After seven days of devout worship, the door to the Demon King's Palace actually opened by itself, after hundreds of years!

Unfortunately, the Demon King Palace was only for them. He and other demons who had guarded this place for generations could not enter. They had to watch them step in and leave after 49 days. The gate closed again and no outside objects could move in.

After this incident, the "Palace Master" became more active and moved the "Xiaoqian Cave" base from the endless deep mountains, and found a place called "Yuxu Mountain" close to the mortal world to settle down. He changed his title to "Master" and sent the demon tribesmen back to their original place to guard the Demon King Palace in turn. It is unknown what his intention is.

As for what the man with five-colored hair and the Qingqiu fox demon saw and got in the Demon King's Palace, the Peach Spirit had no idea.

"Hair is five colors, five colors, could it be the Peacock Demon King Taili? Are he and the little fox reincarnated, or did they enter the Conferred God World through the secrets of the demon clan?"

Meng Qi had calmed down his surprise and frowned as he thought about the matter, but he could not come to a conclusion.

What made him "look at it with new eyes" was the "Chui Yi Zi" who was suppressed in the back mountain of Shaolin in the past, the talkative and irritating descendant of Kunpeng. It turned out that he was not bragging and there really was a Demon King Palace!
There are legends about the Demon King in his own world, but they date back to the ancient times. Like Yuanshi and the other three Taoist masters, he is almost a myth, and few real deeds have been passed down. It is said that he achieved enlightenment earlier than the Demon Saint, but he has never cared about the affairs of the demon clan and has never been partial to them. Only the "Demon King Classic" has been passed down. His status in the eyes of the demon clan is slightly lower than that of the Demon Saint.

But there has never been a "Demon King Palace" in my world, not even a rumor. It is very unlikely that "Chui Yizi" can deceive people by just bragging. Could it be that he really has a "family background" and knows a lot of secrets?"

Meng Qi couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao. After learning that Lin Xiao was Shang Yi's clone, Meng Qi wanted to get some information from Lin Xiao.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao transmitted his voice:
“The legend of the Demon King Palace says that it is the holy temple of the demon race that spans all space and time, and it is a top-notch, peerless divine weapon!

You should have heard some legends about Nuwa creating humans. The legendary Demon King is Nuwa! "

"Empress Nuwa!?"

As his thoughts turned, Meng Qi put the matter aside for the time being, because with their strength, facing the legendary Demon King, they were nothing more than ants. At most, they could tell Xianji about it as intelligence and become a topic of conversation with their friends.

"Yuxu Mountain..."

After thinking about the events of the Demon King Palace, the little fox and Chui Yi Zi, Meng Qi suddenly felt that this name was strange. It was only one letter different from "Yuxu Palace". Could there be any connection between them, or did it imply something?
So, using Yuxu as the "keyword", Meng Qi summoned up the relevant memory fragments of Tao Jing. Scenes flashed before his eyes, and voices passed through his heart.

There are not many of them, and they are basically related to "Yuxu Mountain", not the "Yuxu" that Meng Qi hoped for. For example, on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, a woodcutter was eaten in Yuxu Mountain.

When Meng Qi was about to give up, a memory fragment enlarged, which was the peach spirit chatting with his junior brother:
"Junior brother, what is the head teacher talking about in secret with Mr. Bole?"

The peach fairy asked.

Big Head Junior rubbed his ears:

"Master Master, don't you understand us? We have been prepared for this, and there are constant noises around us!"

"I only vaguely heard the words 'Yuxu remnants', and it was only because Bole-kun's voice got out of control and became louder that I was able to hear it."

"The remnants of Yuxu..."

Meng Qi frowned. This was really a surprising name.

You must know that Bole Jun claimed to be a descendant of King Wen and wanted to use his relationship with the Heavenly Court to achieve the possibility of being deified after his death. However, he was actually hostile to the Yuxu Palace and even joined forces with the demon clan to hunt down the so-called "Yuxu remnants."

But if you think about it carefully, according to the information provided by the immortals, not long after the Conferred Gods, the Twelve Golden Immortals disappeared, some were rumored to have passed away, some returned to Buddhism, and the orthodox teachings of the Chan school had long been destroyed. Even the disciples who entered the Conferred Gods and became saints in the flesh fell from heaven and never descended to the earth to show their sainthood. It seems that like other immortals, only various legends have been left behind.

