I can travel between two planes

Chapter 20 He's Laughing, and I'm Laughing Too
"Teacher, I want to hear your story about Journey to the West."

Jiang Xian was taken aback for a moment, but couldn't laugh or cry.

Only then did he understand.

It turned out that Gu Mengwan came to him today to listen to the story.

For this reason, Lu Hongshang was deliberately scared away.

The content of Journey to the West is relatively taboo in the world of cultivating immortals.

Because this is a story of harmonious coexistence between man and demon.

There are real monster races in this world.

In ancient times, a war between humans and demons was raging.

China is almost broken.

Pan Gu, the leader of the human race at that time, fought with Luo Hu, the leader of the monster race, for 300 years, regardless of the outcome.

Finally chose to die together.

Pangu turned into mountains and rivers.

To feed back the land of China that was on the verge of collapse due to the war between the two clans.

Luo Hu turned into a demon world.

Let the defeated Yaozu have a place to hide.

Since then, the influence of Yaozu has rapidly weakened in China.

But occasionally, hordes of monsters would emerge from the wild and attack humans.

The monster cannibal.

The wise monster race will even raise humans in captivity.

And human beings hate the monster race because of this, and kill them when they see it.

The bones, flesh and skin are peeled off as materials for alchemy and weapon refining.

Or enslave it.

Treat it like a pet.

The world is as black as crows, so don't tell anyone.

3 million years.

The hatred between the two clans not only did not disappear with the end of the war.

Instead, it continues to this day.

In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong and other characters act as monsters.

But it is an obvious positive role.

This is seriously 'politically incorrect'.

It is easy to attract criticism, and even kill one's life.

It's fine in private.

If it is mentioned in front of outsiders, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen.

Of course, in Jiang Xian's eyes, Lu Hongshang was not an outsider.

But Gu Mengwan still didn't trust her.

Even if they are now in a master-student relationship.

This does not mean that Gu Mengwan is ungrateful.

She is a very smart person.

And smart people don't always like to leave clues to others.

Unless you trust from the bottom of your heart and think that the other party will never betray you.

And such a person may not be competent even if they are their biological parents.

The two sat on the steps of the yard.

By the moonlight and the starry sky.

Jiang Xian told the myth of another world:

"Farewell, master and apprentice, and we saw a high mountain early. Just as we were walking to a steep place, Sanzang said: "Wukong, I'm hungry this day, where do you go for some fasting?" "

The traveler said: "Master, this woman in front of you should not be a good person. She is a goblin, and she is here to deceive you."

Tang Seng said: "What is there to say! When you become a monk, you should always be convenient, and you should never leave your kindness. Sweeping the floor may hurt the lives of ants, and cherish the moth veil lamp. How do you walk fiercely and kill this ordinary person without reason? What is the use of learning the scriptures?" ? You go back!"

Jiang Xian told Gu Mengwan the story of three dozen bone spirits.

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, followed Tang Monk to learn scriptures from the west.

On the way to learn Buddhist scriptures, he repelled the bone spirit who pretended to be a human being to lure Tang Seng three times.

Tang Seng mistakenly thought that he had killed someone, and wanted to break up the master-student relationship with Monkey King.

Hearing that Tang Seng had misunderstood, he drove Wukong away.

Gu Mengwan said sadly:
"Master, they are obviously masters and apprentices, why can't they trust each other?

Is it because Monkey King is a monster and Tang Seng is a human being, so they are destined not to understand each other? "

"The biggest difference between a human and a demon is not blood and appearance, but the heart. The same is true between human beings."

Jiang Xian comforted her.

"In the story, Tang Seng and Monkey King are initially separated because they misunderstood each other's betrayal of trust, but they will eventually reunite because of trust.

Although they are far apart now, their hearts depend on each other. "

Only then did Gu Mengwan's expression soften.

"If you give your heart, you will get your heart, but it may also be completely hurt; if you keep a distance, you can protect yourself, but you are destined to be lonely forever."

Gu Mengwan sighed very maturely.

Then she asked again:
"The teacher once said that humans also have animal nature, and demons also have human nature, so does the half-demon have both?
Is a demon living among humans still a demon?In the same way, is a person living in a demon still a human being? "

Jiang Xian was lost in thought.

The so-called 'half demon'.

That is, the bloodline inherited from the combination of monster race and human beings.

Half demons are an extremely small group.

It is unwelcome on both the human and demon sides.

Their usual behavior is no different from that of human beings.

Inhuman features are revealed only when emotionally charged.

