Chapter 22: The Ancient Gods

Zhu Luan has wanted to do this for a long time, human beings are walking too slowly, and it takes most of the day to climb a mountain. Don't look at the person on his shoulders, his current speed is much faster than just now, and he climbed to the top of the mountain that the woman pointed to in three or two strokes.

However, when he arrived at the top of the mountain and looked down, Zhu Luan was stunned.

On the other side of the mountain, there is no way down the mountain.

What's going on? Out of the way? What about stations?

Zhu Luan looked left and right, looked at another mountain dozens of meters away, and wondered if it was possible to go down from the mountain over there? However, there was no road between the two hills, only a bottomless mountain stream.

He could have jumped over it, but humans can't fly, so I'm afraid it's unlikely that he would take this kind of "path", right?

With a twist of thought, Zhu Luan put down the woman on his back, turned to stare at her eyes and asked, "Sister, didn't you say that after turning over this mountain, it is the station?" What about the road? ”

The woman's gaze flickered, but quickly calmed down again. He raised his face and said angrily: "You young man, why are you so anxious!" I said I didn't let you run this way over the mountain! You didn't even ask, you ran all the way all the way, and now you blame me?! ”

Zhu Luan was unmoved, made a wrong step, steadily blocked the direction in which the woman might escape, and asked with a smile: "This sister, do you think I'm stupid?" ”

He smiled and said softly. The woman instinctively shuddered. She subconsciously took two steps back, lowered her eyes and peeked at her right.

Zhu Luan looked at her gaze quietly, and there was nothing in that direction. The woman didn't mean to pull out a weapon. So what is she looking at?

Wait, not at hand, on hand?

Zhu Luan's heart moved, and he looked at the woman's hand, which was wearing an old-fashioned watch on her wrist.

Is she looking at the time?

Thinking about the woman's deliberate move to slow down, Zhu Luan felt more and more that she seemed to be deliberately delaying time.

But what was her purpose in doing so?

Another strange thing is that it was an accident to get off the wrong car. If she is here for herself, why is she just waiting there.

Or did she get out of the car with her......

If you really follow yourself to get out of the car, it seems a little unreasonable. After all, he just came down the mountain, and it stands to reason that not many people know. Especially after Mu Lele reminded him, he was even more cautious and did not show any flaws. It shouldn't be so soon that someone with ulterior motives will come to the door.

But speaking of which, if it weren't for ulterior motives, what was the purpose of this woman who had been wandering around the mountains with herself for so long?

There was a mess, and Zhu Luan stared at the woman in a trance. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he found a figure flashing through the forest in the distance.

It's him?

Zhu Luan couldn't help but be stunned, that figure was too familiar, and he would never admit his mistake.

And just when Zhu Luan was in a daze, the woman took a step back nervously, hid her hand behind her back and carefully groped for it.

However, at the moment when the woman was about to make a move, Zhu Luan jumped up suddenly, lightly borrowed his strength on the protruding tree on the cliff wall, and easily jumped to the opposite mountain with a volley leap, and the figure flashed again, and then completely disappeared.

"......" Only the woman was left in the empty mountain forest, and her face changed and changed, and finally she sat down and fell to the ground.

"Little Jiu!"

Zhu Luan shouted, startling a burst of birds. But by the time he chased him to the mountain forest area, the figure that flashed by had long since disappeared, and he couldn't even feel the spiritual power fluctuations in the air.

Zhu Luan was anxious, and hurriedly shouted again. As a young phoenix bird, his chirping sound is comparable to ordinary people, just now the sound has startled the birds in the forest, and now when he shouts again, even the mountains are slightly shaken.

However, Zhu Luan was unaware of the movement around him, and before he could scream again, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and covered his mouth hard. A familiar voice rang in my ears: "Shut up. ”

Zhu Luan opened the hand covering his mouth, turned his head, looked at the person behind him and laughed: "Xiao Jiu, I knew it was you." ”

The man was a burly young man with a handsome face, wearing dirty overalls and a sleeveless vest with a few holes in the vest. But such a dress that looks a little down, but wearing it on him does not damage the momentum at all. And for some reason, the part of the man's eyes that should have been covered with a strip of cloth, and the tattoo in the shape of an eye on his forehead looks rather weird. If you look closely, you will also find that in the middle of the eye-shaped tattoo on his forehead, the eyeball actually moves.

