I am not human

Someone once said that the criterion for testing whether a person is a friend is to see whether he can speak ill of others with himself.

In a sense, another sentence extended from this sentence is also true: If you want to quickly warm up your friendship, then speak ill of others with him.

Liao Qingshu didn't expect to use this method to sublimate a noble friendship, but the facts have proved that using this method to quell disputes is quite useful. At least for now, he has successfully used the name "Jiufang Ziyan" to arouse the people present. All the mountain and sea beasts fought against each other. After a short period of vigilance and embarrassment, the criticism meeting was quickly launched and carried on like a raging fire.What is a snake?What is a dog bag?Get out of here!Jiufang Ziyan is really not a thing!

Taking advantage of the crowd scolding and spitting, Liao Qingshu put out the flashlight of her mobile phone and quietly withdrew from the criticism meeting, hiding her achievements and fame.

Walking out tens of meters in the dark, he found an open space to sit down on his own, staring at the boundless darkness in a trance, clutching the hideously ugly PHS, rubbing his fingers back and forth on the keyboard, without pressing it for a long time.

What is Jiufang Ziyan's situation now?What about Josh Ren?What's going on out there now?Liao Qingshu was full of doubts, but she didn't know if it was appropriate to take the initiative to call at this time.

"What are you thinking about?" Yiji walked over from the side and lay down beside Liao Qingshu.Liao Qingshu shook her head and asked, "Aren't you with them?"

"My wife is here, pay attention to your image." Yiji yawned, spewed out a small cluster of flames, and burned up in the air in the blink of an eye.

Liao Qingshu recalled that when he entered the mountain and sea world for the first time, the first mountain and sea beast he encountered was Yiji, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.I still remember him at that time, being scolded bloody by Jiufang Ziyan every now and then, but now...

At least he'll talk back.

"Where's your girlfriend?" He asked Yiji, and Yiji flicked his tail lazily: "I'm playing with Shengyu's puppy. I really have no conscience. If you have a puppy, you don't want a big dog."

Liao Qingshu pouted silently.In the sentence just now, he smelled the sour smell of love.

"By the way, there is a leaf of holy wood on Guan Xiaotong's body..." He said to Yiji, who suddenly realized "Oh": "So it is a leaf of holy wood, I said... ask her I can’t explain it clearly, I don’t know anything, but I dare to jump in like this, this little mental retardation, it’s simply."

The sour smell seems to be stronger.Liao Qingshu sniffled: "That leaf is very important, you have to look after it, don't lose it."

Yiji nodded, and Liao Qingshu asked curiously, "How did you know each other?"

"Ok?"

"I said, you and Guan Xiaotong."

Shi Ji wiped his face with his front paws, and said, "How did you know...she is the dream traveler who led me out."

Liao Qingshu: "!!!"

"Of course, she doesn't have that impression anymore... It was about four or five years ago, when I sharpened my head, I finally got a ride with her, but was taken away by the mountain management office as soon as I came out. It took me two years to get everything in order, so I went to find her, and in order to increase my favorability, I even went to her Weibo to dress myself up beautifully..."

He proudly sprayed out a small fireball: "Then she came after me."

"It's all a routine." Liao Qingshu's face hurts from being patted by the cold dog food, "So it was actually you who fell in love at first sight..."

"It doesn't count." Yiji interrupted him, "That's not the way to say it."

Liao Qingshu: "???"

"Uh, how should I put it, it's not considered love, at least not at first. At first it was just an obsession, that is, to find her and see her again."

Liao Qingshu: "It's just a meeting, is it that important?"

"Of course it's important, because it's 'her'." Yiji thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if you can understand that the existence of the mountain and sea world is essentially derived from human beings' denial of aliens. On the contrary,' Bringing out' means recognition and pardon. So bringing out our human beings is very important to us, just like Yinsui... No, it should be 'sealed'. For us, 'bringing out' The significance of it is as important as Feng Zheng."

