Chapter 112: The Secret Art of Dragon Training
I looked at Wei Fox who was rubbing his shoulders and beating his legs in a daze, and suddenly felt very ashamed, ashamed to the point of internal injury......
"Ahh Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I hurriedly refused: "Wei Qing, you have worked hard for so long, I am recovering well now, and my spirit is good." You just hold on to me, and you have to conserve your strength. ”
I didn't say it out of shyness! I glanced at the fire, and when the last of the wood burned out, there was nothing left to keep warm. If you stay any longer, it is estimated that it will be a death, so it is better to conserve your physical strength and hope to go out.
"That's fine. He didn't reject my proposal, he just pulled me up and took me to my side to help.
Wei Jingyuan led me to the back of the statue and asked me to stand against the wall. Then, he touched his chin and pressed seven reliefs on the wall behind him, and then the stone seat of the statue rumbled, and on the ground in front of me, a stone slab slowly opened, and finally leaned against the stone seat at the foot of the statue.
"Tunnel?!" I stared at the hole with wide eyes and curiosity, "Could it be that the scroll is hidden inside?" I was so excited that I was about to jump on one foot.
However, Wei Jingyuan only glanced at the earth lightly and said, "There are no scrolls in it, some are Dao Mountain." As he spoke, he flew up and took two iron arrows, wrapped them in the strips of cloth I had torn off, dipped them in tung oil, lit them, and threw one in.
As the firelight lit up, a forest of blades was clearly visible inside. Although it has been rusted after years of baptism, it is still creepy to watch. There was also a extinguished torch lying inside, which was probably thrown by Wei Fox when I was in a daze.
"Wei Qing, is this what you take me to see?" I looked at him suspiciously, Wei Fox wouldn't be so boring, would he? Or, he wanted to throw the little lady and me in?!
While I was thinking about it, Wei Jingyuan stretched out his index finger and shook it: "What I want to show you is this." So saying, he stepped on the slab resting on the pedestal, and with a little force, the edge above the slab immediately pressed a groove of the same shape into the pedestal.
Then, the sleeve on the left side of the sculpture fell down silently, and it turned out to be a delicate stone staircase!
"Let's go. Wei Jingyuan helped me up the stone steps, and the "sleeves" of the statue were originally in the form of an arched door. After entering, I found that there was a small space that could almost accommodate five or six people.
Originally, this statue was carved from mountain stone on the spot. Probably from the head to the shoulders, there are several raised rocks with a large mouthful of copper on them. The copper tripod has two sink-like ears, each extending into the left and right arms, which should be the place where the fire dragon outside burns and stores oil.
"The scroll you're looking for should be that. Wei Jingyuan leaned towards the opposite side with a torch, and saw that about the heart of the statue, there was a small platform embedded with finely carved jade.
On the countertop is a beautiful wooden box with a black lacquer base and cinnabar paintings. A golden lock hangs from the box, and the key rests on the platform.
I turned my head to look at him, and under his encouraging gaze, I approached the platform step by step, and the solemn atmosphere as if I was approaching the heart of my ancestors immediately locked me.
"Whew-" I took a few deep breaths and rubbed my sweaty palms on my shirt before I went to get the key. My heart was pounding violently, and my hand holding the key was shaking because I was so nervous.
Wei Jingyuan, who has always been impatient, didn't urge, and his hand around my shoulder was slightly forced, as if to soothe my nervousness.
I opened the dragon lock with a trembling hand, and after a crunch click, I pulled out the lock and slowly lifted the lid. Suddenly, Wei Jingyuan's hand slid over his shoulder and covered my mouth and nose: "Be careful of poison." ”
I was stunned, but I agreed and did not refuse.
However, when I opened the wooden box completely, there was nothing inside but a delicate cylindrical jade carving.
Wei Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, let go of his hand and wrapped his arms around my shoulder again and said, "Is it it?" He was talking about the jade carving, although he was unfamiliar with this jade carving, but I was very familiar with the little lady.
When I first became the lord of the city, in the sarcophagus under the study, my father once took out an identical jade carving.
"It'......," I replied in a dry, already tense voice. Carefully picked up the jade carving with both hands, opened the cover on it, and reached in and easily touched the scroll, and the familiar feeling made me almost scream.
"Quick! Put me on the ground, and I'll check it carefully. I excitedly took out the scroll and removed the ribbon on it, and as soon as I opened it, the four big characters of "How to Train the Dragon" embroidered with dark gold thread immediately came into view.
After Wei Jingyuan helped me to sit down on the edge of the stone wall, he also sat down with a torch, but his back was to me, deliberately avoiding suspicion.
By the light of the fire, I looked at the scroll.
Foundation chapter, Bailong Dan. When the descendants of the dragon clan are three years old, the priests of the clan will hold a grand ceremony to pray for the children's blessings and defilement, and the children will be fed and drunk during the ceremony, which is the mountain spring water that dissolves the Bailong Dan.
The matter of the Bailong Pill can be called the top secret of the clan, and only the city lord and the priest of the clan who are in charge of the alchemy sacrifice know about it. To others, it is nothing more than ordinary mountain spring water used to pray for blessings. After drinking the water of Longyuan, the child will have the physique of the dragons and will be recognized by the dragons.
Could it be that this Bailong Pill is the reason why only the Qi family can tame dragons? I followed and looked down, and sure enough, I got the answer in the "Priest Chapter, Bailong Dan Refining". Bailong Dan, composed of the essence blood of hundreds of dragons, eggshells...... and other seventy-three special materials.
It takes at least three months to collect materials, six months to refine, and one month to cool and select those who are qualified. After that, it is finely mixed with clean spring water and white grass ash for two months to turn it into a white pill like snow. It takes more than a year to refine each batch.
After taking it, it will be integrated into the blood and veins and continue to the next generation, if the next generation also takes the Bailong Pill, the talent will be saved, and the acquired efforts to train the dragon can be further improved.
However, if the newborn does not feed the Bailong Pill, the technique of attracting the dragon and taming the dragon will weaken with the continuation of the generations, and finally disappear......
I see! In the hundreds of years since the Fenglong clan fled to Wolong Valley, there has never been an official position of "priest" recorded in the history books, and it must have been killed before, and the Qi family is weaker and weaker from generation to generation because there is no Bailong Pill to take.
Based on this reasoning, the main family of the city lord also had more children due to inheritance problems, which caused the effect of Bailong Dan to fade faster, so it became the weakest branch of dragon taming.
