Chapter 203: Honorific Titles
The violence in the dragon's breath turned into docility, and the wall of fire that burned violently lost its temperature, and it could not feel a trace of heat.
The living dragon broke free from the seal and crawled out of the pit with hatred that made the earth tremble, but now, the hatred accumulated for thousands of years disappeared without a trace, and one by one turned into absolute submission.
Xiao He turned her head and looked at Mu Shijing, the mist in her eyes dissipated, and she didn't ask 'Why are you here', but:
"You...... Who is it? ”
Mu Shijing's red lips hooked, walked past Xiao He, she stretched out her hand, rubbed Xiao He's snow hair, and said dotingly, "I am your sister Mu." ”
Early in the morning, after she finished stealing the manuscript, defeated the disciples who guarded the door, and returned to the witch's house, she came to the evil pool according to the instructions of the disciples, and traced all the way according to the clues they left.
Throughout the day, she had traveled thousands of miles, over mountains and mountains, over the scorched earth, and finally arrived, where she heard the ancient dragon's groan, which was different from the dragon's corpse, and it was mixed with strong emotions, like the howl of a night wolf to the moon.
In the distance, she saw the crippled dragon, with a mutilated back, a slender neck, and a body covered in scales.
For some reason, Mu Shijing not only didn't feel frightened, but didn't even feel surprised, but just ...... This also seems to be a little different from the dragon in her initial impression.
The furious living dragon wanted to destroy everything, and the figures of Xiao He and Lin Shouxi were as small as dust in front of it, so she walked over, and the dragon's breath made way for her, and the furious dragon bowed down for her.
She didn't know how she did it, but it was all instinct.
"Why are you here?" Lin Shouxi asked suspiciously.
"I heard in Yunkong Mountain that there is a demon rebellion in the dry lake in the north, and I'm worried about you, so I'm going to come and have a look,"
The coldness in Mu Shijing's eyes gradually subsided, she casually made up a reason, and said lightly: "Sure enough, you can't do without this girl." ”
"You're from Yunkong Mountain?"
"Or else?"
"Yunkong Mountain still has a magic weapon that can catch up with Yunluo?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"Didn't you spend the night at Wu's house, can't I be a day late?" Mu Shijing asked rhetorically.
"Hmm......" Lin Shouxi nodded thoughtfully, and immediately shook his head, "No, how do you know that we spent the night at the Wu family?" ”
“……”
Mu Shijing snorted coldly and said, "This girl sacrificed her life and forgot to save you, how can there be so much nonsense?" ”
"Well, thank you Sister Mu." Xiao He seriously.
"It's still Xiao He who is sensible." Mu Shijing nodded with satisfaction.
Lin Shouxi always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of a reason for a while, not to mention that the current crisis didn't seem to be completely resolved.
The black-robed goddess knelt on the ground, the chains wrapped around her body were still discharged, her only eye was dilated, and her bare skin was as pale as paper, with blood flowing from it.
She was still reciting those words in fragments, the content was nothing new, it was still the contempt for the Seven Goddesses and the yearning for the blue star.
Lin Shouxi didn't know why she had such a deep obsession when it was just an ethereal dream.
"What about this dragon?" Xiao He asked.
"Hmmm......"
Mu Shijing pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go and negotiate with it." ”
She walked straight towards the dragon.
Through the black scorched earth and the crazy woman kneeling on the ground, Mu Shijing came to the dragon.
The hideous dragon and the stunning girl, this is a scene that makes anyone who sees it tremble, only Mu Shijing's heart is like water, and it is extraordinarily calm. She raised her hand gracefully, covering the hard scales of her upper jaw, and the dragon let out a low guttural sound.
It is like a disabled old man who is dying, telling the new princess about the glory and hardships of the past, Mu Shijing listened carefully, and her beautiful back was as tall as a sword.
The night breeze was blowing slowly, the girl's black dress was curling endlessly, and the snow-white calves were looming.
"Is Sister Mu talking to that dragon?" Xiao He asked uncertainly.
"Probably...... Be? ”
"When did she practice the dragon language?"
"How would I know?"
"You weren't ...... before," Xiao He wanted to say and stopped.
"It's not!" Lin Shouxi firmly denied it.
Xiao He was a little annoyed when she saw that he was still hard-mouthed, but now was not the time to flirt, and she just made a note in her heart.
