beauty and the beast

Bai Yin looked at Shi Gui in disbelief. Although he was well-informed, no matter if he was a human cultivator, a demon cultivator or even a ghost cultivator, the pursuit of immortality was actually a path to eternal life.

wanna die?This is a word he has never heard in his more than 2000 years.What he heard more was, I can't die, I'm unwilling.

Because there is desire, so will struggle.Is this hopelessness?

Before Bai Yin could speak, he heard Zhang Lie ask first, "Why? Isn't it good to live?" His voice was clear and crisp, completely in contrast to Shi Gui's old voice, as if this man and a monster treat life now. manner.

"Not good." Shi Gui was also calm. Maybe it's been too long, and the edges and corners of his body have been washed away, making his temper look gentle and harmless. He didn't care about the offense of a junior like Zhang Lie at all, and replied, "It's so lonely, no matter how the seasons change or the years change, I'm the only one, I've waited for him for too long..." His voice was sad, "I can't wait any longer."

Is there a story?

Zhang Lie couldn't help but exchanged glances with Bai Yin. Bai Yin looked at Shi Gui and obviously had a good impression of Zhang Lie, so he motioned for him to continue asking.

Zhang Lie was also quite curious, "Have you made an appointment to meet here?"

"It doesn't count." Shi Gui smiled wryly, "When we met, this world was not like this. There were not so many human beings, and there were monster races everywhere..."

As soon as he said this, Zhang Lie was taken aback. He remembered the story of the Tongtian Tower that Bai Yin told him. He said that in the prehistoric period, human beings coexisted with the monster race. This is a big monster from the prehistoric period. ?

"How long ago are you talking about?" Zhang Lie couldn't help interrupting him and asked.

"It's been a long time, so long that I can't count the days," Shi Gui said with a sigh, "I've been here for too long, I can't count the years."

But obviously, he was too lonely. Even if Zhang Lie interrupted him, he was still very interested in talking. Even if no one asked him the story, he couldn't help but say, "At that time, I was a newly transformed Little demon, he went out alone, because his mana is weak, so he suffered a lot."

He slowly explained, "At that time, there were no rules. Demons and humans lived together. Demons can kill people, and humans can kill demons. Of course, big demons can also kill small demons. I am an incompetent demon, and I am lonely. A single one is an easy target for them."

"As for why? It depends on their thoughts. The human race will be afraid that you will hurt them, so they will act first. Of course, some powerful humans will also hunt and kill demons in exchange for money. There are many reasons for the demon race. , I don’t like you, I think you offended him, I like everything about you, or I just think you will be delicious.”

"The biggest crisis I encountered was in the second year when I went out to fight. At that time, I was also a demon with some experience, and I was very good at identifying dangers. I was considered a veteran. But that time, I was careless. Before I rushed On the way to Leicheng, a beautiful little girl was captured by a group of humans, she was a mouse spirit with big talking eyes, she probably just came of age."

"When I passed by, she had been tied up by angry villagers. The villagers didn't find me. It was probably the instinct of the monster race. She found me. She kept looking at the place where I was hiding, and looked at me with her eyes. I call for help."

"At that time, it was so normal for demons or people to live and die. The only thing everyone could guarantee was to live on their own. She was also a demon, but was caught by humans. Obviously, those humans had something that could deal with it. The treasure of the demon clan, I am an ordinary little demon, how can I deal with it?"

"I became cruel, so I hid there, ignored her plea for help, and prepared to leave after they left. Then," he sighed, "humans began to punish her. They whipped her and tortured her. Someone actually tore her clothes. At that time, the sky was very high, and there were many, many stars in the sky. I looked at the starry sky at night, and I could hear her screams in my ears. She tore her throat and cried, please , kill me, please!"

"Probably, demons are also born with blood, even if I am a turtle. At that moment, I finally couldn't hold back and stood up. I shouted at the humans and let her go! But the humans laughed, and I was in front of them. Seeing such a gaze in my eyes, I subconsciously wanted to run, but it was too late, a huge golden net covered me, making me unable to struggle."

"I was wrapped up in a net like a prey. A respectable person among them looked at me and said, it's not bad, it's a tortoise at the moment, it can be sent to Leicheng for them to use for divination, and it's worth it Money. They sent me to a small room, where three or four little demons were locked up, and they were all tied up with golden nets."

