The demon head walks in the light

In the sky, there are layers of clouds, and spring rain lingers on the ground.

The fine rain, as fine as cow hair, falls and covers Qingmao Mountain with a thin layer of smoke.

The first floor dining hall in the inn is still deserted, with only four tables of guests.

Fang Yuan was sitting by the window, with a gust of wind blowing, mixed with poetry and floral fragrance.

The light rain on the sky street is as smooth as a pastry, and the grass color looks close but nowhere. "Fang Yuan looked at the window from afar and softly murmured, then withdrew his gaze.

On the table in front of him, there were good wines and dishes, with a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste. Especially Qingzhu liquor, with a mellow and refreshing aroma. The emerald green wine is quietly held in a bamboo cup, with a warm and amber like luster when viewed from this angle.

On the table closest to him were his grandparents and grandson. Wearing simple clothes, they are all ordinary people.

The old man was sipping rice wine while looking enviously at Fang Yuan's side. Obviously attracted by the aroma of Qingzhu wine, but without money to buy it.

Sun Tzu was eating braised fragrant beans, biting them in his mouth with a clattering sound. At the same time, he pestered his grandfather and shook his arm, saying, "Grandpa, Grandpa, tell me the story of our ancestors. If you don't tell me, I'll go back and tell grandma that you came out to steal drinks

Alas, even a drink doesn't make you feel comfortable, "the old man sighed, but a loving expression appeared on his face. He touched his grandson's head with his emaciated hand and said, "Then let me tell you. It's said that the ancestor entrusted his heart to the Hope Gu and escaped from the encirclement of the predicament

The story of human ancestors is the most widely circulated and ancient legend in this world.

The story told by the old man is probably like this.

It is said that our ancestors overcame their difficulties because of hope. But he was eventually old and feeble, lacking strength and wisdom, unable to continue hunting, even losing all his teeth, and unable to chew many wild fruits and vegetables.

Ancestors have already felt the approaching of death.

At this moment, I hope Gu tells him, "Man, you can't die. If you die, your heart will be gone, and I hope you will lose your place to rest

Renzu was helpless and said, "Who wants to die? But heaven and earth want me to die, and I have to die

Hope Gu said, "Everything has hope. As long as you catch the longevity Gu, you can add new life

The human ancestor had long heard of the existence of the Shougu, but he helplessly shrugged and said, "When the Shougu is still, no one can detect it. When it flies, it is faster than light. How could I catch it? It's too difficult

Hope Gu told Ancestor a secret: "Human beings, never give up hope in anything. Let me tell you, there is a big mountain in the northwest corner of the earth. There is a hole on the top of the mountain, and two round and square Gu insects live in the hole. As long as you can subdue these two Gu insects, there is nothing in the world that cannot be captured, even Shou Gu is no exception

Renzu is at a dead end, this is his only hope left.

He exhausted countless hardships and found this mountain. Despite numerous dangers, he climbed to the top of the mountain again. At the entrance of the mountaintop, he had only the last bit of strength left and staggered in.

The cave was shrouded in darkness, with no one in sight, and our ancestors walked and walked in the darkness. Sometimes I bump and bump, I don't know what I hit, my head is bruised and bleeding. Sometimes he felt that the darkness was vast and boundless, as if it were another world, with nothing around him except himself.

He spent a lot of time and couldn't get out of this vast darkness. Not to mention subduing that circle and two insects.

Just as he was lost in confusion, two voices came from the darkness.

A person said, "Do you also want to capture us? You go back, even if you have the power of the Gu, it's impossible

Another voice said, "Man, please retreat. We won't take your life. Even if you have the help of the Wisdom Gu, you may not be able to find us

The human ancestor collapsed to the ground, panting and gasping for breath: "The power and wisdom gu have long been far away from me. I have no more life and no way out. But as long as there is a glimmer of hope in my heart, I will not give up

Upon hearing the words of their ancestor, the two voices fell silent.

After a while, he said, "I understand, man. You have already given your heart to Hope Gu. You mean you won't give up on anything

Another voice continued, "In that case, we'll give you a chance. As long as you say our names, we'll use them for you

Renzu was stunned, trying to accurately call out two precise names from the sea of words was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, he doesn't even know how many characters there are in the names of these two gu.

Renzu quickly asked Hope Gu, but Hope Gu didn't know either.

