Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

By flipping through the information provided before his death.

Yan Jing learned that the senior management of Zhongshan City had made a breakthrough in finding Zhulong.

After hundreds of years of tossing, they finally found the thread 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 wasting time and effort to collect information layer by layer, it is better to do it in one step and start directly from the three demon kings.

Of course, Yan Jing knew very well that doing so was extremely dangerous.

His ability is not good at obtaining information, and he can only use foreign objects or extraordinary props.

The bug is an accessory product of Yan Jing's pair of high-tech glasses.

Although the quality is only rare, he is sure that the demon cultivators in this world don't know such items.

No matter how finely their barriers are arranged, I am afraid that a small metal ball no more than the size of a soybean can hear their conversation.

As long as you keep silent, Yan Jing doesn't think you will be discovered just by eavesdropping on the conversations of several demon kings in Tianjiao Palace.

The development of the matter was indeed as Yan Jing expected.

As soon as we went down the mountain along the corridor bridge, the voice of Jiao Demon King came from the earphones.

Yan Jing gave Zhu Xia a look, and the latter immediately understood, looked around, and paid attention to the half-demon soldiers patrolling around, to ensure that they would not notice Yan Jing's strange behavior at this time.

"Mother Snake's prophecy is correct. Yuan Gang is not the real Man of Destiny. No, it should be said that he is not yet complete."

The voice of Jiao Demon King sounded in the earphones, and as soon as he came up, he mentioned the previous Ren Tianming, Yan Jing raised his eyebrows, and only listened to the earphones and said,
"Yuan Gang made us suffer so much at the beginning, and this time, the Man of Destiny is probably not a good character to get along with."

"So what, we are now only one step away from awakening the Candle Dragon. After nearly a hundred years of planning and preparation, you know how much resources have been invested in making the bait container. Don't miss this opportunity!"

This time it was the Demon King Peng who spoke.

In the internal meeting where only the three demon kings were present, they obviously had no sense of secrecy.

Hearing that they were only one step away, Yan Jing not only didn't feel the crisis, but heaved a sigh of relief. What he fears most now is that even the Demon King of Zhongshan City has no clue about awakening the candle dragon.

"how is the situation?"

Seeing that Yan Jing's face was changing, Zhu Xia pursed her lips and couldn't help asking.

"Go on, wait until you are in a safe place."

There are half-demon soldiers guarding not far away, this place is obviously not suitable for discussing wiretapping, Yan Jing said with a suppressed voice.

Zhu Xia nodded to express her understanding and stopped asking.

The two 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 was located in the middle of the mountain, as soon as possible to meet Lao Yuan.

The city is bustling in the middle of the night.

All kinds of strange-looking monsters can be seen everywhere in the streets, and there are even some human beings mixed in, but judging from their simple attire and tools at hand, they should be engaged in the lowest level of hard work.

At this time, the conversation in Tianjiao Palace had ended, and Yan Jing had indeed obtained a lot of useful information, and she needed to find someone to help her as a consultant.

After all, Yan Jing really didn't know much about the situation in Zhongshan City, and he didn't know anything about some things the Demon King mentioned in the conversation.

Zhu Xia's situation is similar.

She has been sleeping in Peng'an for nearly a hundred years, and her impression of Zhongshan City is still a hundred years ago.

Fortunately, with her status as a police officer, it was very easy for Yan Jing to inquire about a place.

Stopped the passing patrols, easily learned the location of Songzhuju, and also learned that it was a time-honored tavern, well-known in Zhongshan City, opened by a bamboo demon and a pine tree demon, that's why "Songzhuju" name.

With a clear address, Yan Jing and Zhu Xia quickly found it.

The signboard of Songzhuju can be seen half a street away, and the business seems to be very hot at night.

Yan Jing, who was halfway there, stopped and blocked Zhu Xia who was about to walk forward, and did not choose to lean over directly.

There are too many monsters coming and going in front of the house of Songzhu.

It's hard to guarantee that there won't be any monsters in the house who know the truth, if they really are acquaintances, Yan Jing will have to reveal his secrets after chatting a few words.

