Chapter 247: Mystery
"Demon capital is a free place, but it is also a place with strict hierarchies. ”
"Is it strict?"
"Don't you think it's strict?"
"I didn't feel it much. ”
"Then why can't you even enter the demon before?"
When Ao heard this, the monkey was stunned for a moment, and when he thought about it, he could only laugh awkwardly.
Indeed, until he received the holy decree of Emperor Jun, it was nothing. And after receiving the summoned decree, the Lion Camel King, who was eager to chew him up, was even afraid that he would die.
That's the hierarchy.
After a pause, Ao Tingxin continued: "The multi-eyed prime minister and the six demon kings are all second only to the existence of the demon emperor Jun. It is almost impossible to investigate their past within the scope of the demon kingdom. The more people who know more, the less they dare to talk about it. Even the Tamarin King, who is now in prison, is the same. ”
"So, I can't check the matter of the Macaque King?"
"No, you can. Didn't you just say that? If you want to check within the demon country, it's impossible. But if you go to Heaven to check, you can. ”
"Heavenly Court, Heavenly Court has their past?"
"Of course. Ao Tingxin smiled and said: "'Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles'." This sentence is understood by people, demons, and immortals, and naturally understands. The most important thing is that the history of Heavenly Court is as long as that of the Demon Kingdom. In the end, the information about the demon country officials was locked in a cabinet in the demon kingdom, and in the heavenly court, but anyone could read it. ”
"But, I can't go to Heavenly Court. Can you help me look it up?"
"No need to go. ”
"What do you mean. ”
Ao Tingxin smiled meaningfully and said: "The phrase 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning a hundred battles' is not only understood by people, demons, immortals, but also by the dragon clan. Before I accepted the dragon trade in charge, I had already gone through the classics of the Six Demon Kings and the Multi-Eyed Prime Minister in the Heavenly Court. ”
The monkey's brows furrowed, and he looked at Ao Tingxin blankly.
"Let me tell you about the macaque king's past. Ao Tingxin sighed lightly: "His true appearance is a jade monkey." ”
"Follow me, stone monkey......"
"You're a stone avatar, so you're called a stone monkey. He is a jade stone shape, so he is called a jade monkey. Essentially, they are all a kind of spirit demons. According to the classics, the characteristic of the stone monkey is the heart of stone. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know, that's how it was written. ”
"What about the jade monkey?"
"There is no record of the jade monkey. Throughout the ages, there has been a spirit demon called the macaque king, and who can take the macaque king to study it in detail? Therefore, the record of the jade monkey in the classics is just a hasty stroke, mentioning that there is such a spirit demon. Others, nothing. ”
Frowning and thinking about it, the monkey said, "Then isn't his qualification better than mine?"
"Scarcity is not necessarily related to qualifications. Ao Tingxin corrected: "The qualifications of the macaque king are all over the world, and I am afraid that only he knows it." What is recorded in the classics is something that actually happened, that is, the life of the macaque king. ”
"What is that?" asked the monkey.
Clearing his throat, Ao Tingxin paced and said softly: "We all know that demons have a history of 10,000 years. Specifically, it is actually 13031 years. In the earliest days, there were only demon emperors and multi-eyed prime ministers. None of the demon kings known now followed Di Jun from the beginning. ”
"When the Demon Emperor Jun established the Demon Capital, the five Demon Kings were still warlords entrenched in various parts of the mortal world, and they fought with each other. With the Heavenly Court, which already had a rudimentary form at that time, it was also at war from time to time. ”
"Wait. The monkey interrupted, "Five?"
