Yuan Yuanyuan, who was following the Taoist priests, was thinking about what the white-bearded old man had told her a few days ago. Her hands were placed naturally vertically, showing that she was not holding any weapon, and her eyes were obediently lowered.
Next to them were the Taoist priests, following Yuan Yuanyuan and slowly walking forward. Yuan Yuanyuan was surrounded in the middle, and from her angle, she could see the Taoist priests' fluttering robes and expressionless faces.
Her eyes slowly lowered, looking at the shadows cast by several people on the ground.
Ever since that day when the white-bearded old man had a long talk with Yuan Yuanyuan all night, Yuan Yuanyuan remembered some of the things he said to her - the momentum between monsters and humans has never recovered since the war, so this time when they brought a negotiation team, although they had many ideas to negotiate with humans, the monsters were not in a very good situation anyway, so he specifically mentioned that she should calm down a little... In other words, the white-bearded old man was reminding her in various ways to calm down.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't understand why she had to keep a calm mind at first... Later, after communicating with the white-bearded old man for a while, she naturally deduced the reason from his words. It was nothing more than that this place was special. Of course, the things she deduced made her lose sanity, so she was depressed for a long time.
I still remember that when I was in junior high school, there was a universal sentence in the political exam, which said that those who fall behind will be beaten. If a group is strong, they can naturally act tougher. If they are weaker and still stick their necks out, they may beat you up if they are pushed into a corner. After Yuan Yuanyuan went back, she thought about the words of the white-bearded old man asking her to be quiet, and this is how she understood it.
But the monsters came in a rather large force this time, and the situation was almost as severe as during a war. When Yuan Yuanyuan heard what the white-bearded old man said, she felt a little amused. After all, you yourself said that the monsters were in a bad situation, and you even secretly told your subordinates not to provoke them. So why... are you still putting on such a high profile
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't understand the political games. In her eyes, the monsters were just like a caterpillar that used the patterns on its body to disguise itself as a snake... It was okay anyway, she could be considered to understand the monsters' methods. Insiders only knew that it was a worm, and what outsiders saw was the snake's skin. After all, a caterpillar that grew into that kind of caterpillar was the result of natural selection.
After all, that kind of caterpillar has scared away many predators... So under such circumstances, it is understandable that it made such a choice again. The old man told Yuan Yuanyuan the whole story in advance, probably because he was afraid that she would think the monster was still the same monster from the past, so he kept hinting to her that the monster today was actually an empty shell and could not support a war now.
-Yiqi was a famous general. Although he died tragically, the impression left before his death was during the First World War. The First World War was the peak of the monsters. According to historical records, he organized several big monsters to massacre humans over a disagreement. They were extremely brutal and arrogant.
The old man with white beard was probably afraid that Yi Qi would misunderstand the monsters of today because of the scene when he came this time, and thought that the monsters of today continued the iron-blooded style of the past, so he talked with Yuan Yuanyuan all night, mainly to persuade her not to act rashly - after all, the monster army is no longer the same as it was back then. To be honest, although Yuan Yuanyuan is a human at heart, she was inexplicably sad about what she said that night. It has nothing to do with race. It is always sad to see a beautiful woman with white hair and a hero with old age.
As the saying goes, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. With the reminder from the white-bearded old man, Yuan Yuanyuan naturally did not resist. She was just prepared to adapt to the circumstances and followed those people quietly out of her room, out of the closed corridor, and then came to a room on the side.
However, Yuan Yuanyuan took advantage of the Taoist's inattention and gently touched the small mirror on her chest.
The small mirror was small and hidden in the clothes, so naturally few people would find it. After she touched the small mirror, she followed the Taoist priests here very calmly. When she looked up, she saw a big door. She didn't know what was behind the door. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the Taoist priest next to her. The Taoist priest motioned her to go in, so she pushed the door.
I hope those monsters can act faster... After all, they are the ones who told Yuanyuan not to act rashly. If something really happens, it won't be surprising if she is forced to do something desperate, after all, she has done it several times, not just this time.
The moment Yuan Yuanyuan pushed open the door, a bunch of noisy sounds quickly rang in her ears, including the heartbeats and breathing of many people. She closed the door calmly and looked at the people in the room.
There were a lot of people in the room. She had been bored during the day and looked at the faces of the people around her. Now she had seen several of them. The small room was packed.
She took a look and saw a leader on the human side, the pretty lady. Yuan Yuanyuan had only been here for one day, and she had heard from all kinds of gossips that this woman was well-known on the human side. Generally speaking, it is definitely not easy for women to get involved in politics than men. When they are at the same level, women are often more skilled and more difficult to deal with, so Yuan Yuanyuan was immediately worried.
