Demon in the world

Under the leadership of Wen Renchu, Ah Jiu finally met Di Ting, whom Ouyang Fei regarded as a miracle doctor—now known as Mr. Jin.

The building he lived in was very dilapidated, standing in the sun and exuding an old smell. The walls were covered with green ivy, and when the wind blew, it seemed to set off layers of cool waves, revealing the covered glass windows faintly.

In fact, Mr. Jin is a kind-looking old man in his 70s, with a white beard about half a foot long. He is wearing a black silk jacket and holds a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.

Ah Jiu said quietly to Wen Ren: "I like this grandpa very much, and he also believes in Buddhism." His voice was extremely low, but he was still heard by the opposite Mr. Jin.

After Mr. Jin let out a hearty laugh, he took out a cardboard box to Ah Jiu, which contained white fingernail-sized pills.

Ah Jiu pinched one and put it in her mouth, her eyes quickly rolled up, "This candy is so sweet, it doesn't have any impurities!"

Mr. Jin said happily: "I personally extracted this from Sydney. It is specially used to treat children who are sick. You can't buy it outside. If you like it, I will give you a big bag when you leave. "

Ah Jiu said happily, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

After drinking a cup of tea, Wen Ren said clearly: "Ah Jiu, you go outside to play first, I have something to discuss with Mr. Jin."

After Ah Jiu walked out, Mr. Jin praised: "This child has a round and clear forehead, wide ears and red lips, and a face like a bright moon. He is really a Buddha with a pure and wise heart."

Wen Renchu's eyes lit up, "Then will he..."

Mr. Jin immediately said: "Don't say it."

Wen Renchu ​​frowned slightly, but it was inconvenient to ask further questions, he just said: "Ajiu grew up with an eminent monk since childhood, and has never harmed others. Although he is a monster, he is kind and simple, unlike us, you should be able to I can tell."

Mr. Jin stroked his beard, "He is indeed a good boy, but it's a pity..."

There seemed to be a turning point in his words, Wen Renchu ​​immediately said: "What a pity?"

"He is indeed docile and harmless now, but after all, the blood of the dragon is flowing in his body. Once it breaks through His Highness's seal, I am afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable. Moreover, His Highness forcibly sealed him in his original form, and it will also give him He does a lot of negative damage physically."

Wen Renchu ​​was stunned, "Will there be any harm?"

Mr. Jin said: "Naturally, this is like a chicken that should have hatched in 20 days, but His Highness wants to force it to be imprisoned in the shell to prevent it from growing. Do you think it will cause any harm?" ?”

"Will it... be serious?"

"The mild ones are deformed, and the severe ones are violent."

Wen Renchu's fingers trembled slightly, "Then the seal I added before..."

Mr. Jin comforted him, "Your Highness, don't worry too much. He is still young and his body is still in its infancy. It is easy to correct it, but it must not hinder his growth anymore. Right now, I can only tell him bluntly, so that he can understand himself as soon as possible. identity is."

The room fell into silence, and after a long silence, Wenren Chu said, "Is there no other way?"

Mr. Jin shook his head, "This is my nature, Your Highness should go with nature."

It turned out that he had painstakingly concealed, sneered and deceived, but he still couldn't let this younger brother escape his original fate.Wen Renchu ​​clenched his hands into fists, and then slowly released them, "I know what to do, and I have one more thing to ask for your help."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"A few days ago, since I absorbed a little demon queen with my right hand, it often brought me some inexplicable emotional touch."

Mr. Jin put his finger on his wrist, and after a while he smiled clearly, "Are all the emotions related to Ah Jiu?"

Wenren Chu's eyes dimmed, "Yes."

Mr. Jin thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult, Your Highness, if you want the strange appearance to disappear, as long as I use acupuncture to completely kill the hidden original soul."

It turned out that it was that guy Shenghua who was doing the trick. He had become a part of his body, but he was still so wicked...

Mr. Jin wanted to take the needle bag, but Wen Renchu ​​calmly stopped him, "No need, I don't want to kill it just yet."

If Ah Jiu knew that the brother who grew up with him had disappeared from the world, wouldn't he cry sadly?

