Chapter 18: The Seven Nights of the Dragon

Taoism, foggy mountain streams.

The morning light shimmered, and the light that shone from the horizon dyed the thousands of miles of ancient forest with a layer of beautiful golden red.

Countless dense and lush canopies crowded one after another, competing for the light, leaving only a few bright colors leaking through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting slender pillars of light in the forest, slightly dispelling the darkness.

But even so, the various scenes in the forest still seem unusually blurry, dim and mysterious, and it is difficult to discern the outline.

In the early morning mist, a plain white figure passed through the dense and huge tree trunks, stepping on the soft branches and leaves to move quickly, like light clouds, and the darkness and complex terrain in the forest did not seem to bring them the slightest obstacle.

Yan Hong walked briskly, walking slowly in this quiet mountain, climbing the steps, like a flowing cloud floating at will and between the mountains.

The water vapor in the air has just reached the body, and before he can wet his sleeves, he will slide like a lotus leaf falling on the water, and he will not be like the carefree one in front of him, because he has been walking in the forest for a long time, his robe is slightly wet, and there are tiny droplets of water faintly falling between his beard and hair.

The stone path is narrow and winding, broken and mottled, and the weeds on both sides reach waist-high, almost completely covering the road ahead, and it is obvious that no one has walked it for a long time.

The winding path leads to the quiet Yanhong slowly pacing on the trail, all the way through the grassland, wading through the clear stream, climbing the dangerous peak, going down the secluded stream, the mountain is more and more strange, quiet, exuding the natural atmosphere that has not been carved by the world.

With the passage of time, the sun gradually rises, the clouds gradually open, the valley forest becomes brighter, and the beautiful scenery becomes more and more clear and distinct.

Stepping on the soft soil and fallen leaves, the eyes are full of beautiful mountain peaks, trees climbing out, green water flowing, rocks and moss, birds and flowers faintly heard, the sound of water is murmuring, around the trees through the forest, washing the ears and clearing the heart.

The more you go forward, the more the road turns and twists, the potholes are bumpy, it is difficult to settle down, but the scenery is also more bright and magnificent, the wonderful images are thousands, giving people a kind of mountain and water and doubtful road, the willows and flowers are bright and the feeling of another village, I don't know how long it took, turn a heavy mountain wall, the eyes suddenly brighten, suddenly opened.

I saw the green shade encircled, separated by a secluded valley, one of the streams was flooded with clear waves, flowing slopes and flowing stones, like a jade belt winding out from the deepest part of the valley, the Zhilan on both sides of the bank was thick, the grass and trees were fluttering, there were beast shadows ambushing from time to time, the birds and birds were frightened, and there was no lack of vitality in the secluded.

Looking deeper, I saw that the walls were heavy, opening and closing, and the green trees on them were stacked with clouds, leaning against the wall and hanging upside down, as if a curtain hanging on the blue and blue was staggered and drooping, cutting off the line of sight.

As the two of them continued to walk along the stream, the green mountain curtains opened up in front of them, revealing the beautiful scenery behind them.

Soon, a white horse appeared in the verdant mountains, and a waterfall fell from the cliff and appeared in the eyes.

"The junior Yan Hong came to meet the Taoist Yuanchen Zhenren, and asked the seniors to give him a meeting."

"No need to be polite, little friend, let's go inside."

The mellow voice echoed in the quiet valley, and in an instant, the rapids in front of me actually parted from the middle, and a portal came into view.

Change the sky and the earth, and change the stars!

This is, the great power of the realm of returning to the ruins!

Yan Hong saluted again and walked in slowly.

After stepping into the bamboo forest, it is as if you have stepped into another world, and the hustle and bustle of the earthly world are all gone away in an instant, leaving only the clarity and tranquility like a cold pool.

The golden sunlight sprinkled down, printing thousands of leaf shadows, the breeze shook the bamboo, and the sound of the waves sounded.

There is no road in the forest, Yan Hong is dressed in white, stepping on the flexible green grass and surrounded by greenery, his eyes are full of green and blue, as if walking in a world composed of green jade.

One qiē, it is so refreshing and intoxicating.

Here, stepping on a leisurely pace, he also unconsciously wiped away the many thoughts that were turning in his mind, his heart was clear, thoughtless, just following the faint sound of water.

Soon, turning around the clumps of green bamboos and pulling out a few young branches, Yan Hong finally came to a quiet and quiet place filled with light water vapor.

Directly ahead, a torrent that is not very vast, but fast and beautiful enough to rush and spread along the half-pale and half-white, tree-shaded rock wall, as if thousands of silver threads converged into a hanging horse, pouring down from the sky, hitting and turning eight times on the way, and finally pouring into a deep pool.

In the meantime, countless water droplets are ejected in all directions, and under the illumination of the sun, it is like thousands of crystal clear pearls splashing outward, scattering, and sprinkling a colorful glow halfway up the waterfall.

As the water poured in, the surface of the deep pool continued to spread around the water lines, reaching the shore and returning, gradually disappearing, and sparkling waves.

