Chapter 87: The Book Demon of Fadu
The Demon Venerable reversed the past and spent a year to law the Qin Demon and the Chess Demon, in order to add another elite to the Northern Heaven Demon Realm, and the three of them changed into mortals to enjoy the downtown area. I saw that where many people watched, some people were writing on the street, and most of them were teaching people to obey the etiquette, teach each other husband and children, and be loyal, righteous, benevolent and filial piety.
Demon Venerable shook his head secretly, and Qin Demon asked: "Why did Demon Venerable shake his head? After many inquiries from us, he is indeed obsessed with books, as long as he wakes up properly like me and the chess demon, the book demon will become a demon, and the power of our Northern Heaven Demon Realm will be even greater." ”
"The book demon is very knowledgeable and can speak well, but the obsession is not deep, and he may not want to go to the north sky. "Demon Venerable went the opposite way.
Demon Venerable hesitated a little, Qin Demon looked at the Chess Demon, the Chess Demon nodded slightly, and the Qin Demon stepped forward alone and asked, "Why are you walking on the street like this?"
"What do you have to do with taking care of yourself?" said the Book Demon angrily.
"I just think it's strange, is it really to educate people to 'know etiquette and understand honesty'?"
"Is this still wrong?" the Book Demon looked at the Demon Venerable hostilely and replied coldly.
The calligraphy demon stopped the calligraphy performance, and everyone shook their heads and dispersed, and the book demon was shocked when he saw this.
"It's all you who drove away my audience, and I finally recruited them. The book demon was a little distressed.
"It is really tragic to teach people to learn well but to be difficult to become strong, and to recruit people with their skills. The chess demon said with disdain.
"When people understand my hard work, they will love it, pity my sincerity......" The book demon sighed exaggeratedly, and the piano demon and the chess demon shook their heads silently.
The Demon Venerable observed it for a long time, and finally saw the clue, and stepped forward to salute and said, "The calligraphy demon performs calligraphy on the street for another purpose, right?"
“...... What purpose?" asked the Book Demon unnaturally.
"Hehe, you're different from the Qin Demon and the Chess Demon, you're not completely obsessed, you're going to take the opportunity to promote the book you wrote, right?" said the Demon Venerable bluntly.
"This ...... How do you know? The book demon blushed.
"Hehe, it's not difficult to recruit people, but the book you write is difficult for ordinary people to accept, and only by gathering some people with knowledge and family background. "Demon Venerable went the opposite way.
"But I want more people to know about my 'Thousand Poems', so that more people can understand the good manners, but it is just to cater to some rich people, right? Even if what you say is true, except for the large number of people on the street, there are not many people in other places, and you can't do it here, what other good way can you do?" said the book demon with great melancholy.
"What influence does a layman have with a thousand words? For example, most of the people are cynical people, like you and me, not to mention tens of millions? How can the book demon not understand the simple truth that cannot persuade people? Who wants to listen to a person who has never succeeded to talk about how to succeed? Who would pay attention to what a humble person with no name preaches? Hehe, what does the book demon think the reverse says?" Demon Venerable said with a wry smile that was a little sad.
"This ...... But how do you find these people of prestige?" the Book Demon began to look at the Demon Venerable with reverence.
"There is a way to gather a lot of rich people. Demon Venerable smiled.
"Oh, really, fake?" the book demon was interested.
"Isn't it time for the Qin Demon's piano to be replaced?" the Demon Venerable turned his face and smiled at the Qin Demon Dao.
Qin Demon didn't understand what Mozun meant, but he knew that Mozun wanted him to give up this qin, although this qin has followed Qin Demon for decades, and Qin Demon also cherishes it, but Mozun's words must be reasonable.
"yes, it's time for a change, hehe. "Qin Demon said.
"Immediately sell it on the street, a thousand taels of gold. "Demon Venerable went the opposite way.
"Ah, a thousand taels of gold, my piano is worth a maximum of ten taels of silver. Qin Demon exclaimed.
"The book demon found a box and waited for me to conjure you a thousand taels of gold, and in a moment you will buy the piano when there are many people, and tell everyone that they will play it with the piano of a thousand gold, and they must buy a book you wrote as proof. As soon as the Demon Venerable spoke, the Book Demon immediately understood.
After the qin demon shouted loudly, sure enough, many people gathered around, and more and more people gathered around, and there were constantly rich family members and servants who went back to tell their masters about the strange things on the street, and many rich people came out with a shy stomach to see what kind of qin was worth a thousand taels of gold.
Just when the people were almost here, and everyone was talking about it, the book demon pushed aside everyone and stepped forward to watch the qin demon's piano carefully.
"Good guqin, good divine qin, legend has it that this qin can play the sound of heaven, the listener can not only eliminate all kinds of diseases but also prolong life, a thousand taels of gold is too valuable, I want this piano." The book demon pretended to be.
Everyone watched as a whole box of gold was handed over to the Qin Demon, and they immediately sighed.
"Can you play a song?" the chess demon asked in time, and many people eagerly agreed.
