Under the peach tree, Wu Gen and the woman were sitting opposite each other. The woman's face is haggard and her hair is disheveled, but she is still beautiful and tender, unable to hide her unique charm.
The rotten corpses and heads had disappeared, leaving only the broken branches and leaves scattered in the soil like corpses, indicating that there had been a fight just now.
"Who are you? I was sent by the man named Rong." The woman looked at Wu Gen angrily. So many peach branches were destroyed, which was not a small injury to her.
Wu Gen laughed a little, "I was passing by the forest, but you detained me here for no reason. What does it have to do with the person named Rong?"
"It's really not Rong Kui who sent him."
"Who is Rong Kui?"
"...."
Only then did the woman named Taoye realize that this fight was truly an unforeseen disaster. Sighing, Taoye said with waning spirits: "Since this is a misunderstanding, please leave early. I'm tired and want to rest early."
"Haha, let's forget it. Lady Taoye, today I went to your temple to pay a tael of silver. I was frightened again here. If I didn't have some means of protecting myself, I wouldn't be dead at this time. In the gentle village, maybe it was done by you directly, just like those corpses just now.
Just say "Let's go" and it's over? If nothing else, you can at least get some blood and soothe my injured little heart. Otherwise, we will do it again. Your methods of fooling mortals are of no use to me anyway. If you piss me off, let's go see the official. I want to show everyone that the Taoye Empress, who usually protects us, is so arrogant behind the scenes and feeds on human flesh and blood. "
"Do you think these people are innocent?" Taoye's voice suddenly became louder, pointing to the black soil with many holes around it, which was as ugly as a piece of rags, "Some of these people are greedy for beauty, and stop in their dreams. I refused to wake up. Some were greedy for fame and tried to kill me to gain prestige in the world. Some were greedy for power and would not hesitate to take risks in order to win the favor of the nobles. They all deserved to die.
As for why those people outside worship me, do you really think that one or two stories can make them believe in me so much. Over the years, I have worked hard to save people from flooding rivers and give medicine to people with serious illnesses. Even the love between a man and a woman has to be matched with red money. If it weren't for these, the people here would be able to worship me, and the government of Zhao State would be able to tolerate me. "
Wu Gen scratched his head and said calmly: "So, you are not a heinous person. I am not a kind person either, and doing chivalrous and righteous things has nothing to do with me. But today I saw so many people die in the Here, and seeing you using the temple to make money, I thought of uprooting you to restore peace to the place.
If what you said is true, I am going too far. But these are all your one-sided words. As the old saying goes, if you often walk by the river, you will eventually fall into the water. Although I can let you go, others may not let you go. "
Taoye sneered and said: "One tael of silver is also called making money. It's a joke. Those noble people easily have tens of millions, so why don't you rob the rich and give to the poor? Don't brag about it. It sounds like you can make sure I am, but it's just If the fight continues, both sides will lose. I admit that you have some tricks, and ordinary illusions will have no effect on you, but if I don’t spare my own strength, I don’t believe that you won’t fall for it.”
Wu Gen slapped his arm, and Mu jumped up and yelled: "What are you doing? You have disturbed my dreams again and again today. I don't know that I am still young and lack of sleep will affect my height."
As soon as Mu appeared, Taoye's eyes widened, and a feeling of being naturally suppressed came over him. This seemingly small alien beast contained terrifying power, and it turned out that this time it was a fair defeat.
Wu Gen smiled and said: "When it comes to playing illusions, this is our ancestor. In front of it, your methods are just childish tricks and cannot be put on the stage. By the way, what did you say about Rong Kui just now? What does this person do?"
Taoye's face sank, "Your Excellency, you are too curious."
Wu Gen didn't take it seriously, "I blocked someone else's disaster for nothing, so naturally I want to know the reason. It's fine if you don't tell me, just watch." After saying that, he picked up Mu with one hand and put it in front of Tao Ye, "Yes. It's here, so you can't even hide which way you sleep at night, so it's better to be happy."
