The boy called Maple, despite his shy and well-behaved appearance, is actually the evil envoy of the Ten Evils.
The process of human beings directly transforming into demons is called "demon transformation", but not all demon-transformed people can be called evil angels. A person who can become an evil messenger must have had extraordinary experiences during his lifetime, usually having committed one of the ten evil crimes. Of course, it doesn't mean that if you kill someone randomly and then turn into a monster, you will be called an evil angel of "killing". Take the most recent example, Kaede, this kid became what he is now after brutally killing everyone in the village. Liang Yuejun's barrier was originally used to suppress the demon transformation, but unfortunately before they found a better way, Liang Yue Jun reincarnated and reincarnated. Xie Zhe happened to solve this problem, and everything became a foregone conclusion.
To put it more harshly - they are just people from a village, a hundred or so people, not worth mentioning. For example, there are countless desperadoes in Zuojinmen. If you pick a killer at random, countless people will be killed in this life. There are also ten thousand soldiers on the battlefield, and even generals who are proficient in military strategizing, and counselors who are good at calculating and maneuvering. The number of people killed directly and indirectly by the best among them may be large cities or even small countries. calculate. But among these people, it is difficult to find a little boy like Feng. It just so happens that only Feng can become the evil messenger most capable of "killing".
Evil is never measured in terms of quantity. As the saying goes, one hundred good things can be judged by the heart but not by deeds, and a poor family cannot have a filial son. And the "heart" and "traces" in this are a special set of measurement standards. In a sense, this child has nothing to do with the evil of killing. To say the least, he was just seeking revenge for his adoptive mother. His adoptive mother treated him as one of her own, but she ended up like this. Her grief and anger alone was enough to kill those stupid people in the name of family love and justice. But he did something even more outrageous. Even though those people should have paid such a price, in terms of behavior and impact, the price seemed too huge. And it shouldn't be up to him to decide whether he should make this decision. I'm afraid he also knows what "the law does not punish everyone" is, so he can't believe in the so-called fairness and justice in the world. But asking a teenage child to understand this is already demanding and cruel to another level.
Although Feng's words... it was obvious that someone said something or did something behind his back, adding fuel to the fire and creating it all.
He never should have had access to that horrific weapon.
So, what about everyone else? The Ten Evils are not yet fully formed. The evils in the world are nothing more than these ten most vile and heinous ones. Those monsters that become evil envoys are not only born because of these bad reputations, but also continuously draw corresponding evil thoughts from the world. They are difficult to deal with, because as long as there is one person in the mortal world who has such evil thoughts in his heart, the corresponding evil angel will always be able to survive the desperate situation. It is obviously impossible to prevent everyone in the world from harboring evil thoughts. Dealing with them requires other methods. As for why other people become evil messengers...according to Mutsuki-kun, they all seem to be inextricably linked to the impermanence of the Six Paths. The emergence of these evil spirits in a short period of time made them doubt whether there was any force behind them, fighting against Huangquan Twelve and the reason for this group of people to exist in the world.
"Kushitsuki-kun's motives are not something you should interfere with. But at least, there are some things that need to be done by you."
"Tell me." Xie Zhe asked, "Are you talking about Feng's child?"
But Mutsuki-kun shook his head: "No, that's my business. Tonight, I'm going to do something for that innocent village. It's not your job to catch 'Kill'. I'll ask you to follow me to a The place is to deal with other matters left by Mr. Liangyue. Since you have broken his situation, doing some posthumous things for him can be considered a beginning and an end. Of course, I will not force others to make things difficult. If there is any inconvenience, you cannot accompany me. , it doesn’t matter. As long as you have that heart, that’s enough.”
The sky gradually darkened, and several bright stars were already revealed. The three people didn't have much discussion, but no one objected. Today, Mutsuki-kun talked about a lot of things, and there may be more in the future. Just what they heard today was enough to make them breathless. But this power turned into a burden and fell steadily on their shoulders. Just like a farmer who suddenly got weapons, it is natural for him to take up arms and fight against the enemy in order to defend his homeland.
An indescribable sense of mission surged up from my heart. What they do is really for the common people. Especially for someone like Xie Zhe, he would never back down. Before Mutsuki-kun's request, going to Eclipse Light Palace didn't seem so urgent anymore. However, he also said that this would not delay them for too long.
The three of them stayed here for a while, Mutsuki-kun went to do his own business, and they just had to wait for him to come back. After Mu Yuejun's persuasion before leaving, Xie Zhe still found the weapons dealer from before and customized a scabbard for the Fengyun Slash. This delayed a few more days, but as the saying goes, slow work produces clever work, you should naturally keep your mind calm. And it seemed that Mutsuki-kun, who had returned after the matter was completed, did not rush them. While waiting for the scabbard, he went to find out about the Ten Evil Killings by walking on his spiritual veins. Several of them also discussed it over the past few days and listed the ten evil apostles that they could confirm.
Feng represents the ten evils of killing, Tao Zhu represents the ten evils of lust, and Pei represents the ten evils of greed. The rest, they may have never met in person. Or maybe there was, but they didn't know it.
Less than half a month later, the weapons dealer handed the carefully crafted white copper scabbard to Xie Zhe's hand. He was sincerely honored to be able to make the scabbard for this wonderful weapon. Not only did he turn down other orders during the production period, he also waived labor fees for them, only paying a small amount of money to not lose money, which made a few people feel a little uncomfortable. Good riddance. To say that his skills are also very impressive, Fengyun Slash and this scabbard are very consistent and integrated in terms of appearance and weight.