The deepest part of the pond water is a piece of green and blue, like a jade thick green dripping, from deep to shallow, and from green to blue and white quickly gradual, and finally to the shore, the bottom is already clearly visible, clear as nothing.

The flowers and trees on the shore are clustered, the purple and red, looking at the pool from the shore, only to see a few fish under the vivid flower shadow seem to be swimming in the void, it is a beautiful and quiet picture of the fish swimming in the flower pool.

Wait, here...... It's too quiet.

Yan Hong paced to the edge of the pool, looked around, and suddenly found something abnormal in his heart.

Along the way, the bamboo forest was so quiet and deep that it was ethereal and quiet, so that when he stepped into the range of this place, he didn't notice that there was no sound here.

Yes, there was no sound at all, whether it was the waterfall rushing into the pool, splashing water and flowers, or the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests, all of them turned into silence here.

It's as if a mysterious force has cut this place off from the outside world, sucking the rules governing sound out of this small world.

Try to see if you can speak.

Yan Hong frowned slightly, opened his mouth and spit out, but only to see his lips open and close, and there was still no sound coming out.

Sure enough, it is rumored that the sky and the earth have changed, the stars have changed, and it has become a small world of its own.

Yan Hong's heart admired, admiration spontaneously arose, returning to the realm of the void of great magical powers, when the real god is extremely strange, "This is Yan Hong's little friend" A gentle and indifferent, like a spring rain suddenly sounded in this silent place.

There is a sound! Is that person?

Yan Hong turned his head suddenly, looked at the place where the voice came from, and found that not far from the waterfall, in the pool, on a big bluestone, an old man with crane hair and a childish face and a plain Taoist robe was sitting quietly, looking at himself with a pair of clear and innocent eyes.

How so? That position, I should have been able to see it directly as soon as I came here, but until now, until he made a sound, I realized that his existence zài Tao gives birth to all things, and man and heaven are one, body and mind are one, and things and self are indistinguishable, mixed as one, this is ...... The realm of materialization?

Although he had already guessed and prepared when he found that this place was silent, at this moment, he still inevitably felt a shock in his heart.

Sure enough, this Taoist senior has gone farther than me, if I am a near immortal, then he has already begun to transform into an immortal, and he is only one step away from forming a Dao fruit and shattering the void.

"Down there is Yan Hong, I don't know what the predecessors call me?" Yan Hong quickly recovered from the shock and stood on the shore and saluted.

"I don't dare to be a young man, and he has come to such a point, which really shocked the old man, and I have to sigh that the future is terrifying, the old Taoist Song Takako, take the liberty to invite the little friend here, and please don't be weird."

The Taoist name [Song Longzi] and the honorific name [Yuanchen Zhenren] are the first people in Taoism today.

Yan Hong's heart was clear, and he bowed slightly, "The younger generation has seen Yuanchen Zhenren." ”

"I don't know if Yuanchen Zhenren invited the juniors to come, what advice do you have?" Yan Hong said.

"I don't dare to give advice, but there is one thing, I promise to tell my little friend, so as to be sure." Takako Matsu said kindly.

"In this case, please show it to the seniors." Yan Hong said.

"Huh...... Xiaoyou doesn't have to be so formal, and come forward to sit down and listen to the old Tao I say in detail. With a wave of his long sleeves, he motioned for Yan Hong to sit down.

Yan Hong and Matsu Takashi sat opposite each other, drinking the famous tea slowly, and after Sumeru, Matsu Takako slowly put down the teacup and told a qiē eloquently.

"Presumably, Xun Kuang has already informed Xiaoyou about the [Canglong Seven Nights]?" Takako Matsu said.

"Master Xun did mention this to his juniors, but he didn't explain it in detail, he just said that the time had not come." Yan Hong said.

"So Lao Dao will explain this matter to Xiaoyou in detail." Matsutako stroked his beard with one hand and said slowly.

"I would like to hear the details...... Yan Hong put down the teacup in his hand and listened attentively.

"It's a long story...... The reason for this can be traced back to the ancient world, when King Wu was defeated, and the army of King Wu was defeated in Muye, and the 600-year-old foundation of Chengtang fell apart. ”

"The younger generation knows about this matter, but I don't know what it has to do with the Canglong Seven Nights?" Yan Hong asked.

"The battle of Muye, the cause is very deep, the spirit of Chengtang's Sheji is Xuanniao, that is, [Fengling], and the spirit of Ji's Zhou clan is [Dragon Spirit], the battle of Makino Chengtang's 500,000 army was defeated by 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Ji clan, except for Jiang Taishi's strategy at that time, it was all because [Fengling] was defeated by [Dragon Spirit]!"

"Feng Ling? Dragon Spirit?! Such a divine object, there really exists in the world! Yan Hong was very surprised.

"Don't be impatient...... Let's listen to the old story...... After the dragon spirit defeated the phoenix spirit, Jiang Taishi cast a spell to seal the phoenix spirit true yuan with the four directions, and set up the four elephant seals, and now thousands of years have passed, the phoenix spirit has already been refined, returned to the leyline, and suppressed Kyushu. ”

"How strange is this?!" Yan Hong said in surprise.

