Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits

"Don't you agree with me at the beginning? That demon demon named Wen Jiubai is a very dangerous person. Bayi ?? Chinese W? W? W? .8? 1? W?.? C㈧O㈧M? Not blame or blame me, on the contrary, I can see the concern from his eyes, "I want to say that the reason you encounter so many dangerous things is because of the relationship with that man. My family Even as a funeral, I have never encountered a cannibalistic black-haired monster from a young age. "

"Waffle, you have no reason for this logic." I rolled my eyes.

"Shi Yitong, Gu Yu!" I don't know when the teacher has come to the podium. "Papa" knocked on the podium, "It's already class!"

We closed our mouths and stopped talking, and quickly turned around.

In the evening, I came to the old house in the mountain behind the school again. Bai is also here this time, which is quite rare. In the past, it was always difficult to see him, either to steal wine or to find food.

And Wen Jiubai sat upright behind the desk, writing something on the paper with a brush.

"You've been coming very often lately." Seeing me coming, Wen Jiubai stopped his pen and squinted at me.

"No way, who told me to owe someone 10,000 yuan somehow. So don't I have to work hard and learn to pay the debt?" I answered shamelessly.

"Why haven't I seen you so proactive before?" Wen Jiubai said helplessly.

I don't know if it is my illusion. Wen Jiubai seems to be in a good mood today. I glanced over to read the words written by Wen Jiubai, and vaguely recognized it as a "Lan Ting Preface". Although I don't understand calligraphy, I still can see that Wen Jiubai's writing characters are very beautiful.

"Your sexuality is really too elegant." I whispered.

"Huh?" Wen Jiubai said absently, "It just kills time."

"Don't play your game?" I wondered.

I do n’t say it ’s okay. As soon as he said that, Wen Jiubai frowned. “Do n’t mention it, the things we encountered today are too irritating.”

"What?" I laughed. "Is it more irritating than your full-level Qingming abused my team?"

Wen Jiubai said very resentfully, "Today, when I went to fighting skills, I met one person, and there were five drunk boys in the team."

Wen Jiubai reached out five fingers at me, "Five swallows! I can't even smoke a swallow boy!"

I couldn't help laughing at this. Pai interjected aside, "Don't you all already have a team of ssr, what else do you complain about?"

"That's different. The meaning of swallowing a boy is different!"

The two stirred their mouths like little children.

Strange to say, the difference between playing mobile games and writing calligraphy is so great that you can hardly put these two things on the same person. But Wen Jiubai is different. Whether he is writing calligraphy quietly or playing games noisily, he has no sense of disobedience.

No matter how many times I still want to sigh, Wen Jiubai is really a magical person.

"Okay, you weasel." Wen Jiubai looked down at Bai, "as a servant and questioning your master, I don't have any thoughts about writing."

"What? Be careful I bite you!" Bai cried immediately.

"Okay you two." I was angry and funny, interrupting the quarrel between the two, "You two will not be ten years old?"

"It was the weasel who was only ten years old." Wen Jiubai said with a pen.

I couldn't help thinking of the question I had discussed with Shi Yitong this morning and asked it unconsciously.

"Speaking of it, Wen Jiubai. I have a question for you."

"Huh?" Wen Jiubai picked up the half-written rice paper and shook it a little in the air, looking at his work with satisfaction.

"In ancient legends, monsters seem to be evil beings." I thought, "Like the story of Liao Zhai, monsters are either tempting or harmful. Even if there are not so bad monsters, they are just not so bad That's it. Does that mean that all monsters are really bad? "

"Of course." What surprised me was that Wen Jiubai answered without any thoughts, so I didn't know what to say.

"Yes, really?"

"But before asking this question, I have to ask you a question first." Wen Jiubai looked at me leisurely, "How do you define the word 'bad'?"

"This ..." I hesitated for a moment, but still tried to think, "such as robbery, killing, or anything that would infringe on the interests of others. People who can do these things should be bad people in the usual sense."

Wen Jiubao nodded and agreed with me, "But human beings have been infringing the interests of other creatures, such as raising pigs and cattle in captivity, and cultivating cats and dogs into pets. If you look at it by this standard, wouldn't all of you humans be all 'Bad guy'? "

I subconsciously retorted, "But how can it be the same? Animals like pigs and cows are used to ..."

"No creature is born to make another pet or food, Gu Yu." Wen Jiubai calmly interrupted what I said, "The so-called good or bad is just the definition of human beings based on their own interests. , Does not apply to creatures other than humans, doesn't it? "

…… So, it doesn't seem to make sense. I nodded confused.

"So I said, 'The monsters are all bad'. There is nothing wrong with that. That's because from the perspective of human beings, it's really the same thing." Wen Jiubai smiled. "Humanity's definition of good and bad is based on Self-interest, and the 'rules' laid down by human beings. The rules of the family, the rules of the school, and the rules of society are precisely these rules that have made mankind prosperous and mature, as well as mankind's unparalleled virtue and education. But do n’t Forget it, there is no such thing as a "rule."

"Rules?" I repeated.

"Yes, monsters have no rules at all." Wen Jiubai said with arms, "To give a simple example. You grew up in human society, your parents will tell you that stealing is wrong. So, you grow up After you grow up, you will know that stealing is not something you can do. Even if one day you really start stealing, but because of the 'rules' of human society, you will still understand that what you are doing is wrong, yes How about this?"

I nodded.

"But look at the white over there." Wen Jiubai lifted his chin up. "He was born in nature, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and gradually became a monster. Although he has the same wisdom as humans, there is no 'family' He does n’t have the concept of “society”, and he does n’t have the concept of “stealing is shameful.” That ’s why he often goes to different people to drink and drink. You said that for those who have stolen wine, this weasel Isn't it just a bad monster? "

"So it is, so it is." I realized.

"Hey! I'm still here!" Bai Angrily said, "Don't take me as a negative example!"
