Chapter 1706: Dragon

Putting the knife coin back in place, Li Xuehao picked up the bamboo slips piled on the side of the desk, and now for the time being, he only knew that the owner of the Dragon Palace was a female monk, but she didn't know anything about her identity and origin.

Bamboo slips are used to record words, and it is undoubtedly the most likely to find information about the identity of the owner from the text.

In the bamboo slips spread out, all the words on it are written in large seals, and the font color is red, I don't know what kind of pigment it is, Li Xuehao faintly noticed that there was a trace of chaotic aura in it.

Maybe this is a kind of "ink" that the owner of the Dragon Palace mixes himself, but just the "ink" used for writing actually contains aura, even if it is messy, it is luxurious enough.

Of course, for Li Xuehao, it is extravagant, but for the master of the Dragon Palace, it is not necessarily.

More than two thousand years have passed, and there is still abundant aura on her bones, and the degree of richness is not inferior to his strength at this time, which shows that the cultivation of the Dragon Palace Master during his lifetime is much stronger than him.

You must know that the reason why the entire magic circle of the Crystal Palace can still operate freely to this day is all maintained by her spirit bones. And once the aura in the spirit bones is exhausted, then it is not surprising that the crystal palace will be filled with sea water in an instant, and even collapse.

After more than two thousand years, the remaining aura alone has been on par with his realm at this time, if there were not so many years passed, how terrifying would it be?

Li Xuehao even suspected that the original realm of the master of the Dragon Palace might have been in the late stage of Jindan, and it was even possible to get married.

However, he is not sure about the latter possibility, because if he really gets married, he can travel in the starry sky and do not have to stay in the "small place" of the earth, and he should not sit here.

And most importantly, such a powerful monk, where did her Yuan Shen go?

Generally speaking, as long as the aura in the body is still there, then at least the physical body can be kept immortal, but now there is still aura on the bones, but the physical body has dissolved, and even the original spirit has disappeared together.

Yuan Shen is equivalent to the soul, ordinary people die, the soul will definitely not be able to last forever, and will soon dissipate in heaven and earth. But with the primordial spirit of the Jindan period monk, as long as it is not against disasters such as heavenly thunder, there is basically no possibility of extinction. Even if the Yuan Shen is weakened with the passage of time, there are enough ways to make up for it, the real person he met at the beginning, his realm is not as high as that of the master of the Dragon Palace, but he has not relied on external forces to live for hundreds of years?

So, the Yuan Shen, who is as powerful as the master of the Dragon Palace, died out by accident or went somewhere on his own......

Li Xuehao pondered while looking at the contents of the bamboo slips.

Although it is a thick volume, it can't actually write many words, but unfortunately, what is recorded in the bamboo slip is not the owner's self-report or diary or anything like that, but just one of the outer chapters of the "Zhuangzi", not something profound.

Li Xuehao put down the bamboo slips and went to look through the other bamboo slips, but there was nothing to gain, because these bamboo slips are all chapters of "Zhuangzi", inner chapters, outer chapters and miscellaneous articles. It's just that there are more than a dozen chapters that have survived to modern times, and they can be used as unique books and rare book collections, but for monks, they have no effect.

After putting down the bamboo slips one by one, Li Xuehao searched everywhere in the "boudoir" again, hoping to find something that could prove the identity of the owner of the Dragon Palace, but unfortunately, I don't know if the owner of the Dragon Palace is worried that her identity will be detected or she herself has no habit of keeping books, everything about her is still a mystery.

Aragaki Yuma and Mizuno Nene stood in front of the desk, admiring the girl in the painting, the two of them actually looked at the bamboo slips with him just now, but they didn't know the words on it at all, and they didn't have such complicated minds to guess who this "Dragon Palace" originally belonged to, they only looked at things that they could understand, such as paintings.

Li Xuehao left the two of them in the room, and went to see the remaining rooms, the piano room, the ear room, and some rooms that he didn't know what to do, but he found nothing.

Returning to the main hall again, Li Xuehao stood in front of the crystal seat on the high steps, since there was nothing else to find about the identity of the owner of the Dragon Palace, then he could only study her "herself".

The spirit bones that are already similar to the texture of the crystal are no different from the ordinary human bones, but the bones are crystal clear, and the surface is shining with luster, if it is not composed of a human bone but separated, it is estimated that no one can recognize this as a human bone, maybe it is a work of art made of crystal.

Li Xuehao observed for a while, and even touched it a few times with his hand, the abundant aura in the spirit bone showed a strong "hostility" towards him, the intruder, and every time he touched it, he felt its "counterattack", although he was not injured, but his fingers were numb.

Fortunately, if he had been an ordinary person, he might have been shocked by the aura and shattered his bones and died.

Yuma Aragaki and Nene Mizuno did not return to the main hall of the main hall, and the two of them looked around the Crystal Palace, as if they had become obsessed with the various dreamlike buildings of the Crystal Palace.

