"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Shi Wuqi shrugged, "But, I haven't seen it either."
"What is a half-demon?" Dai Luan asked them. "Is it a monster with only half the power of a demon?"
"To be precise, it is a child born between a human and a monster. I remember that the mountains and seas did not seem to support their love... When I was a child, I heard some love stories with monsters or gods, which were all told to me by my senior sisters.
I listened to it. I don’t feel anything about it now. I liked it very much at the time.”
After saying that, Mu Wan glanced at Shan Hai. Shan Hai didn't answer, but just took a sip of tea, showing no emotional ups and downs.
Mr. Jiyue said that half-demon does exist, but the number is very small, but it cannot be ignored, because they can easily become the center of events and cause trouble. In many people's perception, the children of monsters and humans will cause problems.
Curse - because this kind of love goes against the unwritten laws of the two worlds, is as forbidden as forbidden magic, and goes against the principles of yin and yang of the five elements.
Such a statement is not groundless, but what is even more difficult is the bloody reality. Generally speaking, there are many folk stories of people falling in love with monsters, but the stories that come and go are replicas of those sad and beautiful stories. If it makes you or
If your children and monsters are together, I'm afraid your loved ones will get heart attacks from anger. Not many of them live together. Some monsters can't overcome their bad natures and accidentally hurt their loved ones, or the two races are ideologically incompatible.
Conflicts will occur and life cannot go on. Generally speaking, once conflicts occur, humans, as a vulnerable group, will naturally suffer the loss.
Even so, there are a few who support each other and will not have children due to species differences. Those who are born also die early due to some physical problems. There are only a handful of survivors, and they face even more terrible things.
Test. Those parents often use the beautiful words "you are both a monster and a human" to comfort their children. In fact, for both worlds, they belong to neither monsters nor humans, and they will be treated as monsters no matter where they are.
.Growing up under the gaze of such strange eyes, even if they were not persecuted to death, how many of them grew up safely with normal minds?
"This is also the reason why I object... God knows how many parents have died because of those children. Love is a good thing, and it is necessary to be responsible for one's own feelings and actions. But... these pains could have been caused from the beginning
avoid."
"This time I support Shanhai." Shi Wuqi took the teapot and said, "If you can't support me, don't give birth. When you are born with a father's love and a mother's love, you are reluctant to die, but you are so moved. Whether you can escape or survive the persecution does not matter.
It’s a bunch of mess, I don’t know who to leave it to.”
Lord Jiyue and Lord Yeyue paid attention to him at the same time.
"Speaking of which, Utsuki-kun fell in love with a monster when he was still a shrine maiden." Hazuki-kun said.
Several people at the dinner table pricked up their ears, feeling that the words sounded familiar. Thinking about it carefully, wasn't that the story they heard an old man tell at the dinner table when they first arrived in Jiangyuan Town?
Shi Wuqi said that he could ask Mao Yuejun when he had the chance to see her again.
Dai Luan had already got off the dinner table, listening to their chat and playing in the room. She had noticed a quiver leaning against the bed, with more than a dozen thin swords in it. Gong didn't know.
When it fell sideways, she didn't see clearly and accidentally stepped on it. Dai Luan quickly squatted down, carefully picked it up, and wiped off the dust on it. This bow was very old, and it looked like it had been used for many years.
The weight of the wood is right and the texture is very strong.
"Is this something that belongs to Sister Hazuki?" she asked.
Ye Yuejun walked over, squatted down, and casually took the bow she held.
"It's mine. Do you want to try it?"
"I want to...but I definitely can't play now."
"I'll lend you a chance to open space."
Mu Wan had some concerns: "Isn't it inappropriate to touch the Six Paths of Impermanence magic weapon casually..."
"It's okay, it's just an ordinary bow and arrow. What's extraordinary is the owner of the bow and arrow." Jiyue Jun laughed, "Ye Yuejun can pierce the Yangtze with a hundred steps. Nothing that appears in her sight can escape her shooting skills. No matter how far away it is.
These, as long as she hears them, she can hit them."
Lord Jiyue praised Lord Yeyue as if she was boasting. She didn’t say anything, and just continued to introduce Dai Luan:
"This longbow is made of birch. It has aged and its elasticity is not very good."
"What are the tail feathers of arrows made of?" Dai Luan took out an arrow about two feet long and touched the tail feathers.
"Guess it?"
So she looked carefully. Dai Luan had actually seen not many birds. When she was a child, she spent every day at home, or in Ruyuejun's pharmacy, and she also learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting - although she couldn't remember many, anyway.
There are very few people who deal with weapons. So she guessed that the tail feathers of most bows and arrows are goose feathers or eagle feathers. The brown feathers have some patterns, and the Six Paths of Impermanence may use good things, so, probably...
