Although the night wind in the maple forest is a bit strong, it is particularly fresh. Even at night, the fiery red maple leaves almost reflect the sky red. I saw that it was still early, so I agreed with Meng Yunzhong to rest in the maple forest for a night before returning. Such a scenery is indeed not everywhere.

The white-clothed immortal was originally named Gui Chen. Since seeing this jade pendant, his attitude suddenly changed a lot. Although he still had prejudice against me, he did not speak ill of us anymore.

"Yinluo, how did you get Master Fu's jade pendant?"

Meng Yunzhong and I sat in the middle of the maple forest, quietly leaning on his shoulders, admiring the night sky on the maple forest. But he suddenly asked, thinking that this question had been coiling in his heart for a long time.

"Yun Zhong, do you believe me?"

I looked up at him, and my eyes met. He hesitated for a moment, but nodded anyway.

"I was indeed picked up in a forest in the suburbs of Suining Town. I didn't know its origin at first, but when Master Fu said that day, I guessed that this might be the token given to him by the immortal. I didn't want to take it out, but I didn't expect that the immortal would find it myself."

Meng Yunzhong pondered for a moment and then said:

"Then, what did the Rejuvenating Grass Demon you mentioned to the immortal just now? Is Mr. Fu's concubine..."

"Yes, Yunniang is also a monster, but the Fuling Herb is a fairy grass that can cure all diseases. She is pure and naturally will not do evil. If it weren't for this, how could ordinary people treat Sister You's disease?"

Unexpectedly, Meng Yunzhong chuckled softly and said, "I didn't expect that a few people have extraordinary destiny. I really understand the insignificance of mortals now."

For some reason, when he said this, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind: Maybe, there would be an unusual fate in him? But immediately, I secretly laughed at myself. Although everyone around him seemed to be very human, what could this mean? He was just an ordinary person, but he happened to be trapped in this complicated relationship. And why am I not? If my mother hadn't suddenly died many years ago, I might have just been a little demon living in a depressed forest. If possible, I would rather he be just a pure and mortal, and I would have known nothing. I looked at his side face and deliberately changed the topic.

"Yun Zhong, what's the scenery here compared to Xiaozhu?"

"The maple forest here is better than fire, and the night sky is bright and clean. It is really a rare and beautiful scene, but I still prefer the freshness and elegance of the small building. It is not so ostentatious. Such beautiful scenery is only suitable for the surprise and appreciation that passes by, but not for staying."

"Well, actually, I think so too, so we have to finish all this quickly and return to Xiaozhu."

"ignorance!"

I raised my head and looked at it when I heard the sound, but I saw Gui Chen standing on the top of a maple tree, looking down at us disdainfully.

"It's really a delusion to think that monsters want to unite with mortals!"

After hearing what he said, I felt a lot of anger for no reason.

"What's more, how long can you live without this magical sword?"

I went from anger to surprise. Can he see the demon poison I was in?

"The demon is a kind of foreign object born from the spiritual energy of the mortal source. It has neither the perfect cycle of life, old age, sickness, death, reproduction and continuation, nor the powerful spiritual power compared with gods and demons. How can one be qualified to enjoy the seven emotions and six desires of mortals? It is just a delusion!"

"There is no perfect cycle of life, old age, sickness, death, reproduction and continuation..." What does this mean?

"What did you say?"

"Hmph! I said, the demon is extremely humble, and there is no reincarnation to revolve around life, how can the meaning of survival come from?"

I stood up from the ground, jumped up, and stood on the tree opposite him. Meng Yunzhong stood under the tree, at a loss.

"Gui Chen, please make it clear, what is life without reincarnation?"

