Cheng Tianle smiled when he heard this: "The Great Elder doesn't have to explain this to me, in fact, I met the car halfway through, and followed it all the way to the bridge, I saw the cause and effect clearly, and I was not interested in paying attention to anything, I believe that this kind of thing is nothing to Wuling Township." …… But I once heard the people in the car chatting, mentioning that the local people are open, presumably there is a misunderstanding by people outside the mountain, what is going on? ”

In his mind, he relayed to Yun Chongmo the conversation between Secretary Wang and the driver that he heard on the road, and the driver Lao Li said that all the girls in Wuling Township were beautiful, and it was certainly not uncommon for the female monsters to be beautiful. But the driver Lao Li also mentioned that the folk customs here are quite open, and many girls have children without getting married, some are born locally, and some are born from outside, and there is no trouble.

Yun Chongmo also smiled, and made an explanation in his thoughts. Although Wuling Township seems to be a personal village, its inhabitants are all monsters after all, and those monsters must have a legitimate origin when they turn into humans. There are more than 600 registered residents here, but in fact, the real number is only more than 400, and there are more than 200 people who are not at all in reality, and only zài is stored in the household registration file of Wuling Township.

In other words, Cheng Tianle saw less than 300 demon cultivators here, and in fact, there were only more than 100 residents of Wuling Township who moved to other places or traveled abroad. The residents here were all demon beasts that were brought back, and of course the real relationship would not be like the family lineage written in the household registration file, which was just for the outside world to see.

From time to time, the Wuling Township Association will fabricate a batch of birth certificates and household registrations that do not exist in the family, according to the maximum extent allowed by the family planning policy, so as to keep them for future use. For example, the township government had prepared a new birth certificate and a new identity for Yun Chongmo last year. Of course, Yun Chongmo doesn't need it now. But in a few decades it will be ready for use, and everything should be prepared in advance.

As they spoke, they had already walked out of the village, and were greeted by rolling hills and verdant trees, dotted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. Cheng Tianle suddenly sensed that Township Chief Yun was casting a spell. It was a unique induction spell, and then I saw the great elder take a step, but he didn't enter the mountain forest, and the person seemed to have turned into a phantom 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 at the edge of the village, and its portal is not far from the small building where Cheng Tianle has lived in the past few days, and the backyard door is directly facing here, just a few steps away. But if Yun Chong didn't open it for Cheng Tianle, he wouldn't be able to see it close at hand.

Personally passing through the portal of the Demon King's secret realm, Cheng Tianle understood what kind of place this was. Although it is not the Little Kunlun Cave Heavenly Enchantment, its separation boundary from the outside world has the characteristics of the Little Kunlun Enchantment, which is built by some kind of space-shifting and supernatural technique. In a sense, this Demon King Secret Realm seems to be a half-built small Kunlun Cave Heaven.

After this step. Yun Chongmo's figure suddenly turned into a phantom and really appeared in front of him. The Great Elder explained, "I think that there were ten demon kings who assisted the Zhengyi Patriarch in digging and building the Zhengyi Three Mountains. They built a spatial barrier that was separated from the outside world, and later tried their skills here, leaving behind this secret realm of the demon king. ”

When Yun Chongmo spoke. Cheng Tianle was looking around, his expression was very shocked. Because he saw a well-preserved Tang Dynasty architectural complex. If Luo Kedi, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Transformations Sect and a well-known expert in object identification and archaeology, came here, he would probably scream in shock. On the half-high slope surrounded by a valley, there are dozens of neat old buildings, like another village or manor.

The houses here are not as messy as the outside, some are grand and solemn, some are elegant and light, they are palace garden-style buildings, completely Tang Dynasty ancient style, and they are built by the most exquisite craftsmanship of that era. The buildings of various colors are arranged in order, and there is a colorful stone avenue in the center that passes through it, leading to a large hall.

Yun Chongmo pointed to the big hall and said, "That is the place where we worship and worship the ancestors, and this secret realm of the demon king is also the retreat and cultivation place for the demon cultivators here on weekdays." There is no one else here at the moment, all the members of the Presbyterian Church, except for me, who are in the meeting room of the township government. ”

If you don't look at the palace and this classical manor-like complex, the scenery here is no different from the outside world, and if you accidentally pass through the portal, you won't even realize that you have entered the secret realm of the demon king that you have not discovered before. You can't see this place from the outside, but you can see the outside world clearly here, and when you look back, you can still see the village where Wuling Township is located, as if there is no barrier.

Cheng Tianle asked: "Is the building here preserved from the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Yun Chongmo nodded and said: "They are the earliest residences of demon cultivators here, built by the ten demon kings leading the demons from the Kunlun Immortal Realm, and they are not known to the world. As for the village outside, it was gradually built by the demon cultivators of later generations over the millennium, and the secret realm of the demon king has become a place of inheritance. ”

Walk through this ancient manor to the front of the main hall, step up the ten stone steps, and enter the Mingtang-style hall. In the center is a piece of paper several zhang long, and there is no altar in front of it, but a row of screens, a total of ten. There is a painting painted on each screen, and there is an inscription next to a person in each painting, which is the top ten demon kings thousands of years ago.

