Chapter 152: Divine Dragon
Zuo Kun didn't shirk very much, and only said: "Little brother, thank you, there will be a period later." He ignored the crowd, but walked out with his head held high and followed the general.
Flying Fox and Zuo Kun were disturbed for a while, and it was already five watches. At the moment, he was buried on time, General Lu was attached to a coffin, everything was done, and he passed with a vigorous mourning. The eldest son of the heir, Lu Tianbo, is already the lord of a mansion, and the second son, Lu Tianlan, Li Chengfeng, and the female Rakshasa are protected at home, and there has been no accident.
Li Yuzhen waited until the funeral was over, and rushed back to Ziyun City with Wang Zhong.

"Heifeng, use Blackwater City as a stronghold, and do everything you can to capture Blue Lion City as soon as possible! Don't try to be a waste general, do you want this emperor to take action himself?!!" The black ape suddenly became angry and roared.
I saw a flash of black light, and there were already a few more blood marks on the right side of Heifeng's face, and the black ape stroked the black cat in his arms and said with a smile: "Even Xiao Hei doesn't like you, you still don't retreat!"
"Yes!" Black Peak stepped back, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and the wound on his face recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On this day, after finishing his business, Li Kecheng was about to return to the city, and it happened that his wife, Mrs. Yinghong, had sent a powerful leader to hurry up and report that something strange had happened in Blue Lion City, and he asked him to return quickly. The garrison Li Kecheng wanted to ask for details, but the leader of the newspaper only said that a few people were missing, and he couldn't say why.
Li Kecheng hurriedly returned to Blue Lion City and asked Mrs. Yinghong about the reason for the incident in the city.
Mrs. Yinghong said: "Our annual custom autumn 'moon jumping' in Blue Lion City will be held on time on the Belle grassland outside the city. Within a few days of your departure, it will be the time of the 'moon jump' routine in the fall of this year. That night the wind was thick and the moon was not very bright, but the young people of the city were burning everywhere, and it was as bright as day. This year, the young people did not go with you, and the number of them was extraordinarily large compared to previous years, singing and dancing, and it was very lively. You weren't at home, so I took my children and a few leaders with me to rejoice, and by the way, I participated in the worship ceremony, and went around again. After the third watch, he went home with the children, and only sent a few more groups of leaders to lead his subordinates to the scene to play and take care of the fire candles. ”
"I didn't know that the next morning, the leader of the scene came to report, saying that it was after the moon jump to the fifth watch, and he found that a man and a woman did not return home. Before and after the gun rock, they searched everywhere until they found the shadow of the man and woman in the red sun rising the next morning, and no one could guess the reason for the sudden disappearance of the man and woman. ”
"Moon jumping was a good day for young people to choose a mate at will, joining arms to sing and sing, singing and harmonizing, it was voluntary for both parties, there was no taboo, neither to escape, nor was there any jealousy and vendetta in the moon jumping field. When I heard this report, I felt that this was something that had never happened in the past years, and I was already amazed, but unexpectedly, a wave of them did not subside, and another wave of them rose! Another group of leaders rushed to report that on the night of the moon jump, a night patrol soldier sent to the shore of Yilong Lake behind the Spear Rock was also missing......
Before Mrs. Yinghong finished speaking, Li Kecheng was already shocked, jumped up and asked, "This thing is a little strange." How did a soldier who patrols the night disappear?" Madame Yinghong told the story.
It turns out that the area of Yilong Lake behind the Gun Rock outside the Blue Lion City is two or three miles long and one or two miles wide. On the east side of the lake is the cliff of the Spear Rock, and there is a road under the wall leading to the rock. The north side of the lake is a forest, which is deep and beautiful, and the southwest side is surrounded by a steep high ridge, and the soil name is "Elephant Trunk Chong".
There is a bamboo bridge on the lake here that can be passed, over the high ridge is a deep mountain dense forest, steep ravines and streams, there is a sheep intestine trail leading to the border of Amicheng Yunlong Mountain. There are many strange barbarians in this area, and fierce beasts and poisonous insects often appear, and the traveling merchants are regarded as fearful.
According to the companion of the missing soldier, on the night of the moon jump, they patrolled to the shore of Yilong Lake with their dart guns, and everyone separated along the lake, and he saw the missing soldier walking towards the elephant trunk rush. At this time, the night was deeper, and the people who jumped into the moon on the shore of Yilong Lake had already circled in front of the Spear Rock in a group.
By the time there was no one on the lakeside, the soldier had not yet arrived. Until dawn appeared in the sky, Yilong Lake was covered with a mist, and there was no trace of his companion, and he thought that he had secretly come back first. Unexpectedly, when the leader called the name, there was still no trace of him, and he found that a pair of men and women were missing that night, which was strange. This is what Mrs. Yinghong said.
When Li Kecheng heard this, he shrugged his thick eyebrows, pondered for a while, and suddenly shouted: "It's strange, such a big person will be lost without a trace, and there will be three of them." It's weird, it's a bit of a thing, it's something we've never done in Blue Lion City. Could it be that in Yilong Lake, it is really like the story handed down from the previous generation, there is a dragon lurking in the middle of the lake, and now it has come out to make trouble? But I believe there is no such thing. What will you do in the future? After all these days, there will be a trace of it. ”
Madame Yinghong said with a smile: "The residents of Blue Lion City were originally superstitious about ghosts and gods, especially for the hidden dragon in Yilong Lake, who also believed that it was related to the rise and fall of our Blue Lion City. Since the loss of the three people, the story of the hidden dragon has been vividly told. A few people opened their mouths, and they were stunned to see a strange dragon appear, and every time in the middle of the night when the wind and rain were miserable and the stars and moon were dull, two red lights shot out from the elephant trunk Chong Ridge, saying that this was the vision of the dragon. ”
"There is a leader of the night vigil of the spear rock, and he specially came to report to me, saying that that night on the top of the rock, I saw a huge dragon raised its head from the top of the ridge, it was more than ten zhang long, only bowed down and bowed his head, and he arrived at the heart of Yilong Lake, and his body was still on the ridge, shining brightly, as if he had built a golden bridge. The leader understood that the dragon was sucking water in the middle of the lake, and in a hurry he knelt down on the top of the rock and prayed silently, and when he looked up, he was gone. ”
As soon as he reported it vividly, he was extremely uproaring up and down. A few fathers and elders came to me and said that the appearance of the Divine Dragon of Yilong Lake is extraordinary, and I am afraid that it will affect the fate of our garrison adults, so please pay attention to it. When they say this, I am also disturbed by their words about the good and bad that have happened to you. There was a drizzle of rain one night, and after the watch, I specially brought two old and sensible leaders, armed with application blades, and rode horses quietly from the spear rock to the back of the rock, found a proper shelter from the rain, and listened quietly to the Yilong Lake and the elephant trunk chong on the opposite bank, wanting to find out with my own eyes. ”
When Mrs. Yinghong said this, Li Kecheng suddenly shouted: "Okay!" and stretched out his right arm straight, cocked his thumb, and shook it towards Mrs. Yinghong, as if to indicate that this is my Mrs. Li Kecheng.
