As for the previous experience, Gu Chuan repeated his old tricks, and did not talk about one or two things that happened to him with the snake and the silver elder dragon, only that Bu Zi's rebels captured him and his companions, and he and his companions were separated in the process of escaping.

He could not find his companion, and guessed that he might have been caught by two armies, but he did not dare to approach without permission, and heard about the Hanging Garden from the mouths of the people of the village, so he went to the Hanging Garden to ask for help. In the process, he did not dare to approach the garrison from the Hanging Garden, because the garrison was said to be cruel.

After listening to this, Black Elder Long didn't ask about Bu Zi's situation, nor did he ask Gu Chuan's population origin like Tian Li, but instead asked:

"You said you and your companions were separated on the run? Did you leave him behind? ”

Gu Chuan replied calmly:

"I'm not that kind of person. I didn't leave him behind, and sooner or later I will join him again! ”

He wasn't worried about moral questioning, but he was worried that the elders would ask more about the details.

The Black Elder Dragon laughed heavily, and it said:

"That's it, I'll get back to the details tomorrow, I have a few more questions for you. When I'm done, I'll send you back. ”

Gu Chuan's heart was relieved, knowing that he had time to maneuver again, so he naturally would not refute:

"Yes, Elder."

The young man stuffed the papers in his hand back into the box designated by Elder Black, then got up, walked across the wet stone slabs, cautiously entered the room under the tubular building, walked down the ladder, and closed the top door.

The dragon's figure disappeared behind the door, and the building beneath the wall was silent, the light in the crystal tube shining all around.

The road to this complex is long, and there are quite a few rooms for people to live in. However, Gu Chuan didn't understand many equipment and facilities, he was a little like when he first came to a high-end hotel, he was completely puzzled, as if he was groping for a new world.

He searched for a long time, but he couldn't find a way to turn off the transistor and let it shine, so he could only endure the colorful color.

As for the water pipe, he also thought about it for a long time, only to realize that it seemed to be light-inductive, as long as he used his body to block the radiation of the transistor to another transistor, the water would come out.

"And the food is on the other side."

The elder dragon commanded down one floor through the floor.

The young man pushed open the two doors and saw boxes stacked one after another. There is a chest in the outermost part that has been dismantled. He opened it and saw that it was roasted comfrey.

As the only designated staple food for high yields in Qiongqiu, comfrey has many ways to preserve it for a long time. This method is relatively early, which is to soak the comfrey in water first to wrinkle, and then dry it, that is, it can be stored for a long time. It has a long shelf life, but it is more tasteless than boiling comfrey directly, such as chewing white wax.

"I found out! There is a lot of comfrey preserved here! ”

He yelled at the top.

The Black Elder Dragon did not answer.

He put his mind at ease, and immediately shut up, and said no more, with a thoughtful look on his face.

This amount of grain and grass is probably not only necessary for the life of the elder dragon's attendants. As he went, he could see smoothed stone masonry, coiled ropes and slings, and strangely shaped machinery that he didn't know what to do with the doors that happened to open.

"It would be too abundant to interpret the supplies and the large number of humanoid rooms as the needs of the Elder Dragon and his attendants."

It's not impossible, but the young people are more inclined to think that these are remnants of what was once built.

Naturally, this huge dome with a complex structure was not born to grow, but also by human hands, and it must have taken a long time. According to the female official, most of the buildings of the old dynasty and the new kingdom were completed by the human system, and the dragons were not involved. Then the size of many rooms used by people is a matter of course.

"I'm afraid these rooms are where the workers once lived."

The interior is warm. He picked a random room near the exit, and a large bag with many feathers to put under him, which was his bed for the night.

The dome was unusually silent, but the young man never closed his eyes. The uneasiness that wandered between the two forces of Qiongqiu made him toss and turn and couldn't sleep.

When the time passed a little more, there was a loud sound of wings flapping overhead, and it was possible that the Black Elder Dragon had left.

The young man lay on his feathers, opened his eyes, and stared at the neon, and he stood up and casually went to take a few sips of hot water. A long corridor leads to an unknowable end, with bluestone walls separating the larger storage rooms belonging to the elders and the rooms inhabited by humans.

After drinking the water, Gu Chuan sat on a stone chair in a daze.

A groggy feeling made him feel lazy and didn't want to move.

