Chapter 235: Windfall
Su Qiubai originally thought that the stone dragon would lend him Shennong Ding if he didn't destroy the Tomb Protection Formation, but who knew that he only got such a sentence, he naturally wouldn't give up, but continued: "Shenlong senior, please forgive the juniors for not leaving here, that Shennong Ding is very important to me, if I can't borrow this thing today, the juniors will ...... You can't leave! ”
Shi Long had already planned to continue to fall into a deep sleep, but when he heard Su Qiubai's words, he immediately said angrily: "Bold mortal! Are you blackmailing this seat? ”
Su Qiubai hurriedly said: "The juniors don't dare, it's just ...... I also ask the seniors to understand the hardships of the younger generations and lend Shennong Ding to the younger generations......"
"Ignorant mortals! How virtuous and capable are you to dare to make this seat understand you? Shi Long's angry face still did not change, "This seat has spent thousands of years in this imperial tomb, and the mortal world has nothing to do with this seat, whether you want to take revenge or save your mother, but what does it matter to this seat?" Why does this seat want to lend you Shennongding? Do you think that if you don't destroy the Five Directions Prison Array, you are qualified to come to discuss the conditions with this? I don't know how thick the sky is! ”
Although Shi Long's words were ruthless, they were not unreasonable, and Su Qiubai knew that even if he told Shi Long about his suffering, he would not be moved by it, because he had no feelings at all.
Thinking of this, Su Qiu's vernacular changed and said, "Dare to ask the seniors, how many years has it been since the Yellow Emperor's Majesty passed away?" ”
Shi Long was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he didn't expect Su Qiubai to ask such a question, so he replied: "It's been more than four thousand six hundred years, what does this have to do with you?" ”
Su Qiubai didn't answer, but asked again: "Then has he ascended to the immortal realm after the death of his old man's immortal?" ”
Shi Long stared at Su Qiubai for a long time, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts, and after a long time, he replied: "Emperor Zun's merits were complete during his lifetime, and after the death of the immortal, he naturally went straight to the immortal realm, what are you asking for?" ”
Su Qiubai nodded and said: "The younger generation has the courage to say a big rebellious word, since the Yellow Emperor has become an immortal, all mundane things have been left behind, not to mention the things in this emperor's mausoleum?" The Shennong Ding is only a dusty artifact in this imperial tomb, if this Ding has a spirit, I am afraid that it will not be willing to be silent here! ”
"Bold!" Shi Long was suddenly furious, and his huge body stood tall in front of Su Qiubai, looking down at him, as if he would swallow him at any time. "When will it be your turn as a mortal to call the shots about the Imperial Tomb? I see you're getting impatient! ”
Su Qiubai still said fearlessly: "The younger generation still thinks that what is more regrettable than the dust of the artifact is that it is the cultivation of the predecessors, but they can only stay in this dark mausoleum all day long, and spend more than 4,000 years of time, just to protect those dead things, is it really worth it?" ”
Hearing this, Shi Long seemed to touch his heart, and he was not as angry as before, and his body relaxed slightly. After a long time, he finally sighed: "Ignorant mortals, what do you know? ”
Su Qiubai saw that his tone was finally relaxed, and he hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "The younger generation is sorry for the seniors, this imperial tomb is important, but if thousands of years of time have been wasted because of this, are the seniors really willing?" ”
Shi Long suddenly laughed when he heard this, his voice was already strong, but now that he laughed, the laughter was even more shocking, if Su Qiubai's cultivation was worse, I was afraid that he would be hurt by this laughter.
"If you're not me, how do you know I'm not willing? Short-sighted, who only has his own interests in his eyes, dare to try to lobby this seat! Shi Long said with a sneer.
Su Qiubai was speechless for a moment, he came up with this method of agitation in a hurry, but who expected that the other party would not buy it at all.
"What are you looking at carved on the walls of this tomb?" Shi Long said again.
Su Qiubai became curious when he heard this, he took a cursory look just now, and saw that what was recorded on it was nothing more than the life of the Yellow Emperor, just some more important events, and when he heard Shi Long say this, he took a closer look again.
When he saw a figure in the relief, he suddenly understood that the relief also told the story of the stone dragon and the Yellow Emperor.