"That's fine," Mr. Jin said with relief, "Actually, with His Highness's ability, it can't do you any harm. And with it, you can sense Ah Jiu's situation and mood at any time, which is not a bad thing. "

"We're staying here for two days. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"

"It's my honor. My place is usually too quiet, and I don't even have anyone to talk to. What's more, I like His Highness the Ninth Prince very much."

Later in the evening, Ah Jiu found out that Mr. Jin was not only good at medicine, but also good at cooking.

Because of his status as a doctor, he pays great attention to the diet. The dishes are all boiled, boiled, and steamed, which not only retains their original flavor, but also does not lose nutrients.

The meat of white-cut duck is tender and bone-free, with a light color and a pleasant salty aroma. Although it is supplemented with soybeans, it does not affect its pure taste at all.

Longjing prawns are white and tender like jade, decorated with three or two slices of tender tea, white like jade, green and clear, it tastes fresh when you put it in your mouth, it seems to jump out when you put it in your mouth.

Fresh pumpkin flowers are made from fresh pumpkin flowers, and the meat stuffing is evenly filled in the middle. It is first steamed in a basket and then thickened with its juice. After being placed in a pot, it is poured with sesame oil, which makes people's index fingers move when they smell it.

There are also two dishes of shiitake mushrooms and green vegetables and vegetarian fried pea shoots. The color is bright and appetizing, which is just used to relieve the greasy pork stuffing.

Ah Jiu's eyes narrowed into crescents, "If grandpa isn't a doctor, he must be a good cook!"

"Old! I feel uncomfortable when I'm free, so I try to make some food. When I was young, I never went into the kitchen."

"Well, eating is very important. If grandpa eats well every day, he will definitely live younger and younger."

Ah Jiu said while cleaning up the dishes, but was stopped by Mr. Jin, "Sit and sit, I will do it myself."

Wen Renchu, who had been silent at the dinner table, said, "Ah Jiu, let's go out and sit for a while."

His expression was very serious, and after seeing it, Ah Jiu was in a state of turmoil, not knowing what happened.

The two came under the grape vines in front of the building and sat down on the wooden chair. Wen Renchu ​​opened his mouth, but closed it under Ah Jiu's suspicious eyes.

"What's the matter, brother, are you feeling unwell?"

Wen Renchu ​​denied, "No, I just wanted to chat with you."

Ah Jiu showed a shallow smile, "Okay, I like chatting with my brother the most."

"Which do you think is better, being a human or a monster?"

Ah Jiu scratched her hair, "Is there any difference?"

Wen Renchu ​​leaned his body on the back of the chair and looked up at the starry night sky in summer, "Of course there are differences. A person's fate is in his own hands. Although his life is only a few decades, he can live a carefree life." Monsters can live for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, but most of the time they can only live involuntarily." His voice and face were as calm as ever, but Ah Jiu could feel the oppression from his words Lonely and sad.

Ah Jiu said earnestly with a sugar pill in his mouth: "As long as I can be with my brother, it doesn't matter if I'm a human or a monster."

"If you are a monster, you may no longer be able to do what you want to do, and you may not be able to eat what you like. There is no sunshine, no freedom, and there is only boundless darkness and despair waiting for you."

Ah Jiu was slightly startled, "Brother...has this been your life before?"

Wen Renchu ​​didn't reply to him, only Chongzi kept singing in a low voice in the corner.

Ah Jiu hesitated and leaned her head lightly on his shoulder, "Even so, it doesn't matter. When I went to learn how to cook, I hoped to cook for my brother. I couldn't eat anything good on Qingcheng Mountain... I think With you, I am willing to live any kind of life wherever I go.”

In a daze, Wen Renchu ​​raised his hand to caress his face, stroked the red mole under his eyes with his thumb, and said, "Being a monster used to be a glorious thing, but after a great battle, everything changed. At that time I had seven younger brothers, the youngest one hadn’t been born yet, he was stupid and was often teased and teased by other younger brothers. When the war broke out, I took the youngest brother and I fled to Wuzhu Cave, where there were demons gathering , but it was the safest place when the Three Realms were in turmoil. After putting it in Wuzhu Cave, I sealed its memory and monster form with my own blood, and left his ranking mark."

