[Seshomaru Doujin] Shenyue

The crescent moon gradually climbed to the middle of the sky, and the thin clouds slowly disappeared. In the silent moonlight, the creaking sound of the carriage slowly moving was very clear.

"Sister Yuelian, look—" Peony was sitting on the rut, looking sideways at the woman in white sitting next to her, pointing in front of her.

Yue Lian looked along, but it was a tall tower pointing to the sky. The body of the tower was pure white, as if shining under the moonlight, but even if she looked up, she couldn't see the towering top of the tower.

"This is the White Pagoda, the center of the City of Blue Falls." Mudan explained, "After all the demons were wiped out, the Lord God ordered people to build this white tower, and the head of the demon god can be suppressed underneath."

"The head of the demon god?" Yue Lian looked at the tall tower again, this originally pure white tower seemed to be shining with a ferocious cold light under Peony's words.

"Yes, so the White Pagoda is solid." Peony drove the car slowly, and the sound of hooves echoed on the street. "It was built back then to prevent the resurrection of the demon god. However, the body of the demon god was taken away by the god They are completely wiped out, even if someone steals the head, it will be useless. So—” After speaking, Mudan paused, and the expression on his face instantly became strange, “The White Tower is more of a symbol now.”

"What does it symbolize?"

"Master Shenming's unparalleled achievements." Mudan seemed unwilling to say more, and changed the subject, "Biluo is centered on the White Pagoda, and the streets are arranged in a chessboard shape. Peach blossoms are planted in the south, and cherry trees are planted in the north. East-west and north-south There are two main streets running through the entire city, bounded by the White Pagoda, named after Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu respectively. Because the palaces of the God Lord and God Queen are in the east, Qinglong Long Street from west to east is also called Qinglong Long Street. The pilgrimage road is the most spacious and magnificent..."

Mudan was still talking, but Yuelian suddenly interrupted her, "What about Suzaku Long Street? Why won't that woman let us go?"

"That's Lord Yao." Mudan frowned, but didn't answer Yuelian's question.

Yue Lian snorted lightly when she heard the words, "I could hear clearly when I was transforming, Lord Ienazaki said she was trying to trick me!"

Peony's hand holding the rein suddenly froze.

"Although I don't know what her idea is, it must not be a good idea! If Master Ienazaki was not present, I would definitely scold her!" Yuelian tilted her head, looking at Mudan's pale complexion, "And she Then you must be a big villain!"

When Mudan heard the words, she smiled silently, and after a while, she only said softly, "Master Yao is a good person."

"She—" Yue Lian was about to say something, when suddenly there was a thick sound of clappers, and the rhythmic sound easily overwhelmed the sound of horses' hooves, spreading through the streets and alleys.

Yue Lian looked towards the road, and saw an old woman with a hunched waist knocking on her clapper, walking step by step from the other end of the street.

"That's the mother-in-law." Peony said, jumped out of the car, dragged Yue Lian down as well, and saluted the old woman together with her.

Yue Lian struggled, but Mu Dan's face was pale, but the strength of her hand at this moment was astonishing.

"Why do I have to salute her?" Yue Lian couldn't get rid of Peony, and asked angrily.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was about to come, Mudan let out a low voice, "Shut up!"

"Hey, Peony, what are you doing so fiercely?" Granny Dageng walked slowly in front of Yuelian, her muddy eyes glanced at the white lotus seal between Yuelian's eyebrows and instantly became clear, "It turns out that the divine power on the brand is Lord God! Let me tell you, how could such an ignorant spirit dare to come out of Suzaku Long Street."

"Who do you think is ignorant?" Yue Lian heard the words, she didn't know where she got the strength to break free from Peony, and glared at her mother-in-law.

"Mother-in-law..." Mudan hurriedly stopped Yue Lian, and hurriedly bowed to apologize, "Yue Lian is a spiritual creature who just took shape today. She doesn't understand any rules, so don't be angry."

"Hey, Peony! Why are you saluting and apologizing to her?" Yue Lian stared at her mother-in-law, her voice was full of anger, "What kind of thing is she!"

"What am I?" Grandma Dageng laughed softly as she spoke, her voice was as ugly as a crow's cry, "Listen well, no matter how low my Dagengma's status is, she is still a god, even if her Mudan is Master Yao Your confidant, no matter how high your status is, you are still a spiritual creature. And you—" Granny Dageng said, hitting Yuelian's head hard with a clapper, "It's the same!"

"You—" Yue Lian was about to explode, but was held back by Mu Dan.

"My mother-in-law taught me that." Mudan lowered her face, her expression gloomy, "Did you hear that? Yue Lian, this is the first lesson you have to learn."

"It's not too bad." Granny Dageng looked at Yue Lian's livid expression with satisfaction, and then laughed fiercely, "But it's just courting death to change form at this time!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yue Lian stretched out her hand and pointed at her mother-in-law's nose.