"That's when I realized that I was cheated. They were using that girl as a bait to catch the demon. She lied to me too. I was very angry, but it didn't work, the golden net was the most powerful I've ever seen I had no way to struggle to get away from the bound weapon. I could only lie on the ground like a dead turtle. Later, a few more demons were brought over, and the girl was brought into the small room together. , the human beings who followed still held the Demon Slayer Knife in their hands."

"They are indeed planning to kill us, and then transport them to Leicheng in exchange for property. Amid the begging for mercy, there are fewer and fewer demons in the room. When the demon-slaying knife stained with demon blood was placed on my neck, I thought, this game is over, my demon life is over like this. As a result, at this moment, he came."

Speaking of this, Shi Gui's flat voice without any waves also became ups and downs, "He is very powerful, almost defeated the group of humans in a few hits, in a rain of blood, he saved me, of course, he also saved that Girl. He said his name was Pei, and when he passed by, he heard those monsters calling for help, so he rushed over, but unfortunately it was too late. He also asked us if we should go on the road with him. "

"Of course I agree. He is the most powerful and kindest demon I have ever seen." Shi Gui fell into memories again as he spoke, "He is capable and knowledgeable. I haven’t experienced a big danger anymore, he can always solve it before. He is like a big brother, protecting me all the time, always saying, Nan, you are so stupid, how can I let go? I'll let you down."

"Of course," his voice was suddenly filled with loneliness again, "the girl who was rescued with us also followed us, her name is Yu. She always answered, then we will take good care of Nan. Pei will agree. "

"Have we wandered together for 100 years? 200 years? Or 500 years? I can't remember. Walking alone on this continent, as long as I don't cause trouble, no one or monster can hurt me. Moreover, I think it's time for me to leave."

Shi Gui chuckled, "Because Yu secretly told me that they were going to be together. They wanted to find a quiet place to build a cave, and they might not be able to wander around again in the future. They needed to settle down. I only remember the special Lost, but I am no longer that fledgling little demon, I will not ask rashly, I just wait. Sure enough, Pei stayed by the Nanxi River, and Pei chose a cave in the Nanxi River, Pei said , he wants to stay here. He still asks if I want to?"

"What can I say. Although it is something I never want to be separated from him, it seems that I am really not fit to stay any longer. Even Yu said that I should have my own life. I told Pei that I am more I like to wander around, and I am not a person who can settle down. I will come to see him in the future. Pei looked very sad, but he didn't stop me, he just told me that he was waiting by the Nanxi River, waiting for my return. "

"Since then, I have traveled many places alone. I often miss him and want to go back to Nanxi River to see him. Unfortunately, there are delays every time. Until many years later, I saw him again in Leicheng Yu, she actually became the wife of the city lord of Leicheng. I couldn't believe it, so I asked her why she didn't follow Pei? Aren't you with Pei? Aren't you in Nanxi River?"

"Yu told me that I lied to you. Pei likes you, but you don't understand. I thought that without you, enough company would make us together. Unfortunately, he still can't see me."

"It's only now that I know that those are all Yu's lies. Yes, Yu is very good at deceiving people, including that year when she knew that she was a bait, but she still deceived us little monsters. Although she had no choice but to, But she really lied."

"I suddenly realized why I cared about Pei so much, and why I left without hesitation after knowing that Pei was going to be with Yu, because I liked him. I finally understood why Pei was a harrier, Yu, a mouse, would choose the bottom of the river to build a cave. It was built for me. I left Leicheng in a hurry and went straight to the Nanxi River, just to tell Pei as quickly as possible, I am here, I understand coming."

"It's a pity that it's too late. The cave is still there, but Pei is nowhere to be found." Shi Gui's voice was full of sadness, "There is a thick layer of dust in the cave. I asked the neighbors around, and they all said it was early. It disappeared. I walked for many years and started looking for him. Some people said he was dead, some people said he was living somewhere. I went there, but I never found it again. So many places, so many demons, no There is him in every place, but there is no monster like him. Later, I could only go back to the Nanxi River and wait for him, I thought, he said he would wait for me to come back, he will come back after all.”

At this point, Shi Gui couldn't help crying, "It's a pity, I have been waiting for him by the cave for so many years, so many years, my body is covered with dust, the dust formed into stones, and the stones fell off and turned into stones." Shi Gui, but he still hasn’t come back. I think, he might really be gone, I miss him so much, I should go to be with him, I should have done so a long time ago.”
