Chapter 0690 The Secret History of the Royal Family
"Why do you think I will extinguish the flames of the Far Desert Peninsula?"
Mu Xingqiu's purpose was very simple. He hoped to find the whereabouts of the demon-invading mortals in Zhibu State, find out what information was hidden in the golem, and check whether there was something special about the flames on the peninsula. Is it as capable as Shi Jun claimed? Used to fight against demons.
He hadn't thought about putting out the flames, and so far there hadn't been any reason for him to do so.
The King of Sacrifice is like a prophet who ran back to the present from the distant future, but he came back too early, and there was not even a trace of what he predicted.
The King of Sacrifice suddenly laughed out loud, as if he could no longer hold back in the middle of the prank, and then he apologized absently, "Please forgive me, you are so young, so young that... you make me jealous."
Mu Xingqiu also smiled. He had come into contact with many old people. The Taoist tradition was full of Taoist priests who were hundreds or thousands of years old. No matter what their personalities were and how strong their Taoist hearts were, they all had one thing in common. They looked at young Taoist priests as if they were just learning. Babies who are still young will not say anything or only talk a little bit, or they will be like Mr. Ishi and regard their children as "little bugs".
"You are also very young." Mu Xingqiu said. According to Taoist standards, the more than 200-year-old King Saishen cannot be called an old man. "Only young people are willing to reveal the truth to young people."
The King of Sacrifice laughed heartily, and then coughed involuntarily. It took him a while to stop laughing, "But my body is a real old house, and a burst of laughter can blow it to pieces. First of all, my body is a real old house." Without talking about the Far Desert Peninsula, let me ask you: What are you doing? Or what do you want to do? "
Mu Xingqiu's hands moved back and forth gently on the back of the chair. He had to control his power at all times, otherwise it would easily cause damage. "I am calling on all forces to jointly resist the demons."
"A great cause, the right choice." King Sheshen nodded approvingly, but his bright eyes seemed disapproving, "The Kingdom of Sheshen can be regarded as one of the forces in this world, why did you pass by the capital and not enter, and didn't try to persuade me to follow you? How about resisting the demons together? On the contrary, you broke the Tuozu statue in the palace and almost destroyed the royal vein."
"Because I heard that you have taken the demon seed and completely surrendered to Lookout Mountain.
"I see. Then let me ask you again, sooner or later the demon species will rush out of Wangshan, not just one or two, but thousands. They can enter the body of whomever they want. There are not many people or monsters. If you can resist, what will you do when the time comes? Will those forces that have been persuaded turn against you?"
"You want to ask me if I have a complete anti-demon plan?"
The King of Sacrifice smiled and nodded. This time his eyes looked normal, without the disapproving and teasing expression.
Mu Xingqiu had actually asked himself this question a long time ago. When he decided to stand up in the land of demons, he had asked himself what ability he had to resist the demons, and what advantages he had in his hands to make everyone trust him. Own.
The answer is nothing.
He does not have the powerful power of orthodoxy, nor the prestige and friendship all over the world. There always seem to be followers around him, but he is always alone. A beast that can do nothing but rampage.
But he still had to rush forward until he found a clear path.
"I called on everyone to rise up because someone has to do this, and the demon clan can do it, but this person or this demon has not appeared for a long time, so I have to be the first to shout. What I want is not followers. I have no intention of persuading any force to do anything. The facts are before us, the demons will destroy the entire world, and they will not only take revenge on the orthodoxy, but also all life."
"If you understand this, if you don't want to wait to die, if you think that resisting the demons is the most important thing right now, more important than thousands or tens of thousands of years of hatred, I may be able to introduce you to some humans who have the same idea. With the demon clan, everyone's power is very weak, but if we get together, help each other, and discuss together, we may be able to create an opportunity. I won't promise you a miracle, because no matter how perfect I make the plan, you won't. I don’t believe it, so I don’t have a plan. What to do after a large-scale invasion of demons? It’s not me who provides the solution, it’s everyone and every demon.”
The King of Sacrifice listened quietly, without moving, laughing, or speaking. When Mu Xingqiu finished speaking, he pressed the handrails with both hands and stood up with difficulty, "The demons have never given me a chance to let you go. The chances are greater.”
"Right now I'm only looking for like-minded people. After I take this step, I will tell you which side has a greater chance."
"Well, I will wait, but you have taken this step directly to the Kingdom of Sacrifice, which still makes me a little disappointed." The King of Sacrifice smiled again, walked tremblingly in front of Mu Xingqiu, and looked at him across the chair, "Please be patient and listen to a piece of family history of the Tuo family. This may be helpful to you in resisting the demons."
It was Mu Xingqiu's turn to listen quietly.
The Tuo family was not the first generation royal family of the Shishen Kingdom, but gained the throne during a rebellion.
The last king of the royal family of the previous generation, Shi Shen, was stupid and immoral. The last emperor was always stupid and unethical, and the country of Shi Shen was no exception. The nobles and demonic people had endured it for many years, and the Tuo family finally stood up. Just like Mu Xingqiu is doing the same thing now, only with more power, more support, and a complete plan.
It was almost inevitable to defeat Lao Wang and win. The biggest threat facing the Tuo family at that time was not the royalist forces, but the orthodoxy.
