Chapter 215: The prejudice in people

Heavenly Court, at Marshal Tianpeng's place.

"Achoo! Ah... ah..."

He rubbed his nose, always having a bad premonition.

"Sss... the mortal affairs are over, there shouldn't be anything for this Marshal to do, right."

Unfortunately, no matter how Tianpeng thought about it, he couldn't understand.

Mortal world, Qijue Mountain.

Their group was on the clouds, and they were about to arrive.

The little Daoist was as curious as if it were his first time riding the clouds and mist, looking around.

"Princess, how do you handle the demons along the way?"

"If there are good demons and bad demons, is there a distinction?"

Tang An raised her eyes slightly; this was the key he wanted to ask, right?

"You haven't listened to my deeds all the way here? You don't even know this?"

"Alas, those are just listening; there are always some exaggerations and changes."

"Are you asking, if the python demon here is a good one, can I spare its life?"

"No." The little Daoist shook his head seriously. "Hey, I am just quite troubled, how much sin should a little demon who is deeply infatuated with me have?"

"..."

Tang An's mouth twitched. "Are you the seed player of abstraction?" She really wanted to kick him down!

"Abstract? Seed? What is that?"

Tang An sized up the little Daoist. "I think you are the snake demon."

"Ah? No, no, no, no." The little Daoist waved his hands hurriedly. "I am a human, a living human."

Tang An waved her hand. "No, you are sicker than a snake demon, because you are that, snake, demon, sick!"

The air was mysteriously quiet.

"No, you don't understand this meme?" Tang An asked her three disciples.

Sun Wukong laughed. "I know, I know, Master must be scolding someone."

Yang Jian smiled, not good at words.

Nezha looked at the little Daoist sideways, that cold gaze making the little Daoist feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar, scaring him into shrinking his neck.

Tang An was embarrassed by her own cold joke, coughed lightly, and turned to look elsewhere.

It was also at this time that Qijue Mountain arrived before their eyes.

The group entered the mountain, and the little Daoist was like a familiar road, leading them to Xishi Cave.

"Not pretending anymore?"

Tang An had long discovered that something was wrong with him; the mountain was stinking, but he had no discomfort.

Was he already used to it, or did he have some magic treasure on him?

But where would a little Daoist who seemed to have no strength to truss a chicken get so many magic treasures?

The little Daoist giggled. "Since I brought you here, naturally I'm not pretending anymore."

"Princess, please."

In front of the group was a decoration that was a bit... hmm...

How to put it, in short, this place didn't look like an ordinary demon cave, but seemed to have some traces and decorations of human life.

"Susu, it's me, I'm back, open the door quickly."

The door of the cave was opened, and what rushed out from the cave was a burst of happy laughter and a faint floral fragrance.

Many children ran over, rushing directly at the little Daoist, fighting to be hugged.

Tang An took a step back and looked carefully at the name of the cave dwelling.

It was indeed Xishi Cave.

She took a step forward, and it was a very lively cave dwelling with a lot of fireworks.

So, Tang An tried it back and forth twice more, even thinking she had traveled through time in this one step?

No, whose demon cave is like this?

Whose demon cave has so many children?

One step demon cave, one step orphanage?

"Princess, let me introduce these children to you."

"This one is called Er Ya, this one is called Huzi, this one is called Zhaodi, that one is called..."

Tang An looked at so many children, scratched her head, and turned to look at her three disciples. It seemed to be asking them, what should we do now?

The three of them also had no idea; with so many children, no matter how you looked at it, the demon in the cave couldn't be linked to the word evil demon.

"Quick, call Princess Sister."

"Princess Sister, hello~"

"Princess Sister, are you really a princess?"

"Princess Sister, your clothes are so beautiful."

"Princess Sister, you are so beautiful~"

Tang An's mouth clearly couldn't hold back; who could resist the praise of children?

"Come, come, come, Princess Sister brought you something delicious, come eat candy."

Seeing this, Nezha looked at Yang Jian.

Seeming to understand some of the meaning of what Yang Jian said that day, he also took out some candy and handed it to Tang An.

Tang An was stunned; she didn't expect Nezha to be so generous all of a sudden, actually willing to share his candy.

"Come, thank Brother Nezha quickly."

"Thank you, Brother Nezha~" The voices of the cute babies were uniform, sweet, and hardworking.

Nezha was so praised that he felt embarrassed, turned his head, and stood aside.

Seeing this, the little Daoist was overjoyed.

Sure enough, he didn't trust the wrong person, and he didn't see the wrong person.

"Little Daoist, what did you bring back again?" A woman who looked about the same age as Tang An came out, wearing a passionate red dress and long shirt, just like her personality, bright and flamboyant.

"Hey? Who are these people?"

"Are they all sacrificed? That shouldn't be." Susu looked at these people in front of her, and there was even a monkey-like person.

No matter how you looked at these people, they didn't look like they were sacrificed.

The little Daoist couldn't wait to pull Susu over, signaling the children to go play aside first.

"Susu, this is the one I told you about, the Great Tang Princess, the Destined One Tang An, who has punished evil and promoted good all the way, eliminated many great demons, and helped many good demons."

Susu's eyes lit up. "You are the Destined One?"

She wanted to lean close to Tang An to look carefully, but was scared back by Nezha's look.

"Sss... why is the killing intent on you so heavy?"

Tang An didn't say anything, but sized up Susu. In those eyes, Tang An saw the cleanest sincerity.

The original red-scaled python of the Eighty-One Tribulations had now been changed into such a demon.

Why? Was it to test her, to see if she would kill a good demon to prove the Dao in order to pass the tribulation?

"Where did you kidnap so many children from?"

"And those women? What is going on?"

Tang An found that there were not only children here, but also some ten-year-old girls.

Susu looked arrogant. "Compared to acting chivalrously, I am no worse than you."

She introduced the origin of these children to Tang An, and these origins were completely different from the version Tang An had heard.

Along the way, when they were about to reach Qijue Mountain, they could always hear stories about a demon who always kidnapped some children and then disappeared.

According to the stories, the demon kidnapped those children to drink their essence and blood, and then used the children's three souls and seven spirits to refine pills to increase cultivation.

But now, these children were all living well in front of Tang An, and they were all chubby, without any appearance of suffering.

And the reason Susu kidnapped these children was because she really couldn't stand it.

These children were not the treasures of their families. They were selected to be sacrificed to the river demon, to heaven and earth, to pray for favorable weather.

The most ironic thing was that most of these sacrifices were girls.

"Since the fact that I am a demon is a fixed number, I cannot change it."

"Then I can only do my best to do what I want to do."

"Who says acting chivalrously cannot be done by demons?"

"Who says that if you are a demon, you must be evil?"

In Susu's eyes was resistance to secular prejudice. It was also pride in what she had done.

Tang An looked at her proud appearance and suddenly thought of a sentence from Eunuch Shen.

The prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain.

Even if it was her, from the beginning when she came, she also held the same prejudice. ===== CHAPTER 216 =====