It is precisely because I care about this "seal", so I have to do everything possible to find the right person, and then extend the love and inseparable fate, obsessively entangled, entangled, and I don't know who is entangled who.

"Feng Zheng..." Liao Qingshu chewed these two words.He had heard the term in class before.When some monsters are about to transform into human form, they will change into human form, put on the clothes of the dead, and go in front of the person to let him see if he looks like a human being.If the person answers that it is like it, the monster can continue to practice. If the person says it is not, then the monster is tantamount to being denied, and no matter how hard it is to practice, it will be difficult to achieve positive results.

It is also said that when the snake demon wants to transform into a dragon, there needs to be a human witness next to it, which is also a kind of "seal".Generally speaking, it is a very important ritual that humans act on monsters.

He thought of Mu Man who would do whatever it takes to be free, but in the end guarded Su Shan and refused to leave, and recalled the white figure he had glimpsed in the memory of the snake.The life of the transformed snake and remnant soul was short and fleeting, perhaps what he wanted was nothing more than an acknowledgment and a seal of approval.

"As long as the mountain and sea beasts escaped from the mountain and sea world, as long as they have no problems with their brains, they will never hurt the person who brought them out—even the most vicious monster." Yiji Youyou said, "Even we will For this reason, try your best to restrain yourself... After all, no one wants to live up to their own integrity."

Liao Qingshu seemed to understand something: "Is that why you rejected the tutor?"

Shiji raised his eyelids and looked at him: "You know?"

"The exorcist told me." Liao Qingshu said, "They are chasing the snakes...the beasts here are said to have rejected their mentors."

"Really? I don't know. I don't have any contact with them. I'm only familiar with the dog. When we went to New Oriental, I was in charge of lighting the fire and he was in charge of eating."

"..." Liao Qingshu choked for a moment, and asked again, "Then that mentor, is it..."

Immediately asked back: "Have you seen the dog?"

"Ah."

"Then what else do you think I can say." Yiji smiled wryly, "For the same curse, the most I can tell you is that that guy is just a bastard."

"Huh?" Liao Qingshu was taken aback.

"He's a bastard." Yiji repeated it word by word, and suddenly got up, "That's all I can say. Let's stop talking, I'm going to spend time with my wife."

Immediately got up, stepped into the darkness, suddenly turned his head as if remembering something, his red eyes glowed in the darkness: "By the way, you said earlier that the exorcist is here too?"

Liao Qingshu nodded.

"What are they here for? They can't come to save us monsters, can they?"

Liao Qingshu replied honestly: "They said that the snake killed an exorcist."

"Nervous." Yiji snorted, "The snake can't kill people. They made a mistake."

Liao Qingshu: "..."

He turned around and left, in the vast darkness, Liao Qingshu was the only one left.He sat with his knees hugged in the darkness. He couldn't tell the difference between the south, the north, and the north, and he couldn't feel the passage of time. He just silently listened to the lively voices of the mountain and sea beasts, which were distant and vague, as if separated by a whole world.

Darkness nourishes the cold, and even more nourishes the mind.He sat alone, letting his thoughts run wildly all over the street, thinking about Jiufang Ziyan and the Shanguan Office for a while, Zhuo Xi and his mentor for a while, and thinking about what Qiao Xiren said to himself, the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he felt. Head grows grass.

The PHS in his hand vibrated suddenly, Liao Qingshu was startled, and quickly picked up the phone: "Hello?"

"Hey what?" Jiufang Ziyan's deep voice rang in his ears, "How is your situation?"

"It's dark inside, you can't see anything..." Liao Qingshu was halfway through the description, when Jiufang Ziyan interrupted impatiently, "I didn't ask you this! I asked you how those mountain and sea beasts are doing?"

Liao Qingshu glanced into the distance, then walked a few steps outside silently, lest the other party hear something that shouldn't be heard. "Steady." He said without changing his face, "They are in a good mood now."

