Chapter 125: Panzong recognizes his mother
Coming to the south side of the valley, Panzong looked at the smooth mountain wall and said blankly: "Fourth, where is there a cave here?"
I motioned for him to silence him, and said, "Don't forget, all the dragons here are descendants of the Flying Dragons, and since they have wings, they should naturally live in the air. Your mother is in a cave halfway up the mountain, and the mountain here is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, so of course you can't see it from here, so let's go up. ”
After making sure that there was no danger around, I jumped up the mountain wall with Panzong.
I hung my body halfway up the mountain in the same way as when I climbed the mountain, and looked around, and according to what Jin Gechan Biyin said during the day, the eldest brother's mother should live in this vicinity.
There were many weeds and small trees growing in the crevices in the mountain wall, blocking my view and making it impossible for me to see clearly.
Panzong's body is attached to the stone wall, and since he is a hydra, he can secrete mucus from his conjured hands and feet to stick to the mountain wall and fix his body, which looks much easier than me.
Panzong said in a low voice: "Fourth, look, isn't that one over there?"
I looked in the direction of his finger, and there was a pair of bushes not far from our lower left, and it was dark over there, it seemed to be a cave, and I stretched out my thumb to Panzong, pointed to the cave, and quietly floated over.
Brother Panzong's judgment was correct, it was a dark cave, but it was difficult to find because it was all covered by weeds and shrubs.
The entrance to the cave is an irregular circle, with a diameter of about two meters, which is not large.
Panzong seemed to be a little nervous, standing there with his fists clenched tightly, and I said, "Big brother, there is such a cave here, it should be here." ”
Mr. Pan nodded and said, "Fourth, I didn't expect my mother to live in such a remote corner away from the ethnic group, alas, it must be because of my father." ”
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't sigh, let's go quickly, time is pressing, don't you want to talk to your aunt for a while? With that, I pulled him inside.
The terrain of the cave is all the way down, and as we advance, the two-meter-diameter cave grows larger and larger, and by the time we walk out about a hundred meters, the diameter has reached four meters.
I sent a voice to Pan Zongdao: "Big brother, the place where your mother lives is probably the largest room in the Dragon Clan, it is more than a hundred meters away, and I haven't found anything yet." ”
At this moment, a small sound suddenly came from my ears, and I tried to gather my ears, but I still couldn't hear clearly.
I walked ahead and kept moving towards the voice, and the path inside the cave began to meander and clearer with each turn.
After walking for a long time, our eyes lit up, there seemed to be luminous minerals such as philosopher's stones in front of us, and the sound was finally completely clear, Panzong and I stopped and listened to the sound inside.
A gentle voice said, "Xiao Xin, it's too late, you should go back and rest." ”
Another voice said coquettishly: "No, Aunt Bai, tell me about what you did outside before." Xiao Xin doesn't want to go back tonight, so you can let me stay here with you, okay?"
The gentle voice revealed a little helplessness: "Alas, you child. Well, in that case, you can stay here today. ”
Xiao Xin said happily: "Great, Aunt Bai, thank you." Auntie, I don't know why, but every time I see you, I feel so kind, as if you are my mother. Xiao Xin's voice was a little crying, as if she remembered some unhappy past.
"Silly boy, don't be sad, although we don't know who your parents are, but in our Dragon Valley, everyone loves you very much, loves you, we are all your parents!
This Aunt Bai should be Bai Rui, the mother of Panzong's eldest brother, and the one called Xiao Xin, who has a crisp voice, doesn't know who it is.
Xiao Xin seemed to be a child, and soon turned from sadness to joy, and said: "Okay, okay, Auntie, tell me quickly, Xiao Xin has never been out of the valley! Those grandfathers and grandmothers always don't let me go out, Xiao Xin is so yearning for the outside world." ”
I turned my head to look at Panzong, and he sent me a voice and said, "Wait a minute, I want to hear what my mother has to say." ”
Panzong's body, like his voice, trembled a little, and he stood there stunned with a dull gaze. It only takes a corner to see his mother, whom he hasn't seen in decades, and it's no wonder he's so excited.
I put my arm around his shoulders and continued to listen to the conversation.
Bai Rui sighed and said, "The outside world may not be good. When my aunt was as old as you, she was also very yearning for the outside world like you, and one day, I secretly ran out of the valley, wanting to go around the valley and feel what the different air was like. That's when I met him. ”
Xiao Xin asked, "Who is he?"
