Text Act 1: The Spread of the Heart_Chapter 4: The Will of Fire (I)
"Little ghost, just point a sword at me, but it's very dangerous." The dragon smiled and said lightly.
Dongfang Ziyan didn't understand Shangguan Yuanji's words at all, and he didn't understand why he aimed his sword at the dragon, but Shangguan Yuanji didn't have the slightest intention of backing down, and he couldn't understand it more and more. "Hmph, I'll ask you again," Shangguan Yuanji looked directly at the dragon's golden eyes that shone with a demonic light, and said, "Who are you?" ”
The surrounding environment suddenly quieted down, and the dragon's face was still as calm as water, but Shangguan Yuanji's face was very bad, and he was trembling as he held the Wind Cutting Sword tightly, because the man in front of him was ······
"Hey...... Yuan Ji, I have something to say. Ziyan tried to stop things from getting worse.
Shangguan Yuan didn't look back, "Hurry up and answer!" He pressed his sword against the dragon's slender neck with a swipe, "Tell me where the Great Sage Master has gone?" Who are you and who are you? ”
"Great Sage?" Dongfang Ziyan suddenly remembered something. The so-called Great Sage Master is one of the supreme figures of the human race, and has always been in charge of the occult techniques of the human race and the astronomical calendar and geographical instruments, and the Great Sage Master has been succeeded by the "Sereent family" since ancient times, and it can be said that the Sereent family is the "Great Sage Master family". But now, as far as Dongfang Ziyan knows, there is only one person left in the Selente family, and the Great Saint Master has been living in seclusion in this Hundred Grass Valley for decades. This is a well-known thing among the nobles, and the young man in front of him said that he was a bamboo forest monk in this Hundred Grass Valley, which means that he admitted that he was the valley master here, such a young person, could he be a great sage master? Now Ziyan didn't have any doubts about Yuan Ji's actions.
The dragon just smiled again, and a mandala flower seemed to bloom in the pupils of his eyes, which made people feel beautiful and terrifying, Shangguan Yuanji couldn't bear it anymore, and his hand rose and fell, and the wind cut sword and slashed at the dragon's neck!! But the dragon had already blocked the attack with the Golden Wings Slashing Iron Sword like lightning, this speed was completely incomparable to Shangguan Yuanji, the smile on the dragon's face seemed to be a sharp sword at the moment, and his right hand stretched out to Yuanji's head like a stinger.
"Hey ······" Ziyan's expression froze, obviously he hadn't reacted yet.
The dragon's right hand stretched out in front of Shangguan Yuanji, suddenly touched the top of Yuanji's head, and squatted in front of him, "It's not good for children to be reckless, you have to learn to be like Ziyan, you have to calm down in everything you do." ”
Shangguan Yuan came back to his senses, pushed the dragon away, and the speed of the sword in his hand was slashed, the dragon easily dodged the slash, and frowned, "You make me very difficult, it seems that I want you to teach you a lesson!" The dragon's right hand was clenched, Shangguan Yuanji's chest was suddenly hit by an invisible force, and after flying for more than ten meters, he hit a tree, and the chest wound that was completely healed was cracked again, and the treatment of courage could only temporarily stop the pain, but could not be completely cured, at this moment the severe pain in the depths of the bone marrow was born again, Shangguan Yuan coughed up a mouthful of blood violently, and almost fainted, but his tenacious willpower allowed him to hold on. The dragon landed lightly on the ground, "I said, you don't have to be suspicious, didn't I say it, I'm not a bad person, and ······ About the Great Sage Master that you care about······ By the way, what am I going to say······"
Long touched the back of his head as if he was thinking about something, looking at the funny expression on Long Ying's handsome face, Ziyan felt a unique affinity, and even Shangguan Yuanji eliminated the last trace of worry in his heart. The dragon patted his head and finally spoke, "Hey! I said, "Tell you!" I am the Great Sage Master. ”
"Don't be kidding, the Great Sage Master is about the same age as my father this year, it's not a year of confusion, how can you be so young." Dongfang Ziyan waved his hand. After Shangguan Yuanji leaned under the tree and listened, his face was full of doubts again, and he nodded approvingly towards Dongfang Ziyan.
The dragon jumped to the root of a huge tree that was so huge that it covered the sky, "My name is Sereant Dicch Dragon, do you have any questions?" Out of nowhere, the dragon conjured a golden mask and put it on his face, revealing his momentum without reservation.
"That's ······ The mask sacrifice of the Great Sage Master! Shangguan Yuanji's eyes widened.
"Sereant Deesch Dragon?!" Dongfang Ziyan shouted, his eyes were shining, and he had an expression of adoration.
"But why are you so young?" Yuan Jihu asked suspiciously.
The dragon took off his mask, "Isn't it good to be younger?" Your father, too······ Do you stay young? The dragon grinned. Yuan Ji had nothing to say. At this time, the dragon suddenly asked again: "What are you learning the art of self-cultivation for so young?" Or the ideals you pursue? ”
"It's about being the strongest! Inherit the title of 'Wind Demon God of War'! Shangguan Yuanji felt that the pain was lighter, and slowly sat up and said.
