Chapter 405: Lord Kang Jinxing (6K chapter, additional chapter)
Nanfangbuzhou.

Six hundred miles of Liyang Guiyu.

This mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood was indeed extremely smelly.

In the east, a group of little demons were acting recklessly, capturing living creatures and eating their flesh.

In the west, demons are rampant, treating living creatures as delicacies, cooking and frying them, which is a horrible sight.

No matter whether it is a human, a demon, or a ghost, once they set foot on this land, they will never be able to escape the clutches of the Black Tiger Demon Lord.

This scene reminded Xiao Chen of the Lion Camel Ridge that he had seen before.

This was really comparable to the Lion Camel Ridge that he had seen before.

“It’s really too arrogant.”

Xiao Chen looked at the six hundred miles of Liyang Guiyu and couldn’t help but sigh:
“This Black Tiger Demon Lord is a bit arrogant and doesn’t know how to restrain himself. He doesn’t have a deep background like the Golden Winged Roc, but he wants to follow the Golden Winged Roc’s path.”

Strength and weakness are relative.

In the vicinity of Qingjiang County, the Black Tiger Demon Lord is indeed extremely famous. He is the demon king and no one dares to mess with him.

He can act recklessly and tyrannically here, enjoying unrestrained power.

However, if we expand our vision to the wider Three Realms, this Black Tiger Demon Lord is nothing more than a small minion.

As the saying goes: “If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.”

……

at the moment.

He, the Golden Horn King, the Monkey King, and the Yellow Wind Great Sage are all great demons at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and Princess Wansheng now also has the cultivation level of the Golden Immortal realm.

What’s more, he, the King of Golden Horn, also possesses the “Ancestral Dragon Pearl”, an extremely high-grade innate spiritual treasure that can restrain his breath and conceal his body.

How could the Golden Immortal-level demon kings like Liyang Guiyu easily discover their traces?
Mirage Scale Mask, this kind of magical treasure, Xiao Chen has now collected several.

The three demons, Yellow Wind Great Sage, Monkey King and Princess Halloween, are naturally one demon each, used to change their faces.

Above the clouds.

Several demons talked to each other.

“Fourth brother, I think we don’t need to go out of our way to pay a visit to this Black Tiger Demon Lord.”

The Monkey King hesitated for a moment, and with a hint of caution in his tone, he continued:
“This Black Tiger Demon Lord has now been targeted by the Heavenly Court.”

“The current situation in Liyang Guiyu is complex and unpredictable.”

“If we communicate too closely with the Black Tiger Demon Lord, we might leave a flaw in our aura and expose our whereabouts.”

“It would be bad if we were noticed by the gods of land and mountains and other heavenly beings.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen expressed his agreement:

“Third brother, what you said is absolutely right. It’s exactly what I want.”

“As for the Black Tiger Demon Lord, we should keep our distance and not join in the fun.”

Upon hearing this, the All Saints Dragon Girl smiled slightly and said softly:

“In that case, let’s find a secluded place to rest and hide until the opportunity comes.”

“A hidden place…”

Xiao Chen looked around and was about to go look for it.

At this moment, Great Sage Huang Feng interrupted with a smile:

“My Lord, why worry about such a small matter?”

“Let me dig a hole that’s both hidden and safe.”

The words of the Great Sage Huang Feng were full of confidence, and his eyes flashed with a cunning light. After all, digging holes was his forte.

As a rat spirit, he has a unique advantage in this regard.

The rat hole dug by the golden-nosed, white-haired rat demon in Xiankong Mountain is known as the “Bottomless Pit”.

The name of this cave is not unfounded.

The structure of this mouse’s “bottomless pit” is so wonderful that it can be described as a masterpiece of nature. It is like a maze with twists and turns and is unfathomable.

The terrain is complex and unpredictable, and every turn hides unknown mysteries, which is truly unique.

Ordinary people, once entering the “bottomless pit” of the golden-nosed, white-haired rat demon, would probably lose their way in an instant and not know which way is east, south, west or north.

The passages in the cave are intricate and complex, like a maze with thousands of twists and turns, making it difficult to figure out.

Most people will feel dizzy and at a loss as to what to do when they first enter, and they really can’t handle it.

In the end, they were forced to withdraw, unable to go deeper and find out the truth.

