Chapter 733: Life and Death! Lord of All Demons
The capital city in August seemed extremely depressed, with white flags floating on both sides of the streets and pedestrians on the road barely visible.
According to the decree of the imperial court, the body of the Demonic Pillar will be kept in the [Taihe Hall] for seven days, and all commercial shops across the country will be closed for three days. All singing, dancing, and music are strictly prohibited. Anyone who violates this will be punished as a crime of lese majeste.
"This is a state funeral!" Zhou Dao couldn't help but sigh.
The Hall of Taihe is the place where only the coffins of members of the royal family can be laid after death.
This edict from the imperial court clearly shows the honor and favor towards the Demonic Pillar.
"The fall of the Demonic Pillar is a big deal. The trouble is still to come."
Along the way, the Ninth Prince had a sullen face.
Returning to the Yuyao Department, Zhou Dao saw that the door was closed and the once majestic and lively official office looked deserted.
For the Demon Control Division, the fall of the Demon Pillar was an unbearable burden, and everyone from top to bottom was sad.
"Sir, you are back!"
At this moment, two slaves dressed in white came forward.
Zhou Dao raised his eyes and saw that the two slaves had red lips and white teeth, and shiny skin. They looked like women. They looked like two father-in-laws.
Two palace attendants in white walked directly to Ma Yinglong and handed over a mourning dress.
"Huh!?" Zhou Dao was thoughtful.
"Lao Zhou, I'll go first."
Ma Yinglong was so lost that he only left one sentence and followed.
"The Ma family is quite well-informed. Just after you returned to Beijing, they thought of this demon master." The Ninth Prince looked at Ma Yinglong's retreating figure thoughtfully.
Nowadays, Ma Yinglong is not a small character. He killed all directions in Shiwan Mountain, established thousands of demon bones and remained undefeated, earned the name of demon master, and even entered the Taoist realm.
A master of this level can be considered an absolute top-level person in the Ma family.
Now that he has returned to Beijing, the Ma family will naturally send someone over.
"Why are there two palace men!?" Wang Xuanzhi was thoughtful and saw the clues.
According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, in addition to the royal princes, even the princes are not qualified to use slaves like eunuchs, otherwise it will be a serious crime of arrogance.
"You don't know?" The Ninth Prince was slightly surprised.
"what do you know?"
"Let's talk after we go in. This is not the place to talk." The Ninth Prince waved his hand.
Zhou Dao nodded in agreement and led everyone back to the Yuanwang Palace.
Since he was granted the title of king, acquired the fiefdom, established Yuanshi Mountain, and initiated the concept of peace, Lin Xiaoxiao, Da Lizi, Liu Nanxing, Li Renshan and others all moved to Yuanshi Mountain in the suburbs.
After Zhou Dao left, only the servants cleaned regularly.
After not returning for a long time, the quiet and solemn Yuanwang Hall seemed a little deserted.
The bronze-headed animal pattern lamp turned on the dim candlelight, illuminating the cold hall and making everyone's shadows grow long.
On such a day, it seems quite solemn.
"Lao Jiu, why did Lao Ma ask two palace servants to invite you?" Zhou Dao couldn't help but ask as soon as he sat down.
"Those two palace servants are servants of the Ma family!" the Ninth Prince said calmly.
"What?" Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
The servant is a eunuch, doesn't that mean...
"Perhaps you don't know that the Ma family is not only the best demon-sending family in the world, but also has an extremely distinguished and noble status. They are the blessed kings, one of the six kings of the Qin Dynasty!"
"Prince Fu!?" Zhou Dao's expression changed slightly.
He himself is the seventh king of Qin with a different surname, so he also knows a thing or two about the other six kings.
In the three thousand years of the Qin Dynasty, apart from him, there have only been six kings with different surnames.
[Pan Wang] and [Cheng Wang] were both granted the title of king because they assisted Emperor Wu in slaying Changsheng, Taiyi and Panhuang in the three great sects, and they became monks halfway.
In fact, there are only four true founders and kings, namely Wu Cangshan's biological father [King Wu], and Ji Yingshi's father [King Xu].
The other ones are [Fu Wang] and [Rong Wang].
Of course, there is no need to say more about the first two. As for [Prince Rong], Zhou Dao heard that he was a pure prince who had lived in the mountains for generations. He never participated in the disputes between the court and the Taoist sect. He was free from the mortal world. The idle prince.
Nowadays, the presence of Prince Rong's Mansion has been very low. Although he enjoys the salary and rewards from the court every year, he can almost be regarded as an outsider.
As for King Fu, Zhou Dao had rarely heard of it, and it was even difficult for him to find records about King Fu from relevant files.
He once thought that this prince might be like the honored prince, staying away from the court.
Three thousand years have passed, and even the world has gradually forgotten it.
