Chapter 17: The Mysterious Old Man

In the days that followed, Wang Lung spent his daily penance, practicing dragon techniques during the day and dragon methods at night, and lived a tiring and fulfilling life.

Because he lacked a lot of time for others to practice and absorb dragon qi in order to break through the dragon vein, the cultivation of dragon techniques and dragon methods was thousands of miles away, far exceeding the speed of others.

However, naturally, his own inner cultivation is gradually lagging behind others.

"If I can't absorb the dragon qi, I have already lost a journey, if I can't get it back on the dragon technique, my rebirth will be in vain!

It was because he practiced hard day and night, putting all his time and energy on cultivation, and his assiduity was that Li Xinghe was stunned when he saw it.

The hard work pays off, although the cultivation of the inner king dragon cannot be compared with everyone, but the dragon technique and dragon method have improved rapidly, frantically making up for the previous shortcomings, and soon the latecomers will prevail, so that everyone can see his strength.

On this day, the four of them were cultivating on their own, and suddenly Zhang Tailai came over.

Wang Lung immediately stopped, a little puzzled, this Tailai has always taught some dragon techniques and dragon techniques according to everyone's situation, and then ignored them, he has never taken the initiative to guide students, but today it is very abnormal.

The other three also stopped and saluted Zhang Tailai, "Elder." ”

Zhang Tailai snorted and said indifferently: "I came here today to tell you something...... These days, you can be regarded as having achieved a good degree of cultivation, and you can already start accepting the task. ”

Several people were moved in their hearts, knowing that this was the real test in the dragon martial arts training. Although the training here is rigorous, it is only exhaustion, but if you really participate in the mission, it is a real life, and you can't take it a long time.

"I've already taken over a task for you, a human-level mission!" Zhang Tailai said slowly, word by word.

Liu Chengyan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Human level, isn't that acceptable to a martial artist with the title of human dragon? I'm afraid our current strength is ......?"

Zhang Tailai glanced at him and said indifferently: "If you don't have the guts to connect this task, you don't need to say that you are my personal disciple." ”

Liu Chengyan's face turned white, he retreated, and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't dare to ...... if I didn't say it."

"I know you have doubts in your hearts, the so-called human-level mission, it should be at least four or five people who are mature teams of human dragons can take over, and none of you have reached the level of human dragon......s! You don't have to be too afraid, at least with me by your side, as long as you don't look for death, your lives won't be in danger. ”

Liu Chengyan's expression eased when he heard this, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Lung asked, "What exactly is the mission?"

"It's also very simple, Yingzhou Lingzhi Island and Heijiao Island are at odds, Lingzhi Island is invincible, send a messenger to my Dragon City for help. That Lingzhi Island is the territory of my Dragon City, so naturally I still have to take a look, and on the other hand, I also have to protect the safety of the Lingzhi messenger. ”

Wang Long nodded, he knew that the Kyushu Islands were centered on Zhongzhou, where Dragon City was located, and the other eight states were distributed around Zhongzhou. Among them, Yingzhou is located in the East China Sea and consists of a group of islands, and Lingzhi Island, which is close to Zhongzhou, is a small subject country controlled by Dragon City.

Li Xinghe also asked, "Elder may I, when will you leave?"

Zhang Tailai said indifferently: "Set off immediately!"

Several people were taken aback and looked at each other a few times, only the mysterious girl Jiangxue was still indifferent, without the slightest change in expression.

"Do you have any questions?!" Zhang Tailai asked in a deep voice as he swept his eyes over several people.

"Nope!"

A few people answered very happily this time, just kidding, who would dare to question the decision made by such a person?!

"Alright, let's go!"

"Where is the messenger to protect?!"

It turned out to be the mysterious girl Jiangxue who spoke, her voice was as cold as frost as always, as clear as cutting gold and jade.

"I'm already waiting at the east gate of Dragon City, let's go!" Zhang Tailai gave an order, and the four disciples under his command followed one after another, walking towards the east gate of Dragon City.

This is really the first time Wang Lung has been out of Dragon City, his heart is full of excitement, he worries every day when he is a teenager, and the dragon head will not let him out of Dragon City for a moment, so he can only put his mind on dragon skills.

