Chapter 304: Appearance and Detachment
In the dark, Murong Jie continued to walk forward along the iron chains, and as he got closer and closer to the center of the giant net, the surrounding iron chains were gradually gathering and contracting.
Murong Jie soon saw that at the center of the iron chains that converged from all directions, the iron chains began to extend downward in a spiral, deep into the endless abyss below the iron net.
The pitch-black and empty abyss seemed to be a bottomless pit, Murong Jie's eyes widened, and he couldn't see what was under the abyss.
Seeing that there was no danger around, Murong Jie strode towards the center of the iron chain spiral, he grabbed the iron chain and shook it vigorously, and the thick iron chain was motionless.
Murong Jie wanted to go down there to see what was under the chain, and he remembered the story his father told him when he was a child, which was the ancient legend about Dayu's control of the water.
Legend has it that when Yu ruled the water, there were nine dragons descending from the sky, obstructing Yu to govern the floods in China, Yu has eliminated eight dragons, and the last remaining dragon, with a chain cast of black iron, and imprisoned in the bottomless deep well, so that the dragon can no longer harm the world with floods, but not to leave a water vein in the world, Yu's merits are praised by later generations, and become a model of emperors of the past dynasties, countless legends about Yu's water control, after thousands of years in the land of China, are still well-known and familiar.
When Murong Jie was a child, he loved to listen to the story of Dayu opening the mountain and slaying the dragon, and now he sees the iron chain buried in the endless abyss, which can't help but arouse his association, maybe at the other end of the chain, it is really a dragon bound by Dayu.
Thinking of this, Murong Jie couldn't help but love and fear, while not believing his thoughts at all, he inexplicably had a glimmer of extravagant hope, as if he wished that the other end of the chain was really binding the legendary divine dragon.
What does the dragon look like, Murong Jie has seen a lot of portraits and sculptures over the years, but he has never been able to really see the dignity of the dragon with his own eyes, if there is a chance to see the legendary dragon in a few days, I am afraid that the spire will become the only living person in the world who has seen the dragon, as for the heavenly palace, or the underworld, whether the dragon is running around the street, Murong Jie has not been there, so he knows a little, there are many people in the world who have heard of the dragon, but what kind of person has really seen the dragon, I am afraid that there is nowhere to find it with a lantern.
If the end of the chain is bound to the divine dragon, Murong really wants to see it with his own eyes, but no matter how true the legend is, the divine dragon is not a pet to play with, it is a heaven and earth spirit beast that wants human life, if there is really a divine dragon in the abyss, he rashly penetrated it like this, and it became every meal of the divine dragon.
After thinking about it, Murong Jie finally couldn't resist his curiosity, and decided to take a look at the end of the chain.
Murong Jie walked slowly towards the endless abyss along the spiral iron chain, although the slope of the iron chain is not small, but because the iron chain is surprisingly large, there is no need to worry about walking on it, it may fall from the iron chain at any time, despite this, Murong Jie is still cautious, even if he does not fall into the invincible abyss, if a fire dragon suddenly appears, Murong Jie will not be able to stand it, even if the fire dragon is restrained, if the thief and the thief hurt people with a secret arrow, Murong Jie is still in a catastrophe.
Murong Jie walked down the spiral chain, and after walking for a long time, he could vaguely hear the sound of flowing water, coming from the endless abyss.
Murong Jie was overjoyed at first, and then felt a little anxious. Being able to hear the sound of running water in this kind of thing means that there must be an exit nearby, otherwise the flowing water can flow here again, mainly chasing the flowing water to find the source, and you can always find a way out of this ghost place, which naturally makes Murong Jie happy.
But the flowing water reminded him of the dragon again, could it be that the dragon that was bound by Dayu's water control was really in this endless abyss, if the flowing water in the abyss was not an exit, but the dragon's dragon lair, wouldn't he really want to become a meal on a plate, the dragon has been trapped here for thousands of years, and he doesn't need to ask to know that he has already been hungry and crazy, and now he has met such a good meal, not to mention eating people without spitting out bones, I'm afraid there is not even scum left.
Murong Jie kept circling the chains under his feet, on the one hand, he wanted to determine the location of the flowing water, and on the other hand, he was afraid of bumping into the legendary divine dragon.
Walking and walking, Murong Jie accidentally found that the iron chain under his feet seemed to be strange, and there seemed to be words written on the iron chain, these words were as big as the iron chain, and Murong Jie looked at it for a long time in the dark, but he couldn't see what the words were.
Murong Jie can't speak, he can already write, thanks to Shen Niang's education, Murong Jie has no mother since he was a child, and he was taken care of by his nurse Shen Sister-in-law after birth, and over time, Murong Jie also regarded Shen Sister-in-law as his mother, and called Shen Sister-in-law Shen Niang.
It stands to reason that his father's favorite princess is the mother of the Murong Jie brothers, although she is not the mother, at least she is also the stepmother, but it is a pity that this favorite princess is young and beautiful, but she is not very good to the Murong Jie brothers.
The favorite princess never disdained to be their stepmother, and the four brothers never regarded Princess Chong as their mother, if it is about age, the eldest brother Murong Ying and the second brother Murong Xiong are a few years older than the favorite princess, but they are always high and will never be able to live.
The pet princess thought that in a few years, he would be able to give Murong Ke and give birth to a few fat children, so he never put the boys born to Murong Ke and his ex-wife in his eyes, although they are all young talents, but the more excellent their brothers are, the more they provoke the pet princess to hold a grudge.
In the past three years, the favorite princess has not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter to Murong Ke, which makes the favorite princess even more unaccustomed to the several children left by Murong Ke's ex-wife. The four brothers grew up day by day, and they all knew that the princess never wanted to see them, so the three sons who became adults all left Loulan one after another, they have the ability to do a lifetime, and they can make contributions wherever they go, and they can't do it because of a woman, and their father and son are not harmonious, and the father is alone in Loulan, and he really needs a companion when he is lonely, and he expects the princess to be good to his father, and their brothers have nothing else to ask for.
The four brothers of the Murong family, only Murong Jie, who is still old, stayed in Loulan, his father was angry that he couldn't speak, and the princess loved to ignore him, the only person who was good to her was Shen Niang, Shen Niang was everyone's lady, married to Loulan from the Central Plains, all the four books and five classics were fine, followed by Shen Niang's side, the young Murong learned a lot of things, and the words he knew were not a thousand but eight hundred, and thanks to Shen Niang's persuasion, there was Murong Jie who knew right and wrong today and did not dare to slack off.
As the saying goes, the family and everything is prosperous, it is in the Loulan Palace, there is a crack in the family, which will allow outsiders to take advantage of it, and eventually lead to the destruction of the family, if the sons of the Murong family were all in the Loulan Mansion at that time, and a few people dared to covet the Loulan Palace.
Shen Niang taught Murong Jie the men of the Central Plains, and over the years of coming to Sizhaotang, Murong Jie has learned a lot of men from the Central Plains, and Murong Jie has all kinds of ancient books of exercises at his fingertips, and he can hardly find a few words that he doesn't know, but even so, Murong Jie still doesn't know any of the words written in chains.
These words look very complicated, much more complicated than the most complex words that Murong Jie knows, which makes Murong Jie a little confused, if these words are all spells, Murong Jie has also seen a lot of spell classics, whether it is to avoid evil in the town, or to eliminate disasters and evil, he has never seen such a kind of charm.
