"Is the nine-tailed demon fox rare?" Mu Yi continued to be confused, "There are quite a few cats over there who can cultivate to nine tails!"
"Can I be the same as the cat demon?!"
Tu Shanyue hit Mu Yu's mask with a bang, causing her jaw to feel numb from the shock.
"It's different, it's different! The fox demon is very powerful!!!"
At least he hit her hard! It was really powerful!
Covering her head, she almost crawled on the ground and quickly distanced herself from him. Mu Yi's weak posture really made Tu Shanyue wonder how she came to Haiguo.
Judging from the calluses on his palms, he shouldn't be a delicate person, and even from the area closest to the sea country in the spiritual world, it would take quite a while to get here.
This guy's survivability seems to be so weak. Do you have any common sense as to how he managed to get here safely in the waters near Haiguo?!
"The nine-tailed demon fox clan is originally the ancient demon clan of your spirit continent. Only a very small number of pure-blood demon clan can cultivate to this point!"
"You are a pure-blood demon...I can still tell..."
Mu Yi sat pitifully on the lawn far away, and the Zashiki boy above his head was also frightened and motionless by the terrifying evil spirit emanating from Tu Shanyue.
"What about you? The breath is very strange, I haven't seen it before!"
The human race in the Sea Kingdom was all wiped out in that world-destroying disaster. There is no tradition of mixing demons and humans here, so all the people living here are pure-blood demons.
Not all pure-blooded demons are very powerful. The truly powerful demons depend on the purity of their bloodline, on the one hand, and on the other, the race to which the demonic bloodline belongs.
Some demon clans with strong racial advantages can still exert very strong strength even if they are not pure blood.
And some demon clans whose races are very lowly themselves, even if they are pure blood, are often still the lowest group in the demon clan society in the spiritual world, and they are not much different from half-demon clans.
Tu Shanyue had never seen a half-demon before, so she naturally didn't know what kind of demon Mu Ji was. However, her aura was very special, and her true identity was beyond the scope of recognition, so it was impossible to judge for a while.
"Me?" Pointing to himself, Mu Yi thought he was talking about someone else.
Mu Yi was not good at hiding her aura outside in the past, but most non-pure-blood demons also found it difficult to see through her half-demon bloodline.
But Tu Shanyue is a serious pure-blood demon, how could such a strong man not see her bloodline?
"Isn't it you or who?!" Tu Shanyue was completely offended. How could this woman be so stupid!
He just has no common sense, and he pretends to be stupid over and over again, making it seem like he is the ignorant one!
"I am a half-demon! I am a demon with some human blood in my body!"
Mu Yi answered his question without hesitation, while Tu Shanyue was very surprised.
"Half-demon? Are you a hybrid of human and demon?!"
"Yes, don't you have any here?"
Mu Yi suddenly remembered that it seemed that he had not seen the half-demon clan all the way here.
Although not all demon clans are big families... half-demon clans are still widely distributed in the spiritual world!
"You...your country of the sea...couldn't it be that there is no precedent for humans and demons to mix blood?!"
Both Mu Yi and Tu Shanyue seemed to have a different understanding of the demon clan, but this time Tu Shanyue was more interested.
"When the human race still dominated the land of the sea country... they lived in peace with the monster race, but the two races followed the principle of non-intermarriage and non-interference. What's going on with you Linglu?!"
"We...the demon tribes in various places in the spirit world in the early years were all domestic animals raised by the human race. They used high-end technology and absolutely powerful force to dominate and curb the development of the demon tribe..."
Tu Shanyue felt that she didn't get to the point at all, so she continued to ask——
"Then how did the first batch of half-demon come to be born? As you said, the demon race should be insignificant ants in the eyes of the human race!"
Mu Ji sighed, and a wry smile appeared on his lips.
"When a civilization reaches its peak, both materially and spiritually, what do you think they want to pursue most in such a splendid era?"
After a moment of hesitation, Tu Shanyue suddenly woke up, with a trace of fear in his eyes.
"You...you mean...the reason why humans and demons intermarry...is because..."
"In order to have a longer lifespan and a healthy and strong body," Mu Yi did not show much sadness, but just felt it was simply ironic, "They continue to force pure-blood demon women with low bloodline to marry with them. The first half-demon was violent because of
Most of the bloodline conflicts will die young, and those who survive will continue to combine with the human race, and they are just reproductive tools no different from pigs."
Tu Shanyue even felt nauseous. It was clear that a civilization that had reached its peak would do such a cruel and unreasonable thing.
"I thought that those half-demon who inherited their bloodline, possessing the wisdom of humans and the bodies of demons at the same time, would become more powerful and dominate the entire spiritual world after they died. I'm afraid those humans didn't expect it either..."