Li Xuehao can concentrate on studying the spirit bones on the crystal seat, and under the eyes of the law, the crystal spirit bones are even more crystal clear, and there is something similar to liquid circulating in it, running between the entire skeleton, repeating the cycle, like a living thing.

Is that bone marrow?

Li Xuehao shook his head, how could the bone marrow circulate between the various bones? But although he didn't know what it was, he wouldn't do anything that made a big deal out of the scenery, such as disassembling the bones to see what was inside, first, it was disrespectful to the deceased, and second, even if he wanted to dismantle it, it was probably not something that could be easily done.

The spirit bone must be harder than anything he knew, and even if it were blown up with a bomb, it wouldn't leave any scars on it.

After studying for more than ten minutes, he still didn't know why, Li Xuehao was about to give up, and when he was about to withdraw his gaze, he suddenly slammed and looked at the waist and crotch of the spirit bone incredulously. He hadn't paid much attention to it before, after all, it was a private place for both men and women. But now I saw that behind the pelvis of the spirit bone, there was actually a long bone attached, I didn't look closely just now, I thought it belonged to a part of the crystal seat, and now I found that it belonged to the spirit bone itself, which was more than a foot long.

This is...... Tail?

Li Xuehao couldn't help but be stunned, how could a normal human being have a tail?

After a closer look, it was not the tail of a fish, nor did it look like a snake's, but it was a little familiar, when he found a dragon-like skeleton in a secret treasure place under the main hall of the Tenjin Shrine in Tenjin Mountain, its tailbone was extremely similar to the spirit bone tailbone in front of him.

Thinking of this, his body shook suddenly, could it be that the spirit bone in front of him was not a human's, but a dragon's?

If it is a dragon, then it can explain why this crystal palace is named "Dragon Palace", because its owner is originally a dragon.

Li Xuehao was a little excited, the owner of the Dragon Palace turned out to be a dragon, and he could also transform into a human form, but the transformation was not complete, and there was a tail that had not been eliminated, which was consistent with his previous guess.

Even if it is a dragon, the realm is also lingering in the late stage of Jindan, and it definitely did not break through the Yuan Baby, because the Yuan Infant can reorganize the flesh and bones and transform at will, and there will be no dragon tail left.

After calming down, Li Xuehao was thinking about whether to put this dragonman's spirit bone into the storage ring. After all, its aura can be equal to itself, and if you bring it back, you can refine and absorb the aura inside it, enhance your realm, and dare not say that it will break through to the Jindan period, but it is definitely not far from the Jindan.

However, if this spirit bone is taken, then the entire crystal palace will collapse, and everything here will be completely buried under the seabed, and the fairyland-like water world will naturally disappear. It's a shame to be ruined like this.

Moreover, although the spirit bone is just a dead thing and cannot be counted as a person, it is also a human form no matter how you look at it, and there is always a feeling of "eating people" when you bring it back to absorb and refine it.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Xuehao finally made a decision, he would not take the spirit bones away, in addition to the above two concerns, he should also maintain the necessary respect for the body, he can take away the valuable things here, but the spirit bones, let's stay.

With a decision, he looked up at the top of his head, the huge circular circle of light that emitted a bright white light that illuminated the entire water world as bright as day, which also faintly exuded aura, only slightly messy, and the words of the red paint he found in the bamboo slips before felt the same as the chaotic aura, which seemed to be in the same vein.

Looking closely, in fact, the circular aperture is a white orb the size of a fist, I don't know what kind of spiritual thing it is, it will emit a strong light, and this light is the culprit who created the sea monster.

That's right, those sea monsters were "cultivated" by this white orb.

Judging from the memories of the sea monster, they were originally a group of small sea fish that were chased by whales and broke away from the large group, and then they were chased by other fish, and finally there were only more than twenty left.

They have lived here for many years, feeding on aquatic plants and seaweed, and over the years, they have been cultivated by the chaotic aura emitted by the white orb above their heads, and gradually their bodies have changed, and their minds have been opened up.

However, although the spirit is open, it is still a fish, and it needs to live in the water, so it cannot enter the Dragon Palace, but they have found an exit, which is the cave where the three of them entered before and needed to open the chain.

And as soon as they come out of the underwater world, they are ferocious and wreaking havoc in the sea. Because of their intelligence, their strong bodies and sharp serrations that have been "catalyzed" by the chaotic aura, the fish in the sea, even if they are much larger than them, can only be their food. And the mermaid group is just one of the tragedies they are raging.

The unlucky sea monster may have smelled the breath of the original mermaid settlement, so he went to check it out, as for the other sea monsters, they hunted everywhere, but at night, they will return to this water world, there is no safer and more secret than here, as a base camp and lair, it is very suitable.

But Li Xuehao won't wait for the rabbit here, he has to go back to the hotel, seeing that the time is not early, maybe Sayuri Chiba and the others may wake up.

The rest of the sea monsters, he plans to come over at night to clean them up, anyway, it won't take much trouble for him, but Aragaki Yuzhen can't come with him, because there is her concert at night.