Xiao He looked at Sister Mu nervously, she was now at the mouth of the dragon, if this golden pupil dragon burst out, it would be able to tear the girl's delicate body to pieces in an instant. Lin Shouxi was also very nervous, he was afraid that after the exchange, he would ask the dragon what was going on, and Mu Shijing would say, 'I didn't understand'.
"Watch out for ...... behind"
Suddenly, the black-robed goddess raised her head and reminded in a hoarse voice.
Everyone's eyes looked at the dragon's back.
At the edge of the pit of the ruins that had collapsed before, countless evil spirits were awakened and climbed up along the wall of the well, they were strangely shaped, like all kinds of soft creatures stitched together, the size was larger than the bison, and the speed was as fast as a leopard, if they were really adults, their strong tentacles could even hunt dragons.
The evil spirit crawled from the undercurrent underground palace, the momentum was violent, like a thousand troops crossing the border, but Mu Shijing's face did not have the slightest fear, she opened her mouth slightly, and issued an indifferent syllable 'kill'.
The living dragon looked back, a pair of golden red eyes illuminated the back of the evil spirit, no matter how huge they were, they were small in front of the dragon, the living dragon raised its neck, and the dragon's breath gathered into a circle on the tip of its tongue, gushing out.
It wasn't pure flame, it wasn't one of any elements, it was dragon's breath, and it contained a unique sense of destruction.
In an instant, the edge of the pit turned into a sea of fire, and the menacing evil spirits were shrouded in the flames, and their bodies burst into strange noises.
The sea of fire formed a line, a line that could not be crossed.
This is a monster that Lin Shouxi and Xiao He are difficult to kill with their swords, but they lost their self-healing ability in the real dragon's breath and turned into puddles of foul-smelling black charcoal.
The evil spirits realized the danger, and retreated to the depths of the underground palace like insects, and did not dare to take more than half a step, and the few who broke through the wall of fire and broke into front of Mu Shijing were also dying, and Mu Shijing pulled out the death certificate and nailed to the ground.
The girl in the black dress cleaned the turbid liquid on the sword, put the sword back into the sheath, she looked at the disabled dragon in front of her, nodded and said, "Okay, I know, you leave, the farther away from the god wall, the better, don't come back." ”
The dragon let out a guttural roar.
"It is the will." Mu Shijing said coldly.
The dragon finally listened to the order, and it slowly stood up, as if it was about to leave, but the black-robed goddess couldn't hold it back, she stood up like crazy, and hissed, "No! It can't go! It is the only living dragon...... It can't go! It's gone, who's going to give me back my freedom?! ”
"I'm going to let it go, what can you do?" Mu Shijing asked rhetorically.
The living dragon seemed to echo her words, and spat out a hurricane, and the black-robed goddess who rose up was wrapped in the hurricane and retreated, she cast a spell to tear through the storm, and her figure flew towards them again.
"Can't let it go! Can't put ...... This is my chance, don't let go of my chance! ”
The black-robed goddess's angry voice was full of pleading, and she pounced on Mu Shijing like a black eagle and shouted: "If you dare to let it go, you are a sinner of the human race, a sinner who will be punished by ten thousand punishments!" ”
The dragon spat out the hurricane again, and the black-robed goddess crashed straight into the wind wall, her body bouncing off the ground and sliding backwards.
She looked up at the starry sky, her eyes changing back and forth between clarity and madness, and finally replaced by madness, she stood up again despite the pain, screaming like a demon and killing the girl in the black dress like an arrow.
Seeing this, Lin Shouxi and Xiao He hurriedly went to stop them.
Mu Shijing didn't have the slightest fear, this living dragon was an indestructible armor, and she couldn't get close to her at all.
Without waiting for them to intercept her, when she approached Mu Shijing, the iron chain in the black robe of the goddess stretched out again, tightly wrapping her body, and the former goddess knelt in front of Mu Shijing, her red hair was scattered, and her beautiful face was full of tears of fear.
"Don't ...... Don't put ...... Slut ...... You're just like my sister...... It's all ...... Ahh
The last note turned into a scream, and thunder and lightning came from the chains, causing her to constrict and tremble, her head drooping, her red hair scattered, and her words were like moans.
Mu Shijing shook his head slightly.