After a long time, Bai Rui said: "He is the magic star in my life, he is the one who changed my life, until now, I can still see him for the first time in front of my eyes at any time." When I met him, he was human, with a smile on his face all the time. He was very surprised to see me at that time, and since we dragons and humans have always had a good relationship, I didn't mind too much. Like you, when I was two hundred years old, I learned the language of human beings with the help of the Dragon King, and when I saw a stranger for the first time, I unconsciously started talking to him. He was about my age, but I couldn't tell from the way he looked. At that time, I was so stupid, how could a human being still so young at the age of more than 200 years? Unless, he had the same strength as Tianyun, but until now, there was only one Tianyun on the mainland. ”
Xiao Xin seemed to be a little anxious: "Auntie, don't talk about that Tianyun, what happened to you and that demon star?"
Bai Rui's voice became ethereal, and it seemed that the whole person was immersed in the original atmosphere: "The first few days I was with him were very lively, and he would often tell me some interesting things outside, so I sneaked out of the Dragon Valley every day to meet him. On the tenth day of our acquaintance, the demon star told me that he liked me and wanted to marry me. I was stunned. I asked him, I am a dragon, you are a human, how can we be together? The demon star told me that he was not a human, but a hydra that had been practicing for two hundred years. As soon as I heard that he was a hydra, I was immediately filled with hostility. Because, our dragon clan has always been spreading, if the hydra wants to continue the offspring, it must find the female surname of our dragon clan as a wife. But their age is generally only five or six hundred years old, how can our dragon girl marry them and be happy for a lifetime? What's more, the appearance is completely different, so we can't accept the hydra at all, so the hydra clan has relied on force for generations to find a way to kidnap our clansmen and snatch them back to be wives. Speaking of which, the hydra can also be regarded as notorious in the eyes of our dragon clan. So, I flatly rejected him at that time, and told him that I would never see him again in the future, and asked him to leave the vicinity of Ryugu as soon as possible. ”
"Did he say yes?"
Bai Rui smiled bitterly and said, "No." He told me that he really loved me, that he hoped that I would give him a chance, and that he was willing to do everything for me in order to show his sincerity to me. ”
Xiao Xin said: "In that case, this hydra is also very affectionate." ”
Bai Rui sighed again and said, "I didn't really understand this truth until many years later, but the bad feeling for Hydra at that time had already taken root in my heart. I ignored him, went back to Ryugu, and told my father about it. When my father heard that the hydra was going to attack me, he was furious, and led his people to hunt him down in the mountains, and finally surrounded him on a dangerous peak. Although his skills are not weak, how can he compare with his father, who was seriously injured by his father. His father, with good intentions, did not kill him on the spot, but let him go, and warned him not to set foot within a hundred miles of the Dragon Valley again, and he left with a sense of hatred. ”
Xiao Xin said in surprise: "Is this the end?"
Bai Rui said: "If it ends like this, how can I still be in such pain as I am now." A year after his father seriously injured him, he recovered from his injuries and dived back again. At that time, I had almost forgotten about him, and many young men of my clan about my age began to pursue me, but none of them could touch my heart, and it was very boring for me to go back and forth between them every day. That day, I was tired from playing and just wanted to go home to sleep, when suddenly, it was dark in front of me, and I smelled a sweet scent, and I didn't know anything. When I woke up, I found myself in an unknown cave, and he, the star, was sitting next to me. I was furious and asked him what he wanted to do. He said that he really liked me and hoped that I could fulfill him. Of course I wouldn't promise him, but I couldn't beat him, so I had to be imprisoned there by him. The cave was huge, about the same as the one I live in now. I had been hoping that my father would bring someone to save me, but after a month, I was disappointed and had not heard from my father at all. He was very good to me, taking care of me every day, I hated him very much at that time, hated him for ruining my life, making a big fuss every day, his temper was really good, no matter how I made trouble, even beating him and scolding him, he never returned the mouth. ”
I found that Brother Panzong's face was already full of tears, and he listened motionlessly, with a sad look in his eyes.
Bai Rui paused and continued: "Half a year later, my temper was almost worn out, one day, he suddenly knelt in front of me and begged me to marry him, of course I would not agree, I scolded him again and beat him. This time, he finally resisted, he transformed into the body of the hydra, crushing me under him, at that time he said a word to me, he said, in order to let the hydra vein can reproduce on the mainland, I'm sorry, my dear. His expression seemed painful and helpless. I looked at him stunned, but he ......"
Xiao Xin hurriedly said, "What happened to him?"
Bai Rui sighed: "He forcibly annihilated me and seized my virginity. My strength could not compete with him, and although his movements were gentle, the hatred in my heart swelled up like a monstrous wave. From then on, he was by my side every day and did not violate me again, until I left him later, and we only had that intimate contact. It didn't take long for me to find out that I actually had his flesh and blood, and compared with our dragon clan, Hydra took longer to give birth, and it took three hundred years to conceive before the next generation could be successfully born.
