Chapter 2: The Land of the Dragon's Sleep
Cedar thought that they should start training after the bad master-apprentice meeting, but he didn't expect He Yanfang to smile so easily and say, "Let's go play."
"Really, going to play with a bunch of weirdos?" Harden hasn't forgiven Dimi for his attitude - of course, with his stingy personality, it's definitely not easy to forgive someone.
"Okay, I can take this opportunity to bond with the teachers. "Cedar is looking forward to it, after all, it's going to play with idols.
"Don't prepare, don't you go to the White Dragon Qunqiu? Don't forget that it's the territory of the Emperor Shantong in the city, if you want anything, just shout to the rock, and the seniors of Shantong will bring it immediately, that's what Teacher Jean said. Harden said lightly.
β...... Yama Tong seniors are really miserable......"
"Don't waste your compassion, it's those of us who are going to be taught by the weirdos!" Harden sighed bitterly, "Anyway, let's go have fun......
ββΒ·ββ
"Yo, explore!" cried Ivan as he stepped on the moss-covered rocks.
"Actually, to be precise, accompany the emperor and Meng Jin to recuperate," He Yanfang corrected with a smile, "Of course, we can also have some fun by the way." β
"I'm not going to say thank you for your playful posture. Sikong Ruhuang said coldly, just looking at his current appearance, there was no way to imagine that he was such a weak medicine jar.
"I really miss it, it's been a long time......" Helping his sunglasses, Carlos took pictures around, "Is it the first time the imps have come to play?"
"yes, I didn't have any free time before. Harden climbed the rock, and suddenly splashed Cedar in the face with his hand.
"This is Dingming Mountain, the place where the filial piety king Ding is sealed. Carlos said lightly.
Cedar, who was complaining to Harden, widened his eyes: "Filial piety Wang Ding ......"
"Yes, investigating it is also one of the purposes of our visit, then again......" Jean said, and suddenly kicked at He Yanfang, who was walking in front, "Give me down, brother!"
"Less. He Yanfang grabbed his feet and threw him out as soon as he returned his hand, and under the surprised gaze of the cedars, Jean rolled lightly and landed on the slippery stream rocks.
"Fifteen minutes or so further on, Flying Dragon Pond Waterfall!" Carlos, who was extremely familiar with the terrain, said in a proud tone, but he was immediately splashed with water by Harden and the others.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to splash you. Seeing that Carlos is the type with low offensive power, Harden bullied him openly.
"How can this be reasonable!I'm 'getting a bird's feather' Carlos Lu is also easy to bully!" The big back was wet with water and scattered on his forehead, Carlos stretched out his hand to cover his face in a panic, "Brothers, cut him!"
"I can't beat it. Jean simply refused.
"What's there to worry about playing with the kids, you're incompetent. He Yanfang smiled and said ruthless words.
"Why! Dead imp wants to respect the elders, do you know!" Carlos continued to dodge the children's attacks.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, because only you can bully!" Ivan laughed and continued to splash him.
"Why? Don't you dare to splash Lao He, forget it, why don't you splash Jean? Am I not handsome enough! And Dimisan, Huangjun, and Mengjin brothers......" Carlos grumbled aggrievedly, looking back at Dimi, who was lagging behind, and was speechless to find that a serious golden dragon boy had used the light magic shield with extreme caution.
And Sikong Ruhuang and Meng Jin, the two patients, are discussing selflessly-
"Uh...... What kind of medicine are you using?"
"I used a little red calamus ......" (Note 1)
"Purple calamus, it's not easy......
"And how did you treat it last time? You seem to have used a new treatment?"
"It's nothing, it's just a sulfur bath......"
"Okay, blame me for being too normal......" Sighing in resignation, Carlos looked like a martyr and spread his arms, "Come on! I'm not afraid!"
"Who said you're normal...... He Yanfang couldn't stand it and picked up a small stone and hit him on the knee, and unsurprisingly watched him scream and fall on his back in the stream, splashing a huge splash.
In the midst of laughter, Selina smiled and looked at Jean and He Yanfang.
"Is this what they look like in the truest way, I have never seen Mr. Jean smile so relaxed, and so has Mr. He. β
Ataya nodded: "Because it's a dead friend." β
Hearing the rumbling sound of water in the distance, they walked up the verdant forest path, and the water rushing down the stream stone next to them became more and more turbulent, forming a pure white curtain of pearls and jade.
"The air is so good, it's really the best place to retreat. The emperor sighed.
