The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 769
"I see!"

"No wonder you were able to pretend to be Zhao Yanwei without being discovered by outsiders for more than ten years with your insignificant skills."

The vertical eyes between the brows opened quietly, and it was only then that Pei Wende finally understood why this pig demon was able to lurk in human society for such a long time without being noticed.

Because the opponent's path is not the normal way of transforming form at all, but the even rarer method of "possession".

In the eyes of Pei Wende at this moment, Zhao Yanwei's body is still human, but his soul is a mighty and ferocious wild boar.

This means that the pig demon abandoned his body that had practiced for hundreds of years, and instead took Zhao Yanwei's body that should have been "dead" long ago as the shell of his soul.

Pei Wende also saw a similar situation in Li Yanran, the daughter of a tiger.

It's just that what Li Yanran inherited was the inner alchemy of the tiger, which led to her having the physique and supernatural powers to serve a ghost.

But the pig demon right now has transferred all of its essence into Zhao Yanwei's body, replacing the real Zhao Yanwei as the master of this body.

"Is it really worth it for you to give up your century-old Taoism?"

In fact, it was no wonder that Wen Wende asked such a question, it was because the pig demon's choice was so unbelievable.

The body is the carrier of the soul, and the soul is the reflection of the body...

Leaving aside the question of abandoning one's centuries-old Taoism, how much courage does it take to forcibly possess a mortal?

The discrepancy between body and soul alone is a huge problem.

Thanks to Zhao Yanwei's voluntary surrender of his body, otherwise there might be another evil ghost in this world who has no body to reincarnate and turns his obsession into resentment.

Even so, it is no small miracle that the pig demon can live on Zhao Yanwei's body until now.

"Zen Master was born as a human being, so naturally he can't understand the pursuit of us little demons."

It seems that he has long been used to such questioning, and Zhao Yanwei was very frank when answering this question.

"What do little monsters like me seek after a hundred years of hard work?"

"Isn't it just to live like a human being?"

"After all, the way of practice is so difficult. After all, there are only a few people who really pursue longevity and Taoism."

"The vast majority of little demons like me actually awakened to their own existence by accident, and there is no room for too much ambition and pursuit in their hearts."

Without hiding the envy and emotion in his tone, Zhao Yanwei explained in a deep voice.

Ambition and pursuit are a conception of the future of a living being with subjective initiative on the premise of satisfying daily food and clothing.

But before the pig demon possessed Zhao Yanwei, it was just a wild boar that could be caught by mountain hunters at any time.

Being in such a fearful environment all the year round, it would be a strange thing if the pig demon could get rid of the beastly nature of animals and truly pursue longevity and Taoism.

"After becoming Zhao Yanwei, I can eat well, sleep well, and experience a wonderful life that I haven't experienced in a hundred years."

"What else am I not satisfied with?"

"Why bother to pursue the impossibly long life?"

"Enjoying this hard-won life, even if it can only be enjoyed for a short period of ten years, is better than me continuing to practice hard for thousands of years."

It has to be said that what Zhao Yanwei said made Pei Wende see an incredible but more real world of monsters.

Before that, most of the monsters Pei Wende encountered were villain bosses with their own style and pursuit.

But monsters of that level are actually "lucky ones" who have passed the stage of the jungle.

And spirit monsters like Zhao Yanwei, who can't even satisfy basic food and clothing, are the bottom of the whole monster world.

Can Zhao Yanwei get rid of that precarious and starving life by accident, even if he abandons his original body?
So what if he can only live for another ten years?

Anyway, in Zhao Yanwei's view, it is already a huge advantage to be able to exchange the body of a beast with an unknown life for a human identity who is destined to enjoy a lifetime of peace and security.

"It's my preconceived idea."

Blinking his eyelids lightly, Wen Wende simply admitted his misunderstanding.

In this world, not everyone is willing to abandon everything to pursue longevity and Taoism.

As with humans, so with monsters.

"By the way, you came to me so late, what happened?"

It wasn't forcibly changing the subject, Pei Wende's question was just to remind Zhao Yanwei.

Because he had already heard footsteps not far away.

Although the series of footsteps were hurried, there was an almost instinctive lightness and caution.

Undoubtedly, the only person in Zhujiazhuang who can have this kind of footsteps is the master of swordsmanship with decades of lewd swordsmanship—— Zhu Auntie.

"Our old man... passed away."

After Pei Wende's reminder, Zhao Yanwei also heard Mrs. Zhu's footsteps, and immediately remembered his purpose of coming here.

"It's just that my wife thinks that the old man's death is a bit strange, so I want to invite the Zen master to take a look."

"Third Uncle, are you asleep?"

After lightly knocking on the door of the side yard, Zhu Run lowered his voice and shouted into the house.

"Ma'am, we haven't slept yet!"

Accompanied by the sound of getting dressed, the third aunt who had been serving the Zhu family since more than ten years ago opened the door, and behind her was her husband.

"Ma'am, is something going on outside?"

Vigilantly clenched the stick in his hand, it was not the first time the third uncle was woken up at night and asked.

Although the third uncle is getting old now, from his staring eyes, he can still barely see a bit of the domineering he was when he was young.

"It's not that bandits entered the village, but something happened to my father."

After briefly explaining the current situation, Zhu Run's voice revealed a little sadness.

"Is something wrong with the master?"

Hearing this, third uncle and third aunt were stunned at the same time.

Although the old man of the Zhu family has long been out of business, he is still the backbone of the Zhu family.

At this moment, they were shocked to hear that something had happened to the old man, and the third uncle and the third aunt immediately thought of some kind of ominous result.

"Isn't the old man all right during the day?"

She couldn't help asking, the third aunt also saw the old man eating a big bowl of rice during the day.

Why has something happened to the old man after we haven't seen each other for a long time?

"I don't know the specifics..."

"It was someone from Zhuangzi who came to inform me that my father is now in the ancestral temple..."

Up to this point, Zhu Run didn't continue to speak, but the third uncle and the third aunt both understood the subtext in her words.
