But is that really the case?
Xiao Qiuyu has always been a riddle, and her relationship with the organization is still unclear.
Chenlu has other ambitions, and the story she tells may not be without concealment.
The only thing that is certain is that the monster race has not completely disappeared from Dongzhou today after a thousand years, so how have the monster race and humans coexisted for thousands of years?
I came into contact with Wen Gongyu, the lark demon. The monster race lived a miserable life. They had to hide their identities and live among humans, and they even risked being persecuted to death.
I got in touch with Suzaku Ayan. Under the conspiracy back then, there are still monster clans with certain strength, which may bring instability to this place at any time.
I got in touch with the fox demon Lai Laizi. She came from the Far East and has people there. She knows a lot about human society, but she doesn't know that she should hide her identity as a monster in Dongzhou.
Wen Gongyu sticks to one side, in order to obtain food and clothing for the Yaozu.
A Yan is free and easy, in order to retrieve his memory.
And the purpose of this Lai Lai Zi...
Her purpose seems to have been said before, to find some kind of fox temple...and...she needs "believers".
Thinking, thinking, Hang Yanling set his sights on this little fox.
Now that I have no way to keep the Yaozu affairs out of the way, I have to do enough understanding in advance and have a judgment on the current situation. After all, only when I fully understand the surrounding environment will it be easier to escape.
"Little fox, I want to ask you something."
"I said I won't be a traitor, so don't try to harm me!"
"Your attitude towards the demon clan is very different from that dog demon."
Hang Yanling propped his face and looked at this foreign fox: "It seems that even the monster races have different views on other monster races - I think what the dog monster just said is very reasonable, wolves eat sheep, Cats eat mice, this kind of thing won't change just because you can become a human?"
"What are you listening to him talking about?"
Lai Laizi curled up her tail, sat down on her own tail, and said angrily: "That's unreasonable, if we still have the same thoughts as when we were animals, then we will become monsters." Does it make no sense?"
"That's right, some animals with spiritual intelligence choose to become spirit beasts, and they can still live well, while some become monster races, and cultivate to look like humans... Do monster races yearn to become human beings so much?"
"Longing? Don't get me wrong, it's not that you begged us to transform into a human!"
Lai Laizi hugged her shoulders and curled her lips helplessly: "Although the human body is indeed very convenient, isn't it for better communication with you humans?"
"Human...begging?"
This is another new statement.
Judging from the helpless expression of the little fox, this sentence is indeed exaggerated, but the little fox seems to think so.
"I'm really curious, how can humans and monsters who are incompatible with water and fire beg each other?"
"It was originally."
"Can you tell me in detail? Let me understand where I went wrong."
"Hmph, this..."
"I'll give you ten taels of silver."
"Hey, deal!"
The little fox also opened his eyes when he saw money, and when he saw Hang Yanling touch out the white silver, his pink eyes immediately shone.
She put the money back and forth in both hands as if she was holding a piece of hot taro, and then Lai Laizi solemnly put the money into her bag and coughed.
"Originally, it's because your human strength is too weak, and many of you don't have the qualifications for cultivation. Many times, some of our unintentional actions seem to be fuss-worthy in the eyes of humans. Some smart people give us in the name of offering Offer fruit, or the meat of small animals."
"Oh? Humans and monsters, there is still this history?"
"Hmph, when there were not so many human cities, but we helped human beings stay away from dangerous swamps, treated them, and sheltered them. Admit."
Lai Laizi pressed the money on her chest through her clothes, and sat on the bed, her upper body leaning against the wall, her eyes narrowed.
It's like reminiscing about the past time.
"Later, we no longer gave us tributes, and the ancestral hall was also smashed for us. Really, human beings have always been good at reneging on debts."
"Repudiation? I heard you said that it is both a ancestral hall and a tribute. Is this more like a certain kind of belief? How do you say it looks like a transaction."
"Huh? Is there anything strange about this?"
Lai Laizi blinked a little bit not understanding what Hang Yanling was talking about: "Faith and trading are the same thing, right?"