The moment Yuan Yuanyuan entered the room, the woman smiled at her and said directly, "Yuan, we asked you to come here because we have something related to the Monster Record that we need to discuss. Excuse me, did you watch the Monster Record last night?"
Yuan Yuanyuan's heart moved. She had watched it, and she stayed up late to watch it. But why did these people call her out early in the morning and ask her directly if she had watched "The Story of Demons"
After pondering for so long, Yuan Yuanyuan subconsciously chose to conceal the truth. She spoke faster than her brain could react, "I haven't seen it. Isn't the picture book available on the first day of every month?"
She was talking about the physical version of Mengman, which comes out in two volumes every month, usually once in the first half of the month and once in the second half of the month. The schedule matches, and it sounds like those old monsters who only read the physical version. I can only say that it's a good thing that Yuan Yuanyuan also bought the physical version, otherwise she wouldn't be able to lie at this time.
The woman opposite smiled and said, "Actually, we came here to discuss something with you..."
Before she could finish her words, a person who had been standing in the front row yesterday suddenly moved his lips in a low voice. Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't hear what he said. It might be some Taoist way of communicating, similar to the way of transmitting sound over a thousand miles. The woman's expression suddenly changed, "... Open the door, let them in."
Yuan Yuanyuan's heart moved. Although she couldn't hear who was outside, she intuitively thought that it must be the reinforcements from the monster side.
Although Yuan Yuanyuan has never liked monsters, she suddenly realized that she was currently in the monster camp. If something really happened, the human side would only call her over early in the morning and throw her into a small dark room for a three-party trial, while the monsters would rush over to rescue her.
When she turned around, she saw that the person coming was the old man with white beard. At that moment, Yuan Yuanyuan felt relieved. No matter what, this time the fight was upgraded from a one-on-one fight to a group fight, so the chance of winning was greater.
After the white-bearded old man arrived, he walked naturally to Yuan Yuanyuan's side and gently placed his left hand on Yuan Yuanyuan's shoulder.
He turned around and looked at the woman opposite him. "I wonder what on earth is the reason why we were called here this morning... This house doesn't seem like a good place to entertain guests, right?"
While he was speaking, Yuan Yuanyuan's brain suddenly reacted. She didn't know why she reacted so quickly this time. Almost as soon as the old man said this, her pupils dilated instantly, and a demonic aura spread in them. She immediately caught a glimpse of the faint patterns in the corner of the wall.
Those patterns can only be seen from a reflective angle. They are very fine and are arranged in the corners of the walls and the ceiling. Yuan Yuanyuan, whose eyes are filled with demonic energy, recognizes that they are talismans used by Taoists. The lines of the demonic spell give people a more bold and unrestrained feeling.
The evil spirit in Yuan Yuanyuan's eyes gradually dissipated. At this moment, her heart was truly filled with panic. She was half asleep early in the morning and just as she woke up, this happened. If this continued, she would suspect that she had sleepwalked out and killed someone last night.
Could it be that... I really like to kill people in my dreams? Yuan Yuanyuan was trying to figure out why the human side turned hostile this morning, but the woman opposite slowly said, "We are entertaining Lord Yuan here, not to do anything harmful to Lord Yuan, but simply to protect ourselves. After all, we all know Lord Yuan's methods."
"Do you know?" The old man's voice, which had been calm just now, suddenly became serious again. "No, you don't know. If you knew, what happened today should not have happened in the first place. Stop talking nonsense and tell me why you called Yuan here so early in the morning."
The woman took a deep breath, looked at the old man's face, and finally said slowly, "We hope that Yuan can spend this period of time under supervision."
Yuan Yuanyuan, who was standing behind, took a second to react, then became instantly angry - why
Before she could say anything, the old man with a white beard beside her had already asked her what was in her heart in a more polite way, "Since you said so, you have to give us a reason."
"Yuan will often appear in the Monster Records." The woman said, "Because of his special identity, some very important information will be revealed along with his images... Yes, I am talking about the information from the past two days."
What you said is not right! If you are afraid of leaks, shouldn't you pay more attention to Faning? Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly wanted to curse, but then she realized that Faning's current whereabouts were in the dark, while she was in the light. Even if she wanted to catch Faning, she might not be able to find him.
No, it's still not right. Yuan Yuanyuan shook her head in her heart. Since they can spend more energy looking for Fanning instead of looking for her specifically, they must be hiding something.
Maybe... they wanted to take this opportunity to arrest her. Yuan Yuanyuan's hand slowly reached between her legs, and at this moment, the old man with a white beard behind her suddenly tightened his hand on Yuan Yuanyuan's shoulder. Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly remembered what the old man had said to her before, and she couldn't help but slowly put her hand down again.
The old man looked at the woman opposite him and said, "Forgive us for not agreeing to this request. Please excuse us. The meeting is about to start. Would you like to go over and take a look?"
