Chapter 418: A Simple and Complex Relationship
The pendant hanging around the old man's neck was not an ordinary accessory, and Ji Yue felt a very faint trace of a dragon's breath from it.
When the people built a dragon temple to worship the white dragon, according to the rules, there would be a person who presided over the ceremony, and this host was also the priest of the dragon god recognized by the people.
Just now, when walking through those abandoned houses, Ji Yue had carefully observed the patterns carved on each bungalow. The dragon patterns on the house behind the old man were obviously much more elaborate and intricate than the other ones, which proved that their family's status in the town was different.
Coupled with the fact that this old man was very determined to stay in this town, Ji Yue would have such a guess.
Looks like she's right.
"I can't see it, girl, even my own daughter doesn't believe in priests and gods, and always says that I am superstitious, but I didn't expect you young people to know something."
The old man also came back to her senses after the initial surprise, but her eyes were still full of vigilance as she looked at Ji Yue and the others.
This pendant has been passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors, and according to the ancestors, it is a very important thing, and it will one day be returned to the dragon god, so it must not be lost, let alone handed over to the hands of people with bad intentions.
She has been wearing this pendant for decades since she got it, and everyone usually thinks that it is just an inconspicuous ordinary accessory, but today is the first time that outsiders have recognized it.
Naturally, she had to be wary.
The old man thought that even if she fought for her life, she had to protect this pendant, and it must not fall into the hands of outsiders.
Although this cute-looking girl did not show the slightest hostility from beginning to end.
"Rest assured, I have no ill will." Ji Yue smiled lightly, and her calm temperament made the old man relax a little, "The ancestor of our family had a little relationship with the dragon god, so we will know about it." ”
Hearing this, Feng Jize turned his head and glanced at Ji Yue, but he didn't show anything unusual.
Arthur looked at Feng Jize, then at Jiyue and raised his eyebrows.
It seems that Aze doesn't know about this, and he doesn't see that Ji Yue's ability to fool people is also quite strong.
A hint of surprise rose on the old man's face, but she didn't say anything, but waited for Ji Yue to continue.
"Our Feng family has a very long history, and there was once a generation of disciples who were fortunate enough to get acquainted with the white Jiao in the Yong'an River when they traveled and became friends with it." Ji Yue said and gently raised a hand, palms facing upwards in a lifting manner.
A faint white dot of light appeared above her hand, shakily condensing. The white dots of light were attracted, and they all drifted towards the center, forming a larger cluster of light.
Under the shocked gaze of the old man and the little boy, the expressionless face of Feng Jize, and the subtle and playful gaze of Arthur, the ball of light gradually changed its shape.
A piece of dragon scales condensed in Ji Yue's hand.
"It's... This is! The old man stood up again, her eyes wide open and no longer as clear as they had been when she was younger, and her right hand clutched tightly the dragon-shaped pendant that hung from her chest.
She clearly felt the burning heat in her palms.
The white dragon scales held in the void in Ji Yue's hand were flashing with a faint light, and the pendant she was holding in her palm was also radiating heat at the same frequency.
To say that there is no connection between the two, the old man does not believe it!
"What is this?" She already had a guess in her heart, but she still asked excitedly.
She wants to be confirmed from Ji Yue's mouth!
This pendant is the first time that such an anomaly has appeared, and it has been here for generations, and the old man himself is a little unable to tell whether the story of the dragon god is true or false. For a legend handed down from her ancestors, she persisted in this place for a lifetime, and at this time, seeing the scene of the dragon god's manifestation, the old man was suddenly a little excited.
"Don't get excited." Feng Jize saw that the old man's excited body trembled a little, stood up and walked to her side, stretching out a hand to hold her arm.
The spiritual power quietly entered the old lady's body, calming down her obviously rapid breathing a little.
"People always like to be surprised when they get old." The old man took a deep breath, "Tell me, girl, what the hell is this!" ”
"The seniors in the family and Bai Jiao are old friends, and this dragon scale was handed over to her by Bai Jiao, and it has been passed down from generation to generation like this pendant. Because of the same breath, this pendant will heat up. Ji Yue said in a flat tone.
The dragon scales were no longer floating, but landed in the palm of her hand.
In his delicate hand, he held a saucer-sized white dragon scale, and the patterns on the dragon scales were very complex, and if you looked closely, you could find that they were slightly similar to the lines carved on those houses.
The old lady believed Ji Yue's words at that time.
"You—" Her eyes were misty, and she suddenly didn't know how to express her feelings.
"We have only recently found these secrets left by our predecessors, the dragon god has a friendship with my Feng family, and we should come to visit." Ji Yue's words were very serious, if it weren't for Feng Jize's lack of reaction, Arthur would have almost believed that the Feng family really had a relationship with the white dragon!
"Let's go, I'll take you to the Dragon Temple!" The old man stretched out his hand, and Tie Dan'er, who was standing next to him, grabbed his grandmother very discerningly and acted as her crutch.
Ji Yue also stood up and walked to the other side of the old man, stretched out her hand and gently supported her.
"Girl, thank you," said the old lady as she walked out tremblingly, "I have been in this town all my life, and I don't know how many years I can live. ”
Ji Yue listened to the old lady's words quietly and did not interject.
Feng Jize and Arthur followed behind and exchanged words in a whisper.
"Where did you get those dragon scales from in the moon?! Do you Feng family really know that white dragon? Arthur asked.
"I don't know." Feng Jize replied very decisively.
"......" Arthur paused, completely speechless at the brother and sister.
"Woohoo!" The familiar barking of the dog came again, and the big, emaciated wolfdog that he had seen before ran out. It first glanced at Ji Yue a little timidly, and when it saw that she didn't react, it let out a low whimper and pounced on the iron egg.
"Don't make trouble!" Tie Dan was pounced on by the big wolf dog, and he didn't stand firm and took two steps back, almost sitting on the ground.
It's just that he has a smile on his face, and it can be seen that the relationship between this person and dog is very close.
"The Dragon Temple is right behind, and I go to clean it every day, and no one else has been there in a long time except for my own family." The old lady said.