Renzu had no other way out, so he had to grit his teeth and say his name. He said many names, which took a long, long time, but there was no response in the darkness, obviously all of them were called wrong.

Gradually, the aura of the human ancestor became weaker and weaker, and in this cave, he moved from old age to old age. It's like the sunset in the evening, gradually descending, and half of it has already fallen into the sky, becoming the sunset.

He brought less and less food with him, slowed down his thinking, and had less strength to speak.

The voice in the darkness advised, "Man, you're almost dead. Let's let you go. While you have your last time, you can climb outside the cave and take one last look at this world. But if you offend us, as punishment, leave Hope Gu here as our companion

Renzu tightly covered his heart and firmly refused, "Even if I die, I will not give up hope

I hope Gu is deeply moved and responds to our ancestors with all his might, emitting a pure white radiance. A little white light appeared from the mouth of the ancestor's heart.

But this white light is too weak to illuminate the darkness, and it can't even take care of the entire human ancestor's body, only illuminating the chest.

However, the ancestors felt an invisible new force surging into their bodies from the Hope Gu.

He continued to speak, saying his name. He is already old and confused. He has said many names before, but he cannot remember them clearly. Saying them again is a waste of a lot of effort.

Life is passing by with time, and the lifespan of our ancestors is running out.

Finally, with only one day left in his life, he uttered the word 'moment'.

A sigh came from the darkness, and a voice said, "Man, I admire your persistence. You have spoken my name, and from today on, I will obey your orders. But only by being with my brothers can I capture all the bugs in the world for you. Otherwise, relying solely on my ability as a bug is not enough. So give up, you are already on the brink of death. It's better to use this world and take one last look at it

Renzu shook his head firmly, seizing every opportunity to continue speaking and guessing the name of another insect.

Time passed by minute by minute, leaving him with only one hour left.

But at that moment, he accidentally uttered the word 'rule'.

In an instant, the darkness disappeared.

Two demons appeared in front of him. As Hope Gu said, a Gu is square and called "Ju". A Gu is round and called 'Gui'. Combined, it's the 'rules'.

The two Gu said together, "Whoever knows our names, we will obey them. Man, since you already know our names, we will use them for you. But remember, it's best not to let other creatures know our names. The more we know our names, the more we have to subdue them at the same time. Now, you are the first person to subdue us, speak your demands

Renzu was overjoyed and said, "Then I command you to capture a longevity gu for me first

The combination of the two Gu techniques captured an 80 year old longevity Gu.

My ancestor is already a hundred years old. After eating this longevity potion, all the wrinkles on his face were instantly eliminated, and his thin limbs were filled with muscular and healthy muscles. The youthful aura was once again emitted.

He straightened a carp and jumped up.

He looked at his body with joy, knowing that he had become a twenty year old youth again!

...

That's all for today, go home, my dear grandson. "The old man finished telling the story and finished his drink.

Grandpa, let's continue talking. What happened to our ancestors later on? "However, Sun Tzu refused and shook the old man's arm.

Let's go, we'll talk when we have time. "The old man put on his bamboo hat and raincoat, and draped a small size over his grandson.

The grandparents and grandchildren left the inn, stepped into the rain curtain, and gradually drifted away.

Rules... "Fang Yuan's gaze was faint as he turned his glass and gazed at the Qingzhu liquor in it, feeling deeply touched.

The legend of human ancestors is widely spread in this world, and almost no one knows about it. Fang Yuan had already heard of it.

Whether it's legends or stories, everyone has their own opinions. Just now, the grandparents and grandchildren only regarded it as a story, but Fang Yuan could taste the profound meaning contained in it.

Just like that person's ancestor.

When he doesn't know the rules, he fumbles in the darkness. Sometimes I stumble and bump, causing my head to bleed and feel embarrassed. Sometimes, there is another vast expanse, lost in confusion, with no direction or goal.

This darkness is not simply black or dark, strength, wisdom, and hope cannot restrain it.

Only when the ancestors know the "rules" and reveal the names of the rules, the darkness suddenly disappears and the ancestors welcome light.

Darkness is the darkness of rules, and this light is also the light of rules.

Fang Yuan shifted his gaze away from the wine glass and looked out the window.