Ah Jiu was not surprised by this result, because he had always firmly believed that Wen Renchu ​​was his elder brother, but he never expected him to speak out suddenly without warning, and couldn't help but muttered: "Brother..."

Wen Ren Chu Zhi ignored it, and continued: "I made up my mind to go back to live and die with the demon world. I thought that if I die, I will let it sleep forever. If I am lucky enough to survive, I must go to five Zhudong got it back. Later, I didn’t die, but went to a place that was worse than my death. I didn’t care about the world’s affairs every day. The casualties in that war were terrible, and the Tianhe River was full of red blood for 50 years. As a victory in the war All monsters in the Three Realms cannot escape, and there is a special division of the Hundred Monster List. All creatures in the monster world are included in this list, regardless of whether they are involved in war or not, they will all be implicated. Only the unborn little monster in Wuzhu Cave escaped. This calamity."

"elder brother……"

"Every time someone asks about the youngest brother, I say that he died in the glazed fire of that war. Even my own brothers don't know that he is alive. As an older brother, I can't even protect my own younger brother. , how can I have the heart to let him bear the mistakes we made? I have been hiding this secret, and I dare not let anyone find out. Sometimes I can't help but wonder where he is now and how he is living, but he has always been I didn’t dare to look for it... After 4300 years like this, one day he miraculously appeared in front of me and called me brother..."

"Brother," Ah Jiu hugged his arm, weeping with sorrow and joy, "You said you would come back to me. I knew it, you definitely wouldn't lie to me..."

Wen Renchu's eyes were drawn across his eyes with his fingertips complicatedly, and the red mole spread and gradually faded away.

Ah Jiu was stunned, "I, I seem to remember a lot of things now..."

"Jiujiu, come here, brother will buy you candy."

"Which bastard is scribbling on Lao Jiu again?"

"Brother calm down...Eighth brother is just bored, let it be for my sake."

"I didn't do it, it was seven, seven, seven..."

"Go, don't play with these boring people, brother will take you to put lanterns."

"Second brother, don't you find it strange that you are a big man holding an egg?"

……

Ah Jiu rubbed her eyes and said happily, "I remembered everything! It turns out that Brother Xin and Brother Ouyang are also my own brothers!"

"What about me?" an abrupt male voice asked suddenly.

Ah Jiu looked at the person in surprise. He was a mature and elegant man, around 24 or [-] years old, with mild features and a lazy smile.There was a light blue stubble on his chin, but he didn't look sloppy at all, instead he gave off a very elegant ruffian air.

Xiao walked up to Ah Jiu, and he continued to ask: "Do you remember who I am?"

Ah Jiu looked at Wen Renchu, who was calm and composed, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. When did this person... come in?Why didn't you hear any sound at all?

Seeing his silence, the visitor sighed in disappointment, and took out a furry puppy from the pocket of his windbreaker, "It's a good thing I brought you a present."

What a cute puppy, just full moon, so chubby and cute.

Ah Jiu turned her head to look at that person, "Are you... the third brother?" In my memory, only the second and third brothers seem to be more gentle.

The visitor smiled and hugged him, "Yes, I am your third brother, and my current name is Xifeng." After that, he handed him the puppy in his hand, "Remember you like to play with this kind of little beast , so I caught one on purpose.”

"Thank you third brother!" Ah Jiu saw that Ren Chu and Xi Feng were staring at her, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Third brother, you chat with brother, and I will take the puppy out for a walk."

Wenren Chu said: "Pay attention to safety, don't go too far."

Xi Feng watched him run out in a panic, and said with a smile: "Blood relationship is different after all. It's fine for outsiders to call me brother. Only those who call me feel the most comfortable."

At night, Jiangcheng and Yudu are almost as lively. When Ah Jiu walks out of Mr. Jin's alley, there is a night market, and the variety of roadside snacks is dazzling.

Ah Jiu made up his mind that he must have an empty stomach tomorrow, La Wenren Chu, and Xi Feng, the three of them will eat them all!

About half an hour later, Ah Jiu turned back with the puppy in her arms. Chu and Xi Feng didn't dare to raise their heads when they saw that they walked along the wall to sneak back into the room.

Seeing him concealing himself, Wen Renchu ​​called him to stop, "Stop."

Ah Jiu's body immediately froze like a puppet, not daring to move.

