The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Fang Yun looked at Nunu in astonishment. This little guy was too supportive of him. He asked him to keep it no matter what it was.

Fang Yun looked at An Chengcai embarrassedly, but An Chengcai said, "Even the fox thinks this thing belongs to you. It seems that my decision is right. You must keep it well! Fang Yun, I hope you can be firm in your literary courage in the future, like today, and write countless war poems and good articles to eliminate monsters for my human race!"

Fang Yun said, "Since I am a human being, since I was born and raised here, I must use all my strength to protect the human race and guard this land!"

Fang Yun's words were powerful. When he first came to Shengyuan Continent, he didn't think too much, he just wanted to survive, but he personally experienced the destruction of Lujia Town, saw hundreds of soldiers killed, and watched his classmates being eaten alive by monster turtles. Finally, he was shocked by the layers of blood and loyalty, and he had already awakened in his heart.

"That's good. I can't do much. Now I can only do one last thing. The human race depends on you." An Chengcai suddenly smiled, as if he had put down all the constraints and burdens, and his eyes were extremely clear.

Fang Yun was stunned for a moment. At this moment, An Chengcai's expression was the same as those scholars who used the blood and heart, with a kind of "sacrifice life for justice" calmness.

"Brother An..."

An Chengcai waved his hand and said, "Let's go." After that, he strode forward.

Fang Yun followed behind, puzzled, and didn't understand why An Chengcai suddenly became like this. He was just a student, and he couldn't do anything even if he sacrificed his life for justice.

Nunu looked at An Chengcai and seemed to sigh.

The snake demon leader saw Chen Xibi and others approaching, and suddenly consumed a lot of blood and spewed out thick poisonous fog.

County Magistrate He knew the power of the poisonous fog, and dared not block the way again, so he had to get out of the way.

The snake demon leader took the opportunity to break through the blockade of County Magistrate He and rushed to the top of the mountain, but his body was shaking. The huge snake body had lost its former flexibility and was covered with various wounds. It had lost the self-healing ability that a demon leader should have.

Finally, the snake demon coiled its body and stopped on the top of the mountain, looking at County Magistrate He with its gloomy vertical pupils, its eyes full of hatred. Behind it was a cliff hundreds of feet high.

County Magistrate He said: "Demon snake, you are not strong enough, even if you jump down, you can't escape our pursuit. Hand over the dirty article of the great scholar, we will give you a quick death and bury you, and will not use you for other purposes."

"It's only a few dozen miles away from the Yangtze River, I can escape into the Yangtze River." The appearance of the demon snake was extremely terrifying, but the voice was a female voice, very pleasant to the ears.

Chen Xibi, with the ancient sword of talent hanging in front of him, said as he walked: "When Li Daxueshi rushed into the Yangtze River, the fish monsters had already said that you stole the things of Jiaolong Palace. Once you enter the Yangtze River, you will die. Hand over the dirty writings of the great scholar honestly, otherwise when we get the dirty writings of the great scholar, we will send you to the Yangtze River and let the people of Jiaolong Palace deal with you! You should know their methods better than us."

The snake monster's eyes showed a trace of confusion and helplessness.

At this time, An Chengcai, who had been dodging, walked out of the crowd. He held a sharp dagger in his hand and said as he walked: "My lords, please give me half a quarter of an hour, I will solve it."

Chen Xibi was about to scold the boy, but found that the snake monster's eyes showed panic. He was surprised and did not say anything.

"Brother An!"

"What are you doing!"

An Chengcai ignored the shouts of the crowd and continued to walk towards the demon snake.

The demon snake seemed to be extremely afraid of the boy, and retreated involuntarily. Part of its body appeared outside the cliff, and some stones were swept off the cliff by its body.

An Chengcai walked and said: "Change back to human form. I don't like the way you are now."

The snake demon hesitated for a moment, and a ball of white mist burst out of its body. When the white mist dissipated, a beautiful woman in green appeared in front of everyone.

Many people's eyes lit up. They didn't expect that the demon snake was so beautiful.

There was originally a circle of blood-red rings in her eyes, but it was covered by her magic and slowly dissipated.

All the students who came into contact with An Chengcai suddenly understood that the demon commander did not flee to the Yangtze River at all, but fled from Qushui County to Mi County, and then turned into a woman and was rescued by An Chengcai. The two fell in love and became husband and wife. After that, the demon turtle somehow found the demon snake and chased it to Lujia Town. In order not to expose its identity, the snake demon used magic to change its form when fighting in Lujia Town, so at first no one associated the snake demon with the demon commander with the dirty words of the great Confucian scholar.

"Yes... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have lied to you." This snake demon who killed people like crazy was like a shy young wife at this moment, and he didn't look vicious at all.

An Chengcai smiled slightly and said, "I don't blame you for lying to me. Since I am willing to marry you, I don't care about being deceived by you. I am willing." An Chengcai held the dagger tighter with his right hand.

"You really don't blame me?" The snake demon asked worriedly.