"If you stay here for a summer, your body should recover a lot," Jean said, looking back, "it's been a hard job for Evelyn." β
"Evelyn is...... Commander-in-Chief of the Primordial Branch?" Cedar asked him.
"Ah, the Purple Sage 'Thunder Lamenter', is considered the most charismatic woman of the Heavenly Punishers, but her troubles are also proportional to her beauty, and it may be more difficult to find her than to find ancient ruins. Jean glanced at Sikong sympathetically.
"Teacher Sikong is a sage adjutant, isn't it? Cedar sincerely thanked.
"Don't look at me like this, I'm also a sage adjutant, ahahaha!" Carlos stroked his hair angrily, "The black sage adjutant of the Xuanshi Branch, Carlos Lu Shenshang!"
"What's so good about this, I'm also a sage adjutant, and besides, you're the weakest among adjutants. Jean couldn't help but splash him with cold water.
"Hey, don't demolish me!" Carlos grumbled as he walked back in front, taking a deep breath as he walked up the platform, "It's here!"
As soon as they walk on the high platform, they will be surrounded by pearl-colored mist, and they will immediately feel the freshness and coolness. In front of them, the Flying Dragon Pond Waterfall cascades down, stirring up droplets in the sky in the blue pool.
"It's so comfortable!" Cedar ran to the edge of the pool, excitedly spreading her hands.
The Flying Dragon Pool in front of them was misty due to the layers of water waves, and the thick blue water was as smooth as jade. They sat down on the shore and felt the coolness of the mountains.
"It's still so peaceful, Xiao Wang Ding's seal should be well maintained, right?" said Carlos.
"Well, that should shut those guys, right? It has nothing to do with the Beastmaster Ding. Sikong Ruhuang stared at the waterfall with a serious expression, faintly revealing a sense of disgust.
"The key is 'flower blossoming', it's not so easy to stop their speculation. Jean shook his head slightly.
β...... Excuse me, is there anything bad about the Beastmaster Ding?" Cedar interjected suspiciously.
"Ah, do you already know about the Beastmaster Ding?" Carlos looked at them, "The Great Killing Weapon that has been successfully sacrificed by sacrificing the nine Demon Kings of the Yan Ying Academy. β
"You know, what's wrong?' about 'the dead'?" Harden asked him rhetorically, "and also speaking of the Flower Blossom Courtyard, that's where the last tragedy happened, right?"
"Yes, everyone in the courtyard thinks that the seal has failed and let the souls haunt it, and the flower blossom courtyard is on the cliff behind here, so it is inevitable to be suspicious. Carlos shrugged.
"So we can only come and see the situation, let the bad rumors exist for so many years, and it should also be stopped," Jean looked at He Yanfang, "right?"
He Yanfang nodded, his tone helpless: "If you don't liquidate the 'difference of the dead', you won't be able to really settle down through the courtyard." β
"Beastmaster Ding...... Is there really such a thing?" said Ivan, with uncertainty in his tone.
"We don't think it's possible. But after all, this is a matter of the Passage Courtyard, and our words are not convincing," Jean smiled bitterly, "Komatsu, you have to take over the affairs of the Passage Courtyard slowly, and you must face the matter of the deceased." β
"Huh, but...... No, I dreamed of the Nine Evil Kings of Yan Ying Courtyard, and I'm not sure if this is true or not......" Cedar is obviously lacking in confidence.
"It's more likely to use legends to commit crimes, right?" Harden easily dismissed his claim, "It's possible that what you're seeing is an illusion, so it's better to be suspicious first." β
"Anyway, Yan Ying's nine murders are really tricky, death is not the end, it's really troublesome. Carlos sighed.
"That's right......" He Yanfang looked down at the water of the blue pool with emotion, "The souls of those guys are buried here, I have to admit that they are powerful opponents, even after so long, they can still call the wind and rain......
Jean looked at him and smiled slightly bitterly: "That's the case, it's the blood of the dragon, right......?"
"Then do you want to go to the Flower Blossom Courtyard to have a look?" Ataya asked them.
"We don't have the right to explore, after all, the Passage Courtyard and the Heavenly Punisher are not the same organization, so we can't intervene at will," He Yanfang shook his head, "We can go up and investigate a little outside the Huakai Courtyard." β
"It's boring. Harden was forthright about his thoughts.
"It's not going to be fun," Jean patted him on the shoulder, "let's go." β
They continued to delve deeper into the sealed forbidden land, the peaceful white dragon hills were indeed like a sleeping dragon, and they were going deeper and deeper into the far and darker places of the dragon's belly, where the secrets of the dead were waiting to be uncovered and then doomed.
