85.Dragon Pattern Chapter 7
"In front of us is Dragon Soul Island. "The dragon turned into a dragon body, controlled the power of the wind, and carried Zhan Haoyan to fly in the sky for a long time, because they flew very high, they often rose and fell in the high sky surrounded by clouds, and everywhere they came into view, the cold wind accompanied by Xiao Se, and the rain revealed the coldness, soaking Zhan Haoyan's whole body to a soaked soak.
The clouds and mist were too big, and Zhan Haoyan couldn't see anything clearly while sitting on the dragon's back, but Long Jiqiu seemed to have smelled the smell of his hometown, and there was a slight hint of joy in his tone, and he said, "Get ready, we are going to cross the enchantment of Dragon Soul Island!"
Zhan Haoyan is not the first time to go to Dragon Soul Island, Long Jiqiu also took Zhan Haoyan once a hundred years ago, but he did not turn into a dragon and fly over with Zhan Haoyan, but stopped a ship in the sea near Dragon Soul Island, and set up a teleportation array on the ship, and then used the formation to summon Zhan Haoyan directly.
After the summoning, Zhan Haoyan can sit on Long Jiqiu's boat, Long Jiqiu takes the pulp and rows slowly, he attaches the sea breeze spirit technique to the oars, and every stroke will make waves, and he uses this wave to push the boat forward, in the direction of Dragon Soul Island.
Zhan Haoyan now recalls it, and feels that the scenery at that time gave him a dreamlike feeling. Surrounded by the rough blue sea, the endless sea, no islands or any land, not even seabirds or swimming fish in the water, only the sound of the sea breeze blowing in the ears, the world on the ocean, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, seems extremely quiet, as if arriving in another world.
When Long Jiqiu said that he wanted to cross the barrier, Zhan Haoyan didn't feel much, his only feeling was as if he had passed through a wall made of wind, when Long Jiqiu rushed over with him, the howling wind hit him head-on, so strong that it seemed that the whole person was going to be blown away by it, he couldn't help but add a barrier to resist the wind, but as soon as this barrier was added, the wind disappeared.
At the same time, more miraculous things also happened, just now Zhan Haoyan clearly saw the sky covered with dark clouds, storms, lightning and thunder, the howling sea breeze blowing the waves, so that wave after wave of waves up the height of the mountain, this wonderful landscape of nature has a terrible charm that Ling Zhan Haoyan can not describe.
However, after passing through the wall of wind, suddenly the clouds and the sun were gone, the wind and the dark clouds were gone, the sky was clear and sunny, and the sea became extremely calm, and the calm sea surface that rippled slightly reflected the blue sky like a mirror.
Zhan Haoyan even heard the cry of seagulls, he raised his head and looked into the distance, and found that not far from the sea in front of him, an island had faintly appeared.
From a distance, the island looked like a dragon, for it was long and crookedly entrenched on the sea, and the mountains and hills on the island looked like the dragon's neck and head raised. The other rock on the island, slightly warped out of the sea, was the wagging tail of a dragon. This weird and beautiful shape reminded Zhan Haoyan of what He Qianjue had said to him - the origin of Dragon Soul Island.
It is said that this island was created by the corpses of ancient dragons thousands of years ago.
It has also become a gathering place for dragons today.
Soon, Long Jiqiu carried Zhan Haoyan and flew close to Dragon Soul Island with the other five dragons. When he flew closer and observed the island from above, Zhan Haoyan realized how huge this so-called Dragon Soul Island was, because Zhan Haoyan observed some of the dragons who were moving on the Dragon Soul Island, and when viewed from above, they were as small as ants.
Long Jiqiu quickly flew down with Zhan Haoyan, the speed of landing was very fast, the feeling of free fall and weightlessness made Zhan Haoyan a little creepy, but fortunately, the process was very fast, and soon they were actually standing on the land of Dragon Soul Island, stepping on the solid soil, which really made Zhan Haoyan relax a little.
There are many dragons on the islands who remain in the state of dragon bodies, some are entrenched on the beach and lazily bask in the sun, some fly back and forth in the sky, and some swim in the sea, preying on a large number of fish and shrimp to enjoy.
