Calming down, Li Wei released a scout and looked south for the ape.

Although Huaguo Mountain itself is in the sea, it is very wide, which can be called a mountain range, and the original seventy-two cave demon kings lived here.

However, Li Wei's subordinates searched for more than ten minutes, but they did not see a single creature.

Erlang Soushan is a very famous painting subject in ancient times, and Wu Chengen wrote poems for "Erlang Soushan Map".

But Li Wei only realized today how bloody this painting was.

Now, it's time for the Animal Protection Association to ask for the death penalty of Jirojin.

"Master, I found the tiger Ah Da." Superdust finally flew back.

"Ah?" Li Wei was surprised.

Isn't Ah Da the tiger that Sun Wukong was bored at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain and raised?

"Take me!" The stone in Li Wei's heart fell halfway.

All the way to the south, I saw that Na Ah Da was waiting for Li Wei in the same place.

The tiger nodded to Li Wei, and then led the way.

Li Wei wanted to ask it, but the tiger couldn't speak.

Soon, the sound of water was heard.

After walking a little further, a huge waterfall appears in front of you.

"It's supposed to be the Water Curtain Cave." Li Wei took a long breath and looked around, finally there was some green grass and trees.

It seems that Sun Wukong only made some greenery near the Water Curtain Cave.

However, it is obvious that even if this small area wants to restore to the fairyland it was before it was sacked by the Heavenly Court, it will not be possible to do it in a short time.

When I walked to the waterfall, I saw a flag that read, "Rebuild Huaguo Mountain and renovate the water curtain cave." Monkey King".

It seems that it is still according to the original plot.

The tiger jumped into the water curtain, but Li Wei was more particular, afraid of being washed away by the water, so he first used a "broken water flow" to stop the waterfall, and then flew in calmly.

Passing by the legendary iron plate bridge, a group of old monkeys and little monkeys greeted them and looked at Li Wei curiously.

Whether it is the main plot or the dungeon, Li Wei has long been used to being ignored by NPCs, and suddenly being stared at by so many monkeys is really a little unaccustomed.

It seems that my identity this time is a bit special.

"Ahem, I'm a friend of Monkey King, huh, or is it the monkey hair on my body that plays a role? Well, where is the Great Sage? Li Wei said with a smile.

"Our king is chasing Guanyin outside, and he only comes back once a month." An old monkey in armor replied.

Li Wei saluted the old monkey: "But Marshal Ma Liu? ”

"Yes, yes, you can recognize me at a glance." The old monkey was overjoyed.

Li Wei saluted the other three armor-piercing old monkeys.

The four spirit monkeys in Huaguo Mountain, the two Akajiri horse monkeys are called "Ma Liu II General", and the two gibbon monkeys are called "Bangba Two Marshals", and some people may have separated them in the past, thinking that they are Ma General, Liu General and the like.

In fact, after Sun Wukong came back from the Bodhi Patriarch, he said, "We all have a surname", that is, a litter of grandchildren, a national grandson, so the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain are all surnamed Sun.

"Maliu" and "Bangba" should refer to the varieties of the four strong generals respectively.

Ma Liu mentioned it earlier when he talked about "Ma Liu", which may come from an ethnic minority in Lingnan, and the pronunciation of the word "Bangba" has been studied by some scholars, and some sources can be found in Sanskrit, Mongolian, and Tibetan languages.

In fact, there are many names for monkeys in ancient books, why did the author deliberately raise the "Chijiri horse monkey" and "gibbon monkey" to a higher level, not only the strongest four monkeys in Huaguo Mountain except Sun Wukong, but also specifically mentioned by Rulai, among the four spirit monkeys in heaven and earth.

The gibbon monkey is easy to say, and the white ape who is said to be the sword against the Yue Nu belongs to the gibbon, while the horse monkey is relatively unpopular.

According to the explanation of some ancient books, there is actually an evolutionary process from "macaque" to "female monkey" and then to "horse monkey".

So horse monkeys are macaques.