"There are no wonders in the world, so don't be surprised...... After that, King Wu of Zhou and Taishi Jiang found the former [Yuwang Jiuding] in the capital of Emperor Chengtang. Matsutako said.

"Shhhh Yan Hong gasped, it was Yuwang Jiuding again, and it was Dragon and Phoenix, things were really completely unexpected, and then Yan Hong held his breath and listened carefully.

Seeing this, Song Longzi nodded slightly and continued, "The continuation of the dynasty lies in luck, Jiang Shang uses Jiuding as a medium, casts a spell according to the luck of the world, and gathers the national fortune for eight hundred years for the Great Zhou...... However, Jiang Shang remained in the mortal world after all, and when he reached the end of his life, he could not help but consider it for future generations.

Therefore, he invited Zhou Gongdan to build the [Fengshentai] on the coast of the East China Sea, called the suppression of the sea eye, but in fact, it was the lifeblood of the Jiang family, and in this way, he intercepted the national fortune of the Great Thursday for a hundred years! ”

"Four hundred years?!" Yan Hong was dumbfounded.

"Yes, it's really four hundred years, because of this, the power of Jiuding is leaked, the heavenly veins are unstable, fortunately, the four elephant arrays stabilize the phoenix spirit to suppress the earth's veins, and the Zhou family has survived for four hundred years, so there is now the chaotic era of the Warring States."

"That'...... The younger generation dared to ask, in the past, there were disputes among the seven kingdoms in the world, and the Qi country of the Eastern Regions of the Jiang clan was channeled by a courtier more than a hundred years ago, it was [Tian Chen Channeling Qi] What is the explanation? ”

"That's a good question...... The so-called chaos at the beginning of the opening of the party has two ways of heaven and earth, Tianyan forty-nine, geochemical Kyushu, the world's luck has nine points, and there is one that escapes, which is the intention of Jiuding; The seven kingdoms of the world share seven points of luck, and the Zhou family has two points left, and has not died in the country, the Jiang family is a minister, and the luck of a certain monarch will naturally be eaten by the royal family Qiyun. ”

"I see, senior, please continue." Yan Hong said.

"Well...... Canglong Qisu is to reunite Yuwang Jiuding, converge the spirit of the royal road in the world, and then go to the Eastern Regions to break the ban on the god platform, and release the fortune of the huge dynasty. ”

"I see, this is the Seven Residences of Canglong, the Seven Tripods are hidden in the Seven Kingdoms, where are the remaining two Tripods?" Yan Hong asked.

"The remaining two tripods, in the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum!" Takako Matsu replied.

"I see...... The ancestor of the Ji family, the Yellow Emperor, Ji Xuanyuan, and the Zhou people are very calculating. Yan Hong smiled.

"Little friend, don't forget, you are also the Ji family!" Takako Matsu smiled kindly.

"Uh...... What do you mean by what the predecessors said? Although he vaguely guessed it, Yan Hong was in a state of mind at the moment, and he still wanted to say something to confirm.

"The Jiuding Great Array cannot be opened if it is not the Lord of the Heavenly Mandate Royal Road, the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum cannot be opened if it is not the descendants of the Ji family, and the Fengshentai is not allowed to enter without permission, otherwise the luck of the huge dynasty of more than 400 years can instantly snatch people's minds and destroy people's souls."

"I see...... Dare to ask the seniors, in the next dynasty, will there only be those 400 years of national fortune? Yan Hong said slowly.

"Definitely...... Definitely...... The 400 years of national fortune is the survival of the Zhou family, and the foundation of the national fortune lies in the king's governance of the people, which is the so-called Shuntian people, if the king is virtuous, then the dynasty has a long fortune, if the king is tyrannical and unreasonable, then just like the king of Wu in general, there are people who replace them came into being. Matsutako said.

"I see...... So what is the meaning of the mysterious copper box that has been kept by the descendants of the Seven Kingdoms now? Yan Hong continued to ask.

"Hehe, the copper box can only be driven by the descendants of the Ji clan, and now there is one in each of the seven countries, but it can't be activated It is here that the seven copper boxes are gathered...... As expected, two other boxes are stored in the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, nine boxes, corresponding to nine tripods, and ninety-nine to one can open the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum to take out the remaining two tripods. Matsutako said.

"I see...... Then why do you need the Ji clan of royal blood to unite them? Yan Hong asked.

"This ...... Lao Dao is not the Ji family, I don't know, speaking of which, what Lao Dao said to you is a record left when the junior brother was still in the faction! Matsutako said.

"I don't know who the senior brother is?"

"Huh...... It is now the Yin and Yang family in charge, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi! ”

"Shhhh

Yan Hong's heart was shocked, and the clues of this qiē were finally connected.

Canglong Qisu, the lifeline of the dragon and phoenix, the nine tripods of Yuwang, the luck of the gods, the bloodline of the Ji family, the only one in the end, when this qiē is gathered, it is the foundation of a prosperous dynasty!
