Is Zongyingmei superhero raising monsters today?

In the endless desert and the scorching sun, two lost travelers faltered.

Of course this is what it looks like on the surface, but in reality...

"What is this?" Tony picked off the green lotus pods by the lotus pond. He seemed to have discovered something novel, and he picked out the green lotus seeds.

"This is lotus seed. You can eat it directly after removing the green shell. It is also a traditional Chinese medicine. It has the effect of nourishing the spleen, stopping diarrhea, nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, but..."

"It's so bitter." Tony swallowed the bitter lotus seeds in his mouth with a bitter face, and quickly picked up the lotus tea made by the alfalfa beside him and drank it down, hoping to wash away the lingering bitterness in his mouth.

Clover smiled helplessly, "But raw lotus seeds will be very bitter if taken directly, because of the lotus core in the middle." She picked up the lotus pod, opened another lotus seed, gently pinched it open, and squeezed the small lotus seed inside. The lotus core is removed.

She handed the lotus seeds to Tony again, "Try it now, it won't be bitter."

Tony was skeptical, but he still didn't refuse. He put the lotus seeds into his mouth as if he was facing an enemy, and chewed carefully.The lotus seeds without the lotus core do not have that bitter taste, only a touch of sweetness.

"Ethan, try it too." Alfalfa took the lotus pod from the bird's beak and handed it to Ethan, "It's not painful to remove the lotus seed, but it also loses a lot. Part of the medicinal value."

"The lotus seed core is cold in nature and bitter in taste, which has the effect of clearing the heart, dispelling heat, and calming the nerves. Walking in the desert like you, it is actually very good to eat some lotus seeds." Alfalfa pushed aside a lotus seed and put it in his mouth. He ate the uncored lotus seeds without changing his expression.

Tony inexplicably aroused his unwillingness to admit defeat, and ate a lotus seed like alfalfa.

"Is this the traditional Chinese medicine of the flower planters? It turns out that the humble lotus seeds also have different effects." Ethan said curiously.

"If you are good at observing things in life, you will find that many things have their value." Clover picked up the lotus leaf tea and took a sip.

"The lotus leaf in the tea can cool off the heat, the lotus flower can protect the skin and nourish the skin, and the honey can moisturize dryness, relieve pain, and detoxify. They are all in this cup of tea, do what you can do." She looked at Tony and raised the tea in her hand , After signaling to him, he drank it all in one gulp.

--split line--

At night, the cool night wind blows over the blooming lotus, sending a delicate fragrance.

Alfalfa lay on the grass by the bank, admiring the stars at night.There were footsteps in her ears, and she turned her head to see that Tony was lying on the grass following her example.

"What you said this afternoon..." Tony fell silent and didn't know what to say, what to ask, whether she was comforting him, and whether he should thank him for it.

"Look, isn't the night sky beautiful tonight?" Clover thoughtfully changed the subject.

Tony looked up as he said, the night sky here is pure dark blue, dotted with stars in the night, and the silvery white crescent hangs shyly in the night sky, implicitly releasing its own light.

The night is as cool as water, and the stars are as bright as night.This is indeed the most beautiful night sky he has ever seen, even on Mabry Hill, there is no such intoxicating night scene.

"This is the night view of my hometown. How about it? Isn't it beautiful?" Clover stretched out his right hand and held it in the air.Fireflies shimmered from the grass, and green fireflies shimmered in the night sky.

Tony opened his eyes slightly, the pale green fireflies and the silver-white stars complement each other, forming a different scene with every movement.

"I remember you telling me that your hometown is in the illusion created by Kaguya Hime and Unwaijing." Tony recalled that in that cave, Kawakimaki had briefly mentioned his hometown.

"Yes." Alfalfa showed a nostalgic look, "Penglai is a beautiful place, most of it is covered by trees and flowers, where you can smell the unknown fragrance of flowers and grass from the air."

"In Penglai, you can see many different forests, maple forests, peach forests, cherry forests, and a large bamboo forest. So, when I first came here, I was shocked. All I saw were tall buildings. , Vehicles shuttle here, like a cold steel forest, full of breath that repels people thousands of miles away."

"That's right, living in the forest has a special artistic conception." It's like he built his own villa on the cliff by the sea, away from the noisy city.

"Although it is beautiful, you have to be careful when setting foot in different woods. Ghosts have a strong sense of territory. It is very dangerous to accidentally intrude into other people's territory. If you encounter a gentle ghost, you can still survive. , As for the ghost who must take revenge..." Mu Zi didn't finish speaking, but Tony felt her unfinished meaning.

"As for me, my favorite is the bamboo forest in Penglaili. Kaguya Hime also lives there. When the night comes, everyone will hold some small activities to spend their time."

