Chapter 13 Eavesdropping
By turning over the intelligence provided before his death.
Yan Jing learned that the high-level officials of Zhongshan City had already made a breakthrough in finding the Candle Dragon.
Hundreds of years of tossing and turning have finally allowed these to find the veins hidden in the prophecy.
There are very few people who know about this level of secrets without thinking about it, but Yan Jing's time is limited.
Instead of spending time collecting intelligence layer by layer, it is better to start directly from the three demon kings in one step.
Of course, Yan Jing knew very well that the danger of doing so was extremely high.
His ability is not good at obtaining information, and can only rely on foreign objects or extraordinary items.
The bugging device is a companion product to Yan Jing's pair of high-tech glasses.
Although the quality is only rare, he just pinched the demon cultivators in this world and didn't know this kind of item.
No matter how delicately arranged their barriers, I am afraid that a small metal ball no more than the size of a soybean could hear their conversation.
As long as he remained silent, just eavesdropping on the conversations of several demon kings in the Tianjiao Palace, Yan Jing didn't think that he would be discovered.
Things did turn out as Yan Jing had predicted.
As soon as I went down the mountain along the covered bridge, the voice of the Jiao Demon King came from the earphones.
Yan Jing gave Zhu Xia a look, and the latter immediately understood, and looked around, paying attention to the half-demon soldiers patrolling around him, to make sure that they would not notice Yan Jing's abnormality at this time.
"The prophecy of the snake mother is right, Yuan Gang is not a real Mandate of Heaven...... No, it should be said that he is not yet complete. ”
The voice of the Jiao Demon King sounded in the headphones, and as soon as he came up, he mentioned the previous Mandate of Heaven, Yan Jing raised his eyebrows, and only listened to the headphones and said,
"Yuan Gang made us suffer enough at the beginning, and this time the Mandate of Heaven is probably not a good character."
"So what, we are only one step away from awakening the candle dragon now, nearly a hundred years of planning and preparation, in order to make that bait container, you know how many resources to put in, you can't miss the opportunity!"
This time it was the Peng Demon King who spoke.
There were only three demon kings present in the internal meeting, and they obviously had no sense of secrecy.
Hearing that they were actually only one step away, Yan Jing not only did not feel the crisis, but breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of now was that even the demon king of Zhongshan City had no clue about awakening the candle dragon.
"How's it going?"
Seeing that Yan Jing's face was uncertain, Zhu Xia pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask.
"Keep walking until you're safe."
There were half-demon soldiers guarding not far away, and this place was obviously not suitable for discussing eavesdropping, Yan Jing said in a suppressed voice.
Zhu Xia nodded in understanding and didn't ask any more.
The two of them cooperated with each other to leave the position of the mountain peak and came to the position halfway up the mountain in Zhongshan City.
According to the agreement when they were at the port, they had to rush to Songzhuju, which is located in the middle of the mountainside city, as soon as possible to meet the old turtle.
The city is bustling late at night.
The streets are full of strange-looking monsters coming and going in and out of the street shops, and there are even some humans mixed in, but judging by their simple clothes and tools at hand, it is supposed to be the lowest level of hard labor.
At this time, the conversation in the Tianjiao Palace had ended, and Yan Jing had really obtained a lot of useful information, and he needed to find someone to help him with his staff.
After all, Yan Jing really didn't know much about the situation in Zhongshan City, and he didn't know anything about some of the things that the Demon King mentioned in the conversation.
Zhu Xia's situation is similar.
She has been sleeping in the Peng'an Land Realm for nearly a hundred years, and her impression of Zhongshan City is still stuck in a hundred years ago.
Fortunately, with the identity of the translator, it was still easy for Yan Jing to inquire about a place.
Stopping the passing patrol, I easily learned the location of Songzhuju, and also learned that it was a time-honored tavern, which was famous in Zhongshan City, and was opened by a bamboo demon and a pine tree demon, which was the name of "Songzhuju".
There was a clear address, and Yan Jing and Zhu Xia quickly looked for it.
You can see the signboard of Songzhuju across the small half of the street, and the business seems to be very hot at night.
Yan Jing, who was halfway through, stopped his footsteps and stopped Zhu Xia, who was about to move forward, and did not choose to lean over directly.
There are too many youkai in front of the Shochikuju Gate.
It's hard to guarantee that there won't be a monster who knows the **, if it's really an acquaintance, Yan Jing will have to be exposed after a few words.
After a short period of thought, Yan Jing first asked Zhu Xia to try to contact the old turtle, while he found a remote place to remove the effect of the Spirit Ring.
