Peach wood

After the golden thread emerged from the jade plate, Mo Yun was very curious about it.The gate of Hades can lead to many cities, so how did this thread pass through this gate and be pulled on Wanzhu accurately?The little demon king squatted on the ground, studying the tight silk thread, couldn't help stretching out his hand to pull it out.

The silk thread was stretched too tightly, like a thin blade, and as soon as his fingertip touched it, it was cut and blood dripped out immediately.

Mo Yun: "..."

"What are you doing? What's the matter with your hands?" From the corner of his eyes, Shuhuai saw him licking his fingers with an aggrieved expression on his face. There was a wound, and two drops of blood remained on the silk thread.

When young people always owe money, Shuhuai expressed his understanding, he put down his pen, took the jade plate from Mo Yun's hand, and put it by the door.Mo Yun stared at the broken plate, and asked curiously, "How did it connect to the outside?"

"You don't care how it's connected, I'm not Fengyi, how do I know." Shuhuai squeezed the wound on the opponent's hand angrily, Mo Yun was pinched so painfully, he yelled and complained about him The strike is too heavy: "It hurts!"

Hearing that it hurts, Shuhuai pinched it again: "Do you know it hurts? Next time, don't touch things that shouldn't be touched."

The healing ability of the Yaozu is relatively strong. The small bloodstain on Mo Yun's hand is healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Shu Huai ordered him to wash it clean, and then picked up the stack that Wen Yanzhi sent. Paper.

In the past two days, the evening candles have subsided a bit, and there are no new dead ghosts who came to sue her in the underworld, but the direction that the golden thread is pulling has been slightly changing. world to see.

Mingjun wished that he would go out quickly and take this troublesome lamp back to the underworld. If he caught it early, it would stop sooner, but Shuhuai seemed to be just talking. He said several times that he wanted to go back to the world, but he never let himself out. house.

He had some unspeakable secret thoughts in his heart, and if he told the truth, he might be denounced as "rebellious" by Hades—he felt that these dead people were heinous, and it would be good to have evening candles to deal with them.

However, he was not sure about Wanzhu's character. If she became murderous and turned around to hurt innocent people, she would not be the only one who would be punished.

When Shuhuai returned to the human world, there was nothing unusual. He just resisted re-entering the imperial city where he once lived. In the memories left to him in that place, joy and pain are intertwined. The latter often overwhelms the former. Make him feel incompetent.

He wants to be nice to everyone but gets hurt, wants to save the world but finds his thinking is too simple, wants to achieve his goals but often shrinks back, wants to pursue fairness but finds it hard to do so, these are his own contradictions, which make him I can't bear it. Although he knows that people can't be perfect, everyone around him reminds him that he must become a perfect existence.

His biggest problem is that he cares too much about other people's judgments, and cares too much about other people's eyes.If not, he wouldn't have been disturbed for so long because of Wan Zhu's words.

To live in this world is to have a big heart. If the heart is not relaxed, then he will be overwhelmed by endless pressure.These pressures do not come from the outside world, but from himself.As far as Shuhuai himself is concerned, neither Ghost Envoy nor Mingjun thinks he is bad, and the Heavenly Emperor favors him even more, but he often belittles himself, as if he would have a bad conscience if he didn't.

What Wanzhu said to him may be unintentional, but he took this evaluation seriously. In fact, he was a little afraid of Wanzhu, afraid that the next time he saw her again, she would say "trash".

Afraid of such a situation, Shuhuai didn't want Mo Yun to go with him, he thought about finding a time to ask Wen Yanzhi to hold the wolf cub, and slip away quietly by himself.It's a pity that Mo Yun clings to him so tightly that he can't leave him. He can't wait to cling to him and follow him wherever he goes.

The ghost messenger also expressed that he did not understand Shuhuai's thoughts. They all felt that Mo Yun would not care about such things, and would be happy to charge forward. Shuhuai had no choice but to ask his sister for help. Willing to help him, Mingjun even said that he would like to go or not, anyway, sooner or later, there is no rush.

Yan Qingran was right, after two days of procrastination, Shuhuai was still impatient and wanted to go to the world to see what Wanzhu was doing.

Recently, Wanzhu did not do anything out of the ordinary. Seeing the cold winter approaching, she was busy lighting fires for the homeless people outside the city every night.Wherever there is her, the flame will not be extinguished, and where there is flame, wanderers will not freeze to death, and wild beasts will not attack.

Shuhuai could only judge that she was moving within a small range through the change in the direction of the silk thread, which was the proof that she was running around the imperial city. .

Late autumn has passed, and winter is approaching. To Wanzhu, this short year is just a moment in her life, but to those mortals, this is not the case. The winter night is long and cold, even if it is only a quarter of an hour Very difficult.

