The horned tiger demon king said, "Oh, about twenty breaths behind me."
"Can you describe that person's appearance?" Fang Yun asked again. If they were not those acquaintances, there would be no need to go. After all, in Shengxu, one can kill people at will without worrying about being tracked down. Because of the mysterious power of the ancient land, no matter what one does, it will not affect one's literary courage and literary mind.
"Appearance? I didn't notice. He was so scared that he ran back to the swamp and died." The tone of the Horned Tiger Demon King did not change at all compared to before. It was obvious that he didn't care about the life or death of a human being.
"So that's how it is. Thank you, Senior Demon King. I wonder where the star demon village is here?" Fang Yun asked.
The Horned Tiger Demon King stretched out his right front paw, pointed in a direction, and said, "It's there. The Holy Ruins have been turned upside down a few days ago, and there have been huge changes. You'd better take care of yourself. If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to care, but you are different. You have a powerful moonlight, and it seems that you are on good terms with my Star Demon Clan. It would be a pity to die here. Also, there are many Holy Blood Demons in front of you, you'd better not go."
After the Horned Tiger Demon King finished speaking, he ran quickly and disappeared into the fog.
Fang Yun noted the direction of the Holy Clan monsters and walked towards the Star Monster village, feeling grateful for the split of the monster clan.
The oldest demon clan only absorbed the power of the stars and the moon, and even the most recent power of the sun, but later, the demon clan discovered that they could gain power and improve their strength faster by eating other demon clans, so the demon clan was divided into blood demons that eat other demon clans, and star demons that do not eat other demon clans.
Since the blood demons grew much faster than the star demons, some even thought that the star demons were aliens. After the blood demons grew stronger, there was an era of hunting and killing the star demons. This was later stopped by the Demon Saint, but the number of star demons became smaller and smaller. Later, the star demons gradually went into seclusion and wandered around the world. The demon world had become the world of blood demons.
The same goes for the barbarians, who are also divided into blood barbarians and star barbarians.
After the blood demons and blood barbarians dominated the demon world for a long time, the human race finally produced King Wen of Zhou, ushering in the era of talent.
The blood demon has gained strength, but is prone to losing its mind when using the power of qi and blood. Although the star demon grows slowly, it is more rational and rarely goes crazy.
Star demons have no blood feud with humans, but instead have a deep hatred for blood demons. Therefore, star demons are not very resistant to humans. However, most star demons remain neutral, and only a few will attack blood demons for the sake of humans.
In the inheritance of the Star Demon, the moon gives the demon clan the most power, so people who possess the moonlight are considered by the Star Demon to be blessed by the Moon God. The more moonlight one possesses, the better the Star Demon’s attitude will be.
"At the level of a demon king, I'm afraid he won't care about the life and death of humans. He specifically pointed out the demon enemies ahead for me, which shows how much moonlight is in me."
Fang Yun was thankful in his heart, although the star demons rarely killed people, but getting help from the star demons and not getting it were definitely two different concepts, it could be said that Yuehua and the Horned Tiger Demon King had saved his life.
"The main threats to the Holy Ruins are the terrible forces of nature, the two tribes of demons and barbarians, and the methods of the evil king! Although the help of the star demons is good, it is ultimately limited. But Yuehua has other great benefits!"
Fang Yun thought to himself, wrote a running poem on his shirt, and ran towards the Star Demon Village at a faster speed.
Soon, Fang Yun saw a village. Village is just a name given by humans, and it can only be called a habitat for monsters.
It was a two thousand feet high mountain with many caves on it. There were dozens of barbarian tents at the foot of the mountain, and two formal houses that looked like they could be blown down by the wind at any time.
Two candidates were standing at the foot of the mountain and communicating with a barbarian holding a big axe. Fang Yun had seen the two men before but was not familiar with them. He vaguely remembered that one of them was a descendant of Jia Yi's family.
