Chapter 60: The House of the Candle Dragon

I and I were about to go back, but the serpent refused to go and followed us to the entrance of the cave. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 I patted it on the neck, "I'm going home to rest now, you can go back too, this hole is a little too small to hold you." ā€

As if he understood, the snake looked into the cave, and I was about to say, "Look, I didn't lie to you, did I?" But I saw it go headlong into it.

As its body drilled in, the entire ground shook. I fell to the ground with Li, stunned.

Isn't this guy's body made of meat? Are the scales on its body harder than rocks?

After a rumble, the tremors gradually stopped, and he said with a sad face: "My home won't be ruined by it, right?"

I reassured him, "It's okay, it's just helping us build roads." ā€

As I was talking, I saw a big head peeking out of the hole, and the snake was spitting out a letter and looking at me.

I was so surprised that my divine skill could read the slightest hint of merit in its waveless eyes.

Hey? What do you mean? Are you here to take me on an inspection?

I pulled away and stood up and walked over, and the serpent didn't go down, just stared at me. I guess you're plugging the hole for me to get down?

I was trying to persuade it to give way, but I didn't want it to put its head on my feet.

What do you mean? Do you still want to be my mount and carry me?

Then wouldn't I make a lot of money, and a meal of meat in exchange for a divine beast as a horse to ride?

But it was really inviting, so I tried to step on its head, and it put its head on me, and led me all the way down to the hole.

He went down to the bottom of the cave and saw the rubble in that place, and he cried at that time, and a big tear fell.

I went over and put my arm around his shoulders and said, "It really ruined my home."

I patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "It's okay, just take the gravel away, just clean it up, it's the same as before." I want to open a little, at least, it's much more convenient for us to go up and down than before, isn't it?"

"Hmm." Li nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Why do I think you seem to have grown up, but I am like a child?"

I tilted my head and got serious, "This is not called growing up, this is called being responsible." I already had, but you didn't find out. ā€

As we spoke, the serpent came up and squeezed its head between us and looked at me.

I noddding its nose in annoyance, "It's all your doing!"

It replied by spitting out two letters.

I patted it, "Release, I'm going to sleep, I'll clean you up later." ā€

This guy is absolutely very wise, and when he hears me say this, he will immediately release me. I stretched my waist: "Leave, I'm sleepy, let's rest first, and then I will collect it when I wake up."

Pick up. ā€

He nodded and plunged into the water.

The serpent watched me climb up the cave, and then coiled around a few times, buried his head in it, and stopped. ā€

Nestled in the cave, I didn't feel sleepy, I was awake.

I'm finding things really interesting.

This is Mt. Aomine, absolutely. But there is no Shenlong Temple on the mountain, which is strange.

I clearly remember the legend of the Shenryuji Temple told by the abbot. The abbot said that the person who built the Shenlong Temple was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old monk, and isn't my current appearance exactly seventeen or eighteen years old?

And since I've been here, everything that has happened seems to be very much in line with the legend. Is it a thousand years ago? Could it be that I am the little monk who built the Shenlong Temple?

I was very annoyed at this time, why did I forget to ask the abbot and the little monk in the first place? Why didn't the abbot mention this stubble?

If I am going back in time, then where is the one in the past?

If the past me and the present me are the same person, then doesn't this time become a ring, the beginning and the end meet?

I built the Shenlong Temple myself, and after a thousand years, the monks of the Shenlong Temple saved me again, and then thirteen years after saving me, I went back to the temple a thousand years ago and built the Shenlong Temple.

I'm so dizzy, there must be something wrong that caused the confusion of time and space.

If I were to go back a thousand years, what would it take to do so?

There is a question that I was very confused about when the abbot told the story, that is, where did the name of Shenlong Temple come from, and why did the little monk think of such a name.

Now, when I saw this big snake, I guessed a few points, and eighty percent of them were related to this snake.

I haven't forgotten the matter of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", this snake is so special and different, maybe it is the candle dragon mentioned in the book.

In this way, it seems that the name of the temple has a provenance. Only, why is it named after it?

Were the two strange dreams I had in the temple real or were they really dreams?

How could you see the candle dragon in your dream? And the butterflies, which seemed to be leading me down the path.

Is this my fate? Or am I in a dream right now?

There is also Li, those butterflies can't see him, but the candle dragon can clearly see, is this candle dragon like me, can see ghosts?

I couldn't figure it out, I just felt that my head was bigger.

Forget it, whatever! Let's talk about it now.

Thinking about it like this, I was relaxed, and I fell asleep after a while.

I don't know how long I slept, until something soft swept around my face, tickling me, and I woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a pair of huge cross-eyed eyes facing me, and a big tongue with a fork was going in and out of that big mouth.

Heh, this guy came to call the bed so early, it's quite clingy.

I yawned and patted it on the head.

The snake is expressionless, but I feel that it is happy.

It was stuck at the entrance of the hole and stared at me, and it wouldn't get out of the way.

Hey, this big pet, if only he could talk and communicate like Li.

I sat cross-legged in the cave, thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you have a name?"

It tilted its head, as if thinking.

I waited curiously to see how it would react to me.

Originally, it didn't hold out much hope, but it didn't expect it to nod.

I was overjoyed, "Then let me ask you, are you a candle dragon?"

This time it nodded quickly.

"Where are you from? Do you live in the mountains?"

It nodded again.

Why does it always nod its head, it can't be that it can't shake its head, right?

To verify that it really understood me, I made a request, "Can you take me to your house?"

I didn't expect that guy to really understand, and actually nodded again.

But this time, when it nodded, it gave way to the hole. But as soon as he turned around, he gave me the back of his neck and opened the crown of flesh.

Hey? What does that mean? You don't want me to sit on it, do you?
