The next morning, it was just dawning.

Wei Lai had just gotten up and finished washing, and before he could eat the breakfast sent by the little guy named Lu Bai, there was a knock at the door that was not in a hurry.

Wei Lai secretly wondered who came knocking on the door early in the morning.

He glanced at Sun Daren, whose breathing had become stable on the other bed in the room, and his heart was a little calmer, and he replied: "It's here." ”

Then he walked to the door, opened the door, and the first thing he saw was Wang Daoan's rickety body.

"Childe is up, the old man is afraid that he will come too early and disturb Childe. When the old man saw Wei Lai, his wrinkled face squeezed out a smile that was not good-looking.

Wei Lai looked sideways at the bright sky outside the window, and estimated slightly, estimating that he should guess the time at this moment...... If it weren't for Wei Lai's habit of getting up early, coming so early would indeed seem to be a nuisance.

However, yesterday Wei Lai did respond to the old man's request, as a reward for his treatment of Sun Daren, and the old man's medical skills are really clever, Sun Daren, who was still unconscious yesterday, has been treated by the old man, and his complexion is already a lot ruddy today, and he can't say that he will wake up after a while. Since the other party has fulfilled his promise, Wei Lai naturally has no reason to be untrustworthy.

He didn't feel half dissatisfied because the old man came to the door so early, but it was strange that the old man was so impatient, what did he want him to do, Wei Lai calculated carefully, the old man's treatment of Sun Daren yesterday was only done at the end of the ugly time, and it was only more than an hour after counting, and the old man's face turned slightly pale, I am afraid that he had not slept all night.

"Don't worry, old gentleman, I promised Mr. that as long as the younger generation can do his best, there will be no excuse, why should Mr. be in a hurry, rest more. Wei Lai kindly persuaded him, and every sentence came from the bottom of his heart, without the slightest hypocrisy.

"Huh. The old man smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the old man has lived for such an age, and he has already slept enough, and it doesn't matter if he sleeps for a day or two." ”

When the old man's words came to this, Wei Lai naturally didn't insist on his position anymore, he nodded and said, "Then the old gentleman just say, what do you want the younger generation to do for the gentleman?"

The old man smiled again, lowered his head, and seemed to feel that it was a little abrupt to come to Wei Lai in such a hurry, he was thinking about the wording, but he caught a glimpse of the rice porridge still on Wei Lai's table, he woke up and said, "Childe hasn't eaten yet, right? Let's talk about it after eating first, don't starve Childe." ”

Wei Lai smiled bitterly, he could see the old man's eagerness, and shook his head at that time: "I ate some after I came back yesterday, and I am not hungry, since the old gentleman is here, there is no need to be polite, if there is any request, it is enough." ”

The old man smiled a little embarrassedly, and his head was lowered a little deeper.

"Childe is a thoughtful person, huh...... It's a long story, so why don't you talk about it while the son and the old man walk. The old man said.

Since Wei Lai agreed, naturally there was no reason to refuse, he nodded, motioned to the old man to wait for a while, then knocked on the door next door, and explained to the sleepy-eyed Long Xiu and Liu Qingyan that he had taken care of Sun Daren, and then walked out of the inn with the old man.

......

In the early morning of Gutong City, pedestrians are sparse, and only some restaurants that have opened early can barely reach a few diners.

"This Gu Tong City, Childe should be here for the first time, right?" the old man who led Wei Lai to walk on the streets of Gu Tong City suddenly asked.

"Hmm. Wei Lai nodded, he could clearly feel that the few pedestrians on both sides of the street, and the few diners in the restaurant were secretly looking at him, but not at him, but at the old man beside him. He suddenly remembered what the innkeeper said yesterday, this rumor that Wang Daoan was a monster sounded nonsense, but looking at this appearance, there seemed to be a lot of people in this ancient Tong City who believed in such a statement.

The old man seemed to have long been accustomed to such a "special encounter", and did not react to this, but continued: "This ancient Tong City, it should be the oldest city in the entire Ningzhou. Even compared with Ningxiao City, Gutong City was more than two hundred years earlier. ”

Wei Lai was noncommittal about this, and he really didn't care about the history of this ancient Tong City in his heart, but secretly or what Wang Daoan wanted him to do, he walked out of the inn for a while, but the old man didn't say a word about it.