Afterwards, Mutsuki-kun came back, and the three of them followed him on the road. Mutsuki-kun can't protect everyone to go through the six spiritual veins, so he can only approach the destination through some small spiritual veins. Mutsuki-kun didn't tell them what he wanted them to do at the beginning, but told a new story on the way.
A story about a scholar.
Before the war of gods took place thousands of years ago, there was an ordinary scholar in this country. His name had long been forgotten and had become insignificant. Many small things in a scholar's life are also lost in time. What has been handed down is probably the deep friendship he had with a general at that time.
Even though Kanna-kun's journey has not yet begun, this land is still filled with wars and conquests. It was during these large and small battles that the general got acquainted with a scholar who was accompanying the army. One of them is a military general and the other is a scholar. They are very different in age. The scholar is not even much older than the general's daughter. However, these differences cannot be an obstacle to friendship. The feelings of comradeship naturally accumulate and brew, and the two gradually become brothers and become friends who share life and death. They had supported each other, stationed in the windy sand at the border, and walked through the battlefield of blood and fire... until one day, the general received a new order.
He was sent to Jiutian Kingdom. That year, the evil gods dormant in that land had set up a barrier to surround the Nine Heavens Kingdom into a treacherous place where there was no return. The general is just a martial arts practitioner. He has no knowledge of mystical arts and cannot cross the barrier and return to his homeland. He never returned and was never heard from again. The scholar was naturally extremely worried, and the one who was even more anxious was the general's daughter.
His daughter is quite a figure. She was one of the friends who fought alongside Kanna-kun in the battle against the evil god. She is the adopted daughter of the general, but the general treats her as his own child, and she also treats him as a close relative. How could she stay out of it when something like this happened? It was natural for her to go to Jiutian Kingdom in person.
The scholar thought so too... Even though he was concerned about her safety, he did not stop her. Who would deny her loyalty and filial piety? Even more or less supporting her in this journey. The scholar went to the port in person to say goodbye to the child he had watched grow up.
There the boy, who called him uncle and loved him with great admiration, bade him farewell and embarked to sea. He also read the almanac for her. It was such a good day. The wind was sunny and it was indeed a good time to travel.
Then she never came back.
After that world-famous killing, the barrier collapsed, and the imperial court, no longer trying to push the envelope, finally sent a ship to take the general back to his hometown. During the war, the general and his daughter had met in Jiutian Kingdom. Even if they were separated later, he thought they would come back in batches. But after setting foot on his homeland, all he saw was a letter from his daughter.
Farewell letter.
Where has she gone? No one knows, life or death is unknown, people only know that she never came back.
The scholar never saw her again, except a few times. He never saw the general again. The former is because he has nowhere to look for her, while the latter is because he has no face to see her. Some people said that it was because he felt guilty about the general's daughter. After all, he was the one who allowed the child to go find the general, and it was he who personally sent the child on the road of no return.
This is not the whole story. The scholar was naturally regretful and apologetic, but at the beginning, like the general, he did not lose hope. The general asked the court for permission to go to Jiutian Kingdom again; the scholar was preparing for the imperial examination, but he also abandoned his affairs and traveled up and down, hoping to clear the way for his friends. The general's requests were rejected again and again. It was said that he was afraid that he would make another mistake. It was said that he wanted to keep him to serve the country because of pity. It was said that... the court already knew that he had his own power in Jiutian Kingdom and was afraid of recruiting troops. Self-respect.
The general was speechless. The so-called forces were just a team conquered in the war of gods in order to defeat the evil gods and leave protection for the people of the Nine Heavens Kingdom. He wanted to explain, but he couldn't argue with it. He was angry but also understood; he was powerless and helpless.
Finally, the court relented and allowed him to go to sea. But before setting off, he needed to serve his country one more time, regain a lost territory, and put down the rebellion there. The general was hesitant. After all, he had no eyesight. His life didn't matter, but if there were shortcomings, how could he find his daughter? Besides, time waits for no one. What if it takes three to five years and it's too late? There are indeed still his cronies in Jiutian Kingdom, and they have even sent him a letter, saying that they can prepare a ship for him and that he can set off on his own at any time.
The general was undecided. He thought that caring would lead to chaos. He couldn't make up his mind, so he discussed it with his old friends. The scholar told him that a person should be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He spent half his life in the army, but he never thought that he would end up regretting it. The scholar further explained that he was not advising him to be someone who would sacrifice his family for the sake of everyone, but that it would not be a good thing if he left a clue and did something against his will. He had also inquired about the place where the trouble was caused, and found that the traitors were not common. , the general only needs to go once and show his loyalty to the court, and then he can go to Jiutian Kingdom in a logical and fair manner, getting the best of both worlds.
They talked all night long for the first time in a long time, pushing glasses to each other and getting very drunk.
The general followed his advice, swept away his worries, and went to court the next day, taking orders to lead his troops and go out to quell the chaos. After hearing the news, the scholar sat alone at home, his heart felt like a huge loss, and he could not rest for a long time. He didn't lie to the general, but he didn't mean what he said. He thought of the imperial officials who visited a few days ago and the accusations they made against the general: intending to rebel, colluding with private soldiers, secretly receiving letters from other countries...
Every word is heartbreaking.
