Volume 1 Juvenile Journey Chapter 64 Returning to Dragon City
When Li Xuanji and Lie Yan took the little fox over a mountain beam again and looked at the misty city in the distance, the excitement in their hearts was indescribable.
A man and a horse fled and got lost in the wild goose no return forest, and they went around in circles for more than half a month. When they thought they would never be able to get out of that dead forest again, they ushered in hope. Because they've got a new member to their team, and they're a guide!
When Li Xuanji casually asked the little fox if he knew the way out of the goose no return, the little fox's nod made him dumbfounded.
During the time he was lost, he always regretted that he didn't ask how to get out of the wild goose when he met Ryoma, and he didn't even find a guide. After he met the little fox and took it with him, he didn't think to ask, and ignored it. I didn't expect that I was dark under the lamp, and I looked forward to the stars and the moon and wanted to find the guide who was always walking with me.
With the little fox as a guide, he finally knew why he couldn't get out of the wild goose and didn't return to the forest.
A few times when they walked to some very ordinary places, the little fox would scream 'ah-woo', and then walked out of Li Xuanji's arms, jumped on Lieyan's big head, grabbed the two horns on the top of Lieyan's head with two small paws, and looked ahead with 'serious' eyes. At this time, Li Xuanji knew that there was a problem on the road ahead, so he would make Lie Yan stop and wait for the little fox to solve it.
The little fox would always stand on top of Blaze's head for a long time, staring ahead until Blaze began to shake his head in protest. It threw out a soft rhythm from its beautiful white and gold tail, which seemed to be intentional or unintentional, making Li Xuanji feel an inexplicable mysterious aura, and this rhythm had begun to work unconsciously.
Some of the trees have become taller, some have become much smaller, some of the rocks that were obviously on the left have shifted to the right, some of the boulders that seemed to be tall and majestic have become extremely small, and some of the passages that had been narrow for rats have become wider for carriages and horses!
This is the fundamental reason why Li Xuanji can't get out of the goose and never return!
Before, after Li Xuanji and Lie Yan saw the terrifying traces in the depths of the Wild Goose No Return Forest, he deduced that the root cause of the wild goose No Return Forest was full of lost and indistinguishable from all directions, and it may be that I don't know if it was the traces left by the Holy War. These traces of terror have reached the point of disturbing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and this impact is extremely far-reaching, leaving many incredible phenomena, which has led to the fact that the wild goose does not return to the forest and has become a forbidden area for everyone to talk about tigers.
Although the farther away from the forbidden area of no return, the less affected by the avenue becomes, it also becomes more unpredictable.
When Li Xuanji read through the classics in the Qingzhu Gate, he also dabbled in and studied illusions and illusion arrays, but he was not professional. The illusion in the forest where the geese do not return is a subtle change caused by the disorder of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. To be precise, this is not an illusion, but some deviations from the scenery caused by a little interference of the law, so that the results obtained by the person who sees these scenes are not real.
But it was precisely because of this subtle influence that escaped Li Xuanji's vigilance, disturbed his vision, and made him unconsciously fall into the confusion of this illusion, which eventually led to his disorientation, no matter how long he turned, he could not get out of the wild goose and the forest of no return.
This noble race of the little fox was born with an incomparable talent for illusion illusions, and it had used illusions to escape from Li Xuanji's hands. And this point in the wild goose does not return to the forest is not an illusion of illusion, it is a pediatric for her at all, and it is easy to crack it. If it weren't for the fact that the Heaven and Earth Avenue in the Wild Goose Forest was too disordered, it needed to be cleaned up layer by layer, otherwise it could have passed through in the blink of an eye.
With a professional illusion 'master' like Little Fox, Li Xuanji and Lie Yan walked all the way down a lot easier. There is no need to detour to the west, 'open the road in the mountains, build bridges in the water', find the direction of the sun, and go all the way to the south, and it only took a few days to walk out of the vast wild goose no return forest.
Then they continued south, all the way straight ahead, in addition to replenishing some water and food when they encountered some small towns, it took several days to cross thousands of miles of land without stopping all the way to see the familiar city in front of them!
Dead Dragon City!
Two and a half months had passed when I saw it again. Thinking about the experience of these two and a half months is really unexpected. Exploring the ancient tomb into the imperial mausoleum, the general's mansion was more spiritually than the great competition, rebuilding the spiritual vein for Ling Cangyue, was robbed and killed by Yu Liangcai and the old man, and the lost goose did not return and met Ryoma to adopt the little fox...... Every single one of them was something that I didn't think of when I first walked out of the school. What was originally thought to be a simple healing mission turned into an adventure with ups and downs.
And the whole journey started in the city of the dragon, and it was a little different to come back to this city again.
"Blazing, Jin Ling. Let's go, let's go into town!"
Li Xuanji patted the flames, greeted the little fox, and then walked towards the city gate together.