Interestingly, in the Yuan miscellaneous drama "The Marriage of the Two Worlds of Yuxiao Girl", there is a tune: "Rub a red cheek like a red horse monkey." With two black claws, he looks like a gibbon. ”

The author of Journey to the West is a fan of miscellaneous dramas, which can be seen from many places in the novel, perhaps the inspiration of the four athletes comes from this lyrics.

Li Wei wanted to chat with the four generals for a while, but their intelligence didn't seem to be particularly high, and soon there were no new words.

The task pops up in front of you: "Help the apes of Huaguo Mountain defend against the hunters." ”

"The last time the Great Sage came back, didn't he wipe out those hunters?" Li Wei asked.

The four generals did not speak again.

Li Wei made up for it, and it was not clearly said in the original book that Sun Wukong killed all the hunters, maybe there were fish that slipped through the net, or there was more than one group of hunters.

Huaguo Mountain is in the middle of the sea, and there are no people around, so the hunters should have come by boat from other places, perhaps from different regions.

These hunters hunt monkeys, and at the same time catch some monkeys and sell them to charlatans to play monkey shows, a bit like slave hunters in the colonial period.

At this time, the fierce tiger roared, as if reminding Li Wei: "The Great Sage is not irresponsible, didn't he leave me behind?" ”

"Alright, scouts, set out again, this time searching for Orion, and at the same time look at the sea, and notify me if a ship is coming." Li Wei commanded.

The arrangements are in place, and now Li Wei has nothing to do, so he will visit the Water Curtain Cave.

It's strange to say, Sun Wukong moved back so many weapons from Aolai Country and other places, but the daily necessities in the cave are still stone bowls and stone pots.

Journey to the West lovers, one of the favorite questions to discuss: "Who was the owner of the Water Curtain Cave before?" ”

No wonder everyone is curious, because a good cave blessed land, why is it empty and cheap these monkeys?

If it's just a stone bowl, a stone pot, a stone bed, a stone stove or something, it can also be explained that someone lived in the Paleolithic Age.

But there is clearly a stone pillar left in the cave: "Huaguo Mountain Cave Sky, Water Curtain Cave Blessed Land".

Obviously, this was once a cave for the gods.

Modern online novels, including earlier martial arts novels, often have protagonists who discover the cave of the immortal predecessors in the barren mountains and get the secret elixir divine soldier or something, in fact, they should all be influenced by Journey to the West.

People who play Journey to the West conspiracy theories have dug up a lot of "former owners" of the Water Curtain Cave, Lao Jun, Dragon King, Bodhi, Zhen Yuanzi or something, and summed up a bunch of theories, which is also fun.

The "experts" who compete for local tourism resources are committed to finding the prototype of Huaguo Mountain, Mount Tai, Laoshan Mountain, Yuntai Mountain, etc.

In fact, Li Wei thinks that it's not so complicated, since the author of Journey to the West is a fan of miscellaneous dramas, he won't have watched "Pang Juan Walking on Maling Road at Night", which said that Guiguzi lives in the Water Curtain Cave.

Now the place names of the water curtain caves in various places, most of them were influenced by the legend of Guiguzi before the Ming Dynasty, and the ones after the Ming Dynasty were influenced by the Journey to the West.

The Water Curtain Cave in "Journey to the West" is overseas, of course, it is not the place where Guiguzi lives in the miscellaneous drama, but it is not excluded that Guiguzi has always liked to name his cave as the Water Curtain Cave, which is just one of his former residences.

It doesn't matter who has lived in it, anyway, Li Wei searched around, but he didn't find any treasures left by the immortals in the cave, and the walls were not carved with heavenly books like Baiyun Cave.

So, there's no conspiracy at all.

The owner of the cave, or an ordinary earth immortal, has now ascended to the heavenly realm.

Dongsheng Shenzhou, ten continents and three islands, there are many scattered cultivations, this is not the creation of online novels, but such a legend since ancient times.

