Chapter 17: Dragon Mountain
It was night, in the operation command room, Mu Ning was doing eye exercises, and the two dark circles under her eyes were particularly eye-catching.
In addition to the thirteen people who took the contract to receive the task, there were many outsourced small tasks, which were taken over by some peripheral people, and all the processes would be read and analyzed by the professionals invited by the Yu family first, and then released to the thirteen main dragon hunters.
Mu Ning drank coffee and was responsible for reporting the news to Yu Yusi.
"Where are you now?"
Mu Ning yawned, connected the phone with Yu Yusi, and asked boredly.
"In Longyun County, Linquan City, Old Man Zhou thinks that the dragon may return to the place where he hatched."
"I remember that the place where the eggshell was found was a suburb, why do you say that the place of incubation is in Longyun County?"
Mu Ning looked at the general outline of the task and wondered about it.
"Old Man Zhou seems to have a record of dragon eggs in his memory, powerful dragon eggs need to hatch for nearly a hundred years, and we suspect that the location of the original eggs is not in the suburbs."
"What is the ability of the Hanlin Masters? This ability is quite reliable. ”
History is indeed a valuable resource, especially in a world where treasures are hidden.
It is estimated that it was for this reason that Yu Yusi chose to follow the old man to find the dragon cub.
"Did the others find anything?"
Yu Yusi asked.
"No, no report has been sent, in fact, they are only in a state of waiting for an opportunity now, and the people below have not found any trace of the dragon."
Mu Ning replied.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Yu Yusi said.
"It's just a small favor."
Mu Ning is very grateful to Yu Yusi for bringing him to the dark alley market, there are so many rich and sick people here.
After only one day, he went from a poor household to a millionaire, so why not stay a few more days?
Make a fortune today!
The clock in the conference room arrived at eleven o'clock, and a watchman ringed the gong downstairs.
"It's quite meaningful, even this one is retro, and there are more husbands and sisters."
Mu Ning opened the window, and he saw a dark shadow passing by knocking on a gong downstairs, muttering that the sky was dry and dry, be careful of the candle......
"Did you change it?"
Yu Yusi asked in her voice.
"Well, it seems like it started at seven o'clock."
"During the first shift, the town was closed and disappeared from the original place, and by the fifth watch, that is, on the fifth watch, the dark alley market would open elsewhere."
Yuyu Si Koppingdao.
"There's such a thing!"
Mu Ning was taken aback.
"It's okay, it's just going from one wilderness to another, don't panic."
Yu Yusi comforted him.
“……”
Mu Ning set an alarm clock for the email, and once someone sent a message, it would prompt, and then went to look in the mirror.
The bags under his eyes are really getting heavier and heavier, and the weakness of the Nirvana period makes him a little unsteady on his feet, looking like he has been hollowed out.
"Sleep, sleep, dog's life matters."
He stretched, put a few chairs together, and fell asleep.
The clock walked silently, and the rain in the town was dripping.
……
Linquan City, in the downtown library.
"Do you know the legend of Linquan City?"
The gray-haired old man said.
Linquan City, Eastern Province, is the capital of this province, also known as Quancheng, because of the large number of springs.
Of course, Yu Yusi didn't want to get an axe in front of the old man with the blessing of his ancestors and ancestors, even if he had a make-up class before coming, he pretended not to have heard it, and showed a posture of listening to his ears.
Springs is a highly developed city and an important transportation hub, with a large amount of crystalline supernatural substances deep underground, which are difficult to mine, and local tour operators use it to promote the countless benefits of soaking in the hot springs of Springs.
Of course, they are already transcendental, and the basic theory of transcendent genes is still known, and only fools will believe it.
It's just a gimmick.
At night, the lights are bright, and the traffic is endless.
The old man thought for a while, he knew that the little girl in front of him was his employer, and he was the only one among the thirteen people who knew it.
And because he wasn't purely hired, the person who found the eggshell was him, and he was equally surprised that there was a dragon in his hometown.
Professor of archaeology at Quancheng University in Eastern Province, Zhou Yuanchen.
"The so-called myths and legends are also a kind of history that cannot be examined, they are some absurd, some are strange, but they also have value, they are ancient messages left by people's word of mouth."
Zhou Yuanchen said that he relied on the memories of his ancestors to find a rubbed book from the dusty ancient bookshelf.
Of course, the original book has been reasonably preserved, and it is still in the face of his archaeology professor to see the rubbing.
"Is it related to the dragon we're looking for?"
Yu Yusi asked.
"Yes."
Zhou Yuanchen said,
"In our history that can be checked today, Quancheng has always been a city rich in products and outstanding people, in the military books, in the annals, the description of Quancheng is a rich country, and soldiers must fight."
"But in the description of older legends, Quancheng is a barren land, full of salt, active volcanoes, and the transcendent substances underneath have turned into poisonous gases, and this place is not at all suitable for human habitation."
"And then? What happened later changed that. ”
Yu Yusi asked, the memory in her mind was reversed, but there were similar legends, those were all praises to the ancient emperors.
For example, the Shennong clan is said to be a powerful transcendent who once transformed barren land into useful crops.
The old man skillfully flipped the book to the number of pages he needed and handed it to Yu Yusi, who looked at the book carefully and found that it was all in an incomprehensible style similar to oracle bone inscriptions.
This old man is very good at pretending.
Yu Yusi scolded in her heart, but she was also prepared, turned on the translation equipment she brought with her, and began to translate the things recorded in this book.
"The book says that Dayu controls the water, this is not some kind of myth and legend, the people of Daxia are familiar with it, is it that the process of controlling the water has changed the topography here?"
Yu Yusi turned a few pages and said suspiciously.
"History has perspectives and standpoints, and this is the text of the people of Longshan."
Zhou Yuanchen reminded.
Yu Yusi continued to look at it.
Longshan people, claiming to be the tribe blessed by the dragon clan, different from other human races, born noble, there are many such people, the emperors in history claimed to be the reincarnation of the real dragon, and the name of the dragon clan blessed was really not very loud.
bragging is so conservative, it can be seen that it can't be a big deal.
And this book was compiled by the people of Longshan, because the age involved is too old and too bizarre, even if it is a strange novel, it is not strange.
The book says that Emperor Yu, who controlled the water at that time, led water and discharged floods all the way to Longshan, saying that this mountain blocked the waterway he dredged and wanted to remove Longshan.
The people of Longshan naturally did not agree, even if the world was flooded, it would not affect their towering Longshan, even if they refused Yu, but Emperor Yu was obviously not so easy to dismiss.
In this book, Emperor Yu is portrayed as a heinous tyrant, a villain who tramples on other people's homeland.
But strangely, the dragon they boasted about did not come to their aid, as if it had disappeared.
There is no follow-up in the book, the reality is the follow-up, Longshan disappeared, and the flood was dredged into the sea.
The dragon on Longshan is nowhere to be found, and the people on Longshan are nowhere to go.