As a result, among the secret Taoist sects today, there are many that can be related to the Kunlun lineage, but they are all branches of side branches. Not only do they not have the Yuanshi inheritance, but even the Taoist lineages of the Twelve Golden Immortals are rare. They are not even as close as the relationship between several princes and the Yuxu Palace, and are not as good as the discovery of the place where Yun Zhongzi sat in meditation and many of the "immortal traces" of the Golden Immortal Taoist lineages!
And those who can be called the remnants of Yuxu are probably the side branches of the side branches. Think about the Biyou Palace on Mount Kunlun and think about Yang Jian and Yang Erlang who are suppressing something, and everything seems understandable.

This world is indeed weird, no wonder the Heavenly Venerable does not dare to act rashly... Meng Qi did not find any other clues, and killed the peach spirit in a snap, revealing a gnarled peach tree.

“This is good material!”

Meng Qi evaluated the value of the Peach Spirit's true body.

As he was speaking, he suddenly noticed that Zhao Bai, Bai Song and the others were looking at him strangely, so he immediately added calmly:

"Although God is merciful, we cannot let such people who wantonly kill innocent people go. Saving their lives is equivalent to killing ten or a hundred people. Killing one monster can save countless lives. How can we be hypocritical and not do it? Even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go!"

"Even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go..."

Bai Song was stunned at first, but after savoring it carefully, his eyes became excited and he kept repeating this sentence. He felt that his whole spirit and soul had been sublimated and he wished he could die for "righteousness" immediately.

This is the demeanor of a saint!
This is what righteousness is!
Oops, I plagiarized the words of the ancient sage and the sub-sage in my previous life... Meng Qi didn't check and blurted it out, feeling quite embarrassed. If he was alone here, he would have been able to admit it shamelessly, but his friends are watching him!
Mohism is not mentioned in the mission, and quoting the "Tao Te Ching" is also for argumentation. But if I continue to plagiarize the words of the old man Rensheng, will I be hunted down by the magical weapons and holy objects he left behind in the future?

Jiang Zhiwei and the others pursed their lips and looked at the "sanctimonious" Meng Qi, trying hard to hold back their smiles, and transmitted their voices:

"The Peach Spirit has a mustard seed ring, three natural treasures, a plant of itself, and a 'Bell of Ecstasy', which should be able to be used once more..."

At this point, she added with a smile:
"I know you care about this the most."

Is the word "money-grubber" written on my face? Meng Qi stroked his beardless chin.

Judging from what happened just now, the power of the "Mysterious Bell" is between the fourth and fifth levels of the outer scene. It is specialized in the primordial spirit and is a strange secret treasure that can be put to use. The imitation of the "Map of Mountains and Rivers and the State" is likely to deceive even the master, and it can trap or affect him a little.

Honestly speaking, if it wasn't for a special and powerful secret treasure, Meng Qi would look down upon attack and defense secret treasures below the fifth level. Even though his own realm couldn't fully exert the effect of "Flowing Fire", as a top-grade treasure weapon, one strike had the power of a fourth-level secret treasure. That was also the reason why he was able to kill the big-headed monster just now.

"What a pity! I'm afraid they have used all their other items to set up the killing array..."

Meng Qi took a reluctant look at the remaining killing formation. Fearing that the other party might have helpers later, he did not dare to waste time dismantling the formation. He flew into the clouds and fled quickly, changing directions repeatedly.

During this process, Meng Qi secretly told Jiang Zhiwei and others the memories he saw from the Peach Spirit, and finally said:

"The head of Xiaoqian Cave is a half-step Dharmakaya-level monster. There are also several master-level monster lords who are in charge of the authentic Mountain and River State Map. With our current strength, it is better not to provoke them."

Even if Lingbao Tianzun took action personally, it would still be extremely dangerous. What kind of treasure is the genuine "Map of Mountains and Rivers"? It is a peerless divine weapon! If you can't kill Lingbao Tianzun, you can also trap him inside and wait for one or two hundred years until the end of his life.

Although Jiang Zhiwei and the others had never heard of the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the State, and did not know what the authentic one was like, they vaguely remembered that it was on the exchange chart of the Six Paths. Moreover, having just witnessed the magical mystery of the imitation, they could guess a little about the power of the authentic one. Therefore, they had no objection to Meng Qi's proposal, but were quite interested in the matter of the Demon King.