"You will see the lantern ghost lighting up the bamboo forest, the little monsters will have dinner here, and the little butterfly will dance for everyone, as will Tao and Sakura, and their duet dance is beautiful. If you are lucky enough, occasionally you can see Mai Shiranui, She is the most beautiful dancer. They are sometimes accompanied by unknown flute sounds, and sometimes elegant piano sounds. Everyone is very happy there."

"We are no longer involved in the wars of the gods, or the selfish desires of human beings." Clover said softly.

"It sounds like you're biased against humans?" Tony said.Huaniaojuan has always acted gentle and harmless, but if she also has bad thoughts towards human beings like this, he can hardly imagine the attitude of other ghosts towards human beings.

"Have you ever heard of the Genji family in the Neon Country? They were famous onmyojis at the time, and Minamoto Raimitsu was the most ambitious of the several patriarchs. He believed that ghosts were lowly existences, and created them with taboo techniques. Looking at the ghosts that obey his will, he calls them the ghost army."

"Creation?" Isn't control, use but creation?

"Well, creation. They can no longer be called ghosts. They have no independent consciousness and cannot control their own behavior. They are weapons, weapons created by ghosts as the cornerstone." Clover's expression is dim, "Humans usually think Comparing yourself with ghosts, you are the most dangerous side. But this theory is only applicable to the big monsters who deter one side, and the weak little monsters are easily captured by humans and used as their experimental products."

Tony's expression was a little dignified, Clover knew what he was thinking.Probably because of the guilt of human beings for the crimes committed by ghosts, and the worry about whether ghosts will retaliate against humans.

"Don't show such an expression." Clover lightly held his rough hands, "Although there are indeed demons who hate humans, most of them are good children. As long as you don't hurt them, they are I won’t take the initiative to attack. Besides, we are all living in Penglai now, and we can’t get out, accidents like mine should be very rare.”

"Then you, do you belong to the category that hates humans?" Tony asked.

"Huh? I just occasionally find it difficult to agree with the extreme actions of humans. After all, I was created by a talented painter. I was born from human emotions for nature, so I don't actually hate humans. It's just that Sometimes I feel that human life is really short and fragile.”

Clover's last words reminded Tony of what Ethan had said to him in the desert during the day, about humans and ghosts. "So, when are you going to go back?" Tony said suddenly.

"Eh? Is the master driving me away?" Clover said aggrievedly, "Did I do something wrong?"

The girl's pitiful eyes made Tony a little overwhelmed, "I said before, don't use such words that make people think about it. As for driving you away... If you want to stay, I will leave you a room .”

Tony's last words were almost whispering, if it weren't for the ghost's keen hearing, Clover might not have heard what he said clearly.She almost laughed out loud when she saw Tony look away uncomfortably.How could Tony Stark be so arrogant?

"Okay, then when we go out from this place, the master will take me in for a while." She bent her eyes and smiled playfully.

That's what they said, but both of them knew in their hearts that the so-called shelter was only temporary.Huaniaojuan will not stay by Tony's side forever, because she still has her hometown she is nostalgic for.

"After talking for so long, it's time for you to go to bed. Staying up late is very harmful to the human body." Clover urged, "You have to get up early tomorrow, and if you stay in bed by then, Yi Mr. Sen will be rude."

"I see, you look more and more like Pepper." Tony complained in a low voice, then turned and walked towards the resting place.

After confirming that Tony was far away, Tuantuan said in his mind, 【I have to praise your ability to make up a story, it is a vivid description of a place where ghosts live. 】

[Stupid Tuantuan, if you have time, learn more about the background of the demon spirits of the Time Gap. Although some of them are fabricated, most of them are based on their own stories. 】Clover feels a headache about his family's somewhat silly and sweet system.

[You also know that the system has to learn too many things every day. Who would memorize such insignificant things every day? There are more than 100 demon spirits in the Time Gap. Read each of them carefully. My memory Regions will not be enough. 】Tuantuan licked his little claws as if nothing had happened.

Forget it, Clover doesn't want to bother with this silly cat at all, [I've basically perfected Tony's world view on ghosts this time, we have to proceed step by step, and we will further improve this world view when we enter next time.After the preliminary observation, the next time of appearance should be directly selected, right? 】

[Not sure, many things in this pioneering world are unknown, maybe you choose that time point, and then suddenly jump to another time point, these are all possible.It is because of this uncertainty that land reclamation is very dangerous, but the benefits are also the highest in the time gap.When the land reclamation is over, you will be a little rich woman, Clover~]

[If I really become a rich woman, I will also enjoy Tony's decadent life and be a salted fish without turning over. 】

The author has something to say: Little Theater

Rhodes: Long time no see, it's been a really hard time...

(Clean and refreshed, Tony greets him.)

Rhodes: You agreed to be tortured, isn't this a trip, and fell.
