Section 32 ...... Dragon?! (below)
Soon, the whole city was in a stir.
At that time, the rain was falling, the wind was blowing, the sky was dark, and the stones were flying, but almost all those who could climb the city walls, or other high places, climbed as high as they could with their eyes wide, and looked to the northeast without paying attention to the rain that was frantically beating on them.
"Lord Han, this is ......, this is ......"
Chen Anguo has been in battle for a long time and has never seen anything, but at this moment, he can't even speak steadily, and every word is trembling. But no one would laugh at him, because the other people who were clustered around Han Sha, such as Lin Deqi, Liu Boxiang and others, were now all earthy, shaking like chaff, and couldn't even speak.
"According to the official's opinion, it is a bit like ......"
Although he was a civil official, Han Sha was the most generous at this time, his expression was calm, and he groaned.
"Demonic ...... It's a demon!"
Before Han Sha's judgment could be made, a frightened cry suddenly came from under the city wall, and he ran towards the city while shouting.
"Lord Han, this is the demon that the Cthulhus worship...... Kill it quickly! ”
Panting and running up, it was the number two person of the Nestorianan Sect, Archbishop Jems, at this moment, he even lost his hat when he ran, his clothes were scattered, he was sweating profusely, embarrassed, and his face was full of the word "fear"!
"Nonsense!"
Before Han Sha could speak, he had already snatched Xie Baihu next to him, and said angrily: "You ghost, you know the gods of the country there!" That's clearly ......"
As he spoke, Xie Baihu pointed to the west and said angrily: "...... Dragon! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Xie Baihu angrily reprimanded Jems, a gust of wind blew, blowing away the purple clouds that shrouded the mountain peaks, and the whole city suddenly exclaimed in unison, but it completely suppressed Xie Baihu's voice.
The mountain was a lonely peak, not very high, but it was always a hundred feet high, and the whole body was full of craggy stones that were dark black, and only a very small amount of yellowish soil in some cracks contained the only little green that fed the pinnacles, but now, whether it was black, yellow, or green, all of them were invisible, and when you looked at the past, there was only a dark red.
From the foot of the mountain, one or two circles, the crimson crimson thicker than the house spirals upward, completely enveloping the whole peak, and on the peak, which used to be like a remnant piercing the sky, now there is a huge human head crooked, eyes closed, and a sound sleep.
…… Coiled on the mountain, it turned out to be a human-faced snake with a length of thousands of feet!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About an hour ago, continuous vibrations set off from the stone mountain, alarming the entire Wurong City, and at the same time, there were also thick red clouds gushing out from the ground, engulfing the mountain.
At that time, he was drinking tea on the beach, and Zhang Yuankong saw the gushing out of the red cloud for the first time, and the human-headed giant snake that slowly crawled out of the ground after the red cloud was blown away by the sea breeze.
(The human face is naked, the body is naked, and the eyes are straight...... )
When he was horrified to find that the words in his memory could fully correspond to the giant beast in front of him, Zhang Yuankong could only tell himself that he had indeed seen with his own eyes what he thought was just a legend: Candle Jiuyin, or rather...... Candle Dragon!
After confirming this conclusion, Zhang Yuankong rushed back to the city at full speed--- at this time, the city had begun to commotion.
First the soldiers patrolled the city, then those who lingered on the heights, and then the city was full of frightened people running wildly in the streets, shouting and colliding with each other. When Zhang Yuankong passed through the city gate, he saw such a scene.
(Fortunately, Lu Zhizhang and they are no longer there...... )
couldn't help but flash such a thought, after that, Zhang Yuankong quickly met with the two junior brothers, and went to the county guard's mansion, after listening to Zhang Yuankong's introduction, Han Sha immediately made a decision, went to the city to watch the situation, in the process, Chen Anguo, Liu Boxiang and others kept coming, and in the end, it became the city head is what it is now.
While Xie Baihu was angrily reprimanded, almost all the Xia people who had read some books were looking at Jems with angry or contemptuous eyes, and even Chen Anguo, although he did not echo, was also smiling coldly.
"Bishop Zhe, you probably don't know the Xia people's classics."
Smiling, Han Sha introduced to Jems that this was the legendary mythical beast "Candle Dragon" of the Xia people, not the "demon" he thought.
"Long Xian...... This is auspicious. ”
As he spoke, Han Sha smiled happily and looked around, whenever he saw someone, he would try to pull the corners of his mouth, showing a wry smile--- it is true that the appearance of the dragon is usually considered auspicious, but after all, this is not a double-sized ear of rice, not a pure white or pure black beast, not some heavenly text or a bird that is beyond imagination...... It's a dragon! It's a dragon bigger than the entire mountain!
"Lord Han."
Arriving a little later than Jems, but with a much more relaxed expression, Aroben ascended to the top of the city, saluted and greeted him without hastiness, and then, with a heavy expression, spoke.