"Nuwa is one of the natural gods. It is said that she became enlightened in the ancient times, earlier than Emperor Fu. Only the legend of her creation of human beings remains. She is the mother goddess of our human race. Who would have thought that she might be the Demon King..."

When talking about similar things, Ruan Yushu, who comes from a family of scholarly scholars, would show interest in his calmness and talk more.

"It is said that Nuwa has a human head and a snake body, and she does look like a monster." Zhao Heng guessed.

Ruan Yushu shook his head:
"The gods are neither human nor demon, and each has its own shape."

Jiang Zhiwei agreed:

"It has a human head and a snake body. It is the origin of the word 'Tao'. It is not a symbol of the demon race."

The character "道" (Tao) looks like a human head with a snake body.

But she paused and said:
"Many demons are also descendants of gods. Perhaps..."

Meng Qi took over the conversation and nodded:

"In the ancient times, the powerful often had multiple identities, either two sides of the same coin, or a special body. Perhaps Nuwa is both the mother goddess of the human race and the demon king."

For example, the Green Emperor may have three identities: the Green Emperor, Taiyi Rescuer of Sufferings and Medicine Buddha, or even more!
Having said that, he smiled and looked at Qi Zhengyan:

"Nuwa has never passed down her teachings, but now she has the Demon King Canon."

“Brother Qi, your Hun Tian Bao Jian seems to be related to her. It may be the lineage of the Mother Goddess of the human race or the identity of a natural god. The Demon King Palace is destined to be with you!”

The exchange chart of the Six Paths did not mention who the founder of "Hun Tian Bao Jian" was, and only vaguely mentioned Nuwa, but Meng Qi knew that it was the goddess Nuwa in a certain comic. According to the characteristics of the "legend" and "the only one in the world" of the powerful beings above, perhaps it was really created by Nuwa!
Qi Zhengyan turned his head away and ignored Meng Qi's nonsense. Even if the "Hun Tian Bao Jian" was really the Taoist tradition of Nuwa, what was the big deal about him being distracted by the inheritance of the Demon King?

Makes him neither human nor demon?

What's more, he has already inherited the Demon Lord's legacy and started practicing. If he really went to the Demon King Palace, he would probably be regarded as the descendant of the Demon Lord and be eliminated!

At this time, Zhao Baijian had escaped far enough and asked:
"Mr. Su, where are we going next?"

"We have offended Lord Bole and Xiaoqian Cave in Yuxu Mountain. We must leave this place immediately and enter other secret sects and territories ruled by princes. Only in this way can we use external forces to deter subsequent pursuit."

Meng Qi thought clearly and said, "Then find a small country."

Bai Song immediately said:
"Tang and Chu are both large vassal states, slightly stronger than Han. There are also powerful Taoist sects such as Wudang Mountain Jinguang Cave nearby. Xiaoqian Cave in Yuxu Mountain will definitely not dare to enter easily."

The Golden Light Cave in Wudang Mountain? Meng Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and remembered the information from Xianji. Since the turmoil in the world, six overlords have appeared in the past few hundred years, subduing other vassal states and becoming the "leaders of the nations."

Some of them attained the Dharmakaya early on, while others only achieved it after ascending to the throne of overlord. They were all different, but they all suddenly retired in their prime and took refuge in secret Taoist or Buddhist sects, which aroused suspicion.

A hundred years ago, the King of Chu retreated to the "Jinguan Cave in Wudang Mountain". Since then, the world lost its hegemony and the unrest intensified.

Seeing Meng Qi pondering, Bai Song added:
"Tang and Chu have been at war for years, with a dozen small countries in between, each annexing one side. It's just right for you, Mr. Su, to display your talents!"

Meng Qi took a deep breath and nodded slightly:
"it is good!"

It just so happens that the reform of Mohism has been completed. We are familiar with what can be said in a small country and what cannot be said. It is a good opportunity to try out the effect!

Lin Xiao had no objection to this. Firstly, he followed Meng Qi as a Mohist, so naturally he could not take over the show. Secondly, he was also very interested in such things. Perhaps he could bring out the way of fighting spirit derived from the red sacrificial path and start a prairie fire in this world in advance.

This is also a test of Yuanshi Tianzun by Shang Yi. Anyway, doing so will only benefit Meng Qi and not harm him. It also allows him to see Yuanshi Tianzun's attitude towards the human race.

