Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 445 Layers of Decryption

Captain Peng’s knot lies in the fact that Ma Yi’ao’s master, Wang Chao’an, and his leader, Empress Tian, ​​have come together, and they have put us two irrelevant people into the scientific expedition team, making Captain Peng misunderstand. They thought we were superior by virtue of relationships.

Although Captain Peng is a general under Empress Tian's command, he has a temper and hates such things, which is why he showed such strong distrust and alienation before.

However, all prejudices disappeared with Ma Yi'ao and I's excellent performance just now.

Captain Peng is a more pragmatic person. Although he has airs, he still judges people. When he realized the role of Ma Yi'ao and me, he calmed down and communicated with us seriously.

After chatting for a few words, I couldn't help asking: "Captain Peng, is this far from the location of the White Tiger Secret Realm? When will we be able to arrive?"

After I finished speaking, I was afraid that he might misunderstand, so I quickly explained: "I was thinking, if these people are in the Kunlun Mountains, if they are close, they might be the descendants of the tomb guards in the White Tiger Secret Realm..."

Ma Yi'ao also said beside him: "Hou Mo has experienced Baxia Secret Realm, Zhangsu Secret Realm and Yujiang Secret Realm, and he is somewhat qualified to speak about these places."

Captain Peng heard it, pondered for a while, and then said: "Speaking of which, although the White Tiger back then was as famous as the other great sages of the monster race, its mind was more special and had its own opinions, so the White Tiger Secret Realm is better than others. There may be many differences in other places. In fact, I was skeptical about the situation you raised before, so I entered into the investigation, but it is basically confirmed, it should not be."

Later, he answered our question: "If we walk for another day, we should be able to arrive, but the specific location needs to be judged by Mr. Zhang."

Ma Yi'ao was a little strange and asked, "How do you know that these people are not?"

Captain Peng thought for a while, and continued to answer without hiding anything: "Do you know the top powerhouses among the Night Walkers today, that is, the legendary Six Heavenly Kings?"

Ma Yi'ao said he had heard something about it.

I was confused, what are the six heavenly kings?I've heard of the four heavenly kings of Hong Kong and Taiwan, such as Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung...

Hearing my nonsense, Ma Yi'ao couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said Captain Peng was talking about a few nightwalkers who had been famous for a long time in the Jianghu. The Great Sage of Pingtian on the top of Mount Tai, the Great Sage of Overturning the Sea on Hu Jianlu Island, the Great Sage of Moving Mountains in Kunlun Echo Valley, the Great Sage of Exorcism in Ailao Mountain in southern Yunnan, the Great Sage of Heaven in Changbai Mountain in Northeast China, and the farewell of Miaojiang The Ventilation Saint of the island, these six people are the most famous top powerhouses among the night walkers, the top figures who have dominated for decades-among the night walkers, there may be other demon kings, but the most famous one back then , is these six people.

I heard, a little surprised, that this is the first time I've heard you talk about it.

Ma Yi'ao laughed, saying that these people are all old antiques from decades ago, they haven't appeared in the world for many years, and they don't know if they are dead or not, it's okay, who will mention it?

I went through the six people in my mind, and suddenly said with some surprise: "Oh my god, these names sound quite familiar."

Ma Yi'ao said that you have read "Journey to the West" more than a dozen times, and you claim to have "recited it backwards", haven't you remembered it?
With his reminder, I finally remembered.

In "Journey to the West", when Monkey King visited the heroes in Huaguo Mountain, he met the six demon kings including the Bull Demon King, and the seven became brothers.Later, Sun Wukong made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace and called himself "Monkey King of the Heaven". The Sacred Lion Camel King, the Ventilation Great Sage Macaque King, the God-Expelling Great Sage Yu Tamarin King, and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven Monkey King.

Among the seven great demons, Sun Wukong is ranked seventh, he is a real junior, while the other six people all have backgrounds, and they are all the first-class mountain overlords in Dongsheng Shenzhou.

And the names of these people are exactly the same as the "Six Heavenly Kings" nickname that Ma Yi'ao mentioned just now.

I was a little confused, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then why not the Seven Heavenly Kings? Where is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"

Ma Yi'ao punched my chest and said, "Isn't this all waiting for you?"

I couldn't help laughing.

Indeed, with the blood of the "Lingming Stone Monkey", didn't I just go for the title of "Monkey King Equaling Heaven"?
I said that this worldly thing is really a coincidence, but then again, is the real appearance of the six night walkers the same as that in the book?
Ma Yi'ao said, "If it's different, would they dare to call it?"

I still think it was a coincidence, but Ma Yi'ao turned around and said to Captain Peng: "I see, you are sure, the village just now is the legendary Kunlun Echo Valley, and the leader of those people, Bai The Lion King is the famous Great Sage Yishan?"

