Chapter 298 [Statue of the Witch]
My name is Zuo Jihong.
When I was born, I looked different from the children around me.
People said I was a monster, and I looked at them and looked at my tentacles.
I'm probably ugly, maybe I'm really a monster.
To say that I am a monster, I already have the intention of boasting.
If I really want to say, I should be a shameless mouse in this city, and it should be a product of human beings being ashamed to speak of.
It is a failure of civilization.
It's garbage.
I think so, we all think so.
...
I carry a white cloth, which is the way charitable humans give us mice to live.
Look, take this white cloth and live in the shadows and dampness! The yamen runners on the street said to me with a smile.
"Ah, Moonlight Fish, just 3-way coins."
The vendors on the street were shouting and selling the moonlight.
This moonlight is fake.
Every time I see it, I will mutter this in my heart.
But I only dare to mutter like this. After all, I am a mouse who can't do anything, and I have to count on these men who sell moonlight to give me some leftovers.
Moonlight, moonlight.
I sat on the stone steps, shining in the moonlight.
I always sit on the stone steps in front of the door of a wealthy family, watching the moonlight.
Maybe it’s my illusion. I always feel that even moonlight treats us very harshly. So I always wonder if the moonlight of these wealthy families will be brighter?
So I always stayed in front of their room, thinking that I could also get some moonlight that mice could not shine on weekdays.
"You took my place, my friend."
A figure stood in front of me.
He said his name was Wu.
From now on, whenever I think back to this moment, I find it interesting. It turns out that Wu has already started to make arrangements and has set his sights on me.
Because I am the boss of this tentacle man, it will leave an impression on me and make it easier for him to do things in the future.
But I don’t care, but I’m extremely grateful. Fortunately, I am the boss of this area. It’s probably my honor to be able to get to know Wu so easily.
My real moonlight is here.
But at that time I only thought he was really annoying and blocked my light.
"I've been here in Hexi for a year." I waved my hand impatiently. This was a way for mice to pass each other.
So the other party also carried tentacles, otherwise even if it was a human beggar, I would have to get out obediently.
"Is that so? I've been there for thirty years?" Behind the witch in front of me was the bright moonlight.
When the moonlight was not blocked, I felt it was really dim.
But the moonlight is now blocked, just looking at the outline of the person in front of me, I actually feel that the surroundings seem to be brighter.
I looked at the outline of the person in front of me with some eagerness, and I began to imagine how bright the moonlight behind him should be.
"Thirty years?! My friend, I have tentacles, but this doesn't mean I'm a fool!" I said angrily.
Thirty years? How could there be thirty years?
The tentacle man squatted at the door of someone else's house, as disgusting as a dog shit on the steps in front of someone else's house.
I have been staying at the door of a family for thirty years. If I say something implicitly, it is that I should have been taken to feed the fish.
It is time to stay in the place when the octopus returns, and it can also be said that it has contributed to the thriving growth of the moonlight fish.
But we shouldn't live well.
The person in front of me shrugged without objection, and seemed to be planning to convince me.
"Don't you mean you're a fool with your tentacles? I'm a little impressed with you."
Humph, who are you? What's the use of appreciating me?
I snorted, picked up the kettle beside me and poured a sip of lake water into my mouth.
The main reason is that I can’t afford to buy wine, so I can only drink the lake water in the moonlight.
The man suddenly smiled, "It's interesting, we'll see you next time."
I waved my hand indifferently and told him to get out quickly.
When we met again, a black cloth hung on his face, leading me and other compatriots to a day of crazy life.
...
Zuo Jihong rubbed his head and woke up from the throne of the sect leader of Tianya Sect.
The witch has been away for several days, but he still always dreams of the witch.
"It's really..." Zuo Jihong shook his head with a smile. He was really immature at that time. It was not until after the Tianya Sect was officially established that Zuo Jihong realized that behind the stone steps he was sitting on was the yard of the Wu family.
Wu might not have really approached him with an abacus at that time.
When Zuo Jihong thought of this, he would get goosebumps all over his body, which was even more shattered than the tentacles on his face.
"Come!"
Zuo Jihong shouted to the door.
After a while, several disciples came in at the door.
"Big... Sect Master." Several disciples said awkwardly.
They wanted to blurt out the elder brother's words.
Fortunately, the change was quick.
Zuo Jihong nodded indifferently, but he actually didn't care about these things.
"Notify others and build a statue for Master Wu, just..." Zuo Jihong looked around, but he didn't think of a good location. "Build it in the main hall! Built next to me."
Several disciples thought about it and thought it was a good thing.
"No problem, let's do it right away." They answered immediately.
Zuo Jihong nodded with relief. He only hoped that when Wu came back in the future, he would feel at home.
...
Tongzhou Prefecture.
Wu looked at the statue at the intersection and silently put on his black cloth mask again.
He has always claimed to be crazy and his things he does are all profound events.
But he never expected that when it comes to the word "crazy", no one can compare with fans.
"Who is this statue carved?"
"This seems to be a tentacle man..."
"I was curious before, what kind of person dared to do this? Build such a statue here."
The witch walked by the roadside silently wearing a mask. He had already investigated some clues from the secret realm, but then he returned to Tianya Mountain. He never thought that Zuo Jihong and others would do such a job for him.
but……
The witch looked at everyone's discomfort with the tentacles, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up slightly.
That's it.
Change the mainstream of this era step by step.
Or in other words, Wu believed that the mainstream of this era should be their tentacles, and he just quietly accelerated the process.
Listening to everyone's disgust and insult to the tentacles, the witch's mood suddenly became much happier and her steps became a little lighter.
"Bang."
I came to the familiar Hexi again, which is Wu’s home.
It is also the home of the Wu family.
The reason why I came back this time was to investigate the establishment of the secret realm and the Wu family.
"Oh, is anyone?"
The wu smiled and knocked on the door of his courtyard.
The people here should have moved away long ago.
It’s just that the witch sensed that there was someone inside.
"Is it a witch?"
The familiar voice sounded, and the smile on the witch's face became even more pleasant.
"Brother Ermao, it's been a long time since we met."