Jia Yi's famous essay "On the Qin Dynasty" is a piece of writing that astonished the world. He himself was also a famous writer of Han Dynasty fu, who specialized in Confucianism and later became a semi-saint, leaving his reputation for generations to come.
Fang Yun walked to the edge of the village, and the Niu Manren and the two scholars looked over at him.
The Holy Ruins are dangerous, but the young man from the Jia Yi family was not on guard at all and happily walked quickly to greet them. However, the other man stepped back vigilantly, put down the board on his chest, picked up a pen, and was ready to fight at any time.
"Brother Fang, I didn't expect to meet you so soon. I feel much more at ease with you here."
"Brother Jia, you are too polite. I don't even know your name." Fang Yun said.
"If you don't mind, just call me Jing'an." Jia Jing'an said.
At this time, another person said sarcastically: "Brother Jing'an, you have always been honest, don't let yourself be sold out. You and I are both children of aristocratic families, there is no need to harm each other for a little thing, but the children of poor families will do anything to get ahead, and even dare to participate in the competition for the second place in the sage category!"
Fang Yun immediately guessed the identity of this person. He was most likely from Xunzi's family. The sentence in Three Character Classic, "When a man is born, his nature is good," would not have caused the Xunzi family to target him too much. However, Three Character Classic made the front page of Holy Way, and the theory of human nature being good upheld by Mencius' family prevailed, while the Xunzi family, who believed in the theory of human nature being evil, was somewhat passive. As a result, some members of the Xunzi family regarded Fang Yun as a thorn in their side.
Fang Yun was helpless about this matter, because neither the theory of human nature being good nor the theory of human nature being evil could be considered wrong. This had been debated for more than two thousand years in the ancient Chinese nation, and it was also being debated in the Shengyuan Continent, but there was still no conclusion.
The dispute between Xunzi's family and Mencius' family was actually caused by Xunzi, because Xunzi clearly criticized Mencius, but Mencius never responded.
After reading "Xunzi" carefully, Fang Yun admired some of Xunzi's ideas, but Xunzi's words were too harsh. He criticized everyone except Confucius. Mencius, Mozi and others were among those he criticized. He was the first person to be canonized as a saint by "criticizing saints".
Jia Jingan said: "Brother Xun Ye, you also know that Fang Yun actually has no intention of targeting Xunzi and your family, so why should we be hostile in the Holy Ruins? In this Holy Ruins, our common enemy is the monsters."
"The man from the Mengzi family quoted the Three Character Classic and said that even a child knows that human nature is good at birth. He scolded my grandfather and said he was not even as good as a child. He made my grandfather so angry that he vomited blood, and he cursed Renhe and Fang Yun of the Meng family. If I join forces with him, it would be unfilial! Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. I choose filial piety over loyalty! Don't worry, I won't kill him, but I will never help him! I admit that he is outstanding, and Yuehua is far beyond us, but he is just a scholar after all. He may be able to remain immortal in the Holy Ruins, but if he wants to get any benefits, it will be extremely difficult!" Xun Ye said.
Jia Jing'an said helplessly: "Brother Xun Ye, since you have made your choice, I will not persuade you anymore." After saying that, he did not walk towards Xun Ye, but still stood beside Fang Yun.
Fang Yun looked at Xun Ye and ignored him, saying as he walked away, "Brother Jing'an, are you planning to stay here or go out on your own?"
Jia Jing'an followed Fang Yun and said, "The Holy Ruins are too dangerous. Except for the disciples of the Mohist School and the Military School, who can travel alone, the others are still a little behind. I plan to wait for two more days. If others come, we will explore together. If not, I will just walk around this village."
"Then I'll wait a while too. By the way, don't go in that direction. A demon king told me that there are many demons from the holy clan there." Fang Yun said, pointing in a direction.
"Thank you Fang Maocai!" Jia Jing'an was very happy. This sentence might mean a life.