What the lamp girl can do is to light a fire for them.She doesn't have the ability to conjure castles out of thin air, she can't give them a comfortable and stable house, and she can't spread money—in the lives of the people at the bottom, anything can happen, and anything can be met. It will arouse the jealousy of others, and it will not be certain who will get the money by then.

They don't care about so many principles, let alone humility. They only have the instinct of survival, so Wanzhu can't give them too much, which will make them turn into another cruel appearance.

If they could get a good education, they would be in trouble, and they wouldn’t behave like this, but most of these people are illiterate, and they have to compete for the resources necessary for survival. It is completely fanciful to expect them to sacrifice themselves for others.

Many of the same kind thought it would be strange for her to do this kind of thing. The life and death of mortals had nothing to do with monsters, so it was thankless for Wanzhu to help them.Seeing that the flames were still burning, the other party would only think that it was the mercy of the heavens, and would not think about the monster race. Besides, she saved the people here, but she couldn't save the people there. Like a fish, if you can take care of one, you can't take care of that.

Stranded fish cannot be saved, and dying people cannot be saved. As long as there are people in the world, the word poverty will never disappear.

Of course Wan Zhu understood this, but she still felt that it was better to save one than to do nothing.

What she didn't know was that her ideas coincided with those of the book. In some people's eyes, the latter's so-called "salvation" is also absurd, but he still saves whatever he can, although he occasionally treats the He had some doubts, but he never gave up what he insisted on.

If anyone can stick to a certain quality, or persevere in doing something, he is worthy of admiration compared with those who give up lightly.

Wanzhu had secretly observed Shuhuai for several years. During this time, she found that the other person was sometimes lazy and sometimes full of confidence. Naturally, she thought that this person was also capricious.She only saw the phenomenon, but ignored the essence. Shuhuai seemed to give up, but she never really gave up, and Wanzhu just forgot this.

Shuhuai was lying on the bed, looking at the jade plate on the table, the golden thread connecting the jade plate and the outside world was shining, even the surrounding darkness could not cover up its light.Perhaps because of Mo Yun's influence, Shuhuai now began to think about why this thread could pass through the gate of Hades, and he even had the idea of ​​grabbing Fengyi to ask about it.

Speaking of Fengyi, Gong Fei came to mind again. This girl seems to be overwintering in the South China Sea. Anyway, Shuhuai has never seen her since the time when they parted ways at the junction of the north and the south.

"You said, Gong Fei lives in the South China Sea, isn't it quite free now?" Shuhuai pushed the little demon king beside him, and Mo Yun responded in a daze, spit out the word "hot", and then turned over again asleep.

His "hotness" made Shuhuai think about it for a long time before he figured out what he meant. He was saying that the South China Sea is very hot now.

Of course the South China Sea is very hot. It is different there from the north. The winter in the north is inhumane. If you don’t burn a stove at home, you may be frozen to death as soon as winter begins.

The imperial city is also in the north, so it is naturally the same situation. Shuhuai doesn't like the severe cold climate, especially the cold wind in winter, which will affect the speed of his sword.

If you want to fight Wanzhu, you can't choose a windy day, because the flames will have superpowers by taking advantage of the wind. As long as Wanzhu moves his fingers, he can become the next new dead ghost in the underworld.

No, it shouldn't be this result, he still can't enter the underworld, his name is no longer in the book of life and death, after he dies, he's completely clean, nothing can be left behind.

I hope Miss Deng can be a little patient, listen to him say a few words, don't just start fighting indiscriminately.

The little demon king was sound asleep, but Shu Huai couldn't sleep. He hesitated for a moment, and decided to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to shake off the little tail named Mo Yun, and go to the human world alone.

Mo Yun sleeps on the outside, and if he wants to get out of bed, he must first turn over him. Shuhuai holds his breath and concentrates, and crosses this "low wall" like a thief, but suddenly an arm is wrapped around his waist, and Mo Yun holds him tightly. Locked, eyes closed and asked: "Where are you going?"

"Go talk to the ghost messenger." Shuhuai was a little nervous, and lied casually.

He wanted to find Wen Yanzhi, so why did he choose the moment when he was falling asleep?Mo Yun had long felt that something was wrong with him, and looked as if he wanted to run out, so he deliberately pretended to be asleep to lure him into the bait, but he didn't expect to catch him right, and not long after he closed his eyes, there was a rustling sound beside him .

Although Shuhuai is no longer a mortal, his heart still beats, and at this moment his heart beats extremely fast, I don't know if it's because of this ambiguous action, or because he was caught for doing "bad things". As far as the current situation is concerned, Mo Yun is more inclined to the latter.

Shuhuai felt that he was being entangled again, almost out of breath. He was really guilty, so he could only try not to look at Mo Yun. The little demon king opened his eyes, smiled at him, and asked intentionally: "Look at how nervous you are, don't you want to run outside the underworld with me behind your back?"