The Sheshen Kingdom was established after obtaining the permission of the Daotong from the beginning. It was a vassal of the human dynasty and protected the Zhibu State. As long as these two points were achieved, the Daotong would not interfere in the affairs of the half-demon. However, the royal families of all generations never made things so simple. In their descriptions, the Daotong was the most important foundation for the Sheshen King.
The Tuo family's resistance was unstoppable. They soon seized most of the country and gained the support of most of the monsters. The throne was within sight, but the Tuo family did not dare to reach out, but waited anxiously for the reaction of the Daotong.
The Daotong never appeared. Instead, the Dragon Bin Association's talisman master came. The Shengfu Dynasty allowed the Tuo family to be king as long as they abided by the two agreements.
The descendants of the Tuo family inherited the throne and also inherited this kind of anxiety. Referring to the experience of the previous royal family, they should have publicly claimed that the Tuo family had obtained the support of the Daotong. The second and third Sheshen Kings did so and successfully consolidated the throne, but did not relieve the anxiety in their hearts.
The fourth Sheshen King of the Tuo family suddenly had an idea to figure out the true intentions of the Taoist sect. He didn't have to find a Taoist priest or a talisman master of the Longbin Society. He could also go to Zhibu State to learn the secrets of Zhibu State, and perhaps guess the Taoist sect's thoughts.
This approach is dangerous. One of the most important responsibilities of the Sheshen State is to prevent the demons from entering Zhibu State at will, and the royal family certainly cannot violate the ban. Over the years, all humans and demons who entered Zhibu State were either sent in by the Longbin Society talisman masters or smuggled in from the sea. The former method is not controlled by the Sheshen State, and the latter method is a life-or-death struggle.
The opportunity came quite accidentally, and it was not even within the Sheshen King's plan. A prince failed to win favor and fled the capital, hiding in a small mountain village, and ended up catching up with the invasion of the demon species.
The talisman masters had been tracking the demon species and had already ambushed around the village, successfully destroying the demon species. The hundreds of demon people in the village were "killed by the demon invasion". In addition to accepting this statement, the Sheshen State had no choice.
Nearly twenty years later, this unfortunate prince actually returned to the capital of Sheshen Kingdom quietly, sneaking into the palace on a dim night to meet his father who was still in power.
The knot of the Tuo royal family was untied that night. Although this prince failed to succeed to the throne and even dared not show up in public, the successive Tuo Sheshen kings kept him firmly in mind.
"Tuo Kaicheng." The Sheshen King said this name reverently, as if chanting a powerful spell, "After that, the children of the Tuo family could only take single-character names. The human figure you saw in my Niwan Palace was him."
Mu Xingqiu was really surprised. He originally thought that the human figures in the Niwan Palace were all imaginary things, but he didn't expect that there would be a prototype. In this way, the human figures in the Taoist Niwan Palace were not simple, and the empty Niwan Palace of him and Xiaohao was even more special.
These questions could not be explained by the Half-Demon King, and Mu Xingqiu continued to listen quietly.
Tuo Kaicheng and other demons who were invaded by demons were sent to Zhibubang. After some training, they came to Yuanhuang Peninsula. Their only task was to plant trees, constantly plant relic trees, and stop the fire on the island.
Tuo Kaicheng never revealed his royal identity. For a long time, even he himself forgot about it. Like ordinary humans and demons, he worked hard to plant trees, watched them grow, and watched them slowly die under the scorching flames.
More than a decade later, Tuo Kaicheng received a mysterious message, the details of which were not passed down. King Sheshen only knew that Tuo Kaicheng immediately fled Yuanhuang Peninsula after deciphering the mysterious message. After going through hardships and dangers, he finally returned to his hometown and brought back important secrets and magical methods. The former relieved the tension in the hearts of the Tuo royal family, and the latter allowed successive Sheshen kings to have Niwan Palace, which was extremely similar to that of Taoist priests.
"The Far Wilderness Peninsula is a prison, where extremely powerful forces are imprisoned. Their existence has been wiped out, and there are no relevant records of the demons, humans, and the Taoist sect. According to my distant ancestor, the Taoist sect was able to defeat the demons because of the help of that powerful force, but the Taoist sect was ungrateful and set a fire, imprisoning the original ally on the island."
The Self-Sacrificing King let out a long breath. These secrets should have been left to the next Self-Sacrificing King, but now he confided in a Taoist priest he met for the first time, which was really strange.
But he felt relieved.
"A traitor among the demons." Mu Xingqiu suddenly remembered what Yi Shijun had said, "What exactly is imprisoned on the island?"
"I don't know. Tuo Kaicheng warned his descendants that they would rather obey the Taoist tradition or even surrender to the demons than try to rescue the prisoners on the Yuanhuang Peninsula. He also said that if anyone wants to extinguish the flames, they must be stopped. Otherwise, after that force comes out, the first to be destroyed is the Tuo royal family, because we got the information and benefits, but did not provide help."
Mu Xingqiu understood everything at once. Yi Shijun also got the help information from the island. His choice was different from the cautious Tuo Kaicheng. He wanted to extinguish the flames by using a Taoist priest.