But he thought of death or life again, and thought of Chu Yun, so he stood up again, ready to force himself to rest, so that he could get up and negotiate with the elders tomorrow.

As he stood up, he kicked the stone chair, which spun around with a sizzling sound.

Then there was a rumbling sound, and the originally tight stone wall split in two, leaking a path.

"It's ...... This is、Organs。 ”

The young man's eyes widened, and he cautiously looked to the other side of the secret passage, and saw darkness. He fumbled in the dark, and soon touched the wall, and then he turned to the left and right, pushed open a hidden door on the left, and entered the second secret passage. The second secret passage was darker than before, and halfway through, I turned a corner.

"Was it built by the human system of the past? Why did they build ......? ”

He followed the path and soon came to the end. At the end was a door, and he pushed it open, and the bright light fell into his eyes.

This light does not belong to the neon of the crystal tube, it does not have that bright color, like the cold starlight in space. But after Gu Chuan opened the door wider, he found that this was not the case, and this light could not be said to have no connection with neon.

The room behind the door is much larger than the room where people live, and it is similar to the courtyard of the Tenrime, and it is a huge empty room with the size of an alien dragon.

On one wall of the empty room, there are seven rows of transistors, and each section of each row of transistors is emitting a different color, like a rainbow for a while, very gorgeous.

But all the neon light shone straight on the other wall, and then the other wall emitted a cold white light that illuminated the exit of the secret passage.

The young man walked forward out of curiosity, but all he saw was that the walls were completely bluestone, and there was nothing special about it.

But the blazing light has long been like the sun reflected in the lake.

He unconsciously reached forward and touched it, and sure enough, he touched a clear, smooth, crystal-like thing, but it should be incredibly thin.

"What ...... this?"

He withdrew his hand, saw that there was a strange powder on his hand, quickly brushed it away, and asked unconsciously.

A voice came from the floor:

"This was called Flashwing or Bright Wing in the old dynasty, and was considered the most beautiful and noble wing by the Allosaurus. It's like the current Hanging Garden people are beautiful with white body skin and slender fingers. ”

Gu Chuan suddenly turned his head to the air.

At that time, the ceiling was halfway opened, revealing most of the face of the Black Elder Dragon. And its cloudy eyes were staring at the young man on the ground.

Gu Chuan originally thought that the Black Elder Dragon had already left, but he didn't expect that he would just leave for a moment. He hastily explained that he didn't mean to.

The Black Elder Dragon said:

"Don't be afraid, I know the existence of that secret passage, but I didn't expect you to stray."

"I'm sorry."

The Black Elder Dragon didn't seem to care about this, but instead let out a low laugh:

"Speaking of which, traveler from a foreign country, do you know 'aesthetics'?"

It uses the vocabulary of the Qiongqiu language. However, aesthetics is a constructed noun in Qiongqiu language, and Shen and Mei Gu Chuan have learned it respectively.

"Aesthetic ......" Gu Chuan immediately thought of a lot of knowledge about the earth, and said, "Subject, do you judge the beauty or ugliness of a certain object?" ”

"Subject...... You're using a nice word. "Yes, that's what it means," said the ugly dragon. ”

The ceiling is opened, and the outside light shines in. The original delicate optical structure of the room was destroyed. The young man swayed from side to side, and he saw the outline of the wings, which were like the wings of a bird or an airplane. While the wings are close to transparency, they can accumulate light and reflect brightly.

"These transparent wings are considered beautiful?"

"Yes."

The Black Elder Dragon said:

"It is the monarch dragon of the last generation of the Allosaurus Dynasty, the wings of azure. Azure is considered to be the most beautiful allosaurus in the Allosaurus Dynasty, and it also lives up to expectations, achieving amazing results in his youth, and it is my best student. ”

The amount of information in these few short sentences made the young man dizzy and his head cold.

What is the best student ......? Obviously, when those teachers and bureaucrats were discussing, they said that the Black Elder Dragon voted to execute Tianqing.

Sensing that this was a dangerous topic, he shifted to the following words:

"If you have beautiful wings, then you have ugly wings? What do ugly wings look like? ”

The Black Elder Dragon let out that low laugh again:

"What wings have you seen?"

"I've seen ...... Well, this transparent wing is the first time I've seen it. And then I've seen feather wings, feather wings of many kinds, and, ...... Clawed ......"