Jin Ling is the name he gave to the little fox. The name was given because the little fox looked like a bell when it slept, and the brightest color of its body was gold, so it was directly named such a name. In fact, he has another meaning for such a name, Jin Ling and Jin Ning's names are extremely similar, he wants to take the little fox back to the master and joke with Jin Ning, suppress her prestige, and ask for the interest she owes for many years without 'respecting the teacher and respecting the elder'.
When he proposed this name to call the little fox, the little fox was very satisfied with the name, and immediately nodded in agreement, as for its previous name, I am afraid that it has long been forgotten.
"I haven't seen you for more than two months, and the Dragon City has changed so much!"
Li Xuanji couldn't help but admire the bustling shops on both sides of the street.
Walking on the wide streets of the Dragon City, the little fox kept standing on the back of the scorching flame and looking around, looking at everything that had never been seen in the human city with novelty, and from time to time he would cry out twice and ask Li Xuanji to buy it some delicious food that smelled fragrant.
He was not stingy, and generously bought all kinds of things for the little fox that he wanted, and always bought a few more copies, thinking that he would bring them back to his master and distribute them to his fellow disciples. Most of the food and drinks he had prepared in the Pingyang Imperial City had already been consumed by him in the Wild Goose Forest. Now passing through Dead Dragon City, this is also the last stop on the way back to Shimen, and you should indeed buy more things to bring back.
However, a handsome young man, a fiery red dragon horse, and a cute and beautiful little fox. Such a strange combination walked on the streets of Dragon City, attracting a lot of attention. Especially the fire dragon horse, its tall and toned body, bright fur like fire, and beautiful and handsome horns, attracted the attention of nine out of ten on the street.
Dead Dragon City was originally a city that started by operating spirit beasts, although most of the operations were fierce beasts and spirit beasts with ice and snow attributes in Xichuan, but the people here have a very unique vision of spirit beasts, and they can see what is good and what is bad. Not to mention that there are many traders from all over the world in this Dragon City, and many of them have actually seen the Fire Dragon Pony.
"This dragon horse is really tall and mighty, with a bright coat, strong and slender limbs, and a long breath between steps. I'm afraid that its strength is also among the top among dragon horses, although its horns are obviously thick and vicissitudes, and its age is probably not small, but it is still a peerless horse!" a vendor carefully looked at Lie Yan and whispered.
"This dragon horse is not young and powerful, but beside this young man, he is neither humble nor arrogant, docile and obedient. Presumably, he has been domesticated for many years, and his loyalty is extraordinary. A dragon foal like this that is powerful and loyal to its owner is hard to buy. This boy is so blessed. The other vendor next to him then reasoned.
"Shut up, you idiots! Don't let this little gentleman hear it. A richly dressed merchant whispered to the two men, "You still make a living by selling spirit beasts!
"What?!"
The two people looked at the rich businessman in shock and stammered, "Is this ...... Are you really sure this is a fire, this man...... Fire Dragon Pony?"
"Did I use it to deceive the two of you?" the merchant glanced at the two of them unremittingly, and then said proudly: "I have seen the Fire Dragon Horse several times in the Pingyang Imperial City, and they are all the exclusive mounts of the heads of the big families in the Imperial City. Look at the color of the dragon's coat, look at the bright horns, and look at the blood-red hooves, this is a real dragon horse!
"My God......" A merchant sighed in astonishment after listening to his explanation: "It's really a fire dragon horse! It is said that all the fire dragon horses in this world are a number of peerless horses, and the price of just one horse is not enough for me in my lifetime!"
When the other small trader heard this, he looked at Li Xuanji's figure with envy and jealousy, and whispered in confusion: "Since the Fire Dragon Horse is so precious and rare, it is not impossible for extraordinary people to have it at all. So what is the identity of this young man? He can't be the head of a big family, right? Looking at his dress and bearing, it doesn't look like it. Even if it really is, there should be countless guards surrounding him to protect him, why is he the only one alone?"
The merchant was silent, his eyes looked at Li Xuanji who was far away, his face changed slightly a few times, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "No matter what his identity is, the one who can afford to have a fire dragon foal is by no means an ordinary person. Don't think about beating him up and making a windfall. Even those dragon foals are not something you can subdue. Don't lose your money when the windfall comes, but lose your life. ”
The merchant also faintly persuaded himself with these words, and he said a few words of persuasion to the two peddlers before turning away.
Countless people on the street cast fiery glances at Li Xuanji and Lie Yan, and their minds were full of thoughts. But no one stepped forward, let alone accosted him.
However, just because these people don't have the courage to do what they want to do doesn't mean that others don't.
Li Xuanji was walking on the street with Lie Yan about to find an inn to stay in, when an arrogant voice came from behind him.
"That kid over there, how about selling that horse of yours to Miss Ben?"