"Such a high psychological quality?" Jiufang Ziyan seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then said, "It's good to be emotionally stable. I'm afraid they will mess up."

"Hmm." Liao Qingshu nodded, and asked again, "How about you? How is it going now?"

"Success." Jiufang Ziyan said concisely.When he said this, Liao Qingshu didn't know what to say. She said "ah" in embarrassment, and said, "It's fine...it's fine. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first?"

"Wait." Jiufang Ziyan called to stop him, "You... how's the situation over there?"

"???" Liao Qingshu was confused, and replied, "Didn't you say that? The mountain and sea beasts are all in good condition..."

"I didn't ask them." Jiufang Ziyan said, "Ask you."

"I..." Liao Qingshu hesitated, "I'm fine too."

Jiufang Ziyan didn't speak.There was a clear breathing sound from the other end of the phone.

"A little boring." Liao Qingshu waited for a while, seeing that Jiufang Ziyan didn't intend to hang up, so he had to add, "A little uneasy. It's too dark here."

"You're so grown up, you're still afraid of the dark." Jiufang Ziyan said bluntly.Liao Qingshu silently rolled her eyes, what the hell is this guy doing here?

The conversation is interrupted again.Liao Qingshu was hesitant to hang up the phone on her own initiative, but she was still a little bit reluctant after thinking about it, and after a little deliberation, she asked, "Speaking of... are you okay?"

"What the hell?"

"That's...that half-demon Qiongqi, Zhuoxi..." Liao Qingshu said, "Teacher Qiao said that he might have something to do with the mentor and the snake."

"Oh." Jiufang Ziyan said calmly, "It's okay. I'm not afraid, and neither are you."

"I'm not afraid." Liao Qingshu muttered, and found that there was silence between the two of them again.Why didn't Jiufang Ziyan hang up the phone?

"Hmm..." He continued to search for topics, and asked the original question in a different way, "How is the snake now?"

Fortunately, Jiufang Ziyan didn't say "smooth" this time and just muddled things along. "He's already at the villa. We're waiting for someone to meet him," he replied.

"Are you nearby?" Liao Qingshu said happily, "Where are you?"

"There is a cherry blossom forest behind Zhuoxi's villa. Most people are here. I am too."

"So good? Cherry blossom forest... I want to see cherry blossoms too."

"You pig head!" Jiufang Ziyan said, "Where do you get the cherry blossoms in this season?"

"That's all I said." Liao Qingshu complained, "I can't see anything now, why don't I think about it?"

Jiufang Ziyan made a "cut", and the conversation came to an abrupt end again, only the breathing of the two remaining people spread in the radio waves.After a while, Liao Qingshu finally couldn't help asking: "Is there anything else?"

Jiufang Ziyan: "It's okay."

"Then why didn't you hang up?"

Jiufang Ziyan: "Didn't you say you are afraid of the dark?"

"???" Liao Qingshu didn't react for a while, and said stupidly, "I didn't say it, you said it."

"..." Jiufang Ziyan's breathing became a little rougher.

Liao Qingshu blinked, and finally turned her head around, and hurriedly said: "...well, I mean, thank you! Really! Thank you very much! I am very touched!"

"Thank you!" Jiufang Ziyan gritted his teeth, "Leave you alone!"

"Jiufang, don't be like this." Liao Qingshu couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "I was wrong...I'm really touched, really."

"I don't care about you!" Jiufang Ziyan repeated emphatically, "I'll hang up the phone right now... Hey! Muman! You're enough!" He turned his head to Shengmu Mandui who was not far away Roaring, "I came here to monitor the situation, why are you smirking at me!"

Mu Man didn't answer, and while sticking a leaf to his ear, he laughed so hard at Jiufang Ziyan that he fell down.Jiufang Ziyan didn't understand why he was smiling, holding the phone with a sullen face.Qiao Xiren came over dragging his long sword, followed by Fang Zheyi: "Is something wrong?"

