The daily life of the retired devil

Demon Realm, Kou Jing.

This is a character who will lead countless monsters into the human world in decades, and then influence the entire human world by controlling the emperor's court in the human world.

For Mo Yu, this Kou Jing is a well-deserved hero!

However, times and heroes complement each other.

Now the time has not yet come, and the hero has not crossed that dragon gate, and stands out from more than 100 "young masters" to become the master of the demon domain. Therefore, when the real dragon god came to him, the current master of the demon domain did not even think about exceeding After ten breaths, he cleanly shirked the responsibility completely, and at the same time offered this "young master" in order to appease the dragon god's anger.

History is quietly changing at this moment.

The cage master who imprisoned Ning Xuancheng for nearly a hundred years is now nothing but Xie Feiyan's prisoner.

At this moment, when he saw Kou Jing's young, unwilling and unbelievable face, Xie Feiyan felt a little joy in his heart - this is the emotion of the original owner Ning Xuancheng.

Xie Feiyan once again understood Ning Xuancheng a bit: Although he has a carefree intention, he also has a heart of mortals.

Ning Xuancheng is like a fairy who has been relegated to the world of mortals for experience. If there is no interruption from the group of Qi refiners of Xuantianzong who misunderstand their children, then such a person will either cultivate his "true self" and realize his true self after spending his life in the world of mortals. With supernatural powers, one leaps to become a free and unfettered true immortal who truly jumps out of the five elements, or when one looks back at one's life, one becomes enlightened and instantly becomes a Buddha!

Innate Holy Spirit, that is the case.

But now...

Pity.

Xie Feiyan took one last look at Kou Jing, and suddenly drew his sword, and mercilessly chopped off his head.

And this sword also cut off the last trace of resentment in Ning Xuancheng's heart that he didn't even notice.

Xie Feiyan heaved a long sigh, maybe it was because of Ning Xuancheng, or maybe not.

He left the Demon Realm and discarded the "past" together with Kou Jing's body in this dirty place. After that, he turned his head to look at Shen Cijing and said with a smile: "Next, Ah Jing wants to go back to Dragon Palace to sleep ?”

Lethargy is normal for juvenile dragons.

Not to mention those aquariums in the Dragon Palace, even Xie Feiyan felt sorry for this little cutie who woke up too early and slept too little.

After Shen Cijing heard this, he just shook his head: "I won't sleep anymore. I just took a nap, and Ah Fei left the Dragon Palace to play in the world by himself. If I really slept, Ah Fei would not know what to do after waking up." How many friends did you make?"

The sour words made Xie Feiyan laugh.

"It doesn't matter how many people you know, they can't compare to you, Ah Jing!" Xie Feiyan comforted him with kind words.

But Shen Cijing still shook his head: "I want to go and see this world with Ah Fei."

At this moment, Xie Feiyan showed a faint smile on his face.

"Really? Don't you feel bored?"

"With Ah Fei, how could it be boring?"

Xie Feiyan couldn't help laughing, and finally couldn't hide his smile.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's go together."

Let's take a look at this world together, and see this vast and boundless world.

In the following hundreds of years, Xie Feiyan has been traveling the world with Shen Cijing, leaving one story after another in the world.

They once guarded the crumbling human towns under the attack of plague ghosts, and wiped out the human bandits who bullied the monsters; they have witnessed the prosperous dynasty of all nations, and they have also witnessed the rebels cutting off the head of the emperor; I have seen the thriving market of Qi refiners, and I have seen the glare of the infinite universe; they have even been involved in the invasion of the human world by demons and ghosts, and they have also acted to stabilize Yin and Yang under the plea of ​​a group of Qi refiners. two worlds...

They traveled to many places and left behind many legends. In the end, when the two traveled all over the thirteen regions of Kyushu and returned to the junction of Wuji Qiongzhou and Yunmengze, it was already 200 years later.

At this time, the once scattered small villages along the coast of Yunmengze disappeared, replaced by a huge city and avenues surrounding Haiping City.

The two looked at Haiping City, which looked very different from 200 years ago, and entered the city curiously, ready to experience it for a while, but when they passed by the teahouse, Xie Feiyan heard a name they had not seen for many years-Lin Chengshuang.

"...At this moment, the evil wind suddenly picked up, the fire in the temple was extinguished suddenly, and the sound of howling ghosts could be heard all around! Everyone in the temple was terrified and huddled together, almost screaming, only Lin Gong Without fear, he shouted loudly and said, "As the saying goes, you are a visitor from afar. We come from all over the world. We pass by this temple to rest. We also pay more visits to the gods in the temple and pay more respect. There must be no fault! The Lord of the Earth saw us coming to the temple, and he didn't want to entertain us, but instead threatened us, what's the reason?'"

"Amidst the evil wind, a voice wondered, 'Aren't you afraid of me?'"

"Duke Lin laughed and said, 'I am sitting upright in what I do, and I am not ashamed of what I have done in my life. Why should I be afraid of you?'"

"The evil wind asked again, 'Who are you?'"

