Granny Red glanced at the two of them and said
"There are so many people here, Lesser Demon people are noisy, and this is not the place to talk about business. Come with me, let's go to the inn in the village to talk."
Wen Ning was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and was still a little confused. Shouldn't he normally invite them home, make some tea, and treat them to a meal? Why did he go to an inn? By the way, does this Monster village actually have an inn?
Wen Ning was muttering in his heart, but nothing could be seen on his face, he just nodded and said
"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."
Shi Dajian on the side also followed behind obediently
A few people walked slowly along the village road
In just half a cup of tea, a wooden hut appeared in front of me, with a plaque hanging at the door that read Peaceful Inn
After pushing the door and entering, the inn was clean and the tables and chairs were neatly arranged. However, the store was empty and there were no customers. It was normal. This was still within Demon-Suppressing Pagoda. How could there be strangers coming?
Granny Red was the first to take a seat and shouted in the direction of the kitchen with great energy.
"Waiter! Serve twenty roast chickens, hurry up."
Wen Ning, who had just followed Wen Ning, who was sitting down, suddenly stiffened and was stunned on the spot.
Twenty?
Wen Ning looked at it subconsciously, there were only two people and one monster.
"There are only a few of us. I'm afraid we won't be able to finish twenty roast chickens, right?"
This quantity is so exaggerated that even if a dozen more people come, they may not be able to finish it all.
Granny Red waved his hand nonchalantly and said
"What can't be eaten? You can definitely finish it! Don't worry, don't waste it!"
After saying that, she turned around and looked at Xiao Bai and a few little Fox Demon who were crowded at the door and looking around.
"Little guys, stop hiding and come in! Eat freely today, it's enough!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the Xiao Bai foxes at the door suddenly lit up!
The furry ears stood up straight in an instant, and the little body that was still a little restrained suddenly became lively. He rushed into the inn chattering and sat around the small table nearby, with joy written all over his little face.
Xiao Bai also forgot about his grievance just now and ran to his companion, his little tail swaying happily from side to side, his big eyes staring in the direction of the kitchen, full of expectation.
Not long after, the roast chickens were served one by one.
One, two, three
Roast chicken was placed on two large tables. The little Fox Demon had never seen such a fight before. They all swallowed their saliva and waited for Granny Red to say something to start the meal.
Granny Red raised his hand to signal the little ones to start eating. A few of them almost got into a fight over a chicken leg.
While Lesser Demon were busy working on their meals, Wen Ning asked the question that had been in the back of his mind all this time.
"Demon-Suppressing Pagoda was originally meant to suppress Monster. Why was there such a peaceful Demon Village on the bottom floor of the tower, with so many docile and harmless Lesser Demon living there?"
Granny Red said while eating roast chicken
"Do you think, Monster, everything in the world is bad?"
Wen Ning glanced at the Little Foxs who were eating roast chicken and said
"Of course not. People in the world are divided into good and evil, and living beings have different personalities. People have good and bad people. Monster Naturally, there are also good and evil. We cannot generalize based on race."
Granny Red nodded happily
"It's rare to find people like this who are not bound by secular prejudices. Do you think our village Monster is good or bad?"
Wen Ning glanced at the other Little Fox who were eating roast chicken and thought for a moment
"There is no Baleful Aura in you, so you are naturally a kind demon, but I still can't figure out why you were suppressed and imprisoned here Demon-Suppressing Pagoda since you have never done any evil."
In the perception of all monks, Demon-Suppressing Pagoda has always been a prison for punishing evil monsters.
If there is no guilt or evil, why should we suppress it?
Granny Red After listening, he suddenly laughed
She put down the chicken bones in her hand and revealed the secret
"You only think of this Demon-Suppressing Pagoda as a cage that binds us. But have you ever thought that the prison in your eyes has always been the only refuge for us."
Wen Ning's pupils were slightly condensed, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
Shi Dajian also stopped for an instant, looking straight at Granny Red with a look of astonishment on his face.
"You monks have been taught by your master since childhood, and you only know how to kill demons. Demons are inherently evil, but you don't know the cruelty of the jungle."
She spoke, her voice was not high, but her words were heavy
"For those violent and ferocious evil monsters, the weak and docile monsters are no different from mortal animals. They are all blood food.
This is even more true for some human monks who do not distinguish between good and evil and adhere to prejudices.
They don't care about their true intentions, they don't distinguish between good and evil, they kill monsters when they see them, and get rid of them when they encounter them. They only determine good and evil based on their race.
Lesser Demon, who has a pure and kind nature, and Spirit Yao, who never does harm to others, in their eyes, can still kill people to refine treasures and seize the nourishment of demon pills."
Wen Ning was shocked and silent.
"Thousands of years ago, the times were even more troubled."
Granny Red continued, his eyes flashing with long-lasting memories.
"At that time, demons were rampant, and some paranoid monks killed demons indiscriminately. The most painful thing was for us Monster, who were naturally docile and had no ability to protect ourselves. In the past, there were evil demons hunting and eating away, and in the latter, there were monks who killed and surrounded them. The world is so big that there is no place for it."
When she said this, she changed the topic with some gratitude and respect.
"It was Maoshan, a group of seniors with great righteousness, who saw through the chaos in the world and felt compassion. They knew that demons are divided into good and evil, and people have good and evil, and life and death should not be determined by one's birth.
In order to protect us, the weak Lesser Demon clan, who are pure in nature and have never done evil, the seniors spent their cultivation and planted Purification Formation with their own hands to house us here, so that we don't have to be afraid of being hunted by evil monsters or be careful about being slaughtered by monks, so that we can thrive and thrive in peace."
Shi Dajian on the side couldn't recover for a long time. Only today did he realize that this Demon-Suppressing Pagoda has never only killed and punished, but also hidden the most gentle protection in the world.
Wen Ning looked at a group of carefree, ignorant and innocent little Fox Demon eating roast chicken at the table. Looking into their pure and clean eyes, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
It turns out that these little Monsters who were mistaken for prisoners were never sinners, but just poor creatures who were protected by the sages to the death.
"So we have never been imprisoned by repression."
Granny Red said with emotion
"We are protected in this pure land by senior Maoshan, and Demon-Suppressing Pagoda is regarded as a cage by the outside world. It is our only shelter for thousands of years and the barrier that protects us. We have lived here for generations, never stepping out of the tower boundary, and not disturbing the world at all."
Wen Ning All the doubts in my heart are solved.
No wonder there is no trace of violence in the entire Demon Village Baleful Aura, and all Lesser Demon are docile. They grow up in purity, have never seen the dangers of the world, and are naturally pure-minded.
"So that's how it is"
Wen Ning said with emotion
Granny Red waved his hand
"Everyone in the world is deceived by the spread of appearances, and this has been true for thousands of years."
After the words fell, the gentleness on her face faded, and she looked above Demon-Suppressing Pagoda
"It's just that this stability can no longer be maintained now."
The little Fox Demons who were immersed in cooking seemed to sense the heaviness of the atmosphere. They stopped their movements one after another, raised their furry little heads, and looked at Granny Red timidly.
Xiao Bai was also holding a half-eaten chicken leg, blinking his big wet eyes, his face full of confusion.
Wen Ning asked in earnest
"Demon-Suppressing Pagoda's seal moved abnormally, Barrier is unstable, but there is something wrong with the top of the tower?"
Granny Red nodded, with a hint of worry in his voice
"Yes, something happened at the top of the tower. According to common sense, it is absolutely impossible for something to happen at the top of the tower."
