Chapter 22 Humans and Demons are incompatible
Song Wangchen was sitting upright in black clothes, stroking a guqin with his fingers, and the sound was melodious and long. He was currently in a simple bamboo house, with several blooming plum trees and tracts of bamboo forest outside.
It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and snowflakes had already begun to fall in the sky, leaving a vast expanse of white everywhere.
"What a ruthless young master, you really made me wait." He heard his voice before he saw him. He was stepping on the thick snow, making a "sizzling" sound, leaving deep marks on the ground.
Deep footprints.
Song Wangchen had already guessed who the visitor was but did not answer, his eyes never leaving the guqin.
"Why, you don't seem surprised at all that I'm here. We haven't seen you for five years. Have you ever thought about me?"
Mo Yun sat down leaning against the table, with a smile on his face and a lazy and free expression. He was dressed in red, but it was not gaudy, but made him look handsome and suave. A bottle of sake was still swaying back and forth in his hand.
.
In terms of appearance, Song Wangchen was slightly inferior to him, but it was a pity that his face was pale and lacked some spiritual energy. "Cough cough cough cough..." He suddenly coughed and looked painful.
Song Wangchen stood up and poured him a cup of hot tea and handed it to him. After drinking the tea, his cough became much relieved.
"Why so weak?"
"Haha, it's okay, I just suffered from some wind and cold." Mo Yun regained his previous energy, raised the sake in his hand and said, "Hateful farewell, do you want to drink?"
"Hateful Farewell" is the name he gave to this wine, just as the song "Hateful Farewell" played by Song Wangchen just now was also composed by him.
Song Wangchen shook his head and returned to the piano, playing a new song.
"This seems to be the first time I've heard you play 'Hen Li Chou'. Why didn't you play it again?"
Song Wangchen didn't answer, but Mo Yun laughed out loud, "Hahahaha, is it possible that Junior Brother Song is afraid that I will know that you are missing Junior Sister Xiaorou?"
"You are no longer a disciple of Muxi." Song Wangchen's words hit people's hearts directly.
Five years ago, Mo Yun was Zhu Yuanzhi's most proud disciple. He was free-spirited and enthusiastic by nature. When he was in Muxi, he made friends with everyone, and his best friend was undoubtedly Song Wangchen.
Song Wangchen was cold-tempered and withdrawn. Even Zi Jian rarely had anything to say to him, but Mo Yun always found a way to get him to talk. There was even a rare tacit understanding between them. As long as Song Wangchen looked at him, Mo Yun would
Understand his thoughts, this is a close friend.
As long as Song Wangchen was in Songfeng, Mo Yun would stay there all day long, playing the piano, dancing with the sword, drinking, and chatting. Although Mo Yun was talking most of the time, they still enjoyed this time. If it weren't for a
If an accident occurs, they will remain like this for the rest of their lives.
At that time, Zhu Changqin caught a snake demon from nowhere, and the Zhufeng disciples tested it every day. No matter how she begged for mercy or screamed, they would not let her go.
In the beginning, she would fight back, but the more she fought back, the more excited they became. Over the next few days, she was already covered with bruises. Gradually, she gave up resisting and only wanted to die.
How could Zhu Changqin let her go easily? He forced a pill into her mouth and said, "Get up and continue beating me. Junior brothers haven't practiced enough yet!"
"Get up, get up..." The people around him also started cheering.
Zhu Changqin lifted her collar and asked her to stand up, but when he let go, she fell heavily to the ground again.
"You're useless, how dare you pretend to be dead?" Zhu Changqin said as he kicked her hard several times. Seeing this, the disciples around her came over and kicked her violently, but she no longer had the strength to even shout.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Mo Yun immediately ran over and everyone dispersed. He immediately helped the snake demon up. She could no longer maintain her human form and turned into a small black snake and fell into Mo Yun's palm.