"Lin Gongdao, 'If you don't change your name or surname when you go down, so does Lin Chengshuang!'"

"..."

Xie Feiyan's ears twitched, he was slightly taken aback, and from the bottom of his heart, he dug up the deeds about the time traveler and Yangou many years ago.

Lord Lin?Lin Chengshuang?

Is it a name hit, or...

Xie Feiyan was filled with endless curiosity about the story of the storyteller in the teahouse. He grabbed the reluctant Shen Cijing, entered the teahouse, and asked Dr. Tea for two cups of tea, as if he was determined to finish listening.

Shen Cijing was angry and a little sour. Although he sat down calmly, he drank the two cups of tea in front of him in a fit of anger, without even vomiting the tea leaves.

After Xie Feiyan took a funny look at Shen Cijing, he concentrated on the storyteller's story.

After a while, when the storyteller had finished speaking for a round and stepped down to drink tea, Xie Feiyan started talking to other guests beside him, and only then did he understand the whole picture of the story.

It turns out that this story is not novel, nor is it original by the storyteller, but is adapted from "Lin Gong's Travel Notes" compiled by a scholar 100 years ago, also known as "Jiuzhou Strange Records".

And the protagonist of this "Strange Records" is Lin Gong, a historically real Taihe king, well-known traveler and writer, Lin Chengshuang.

200 years ago, the prince in brocade clothes and fine clothes did not aspire to the throne, but took off his fine clothes when he was a teenager, and traveled all over the world as a lowly knight-errant at that time, and wrote a book "Lin Chengshuang's Travel Notes" had a great response at that time.

In this travel note, Lin Chengshuang describes his nearly 40 years of travel observations in the form of prose travel notes, and makes detailed records of geography, hydrology, geology, plants and other phenomena, which can be called a wonderful book.

However, this strange book was finally banned by dynasties other than Taihe Kingdom, because this book not only described human stories, but also described a large number of strange stories that were considered unrefined at the time. Spicy, while revealing the truth behind all kinds of tragedies in the world, it also pointedly pointed out some horrific human nature concealed under the gorgeous flowers, which once caused people's uproar.

Therefore, in order to maintain stability and fool the people, the emperors of various countries listed this book as a banned book. If anyone found that there was a private collection or circulation, he would be severely punished, and he even sent a document to Thailand, either explicitly or secretly. Rebuke the royal family of Thailand.

"Lin Chengshuang's Travel Notes" once disappeared.

But ten years later, all this was reversed under the large-scale invasion of demons in the Demon Realm.

In order to survive from the mouths of countless monsters with different habits in the Demon Realm, people found that the habits of monsters described in "Lin Chengshuang's Travel Notes" were all true, so they spontaneously copied and circulated this "Lin Chengshuang's Travel Notes", using the records recorded in the travel notes. Fazi dealt with the monsters and bought himself a lot of time, but it also made the ban on this travel book useless.

Therefore, later on, when the monsters returned to the Demon Realm, the courts of various countries did not bother to ban them anymore, and this travel note was also processed countless times by posterity to form various new stories—commonly known as writing a fan.

And this "Nine Continents Strange Records" written by a talented scholar is just one of the more outstanding colleagues.

After hearing this, Xie Feiyan felt inexplicable emotion in his heart.

A nodding acquaintance who was once in the same business, 200 years later, he actually saw his news and ending from other people's mouths and book records.

Times change, things change and people change, but that's all.

Afterwards, Xie Feiyan went to the library and bought the "Lin Chengshuang's Travel Notes" to see what the traveler wrote.

But unexpectedly, Xie Feiyan saw many familiar stories in this travel note.

"Ying Ning", "Xin Shi Shi Niang", "Lian Suo", "Three Ladies of the Lotus", "Pian Pian", "Painted Skin", "Jiao Na", "Xiao Xie", "Shang San Guan", "Xi Fang Ping" ...

These stories from "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" reappeared in this travelogue after a new look!

why?Is it plagiarism?

This was Xie Feiyan's first reaction.

But in the next second, Xie Feiyan denied this idea again.

There is no other reason—only Xie Feiyan himself had seen the story of "Planting Pears" with his own eyes during the years in the Taisho Dynasty, and he also led the performance of the story of "Stealing Peach".

Therefore, Xie Feiyan has reason to believe that these stories that are suspected to be "stolen" from "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" were actually staged in Wuji Qiongzhou!

But if this is the case, the second question arises again: Why do the ghost stories that are actually staged in this world highly overlap with the ghost stories written by scholars in another world? !

Is this Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou?

It was rare for Xie Feiyan to let the system out of the small dark room and leave this problem to it.

The system secretly patted the potato chips on its hands, and the voice was still a bit vague:

[This can only be said to be the internal convergence of different personality universes...]

"Different personality universes?" Xie Feiyan was curious, after all, it was the first time he heard this term.

【you do not know?That's right, this is your fourth trip to the small world, and it should be the first time you have descended into this kind of crystal wall system universe. It is very rare for you to find that this world is wrong. People who have descended into universes of different personalities only think that there are too many traversers in this universe...]