When Yuan Yuanyuan was about to leave, the woman behind her suddenly said, "If Lord Yuan insists on leaving... we may have to use some coercive measures."
Her words successfully made Yuan Yuanyuan stop, and also made the white-bearded old man next to her stop.
The room was silent. Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and asked, "So... what do you want me to do?"
"I hope you can cooperate." The woman said the same thing, "Cooperate with us humans and stay in a fixed room. We will make the best arrangements for you, but at the same time, please accept the supervision of the two specialists we will send out and do not attack them."
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know why she suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the monster... especially after considering what the old man had said to her not long ago.
She really felt that the monster was now on the decline, especially when she discovered the importance of this meeting, she felt the sadness at the first moment.
Even she was called over... How good could this be? Yuan Yuanyuan believed that even if there was a better choice, these people would not call "Yuan" over, because it was too ugly and too unbearable. If the human side knew a little about what happened back then... This unbearable thing was known to almost everyone.
You failed... You tried hard to disguise a caterpillar as a snake, but you still failed because the person in front of you was a human. At this moment, if the monsters standing there were still those monsters from the past, Yuan Yuanyuan believed that humans would never say such words.
She looked at the woman opposite her and suddenly didn't know what to say. Although there were many things that were tacitly understood by both parties, at this moment, she suddenly didn't want to keep it secret with the other party. She wanted to lay everything out and talk about it, but she couldn't.
Finally, Yuan Yuanyuan stood there and asked, "Why do you think I can be kept by you?"
The woman was still smiling, but this time there was a hint of cruelty in her expression. It was a very cruel expression, but it only lasted for a moment, and she soon returned to her original appearance.
She was wearing a full suit and had delicate makeup on her very dignified face. Her lips were bright red, a very formal color.
"Although you are very powerful, Master Yuan, the times have changed... The First World War has long passed, and the smoke of the Second World War has also dissipated. Perhaps you don't have a better understanding of the methods of today's humans, but I think there are many things that will be easier to talk about after everyone has communicated with each other."
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the woman, and suddenly a man in a black suit walked out from behind the screen behind her. Although the man was not wearing a Taoist robe, Yuan Yuanyuan recognized him at a glance.
Not for any other reason... because this man appeared in the comics.
When the Sanqing Sect was besieging Yu Wu, this man, as the most elite main force of the Sanqing Sect, left a deep impression on Yuan Yuanyuan. Although he did not appear many times in the comics, he was always very present every time. If half of the Sanqing Sect was destroyed when Yu Wu and the little monsters invaded the Sanqing Sect, then the remaining half was largely due to the man in front of him. In terms of seniority, Faning calls him uncle-master, the current leader of the Sanqing Sect.
How to describe this person... He is a person with a very upright personality. Although he is very powerful, his popularity is not high because of his personality, and few people mention him. The main reason is that his face is very... upright, a very upright square face, and his personality is upright without any characteristics. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at his hands and did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so she drew her double swords for the first time.
"I'm sorry for the offense." The man opposite took out his weapon as soon as he opened his mouth - a sword made like a willow leaf. Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly remembered that Yu Wu was also in this restaurant... Although he is not here now, if he enters this room now, it would really be a beautiful picture.
In the comics, this guy could fight Yu Wu to a draw, but because Yu Wu had too many little monsters under his command, he was distracted and was defeated by Yu Wu.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt a little depressed when she took out her double swords. The white-bearded old man looked at Yuan Yuanyuan's movements and wanted to make some moves too, but he had some reservations. Yuan Yuanyuan winked and told him to stay away. He was the leader of the monsters and had come quietly this time. Now the talks between the two sides broke down early in the morning. It would be ridiculous for her to roll up her sleeves and start fighting. If the monster leader went crazy with her again... If something happened, humans would have to give an explanation. The monster behind him had lost his head. Could he go back
She slowly suppressed her heartbeat, preparing to use the Void Escape Technique to see if she could escape first, but she found it difficult - because the aura of this restaurant was a bit strange, as if it could block out many things, like sound, which could not be heard at all behind a door, and as for demonic energy... She had never tried it. If she had known, she should have tried all the magic on the first day she came here.
There was no point in saying so much. As soon as the Taoist priest on the opposite side made a move, Yuan Yuanyuan's body suddenly turned into a red smoke. She was shocked and thought, "Oh, it actually works?" Then she quickly looked around and wanted to run from the door, but suddenly gave up the idea.
This time we are here to negotiate... Although the human side can act more recklessly because of their greater power, the monsters cannot.
At the very least, she had to figure out what happened this morning to avoid similar incidents in the future.
Yuan Yuanyuan lowered her head suddenly and flashed behind the Taoist priest. She was almost invincible in the state of flying. However, the Taoist priest was not an ordinary person either. He dodged her attack. This was the first time that someone avoided Yuan Yuanyuan's attack in this way.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought to herself that the other party was indeed no ordinary person. This was the first time someone had dodged this move, which proved that the other party was much stronger than the previous Taoists.
