Volume 68 Dragon Tomb
Burial Longgang is between Huogu and Yanyunguan, it is said that when the first immortal, a candle dragon with spiritual power is not shallow died here, its body is huge, the skeleton coils around the hill continuously, after the accumulation of years of wind and rain, the keel gradually blends with the valley body, this mountain looks like a giant dragon crawling on the ground from a distance, so it is called - Burial Longgang.
Jing Li is not very familiar with these places, so this trip is also regarded as a vision of the eye, but how can this trip be safe and comfortable?
Due to the middle-aged man's skillful driving skills, the car would not have too many bumps in the difficult and dangerous sections, and under his leadership, several people soon arrived at the burial Longgang Pass.
"Senior Brother Helian, you said that this uncle really has a hand at driving, and my ass is very comfortable all the way!" Ma Thanos patted his ass and said.
Helian Sheng corrected, "It's not that this person has high driving skills, but because of the blood dragon horse he sat on." ”
In this world, there is a delicate relationship between people and spirit animals, some people tame spirit animals as tools, and this kind of person is a spirit trainer, this kind of person and spirit animals have a very high commonality, that is, the spirit pulse frequency of the two is extremely similar, so the two sides can have spiritual resonance.
"As far as I know, the blood dragon horse tamed by this person is to drive spiritual power to run, and its spiritual hall is in its hooves, and the spiritual power circulates in the hooves when running, so the blood dragon horse travels thousands of miles like walking on the ground." Helian Sheng said to several people in the car.
Just when several people were amazed by the blood dragon horse, the speed of the carriage slowly slowed down.
"Several, the burial of Longgang has arrived!" The middle-aged man driving the car shouted loudly.
Yu Wenlin opened the curtain of the carriage when he heard it, and soon a fragrance wafted from outside the carriage, as if he was burning a special plant, this strange fragrance is difficult to describe in words, like the smell of flowers and plants mixed with sea water.
When they first arrived at the burial of Longgang, several people were shocked by the local buildings, and the houses of the local people were built along the dragon skeleton, which was no more dangerous than the seepage from the abyss. The streets here follow the backbone of the keel and wind their way up to the top of the hill, where a sun-like dragon skull overlooks the town majestically.
"Several, this is the burial of Longgang!" The dark-skinned man enthusiastically introduced Jing Li and his party.
Jing Li looked around the place, and in an instant she became an excited little girl again, pulling Ma Thanos and Yu Wenlin around again.
"Childe, I see it's getting late, if you don't mind, stay in my wine shop for one night!" The man offered to invite a few people.
Helian Sheng thought about it for a while, thinking that it would not be easy to find a place to stay when he first came here, so he nodded and agreed.
However, Helian Sheng was wary of this person from the beginning, he just wanted to see what tricks this person was going to play.
"When you get to the wine shop, always beware of this person......" Helian Sheng whispered in Yi Wuhua's ear.
Yi Wuhua clenched the sword in her hand and nodded in response.
"Jing Li, let's go to the wine shop for one night first, hurry up!" Helian Sheng shouted at the Jingli people who were wandering around the street.
The middle-aged man looked at the children with a smile on his face, and the vitality on their bodies deeply attracted his attention.
"This girl's surname is Jing?" The man asked, tilting his head.
Helian Sheng nodded vigilantly, he didn't understand why so many people were so interested in Jing Li's surname, and he still didn't know the secret.
Jing Li put away her playfulness, and obediently ran to Helian Sheng's side and called, "Where are we going?" ”
Helian Sheng pointed to the uncle in front of him and said, "Go to this uncle's wine shop for one night." ”
The middle-aged man saw that everyone was all together and led a few people through the complicated streets, along the way, Helian Sheng found that almost every house in this place was burning a kind of incense at the door, no wonder the fragrance was overflowing here when he got out of the car, and the city was filled with a thick fog like the sea.
And as a few people slowly walked into the depths of the street, the fog began to thicken and thicken, as if soaked in cow's milk.
"Uncle, what are they burning?" Ma Thanos asked, pointing to the incense burner in front of a family's house.
The uncle glanced at it indifferently and explained, "This is sea lotus incense, made from a lotus flower that grows in the West Sea. ”
"A lotus flower that grows on the sea?" Jing Li poked his lower lip with his little finger, and was a little puzzled for a while.
"This sea lotus is the dragon's favorite food before his death, and today is the dragon burial festival, the locals are very respectful of this dragon, so every year today burns incense to sacrifice the soul of the dead dragon......" At this point, a little sadness flashed in the man's eyes.
Under the casual conversation of several people, they walked to a wine shop with bright lights, and the wine flag was displayed, but there were few customers.
"Juyong, you're back!" As soon as the footsteps of several people reached the door, a woman leaned out from the second floor and called intimately.
The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and said to the children behind him, "This is my wife, Shang Qianniang ......"
A few days later, the woman came downstairs with a rouge scent, and a man rushed to the middle-aged man with tears in his eyes.
The man rubbed her head and comforted, "I've only been there for a month, how can I make it like life and death parting......"
After the woman calmed down, she noticed a few energetic children behind her, and after rubbing her teary eyes, she asked with doubts in her eyes, "Who are these children?" ”
"Oh! Here are a few kids I met along the way, and they're spending the night here tonight. The man explained.
Aside from the man's words, Shang Qianniang took a fancy to the girl Jing Li behind him at a glance, her watery eyes and immature little face were like fairies who were not stained with fireworks in the world. Shang Qianniang rushed forward with an arrow, and Helian Sheng was alert to reach out to stop it, but unexpectedly, Shang Qianniang bypassed Helian Sheng with an afterimage, leaving only a trace of spiritual power swimming in the air. Helian Sheng's heart was shocked, this person's body method and spiritual power cultivation were all above him.