After thinking for a while, Yan Jing first asked Zhu Xia to try to contact the old turtle, while he found a remote place to release the effect of the Huanling Ring.

When he returned to his original position, the same disguised Lao Yuan was following Zhu Xia back.

"I successfully eavesdropped on some information here. How about you, have you contacted the aspiring demon back then?"

Yan Jing motioned 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 wasn't just Yuan Gang who tried to save the world.

The latter is more like the banner erected by the monsters who rose up to fight against the demon kings of Zhongshan City at that time.

To put it bluntly, there are also people in the Yaozu who are unwilling to become crazy and evil.

They tried to use Yuan Gang's power to realize the prophecy.

It's just that the end result is not satisfactory.

In fact, the degeneration of Zhongshan City 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 many old buddies left, there are still some who are persistent. Come with me."

After Lao Yuan finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the side alleyway of Songzhuju, but Yan Jing held his shoulders as soon as he stepped out.

"Are they trustworthy?"

Yan Jing believes in Lao Yuan, but it doesn't mean he believes in the latter's friends from a hundred years ago.

You must know that the evil erosion in Zhongshan City is only slowed down, not nothing!
"Don't worry, I have tested it just now. If they have problems, you can't see me now."

The old man 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 lane to the back door of Songzhu Residence.

When they reached the door, Lao Yuan stepped forward and knocked on the door with a specific rhythm, which should be a secret signal between them.

The door opened and a man and a woman appeared.

It was the shopkeeper of Songzhuju and his wife.

The man is slender and wears a gown embroidered with ink bamboo, while the woman is a bit rich and has a plump figure.

When the two saw Yan Jing for the first time, their expressions suddenly became excited. The man stepped forward and stared at Yan Jing's face.

"Like, it's too similar. You can't be wrong, you should be the new Tianmingren!"

Even though they had just learned about the appearance of the Destiny Man from the mouth of the old turtle, seeing Yan Jing's face that was [-]-[-]% similar to Yuan Gang still made them unable to restrain themselves from recalling those experiences back then.

Yan Jing was also observing the two in front of him at this time. Through his perception, he could confirm 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 saw along the way just now.

"The shopkeeper's name is Zhu Mo, and the person next to him is his wife, Song Yue. When Yuan Gang came to Zhongshan City to find a way to wake up the candle dragon, he got their great help."

The old man explained next to him.

"It's just a negligible 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. We only hope to help the destiny. If you need anything, please don't be polite!"

Whether it is Zhumo or Songyue, the spirits cultivated as plants will inevitably have low combat capabilities, so in the operations that year, they were more of a support staff.

It is also because of this that they survived the great war and even hid in Zhongshan City until now.

A group of people entered Songzhu House through the back door, avoiding the place where the tavern welcomes guests, and came to the quiet room prepared by Zhumo in advance.

The soundproof barrier has been arranged in advance, and there is a trustworthy little demon guarding the door.

Everyone sat down.

"I left a eavesdropping tool in Tianjiao Palace, and I happened to overhear the internal meeting of the three demon kings. I don't quite understand some things, and I need you to help me answer them."

Picking up the tea and sipping to moisten her throat, Yan Jing said straightforwardly.

This is the main purpose of his coming here.

The couple Mo Zhu and Songyue have been in Zhongshan City for these years, and they have personally experienced what happened in those years and the changes in Zhongshan City in recent years, so they undoubtedly know better.

"The Demon King first mentioned the existence of the Snake Mother in the conversation. Through the prophecy of the Snake Mother, they learned that the Man of Destiny would reappear, so they sent Fan and other demon kings to guard the gates outside Zhongshan City. "

Yan Jing took out the glasses from her arms, played the content of the previously recorded conversation, and pressed pause at a key point, asking,

"What is the snake mother, a wizard in Zhongshan City?"

You must know that the prophecy about the Destiny Man was handed down from the divine way hundreds of years ago, and now there are other existences who can peek into the future, which makes Yan Jing quite concerned.

This time I came to this world with the help of the torch. Could it be that this so-called "snake mother" can even predict the behavior of the torch?
Inquiring eyes turned to the few people in front of her, but all Yan Jing saw were the same confused faces.