Captain Peng nodded, and he was right. When we were on the road just now, I discussed with Mr. Zhang for a long time, and felt that apart from Yishan Dasheng's cottage, there really couldn't be so many night walkers in other places.

Ma Yi'ao murmured, saying that, we might have gone astray and happened to come across the cottage of the Great Sage Yishan.

Captain Peng said yes, and I can only explain it in this way—well, the six heavenly kings are both good and evil, and have great influence, but they have not appeared in the arena for a long time. , and ignore it.However, this time when this incident happened, I don't know what happened behind it, maybe it will be a bloodbath again.

I was confused, but I still maintained the basic logic. I can’t say it right. If it is really the big guy who established the realm of the demon king decades ago, why did he not show up when there was such a commotion just now? Woolen cloth?

Captain Peng shook his head, saying that we couldn't figure it out either, maybe we had traveled far away, maybe we were in retreat, maybe something happened, in short, we just couldn't get out.

There was an inexplicable fight, and he was also at a loss.

Especially why those night walkers are so hostile to us, and they seem to have planned it, this matter is really puzzling.

Ma Yi'ao pondered for a while, ignored the matter, and asked another question.

That is the "Hell Yaechi World" that we have been caring about and thinking about.

What exactly is this?
Up to now, Captain Peng can't hide it, and said to us: "Presumably you should also know that under Kunlun Mountain, the source of the world's evil spirits is suppressed. Woe to the world, I just settled here to practice in this bitter cold place, but the eightfold cold world of hell is the lair when the evil spirits leaked out and the demons danced together. It’s gone, but it’s easy to break out if it’s blocked by force, so an area is left here as a place where the two worlds interact..."

"The so-called Eightfold Cold Realm are 'True, False, Flying, Falling, Coming, Going, Life, and Death', which represent different illusions and coldness. This kind of place is like hell—it has a great reputation in the industry. , There are various names, but what is certain is that very few people who go in can come back alive.”

Hearing his eloquence, Ma Yi'ao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "To go to the White Tiger Secret Realm, you have to go through the Eightfold Cold Realm of Hell, right?"

Captain Peng nodded and said yes, if it wasn't for that, we wouldn't beg grandpa to sue grandma and ask people from Xuefeng Temple for help.

Ma Yi'ao asked: "Can the subduing magic pestle in the hands of the little monk avoid all kinds of negative effects in the eightfold cold world of hell?"

Captain Peng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know. Teacher Zhang said yes, but whether it works or not depends on the final result. Regarding these, Teacher Zhang has his own rules, and I am only responsible for the management of the team and the overall direction. control."

Ma Yi'ao said that this matter is not absolute, the more dangerous the place, the easier it is to have opportunities--I heard that throughout the ages, the only person who has refined the elixir of life is the Queen Mother of the West who lived in Kunlun during the prehistoric period, and the Queen Mother of the West The alchemy furnace cauldron, but it was placed in the eightfold cold world of hell, right?

Captain Peng smiled and said that if you are talking about myths and legends, there is no problem, but if it is the history of our practice, then I can tell you with certainty that throughout the ages, no one can live forever, but they live longer That's all, but the means and ways to prolong life are not without it. In ancient times, there was the elixir of the Queen Mother of the West, and later there was the elixir of alchemy produced by the peak alchemists in the Qin Dynasty...

Ma Yi'ao frowned, and said Xu Fuzhi said, is it true?
Captain Peng said with a half-smile, "I really want to tell you the truth, but it's confidential and I don't have the authority to tell you."

After finishing speaking, he saw two people coming from the entrance of the cave, but it was Teacher Zhang and her doctoral student Huang Xueer, so he shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems that Teacher Zhang still has something to do with you, I'll go and see it first." Look at everyone, you are too tired today, remember to go to rest when the time comes, and I have to ask you to take care of me tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he left, and Teacher Zhang Jie and Huang Xueer came to us after greeting him.

On the way, Teacher Zhang had already expressed his thanks to Ma Yi'ao, so what are you doing here now?
After all, she is one of the Big Three of the scientific expedition team. If Captain Peng said that she will arrive tomorrow night, there must be a lot of things to do, so there is no need to waste time, right?
I didn't quite understand, but at this time, Teacher Zhang and Huang Xueer had already approached us and greeted us.

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, Ma Yi'ao saw that the two seemed to have something to do but hesitated, so he pushed them away and said, "What can you do with me?"

Teacher Zhang didn't speak, but after Huang Xueer hesitated for a while, he finally asked: "Comrade Ma, I want to know, are you the legendary dragon and phoenix, golden cicada physique?"