When he returned to his original position, the old turtle, who was also disguised, was returning with Zhu Xia.
"I've successfully eavesdropped on some information here, what about you, have you contacted the ...... back then? Aspiring demons? ”
Yan Jing motioned for the two of them to lean against the side of the street and asked.
On the way to Zhongshan City, Yan Jing knew through Lao Yuan that it was not only Yuan Gang who tried to save the world
The latter is more like the banner erected by the youkai who rose up to resist at that time to fight against the demon kings of Zhongshan City.
To put it bluntly, there are also guys in the demon clan who don't want to become crazy and evil.
They tried to use Yuan Gang's power to fulfill the prophecy.
It's just that the end result is not satisfactory.
In fact, Zhongshan City's fall into such a depraved appearance is largely related to the heavy casualties of those "aspiring demons".
Yuan Gang's death made many monsters completely lose hope, and then completely sank.
"Luck is not bad, although there are not a few old guys left, but there are still people who are still holding on, follow me."
After the old turtle finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the alley on the side of Songzhuju, but as soon as he took a step, he was held down by Yan Jing's shoulder.
"Can they be trusted?"
Yan Jing's belief in Lao Yuan does not mean that he believes in the latter's friends from a hundred years ago.
You must know that the erosion of evil in Zhongshan City is only slowing down, not nothing!
"Don't worry, I've tested it just now, if they have a problem, you won't be able to see me now."
The old turtle understood Yan Jing's concerns and said in a deep voice.
Speaking of this, Yan Jing didn't say anything more, and followed Lao Yuan along the alleyway to the back door of Songzhu Ju.
When they arrived at the door, the old turtle stepped forward and knocked on the door in a certain rhythm, which should be a code between them.
The door opened, revealing a man and a woman.
It was the shopkeeper of Shochikuju and his wife.
The male figure is slender, wearing a robe embroidered with ink bamboo, and the female is slightly rich and plump.
When the two of them saw Yan Jing for the first time, their expressions suddenly became excited, and the man took a few steps forward and stared at Yan Jing's face,
"Like, it's so similar...... You can't be wrong, you should be the new Destiny Man! ”
Although they had learned about the appearance of the Mandate of Heaven from the mouth of the old turtle just now, seeing Yan Jing's face, which was eight or nine points similar to Yuan Gang, still made them uncontrollable to recall those experiences back then.
Yan Jing was also observing the two in front of him at this time, and through perceiving it, he could determine that the state of these two monsters was better than he imagined, and the erosion of evil energy was much weaker than the monsters he had seen all the way just now.
"The shopkeeper's name is Zhumo, and next to him is his wife, Songyue, when Yuan Gang came to Zhongshan City to find a way to wake up the candle dragon, he got their great help."
The old turtle explained beside him.
"It's just a trivial help, our husband and wife don't even have the ability to go to the battlefield, we can only provide some logistics and intelligence support, and we only hope to help the Destiny of God...... If there's anything you need, you're welcome! ”
As a spirit cultivated as a plant, whether it is Zhumo or Songyue, its combat ability is inevitably low, so in the operation of the year, it was more of a logistics personnel operation.
It is precisely because of this that they survived the great war and even hid in this Zhongshan Castle to this day.
The group entered Songzhuju through the back door, avoided the tavern's welcoming place, and came to the quiet room prepared by Zhumo in advance.
The soundproof barrier was arranged in advance, and there was also a trustworthy demon guarding the door.
Everyone took their seats.
"I left a bugging prop in Tianjiao Palace, and I just happened to hear about the internal meeting of the three demon kings, there are some things I don't understand, and I need you to help me answer."
Picking up the tea and moistening his throat, Yan Jing said bluntly.
That's the main purpose of his visit.
Mo Zhu and Songyue, the two husbands and wives, have been in Zhongshan City all these years, and they have personally experienced the situation that happened and the changes in Zhongshan City over the years, so they undoubtedly know better.
"The Demon King first mentioned the existence of the Snake Mother in the conversation, and they learned through the prophecy of the Snake Mother that the Mandate of Heaven would reappear, so they sent the Demon King to guard the main passes outside Zhongshan City."
Yan Jing took out his glasses from his arms, played the previously recorded conversation, and pressed pause at the key point to ask,
"What is the Mother Snake, the wizard in Zhongshan City?"
You must know that the prophecy about the Mandate of Heaven was handed down by the Shinto hundreds of years ago, and now there are other beings who can see the direction of the future, which makes Yan Jing quite concerned.
This time this time came to this world with the help of the torch, could it be said that this so-called "snake mother" can even predict the behavior of the torch?