"……Eh?"
"You see, human beings believe in us and make offerings to us. And we provide protection to human beings so that they can be bought and sold. It's fair to fight and suffer."
"Well...you can say that..."
Hang Yanling scratched his face subtly: "How should I put it, judging from Dongzhou today, it's hard to imagine the kind of thing you said."
"Then when you have a chance, go to my hometown and have a look."
Lai Laizi mentioned her hometown, holding her shoulders confidently: "I still have a shrine in our hometown!"
"Land of the Far East... Listen to what you said, over there, humans and monsters get along in this way?"
"Well, but we don't completely count on humans to send us food all day long."
Lai Laizi crossed her legs and introduced her hometown to Hang Yanling: "My sisters and I are usually responsible for taking care of the homeless children and seeing patients nearby. When we are free, we take care of ourselves. Poultry, grow something. After all, the children have to eat, and the tribute offered by everyone is only enough for nine of us sisters to eat."
"You said that the persimmons you brought to sell were cheated, and you planted them yourself? Why did you come all the way to Dongzhou to sell them?"
The distance between the Far East and Dongzhou is quite far. There is a sea across it, and it takes half a week to swim.
"Selling persimmons is secondary. This is just something my sisters gave me to pad my stomach and exchange for travel expenses on the road... The main thing is to see if there is any other way to get some money to take back."
The money-greedy little fox had a bitter melon-like color on his face when he said this.
"There are too many adopted children, it costs money to expand the shrine, and it costs money to dress and feed the children. Although everyone in the Far East treats us kindly, they are really poor...so I wondered if I could come back and find Is there anyone who enshrines the Fox Temple? Ask them for some money to go back... Alas, because of this matter, I even got into a fight with my eldest sister. The two guys Chu Yang and Tu Zhi laughed at my stupidity again. I was so angry that I ran out by myself.”
"...To put it simply, the main purpose of your coming back is to ask for food?"
"Why do you say it's so ugly! It's an offering!"
Lailaizi blushed, and pinched her fingers: "Besides, I also earn money by myself... Look, I just earned ten taels of silver from you..."
These words made Hang Yanling amused.
But she quickly asked again: "So - the fox temples you mentioned are dedicated to you before you left Dongzhou?"
"Ah... not."
Lai Laizi dragged out her tone and shook her head: "We are all just little fox demons. The fox temple enshrines a big monster. It's a pity that she is dead. I just want to be in her light. It's just a fox pretending to be a fox."
"I see."
Hang Yanling nodded when he heard the words, reached into his sleeve and took out two pieces of silver and put them on the bed.
"Look, this is 20 taels."
"Huh? Do you want to give it to me? Thanks——"
Lai Laizi was about to reach out to pick up the silver, but Hang Yanling slapped the silver, raised her head and said to Lai Laizi with a smile: "I want to ask you, why did you go to the Far East? land?"
"..."
"Ah, you can lie, no matter what you answer me, you can take the 20 taels of silver from me with peace of mind."
"Then I still won't take it."
Lai Laizi withdrew her hand, and said unhappily: "What are you going to do with those heart-warming things before, it's boring."
"Okay, my fault, then I'll change the question."
Seeing that the little fox was unwilling to mention the past, Hang Yanling changed the subject: "Since you came here to ask for money and you know my identity, then you took the initiative to come over and be my bodyguard. It must be for money. But you insist on letting me believe in you...as if this matter is very urgent for you. I want to ask you—why do you do this? Or...belief in such things is very important for the Yaozu Is there any meaning other than offerings?"
"Yes, but I don't want to tell you."
"Well, it seems that you have no fate with the 20 taels of silver."
Lai Laizi's fox eyes whirled, seeing that Hang Yanling wanted to take back the 20 taels of silver in disappointment, she quickly held Hang Yanling's wrist with both hands.
"Wait, it's fine if you really want to know, but you have to promise me one condition."
"What conditions?"
"You have to believe in me and become my believer."
"Yo, okay. How to do it? Have to sign a contract with you or something?"