The young man Zhu Luan called "Xiao Jiu" looked quite unruly in appearance, but he was one of the only three ancient gods left in the world. On the list of combat power in the demon world, it has been ranked first since the day of the list, the god of Zhongshan, the candle dragon Zhong Jiuyin.

The relevant record of this ancient god in the strange book of the human world "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is as follows:

The god of Zhongshan, known as Candle Yin, is thousands of miles long. Human face, snake body, red, living at the foot of Zhong Mountain.

It is to the effect that the god of Zhongshan, whose name is Candle Yin, is thousands of miles long, with a human face and a snake body, and a red body, and lives under Zhongshan Mountain.

There is basically nothing wrong with this text. Including the description of the original form of the candle dragon, it is also very accurate. Only the sentence "under the mountain" is a misreading. It was only because the candle dragon often appeared in Zhongshan that he was mistaken for living in Zhongshan.

In fact, the candle dragon did not live under Zhong Shan, but Zhong Shan was transformed by his spirit. Candle Dragon and Zhong Shan are one. When Zhongshan is here, the candle dragon can last forever. The candle dragon is here, and Zhongshan will always stand there.

From ancient times to the present, the demon beasts all know this, and the candle dragon and Zhongshan coexist in the same body, relying on each other and supporting each other. Although no one has ever dared to imagine it, if anyone is really crazy and wants to be unfavorable to Candle Dragon, it will not be possible until he and Zhong Shan are destroyed at the same time. As long as one of the two remains, the candle dragon and Zhong Shan can live forever.

As a god who has been revered and feared by demon beasts since ancient times, Zhongshan is a tacit forbidden place for all demon beasts - if you are not careful, what if you are not careful, how can it be good if the great god thinks that he wants to plot against him?

But in this "forbidden land", Zhu Luan came and went freely when he was a child. As the son of the Phoenix Emperor, who is also one of the ancient gods, these legendary ancient gods are just familiar uncles and uncles in his eyes. The fear and worship that other monsters would have never existed. And it's strange to say that Zhu Luan is commensurate with Ying Long, Ju Mang, Xiang Liu and others as elders. But he only refused to recognize Candle Dragon as an elder, and kept calling him "Little Jiu". Since he was a child, he likes to rely on the candle dragon, and before Ying Long picked up the little tengu Liuliu, the best thing to play with him was the candle dragon.

Zhu Luan happily punched the candle dragon, and then reached out and hooked his shoulder and smiled: "Why are you covering your eyes below?" Wouldn't it be nice to use a transfiguration? ”

The candle dragon took on human form, and all the rest of the world was the same as a normal human. There is only a pair of eyes, which do not grow side by side on the face like humans, but grow up and down. If it is seen by humans, it will definitely be scared half to death. But for a god of the level of the Candle Dragon, a transfiguration technique is completely a matter of moving his fingers. Zhu Luan really couldn't figure out why he chose such a "dirty" method. Aren't you afraid of being seen as blind?

However, Candle Dragon didn't intend to pick up Zhu Luan's words at this time, but just asked, "Why did you come here?" ”

"Oh, that's a long story, we'll talk about it later." Zhu Luan waved his hand and continued to circle the candle dragon. Zhu Luan was very happy when he met an old acquaintance in a foreign country, and he threw out a series of questions: "Let's talk about you first!" ”

"Where have you been all these years? What are you doing now? We must have not seen each other in hundreds of years, right? By the way, you said last time...... Huh? ”

A trace of burnt smell suddenly wafted through the end of his nose, Zhu Luan sniffed, approached the candle dragon and sniffed it, and said strangely: "Who did you fight with?" ”