When he first met the Yellow Emperor, it was because he was playing in the Yellow River, which caused a flood, resulting in countless deaths and injuries to the people of Li, and the Yellow Emperor heard about this and went to deal with him personally, and finally defeated him. With his crimes, the Yellow Emperor should have cut off his dragon head to eliminate harm for the people, but remembering that he was unintentional, he spared his life and took him under the seat.
"This seat is called Pan Zhong, a lifetime with the emperor to fight in the east and west, across the world, if there is a regret, it is not able to accompany the emperor forever. The emperor has both the grace of life and the suitability of comrades-in-arms, do you still think that this seat is not worth guarding the emperor's tomb for him? Shi Long sighed.
Su Qiubai read the story of the two, and was also greatly moved by this friendship, and suddenly felt that what he just said was a little inconsiderate, so he said with some shame: "Don't blame the seniors, it's the juniors who are ignorant." It's just a senior, why don't you follow the Yellow Emperor to become an immortal? But to stay in this imperial mausoleum, spare time to remember? ”
Shi Long laughed a little helplessly when he heard this: "Silly boy, is it as easy as you think to become an immortal?" When the emperor died, this seat knew that his remaining life was not much, and he had no chance to become an immortal after all, so he gave up the body, attached the original god to this stone statue, and completely abandoned the cultivation of immortals, in exchange for the rest of his life and the emperor's coffin as a companion, this seat can be regarded as a peace of mind. ”
Su Qiubai was greatly moved when he heard this, this kind of affection is afraid that it is rare to see in the world now, I can't imagine that this stone dragon is so affectionate and righteous, so that Su Qiubai can't help but have a feeling of reverence for him.
But even so, Shennong Ding still had to borrow it, Su Qiubai hesitated again and again, but still said: "I heard about the touching friendship between the seniors and the Yellow Emperor, the juniors are really ashamed of what they said just now, and they also know that they shouldn't fight the idea of the emperor's mausoleum, but it's just ...... The younger generation still dares to say a word, that Shennong Ding ......"
Shi Long laughed out loud when he heard this, and only said after a while: "You kid is really stubborn, but this momentum of not giving up until the goal is achieved, but it has a bit of the style of this seat back then." Tell me, if this Shennong Ding seat is lent to you, how do you plan to use it? ”
Seeing that the meaning of his words was very likely to agree to borrow him Shennong Ding, Su Qiubai was immediately surprised, and hurriedly replied: "The junior borrowed this thing to improve his cultivation, so that he could have the ability to fight against the enemy!" ”
Hearing this, Shi Long snorted coldly and said, "If you think that this tripod only has such an effect, then it is really a tyrannical thing. This is one of the reasons why this seat is reluctant to lend it to you, because the power of this tripod is too powerful, and the slightest mistake will cause a catastrophe. ”
Su Qiubai replied: "The younger generation knows that the artifact is extremely powerful, but he also knows that he can't exert its true power with his own strength, so he just wants to use it to improve his cultivation, and he will never dare to use it for other purposes. ”
Shi Long smiled and said: "You are speaking lightly now, but this seat knows that people's hearts are the most insatiable, and one day you have obtained supreme mana with the help of Shennong Ding, can you still be willing to return it at that time?" Even if you are indeed an upright person, can you ensure that this treasure will not be coveted and robbed by criminals after you take it out of the Imperial Tomb, and you can protect it? If this thing is taken away by people with bad intentions, then the world is probably going to be in chaos! ”
Su Qiubai thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that what he had thought before was indeed too simple, if there were really masters from major families and sects who came to snatch this thing, then he was really not sure that he could protect it. Thinking of this, his previous mind that was bound to win was also a little shaken, because compared to his hatred, he was more worried that the world would really be in chaos because of this.
"Why, don't you dare to borrow it now?" Shi Long noticed that his expression was different and asked.
Su Qiubai hesitated again and again, but finally sighed, nodded and said: "What the seniors said is that the juniors did not think about it before, this artifact is not something that the juniors can control, if it really falls into the hands of the gangsters and causes any turmoil, then the juniors' sins will be great." ”
"Then do you borrow it or not?" Shi Long continued to ask.
It took a lot of hard work to come to this Kunlun Mountain, and when he saw that the artifact was in front of him, but he wanted to give up, Su Qiubai was still unwilling in his heart, so he was silent for a long time and did not speak. But he thought about it again and again, and finally decided to focus on the overall situation, and as for revenge, he had better think of another way.
"Don't borrow it, there will be a lot of disturbance this time, and I hope that the seniors will not blame, the younger generations will ...... And that's gone. Su Qiubai sighed and said.