But then, she transformed into a puff of smoke, making the opponent's attack fall in vain. And while the opponent was still hesitating, she chased after him.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought that the other party would be stunned for a while, but when she caught up with him, she found that he was not hesitating... but was saying something.
In his hand he held a small jade willow leaf, on which seemed to be some small words engraved, and he was reading according to the words.
Some words came out of his mouth. Yuan Yuanyuan only heard the general idea and only understood one sentence.
"The mind creates destiny, and destiny contains the sun and the moon..."
Yuan Yuanyuan was suddenly startled, so much so that her figure was exposed. The Taoist priest opposite her slammed a sword back and stabbed it straight into her ribs.
In an instant, the room was silent, and the only sound was the dripping blood.
"Lord Yuan!" The white-bearded old man over there suddenly shouted, and endless black spells suddenly spread out from the sword, and began to flow upwards along the part where it was inserted into Yuan Yuanyuan's body.
The scene looked extremely disgusting. The black spell was like an earthworm, seeming to want to crawl up Yuan Yuanyuan's body. Yuan Yuanyuan grasped the sword with a painful expression, but she didn't hold it firmly. As soon as she grasped the blade, blood gushed out of her hand.
There was more and more blood, the old man behind was breathing heavily, his eyes were almost popping out of their sockets, and blood was slowly flowing into his eyes.
His hand slowly moved to his waist.
The humans watched the spreading black spells circling up along the sword body little by little, as if attracted by the blood. The humans' breathing also began to become heavy in Yuan Yuanyuan's ears, like a hound that had discovered its prey.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the woman with a painful expression. The woman still had that smiling expression on her face, but her heartbeat became faster and Yuan Yuanyuan could hear it in her ears.
“Plop, plop, plop.”
“Master Yuan, it’s best not to struggle. This is the sect’s treasure of the Three Pure Ones. I’m using it on you today… You should feel a little lucky.” The woman said in a calm voice.
“Should I be honored to be the sect’s treasure?” Yuan Yuanyuan asked with a painful expression.
"Yes, after all, this is..." The woman suddenly stopped talking halfway and slowly took a step back.
She was the first one among the humans to notice something was wrong. Seeing this, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly shook her head and laughed, "It seems that this still doesn't work. I wanted to use the blood on my hand to induce the spell... but it was still discovered."
She stood up slowly, and the wound on her stomach slowly healed, as if nothing had happened, except that her hands were still covered in blood.
“How…how could this happen?” The woman, who had remained calm until now, finally showed a look of shock.
“The heart creates creation, and within creation are the sun and the moon. The sun and the moon intersect within. The two eyes are the sun and the moon. They gather water and fire but do not disperse…” Yuan Yuanyuan said something inexplicably. No one in the audience understood what she was saying, except the man in a suit who had a shocked expression on his face.
Yuan Yuanyuan took advantage of this opportunity and suddenly turned into a puff of smoke, came to the man, snatched the jade willow leaf from his hand, glanced at the densely packed small words engraved on it, and suddenly turned it over to take a look.
There is a signature engraved in a corner of the willow leaf.
Everyone in the room was immersed in shock at the sudden reversal of the situation, except Yuan Yuanyuan who suddenly laughed.
"hehe… "
Her laughter grew louder and louder, and taking advantage of the particularly interesting expression on the opposite side, Yuan Yuanyuan raised the jade willow leaf and said, "You want to use this to defeat me? Just this broken thing?"
She threw it back, "That's it?"
"Just relying on this, you want to defeat Yuan?"
Yuan Yuanyuan laughed more and more happily. She felt like she had seen a joke that could be played for a whole year, and she laughed so hard that tears came out.
The old man behind her didn't understand at first, but when he stood behind Yuan Yuanyuan and saw Liu Ye, his expression suddenly changed.
Although there was no element of surprise in that expression, it was more of shock.
"Use this, you want to defeat Yuan." Yuan Yuanyuan chuckled, "Use this! You want to defeat Yuan!"
Suddenly, there was a bang in the room, and the door exploded like popcorn, and thick smoke came out from inside.
"Yuan, calm down." The white-bearded old man suddenly grabbed Yuan Yuanyuan's arm. Yuan Yuanyuan turned her head sharply, revealing a pair of bright red eyes. The old man said, "The meeting will start soon."
Yuan Yuanyuan's eyes were still red and her face was expressionless.
"Let them go." The old man said, "Only if they are well, can we take everyone home together."
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at him for a few seconds and slowly stood up.
Before she left, she crushed the jade willow leaf with one foot, then stepped over the broken half of the door and closed the other half with her hand.
