Volume 2 The Yellow Turban Falls Chapter 41 Cracking the Dragon and Snake
Stepping on the rustling forest, Xu Yang can feel the softness under his feet with every step. After the old man of the dragon snake lifted the restrictions on him here, Xu Yang was already able to move forward in this forest. Unlike every scene before, which was so the same, Xu Yang now stepped into this forest that looked very lush.
"He didn't give any hints, he just told me how good his own history is, this old man won't cheat me, right?" Xu Yang, who had been walking for nearly two hours, seriously searched every inch of land he had walked through, and did not find anything suspicious, felt that he had been tricked by this old man, and couldn't help but complain.
Such an inconspicuous sentence, Xu Yang said it completely unconsciously, but he heard an old voice in the sky suddenly respond: "Why don't you young man know that you respect the old and love the young, and you actually say bad things about the old man and me behind your back, this is not a good habit!" ”
Helplessly, Xu Yang apologized to the sky, and at this time, he had already greeted the women of the Dream Snake Phantom Wei family in his mind. Even if you kill me directly, you can be regarded as having the ability, and now you are locked up here to find some kind of ethereal inheritance, and there is an unknown punishment waiting for you, which is even more uncomfortable than waiting for death.
Xu Yang, who was bored, suddenly found that there was an ancient paper under a hugging tree not far away, and he knew that it was not ordinary at a glance. This is a harvest, Xu Yang has never seen a little difference in such a large forest before, almost all of them are dense trees, green patches. Now suddenly there is a yellowed piece of paper, and you can't pay attention to it.
"Hey, there's a word on this paper?" Picking up the piece of paper, Xu Yang noticed that something was written on the piece of paper that revealed an ancient atmosphere in a font that he couldn't read. After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yang made a decisive decision, "The snake inheritance has been taken away, so this piece of paper is likely to be related to the dragon inheritance." Look at the damaged appearance below, there should be similar paper in this forest, find out first! ”
After having a goal, Xu Yang has improved his speed a lot, although it is difficult to find some paper in the vast forest, but with a piece of paper in his hand, Xu Yang can clearly perceive the breath on the paper, and the speed of finding this kind of paper in the forest is naturally much faster.
Running through the dense jungle, Xu Yang spent a day finding a total of eight pieces of paper that resembled an ancient atmosphere. But when Xu Yang thought about using various different methods to put these eight pieces of paper together, he found that these eight pieces of paper were not next to each other.
"This dense jungle has been searched, although I haven't found the boundary here, but there is a feeling in the dark that seems to guide me, and the rest of the paper is afraid to go to the dead wood forest to find it!" After putting together a few times, he found that there was no way to put these papers together, and Xu Yang immediately made a decision.
Running in the direction of the dead wood forest in his memory, Xu Yang found the dead wood forest that was lifeless and gave people a deep gloomy dry wood forest. Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Yang went directly into the dead wood forest at full speed and began to look for this kind of paper.
With the eight pieces of paper he already had, Xu Yang found that when he approached the places where there might be paper, the paper on his body would have a special sensation. Such a discovery convinced Xu Yang's thoughts even more, and in the dead wood forest later, Xu Yang quickly turned to eight ancient pieces of paper under the guidance of the existing paper.
To be on the safe side, Xu Yang did not directly piece together these papers in the dead wood forest, but came to the intersection of the two forests, and he stepped on one side of the forest as if he had just arrived here. Adjust your body position, sit directly on the ground and start piecing together the papers.
In the process of piecing together, Xu Yang found an interesting thing, that is, Xu Yang alternately put together the papers found in the two forests, neatly putting them together in a four-by-four square.
And after the paper was put together, the sixteen fragments directly turned into a heavy and yellowed scroll, somewhat similar to the ancient holy decree, but without that divine aura. There is an ancient atmosphere looming above, giving people a sense of primitive desolation that is almost at the beginning of heaven and earth.
Swish!
He opened the scroll with both hands, and the words inside were still as incomprehensible to Xu Yang as they had just been. However, the words begin to change the moment they come into contact with the air, as if they are communicating with the world. Obscure words become like active tadpoles, wriggling on the scrolls little by little, and the original content is no longer distinguishable, and the basic strokes of these words have become more modern characters.
"What is this?"
Looking at the constantly changing words in the scroll, Xu Yang clearly felt that these ancient and obscure words were gradually transforming into modern words. Because Xu Yang had seen that a symbol that he didn't understand at all had gradually turned into a traditional dragon character, and the words on the scroll were constantly changing, Xu Yang was staring intently at the changes in the words on it. Compared to the ease on his face, Xu Yang's heart was quite uneasy, if this clue was not right, then he would only have a day and a half left to find the inheritance, and the ghost knew what the punishment that the old man did not say......
