Damn, I turned into a monster

Chapter 60: Ghost Girl (Part 60)

Some of Wang Wu's words were correct, but some were extremely wrong, including his understanding and speculation about the identity of the ghost girl whom he had known for half a year.

But he is semi-illiterate in this world, so it's not his fault.

"Demon?" When Wang Wu heard this name, he almost thought she was talking about him, but then he realized it and was stunned, "How is it possible? Ghost Mother looks like a ghost no matter how you look at her. How could she be a demon?"

"How can the devil be like this?"

As a man who cultivated the Heavenly Demon Body, Wang Wu naturally felt that he had absolute authority in identifying demons. Because if the ghost girl was really a demon, how could he not have that kind of desire for her?
and many more.

Wang Wu suddenly reacted.

People who cultivate the Heavenly Demon Body will not have any desire for other people who have cultivated the Heavenly Demon Body. They will only have desire for those failures who have completely fallen into the devil. They are the perfect food for them.

Then he looked at Zhao Xingyue, who was also looking at him.

"The merchants in ancient times did not cultivate the true way of today, but the devil's way." Looking into Wang Wu's eyes, Zhao Xingyue slowly said:

"You will be drawn into the devil and feed the devil with your body. Eventually, when the devil in your body is fully developed, you will devour it. If your skills are fully developed, you can transform into a true devil and retain your sanity, and embark on the path to heaven."

"And if it doesn't work..."

"Are they the monsters in Dead Soul Mountain?" Wang Wu asked.

"Yeah." Zhao Xingyue nodded.

After listening to Zhao Xingyue's words, Wang Wu fell into deep thought, but after only a short while, he put the matter behind him.

It didn't seem to matter to him what a ghost girl was. He was already a monster, so this kind of thing was not important at all. But what interested him more was whether this world actually had a cultivation method similar to that of the killer brother's hometown?
The Demonic Vajra Body is very similar to the way the ancient Shang Dynasty people practiced in this world, and the Qi power system used in the Killer Brother's world itself will be mistaken by the local humans in this world as real realm martial arts.

"So you are actually planning to dig up the ghost mother's grave?" Wang Wu asked.

“Uh…” Zhao Xingyue’s expression became a little awkward when Wang Wu mentioned this. “Indeed, that was actually a tomb of a monk from the Shang Dynasty where human sacrifices were made. The monk was a noble from the Shang Dynasty, and was extremely noble. That sacrifice also brought prosperity to the Shang Dynasty for decades afterwards.”

"However, that was also the last prosperous era of the Shang Dynasty."

"Why?" Wang Wu asked.

"Because the next one is our Great Zhou." Zhao Xingyue said, "During that grand sacrifice, the merchants offered 99,999 captives, 9,999 ordinary people, 999 local residents, 99 inner and outer nobles, and 9 royal family members with the surname Zi as their sacrifice."

As they were talking, Zhao Xingyue noticed that Wang Wu's eyes seemed a little vague, and after spending a few days together, she knew why.

"Isn't there something you don't understand?" Zhao Xingyue asked.

"Eh?" Wang Wu came back to his senses. "Oh! Yes, what are those people in the town, the internal and external people, and the barbarian captives?"

Zhao Xingyue patiently explained it to Wang Wu, and then said, "Do you understand now?"

"I understand." Wang Wu nodded.

"According to the records in the literature, your ghost mother should be Zi Yuan, one of the royal family of the former Shang Dynasty, and the third daughter of Emperor Di Yi of the former Shang Dynasty, also known as Fu Yuan."

"How pitiful." Hearing about Gui Niang's identity before her death, Wang Wu sighed, "Even if she was the emperor... er, the emperor's daughter, she still had to be sacrificed. Gui Niang is so pitiful." "Hehe, you are quite compassionate to women." Zhao Xingyue chuckled, "But this should be a great honor for Ziyuan, right?"

"After all, merchants believe in ascending to heaven. If one can be used as a human sacrifice in the great sacrifice, he or she can be led by the demon god they believe in and ascend to heaven in one step."

"Those prisoners of war, slaves, and the countrymen, that is, the common people, uh..." Seeing Wang Wu's wandering eyes, Zhao Xingyue sighed, "Those civilians, they are the blood food of the demon god."

"As for the nobles in the inner and outer courts, as well as the heirs of the Shang king, although they will be offered as human sacrifices, their bodies will not be eaten at the Demon Servant Banquet. Instead, they will be properly buried."

"After all, we are going to reach the sky." Zhao Xingyue said with a smile.

After a while, Wang Wu didn't say anything. I looked at him again and found that this guy had actually fallen asleep with his head tilted on the ground. Obviously, he was not very interested in the customs and practices of the previous dynasty.

Looking at him while he was sleeping, staring at that face, Zhao Xingyue was actually a little mesmerized for a moment.

Zhao Xingyue had seen monsters before, and had killed evil monsters that wreaked havoc on a region, even though those monsters looked no less like Wang Wu. But...

Wang Wu was different, very different. All the monsters he and Zhao Xingyue had come into contact with so far, whether they were evil monsters that wreaked havoc on one side, or the monster slaves of the sect, or the good monsters they had come into contact with, were completely different.

“No, no, no no…”

Suddenly coming back to her senses and realizing her own gaffe, Zhao Xingyue felt her face getting hot. At the same time, she felt ashamed for the thoughts that had just popped into her mind.

He suddenly pulled his eyes away from Wang Wu's face, turned his head back to look at the night sky above his head. He forced himself to suppress the chaotic thoughts in his mind, closed his eyes tightly, and continued to refine the demon pill in his hand.

But her efficiency was very poor. It was not until more than an hour later that she managed to calm down.

Time quickly came to early morning. Zhao Xingyue, who was completely immersed in refining the demon pill, suddenly heard a strange sound. It was so strange that he couldn't tell what it was, and it was right next to his ear.

She thought that this might be Wang Wu tinkering with something again, and coupled with the random thoughts she had after he fell asleep last night, she didn't plan to open her eyes to check what was going on.

Although Wang Wu did save her life, the two of them got along very well over the past few days, and Zhao Xingyue's impression of Wang Wu became better and better.

But, this will not, and should not, develop into another kind of emotion.

However, the sound never stopped, and there was a female voice in between. Not only that, but the sound gradually became more and more strange, which aroused her curiosity more and more.

Finally, under the bites of a large number of curious poisonous insects, she gently opened her eyes and looked to her side.

Just with this sight, her pupils trembled for a moment, then immediately closed and turned her head away.

But at this moment, the sound in her ears became louder and louder, and clearer and clearer. Even if she closed her eyes, the scene that had just appeared in her eyes was still retained on her retina and could not be erased at all.

Her face began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye, her body temperature continued to rise, her breathing became rapid, and the heart in her chest began to beat so rapidly that it almost exploded.

"Um...eh, huh? Ah?"

A man's voice sounded beside my ears, first confused, then puzzled, and finally surprised:
"Sanniang? Rat Niang? What are you doing...hiss, stop first, let's get out first, get out first..."

For the rest of the day, Zhao Xingyue didn't take the initiative to talk to Wang Wu.
