Chapter 214: To the Dragon Domain (3)
Tong Shaoyang and his entourage silently stared at the old man entering the inner room, which was originally where they lived, but now no one wanted to go in, looking at Nalan Rulong one by one, waiting for his arrangement.
"It's good to give him that room, anyway, we have to take turns to keep vigil tonight, just stay here for a night, and wait for tomorrow to find an inn and then have a good rest, what do you think?"
This proposal was unanimously supported, and after sending a few women to rest, Tong Shaoyang and the four of them sat around the table, drinking haode tea, while discussing Jihua after arriving in the Dragon Domain, where it was no better than other places, if you broke in rashly, maybe Zuihou didn't even know how to die.
Judging from the map, the area occupied by the Dragon Domain is not too large, but the "Imperial Atlas" records that it contains woodlands, mountains, swamps, mountains, etc., which are all available in the land-type Dragon Domain on the mainland, which invisibly adds a lot of trouble to everyone, and they have to risk getting lost and shuttling through it to find the inheritor of the Dragon Spirit God.
I looked at the map according to the atlas, and only after making sure that I couldn't study anything did I talk about family life, and Zong Hu seemed to be opened at this time, and he talked a lot, all about the ancestor and the Xiandao Pavilion.
The other three also knew the news of the ancestor's death, and they didn't say much when they saw Zong Hu like this, so they listened to him silently, and talked to themselves for nearly half an hour before they stopped and drank the tea on the table.
"We are also sad that the ancestor passed away, but you have to work hard to make yourself stronger, so that you will not live up to the trust that the ancestor has placed in you, and it will not be in vain that he has put all his life's work into your hands......"
Nalan Rulong patted Zong Hu's shoulder, walked outside alone, looked up at the sparse stars, and couldn't help but sigh. The empire he was so proud of would fall apart overnight, and the dependent monarchies would not think about how to take revenge, but they would encroach on each other, fighting to the death for the expansion of their territory, implicating so many people in displacement, and he wished to kill all the monarchs and restore peace to the world.
"Senior, do you think that our zuihou can kill the Demon Spirit God? He is one of the eight ancient spirit gods, even if he finds all the inheritors, he can't reach his level, and it feels like he is doing useless work......
Nalan Rulong's body didn't move, he just glanced at Tong Shaoyang on the side with his spare eyes, even if he had this feeling, then the others didn't have to guess and knew the result, but everyone had no choice, in order to rebuild the empire, in order to get the people out of the sea of suffering, even if there was only a slight opportunity, they had to work hard for it.
"It's man-made, even if we fail, but at least we have fought for it, and there is nothing to regret......"
After saying that, the two of them set their eyes on the dark night sky together, and their current situation was the same as this day, they couldn't see the situation behind them, and they didn't know what the future would ......
The four of them changed twice, and finally caught the dawn, and just as they wanted to wake up the women in the house, they saw the old man stretching his waist and coming out from the other side, and when he saw them looking at him, he said hello with a smile on his face, and then sat down at the table and ate breakfast.
The meal was very light, a pot of porridge and a pot of cakes, and a plate of pickles in the middle, all the ingredients were found in the kitchen of this family, and I was half-full.
After the old man finished eating, he walked to the courtyard to exercise his body, about ten minutes or so, everyone gathered together, today they will speed up the journey to the Dragon Domain, so as not to have any mistakes.
Nalan Rulong tore open the space out of thin air, and then urged everyone to hurry in, and after a while, the torn space was closed again, as if no one had come, only the teapot on the table was still steaming......
Speeding all the way, it was two days later when they came out of the space tunnel, looking at the desolation everywhere, who would have thought that this place used to be a commercial center, and there were no less than hundreds of thousands of merchants coming and going every day, but unfortunately, with the outbreak of war, this place also bore the brunt of the destruction, and now even half of the figure can not be seen.
"Let's go, find out if there is a place to live, if you count it from the map, you can reach the Dragon Domain in half a day's trip, and it will be difficult to rest after that, so today's task is to have a good rest, and other things will be talked about later......"
Nalan Rulong said as he led the group into the ruined city, and his eyes were full of the sores after the baptism of war, and he passed several streets one after another, but he did not see a complete house, which made everyone's faces more and more gloomy.
"Come with me, I'll figure out where I can live in a house......"
Xu Shiji pinched his left hand, happily drilled towards a small alley, twisted and turned around and came to the back door of a courtyard, did not pause, directly pushed the door and walked in, while Nalan Rulong and others hesitated slightly, Zuihou had to go inside one by one in Xu Shiji's urging.