Tu Shanyue stopped talking. He naturally thought of the world-destroying disaster in which all the human race disappeared, and a large part of the very powerful demon race also disappeared. The remaining demon race became the masters of the spiritual world again.
"After the disappearance of the human race, all the demon clans regarded the half-demon as the target of bullying and revenge. The civilization left by the human race also disappeared along with the disaster. The civilization regressed and strength became the most important bargaining chip. After that, for thousands of years, the half-demon has been
They are existences that are even more despicable than animals..."
Mu Yi also lamented more and more how great Qiandui's ancestors were. The barrier between the human race and the monster race was like a natural chasm. But even so, through their efforts, they finally established a paradise without distinction and discrimination on a small piece of land.
It's just that there was no place like this before...and I'm afraid there won't be again...in the future.
Except for Qiandian, there are almost no countries in the spiritual world where half-demon can have a voice. And now that Qiandian has destroyed the country, who can you expect to speak for the half-demon who are still in dire straits?
Even though she could only gather some helpless half-demon children and use all her savings and resources to create an environment where they could have enough food and clothing, she could not eliminate the demon clan's lustful gaze on them.
"I...did I ask about your sadness..."
Mu Yi's eyes were particularly sad, even tainted with a hint of despair, which made Tu Shanyue, who had been so confident just now, feel greatly guilty.
"No! Don't worry about it! It's all destined to happen anyway, and I don't have the ability to change it. All I can do is be decadent!"
Instantly returning to her careless look, she held Tu Shanyue's hand and walked into the candlelit hall facing the moonlight. This was the place where Tu Shanyue practiced dancing, and she recognized it.
In the past, Teacher Teijie also tutored her in movements in a room like this, so she is very familiar with it!
"Then I will perform a few moves first, and you can watch and understand the charm of Haiguo dance!"
Tu Shanyue is very passionate about Haiguo's dance. For him, it is not just a tool to make a living, but a career that can be remembered for a lifetime.
The man was dressed in delicate and gorgeous clothes, and his face under the candlelight was stained with sadness and admiration, as well as a hint of indescribable obsession.
He raised his hand, and the beady singing voice fell like moonlight on Mu Yun's mind, and was then substituted into the artistic conception of the lyrics——
"There is no trace of the fairy in the world of mortals. Is it just a dream?"
As soon as the first sentence came out, Mu Ji seemed to be standing in front of a misty and illusory fairyland, wanting to reach out and touch this fragile beauty, but the next second it turned into clouds and smoke——
She remembered this melody! The singing tune that was popular when the human race was prosperous, the story was also taken from the early dynasties of the human race! However, this singing tune was also lost with the disappearance of the human race, and Teacher Dijiang only occasionally hummed fragments.
Although the old man still remembers the whole song, he has lived too long and cannot remember everything.
Mu Yi liked this singing tune very much at the time, and after pestering Di Jiang for a long time, he finally learned it! He didn't expect that Haiguo also had such a heritage!
The next silent performance should be the story of a noble concubine played by Tu Shanyue who went through twists and turns and was finally framed by a sergeant in the court, and was personally ordered to hang herself by the king she served.
But Tu Shanyue is a villain after all, so one person shouldn't be able to play the role of a tragic king, right?
Mu Yi thought for a while. Although he couldn't bear to disturb Tu Shanyue's performance, he also wanted to make this scene fuller.
Finally, she stepped forward and stepped on the steps.
"Ask the sky! Where is the beauty?! Looking for the shadow of the fragrant soul——"
She turned her back to Tu Shanyue, like a fateful mandarin duck separated from each other in the turmoil of the world. She searched everywhere, but could never find the figure of her beloved.
Tu Shanyue was slightly startled, wondering how Mu Yi knew this ancient singing tune, when she suddenly knelt down and clutched her chest sadly, her voice full of regret and resentment!
"I am carrying the emperor's destiny! But the destiny cannot be violated! The country is in ruins! The beautiful lady dies because of betraying her heart!"
She vividly performed the grief and struggle of the king. Tu Shanyue was also brewing emotions, but was inevitably shocked the moment Mu Yu turned around.
The woman was wearing a mask, and her expression was clearly invisible. She knelt down heavily and extended her palms to Tu Shanyue, as if that beautiful shadow was the bright moonlight that she had been chasing all her life.
"When people stand in the vastness, they will fall in love with you at a glance!"
Tu Shanyue did not expect that Mu Yi, who seemed to be an amateur, could actually perform such accurate emotions and movements, which shocked him——
The demon clan did not give this story a plain and sad ending like the human clan's storytelling. Instead, they gave this pair of lovers who passed each other a happy ending with a beauty that was not illusory to them.
Tu Shanyue could only continue to perform according to the lyrics and script——
He took a step forward and walked around the hesitant and painful "king" several times. The confusion and hesitation on his face revealed his stunning softness and grace when he met Mu Ji again.