The dragon's face was solemn, and he nodded again, "Very good, very ambitious goal, but······ Shangguan Feihu began to practice at the age of four, at the age of ten he was familiar with the use of his own spirit, at the age of fourteen he led three thousand Baier elite soldiers to infiltrate the enemy country of Tianshui City of the Elkan Empire, and killed the county guard general Hogeling, and then connected to seven cities, broke the enemy army of 40,000, and inherited the head of the Shangguan family at the age of eighteen, and was the hereditary king of Dangyang, and at the age of twenty-six, he led the Shangguan family to raid the Western Ghost Moon Kingdom, and broke the twenty-six cities of the Ghost Moon, and the empire gave him the title of "Wind Demon God of War", and at the same time made great achievements in the "Fire Demon God of War" Dongfang Xiao "Double God of War" in the world······ On these grounds alone, you dare to say that you can take your father's name? ”
"This ······" Shangguan Yuanji's face was ugly, but he quickly changed his complexion, "If my father can do it, I will definitely be able to do it, and when the time comes, it will definitely be me Shangguan Yuanji who surpasses the 'Wind Demon God of War'!" “
Dongfang Ziyan looked at Yuan Ji silently, thinking to himself what kind of courage he had to have to say it. Suddenly, there was a chill in his heart, he thought, if he had been allowed to learn the technique since he was a child, maybe he wouldn't be so incompetent now, thinking of this, he looked at his hands a little discouraged.
"What about you? Ziyan? The dragon looked at him.
As if he had been electrocuted, Dongfang Ziyan's body suddenly trembled, and then he slowly said, "I ······" His heart suddenly sank into the abyss, and he was silent to death. [Yes, what about me?] What is my reasoning? I was called a waste since I was a child, and when I grew up, I was hated by everyone, my father hated me, my family rejected me, I had to risk my life when I had never done anything, and the Senate wanted to kill me······ What is the point of me learning the technique? What am I after? Dongfang Ziyan's face was crossed with a trace of sadness, but he didn't want to be seen, so his face became darker and darker, but Shangguan Yuanji saw that something was wrong.
"I'm a terrible person, I can't even control my own destiny, what dreams and future can I talk about, I'm a complete failure, it's just that. No one likes me anyway, a cursed person like me. Dongfang Ziyan lowered his head and sat on the ground, embarrassed like a clown.
"How can you say that?" Shangguan Yuanji said helplessly, with a scolding and a little ridicule in his tone, because he would not comfort people, and he also knew Ziyan's experience over the years in the past few days, and it was normal to be asked about this to have such a performance, after all, everyone has that kind of residual pain after experiencing pain. At this time, the dragon came over, walked over to Ziyan, stepped on the grass and rustled, and a red squirrel climbed up the dragon's head like a small ball along the dragon's shawl, squeaking.
The dragon squatted in front of Ziyan, watching Ziyan lower his head in frustration, but he slowly sat on the ground, "Sometimes, a person's growth, sadness is inevitable, you are no longer a child, you have to learn to grow, Ziyan." The dragon's eyes stared at Ziyan.
"What is growth?" Dongfang Ziyan asked.
"Growth is to know what you should do and what you can't do, which is what you must do to achieve your ideals." The dragon raised his head and pointed to the emerald green sky covered by bamboo forests and giant trees, and said slowly: "When everyone is just born, they will be shrouded in a haze in their own lives, just like this sky above our heads now, but what you have to do is not to complain about the sky in place, but to find a way to dispel this haze ······", as he spoke, the dragon suddenly stood up, pulled out the sharp iron sword, and quickly slashed towards the green cover above his head, and the invisible sword qi turned straight up, The dense bamboo forest and the branches of the ancient trees reacted quickly and dodged one after another, which made the area suddenly open up, the sun shone in, and the ground shone brightly, "Dispel the haze in life, and the light will come." ”
"I see······ But I really don't know what to do, I can't be like Yuan Ji," he coughed twice, his voice a little hoarse, "Yuan Ji has been the pride of the family since birth, and I, except for my brother, who has ever cared about my life or death!" His hands gripped the dirt, scratching deep scratches.
Shangguan Yuanji was about to say something, but he didn't say anything.
"Your Excellency the Great Sage Master," Dongfang Ziyan called dryly, without any emotion.
"Huh?" The dragon responded.
"You say, am I really born as the Senate said, it was a mistake, I shouldn't have been in this world? So you say, should I continue to live in this world? Dongfang Ziyan asked.