Because there are too many traversers, many familiar stories appeared in this small world—in fact, Xie Feiyan's early speculation was exactly the case.

After seeing Lin Chengshuang, Xie Feiyan confirmed his guess even more.

However, slowly, as time passed, Xie Feiyan discovered that there were not as many traversers in this world as he had imagined, and it was even more impossible for him to be able to push those real gods and monsters to develop and stage in the direction he wanted... After all , not everyone can create a golden armored soldier like Xie Feiyan.

Therefore, when Xie Feiyan realized how rare and weak the traversers were, he realized the inadequacy of this guess.

【Did you know that this world is actually a 'round sky'? 】

"I know."

In Xie Feiyan's previous cognition, the universe is a vast sea of ​​stars composed of planets. Even if there are various small worlds and demiplanes, they are just pendants mounted outside the planet. The main body of the planet, It is still a spherical planet!

But this world is different——

During these 200 years of traveling, Xie Feiyan discovered that this world has an end.What subverts Xie Feiyan's perception of the universe is that the shape of this world is by no means a spherical planet, but a real "round sky and place"!

And this also explains why this small world is so vast, why this world is bigger than any planet seen in the Xinghai universe!

Even Xie Feiyan found that even if he used the supernatural power of stepping on the clouds and rising up, he still couldn't go through the atmosphere to space!

——This is a place that does not obey the laws of physics of the "planetary universe" at all!

[If the planets in the "Star System Universe" are like countless marbles scattered into a box, then the small worlds in the "Crystal Wall System Universe" are like bubbles in bubble wrap bags—every adjacent Inside the bubble, there is a small world with a round sky. 】

Xie Feiyan nodded suddenly: "I see. So the so-called 'broken void' is actually to open a temporary crystal wall channel to go to another bubble? And the so-called 'Ascension to the Immortal Realm' is far from this crystal wall system. The end of the universe?"

[Yes.Just like you are in the "planetary universe", when you come from one planet to another, it must not be called the "end", but only a "transit station" or "stopping point". 】

Xie Feiyan was thoughtful.

[Want to see what this universe looks like? 】

this universe?

Look?dont see?

Xie Feiyan let out a long sigh of relief: "Of course!"

So, at the next moment, Xie Feiyan's sight was infinitely elevated, and he suddenly passed through some kind of barrier, reached an unimaginable height, and saw a boundless universe!

Just as the system said, the universe of the crystal wall system is like a huge bubble plate. In each of its "bubbles", there is a world with a round sky and a round place. The Thirteenth Continent is just one of many "bubbles" in such a crystal wall system universe.

And in the "bubble" next door to the small world of the Nine Provinces Thirteen Domains, there is another vast world, where there are immortals who come and go, as well as countless monsters with great powers.

——And here is the legendary fairy world!

Xie Feiyan sighed again.

What about the human world, and what about the fairy world?

It's just one of many "bubbles".

How can the vastness of the universe be described by the small "human world" and "immortal world"?

Whether it is the "planet system universe" where Xie Feiyan is located, or the "crystal wall system universe" that came by accident, whenever Xie Feiyan looks up at the starry sky, they are telling Xie Feiyan the insignificance of individuals and even civilizations.

Every doze in the universe is the rise and destruction of countless civilizations, and in such a universe, what are the so-called century-old dynasties, thousand-year immortality, and long-term vision to the universe?

Mayflies live and die at night, and summer insects cannot be described as ice. From the perspective of the universe, human beings are mayflies, and "longevity species" and "immortals" are nothing but summer insects that die in one season.

As vast as the universe is, life is as small as it is.

"But at least..."

But at least in such a vast universe and endless time, he can be with the one he loves.

Xie Feiyan broke away from the grand perspective and returned to the human world.

At this moment, he is still sitting in a guest room in Haiping City, holding the "Lin Chengshuang's Travel Notes" written by his former friend Lin Chengshuang in his hand, and in front of him is Shen Cijing, who rests his chin on his hand and suppresses his jealousy.

Xie Feiyan closed the book, looked at the angry Shen Cijing, and slowly smiled.

Does it matter whether it is a mayfly or a summer bug in the universe?

As long as the two of them are together, it's the end of time.

"Little mirror, do you want to eat tonight?"

Shen Cijing glanced at Xie Feiyan: "Roast chicken."

"it is good."

"...Huh? Can I really eat it?"

"What stupid things are you talking about? I just told you not to just eat roast chicken all the time. When will you not be allowed to eat it?"

The more active and childish Master Longshen suddenly smiled, and even showed his small canine teeth, which made Xie Feiyan who was beside him couldn't help laughing, and his heart itched unbearably.

……

Xie Feiyan has looked at the eternal sea of ​​stars in the sky countless times, but every time he only has appreciation in his eyes, not envy.

Because he has always understood that it is not endless life in this world that is eternal.

This frozen moment full of human fireworks is also enough for eternity.

The author has something to say: I wrote it a little longer, and a little later