"You promised so quickly this time."
Lai Laizi exclaimed, but seeing Hang Yanling agreeing, she naturally refused to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She raised her palm and bit her index finger, stretched out the bloody finger towards Hang Yanling, and flipped over with the other hand. With the palm of Kaihang Yanling's palm, he pressed Xue's fingerprints on Hang Yanling's palm.
"Hey, this way you won't be able to run away, and I won't worry about you betraying me."
Lai Laizi withdrew her hand triumphantly: "Although our demon clan grew up by absorbing the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth, how can there be so much real energy and spiritual energy to absorb in the age when spiritual sources are scarce? , A wise man among the demon clan discovered a way, that is to let human beings believe in us, help them do good deeds, and build ancestral halls and temples for us."
"Is there any point in this? Except that it will give you enough tribute to feed yourself."
"The more human beings who believe in us, the more power we can draw from under this land in this land. We can take the richness of the land occupied by humans as our own, so that we can become more powerful." powerful."
Lai Laizi grinned: "Don't worry, I'm a very loose and wise big fox, and you happen to be... wait, what are you doing?"
Seeing Hang Yanling rubbing the red marks on his clothes slowly, Lai Laizi yelled in astonishment: "Eh!? You are human, why can't I feel the power of any earth veins flowing in... Wait, Are you dishonest?"
"It has nothing to do with sincerity, it's just because it's unfortunate..."
Hang Yanling raised her left hand with a smile.
"Actually, I'm also a monster."
Chapter 30 already?
"Cunning! Lie to the fox! Play tricks!"
The believer who got it suddenly flew away and became his own competitor.
The little fox, Lailaizi, was in a state of mental collapse, her two big eyes were tearful, and she kept beating the bed with her small fists.
Hang Yanling blinked innocently: "I'm sorry, can I apologize to you?"
"You pay my believers! It's hard for me to have one!"
"Stop crying, the 20 taels of silver will be given to you as agreed, and I will treat it as compensation for your crime, okay? How about I give you an extra ten taels of silver?"
"……it is good."
The little fox who was already crying when he heard the money, immediately stopped crying, and took the ten taels of silver she had just taken out from Hang Yanling's hands swiftly, as if he was sad just now. It's totally deceptive.
Hang Yanling looked at Lai Laizi's money-lovers who couldn't put it down holding the silver, and asked curiously: "Is human belief really so important to your monster race? Even if there is a lack of spiritual resources, the monster race can rely on Can you carry out ordinary cultivation with your own strength?"
"Why did you become 'you monster clan' again? Are you a monster clan?"
The little fox looked at Hang Yanling reproachfully: "Why do you feel that your words are worse than that of a vixen like me?"
"Ah...hahahaha..."
Hang Yanling scratched her head in embarrassment: "I'm from Nanzhou, and we don't use the name Yaozu here."
"Oh~~"
Lai Laizi stared at Hang Yanling suspiciously for a while, then noticed A Yan who had been dazed and unable to get into the topic, hesitated for a while, still holding his chin, and muttered with some helplessness and dissatisfaction: "Anyway, Dongzhou, either plunder from humans, or exchange faith for the opportunity to seize power from the leylines... Who let the current owners of the leylines be their humans?"
"……I see."
"However, if you are really a monster...then you are amazing."
Lai Laizi made a tsk-tsk sound, and looked at Hang Yanling with admiration: "No wonder you are so strong. It is unheard of for a monster race to be called a saint in Dongzhou."
Hang Yanling laughed helplessly when he heard the words: "It's said to be a saint, but my fans... most of my believers are concentrated in Nanzhou, so I'm afraid it won't have any impact on this place."
"Well, is that why they ordered to kill you? A demon clan called a saint should pose a great threat to the imperial capital."
Lai Laizi bit her finger: "Damn it, if you said you were a monster earlier, I wouldn't do anything to you."
"Haha, it shouldn't be..."
Having said that, Hang Yanling suddenly paused.
……
……
Wait, really isn't it?