I can't tell whether this wolf cub is smart or stupid. Sometimes he is cute and cute, and sometimes he is frighteningly witty. Shu wanted to cry, but made up an even worse reason: "I see you are sleeping, and I don't want to disturb you." .”

This sentence blurted out, which meant that he did not confess himself. He indirectly admitted that he was not looking for a ghost, but going out of the underworld.Mo Yun secretly thought it was funny, pressed the person in his arms and rubbed him a few more times, then let go, pushed the book pocket back to the inside of the bed, and waited to see the other party continue to perform.

"I... Let's go to bed first, and we'll go out tomorrow." Shuhuai was frightened by those eyes, fearing that the wolf cub would bite him if he was unhappy, so he hurriedly tried to make amends, but it was too late, Mo Yun couldn't live or die Accept his proposal and force him to go out now.

If you take these words seriously, isn't it courting death?Shuhuai was not so stupid that he couldn't hear the irony, he hugged the pillow and stared at Mo Yun for a long time, finally lost, and complained helplessly: "I'm good at learning, so I won't be fooled."

"Then are you going out or not?" Mo Yun still looked at him with a smile, insisting on his statement.

Shuhuai swallowed, feeling that he was not facing a puppy at the moment, but a big wild wolf. People often say that there is a "smiling tiger", but they don't know that there are such creatures as "smiling wolves". The latter is even more brutal.

His gaze swiveled between Yupan and Mo Yun, and he decided to smash the jar: "Go out, go out, go now!"

Mo Yun just waited for the other party to say this. Before Shuhuai could finish his sentence, he sat up from the bed. He didn't look sleepy at all. Now he is full of energy and fighting spirit. Don't say that he is going to the human world, even if he is called Going to the Heavenly Palace to single out the gods, he is also eager to try.

Wen Yanzhi happened to pass by their door with a few dead ghosts, and suddenly saw the lights in the house go on and off, feeling strange in his heart, just about to knock on the door to ask if something happened, but Seeing that door opened, these two guys came out suddenly.

They actually want to go out at this time?This seems a little abnormal.The ghost envoy was taken aback, and quickly recalled the time in the human world, and found that it was Zishi over there. These two guys didn't go out early or late, but they went outside at this time, what was their idea?

Even if he was going to catch the lamp girl, couldn't he choose the daytime?For safety reasons, the ghost messenger stopped them and suggested that they wait until dawn before leaving Hades, but Mo Yun giggled, telling Shuhuai that he didn't want to sleep at night and wanted to go out for a stroll.

Although he felt that this was not the case, Shuhuai didn't refute it, and the ghost envoy didn't care about their affairs. These new ghosts were still waiting for him to take them to the hall, and he couldn't delay any longer, so he left a sentence of "be careful in everything", Then left in a hurry.

"You are really good." As soon as the ghost emissary left, Shuhuai started to target the little wolf cub. Mo Yun didn't care about it. Whatever Shuhuai said about him, he would only answer "Thank you", and the other party was so angry that he said I couldn't speak, so I had to hold back all my words in my stomach, and walked outside with my head sullen.

The gold thread on the jade plate moved slightly, and Wanzhu seemed to sense the movement on their side, or saw the thread shrink, and guessed that they were approaching, so she ran to another place,

Shuhuai sneered, and said in his heart that even if you ran to the ends of the earth, as long as this thread is there, I will always be able to find you, why do you need to hide, is there a place in this world that I can't reach?

He vaguely felt that he had forgotten something, but he didn't seem to have forgotten anything. He firmly believed that Wanzhu would be caught no matter how she hid, and even felt that she would be taken back to the underworld for confinement. At the moment in front of the building complex, he realized that he had neglected the most important thing.

Wanzhu stays in the imperial city, and there is an imperial palace in this city, he can only hide his aura, but not his figure, and cannot overcome many obstacles to reach the interior of the imperial palace.

This place is different from other places, even if a bird flies in, it will attract the attention of the imperial guards.But Shuhuai thought about it, since Wanzhu can cast spells to prevent these mortals from seeing him, Mo Yun, who is the king of the monster clan, must be able to do the same.With the last hope in his arms, he whispered to the little wolf cub, "Can you also cast a spell so that people can't see themselves?"

"Sorry, I can't." Mo Yun admitted his shortcomings without changing his face, "Father taught me this before, but I can't learn it."

"Oh, so..." It is also commendable to dare to face your own flaws.Looking at the palace wall in the night, Shuhuai said regretfully: "Then it seems that we can't catch her tonight, we have to wait until she leaves the palace—it's a bit windy outside now, let's go back to Hades first?"

Mo Yun had no objection, and the two walked along the wall and slowly circled back to the old tree in the city.The wind is blowing hard tonight, the bare branches are shaking violently, and the chirping of night birds can be heard from time to time, which makes it feel desolate.

The city gate was tightly closed, but Shuhuai knew in his heart that many people were starving and freezing outside, but what could he do?He can't do anything.