"Hmph! Do you know that besides mortals, gods and demons also have the ability to reproduce and revive? However, because the lifespan of the gods is too long, the ancient Emperor forced this ability to seal this ability to maintain the constant number of gods. Unless the time when the gods are declining, the seal will not be broken. Only a thousand years ago, a god forcibly broke this seal and gave birth to a woman with a mortal woman. The demons also have the ability to fertilize, but the demons have been fertile for a long time, and in the end they only

It can be scattered everywhere in the world in the form of a demon spirit, and only by finding creatures who want to become demons as hosts can they recover. Needless to say, mortals are, only demons, without fathers or mothers, are the place where demonic energy is everywhere, forcibly changing the original form of all things. Except for the nine-tailed fox clan, they have no breeding ability, and their spiritual power is fragile. Most of them die young. Even if they survive by chance, their lifespan is much less than that of gods and demons. Many monsters are trying to increase their spiritual power by evil methods. Wouldn't they go against the will of heaven?"

"You said, demons have no father or mother?"

"What is the right of a humble demon to enjoy the joy of family life for children?"

"Can monsters and other races reproduce?"

"Disillusion!"

Like a bolt from the blue, Gui Chen's words evoked the last sentence Cang Li said to me before. I turned to look at Meng Yunzhong, and suddenly, I realized that there were too many questions on myself that I had not solved. After the fate between me and Meng Yunzhong ended, I was afraid that I would have to run around for my secret again.

"However, it seems that you, the monster, are covered with other spiritual power, which is strange."

"Other spiritual powers? What does it mean?"

"I can't see clearly either. In addition to the demonic energy, there are other spiritual power fluctuations on you... Slow down... How is this possible... How is this possible?" Gui Chen turned into a surprised look, completely different from the cold expression just now, but his words stopped there. Could it be because of the Holy Spirit Spring on my body?

"You should take care of yourself!"

After saying that, Gui Chen jumped down and disappeared into the layers of maple forest in a flash, leaving me with a hint of doubt. I also landed on the ground and walked to Meng Yunzhong.

"Yinluo, what did he do to you, right?"

"No, he just told me some stories about gods and demons." I smiled and said lightly, but I concluded that Meng Yunzhong could still see my thoughts, but he had no idea.

At this moment, Gui Chen's words kept reappearing in my heart: It was a delusion to want monsters to unite with mortals! Although Meng Yunzhong and I have made a vow, I have also made up my mind not to care about those arbitrary responsibilities and obstacles, but for some reason, I can't feel relieved at all times. It is really difficult to truly be rude.

That night, Gui Chen's words became no longer all beautiful. I really wanted to talk to Meng Yunzhong, but I really didn't know how to express what I was thinking. I just wanted to wait until all this was over, and maybe there would be no other criticism.

Guichen used illusion to transform a bamboo house next to the bamboo house where he lived, so that I and Meng Yunzhong could rest.

After Meng Yunzhong fell asleep, I walked into the forest alone.

"Monster, in the middle of the night, do you still want to do evil in my maple forest?"

As soon as I walked to the bamboo house fence, I saw Gui Chen standing in white clothes on the canopy of a maple tree not far from me. He saw me looking up and then fell down, but he still stopped at a distance from me. He really had a deep prejudice against demons.

"I still don't understand what you said today, so I want to ask you for a clear answer."

"Hmph, what else do you have to know?"

"To be honest, you mentioned that monsters have no father or mother, but I was raised by my mother. Why is that?"

"Don't talk nonsense! How do monsters have the title of mother? Even if there is, it is just an excuse for many evil monsters to collude and commit evil."

“Is there no exception?”

"Of course not. Unless, you are not a demon at all!"

"Not a demon..." After a moment of contemplation, I thought of another question, "Then what exactly is there hidden behind the demonic aura in me?"

"Can you not know it?"

"I did live in the Demon Realm for several years, and the blood on my body is the Holy Spirit Spring of the Demon Realm. Are you talking about this?"

"Holy Spirit Spring? What is the relationship between Cang Li, the Demon Realm, and you? Why does Cang Rong's Sword protect you?"

"I didn't expect you to know him too? He took me to the Demon Realm and exchanged my blood."

"Hmph! I Jian Yao is worthy of this."

"You haven't answered me yet."

"It's useless to say more. The spiritual power hidden in you is far from that, but I can't see it at this time."

"So there are times when immortals don't know?"

