Chapter 14 Searching for Demons
Chapter 14: Searching for Demons
"Is it necessary to make the demons so nervous when they do something?" I said with a funny look when seeing Taibai Jinxing's nervous look: "The heavenly court cannot even solve the demons, right? If you said you were attacked by demons before, you might be a little worried about being attacked by demons. It seems that there is no problem at this moment, right?"
Taibai Jinxing shook his head helplessly: "You should go with me to meet the Jade Emperor, and you will know then."
Seeing that Taibai Jinxing looked like he was pretending, I felt that something serious had happened, so I immediately followed Taibai Jinxing to the Heavenly Court. Using the teleportation array, we quickly arrived at the Lingxiao Temple. However, strangely, there were not the situation where the gods and immortals were everywhere. I only saw a few familiar faces, all of which were famous figures in the Heavenly Court. No little gods and fairies appeared here, which seemed different from the usual Heavenly Court meeting.
After seeing me, the Jade Emperor waved his hand outside, and the god generals and the fairy goddess servants next to him turned around and left the hall. It seemed that something really happened. The Jade Emperor drove all these people out obviously because the matter was so serious that ordinary gods could not be known to ordinary gods. Such a big thing happened at most twice in the history of the Heavenly Court. One of them was when the Black Qilin was suppressed, and the other was when the Demon King was suppressed. Wait, when I thought of the Demon King, I suddenly had some thoughts.
"Jade Emperor, don't you know what's wrong with calling me to come?"
The Jade Emperor asked back, "With your intelligence and intelligence, can't you see anything?"
"I can only see that something big happened in the Heavenly Court, but it is something that is so important that it cannot be promoted to the outside world. However, the Heavenly Court has many secrets, and I can't think of what it takes to be so cautious."
"You are not stupid." The Jade Emperor winked at Taibai Jinxing, and Taibai Jinxing immediately said to me: "You have reminded us to be careful of the demons who came to attack while we were fighting with Buddhism. As a result, we arranged heavy troops to defend the Heavenly Court. Even Master Hong Jun and I stayed to guard the Heavenly Court to prevent accidents, but unexpectedly, the matter happened. It was just that we did not launch a frontal attack as we thought."
"It's not a head-on attack? Did they do anything to sneak into the heaven?"
"You can guess very accurately." Taibai Jinxing said: "The demon used the trick of digging the tiger away from the mountain to lure me and leader Hong Jun, and then sent the masters to steal some things."
I frowned and didn't ask, "Who is so powerful that he can lead Master Hong Jun and me away? Are there such a powerful person among the demons?"
Taibai Jinxing nodded: "Here is the leader of Tongtian and Pluto of the Great Wheel."
"What?"
I have seen the Great Wheel Pluto. When she was in Buddhism, she was a master of a kind. Even Tathagata could not say that she was stable. It was not difficult to lead one of the two masters in the Heavenly Court. As for the other one, his identity was even more interesting. The Master Tongtian is actually one of the disciples of Master Hong Jun. Master Hong Jun has three disciples in total, and the eldest disciple is Laozi. The latter two disciples, one is Yuanshi Tianzun, and the other is the Master Tongtian. However, with
Yuanshi Tianzun is different from me. The Tongtian Sect Master is just a traitor. He opposed it if the leader Hong Jun agreed. He was completely fighting against the landlord. However, ordinary strange people must have abnormalities. Although the leader Tongtian Sect Master is very rebellious, his qualifications are really good. He may be the most powerful among the three disciples of the leader Hong Jun. If he was the bait, even Yuanshi Tianzun would probably chase him together here. It is not difficult to attract these two masters.
Taibai Jinxing said to me: "After leading the two immortal masters who were in charge, the remaining demon masters secretly sneaked into the heavenly court. Then they not only stole the demon king's magic power Xuanzhu, but also stole some demonic weapons in the secret hidden place of the heavenly court. The most hateful thing is that they even kidnapped Fairy Chang'e."