But on Dragon Soul Island, not all dragons have always remained in the state of the dragon body, a large part of them are transformed into human forms for the convenience of life, only in order to conceive a child, the female dragon will turn into a dragon body, hold the dragon eggs to find a suitable cave on the island, or simply dig a big hole in the beach, put the eggs in the sand hole, and then entrench there and do not leave, in order to hatch the eggs, the female dragons will entrench for about a few hundred years.
In the period after the female dragon has just laid eggs, the male dragon will come to take the shift, instead of the female dragon to guard the eggs, and then the female dragon will enter the sea, and go in the sea for several months, they will prey on fish and shrimp, replenish the nutrients lost when the eggs are conceived, and return after eating and drinking, and drive away the male dragon to continue to guard the eggs.
During the incubation period, the female dragon's attention to the eggs is not trivial, unless it is to supplement nutrition and have to go to sea, the eggs can only be handed over to the male dragon for safekeeping, otherwise it is almost impossible for the male dragon to touch the eggs, many male dragons have to go around the female dragon for a long time in order to see the eggs.
When the eggs broke and the newborn dragons hatched out of the eggs, they were very small at that time, about the same size as the dragon pattern that Zhan Haoyan was holding in his hand now, it was hard to imagine that such a big dragon egg came out of such a small one, so fragile that the big dragon could crush them to death with just one foot if he was not careful.
Because the baby dragon is so small, the dragon will immediately turn back into a human form after the incubation period to take care of the baby dragon.
The growth cycle of young dragons is very slow, and it will take about a hundred years for them to slowly start to grow from such a small one, and after about five hundred years, they will grow to the size of the first to take shape, which is also the stage when the juvenile dragons are finally able to transform. After a thousand years, they will be about the size of an adult dragon, and they can perform a coming-of-age ceremony, which is to soak in the spring water of Longmen Spring for 7749 days.
The spring water will give the dragons power, and after soaking in it, they will gain the ability to summon wind and rain. Of course, the dragons are born with this ability, but the initial ability of the underage dragons is very weak, and only by soaking in the spring water will the power in their bloodlines be truly stimulated.
Fifteen hundred to two thousand years or so, that is the most powerful period of a dragon, they will have amazing strength and surging spiritual power, their cultivation will enter an unprecedented peak, that is also the only time in the life of every dragon clan The most precious opportunity to leapfrog, many powerful dragon clans will make their cultivation at this stage to upgrade several levels, and even directly fly to the immortal realm and become a dragon immortal.
But if you have not successfully ascended to the immortal realm after this stage, then it is basically equivalent to no such possibility. In this way, in fact, the dragon monks are not much better than humans, they are also facing defeat and elimination, and they have to accept the fact that this world is so cruel.
The defeated dragon clan continued to stay on Dragon Soul Island, living a life of seclusion and paradise, slowly multiplying offspring.
……
After returning to Dragon Soul Island, Long Jiqiu turned into a human form and led Zhan Haoyan to meet the Dragon King with the dragon pattern.
According to the rules of the dragon clan, outsiders must meet the dragon king. This is a kind of etiquette, and at the same time a kind of censorship, because the dragons are wary of many foreign races, and they must let their master inspect them after entering the door.
The current dragon king of the dragon clan is a very old dragon, and when Zhan Haoyan was brought over to meet him, he was sitting on a throne of bones made of unknown animals, with a white head and white beard, a wrinkled face, and a cane in his hand. The dragon king as a whole looked very messy, and the clothes and animal skin cushions on the seat were all crooked.
Perhaps he had just learned that someone was going to meet him, so the dragon king hurried to the parlor, and hurriedly tidied up his throne, which he had not used for a long time, and then sat down haphazardly, and straightened his messy hair and beard.
