1. Rebirth
Ximen Longjin thinks that this time she should die completely, because according to common sense, with the domineering of the Dragon Slaying Array, her Yuan Shen has no possibility of escaping, and she should have been annihilated with her body, but what is strange is that she found that she still has consciousness.
She felt like she was stuck in a damp warmth and couldn't move, surrounded by endless darkness, and she tried to struggle, but she couldn't muster any strength.
No matter how hard you try, how unwilling you are, but there is no way to do it after all...... I don't know how much time passed, but she finally gave up on struggling and let her consciousness sleep in this damp and warm place.
She has always loved to travel, explore secret places, love adventure, and has been trapped in desperate situations countless times, but she can always find an opportunity to get out. But this time it was different, she didn't know where she was trapped, she didn't know what happened after her physical body died, and she had nothing, even the original spirit was hit hard, and only consciousness remained.
She couldn't do anything but wait.
The only thing that could comfort her was that this darkness did not give her a sense of danger, and it was still slowly nourishing her Yuan Shen.
Sleep and wake up, wake up and sleep, I don't know how long it has been, her primordial spirit is plumping up little by little, and her divine consciousness is slowly recovering, but the container that trapped her is too strong, her divine sense can't penetrate at all, and she only vaguely feels that the container trapped her is placed in a delicate jade box, and the jade box is full of runes that she doesn't recognize.
At first, she could feel that people often came to this room with jade boxes, and their attitude was very respectful, but gradually, fewer and fewer people came, and later, few people came.
And she, in this darkness, the only thing she can do is sleep.
She often thought that if she could escape from here one day, she would never have to sleep for the rest of her life.
"Long Ling, do you really want to give it to that person......
"Hmm. ”
"If the patriarch knew about it, he would definitely punish us, after all, it is ......"
"It's just a legend, is it worth enshrined here for generations? If it can really revitalize the dragon clan, it should have broken out of its shell a long time ago, it has been thousands of years, and there is no movement at all, I think it is a dead egg at all, what's the use of keeping it, it is better to give it to that person, and it can also bring some benefits to the clan." ”
"But...... But if it really didn't work, why did that person want this dragon egg......"
"Alright, don't bother, let's go. The voice suddenly became stern.
Hearing a clear conversation outside, Ximen Longjin was in high spirits, this was the first time she could hear the voice outside so clearly, it seemed that her divine sense had grown greatly, did this mean that the day when she could go out was not far away?
It's just that...... What are they talking about?
Dragons?
As she pondered the meaning of those words, she felt the jade box be opened.
"Longling...... Don't you......" The hesitant voice sounded again.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, what, I'm holding the ban, you hurry up and get the eggs. The other said impatiently.
Egg?
Ximen Longjin suddenly realized, could this egg refer to her, right?
The "container" that trapped her was actually an egg? she was in the egg?...... Or is she an egg in her own right?
I have to say, Ximen Longjin is the truth.
Just when Ximen Longjin was a little entangled, she felt a vibration. The egg was taken out of the jade box, and she felt a little uncomfortable when she left the jade box.
"Longling, this spirit gathering box ......"
"The spirit box has been used for thousands of years for this waste, it is simply a tyrannical thing, it should be given to Long Qi, the dragon Qitian is longitudinal, she has only obtained the inheritance of the dragon at the age of more than six hundred years, and she is the hope of revitalizing the dragon clan. The previous voice snorted softly, put away the jade box, and when the name Long Qi was mentioned, his voice was much softer.
At this moment, there was a sudden coercion in the room.
"Who trespassed into the forbidden room?!" an old and majestic voice sounded, a little far away, as if it had been transmitted.
"Dragon...... Longling ...... It's the Great Elder! The Great Elder is here......" The voice that had hesitated earlier suddenly panicked.
The other person snorted lightly, and Ximen Longjin felt a violent vibration again, as if the person wanted to escape.
"It's you, Longling, Longtai!" In an instant, the old voice was close to his ears.
"Big ...... The Great Elder ...... "The hesitant voice was already a little crying.
"Put the eggs and the spirit box back in their place, and go to the law enforcement hall to get a hundred sticks for yourself. The old voice sounded faintly.
