Hang Yanling plucked the flowers from his forehead and threw them on the ground, rolled up his sleeves cursingly: "Could it be possible that you, kid, have discovered that I am a monster a long time ago, and specially amuse your aunt?!"

"No... It's just that what you just said is too unbelievable... I can distinguish the same race just by smell... I can't do these things, and I haven't heard of them."

Wen Gongyu shook his head in a hurry: "What's more, you were invited by Taoist people, and they all said that you are a saint certified by the Dao of Heaven, and a monster race is recognized as a saint by human beings. This kind of thing is simply unimaginable..."

"You mean Hua Fu lied to me?"

Hang Yanling rubbed her temples, feeling a little headache.

Hua Fu has no reason to do so.When they met at Hua's house, she almost insisted that Hang Yanling was a tree demon, that's why she asked Hang Yanling to deliver the letter.

Wen Gongyu looked at Hang Yanling for a long time, then nodded: "You know my original demon body, so it was naturally Hua Fu who told you... I thought Hua Fu believed you because you were a sage, but think about it carefully, you The probability of being a demon race may be higher. And Huafu probably didn't lie to you."

"Then why can't you smell it?"

"The monster race is actually a very broad name... It is the human race's name for all other races. Different races have their own specialties. The flower flower may not be lying to you. The rose flower demon can use the fragrance of flowers as a weapon. Yes. Odor sensitivity is also normal."

"So, you are a lark monster, and the one that flew away just now is a crow monster, you two birds can't smell it, can you?"

"Yes, it is actually very troublesome to distinguish the same race. Even as a demon race, it is difficult for me to recognize who is a human and who is a demon at a glance. Fortunately, I have accumulated a little experience over the years...but you are indeed beyond me. expectations."

After Wen Gongyu finished speaking, he let out a sigh of relief: "Since you are a monster, it's okay for me to tell you. You are also a descendant from the end of the world, and you who have lived in the human world for a long time must have your own sufferings and struggles. What Andu Town has been busy these years is nothing else, just helping the creatures on this land to survive well, that's all."

"You...are you really here as a parent officer?"

"Yes, I want to open up a peaceful land and protect one side."

Wen Gongyu sat on a chair, faced Hang Yanna face to face, and said slowly: "By the way, how do you think I got my human identity?"

"Isn't it by killing people and taking homes for another day?"

"Wrong, it was given by others."

"Who?"

"The person who gave me this identity and this name is none other than 'Wen Gongyu' from the previous generation."

"...The last generation, what do you mean?"

Hang Yanling asked curiously.

---------------------------

In fact, the name Wen Gongyu has been inherited by two people.

In other words, a person, a monster.

It's different from the vengeful spirit of the Zhou family who wants to accumulate his obsessions and long-cherished wishes to the next generation.

The first "Wen Gongyu" was just an ordinary human being.

His parents are migrants from Nanzhou, and they have ancestral cultivation methods, so Wen Gongyu also has a certain degree of cultivation qualifications and works hard. Although he has not entered a Taoist temple, he has a legal quota for cultivation.

Of course, Wen Gongyu didn't know at that time that his parents were evil cultivators from Nanzhou, and what he was practicing was an evil method.

It is an evil method to control corpses and spirits.

But spells cannot determine a person's value. Wen Gongyu's parents were once traitors of a certain "organization". They came to Nanzhou with their long-cherished wish of finding a stable place to live.

The child inherited that spell, but did not do anything to harm the law of heaven.

It's nothing more than not cultivating quickly enough. Compared with cultivating, the first generation Wen Gongyu is more concerned with reading and literacy.

At that time, Andu Town was not that big, it could even be said to be just a small town among the three big villages. Although it was guarded by Nanzhou officials, its influence could not match the local indigenous clans.

Through studying hard, Wen Gongyu got the honor and was conferred an official position. He came to Andu Town and served as the mayor of the town.

As his parents expected, he grew up like an ordinary person, got someone he liked, and finally got married and went to the bridal chamber.

But on the day of the big wedding, the person I like disappeared without a trace.

