Chapter 286: Abandoning prejudices, the world is peaceful
When tiredness hit her again and again, she sat under the maple tree with her knees crossed, huddled into a ball, like a budding snow lotus in the ice and snow, lonely and cold, but growing tenaciously.
Darkness gradually enveloped the earth, and when the sound of dead leaves breaking sounded, a warm touch came from her shoulder, and she raised her eyes and smiled, and then pillowed her chin in the crook of her arm, silent.
After Ji Nuan put on a cloak for her, she sat next to her, looking up at the crescent moon in the bright stars, a heart of ups and downs gradually fell into silence, and she was silent for a long time before she looked sideways at Yu Man and said, "If you like it here, how about we build a wooden house here and live?"
Yu Man shook his head lightly, looking at Song Wangchen who was looking for dry firewood to make a fire, and there were many words of apology in his heart that he wanted to say, but in the end he didn't say anything, some hurt, if he didn't mention it, maybe he could still get along well, and saying too much would only make everyone embarrassed.
In fact, after Song Wangchen knew the identity of his previous life, he also resented Twilight Han, so he didn't care about Twilight's reputation, nor did he consider Cheng Xiaorou's face, he only thought about aggrieved Jiang Yu and Zhaoxue for the fox clan, and exposed Twilight's conspiracy in front of Baimen.
But after learning Yu Man's identity today, he found that he no longer had hatred in his heart, Yu Man was just Xiao Nuan's sister, Jiang Yu's wife, and a weak woman who was rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, that's all!
Yu Man stared at the scorching bonfire, but his mind drifted to the clouds, even if Ji Nuan and Song Wangchen didn't say anything, the pure friendship she had with Ji Nuan couldn't go back, and the gully called guilt in her heart was like a thin thorn stuck in her throat, invisible to the naked eye, but she felt the pain very clearly.
In the quiet and silent night, none of the three of them opened their mouths to break the silence, until the first light of dawn sprinkled down, Yu Man slowly got up, patted the dust on his body, and said with a smile: "Ji Nuan, I want to go back to Changyu, my father is still here, where is there any reason not to go home, as for this maple forest, it is time to return to its original tranquility." ”
"Okay, I'll go with you!" Ji Nuan immediately got up, and as usual, naturally took her hand, with a quiet smile on her pretty face.
Yu Man was a little stunned, but she didn't refuse, she looked back at the tall maple tree again, and said to Jiang Yu in her heart, "I'll be back soon, wait for me!" When she turned around, the tears that had already dried up appeared in her eyes again, but she was smiling, smiling with relief.
......
Returning to Changyu is obviously not a good choice, from the moment the three of them set sail on the shore of the sub-coast, the foreign trade traders on the ship out of the island pointed at Yu Man and whispered.
The demon clan's harm to the people of Changyu is a wound that can never be erased from the bottom of their hearts, Yu Yuanyang kept saying that Yu Man was forced to leave Changyu, but now she is returning with a pregnant belly, or the evil seed left by the blood demon. But no matter how angry they were, they didn't dare to say it directly, so along the way, except for Song Wangchen who was still a little seasick, nothing major happened.
But as soon as the three of them got off the boat and walked on the ferry, they felt the 'warm welcome' of the people of Changyu.
A group of women and children carrying vegetable baskets did not hesitate to smash the vegetables, fruits and eggs in the basket at Yu Man, and the insult in their mouths was nothing more than that Yu Man was in love with the blood demon and was pregnant with the demon fetus.
Song Wangchen stretched out his sleeves and stopped in front of Yu Man and Ji Nuan, and was hit by an egg in the center of his eyebrows, which was not painful, but it was very heart-piercing.
He could have used his skills or laid an enchantment to block all the attacks, but he couldn't raise it, his father's fault, since Jiang Yu made the mistake first, he should bear all the consequences for his son.
There were all 'weapons' such as fruits and vegetables, and his face was cold, but he took them one by one.
Yu Man watched all this coldly, and there was no expression on his indifferent face, but he was sad in his heart.
Thousands of years ago, these trumped-up charges were personally charged by Twilight Han for Ling Cheng, so that he became a disgrace to the fairy sect and the scum of the human race in the eyes of the world. Today, Ling Cheng has disappeared in the eyes of the world, and those insulting words have gradually stopped.
The funny thing is that today, thousands of years later, the shame of this fairy gate has become herself, and Song Wangchen is actually protecting her, this is to repay grievances with virtue!
A middle-aged man in the crowd was already holding a bow and crossbow and shot a cold arrow, but Song Wangchen still did not dodge, and he did not even move the cloth for half a minute.
"Enough!" Ji Nuan shouted, with a flick of her jade hand, the cold arrow went straight into the ground, and she walked around in front of Song Wangchen, with three points of anger in her clear eyes, and more helplessness.
She wanted to persuade the people to stop, but she also understood that the pain and resentment of losing a loved one could not be easily resolved with a few words of apology, so she did not apologize humbly, but asked coldly, "What do you want to do?"
The noisy crowd gradually quieted down, everyone looked at each other, and they had no idea for a while, they just felt that Yu Man, as the eldest lady of Changyu, was arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and now he was still entangled with the blood demon, and even pregnant with the evil seed of the blood demon, such a person is not worthy of staying in Changyu.
