Dragon fire is not the most precious thing on the ancient dragon, it is said that the dragon has reverse scales and will be angry when touched, but in fact, it shows that the reverse scales on the dragon's body are the weakest and most important thing of a dragon. Generally speaking, the reverse scales grow on the back of the neck and cannot be touched by ordinary people.

Dragon fire can be regenerated, which has been confirmed by some Western scholars who study ancient dragons, some dragons have throat injuries and may not be able to breathe fire for a period of time, because the dragon fire is damaged or the oil bag is broken. However, the ancient dragon's regeneration ability is very strong, and the dragon fire will recover after resting for a while.

I'm sure the black, coke-like thing in front of me is dragon fire, but why is it here? Why did it fall into the hands of the Snow Maiden?

"Xiao Dong, you tell the Snow Girl that if it is willing to tell me everything, I can let it go, but the condition is that it can no longer harm people in the future, but obediently reincarnate."

Xiao Dong immediately translated my words, and I was observing the expression of the Snow Girl, I had asked the Snow Girl some questions tentatively before Xiao Dong came, and finally landed on the word "dragon", she seemed to be very sensitive to dragons. Coupled with the dragon fire that appears in front of our eyes now, it is not difficult to speculate that it must have something to do with the ancient dragon.

After listening to Xiao Dong's words, the Snow Girl looked at me with some suspicion, and nodded after a while and spoke.

"It asks if you're going to lie to it."

"Haha, it's interesting, you tell it that my Ba Xiaoshan is a bit famous in China's supernatural circles, and I won't lie to it about a snow girl. Let it talk fast! ”

After getting my assurance, Xue Nu was still a little hesitant, and it took a long time before she spoke, while Xiao Dong translated non-stop.

"Yukiko says she's not really a modern person, she was born in Japan 300 years ago." Xiao Dong's words are not unexpected, but the three-hundred-year period seems to further verify my conjecture.

She said that she was originally born into a wealthy family, and her father loved her very much. And she was born beautiful, and she has good manners. When she reached the age of the flower season, there were many sons of rich families or heirs of daimyo who proposed to her, but she didn't like them. Because she felt that these people didn't actually love her, but only coveted her beauty, and some of them wanted to use her father's financial resources. So she has been slow to agree to any family affairs. Her father even blamed her a little for this, but she told him that she would definitely find someone of good character to marry. Later, the man showed up ......"

My conjecture was verified step by step with Xiao Dong's words.

Yukiko said that that day she went with her maid to see the cold cherry blossoms blooming in the heavy snow, which was rare and beautiful. But her father didn't agree, so she had to sneak out. But they didn't expect that when they came back, it was already dark, and they were very scared that they couldn't find their way back. In the darkness, she met a kind man, a young hunter, who could not see her face in the darkness, and she could not see the face of the hunter. They held hands, and the hunter led her out of the forest. By the time she arrived in town, her father had been waiting with his men for a long time, and she was taken away before she could even say a word to the young hunter. But when they separated, the two still looked at each other, the young hunter was very handsome, that kind of handsomeness that Yukiko had never seen before, as if he was completely different from the others, born with blue eyes, which was fascinating. Xiao Dong's translation was quite literary, and I smiled slightly and motioned for him to continue.

Yukiko said that many daimyo came to propose marriage, but she belonged to the young and handsome young hunter who saved her life and helped without knowing her identity. She wanted to marry the young hunter, but her father disagreed. So they began to date in secret, and every night, they would meet under the cold cherry blossoms, and the seeds of love were getting deeper and deeper. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and a terrible youkai in the mountains captured her and brought her into Mt. Fuji. Trapped in the dark cavern, she couldn't see anything but muffled gasps and a terrible roar. She was scared, but wished that her lover would come and save her. However, as the days passed, when she was about to despair, someone finally appeared. She said she heard the sound of fighting, but also heard fierce yelling and angry roars. Eventually, there was a mournful roar that resounded through the valley and even caused Mt. Fuji to tremble. She was rescued, but instead of seeing the young hunter, she saw her father and his family and many daimyo carrying various banners. She was then taken back to her lodgings, where her father appointed a son for her marriage. She resisted at one point, and she asked her father if the young Orion had saved him, and the father seemed to be hiding something, and he told her that the young Orion was dead. Yukiko didn't believe it, so she ran into the mountains to look for it, but found nothing. Finally, on the day of marriage, she forced her father to tell the truth, and in desperation, her father finally told the truth. ”

My guess so far is basically the same as what I heard, I had guessed that Yukiko might be the heroine of the mythical story I saw, but what happened after that was completely unknown to me, how did she become a snow girl, and where did the dragon fire come from? And wasn't that Orion married her in mythology? Why is it said to be dead here?

I patiently continued to listen.

Yukiko said that her father had told her that the young Orion was not a human, but a huge monster he had never seen before, and that when he rushed into the monster lair with his family, he found two huge monsters fighting, one a giant beast that resembled a human and the other a large bird with wings. Both sides fought fiercely, and neither of them dared to approach. They could only watch from the sidelines, and in the end they were both defeated, one of them flew out and fled covered in blood, while the other giant monster fell to the ground and turned into a huge withered tree. Later, he rescued Yukiko......"

The speculation here is not biased, I have judged that the Orion in the mythological story is not simple, there must be a origin or an artifact. Now it must be a youkai that can transform into a human form, but he is very dissatisfied when he sees his beloved woman being captured by another youkai, and he transforms his real body to fight for his life, but both sides are defeated, one of the ancient dragons escapes, and the youkai that Orion has turned into falls to the ground and dies. Judging from the fact that he turned into a withered tree after death, perhaps he was a dryad in his own right.

Yukiko was very sad to hear this, and went to look for the monster's lair, where she saw a withered tree with a token of love that she had given to the young hunter. The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and finally committed suicide, but because she had too much resentment in her heart, she finally turned into a snow girl and wanted to go to Gu Long for revenge. But Gu Long had fallen into a deep sleep, and she couldn't find Gu Long's location, so she only picked up the dragon fire left by Gu Long, and it has been preserved to this day. ”

At this point, I know the cause of her death and the origin of the dragon fire, so I can make a Japanese version of suicide martyrdom.

"I guess there was no lie, she said everything she knew. Well, ask her if she'd like to take us to see where she picked up the dragon fire, and if there is a dragon fire in that place, we'll probably be able to find the dragon's den. I said.

Xiao Dong immediately translated, and the Snow Girl hesitated for a moment and said something, Xiao Dong looked a little embarrassed when she heard it, and then turned around and said: "The Snow Girl said that she knew the location of the dragon's lair, because there was an explosion in the mountain some time ago, and an ancient dragon flew out. But she had a request, if she took us to see the dragon's lair, she had to take her with her to avenge her lover, she wanted to kill the ancient dragon to avenge her lover. ”

I frowned, the youkai who asked for it weren't good youkai.

After thinking about it for a while, I don't think it's difficult, it's just that it's a little troublesome to bring a snow girl on the road, and after sighing, he said, "Forget it, I agree, you let her lead the way." ”

Xiao Dong immediately smiled and nodded at the Snow Girl.

Luo Qiong smiled bitterly after seeing it next to him: "Xiao Dong, you can't like monsters, you don't want to become a popsicle and break this thought." ”

Xiao Dong was really embarrassed by him to say this.
