Chapter two hundred and forty-ninth: the sun and the moon are dim
Xue Miyin got a lot of money.
The crudely made sack contained real gold and silver. She took the money and felt it was heavy in her hands. She did not dare to shake it easily, for fear that there would be a hole in the bottom of the bag and the silver would flow out. Holding the bag, she looked towards the noisy crowd.
In the distance, on that street, there is a beautiful sedan chair, which looks like a carefully decorated fang.
A poor girl is about to be sent into a spacious courtyard. The courtyard door and walls are covered with scarlet silks and lanterns, like the night opening its bloody mouth. The firecrackers are like the excitement of cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle during the New Year.
The noisy gongs and drums, which were no different from the sound of chewing in advance, were ringing in her ears - even though they had long gone away.
"Why are you so dazed?" The friend poked her with his elbow, "Why don't you count?"
"Ah, I forgot."
Miyin lowered his head, opened the bag and took a look. The moonlight was very weak tonight, but these gold and silver were like a light source, enough to blind the eyes of many poor people.
"Should be no problem?"
"Maybe? You really don't care. Forget it, go find a bank to deposit it."
"It's so late. I wonder if the bank is closed."
"Just go and take a look and you'll find out."
The two of them walked side by side on the street without saying a word. They only stayed here for three days, but they made so much money. In fact, it was like this every time. They could always spend a short time in a new place.
Make a lot of money, then go to the next place to spend time, drink, enjoy life, and do the same thing again. These two are indeed good partners, at least in business, their cooperation is much more efficient than their separate actions. It's like
In recent days, she has not
It was just Mr. Yin Yang who pretended to be a fortune teller. He gave a fortune to a poor girl's family and told some shocking things in a confused way, so that he could marry his daughter off in a hurry. All the Demon Snake did was to find the girl.
,return
Her sweethearts each said something, which made them all happy. The girl and the boy were both young and energetic, and it would take a long time to get angry. Then the matchmaker from the employer took advantage of the situation, and this matter
The marriage is done.
How can this be considered immoral? There is no such thing as a first-come-first-serve relationship. If a poor poor girl marries a poor poor boy and has to take care of his seriously ill parents, she will never be happy. The young master from a rich family will never be happy with the girl.
Their affection is not inferior to that of those who cut firewood, otherwise why would they want to ask them for help. Although the reputation of these two people is not very loud in the world, when they go to a place, they always
They can first make their reputation as fortune tellers. People spread the word, and soon big customers will come to their door. They are like a theatrical troupe, attracting everyone's attention when they come, and becoming people's favorite after dinner.
It was a pastime and quickly forgotten. Miyin never felt that she was doing something noble. After all, they were also driven by profit, not to mention that the two of them had done more unethical things.
She knows that her words have power and can make most ordinary people believe them to be true. Even if they are just polished rhetoric, no one will verify it. People don't care about the truth or falsehood, they only care about how you speak nicely. Once they listen to your words
, it is much simpler to ask people to do something. As time goes by, more and more people are convinced of her statement. She has discovered that the more natural and confident she is when speaking, the more likely the listeners will be.
It will be easier to believe.
"Isn't this more money than you make playing music and singing?" Her friend said with a smile, "In comparison, I can't believe how I survived such hard days in the past."
"Well... I got through it anyway."
Having said this, Yaon gently touched the shamisen she was carrying on her shoulder. She almost never played the music seriously. The biggest use of this instrument is to attract passers-by to look at them when they first settle down in a place.
Here, her piano sound also has a special magic, no matter who it is, they will stop by her side.
. This was an ability she had never had in the past. She had realized that even the strings passing through her fingertips were endowed with demonic power. She remembered that she had deceived Ling Quan once - lying that the piano was Lord Shuangyue.
It was given to her. I don’t know if Ling Huan knows the truth now, but that is no longer important.
The important thing is... Amiao seems to have not appeared again for a long time.
It's not that Mi Yin has never thought about this. Except in front of the snow house in Wanren Mountain, Amiao ran out once for fun, and then... Mi Yin could feel that this weird little
The guy has not gone far, but it has indeed disappeared. It is probably staying in the piano and refusing to come out. Perhaps for A Miao, it is Mi Yin's friend, and of course Mi Yin has always thought so.
.It’s just that now, she has
A real, living, lost and found friend, so does Amiao feel that it is no longer necessary to accompany her? Or does it feel that it has lost its value? Miyin does not want it to think this way, and of course she will also treat this
Only a spiritual cat can be regarded as his companion, no matter what. It is not just a simple cat, nor a substitute for Miaomiao. If it is really losing its temper, Miyin should be given a chance to coax it.
However, Miaomiao doesn't like cats. It's not because of anything, but... the snake demon's instinct. She admitted this to Miyin frankly, and Miyin accepted it. This is a reasonable reason, and she shouldn't do it without reason.
