Chapter 10: Fifty Years Ago
After walking through the ghost gate, the food stall owner just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief. When asked about Master Long by An Ran, he couldn't help but stiffen.
Wang Shengli was angry when he saw him like this, and when he went up, he kicked him directly in the face and scolded: "You bastard, didn't you listen to An Ye's question, are you dumb or deaf?" Answer quickly! ”
The food stall was already bruised and swollen, and was kicked in the face, and it was painful, and he grinned and said: "Uncle, don't fight, don't fight, I said, I said it's not okay?" ”
Wang Shengli's stick policy worked well, and the boss of the food stall told you eloquently: "I also told you the origin of this Broken Dragon Mountain before, and the pendant dragon mouth you are going to is where the dragon head of the legendary dragon fell back then." ”
"This falling dragon has practiced for thousands of years, and finally won the way to fly, but it failed at the last moment and was shot down, and his heart was naturally unwilling, and over time he became resentful and turned into a demon dragon."
"After the death of the falling dragon, the resentment is also difficult to dissipate, the dragon soul turns into countless flying insects, wandering in the mouth of the falling dragon, as long as there are living beings entering, the dragon soul will take away the soul of the living soul and be a slave of the dragon soul."
Speaking of which, the food stall owner pointed out the door. What he meant was that the big man who was frozen into an ice sculpture outside the door was taken away by the dragon soul.
After speaking, the food stall owner looked at An Ran timidly: "An Ye, I know that's all there is!" ”
"Bullshit!"
Even Wang Shengli could hear that this legend was not reliable at all, and it was too far-fetched to say that the strange flying insect was transformed by the dragon soul, and to say that the frozen person was the dragon soul that took away the soul.
The flying insect is clearly a kind of creature, with a complete individual, and even has its own consciousness, and it cannot be a doppelganger of a consciousness body.
Besides, after being deceived by the owner of the food stall, Wang Shengli didn't believe that there was any dragon soul in this world.
was scolded, the food stall owner was full of grievances, and said with a bitter face: "This lord, this legend has been passed down for thousands of years, and it has been passed down like this, I don't know what the dragon master is!" ”
"Hey, you dare to talk back!" When Wang Shengli heard this, he rolled up his sleeves and raised his hand to fight.
An Ran stopped Wang Shengli and said, "What he said is not useless. Although most of the legends are exaggerated by myths and deviate from reality, they are by no means groundless. ”
Xia Bing also nodded and said, "That's right, at least from the legends, these strange insects are from the mouth of the falling dragon. ”
Her eyebrows suddenly lit up, and she looked at the food stall owner and said, "Have you heard from the elders that when did the legend about the dragon soul begin?" ”
The food stall owner thought for a while.
Wang Shengli shouted impatiently: "Say it quickly, dare to play tricks, master, I picked your skin and lit the sky lantern today, do you believe it or not?" ”
In this barren mountain and wilderness, he was attacked by flying insects, and if Wang Shengli really wanted to kill him, no one would know, and if he died, he would die in vain.
The owner of the food stall didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "The legend of the falling dragon has indeed been passed down for thousands of years, whether it is a thousand years or two thousand years, where will I know?" But ......"
The food stall owner paused suddenly.
Wang Shengli glared at him and shouted, "But what? Say it! ”
The owner of the food stall said: "But when I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that the Falling Dragon Pass was not what it is now, and the mountain people living nearby still went there. Almost 50 years ago, there was a sudden upheaval at the mouth of the falling dragon, with snow and strong winds in June. ”
"Fifty years ago!"
An Ran and Xia Bing screamed almost at the same time.
The owner of the food stall was taken aback, a little unclear, thinking that he would say fifty years ago, why were these two so excited?
He nodded stunned and said timidly, "Yes, what happened fifty years ago?" ”
An Ran waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, you continue!" ”
The owner of the food stall continued: "I heard grandpa say that after the snowfall in June, there was a sudden abnormal sound at the mouth of the falling dragon, and countless white flying insects circled in the mouth of the falling dragon for several days, and all the living creatures that approached were frozen, and only some cold-resistant pines and cypresses survived. ”
"Since then, no one has come out of the dragon's mouth. The elders all said that it was the dragon soul that was angry, and the resentment was difficult to get rid of and wanted to harm people, and since then, the dragon's mouth has become a forbidden place for the local mountain people. ”
After listening to the words of the food stall owner, An Ran and Xia Bing looked at each other.
Obviously, the legend of the dragon soul is far from the legend of the falling dragon in time. The legend of the falling dragon has been around for a thousand years, but the legend of the dragon soul asking for his life is only fifty years old.
The fallen dragon has died for thousands of years before the dragon soul comes to harm people, even if it is a legend, it is logically unreasonable. Obviously, the so-called dragon soul has nothing to do with the legend of the falling dragon.
However, at this point in time, An Ran and Xia Bing were very concerned.
Fifty years ago, it happened to be the time when Xia Bing's grandfather Xia Long and the adventure team arrived at the mouth of the falling dragon.
Both An Ran and Xia Bing felt that the disappearance of the falling dragon's mouth was inseparable from Xia Long's adventure team.
Snow and winds blow in June.
These descriptions are consistent with the blizzard hailstorm described in Xia Long's notes, and the demon wind that followed.
In this way, the things recorded in Xia Long's notes are indeed true, and the credibility is relatively high.
This was the first good news since they started their adventure, and at least it proved the authenticity of Xia Long's notes, and guaranteed that they would not come in vain this time.
"In which direction is the mouth of the falling dragon?" Wei Shanhe now just wants to find the mouth of the falling dragon as soon as possible and see what is going on.
Whether it's a strange insect or a note, maybe the answer to all the mysteries can only be found by reaching the mouth of the falling dragon.
"You're still going to the Dragon's Mouth? It's damn bad! The food stall owner couldn't understand whether these three people had their heads caught in the door or what's going on, and couldn't help but say: "Whether the strange insects are dragon masters or not, they can kill us." Now that they're outside, it's hard to say if we can go back alive, and you're going to go to the dragon's mouth to die? ”
An Ran pouted and smiled, but did not answer.
He has a reason to go, and if he gives up halfway, he can only wait for death.
Xia Bing has more mysteries about his grandfather to solve, and he has to go.
This time, even Wang Shengli was very resolute, and he was determined to go to the Falling Dragon Pass with An Ran and Xia Bing to find the truth, of course, for him, there may be other purposes.
Like, that legendary treasure.
The food stall owner really couldn't understand the brain circuits of these adventurers, so he stretched out his hand and pointed to the back of the main hall and said, "There is a back door in the main hall, which can go to the back mountain." Listening to the elders, you can reach the mouth of the falling dragon from the back mountain all the way to the north. ”
There are routes, but it would be nice to have a guide.
So An Ran, Xia Bing and Wang Shengli all threw ill-intentioned glances at the food stall boss.
"I ...... I'm not going to ......."
The food stall owner was full of horror, and the name Falling Dragon Mouth seemed to him to be hell, and he didn't want to go to anything. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the three of them, he suddenly rushed to the door, wanting to open the door and escape.
An Ran and Wang Shengli hurriedly pounced on the door and held it down.
An Ran scolded: "Those strange insects are outside, don't bother us if you look for death yourself!" ”
The food stall owner was bent on going back to town, and begged, "There is no sound outside, those strange insects may have flown away a long time ago, so you can let me go back to town!" ”
"Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, I'll kneel down for you, spare me!"
As he spoke, the food stall owner really knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the three of them, making a clang.