Who knew that the stone dragon actually laughed again when he heard this, and said while laughing: "You kid, this seat just praised you for your tenacity, and you were shaken again so quickly." You said you wouldn't borrow it, but I still want to borrow it! ”
This time he confused Su Qiubai, he refused to borrow it when he begged to borrow it in every possible way, he was moved by what he said, and after deciding not to borrow it, he preferred to borrow it again, this guy wouldn't be playing with himself, right?
"Senior...... Why is that? Su Qiubai didn't dare to say what he thought directly, but asked cautiously.
Shi Long stopped laughing and said, "I tested you just now, and I saw that you are indeed not a greedy person who is only for your own selfishness, and I also believe that you will keep your promise and return the artifact." In fact, this seat has been guarded alone in this imperial tomb for more than 4,000 years, never thought that I could see the living again in my lifetime, I just chatted with you for a long time, and the pain of loneliness for many years is also slightly alleviated. It is not unreasonable for you to have a word, that artifact is placed in this imperial tomb, after all, it is just a dead thing, and if it is placed in the hands of useful people, it can be regarded as living up to the name of the artifact. ”
Su Qiubai was still a little hesitant and said, "It's just ...... What the predecessor said just now also makes sense, if the artifact is in the world and causes a scramble, the consequences are only unimaginable. ”
"You kid, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, a lot of worries! Since this seat said that it will borrow you, you can take it! With the artifact in hand, do you still need to be afraid of the person who competes? If you are still not at ease, this seat will lend you another thing, and with this thing in hand, this seat will not believe how many people in this world will be your opponents? Shi Long said, and when the dragon's mouth opened slightly, two things appeared out of thin air in front of Su Qiubai.
One of them is a four-legged square tripod, presumably the Shennong tripod, and the other is a sword with a black body, Su Qiubai can't see what kind of material it is, but feels that there seems to be a faint flow of brilliance in it, and at a glance, he knows that it is not a mortal thing.
"This is the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan's portable sword, his life with him to fight in all directions, drinking countless blood, although not as vast as Shennong Ding, but also a rare treasure. This seat will lend it to you together, for the protection of the god Nongding will not be robbed by the gangsters, you must make good use of it, do not live up to the name of the artifact. Shi Long admonished.
Could it be that this is the legendary ...... Xuanyuan Excalibur! Unexpectedly, he got two treasures at once on this trip, and this sudden luck made him a little unbelievable, and he couldn't help but step forward and touch the hilt of the divine sword, and suddenly felt that the aura was surging, and it was indeed an artifact!
"Senior...... The seniors are so gracious, and the juniors really don't know how to repay them! Su Qiubai said, and was about to kneel on the ground.
"I don't like to listen to these polite words, and I don't need anything in return from you, borrowing your things is voluntary from this seat, and you don't have to care too much, just remember your oath, and after the purpose is achieved, return the treasure as promised." Shi Long stopped his gesture of thanks and said.
Although he said this, Su Qiubai still couldn't hide the gratitude in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything more, only nodded and said: "The younger generation must be a word, and the artifact will definitely be returned after the matter is completed. ”
Shi Long nodded, and handed Su Qiubai another thing, but it was a stone bead: "You can also take this thing together, if one day you really can't protect these two artifacts, crush this stone bead, and this seat will personally appear and take back the artifact." ”
Su Qiubai took the stone bead, which dispelled his previous worries about not being able to protect the artifact, and after cherishing it, Su Qiubai said goodbye to Shi Long: "Thank you for the generosity of the seniors, the juniors will leave." ”
Shi Long responded, but saw that Su Qiubai was about to lean over to carry the Shennong Ding, so he smiled and said, "You stupid, don't you know that this artifact can change in size and be easy to carry?" ”
Su Qiubai's face turned red when he heard this, and then he grabbed the edge of Shennong Ding, and his heart moved, and sure enough, he saw that it had shrunk in a circle. In the end, he reduced the size of Shennong Ding's fist, put it in the backpack he carried, and carried the Xuanyuan sword on his back, and then said goodbye and left.
When the heavy stone door fell in front of him again, looking at the stone dragon entrenched in the tomb, thinking of his experience for half a day, Su Qiubai suddenly felt as if he was in a different world, but he didn't have the heart to sigh at this time, and finally bowed like a stone dragon and said goodbye, then turned around and walked the way he came.