The middle-aged man with a bow and crossbow saw that everyone did not answer, and his heart was even more resentful, his parents, wives and children were all killed at the hands of the demons, the blood demon was dead, and the demon clan was gone, this blood debt should have been gradually forgotten, but the child in Yu Man's womb was the seed of the blood demon, he couldn't convince himself not to be angry, so he pulled the bow and arrow again, and said angrily: "The demon clan slaughtered my homeland, killed my parents, wife and children, the evil seed of the blood demon must not be left, you must be except for him, otherwise you will get out of Changyu for me." ”
The emotions of the others were involved, and they also shouted nonsense, let Yu Man get rid of the evil seed of the blood demon, otherwise he would get out of Changyu, and he would never be allowed to step into Changyu for half a step.
Yu Man twisted her eyebrows and looked at the emotional people, her heart was disorganized, she went back to Changyu just to do her filial piety as a daughter in the last days of her life, but she didn't expect this situation to happen today, she pulled Ji Nuan's clothes, and said helplessly, "Let's go!" and fainted.
When she awoke, she was lying on the wooden bed in the Qinxiang Garden, and beside the bed sat her father, who was holding her little hand, his white hair like frost and snow was tied high, and the wrinkles on his forehead were getting deeper and deeper, but there was a loving smile on his face.
Yu Yuanyang told her that he had solved the affairs of the people, so that she could stay in Changyu with peace of mind, and he was still waiting for his little grandson to call him grandfather.
An understatement, but it crushed all the strength of Yu Man's disguise, she got up and hugged her father and cried loudly, and the grievances between father and daughter for more than ten years finally disappeared at this moment.
But the truth of the matter is far from being as simple as described in Yu Yuanyang's mouth, he rushed to the ferry as soon as he knew that Yu Man had returned to Changyu, and saw that she was wantonly abused until she fainted in Ji Nuan's arms, and ordered someone to drive the carriage and forcibly drive through the crowd, bringing Yu Man, Ji Nuan and Song Wangchen back to Yu Mansion.
Then Yu Yuanyang admitted all his mistakes in front of everyone, and expressed his willingness to fight with his life, but the people still did not forgive, how could his life alone be worth hundreds of innocent people who died in Changyu, and they wanted the child of the blood demon to disappear from this world.
Yu Yuanyang's several painstaking persuasions still failed to be understood, and finally he was forced to make a heavy oath in the name of the ancestors of the Yu family, promising the people that if the child in Yu Man's womb was born and was not an ordinary person, he would personally execute their mother and son together, and then apologize for their crimes, and this turmoil gradually subsided.
Soon after, Duxi took the lead in issuing new rules, and Cheng Xiaorou demanded that when Duxi disciples kill demons and eliminate demons in the future, they must correct their cause and effect, so as to determine their good and evil, and then deal with crimes.
In addition, she also corrected some inappropriate places in the Dusk Creek precepts, and changed the precept that it was not allowed to be associated with demons to that all disciples of Twilight Creek were not allowed to use demon pills to refine medicine to improve their cultivation, otherwise they would be expelled from Twilight Creek.
The three Venerables of Dusk Creek are indispensable, so Cheng Xiaorou handed over the position of the Bamboo Peak Venerable and the management of the Discipline Hall to Mo Yang, of course, Mo Yang is also the best candidate unanimously recognized by everyone in Dusk Creek.
Baimen then followed suit and followed the same new rules, and the hatred of the people in the Xianmen towards the demons was gradually weakening, but it was not easy for the three clans of humans, demons, and demons to truly coexist peacefully, after all, in the eyes of the world, demons were still their fearful existence.
And the most resistant to the new rules of Xianmen, is the people of Changyu, they have not only fear of demons, but also endless hatred, they even think that Yu Yuanyang came out with this rule, just to protect the evil seed in his daughter's womb, so the Yu family ushered in the second storm of the people's collective resistance.
This time, it was Ji Nuan and Song Wangchen who made their identities in their previous lives public, and sincerely made a humble gesture, and also expressed their willingness to make up for Jiang Yu's mistakes, but it would definitely not be in the way of exchanging their lives for their lives.
Due to Song Wangchen's obscenity and the backer behind him, the people of Changyu could only leave reluctantly, and a storm was quelled again.
In the next two months, Ji Nuan would relieve her pain by crossing the power of ice condensation for Yu Man when she had a febrile convulsion, and would also chat with her in her spare time, or simply accompany her to walk around Yu's mansion.
The rest of the time, Ji Nuan and Song Wangchen went door-to-door to comfort the people in Changyu who were deeply victimized by the demons, and did some small things with them all day long to repair their homes.
Although the people were very resistant to the behavior of the two at the beginning, they felt that the two of them were just coy, everyone was dead, and the acts of apology and condolences were all empty talk, and there was a situation where they closed the door when they saw him.
Even so, the two of them have never been discouraged, and they still unrelentingly appease the people of Changyu, and the more times they have been, the resentment in the hearts of the people has gradually decreased.
In fact, they have always understood in their hearts that although Jiang Yu attracted Changyu to the demon soldiers, Jiang Yu has never hurt anyone in Changyu, and even drove away the demon soldiers for them at the last moment, so this hatred is also changing with time, and with the pure hearts of Ji Nuan and Song Wangchen, it is becoming weaker and weaker, and more and more blurred.
