Chapter 35: True Dragon's Blood
Long Gu took out a brown clay pot from under the altar and carefully moved it to the reed mat.
That's right, it's a clay pot! An open-mouthed clay pot that resembles a large pot for Malatang.
When the dragon spirit saw this, he couldn't help but be surprised. Isn't it true that the Ryuzawa Department has not yet invented pottery-making technology, and where did this clay pot come from?
This was the first time he had seen pottery in this era, and he didn't care about disturbing the ceremony of the four women, so he hurriedly asked, "Aunt Long, what are you holding?" ”
The clay pot in Long Gumo's hand smiled and said, "This thing is called Tao." It is a treasure handed down by our ancestors, only this one, and there is also a name called Erhu Zhulu. ”
"Can you take a closer look?"
"This ......" Long Gu looked at the other three girls hesitantly.
Long Po was a little displeased and said, "Long Zi wait a minute, when we are done, you can watch it casually." ”
The dragon spirit had to wait patiently to the side.
"Let's get started." Xiao Zhu said a word, and the three of them looked solemn and sat up straight.
Long Gu lifted the wooden lid on the clay pot, holding a bamboo clip in her hand, looking for something inside.
Long Jing stood tall, stretched out his head to take a look, and saw that the basin was filled with more than half a basin of water, and there were some green creatures moving in the water, but there were more than a dozen leeches.
The Long Gu looked at it for a while and wondered, "There are three missing, why do you eat so quickly?" ”
Long Po frowned, also looked down, waved her hand and said, "I'll talk about this later, take the true dragon blood first." ”
Long Gu put the bamboo clip into it, and took out a leech from it, and Long Jing looked at it, and it turned out to be a purple leech!
This leech is the size of a finger, and the other leeches in the pot are grass green, just a bright purple red.
And the vitality of this purple leech is amazing, usually leeches are slowly wriggling, but it is like a vigorous skin shrimp, jumping around in the clip, it is hard to believe that this is a leech.
"This is a blood leech, which can preserve blood for a long time and is a very useful witchcraft material. The true dragon's blood should be in this purple belly. The Grand Wizard whispered beside the dragon spirit.
Long Gu took the purple leech, put it in the middle of the wooden pier, and gently pressed it to make it unable to move.
The wooden pier was made of a whole trunk, the rings were clearly visible, and the core of the tree was bright red. The surface is unusually smooth, as if coated with a layer of wax, and the purple leech is in the center of the growth ring.
I saw that the purple leech moved for a while, and suddenly its body shrank into a ball, and then slowly spit out a wisp of purple blood from its mouth.
It was accompanied by a strong fragrance similar to that of sand date flowers, which was also mixed with a bloody smell, and the strong sweet and greasy taste made people's minds dizzy.
The purple blood accumulated more and more, and finally condensed into a blood bead the size of a broad bean, which was brilliant and rippling, crystal clear, shining with magnificent brilliance, and the smell of strong fragrance also filled the entire temple.
"True Dragon's Blood!"
The Great Wizard's eyes lit up, staring at the drop of purple blood, and muttering in his mouth, "True Dragon Blood!" Sure enough, it is worthy of the blood of the gods, and this little drop alone contains majestic divine power! ”
"Is it the blood of a real dragon?" The dragon spirit wondered.
"That's right, this is the third time I've seen it, and I'm sure it's true dragon blood."
"True dragon's blood! How did they get it? ”
"I don't know the details, I only know that it was obtained by the first generation of dragon girls, and it is precisely because of this drop of true dragon blood in her hand that she has the ability to summon the dragon god."
"Hehehe." The Great Wizard smiled with a meaningful smile on his face: "The blood of the true dragon is the foundation of their dragon maiden lineage, and through this treasure, they can communicate smoothly with the dragon god." ”
"It's a pity that I don't know what happened, the last few generations of dragon girls seem to be unable to control the true dragon blood, which has led to the rapid decline of their lineage."
"I once told a few dragon girls that I would help them solve their problems, but they were more stubborn than the other, and they didn't want outsiders to interfere in the affairs of their dragon temple."
