Chapter 15 There are demons in Da Chu
Since ancient times, there have been many miraculous things in Chu, and most of the Chu people believe in ghosts and gods. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition to the annual ancestor worship ceremony, there are also some small sacrifices to the mountain gods and wild ghosts. The people of Chudi regard these rituals of sacrificing to local mountain gods and wild ghosts as extremely important things to do.
In Chudi, people are not like other countries like the demon clan, and they have their own way of getting along with the demon clan. In Chudi, you can see the demon race working for the human race, and you can also see the human race serving the demon race.
People and demons are here, although they are not completely free of conflicts, but at least, the demon clan can appear in front of people in front of people here, and they can also breathe freely under the blue sky.
No one would kill a demon for no reason, and generally no demon would take the initiative to kill a human. The power of the government and the supervision of the demon clan jointly maintain the peace of Chu.
The demon clan is mostly transformed by grass, trees, fish, insects and beasts that absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and cultivate after opening their spiritual wisdom. There are very few naturally reproduced demon clans.
In ancient times, hundreds of large and small races, such as the demon race and the human race, the god race born of heaven and earth, and a large number of ghost races, coexisted.
There were conquests and attacks against each other, and small races were gradually wiped out or annexed. The big races have also flourished and some have declined.
Compared with the human race, the demon race has extraordinarily strong physical strength and natural spells, but it does not have the ability to reproduce and imitate humans.
Therefore, in the protracted war, the demon clan gradually gained the upper hand, and in the period of the Shang Dynasty, it was even more severely attacked, and many powerful demons died tragically at the hands of the army of the Zhou Dynasty.
Many precious furs, demon pills, bones, and flesh and blood have become common goods and circulated throughout the Great Zhou.
At this time, nearly a thousand years have passed since the disappearance of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
The demon race does not have a strong leader, and it does not have the ability to live and reproduce humans. The remaining big demons either take refuge in the princes and nobles and eat a mouthful of food. Either they can escape to the mountains and act as the protector of some human races in the mountains and enjoy offerings.
Those little monsters who don't have much mana have mostly become coolies of the human race. Living a precarious life.
Countless demon clans on the land died tragically or survived, and their grievances soared into the sky.
Until the reign of King Zhou Li, a powerful demon suddenly appeared in Chudi, who claimed to be the reincarnation of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and possessed an incomparably powerful power of the sun.
He can make the wind and rain in a place, or he can make a place bare.
Some say he is a handsome man, others say she is a beautiful woman who specializes in sucking the essence of the human race. What's more, it is rumored that he is a big demon with a big mouth and thousands of eyes, and he eats 999 children in one meal.
The people have no fixed statement about this demon, only know that after the Chu envoy came into contact with him, the king of Chu announced that in Chu, demons can enjoy the same equal rights as human beings, except that demons and humans are not allowed to intermarry, and there are no special requirements for others.
And the demon clan has also established a demon clan alliance, led by this demon who claims to be the reincarnation of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, with nine major inspectors, and eighty-one inspectors under the nine major inspectors, to jointly supervise and manage the demon clan in Chu.
The demon clan slowly recovered its vitality.
Demons intermarry with demons, and the great mana constantly dials all kinds of little demons that remove the wisdom. In addition, with the prevalence of antiques hyped by the demon clan, the demon clan may not be as good in quality as the ancient period when the Eastern Emperor Taiyi was alive, but at least the quantity is close to what it was before the Shang King.
No matter what the object, after a long time, if you absorb too much people's aura, you will always become a small demon. So these kinds of pots and pans, snuff box demons, crutch demons, hat demons, and mirror demons began to emerge in endlessly. At this time, the king of Chu ordered that whoever found an object should hand it over, and the demon clan would exchange it for elixir, treasure or money.
As time passed, the King of Chu supported it openly and secretly. The demon clan gradually took root and sprouted in Chudi, and gradually flourished. Nowadays, it is common to see a few demons on the street, and even in a slightly more remote town, there are many people who believe in the demon clan. The demons use the spells they have learned to keep the wind and rain right or fight against ferocious beasts. In Chudi, the demon race and the human race coexist in harmony, or rather, at least on the surface.
On this day, in this Shouchun City, the annual summer festival was ushered in. Every family put on new clothes, happily wishing each other a good harvest, peace and prosperity this year. There is also an endless stream of storytellers and entertainers who can't be seen on weekdays. On both sides of the streets of this Shouchun City, there are mostly wooden buildings, or cornices, or carved railings. It's a delicate scene. It also shows the delicacy of Chu people's emotions. On this day, in addition to food and clothing, the children of each family love to watch street tricks and listen to the stories of storytellers.
In an inconspicuous corner of Shouchun City, there is an inconspicuous teahouse, and in this inconspicuous teahouse, there is an equally inconspicuous shopkeeper, who manages the same inconspicuous business.
