Chapter Forty-Eight: Dragon Slaying Valley
Duan Feng patted his drowsy head and struggled to sit up, Liu Yuwei and Du Tong, who were dozens of meters away, also sat up in a daze, and the three of them looked at the unfamiliar environment around them on a red boulder with a blank face.
The boulder is several feet high, sitting in the middle of a steep wall that is more than 1,000 feet high, and the surface is very smooth, and it is covered with patchwork and orderly textures. It is surrounded by steep barren mountains, with few trees, except for a few dry flowers and plants that decorate the orange-red peaks.
Below the steep wall is a canyon about 50 miles long and about 10 miles wide, and there are some rolling boulders scattered in the canyon, and from a distance, the whole canyon looks like a giant tomb dug by man, and they are standing on the steep wall in the middle of the canyon.
The three of them jumped off the boulder with each other's arms, looked around, and found no way up the steep wall, so they could only walk slowly down the steep rocks to the bottom of the canyon.
Suddenly, a deafening roar pierced the sky, and the three of them looked up to see a white dragon hovering above the canyon, this dragon was more than thirty feet long, churning up and down in the air, and the dragon's tail was blown to pieces wherever it touched, and the roar shook the valley.
The height of the dragon is getting lower and lower, gradually lower than the peaks on both sides, the head is lowered, as if a pair of invisible hands are pressing the dragon's head, making its height lower and lower, the dragon flies down quickly, and every time it is about to touch the ground, the dragon will quickly raise its head and run into the air, but it cannot get out of the canyon.
The giant dragon let out a long roar and flew towards Duan Feng and the others, and before a few people could react, the giant dragon swept quickly across the stone rock next to him, Duan Feng's feet were unstable, and he was shocked by the violent vibration and fell to the field.
At this time, Duan Feng saw the true face of the dragon, the purple-red eyes of the watermelon were inlaid on the gray-white head, and the whole body was covered with snow-white scales, and the strange thing was that the four dragon claws of this giant dragon only had three fingers, and there were dragon whiskers on only one side of the dragon's mouth.
What surprised Duan Feng even more was that there was a white-bearded old man riding on the dragon's back, the old man was holding a few dragon whiskers in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand, frequently hitting the white dragon's head, and did not notice Duan Feng and the others.
Maybe it was the cause of the pain, every time the old man struck, the white dragon would let out a deafening roar, twisting his body and tumbling up and down in the air, but how the dragon rolled and hit, the old man grabbed the dragon's whiskers, clamped the dragon's body tightly with his legs, and knocked on the dragon's head.
However, because the dragon was so big, the old man was obviously a little exhausted, and he kept stopping to wipe his sweat, and then continued to strike, and the old man staggered on the dragon's back and followed the dragon up and down, as if it would fall down at any moment.
The three of them squatted behind a boulder and secretly watched the dragon, every time the dragon hit a mountain, Duan Feng would sweat for the old man, but the old man obviously often faced this kind of crisis, even if he was a little physically exhausted, but he still skillfully knocked on the dragon's head, and every time he could save the day.
Suddenly, the white dragon roared angrily and flew straight towards the three of them again, unlike last time, the dragon came directly towards the boulder, Duan Feng suspected that the dragon wanted to die with the old man, but because the dragon was too fast, the three of them had no time to dodge, in a hurry, Duan Feng pulled out the cold ice sword behind him, and tried his best to block forward.
"Boom!"
After two loud bangs, the white dragon had already fallen heavily to the ground, knocking a boulder more than two zhang high into the air, stirring up dust more than ten zhang high, and sliding at the bottom of the valley for several hundred meters before stopping, leaving a white flower groove.
When the dust cleared, the three of them hurriedly ran over and looked at the dying white dragon on the ground, panting heavily in their mouths, and the light blue flesh was exposed where the scales on their bodies fell off.
"Ahem!"
Suddenly, a hammer was thrown from under the dragon's body, followed by a white-bearded old man crawling out from behind the dragon, the old man's gray-white robe was stained with pale blue blood, and his face was stained with purple-red dirt.
Although he was smashed by the dragon underneath, the old man did not seem to be hurt at all, only to see the old man running around the crowd, running directly to the dragon's head, pulling out a hammer the size of a fist from the waist behind him, carefully striking the dragon head a few times, and then said: "It's okay!
The three of them approached the old man strangely, ready to ask what was going on, but the old man suddenly turned around, pointed at Duan Feng with a small hammer and said sharply: "Who asked you to use a sword, what if you cut down my dragon follower!"
Duan Feng was a little overwhelmed by the sudden reprimand, and forgot what he should say for a while.
At this time, Liu Yuwei next to him said: "I said, why are you unreasonable, this old man? If it wasn't for my brother Feng to help you just now, you would have crashed into the cliff with it, not only did you not thank my brother Feng, but you also dared to blame us." ”
When the old man heard this, he became even more angry, and the two snow-white beards on the side of his mouth curled slightly, and said: "Who asked you to help, I will subdue it soon, in case I cut off my dragon marrow, will you pay for it?"
Liu Yuwei still wanted to continue the theory, but was stopped by Duan Feng, Duan Feng said: "The situation was really critical just now, and the juniors were also in a hurry, and I hope that the seniors will forgive their sins." ”
When the old man heard this, he pursed his lips and said, "This is like a human saying." ”
The old man tucked the little hammer back into his waist, made a trip along the dragon's body, shook his head and said to himself, "It's a pity that I have a good dragon skin." ”
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" asked the old man, carrying the hammer the size of his head.
"We came from the human world, and we came to find people. Duan Feng said.