"Of course. Because I know that you are willing to marry me because you really regard me as your husband and really want to live a peaceful life with me."

The snake demon suddenly burst into tears, crying and saying, "Yes, I really want to be your wife and grow old with you."

An Chengcai still smiled and nodded, but a moment later he suddenly shouted angrily, "I don't blame you for lying to me, but why did you kill people! Why did you eat people! Did you kill all the people in the two villages in Qushui County! Did you eat Mr. Yang! Tell me!"

The snake demon was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of regret and despair, he lowered his head slightly, and cried silently.

"Say it! Why don't you dare to say it! Why do you want to eat them! Why! They are just like me, they are living people. Do you want to eat me!"

The snake demon hurriedly said: "No... no, I won't eat you. I ate them because I was injured. I... I won't eat you, and I won't even die."

"I know you won't eat me, but because of your injury, if you can eat Mr. Yang, you can eat my uncle. If my parents are still alive, you can eat my parents. If you have a child, can you also eat it? Eat children?" An Chengcai walked towards the snake demon step by step.

The snake demon covered his face with his hands and just cried, unable to say a word.

An Chengcai walked up to the snake demon, put the dagger against the snake demon's left chest, stared into the snake demon's eyes, and said: "I have many bad things, I even married a snake demon and a cannibal." A snake demon who ate my mentor, I have no regrets, and I still don’t regret it. But I am a scholar! If you eat people, I will kill you!”

With tears in his eyes, An Chengcai slowly inserted the dagger into the snake demon's heart. Blood flowed out from the wound and dyed the snake demon's skirt red.

The snake demon did not hide away, shedding tears silently and looking at An Chengcai silently.

An Chengcai said slowly: "Madam, if there is an afterlife and you and I are both demons or humans, would you be willing to marry me?"

"Marry! Then are you willing to marry me?" the snake demon asked.

"Marry." An Chengcai said firmly.

"I'm sorry, I will never eat people again. Can you forgive me?" the snake demon asked softly.

An Chengcai smiled sadly and said: "What about the lives of hundreds of villagers? What about the lives of hundreds of soldiers? I am not qualified to forgive you on behalf of the dead, nor can I forgive you on behalf of their relatives! I Can those people survive if I forgive you? Some sins are unforgivable and can only be paid for with blood and life!"

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." The snake demon kept repeating the same sentence, with tears and blood flowing.

An Chengcai stretched out his hand to touch the face of the snake demon and said softly: "I am a human and you are a demon. If you eat humans, I will kill you. But you are my wife, so I will die with you."

After An Chengcai finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out the dagger from the snake demon and stabbed himself in the heart with his backhand.

"puff!"

An Chengcai's blood splashed all over the snake demon's face.

"Mr. Sir!" The snake demon let out a heart-rending scream.

An Chengcai looked pale and shed tears, and said softly: "Madam, if you are still a monster in your next life, please stop eating people."

"I won't eat, I won't eat people anymore..." the snake demon howled.

"Well, we will be husband and wife again in the next life." An Chengcai slowly closed his eyes.

The snake demon held An Chengcai's body and cried loudly.

Not far away, many people lowered their heads and wiped their tears with their sleeves.

Nunu cried and kept wiping her tears with her paws.

After a long time, the snake demon stood up unsteadily holding An Chengcai's body, and then bowed to everyone.

"I'm sorry, I will never eat people again." After saying that, the snake demon jumped into the cliff with An Chengcai's body in his arms.

The night sky is silent.

After a long time, a slight sound came from under the cliff.

Everyone knew that the snake demon would not survive.

Magistrate He said softly: "I'll go down and bury the two of them." After saying that, he used the power of his quick poem to glide down the mountain.

Everyone sighed, no one expected that things would turn out like this.

"It's so sad."

"He is a scholar." Chen Xibi said in a deep voice.

The little fox was still crying in Fang Yun's arms. Fang Yun stroked its head and comforted it softly.

After a long time, the little fox raised his head, looked at Fang Yun with tearful eyes, and covered his mouth with his paws.

Fang Yun smiled and said, "I know you don't know how to eat people."

The little fox nodded vigorously.

"You guys wait here, Lord Yuan, while we go deal with the corpses of the demon clan." Chen Xi wrote.

Several veterans were talking in low voices as they walked.

"Damn it, that scholar is such a pity! He shouldn't die with that witch! Human life is more valuable than that of a witch!"

"He is right. If the demon clan kills people, we must kill them! We, the human race, are the masters of the Holy Yuan Continent!"

"Alas, my cousin was killed by that monster turtle! How disgusting!"

Some veterans collected the corpses of their comrades, and some used knives to dismember the valuable monster corpses, taking out the useful ones and disposing of them. Especially the corpse of the monster turtle, which needed to be handled by the scholar soldiers themselves.

Fang Yun quietly watched the veterans busy, and An Chengcai made him understand the meaning of killing demons.

"My knife will never be put down."

Not long after, a white cloud came swiftly from the horizon, and the figure of Bachelor Li Wenying appeared in everyone's sight.
