A bonfire is lit on the bank of the Jiehe River and near the Patriarch Tower, which is not a flame created by magic, but an ordinary natural fire.

Mu Lie and a group of monkeys picked up waste wood that was not used by the Holy Rune Army, lit the fire, and chiseled ice in the river to catch fish, and then put it on the fire to make delicious grilled fish.

Mu Lie was very happy, this was the first hot meal in many days, these ground monkeys were small, but their strength was not small, and they had to help break through the ice. The monkeys were also delighted, and when night fell, they took off their stuffy armor and let their hair relax, making fishing a fun game, and when the smell of grilled fish filled, they not only found it fun, but went crazy.

Yin Bushen stood on the shore and shouted and commanded, the night was getting deeper, looking at the elated and busy monkeys, Yin Bushen said to the officer proudly: "You are loyal to the emperor, you are honest on the surface, but you have slander on the inside, you are not as good as these monkeys of mine, you are dead-hearted, and you are the same on the outside." ”

The officer was lying near the fire, the clothes under his body were provided by Mu Lie, he didn't eat fish, he gritted his teeth and looked at the starry sky, "Why did you save me?"

"Do you think I have any good intentions in order to make you suffer?" Yin Bushen took a bite on the freshly baked fat fish, hot and fragrant, he chewed quickly while inhaling the cool air, and the ground monkey who sent the fish also learned from him to squeeze his eyebrows and salivate, this fish was roasted and sent by him.

Yin Bushen ate the fattest belly of the fish, threw the remaining grilled fish to the impatient waiter, the monkey jumped up, grabbed it with both hands and bit it up at the same time, regardless of the fish meat and bones, swallowed the dates, and was so happy that he turned his head several times.

The ground monkeys lined up to offer grilled fish to Yin Bushen, and he either ate two bites or took a look. Then he sent the monkeys to eat themselves, and squinted triumphantly at the officers, showing off the treatment he had received.

The officer finally couldn't take it anymore and said, "They are nothing but a bunch of ignorant beasts. ”

"Hey, number one, how many beasts have you ever seen that can be so obedient? Well, this fish is good. Second, do the soldiers of the Holy Rune Army have knowledge? I don't think you are better than ants...... Phew, dare you bring me the charred fish?"

The officer was silent.

Yin Bushen didn't eat much, and he was full soon. They still insist on taking a look at and eating the grilled fish that each monkey offers, so that they are allowed to eat freely.

More than forty ground monkeys have a clear division of labor, one group cleans up the ice fish, one picks up the fish grilled, and the other learns from Mu Lie squatting on the shore to gobble up, and after eating, they go to replace the first group of companions, if it is a cycle, it is fair, Mu Lie refuses to take advantage. also joined the cycle, and Yin Bushen felt more and more that this was a stupid boy.

The fragrance wafted far away, and across the wide Jiehe River, countless pairs of eyes in the barracks on the other side shone slightly in the dark night. Yin Bushen could see with his crystal eyes, and even the upright wooden stakes on the dock behind him seemed to come to life, staring greedily at the fireworks.

Only one person is unaffected. Mu Xingqiu was still circling around the Patriarch Tower, pressing his two hands on the tower in turn, when changing hands. The direction of the detour must also be changed.

"Alas, Dao Zun is also confused, can 33,000 Dao Talismans defeat Kun Chao? I think it is difficult to even deal with Zuo Liuying, so it is better to sit down and eat fish, and then think of other ways. Yin Bushen said loudly.

It was the officer who answered him, "There is no way, only the way to die, to keep fighting......"

"Stop, don't come with me again, you want to go to the territory of the ancient gods after you die, I just want to get rid of the demon body, and I can live one day at a time, whether it is a soul after death, or if there is really another world, I don't care, and my earth monkey doesn't care. ”

Yin Bushen beckoned, called a ground monkey who had just grilled the fish and prepared a large piece of food, snatched the fish from its hand, and devoured it in a big gulp, "Since there is no hope for the future, then put all the hope for the present, such a delicious fish, you can eat more." ”

Yin Bushen threw out the fishtail and fish bones, and the ground monkey caught them, ran to the shore, squatted in a row with his companions, and ate happily.

"Look, that's the right way to live. "Yin Bushen is getting more and more fond of these ugly and small monsters.

"It's a 'right way to live'. King Huaibi didn't know when he arrived, strode over, just in time for another monkey to come over to offer fish, he was not polite, did not wait for Yin Bushen to stretch out his hand, first took the fish over, ate a few bites, returned it to the ground monkey, took a deep breath, "It's been more than two years, and I've almost forgotten what a delicacy is." ”

"You should continue to forget, who invited you?" Yin said disdainfully.

"You just said that hope is all in the present, and enjoying yourself is the right way, so what more invitations do you need? That was what Kun Chao did before he appeared, and now there is no need for it. ”

Yin Bushen opened his mouth and stammered, and only said after a while: "Is it true that anyone who can be an emperor has to be as shameless as you?"

"When necessary, it is. "King Huaibi sat beside the officer, stretched out his hand to bake the fire, and when there was a fish in his hand, he ate it, Yin Bushen didn't say anything, and the monkey didn't care, and still happily grilled the fish, sent the fish, and ate the fish.

King Huaibi had almost eaten, and asked the ground monkey to give the grilled fish to the lying officer, who seemed to understand something, and finally took the fish and ate some.

"How much can the human heart bear?" asked King Huaibi.

"Hey, it's the well-fed people who ask this kind of thing. I don't know the human heart, the endurance of the demon heart must be stronger, we have been hunted down by Taoist priests for more than 100,000 years, and we are still alive and well. ”

"It's not what it used to be, how long has it been since you've been to the Land of the Demons?"