Damn! The demons and the Heavenly Court are indeed all the goods. When the Heavenly Court was first built, they snatched all the demons' treasures. However, because the gods could not use demon weapons, they were all sealed. Now, the demons' retrieval of those things is not strictly considered stealing, but from the perspective of the Heavenly Court, it is even more atrocity than stealing. As for Chang'e, it is hard to say. Chang'e was originally considered a scattered immortal, but there was no right position at all. The reason why she lived in Guanghan Palace should actually be regarded as a family dispute between the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. Chang'e is a gold worship girl who dreams of flying to the branch to be a phoenix. The Jade Emperor belongs to the type of rich man. The Queen Mother is strict in control, so the Jade Emperor cannot eat swan meat
, and he didn't want others to eat, so he had to put Chang'e in custody as a canary. The demon kidnapped Chang'e, whose purpose was probably similar to that of the Jade Emperor. Everyone loves beauty, and demons are no exception. Besides, this may not be a kidnapping. Chang'e wanted to go to heaven and become a god, but later she found out that she could not be a phoenix and became a prisoner, so she was naturally unhappy. This happened to let her encounter a demon swept the heavenly court this time. It was not impossible for her to hook up with a demon and let others take her away. But speaking of it, just to throw something, the heavenly court's reaction seemed to be too big, which was obviously abnormal. I think the Jade Emperor should have nothing to tell me.
"Jade Emperor." I said respectfully: "Is there any hidden secret in the Heavenly Court? This situation seems to make you anxious, right?"
"You are really smart." The Jade Emperor looked at me and said, "There are not only those things that were stolen, but also this one." The Jade Emperor took a piece of jade out of a box beside him.
Taibai Jinxing handed the jade into my hands. I tossed and turned but couldn't see any reason. "This... I don't understand. Since it was stolen, what is this?"
"There should have been three pieces, but now there is only one piece left." The Jade Emperor said: "I asked you to come for it. After the demons took this thing, they hid it. No matter how we look for it, we can't find it. Even if we use the magic of Dashuo Tianxia, we are still powerless."
"Then..." I drew for a long time: "Is there nothing to explain?" I shook the jade.
"I think you still don't know." The Jade Emperor said seriously.
I thought for a moment. "So what do I need to do?"
"Find the place where the demons hide, even if they give clues, the soldiers in the Heavenly Court can be dispatched at will, and you only need to provide information."
I nodded and stretched out three fingers: "Three conditions."
"Speak and listen."
"First, according to the old rules, I can't be in vain."
"No problem." Jade Emperor said: "You can get 10% of the last spoils. And you can choose first."
I nodded: "Secondly, I need the power of defense. The demons are no longer as easy to approach as they did when they first came out. At that time, they were imprisoned for tens of thousands of years. After they came out, they were unfamiliar with me and they were very dependent on me, so they were very polite to me. But now they already know this world very well, and for this matter in the heaven and earth, I had a very unhappy relationship with my acquaintances among the demons. Besides, the actual rights among the demons have been transferred, and my old friends may not be able to speak for me."
The Jade Emperor quickly said, "I will let Baihu and Xuanwu go with you. I will give you another special order to bring your white jade unicorn with you."
"Then there is the last and most important one."
"You just say it."
"The Jade Emperor also knows that I have many friends among the demons. Although the quarrels between me and my demon friends this time were not very happy, it was just a disagreement in opinions, not our relationship had changed, so I hope I can let my demon friends go."
This time, the Jade Emperor was not as readily as before. He thought for a long time before saying, "I can't fully agree to you this." Seeing that I was about to speak, he immediately took the lead and said, "Don't be anxious, I didn't say I didn't agree at all, I just needed to modify the content."
"Please tell me the Jade Emperor."
"You have to protect your friends, there is nothing to say, but the Heavenly Court also needs to eliminate the threat. So, there are a few masterminds that you cannot protect."
"Who are there any people I want to protect?"
Jade Emperor and Taibai Jinxing discussed it for a while, and then said, "I don't make things difficult for you. As long as the leader of Tongtian, the Peacock King, the White Elephant King, the Golden Lion King and the Eternal Demon King, you can choose any other demons. However, you must let them join your guild. If you follow you, they will be ordinary demons. If they are just released, they will cause trouble to the heavenly court, so you must convince them to join your guild. If the person you want to protect does not agree, then I will not blame me."
