115, one hundred and fifteen
After being attacked by unknown people in the store that day, Yuan Yuanyuan went home honestly for two days. She kept hiding in the house, without any illusion, just hid in the house to read comics.
Originally, Yuanyuan had a lot of things every day, so although she often stumbled on fish, she rarely calmed down and quietly finished reading a comic or a novel.
That is today, Yuan Yuanyuan is afraid of causing trouble and doesn’t have to go to work on weekends. So she can sit down peacefully and watch something casually, just like giving herself a vacation.
Yuan Yuanyuan got up in the morning and cooked instant noodles, came back to clean up her house. She was actually worried about one thing, which was how Liu An was doing today. Yesterday she gave him 200 yuan, which was the only spare money she saved this month. She originally wanted to buy some snacks, but she was afraid that he had no place to live, so she gave it to him first.
It costs 200 yuan, and you can live in a rental house that kind of room for five or six days.
Yuan Yuanyuan was a little upset. She thought about whether to decorate her figure and secretly went out to see how Liu An was doing. She always felt that she was not qualified as a boss. However, she reminded herself in her heart several times, which made her gradually calm down.
Liu An, who was now caring for by her, was sitting quietly in a small house, looking at the sky outside.
"What are you looking for me?" asked Sandaoca, "You have no place to go recently?"
"There's a little bit..." Liu An said, "What are you doing? What are you preparing for?"
He pointed to a big box in Sandaocha's hand. The box was polished with a stone and looked very smooth on the surface.
Although the monsters transformed into human forms, their living habits were still quite close to the time of the beast. This can be seen from the fact that many monsters live in the wild and communicate with each other to use stones and leaves.
This box took a lot of thought at first glance. After Liu An looked at it, he felt curious. Who was worth the three scars to spend so much effort, so he asked who he wanted to give it to.
"For the boss of the region." Sandaoca turned his head and said, "The boss of the region has taken care of us a lot this year. You may have just arrived, so you haven't seen our boss much. But I'm sure if you have seen it, you won't be prepared for nothing."
"...ah?" Liu An looked at the three scars, and the expression on his face was very puzzled.
He was mainly puzzled why when the three scars talked about this boss, his face showed a rosy look similar to the girl Sichun who saw her idol...
Liu An shook his head, but he didn't expect that Sandao Scars had such a girlish side.
He turned around to clean up his bedding. Three scars were still stuffing some things into the box, then sealed the hole, took a note in a regular manner, and wrote his name on it.
The monsters in City C have been busy preparing for the New Year recently. Although they have not returned home to reunite with their families, there is another thing, which is the rules they have always followed.
When Yuan Yuanyuan was eating instant noodles, she heard a buzzing sound on her phone, which shocked her. She picked up her phone and looked at the things inside, and found that the sound that was buzzing and shaking was the sound that fat cat and black red were chatting.
They posted many pictures in the group. Sometimes Yuan Yuanyuan didn't understand what they were saying, so she often couldn't interfere. But she still could peek at the screen, and maybe she could see it clearly as she peeked.
This time, they were talking about the questions that Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't understand as usual. Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't understand what they were talking about, but they saw several beautiful pictures.
One picture is a huge tree, which is like a sculpture of ice and snow. It was taken in the dark night, and in the dark night it was like an elves.
There is another photo that impressed her deeply. The photo shows countless black smoke rising from the ground and then gathering in the sky. It is the posture of a hundred ghosts walking at night, but this is definitely the largest one that Yuan Yuanyuan has seen.
[Group owner: This is the night tour of hundreds of ghosts organized by our family this year. The tree is the little monsters below.]
[Black and Red: Wow... I've seen it and I want to hijack you. Have you received anything?]
[Group owner: Yes, I can pretend at least, okay? Do you underestimate my ability to show off?]
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't watch what the two of them were talking about. It seemed that the fat cat was showing off his wealth. However, no matter how he showed off his wealth, Yuan Yuanyuan didn't feel that he was a poor man, because the gap was too far away, and there was no emotional fluctuation at all. If you threw it in front of her for 100 yuan, maybe her reaction was bigger than this one.
She clicked Mengman again, then called Hache, waiting for today's comic to be updated.
The previous comic painted the story of the man in red and Fanning. Now she really wanted to see if the magazine below would draw the love between two people.
However, as soon as the cover of this magazine came out, Yuan Yuanyuan knew that the picture of the basic love was gone, because the cover of this magazine was Fanning alone.
However, in addition to Fanning, there is a vague background behind it. The background is very beautiful, with a very huge monster avatar. The avatars of these monsters are squeezed into a piece of black smoke.
Huh? This black smoke is...
Yuan Yuanyuan recognized what this background was, and it was actually the background of the Hundred Ghosts' Night Walk.
Today's comics are interesting to do this. They made a pure Taoist priest in front and then made a huge picture of a hundred ghosts walking in the night behind.
What is this to do... Is it necessary to draw the situation of Fanning fighting hundreds of demons?
But this plot is a bit unattached, isn't it a bit abrupt? Besides, the nasty chicken in Farning, although she doesn't despise the nasty chicken, no matter how she says that the monsters can't be so weak.
Yuan Yuanyuandian opened the comic and the first one was not the picture of Fanning, but a very large downtown view.
From the top to the bottom, the bustling city is very quiet, but particularly lively.
The comics are silent, but the whole city is brightly lit, with countless neon lights and colorful lights lit in the city.
But in addition to those lights, there is also a kind of quiet creature that decorates the city.
