"What about you?"
Lingchu looked away from the anxious little demon Yan Yu, and turned to look at the master and apprentice, the old and the young.
The young man's eyebrows were filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth but refused to speak.
The old man was more knowledgeable. He first bowed respectfully and solemnly to Lingchu, paused, and then hesitantly bowed his hand slightly towards Qingkong, who was lazily wagging his tail in Lingchu's arms.
"Junior Chu Qianzhong, studied under the Demon Luo Sect, and has cultivated in the late stage of foundation building. This is my apprentice, Qi Xuanming," the old man named Chu Qianzhong introduced himself briefly, and then gestured with his head. Seeing the stiffness on his face, the young man sighed and continued, "Senior, please don't blame me. This apprentice of mine is an ordinary mortal, but..."
At this point, Chu Qianzhong paused for a moment, and then tried to speak as calmly as possible, "It's just that my hometown was attacked by a big monster when I was young, and there were countless casualties. I found the mysterious monster in a sea of blood." Ming, this child is stubborn and accepts death. He was unwilling to leave his hometown, even to the point of not getting water, until the younger generation told him that if he wants revenge, he must first survive."
"This junior's sect, the Luo Yao Sect has been slaying demons and protecting the peace of the world since ancient times. Xuan Ming, a child with good talent and a tough mind, encountered such a change, and has followed this junior since then. Running around here and there, slaying demons and slaying demons, I passed by this place the day before yesterday and accidentally saw a looming evil spirit here, so we master and disciple came to Yantan Mountain."
Talking about the changes in his hometown, the young man Qi Xuanming clenched his hands hanging in his sleeves tightly, and the coldness and hostility between his brows and eyes became more and more intense. The demon-slaying sword on his back seemed to feel the thoughts of the sword holder, and slightly It trembled, and a faint sharp aura overflowed.
Chu Qianzhong's expression changed, and Yan Yu, who was huddled in the corner, twisted his little head uncomfortably.
I saw a snow-white cat lying lazily in Lingchu's arms, its tail swinging leisurely and gently flicking in the direction of the demon-slaying sword.
The demon-slaying sword actually made a slight beep, which was unusually sharp, but rather hesitant, and then fell silent.
Qi Xuanming, who was carrying the demon-slaying sword, didn't feel much better. He took two steps back suddenly, his footsteps were heavy, and he actually left two shallow footprints on the stone ground.
Chu Qianzhong stood up quickly, grabbed his apprentice, and his already somewhat old body resolutely stood in front of Qi Xuanming. He snorted, "Senior, please calm down!"
Seeing Qingkong showing off his power, Yan Yu, who had been nestling quietly, suddenly became happy, and his long upturned tail feathers trembled twice.
A snow-white hand gently touched the top of Qingkong's head. Qingkong's strange-colored eyes suddenly curved happily, and his tail resumed its original slow swaying.
Qingkong was raised by humans since he was a child and often interacts with humans. He does not have much prejudice against human-monsters, which means that he will not be biased towards humans or monsters.
He only followed two principles.
First, whether he is an enemy of his master.
Second, look at your own preferences. If it conflicts with the first one, please refer to the first one.
The old man and the young man in front of him have no connection with the master. They are neither enemies nor friends. It is naturally based on his own preferences.
Qingkong didn't like this little human kid. When he mentioned the monster clan, his eyes were full of disgust and hostility, as if all the monster clan were heinous and evil monsters.
This gave the human cub a brief lesson.
Lingchu quite admired what Chu Qianzhong said about the Falling Demon Sect, which believed in killing demons and protecting the peace of the world.
Most monks pursue the way of heaven and immortality. Although peace and harmony in the world are also one of the maintenances of righteous monks, they will never be more important than their own path to immortality.
It is even less possible for him to spend his whole life slaying demons as his duty.
What most monks can pursue throughout their lives is eternal life.
Lingchu is no exception.
She doesn't mind seeing injustice on the road, and she doesn't mind supporting justice, but she will never spend her whole life doing it non-stop.
Qi Xuanming was already taller than his master Chu Qianzhong, so Chu Qianzhong's body in front of him could not completely cover his eyes.
It was a look that refused to admit defeat and was stubborn.
Lingchu smiled softly, "Xuan Ming, right? Let me ask you, why do you want to slay demons?"
Qi Xuanming knew that the woman in front of him was a human and a great monk, but she actually raised a demon!
And it was obvious that she had no murderous intention towards the swallow demon.
Qi Xuanming felt neither hostility nor respect for the senior in front of him.
Hearing the question, he pursed his lips and answered, "Don't all the seniors know that there are one hundred and sixty-eight people in my hometown, old and young, and none of them survived, they all died at the mouth of the demon clan! Liushu Village of Qiang Country , the whole village of 217 people worshiped a century-old willow tree for sixty years, but in the end, the willow tree sucked the marrow and devoured its flesh and died, leaving only bones all over the village! Li Guo Baishui Ze, There was an old turtle who was worshiped by the villagers every year. Every year he offered sacrifices of boys and girls, food, meat, wine and fruits. However, the year before last, because he left the country and encountered a natural disaster, the food was not abundant, so he offered half of it. He felt dissatisfied. It raised a vast ocean and flooded three towns and six villages around Baishui Ze!"
"Let me ask my senior, should such evil spirits be punished?"
After saying the last sentence, the young man's eyes turned red, like a wild beast that chooses people to devour.
However, Lingchu, who was sitting on the chair, was as steady as a rock. He was neither frightened nor indifferent. He just said very calmly, "Of course he deserves to be punished."
The voice was calm and calm, like the spring breeze in March or the light rain in summer.
Qi Xuanming, whose voice was choked with sobs, was like a handful of clear spring poured on his head. He became much clearer in an instant. He looked at Lingchu blankly and questioningly.
In Lingchu's life, in just a short period of a hundred years, he had seen seas of corpses and blood, and witnessed more than a thousand so-called tragedies in the world.
She ignored Qi Xuanming who was stunned, but looked at Yan Yu who had been sitting there, as if he was shocked by what Qi Xuanming said, "Yan Yu, let me ask you, have you ever killed anyone?"
Yan Yu was excited and suddenly came back to his senses from the terrible things Qi Xuanming said. He shook his little head repeatedly, and his childish voice was full of urgency, "I didn't! Yan Qi said, you can't kill people." ! If I kill someone, all the feathers on my body will fall off, and I will be struck by thunder! You can’t kill! Yan Qi is a human too!"
Obviously, Yan Yu was well protected and taught well by Yan Qi.
This is a simple Yan demon, and Yan Qi may be a kind human being.
After receiving Yan Yu's answer, Lingchu turned to look at Qi Xuanming again, "Those things you said have nothing to do with Yan Yu, so why do you want to kill her?"
Qi Xuanming was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes filled with determination, "She didn't kill anyone today, but that doesn't mean she won't kill anyone in the future! Monsters, none of them are kind!"
Chu Qianzhong was stunned on the spot. He thought of some memories that he never wanted to remember. In the end, there was a faint trace of loss in his eyes, and he couldn't say anything.
"Let me ask you again, what if the people who slaughtered your hometown were humans?"
"Then do you also want to kill everyone in the world?"

Fuyan suddenly realized that maybe he was a good debater?