"It's rude again!" Da Geng's mother-in-law knocked Yue Lian hard again with her clapper, "Have you seen the half-dead state of Peony? Just wait, her today is your tomorrow."

"Mother-in-law!" Peony finally couldn't hold back her voice, her pale face was stained with an abnormal blush, "These peonies will teach Yue Lian, so don't bother mother-in-law."

"What? Don't you have the heart to tell her?" The mother-in-law squinted at Mudan, "Then let me be the villain..."

Just as she was talking, Da Geng's mother-in-law suddenly emitted a faint light.Dageng's mother-in-law looked down at herself and was stunned.

"Grandmother..." Mudan took a step forward, with a look of unbearable expression in her eyes, "You too..."

"Go away! Grandma doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you now!" the mother-in-law said, knocking on the clapper again, her high and low voice seemed to be able to spread throughout the city, "Grandma, I want to finish today's watch. "

Yue Lian was pulled back by Peony, this time she was not very angry, but just strange, "What's the matter with this old woman?"

Seeing Yue Lian's puzzled expression, Mudan hesitated for a moment, but still turned her head, and said, "Just watch. I'll tell you everything later. This is the second lesson you have to learn."

Amidst the sound of clappers, Yue Lian watched the crooked body gradually go away, the moonlight was shining like fire, but the figure gradually became thinner, blending with the moonlight, and from time to time there were fine fluorescent rings swirling up into the night sky, Like stars on the ground.

"Boom-"

The clapper fell to the ground, and the rhythmic sound stopped.

"She..." Looking at the clapper lying on the ground, Yue Lian was so surprised that she could hardly speak.

"She's dead." Peony's expression was calm, and she pulled the carriage aside, "Let's go back. I'll tell you what's going on slowly."

Yue Lian followed behind Mu Dan nervously, the sound of rattling horseshoes and squeaking wheels disturbed her.Peony said that she wanted to tell her everything, but she took the rein with her hand, and just walked ahead silently, without saying a word.

"Yuelian, do you know why spirits are servants of gods?" Suddenly, Mudan asked.

Yue Lian shook her head, but realized that she had forgotten that Peony walking in front was invisible, so she quickly said, "I don't know."

Peony sighed, "Because it's not easy to cultivate."

"What do you mean?"

"The elves who became conscious in Biluo City and turned into human form are contaminated with divine power, and have broken away from the category of monsters, that is, spiritual objects. Spiritual objects can become gods in the end." Peony's voice is very low, I don't know if she is suppressing What do you think, "But it's not easy to practice, so the spirits sign a contract with the gods, the spirits help the gods to do things, and the gods help the spirits practice."

"Isn't this fair?" Yue Lian wondered, "Why do we have to bow to them?"

"Yes, it's fair." Peony smiled wryly, "But in the end, even the demons were completely wiped out, and the gods changed the contract into a death contract, and included the fact that they can kill their own spiritual creatures. Who dares to resist if the gods are ruled?"

"However, I don't know when it started..." Mudan paused, looked around, and then continued, "There are people who are constantly being wiped out like Da Geng Po Po, and the number is increasing. I asked privately Master Yao, she said that when the power is exhausted to nothing, it will be wiped out."

"Then will we..."

"No. It's like..." Mudan suddenly turned around, holding the rein tightly with both hands, and the horse was startled, "This is like a curse! A curse against a god! All people who are wiped out are gods! No People know why!"

"How could this happen?" The figure of Ienazaki wearing a moon white outer shirt flashed in my mind, and Yue Lian couldn't help asking, "Is there no way to stop it?"

Peony smiled wryly and shook her head, "Lord Yao told me that in fact every god is exhausted, and we can only delay the arrival of that day by replenishing strength from the outside world."

"From the outside world..." Yue Lian suddenly understood, and looked at Mudan angrily, "That woman just did this, right! That's why you are so weak! That woman still wants to draw strength from me, what a... "

"Master Yao is a good person!" Mudan interrupted Yue Lian, her chest heaved and fell due to excitement, her cheeks were flushed, but her brows were frighteningly pale.

"Okay, okay... She is a good person, she is a good person... I won't say anything, don't get excited..." Yue Lian hurriedly helped Mudan to calm down.

After a while, seeing Mudan's expression softened, Yue Lian asked cautiously, "Is Master Ienazaki also exhausted? And... what will happen to you in the end?"

"Of course Lord God is also failing, but he is full of divine power. It should be early before that day, and he may be able to figure out a way. As for me..." Peony's brows were stained with a bleak smile, "I said , When the power is exhausted to nothing, it will be wiped out."

"She's hurting you!" Yue Lian stomped her feet resentfully.

"No matter how many times I say 'she is a good person', you won't believe it. But don't worry. My today will never be your tomorrow." Peony said softly, turned around, led the horse and walked on In front, "Because... Ienazaki-sama is a good god."

As Mudan spoke, her gaze inadvertently swept across the clapper lying on the ground, and a tear fell without warning.

I just don't know if today's day when I beat my mother-in-law will be Master Yao's tomorrow...