When Zhan Haoyan was about to give a salute after entering the door, the Dragon King waved his hand to Zhan Haoyan and said, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite, we haven't had guests here for a long time." ”
The Dragon King said so, but Zhan Haoyan still bowed to him with his own thoughts, and then said to the Dragon King: "Your Highness, I also came to Dragon Soul Island once hundreds of years ago, and I saw you at that time. ”
Being so complimented by Zhan Haoyan, the Dragon King seemed to be quite happy, as soon as the Dragon King was happy, the dragon tail in the hem of his clothes couldn't help swinging around, this feeling was really obvious, Zhan Haoyan looked at it in his eyes, and couldn't help laughing.
At this time, Long Jiqiu also stepped forward, walked to the side of the Dragon King, lowered his head and whispered two words in the Dragon King's ear, the Dragon King listened, and looked at Zhan Hao with a cane: "And Qiu told me that you also brought other people, where are the people?"
Zhan Haoyan took out the mini version of the Heaven Sealing Mirror in his pocket, swung it to the ground, and by the way, lifted the spell of the mirror, and then the mirror suddenly became larger and stood firmly in front of the Dragon King. Then Zhan Haoyan pointed to the mirror and said, "The people I brought are all here." ”
"Damn, I'm going to die!" As soon as Zhan Haoyan's words fell, a black-haired fox suddenly appeared in the mirror. As soon as the fox came out, he shook his fur vigorously, and said as he shook it: "Damn! After the mirror was shrunk, I felt that the air was not circulating, and I was almost suffocated!"
After the fox, Ying Qian also came out of the mirror, and as soon as he came out, he saw the dragon king sitting on it, so he politely bowed his head and said to the dragon king: "Long time no see, Your Majesty." ”
The Dragon King looked at the scene in front of him in amazement, he recognized Ying Qian, because Ying Qian had also been to Dragon Soul Island before, and like Zhan Haoyan, he was also one of the few "traders" that the Dragon Clan was willing to accept, and Ying Qian often used some good materials he dug up in the Qinghong Sword Sect to exchange things with the Dragon Clan, so he was appreciated by the Dragon Clan, and he was also invited to Dragon Soul Island as a guest.
After Ying Qian came out, it was the cicada that crawled out of the mirror, this rabbit doll that can only crawl by itself is very persevering, crawling and crawling to the side of Ying Gan's legs, and began to crawl along Ying Gan's trouser legs to him, crawling over his thighs and over his crotch, and even crawling from his face to the top of his head, so the expressionless Ying Gan stood expressionlessly, standing straight, but there was a rabbit on his head.
There was also a chattering black-haired fox circling around him.
This magical scene made the Dragon King very curious, so he asked Ying Gandao, "Oh...... You're Yingqian, I remember you, you came to us about 400 years ago. ”
"Yes, His Majesty the Dragon King. Ying Qian bowed his head to the Dragon King very politely, but when he bowed his head, the chilling cicada on his head almost fell off, and he kept pulling his hair, Ying Qian said: "Your memory is as good as ever." ”
The dragon king, who was complimented again, began to stroke his beard and wag his tail again, and said: "If you want to come to our Dragon Soul Island, I will naturally not refuse, even if you want to bring some other people over, it will be fine, such as the fox next to you, and the ...... on your head Uh, bunny, it's all right, but why...... Are you going to be brought in a mirror?"
Ying Qian dragged down the chilling cicada that began to pull his hair on his head, put it on his shoulder and let him stay, and at the same time picked up the fox on the side of his leg that began to bite his trouser leg with his teeth, and held it in his arms, feeling like he was bringing two unconscious children, which made him sigh helplessly, and said to the dragon king:
"Your Majesty, this time I came, in fact, there was a reluctant invitation. ”
"Oh, what kind of reluctant invitation?" the dragon king reached out and stroked his white beard again, and looked like he was in a posture and listened attentively.
"This mirror. Ying Qian said, "I want to ask His Majesty the Dragon King for help for the time being, and hide on Dragon Soul Island." ”
"Why hide a mirror?" the dragon king still wondered.
Ying Qian briefly explained the function of this Heaven Sealing Mirror and what kind of guy it was being tracked by.