"I was in a lot of pain, I had that big bad child, I wanted to abuse myself every day, to beat that child, but I couldn't do it at all, he was by my side every day, always watching me, not letting me go too far. As time went on, I got used to living with him, and when he saw that I was not so repulsive about him, he took me on a tour of the nearby mountains, and on several occasions I tried to escape, but without success.
"He was the most brilliant talent of the Hydra lineage, and he should have lived to be over seven hundred years old, but during the time he was with me, he hardly took a break for months, and now that I think about it, his subsequent serious illness was completely the root of the illness left over from that time.
"In the last hundred years of our relationship, I was surprised to find that I no longer hated him, and I liked this hydra who cared for me a little, and I tried to accept him, but he seemed to be very afraid of me, and never took a step beyond the thunder pool, and always guarded me by my side.
"Finally, in the 312th year of my pregnancy, I successfully gave birth to a son, which was our son, and when the son was born, I suddenly realized that the hydra was not so ugly. The birth of the child has strengthened our relationship a little, and although I still ignore him, I have no intention of leaving him.
"He never bothered me to raise the child, everything was taken care of by him, and when the child was twenty years old, I could no longer bear the feelings for him, and I wanted to tell him what I thought in my heart, but he fell ill, and the illness came very quickly, and in only a few days, his body was already much weaker.
"On a cloudy day, he let the child go out to play by himself, and only the two of us were alone, and he said to me, let me go back to our Dragon Valley, he is almost dying, let me find someone who loves me to marry. But how did he know that we dragons can only marry once in their lives, and I have long regarded him as my husband, I said to him, I will not leave, I will always take care of him.
He was very happy at that time, and seemed to be much better, and he said that he had finally waited for this day, and a big man actually hugged me and cried bitterly. He cried for a long time before he stopped, and he said to me, let me go home and see my father first, and if my father is okay, let me come back. I also wanted to go back to our Dragon Valley, to come back to see my father, to see my former partner, I was happy at the time, but I didn't pay attention to his expression.
On the day I left, his eyes were full of nostalgia, I was so stupid, why didn't I see through his heart? Our son also said to me, Mother, you have to come back quickly, my father and I are waiting for you. I was carried away by the joy of returning home and left them like that, and when I returned to Ryuko, my father was naturally very happy.
"I told my father about me and him, but he was furious and insisted that I not be allowed to return to him, and he said that none of the Hydras were good things, and that I should be separated from him, and that my father would help me find a dragon husband. Xiao Xin, Auntie is so stupid. ”
Bai Rui's voice choked: "Only when you lose it, do you know how to cherish it." Since I was separated from him, I realized how important he was to me, his gentle and considerate smile, his meticulous care, and his silly look always haunted me. I found out that I was really in love with him, and I had to go back, I had to go back to him. So I threatened to die, and finally got my father's consent to let me leave Ryugu and go back to the cave, but when I went back, there was nothing, he was gone, the child ...... Gone, only an empty cave remains. On the stone wall of the cave, there are a few words engraved by him, and he said in the message that the most wrong thing he did in his life was to force me. He truly loves me, and hopes that I will be happy in the future and find a good home, and he will die soon, and he does not want me to see his death. His signature is, love you forever, vile and shameless Hydra stay. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Rui couldn't cry anymore, and Xiao Xin, who listened to her, also accompanied her to keep sobbing.
My tears have flowed out unconsciously, Panzong put his head against the stone wall on the side, he could no longer bear the sadness in his heart, and cried loudly.
None of us expected that his mother was not ruthless to his father, and that her feelings were so deep.
For a moment, the cave was filled with an atmosphere of sadness.
Bai Rui's crying voice sounded: "Who is it?"
I wiped the tears from my face and pulled Panzong step by step towards the deepest part of the cave.
Turning a corner, a huge natural stone chamber appeared in front of us, the walls of the stone chamber were inlaid with many unknown minerals, emitting a soft light, and at the top of the stone chamber, some white stalactites hung upside down, and under the reflection of the light, the whole stone chamber was rendered extremely beautifully.
The floor of the stone chamber was flat, and in the center was a white dragon, her body was not very large, it looked less than ten zhang, her white scales were constantly glittering, and the huge dragon head was looking at us with tears.
Next to her, there was a green dragon, smaller than her body, it should be Xiao Xin.
Xiao Xin's green scales shimmered with fluorescent color, as if the whole body was made of jadeite, and her big eyes looked at us in surprise, with a curious look, and on her head, there were two curved horns, which looked very cute.