Xun Ye suddenly sneered and said, "I know you have a lot of Moonlight, and the Monster King will not kill you, but I have read all the travel notes of the Holy Ruins, and I have never seen a Monster King showing the way for the human race. The Holy Ruins are not like other places. The monsters here don't live long. The Monster King is almost the highest leader here, and there are only a few of them."
Fang Yun glanced at Xun Ye and said, "I ignored your provocation before because I knew that the dispute over the Saint Way would not tolerate any injustice, but you kept pestering me again and again, which is too much! What does my conversation with Brother Jing An have to do with you? If I were your teacher, I would punish you by making you copy Xunzi a hundred times! You only have the Saint Xun's Way, but not his wisdom!"
"You..." Xun Ye knew he was in the wrong and said, "You are still like this in the Holy Ruins. I overestimated you before!"
"I don't need you to see it!" Fang Yun no longer paid attention to Xun Ye and prepared to ask the Niu Man people about some situations, because this place was not on the map given by Li Fanming, and the terrain seemed to have changed.
Fang Yun was about to talk to the Bull Barbarian, but Xun Ye immediately said, "I have already paid the Bull Barbarian with the axe, and he only talks to me. Please find someone else!"
Fang Yun frowned slightly and was about to turn around and look elsewhere, but the Bull Barbarian suddenly half-knelt on the ground and said in a demonic voice with great admiration: "Meet the Moon Emperor."
"Uh... you got the wrong person." Fang Yong said in a demonic language.
The Bull Barbarian said without hesitation: "We Star Barbarians have passed down from generation to generation that the demon barbarian with the power of moonlight overflowing must be the Moon Emperor under the Moon God's throne."
"But... I am a human." Fang Yun said.
"Our barbarian race has been passed down from generation to generation. The demon race and the human race are all descendants of our barbarian race. If you think about it carefully, our barbarian race has the characteristics of both the demon race and the human race. We are the ancestors of the demon race and the human race."
Fang Yun was stunned. This statement seemed to make sense at first glance. Previous legends said that the barbarians were formed from the combination of humans and demons. So it actually made sense that the barbarians were rebelling now.
The Bull Barbarian said again: "If you don't believe me, you can say in a demonic voice, 'I am the Moon Emperor', and you will see the bright moon in your eyes."
Fang Yun took out a bronze mirror from the Hanhu Bei, and then looked at the bronze mirror, with nothing in his eyes, and then said: "I am the Moon Emperor!"
Two crescent moons appeared in Fang Yun’s eyes.
Fang Yun was stunned, Xun Ye was stunned, Jia Jing'an was also stunned when he looked at Fang Yun, only the Niu Man was complacent.
"Isn't it true that it has been passed down from generation to generation among us Star Barbarians?"
Fang Yun stared at the two crescent moons in his eyes in the mirror, and recalled his experience of "flying" to the moon and looking down at the Shengyuan Continent. He felt that the legend passed down from generation to generation by the Star Barbarians had some credibility, and he was unable to refute the Bull Barbarians.
The Bull Barbarian half-knelt on the ground, stared at Xun Ye and said, "Your Majesty the Moon Emperor, I don't understand what you are saying, but this man is disrespectful to you, do you want me to chop him off?"
Xun Ye was startled and stepped back hastily. He subconsciously activated Jinshi Wenbao, and saw a laurel tree of light and shadow appearing around him to protect him.
"Forget it, if he wants to harm me, you can do it." Fang Yun said.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Moon Emperor." The Niu Manren stood up, held his head and chest high, and treated Fang Yun very seriously.
"First tell me about the surrounding situation, and then tell me about the inheritance of your Star Barbarians." Fang Yun said.
"Yes, sir!" the Bull Barbarian kept saying.
Xun Ye didn't expect that the moonlight would make Fang Yun the Moon King. He felt a little regretful and was thinking of ways to make up for it when he saw an old acquaintance showing up with two spirit beasts. (To be continued...)