Eventually, the words on the scroll were finally finalized after a quarter of an hour of changes, and all of them were modern characters that Xu Yang could understand. This is a record in which some of the deeds of the old man of the dragon snake are recorded as follows:
The Legend of the Dragon and Snake Old Man: Since Pangu opened the world, his eyes have turned into the sun and the moon, his limbs have become the east, west, south and north poles of the earth, his skin has become a vast earth, and his blood has become a rushing river...... The rivers have the vitality of the beginning of chaos, and they feel the spirit of heaven and earth, and when all things are ignorant, they have already taken shape; When human beings appeared, he had already detached himself from the worldly and did not fight with others; The gods of the world after the world, because of their generational connection with the ancestors of heaven and earth, Gu is not included in the five immortals of heaven and earth.
Born in the blood of the great god of Pangu, awakened in the beginning of chaos. Its type and water or dragon snake, like to swim between heaven and earth, and then control the method of forging heaven and earth, and take over the position of the Three Realms Divine Soldier to build the superintendent. He has a lot of free and easy nature, and he returns the management of the four seas to the Emperor of Heaven, and is not bound by the Three Realms and Five Elements in the water......
There is not much text in the entire book, and because it is illustrated with a lot, the whole scroll is about a zhang long. And about this dragon and snake old man was born from the river, later became an immortal, silently swam in the world, and finally took charge of the world's divine weapon forging, etc., all with different illustrations, Xu Yang couldn't help but feel that he really looked down on this dragon and snake old man before, if this guy is really transformed by Pangu's blood combined with chaotic vitality, then isn't this generation the same as Nuwa?
"If this old man is really so powerful, how can he be unknown? Do you really say to him the way you look, and don't like to be distinguished in front of people? Xu Yang thought for a long time and could only come up with such a reason.
Combined with the myths and stories such as the god list that I know, generally speaking, those real powers don't like to show their heads very much. Only immortals who want to earn fame, or who want to expand their territory, will constantly come out to do things and brush up on existence. This truth is the same whether it is in the gods or in mortals, if it is really as the old man of the dragon and snake himself said, then he should be the kind of hidden power.
flipped the whole picture scroll to the end, and when the deeds of the old man of the dragon and snake were finished, there was actually a picture. Looking at this picture, Xu Yang immediately recognized that the picture was the forest under his feet, and there was a point of light in the picture that was constantly flickering, and there was a location marked with treasures.
Trying to run fast for a distance, Xu Yang found that the point of light really moved a little, and Xu Yang immediately understood that the inheritance should be in the location marked on the map! Without hesitation, without waiting, his legs directly exerted his strength Xu Yang and ran straight to the location of the treasure on the last map......
Therefore, it is often said that Wangshan runs a dead horse, and Xu Yang's current feeling is that Wangtu runs to a dead sun! The flickering dots on the map were indeed moving, but the location of the treasure marker was not pulled in with him at all. He has been running for four hours, and Xu Yang is really out of breath at this moment.
"Whew...... This forest is really weird, with the strength of my emperor-level general, running for five hours in a place should not be like this! Panting, Xu Yang sat directly on the ground, and simply continued to look at the last treasure map in the scroll.
After calming down, Xu Yang suddenly thought, isn't his current situation the same as when he first came here? At that time, he was like this because the old man of the dragon snake did not unlock the ban on him, but now? This map marks its location and the location of the treasure, does it mean that the treasure will move? Or is there some other reason......
Anyway, he was too tired to run, so Xu Yang simply used his brain and began to think. If you can't catch up with the location of this treasure by running, then you should approach it in a different way, or maybe just change directions. After all, fairy things often have another kind of mystery, the closer you feel, the more distant it is, but once you run in the opposite direction, then it is very likely to arrive directly!
Swish!
Disappearing directly in place, Xu Yang crossed through a dimension, and pointed to the dim sum of the treasure on this scroll with one hand, thinking that it might be in the forest, and directly teleported over!
The air was filled with a fragrance, and the charming aroma made Xu Yang unconsciously open his eyes. In front of me is a well-bred nursery, covering an area of less than 20 square meters, but it gives people a feeling of relaxation and joy. There are all kinds of flowers planted in the nursery, and none of them can be named by Xu Yang - because Xu Yang doesn't know any flowers at all.
Looking horizontally, there is a stone table and stone bench next to the nursery. Xu Yang's eyes fell directly on the stone table, because there was a small board on it, a bit similar to a small toy like Huarong Dao that he played with when he was a child.
When I walked over, I realized that it was a wooden frame, and sixteen pieces of the puzzle were neatly placed inside. The order of the puzzle seems to be disrupted, some of them have snake bodies, some have dragon scales on them, and the most conspicuous one is the central piece, revealing obvious dragon horns, but the puzzle piece next to him shows a snake's eyes. There are four big characters written in the extra space under the wooden frame: dragon and snake are changeable!
Xu Yang tried to click on one of the small squares with his hand, and found that the pattern on the small square had not changed, but the squares on its top, bottom, left and right had changed. The block with snake skin has become dragon scales, and the block with dragon scales has become snake skin, but the middle block has not changed at all.
"Looks like we have to make a bell pattern!" Seeing the changes in this puzzle, Xu Yang immediately understood the ever-changing gameplay of this dragon and snake.
An hour later!