"Mother Snake. There have indeed been quite a few famous snake demons in Zhongshan City over the years, but we really don't know about the existence of those who can influence the decision of the Jiao Demon King and others, and propose the existence of prophecies related to the Man of Destiny."

Over the years, with the fame of Songzhuju, Zhumo got to know many monsters, and the intelligence network he secretly built helped him obtain a lot of inside information about Zhongshan City, but he had never heard of the information about this snake mother. Pass.

"We immediately sent people to investigate and try to find out the origin of the snake mother as quickly as possible."

Songyue added on the side.

"No, I think I know where this snake mother came from, you can't find it."

Seeing that neither Zhumo nor Songyue had relevant information, Yan Jing raised her hand to interrupt,
"To be able to make predictions to the destiny people, and then influence the demon king, so that they can take the initiative to issue various orders. This snake mother can only be the extraterritorial demon who controls this world now!"

The voice fell, and the quiet room fell into silence.

At that time, Yuan Gang made a big noise in Zhongshan City, until he fought against the three demon kings Jiao, Niu, and Peng. The blood flowed into rivers and the corpses piled up like mountains. Come, secretly happy for this.

Accepting the rule of a demon king who is also a monster is more acceptable to monsters than accepting the rule of an indescribable extraterrestrial demon.

Right now, 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 demons hiding behind them!
Yan Jing knew that with the location of Songzhu's residence, it was impossible to have the opportunity to come into contact with the snake mother, so she didn't let them waste time.

Press the play button.

"The second key point is that the Demon King mentioned that Yuan Gang is an incomplete Man of Destiny. This coincides with our speculation when we came here. Yuan Gang's failure does not mean that the prophecy was wrong, but that he failed to achieve the prophecy. The Man of Heaven's request!"

Yuan Gang is a Man of Destiny, but not completely, he probably lacks something, just like Yan Jing at this time, paused, raised his hand and opened his skirt, revealing his smooth chest,
"I am a Man of Destiny, and it is very likely that I am incomplete. The dragon-shaped mark mentioned in the prophecy did not appear, which probably means that my physical body failed to meet the requirements of the prophecy or awaken the candle dragon."

This is something that Yan Jing has been very concerned about until now.

There is probably only one chance to awaken the Candle Dragon, and failure means that this mission is in desperation.

Although the torch did not mention any punishment for mission failure, Yan Jing knew very well that this enlistment mission was related to whether he could solve the moon crisis in this world, and it was a test of the torch.

"If I remember correctly, there is indeed a dragon-shaped imprint on Yuan Gang's chest, but you want to achieve it in a short time."

Zhumo was half-speaking, but was interrupted by Songyue standing beside him.

"I remembered that Yuan Gang once mentioned why his physical body is so strong. He never deliberately exercised it, it was more like a natural cultivation. Yes, he said that he seemed to be conceived by a spirit stone. At that time we Just as he was having fun."

Recalling the past, Songyue couldn't help showing a helpless smile,
"Yuan Gang has always been a rowdy character, but now that I think about it, if it wasn't for the blessings of heaven and earth, how could he be so tough!"

Being able to become a man of destiny recognized by this world, Yuan Gang's strength is beyond doubt, but the source of his physical ability is quite a headache for Yan Jing, after all, it is impossible for him now to replicate this process.

no, no
It is impossible for the torch to give an impossible task.

Not to mention the evil spirit hiding in the dark, that is, the so-called snake mother also made a prophecy.

There must be some way to make himself a man of destiny who can really awaken the candle dragon.

The glasses on the table were still playing the eavesdropped content, and the topic of the demon kings began to involve the bait trap that took a hundred years to kill Candle Dragon.

Yan Jing leaned on the seat and fell into deep thought, then seemed to think of something, raised her head and asked,
"Where did Yuan Gang's body go after the war that was triggered in Zhongshan City? Was it destroyed by the monsters, or did it go somewhere else?"

Since Yuan Gang became the Man of Destiny in the flesh, after he was defeated in the battle, the demon kings would most likely keep his body specially for the purpose of studying the Man of Destiny.

This may be a breakthrough.