"Yes, five. There is no macaque king. Ao Tingxin continued: "When the demon capital was established, no one in this world knew about the existence of the Macaque King. At least in Heavenly Court's list, there is no him. At that time, Emperor Jun wanted to conquer only the other five demon kings, not including the macaque king. ”
However, when the Demon Emperor Jun conquered the other five Demon Kings, the Macaque King appeared. ”
"Unlike other demon kings. The reason why the other demon kings surrendered was either because they were conscripted by the demon capital and became defeated by their subordinates. Either it was forced by the deterrence of the Demon Emperor Jun. At least, that's what I see in the books preserved in Heavenly Court. This process took more than 300 years. Dijun successfully unified the demon clan at the lowest possible cost. ”
However, at this time, the macaque king, who was not on the roster, appeared. The other demon kings all have old departments and have their own original territories, but the macaque king does not. He came to the demon capital alone, took the initiative to attract the attention of the demon emperor Jun, and after proving that he had the qualifications of a demon king, he offered to take refuge. ”
"That's all right...... The monkeys were a little surprised.
Ao Tingxin nodded.
"What about before, where was he before he took refuge, and what was he doing?"
Ao Tingxin slowly shook his head and said, "There is no one in the classics." Not only did he not, but according to the texts, he was truly alone. All the subordinates were re-recruited after coming to the demon capital. Before that, there was no past. It's like it appeared out of nowhere. ”
That sounds like ...... There are a lot of doubts.
The monkey frowned and said, "Could it be that he practiced somewhere, and he went up to cultivate, just out of the mountain." And then it was so coincidental that His Majesty had established the demon capital and unified the demon clan, so he simply came over to take refuge? Aren't there many people who like to stay in the mountains and practice? Stay in the mountains, naturally no one will know about him. ”
Hearing this, Ao Tingxin just laughed and looked at the monkey with a smile.
"Do you think it's possible?"
"Is it impossible?" asked the monkey rhetorically.
"What about your qualifications?"
Without thinking, the monkey replied, "Very well." ”
As he spoke, he gave himself a thumbs up.
Ao Tingxin asked casually, "Then before you came to the demon capital, didn't you know anyone?"
"This ......" The monkey hesitated, and could only blink at Ao Tingxin.
After a pause, Ao Tingxin continued: "No matter how good the qualifications are, you must have exercises and pills. Someone has to teach the exercises. The elixir has to have a source. Even if he himself understands alchemy, he has to travel through the Three Realms to gather the materials for alchemy. You must know that before that, our dragons had not taken over the trade of the Three Realms. It is possible for a youkai, or a person, to cultivate in a very short period of time because of his good qualifications. But that has to be backed by, and it can't just come out of nowhere. And the macaque king appeared out of thin air. ”
The monkey listened blankly, and after a while he came to his senses, he snorted helplessly: "I thought I was the only one who was confused, but it seems that everyone is confused about the macaque king." He was an enigma. ”
"The Macaque King has always been a mystery, but he is also different from other demon kings. After so many years, he has not formed an army like other demon kings, and he is not keen on fighting for power and profit in the court. Basically, he's just a rich idler. Is it a mystery or not, and what does it matter? No one cares. ”
The monkey laughed and said, "Can I say they're all blind?"
"What do you mean? ”
"It's just ......," the monkey opened his mouth, but finally did not speak. After all, as far as he is concerned, everything about the Macaque King is just speculation, and it is not as accurate as what Ao Tingxin just said, and what is recorded in the classics of the Heavenly Court. As for what Su Bodhi said, Xuanye was taken captive by the macaque king...... That's even more inexplicable. After thinking about it, the monkey could only sigh and say, "It's nothing, I just think he's special." After all, in a place like the demon capital, there is such a demon king, which is indeed quite weird. So I just want to know about it. ”
The monkey's eyes flickered, and Ao Tingxin seemed to understand something, frowning slightly, but he didn't say much.
......
"The Demon King who appeared out of thin air...... Needless to say, there must be something wrong with this. ”
"Take the initiative to run to the demon capital to take refuge, but you don't build your own army, control the real power, just blindly enjoy yourself. What is this trying to do?"
"If Genye was really taken captive by him, where would he be hidden?"
"Ah——! where the hell should I start?"
On the way back, sitting in the carriage, the monkey's scalp was about to be scratched, but he still didn't have a clue.
"Or, let the hydra keep an eye on the macaque king? ”
At this moment, a name flashed in the monkey's mind - Yu Tamarin King.