The Taoist Master back then was a human, so even though Donghuang Taiyi and Haotian were competing for the position of Heavenly Emperor in the last era, the human race also became the protagonist of heaven and earth.

In this era, although the Three Pure Ones are close to the human race, when the Human Emperor rose to power, the only ones who supported the human race were the Taoist Lord of Morality and the Demon Emperor. Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun disappeared because of their pursuit of emptiness, making it unclear what their attitudes are.

Although the Three Pure Ones chose Meng Qi, in their eyes Meng Qi does not necessarily represent the human race. In order to achieve enlightenment, the human race can also be sacrificed!

······
Chen State, Shangying City.

Just as the sky was getting light, an ordinary middle-aged man hurried towards the west gate. His original temperament was very servile, but as he walked, he held his head high and chest out, looking straight ahead, as if he was superior to others.

He is Tian Jian, a servant of Sikou Tian Heng. Now he has received an order from his master to go to the bamboo forest west of the city to investigate something.

Although Shangying is not a famous city, it has tens of thousands of households. The city is divided into palace, noble, market and civilian areas. Each area has several neighborhoods, each forming a group. Often, what happens in a neighborhood will not be heard of just across the street, which shows the state of a big city. Although Tian Heng is the Sikou who is in charge of criminal cases and catching thieves, it is difficult for him to know about ordinary trivial matters. As long as there is no big disturbance or no one reports him, he is happy to be idle.

More than a month ago, a few people from the State of Chu came to give lectures in the bamboo forest west of the city. Tian Heng had never heard of them until he heard about them from his servants recently. Then he realized that the momentum seemed to be getting a little bigger.

Originally, he did not support the lectures but would not suppress them. After all, this was a popular trend in various countries in the past decade or so, and there was no need to be too serious about it and get a reputation as being stubborn. However, as the lectures in the Bamboo Grove became more and more famous, one thing after another finally reached his ears, which shocked him so he sent a trusted servant to investigate.

Tian Jian walked briskly, and people who knew him on the street would stop and salute him, which gave him great satisfaction. But as he got closer to the bamboo forest in the west of the city, this situation gradually disappeared. There were more people walking with him than seeing him facing each other, and most of them walked in a hurry, for fear of missing something important.

"Are you all going to listen to the lecture in the bamboo forest?" Tian Jian was slightly startled, then he collected his thoughts and quickly followed.

The bamboo forest in the west of the city is called a bamboo forest, but in fact it is just a sparse patch of bamboo and has nothing to do with a forest. At this time, in the center there is a rammed earth towering half a person's height, on which sits a woman, dressed in elegant white, with a cold expression, noble temperament, and delicate and beautiful features, like a fairy from the Moon Palace descending to the mortal world.

She looked a little immature, like she was only about twenty years old, but Tian Jian's heart was shaken by her, and he almost couldn't control himself. He couldn't help but sighed: "Bao Si in the past was probably no more than this..."

He was a servant of Sikou's family. He could read and punctuate, and had read a lot.

Looking around, he found that many of the people sitting around him had expressions of admiration and respect, but none of them were frivolous.

There was a seven-stringed harp placed in front of the sitting woman. Suddenly, she stroked it gently. The sound was pleasant to the ears, exceptionally clear and refreshing, which gave people a sense of spiritual enlightenment. Then, Tian Jian found that everyone around him straightened their bodies, behaved properly, and there was no more whispering.

"Today we will talk about the second chapter of "The Ink Book"..." The woman's voice sounded like the sound of a piano.

Tian Jian frowned. Only the second chapter? Or how many times has it been the second chapter?
He maintained a haughty and serious attitude, but as he listened, his expression gradually and involuntarily changed, as if he had taken off his rigid mask and revealed his lively and brilliant true face.

The "Ink Book" turned out to be a secret manual of martial arts!

She actually taught the secrets to all the listeners in public?
Moreover, he taught people how to read and write while imparting the skills!
Tian Jian felt that this was ridiculous, as if he was trapped in a funny dream. As a trusted servant of the master, he had naturally been taught martial arts a long time ago and was quite powerful. He did not care much about the martial arts recorded in the "Ink Book", but how could he do this?

The difficulty of obtaining skills and texts is the mark that distinguishes nobles from lowly people. How can they be taught without any reward or examination? (End of this chapter)