The Dragon King roughly understood what Ying Qian meant, and he said, "You mean, there is an immortal in the fairy realm who is chasing this mirror, and you don't want to give it to him, so you want to hide the mirror in our Dragon Soul Island?"
Ying Qian replied honestly: "That's right, so I hope that His Majesty the Dragon King will ......."
Before Ying Qian finished speaking, the dragon king over there directly interrupted Ying Qian's words and told Ying Qian: "No, this is not good. ”
Ying Qian was slightly stunned after hearing this, raised his head and looked at the Dragon King, the old Dragon King had white hair and a shawl, and even his eyes were almost covered by his white bangs, such an old man was unexpectedly shrewd, the Dragon King stroked his beard and shook his head and said: "That immortal tried every possible way to find this mirror, which means that he needs this thing, no matter what he wants to use it for." Win the ...... You have to know that immortals are not easy to mess with. ”
Ying Qian thought for a moment, and said to the Dragon King: "But Your Majesty the Dragon King, I still know the characteristics of Dragon Soul Island very well, if this place is not brought in by your dragon clan personally, others will ...... Even the immortals had a hard time finding the location of Dragon Soul Island, and we were very careful when we brought the mirror over, and it was not discovered by superfluous people. ”
"So I hope that His Majesty the Dragon King can be extra gracious. Ying Qian continued, "We'll only hide here for a while, and we'll leave after we think of a way to deal with that so-called immortal." ”
The Dragon King also felt interesting when he heard this, and he squinted his eyes and glared at Ying Qian: "You said you want to solve a Shang Immortal?"
Ying Qian bowed slightly: "That's right, we will find a way to solve him." ”
"Do you mean to kill immortals?" the dragon king suddenly became interested, his slightly swaying tail represented that his heart was active at the moment, "Kill an immortal." ”
"Why not?" Ying Qian was still very calm and calm.
The Dragon King suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, you are really bold, I like it." ”
But smiling and smiling, the Dragon King changed his words and asked, "But have you thought about how to solve a Lord?"
Before Ying Qian could answer, another person floated out of the mirror at this moment, it was Yan Snake. When the snake came out, he did not hide, but showed his spirit body, so that the surrounding dragons could clearly see him.
When the dragon king saw the snake, he was slightly stunned, probably because he felt that the face of the snake looked very familiar, but although he felt familiar, the dragon king couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, and after thinking about it and getting no results, he gave up thinking and said, "It turns out that there are still people in this mirror?"
Hearing this, the snake politely bowed to the dragon king and said, "Yes, there are also my husband and husband's flowers." ”
The Dragon King looked the soul of the snake up and down, and he seemed to find it very interesting, and said, "There are so many ...... that can be stuffed in this mirror. All kinds of monsters, this king is also the first time to see it, I don't know what kind of character your husband is?"
"Sir, his name is 'He Qianjue'. Ying Qian replied bluntly beside him, he paused, and asked again: "I wonder if His Majesty the Dragon King has any impressions?"
"Congratulations...... Qianjue?" The Dragon King repeated the name, as if caught in a memory, he recalled for a moment, and said, "Oh, I remember, it's He Qianjue." ”
He Qianjue had also talked about the various characteristics of Dragon Soul Island before, Ying Qian guessed that He Qianjue had been to Dragon Soul Island before, although He Qianjue himself had no memory of this, but Ying Qian felt that he might know each other with the Dragon King, so he couldn't help but ask the Dragon King. Now it seems that Ying Qian's idea is about the right one.
It's just that judging from the attitude of this dragon king, he and He Qianjue should not be familiar with each other.
