Chapter 28: True or False
Master Yuezhuo slipped away quickly, and disappeared as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
Ahri said in pieces, this master, half and half do things. Since they saw through the true face of the woman, they didn't leave them a solution.
Su Yan was still thinking anxiously about what Fang Cai Yuezhuo said. Ahri asked on the side, "Su Yan, if that woman is really a nine-tailed fox, what are you going to do?"
Although Ahri asked inadvertently, Su Yan was also stunned by his question. He had never thought about this problem, nor did he expect that the strange beasts in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" would appear beside him.
Although he likes to travel, he feels that the strange things that travel in the mountains and rivers are just hearsay, and they are just a pastime after tea and dinner. And now, listening to Ahri's question, Su Yan wanted to think about this question.
After Ahri passed through the incident in Chang'an, his originally carefree and frivolous temperament has also been restrained a lot. He also really understood what Master Yuezhuo said at that time, what mortal minds were called.
Maybe it's Yaoye's death, and he hasn't let go of it yet. Until now, he hadn't really figured out his feelings for Yaoye. However, it is certain that Yao also colluded with the government and killed the same kind, which really hurt Ahri's heart.
And now, Ahri also wants to know what the so-called mortal in his eyes, and his brother, who has also been in trouble, think of their demon clan?
"Little Master Li Tan, I think that if that ancient beast really turned into a humanβ" Su Yan held his chin in both hands and said, "If it is good, people can form an inseparable friendship with it." β
"If it is evil, if it is heinous, it will be killed, but if it is a bitter intention, then know it with affection, move it with reason, and try to influence it." β
Su Yan couldn't stop talking, only listening to Ahri, "Little brother Su Yan, if you're thirsty, drink a cup of tea first." β
Su Yan took a sip of tea and continued to say to Ahri, "Eh, Li Tan's little son, speaking of this nine-tailed fox, do you know that Daji during the Shang Dynasty?"
Ahri rolled his eyes, he just asked a question, this guy wasn't done yet.
Not only is it endless, but Su Yan also became more and more energetic the more he spoke, "Little boy Li Tan, do you know that this Daji is not only a stunning beauty, but also an infatuated master.... I want to think about that time...."
Su Yan said, his voice was full of emotion, and his eyebrows danced. In the end, he simply got up directly, and even used his hands and feet.
Ahri doesn't know where to go, but Daji is also one of his ancestors. However, this guy brought disaster to the country because of his beauty, and was finally given a bloody knife by the old man Jiang who had a white beard and loved fishing.
This is one of the many myths that Master Yuezhuo told him, of course, for mortals it is a myth, for demons, that is history.
So at that time, after hearing this, Ahri was even more determined that he would be able to transform into a man in the future. If you accidentally turn into a beautiful woman who captivates the country and the city, and turns all beings upside down, wouldn't you want to repeat the path taken by your ancestors?
And Su Yan hasn't finished speaking at the moment-
"What I envy the most is her love with the king of Yin, and in the end, because of King Yin, she gave up her immortal body and killed herself....."
Give up the immortal body?
Ahri listened to his words, and the more he listened, the more puzzled he became, how could there be a discrepancy with what Master Yuezhuo said?
Could it be that they listened to different versions of the story?
"Wait.... You say, Daji killed herself in the end, didn't you say that she was a demon who had been killed by that old guy from Mrs. Jiang?"
Ahri asked, puzzled.
Su Yan stretched out a slender finger of his right hand and shook it from side to side, "That's just a popular version of folk circulation. And the real ending is what I just said. β
Ahri dismissed, "You know again?"
Su Yan squinted his eyes and approached Ahri with a wicked smile, and Ahri was so frightened by his appearance that his hairs stood on end. If it was in that fox form, I'm afraid that the hair would have spread out like static electricity.