Looking from right to left, there are "Cheng Demon Wang Jianren", "Sun Demon Wang Jianzhi", "Peng Demon Wang Jianye", "Zhang Demon Wang Yongjun", "Yao Demon Wang Shaojie", "Song Demon King Shihong", "Duan Demon Wang Rugang", "Xie Demon Wang Liquan", "Xiao Demon Wang Xiaoming", "Xu Demon Wang Shengzhi".

Cheng Tianle also found an "acquaintance" here. He once saw a stone archway under the peak of the Dharma Pillar of Zhengyi Sanshan, and a couplet was engraved on the stone pillars on both sides: "If the clouds and water are heartless, the world will be rain and dew; The spring stone moves and listens clearly, and enters the mountains and rivers of Kunlun", and the payment is Xu Demon King Shengzhi. But the Xu Demon King painted on the screen is holding a fan in his hand, and a poem is inscribed on the fan, and the fan surface happens to be raised to block his facial features, so that people can't see his appearance clearly.

Cheng Tianle looked at the portraits of the ten demon kings on the screen, and Yun Chongmo sent another divine thought, introducing him to the situation of the ten demon kings. The first three demon kings, with a "see" in their names, are benevolent, wise, and karma, and their original bodies are all green cows, and it is said that they have a great relationship with the Taoist ancestors. Later, the original body of the Zhang Demon King was a wolf, the original body of the Yao Demon King was a weasel, the original body of the Song Demon King was a long-eared rabbit, and the original body of the Duan Demon King was a snake.

As for the Demon King Xie, in fact, he should not be called the Demon King, because this person is not a demon cultivator, and his original body is wisteria, which belongs to the essence of plants and trees. Since he was mixed into the team of the top ten demon kings, he also called himself the demon king. Xiao Demon Wang Xiaoming, who is ranked ninth, was originally a colorful pheasant. As for the tenth demon king Katsuji, the origin of his original body is unknown.

Among the top ten demon kings, only one Yao Demon King Shaojie failed to reincarnate when he ascended, and the remaining nine had all ascended to immortals.

Cheng Tianle was stunned and said, "This last demon king, doesn't he know what the original body is?" ”

Yun Chongmo replied: "Yes, even the original Zhengyi Patriarch didn't see it, and he never revealed his original identity. ”

Cheng Tianle pointed to Xiao Demon King Xiaoming and said, "There are eight demon kings here who are all lifelike, but the last two demon kings can't see what they look like. Although the Xu Demon King did not reveal it, it was just that in the painting, he happened to wave a fan to block his facial features; But what is this Xiao Demon King on his head? ”

Yun Chongmo's expression wanted to laugh, but in order to avoid being disrespectful to the ancestor, he tried his best to hold back, and replied in a somewhat strange tone: "It should be a kimchi jar." ”

I saw that the demon king Xie in the painting couldn't see his facial features clearly, with a kimchi jar-like thing on his head, the bottom of the altar was still broken, and a bird's feather-like crown feather stretched out, wearing colorful clothes, and a few long feathers sticking out from the back of his buttocks. In this solemn hall, why this demon king is such a general image is also explained in Yun Chongmo's divine thoughts.

The painting on this screen was left according to the wishes of the ten demon kings, each with its own reasons and fate, and it is difficult for others to understand the mysteriousness of the intention. This Xiao Demon King Xiaoming was the most witty and naughty of the top ten demon kings of the year. He once dressed up like this on Fengyi Mountain on the outskirts of Wucheng, calling himself Phoenix Daxian and igniting a pair of cultivators. Later, in this demon king hall, he left such a screen.

Yun Chongmo also answered Cheng Tianle's first question, which was the demon cultivation inheritance here. After each demon beast is brought to Wuling Township, the Council of Elders will leave a divine mind seal to guide the demon that has opened the spiritual wisdom to cultivate on its own, and they usually get along with the demons in Wuling Township and learn all kinds of worldly things. If a demon beast turns into a human form, it will be brought into the secret realm and brought to this demon king's hall.

This demon cultivator can choose which demon king to worship to, and Wuling Township has its own set of secret rituals, so that he can get the inheritance guidance left by this demon king. This inheritance ceremony is also the process of receiving ordination, and the demon cultivator must make an oath of demons, follow the guidance, protect the inheritance, and if he leaves this place and enters the world in the future, he must also abide by the inheritance precepts of Wuling Township.

There is only one chance for ordinary demon cultivators here to enter the secret realm of the demon king, and that is when they turn into human form. If you can achieve the Great Success, there will be a second chance to get the inheritance, and then go to worship in front of the portrait of the demon king back then, and according to the specific rituals, you will get the guidance of the cultivation after the Great Completion. There is a secret transmission in the Divine Mind Heart Seal, so you know that the method of opening the door can freely enter and exit the secret realm, and you can choose a place to live and retreat here, and you will naturally become a member of the local elders.

The more Cheng Tianle listened, the more surprised and curious he became, and asked, "May I ask the Great Elder, you also got the inheritance here, and which Demon King predecessor did you choose back then?" ”