"Hehe, is the golden piano played casually? How can you enjoy the magic of the Shenqin without a sincere heart? If anyone wants to listen to the natural sound of the Shenqin, they will first buy my poetry book as a certificate, and tomorrow in the 'Baofeng Teahouse', I will ask the master to play for everyone, but the number of people is limited and they can't all go. The Book Demon shouted haughtily.
As soon as they heard that it would cost money, many ordinary people retreated, leaving only some rich people who felt that it didn't cost much to buy a book, but they could hear the natural sound of the golden piano, and it was worth it to prolong life, and in a blink of an eye, the book demon's 'finished book' was snatched up.
Seeing that the daughter bought the piano, no one would doubt that someone would use such a big bet just to sell a few books.
Baofeng Tea House is overcrowded. Everyone is holding the book of the book demon and waving, no one cares about his book, everyone's eyes are staring at his piano, the book demon suddenly feels infinitely sad, he is for fame and not for profit, he wants to become a famous person as soon as possible, so that the words will have more weight, and more people can be educated to know etiquette and goodness, so that it can also change many injustices in the world. If public opinion is not awakened, the people will always be scattered, but now everything seems to backfire.
The piano demon played the piano sound, which was terrible and unpleasant, and the people holding the book couldn't stand the sound of the heavens, and they shouted that they were fooled, and almost everyone angrily tore the book to pieces and threw it at the piano demon and the book demon.
"The world would rather pursue the illusory and ethereal sound of heaven than calm down and read my poetry and books, what is the use of me as a book?"
"Food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace, and Cang Lishi naturally knows etiquette. What ordinary people need is real warmth, how can a person who has eaten a meal but not a meal raise his head and beg for others? Not to mention being knowledgeable. "Demon Venerable went the opposite way.
"I have the desire to 'help the poor people', but I really can't go back, what will I do?" the book demon sighed.
"Abandon literature and practice martial arts, and sweep away the injustice in the world. "Demon Venerable went the opposite way.
"Who did you learn from?", the book demon said.
"I will help you practice 'Practicing Book Magic', it won't take years for you to become a demon, and you will have boundless power, and then you will be able to punish evil and promote good. The world is so dim, it is not possible to 'educate with books', and eight times out of ten people are illiterate...... Even if there are many literati and writers, these people have no intention of 'other people's poetry and books', they are only enthusiastic about endless debates...... So we have to do feats that everyone in the world can see. "The Demon Venerable is against the grain and has ambitions in the chest.
"The two of us have been enlightened by the Demon Venerable to join the Northern Heaven Demon Realm, and the Qin Demon and the Chess Demon hope to advance and retreat together with the Book Demon. ”
"The Book Demon is willing to enter the Northern Heaven to follow the Demon Venerable, and he wants to benefit the people in the name of the 'Demon Realm' that everyone misunderstands. ”
The Demon Venerable went against the grain and the Qin Demon and the Chess Demon to see that the book was successful, and they were very happy, and the four of them laughed loudly.
With the help of the Demon Venerable, the Qin Demon, and the Chess Demon, the Book Demon quickly refined the third Demon Eye and completely became a demon.
"I don't know which one I'm going to do next?" the Book Demon asked the Demon Venerable.
"It's time for the painting demon to be born. "Demon Venerable said.
"What's the situation with the Drawing Demon?" asked the Demon.
"Painting Demon is a person who fantasizes about using his own paintbrush to make his wife who bakes flatbread live a good life, but unfortunately his wife refuses to give him a chance, and just wants to paint magic as her life's work. This woman is very indecent and very ruthless, she looks down on the painting demon, and there is no shame in hooking up behind her back, but the painting demon is so miserable that she can't survive independently, so she has to swallow her anger. In the face of the embarrassing situation, there is no way to draw demonic qi to death, so he can only hold a pen and paint all day long. His wife no longer bought him pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and he was like a chess demon in the past, painting on the sand by the stream all day long with tree branches, and he was already crazy. Alas, poor man. Demon Venerable said with great sympathy.
"Such a man is also this fate, a man has no strength to be angry, it is very simple, the most hateful thing is that women are ruthless to men, but men have affection for women, and infatuated men are the most pitiful. Qin Mo sighed.
"Yes, no one has any reason to expect others to understand, any success or failure is between the two, sometimes even the noble pursuit of accomplishment can not get rid of the embarrassment of 'firewood, rice, oil and salt', whether to give up or insist on not complaining to others...... People must first be able to support themselves before they are worthy of pursuit. Demon Venerable smiled bitterly.
"Even if everything is in place, you can't easily abandon your loved ones...... Unless before the big right and wrong...... "The chess demon remembered that he had left all his wealth to his family but had not been able to stay out of it, and his heart was infinitely painful.
"The wife of the painting demon is so ruthless, and the painting demon is still so obsessed, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it......" Qin Demon worried.
"We went to Fadu to draw demons so that he hated his shameless wife to the end, how could he become a demon without anger? and then let him know that he should use his limited life to do something more meaningful, and not indulge in helplessness with women all day long. "Demon Venerable went the opposite way.
"It seems that it is still up to the Demon Venerable to personally draw friends, hahaha. The book demon laughed.
