Chapter 680: A Thought Blossoms (2)
Sure enough, it was a temptation, and everyone thought carefully with their own hearts.
When they saw that dragon, they were indeed shocked, but the cultivators' worship of the dragon was far less profound than the worship of strength. For cultivators, the so-called dragons are no big difference from the primeval tribes, the East China Sea tribes, or even cows, sheep, pigs, and dogs.
It's nothing more than a little better-looking.
Well, it's pretty good!
After Zhong Huaran came down from the mountain, he thought like this, spit out the blood bag that was in his mouth before he went over there in the hotel, wiped off the "blood stains" from the corners of his mouth, and after changing his clothes, he thought of the appearance of the dragon, and felt that it was really beautiful.
With blue-purple scales, long beards and dragon whiskers, a sinuous body and crystal-like eyes, any woman is enough to fascinate her. But unfortunately, they didn't stay for long, and almost instantly, all the practitioners were "seriously injured".
These people glanced at each other, and secretly cursed countless words of "old fox" and "little fox" in their hearts, all of them either covered their chests or drooped their arms, and some even pretended to be lame and left the Tianchi of Toadshan.
Then you ask us what level of strength this dragon is? No kidding, didn't you see that our team of masters was all defeated with one blow? How could the strength of this dragon be something we could test out? It's not easy to come back alive!
This is how they all explained to the people of the Military Commission and the Garrison, in fact, they are also very curious, what kind of realm is this dragon?
When he was in the mountains, he pretended to flee without directly fighting the dragon, but there were still observations that should have been made. Zhong Huaran had carefully felt the strength of this dragon, but there was always an ethereal feeling. It's like...... It's as if this dragon's strength doesn't come from the body?
Thinking of this, Zhong Huaran shook his head.
Strength does not come from itself, is it really born from the fortune of the sky? Strength comes from the way of heaven? It's simply impossible, how could Heavenly Dao create such a creature? Unseen and unheard of, if there really is such a creature, why would the Heavenly Dao bother to control the alien race and the human masters?
After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a clue, Zhong Huaran decided to change his mood.
So after editing all the reports this time and reporting them to the person in charge of the Zhong family, Zhong Huaran stretched his waist, changed his appearance in the mirror, and then picked out a suit that was suitable for Tianchi Province and did not look bloated, and went out of the door, heading towards the hotel where An Xiaoan was.
Zhong Hua Ran hummed a song, got into the car, checked her makeup, and after feeling perfect, a charming smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Speaking of which, coming to Chanshan City to find Xiao An is Zhong Huaran's main purpose, what kind of water dragon or something, it's just a big deal, and if you do it casually, you will be pulled down. However, she hasn't figured out how to face Xiao An, especially how to face An Xiaoyu.
She was afraid to die.
Especially after meeting Xiao An, she began to be afraid of death, and she couldn't see her if she died! What a pity?
So she came to the door of the hotel, found a hot drink shop at the opposite door of the hotel and sat down, ordered a cup of milk tea, sat by the window, looked at the door of the hotel, and waited for Xiao An to appear. If nothing else, I just want to see each other from afar.
At that moment, a hand was pressed on her shoulder.
Zhonghua was frightened and frightened, and immediately stood up. But the power contained in this hand on her shoulder was so powerful that it couldn't help but suppress all her muscles, and also suppressed her soul in place, so that she couldn't move at all.
"Ann whispering?" Zhong Huaran instantly knew who the owner of this hand was.
"You really don't treat yourself as an outsider, and Shaozong won't be called anymore?" An Xiaoyu had just come back from the gymnasium with a stomach full of anger, and when she saw Zhong Huaran, she was naturally very unhappy, so she choked on the first sentence, which made Zhong Huaran tremble.
