Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 371 Moon Demon, Night Emperor

"It is said that in ancient times, there were three emperors, Fuxi, Shennong and Nuwa, who ruled the world and were in charge of the three races of gods, demons and humans.

“Among them, the human race was born weak and was not able to stand on equal footing with the gods and demons. It was only thanks to the creation of the Nine-Level Immortal Path cultivation method by Lady Nuwa that the foundation for their rise was laid.

"One day, a wonder called 'Nine Stars in a Row' suddenly appeared in the sky. The power of the nine stars gathered in the void and broke a seal that had existed since who knows when, reopening a passage to a foreign land.

"There is a powerful and terrifying creature in that foreign land, called the 'Moon Demon'. Millions of Moon Demons, led by the Demon Lord Yedi, descended into this world through this passage, intending to turn the world into scorched earth and all creatures into food.

"The three races of gods, demons, and humans rose up in resistance and together they weathered this world-destroying catastrophe.

"After a brutal war, the gods, demons, and humans suffered countless casualties, but they finally annihilated the demon army. The Three Emperors even sacrificed their essence and used the most mysterious artifact, the Kunlun Mirror, to seal the immortal demon lord, the Night Emperor.

"After that, the Three Emperors passed away one after another, the remaining gods returned to heaven, and the demons and humans continued to thrive on earth.

"Later, the human race and the demon race gradually had conflicts over the living space. Until the Five Emperors ruled the world, Emperor Xuanyuan opened up the nine-level martial arts practice method, which made the human race strong and gradually became prosperous. In the end, they suppressed the demon race and became the protagonist of the world.

“After that, the suppressed Demon Lord Yedi caused trouble twice, leading to the Chiyou Jiuli Rebellion and the Wuzhiqi Flood.

"In the former, Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi brought the 'Xuanyuan Sword' and the 'Kongtong Seal' to capture Chiyou alive and split his body to suppress him.

"The latter has King Yu bringing the 'Pangu Axe' and the 'Shennong Ding' to reorganize the mountains and rivers, calm the floods, and then split the 'Shennong Ding' to suppress the Nine Provinces, completely banning the Demon Lord Yedi, making it impossible for him to cause trouble again..."

Listening to Zhuge Liang telling the story of this magnificent and long-ago past, everyone was so excited that they could not control themselves.

After a long silence, Lin Jin asked in confusion, "Mr. Zhuge, if it was such a big event, why is there no record of it in later history books, and even no legends in unofficial histories or rural anecdotes?"

Zhuge Wulong smiled bitterly and said, "Although I have not found clear evidence, I can infer from some clues that although this matter is a secret, it should have been circulated somewhat in the pre-Qin period, but it was completely forgotten until the First Emperor unified the country. Even some old monsters who have lived from the pre-Qin period to the present have completely kept silent about it."

"Burn books and bury scholars!"

Everyone thought of this at the same time and guessed that perhaps this was the Qin Shi Huang's true intention.

Zhuge Wulong naturally guessed what everyone was thinking, so he nodded and said, "In my opinion, the First Emperor deliberately obliterated the existence of this matter because he was worried that if someone wrote down the name of the Night Emperor or even had a thought in his mind, it might arouse the Night Emperor's supreme evil heart and repeat the incident of Chiyou and Wuzhiqi. It is only because I am in the Forbidden Demon Prison, which is neither heaven nor earth, that I dare to bring up the old matter again."

Ma Ji slowly asked, "Now that you are bringing up the past, sir, you must have confirmed that the catastrophe originated from the imprisoned Demon Lord Yedi?"

Zhuge Wulong nodded with a heavy face, "That's right! And this time, the Demon Lord Ye Di is not only trying to spread his evil thoughts to corrupt others and confuse the world, but is also trying to completely break the seal and continue his annihilation of the world as he did back then."

Everyone was shocked and their faces turned pale.

Ma Ji asked again: "In your opinion, how will the Demon Lord Yedi break the seal of the two great artifacts, the Kunlun Mirror and the Shennong Ding?"

Zhuge Wulong said thoughtfully, "I think that when King Yu split the Shennong Ding into the Jiuzhou Ding, he intended to connect this artifact with the destiny of the human race and form a seal. If we want to break this seal, the key may be the Kongtong Seal, another artifact that is favored by the destiny of the human race. As for the Kunlun Mirror, I am ashamed that I have not figured it out yet." Ma Ji looked thoughtful, and after a moment he asked, "So, those people I asked you to investigate were planning to break the seal of the Jiuzhou Ding with the Kongtong Seal?"

Zhuge Wolong nodded again: "It should be correct!"

Jiaona on the side asked curiously: "Master, who are you talking about?"

Ma Ji shook his head and said, "If you know, even if you don't say it out loud, it will inevitably linger in your mind. Then there is a risk of the other party finding out and adding variables, so don't ask for the time being."

Although Jiaona was a little lively and frivolous, she was not ignorant of the overall situation. Seeing that her husband spoke seriously and the interests involved were too serious, she nodded and stopped talking.

Zhuge Wulong added: "Since the Supervisor knows the other party's intentions, he should be able to guess that your overseas trip is a trap. Not only is your request doomed to fail, but you may even lose your life."

Ma Ji said leisurely: "Now is not the time to completely break up, I can only follow the other party's arrangement and play this scene. Since I know what's going on, it won't be so easy for others to plot against me and kill me."

Zhuge Wulong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "In this case, let's use their own tactics against them. Let the Supervisor deal with them and divert their energy overseas, while I will secretly go to the Middle-earth to make some arrangements."

Ma Ji stood up and bowed to him, saying, "Thank you for everything, sir."

Zhuge Wulong stood up and returned the greeting, saying with emotion: "When a nest is overturned, no egg can be left unbroken. I am saving the world and saving myself. I should have contributed. Why should I thank you?"

The two smiled at each other.

We are all smart people. Now that the general idea has been decided, the details of the action will naturally be decided by each person. When the time comes, we will be able to coordinate with each other and there will be no need for too much discussion.

Ma Ji stayed in the "Forbidden Demon Prison" for a few days, and then came out of the big fish's mouth and continued to ride the pleasure boat transformed by the "Heaven-Repairing Stone" all the way to the east.

The sea and sky were vast and boundless, and Ma Ji had other plans, so he did not travel at his true speed, so it took him more than ten days to cover more than ten thousand miles.

On this day, a huge island suddenly appeared in front of us. The main part was a mountain with lush forests, stretching for nearly a thousand miles.

As the pleasure boat approached the edge of the island, Ma Ji noticed a small sea vessel moored on the shore. It looked like a Middle-earth ship. There were two people, one big and one small, talking on the mountain. He was slightly curious and sailed over.

At this moment, the two men also saw this pleasure boat that should never appear on the sea, and expressions of surprise appeared on their faces.

When Ma Ji and the four girls appeared at the bow, the middle-aged man, who was wearing simple animal skin clothes but looked no different from the people in Middle-earth, seemed a little excited and wanted to step forward to speak.

The boy with him looked no more than four or five years old, but he grabbed the man and pulled him behind him. A vigilant look appeared on his face, and he asked in a somewhat awkward but recognizable Middle-earth Chinese: "You...you guys, what...what do you do?"