The inquiring gaze was on the few people in front of him, but Yan Jing only saw the same confused faces.
"Mother Snake...... There have indeed been many well-known snake demons in Zhongshan City over the years, but if we want to say that they can influence the decisions of the existence of the Jiao Demon King and others, and put forward the existence of the prophecy of the Mandate of Heaven, we really don't know. ”
Over the years, with the fame of Songzhuju, Zhumo has met a lot of monsters, and the intelligence network he has secretly built has helped him obtain a lot of inside information about Zhongshan City, but he has never heard of the information about this snake mother.
"We immediately sent someone to investigate, trying to find out the origin of the snake mother as quickly as possible."
Matsutsuki added next to him.
"No, I think I know where this snake mother came from, you can't find it."
Seeing that Zhumo and Songyue had no relevant information, Yan Jing raised his hand and interrupted,
"Be able to make predictions to the Mandate of Heaven, and then influence the Demon King, so that they can take the initiative to give various instructions...... This snake mother can only be an extraterritorial heavenly demon who now controls this heaven and earth! ”
The voice fell, and the silence fell into silence.
Back then, Yuan Gang made a big alarm in Zhongshan City, until he fought with Jiao, Niu, and Peng, and the blood of the killing was like a river, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain, and he had never seen the extraterritorial heavenly demons suppress it, which made many demons at that time think that the extraterritorial heavenly demons could not come directly, so they were secretly happy.
Accepting the rule of the Demon King, who is also a monster, is better for the monsters to accept than accepting the rule of the unspeakable Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon.
At present, Yan Jing did not shy away from piercing this layer of window paper, which made the hearts of several people present sink.
It's not that they care about who rules Zhongshan City, but they all realize that if they want to change the world, the enemies they face are never the three demon kings, and the extraterritorial heavenly demons hidden behind them!
Yan Jing knew that it was impossible for them to have access to the snake mother due to the location of the pine and bamboo residence, so he did not let them waste their time.
Press the play button.
"The second key point, the Demon King mentioned that Yuan Gang is incomplete Mandate of Heaven, which coincides with our speculation when we came, Yuan Gang's failure does not represent the error of the prophecy, but that he failed to meet the requirements of the Mandate of Heaven in the prophecy!"
Yuan Gang is a man of destiny, but not exactly, he is likely to lack something, just like Yan Jing at this time, paused, raised his hand to open his clothes, revealing his smooth chest,
"I, the Mandate of Heaven, is most likely incomplete, and the dragon-shaped mark mentioned in the prophecy has not appeared, which probably means that my physical body has not met the requirements of the prophecy or awakening the candle dragon."
This was something that Yan Jing had been very concerned about until now.
There is likely to be only one chance to awaken the Candle Dragon, and failure means that the mission is in a desperate situation.
Although the torch did not mention the punishment for failing the mission, Yan Jing knew very well that this conscription mission was about whether he could solve the current lunar crisis, and it was also a test for the torch.
"If I remember correctly, Yuan Gang does have a dragon-shaped mark on his chest, but you want to reach ...... in a short period of time."
Zhumo was halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by Songyue beside him.
"I remember, Yuan Gang once mentioned why his physical body is so strong, he has never deliberately exercised, it is more like a natural ...... Yes, he said that he seemed to be conceived from spirit stones, and we only thought he was amused at the time. ”
Recalling what had happened, Songyue couldn't help but smile helplessly,
"Yuan Gang has always been a noisy character, but now that I think about it, if it weren't for the blessing of heaven and earth, how could he be so strong!"
Being able to become a Mandate of Heaven recognized by this world, Yuan Gang's strong mother is undoubted, but the source of his physical ability is a headache for Yan Jing, after all, it is impossible for him to replicate this process now.
No, that's not right......
The torch could not give an impossible task.
Not to mention the evil hidden in the shadows, the so-called Mother Serpent, who also made a prophecy.
There must be some way to make yourself a Destiny person who can truly awaken the candle dragon.
The glasses on the table were still eavesdropping, and the conversation of the demon kings began to involve the bait traps that had taken a hundred years to make to kill the candle dragon.
Yan Jing leaned back on the chair and fell into deep thought, and then as if thinking of something, he looked up and asked,
"After the end of the great battle caused by Yuan Gang in Zhongshan City, where did his body go, was it destroyed by the demons, or was there another place to go?"
Since Yuan Gang became a Mandate of Heaven in his physical body, then after he was defeated, it is very likely that the demon kings specially kept his physical body in order to study the Mandate of Heaven.
This may be a breakthrough.