And once their identities are revealed, what awaits them will be a painful tragedy.

Some countries and cities even openly discriminate against half-demons.

Write the persecution of half-demons into the law and deny them human rights.

Discrimination against demigods.

In fact, only half of it comes from the prejudice and disgust of the Yaozu.

The other half comes from the evil in human nature.

People do not necessarily have the heart of a beast: even if they have the heart of a beast, they can see their relatives by their appearance.

Birds and beasts are not necessarily without human hearts: although they have human hearts, they are sparse in appearance.

Those who look like children to me, get close and love them;
Those who are different from me are sparse and fearful.

People don't like things that are different from themselves.

So I repel it in my heart.

Thoughts will be reflected in actions.

That's what's called racial discrimination.

This is the bad root of human nature.

As a heterogeneous species in the world, the half-demon has been controversial for tens of thousands of years.

But as long as it's well hidden.

Half-demons can also live and practice like humans.

No different from ordinary people.

"Because Sun Wukong was taught by the Bodhi Patriarch, he got rid of his animal nature and became like a human being able to understand things and distinguish right from wrong."

Jiang Xian asked Gu Mengwan back.

"Does this mean that if the Yaozu receive education, they can become human?"

She said blankly, "I, I don't know."

"I remember when I was in class before, I told you the principles of sages-a gentleman talks about deeds regardless of his heart, and there is no saint in the world when talking about his heart."

Jiang Xian laughed.

"As long as the monster race behaves like a human, no matter what he thinks in his heart or what he looks like on the outside, then why not treat him as a human being?

On the other hand, if a person is as cruel and sadistic as the monster race, and harms the nature and justice, then no matter whether he is a human or a demon, everyone can be punished! "

Put this sentence outside.

It can be said that a big taboo was committed.

But Jiang Xian still told Gu Mengwan without reservation.

A person's three views begin to be formed from childhood.

Not to mention someone as smart as Gu Mengwan.

Jiang Xian didn't like her becoming a rigid and intolerant person in the future.

Gu Mengwan was thoughtful after hearing this.

Then he stood up and saluted politely.

"Thank you for taking care of me today, teacher."

"Are you going back?" Jiang Xian asked.

"Yes, it's getting late, it's time for a good boy to go to bed."

Gu Mengwan said sensiblely,
"The teacher should still be preparing for the final competition selection, I shouldn't bother you anymore."

"Actually, it's all right, what should be prepared is almost ready, but okay, let's go, I'll give you a ride."

Jiang Xian got up and said.

After listening to the three dozen bones, Gu Mengwan was satisfied.

She is not greedy to follow the follow-up story.

In her words.

A good story should be chewed slowly and savored slowly.

Eating into a fat man.

Not only was it wasteful, it was also a wear and tear on the storyteller.

When hearing this theory.

Jiang Xian's expression was suspicious.

He suspected that Gu Mengwan used his teacher as a music box!

Send Gu Mengwan to the outside of the house.

Jiang Xian stood at the door and watched her go away.

Under the moonlight, Gu Mengwan's shadow swayed gently.

It seems that a dragon's tail has disappeared in a flash.

Jiang Xian rubbed his eyes.

"Is it wrong?"

Late at night, Ye family.

Ye Bufan sat opposite his father Ye Yanghu.

"In the third round of competition, you must beat Jiang Xian."

Ye Yanghu said with a gloomy face.

"Otherwise, not only will your reputation be ruined, but I will also lose face!"

"Don't worry, father, I started building this weapon three years in advance for this year's Grand Competition selection!"

Ye Bufan was full of confidence.

"Now it incorporates all my skills, and the fine steel my father gave me, which has surpassed all my past works.

It is rare to see such a masterpiece in the entire Artifact Refining Pavilion! "

"Oh? Can I let my father watch it?"

"It's impossible."

Ye Bufan pulled out a 1.5-meter-long double-edged sword from the ring.

There are lines all over the thick sword body, which seems to have deep meaning.

The blade is dark gray with a restrained glow.

Instead, it gives people a sense of danger.

Ye Yanghu looked relieved.

With his vision, he can judge instantly.

This is a middle-grade spiritual weapon.

And the quality is quite excellent, top notch!
"Okay, okay, with this sword, victory is already yours!"

"That's natural, Jiang Xian is nothing to be afraid of, I will definitely kill him!

I also invested a lot of money in the gambling game. As long as I win the game, the amount I earn is enough for us father and son to go to brothels for ten years and order different women every day. "

The father and son looked at each other.

Haha great filial piety.

The room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
