Chapter 66: Where the White Scales Come From
The moment I heard Liu Ruoxue's voice, the stone hanging in my heart finally fell, and I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
I couldn't hide the joy in my heart, and shouted at the back of Long Wen's corpse: "Xiaoxue......"
Immediately, I didn't care about saying anything else, and hurriedly followed the direction from Liu Ruoxue's voice, bypassing the dragon head to find her.
Soon, I found Liu Ruoxue next to Long Wen's corpse.
I saw her hugging her knees, burying her head between her knees, and sitting with her back to Long Wen's corpse, like a very weak child.
Liu Ruoxue was wet all over, but her clothes were intact, as if the thunderstorm just now had no effect on her.
Around where she was sitting, there were large piles of tattered scales, most of which had been shed from Long Wen's body and wrapped around her.
But what makes me feel strange is that in addition to the scales that Long Wen took off from his body and the new scales that grew on his body after turning into a dragon, there were many scales as white as goose feathers around Liu Ruoxue.
I quickly shone a flashlight on the dragon corpse, and after a closer look, I couldn't help but mutter.
Because I found that this kind of white scales were not only next to Liu Ruoxue, but also beside Long Wen's corpse as far as my eyes could see.
These white scales range in size, from fist-sized to egg-sized, and it is unknown where they come from.
I looked at Liu Ruoxue suspiciously, and a bold idea popped up in my heart for some reason:
These scales must have fallen from her!
The Ninth Master said before that for Liu Ruoxue, this thunder tribulation is both a disaster and an opportunity.
It is precisely because of the words of the Ninth Master that I have this strange idea in my heart. However, I didn't see her lose her white scales with my own eyes, and I can't just jump to conclusions.
As soon as the thought crossed my mind, I quickly crouched down and held her hands tightly, feeling her hands unusually cold.
Seeing her at this time, I was happy, but I was a little worried.
I'm happy because I'm able to see her safe and sound so soon, but I'm worried about such a terrifying thunderstorm, I don't know if Liu Ruoxue has suffered any invisible damage.
"Xiaoxue, do you feel anything uncomfortable? The body is not cold......"
Before my words fell, the next second my whole body was suddenly stunned, and a chill suddenly appeared in my heart.
I saw Liu Ruoxue raise her head suddenly, her pale face was very cold, and she looked at me with a little viciousness in her eyes.
She glared at me for three or four seconds before she suddenly smiled unnaturally and said, "Thirteen...... I'm fine. ”
I was frightened by what she looked like just now, and stammered a little: "Xiao, Xiaoxue, I'm relieved that you're okay." ”
Liu Ruoxue smiled slightly and slowly leaned her head towards my shoulder.
"Thirteen, I'm sorry! I've been worrying you for the past few days! ”
I hesitated, but I couldn't help but reach out to Liu Ruoxue's back and hug her into my arms.
"Xiaoxue, it's good to see that you are safe and sound. Long Wen, this dog thing, has been killed by thunder, and he can't come to harm you again......"
Before I finished my words, the voice of the Ninth Master came from behind me.
"Liu Ruoxue, his Longwen has caused a thunderstorm, which is a blessing and misfortune for you. Now that you have survived the calamity, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and I hope you will also take this as a warning. ”
Hugging Liu Ruoxue in front of the ninth master, I secretly felt that this atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so I quickly let her go.
Liu Ruoxue looked at the Ninth Master, and said with a strange look in her eyes:
"I have to thank you this time for indirectly helping me turn the robbery into safety."
The Ninth Master glanced at the white scales around her, frowned, and said:
"The point is that you have a good foundation, otherwise I won't be able to help you."
Liu Ruoxue was silent for a while, and after thinking for a while, she said meaningfully:
"Old Wen Jiu, when you let Long Wen go in Baofeng Temple Village before, did you already expect him to suffer such a catastrophe!"
Hearing Liu Ruoxue's words, the Ninth Master's expression changed suddenly, and he did not directly respond to Liu Ruoxue's words.
He changed his words, and then asked, "Liu Ruoxue, do you know who took Long Yuan away?" ”
When I said this, I found that the ninth master had a suspicious look on his face.
At this time, Liu Ruoxue's complexion was already much better, she nodded, and said, "The person who took Long Yuan is Wang Fugui, after the thunder tribulation just now, my body was a little weak, and I couldn't come out to stop him." ”
Her words made me stunned, isn't our village chief Wang Fugui dead, could it be his yin soul who came to take Long Yuan?
After hearing this, Jiu Ye's expression changed suddenly, and he said softly: "I don't think it's easy for Long Wen to cross the river and turn into a dragon, but I didn't expect that it would be him behind this......"
Speaking of this, the Ninth Master suddenly stopped and did not continue.
The god of Wujiang River appeared at this time, only to see that his clothes were a little tattered and there were several scars on his body.
When Liu Ruoxue saw the river god, she said slowly: "Thank you for taking the risk just now and sending me that talisman paper to help me survive this catastrophe." ”
Wujiang River God looked stunned, looked a little nervous, and hurriedly waved his hand at her.