"Why?!" the man called the Dragon Tomb raised his voice, "Is it just because it's the legendary egg that can revitalize the Dragon Clan?!"
"Yes. The old man's voice was still faint.
"Hah, for the sake of a legend, I gave it the most valuable spirit gathering box in the entire dragon clan, and it was used for thousands of years! For thousands of years, it didn't even break its shell, maybe it was a dead egg that couldn't hatch at all?"
"You're overstepping, Longling. ”
"I'm not convinced! Now that the clan is worried about internal and external troubles, why don't you exchange it for something more valuable! Why don't you give the Spirit Gathering Box to the clansmen who need it more!" Long Ling's voice paused slightly, and when he spoke again, he had already added a bit of ridicule, "Or is the Great Elder selfish?"
"Longling!" the old man's voice was angry.
The coercion in the room suddenly became stronger.
"Put the eggs and the spirit box back in their place, and go to the law enforcement hall to get two hundred sticks for yourself. ”
After a long time, the voice sounded again.
Ximen Longjin felt a vibration again, and then there was a "snap", the sound of something being broken.
Ximen Longjin didn't have time to think, only felt a sharp pain spread throughout his body.
"Long Tai!!" the Great Elder said in a furious voice.
"I ...... I'm ...... I just had my hands shaking, and I ...... It wasn't meant to be broken......" Ryutai trembled in a voice that was not like words.
After the sharp pain at the beginning passed, Ximen Longjin found that her eyes suddenly brightened, and she raised her hand to push away the broken shell on top of her head, and her vision widened.
The Great Elder couldn't help but look shocked as he watched a little girl slowly crawl out of the smashed dragon egg, and that consternation quickly turned into ecstasy.
"Dragon Lady ......" He stepped forward with some excitement, and even his voice trembled slightly.
Ximen Longjin was looking at the room he was in, the room was not big, but it had some kind of special spiritual power flow, which seemed to be quite extraordinary.
As she looked at it, she heard the voice that was trying to suppress her excitement, and when she looked up, she saw a somewhat old face, which was full of furrows, but the eyes were very bright.
Dragon Lady?
She curled her lips, she wasn't dead yet......
"Congratulations on the birth of the Dragon Maiden. At her smiling face, the Great Elder was slightly stunned, and then bent down and made a big salute.
Oh, birth.
Ximen Longjin opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't make a sound, she wanted to try to stand up, but her legs were weak and she couldn't use any strength.
Long Ling, who was standing on the side, immediately noticed her situation, and sneered, it was a joke that the dragon clan cherished it in the dragon egg that had been enshrined in the forbidden room for thousands of years gave birth to a waste that could not speak or leg.
When the Great Elder heard Long Ling's sneer, he turned his head and looked at him coldly, and when he restrained the sneer on his face, he turned his head to look at the Dragon Girl who was still sitting on the ground, and then his face condensed a little.
"Dragon Maiden, offended. As he spoke, he bent down and picked her up.
Ximen Longjin has never enjoyed the treatment of being held, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The Great Elder walked out of the forbidden room with her in his arms, and Ximen Longjin felt the cold gaze behind him, and when he looked back, he was facing the eyes of Shanglongling.
He looked at her coldly and moved his lips.
Although he didn't make a sound, Ximen Longjin understood, what he said was, "waste".
Ximen Longjin was held by the Great Elder, looking at the surrounding environment with great interest all the way, at this time she didn't know that hundreds of years after her physical death, a major event happened on the Sifang Continent adjacent to the Nine Shadows Continent, a man who crawled out of the Nine Shadows Hell fought for his life to seal the Heavenly Realm with the God Killing Array for the sake of his beloved woman, and the entire continent has since entered the Divine Hidden Era.
Thousands of years have passed, the entire continent has undergone tremendous changes, because of the existence of the god-killing array, the aura on the continent is getting thinner and thinner, and the various demon beasts and spirit beasts and the Xiuzhen family living on the continent have faced severe tests, and the dragon clan is one of them.