"What is the outside world like?!"

As Wang Lung's thoughts continued, several people came to the east gate of Dragon City, but saw several guards guarding both sides of the city gate like stone carvings and woodcuts, and at the corner of the city wall, an old man with gray hair and a stubbled beard squatted there.

Liu Chengyan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "This is the messenger of Lingzhi Island?!"

When the sloppy old man saw a few people, his complexion changed a little, and when he heard Liu Chengyan's words, he was even more angry and said: "Why, don't I look like a messenger? Don't you know that my Lingzhi Island is fighting with Heijiao Island?!"

The old man's voice was full of old but very loud, and he suddenly roared loudly, which made Liu Chengyan startled, and hurriedly said: "Yes, please forgive me for being rude." ”

The old man did not give up, and looked forward to Zhang Tailai and said: "Will you send these stinky boys to protect me?

Zhang Tailai's expression still did not change in the slightest, and he said indifferently: "Please rest assured, these are my elite disciples, and nothing will go wrong." ”

The old man glanced at a few people, and Wang Lung even felt that his eyes changed slightly when he looked at him, but then immediately pretended not to care at all, and muttered: "If it weren't for your Zhang Tailai's face, I would have ...... a long time ago."

The latter words were not spoken, Zhang Tailai sighed lightly and said to a few people: "Let's go!"

Wang Lung was a little curious about this old man, Shicai's seemingly unconscious glance made him feel like he had been seen through, as if this sloppy old man, the so-called Lingzhi messenger, was probably not that simple.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he asked as he walked, "Dare to ask this senior's name?"

The old man glanced back at him and snorted, "Lao Tzu Xing will not change his name or surname, and the big one is called Wang Yuanku! Have you heard of it?!"

Wang Lung chuckled lightly and shook his head to indicate that he hadn't heard of it, but Zhang Tailai suddenly turned his head and glanced at this Wang Yuanyuan, but quickly turned around again.

"Oh, it turns out that the old-timers are also surnamed Wang!"

"Seniors are seniors, why do you want to add an old?!Besides, there are countless people with the surname Wang in the world, can only your Longcheng Wang family have a surname?!" Wang Yuanquan seemed to be full of anger.

Wang Lung frowned, but couldn't help but smile: "This ...... I didn't mean that. ”

Li Xinghe hurriedly opened his mouth to relieve the siege and said: "Let's ask this senior to tell us about the situation on the island, so that we can prepare in advance......

Wang Yuan glanced at him, sighed lightly, and said: "How majestic my Lingzhi Island was back then, and it was also famous in the entire Yingzhou, except for Penglai, Tiantai and other countries, who would dare to provoke it?! I can't imagine that time has passed, and now a small Black Jiao Island dares to confront us head-on! This is not only the shame of Lingzhi Island, but also the proof of the fall of Dragon City!"

Everyone frowned when they heard this, Dragon City was their homeland, and it was a place that they had believed in since childhood, and they swore to defend it, how could they allow him to belittle him so much?!

Li Xinghe was a little dissatisfied, and said in a deep voice: "Whether Dragon City is degenerate or not, I'm afraid you still have to rely on strength to speak, right?!"

Wang Yuanquan smiled, shook his head and said, "It's all a little arrogant, but it's just ...... What kind of grand occasion was in Dragon City back then, who of you knows? How many of you can see the current situation of Dragon City now? Don't look at the facts, only make judgments based on your own emotions, it's really a child's heart!"

"At that time, the Dragon City was the whole Zhongzhou, it can be said that the whole world was not the king's land, and the shore of the land was not the king's minister! All the people submitted, the world returned to the heart, and the infinite territory was respected by the dragon's head! All resolutions were made to the dragon city! And now?! The so-called Dragon City is just a name only, only the inherent city guard remains, and because of the true dragon bloodline and the secret treasure of the dragon mound, it is coveted and watched by outsiders from time to time! Isn't it sad and lamentable?!"

Everyone knows the history of Dragon City, and naturally understands these truths, but after this old man said it, he still couldn't help but feel sad and lonely in his heart.

Zhang Tailai suddenly interjected: "Then according to the words of this senior, can Dragon City still have the day of rise?!"