"But inside the misty waves, there is a fairy palace in the mist, and ordinary people and dusty girls can meet~~"
Mu Yi stared at Tu Shanyue's gentle and easily deceptive face. For a moment, it seemed that it was difficult to break away from this performance.
If the imperial concubine is really such a graceful and graceful beauty, and she is the king who was forced into a desperate situation by the rebellious ministers and traitors, I am afraid that she would be willing to die with the person in front of her!
"Penglai is full of exquisite pavilions, and our fate will continue to shine in the next life~"
This is a female singer's monologue to the audience. To the empty auditorium, Tu Shanyue expresses the joy in the heart of the imperial concubine with great emotion. There is no resentment towards her husband, and some are just crying for joy at the reunion.
You can even feel the disbelief in his slightly trembling voice, and he is extremely grateful for this opportunity given by Wonderland.
There is also a vague determination not to miss this time again, nor to miss any more moments with her husband.
"Following the jade seal, riding on the moonlight, with a heavy heart, the clouds will shine brightly and disappear!"
The two stood side by side in the fairy palace, melancholy recalling the heartbreaking past——
"The golden tower and the jade are respected, the country breaks into the forbidden area, and thousands of armies force me to fall into my heart! I have made mistakes in my past life, and I will never recover in this life, so I will never be shy!"
The "royal concubine" looked at her "king" with tears in her eyes. There was no secret blame, only infinite sadness and powerlessness.
"Leng Yue, the lonely shadow is graceful, the clothes are wet with dew, I thought I would never be destined for you in this life!"
The last part of the singing should be about the "king" taking the concubine into his arms and the two of them singing together, but Mu Yu was very hesitant and still had no intention of taking action.
But this is not allowed for Tu Shanyue! She has disrupted his performance to this point——
Want to quit at will? How can you allow it?!
The woman was about to pull away from the performance, but Tu Shanyue's fox tail hooked her ankle, and she leaned forward, subconsciously holding his waist to lean on.
Tu Shanyue has a faint smell of fragrant powder, and a fresh smell that she is not familiar with. It is different from fragrant powder. It is clean and refreshing, just like flowers in the sun, making people want to jump on it and roll around.
, and then have a good sleep.
Seeing that Mu Yu was stunned, Tu Shan Yuemian pinched the tender flesh on her arm hard without changing her expression. Only then did Mu Yu react.
She also instantly understood what Tu Shanyue meant, and spoke with him a little stiffly——
"Wandering back, the wind blew the fairy's sleeves with tears in their eyes, the golden wind and jade dew met each other, the marriage on the earth was not yet completed, the wings in the heaven were sworn to last forever——"
When the song ended, Mu Yi jumped and quickly distanced himself from him. Tu Shan Yue looked very unhappy, but there was not much blame in his eyes.
Mu Yi's emotions and actions just now gave him a new understanding of this ancient opera, so he should thank her.
"Ran, where did you learn this play?"
He looked at Mu Yi calmly and didn't think she would avoid the question.
This ancient song should have been lost a long time ago. How could she, a furry dancer who had not been involved too deeply, know so much and be able to perform the dance steps and singing so perfectly in line with his rhythm?
Mu Yi also answered frankly——
"I pestered the teacher to learn it, but he didn't remember all the content. Later, I looked up the classics and completed it myself!"
"Classics? Isn't this a story that has not been verified for a long time?"
The disappearance of the human race also took away the previous history. Any records and speculations about the monster race and the human race were obtained through ruins and certain legends after the disaster.
But these were originally anecdotes from ancient times of the human race, how could they possibly spread to her and be included in the classics?!
"There is indeed no research. At that time, in Qian... there were many half-demon people in my hometown, and some of them were engaged in storytelling. There were some records in the scripts written by my ancestors. I was obsessed with it at the time, so I borrowed it and read it. It was very enlightening!
"
Mu Yi almost spilled the beans, but what he just said also revealed a lot to Tu Shanyue.
She just said before... Linglu has great prejudice and discrimination against half-demon. How come a half-demon from her hometown can now engage in a respectable and public job like storytelling?
Apparently she hadn't realized the inconsistency in what she said, and was happily continuing to explain the twists and details in the story to Tu Shanyue, but was interrupted by him.
"Do your hometown and other places in Linglu have different attitudes towards half-demon?"
This question immediately made Mu Yi alert, and he suddenly thought that what he just said was contradictory to what he had said before, and he secretly felt something was wrong.
"It's...it's nothing! It's just that...that..."
"You can avoid lying. You don't even dare to look at me."
Tu Shanyue didn't want to make any more comments. This woman's understanding of opera was obviously so high. Why did she become so stupid when it came to such a test of her life?!
"I really can't say! But you are right! My hometown is indeed different from other countries in the spiritual world!"
