Bearing the blue sky

That's right!

Both memories are very likely to be problematic!

In other words, both memories may be false!

"In short, the God of Happiness seems to be related to me."

Yu Xiucai's tone was also full of uncertainty, but then he looked at Zhu Ge solemnly:

"Now the whole village is under control, and only you and I, no, only you can save the whole village."

Save the whole village?

Zhu Ge nodded.

However, I didn't really care.

At the very least, he needs to ensure his own survival before considering anything else.

If burning down the entire village would save his life, he wouldn't hesitate.

He himself must first survive before he can even consider whether or not to save him.

"By the way, how can you maintain that for so long?" Zhu Ge asked curiously.

"What happened yesterday was sudden, but I'm better prepared now," Yu Xiucai explained. "You can ask me any questions you have now."

The two walked quickly down the path, and Yu Xiucai didn't ask Zhu Ge what she wanted to do, showing that he trusted her a lot.

Zhu Ge also took the opportunity to mention what she wanted to do that day.

After he finished speaking, Yu Xiucai didn't say anything, but agreed with Zhu Ge's idea.

After all, for Jianshan Village, any unexpected event could become the turning point.

Along the way, Yu Xiucai also told him some knowledge that he hadn't finished telling him before, about demons, ghosts, spirits, gods and other alien races.

Many things were things that the teacher had not taught me before.

The things the teacher taught us before were mostly about what to do when encountering danger.

And now, Yu Xiucai is saying even more to him.

For example, the talents and characteristics of various ethnic groups that Yu Xiucai knew, as well as some matters concerning cultivation paths.

Like Confucianism, Taoism, and the Dao of Immortality, these are mostly cultivated by humans. They are very weak in the early stages but very strong in the later stages.

It is said that the military strategy created by the strategists, the novelistic strategy created by the novelists, and the mechanical strategy created by the Mohists were very strong in the early stages but became weak in the later stages.

Martial arts is very strong in the early stages, but its later stages are unknown...

In short, each has its own merits.

Of course, Yu Xiucai also repeatedly emphasized that these were all his and his teacher's shallow understanding.

The real experience will be for Zhu Ge to see, experience, and summarize for himself in the future.

As they talked, they soon arrived at the border.

The boundary of Jianshan Village is enclosed by a small circle of low fences.

It's less than half a meter high, so plants and animals won't be obstructed, but it can warn people who are about to cross the boundary.

Outside the boundary, it's no longer within the range of your aura.

"It's almost midnight." Upon arriving at the border, Zhu Ge glanced at the sky and made a casual assessment.

The chirping of insects usually started around midnight a few days ago.

The chirping of those insects contained a pattern, unlike ordinary chirping, which is why the blessing song felt something as soon as it started playing.

Of course, he guessed that it was because the others, although alive, had all had their spirits taken away, so they could not hear the chirping of insects.

Just then, a soft "click" sound came from ahead.

Zhu Ge and Yu Xiucai immediately tensed up.

"What a demon..." Scholar Yu couldn't help but crouch down. "An insect demon?"

Zhu Ge, who was quite nervous, looked at Yu Xiucai hiding behind her with surprise upon seeing this: "Are you afraid of insects? Or demons?"

No.

He sent Yu Xiucai to protect him!

Why does it seem like Scholar Yu is even more afraid than him?

"I, I'm not afraid!" Upon hearing this, Yu Xiucai straightened his chest, but still crouched down behind him.

The blessing song was silent.

But he also knew that Yu Xiucai was only two years older than him and hadn't ventured out into the world much.

Fear is normal.

"Smack."

A crisp sound, clearly the sound of a dry branch being broken by foot.

Yu Xiucai shuddered, and his straight body suddenly went limp again.

Zhu Ge, however, looked solemnly ahead.

In the pitch-black darkness, two long, flexible tentacles pierced straight into the moon.

Then came two huge, pale yellow compound eyes.

Then its entire body, over two meters tall, emerged from among the trees.

A giant cricket!

It walks upright on two strong hind legs!

Its split claws wriggled as it chewed on a thick blade of grass, while its four slender legs hung naturally at its sides.

Upon seeing the enormous black cricket, Zhu Ge's pupils constricted.

"What a huge alarm machine!" Yu Xiucai behind him screamed.

He then rolled his eyes and was about to fall backward when the character "儒" (Ru, meaning Confucian) on his chest flashed violently for a moment before disappearing from his chest.

That scared you away?!

Zhu Ge stiffened for a moment, but was too exhausted to complain.

Is this all there is to the title of the first realm of Confucianism and Taoism?

As for the term "jizi," it is probably a unique term used in this area, belonging to the local dialect, and roughly refers to insects such as crickets and grasshoppers.

However, Zhu Ge didn't have time to think about that anymore, because the giant cricket had already come to him.

Countless tiny cicadas appeared in the compound eyes of the large cricket, and its hard and sharp mouth almost touched the cicada's head.

The large cricket's wings vibrated, and a sound immediately filled the air:

"Did your two kids know I was here?"

How can sound be produced by vibrating the air through the flapping of wings?

Zhu Ge glanced at the shell and wings on the back of the giant cricket, then said in a deep voice, "Your chirping is disturbing my sleep, so I came to see what's going on."

"Oh? You only brought a lowly scholar from the first realm?" The giant cricket's head didn't show any expression, but its voice carried a hint of mockery:

"And you, you dare to come here without even having mastered the basics of martial arts?"

"Your two cuddle must be delicious."

Is gaga delicious?

"Gaga" means meat.

This big cricket has a really strong Sichuan accent.

"Delicious?" Zhu Ge showed no fear whatsoever, and continued, "You dare not cross the line, because you are afraid of those two gods!"

That's right.

Upon seeing this large cricket, Zhuge confirmed it.

This large cricket has been watching Jianshan Village in some way.

Since you're interested in Jianshan Village, you must know that the gentleman has already left.

But there must be a reason why this insect demon did not directly enter the boundary area but stayed outside the boundary.

I'm afraid of God!

They fear one of the gods, or perhaps both!

"Afraid? I am a demon in human form..." Before the giant cricket could finish speaking, it saw Yu Xiucai, who had been slumped behind Zhu Ge, get up again.

Then, the giant cricket slowly stopped talking.

"Zhuge, there's a god nearby, hurry home and hide!" Yu Xiucai's voice was stiff and numb, with a mechanical quality.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ge knew that Yu Xiucai was now under control again.

He was about to say something more to the giant cricket when, to his surprise, the giant cricket suddenly opened its wings with a "whoosh".

"Whoosh—"

Its wings flapped, creating a strong gust of wind around it.

"hiss!!!!"

Then the giant cricket suddenly pushed off the ground with its powerful hind legs, propelling its entire body into the air and disappearing instantly.

They actually escaped?!

Zhu Ge was taken aback, then suddenly realized something and looked up at Yu Xiucai behind her.

Yu Xiucai's empty, lifeless eyes were also staring at the dark night sky.

The scholar Yu, who was under control, actually scared away the insect demon from before.

Zhu Ge immediately confirmed her guess.

That insect demon dared not cross the boundary because it was afraid of those two gods!

"So, is that insect demon good or bad?"

Zhu Ge frowned deeply.

He originally intended to bring in a strong ally, but this insect demon sounded quite powerful, being at the Transformation Realm, which was probably a realm classification for demons.

But in reality, he was scared away by Yu Xiucai.

"Zhu Ge, you should go back quickly..." Yu Xiucai urged again.

Zhu Ge then realized what was happening.

seem……

Instead of telling him to go get married, Yu Xiucai told him to go back and lock the doors and windows.