He let go of his hand, walked to the opposite side of Zhong Huaran and sat down, ordered a cup of hot tea and asked, "Come and see Xiao An?" ”
Zhong Huaran's first thought was to deny it, but he was already sitting at the door of someone's hotel, and he was still disfigured. What's more, she estimated that she couldn't hide her series of movements, so she nodded and said, "Come and see...... Just take a look. ”
"Just see?" After An Xiaoyu took a sip of tea, her tone softened a lot, and said, "Don't mean I met a fool just now, and I'm angry." ”
Zhong Huaran was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect An Xiaoyu to apologize to herself, and said with some surprise: "It's okay, I understand...... Xu Heru fought with me before. ”
An Xiaoyu smiled when she heard it: "Xu Heru thinks that you have changed your target and plan to chase Xu Hewei, because she doesn't know that Xiao An didn't go to Jianshan City, so she will fight with you, but I am different from Xu Heru, I am not a younger brother." ”
"You're not?" Zhong Huaran asked subconsciously, and then immediately reacted: "I didn't mean that. ”
An Xiaoyu waved her hand and said, "When Xiao An first met you, he just walked out of the Eastern Wilderness, and he didn't understand anything, so it's normal for me to help." Now ......"
Saying that, An Xiaoyu shrugged her shoulders: "If you want to meet, you can go to see you, I won't stop you, but Xiao An is not a fool, although he doesn't say it, he is very angry, I can see it." ”
"Why?" Zhong Huaran suddenly became nervous.
"I want to know what kind of skill I have to ask me?" After An Xiaoyu drank this cup of tea, the terminal rang, Zhong Hua was stunned, only heard any summonses, inquiries and the like, and didn't think carefully about An Xiaoyu's affairs, and saw An Xiaoyu leave the hot drink shop, leaving her alone in a panic.
Xiao An is angry? What is he angry about?
"You don't have to change your face." Xiao An tilted his head to look at the woman who came over to ask for directions, and after looking at it for three minutes, he suddenly said.
Zhong Huaran was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?" ”
Xiao An sighed and said, "Don't change your face!" You were the one who saved me last time, right? The two of us haven't seen each other a few times, the first time you lied to me, then you lied to me, and now you still want to lie to me, do you think I'm easy to deceive? ”
Zhong Huaran finally knew why An Xiaoyu said that Xiao An was angry, so she looked at the people around her and found that no one was paying attention to this side, so she quietly changed into her original appearance and said, "It's just a habit, it's just a habit." ”
"Humph!" Xiao An still ignored the answer, turned around and left.
Zhong Huaran hesitated, but still followed, walked beside Xiao An, and secretly looked at the boy who was still developing before he had grown taller. Although his face was still indifferent, fortunately, he didn't open his mouth to drive people away, which made Zhong Huaran really relieved.
After following Xiao An for a while, he found that Xiao An had no intention of stopping, so he asked in a low voice, "Where are you going?" ”
Xiao An didn't speak, and Zhonghua shrank.
The two of them walked through the two streets in silence, and Xiao An suddenly said: "I didn't see the mountain when I came to Toad Mountain, so I came out to relax." ”
Zhong Huaran glanced at Xiao An cautiously, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, followed by a bitter heart. Since she was in her twenties, she has been tossing and turning among men, and has seen all kinds of intrigues, and all kinds of ugly faces, and in this regard, it can be said that she is quite good at it.
But now, who would have thought that he would be so careful with a little boy's petty temperament?
Thinking like this, Zhong Huaran smiled bitterly and asked, "Then how can you forgive me?" ”
An Xiaoan turned his head to look at her and said, "I heard that the toad flowers that grow on the edge of Tianchi are very beautiful, my mother has always wanted to see it, but she has never seen it." ”
"I'll pick one for you!" Zhong Huaran agreed with a twitch of his brain.
Xiao An nodded, walked outside for a while and then entered a small restaurant, after eating, Zhong Huaran hurriedly paid, Xiao An did not refuse, and the woman left happily. But after taking two steps, Zhong Huaran suddenly had a headache.
The toad flowers don't bloom until winter, why did I say yes?
