With that said, Wen Jiubai stood up and put a few books into the bookcase beside him.
"However, compared to some little monsters that run around everywhere. The gu carving only wakes up every few years, eats almost a village of people, and then returns to sleep in its own lair. Its personality can be regarded as quite It's peaceful."
"Ping, Pinghe?" I was dumbfounded by Wen Jiubai's choice of words, "Wait, you call eating a village of people Pinghe?"
Wen Jiubai frowned, and looked back at me, "At least it didn't make trouble or make trouble on purpose. Generally speaking, monsters like that are more annoying."
This guy Wen Jiubai! I should have known a long time ago, this guy's heart is not long at all, I still expect him to say something human!
"How many people are there in a village?" I asked with suppressed anger.
"Well—" Wen Jiubai really thought about it for a while, "There are about four or five hundred people in a small village, and a few thousand people in a larger village."
"Is the life of thousands of people meaningless to you?" I finally couldn't help getting angry.
"Gu Yu." Wen Jiubai's face showed the familiar expression of "I really can't do anything about you", "What is the meaning to you?"
"I—" I froze for a moment, and said angrily, "At least I won't treat the lives of thousands of people as nothing!"
"However, people are dying every day in this world." Wen Jiubai's expression was very cold, "Car accidents, birth, old age, sickness, death, suicide and murder are far many times larger than the number of thousands of people, why are people indifferent to this? ?”
"It's different!" I argued, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, how can they be compared!"
"I see. That is to say, do you think it is not a natural law for Gu carvings to eat people?"
"Isn't that of course!"
"So, it's a natural law for rabbits to eat grass, but isn't it a natural law for wolves to eat rabbits?" Wen Jiubai smiled.
"This, this is..." I was speechless all of a sudden, "How can a human and a rabbit be the same!"
"Gu Yu, this is the arrogance of human beings." Wen Jiubai's eyes suddenly darkened, and he whispered, "For thousands of years, human beings have stood at the top of the biological chain, multiplying like mice , spread all over the world, and control all other creatures. If other creatures think that there are gods in the world, they must be human beings. However, in the final analysis, human beings are just one member of the vast world. If human beings If you think you are the word of God, then you are too foolish.”
Wen Jiubai is indeed a top-notch sophist, and I have absolutely nothing to refute.
"In this world, there are still many areas that humans don't understand at all. Some evil beasts live longer than the entire history of humans. The staple food of Gu carvings is humans, and this has not changed since thousands of years ago. "Wen Jiubai narrowed his eyes and said, "Just like a wolf eats rabbits, it is just a habit to prey on humans. Compared with the ghosts that some humans turn into after death, the gu carvings are just to fill their stomachs. That's why I It is said that its temper is quite peaceful."
It's just sophistry! This set of inexplicable remarks is nothing more than an excuse for his callous and ruthless approach. I opened my mouth, and just when I was about to say something to refute, an invisible force made me unable to make a sound.
By the way, Chibai. Chubai probably couldn't stand it anymore, so she stopped me from arguing with Wen Jiubai.
Oh no. I suddenly felt hot on my face. When he was arguing with Wen Jiubai just now, he completely forgot about the existence of Chubai, and let her see such an unseemly scene.
I immediately shut my mouth, and an awkward silence spread between the two of us.
I should have accepted this fact long ago.
Wen Jiubai is not a human being, he doesn't look at problems like a human being at all, but is frighteningly rational from the perspective of a bystander. Sometimes I even feel that those obsidian eyes don't care about anyone's life or death.
But having said that... Such Wen Jiubai. Why did you choose to exterminate demons for human beings
"found it!"
At this moment, Bai's abrupt cry startled me and interrupted my thoughts at the same time.
Wen Jiubai turned his head, and I also looked at Bai. Bai was lying on a thin thread-bound booklet, stretching out his little paw and waving at us.
"Wen Jiubai! Hey, come over and have a look, is this the rune you were looking for?"
Wen Jiubai stood up, stepped on a few books with bare feet and walked over, took out the booklet from under Bai's body, flipped through a few pages, and smiled, "Well, that's right, this is it. The rune I used when I sealed the Gu carving last time."
"However, didn't it escape from your seal last time?" I also strode from the door to where Bai was, and asked.
"That's right, so I have to improve this spell and formation this time." Wen Jiubai's tone returned to normal, and he showed me a harmless smile, "Gu Yu, you will definitely help right?"
—————————
This busy work turned out to be really busy until midnight.
I have to admit that Wen Jiubai, who is working hard, does have a unique charm. The peach blossom eyes narrowed, the brows were furrowed, and the brush drew different symbols on each piece of rice paper. It's just that Bai and I, who were on the sidelines helping him, were wronged. Even though we were excited at first, we all yawned in the end.
"That's about it." When he was sleepy, he suddenly heard Wen Jiubai say this.
I quickly forced myself to wake up, "Huh? I-Is it over?"
"That's right, thank you for helping me look up the information and grind the ink." Wen Jiubai smiled at me, "I made some improvements to the previous technique, this time I should be able to extend the sealing time of the Gu carving. "
"Is it just extended?" I took down a few books on the table, and looked at the spell drawn by Wen Jiubai, "Can't it be completely wiped out once and for all?"
"That's impossible." Wen Jiubai shrugged and said, "This guy's strength should not be underestimated, but it is already very difficult to seal it. Given time, it will definitely break free again, and then it can only be sealed again gone."
I wanted to say something, but Wen Jiubai interrupted me with a tired face, "Okay, don't argue with me now. Go to the side room and sleep for a while, but remember to set the alarm clock, don't delay tomorrow's class."
"Then when are you going to seal that monster?"
"Come over again when school is over tomorrow."
I don't know if Wen Jiubai noticed my furrowed brows, and suddenly smiled at me.
"What's wrong? Don't worry about me, nothing will happen." Wen Jiubai stretched out his hand and touched my cheek.
