A few small things were spread out on the round table. She turned on the small yellow light at the bedside and looked carefully at the things on the table that recorded the witchcraft.
After walking around the market, I didn't buy much useful stuff, but I did see how diverse the things monsters use to record their magic are.
Yuan Yuanyuan spent three thousand yuan, basically all her savings, to buy the three things in front of her. Currently, there is a white pebble, a spotted pebble and a cow horn comb in front of her.
The first two were quite normal, but the third one made her feel strange for a while.
She picked up a pebble and looked at it. Before buying, you can't see the magic, you can only guess. She didn't know how other monsters bought this thing, she judged by looking at whether the thing was very old.
Yuan Yuanyuan shone the small horn comb against the yellow light and saw that it was translucent. She didn't know that this thing could be used to record witchcraft.
Taking out a pen, Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the magic spells in the book and took notes from time to time.
She originally thought that it would take her a long time to search and she would have to spend a lot of time and money on it, but who knew that this was mentioned in the first white pebble.
When she saw it, Yuan Yuanyuan became alert. She stared at the words intently, translating their meanings in her mind.
There are not many useful things in this book of witchcraft, just a bunch of nonsense. The shop owner is just trying to cheat people out of their money. However, for Yuan Yuanyuan, this is the best case scenario.
Army, war, ruby, monsters, humans...
Two hours later, Yuan Yuanyuan's face turned pale. She almost understood what was going on.
Indeed, there was such an army in the past, and the ruby was related to that war, so it was a very symbolic thing.
This war was a very famous war. Yuan Yuanyuan roughly estimated that the war took place around the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China.
The two sides of the battle are monsters and humans. Yuan Yuanyuan knew that monsters and humans have always had conflicts, but she never expected that they have fought each other several times. The term used in the book of magic to describe this war is "the most recent large-scale war between monsters and humans". Yuan Yuanyuan thinks this is definitely not the first time. Even the world war is divided into the first and second times.
But she herself didn't know exactly how many wars there were, and she had only just seen this war. Yuan Yuanyuan knew that this was because she lacked knowledge of the demon world. Just like history was taught in school, she was now like a wild man in the mountains, and her basic knowledge was quite scarce compared to others.
This book of witchcraft seemed to be written by an old man. It was full of chatter, as if it was casually recording some old stories. When the war happened, the old man was still a little monster, but he remembered it very clearly. It can be seen that the war had a great impact on him.
The word "blood jade" is specifically mentioned in this book on witchcraft. It appears in an army called the "Blood Jade Monster Army". Every monster in it has cultivated a kind of witchcraft that can be practiced quickly. Every monster is an elite and wears a blood jade around his neck.
Yuan Yuanyuan learned about this army from the old man's admiring description. The end of this army was very tragic. All the members of the team died in that war. No one survived. They would definitely be considered martyrs on the human side. The old man had seen a monster from the Blood Jade Demon Army when he was a child, so he had a deep impression of them.
He wrote in that book on witchcraft that all the monsters in the Blood Jade Monster Army were his role models, and that he had been holding himself to the discipline of that army throughout his life.
When Yuan Yuanyuan saw this, she was already shocked. An army of monsters learning this blood jade magic... Every monster needs to use human blood to practice, and every monster in it is an elite. It is simply a killing machine.
She suppressed her inner shock and read it again. After all, the book on witchcraft was only written in the first person, so there was not much information to be obtained. For many things, the old man used some obscure words, many of which used aliases and nicknames, and even some symbols.
At first glance, I thought it was some gangster term...
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the notebook that she had scribbled all over, looked at the things on it, and simply tore off the page, then a cluster of flames ignited at her fingertips.
The flames slowly rose up and burned the page of paper.
Yuan Yuanyuan blew out the flame between her fingers and looked at the snow-white jade on her chest.
So... its previous owner was a monster who survived the war. This monster was definitely a very powerful character, and also a tragic character.
Because the owner of this jade is a tragic character. Although it doesn't mention how tragic he is, after reading this book of witchcraft, Yuan Yuanyuan can guess it herself... It's simply related to why he didn't die back then.
A bunch of people died, but you survived. If not diss you, who else should I diss? That's why the big monster in pink clothes hated her so much that day. Now that she thinks about it, Yuan Yuanyuan is a little suspicious whether the big monster is just like the owner of the magic book, and has a special admiration for the Blood Jade Monster Army back then, so he scolded her for being a deserter.
The hero I have liked for so long actually turned out to be a traitor. I can really empathize with him and it’s really unbearable.
However, there might be some untold stories behind this “not dead”. If Ji Qiu had said to her at that time, “You come to replace a villain boss”, Yuan Yuanyuan would definitely not have thought about whether there was any hidden story behind it. But since Ji Qiu said “You come to replace a tragic character”…
Shit, a bunch of people died and he was the only one who survived. Such a lucky thing can be called tragic. How tragic is this guy
The more Yuan Yuanyuan thought about it, the more ferocious her expression became. This... can we only describe it as a life worse than death? This person's life is really frustrating.
