304, the starving true dragon [2/3]
It was already dark, and the townspeople of Guwei who came to send the sacrifice had all evacuated after completing the ceremony.
The ten boys and girls fell asleep in the reed tent before the altar.
The children, of course, are not big-hearted and can fall asleep in such situations, but they are fed pastries mixed with sleeping pills.
Naturally, the parents of the children are not willing.
When their children are picked, these parents should also resist.
It's a pity that he can't go against the general trend, so he can only endure the pain and send the child.
Before the evacuation, the parents of the ten children were also crying heartbreakingly, clinging to their children and unwilling to let go, but they were still forcibly separated by the townspeople. There was a father who resisted very fiercely, and he was knocked unconscious with a stick......
When they were dragged away, several parents broke free from the people who were holding them, and kowtowed desperately to Chu Tianxing and Xing Jian Zun in tears, obviously pinning their last bit of hope on Chu Tianxing and the others.
"Senior sister, what kind of demon is the so-called river god in this floating river?"
On the altar, Chu Tianxing sat on the ground, nibbling on the roast leg of lamb that Qin Ling made for him the night before leaving, while asking Jian Zun.
Although the storage ring cannot keep warm, it can keep it fresh.
As long as the ring is not broken, the dishes stored in the ring will be fresh when they are taken out, no matter how long it takes, and they can be eaten after just heating them.
Chu Tianxing used internal force to heat the roast leg of lamb, and the skin was still crispy on the outside, and the inside was tender.
Qin Ling made him several roasted whole lambs, and he originally wanted to share a roast leg of lamb with Jianzun, but Jianzun considered the image and did not hold the whole leg of lamb like him.
Just take a piece of rib, cut it into small pieces, put it on a plate, fork it up with a fork and chew it slowly.
At this moment, she sat beside Chu Tianxing, bent her calves, put the dish firmly on her knees, forked a piece of lamb chop, took a small bite, chewed it twice, and praised: "The craftsmanship is good." ”
After that, he replied leisurely:
"It doesn't matter what kind of demon it is. When it comes out, you rush up and slaughter it, won't everything be fine?"
As he spoke, his long and narrow phoenix eyes glanced at Chu Tianxing:
"Why, after hearing the brilliant achievements of that demon, don't you have confidence?"
Chu Tianxing smiled:
"How can you not have faith? I'm just a little curious. ”
Jianzun took another bite of roast lamb chops and said leisurely:
"The demons in the water who are good at making waves are nothing more than those kinds. The demons in this floating river may be the genus of Jiao Snake. ”
Chu Tianxing said curiously:
"Wouldn't it be a dragon?"
Jianzun shook his head:
"If you become a dragon, you will have divinity, how can you be greedy for that little bit of blood food?
"Besides, with the overall situation of the decline of the spiritual energy of the Xuan True Realm, it is impossible to raise a true dragon. ”
Chu Tianxing asked:
"Then senior sister, have you ever seen a real dragon?"
Jianzun shook his head:
"I haven't seen it. ”
Chu Tianxing was speechless:
"Then how do you know that the true dragon has divinity?"
Jian Zun pursed his lips and smiled:
"I guess. ”
"......" Chu Tianxing was speechless.
Jian Zun smiled again:
"Well, it's true that I haven't seen a real dragon, but I've seen the remains of a real dragon.
"A few years ago, I and a few bigwigs found a secret underwater place in the South China Sea, which contained the remains of a real dragon, which looked intact, lifelike, and like a living thing. ”
Chu Tianxing's eyes lit up:
"There are real dragon remains on Earth, and what happened to the remains?"
Sword Venerable shrugged:
"Seeing the weathering and turning to ashes, in the end, only a dragon ball containing thin divinity remained, and it could only call for wind and rain in a small area, attracting thunder and lightning with quite average power. ”
Chu Tianxing said regretfully:
"It's a pity...... Didn't you take a few pictures, sister?"
"Shoot. Jian Zun flipped his hand, took out a photo and handed it to Chu Tianxing.
Chu Tianxing took it and took a look, and saw Jian Zun wearing a plain skirt, barefoot, standing on a huge dragon head, holding the bright red dragon horn like a coral tree with one hand, and raising his scissor hand with the other, smiling like a little girl......
"Senior sister, you're really ......"
What a disrespect for the real dragon!
actually barefoot, standing on the head of a real dragon to take pictures......
The reason why the remains of the real dragon turned to ashes is not because you are angry, right?
After all, although it is dead, there is still a legacy of divinity, maybe there is something to know about it?
But then again, although Huaxia has the saying of "True Dragon Son of Heaven", it seems that dragons are creatures that don't have much special respect in the first place?
No matter how powerful the legend of the dragon is, in the story of the world, the role played by the real dragon was either beaten and skinned by Nezha, or forcibly blackmailed by Sun Wukong.
Either because of the lack of rain because of the anger with others, you will have to go up and take a knife from the dragon.
Or to be a coolie who can pull a cart, to be a mount for monks to learn from the scriptures, and even more excessively, to become a dish at the banquet of the bigwigs......
The Gangqi Realm bosses, who are the gods of the living world, are used to seeing classical mythology, listening to the legendary stories of Sun Wukong and Nezha, and have limited respect for creatures like real dragons, which is reasonable.
Seeing his appearance, Jian Zun seemed to understand what he was thinking, pursed the corners of his mouth, and said seriously:
"The ashes of the true dragon are definitely not caused by us.