It was only later that Wen Gongyu learned that his bride was a monster, and had been "disposed" by Xiu Yi Zhizhi secretly.

This incident dealt a great blow to Wen Gongyu.

Because he was excluded by Dongzhou people since he was a child, he couldn't understand Dongzhou people's hatred for Yaozu, nor could he understand why a Yaozu who had done nothing wrong should be executed.

Such a situation will only make him feel unfair, and he himself is also a "heterogeneous" who secretly practiced evil methods.

So, he used his authority and connections to find his wife's body and tried to resurrect her.

Bind the soul and stuff the corpse.

It was the first time that evil methods were used in evil ways, and it failed without a doubt.

After that, Wen Gongyu has been secretly looking for the bodies of the dying people in the town, trying to improve his way of resurrection.

However, unlike Qi Zijin, Wen Gongyu soon understood that what he really wanted to do was not to resurrect the dead, but to find an answer to a question in his heart.

"Why should she die?"

My love for my wife is an ordinary love, the two of us have never lived together, have no children, and even falling in love is just a faint goodwill accumulated in the step-by-step blind date.

What supports Wen Gongyu's actions is not his obsession with his wife, but his own confusion.

"Why?"

Wen Gongyu seems to have inherited a certain will from his parents. He wants to figure out why a person who has done nothing wrong is hostile.

So, through various means, he learned about the past grievances between Dongzhou and Yaozu.

Learned about the bloody slaughter recorded in the shadow of history books.

But he still couldn't understand.

"Those things at the beginning were nothing more than human beings and the monster race fighting for their own survival. Why do the monster race have to endure such things today?"

The monster race is different from human beings, they don't have the so-called "debt"

It may have been lion monsters, wolf monsters, and tiger monsters who fought with humans back then.

And my wife is just a little flower demon, why should I bear the crimes of other monsters?

Knowing the history only exacerbated the confusion in his heart.

Since the reasoning doesn't make sense, and since the facts are different from the books I've read in school, it means that it's not my wife who is wrong, but the current Dongzhou.

The sages recorded in Taoist temples would not consider their wives guilty, and the sages recorded in scrolls would not consider their wives guilty.

It is the Dongzhou people who are wrong today, the law is wrong, and the emperor of the dynasty is wrong.

This kind of logic may sound absurd, but Wen Gongyu thinks so.

Especially when Wen Gongyu's parents were still rejoicing that they finally had a safe place for the rest of their lives before dying on the sick bed.

"Change this absurdity" has become Wen Gongyu's creed for living.

So, he began to use his authority to help and contact those other monster races and understand their living environment.

However, the monster race carefully hides in the shadow of human society. In order to survive, they carefully put away their teeth, ears, and tails, imitating every word and deed of human beings.How could they open up to Wen Gongyu.

Then, Wen Gongyu finally had the opportunity to take in a monster clan.

A harpy that escaped from an auction.

Coincidentally, the bird demon's sweetheart is also a flower demon.

This may be fate.

Or maybe it's God's affirmation of my hard work.

Wen Gongyu began to take care of the bird demon, and taught him the magic that he had mastered.

Discuss your puzzles with him, and share your work with him.

With this bird demon, gradually, the monsters in Andu Town and the surrounding villages have the intention to believe in Wen Gongyu... come to ask him for help.

Either ask Wen Gongyu to help divert Xiu Yi Zhizhi's pursuit, or be seriously injured by the monster hunting team and have nowhere to go.

Wen Gongyu gradually got to know the monster race hidden among the human beings, observed them, understood them, and answered the doubts in his heart.

And the bird demon gradually regarded Wen Gongyu as his teacher.

He was almost hunted by humans and once lost his trust in humans, but because of Wen Gongyu, an alien among humans, he tried to believe again.

after that.

When Wen Gongyu was 36 years old, he was seriously injured by the Yaozu he had helped.

Not all the Yaozu are kind, and some of them will vent their dissatisfaction on humans for the hardships of life today.

Even humans who are willing to treat them well.