But the old man didn't feel Wei Lai's confusion, he continued to speak slowly: "More than seven hundred years ago, this world was still the world of the Great Yu Dynasty, and this ancient Tong City was still the ancestral land of the Yu family, and the dragon veins of the Yu Dynasty were hidden here. ”

Later, no matter how beautiful and righteous the change of dynasty is in the book, it is a prosperous mansion filled with mountains of corpses. After Zhou Li, he wantonly exterminated the relatives of the Yu family, and did the thing of destroying the country and destroying the species. It is rumored that the Yu family's relatives have suffered countless casualties, and the corpses have piled up, and the number has exceeded 100,000. This is understandable, after all, looking at the nine kingdoms in the north, which place has not had such a bloody case in the change of dynasty?"

"But the bad thing is that at that time, Da Yu's qi was not exhausted, and Da Zhou Taizu didn't know what method he used to steal Da Yu's national fortune, which was why Zhou Yu was established. ”

"The Yu family killed too many clansmen in vain, and the ghost lingered for a long time, and finally gathered in the ancestral dragon vein. The 100,000 souls of the dead dragon vein turned into a yin dragon and entrenched outside the ancient Tong City, and the ancient Tong City has been infested by the Yin Soul Dead since then......

Wei Lai had never heard of such a statement, nor had he seen any relevant records in any ancient books, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, this is to doubt the authenticity of the old man's words, and second, if there is such a thing, how did the old man know?

But it has to be said that the old man's story successfully aroused Wei Lai's interest, and he couldn't help but ask at that time: "What about later?"

"Later. I don't know why, the old man sighed suddenly, "Later, an immortal passed through this place, saw the situation of the people here, and felt pity, so he granted this people the method of suppressing the Yin Dragon. ”

The old man said, suddenly stopped, Wei Lai looked at the old man suspiciously, but the old man stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance: "Childe, look at that place." ”

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, looked up, and found that he had unconsciously walked to the gate of Gutong City with the old man, and what the old man was referring to was the Tong Forest outside Gutong City.

"Could it be that this tung forest is the method of suppressing the Yin Dragon taught by that immortal?" Wei Lai said with a frown.

"The so-called dragon vein is a mysterious thing that is transformed by the link between luck and fate, and it has neither entity nor intelligence, but after absorbing 100,000 dead yin souls, it turns into a yin dragon, and it belongs to the dragon category. ”

"And the dragon species in the world is probably born according to the water, son, you see that outside the Tong Forest, there is a river, called the Turtle River, the immortal once said, once the dragon meets the water, a hundred miles of oceans. ”

"That Yin Dragon is hidden underground, and before it has obtained its true body, it does not dare to appear rashly, so it can only continue to move slowly towards the Turtle River underground. ”

When Wei Lai heard this, he looked carefully, but saw that the hill where the tung forest was located was narrow and towering, and it really looked like Longxing, and the end of the mound was only a few hundred zhang away from the river.

"The Yin Dragon borrows the earth, and its nature belongs to the earth. The immortal found a paulownia tree, pierced into the seven inches of the Yin Dragon, and applied the technique of the immortal knotting the hair, granted the paulownia wood aura, suppressed the Yin Dragon, and let him be nailed to this place, and could not enter any further, and instructed future generations to plant new paulownia trees every year to strengthen the power of suppression. ”

The old man said slowly, and his body had already led Wei Lai up the mound planted with dense paulownia trees.

Wei Lai looked around, this tung forest looked extremely old, and you could see huge tung trees several zhang high everywhere, but on the periphery of the tung forest, there were many tung trees that had either died or been cut down.

The felled paulownia trees stand alone, but those that die are extremely strange, but all of them die in a circle that exists on the periphery, and this withered situation continues to spread inward, and the paulownia trees near the periphery are more or less sickly with yellow leaves or hollowed out trunks, but the more you go inside, the less visible it becomes.

It's as if an invisible force is slowly eroding the woods.

"The old gentleman brought the juniors here, could it be that the things that the juniors did were related to this Tonglin. Wei Lai retracted his gaze and asked at that time.

The old man nodded, and looked at Wei Lai with a solemn expression: "The old man wants to beg Gongzi to save this Tonglin." ”