This shows how powerful this rat hole is.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen waved his hand and readily agreed:
“Go ahead, Huang Feng. It’s up to you.”

“Okay, sir!”

The Great Sage Huangfeng responded, and then turned into a gust of yellow wind. His figure was as agile as flying, shuttling between the mountains and forests.

Relying on his keen intuition and rich experience, he quickly found a place with hidden terrain and suitable environment.

The Great Sage Huang Feng wielded the three-pronged steel fork and skillfully dug the soil. After a while, the outline of a cave vaguely appeared.

……

It didn’t take long.

The Great Sage Huang Feng came back happily, holding a steel fork in his hand. His face was full of joy, and he said to Xiao Chen:

“My Lord, it’s done!”

“I found a perfect location, the cave has been dug.”

Immediately, Xiao Chen, the Monkey King, and Princess Wansheng followed the Great Sage Yellow Wind to the “rat hole” that he had dug.

The mice are very professional in digging holes.

The Great Sage Huang Feng’s ability to dig holes was fully demonstrated at this moment.

When several monsters walked into the cave, their eyes suddenly lit up.

I saw that the cave was spacious and bright, with a reasonable layout and beautiful appearance.

The cave walls are smooth and flat, and the cave ceiling is high, as if it was formed naturally. Moreover, the environment is suitable and extremely hidden, it is simply a natural hiding place.

“It’s a nice cave indeed!”

Xiao Chen couldn’t help but admire.

The Monkey King also nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

Princess Halloween’s eyes flashed with surprise, and she was very satisfied with the seclusion and comfort of the cave.

The cave is not only spacious and bright, but also well-planned, with every corner handled just right, ensuring privacy while facilitating entry and exit.

“Hey, hey, hey, no where!”

“Your Majesty, you are too kind.”

The Great Sage Huang Feng was even happier after receiving the praise.

He rubbed his hands, smiled so hard that his teeth showed, and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

The Great Sage Huang Feng was very proud in his heart, but he said modestly:
“It’s just a little skill of mine.”

Among them, consider that Princess Halloween is a woman.

The Great Sage Huangfeng was even more thoughtful and dug a single cave for Princess Wansheng, which was both hidden and safe.

The entrance to the cave is cleverly hidden behind a thicket of grass, making it difficult to find even when you get close.

The interior of the cave is a different world, decorated in a warm and elegant manner.

“Huang Feng, you are such a considerate and caring ‘warm mouse’.”

“You are such a good person…”

“Oh no, it’s so demonic!”

Princess Halloween couldn’t help but smile, her eyes full of gratitude and appreciation.

This action of the Great Sage Huangfeng changed Princess Wansheng’s attitude towards the Great Sage Huangfeng.

She couldn’t help but give the Great Sage Huang Feng a “good guy card”.

“Hahaha!”

The Great Sage Huang Feng enjoyed it.

“Bai Susu will also think that I am a good mouse.”

The Great Sage Yellow Wind thought happily.

……

Inside the cave.

The Halloween Dragon Girl moved lightly, her eyes fixed on every detail of the cave entrance, thinking in her mind how to further increase the concealment of this place.

“I’ll add some grass and trees to increase concealment.”

After saying that, the Halloween Dragon Girl waved her sleeves lightly, and a fresh breath instantly spread out, like a spring breeze blowing across the earth, bringing vitality and vigor.

The surrounding flowers, plants and trees seemed to be called by her and began to grow out.

A group of flowers and plants cover the entrance of the cave tightly, leaving no gap at all. From the outside, it looks like an undisturbed natural place.

“Well… I’ll set up another barrier.”

The Monkey King waved his hand, muttered something, and began to set up the barrier.

The Monkey King’s fingers drew mysterious tracks in the air, as if he was weaving an invisible net to isolate the cave from the outside world.

Several invisible barriers were quietly formed. They were like transparent barriers. Although they were invisible and intangible, they could block the prying and intrusion of the outside world.

Suddenly, the cave seemed to be integrated with the surrounding mountains.

From the outside, it looks like just an ordinary mountain, with no sign of anyone hiding in it.

……

Next, the monsters quietly waited for Kang Jinxingjun and the three evil stars to descend to the mortal world.

……

Half a year later.

