Several people quickly arrived at Shadow Cavern, and Cang Mo led Lin Qingyang into the dark underground in a familiar way, followed closely by several other people.
Shadow Cavern There were still noisy sounds echoing in the depths, but when Lin Qingyang walked in, he was shocked by the sight in front of him. The underground cave, which was originally glowing with green phosphorescence and gloomy and depressing, was now brightly lit.
Along both sides of the underground river, there are many flat stone tables. The monsters who were wrapped in rags and looked terrible are now gathered around the table in small groups, playing mahjong enthusiastically. The clatter and noise of shuffling cards are intertwined, just like a bustling underground market.
"This is the legendary Demon Clan black market?" Mo Yan looked at the scene in front of him and said in shock.
Lin Qingyang is also full of black lines. Obviously, since the last time he taught Stone Demon Di Ming to play mahjong, this old stone directly transformed the entire Shadow Cavern into a large chess and card room.
"Where is the Stone Demon you are talking about?" Ku Rong looked around and asked.
Cang Mo walked straight to an uneven stone wall nearby, tapped it with his fingers, and shouted, "Old man!"
The stone wall showed no reaction. Cang Mo frowned, raised his hand and slapped the stone wall. The strong wind directly caused a large crack on the stone wall.
After a while, an old man's angry voice came from the depths of the stone wall. "It's you wolf cub again!"
"I have something to ask you." Cang Mo said coldly.
"I don't have time, let's talk about it another day! Come on!" the voice replied impatiently, obviously in high spirits.
Cang Mo was too lazy to talk nonsense. A black light flashed in the palm of his hand, and Howling Moon Saber appeared instantly. He pressed the blade against the stone wall and said coldly, "If you don't come out, I will tear down your rotten place now."
"... It's really rude." Di Ming muttered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone wall in front of them began to move with a rumble, opening a narrow passage. Several people walked along the passage and came to a bright stone chamber.
Indoors, a stone old man was sitting on a large stone chair, fighting fiercely with three little demons at the table. When he saw Lin Qingyang coming in, the stone old man's eyes lit up, he dropped the cards in his hand and jumped down.
"Young man, you're here too! It's just the right time, come and play with me a few times." Di Ming said and was about to step forward to pull Lin Qingyang to sit down, but Cang Mo raised his hand to block it.
Cang Mo said solemnly, "I don't have time to spend time with you. I came here to ask you about something that happened five hundred years ago."
Di Ming sat back on the chair boredly and snorted, "I'm already this old, who still remembers the old sesame and rotten millet from hundreds of years ago."
Cang Mo frowned and was about to have a seizure when Lin Qingyang held down his wrist and took a step forward and said, "To be honest, senior, I am not going to die soon. This news may be able to save my life, so please do me a favor, senior."
When Di Ming heard this, he paused and looked at Lin Qingyang with complex eyes for a moment. Then he sighed, waved his hand, and drove out the three little monsters at the same table.
The stone room became quiet, Di Ming crossed his legs and asked, "Tell me, what exactly are you asking?"
Several people looked at each other, and Lin Qingyang said, "Senior, do you know whether the previous Demon King Cang Yu five hundred years ago had any lovers or people with whom he was extremely close?"
Di Ming was stunned for a moment. "You came all the way to me just to inquire about his gossip?"
"The thing that can save my life is probably in that person." Lin Qingyang said seriously.
Di Ming scratched the stone head with a somewhat embarrassed expression. "It's not that I won't tell you, it's actually... there are too many demons involved with that Cang Yu!"
Everyone was startled.
Di Ming curled his lips and recalled, "I think back then, in this Shadow Cavern, I could hear little demons coming and going talking about Cang Yu's romantic affairs every three days. What? He has provoked more than one fox demon, flower demon, cat demon, and even the wolf demon of the same clan. Not only that, he even kidnapped the beautiful female cultivator Human Clan and brought her to the demon world... It is said that he does not respect men and women."
The stone chamber fell into an eerie silence.
Mo Yan and Ku Rong looked at each other, and Jin Buhuan stopped shaking the folding fan in his hand.
Lin Qingyang turned to Cang Mo who was standing aside, and said faintly, "Didn't you say before that you Wolf Clan will only have one partner in your life?"
Cang Mo looked cold and stern just now, and said with some embarrassment, "He... may have impure blood."
Lin Qingyang:"..."
"Now we're in trouble." Ku Rong grabbed his sleeves anxiously, "He has so many good friends, so there's no way to find out who the person who took Nirvana Lotus is."
Jin Buhuan and Mo Yan also frowned, a little distressed.
Just when everyone was distressed, Di Ming seemed to remember something and recalled, "But I do remember another thing! I heard some old demons who were escaping from the war said that Cang Yu suddenly changed his temperament some time before his death. Like crazy, he began to attack Human Clan regardless of the consequences, and slaughtered several Human Clan immortal sects."
Mo Yan couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
Ku Rong wondered, "What does this have to do with the person we are looking for?"
"It does matter!" Lin Qingyang suppressed his smile and said thoughtfully, "Cang Yu snatched Nirvana Lotus to save people, but suddenly went crazy and started killing. It probably means... that he failed to save people in the end. And that person's death must be inseparable from the Human Clan, so he went to slaughter the immortal sect."
Jin Buhuan's eyes flashed, and he followed his train of thought, "If Cang Yu tried so hard to get back Nirvana Lotus, but failed to save his beloved in time. With his character, he would definitely We will not leave Nirvana Lotus to others. We will definitely bury Nirvana Lotus with that person. So, what we are looking for now is actually the tomb that Cang Yu built for that person."
"But in this huge world, who knows where he buried his people?" Ku Rong said with a wrinkled face.
Di Ming stroked the stone beard and said slowly, "Speaking of this, I remember that during that time he was also carrying out extensive construction work to build some kind of altar, and dug out a lot of stones from me."
Lin Qingyang was a little confused. "Altar?"
"It's the Moon Sacrifice Altar." Cang Mo's voice was low and his eyes drooped, "Wolf Clan worships the moon. According to legend, the moon has special power to bring the dead back to life... He must have been desperate to believe this."
Everyone was quiet for a moment. Demon King, who was once the most powerful person in the world, actually believed in those mythical legends when facing the death of his lover. Lin Qingyang couldn't help but glance at Cang Mo. What would happen to him if he was no longer there?
"Then Nirvana Lotus should be in that altar!" Ku Rong still only cares about Nirvana Lotus.
"Senior, do you know where the altar is?" Jin Buhuan also asked quickly.
Di Ming nodded. "I know that. In order to build the altar, he flattened an entire mountain, which shocked everyone here. That mountain is Demon Clan's highest mountain. It had no name at first. Later, when the top of the mountain disappeared, everyone called it - Headless Mountain!"
Lin Qingyang:"... Do you Demon Clan choose names so casually?"