"You're gracious, it's my honor to be able to do things for you. That rune paper was given by the Ninth Master, if you really want to thank him, you should thank him! ”
This river god is quite good at talking, and while being polite to Liu Ruoxue, he also clearly said the credit of the ninth master.
Liu Ruoxue smiled and said, "Thank him and thank you, these are two different things." I, Liu Ruoxue, have always had clear grievances, and you are also kind to me tonight, and I will remember it. ”
For some reason, the Wujiang River God looked a little afraid of her since he saw Liu Ruoxue, which surprised me.
The river god said to the Ninth Master: "Ninth Master, those ghost soldiers and ghosts who entered the River God Temple really didn't mean to chase you, they just left the river after breaking your formation, and they don't know where they went." ”
After hearing this, the ninth master thought for a while and said, "Well, I've worked hard for you tonight." You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, the floods on both sides of the Wujiang River are critical at the moment, and this is what you have to care about. ”
Wujiang River God said: "Okay, Ninth Master, then I'll go first!" ”
After he left, the Ninth Master took out the old turtle in the bag.
The old turtle crawled up to Long Wen's corpse and made a mournful sound.
After a few moments, it spoke to Long Wen's corpse and said:
"The old slave is also to blame for your death! Not only did they not stop you, but they also helped you kidnap people to do such deceitful things to the heavens. Ay...... Now rest here in peace! ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his neck and nodded a few times towards Long Wen's corpse, as if kneeling.
Then, he climbed to Liu Ruoxue's feet again, and said to Liu Ruoxue with a remorseful tone: "Old man, I am confused, I have offended you, and I ask you to punish me." ”
Liu Ruoxue's face was like frost, and she snorted and said, "Forget it, in fact, I still have to thank you, if I hadn't been tied up by you, how could I have survived a thunderstorm so easily!" ”
The old turtle seemed to be choked by her words, and did not speak for a long time.
The Ninth Master stepped on the old turtle and said, "Now that Long Wen is dead, from now on, if you dare to come to the rivers of northern Qianbei to make trouble, we will never spare you easily." Get out of here!
When the old turtle saw that the ninth master said this, he naturally didn't dare to stay for a long time, and quickly climbed into the Wujiang River tremblingly.
I couldn't help but wonder: "Ninth Master, the spell seal on Gui Xiangcheng's body hasn't been lifted yet, can he only be an old turtle in the future." ”
The Ninth Master said indifferently: "When he swims back into the sea, the seal will be lifted at that time." ”
That night, Jiu Ye didn't care about Long Wen's body, but asked me to drive directly from the county seat back to the town.
I asked the Ninth Master, Long Wen's body is more than 100 meters long, and it will be wrong to let it cross the Wujiang River like that.
Jiu Ye thought about it and said, we don't have to worry about this, since God killed him there with a thunderstorm, he didn't care about it so much, let it be.
That's the same, God doesn't care, what do I care.
However, I was still confused in my heart, so I casually asked the ninth master.
Wang Fugui is already dead, is it his yin soul who came to take away Long Yuan, and what is the use of this Long Yuan.
The Ninth Master said to me with a serious expression at the time, this time we fought against Long Wen only to save Liu Ruoxue.
Now that Liu Ruoxue has been rescued, I don't need to ask more about other things encountered during this period.
And because of Liu Ruoxue's tie-up, I have delayed four days of learning the Tao, so I have to quickly make up for the things that I left behind.
The Ninth Master said that he couldn't help me at any time, and if it wasn't for the Mountain King Gray Spirit who gave me the rune paper this time, he wouldn't have been able to come back so quickly.
I understood what he meant, and it was nothing more than asking me to learn the secret art from him seriously, not to slack off in the slightest, and to strive to be able to take charge of myself as soon as possible.
As the saying goes, if you don't see each other for a day, it took four days for Liu Ruoxue to go from being kidnapped by Gui Xiangcheng to Jiu Ye helping me rescue her.
Four days is not a long time, but it really feels like a long time has passed.
After returning home, I casually asked Liu Ruoxue if she knew where Long Wen had been hiding in the past few days.
Liu Ruoxue shook her head and said that she had been in a coma since she was taken away, and she didn't wake up until after the thunderstorm.
I know there's no point in asking her that kind of question now, but I want to know what she's been through these days.
The next morning, when I was watching the news, I saw a special report on the sudden flooding of the Wujiang River.
According to reports, the sudden flooding of the Wujiang River caused several relatively low-lying streets in the county to be flooded.
Fortunately, although the flood flooded many businesses and households on the first floor, there were no casualties.
The first thing I saw on the TV screen was the disaster situation in the county.
After the flood waters receded, many streets were in shambles, with mud and garbage everywhere.
The screen switched, and the section of the river near the river temple scenic spot appeared on TV, and most of the river ridges had been washed away by the water.
But after the news was broadcast, there was one thing that puzzled me:
The dragon culture dragon was struck by lightning, and the section of the river where its body was located was obviously the most severely affected area, why didn't a little footage be released in the news?