"The Ma family is actually Prince Fu's palace?" Zhou Dao looked in disbelief.
The Ma family is the first demon-spelling family in the world. It is located in a temple and has such a prominent status. It is really unreasonable for outsiders to not know about it.
"Prince Fu is not an ordinary prince, but the head of the six kings of Qin."
The Ninth Prince said solemnly: "In those days, Taizu granted him the title of King of Fortune, which meant that he would enjoy great blessings all over the heavens and enjoy the blessings of Zuo, the Qin Kingdom."
"Such a favor!?"
Everyone was shocked. This is simply telling the world that your family can eat the food of Da Qin until they die. If I eat it, you will eat it. If future generations disobey it, they will betray the Taizu. promise.
"This is what Taizu himself said, and it is recorded in the official history of the palace."
The Ninth Prince said in a solemn voice: "The Ma family is well aware of the principle of being wise and protecting oneself. They have always deliberately avoided the favor of Taizu Danhua. Except for national ceremonies, he rarely appears in front of others with the honor of the blessed king."
"On the contrary, the name of the Ma family's demon-sealing family has increased more and more, and over time, it has reached its current situation."
"Oh my god, Lao Ma is actually a son of a prince..."
"I don't notice it usually. No wonder the last time I visited Tianxiang Tower, he acted like my own family. He has been a playboy since he was a child."
Wang Xuanzhi and Wang Xiaoyi looked at each other, but their faces were full of astonishment for a moment.
"No wonder there is a state funeral." Zhou Dao showed a look of surprise.
For the Demon Control Division, the fall was like a divine pillar.
But as far as the court was concerned, the person who died was a prince, and he was King Fu, the head of the six kings.
There is nothing better than this in life, glory and death.
"Will Lao Ma be able to inherit the throne when he comes back this time!?" Wang Xuanzhi suddenly asked.
With Ma Yinglong's current status and strength, it stands to reason that the rising tide should lift all boats within the Ma family.
If Ma Yinglong really succeeded to the throne of Prince Fu, wouldn't there be two princes in their group?
"Damn it, then we can walk sideways in the capital from now on." Wang Xiaoyi started to get excited.
The two princes are both from the lineage of the Demon Control Division. They have so much energy that they can even form their own party in the court.
"It's unlikely." Zhou Dao frowned slightly and said softly.
The inheritance system of a large clan is extremely strict, and the requirements for blood origin are written in the clan laws.
As far as he knew, Ma Yinglong was from a side branch and was not from a noble family.
Back then, he left the clan because he didn't have the talent to seal demons.
"You are right." The Ninth Prince nodded.
"The Ma family is not an ordinary aristocratic family, nor is it an ordinary prince. The internal factions and hierarchies are extremely complicated."
"Strength is only part of the conditions for forming a class. This clan values bloodline more than any other clan in the world."
The Ninth Prince knew the first demon-sealing family better than anyone else.
"What age is it? Lao Ma is now a strong Taoist." Wang Xiaoyi didn't care.
"No matter what era, to outsiders, such rules seem pedantic and ridiculous, but they don't know that this is proof of a truly noble family..."
"This is the flag they have erected for endless years..."
The Ninth Prince said solemnly: "The poor family doesn't know the law and principles, but they want to go to heaven and break the rules."
Wang Xiaoyi narrowed his eyes slightly and stopped talking.
"When I say this, you may not feel comfortable..." The Ninth Prince was so thoughtful that he immediately noticed the change in everyone's mood.
"But if you knew the history of the Ma family, you wouldn't think so."
"In terms of origin, this family is more ancient and prominent than our royal family..."
The Ninth Prince whispered softly.
"As early as when the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world, the Ma family was already one of the thirty-three great families in the world. Although it is not among the first-class families, it still has a long history and its ability to seal monsters is unparalleled in the world."
"An ancient noble family!?" Zhou Dao was surprised.
Before the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the power of powerful families was unimaginable. A single thought could even change the throne of the emperor.
The country, the country, and the destiny of all people are just a game of competition between them.
"The Ma family actually has such a history."
Wang Xuanzhi couldn't help but sigh, he was also born in the capital, but he had never heard of such a secret.
"Of course ordinary people don't know that after Taizu founded the country, almost all the thirty-three major families in the world were killed." The Ninth Prince explained.
"The reason why the Ma family is able to stay and is even more favored than the previous dynasty is because their family has an extraordinary person."
"Master Mazu!?"
Zhou Dao couldn't help but be moved. As a junior of the Demonic Pillar and a senior member of the Demon Control Department, he had seen relevant records in the secret file.
According to legend, Taizu was born in his youth. When he was young, he once made acquaintance with a disciple of the Ma family. The two were close in age and became close friends.
Given the Ma family's status at that time, it seemed a bit deviant to outsiders to make friends with such recklessness.