Bai Rui's angry voice broke the silence: "You, who are you, why did you come here?"
Panzong walked towards Bai Rui step by step, I was afraid that he would lose, so I hurriedly followed him.
Panzong walked to ten meters in front of Bai Rui and stopped, fell to his knees with a thud, and cried bitterly: "Mother, it's me, I'm your son." ”
Bai Rui was stunned, Xiao Xin was also stunned, their eyes were focused on Panzong, and the atmosphere in the cave suddenly became weird.
Bai Rui said in a trembling voice: "You, what are you talking about, you ...... You, no...... No way, I must be dreaming. ”
I sighed and said, "Aunt Bai, you are not dreaming, he is your biological son, a descendant of you and that demon star, his name is Panzong." Big brother, you still show your original identity. In this way, Aunt Bai can accept your identity. ”
My words reminded Panzong, and he stood up, choked and chanted, "Water, fire, earth, and wind, the purest energy that exists in nature, please ignite the hope in my heart, awaken, sleeping bloodline of the Serpent King." ”
With the chanting of the incantation, he rolled to the ground, turning into a snake body much larger than Bai Rui, Panzong coiled his body, only nine big heads were exposed, and the poisonous gas snake head in the center said: "Mother, it's really me." ”
Bai Rui's body entrenched there moved, she moved the dragon claw, leaned over to Panzong's side, and said stupidly: "You, are you really my son?"
Panzong's nine big heads wept at the same time: "Yes, mother, for decades, your appearance has not changed at all, I don't know how many times I have thought about you in my dreams, today, I finally see you again, mother, are you okay?"
Bai Rui's body was wrapped around violently, and the dragon body wrapped Pan Zong tightly, crying: "Child, it's really you, it's really you, mother finally sees you again." The mother and son immediately hugged their heads and cried.
Xiao Xin on the side woke up from the surprise just now, walked to Panzong's side with a curious look in her eyes, and said to Bai Rui: "Aunt Bai, is he your son Hydra?"
Bai Rui nodded and said, "Yes, he is my son." Son, you are almost exactly the same as your father, and your mother is sorry for you! You must have suffered a lot over the years, so let your mother take a good look. ”
Bai Rui's huge dragon eyes were full of sadness, and I looked carefully at every snake head of Panzong, and even I could feel the strong maternal love emanating from her body even when I was standing on the side.
A mother's love is the greatest love in the world, and nothing compares to her selflessness.
I comforted them and said, "Big brother, the reunion of your mother and son is a happy event, be happy." ”
Panzong nodded, and said to Bai Rui: "Mother, let me introduce you, he is my sworn brother Lei Xiang." I was able to find you thanks to my good brother. ”
Bai Rui reluctantly turned her head to me, nodded at me slightly, and I said respectfully, "Aunt Bai, hello." ”
Bai Rui Chong Panzong said: "Child, what about your father, he, is he already ......?"
Pan Zong nodded gloomily and said: "Yes, my father died half a year after you left, at the beginning, two days after you left, my father took me to move, to a big forest not far from the cave, I still remember, at that time I asked my father, when will you come back." My father replied sadly, saying that you would never come back. I cried and begged him to get you back, and my father said that he could not delay your happiness any longer. ”
Bai Rui shook his head excitedly and said, "No, he didn't delay my happiness, why is he so stupid, he is my real happiness." In the last moments of his life, I was not there for him. I, I'm damned. ”
Bai Rui shook off his body and slammed his head into the stone wall next to him.
Panzong was startled, the blue water system snake shook its head, and a layer of water system enchantment was placed on the stone wall to block Bai Rui's impact: "Mother, what are you doing here, don't do this." ”
Bai Rui seemed to have suddenly aged for decades, slumped to the ground, and said faintly: "During the time I was with your father, I never treated him well, he was always taking care of me, pituring me, and guarding me. I have never done my duty as a wife to serve him for a day, and his time with me has been too hard. He was so good to me, but I always resented him, I ......"
Panzong swung his body, wrapped his arms around his mother, and said, "Mother, don't say that, my father has never hated you, and he said to me when he was dying that the thing he regrets most in his life is the harm he caused to you in the first place." However, the hundreds of years he spent with you were his happiest time. He is very happy every day when he sees you. ”
Bai Rui hugged Panzong's body with his dragon claws and cried loudly: "You are so stupid, why are you so stupid, why are you so good to someone who doesn't love you." Why, why?"
Her voice was like a cry, so that Xiao Xin and I were infected by her grief, and my heart was extremely depressed, as if there was a big stone pressing on my heart, and it was unspeakably uncomfortable.