But soon, Zhonghua Ran was relieved, it's a big deal to get one down from the mountain, and then pack it in a special breeding box, it will bloom one day in the future, right? Xiao An is not an unreasonable person, so he should be able to accept this?
So Zhong Huaran came to the foot of Toad Mountain, and found that Toad Mountain was blocked.
Yes, because of the reason that "the cultivators have failed, and the water dragon is too dangerous", the court and the military commission have sealed off the entire Toad Mountain, and no one can enter or leave. Zhong Huaran suddenly felt tricky, and then found the person in charge of Toadshan, wanting to go through the back door or something.
As a result, the attitude of the people was very tough: "The above said that no one can go in, that is, no one can go in, no one is an exception, Second Lieutenant Zhong, please go back!" ”
Zhong Huaran was a little depressed, walked out of the temporary security room, rolled his eyes, dodged and hid in the corner, and after instantly becoming a child, he flexibly touched the mountain along the gap in the rocks, intending to sneak in quietly to do something.
But just as she was about to approach the cordon, she suddenly heard two whispered voices from another corner of the rock, and she couldn't hold back, so she touched it and planned to hear who else was coming here, but as soon as she heard two sentences, she was stunned in place.
"I've heard that An Xiaoyu cut off the tongue of the deputy captain of Lao Shan Ginseng today, and she has been summoned to inquire about it, Lao Shan Ginseng and those families don't plan to loosen their mouths casually, and An Xiaoyu will never leave for a while."
"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Let's go kidnap An Xiaoyu's family right away! When the time comes, you can force An Xiaoyu to compliment and help us achieve great things! Hahaha! With the help of An Xiaoyu, our future is promising! The future is promising! ”
Zhong Huaran's heart was shocked, as soon as she heard that the other party wanted to kidnap An Xiaoyu's family, she immediately thought of Xiao An, she quickly poked her head out, wanting to see who wanted to do such a thing, if these two people were killed here now......
But when Zhong Huaran rushed out, she only saw two distant figures, and she couldn't help jumping to her feet in a hurry, and she couldn't care about Toad Hua and these two distant people. She turned around and flew towards Toadhill City, thinking that she just wanted to stop the other party before they could make a move.
Increase the speed to the fastest, Zhong Huaran himself is already a master of the Void God Realm, naturally the speed is fast, and it didn't take long to arrive at the hotel where Xiao An was, but at this time, the night had already landed, and the cold night in the north came exceptionally early.
It was very early, and there was a team of people.
"Self-cultivation?" Zhong Huaran had already used another face, looked at the twelve people opposite and asked coldly.
The leading master held a strange-shaped staff in his hand and asked, "You are the bodyguard arranged here by An Xiaoyu?" ”
Zhong Huaran didn't speak, she was observing the twelve people on the other side, and secretly complained in her heart. She is not a person like An Xiaoyu, she can't detect the other party's cultivation, so naturally she can't judge the gap between the two sides, she is not sure about this battle at all, but now it seems to be too late to call for rescue.
Twelve people surrounded Zhong Huaran in this broken courtyard where there was no one, and said with a sneer: "Since each is its own master, then we can only talk about it!" ”
"Phew! Fuck you, each his own! After Zhong Hua Ran scolded, he drew his knife and went up, and the earth, wind, water and fire instantly surrounded Zhong Hua Ran, and this broken courtyard suddenly became a hellish battlefield.
At the moment of the fight, Zhong Huaran knew that he underestimated these people, in order to kidnap a few ordinary people, they actually dispatched so many masters? She didn't care if An Xiaoyu really arranged bodyguards here, and there was only one thought left in her heart - to live!
And what is the only way to survive in such a battle? Zhong Huaran's heart is very clear.
So she dodged from the deadly attacks again and again, ignoring the wounds again and again, and attacked the enemies around her as best she could, stabbing after stabbing her. So much so that later, Zhong Huaran couldn't see how many enemies there were in front of her, so she just slashed towards the one closest to her, and when the last knife fell, she finally lay on the ground.