In such a situation, the former patriarch of the dragon clan used secret magic to peep into the heavens, and then he selected a dragon egg in the clan and put it in the forbidden room, and predicted that a dragon girl would be born in the dragon egg. And the dragon clan will be led by that dragon girl to unprecedented strength and glory.
After the prophecy, the patriarch was attacked for peeking into the heavens, and he passed on the position of patriarch to the current patriarch and went into retreat.
After that, the former patriarch never appeared again.
And the dragon egg full of hope of the dragon clan has not moved at all for thousands of years, and the dragon people have been full of hope at the beginning, to slowly disappointed, and finally almost gradually forgot the existence of the dragon egg.
But now, the dragon girl was born.
The news of the birth of the dragon girl immediately shocked the entire dragon clan.
When the entire dragon clan was boiling over the news of the birth of the dragon girl, the legendary dragon girl was lying on the bed weakly, and there were several people around the bed.
The stern-faced old man at the head was the patriarch of the dragon clan, and next to the old man stood the great elder who had just carried her in, and in addition to that, there was a beautiful woman and a young man in a black narrow-sleeved woven robe.
The striking thing is that the man is also wearing a pair of silver-white gloves on his hands.
At this moment, the young man's silver-white gloved hand rested lightly on her delicate wrist and was checking her pulse.
"Ning Qiu, how is the dragon girl?" asked the patriarch on the side.
"The situation is not optimistic, because it is not a normal shell breaking, resulting in incomplete hatching, she is in poor condition, the bones in her legs are too soft to walk, and there are some problems with her vocal cords. The young man stood up and said lightly while taking off his gloves, "The most important thing is that the heart pulse is too weak, and there is a possibility of dying at any time." ”
The faces of the patriarch and the great elder were a little difficult to look at.
"Ning Qiu!" The beautiful woman glared at him slightly, and then looked at Ximen Longjin lying on the bed with apologies, "Forgive me, my son has no malice. ”
Ximen Longjin waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.
Ximen Longjin's attitude made a few people present a little surprised, it stands to reason that this dragon girl has just been born, and it seems that she has not received the inheritance of the dragon, but why is she acting so peculiarly, it seems that her demeanor is not a childish child who has just broken out of her shell, but like a capable person who has been in the top position for a long time.
And she has just broken the shell and has the ability to shape......
In this way, the prophecy of the former patriarch is not unreasonable.
It's a pity......
The patriarch glanced at the little girl who was lying on the bed and couldn't even stand up, sighed, shook his head, turned around and walked out.
The beautiful woman whispered some precautions to her, left a prescription, and then left with the man in black.
The room fell silent all of a sudden, and only the Great Elder and her were left.
"Don't worry, grandpa is here. The Grand Elder sat down on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand and stroked her forehead gently, with unmistakable love and regret in his eyes.
Ximen Longjin was stunned. Grandfather?
"Great Elder, the patriarch has something to discuss. "Outside the door, someone reported.
The Great Elder gently touched her head, turned and walked out.
The room was quiet all of a sudden, Ximen Longjin's divine consciousness left his body, tentatively and slowly expanded outward, in the courtyard, the great elder was walking out with a calm face following the people who came to report, and did not find her divine sense.
Ximen Longjin was a little curious about this "grandfather", so his divine sense followed him all the way out, and by the way, he also wanted to try the limit of the current range of divine consciousness.
The Great Elder walked all the way out of the courtyard, through a long corridor, and around a garden, before entering an arched door. Inside the arched gate is another courtyard, which looks quaint and atmospheric compared to the flowers that have just passed by.
The Great Elder stepped straight into one of the rooms, there were several people sitting in the room, Ximen Longjin looked at it, one of them was the patriarch he had just met, and there were five others who had never seen him, they sat in two rows, three on the left side, two on the right, and the first position on the right was empty.
"The Great Elder is really late. The man sitting first on the left spoke lightly, looking unkind.
The man looked to be about thirty years old, but because he was transformed, his appearance should not have much to do with his actual age.
"I've seen the patriarch. The Great Elder ignored him, bowed to the Patriarch, and then walked to the empty seat on the first place on the right and sat down.