"It's purely that it's been dead for too long, and the interior has long since decayed, and it's only because the secret realm has been isolated from the world that it can barely be preserved.
"Then when the secret realm is reopened, when you see the light and the wind, it will naturally decay into ashes. ”
Chu Tianxing asked:
"So how long have the remains of the real dragon existed?"
Jian Zun said: "If you come to speculate, the remains have existed for at least 10,000 years. ”
"More than 10,000 years...... Chu Tianxing smacked his mouth twice and sighed:
"I didn't expect that even a real dragon would die at the end of his life. ”
"Not to die at the end of life, but to starve to death. Jian Zun said lightly:
"After the previous round of spiritual energy on the earth tidal decline, the true dragon had no spiritual energy to eat, and starved to death.
"Didn't you notice that the corpse of the real dragon in the photo is too thin?"
Chu Tianxing was slightly stunned, and looked at the photo carefully.
When he looked at the photo before, he had already found that the remains of the real dragon that he took a photo with Jianzun were so thin that they were skinny and bones, giving people the feeling of "old dragon clock".
That's why he said that the real dragon was "dead at the end of his life."
But when Jian Zun said this, and after careful observation, he realized that the remains of the real dragon with a thin face like a skeleton really looked a little starved to death.
Jian Zun sighed with emotion:
"The Breath Eater God is immortal...... But if there is no aura, the gods will have no food to eat, and they will starve to death. ”
Chu Tianxing was shocked:
"The ancient gods in the mythology of the earth won't all starve to death, right?"
"Naturally not. Jianzun smiled:
"Most of the gods should have left the earth and found another way out before the aura completely declined and the earth became an ordinary world. Only a handful of gods, for some unknown reason, stayed like the true dragon and sealed themselves in the Cave Heaven Secret Realm......
"Perhaps, they still fantasize that they can rely on the protection of the Cave Heaven Secret Realm to survive the aura desert period after the aura is completely cut off, and support the aura to recover?
"It's a pity that none of the very few ancient gods who remained managed to survive until the revival of the aura were all starved to death. ”
Chu Tianxing said curiously:
"Which ancient gods have been left?"
"Huaxia has only discovered the true dragon in the South China Sea so far. ”
Jian Zun said: "In a secret realm in the Americas, the body of the Quetzalcoatl God was found. Europe has found the corpses of suspected demon wolf Fenrir and the giant beast of the earthly giant python Jörmungad......
"Of course, none of these corpses have survived, and most of them have only had time to take a few photos before they turn to ashes and disappear, leaving behind some magical items that contain thin divinity and considerable power. ”
Chu Tianxing said: "Then these discoveries, don't they prove that ancient myths really existed?"
"It can only be proven to a certain extent. Star Death Sword Venerable spread his hands: "After all, what I found is not a humanoid god. ”
Chu Tianxing nodded: "That's why it is inferred from this that if the myth is true, then the vast majority of the ancient gods will find another way out before the aura is cut off?"
Jian Zun smiled:
"Yes. You can't stay and starve to death, can you?
"In the future, if we can survive to the next round of spiritual energy decline, we will also have to find another way.
"Otherwise, you'll have to taste what it's like to starve to the point of being skinny and skeleton, and finally starve to death." ”
If you live to the period of decay of the aura, then when the aura is completely degraded and cut off, and the earth becomes an ordinary world again, there is no need for the gods of the world to bear the responsibility of protection.
Because the aura is cut off and the world becomes ordinary, then these doors of the apocalypse will be closed one by one due to the lack of aura support, and the earth will no longer suffer from the threat of another world.
The gods of the world can leave with confidence and find another way out.
"Since it is possible that there were real ancient gods on Earth...... Didn't the ancient gods leave a legacy?"
"The ancient gods still have left a legacy, and maybe they have left a legacy. Jian Zun sighed regretfully:
"It's a pity that the aura has been cut off for too long.
"Think about it, even the remains of the ancient gods that were sealed in the secret realm of the cave have turned to ashes, and the authority of the ancient gods has declined to only a little divinity, and the power is not as powerful as the top great masters, so what kind of existence can carry the inheritance of the ancient gods and preserve it until the time when the aura is revived?"
Chu Tianxing thought about it, maybe even if he left behind the original infinitely powerful artifact, it would become a waste product due to the 10,000-year spiritual qi desert period, right?
"And what are the relics left by the ancient gods?"
"Where did you come from?" Jian Zun smiled, "We found a secret realm, and it was full of five-colored soil. The five-colored stone is made of the five-colored soil. ”
Chu Tianxing Strange Road:
"But won't the five-colored soil be cut off by the aura and become a wasteland?"
Jianzun explained:
"The five-colored soil is very magical, in a desperate environment, it will turn into ordinary earth, but as long as it comes into contact with the aura, it will restore its spirituality.
"We think that secret realm may be the legacy left by the great god Nuwa. ”
Just now, she suddenly looked sideways at the river: "It's here!"
Chu Tianxing also raised his eyes, and saw that above the river that was several miles wide, before he knew it, a thick white mist had been filled.
The white mist continued to swell and expand, rolling towards the bay.
In the depths of the white mist, a huge figure loomed, and then, a low bull's roar came from the mist.
"Sure enough, it's Jiao. Jian Zun's narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "Senior Brother Chu, come on, I'll sweep the formation for you!"
[Ask for a ticket~!]