"I'm rubbing! This thing TM is really not for human play, why are there always two places that can't be exchanged? The furious Xu Yang had an impulse to turn this piece of dragon and snake into waste directly.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Xu Yang placed the dragon and snake on the stone table, and slowly operated the Infernal Dafa to regulate his mood. After all, his state of mind will be stable in this state of luck, and Xu Yang doesn't want to really smash this thing in anger. There is an unknown punishment for failing to complete the task, and the devil knows what the old man will come up with to fix himself if he destroys the things in it.
Between the internal strengths, Xu Yang felt that his anger had nowhere to vent, so he could only stand up and take out the Beginningless Lance and prepare to wave it twice! However, the beginningless lance that had just appeared in his hand actually did not listen to the call directly, and suddenly broke away from Xu Yang's hand.
Click!
The next scene made Xu Yang a little unbearable to look at directly, one was what he had always relied on - the extremely sharp beginningless lance, and the other was the dragon and snake puzzle that had plagued him for a long time. These two things came together in this way, or the Beginningless Lance directly slashed the dragon and snake with its sharp lance at once.
Crash......
The sixteen pieces of the dragon and snake puzzle were all scattered on the ground, and the beginningless lance was directly returned to Xu Yang's hands, without any movement! Ignoring the dragon and snake puzzles on the ground, Xu Yang first tried to communicate with the Beginningless Lance, but found that the humanized Beginningless Lance had no reaction at all, and the depressed Xu Yang could only pick up the dragon and snake puzzles scattered on the ground first, and put together a dragon-shaped pattern on the table.
At this time, the dragon and snake puzzle can be said to be not difficult, as long as you find the side of the dragon first, and then piece this picture together little by little! But after Xu Yang finished fighting, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, he had broken the old man's things.
"But that's not bad! Although the frame is broken, at least this puzzle can be regarded as a dragon with a dragon, a snake with a snake......" Looking at the vivid dragon diagram he spelled out, Xu Yang suddenly had a sense of pride.
Seeing the complete dragon picture, Xu Yang was driven by curiosity to circle all the group, and a vivid snake picture appeared in front of Xu Yang. The charm and style are no worse than the previous dragon picture, as if alive.
"Hey, old man dragon snake, am I now considered to have completed your trial?" Knowing that the old man of the dragon snake must be observing himself somewhere, Xu Yang roared loudly into the sky.
Airplanes!
The space in front of him blurred for a while, and the old man in the blue robe appeared in front of Xu Yang again. Looking at the broken dragon and snake on the table, he switched the two pictures of the dragon and snake at will between his hands, looked at Xu Yang and said with a touch of relief in his eyes: "Hahaha, interesting little guy!" I've stumped countless trialists, but I didn't expect you, this little guy, to not only crack it, but also show its true meaning! ”
"What does it really mean?" Xu Yang asked in disbelief.
At this time, Xu Yang was still a little embarrassed to break the old man of the dragon snake, but listening to the old man's meaning, not only did he want to punish himself, but he was still boasting about himself, this matter was interesting.
The dragon and snake puzzle pieces were shot in the air, and the dragon and snake figures were constantly rotating and switching in the air, and the old man of the dragon and snake said: "There are not many people in the world who know that I am the old man of the dragon and snake, and there are even fewer people who can truly understand the true meaning of the dragon and snake!" Everyone in the world thinks that the dragon soars in the nine heavens, and the vastness of heaven and earth is indispensable, so they respect the dragon to the extreme. But the world doesn't know that the snake can be a dragon for 500 years, and it can be a dragon for a thousand years. If the people of the world only know the Nine Heavens Flying Dragon, but they don't know the reckless snake, and they don't forget their roots? ”
Listening to the words of the old man of the dragon snake, Xu Yang nodded silently. He also knows the story of the snake cultivating Jackie Chan, or there will be corresponding statements in many modern novels. But people in the world often pay attention to dragons that soar into the sky, and how many people have paid attention to the snakes that have worked hard to become dragons? If there is no snake, then where is the dragon? The relationship between the two can be said to be a growth relationship, or a causal relationship.
"But what does all this have to do with this puzzle?" Xu Yang still asked puzzled. Anyway, at this time, the old man of the dragon snake no longer looks like he wants to punish himself, and it is better to ask more questions than to pretend to understand.
"Hehe, this dragon and snake variety is actually a puzzle piece that tests human nature." The blue-robed dragon snake old man said, "If the practitioner only spells out the dragon diagram, then the old man will give him the inheritance of the snake and let him understand the pain of turning into a dragon." If the trialist spells out the snake diagram, the old man will give him the inheritance of the dragon and let him experience the joy of soaring into the sky. However, you kid is a bit interesting, and you directly broke the ever-changing frame of my dragon and snake, and now the dragon and snake are both pictures, so you are qualified to accept my inheritance! ”
Accept the legacy! Xu Yang, who was like hearing the sounds of heaven, almost couldn't control himself and shouted directly, but Xu Yang, who had seen the world, suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried to be calmer.
With a wave of his hand, a crystal clear bead, an ancient scroll and a small token fell into Xu Yang's hands, which was the inheritance of the old man of the dragon snake.
However, at this time, Xu Yang didn't notice that he didn't receive any system prompts when the old man of the dragon snake gave him the inheritance......