The old man said, "The human world?" The old man looked Duan Feng and the others up and down suspiciously, as if he was suspicious.
The old man approached Duan Feng and sniffed it, then snorted and continued, "It's been a long time since no human race has set foot here, how did you come here. ”
Duan Feng said: "We are lost, and I hope that our seniors can give us some advice." ”
"Lost?" thought to the old man, "even if you get lost, you won't be able to get here, it seems that these three people are of unknown origin, and they are not from the Far North, but what does this have to do with me? ”
The old man looked at Duan Feng again, feeling that he was not an evil person, and smiled slightly: "Okay, since I met you here today, it is also fate, I will help you." But you'll have to do me a favor first. ”
Duan Feng asked, "What's the hurry?"
The old man pointed to the white dragon on the ground, Duan Feng looked around and saw that there was no one else, such a big white dragon, the old man would definitely not be able to carry it away alone, so he and Han Qingliu Yuwei struggled to lift the white dragon and followed the old man out of the canyon.
After leaving the canyon and walking dozens of miles of mountain roads, the three of them followed the old man to a courtyard, which was planted with some unknown plants, which seemed to be herbs. The old man asked the three of them to put the white dragon in the courtyard, and then out of the house came two children dressed as scholars.
"Why didn't Grandpa call us?" one of the children took the hammer from the old man's hand and carried it on his shoulder.
"No, I've met a few helpers to save you both some effort. ”
The two children looked at Duan Feng and the others curiously, "Is it the human race?" the child couldn't hide his excitement and said in a lost voice.
"That's right! I used to hear my grandfather talk about it, but today I can be regarded as alive!" The two children looked up and down around Duan Feng and the others as if they were visiting a zoo, although they themselves were the same as Duan Feng, but this still couldn't stop their curiosity.
The three of them followed the old man into the house, the room was not big, there was a table of eight immortals at the main entrance, two purple wood carved Taishi chairs were placed on both sides of the table, several landscape paintings were hung on both sides of the room, and a huge ink landscape map was hung on the wall in the center, which occupied half of the wall.
Then the old man changed into a purple robe and walked out of the back room.
Duan Feng said his name to the old man, and after listening to the introduction of the three of them, the old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Who are you looking for here?"
Duan Feng told the old man what happened to Su Yanjun, and after listening to it, the old man frowned, shook his head and said, "So that's the case, I advise you not to look for it." ”
When Duan Feng heard this, he asked, "What do you mean by this, senior?"
The old man said, "Oh, don't always be a senior, everyone here calls me Tianwen old man, you can just call it that." ”
"Tianwen?" Du Tong next to him muttered: "Tianwen?, such a familiar name." ”
Liu Yuwei asked, "What is familiar?"
Du Tong said: "I can't remember it for a while, but I feel like I've seen this name somewhere." ”
Duan Feng glanced at the two of them, motioned for them to shut up, and continued, "Okay, ask the seniors that day. What do you mean you didn't let us look for it just now?"
The old man glanced at Duan Feng, and said impatiently: "Don't ask, in short, don't look for it, if you're lucky, you can wait here, maybe it won't take a few days, the girl Su you are looking for will come here, if you don't come......"
"Why?" Duan Feng asked confusedly.
"There's no why, I'll tell you for the sake of you helping me, in short, you don't have to look for it, don't run around, and if she doesn't come in a few days, then you can leave. ”
"But ......"
"Don't ask any more, just wait here honestly!"
The old man stopped Duan Feng, looked at Duan Feng carefully, and asked, "Young man, have you been seriously injured recently?"
"How do you know?"
Since taking the Immortal Spirit Grass, although Duan Feng's aura has not yet recovered, his body has basically recovered, and there is no trace of injury on his appearance, so he asks this question.
The old man smiled and said, "The old man has been practicing medicine for so many years, and this little trick is not difficult for me. ”
Duan Feng nodded and said, "I won't tell you the truth, I was indeed seriously injured before, but now I have recovered." ”
"Healed, isn't it?" said the old man suspiciously, "I'm afraid not only has it not been cured, but it has become more serious."
"Impossible, right? I must have made a mistake, I feel that I am in good health now, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”
The old man didn't answer, but looked at Duan Feng like a monster, stroked his beard, and said, "Difficult! difficult!"
While the two were talking about the condition, Du Tong suddenly ran over, grabbed an old book in his hand and asked, "You said your name is Tianwen?"
The old man said suspiciously, "What's the matter?"
Du Tong confirmed again: "Heavenly question, medical immortal heavenly question?"
The old man waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "What kind of doctor is a doctor of immortals and ghosts, the old man, I am just a langzhong, and I know some medical skills." ”
Duan Feng next to him asked, "What medical immortal?"
Du Tong said: "This is a medical book given to me by my father before he died, which records that there was once a medical immortal named Tianwen, who was skilled in medicine, and could do everything to heal gods and ghosts. Three hundred years ago, for some reason, the medical immortal suddenly disappeared in the world, but I didn't expect to meet here today. ”
Liu Yuwei asked, "Three hundred years ago, then he couldn't be a few hundred years old? Is he still a human being?"
Du Tong said: "I don't know, according to the book, the medical immortal has excellent medical skills, and legend has it that he once researched a prescription for immortality, and Tianwen disappeared with the elixir after successfully refining the elixir." ”
When the old man heard this, he smiled bitterly: "What kind of elixir of immortality is in this world, it's just the desire of the world." ”
Du Tong asked, "How did you get to this point, and how did you come here?"
The old man sighed and said, "That's a long way to talk. ”