On this annual summer festival, it rains, which is excellent. It is a sign that the ancestors will bless this year with a good harvest and success. The shopkeeper held a coarse porcelain tea bowl, staggering and drinking tea, and from time to time glanced at the table in the middle of the teahouse, a young man who was talking nonsense. Just now, when the storyteller talked about the war between the ancient demons and the human race, and the defeat of the human race, he rushed forward and wanted to reason with the storyteller. Full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and the supremacy of the human race. In his mouth, the demon clan seems to be inferior, and in his mouth, the giant demon with a strong body and heavenly magic is unable to fight against the weak and powerless human race. In his mouth, all the decisions of the Terrans have far-reaching significance, and a temporary defeat is just a reasonable strategic shift, regardless of the tens of thousands of miles of land that the Terrans have left at this time. Hey, this set of remarks may be widely popular outside of Chudi. But in this Da Chu's territory, he is not very well received.
The young man waved his chopsticks and spat in all directions, completely ignoring the dissatisfaction of the children who had been interrupted to tell the story.
The storyteller, with his long beard and gray hair, did not argue with him, but looked at the young man quietly, and from time to time handed the young man a bowl of tea, so that he could moisten his extremely dry throat.
Finally, when the young man talked about the equality of all beings and the distinction between the noble and the low, the shopkeeper finally couldn't help coughing heavily. It doesn't matter if you talk nonsense here, it doesn't matter if your theories are inconsistent, you just don't cause trouble to me, after your set of remarks, as soon as Wang Jun arrives, I will have to be taken off my head.
The young man seemed unaware of it, and continued to talk about the great rebellion. The shopkeeper finally couldn't bear it anymore, put down the tea bowl, and was about to drive people away. The storyteller glanced at the shopkeeper and waved his hand slightly. The shopkeeper only shook his head with a sigh and returned to the counter.
The storyteller stroked his long beard and looked at the young man with a smile: "Young man, your idea is very novel, I don't know your Excellency's name?"
"Hehe, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, under the surname Gou, he is the scholar of the son of the Li family in Shouchun City. ”
"It turned out to be Mr. Gou, disrespectful, disrespectful, and old, these stories, that is, to tell the children to have fun, Mr. Gou hopes not to take it seriously. I don't know where Mr. came from to be so high-minded?"
The young man scratched his head: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, what kind of gentleman am I." These truths were taught by Mr. Zhou, the former mentor of Childe, and I just followed along."
"Sir has this talent through heaven and earth, why not learn from Su Qin and Zhang Yi to lobby the countries and seek that kind of achievement?"
The young man surnamed Gou turned red, and he said: "At the beginning, Mr. Zhou said that the current level of productivity cannot support this set of theories, but one day, we will definitely be able to achieve the goal that all people are born equal, and the world will not worry about food and clothing." ”
"Mr. Zhou's theory is very clever, according to the old and foolish opinion, it is better for you to compile it into a book, isn't it possible for everyone in the world to read it, and everyone in the world can work together?" said the old storyteller
"This 、、、" The young man scratched his forehead: "I'm afraid of being laughed at"
"Those who achieve great things are not informal. Mr. Gou is so big-hearted, how can he be as rigid as that group of laymen. The old man said again: "The title of this book, the old man has already thought about it, why don't you call it "The Theory of Equality"?"
"The old gentleman is really a confidant!" The young man hurriedly brought a bowl of tea, and wanted to "drink this cup" with the old man.
"Gou Runzhi, young master, I'm tired, go back to the house!" The young man surnamed Gou looked outside the door, put down the tea bowl embarrassedly, and looked at the old man: "Sir, the son called me, see you another day" After speaking, he ran away.
"Eh, tea money!" the shopkeeper hurriedly chased out
"Don't chase it, this tea money, count it in my account" The old man picked up the tea bowl, tasted it again unhurriedly, looked at the expectant eyes of the children around him, and the old man smiled: "Let's continue to continue, where did I say just now?"
The shopkeeper turned around unwillingly and walked in: "Mr. Xu, if I were you, I would have slapped him with a big mouth, and his set of arguments that I heard from nowhere didn't make sense at all." It's also a shame that Mr. listened to it. What's more, he still insulted your old ancestor in his words, and you didn't even get in a hurry with him. ”
The old man didn't raise his eyes to look at him: "Would you argue with chickens and dogs? ”
The shopkeeper bowed his head and continued to return to the counter, holding the tea bowl and listening to the old man continue to tell the story of the year.
The old man gently twisted his beard and said a few words to the children, while looking at Gou Runzhi, who was walking farther and farther away by the sedan chair
Hmph, although those people who crossed the border were killed early, they still unknowingly affected the world. I hope it won't delay my demon clan's 10,000-year plan.
This matter of chasing and killing cross-border people will be left to the beaks of the beaks. But it has nothing to do with me.
It's old
The rain outside the house was a little heavier. Gradually, there was a more and more demonic aura in the air.