"Because I've seen - "Mountains and Seas Secret Scroll". Do you know that Daji was originally a maidservant under Nuwa's throne, because King Yin was disrespectful to Nuwa. Nuwa sent Daji to cause trouble in the court, and after the matter was completed, when she was about to rank in the immortal class, she died with the king..."
Ahri naturally didn't know such a legend about Daji, he didn't know that Daji was also an immortal, and when he came to the Shang Dynasty, he could be regarded as going to the world to experience a catastrophe.
If it was a tribulation, he might return to Heaven after death, and he couldn't help but ask, "What about later?"
"No later. Su Yan said.
"Why? Isn't Daji an immortal? Isn't it a reward for completing the task?"
"She voluntarily gave up this opportunity and went with love..... Su Yan raised her eyes, and her white face sighed.
Ahri was a little surprised, if this version Su Yan said was little known to the world. So, why did the legend about Daji that circulated among the people deliberately smear Daji's image and make everyone spurn it?
And those, the so-called legends, who compiled them? One pass on ten, ten to hundreds, hundreds to thousands, thousands of generations, I am afraid that if they are passed on to the end, they will have long been unrecognizable.
Any legend, any history, does not know its true ending without experiencing it personally.
But there was one question that made Ahri quite curious.
"Su Yan, what is the "Secret Scroll of Mountains and Seas" you are talking about, where can I see it?"
Ahri asked, only to see Su Yan's face again, and the corners of his lips were bent, "Little apprentice Li Tan, do you want to see it? There is still some talk about the reproduction between foreign beasts." β
Ahri's face was already red to the root of his ears, maybe he was ashamed and had auditory hallucinations, but he heard Master Yuezhuo's roar in the distance, "Bastard Su Yan, take advantage of me to collect my clothes, dare to tease my precious apprentice!"
.......
Ah Liang hesitated in the room whether to soak the medicinal powder into the freshly made white rice porridge.
The white porridge was still steaming, and the smoke swayed upward, circling around his head, as if forming thousands of invisible hands, pulling at his neck, and repeating, "Pour.... Pour it......"
Ah Liang shuddered, and the fingers of his hands carefully twisted the ends of the kraft paper, and the powder on it swayed. With a snap, the medicine bag fell to the ground, and the medicine powder was scattered all over the ground.
He hurriedly grabbed the firewood ashes from the house and sprinkled them on it, threw the kraft paper into the stove, and muttered while breaking it, "No, I still can't do this matter of careless human life, hurry up Ming'er, find an excuse, let them go." β
It's just that the womanβ
Ah Liang's eyes lit up, "The three big men let them go." And Miss Qingqing, I asked her if she would like to stay and be my daughter-in-law. β
Ah Liang came out of the room and brought a hot pot of white porridge to the two of them. Seeing the appearance of these two gobbling up, Ah Liang couldn't stop shaking his head, thinking to himself, he really didn't have any guard at all.
One of the three was missing, and Ah Liang asked, "What about another son?"
"Oh," Ahri swallowed, with white porridge still in his mouth, and said, "He went to collect his clothes." β
At this time, Qingqing came out of the back room and changed into a man's clothes, and the clothes of a big man in coarse linen clothes looked so good on her. The uneven figure doesn't care whether you wear linen or satin.
Ah Liang didn't expect that one day, his clothes could be worn on a woman, and she would still be such a good-looking girl. He never dreamed that a girl would be willing to talk to him.
When Ah Liang was a teenager, he liked Xiaolian, the village flower in the village, but Xiaolian never gave him a good look, saying that he was ugly and poor.
Ah Liang also thought that if one day, a kind and beautiful woman could not dislike him and live a life of coarse tea and light food with him, then he would not pursue glory and wealth, and would rather be in an ordinary life like this.
He was so stunned that he forgot to ask for warmth. Seeing that the porridge on the table was not yet cold, he hurriedly asked, "Miss Qingqing is up, you are hungry, come and drink some porridge." β
After that, Ah Liang picked up the dishes on the side, helped Qingqing fill a bowl, and blew it gently.