Outside the window, in the distance, the sky was gloomy and dim, with lush green mountains and continuous rain falling like mist. Nearby, tall bamboo towers extended one after another. Two or three pedestrians on the road, their feet soaked in rain and cement, were either wearing gray green raincoats or holding butter cloth umbrellas.

Fang Yuan summed up in his heart: "This world is like a big chessboard, where all living things are chess pieces, operating according to their own rules. There are rules for the seasons, and the cycle of spring, summer, autumn, and winter follows suit. Water flows according to rules, flowing downwards. Heat flows according to rules, rising upwards. Humans naturally have rules too

Everyone has their own position, desires, and principles. Take Gu Yue Shanzhai as an example, the servant's life is cheap, and the master's life is expensive. This is the rule. Therefore, Shen Cui wants to climb the ranks of the powerful and tries her best to break away from her slave status. Gao Wan is doing everything in her power to please her master, and she is taking advantage of others

For my uncle and aunt, they are inherently greedy and want to annex their parents' inheritance. The elders of the school mainly cultivate Gu masters and maintain their own position in the school

Everyone has their own rules, every industry has its own rules, and every social group has its own rules. As long as you understand these rules, you can see them clearly from the sidelines. Go out of darkness and find light, navigate through them with ease

Fang Yuan once again thought about his own situation and had already planned and strategized in his heart: "For Gu Yue Mo Chen, the ruler of the Mo family, it is necessary to maintain the prosperity and interests of this branch. Mo Yan's trouble with me is already breaking the rules. In order to maintain the reputation of the family, he will definitely not take action against me. He may even take the initiative to compensate me

In fact, the Mo family has a strong influence and wants to punish me based on reputation damage, but I am powerless to resist. But Gu Yue Mo Chen is afraid in his heart. He is not afraid of breaking the rules himself, but worried that others will also start breaking the rules with him. If the younger generation fights, if the elders intervene, the situation will escalate. If it affects the higher ups, it will be a huge threat to the entire mountain stronghold. Gu Yue Mo Chen's concern and fear is that if there is a future fight, someone else will attack his grandson Gu Yue Mo Bei. He is the only male in his lineage. What should he do if he dies? This kind of fear may not even be known to himself. He just subconsciously wants to uphold the rules

Fang Yuan's eyes were clear, and he had a keen insight into the matter from beginning to end.

Gao Wan is not surnamed Gu Yue, he is an outsider and a servant.

What's the big deal with the master executing a servant. In this world, it's normal.

Fang Yuan killed Gao Wan. The death of Gao Wan is not the key, the key lies in his master, the Mo family behind him.

However, I have sent a box of dismembered bodies this time, and I estimate that Gu Yue Mo Chen will interpret it as a threat of peace and harmony. This is exactly what I want him to understand. It is not surprising that the Mo family will not pursue Gao Wan's death. Of course, if my qualifications are even higher and I am a second-class person, the Mo family will feel threatened. With my reputation damaged, they will also suppress me as a future threat, "Fang Yuan sneered in his heart.

Strong can be relied upon, weak can also be utilized.

Although Fang Yuan is currently in the game, he is still a chess piece. But I am proficient in the rules and already have the heart of a chess player.

Ordinary people are mostly just like ancient moon dust or school elders, who only know their own rules and are separated by mountains. How difficult it is for someone like Fang Yuan to have insight into the overall situation and master the rules!

To know the rules, one must be like their ancestors, crawling and wandering in the darkness, lost and uncertain.

At this moment, strength, wisdom, and hope are not very effective. It is necessary to spend time and fully comprehend in order to gain experience.

It took time and countless attempts by our ancestors to reveal the names of the two Gu's who broke the rules, shrouded in the aura of death.

Fang Yuan's mastery of rules is also an experience he has accumulated over the past five hundred years.

Since his rebirth, he is confident that he can create a brilliant future. It's not because of the reappearance of the Spring and Autumn Cicada, it's not because he has learned about many hidden treasures, nor because he has grasped the general direction of the future.

But it's the life experience of dealing with people in the past five hundred years.

If the doujinshi master the rules and two gu, he can easily capture all the insects in the world!

And Fang Yuan is proficient in rules and regulations, so he can look down and see through the complexities of the world. Either peeling off the threads or hitting the nail on the head. I consider myself proud and aloof, watching people in the world like chess pieces, following their own rules and marching step by step.

Darkness is the darkness of rules, and light is the light of rules.

And the reborn demon has walked in the light.
