body 758, painting the screen demon king hall, ten ancestors and nine longevity
Cheng Tianle heard the words and said with a smile: "Elder, you don't have to explain this to me. In fact, I met the car halfway and followed it all the way to the bridge. I could clearly see the cause and effect and had no interest in paying any more attention to it. I believe this kind of thing
The matter is nothing to Wuling Township... But I once heard the people in the car chatting and mentioned that the local people were open to the public. I think people outside the mountain must have misunderstood it. What is going on?"
In his mind, he relayed to Yun Chongmo the conversation he heard between Secretary Wang and the driver on the road. The driver, Mr. Li, all the girls in Wuling Township are beauties. It is certainly not unusual for female monsters to be beautiful. But the driver, Mr. Li,
Li also mentioned that the folk customs here are quite open, and many girls gave birth to children before they were married. Some gave birth locally, and some came back from outside, but there was no trouble.
Yun Chongmo also smiled and explained in his mind. Although Wuling Township looked like a human village, its residents were all monsters after all. Those monsters who transformed into humans must have a legal origin.
There are more than 600 registered residents here. In fact, the real number is only just over 400. There are more than 200 people who do not exist in reality and only exist in the household registration files of Wuling Township.
That is to say, Cheng Tianle saw less than 300 demon cultivators here. In fact, there were only more than 100 residents of Wuling Township who had moved to other places or traveled. The residents here were all demon beasts that were brought back. The real relationship
Of course, it won't be the family lineage written in the household registration file, which is only for the outside world to see.
Wuling Township will occasionally fabricate a batch of non-existent birth certificates and household registrations, according to the maximum scope allowed by the family planning policy, for future use. For example, the township government has prepared a new birth for Yunchongmo in the past year.
Certificate and a new identity. Of course, Yun Chongmo will not need it now. But it will be available in a few decades, so everything should be prepared in advance.
As they spoke, they had already walked out of the village, facing undulating mountains and lush trees, dotted with various exotic flowers and plants. Cheng Tianle suddenly sensed that Yunxiang Chang was casting a spell. It was a unique induction spell, and then
The great elder took one step forward, but did not enter the forest. He seemed to have turned into a shadow in front of him.
Cheng Tianle followed and took a step forward. He passed through the portal of the Demon King's Secret Realm. The Demon King's Secret Realm is on the edge of the village, and its entrance is not far from the small building where Cheng Tianle lives these days. The backyard door is
It's directly facing here, just a few steps away. But if Yunchongmo doesn't open it for Cheng Tianle, he won't be able to see it even if he's close at hand.
After personally passing through the portal of the Demon King's Secret Realm, Cheng Tianle understood what kind of place it was. Although it was not the Little Kunlun Cave Heaven Barrier, the boundary separating it from the outside world had the characteristics of the Little Kunlun Barrier and was a kind of migration.
It was built with superb techniques of turning space. In a sense, this secret realm of the Demon King seems to be a half-built Kunlun Cave.
After taking this step, Yun Chongmo's figure that had just turned into a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. The great elder explained: "I think there were ten demon kings who assisted Patriarch Zhengyi in building Zhengyi Sanshan.
.What they built was a space barrier that separated them from the outside world. Later, they also tried their luck here, leaving behind this secret realm of the Demon King."
When Yunchongmo spoke, Cheng Tianle was looking around with a shocked expression because he saw a well-preserved Tang Dynasty building complex. What if Luo Kedi, a disciple of the Wanbian Sect and a famous expert in identification and archaeology, came to
Here, you will probably scream in surprise. On a semi-high slope surrounded by a valley, there are dozens of neat ancient buildings, just like another village or manor.
The houses here are not as cluttered as outside. Some are grand and solemn, some are elegant and light. They are palace-garden-style buildings, completely in the ancient style of the Tang Dynasty, and were built with the most exquisite craftsmanship of that era. Various buildings are arranged in order.
, well-proportioned, with a colorful stone avenue passing through the center, leading directly to a main hall.
Yun Chongmo pointed to the main hall and said: "That is the place where we worship and enshrine our ancestors, and this secret realm of the Demon King is also where the Dacheng Demon Cultivators usually retreat to practice. There is no one else here at the moment, everyone
The members of the Presbyterian Church, except me, are all in the township government meeting room."
If you don't look at the palace and this classical manor-like building complex, the scenery here is no different from the outside world. If you cross the portal accidentally, you won't even realize that you have entered the secret realm of the Demon King that was not discovered before. Outside
You can't see here, but you can see the outside world clearly from here. Looking back, you can still see the village where Wuling Township is located, as if there is no obstacle.
Cheng Tianle asked: "Have the buildings here been preserved since the Tang Dynasty?"
Yun Chongmo nodded and said: "They are the earliest residences of the demon cultivators here. They were built by the ten demon kings and the group of demons from Kunlun Wonderland. They are unknown to the world. As for the villages outside, they were gradually built by the demon cultivators of later generations over the millennia.
The Demon King’s Secret Realm has been built and has become a place of inheritance.”
Walk through this ancient manor to the front of the main hall, climb the ten stone steps, and enter the Mingtang-style main hall. In the middle is a table several feet long. In front of it is not an altar, but a row of screens.