"Well, you'll know if you live for yourself." Long said lightly. "There are some things that your father and your family have not told you, although it is not the right time, but it is better to tell you everything." Long looked directly at Ziyan, "Yuan Ji, you can also come and listen." ”
Shangguan Yuanji approached, and Ziyan raised his head, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's about a big event that happened a lot of years ago, and I'm telling you everything." The dragon slowly closed his eyes, his mind returning to that day eleven years ago······
[Eleven Years Ago, Dongyi Domain, Infinite Mountains]
The trees on Infinity Mountain, where many beasts live, are one of the most dangerous Jedi in Dongyi, and almost every day there is a war between the jungle and the strong, a fierce battle between spirit beasts and spirit beasts, and a battle between dryads over territory. However, in recent days, there is an area of the forest that no wild beast dares to approach, and there is a wooden house in a tree where two humans live.
Dongfang Xiao and his wife Suweni escaped from home and lived here for more than a year, because the family wanted to force Dongfang Xiao to marry Princess Liwei of the royal family, and to drive out Su Weini, who was surnamed Su, who was a rebellious family, so Dongfang Xiao took Suweni to escape from home to avoid this political marriage. Because Dongfang Xiao's strength is very strong and he knows how to tame beasts, no spirit beast dares to approach his residence easily, and some of them are tamed by him and become their friends.
Dongfang Xiao is actually a very kind and upright person.
At this moment, it was morning, Dongfang Xiao was carrying a wild boar that had just been caught and cleaning it up by the river, ready to take it home to cook and eat. A young baboon hurriedly walked over at him, Dongfang Xiao glanced back and said with a smile: "It's you, little baboon, I'm busy." After speaking, he didn't look at him much, turned around and just cleaned the pork, and said without looking back, "Go back and tell your old baboon, let him stay away from my house when he bullies other spirit beasts, otherwise it will frighten my wife, the important thing is the child in my wife's womb." ”
The little baboon was still screaming, and his hands began to grab Dongfang Xiao's belt, which attracted Dongfang Xiao's attention, and he turned around and immediately understood something from the little baboon's gesture, "In the forest····· Stranger in a mask······ In ······ Chalet ······" He immediately sent down the things in his hand and asked with a serious face, "Where are those people?" He watched the little baboon's movements, patted him on the head and said, "Thank you," and with that he had rushed into the sky and towards his cabin.
"Winnie!!" On the way, Dongfang Xiao really felt a strange breath appear, he soon arrived at the wooden house, and quickly rushed in, he saw that the stove was still boiling water, and the teacup was still steaming at the head of the bed, but Suvani was gone, his heart suddenly rose to his throat, and at the same time, his "mind" had already begun to search within a radius of fifty miles, and it only took half a second for him to come to the south window, and saw a black footprint on the windowsill, black like liquid was corroding the wooden window frame. Dongfang Xiao immediately rushed out of the window, and flew to the south for a while, and he had already reached the forest ten miles away, when suddenly an ice storm swept in, Dongfang Xiao was unhindered in the impact, he knew that this was the ice formation put by Suweini, and he vaguely saw through the ice formation that Suweni was confronting others.
"Winnie!!" Dongfang Xiao yelled and rushed over, "Come to me!" ”
"Xiao!" Suweni was already injured, he was already six months pregnant, before Dongfang Xiao cared for her and didn't even let him get angry, but now she saw that Suweni was injured, and she rose up angrily, he hugged Vinnie with his left hand, looked in the direction of the enemy, and his eyes had already captured three targets.
"What's the color of three?" Dongfang Xiao looked at it coldly, let go of Suweni with his left hand, and said softly, "You go first, don't go back to Dongyi." Go to Baicao Valley to find the teacher, the teacher must still be there, I will deal with them alone! “
"But," Suvani couldn't reassure him.
"I'm not at ease fighting when you're here, do what I say! Protect yourself and our children!! After Dongfang Xiao finished speaking, Suvini nodded and left, because he believed in his Dongfang Xiao, because he was Dongfang Xiao, the god of fire and war.
"Xiao! Promise me that I will survive! Be sure to come to me! Suweni said.
Dongfang Xiao nodded, and didn't turn around until her breath disappeared, he saw that the three people were all dressed in black robes, and they didn't seem to have the intention of intercepting Suweini, the three of them floated in the air like ghosts, Dongfang Xiao smiled: "You are not a human race, do you think I can't feel it?" ”
"Are you praying for your funeral, Firefiend?" One of them said coldly, "You, including your wife and your children, don't want to live today." ”
"Huh! It's arrogant, no one has spoken to me like that in years. Dongfang Xiao stretched out his hands and placed them at his sides.
"This time we are here to replace your human race to kill the rebels." Another black-robed man said.
Dongfang Xiao suddenly laughed presumptuously and said, "The affairs of the human race, when will it be your turn to take care of the affairs of the human race!" I'd like to ask who the thief is!! “。
"If you deviate from the way of heaven, you will be a thief." The last man in black stood at the end of the three, his voice was the most steady, but his momentum was the most amazing.
Dongfang Xiao's body had already gushed out of murderous aura, and the three of them were shocked by this power, Dongfang Xiao slowly spoke: "I, Dongfang Xiao, am the way of heaven!! ”