Accusation. So the current situation is good for friends. Although snakes are fast, cats are faster than snakes. Even if a close friend is so powerful, he will still have such worries. This is normal... Miyin told herself,
Everyone's likes and dislikes should be respected.
"By the way," Miyin suddenly said, "Where should we go next?"
"It doesn't matter where you go. Why, don't you like such a life of no fixed abode?"
"No, of course not." Miyin shook his head repeatedly, "The comfortable life now is much better than the past when I had a place to live but was unhappy. Only occasionally, I also want to know where our feet are leading to and what exactly they are.
Where to go.”
Her best friend stopped, pursed her lips and smiled. She smiled very cutely, just like she did when she was a child. But now, she is patient and patient like an adult, teaching the younger generation carefully:
"Isn't Miyin still adapting to the life of becoming a monster? This is what real monsters are like. Only a very small number of inferior monsters who retain animal habits can maintain contact with the group. Powerful monsters call home all over the world, using the sky as their cover and the earth as their cover.
We are here, the sun, moon and stars are all the candles in the house. Independence is a sign of maturity, and freedom is a symbol of strength. Promise me not to have too many worries. As long as we are still together, we will no longer feel confused."
Xue Miyin wanted to say "ok", but something blocked her voice, so she could only open her mouth. So she nodded and agreed with the snake's words. They had been together for so long, she should have
You know, friends can do no wrong.
"So what are your plans?" Miyin couldn't help but ask her, "What do you want to do... or something."
"There is still a goal. I really want to get the Demonic Pestle. As you can see, although my magic is enough to protect myself now, I still can't do more. As the saying goes, there is a sky outside the sky. If you want to get a big deal in a short time,
To make progress, just practicing in seclusion is of no use. You know, I am a person who cannot bear loneliness."
After that, she took Miyin's arm and continued walking forward. There were no lights on the road, only faint starlight. But her vision at night had become better than before, and this light was enough for her to see the land under her feet.
.
"But, precisely because we are still far away...it is still difficult for us to obtain the magic weapon from that woman."
"Let's think of other ways." The snake said, "We are indeed not strong enough. Listen, it's so quiet tonight - but I just don't like silence. The snake part of my body tells me that silence means emptiness.
Nothing means hunger; the human part scares me more than snakes... It keeps reminding me of how I struggled in the deserted night in the valley many years ago.
I was also very hungry at that time, but fear is more terrible than hunger. People are not only
I am only afraid of death. I was very young at that time and was also afraid of the dark. It is only now that I feel better - because the snake part is the predator and the master of the night. But I still have not overcome the fear of silence, so I
I like to talk non-stop. Do you remember that at that time I would encourage everyone to find a way to live together? Because I was afraid that everyone would lose their desire for life and just wait quietly for death. I didn't like it. In fact, thinking like this, I was most afraid
I am the right one."
Xue Miyin has experienced these words firsthand very early on. She is honest enough to treat herself, and everything she tells is the truth. Even if there are lies mixed in, Miyin feels it is insignificant. To treat others, she will say a lot of very, very shocking things.
something.
"The Demonic Pestle can not only bring us strength," the friend continued, "it is a symbol. With it, we will have more say in the world. We are born in the world, a drop in the ocean, we have no choice, and now we should
It's our turn to make the decision."
"How?"
"With a magic weapon in hand, we have more authority. In many places, even if we do nothing, people and monsters will respect us. With it, the things I can provoke are not limited to people...
It can also be between city and city, country and country, race and race. When individuals rise to the level of a group, quarrels will become wars." The demon snake clapped its hands and said,
He said cheerfully, "I like war - there are loud voices, weapons clashing, and artillery fire roaring. Every moment is like a New Year. War makes everything fall apart, but it doesn't matter. Even if the earth is riddled with holes, don't underestimate it.
It has the power of self-healing. Isn’t it said in Taoism that Tai Chi gives birth to two yangs, two yangs give birth to four images, four images give birth to Bagua, and Bagua gives rise to all things?”
That seems to be the case...it doesn't seem to be the case.
"It sounds a bit scary," Miyin paused, then added, "But it doesn't seem to be bad."
"Really? As long as we have the ability to live long enough, we can witness the world becoming more prosperous."
"Ramble like a lunatic."
"who?!"
The voice of a third person suddenly broke into this wild idea. The two stopped and found an uninvited guest in the middle of the road. The snake stared at the obstacle angrily. But when she saw clearly who was in front of her
After that, she showed a look of surprise and confusion. Mi Yin was the same, but more of the latter. She asked:
"Is it you? How did you find us? What...are you doing here again?"
But the friend was eager to try: "You really came to my door. We just talked about you."
"It's easy to find you, but I don't want to fight and kill you when we meet."
Wei Donglin's eyes were still cold, perhaps because of the ice mask. The snake tilted its head and asked:
"That may not be up to you. But, what are you doing here? Chat?"
"Talk about business." Wei Donglin replied calmly, "And... create a war - not with you."