While Wen Gongyu was dying, he still hadn't solved the biggest question in his life.

So, he entrusted the bird demon around him.

Entrust the bird demon named "Yu" to inherit his name, appearance, and identity.

Go ask this Eastern State, ask this world.

"Why?"

——————————————————————————————

"Since I took over his role, I have been taking care of this Andu Town. I have learned from him how to deal with official documents, and I also know how to deal with superiors - I have seen him do this with my own eyes, and I have adapted to his role very quickly. .I found the monster who killed the previous generation Wen Gongyu, and asked him why...but he was called a 'monster' by that person, and he seriously injured me and almost lost his life."

"What happened later? He ran away?"

"No. Anyway, I am also the mayor. I attacked the imperial court officer twice. Of course, the monster was found by Xiu Yi Zhizhi and killed. And because of that incident, I also bear the same demon as the previous generation Wen Gongyu—" Why'."

Wen Gongyu knocked himself on the head: "Why did he kill the previous generation, he obviously helped him so much. Why did he kill me, obviously I was just thanking my benefactor, my teacher."

"call……"

"After recovering, I still managed the land well according to the teacher's practice, and secretly helped the monster race hide their identities... At the same time, I thought, maybe as long as human beings live a better life, their attitude towards the monster race around them will change." Be friendly, so I try my best to maintain the stability here. Public order, economy, food... all kinds of things, no matter how big or small, this is what I have been busy with-as you just said that I am here to kill people, refine corpses, seal Soul... I have never done any of these things."

"Oh really?"

"Even if there is an existence that threatens the stability of this place, I will only use other people's hands. If humans break the law, I will let the soldiers deal with it according to law. Or the hands of the monster hunting team, get rid of them. I want to create a place where monsters can live freely, a town where humans can coexist... I don’t want to take sides on either side.”

After all, Wen Gongyu laughed: "Of course, in the eyes of other monsters, it's not surprising that my thoughts are called 'monsters'. After all, I used human hands to get rid of my compatriots."

"..."

"My life was almost taken away by humans, and it was also given by humans. I can't completely trust humans, but I will not sit by and watch them slaughter my kin, or be slaughtered by my kin."

Looking at Wen Gongyu now, Hang Yanling actually believed his words.

Although in his previous life he did witness the scene where Wen Gongyu sealed his soul, and was hunted down because of it.

But that's what happens in the "future".

At this point in time, Wen Gongyu may really have the qualifications to say this...

"Then why did that old crow come to you? It sounds like you are doing some good deeds. He is not here to support you for charity, is he?"

"Didn't I just say that the monster who killed the previous generation Wen Gongyu also seriously injured me? The one who saved me was an 'organization'. There are monsters, humans, and other things. ..."

"The old crow belongs to that organization?"

"Correct."

Wen Gongyu nodded: "A few months before you came, he suddenly sent me a secret letter, asking me to organize a 'favor'. After that, more and more people revealed that I was usually protecting the monster race. , to deal with the thugs, some letters that if submitted to Xiuyi Zhizhi, all my efforts will be in vain."

"..."

"They are so powerful that they can even influence the embroidered garments...that is the army commanded by the emperor himself and supervise all the officials...but they can get it and disturb my cleanliness every now and then. As the letters came in more often, those embroidered dresses became more and more annoying."

"Since they did this, it means you didn't agree to that 'favor', right?"

"Yes, because it is very dangerous. If you are not careful, Andu Town will be destroyed forever. I don't want to let down the efforts of my predecessors and me."

"What does that blood-eyed old crow want you to do?"

"assassinate."

"what??"

"As the mayor of this place, I am also a nominal sheriff. At the end of each year, I have the opportunity to meet the Holy Majesty... They hope that I will assassinate at that time."

"He's at the Jindan stage, why would you want you to assassinate at the late Condensation Stage?"

"Go for the assassination and fail, and then let the Nanzhou Dynasty know that I, the mayor of Andu Town, am a monster."

Wen Gongyu sneered: "As for his purpose, I don't think I'll say much, you should know it, right?"