"Hmph! Even the gods in this world may not be fully understood. How can I speak nonsense?"

"Forget it, since you don't know, I'll just not ask. But I still have a question." I looked at his displeasure after being ridiculed by me, and suddenly felt a little interesting. "What is the origin of the jade pendant you retrieved from your body today? Does the owner of the jade pendant have a deep relationship with you?"

"How could you, a monster, discover such a secret?"

Sure enough, when the jade pendant or its owner was mentioned, Gui Chen immediately became excited. I smiled strangely and said:

"Of course I can't find out, but I want to tell the immortal that this jade pendant was found in a place where monsters live. Are you not afraid of any adverse effects on the owner of the jade pendant?"

"Take it seriously?" Gui Chen turned his head arrogantly, but after hearing what I said, not only did he turn his head, but his expression seemed to be a little more surprised.

"And since you have a good relationship with the owner of the jade pendant, you should know that his wife is not a good person. If this monster colluded with his wife and secretly went to Chen Cang, would you sit back and ignore him?"

"I don't take that little snake monster seriously, and the owner of the jade pendant is enough to deal with it. But... are there really monsters rushing?" He seemed to know a lot about dealing with Huanen.

"It's enough to deal with it? Well, you can tell whether you believe it or not." I smiled coldly, "Since I've finished asking, I won't disturb you. Anyway, you will go to Suining with us tomorrow and confirm it yourself. By the way, I don't know if the immortals can know space spells?"

"Why did this question?"

"Time is urgent to save people. If the immortal doesn't know how to do so, he has to ask you to condescend and go back with us. However, the Nine-tailed Fox Demon will cast the spell."

"Hmph! I have always only practiced the art of purifying and meditating my mind. I have never been interested in such evil magic."

"Okay, at noon tomorrow, we will set out in Lijiang outside Yifeng Valley and head together."

I smiled slightly, Gui Chen snorted disdainfully, and disappeared into the maple forest, leaving only a red color. His character, which was so silly to save face, was really interesting.

The next day, Meng Yunzhong and I came to Lijiang Town first. Before noon, this gave me some time to wander. The folk customs here are harmonious and there are mostly foreign style buildings, which is indeed very different from Suining Town. Many exquisite foreign decorations and clothing also have unique flavors, and the clear and beautiful environment is really a blessed Feng Shui land.

It’s strange that after leaving Yifeng Valley, Cangrong’s sword naturally turned into invisible and no longer had any abnormality. Could it be that Gui Chen set up a barrier?

However, at this moment, a commotion broke out not far away, and the crowd gradually gathered together. I faintly smelled a smell and walked over with Meng Yunzhong.

"You barbarians really don't have a trace of pity! Seeing that my clothes are so thin, I don't want to give me a shy dress, but I have to frame me so harshly."

"You woman is so unreasonable! You stole the clothes from my shop while I was unprepared, but you were still making excuses!"

When I got closer, I saw the fox demon's bent body and charming and innocent face. I guess she was having fun with these mortals again. People around me were talking, not all for the sake of the stolen clothes. Her bold lichen was the focus of people.

"Brother's words are so ugly. What's the point of stealing? Since I am a daughter, I always have shame. If you slander others like this, you really have to be responsible for me..."

The fox demon was better than that, leaning directly towards the innocent shop owner. The sudden embarrassing scene made the surroundings even more excited. The shop owner also lost his inch and his hands and feet seemed to be frozen. I don’t know what to do.

"Who is the evil person? You dare to make trouble in public!"

Just as the fox demon was enjoying this farce with fearlessness, someone shouted loudly among the crowd. Suddenly, the crowd's discussion became much lower, and they all looked in the direction where the sound came.

But I saw a man wearing Hanfu, full of vicissitudes and a stubborn face standing in the crowd, facing the fox demon in a slanted face. The fox demon looked at the man with a squinted look, his face changed slightly, but he immediately started to laugh again.

"Who do I think I am? Even if you are so old, you dare to steal my family? My family's heart has been handed over to this brother..."