But later, the development of history exceeded everyone's expectations.
It was that kind of reckless young man who was worthy of a hundred years, stirred up the world, destroyed the Zhou royal family, and established an immortal kingdom for three thousand years.
Riding on this trend, the Ma family made contributions to the founding of the country and won the favor of the emperor. Not only did it leap out of the thirty-three great families, it even became the first of the four founding kings.
As for the young man back then, he was regarded by the Ma family as the hero of the rebirth of the clan. He was listed as the first ancestor, named "Mazu Zunshen", and he was the highest in the ancestral hall and enjoyed endless incense for future generations.
"This is your lord, the first blessing king of the Great Qin royal family, who is regarded as the ancestor of the Ma family." The ninth prince said solemnly.
"To be honest, given Taizu's temperament, if the Ma family didn't have this person, I'm afraid they would end up like other aristocratic families, with everyone slaughtered and no one left alive."
"Time is destiny!" Zhou Dao sighed.
"What I want to tell you today is this Lord Mazu!"
"Huh!?" Zhou Dao was stunned.
"Is the fall of the demon pillar still related to this ancestor?"
"The relationship is too great." The Ninth Prince suddenly took action, and the powerful magic power was like a big net, instantly covering the Yuanwang Palace.
"Have you entered the Tao realm!?"
Zhou Dao moved slightly, looking at the Ninth Prince with deep meaning.
He remembered that when he left the capital, the Ninth Prince was only at the Dragon Gate level.
"It's just a fluke." The Ninth Prince didn't take it seriously and continued what he just said.
"The Ma family's bloodline is extremely special. Their blood is naturally capable of restraining monsters, and this is how the demon-sealing clan comes from."
This is an innate talent, the ability to seal demons with spirit and blood, and there is no one in the world who can match it.
It is precisely because of this terrifying ability that the Ma family was ranked among the thirty-three great families in the world during the Zhou Dynasty.
However, in that life, a freak came out of the Ma family. Not only could his blood not restrain monsters, but it was actually a great tonic for those monsters, which could be used to refine the Tao and achieve immeasurable realms.
Such a freak is not only an anomaly in the Ma family, but also a shame.
Eventually, he left the clan and wandered abroad, where he met another reckless young man.
"Taizu!?" Zhou Dao said subconsciously.
The Ninth Prince nodded.
"A down-and-out disciple of aristocratic family, a surly and reckless young man...these two people collided with each other and created extraordinary sparks. They formed a deep friendship when they were at their peak, so much so that on the road of spiritual practice, opportunities came to pass. Continuously…”
"That weirdo from the Ma family gradually found his own path with the help of Taizu."
Having said this, the Ninth Prince's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing deep awe.
"Taizu unintentionally created an unparalleled strong man, and that supreme existence affected the pattern of that era..."
"Master Mazu!"
"That freak didn't realize the terrifying potential hidden in his body before he met Taizu. His blood was naturally similar to that of a monster..."
"On that day, Taizu encountered a powerful enemy. His physical body was almost completely destroyed, and his soul was about to disappear. The first-generation commander-in-chief fell into the abyss, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead..."
"It was in that desperate situation that the freak finally burst out with abilities he had never shown before..."
"What?" Wang Xiaoyi asked subconsciously.
"He can make all demons surrender, like a king coming..."
"This kind of power became stronger and stronger in the following years, and finally... that freak finally entered the Tao, and achieved a supreme reputation that was enough to transcend that era..."
"Lord of all demons!"
The Ninth Prince's lips slightly opened and he spoke a name.
This is a taboo name, especially for the demon clan, it is a past that cannot be mentioned.
Once upon a time, the supreme being who ruled over hundreds of thousands of mountains and ruled over tens of thousands of monster clans was actually a human being.
"Is it so awesome!?" Wang Xiaoyi was stunned.
Ma Yinglong's ancestor actually had such a glorious past, ruling the world and being the lord of all demons.
How precious is this status! ?
"When Taizu split the world's demon tribes and divided the seventy-two caves, he relied on the power of God Mazu."
The Ninth Prince said solemnly: "He is naturally in tune with monsters, controls all monster races, communicates with the spirits of mountains and seas, has strong spiritual thoughts, fills the universe, and is almost everywhere..."
"Finally, one day, the adult of the Ma family discovered a secret."
"What secret!?" Zhou Dao's heart moved slightly. He knew that this was the main topic that the Ninth Prince wanted to talk about today.
"He discovered that there is a secret suppressed under the mountain mansion of the nine Taoist sects."
"What secret!?"
"Under the nine spiritual mountains, each has a coffin!
! "
"Black coffin!"
The Ninth Prince's voice was like the cold air of winter, instantly filling Zhou Dao's heart.
"Black coffin!?"