There was no oil and water in the cave, and before his subordinates could find the hunter, Li Wei walked out of the door and flew north.

Before Li Wei fell into Huaguo Mountain, he asked his subordinates to search south, because the Water Curtain Cave in the original book was at the southern end of Huaguo Mountain.

Including the hunters who want to catch monkeys, they should also land from the south.

So, what's up to the north?

Li Wei has been flying for ten minutes, looking from afar, and he can't see the end in front of him.

"The island where Huaguo Mountain is located is really big enough." Li Wei sighed.

If he flies again, when the hunter comes, Li Wei won't be able to go back to help.

"Huh?" Li Wei was about to go back, when his eyes were suddenly attracted by a high mountain.

"In the original book, the Monkey King didn't know where the Demon King of the Mixed World was, but when he saw a steep mountain, he found the Demon King." Li Wei flew towards the peak.

When I got closer, I saw a stream in the mountains and a dark cave next to it.

Li Wei walked over and saw the words "Water Dirty Hole" carved in stone on the door of the cave.

"Luckily, I found it." Li Wei said with a smile.

Zhen Yuanzi said that he only had one chance, and he might not be able to come to Huaguo Mountain again in the future, so he couldn't let go of the "scenic spots" that he should go.

In Journey to the West, the Demon King of the Mixed World is the first opponent of Sun Wukong in the true sense, and he is also the first monster to be killed.

However, I'm afraid that few Journey to the West enthusiasts are too interested in him.

Because the process of this guy fighting Sun Wukong is too short, it doesn't seem to pose any threat to Brother Monkey, and Sun Wukong hasn't gotten the golden hoop stick at this time, so he is empty-handed.

gives the impression that this is the weakest of the bosses with names in the novel.

But if you really want to take a closer look at the original book, you will find that the Demon King of the Mixed World is not weak.

Sun Wukong fought fiercely with the Demon King, and in the end, he had to "look at his fierceness", and had to incarnate outside his body and conjure up three hundred little monkeys to achieve victory.

On the way to learn the scriptures, there are really few people who are worthy of Sun Wukong to use the incarnation outside the body, and once he uses the spell of turning into a monkey, even 100,000 heavenly soldiers, the five heavenly kings and Nezha have been retreated, you can imagine the power of this move.

In fact, for Li Wei, the Demon King of the Mixed World has always been mysterious and powerful.

Because he's seen too many demon kings of the world.

The demon king of the mixed world in "Speaking of Tang" is the most famous, Cheng bites gold.

In "Water Margin", of course, it is Fan Rui, the demon king of the mixed world.

"The Romance of the Seventy-two Dynasties", "The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", "The Complete Biography of Yue", "Dream of Red Mansions", these novels of the Ming and Qing dynasties invariably use the "demon king of the mixed world" to describe the devil.

Well, in the dream of Red Mansions, it was Mrs. Wang who jokingly described Jia Baoyu.

Obviously, for the people of that era, the Demon King of the Mixed World was definitely very famous, and the authors of these novels were not influenced by Journey to the West, and did not regard the Demon King of the Mixed World as a small miscellaneous fish.

It's a pity that the details of the story of the Demon King of the Mixed World have been lost.

The only thing that has a little record of the Demon King of the Mixed World is the strange book - "The Legend of the Three Treasure Eunuchs in the West".

In the Western Chronicles, the Demon King of the Mixed World is mentioned many times, and there is a sentence "The Demon King of the Mixed World who has passed the seventy-two changes".

Look, the author didn't mention Sun Wukong, but used the Demon King of the Mixed World as the representative of the seventy-two changes, what is this concept?

The focus is on this paragraph: "The Nine Heavens Xuannu and the Demon King of the Mixed World fought on the Exhaustion Mountain, and there was no winner or loser for seven days and seven nights. The demon king is ever-changing, and the Xuannu can't help it......"

A boss of the same level as the Nine Heavens Xuannu!

Therefore, it makes sense that all kinds of previous works favored the Demon King of the Mixed World.