The sky of the six hundred li Liyang Guiyu suddenly became gloomy, with dark clouds covering it, as if a huge piece of black silk was covering the sky and the sun.

Thunder roared.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

……

The thunder rumbled one after another, deafening, like the sound of war drums coming from the sky, foreshadowing that a great war was about to begin.

at this time.

A violent gust of wind accompanied by thunder flashed by, and more than a hundred warships from the Heavenly Court broke through the thick clouds and appeared in the sky above Liyang Guiyu like divine soldiers descended from the sky.

These warships are majestic, with their hulls shining with dazzling golden light, like giant dragons wandering in the clouds, emitting endless divine light.

Among them, the largest warship of the Heavenly Palace is particularly eye-catching. It stands tall and majestic, like a moving mountain.

Standing on the bow was a graceful and stunningly beautiful dragon lady, she was the leader of this battle.

She was wearing a bright red battle robe, which looked like a burning flame, making her graceful figure even more charming.

Her curvy figure is even more exquisite against the background of her battle robe, as if it is the most perfect sculpture of nature. Her skin is whiter than snow, her feet are as delicate as silk, and her slender and tall legs are “looming” under the cover of the red dress, adding a bit of mystery and temptation, making people want to take a peek.

She was wearing a bright red battle robe embroidered with a golden dragon pattern, which sparkled brightly and added a touch of nobility and coolness to her.

This royal sister dragon girl is none other than the second eastern constellation among the twenty-eight constellations – Kangjin Star Lord.

now.

Kang Jin Long Nu stood at the head of the Heavenly Palace warship and shouted softly:
“break!”

Kang Jinlongnu’s eyes were as sharp as swords, flashing with determination. She led the way with an imposing manner.

Her hair sparkled silver under the starlight and fluttered in the wind, adding a touch of fairy-like elegance.

She is surrounded by the brilliant light of the Big Dipper, which flows around her like running water, making her look even more otherworldly, like the brightest star in the sky.

Kang Jinlongnu holds the “Xuanguan Leiji” in her hand. This divine halberd shines with lightning and contains the power of thunder between heaven and earth.

“Clouds surge in all directions, thunder roars!”

“Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, fast!”

Kang Jin Long Nu pointed her halberd to the sky, causing the nine-sky divine thunder to rise.

As her spell fell, lightning flashed in the sky and the roar resounded through the clouds, shaking people’s minds.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

……

I saw the lightning like a dragon, roaring and rushing towards the magic fog above Liyang Guiyu.

In an instant, wherever the lightning passed, the sky seemed to be torn apart, emitting bursts of shrill whistling sounds.

The thick demonic fog was torn apart like rags under the impact of lightning, opening up a path forward for the army of heaven.

“kill!”

“kill!”

“kill!”

……

Inspired by the thunder, the heavenly soldiers and generals were in high spirits and marched forward bravely.

“Bros!”

“Slay demons and eliminate evil, and enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!”

“Protect Jiuzhou and bring peace to the people!”

“on!”

……

Tiankuixing stood on the warship, shouting slogans loudly and calling on his brothers to charge.

Tiankuixing is in the center of the rear giving commands.

“The killer has received the order!”

“Tian Guxing has received the order!”

“Tian Shangxing has received the order!”

……

Tiangang Star, Tiansha Star, Tiangu Star, Tianshang Star, Tianxiong Star, Tianwei Star, Tianan Star, Tianli Star… Each of the Tiangang and Disha stars are like wolves and tigers, armed with sharp weapons, charging forward.

Among them, there was a general with a body as thick as a black bear and a body as mischievous as an iron bull. He had red and yellow eyebrows, his eyes were tied with red silk, his angry hair was like an iron brush, and he looked as ferocious as a lion.

This divine general danced with two axes in his hands with impenetrable speed and murderous aura.

There is also a divine general, he has a round face, big ears, a straight nose, a square mouth, with a raccoon-smelling beard on his cheeks, he is eight feet tall, with a waist that is ten feet wide, he carries a Zen staff on his shoulder and an iron python across his body!
There is also a divine general, who has a majestic body, a dignified appearance, extraordinary power, a broad chest, and an aura that is unmatched by thousands of men!

He held two knives in his hands, looking murderous!
It’s like a devil descending from the sky, he is really the Tai Sui God on earth!
……

This movement.