There was a moment of silence in the room, and then the patriarch coughed lightly and said, "I think everyone knows that the egg predicted by the previous patriarch has broken its shell and given birth to a dragon girl. Speaking of this, the patriarch glanced at the Great Elder.
The Great Elder's face was calm and he did not speak.
"Ho, it's a pity that it's a waste that can't speak or act, and it may die at any time. The man who sat first on the left spoke again, with a slight mockery on his face.
"Third Elder, please pay attention to your words. The Great Elder glanced at him, his voice slightly cold.
"I didn't say this, it was Long Ningqiu who said it, don't you believe in Long Ningqiu's medical skills?"
"The reason why the dragon girl is congenitally deficient is because someone broke into the forbidden room in a vain attempt to steal the dragon egg and the spirit box, and after being discovered, he accidentally broke the dragon egg, which led to the early birth of the dragon girl. The woman, who was sitting in second place on the right, tapped her index finger lightly on the coffee table beside her, faintly intertwined.
"That dragon egg has been in the forbidden room for thousands of years, and there is no movement at all, if it weren't for the fact that Long Tai accidentally broke it this time, maybe he wouldn't have hatched a bird for the rest of his life. The Third Elder sneered.
"This is really the funniest joke I've ever heard, your eggs can't hatch and you can use them to fall? You can show me your eggs? Trespassing in the forbidden room is a big crime, trying to steal dragon eggs and gathering spirit boxes is a big crime, stealing can't do it, breaking the dragon eggs and causing the dragon girl to be born early is a big crime among the big crimes. The woman glanced at him with a smile, "And that fool Long Tai has always been Long Ling's follower, and the mastermind of this incident is obviously Long Ling, the third elder will not be biased towards him just because Long Ling is your son." ”
The third elder narrowed his eyes, and before he could speak, the man sitting under the woman sighed softly: "It's a pity." ”
The man was born with a good appearance, and with such a faint sigh, Ximen Longjin felt a little pity.
It's a pity that the third elder obviously didn't have pity, he almost glared at the man with a fried expression: "Sixth, let it go if you have a fart, don't pretend to be a ghost there!"
The man glanced at the Third Elder, and didn't seem to care about his offensive words at all, he only shook his head and sighed: "At the beginning of birth, she can transform into a shape, and this kind of qualification is only available to the legendary dragon god at the beginning, if you wait a little longer, wait for her to be born naturally......" At this point, he stopped.
"Yes, if it weren't for this unwarranted disaster, when she was born naturally, this dragon girl would definitely have the achievements of the dragon god back then. At that time, it will naturally lead our whole race to unprecedented strength and glory, just as prophesied. The woman who spoke earlier said.
The two of them sang and harmonized, and almost made the three elders angry.
"The matter has come to this, what are you going to do? You must not forget, now that the heirs of the Dragon Clan are in difficulty, and the Dragon Tomb has touched the edge of the Dragon Inheritance a few days ago, do you want to damage the pillars of my Dragon Clan for the sake of what has happened!"
The second elder who was named looked guilty: "In any case, even if it is an unintentional mistake, it is a fact that my son Long Tai broke the dragon egg, and he should be punished for both feelings and reason, and Long Tai also regrets the guilt, please order the punishment from the patriarch." ”
"The mastermind of Longling was fined 200 sticks, although Long Tai was an accomplice, but the dragon egg was broken by him, and he was also fined 200 sticks. At last the patriarch, who was sitting in the middle, spoke, and each of them gave two hundred sticks to end the dispute.
When Ximen Longjin heard this, she was about to withdraw her divine sense, and before withdrawing her divine sense, she subconsciously glanced at the good-looking six elders again, but that glance was actually right.
He curled his lips slightly at her.
It's been discovered!
Ximen Longjin hurriedly withdrew his divine sense.
Although it seemed to be discovered in the end, Ximen Longjin's mood was not bad, because she found that her current divine consciousness was more than three times larger than before, perhaps because when she was trapped in the dragon egg before, in order to escape from the predicament, she used her divine sense to hit the eggshell countless times, causing her current divine consciousness to be unprecedentedly powerful.