【Monsters.】
[Although it is now the industrial age, the monsters still survive in the way of their old life. They shuttled through the tall buildings, just like they were shuttled through the forest.]
[The monsters are very resilient. Even in very harsh environments, they still maintain their own lifestyle.]
Yuan Yuanyuan paused when she saw the saying "The monsters are very resilient". She was deeply moved by this. Monsters are so capable of living.
But she stopped entangling on this and continued to look down.
[Countless spots of light rose from the ground and then flew into the sky. They were all monsters in this city. As the New Year approached, these monsters also began to prepare their own New Year plans.]
[Faning looked at the monsters coming and going and lived here for two months. This was the first time in his life that he had lived with monsters so close.]
[In the past two months, he has seen many unique lifestyles of monsters. Although he has learned a lot from the demon-eliminating master before, he can only truly understand what some of the words of the predecessors meant by him at that time.]
[He remembered that he had seen a saying in the book that monsters respect the strong, and their respect for the strong even reached an extreme state.]
[This kind of obedience to the strong is even imprinted in their bones and blood.]
...
"At that time, our city C had big monsters that all creatures were afraid of. It was because of those big monsters that our city C could gain a foothold." The old man said, "But now, almost all of those big monsters have fallen."
"Isn't this your fault? After all, is it war?" Lin Gutou said: "But do you really want to call Yuan out?"
"Didn't we just expect this situation when we left him?" the old man looked at Lin Gutou and said, "It's just that we were all worried about Yuan's condition at that time, so we didn't put too much thought on it."
"What about now? How can you be sure that he will promise you now?"
"City c is his home after all, and it is the place where he gave birth to and raised him." The old man said, "If I had gone there now, he would have understood what I mean."
"Do you have any friendship with him...?" Lin Gutou said hesitantly.
"It's not a big friendship, but when he first joined the army, he was his team leader for four years." The old man sighed, "But after the Blood Jade Demon Army called him away, there was no contact between us."
"Hey, do you two actually have such a friendship?" Lin Gutou suddenly became a little interested. He really didn't expect that the old man in front of him had been the team leader of that person back then.
"The last time we met... it wasn't right. It should be the last time I met with Yiqi, in the courtroom." The old man said, "I didn't know what happened at that time, but before that, I thought he would become an unprecedented monster."
"Is he... very powerful back then?" Lin Gutou asked, "How powerful is he?"
"Ha." The old man laughed in an unknown tone, "How powerful is it? Do you ask him how powerful is it?"
There seemed to be a hint of sigh in his voice.
"If you turn the time back to this time a hundred years ago... can you imagine what his doorway looks like?"
"Well... are there a lot of monsters?" Lin Gutou asked, "and all kinds of offerings?"
"A lot of monsters?" The old man's voice became strange again, "No, it's almost all monsters."
“All.”
...
The room calmed down for a moment, and for a moment, Lin Gutou was stunned, but he quickly reacted.
"Well..." His expression became strange, "It sounds very interesting... Can those lunatics in the Southern Sect reach an agreement with the monsters in our C City?"
His words obviously didn't come to the point, but the old man didn't care much about his words, which was obviously changing the subject. Lin Gutou's personality is like this, not for a day or two.
"No monster who learns tricks doesn't know him." The old man said softly, "Every battle of his will be recorded by monsters with high-priced jade disks, and then studied it repeatedly."
"Well...but now almost every big monster will be like this, it's not unusual." Lin Gutou said.
"No, this concept is different." The old man said: "The monsters study every magic of his not because they want to observe how a magic is used. However, the jade plate recorded by the big monsters can only simply learn how a magic should be used from it."
"They studied magic to learn this magic." The old man repeated it. "Either learning how to use it, or simply learning it."
"Ah? Is there any difference?" Lin Gutou asked, "Aren't they all... learning how to do it?"
"Of course there is a difference." The old man said, "Learning is different from being a good person, otherwise where do you think the tricks you have learned now come from?"
...
[The monsters' worship of powerful power has gradually become a strange feature.] Yuan Yuanyuan slowly thought, [They are a group that is very easy to be motivated. Once a strong man appears, he will become the leader of this group.]
[In addition to the unique system of big monsters protecting small monsters, monsters will give gifts to the big monsters they admire most during the Chinese New Year.]
Why are you saying so tactfully... Isn't it just a disguised tribute? Yuan Yuanyuan complained.
Maybe it's because she's a half-demon, so she can't understand this kind of psychology. She can understand tributes in normal times, but when she can make decisions on her own, almost all monsters will pay tributes.
In the eyes of a girl who is a human, some of them have helped a lot in their daily life, so it would be forgot to express their gratitude to her. Some of them are completely feudal slaves and slave owners. The slaves actually have to pay tribute... I don’t understand it very much.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't take it seriously. She had always been not interested in monster sociology. However, in the distant juvenile area, a little girl was led by her mother to a square.
"Tiantian, just put it there." Mom said.
"Can you receive it if you put it there?" the little girl asked.
"Yes." Mom said with a smile.
She actually didn't tell her daughter that even if she was put there, the big monster might not be able to receive it because he never showed up.
However, when I was paying tribute this year, many monsters spontaneously prepared a copy for this big monster. Because I couldn't find where he was, they all placed them in this conspicuous square.
Mom led the little girl back, and the moon is very round today.
Several scattered boxes of all sizes were placed on the deserted square, and when the moon shone, it reflected a silver light.