"Uh...... It's been two years, since Mu Dong'er cheated Feixiao out of me. "Yin Bushen has always assumed the pseudonym Yang Yongfu to lead the scattered cultivation in the south, and has little contact with the demon clan in the north.

"No wonder. ”

"Something to say. ”

"The demon clan is not what it used to be: there are some who attack the holy rune army like madmen, claiming that the calamity of the five elements is specially used to punish humans, and the time of the demon clan has come; others, like you, only live in the present, but they don't like to grill fish, but to kill, kill anything, humans, demons, beasts...... As long as you see something that can move, you will kill it, until you are also killed, it is said that in this way, you can gain Kun Zhen's appreciation, and there are also some demon clans who want to hide in every possible way, I have seen a hole, up to more than 100 zhang deep, all dug out by nearly a hundred demon clans little by little, and they all died at the bottom of the hole. ”

"They killed each other?" Yin Bushen guessed.

"No, they don't have fatal wounds. It's all exhausting. ”

Yin Bushen was quiet for a while, he knew the demon clan and knew that what King Huaibi said was true, "Humans are not much better." He said, "As soon as I heard that Zuo Liuying might be the spokesperson of Kun Chao, they all pounced, and with his words, thousands of scattered cultivators came to join me, but their loyalty was not as good as that of a reptile, seeing that I was out of power." Scattered in a hurry. And him—" Yin Bushen pointed at Mu Lie.

Mu Lie had already eaten enough, and was squatting nearby to light the fire, and said in surprise, "What's wrong with me?"

"In the past two years, you have traveled a lot of places in order to find the whereabouts of Yuan Ying, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"Have you seen a lot of human beings whose relatives and friends died in the Five Elements Tribulation?"

"Of course, that's pretty much the case with almost everyone I meet. ”

"Do they want revenge?"

"Hmmm......"

"Are they willing to come with you to find your missing loved ones?"

"Hmmm......"

"Are there more people who help you, or are there more people who want to harm you?"

Mu Lie was silent, for more than two years, he had encountered more bad people than good people, so much so that he rarely approached the slightly more populated towns. Walk only in the wilderness.

"But there are still good people and good demons. A smile appeared on Mu Lie's young face, "Except for this knife, everything on my body was given to me by well-wishers, and I have been to the country of sacrifice." There are also demons there who send me things. ”

"Did you send it, or did you peel it off the dead body yourself?" Yin Bushen was even more disdainful.

Mu Lieteng stood up and said loudly: "I would rather starve to death and freeze to death than rob the dead body." We stop at Bang ......"

"Stop, I'm wrong. Yin Bushen stretched his waist, and the nearby ground monkeys were also full. was scrambling for the remaining wooden sticks and fish bones, "By the way, you came out of the Stopping State, why didn't you go to the Wind Blocking Mountain with the Spirit King?"

"Most of them followed, and some of the remaining people were reluctant to leave Wildwood, which is our hometown. But I didn't expect it...... My mother often regrets that she just went with everyone in the first place. ”

"It's not much better, I was in the Wind Blocking Mountain during the Tribulation of the Five Elements, and the casualties were still heavy, and the babies were also snatched a lot, all thanks to the Spirit King and the Beast Master, plus the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons...... And I, who saved a group of survivors. Yin Bushen sighed, and he didn't even have the mood to boast about his merits.

"That's what I mean by burden. King Huaibi looked at the flames blankly, he was still young, but his face was full of vicissitudes, and there were frostbite on the back of his hands, "It is more terrible than the Tribulation of the Five Elements, it has deformed the human heart and demon heart, maybe this is Kun Chao's purpose, to make all living beings fall into demons." ”

"Into the devil? That's the Taoist priest's business, mortals and demons have not entered the demons, at most they have been invaded by demons, but the demon seed is gone. Yin Bushen corrected.

King Huaibi shook his head, "We are all in the devil, all human beings, all demon races, no exception, some are obvious, some are hidden. There are some things that you would never have done before, but now you have to do them, no matter whether you are right or wrong, whether you win or lose, isn't this very similar to the Taoist priest's demonization?"

"Ha, I'm not the kind of ...... you said" Yin Bushen frowned, "In the past, I didn't dare to challenge Lao Jun when I died, is this a change? Mu Lie, in the past, you didn't dare to go into the rivers and lakes alone and find a Taoist priest to take revenge, right?"

"Once upon a time, once upon a time, there was a father and an uncle, and they wouldn't let me go out on adventures alone. Mu Lie's expression was gloomy, he didn't know what it meant to be enchanted, but he did "have to do" something now.

"All living beings are in the devil, the world is in the devil, what does Kun Chao want?" King Huaibi couldn't guess clearly.

"Maybe he wants to uproot the demons of the world. Mu Xingqiu walked over, and a ground monkey immediately sent the remains of the last grilled fish, there was not much meat on it, and it was already cold, Mu Xingqiu took it in his hand, gnawed off the only remaining bit of meat, and returned the fish bones to the ground monkey.

"I see he's the devil, the biggest demon, isn't the demon seed in his hands? "Yin Bushen was indirectly doing things for Kun Chao not long ago, but now he sees the wind and rudder, and regards the Dao Patriarch as an enemy.

Mu Xingqiu knelt on the snow on one leg, took out a paper talisman from the lying officer's body, threw it into the flames and burned it, and then said to King Huaibi, whose face changed slightly: "As long as there is still a heart that can withstand it, all beings have not completely fallen into the demon, and Kun Chao has not succeeded. ”