The Dragon King said: "I remember that a monk named He Qianjue did come to our Dragon Soul Island a long time ago, but I was not the Dragon King of the Dragon Clan at that time, and in my early years, I left Dragon Soul Island for a long time because of some things and wandered outside. Later, when he came back, he was directly appointed as the dragon king, and if the previous dragon king was still there, it was estimated that it would be clearer. ”
When the Dragon King said this, he was also very surprised, and said to Ying Qian: "You are also magical, several old people actually gathered together to drill on my island. ”
Ying Qian took advantage of the situation and wanted to fool the Dragon King again, he said: "For the sake of the friendship that several old people have, we still hope that His Majesty the Dragon King can allow us to hide the mirror here. ”
"Actually, it's not impossible to hide. The Dragon King said, "But I'm old, and my heart is always unsteady, and the natural prohibition of this Dragon Soul Island can indeed block the tracking of many people with intentions." But with the ability of an immortal, even if he can't find us in a short time, he will be able to find it sooner or later. ”
"If he really finds him one day, won't our Dragon Soul Island suffer? There are still a large number of underage dragons on my island, and this island is used to protect them and provide an important home for the tribe to inhabit, I can't put an important home in danger in order to help you outsiders. ”
The Dragon King said very reasonably, he does have his own considerations, if Ying Qian continues to insist now, I am afraid it will be a little annoying.
Ying Qian also made a mistake this time, and couldn't help lowering his head and wanted to negotiate something with the Dragon King, but before he could come up with a reason, the snake next to him spoke.
Yan Snake said: "Your Majesty the Dragon King can rest assured, even if he is really found by that immortal, we have a way to solve him." ”
"You guys are very contradictory to say this, just now Ying Qian said that he would find a way to solve him, how come it is in your mouth, there is already a way to solve him?"
Yan Snake answered this question: "Because the solution can't solve that immortal, the decision is not in the hands of Ying Qian, but in the hands of our husband." If the gentleman says it can be solved, we will have a way to solve it, and if the gentleman says it can't, we will have to find another way. ”
The Dragon King became more and more curious: "Although I have heard of your husband, I have not seen it yet, why is he unwilling to come out of the mirror to meet me?"
"Because he can't get out of this mirror. Said the snake.
Ying Qian and Yan Snake worked together to negotiate with the Dragon King for a long time. In the end, the dragon king finally agreed that they would hide the mirror on this Dragon Soul Island, provided that once they were really found by some immortals or other demons and monsters, Ying Qian and the others must take responsibility to solve it, and it was best to solve it quietly, so as not to cause trouble to any dragon clan on Dragon Soul Island.
Of course, the Dragon King is still quite kind and kind to a dragon, and he said that if they encounter trouble that they really can't solve alone, they can call for help from their dragon clan, and the dragon clan will come to the rescue.
After agreeing to these conditions, the dragon king waved his hand and called the other dragons to help prepare a room for Ying Qian and the others, so that they could move the mirror to that room.
The Dragon King asked Zhan Haoyan if he needed to prepare an extra room for him, Zhan Haoyan shook his head and said, "I will be with Ying Qian, so I don't need it." ”
After that, Zhan Haoyan also wanted to leave behind Ying Qian and the others, but the Dragon King stopped him, not Zhan Haoyan to be precise, but the dragon pattern in Zhan Haoyan's arms.
The dragon king shouted the name of the dragon pattern, and then the dragon pattern, who had been lying in Zhan Haoyan's arms and pretending to be dead, reluctantly twisted his body, raised his little head to look at the dragon king, and obediently shouted: "Grandpa!"
Such a shout made Zhan Haoyan a little surprised, but he didn't expect that this Dragon King Majesty was actually the grandfather of the dragon pattern, and it seemed that there was a complicated family relationship.
The dragon king's tone was accompanied by a feeling of blame, and he said to the dragon pattern: "You are not a descendant, how old are you? You dare to run out alone with a dragon, do you know how worried your mother is about you? Why don't you hurry back to see your mother?
When Long Wen heard this, his face was suddenly full of reluctance, and the action of flicking his tail was exactly the same as his grandfather's, and Long Wen said aggrievedly, "Father and mother don't care about me, all they are thinking about now is that snake demon!"
"What snake demon!?" The dragon king was also a little impatient, knocked on the cane in his hand and said, "That's your brother!
"Obviously, he came to our dragon clan pit to be abducted!" Long Wen suddenly roared, pointing at Zhan Haoyan's chin on the top of his head with his little paws: "I don't believe you asked them, they know about the snake demon!"