When Gu Chuan said this, a cold sweat flowed from his back.

He realized that his transfer had made his situation worse, and he had gone from learning some classified information to directly attacking a person in power.

"That kind of ...... That kind of ......"

"Is it wings like me?" The Black Elder Dragon flapped his wings, "I saw that you looked at my wings when you were in the crowd. ”

"Yes...... Yes......"

"Then you should have guessed that." The Black Elder Dragon let out a low laugh again, it didn't seem to be unhappy, but it was relaxed and happy, as if it was talking about a trivial matter, "This is regarded as a 'bad appearance', that is, the ugliest image, if you change to a human system, you can imagine the kind of person who is so ugly that you don't want to approach, hehehe......"

"I think this kind of winged hand wings have a strong charm, and they must not be considered ugly."

Who knows, at that time, the black elder dragon said something meaningful that Gu Chuan didn't understand:

"If all things are born free, and as long as they are free, then there should be no idea of beauty and ugliness in everything that is alive in this world."

The wind leaked through the cracks and blew on the young man's body. He tightened his clothes.

The radiant wings flutter slightly in the wind, and in the neon, like spots of light shining among the clouds.

"But since there is, it exists, and it's like a thing. I've always been interested in what is it that controls the birth of our notions of beauty and ugliness. ”

It let out a low chuckle.

"Elder—"

Gu Chuan was just about to say something, but the Black Elder Dragon interrupted him:

"Heaven fails."

"What......?"

Gu Chuan was puzzled.

The Black Elder Dragon said calmly:

"My name. Since you are of the same race, you can call me by my first name. The meaning of the name is also very simple. ”

Considered by the most ancient Elder of Heaven to be a strange guy in a thousand generations, when he was born, he concentrated all the ugly and corrupt appearances, and he was completely deformed, and no one ever looked at it favorably.

Therefore, when it was born, it was named 'defeated' by its disappointed parents.

Doomed to achieve nothing.

Now it stands at the top of the hanging garden and the dome, overlooking everything in the world.

The young man stood dumbfounded, illuminated by the light of the flashing wings. As soon as he reacted from the name Heavenly Defeat, he immediately noticed that the Black Elder Dragon had mentioned the word "kindred". He immediately tried to explain:

"...... kindred? Did you recognize something wrong, Elder? I'm human...... From birth to now, I have been getting along with people. ”

But all he heard was a burst of laughter.

The Black Elder Dragon raised its head slightly, revealing gaps in the ceiling that were filled in the background of the pipes. The ruler of the Hanging Garden condescendingly said:

"You don't have to doubt me. Your body expresses a lot of shapes that are unique to the Xenosaurus, but you don't admit it, you don't get in the way, as long as I know. ”

In its long life, the Black Elder Dragon has met too many creatures.

Mentally handicapped people who do not admit that they are alien dragons, but consider themselves to be a stone; There are also people with mental disabilities who do not consider themselves animals, but plants. In the vast human system, this kind of person is everywhere, there are women who think they are men, and there are strange people who think they are gods and Buddhas.

Therefore, for the Black Elder Dragon, the perception of identity never depends on the subjective judgment of the individual spirit. If it were so decided, then gods, demons, saints, rulers of everything, men and women, old men and children, animals and plants, dragons and human beings, would be everywhere.

And because of this, it believes in only one thing.

That is the behavior and expression of the body.

It only believes in the existence of objective physics that has been superficially revealed.

"And, you're special."

The Black Elder Dragon's gaze at the young man reminded him of his longing as he gazed at the rare treasure. This kind of goodwill is not the same as Tianheng's goodwill.

"Elder, I don't quite understand what you mean."

In this corner far away from the world, assuming that the Black Elder Dragon wanted to harm him, then Gu Chuan might need to take a risk. His right hand grasped his left hand, staring cautiously at the monster above.

"Because, you are a key piece of evidence that I have been missing."

At that time, the Black Elder Dragon said:

"But before I do that, I need to ask you something. In the information, it is written that Elder Long Tianheng and Elder Long Tianzhu are both in the Buzi region. They and their students should be able to see who you are. And you've been caught by them, and you said you've met talking dragons, and none of them recognize your weirdness? ”

It let out a low laugh again, like a cat teasing a mouse running away.