Tilting his head sideways, Zhong Huaran looked at the corpses on the ground with difficulty, counting them one by one, twelve people, none of them could run. She finally smiled a little, closed her eyes, and could no longer withstand the exhaustion of such consumption, and fell into a deep sleep.
An Xiaoyu fell from the sky, frowned, and injected a trace of her energy into the woman's scarred body, watching her pale face begin to improve, and the blood that kept flowing out of the wound began to coagulate, and then quietly left.
The cold wind blew through the small courtyard in the early morning, and Zhong Huaran suddenly woke up.
Where am I? The first thought that flashed after waking up, Zhong Huaran felt the pain coming from all over his body, the pain of the wound, the pain of the high-load operation of the meridians, and the pain of the muscles. These pains were all familiar to Zhong Huaran, but this time it was extraordinarily severe.
Getting up from the ground, Zhong Huaran looked around, then at her own body, leaned against the wall with a wry smile, and called the people of the Zhong family to ask them to come and clean up the mess, but she endured the exhaustion and pain, as well as the weakness of excessive blood loss, and flew into the sky.
God knows how Zhong Huaran dragged such a body up to the Toad Mountain Heavenly Pond, which is more than three thousand meters high, and arrived at the beautiful fairyland-like lake. Zhong Huaran, who had no extra energy to protect himself, walked towards Tianchi step by step, enduring the invasion of the cold, and almost lost his strength.
She walked to the side of Tianchi step by step, and only in the vicinity of Tianchi did she feel a little warmth. She sat down on the ground, and saw the tiny flowers that grew in the crevices of the stone and the moss, with their buds closed.
Toad flower, a flower unique to Toad Mountain Tianchi.
Toad has a beautiful legend that people say that there was once a great cultivator of a straight man, and when he was young, he promised his beloved woman that when he was invincible in the world, he would come back to win this girl. Then he practiced day after day, year after year of conquest, and finally reached the realm of invincibility in the world, and when he returned home, he was ready to be with his beloved, and he was told that the other party had waited for too many years, and he had already become disheartened and hid in a desperate situation.
So this great cultivator came to this desperate situation, and planted the woman's favorite flowers on the top of Toad Mountain, one after another, one after another, and he used all his cultivation and life to suppress the eruption of the entire Toad Mountain volcano, and finally succeeded in extinguishing the volcano, planting the top of the mountain with flowers, and his life span was only a few minutes left.
So he walked into the pass of Toad Mountain, only to find that everything was fake. Toad Mountain didn't have his girl, in fact, he had long known that when he returned home, the girl had been waiting for him for many years, waiting for a lifetime, and finally did not wait for his return, and died alone. And what kind of extravagant hope he is still holding onto, hoping that God will forgive him for making this unforgivable mistake.
He wept bitterly in the volcano, tears flooded his body, flooded the whole volcano, and turned into a heavenly pool, and his soul, reduced to pieces, scattered in the flowers of the toad, bloomed only in winter, because that was the time when they had met for the first time.
Zhong Huaran thought of the first time she met Xiao An, and suddenly a smile appeared on her face, and she stretched out her hand to pick up the flowers in the crack in the stone. But her hands had lost sensation, her body had lost strength, and her vision had gradually begun to blur.
In such a trance, Zhong Huaran seemed to suddenly see a light. Blinking with difficulty, the toad flower suddenly bloomed like the moment of snow falling in winter, and a small bud slowly unfolded, revealing petals as golden as the sun.
Is it a dream? Zhong Huaran had lost the ability to think, and she used the last of her strength to raise her head and look around, and saw a sea of gold blooming around the Toad Mountain Heavenly Pond.
Toad flower, it's blooming!
The corners of Zhong Huaran's mouth twitched, and then the sky spun around, and the whole person fell to the ground, and the small golden flower in front of her trembled slightly in the wind, nodding at her.
At the last moment before closing his eyes, Zhong Huaran seemed to see a shadow looming towards him, and an unfamiliar voice came to mind in his ears:
"Who are you? How can it be in the mountains? ”