There are ten screens in total. Each screen has a painting on it. Each screen has a person and an inscription next to it. They are the ten demon kings from a thousand years ago.
Looking from right to left, they are "Cheng Yaowang sees benevolence", "Sun Yaowang sees wisdom", "Peng Yaowang sees industry", "Zhang Yaowang Yongjun", "Yao Yaowang Shaojie", "Song Yaowang Shihong", "Duan Yaowang Rugang",
"Thank you Demon King Liquan", "Xiao Demon King Xiaoming", "Xu Demon King Shengzhi".
Cheng Tianle also discovered an "acquaintance" here. He once saw a stone archway under Fazhu Peak of Zhengyisan Mountain. On the stone pillars on both sides, there was a couplet engraved on it: "If the clouds and water are careless, they will become rain and dew when they come out of the world; the springs and stones will move."
Listen clearly, enter
"Kunlun Transforms Mountains and Rivers", the signature is Xu Yaowang Shengzhi. However, the Xu Yaowang painted on the screen is holding a fan with a poem inscribed on it. The fan is raised to block his facial features, making it difficult for people to see him clearly.
's appearance.
Cheng Tianle looked at the portraits of the top ten demon kings on the screen. Yun Chongmo sent another spiritual thought and introduced the situation of these ten demon kings to him. The first three demon kings all had the word "Seeing" in their names.
"The word "respectively" means seeing benevolence,
Seeing wisdom and seeing industry, their original bodies are green oxen, which are closely related to the Taoist ancestor Taishang. Later, the original body of Demon King Zhang was a wolf, the original body of Demon King Yao was a weasel, and the original body of Demon King Song was a long
Ear Rabbit, the original body of Demon King Duan is a snake.
As for Xie Demon King, he should not actually be called the Demon King, because this person is not a demon cultivator. He is originally a wisteria and belongs to the spirit of grass and trees. Since he got into the ranks of the top ten demon kings, he also called himself a demon king.
King. Xiaoming, the ninth-ranked demon king, was originally a colorful pheasant. As for the tenth demon king, Shengzhi, his original origin is unknown.
Among these ten demon kings, only one Yao Demon King, Shaojie, failed to undergo the punishment of heaven and reentered reincarnation when he ascended. The remaining nine have all ascended and become immortals.
Cheng Tianle was stunned and said: "Does this last demon king not know who he is?"
Yun Chongmo replied: "Yes, even the original Patriarch Zhengyi didn't see it, and he has never revealed his true identity."
Cheng Tianle pointed at Xiao Yao Wang Xiaoming and said: "There are eight demon kings here whose descriptions are lifelike, but the last two demon kings can't see clearly what they look like. Although the demon king Xu did not describe it, it was just in the painting.
It happened that he was waving his fan to block his facial features; but what exactly is this Xiao Demon King carrying on his head?"
Yun Chongmo looked like he wanted to laugh, but in order to avoid being disrespectful to his ancestor, he tried his best to hold it back and replied in a strange tone: "It should be a pickle jar."
I saw that King Xie Yao in the painting could not see his face clearly. There was something like a pickle jar on his head. The bottom of the jar was still broken, and there was a section of bird-feather-like crown feathers sticking out. He was wearing colorful clothes.
Yun Chongmo also had an explanation in his mind as to why the Demon King had such an ordinary appearance in this solemn hall.
The paintings on this screen were left behind according to the wishes of the top ten demon kings. Each has its own reasons and fate, and it is difficult for others to understand the mysterious intentions. This Xiao demon king Xiaoming was the most witty among the top ten demon kings at that time.
, the most naughty one. He once dressed up like this on Fengyi Mountain on the outskirts of Wucheng, calling himself Phoenix Immortal, and enlightening a pair of junior practitioners. Later, he left such a screen in the Demon King's Palace.
Yun Chongmo also answered Cheng Tianle's first question just now, which was the inheritance of demon cultivators here. After every demon beast is brought to Wuling Township, the Council of Elders will leave a spiritual heart seal to guide them, so that they can open up their spiritual wisdom.
Monsters practice on their own, and they usually get along with the monsters in Wuling Township and learn various worldly things. If a certain monster transforms into a human form, it will be taken into the secret realm to the Demon King's Palace.
The demon cultivator can choose which demon king to worship. Wuling Township has its own set of secret rituals, allowing him to obtain the inherited guidance left by the demon king. This ritual of receiving inheritance is also the process of receiving ordination.
Demon cultivators must make an oath to the inner demon, follow the guidance, and protect the inheritance. If they leave this place and enter the human world in the future, they must also abide by the inheritance precepts of Wuling Township.
The average demon cultivator here only has one chance to enter the secret realm of the demon king, which is when he transforms into a human form. If he can achieve the great success of Xuande, he will have a second chance to inherit the inheritance. Then he can worship in front of the portrait of the demon king. According to the
Specific rituals provide guidance for practice after attaining great achievements. There are secret transmissions in the mind seal of the mind, so you know the method of opening the door and can freely enter and exit the secret realm. You can choose a residence here to practice in retreat, and you will naturally become a member of the Earth Elders Council.
The more Cheng Tianle listened, the more surprised he became, and the more he listened, the more curious he became, and asked: "Excuse me, Great Elder, you also received the inheritance here, which senior demon king did you choose back then?"