Mu twisted her body, quite dissatisfied with Wu Gen's actions, "Why are you wasting so much words? If you want this little peach demon to warm your bed, I will do what you want, and I will do it till death. "
Tao Ye's face turned red. Although Wu Gen and Mu's words could not be fully believed, this little strange beast could see where he came from, and the pressure he put on him was real. Maybe he had been stuck here for a long time with no one to talk to. With a long sigh, he recounted the past between himself and Rong Kui.
One year, in an unknown mountain in Zhao State, a little peach demon transformed. Among the blooming mountain flowers, the little demon lived a carefree life. In addition to practicing, he travels to mountains and rivers every day, drinks morning dew when thirsty, and sleeps by the spring. He thinks that this kind of heartless life is all about practicing.
The peach demon will occasionally go to the human world at the foot of the mountain to watch spring planting and autumn harvest, taste fine wine and delicious food, wear red clothes and green shirts, and listen to the sound of books.
After staying in the world of mortals for a long time, Peach Demon gradually began to have thoughts and worries. People in the world are all in pairs, with homes and houses, but I am alone, alone, with no one to talk to.
On the mountain, no matter what I say, the grass in the mountain will only nod, the stream in the stream will only clap, and the bees in the flower will only buzz in agreement. For the first time, the little demon feels that something is missing in life. Even practicing is no longer so serious.
In the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, a young man in a hurry breaks his comfortable life.
The man's name was Rong Kui, a scholar who went to the capital to take the exam. The mountain was high and the road was long, and the journey was windy and rainy. The walk and the lack of acclimatization along the way caused me to fall ill on the road. Seeing that the exam period was approaching, and thinking that if I missed it, I would be delayed for another year, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and move on.
When they reached the mountain where the peach demon was, Rong Kui could no longer hold on and fell down on the mountain road. Just as the peach demon happened to be passing by, a bad fate that has been repeated many times in the world began.
As a transformed demon, the peach demon does not have so many men and women who are not close to each other. If you like it, you should be brave enough to chase it.
The man was handsome, and Tao Yao, who had just begun to fall in love and was familiar with the world, rescued him decisively and took good care of him. He even used his spiritual energy to nourish the man's body regardless of his cultivation.
Rong Kui gradually recovered under the care of Peach Demon. This is the time of youth, plus the handsome man and the charming woman, getting along with each other every day, naturally there is a feeling of affection.
The two walked among the flowers and wandered by the stream, and they fell in love with each other. Rong Kui also named the peach demon Tao Yan, which means the most affectionate meaning of the peach blossoms smiling on the branches, seemingly blooming but not yet blooming.
Those days were Tao Yan's happiest days. Her eyes were filled with the shadow of her lover, and there was no room for anything else.
The days we get together are always short. After he recovers from his illness, Rong Kui has to go to Beijing. Tao Yan hired a carriage and begged the driver to drive Rong Kui to the capital on a starry night.
When they parted, Rongkui took out a hosta, saying it was an ancestral thing, and broke it into two, and the two of them each took half of it as a token of love.
Tao Yan was full of expectations and played with the half of the hosta every day, often secretly laughing alone. Having been in the human world for a long time, although I know that the human race pays attention to being well-matched, but like thousands of young people who are immersed in love, they always think that they can break through all constraints.
After Rong Kui entered the capital, he was already very knowledgeable and good-looking, but in the end he became Tanhua. After he became successful, Rong Kui never forgot Tao Yan and wrote a love letter in his own handwriting, which he passed on to Tao Yan.
As the saying goes, if you don't miss lovesickness in your life, you will miss lovesickness, which will harm lovesickness. I'm afraid of lovesickness, I already miss lovesickness, and when it's my turn to miss lovesickness, I have no excuse.
Seeing the letter is like seeing the person, Tao Yan becomes more and more haunted, and truly knows the taste of looking through the autumn water.
