137 The Great Desert Steward? A Very Fierce Monk?
After hearing the system’s voice, Wang Mang became certain that the Black Mountain King was not lying.
Thinking of this, Wang Mang pondered for a moment before deciding to accept the mission.
After all, he had to rely on himself to become stronger!
2,000 evolution values.
He was one step closer to evolution.
Therefore, Wang Mang muttered in his heart, “System, I choose Mission 3!”
The next moment, the system’s familiar voice sounded again: [Ding! Host has successfully chosen a mission. Please complete the mission as soon as possible and obtain the reward!]
After making his choice, Wang Mang looked at the Black Mountain King.
At this moment, the Black Mountain King was also looking at Wang Mang, waiting for his reply.
“Let’s work together and get the Knotweed King. How are we going to split it?”
Hearing Wang Mang’s words, the Black Mountain King said matter-of-factly, “Of course we will do it 60-40!”
Wang Mang’s eyes lit up. “60 for me and 40 for you? Not bad.”
The Black Mountain King’s mouth twitched, and he said with a black face, “It’s 60 for me, and 40 for you!”
Wang Mang, who was originally in a good mood, was instantly displeased. “You’re dreaming!”
“Why 60 for you and 40 for me?”
The Black Mountain King explained matter-of-factly, “Of course it’s because I’m stronger than you!”
“Bullsh*t! Are you stronger than me? Didn’t I beat you up so badly that you ran away last time?”
“If you’re not convinced, let’s fight again!”
With that, Wang Mang was eager to give it a try.
He had already evolved twice and was already eager to have a rematch.
At the same time, his evolution strength had increased greatly this time. He was just worried about not having an opponent.
After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the Black Mountain King was speechless.
He realized that Wang Mang was really the same kind of person as him. He simply had no sense of shame at all.
The Black Mountain King, who had always been shameless, felt that he had found a confidant after meeting Wang Mang.
After all, it was rare to find someone as shameless as Wang Mang.
However, after carefully scanning him, he discovered that Wang Mang’s aura was much stronger than before.
This caused the Black Mountain King to be shocked in his heart. Had this fellow’s strength improved so quickly?
At the thought of this, the Black Mountain King relented and said, “How about this? We’ll split it equally! That’s fair enough, right?”
Faced with the Black Mountain King’s concession, Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction and said, “This is easy for me to agree to!”
Wang Mang’s words almost made the Black Mountain King unable to restrain himself from attacking again.
He realized that he was really inferior to the Python Demon King in terms of shamelessness.
However, when he thought about how this was all for the sake of the Knotweed King, he could only endure it.
As for Wang Mang, the reason why he agreed so easily was mainly because he was jealous of this Knotweed King.
At the same time, he also wanted to know how many demon kings there were in his province.
After all, the Black Bear Demon King knew the situation in his province better than him.
In addition, he had another mission, which was to defeat all the demon kings in the province. Therefore, he naturally had to observe them first.
“Let’s go! Since we’re planning to fight for the Knotweed King, it’s best to go early.”
“Stone Demon King and Turtle Demon King have already set off. We can’t be too slow.”
Seeing that Wang Mang had no objections, the Black Bear Demon King urged.
Hearing this, Wang Mang nodded his head and followed the Black Mountain King.
On the way, Wang Mang couldn’t help but ask about the demon kings of his province.
In the face of Wang Mang’s inquiry, the Black Bear Daemon King said disapprovingly, “There should be nine demon kings in this province.”
“You, me, Stone Demon King, Turtle Demon King, and five others are in the waters of Jianghu.”
“As far as I know, there are five demon kings in the water. One of them is a crocodile, and the other is a python demon king, just like you.”
After hearing this, Wang Mang finally understood the situation regarding the demon kings in his province.
He did not expect there to be so many demon kings in the province!
In addition to the dead Tree Demon King, didn’t that mean that there had been ten rare demon kings in this province?
This caused Wang Mang to be filled with shock.
He had heard that in an ordinary province, there were usually only four or five demon kings!
At this moment, the Black Bear Demon King could clearly see Wang Mang’s confusion and surprise.
Therefore, the Black Bear Demon King slowly explained, “This is nothing. There are more demon kings in the sea.”
“The place with the most demon kings on land is the Greater Khingan Mountain Range, as well as the waters of the Yellow River and Yangtze River.”
“Moreover, in the Yellow River and Yangtze River, there are not only demon kings! There are even ghost kings!”
Upon hearing the Black Bear Demon Monarch’s words, Wang Mang was shocked. “There are even ghost kings? What is that?”
“Could it be that there really is a netherworld?”
Upon hearing Wang Mang’s words, the Black Bear Demon King shook his head and said,
“No, there is no underworld during the Shang Dynasty.
“But it did exist in the past!”
After hearing the Black Bear Demon King’s confirmation, Wang Mang couldn’t help but be curious.
“How can you be so sure that the underworld exists?”
The Black Bear Demon King couldn’t help but snap, “Of course it’s because I’ve met from the underworld.”
“You know of reapers, right? I’ve seen them before.”
“Furthermore, I’ve dealt with a ghost king before.
“But those ghost kings are really very difficult to deal with.
“They can freely switch between reality and illusion, but they don’t have a physical body. They’re very difficult to deal with.
“Especially after Daoism declined, these ghosts became even more rampant.
“They’re much more arrogant than us demons.”
After hearing the Black Bear Demon King’s words, Wang Mang sighed.
As expected of someone who had lived for more than 3,000 years!
This knowledge and experience was far from what Wang Mang could compare to!
At this moment, the Black Bear Demon King seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said,
“Oh right! There were also very powerful figures among these people.
“Before I became a demon king, I heard of a monk who was very powerful.”
“I think he was called Dharma, the Grand Desert Steward…”
Wang Mang was stunned for a long time before he couldn’t help but ask, “Dharma?”
“Don’t tell me the monk you’re talking about is Patriarch Dharma?”
After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the Black Bear Demon King nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, yes, yes. That’s the monk.”
“I heard that this monk wanted to cross the river, but he was stopped by a Flood Dragon King in the river. Eventually, the Flood Dragon King was killed by this monk.”
“This monk is very fierce! At that time, that Flood Dragon King had more than 4,000 years of cultivation!”
Hearing this, Wang Mang was completely dumbfounded.
Could this be the legendary story of Patriarch Bodhidharma crossing the river on a reed?
But why was it different from the tales?
Furthermore, Wang Mang was certain.
The monk mentioned by the Black Bear Demon King was probably Bodhidharma, the Patriarch of Zen Buddhism.
At the thought of this, Wang Mang couldn’t help but become curious. He quickly asked, “What happened after that? Did Monk Bodhidharma really become a Buddha?”
Upon hearing Wang Mang’s words, the Black Bear Demon Monarch sneered. “It’s not that easy to become an immortal or a Buddha!”
“But that desert monk was really fierce.”
“At that time, many demon kings didn’t dare to provoke him. I don’t know what happened to that monk after that.”
“However, many demon kings of the older generation said that this ferocious monk is the most likely to be an Earth Immortal…”