"It's okay." Jiufang Ziyan shook the phone at him, "Liao Qingshu said the situation inside is very good."

"It's more than good." Muman's shoulders couldn't help shaking, "It's simply the great harmony of life!"

The expressions of the dozen or so exorcists present immediately became strange.

"...It's fine." Qiao Xiren, who also wandered off, supported his forehead and said, "Then Qingshu...huh? Jiufang, you haven't hung up the phone yet."

"Can't hang up. He's afraid of the dark." Jiufang Ziyan said, and put the phone back to his ear. Fang Zheyi gave him a funny look, and held the long sword in front of his chest: "There is no one who meets the snake yet. Come. Do you still want to wait?"

"Of course we have to wait." Jiufang Ziyan squinted at Liao Qingshu while talking on the phone, "The snake was just used as a gun. If you don't arrest people, what's the use of just picking up a gun?"

Fang Zheyi looked at Qiao Xiren inquiringly, and Qiao Xiren nodded: "Wait."

"I don't care who you want to arrest." Muman frowned, "Don't hurt the senior."

"It won't hurt him, this is not a problem." Qiao Xiren said, turning his head to look at the villa, "The only problem now is, when will that person show up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiufang Ziyan suddenly frowned, looked up at the villa, slowly put down the hand holding the phone, and said sharply: "Maybe, he has already appeared."

"What?" Fang Zheyi asked.

"He's here." Jiufang Ziyan's voice was cold, as if filled with crushed ice, "I can feel him."

Absolutely unmistakable, this breath - like a nightmare, like a curse, the breath deeply engraved in his memory.

"Sure enough it's him—Qingqi half-demon, Zhuoxi!"

At the same time, in the villa.

Hua Snake stood in the dusty bedroom on the second floor, his hand on the pouch was clenched tightly, his golden snake eyes were upside down, and he stared vigilantly at the floor-to-ceiling mirror in front of him.

What was reflected in the mirror was not his appearance, but a strange figure, gradually growing from small to large, as if someone was gradually approaching from a distance.

The surface of the mirror was rippling like water, a pair of snow-white wings first stretched out from the mirror, followed by a head with messy hair, and its neck stretched upwards, like a dying swan.

The tearing and breakthrough of the mirror continued, and soon, a complete person stood in front of him—although in terms of image, this person may not be considered a person.

The huge white wings converged behind him, forming a strong contrast with the thin body.The young man in front of him has a pale complexion and a delicate face, coupled with holy wings, it is easy to make people think of an angel, but the white to almost transparent skin is covered with black spots, making this holy It felt weird all of a sudden.

Not to mention the one horn on his forehead, and a shriveled, fist-sized Qiongqi head hanging on his fair neck.

"Long time no see, Mr. Hua Snake—well, it's not too long. To be honest, your movements are much faster than I imagined." The young man smiled at Hua Snake, and stretched out his hand to him, "Now, please put Give me what you have."

Hua Snake stared blankly at the young man in front of him, shook his head and said, "This is different from what we agreed."

"Hey, isn't it the same?" The boy blinked innocently, nodded his chin and pretended to recall seriously, "No, isn't it. Wasn't the agreement at that time 'let these disaster beasts go to a place more suitable for them'? Snake Lord, have you misunderstood something?"

The snake frowned, and took a step back slightly.After a while, he shifted his gaze to the back of the young man—several pitch-black snake necks emerged from the mirror one after another. On the snake necks were ferocious bird heads, with red light shining in the pupils, and his sharp eyes swept towards Hua. snake.

A gigantic crocodile.

The snake's brows frowned even tighter.He is a snake, and the powerful monster bird is his natural enemy.The presence of the girl bird made him feel very uncomfortable.

"No." He pressed the bag tightly against his body, "They... have to take it back."

