"A scorpion demon?" Princess's strategist Li Huixin was taken aback.
The most famous scorpion demon in "Wuxia World: The Battle for the Prison City" comes from the storyline of "The Kingdom of Women" in the Journey to the West.
The story goes that the female demon of the Pipa Cave on Poisonous Mountain in the Western Liang Kingdom was originally a scorpion demon from Leiyin Temple. Because she didn't clasp her hands in prayer while listening to Buddhist scriptures, the Buddha casually pushed her, and she stung him with her poisonous stinger. The Buddha ordered his Vajra to capture her, so she escaped to the Pipa Cave on Poisonous Mountain near the Western Liang Kingdom. When Tang Sanzang and his disciples passed through the Women's Kingdom, the scorpion demon used a whirlwind to abduct Tang Sanzang, intending to marry him. Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie came to the rescue, but the scorpion demon wielded a three-pronged steel fork, breathing fire from her nose and exhaling smoke from her mouth. Even the combined efforts of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were no match for her. Later, following the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Sun Wukong sought out the scorpion demon's nemesis, the Pleiades Star Lord, and the scorpion demon was finally defeated.
From the original text of Journey to the West alone, we can see that the Scorpion Demon was beautiful and had boundless lustful charm. She was described as having "a beautiful face," "a face of golden pearls," "lively and lively, full of spring-like energy," and "like soft jade, warm and fragrant, clinging to the chest and intertwined with the phoenix, flaunting her fragrant and smooth skin." This clearly demonstrates that the Scorpion Demon was incredibly beautiful and had an unbridled capacity for lust. She was thus called a "lustful demon" and a "demon of lust."
Conversely, the Scorpion Demon's actions are often fiery and impulsive, driven by a desire for revenge. Once, while listening to Buddhist teachings at the Thunderclap Temple in the Western Paradise, she was so enraged by a mere push from Buddha that she stabbed him in excruciating pain. Of course, her willingness to vent her grievances without fear of power is also related to her formidable magical abilities. Even after escaping to the Poisonous Enemy Mountain and taking refuge in the Pipa Cave of the Western Liang Kingdom, this fiercely independent woman, who refused to bow to gods or Buddhas, displayed remarkable tenderness and gentleness before her chosen lover, Tang Sanzang, employing every means to win his heart—truly a woman of strong emotions.
Speaking of this female demon, even Wu Chen would find it difficult to kill her.
"That's right." Elder Gu Xianniang, who was "observant in all directions and had ears to hear everything," was sure that the information was accurate.
“In that case, let’s go to Yunmeng Cave tonight.” Right Protector Xiahou Ying then made his decision.
"Understood!" The entire Demon Hunter Sect responded in unison.
To prevent demons from sneaking in at night, the defenses of Shizipo are essential. Jia Yuan Temple, Qianlongfang, Jileguan, and Huitiange are all locked up early, their gates and doors fortified with iron walls. Traps and traps are everywhere on and off Shizipo. One move can have far-reaching consequences. The goal is to ensure that any demons entering the painted murals have no chance of escape. After all, unlike in games, there are no safe zones in the painted mural world. Otherwise, a whole family of wolf demons wouldn't have attacked them if they ventured into the painted murals.
Furthermore, the lanterns at Shizipo are hung high, their light as bright as day, leaving no place for thieves to hide. This also serves as a warning against the darkness under the lamplight.
That night, Right Protector Xiahou Ying and Left Protector Sai Xiaojing led the three hall masters, Xue Niang, Nong Niang, and Mei Niang, to hunt demons in the Yunmeng Cave in a mechanical cloud chariot.
Some people may worry that "Third Sister Hall Master" has just joined and should not be trusted.
But that's not the case. The three snake spirits were deeply in love, having cultivated for a thousand years before taking human form. Now that they've reunited on the painted wall, their bond is stronger than gold; how could they easily betray each other? As long as Xue Niang remains true to her original intentions, Nong Niang and Mei Niang will naturally stick together through thick and thin, never abandoning each other. Once they break through the wall, burn the card, and solidify into the three new stars of Wu Chen's natal Scorpio constellation, there will be no more worries.
Moreover, in this day and age, people value promises more than death, so how could they easily break their word?
Yunmeng Cave was originally an unnamed grotto. Later, as the world of mural painting grew stronger, one day the three characters "Yunmeng Cave" appeared out of nowhere. From then on, this thousand-year-old wolf demon's lair was called "Yunmeng Cave".
The wolf demon Granny Yun is not her real name. Because of her high level of magical power and the fact that she attained enlightenment the earliest, she is respectfully called "Granny".
Among the Yun sisters, the second sister is Yun Qimeng, the third sister is Yun Chunmeng, and the fourth sister is Yun Yumeng. Grandma Yun, as the eldest sister, named herself "Yun Jingmeng," meaning "grand and magnificent." "Jingmeng" means "great dream."
In fact, the wolf demon and the Yun sisters are not related by blood. However, due to their bond, the wolf demon adopted Yun as its surname.