I nodded: "I am very grateful that the Jade Emperor can do this. So please ask the two holy beasts to come to Aisinger to find me. I will set off immediately as soon as they arrive."
The Jade Emperor reminded again: "Remember. What we want are those two pieces of jade, and we must confirm where they are."
"clear."
After leaving the Heavenly Court, I returned to the Gangcheng first. The strengthening and transformation project of Ziyun Mountain still required me to determine some details. Baihu and Xuanwu arrived at Aisinger in about half an hour. After receiving the notice, I rushed back to Aisinger. The two of them had already learned about the incident in the Heavenly Court, so I didn't have to say anything else. After taking the permission letter they brought to Yinxue for reading it, the system ban was officially lifted. I can temporarily take Yinxue out of the sphere of influence of the guild to go out for activities.
After all the three thugs were ready, I did not rush to take them out to find the demon's nest, but first went to the combat command room of our guild, with a super-large world map on the ground here. In addition, we can even check the location of a house in a certain city separately. I brought Xuanwu and the others here to confirm the possible hiding place of the demon.
Although I don’t know what the two stolen jades are for, since the demons have stole such important things, it is impossible for them to hide in their original nest. The demons used to live in the place where the demons were to the earth. The heavenly court must know the place. They went back there and fell into the trap. The demons were not that stupid.
Xuanwu, Baihu, and Yinxue had never seen the combat command center of our guild. They were very curious about the environment of this place, but only Yinxue could touch and see it everywhere. Xuanwu and Baihu knew that they were not members of our guild. In order to avoid embarrassment, they naturally would not ask me questions.
"Is there something to come to me again?" As soon as I entered the room, the God of War asked without raising his head.
I roughly talked about the demons and asked, "The demons must be no longer in place now. I hope you can give me a possible hiding place to speculate."
The War God pressed the crystal console a few times, and three-dimensional images of four spheres immediately appeared on the open space in the middle of the room. I could easily tell that the four spheres were the earth, the moon, the red planet and the gray planet. Unexpectedly, the War God actually added the information of these two planets during this period.
While operating, the War God analyzed: "The demons do not understand the situation of other planets, and they do not have the ability to enter the moon, so the scope is initially determined to be the earth." The other three planets in the center of the room gradually fade away, then moved to the center and magnified. The War God continued: "This world is controlled by many forces. In this period, demons rashly enter the control range of other forces and can easily cause war, and the Heavenly Court is catching them. It should not feel very good to be affected by the enemy from both sides, so they will not enter the control range of other countries."
Baihu asked, "What do you mean is that they are still within my Chinese domain?"
The God of War shook his head and said, "It's not entirely true. I just said that they did not enter the territory of other countries, but this does not mean that they did not leave the territory of China, because there is still a small part of the unowned land in this world."
Baihu and Xuanwu kept nodding after hearing this. Obviously, they had never expected this situation before.
The War God continued: "Although they may not be within the Chinese scope, it is only possible. It is not necessarily not there, so we take out the possible areas separately." The picture in front of us flashed, and some of the unowned areas around China and the surrounding areas were turned into flat images and displayed separately. The War God pointed to the picture and said to us: "According to the information I have, demons have a lot of demand for spiritual energy, and they plan to confront the heaven head-on. So they cannot enter an area without spiritual energy. I lightened the area where the spiritual energy is thin and not suitable for them to establish a base, and the remaining highlighted areas are the possible areas."
The picture in front of us suddenly became much clearer as soon as the War God dealt with this. Aura is very rare, otherwise the Heavenly Court would not have been so powerful with Buddhism. Therefore, removing the areas without spiritual energy. In fact, 99% of China's areas have been removed, and the rest are just hundreds of points.
Xuanwu said: "Zi Ri, the equipment here is really convenient, and your friends have a good brain, which saves us a lot of trouble. We go to search for these hundreds of points separately, and we should be able to search them all within seven days."
I shook my head and said, "You can't find the demon without me, and I can't come back to report the news without you, so we can't separate at all."
Xuanwu said with some regret: "If this happens, the time may be long!"