"Where do you bring it back, Shanhaijie?" The young man tilted his head with interest, looking very innocent, "That's great, Shanhaijie—I've been to that place before, it's really a good place , simple, pure, just like Xanadu. I was almost able to live there forever, but what a pity, I lost that chance."

He approached the snake and looked up at him with a faint golden light in his eyes: "Since then, I can't get in again. No matter how hard I try to dream, I can't get in again. Why?"

The snake looked at him quietly.If his emotions were a little fuller, he would probably find it a little ironic.That is the world of mountains and seas, a cage where countless mountain and sea beasts sharpen their heads and want to escape. In the eyes of others, it has become a paradise.

But now, he only felt the danger instinctively, and there seemed to be hidden blades in the air around him.

"Only people and gods go in." He said to the young man, "Those who are predestined."

And the young man in front of him, in his opinion, obviously no longer belonged to the category of human beings.

"I think so." The young man pouted helplessly, "But, you can do it too, right? You are a remnant soul with self-awareness, and your power is enough to call the main body far away in the mountains and seas... As long as you want, you can You can bring me in, can't you? It's like taking those beasts."

"No." The snake shook his head resolutely.Just like mountain and sea beasts do not belong to the human world, half-monsters do not belong to the world of mountains and seas.To have too many involvements despite having no predestined relationship will only lead to endless disasters.

"The answer is really firm." The young man covered his chest in pain, a look of frustration flashed across his face, he pretended to wipe his face, his eyes turned cold again in an instant, "but if this is the case, we have nothing to talk about gone."

He stretched out his hand suddenly, and the wide wings on one side spread out suddenly, and a wind blade was raised, hitting the snake's right hand fiercely.The snake itself is not afraid of pain, but it feels sorry for the body it is attached to. When it sees an attack, its first reaction is to dodge, but the other wing of the young man is quietly opened at this time, and a feather flitted across the snake's right wrist lightly. .

When the snake reacted, his right hand had been cut off from the wrist.It was as if a slow motion had been cut suddenly in front of him. He watched in disbelief as the palm fell to the ground, and it bounced slightly because of the impact. His five fingers were still tightly clutching the pocket, completely unaware of the fact that he had already left his body.

"The Calamity Beast's talent is amazing. It would be a pity to just take it away. And if it escapes again, it will be very difficult for me." The young man strolled over, bent down to pick up the hand, and lifted the bag from his curled fingers. The tip was pulled out, and then he put his severed hand on the tip of his nose and sniffed, shaking his head regretfully: "It's a pity. If it is not possessed, it must be delicious."

He raised his head and smiled at the surprised snake, and casually threw his severed hand on the ground: "If you can eat people, it's better to eat the meat and soul. If the soul is not clear, eating meat is not interesting." —Of course, this is just my personal experience.”

He turned around and left with the dog bag in hand, then walked towards the mirror and said, "You can try it next time—if you have a next time."

There was a turbulent water vapor and the sound of flapping wings behind him. He turned his head and saw the snake neck of the guhuo bird, which was using its two heads to stop the snake that wanted to pounce on it.The boy raised his index finger in front of his lips, turned his head and caressed the smooth mirror surface: "Get him done, Gu Huo."

The huge demon bird moved its red eyes, and gave him a cold look, as if dissatisfied with his tone, there was even a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, but the snake neck wrapped around the snake was even more forceful, A sharp beak suddenly pecked at the top of the snake's body, and a faint shadow appeared in that direction, with blue scales and spread wings faintly visible.Gu Huo's peck was aimed at the eyes of his soul body. The green snake avoided it like lightning, and turned its head to show its snake teeth at Gu Huo Bird.

The stagnant water spread rapidly on the floor, the boy frowned when he saw this, and just as he was about to step into the mirror, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang inappropriately.He cursed secretly, retracted his feet again, and took out his mobile phone angrily: "Hello?"