This is also a common method for naming fairies. For example, the fox spirits, who originally had no name or surname, had their primordial spirits residing in a "Hongji Yonggu Zhiqing Stele" within the Chen family mansion. Therefore, the two sisters took Chen as their surname and each took one character from "Zhiqing" to be named "Changzhi" and "Xiaoqing". It is said that even mortals often took their place of origin as their surname when they first named themselves.
Yunmeng Cave was pitch black, with the cave entrance tightly shut.
There was no one around, not a soul in sight. Even the little demons patrolling the area had vanished without a trace.
As a powerful demon in the world of murals, though she dares not call herself a demon king, her demonic power has greatly increased since consuming the flesh of Jia Yuanshen. She will be able to break free from the mural in forty-nine days and rule the mortal realm. At such a crucial moment, she was attacked. And it seems she not only failed to gain any advantage but also suffered a great loss. This foreign scorpion demon possesses such supernatural powers, which does indeed live up to her formidable title of "The Demoness of Love and Lust."
"The cave entrance is tightly shut, what should we do?" Inside the contraption that had been cleverly disguised, Left Protector Sai Xiaojing asked quietly.
"Jingmei, please be patient. We will have a plan soon," said Xiahou Ying, the Right Protector, with a smile.
"Could it be that Sister Ying had already made arrangements?" Left Protector Sai Xiaojing's beautiful eyes lit up.
"Exactly." Right Protector Xiahou Ying nodded with a smile, a gesture also intended to prevent spoilers.
A moment later, the cave door slowly opened. The guardian fox demon of Yunmeng Cave tiptoed out. "Ah..." Left Guardian Sai Xiaojing understood immediately: "She must be going to meet her lover in secret."
“Exactly.” Right Protector Xiahou Ying then revealed the answer: “Elder Gu secretly devised a plan to lure the fox demon out for a secret rendezvous at night, leaving us a chance to take advantage of the situation.”
Elder Gu Xianniang of Huitian Pavilion is indeed a force to be reckoned with, possessing a shrewd and resourceful nature. In particular, her petty thievery and unorthodox methods are precisely the strengths of Huitian Pavilion.
If you sneak out, you must leave a door open. Otherwise, how can you sneak back without anyone noticing?
Once the fox demon had fled far away, the Demon Hunters immediately exited their mechanical cloud chariot and quietly arrived at the cave entrance.
Sure enough, the guardian fox demon left a crack in the door for himself.
"This fox demon, despite her high position, couldn't resist a single night of pleasure. Granny Yun's use of people is bound to lead to her downfall sooner or later," said Hall Master Xue Niang with a sense of unease.
"As the saying goes, 'Even the most meticulous plans can have a flaw,'" said the head of the hall, Nongniang, with a gentle smile. "Besides, it's a dark and windy night, and Granny Yun has a fearsome reputation. Who would dare to provoke her?"
"Let's go." Right Protector Xiahou Ying used his internal energy to force open the cave door and slipped inside.
Left Protector Sai Xiaojing followed, wielding her Armored Divine Axe. The Third Sister Sect Master entered in turn.
By the firelight, they saw two night watch demons fast asleep behind the door, clutching their weapons. They were clearly under the spell of the fox demon. As for the layout of the cave, Elder Gu Xianniang of Huitian had already thoroughly investigated it and even drawn up a rough sketch before coming. Right Protector Xiahou Ying didn't memorize it; he glanced at it, and the cave's interior structure immediately matched the sketch perfectly. There was no discrepancy.
"Follow me." Avoiding the minor demons, Right Protector Xiahou Ying headed straight for Granny Yun's cave.
"This cave is protected by a restriction." The protective array was seen through by the hall master, Xue Niang, at a glance.
"Is there a way to break this?" Left Protector Sai Xiaojing asked quietly.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Right Protector Xiahou Ying channeled his energy into the Dugu Nine Swords, and the Hunyuan Golden Elixir on the hilt immediately emitted rays of golden light.
Visibly, the restrictions formed by demonic power silently crumbled, leaving countless holes and vanishing without a trace. The stone door then slowly opened, revealing a magnificent bedroom.
The incense burner is cold, the golden lion statue is cold, and the red waves are swirling around it.
A pair of mandarin ducks adorn the tasseled brocade curtains, their souls intoxicated by the gentle embrace of love.
Lying prone on the jade bed was none other than the beautiful Yun clan lady.
Seriously, are all fairies this curly now?
The old woman before me, a thousand-year-old wolf demon in disguise, was truly breathtakingly beautiful. She could also transform into men and women, control clouds and rain, and do as she pleased.
Killing is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, how can we eliminate the divisions?
The question is, how to kill them to maximize our profits?
"What if it were the Lord?" Left Protector Sai Xiaojing asked quietly.
A single word awakened him from his reverie; Right Protector Xiahou Ying wielded his flying sword like a rainbow.
"Remove the male and keep the female!"