After a long time, Bai Rui's crying stopped, and she gradually regained her composure: "Child, you are also more than a hundred years old this year, your mother has never taken good care of you, do you hate me?"
Panzong shook his head and said: "No, I have never hated you, it was indeed my father's fault at the beginning, he should not hurt you because of the inheritance of our race, this, I have the same idea as my father before he died." You are just a victim, no matter what you do to us, we will not hate you, and my father and I have nothing but regret for you. ”
Bai Rui said bitterly: "I really shouldn't have left you in the first place, if I hadn't left, maybe it wouldn't be like this now, I really want to go back to the past, even if I let me take care of your father wholeheartedly for a day!"
The air became heavy again, Panzong continued to comfort his mother, and it took a long time before Bai Rui calmed down again, looked at Panzong stupidly, and said, "Child, what are you doing when you come back to Dragon Valley?"
Panzong glanced at me, and the nine snake heads turned red at the same time, Bai Rui was startled, and asked urgently, "You...... You're here to catch the dragon girl and go back to do ......"
"Nope. Panzong shook his head firmly, and said: "Mother, I swore before my father's death that even if we Hydra clan kill ourselves, we will never do that kind of thing again, I want to see you here, and I also want to try my luck to see if anyone in the dragon clan will like me and be my wife willingly." I know I'm ugly, and this kind of possible surname is very small. At the end, his expression couldn't help but darken.
Bai Rui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Panzong, your name is Panzong, right? You are a good boy, you have a kind heart like your father, and my mother is really happy to see you again." But, child, mother wants to tell you, I'm afraid your wish is indeed going to be frustrated, not to mention looks, just the length of life is different, you can't pursue the dragon family surname as a partner, and you don't want to watch your beloved stay for you for thousands of years, or follow your martyrdom. ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but rush to say: "Auntie, this is not a problem, the eldest brother's physique has changed now, he is the same as your dragon king, he has a physique that can be cultivated to the realm of leaving the earth, although we can't be sure how old he can live, but I think it shouldn't be shorter than your dragon clan, you can rest assured." ”
Bai Rui was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Zong'er, is this true?"
Panzong nodded and said, "Yes." Mother, you don't have to worry about me, no one likes me, forget it, I've already thought about it. It's nothing, since God wants me to end the Hydra line, I can't help it, just leave it to fate. With that, he broke free from his mother's embrace and changed back into human form.
Xiao Xin, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke: "Pan, Panzong, you hydra have such good hearts, you will definitely be able to find your sweetheart." ”
Panzong, who had just transformed, noticed Xiao Xin for the first time, his face suddenly turned red, and he said, "Ah, you, hello." ”
Bai Rui said: "Child, her name is Xinxin, more than a hundred years older than you, you can call her sister." ”
Panzong agreed, and said to Xinxin: "Hello, Sister Xin." ”
Xinxin climbed to Bai Rui's side and said next to Bai Rui: "Aunt Bai, your story is so touching, it turns out that Hydra is not so bad, I believe that Brother Panzong will definitely be able to find his sweetheart." ”
Panzong sighed: "I don't dare to think about this, who would like me, the notorious hydra? ”
Xinxin said: "No, I have a good impression of you, although you look different from our dragon clan, but you are really kind, and so simple." It's not too ugly, it's nine heads, it's fun! ”
I was happy in my heart, my eldest brother seemed to have some feelings for this Xinxin, why don't I ...... Thinking of this, I said, "Yes, my eldest brother is so good, if he can't even find a wife, it will be unreasonable." Miss Shin Shin, do you have any good friends to introduce to my eldest brother. ”
Panzong was taken aback by my words, his face was red all the way to his neck, and he waved his hand again and again: "No need, no need, I don't want to be rejected." ”
Xinxin grinned and said, "What are you afraid of, refuse if you refuse, you won't lose a head if you try a few more times." Say, what kind of wife do you want to find?"
I hurriedly said, "Just like Sister Xinxin, you are so beautiful." ”
Xinxin was stunned for a moment, glanced at Panzong, and did not say anything.
Panzong glared at me and said, "Fourth, don't talk nonsense. ”
I argued: "Where am I talking nonsense, Sister Xinxin is so beautiful, can't you find her as a wife?"
Panzong's face was swollen and red, and he was speechless for a while.
It was Bai Rui who broke the silence, her mood seemed to be much better, and Chong Pan Zong said: "Zong'er, how did you find here, I live here very secretly, you can find me without alarming the guards in the valley, it's very powerful!"
Pan Zong said: "It's not that I'm powerful, it's my fourth brother who is powerful, and it's he who inquired about your whereabouts." Mother, I've met my grandfather, but he doesn't seem to have a good impression of me. ”