"Yes, is it the feathers of an eagle or an eagle?"
"wrong."
"Is it a falcon?"
Although he didn't read it carefully, judging from the smell, Shi Wuqi already knew the answer.
"Aluan, think about it carefully, what is Ye Yuejun's title?"
"...What does this have to do with the title?"
"……forget it."
Ye Yuejun smiled again. She was a little cold when she wasn't smiling, but she became very beautiful when she smiled.
"Ahem, sister is very beautiful when she smiles."
"Why, isn't she usually pretty?" Lord Jiyue fanned the flames.
"No, she looks very beautiful when she smiles, so it's good to smile."
Ye Yuejun pursed her lips and suppressed her smile. She took out an arrow and said to her: "It's the hair of a wild goose."
"Oh - I thought it was... the swallow's swallow."
"A good boy, but a fool."
Mu Wan and Wu Qi shook their heads and gasped, making Ah Luan furious. Only Shan Hai smiled symbolically, turned around at random, and asked Lord Ji Yue seriously.
"Where are you going next?"
"Go to Taki Mansion at night."
"There should still be a government seal over there. Why don't you go there during the day? It's more convenient that way. You have Huang Quanling to prove your identity, and they won't stop you."
"Forget it. A case involving impermanence and human beings is already unusual enough. The appearance of two people at once might cause panic, but it's unnecessary. Besides, it's more convenient for us at night - I don't have to look at anything, Hazuki-kun.
, the ears and nose are much better than the eyes.”
"It seems like you guys are really busy. You haven't finished the last case, and you have to deal with other things right after."
"Anything that involves the Three Realms and Six Paths can easily cause changes. Before things get worse, the Lord knows everything and will let us solve them in advance. These trivial matters, whether they are small or small, are spread equally among the twelve people.
, too busy."
Mu Wan became a little curious: "So, does the Lord of Nai Luo Zhi know everything about the three realms and six realms just like Lord Gaoyue knows about human affairs?"
"Not necessarily. Each of us is good at divination and other things, and we do many things ourselves. Naturally, the underworld does not support idlers. If you don't do serious work, the lord will personally appoint you to do it.
For example, Lord Xueyue..."
"Don't mention him." Mu Wan rolled his eyes, "It's annoying to hear him."
"Did you take over the murder case in Long Mansion yourself?" she asked.
"Well, actually, that's what the adult meant... When we have the chance, we'll tell you slowly. It's getting late, we should leave for Taki Mansion."
The two said goodbye quickly, and Dai Luan was still a little reluctant to leave, but Ye Yuejun comforted her that they would meet again soon. As soon as the two left, Shi Wuqi teased her, saying that A Luan was really liked by the Impermanent Ghost, so why not think about it?
The method is to persuade Yingyue Lord and Xuyue Lord to behave well.
"You're thinking shit." Mu Wan and Aluan said at the same time.
The weather at the end of August had already cooled down, and they had not felt that kind of heat for a long time. What's more, it was much cooler at night than in the past. The four of them chatted casually, and the two girls took Miss Qi to rest together.
There was no one outside the Taki Mansion late at night. It would be better to say that during the day, this street was very quiet. No one dared to come. The big seal was still stuck on the front door. Jiyue-kun gently touched the upper two ends of the cross seal.
Then it fell off and hung weakly. Opening the door, he and Ye Yuejun walked into the yard with silent steps. Ye Yuejun took out a feather and blew it gently, and a bright flame ignited. With it, the two of them
People came to the main room.
Ye Yuejun held up the feather and gestured towards it. Wherever the light touched, there were mottled blood stains.
"The Yamen said that twenty-seven people died, but the smell of blood belonged to more people. However, they were not too heavy."
Ye Yuejun took two steps forward, carefully avoiding the blood stains, and answered him: "It should be the injured person. Your friends didn't mention the crime weapon today. Maybe they didn't ask about it, or... the Yamen didn't make it public."
"That's natural. It's so bizarre that no one would believe it."
At this time, Ye Yuejun suddenly discovered a dark substance on a piece of steamed and sticky blood. It was similar to the appearance of a piece of meat or cloth after it had been soaked in blood and dried. It was somewhat difficult to distinguish. She moved the light source closer.
some.
"Did you find anything?"
"Well" Mr. Ye Yue stretched out his hand, "It seems that they did not take away all the murder weapons."
As she said that, she carefully and slowly peeled off the indescribable thing. She carefully held one end of the strip, held it and the burning feather in her two hands, and pointed it at the still perfect thing outside the window.
moon.
Under the moonlight and firelight, the dark thing was glowing with blood.
"What is it?" Lord Jiyue asked her.
"It is indeed the murder weapon," she replied, "a bird feather."
To be more specific - it's the feathers of an egret.