When he returned to his hometown to praise his official position, Rong Kui took a special detour to meet Tao Yan in the mountains, and the two of them had a good relationship. When Rong Kui left, he made a wish to marry Tao Yan as his wife and take her back to his hometown, no matter what the world thinks.
Rong Kui's parents didn't know Tao Yan's identity at first, but they were just happy to have a double happiness in their family. Until Rong Kui told the truth, his parents fiercely opposed it.
It is not easy for one's own children to have such a future. It is not easy for a commoner to rise to a higher position. If he marries a woman from a foreign race, he will be laughed at by many people and his future will be delayed.
Rong Kui had no choice but to let Tao Yan return to the mountains first, and vowed to convince his parents to wait for him with peace of mind. I just waited for three years, but Rong Kui didn't come to see me. Tao Yan felt uneasy and went to Rongkui's hometown to look for her. However, her parents sent her away as a gift and gave her a sum of money. They just asked her not to bother Rongkui again.
Tao Yan refused to give up, holding half of the jade hairpin, searching everywhere, and finally found Rong Kui in the capital.
At this time, he was already the son-in-law of the Minister of Finance, and he was in great glory with his lovely wife. Seeing Tao Yan coming, Rong Kui felt really guilty. It's just that he has entered the officialdom, and after ten years of hard work, he has finally paid off. With the support of his father-in-law, his future is bright. If he accepts Tao Yan, his career will be obscured.
It is often said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, but it is absolutely impossible to go back to the life of a white lady.
So they quietly gave Tao Yan a sum of money, bought a house outside the city, and became the secret couple. But the anger could not be contained in the paper. When the wife of Rong Kui's family heard about this, she became furious and ordered the matter to be resolved within three days, otherwise she would return home and divorce her husband.
Rongkui was in a dilemma and had to beg Tao Yan to leave.
Mrs. Rongkui grew up in the hairpin family since she was a child. She would never do anything dirty like leading people to catch adulterers and adulterers, stripping them naked and parading them in the streets. She just silently packed her luggage and went back to her parents' home. Rong Kui came to the house several times and begged his wife to come home, but the other party just said coldly and got rid of the woman.
Soon after, the attitude of the father-in-law's family towards Rong Kui became much colder, and an already certain promotion opportunity was also suppressed. Rong Kui was completely panicked. It’s not easy to work hard for many years. If you piss off your father-in-law, you may not be able to fight him to the end, and your situation will be even worse than before.
In desperation, Rong Kui went to Tao Yan in person, confessed that he was betrayed, and asked Tao Yan to leave. As long as he no longer bothers me, Zhao can go anywhere.
Although Tao Yan is from the demon clan, she has been down the mountain for many years and finally understands some of the nasty things about the human clan. He left Rongkui alone without defending, crying or begging. He didn't mess around on the ground.
If we get to this point, this is another story of a man's betrayal.
One year, a banquet was held at Tingwei Mansion, and Rong Kui met Tao Yan again. At this time, he was a widower, and his father-in-law had already aged. The lady had lost her support and died in depression, leaving two The son passed away.
Tingwei and Rongkui had nothing to do with each other, but the official position was higher than him. Tao Yan sat beside him, dressed gorgeously, serving wine respectfully as a concubine.
After all, Rong Kui was no longer the scholar who went to Beijing alone to take the exam. He had been immersed in official circles for many years. At this time, his expression was calm. He respectfully saluted and toasted the two of them, while Tao Yan sat down and accepted the gift calmly.
Tingwei hugged Tao Yan unscrupulously, looked at Rong Kui teasingly, and touched Tao Yan's body with his hands covered with age spots. Seeing Tao Yan's indifferent expression, Rong Kui understood that this was Tao Yan's revenge on him.
After that, Tingwei was suddenly reported to have formed a gang. The evidence was conclusive. He was interrogated and imprisoned. He died in prison soon after. Naturally, the tree fell down and the macaques scattered around his house.
Tao Yan waited in the sealed-off Tingwei Mansion for three days, but no one came to the door. In desperation, she had to leave the capital.
The moment she left the city gate, Tao Yan cried.