"I just checked the book, and you're right, it's exactly the same as the 'candle dragon' in the legend of the Xia Kingdom, but ...... The Jemes brothers were right. ”
Looking at Han Sha calmly, as well as everyone, Aroben said, "This is the candle dragon, but ...... This is also a demon. ”
"Lord Han, there are some things, I thought it was just Ludwig's fantasies, but now it seems that they may be right!"
"Ludwig? You mean...... Lu Zhizhang, those people? ”
actually knew Lu Zhizhang's real name, and after thinking about it, Han Sha laughed, waving his hand while laughing, saying that Aroben was really thinking too much.
"What primeval ruler hidden deep underground, what evil thoughts waiting to return...... It's just that they are ignorant and don't understand the old things. The candle dragon is a sacred object, how can it be compared to a demon? Lord Dafa, don't say this kind of foolish words again in the future! ”
While Han Sha was talking, there was suddenly another exclamation from the city.
"Candle Dragon...... It's moving! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The process of crawling out of the ground took more than an hour, and then, the candle dragon, which had finally climbed to the top of the peak, hovered over the mountain, drooped its head, as if asleep, and never moved again, until this moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the head of the person the size of the mountain slowly rose up and opened its eyes.
…… Its eyes are obscure, and its vision is clear!
At the same time as the candle dragon's eyes opened, the originally dim sky seemed to have been suddenly torn off the curtain wrapped above, and it instantly brightened, and the wind and rain that had been great also stopped in an instant.
"Sure enough, it's a candle dragon!"
For the people and merchants cheering all over the city, they only knew that this was probably the manifestation of the dragon god, and the clouds and rain dispersed, but for Han Sha and these people who were familiar with the classics of a hundred schools, this was clearly another confirmation of the records in the ancient books.
"Li Zhenren, Zhang Zhenren, Candle Dragon was born, this is a good omen."
Ignoring Aroben and smiling, Han Sha was talking idly with Li Nachou and Zhang Yuan, who were standing beside him.
"This official has been in Wurong for many years, and he has never heard that this place is the place where the dragon lives, as soon as the two real people came, the candle dragon appeared, presumably because of the deep Taoism and the induction of heaven and man."
"How dare you."
"How dare you."
Han Sha could laugh, but Li Naqi and Zhang Yuankong didn't dare to take it seriously, and when they said a few polite words, they saw the candle dragon slowly squirming and standing upright from the mountain peak.
Originally, this candle dragon coiled up the mountain, entangled the stone peak more than 100 zhang high until there was no earth and stone, although everyone estimated that there should be a thousand zhang, but after all, it was only an estimate, and there was no way to know how huge it was. Until now, seeing it slowly swaying and standing upright, and in the blink of an eye its head was nearly a hundred feet above the mountain, almost reaching into the clouds, but the body coiled on the mountain seemed to have never moved at all. Suddenly, there was another amazement, and some people even frowned and scrutinized, wanting to write a poem to Ji Qisheng.
…… Then they saw that the candle dragon opened its mouth.
No food, no sleep, no rest, wind and rain are admonishment.
When the mouth is closed, the candle dragon looks like a very normal human face--- although it is too big, but as soon as the mouth is opened, everyone immediately realizes that the candle dragon, he is first of all a dragon body!
The mouth was opened, and it cracked directly to the sides of the cheeks, and from a distance, it looked like a bottomless ditch, and in the ditch, there was a cold rush.
…… Get out of here!
"Wait, it's not Qingyuan ...... there"
The scream suddenly sounded, and then stopped abruptly, only for a moment, the billowing freezing gas spewed out from the mouth of the candle dragon has completely covered the Qingyuan Mountain located more than ten miles away, when the white frozen gas dissipated, the entire mountain peak was covered with a thick layer of ice armor, crystal clear, shining with beautiful light in this June sun.
Then, "click", "click", crisp explosion sounds sounded one after another, at first only one or two intermittently, and then, the frequency gradually accelerated, gradually accelerated, and finally became like popping beans and firecrackers, continuous sounds.
"Boom!"
The ice disintegrated, and those who were frozen in it, whether it was the temples and buildings that had been built by Qingyuan Dongtian for many years, or the monks and Taoists living in Dongtian, with this loud sound, at the same time, burst like dust!
“…… Scold. ”
Like a sigh, like a roar, a terrible sound came from the mouth of the candle dragon, and then, as if satisfied, it slowly closed its mouth, closed its eyes, and curled back up on the top of the mountain, no longer moving.
…… It's dark again.
"Lord Han."
From the moment the candle dragon spewed out freezing gas to wipe out the entire Qingyuan Mountain, the head of the city, and even the entire Wurong City, fell into a death-like silence, and everyone stood in a daze, not speaking, not moving, and this lasted for a long time, until Aroben broke the silence.
"Dafa Master ......"
Slowly turning around, looking at Aroben, Han Sha said: "Keep people, detachment, if there is any change, report to me at any time!" Someone next to him immediately agreed to step back and arrange manpower.
"I think we need to have a long talk."
Bowing deeply, Aroben said, "Dare not obey your fate." ”