This guy is not a generic noun such as a strong ghost king, a one-horned ghost king, or a golden armor god general, but a proper noun.

Sun Wukong was the first to kill the sacrificial flag when he came out of the mountain, and it was not a small role.

Li Wei slowly walked to the cave door, and glanced at the stream next to him by the way, and it was really a little dirty.

Some people think that this "water dirty" represents the kidneys, which is also a bit interesting, but this association, like this black cave, will only make people feel uncomfortable.

Li Wei took out the Night Pearl and walked into the cave.

No one would deliberately live in a dirty hole, the hole is so dark, mainly because it was set on fire by Sun Wukong before.

"Woo, after so many years, I finally smell the smell of the living!" A muffled voice rang out.

"What?" Li Wei was taken aback, his whole body was numb, and he hurriedly retreated.

It's so sudden! I'm just a tourist!

"My food, don't run!" The voice suddenly became louder, and the wind howled in the cave.

"All of you!" Li Wei didn't have time to get on the horse, he was afraid that he would be killed by the other party in seconds if he turned around.

"Shining in gold!" The purple-footed Arhat didn't wait for Li Wei's command at all, and he had already released his big move.

"Ahh I hate this light! There was a muffled grunt from the other side.

Li Wei saw clearly through the golden light that it was a strong man in black armor, more than two meters in size.

"Fortunately, it's not the Demon King of the Mixed World, the Demon King in the original book is three feet tall." Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you know the name of this king?" The black armor will be unexpectedly authentic.

"No, you're the Demon King of the Mixed World, didn't Sun Wukong beat you to death?" Li Wei was stunned.

"This king came into being, even the Nine Heavens Xuannu can't kill me, let alone that monkey." The Black Armor General snorted, "I'm usually just hibernating, waiting for the troubled times to come out of the mountain!" ”

Only then did Li Wei react: "In other words, you are the embodiment of the evil qi between heaven and earth?" ”

"It's the embodiment of chaos!" The black armor will pat his chest, "I am the chaotic qi of the beginning of heaven and earth!" ”

At this time, Li Wei's subordinates were already fighting with the black armor generals.

Speaking of which, Li Wei can be regarded as having been fighting for a long time, and his psychological quality has become stronger, so he suddenly encountered the legendary big boss, and he is also known as the monster that was born at the beginning of heaven and earth, and he chose to fight a dozen to try.

Since Sun Wukong was able to kill the Demon King of the Mixed World, then he shouldn't be stronger than the Yellow Robe Monster and the Yellow Wind Monster, right?

In Li Wei's heart, countless possibilities flashed in one second.

However, the facts surprised him.

A bunch of three-digit damage jumped out of the head of the black armor general, and Li Wei's strongest dozen subordinates could all hit four figures!

"Stop, stop, don't beat this guy to death!" Li Wei suddenly remembered something.

"Ah, ah, I've only woken up for more than ten years, and my strength hasn't recovered yet, otherwise how could I be afraid of these miscellaneous pieces!" The black armor will wield a stone knife and scream.

"Hahaha!" Li Wei finally burst out laughing.

Since the Demon King of the Mixed World came into being, there is a cycle.

The earliest Demon King of the Chaos World, since Chaos, has gone through an unknown number of thousands of years, so he is powerful enough to compete with the Nine Heavens Xuannu.

After being eliminated by the Nine Heavens Xuannu, by the time he met Sun Wukong, he had probably grown up for two or three thousand years.

was killed by Sun Wukong to the end of the Sui Dynasty, less than a thousand years, far from becoming a climate, so he could only support Cheng Yanjin to be the demon king of the mixed world for three years.

It has indeed only been more than ten years since Cheng Biting Jin gave way!

"I'm afraid I'm still a baby for a demon like you!" Li Wei smiled while offering the Nine Yin Extinguishing Sin Gourd: "You and the Heavenly Gang of the troubled times should belong to the same type of existence, just give it to me, enter the gourd!" ”――