What kind of situation can be called a life worse than death
Yuan Yuanyuan thinks that things like "the pain of eternal life" and "the pain of not being loved" in Japanese comics are all bullshit. Her thoughts are very realistic. Living is happiness, and dying is unhappiness.
Maybe loneliness is really a kind of pain, so those immortal people try every means to commit suicide, but Yuan Yuanyuan said that this is not a problem at all, she has a big heart, and she can accept as much pain as she can get.
She rubbed her temples, thinking that this was too confusing, so she threw the stone in her hand into the drawer and picked up the next spotted pebble to look at it...
…
There are many old customers in the pub. Even after being closed for a few days, there are still many people coming to take care of business when it reopens. When Yuan Yuanyuan walks outside now, many people recognize her and will say hello when they meet her.
Yuan Yuanyuan then realized that many monsters had read "The Story of Monsters". Perhaps the monsters had previously disdained human picture books, but ever since that scene came out last time, even the dullest monsters would take a look at this comic.
Two big monsters are no joke. Even Sister Li said not to get involved in this matter. She felt that the monsters were gradually realizing that something was wrong.
Yuan Yuanyuan initially thought that this was a joke played by some big monster, but recently "Monster Records" was mentioned more and more frequently in the tavern, and Yuan Yuanyuan gradually felt that something was wrong.
There are so many monsters in the tavern... people coming and going, big monsters, small monsters, and even at this time, no one knows the details of Ji Qiu.
After washing the dishes, Yuan Yuanyuan quietly slipped behind a pillar at the back of the hall, listening to the deafening sound over there. Behind the pillars, there were many monsters hiding like her. Only a powerful monster like Sister Li Zi dared to step forward. Even the proprietress came out to comfort the drunk customer.
"That sketchbook is definitely wrong!"
In the hall, a huge creature was sitting in the middle. It was probably drunk and even its original shape was exposed.
A few little monsters nearby were nearly crushed, but were pulled back by quick hands and eyes. Everyone in the tavern came out to look at this guest who came from nowhere.
Such a big thing, just looking at it makes people feel oppressive and uncomfortable. Yuan Yuanyuan just felt that this thing was as big as a building, and she needed to crane her neck to see it.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at it carefully and found it looked a bit like a cat, but the ferocious expression made it difficult to recognize it.
There was evil spirit floating around everywhere. From a distance, the black evil spirit mixed with the purple and light blue smoke in the tavern, making it look like a painting splashed with ink.
"How can it be true... Who is that Ji Qiu? How does he know all these things? If I find him..."
There was another crackling sound, and a pile of plates and cups were thrown to the ground. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the broken pieces of white porcelain and wondered if Siqun would cry when he saw them.
This was all the result of their hard work.
"Yes, yes, please calm down, sir." This was the first time Yuan Yuanyuan saw the proprietress. She was a charming woman, but her face was wrinkled, she was wearing heavy makeup, and she was wearing a purple dress and a very strange hair crown.
She stood beside the monster, constantly stroking the monster's body with her hands. However, compared with the monster, she was like a small ant and could only look up. Yuan Yuanyuan, who was watching from the side, was a little afraid that she would be stepped on.
Yuan Yuanyuan listened to the quarreling voices over there and quietly touched the head of a little monster beside her who was about to cry with fear.
She was washing cups in the back just now, but when she heard the deafening shouts of the drunk guests here, she sneaked out.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought... This was probably another thing that he couldn't accept. Not only could he not accept it, even Yuan Yuanyuan herself couldn't accept it.
What is this
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly felt a pair of hands covering her mouth. She turned around and saw Siqun standing behind her, wearing sleeves on both hands and smelling a bit of soap.
Yuan Yuanyuan winked at him. Siqun pointed at the huge monster over there in a daze. Yuan Yuanyuan winked again.
Don't pull me, I'm collecting information here.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought he had expressed his meaning clearly, but when he looked at the huge monster over there, his eyes suddenly turned red, his pair of dark eyes widened, and then he shook his head.
Shake your ass head and open my mouth. Is this a difficult thing to do? Yuan Yuanyuan glared at him.
Siqun retracted his fingers and released his hand that was covering Yuan Yuanyuan's mouth. Before Yuan Yuanyuan could say anything, he took a step back and then rushed straight into the distance. In the shocked eyes of the surrounding monsters, he rushed towards the huge monster over there...
Yuan Yuanyuan below was completely stupid.
Oh, my god, our hardworking cup washer in the kitchen is flying...
Qun'er, what did you misunderstand... I, I didn't force you to do him, what the hell is this magical train of thought, come back quickly!