The War God interrupted us and said, "There is no need at all. There are 731 points in the picture, and most of them are directly under the territory of heaven and earth. Or the cultivation sites of the scattered immortals. You just need to ask the Jade Emperor to issue an order to let these sites return information. If there is no normal return information in any place, it means that it has been occupied by the demons."
"You are so smart!" Xuanwu said: "It's half missing now! I'll ask the Jade Emperor to issue an order." Xuanwu took out a white jade pendant, then said something to the jade pendant, and then looked up and said to us: "The Jade Emperor said he would issue an order immediately and tell us the specific situation in an hour."
Military God said: "In this way, you don't need to worry about the spiritual gathering points controlled by the Heavenly Court. Let's remove it." The picture is now much more variable and refreshing. There are only about one hundred points left in the entire China and surrounding areas. Military God continued without waiting for us to speak: "The remaining 123 gathering points are big and small. The number of people in the demon land is very large, and at this time we have to concentrate to prepare for war. So it is unlikely that the land is everywhere, at most, three to five relatively close strongholds controlled, or all of them are gathered together. Based on this, let us remove those places where the places are not big enough or the spiritual energy is not too strong, so that there are only thirteen possible targets left."
Thirteen dots on the screen are shown in red, eleven of which are in China, and two, one on the sea and one on the Indian side of the Himalayas. However, they are all unmanned lands, so there is no problem with belonging.
"Even if you look for thirteen goals one by one, it will only take only one day." Yin Xue said happily.
The War God added: "It may also be that the Heavenly Court directly reported that it was discovered that the target was discovered, so you don't necessarily need to go out and look for it, and these thirteen points can still be streamlined."
"Can you still remove some?"
The War God nodded. "One of these thirteen points is the place where demons gathered before. The Jade Emperor informed you that someone had sent someone to check it before looking for the demons, so this point can be eliminated. Two of the remaining twelve points were occupied by the player guild, and one belongs to the Dark Temple, so there are only nine real targets." The points that were eliminated on the screen gradually faded away, and the remaining nine points were displayed separately.
"Then let's search these nine areas." Xuanwu said.
The War God took a special crystal pen and drew it on the screen in front of him. The three-dimensional image we saw also appeared simultaneously in the three-dimensional image, and three of them were forked. The White Tiger asked in surprise: "Why remove three more?"
"Because these three are medium-sized strongholds, although they can be used as sub-strongholds, because their location is too passive, as long as the demons have some brains, they will not choose these three places."
Yinxue asked excitedly: "That means there are only six points that need to be investigated, right?"
"Yes." Military Shinto said: "In my reasoning mode, there is no way to eliminate more areas, and the remaining six areas are possible. But I suggest you check in this order." The points on the screen were numbered one by one. "This is my analysis based on the previous behavior patterns of the demons and the information you provided. As long as there is no low-probability hit, you are 70% sure to find the traces of the demons at the first point."
As a battlefield management computer, the War God condenses the most cutting-edge information in our country, as well as biological, electronic technology, battlefield simulation, enemy behavior calculation, and various tactic analysis, all of which are its main tasks. Let us ask him to help find the location of the demon now, which is actually equivalent to calculating the possible hiding place of the enemy in real life. If Xuanwu and I went out this time and really found the demon once, it means that the War God can rely on very rough intelligence to analyze the general position and movement of the enemy. Such a super computer is even more awesome than a spy satellite. You can also use various camouflage methods to deal with a spy satellite, but the War God relies entirely on calculation, and it is useless to disguise it.
It is much easier to deal with with detailed information, and it is much better than pretending to be like a headless fly. Many people have always known that our motherland is very big, but it is difficult for people who have not really traveled to imagine how big our motherland is. If there is no information about the military god and we are not lucky, we may not be able to find the right place even if we look for it for a year.
After waiting for about an hour in Aisinger, the reply from Heaven finally arrived. All the sacred mountains have already been rewarded, and no demons have been found. The owners of those sacred mountains are local gods. It is impossible for the demons to exist safely on their land without being discovered, not to mention that they are not one or two demons, so they cannot hide them.