The wind grew from under the dragon's bone wings, supporting it to rise into the air, and the girl was caged in the wind, her black hair and black dress curling like a cloud.
……
"Don't go any deeper, it's not safe there."
Grain
The living dragon had already left, and Mu Shijing dragged the black-robed goddess who had passed out in a coma back to their side.
Late in the night, the pool began to fog up, and the deeper part was shrouded in a thick mist, and there was silence there, as if there was a deeper secret.
"What's hidden in there?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"It didn't tell me." Mu Shijing replied.
"Sister Mu can really talk to the dragon?" Xiao He was surprised.
"I won't, but I understand." Mu Shijing replied.
As for where this ability came from, she didn't know, vaguely, she only felt that it was related to the girl in the black dress in the depths of her dream.
"Sister Mu is so amazing." Xiao He felt reverence.
Mu Shijing put her hands behind her back, and calmly bowed her head, as if this was just a very simple thing, and it was not worth boasting about, she said lightly: "I wanted to hide my strength and get along with your little sister, but who knew that you had to inch in and deceive me arbitrarily, and now that you are in danger, I don't bother to hide it anymore, so I have to show off the dew." ”
When Xiao He heard this, she believed it a little, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed when she remembered the scene of bullying Sister Mu in the past.
Lin Shouxi knew Mu Shijing better, although he didn't believe this set of words, but thanks to her timely arrival today, he didn't expose it, but praised a few words.
Mu Shijing felt their worship, her red lips gently provoked, for some reason, in the past, when she was a saint of Taoism, she was admired and respected by the world, she was not proud, but now she is holy in front of her brothers and sisters, but her heart is very happy.
She looked at the previous generation of goddesses who lost one eye, and looked at her with emotion, "She and the goddess are really carved out of the same mold, and there are people who are so similar in the world?" ”
"This is her sister......"
"Oh."
Mu Shijing nodded silently, she untied her black robe, but inside it was not a beautiful skirt, but a white prison robe, which was full of dense scriptures, like a seal, and outside the white robe was a black iron chain, the chain was extremely heavy.
Lin Shouxi looked at her and couldn't help but think of Luo Chu'e.
The holy goddess who was also in the past had infinite beauty, and after being polluted by evil spirits, she could only rely on shackles to entangle her flesh to prevent it from falling into the abyss.
But this is just a drink to quench your thirst, and in the long run, it is only a matter of time before you fall into complete madness.
"Carry her back." Mu Shijing pointed to Lin Shouxi.
Xiao He wanted to object, but after she tried the weight of the goddess, she immediately agreed to let Lin Shouxi carry it.
They left here and returned the way they came.
The fog behind them became thicker and thicker, and there seemed to be something standing in it, and the three of them were aware of it as they watched them leave, but none of them looked back.
On the way, Lin Shouxi asked about the dragon, and Mu Shijing, who was proficient in dragon language, repeated the words of the dragon.
"It wakes up right here, a huge number of evil spirits are stationed in the palace buried deep underground, using the temple as a magic circle, trapping it, they cut off its limbs and wings, regularly drawing blood from its heart, as if they are doing some research."
Mu Shijing: "This kind of day has lasted for a long, long time, about hundreds or even thousands of years. ”
Do your research......
Lin Shouxi knew that with the spiritual wisdom of these evil spirits, it was not enough to conduct any research, and behind them, there should be a more intelligent life, which was more powerful than the Golden Pupil Ancient Dragon.
Xiao He was thinking about the matter of time.
"Hundreds of thousands of years...... If it was a living dragon, how could it have survived so long? Xiao He asked.
"I asked that question as well." Mu Shijing.
"What about its answer?" Xiao He asked.
Mu Shijing shook his head and said, "It, as soon as it wakes up, it has flesh and blood scales on its body, and I don't know where they came from." ”
Xiao He regretted it.
When Lin Shouxi heard this, he grasped the point of his words: "Wake up? ”
"Hmm...... What's wrong? Mu Shijing looked at him.
Lin Shouxi sorted out his thoughts and asked, "You have the power to make the dragon surrender, right?" ”
"Maybe." Mu Shijing nodded.
"Then why, in the Evil Spring Prison of the Holy Land Temple, that red-pupiled dragon corpse kept attacking you?" Lin Shouxi asked.