"Girl, what's your name, you look weird!" Shang Qianniang held Jing Li's little hand and asked eagerly.
Jing Li was flattered and replied, "I...... Call...... Jing Li......"
"Jingli ......" Shang Qianniang recalled this name in her mind for a long time, her eyes were like a crescent moon, and she smiled warmly.
"Juyong! Go cook and don't let these kids go hungry! Shang Qianniang's charming image was shattered in an instant, and the image of a good wife and mother collapsed at all.
Jing Li looked at Shang Qianniang with a smile on her face, her delicate facial features are also rare in the world! Jing Li was immersed in Shang Qianniang's face as usual.
"Girl? Girl? Shang Qianniang patted Jing Li's shoulder, and only then did she wake up like a nymphomaniac.
"Come, don't stand stupid, children, how cold it is outside! Come on in! Shang Qianniang pulled Jingli and a few of them to the house.
Helian Sheng's previous suspicions about Ju Yong were dispelled in an instant, maybe he had never seen a bad guy who was so afraid of his mother, the gap between them was really thousands of feet!
Shang Qianniang led a few children to sit down in the high pavilion of the wine shop, opened the window and looked, the thousands of fire lamps in Longgang were blooming all over the ground like red flowers, and the black and blue sky sent a cool breeze. Jing Li and his entourage sat down in front of the balcony of the high pavilion, just taking in the unobstructed scenery of the city.
"Boom!" There was a stir-fry sound from the kitchen downstairs in the restaurant, and when I heard it, I knew that it was Brother Ju Yong cooking.
"Shang Qianniang, your wine shop is so big, why don't you see a guest?" Helian Sheng asked, sipping the tea from his lips.
Shang Qianniang stretched out her hand and shook it, a wry smile appeared on her face, and she sighed, "This world is chaotic......
"Where do you start?" Helian Sheng got up.
"Burial Longgang is between Huogu and Yanyun Pass, located in an important place of commerce and trade, in previous years, business travel has been endless, and this place is a prosperous scene......" Shang Qianniang's words stopped abruptly, as if she didn't want to mention it again.
"This place has attracted disasters because of the treasure in this dragon's skull, and now it has been invaded by the spirit beast group of the smoke vulture three times and twice, and the people with shallow spiritual cultivation in the local area have moved to other places, and my wife and I have only been staying here because we think of this place......" Brother Juyong walked up with a plate of food in his hand.
"Childe, in fact, our meeting today is not accidental, but I drove you down because I asked you......" Ju Yong said and put the delicacies in his hand on the table.
The corners of Helian Sheng's mouth hooked up with a smile, he never thought that this person actually asked for them, it seems that this matter is not trivial......
Ma Thanos Yu Wenlin's mouth was drooling, and his eyes were shining staring at the delicacies on the table, those - dragon marrow tofu, burning cloud hooves, Banxia Baizhu Tianma soup, wine Zhu evergreen vegetables, and Gandi fruits are all the best that several of them love to eat, and the two of them devoured them as soon as they served the dishes.
"Most of the people who stay here now are spirits with more than two spirit halls, and you can't protect your life without strength here!" Ju Yong said emphatically.
"Woo, it's delicious!" Ma Thanos and Yu Wenlin turned a deaf ear to Juyong's admonition and only concentrated on eating.
"Then I don't know why Brother Juyong is looking for us? Our spiritual cultivation is no better than the two of you! Helian Sheng asked for some reason.
"I smell the spirit seed on you......" Ju Yong said in a hypocritical manner.
"How?" Yi Wuhua asked Ju Yong for advice.
"Childe, do you have such a rare ancient spirit as Cehai Cangdi?" Ju Yong asked.
Helian Sheng was silent for a long time, and the person in front of him made him more and more unable to guess, this person is profound, but why should he ask them for help, if he wants to kill people and take spirits, they will definitely die in an instant!
Shang Qianniang saw that Ju Yong's words frightened Helian Sheng, and hurriedly explained: "This young man doesn't need to be frightened, we don't have any malicious intentions, we just have the ancient spirit of asking for Gongzi." ”
Ju Yong immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head to the floor, Helian Sheng couldn't stand him like this, and immediately helped Ju Yong's brother from the next seat.
Ju Yong put his hands next to Helian Sheng's arms and said, "I was originally the general of the city guarding Longgang buried here, and I was ordered by the late old city lord to protect this place from the outside world, but I can ......."
It turns out that although the burial of Longgang is located in the territory of Northern Chu but is not controlled by the imperial court, it is a completely independent city-state, and generations of city lords have the responsibility of protecting the city, they not only have to protect the safety of the people in the city, but also have a more important mission than this - to guard the treasure in the dragon's skull, the crown prince in the beast spirit, and the dragon beast spirit!
However, the old city lord who was buried in Longgang had just passed away, and the new young city lord was still too young to protect the people in the city.
And not far from here in the forest there is a group of spirit beasts, smoke vultures, they covet the treasure in this city for a long time, take advantage of the old city lord just passed away, wantonly attack this place, want to swallow this treasure.
"Quack!" In the distance, a dark cloud of darkness in the sky was rolling towards them, and they carried a powerful spiritual power fluctuation, and if they were away, they were chaotic.
"Not good!" Ju Yong opened all the three spiritual halls on his body at once, and the powerful spiritual power fluctuations shattered the spiritual power of Jing Li and several people, and his whole body became weak.
"It's the smoke vulture...... Shang Qianniang clenched the red dress in her hand, her eyes were hollow, and instead of a kind of extreme horror......