"Hmph, if I had been allowed to make a move earlier, with my crow skills, I would have found the problem. It's a pity that these mothers-in-law would rather die than let others come into contact with the true dragon blood, it's really hateful! ”
Long Jing said: "Didn't they let you see it?" ”
The Great Wizard shook his head and said, "What's the use of just looking at it?" You'd better take it back to me and study it for a few months. ”
"......" The dragon spirit was speechless, even he could see that this old witch crow coveted the true dragon blood, not to mention the sacrifice of the dragon temple, it was strange to be able to give it to you.
When the two of them whispered, the leech vomited out the purple blood, and without the true dragon blood, it turned back to the appearance of a grass-green, slow-moving ordinary leech.
Seeing this, Long Gu took away the leech, and Long Po looked at Xiao Zhu and Xiao Nai, and said with a serious expression: "If the true dragon blood is used once, it will take a long time to replenish the consumed divine power." No matter who the true dragon god chooses, you all have to be dragon girls with peace of mind, and you must no longer play childish, understand? ”
"Got it!" The two girls nodded solemnly.
"Then put your finger on it."
Xiao Zhu closed his eyes and prayed for a while, put a finger on the edge of the stump, Xiao Nai stared nervously, and the outstretched finger trembled and pressed to the other side.
As soon as their fingers touched the stump, they saw that the drop of true dragon blood began to shake, and suddenly dispersed, turning into a stream of blood, heading straight for Xiao Sun's fingers.
"How...... Possible!? The dragon spirit was shocked by the sight before him, and his jaw dropped to the ground.
"Whew! Not me. Xiao Nai let out a long breath, Long Gu and Long Po glanced at each other with a smile on their faces, and Xiao Zhu looked lost.
"That's it!" Seeing that the real dragon's blood was about to touch Xiao Sun's finger like a blood worm, Long Po suddenly made a sound and dragged her hand away, and the 'blood worm' had no target, and retracted back into blood beads.
"Hahaha." Long Po smiled happily: "Little bamboo shoot, this is the second time that the true dragon god has chosen you, don't resist anymore, you are destined to be a dragon girl." ”
With a relaxed face, Long Gu let the leech suck the true dragon blood away again, and put it back into the clay pot.
The dragon spirit looked at the purple leeches swimming quickly in the water, and finally understood the great wizard's curiosity about unknown things, which really tickled people's hearts.
However, he also knew that the third girl would not let him touch the true dragon's blood, so he didn't want to be bored, retreated to the second, and asked, "How many people, can I watch this pottery retort now?"
Long Po was in a happy mood and said with a smile: "Long Zi, please feel free to watch, as long as you don't touch it." ”
"Thank you Long Po, I will never touch it."
The dragon spirit walked over, lying on the reed mat and carefully looking at the clay pot, the rough texture is only slightly better than the red clay flower pot, and it looks like an inferior product fired at low temperature.
The image of two tigers chasing a bighorn deer is engraved in a circle on the jar, and the picture is equally crude, and the depiction of different shades can be clearly seen.
Just such an ugly and poorly painted clay pot - to be precise, a clay pot - is actually the only treasure of the Dragon Zebu!
"You say this clay pot...... The pottery retort was brought by your ancestors, not made by the Longze people themselves? ”
"Exactly." Long Po said regretfully: "It was brought by the ancestors from the lost land, but unfortunately this skill was lost, and our descendants no longer know how to make pottery." ”
"I see." The dragon spirit understood.
It seems that the ancestors of the Ryuzawa tribe had only just discovered a little pottery-making technology, and they were destroyed by foreign civilizations, so that after their descendants fled to the jungle, they did not know how to make pottery at all.
Although humans have a long history of making pottery, pottery is not as easy to make as you think.
It was certainly easy for later generations to make pottery with known knowledge, but it was by no means so easy for the ancients who had no concept at all. Every technological advancement in this era requires hundreds of experiences to accumulate.
In addition, the Ryuzawa tribe was very skilled in making stoneware, wood, and weaving utensils, and to a certain extent, it replaced the function of pottery, so they never had the motivation to invent pottery.
Therefore, this clay pot is only regarded as a rare object, and no one pays attention to its utility as a truly valuable thing.
Long Jing looked at the clay pot, wondering in his heart when to start making pottery, and suddenly there was a splash of water in the pot, and he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.
He thought it was water and didn't care, but the four women covered their faces with their hands as if they had seen a ghost, and screamed in horror: "Ah!! ”