Naturally, they had already been noticed by Xiao Chen, the Monkey King, the Yellow Wind Great Sage, the Halloween Princess and several other monsters hiding in the cave.

Several monsters hid in a cave, and looking into the distance, they saw the huge lineup of the Heavenly Palace approaching like a dark cloud.

Xiao Chen had dealt with all the twenty-eight constellations, but he was not very familiar with the Tiangang and Disha stars and felt somewhat unfamiliar with them.

He looked at the figures of the celestial and terrestrial gods in the heavenly army.

These divine generals either hold magical weapons, or wear armor, or ride divine beasts. Each of them has extraordinary momentum and strength.

“Thirty-six Heavenly Stars, Seventy-two Earthly Stars…”

Xiao Chen looked at the lineup in that sky.

……

Taoist culture is profound and extensive, containing rich star worship and mythological legends.

Among them, the “Thirty-six Celestial Beings” and the “Seventy-two Earthly Fiends” are extremely important concepts.

Taoism believes that there are thirty-six stars in the Big Dipper cluster, and there is a deity stationed on each star. These gods are collectively called the “Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars.”

There are seventy-two Earthly Evil stars in the Big Dipper cluster, and each of them has a deity, collectively known as the “Seventy-two Earthly Evils”.

This is: “Thirty-six Heavenly Beings, Seventy-two Earthly Fiends!”

Sun Wukong’s “Seventy-two Transformations of the Earthly Evils” and Zhu Bajie’s “Thirty-six Transformations of the Heavenly Evils” are based on the numbers of these two types of stars.

The thirty-six celestial stars often work together with the seventy-two earthly evil stars to subdue demons and monsters. They are a force in heaven that cannot be underestimated.

In addition, the Five Star Gods, the Big Dipper, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Thirty-Six Celestial Stars, the Seventy-Two Earthly Evil Stars… all fall under the management of the Heavenly Court’s Dou Department.

The Dou Department of the Heavenly Court is responsible for managing the movement of stars and the evil spirits among the stars. Its leader is “Dou Mu Yuan Jun”.

Dou Mu Yuan Jun is known as the “Mother of Stars” and rules over all the stars.

She commands eighty-four thousand evil stars in the Heavenly Court’s Fighting Department and is an extremely important existence in the heavens.

……

Xiao Chen saw that there was a middle-aged man with a dark face next to Kang Jin Xing Jun, standing side by side with Kang Jin Xing Jun.

This black-faced man stood side by side with Kangjin Star Lord. His aura was no weaker than before, as if he was a leader who naturally emerged among the Tiangang and Disha, emitting an indescribable majesty.

He was wearing black armor and a blood-red robe over the armor. He had a sword across his waist, and the sword exuded a biting coldness.

He is of medium build, neither fat nor thin. He appears extremely steady when standing, and exudes a powerful aura from his whole body.

In terms of appearance, the man has a slightly square face, clear lines, and a slightly dark complexion, giving people a feeling of perseverance.

“Third brother, do you know who that black-faced general is?”

Xiao Chen was curious. Although he had vaguely guessed the man’s identity, he was still not sure, so he asked the Monkey King next to him.

The Monkey King is knowledgeable and experienced in the Three Realms, and perhaps he knows the identity of this divine general.

Upon hearing this, the Monkey King followed Xiao Chen’s gaze and saw the dark-faced middle-aged man. A glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.

“Oh, that person should be the leader of the Thirty-Six Celestial Beings, the Tian Kui Constellation.”

The Monkey King introduced to Xiao Chen.

“So it’s Tian Kuixing, Song Jiang…”

When Xiao Chen heard this, he immediately understood.

Tiankuixing, the leader of the Tiangangxing. It turns out that this middle-aged man with a dark face and extraordinary aura is Song Jiang’s previous life.

This time period was still far away from the Song Dynasty, and the thirty-six heavenly generals and seventy-two earthly evil spirits were still in heaven and had not yet come down to earth.

“The gods in Water Margin…”

“One hundred and eight generals of the heavenly and earthly wicked…”

When Xiao Chen saw the 108 Tiangang and Disha generals, he couldn’t help but think of the opening chapter of “Water Margin”.

In fact, the original version of “Water Margin” has a clear mythological color and contains many gods, demons and monsters.