"Mo Yun, do you want to protect this snake demon? Don't forget that it is our bounden duty to eliminate demons. Do you want to be an enemy of Mu Xi?" Zhu Changqin deliberately provoked.
He had long disliked Mo Yun. As a disciple of Zhufeng, Mo Yun went to Pine Peak all day long, and was also on good terms with Song Wangchen, whom he hated most. The most disgusting thing was that Zhu Yuanzhi also favored Mo Yun even more.
"Chang Qin, she is about to die. Why are you still unwilling to let her go? Why don't you just give her a happy life?"
"Hmph, a demon is a demon. I can torture it any way I want. I don't need you to lecture me. Give it back to me."
Mo Yun stood up and asked, "If I return her to you, what are you going to do with her?"
"The monster I captured for testing, of course I will not let her die. Of course I will save it and continue the testing."
Zhu Changqin showed a playful and evil smile, and other disciples also laughed out loud, "Haha..."
"Unreasonable" Mo Yun said and left with the snake demon.
"Senior brother, are we going to let him go like this?" Li Qingyuan asked cautiously.
Zhu Changqin was not angry but smiled instead. His purpose was to let him take away the snake demon. Now it was easy to get rid of Mo Yun, a thorn in his side.
Half a day later, the news spread that Mo Yun injured a fellow disciple because of a snake demon. At this time, the three disciples were interrogating Mo Yun who was kneeling on the ground.
Behind Mo Yun, in addition to Zhu Changqin and his party, there are also Zijian, Song Wangchen and Cheng Xiaorou. They are all disciples of the inner chamber and are the future successors of Mu Xi. Naturally, they are here to listen to such things as a warning.
Follow suit.
"Mo Yun, do you know that you are wrong?" Cheng Jin asked first.
"Mo Yun doesn't know what's wrong?"
"You took away the monster without permission and even injured a fellow disciple. How dare you say that you are not at fault."
Mo Yun knew that Zhu Changqin was narrow-minded, but he did not expect that he would dare to fabricate facts. He looked at an injured disciple over there, and the disciple immediately cried out in pain.
"Back to Jin Songzun, Mo Yun took away the snake demon, but he did not injure any of his fellow disciples."
"You still dare to quibble. You took the snake demon away by force, and your junior brother argued with you, and then you injured him. These junior brothers all saw it with their own eyes," Zhu Changqin immediately retorted.
Li Qingyuan echoed, "Yes, we have all seen it. You injured your junior brother, and you still dare to deny it."
"Yes, we saw it too..." Several other people also echoed.
"Aren't all of us slandering you, or do you think Master is easy to deceive?" Zhu Changqin asked even further.
Mo Yun also wanted to explain, but Zhu Yuanzhi was already furious and stood up and ordered, "Mo Yun, hand over the snake demon."
When Zhu Changzhi met Mo Yun by chance, he decided to accept him as his disciple. Seeing that he had this rare opportunity, Mo Yun's father happily allowed him to join Zhu Yuanzhi's sect.
"Master, it's too late, I have let her go."
"You, you..." Zhu Yuanzhi pointed at him but was so angry that he couldn't speak. If he handed over the snake demon, he could keep him safe, but now...
"You're talking nonsense. There's no way you can let her go." Zhu Changqin knew that if he sent the snake demon away at this time, it would definitely die. Since he saved it, he would definitely not let it die.
"Go, search for me." Zhu Yuanzhi ordered, and Zhu Changqin and his party went to Mo Yun's room and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, not missing any corner, but still found nothing.
"Reporting to Master, we couldn't find it."
Mo Yun was always calm. He had already put it into a cold spring to heal its wounds. The cold spring was so deep that even if it sent people to search, it would be in vain.
"Evil fellow, how dare you put it into the cold spring?" Zhu Yuanzhi saw his appearance and already guessed that he understood him after all.
"Yes, Master, please calm down."
"Okay, you are so brave. You injured a fellow disciple and left the monster in the cold spring. If I want to kill it now, will you fight me?"