Mu Ji clapped his hands together, knelt down in a standard manner, imitating the salute movements he had seen on the streets of Haiguo before, and begged Tu Shanyue not to ask any more questions.
After all, she didn't believe that she could keep these secrets completely, and Tu Shanyue's rank was so high. If she continued to talk, the possibility of leaking it was almost absolute!
Her identity is still very sensitive to this day, not because of the black dragon, but because after Qian Duan was destroyed, many survivors were framed by thieves who coveted their skills.
She possesses divine forging skills, and if her identity is exposed, she will definitely be doomed!
Seeing Mu Yidu's request, he frowned and resisted the urge to continue asking about her hometown. Instead, he sat on the stage with her and asked about other things in the spiritual world.
"Will there be wars between different countries in the spiritual world? What about the laws? Can the strong kill people at will?"
What he was talking about was the current situation of Haiguo. Mu Yi also realized the current situation of Haiguo and sighed while shaking his head.
"There are many countries, but there are rarely fights between different countries. Even if there are, there will be several very powerful countries that come forward to mediate and balance." She then added, "The law is a system that imitates the way human races get along with each other.
, the demon clan and the demon clan also live together equally, the strong cannot bully the weak, let alone take human lives at will, if you act like this, you will definitely pay for it with your life!"
When Mu Yi said this, Tu Shanyue's world broadened a lot - his eyes shone with yearning and envy -
If... if he could break free from the constraints of this country, this identity and this strength, maybe he could go to Linglu, live in such a peaceful and peaceful land, perform freely, and have his own life!
However, the joy in his heart was replaced by disappointment when he thought that his demonic power was restricted by the territorial barrier of the Sea Kingdom and that he would not be able to use it even 5 out of 10 times.
"Yueyue, do you yearn for life in Linglu? If you really like it..."
Mu Yi also saw his excitement and longing, and raised his hand to propose without thinking, but his voice gradually became smaller as his expression became increasingly gloomy.
"Although Linglu is very good...but I...I'm afraid I don't have the capital to go..."
"Eh? Why? Even if the waters of Haiguo are dangerous, you should still be able to get out!"
Tu Shanyue shook her head——
"You are extremely lucky. In the past few hundred years, no Linglu demon clan who has intended to set foot on this land has been able to come to the hinterland of the sea alive. This may also have something to do with your half-demon bloodline..."
"What...what do you mean?"
Even if the public security and environment in Haiguo are very bad, there won't be any survivors, right? There are countless monsters in Linglu that are stronger than her, but no one has really broken through here?
"Haiguo has been stuck in its own ways for many years. Not only trade and culture, but also transportation and even any news have been cut off from the outside world. This is all because the daimyo want to prevent Linglu forces from interfering and seizing local resources of Haiguo..."
Tu Shanyue clutched her clothes tightly——
"The ancestors of my family were originally exiled here from the spirit world. Thousands of years ago, the daimyo used the luck of the sea country to set a seal. All local monsters in the sea country are not allowed to leave, and foreign monsters are not allowed to enter..."
"Do you have to stay here for the rest of your life?!"
Mu Yi had seen the map of the Sea Kingdom in the entire spiritual world. Although it was a large island, it was not surprising that the powerful demon tribe traveled rapidly. Who would be willing to spend the rest of his life on such a lonely island?
!
"No...if I can penetrate into those daimyo, as long as the prohibition seal held by any one of them is broken, the shackles of the sea country will be released. At that time, I will be free and go wherever I want to go!"
Tu Shanyue's eyes became firmer and filled with unshakable stubbornness.
Our ancestors were bullied and discriminated against here. After a few generations, he finally saw the hope of freedom. How could he give up so easily?!
"Then you are going to perform in front of the famous people this time because..."
No matter how bad Mu Yi was, he could still think of Tu Shanyue's purpose this time. He did not deny it and nodded.
"I want to win the trust of a famous person, no matter what the cost!"
The desire for freedom and a quiet life almost overshadowed all the will in Tu Shanyue's mind.
"If I can go to Linglu and the wider world, I will definitely go to various places without being bound by anyone or looking down upon by anyone!"
He wants to be the freest dancer, able to dance in front of anyone, and perform dances in places where everyone can see and appreciate him!
Instead of being despised by those people and treated as a plaything like now, never knowing whether I will become a victim in the next moment!
Such a homeless and frightening life - he has had enough!!!!!
Mu Yi just looked at Tu Shanyue quietly, wanting to speak but unable to say anything.
She was not familiar with Haiguo, had not even lived here for more than three days, and could not understand Tu Shanyue's pain and struggle...
She is a complete outsider. Even if she wants to help, she doesn't know how to help him.
And his temper and character... also destined him not to accept her help——
Maybe in Tu Shanyue's eyes, her kindness and helping hand were just pity and charity after hearing his experience?