"turn around."

Knowing that Ah Jiu couldn't hide it, she turned around with a smirk, and it turned out that her face was swollen and there were a few red fingerprints on it.

Xi Feng pulled him over, and said with concern: "You only went out for a short while, why did you make it like this?"

Ah Jiu covered her face, and told the whole thing from the beginning to the end under the two people's inquiring eyes.

It turned out that on the way back, he saw a lady walking with a puppy. Although the puppy Xi Feng gave was docile in appearance, it was actually very fierce. Can't live.

The hostess kicked it angrily, and the little dog went completely crazy, biting it violently, Ah Jiu followed up to persuade him, but was slapped by mistake.

Now the puppy seems to know that he has made a big mistake, lying at Xi Feng's feet so honestly he doesn't even dare to hum.

Seeing that Chu's face was gloomy, Xi Feng hurriedly said: "This matter is my fault. I just caught it a few days ago and sent it here without proper training."

Ah Jiu said depressedly: "Where did the third brother catch it? It bites people more fiercely than a mountain wolf!"

Xi Feng said: "It's actually not a dog, but a kind of low-level monster called Huo Dou. It is usually very sincere after recognizing its owner. I originally wanted it to protect you in the future... Now it seems that it can't be kept."

The puppy immediately crawled up to Ah Jiu, whining and begging, with watery blue eyes, looking very pitiful.

Ah Jiu thought he was going to drive it away, so she couldn't help but soft-heartedly said: "Keep it, I will take care of it in the future."

Wen Renchu ​​said coldly: "Xifeng, you take it to Mr. Jin for a castration operation first."

The little dog immediately lowered its head with a groan, and was carried into the room by Xi Feng miserably.

Ah Zuo wanted to follow, but was pushed out by Xi Feng, and asked Wen Renchu, "Brother, why did you castrate it? Just now, Huo Dou insisted on riding someone else's puppy, do you know why?"

This kind of question... Just as Wen Renchu ​​was considering his words, a shrill scream suddenly sounded in the room.

Ah Jiu visibly shivered, before she recovered, Xi Feng walked out with a smile on her face, "Okay."

"Woe, where's Wo Dou?" Ah Jiu stammered and asked.

Xi Feng said: "I am resting, and I will be alive and kicking tomorrow morning."

Wen Renchu ​​immediately said to Ah Jiu: "I'm a little sleepy, you can ask Mr. Jin about your question just now, he is a professional."

As an elder, Di Ting could not be more suitable to teach him these common senses.

Xi Feng followed closely to say goodbye, seeing Ah Jiu reluctant to part, he said, "Don't worry, I'll come over to play with you tomorrow."

After sending Xifeng away, Ah Jiu went to visit Fudou alone, only to see him drowned in a small basket tiredly, the miserable appearance was very distressing.

Mr. Jin came out after washing his hands. Seeing Ah Jiu staring at him, he asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Ah Jiu said: "I have doubts, brother let me ask you."

After listening to his question with a smile, Mr. Jin took out a book from the counter and said, "This book teaches common sense of physiology. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

The book is very thin, only about 100 pages, and it is very easy to understand with Q version color pictures and simple notes.

After reading a few pages, Ah Jiu suddenly realized, and said to herself: "It turns out that Fu Dou wants to have a baby with that puppy."

Although there is a slight deviation in understanding, the meaning is the same after all, and Mr. Jin did not say anything to correct it.

After turning a few more pages, Ah Jiuqi said: "I finally know how people came into this world."

Mr. Jin smiled and said: "It's getting late, go upstairs to rest, this book is for you, you can read it slowly in the future."

After Ah Jiu arrived at the room, he saw that Ren Chu had finished taking a bath, and proudly said, "Brother, I already understand. I also know how a man and a woman can have children! I can also have children at my current age."

Wen Renchu ​​frowned and pulled out the book, flipped through it twice and said, "This is written for human beings, and it doesn't apply to you in terms of age."

Ah Jiu was a little disappointed, "Can't I have a baby now?"

"Of course not!" After realizing that his tone was harsh, Wen Renchu ​​softened his attitude, "You are still young, don't think about such things."

Ah Jiu nodded, and said cautiously: "My brother's age... he should be able to have children now, right?"