To a certain extent, “Water Margin”, like “Journey to the West”, is also a mythological novel that integrates historical stories.

It’s just that many people, influenced by TV dramas, read “Water Margin” as a pure historical novel and ignore the mythological background contained therein.

But in fact, in the first chapter of “Water Margin”, “Zhang Tianshi prays for the plague, and General Hong mistakenly walks into the demon”, its mythological background has been clearly revealed.

Due to his arrogance and ignorance, Captain Hong forcibly opened the stone tablet in the Demon-Suppressing Hall, causing the thirty-six Heavenly Stars and seventy-two Earthly Stars (a total of 108 black auras) suppressed within to escape and be reincarnated as the 108 heroes of Liangshan, thus opening the prelude to this heroic epic.

Xiao Chen still remembers the hymn in the introduction to the Water Margin:
“On the top of Mount Taihua, the ‘Giant Spirit’ smashed the mountain with one blow. ‘Gonggong’ was so angry that he threw off his helmet and knocked down ‘Mount Buzhou’; ‘Li Shi’ showed his power and smashed the Emperor’s chariot with his flying hammer.”

When the novel begins to introduce these 108 generals, it is also clearly introduced:
“This palace has locked up thirty-six Heavenly Stars, seventy-two Earthly Stars, and a total of one hundred and eighteen ‘Demon Lords’.”

“A stone tablet was erected on it, with a dragon and phoenix seal carved on it, to suppress the place.”

“If he is released into the world, he will surely cause trouble to the living beings below.”

Unfortunately, however, many TV dramas often ignore this opening introduction when adapting “Water Margin”, and the later stories are not filmed in full.

This means that the audience knows very little about the mythological background of the novel “Water Margin”.

They are even completely unaware of the mythological background and the stories of gods descending to earth.

But in fact.

In that world of Water Margin, there is the unyielding spirit of Gonggong, the majestic Buzhou Mountain, the mighty giant spirit, the ethereal spirits, the cunning demons, the majesty of the dragon…

The Jade Emperor’s rule over the three realms, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady’s teaching of military books, the majesty of the golden-armored gods…

The magic of flying, the freedom of riding on clouds, the speed of the wind-fire wheel, the power of thunder magic, the wonder of the third eye…

All of this actually exists in the world of Water Margin.

……

The military book of Song Jiang, the Tiankuixing, was given by the Queen Mother of the West.

There is a passage in the book: “After returning to Dao Village and receiving three volumes of heavenly books, Song Gongming met the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.”

After the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens descended to the mortal world, she asked Song Jiang, “Star Master, are you well?”

Obviously, everyone is an old acquaintance in heaven.

The Queen Mother of the West not only appeared as an old friend, but also as a messenger from heaven to convey the “will of the Jade Emperor” to Song Jiang, the Tiankuixing.

The Lady of the Nine Heavens conveyed her will to Song Jiang:

“The Jade Emperor has temporarily punished the lower world because the Star Lord’s evil heart has not been extinguished and his practice of Taoism has not been completed. He will return to the Purple Palace soon. You must not forget anything.”

“…Now that we are separated, it is difficult for us to stay together for long. You should return quickly!”

In fact, in the book, the Heavenly Court arranged the “36 Tiangang Stars and 72 Disha Stars” to go down to the mortal world to experience disasters, complete their missions, and finally return to heaven.

……

Moreover, in the Water Margin world, the later fights were not purely cold weapon confrontations.

In many cases, both sides used immortal methods, fighting back and forth, and the battle was extremely intense.

For example, the art of flying, riding on clouds, calling the wind and rain, the art of flying swords, breathing fire from the mouth, traveling a thousand miles a day… In fact, this is not uncommon in the world of Water Margin, and many people can do it.

It can only be considered a small trick.

Even in the world of Water Margin, there is a man named Ma Ling, nicknamed “The Divine Horse” and “Little Huaguang”, and has “three eyes”.

To a certain extent, it can be described as a combination of “Nezha” + “Yang Jian”.

Ma Ling rides on the “wind and fire wheels” and can “travel a thousand miles a day”. He also knows the “gold brick hitting method” and has a “demon eye” on his forehead.

Once this demon eye is opened, it will become indestructible and immune to physical damage.

Arrows and stones cannot hit!