“……”
Mu Shijing's eyes narrowed, and she fell into thought, and soon, she understood what Lin Shouxi meant.
"Wake up......," the girl murmured.
There are conditions for awakening, that is, to have consciousness, does the dragon corpse really have consciousness? In retrospect, those bone dragons only had emotions and instincts, and they had no real consciousness at all.
Therefore, the 'awakening' of this living dragon and the 'awakening' of the dragon's corpse growing a heart and crawling out of the stratum should be two different concepts.
Mu Shijing and Lin Shouxi glanced at each other, their eyes bright.
"You ...... What do you understand? ”
Xiao He looked fixedly from the side, and suddenly felt that he was a little redundant.
"This living dragon was originally a dragon corpse too!"
Mu Shijing completely made his own speculation: "Generally speaking, once the dragon corpse wakes up, it will run south, even the king of Cangbi is no exception, but it is different, it is bound by evil spirits and trapped in this altar, so, for a long time, it gradually gave birth to muscles, blood, muscles and bones, scales, and gradually turned into a complete dragon." ”
"Sister Mu means that the living dragon is made of dragon corpses?" Xiao He asked in surprise.
"That's right." Mu Shijing continued: "We think it's unbelievable that white bones give birth to flesh and blood, but dragon corpses are unreasonable things, since they can give birth to hearts, why can't they give birth to complete bones and blood? ”
"Then why did the previous dragon corpse ......?"
Xiao He wanted to ask why there were so many dragon corpses, but she didn't find a single living dragon, but halfway through the conversation, she figured it out herself.
In order to prevent their hearts from resuscitating, humans soaked their white bones in the divine turbidity and dissolved their hearts with the divine turbidity, so naturally, they had no chance to continue to grow bone and blood.
Even if there were, the time to grow blood and bones was extremely long, and the whole process took at least a hundred years, so no one had ever done such an experiment.
The dragon corpses did not submit to Mu Shijing precisely because they were unconscious, and this more powerful living dragon grew brains, but instead bowed down to her and expressed obedience.
Thinking of this, the three teenagers and girls had an idea at the same time:
If all the dragon corpses captured by humans over the years were turned into living dragons, and then Mu Shijing would be able to lead them, wouldn't human beings be able to have an invincible dragon army composed of ancient dragons?
The dragon corpse has become so powerful, and the power of the living dragon is unimaginable! Not to mention an army......
Of course, this is just imagination, they understand that there must be many obstacles to the real implementation of this matter, and just imprisoning a dragon corpse for a hundred years is difficult enough for the current human race.
"By the way, why did Sister Mu let go of that dragon?" Xiao He asked.
"It has suffered for so many years, and it should be free, and if it is allowed to be captured by humans, it will continue to suffer, I ...... I can't bear it. Mu Shijing opened his mouth coldly, as if something hurt him.
When it comes to the word 'human', Mu Shijing's tone is unusually indifferent, as if he is in a species that has nothing to do with him.
Lin Shouxi slowly turned his head, wanting to ask, 'What are you?'.
Mu Shijing thoughtfully saw his doubts, but also misinterpreted his doubts.
"Well, it's time for me to think of a nickname." Mu Shijing thought about it.
"Honorific?" Xiao He was puzzled.
"Well, generally speaking, when martial arts masters walk the rivers and lakes, they will give themselves a well-deserved title, such as what Shura Knife, Red Practice Fairy, Dugu is undefeated...... In short, the name should not only be loud, but also in line with the identity. Mu Shijing seriously.
So, on the way back to the white wall, everyone began to give advice to Mu Shijing, and thought of many names, such as: Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons, King in Black Dress, Holy Son of the Seclusive Daomen, Stunning Man of Shepherd Old Gods, Omen of Evil Spirits, Goddess of Dragons, and Immortal Ancient Female Emperor......
Mu Shijing felt that each one was very good, it sounded very powerful, she thought about it seriously, and it was difficult to choose for a while.
"Since you can't bear any of them, it's better to string them all together, anyway, the name is not too long." Lin Shouxi saw that she was so embarrassed and made a suggestion.
Lin Shouxi was joking, he thought that he would be ridiculed coldly by Mu Shijing after he finished, but who knew that Mu Shijing actually thought about it seriously and hesitated: "It seems to be ...... Feasible? ”
