The Devil Child Comes to the World, Li’s Mansion, Inside the Xuanhuang Diagram of the Universe.

After watching the whole process from the conversation between the strong man and the old man who helped the old man walk towards the Li Mansion, Nezha sat on the ground without saying a word.

He should have been happy, after all, judging from the conversation between the strong man and the old man, he didn't save all the ungrateful wolves, and some people still knew that they were grateful to him.

But he couldn't be happy at all.

"Did I really... save them?"

Nezha sat on the ground with his knees in his arms, and for the first time in his life, he began to reflect on himself.

The villagers' fearful eyes, the girl's childish smile, the big man roaring in the village square, and the old man who knocked blood from his forehead in front of Li's mansion...

For the first time in Nezha's life, was he right? Did he really want to save those people and help those people, or did he actually just want to kill the monsters and accept the gratitude and admiration of those people?

"Why...they are they so afraid of me?"

Nezha sat on the ground with her knees in her arms, whispering in a low voice.

Recalling what the big man said in the water curtain, Nezha suddenly looked at Gu Yunze: "Old Gu, do you know what happened when I was born?"

"You really want to see it?"

Gu Yunze looked at Nezha's eyes and Nezha nodded.

"Okay," Gu Yunze waved his hand, and the picture of the water curtain changed again. "This is the picture I cut out from the secret of heaven. Since you insist on knowing, then take a look."

Nezha looked at the water curtain, and the scene in the water curtain flashed. He clearly saw that he was born and easily seriously injured dozens of people. While smiling evilly, he held up a flame to blow up other people's houses.

Even throwing flames into the crowd.

Until Taiyi threw out the Qiankun Circle and suppressed Nezha's demonic nature, the picture of the water curtain ended.

"I did this...?!"

Nezha's eyes widened.

"To be precise, it should be that you were controlled by the power in your body when you were just born, and you didn't have consciousness."

Gu Yunze shrugged: "Now I understand why they are so afraid of you? Because you did have a criminal record when you were born. As far as I know, although you did not kill people, you have at least seriously injured dozens of people. Generally, even if the demons invade, there are rarely dozens of people seriously injured."

Gu Yunze paused and added: "But demons can kill and eat people. Part of their fear of you comes from the damage caused when you were born, and the other part is the fear of your powerful power."

"Fear...my power?"

"You remember the girl who wanted to play shuttlecock with you. Do you remember the first time you played shuttlecock with your mother? Your mother is a human master who is enough to fight the demons head-on. You accidentally kicked the shuttlecock into the wall."

Gu Yunze explained: "Your power is far beyond ordinary people, or even more than most demons. You should be glad that you did not play shuttlecock with the girl at that time, otherwise the child would probably be kicked directly into a pool of meat by you."

"I..." Nezha opened his eyes wide, "But I can control my own strength?"

"Yes, you can control it, but the problem is how others find out that you can actually control your own power. You are not dangerous? They only saw you kill one monster with two moves and destroy half of the village."

Gu Yunze shrugged.

"Did I... really do it?"

"You mean killing monsters and destroying half of the village?"

"Um."

Nezha nodded in a cowardly manner.

"If you say it wrong, it is definitely true. After all, you killed a cannibal monster and saved their lives. This is definitely not wrong. But the behavior you show during the battle makes it difficult for them to believe or get close to you even if they are grateful to you."

"Why?!"

Nezha asked.

"You actually have the answer in your mind, but you are not willing to admit it, right?"

“…”

Nezha was silent. Gu Yunze was right. Nezha had an answer in his heart, but he was unwilling to admit it from the bottom of his heart. If his parents saved people, in the eyes of others, it was a human hero who killed demons, then he was a powerful demon who killed another demon.

Nezha must admit that when he killed the bird demon, the most important thing in his heart was definitely not the life of ordinary people. Otherwise, he would not have been able to pull the bird demon into the village casually, and he was more concerned about whether he could kill this monster.

I care more about whether I can prove myself.

I care more about whether I can get recognition.

Yes, agree.

Although he didn't say it, Nezha himself knew that he really wanted to get recognition from others.

So he longs for others' gratitude and respect, so he killed the bird demon in the village.

He saved many people, but the white-bearded village chief outside said that half of the houses in the village were destroyed and half of the fields could not be planted with food - someone would die because of this.

He really didn't know that demon blood would pollute the fields, but the damage to the house was completely avoided. He just had to pay a little attention and just didn't kill the bird demon into the village.

But he didn't. He didn't care about this. He didn't care whether the people whose house was destroyed would have no place to live. All he cared about was whether he could kill the monster and get recognition from others.

It was not until the old man said that someone in the village would die that Nezha finally realized that he might not really deserve the thanks from the villagers, even if he saved them from the bird demon.

In the eyes of all villagers, including the village chief, Nezha just killed the monster that would threaten their lives, that's all.

"Old Gu, I want to go to the village to have a look..."

Nezha stood up and said.

"Now? It's dark, are you sure you want to go?"

"Um!"

Nezha focuses on the key points.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Before Gu Yunze finished speaking, the scenery around the two had turned into a half-destroyed village.

Some people lie next to the ruins overnight, and the ruins beside him are his home.

Li Jing did arrange money, grain and residence for the village, but even Li Jing could not all resettle all the people in half of the village. In the end, he could only temporarily resettle those who were the least easy to get through.

Some of the remaining people were divided into a place by people with good houses, but not many people were able to share the place with others, so in the end some people could only sleep outside.

Nezha and Gu Yunze stood quietly in the dark night, and the silver moonlight shone down, scattering a layer of silver on the new ruins in the village.

Next to the ruins of the house illuminated by the moonlight, hungry villagers curled up and fell asleep.

Nezha's eyes fell on the leader of the "Demon-Eliminating Gang". He was the girl's sister. His sister was placed because she was too young, but he and his mother did not.

Under the moonlight, the child who had thrown rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at Nezha quietly got up. He could not see Gu Yunze and Nezha - they had an invisibility spell. He looked at his curled mother beside him and took off his small, thin coat.

He covered the small, thin, old cloth on his sleeping mother, although the cloth could only cover a small piece of his mother's upper body.

The child was naked and fell into his mother's arms, pillowed with the ruins, covered with moonlight, and fell asleep again.