"Mo Yun doesn't dare, please master, please calm down."
"Is there anything else you dare not do? It seems that you have never taken me as a teacher seriously, nor have you taken Mu Xi seriously. In this case, I will abolish your cultivation. From now on, you
It has nothing to do with me or Muxi anymore."
Zhu Yuanzhi's words were decisive, but he was very reluctant to give up in his heart. However, he was in charge of the precepts of Muxi. If his disciples made mistakes and were not punished, how could he establish his authority in the future.
"Junior brother, this..." Cheng Jin couldn't bear it and wanted to give some advice, but Zhu Yuanzhi waved his hand to stop him. Cheng Jin looked at the people below and finally said nothing.
Mo Yun suddenly stood up when he heard the words, glared at everyone and said, "I dare to ask Master, the Muxi precepts mean that practitioners can trample on the lives of demons at will, even if the demon is just a woman with no power to bind a chicken, even if they have never
Harmful to others, what is the difference between such a cultivator and a demon?"
"You bastard, you compare us to monsters, you..." Zhu Yuanzhi was so angry that he couldn't speak.
However, Mo Yun did not stop and continued to ask, "I dare to ask Master, it has been more than a thousand years since the Muxi sect was founded, how many people have ascended to become immortals?"
His words stunned everyone present. Indeed, no one in Muxi has ascended in thousands of years, not even the ancestor of Muxi, Mu Han, let alone other immortal sects.
Seeing no one answered, Mo Yun sneered, "Haha, it's really ridiculous. Then do you know why no one has ascended?"
"That's because you are stubborn and stubborn. For thousands of years, you have only focused on getting rid of monsters, but you never care whether those monsters deserve to die."
His words once again hit people's hearts. Everyone looked at each other and no one refuted. After a while, Zhu Yuanzhi roared out, "That's nonsense. A demon is a demon. Even if the demon doesn't hurt anyone now, how can you guarantee that it won't hurt anyone in the future?"
"Humans and monsters have never been at odds with each other. How can one person judge Muxi's thousand-year legacy?"
"Master, have you ever heard of someone?"
"who?"
"This person is Ling Cheng, the junior brother of the First Lord Mu Han. Thousands of years ago, he was loyal and wanted the human world and the demon world to coexist peacefully. However, the First Lord united with other immortal sects to force him to death. Otherwise, he would definitely become an immortal.
The first person to ascend."
Ling Cheng's matter is taboo in the Xian family, and not many people know about it. Only the previous heads of Mu Xi will inform the previous head when they take over, as a warning to others.
Mo Yun accidentally dropped an ancient book under the bookshelf when he went to the library. While picking up the book, he accidentally found an ancient book covered with dust. The book had long been damaged, but the content inside it
But he was deeply attracted to Mo Yun.
This is an ancient book that records the life story of Ling Cheng. Ling Cheng is a man of extraordinary talent and bravery. He catches demons but does not kill them. He always prioritizes saving them. If he cannot save them, he will only seal them.
.
All he wanted in his life was peace in the world, but in the end he was besieged by his senior brothers and others, and he did not end well.
Mo Yun admired him deeply, and from then on he took this book with him to study it all day long. It was at that time that Song Wangchen was tempted by him and happened to see the section where Ling Cheng sealed the red flame golden lin beast, but this section in the book
The record is vague and it is obviously not what I saw with my own eyes.
He intended to read it again, but when he saw that this man was actually in love with the fox demon, he never touched the book again.
Later, the book suddenly disappeared, and Mo Yun gave up after searching for it. However, Ling Cheng lived in his heart from then on.
"How dare you mention this treasonous person in the main hall, and dare to insult our ancestor, Chang Qin. Take him to the Discipline Hall, and I will personally execute him." Zhu Yuanzhi spoke cruelly, his whole body trembling.
"Yes, Master"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Changqin came forward excitedly, but Mo Yun threw his hand away and said, "Go away, I will go by myself."