I saw that their location was in the back garden of this courtyard, and from the overall structure, most of this mansion was inhabited by the city lord, but unfortunately now there is no one, and the house is idle, but it is cheaper for them.
"Don't be stupid, this mansion has reserved some rooms because of its large area, let's hurry up and pick it out, clean up and eat, I'm starving to death, old man......"
Saying that, Xu Shiji took the lead in entering the side room, and the others also picked it up, and soon settled down, Rou'er and Liu Ruyan began to make a fire to cook, and wisps of cooking smoke slowly rose, adding a trace of vitality to the entire city.
With the outbreak of war, not even a single bird or beast was found along the way, so they could only eat some coarse tea and light rice, for which Zong Hu didn't know how many times he cursed those monarchs, but what to eat or what to eat, there was no way at all.
"Old friend Xu, have you figured out how we should leave after we arrive in the Dragon Domain? Let's reveal it in advance, so that we can be mentally prepared......
Nalan Rulong moved a chair and sat next to Xu Shiji, since this old man joined the team, he completely regarded himself as an uncle, and he didn't do any work, except for eating and sleeping, the most annoying thing is that even divination is rarely used, if he wasn't hungry today, it is estimated that everyone would have to turn for half an hour.
Xu Shiji knew that he was very dissatisfied with his performance as soon as he saw Nalan Rulong's face, and immediately coughed in embarrassment, took out the turtle shell from his sleeve and shook it, and it didn't take long for the result.
"Judging from the hexagram, the person you are looking for should be in the depths of the Dragon Domain, but his whereabouts are erratic, but you will definitely see him, don't worry about this......"
After Xu Shiji finished speaking, he peeked at Nalan Rulong, and saw that his face had recovered a lot, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, reached out and took his own food and ate it in a big bite, and vaguely praised Rou'er and their craftsmanship while eating, which gradually eased the atmosphere.
Tong Shaoyang had no appetite, so he only drank some porridge and went out to walk around the courtyard, and suddenly a pair of small hands blindfolded him from behind, perhaps because he was not tall enough, his whole body was lying on his back, and his legs were tightly clamped around his waist.
Don't think about Tong Shaoyang to know that it is Tong Xiaoxue, only this little girl will pose like this, the corners of her mouth provoked a bad smile, held her with both hands, and spun desperately, sure enough, a pleasant laughter came, and a small head also poked over from his left side and put it on his shoulder.
"My brother knows it's me every time, it's such a failure, it seems that I have to figure out a new trick, and then I will scare you, hehe......"
A hot breath accompanied by Tong Xiaoxue's voice came into Tong Shaoyang's ears, making him shiver, and Tong Xiaoxue seemed to have discovered this fun phenomenon, kept blowing hot air, and snickered a few times from time to time.
Tong Shaoyang held her with both hands, and couldn't avoid it at all, so she had to endure this itch, but fortunately, Tong Xiaoxue only played for a while before stopping, and jumped off Tong Shaoyang's back and jumped in front of him.
"Little girl, you dare to tease your brother, see if I don't spank your ass......"
Tong Xiaoxue, who thought it was okay, was carried up by Tong Shaoyang, and before she could exclaim, Tong Shaoyang had already gently patted her buttocks, which was the biggest punishment for her since she was a child, of course, the effect was often the opposite.
"Help, help!"
Before Tong Shaoyang finished the second fight, Tong Xiaoxue shouted, and a few people in the house hurriedly ran over after hearing it, and happened to see the scene of Tong Shaoyang beating Tong Xiaoxue, but the force was no different from stroking, and they all glanced at Tong Shaoyang and went back.
"Bad girl, next time you dare to tease your brother, see if I don't smash your ass......"
Tong Shaoyang's words had no deterrent effect on Tong Xiaoxue at all, so he saw her mouth pout, humming a little song and running back to the house, the angry Tong Shaoyang beat his chest and paused to complain that he hadn't taught her a good lesson just now.
At dinner, Nalan Rulong explained the situation in the Dragon Domain to everyone again, but there was a lot of talk these days, and few people listened carefully, so they went back to their rooms to rest after eating hastily.
Lying on the bed, Tong Shaoyang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, all he thought about was what to do if Liu Ruyan and them were in danger after entering the Dragon Domain, he would definitely try his best to save them, but he was worried that if he couldn't help it, if he watched any of them die in front of him, it was better not to let them in.
"That's right, you can let them stay outside, anyway, it's not a fight to find someone, so you don't need so many people, so let's go talk to Nalan senior......"
Slapping his thigh, Tong Shaoyang jumped off the bed, only put on a long shirt and hurried to Nalan Rulong's door, but before he could knock on the door, he heard the voices of several women inside.
