Chapter 1: The Boy and the Eagle
"What are you talking about, Xue Ying is dying!"
"The whole academy knows about it, but you fool doesn't know yet."
A vicissitudes of ancient cypress, thick shade like a cover, under the tree two teenagers are talking. Both of them were dressed in blue and carried long swords behind their backs.
The taller teenager of the two was emotional, and grabbed the other teenager by the neck, "She was fine the day before yesterday, what happened?" ”
This young man's name is Zhang Yanqi, and he is an apprentice of this Heavenly Star Academy.
Tianxing Academy is a sect that cultivates spiritual heroes, and spiritual heroes are knights who have spiritual power and can use magical swordsmanship.
The young man who was caught by the neck was named Guan Hao, who was also an apprentice, and he replied while crying out in pain: "It's yesterday, Xue Ying was poisoned by the people of the Dark Star Demon Courtyard in the city, I'm afraid there will be more than luck." ”
The Dark Star Demon Academy is the sworn enemy of the Celestial Star Academy. The Celestial Star Academy cultivates knights who help the world and save people, but the Dark Star Demon Academy cultivates cold-blooded murderous generals.
"The doctor of Songbai Hall will save Xue Ying." Zhang Yanqi muttered. Songbai Hall is the medical hall of Tianxing Academy, and the doctors there are good at detoxification and healing, and I believe that they will be able to cure Xue Ying.
But Guan Hao immediately came with bad news, the doctors of Songbai Hall had nothing to do, and Xue Ying only had three days to live.
"That poison, it's terrible, it's too powerful!"
"No, it's impossible to ......" Zhang Yanqi couldn't believe his ears, and his chest seemed to be slammed with a sledgehammer.
His head was buzzing, he couldn't hear what Guan Hao said anymore, and he walked away alone in despair.
"Xue Ying, such a beautiful girl, why do you only have three days to live?"
Two years ago, Zhang Yanqi came to Tianxing Academy, where he studied swordsmanship and spiritual power, and aspired to become a spiritual warrior of the Demon Guardian Dao in the future. And the Xue Ying he was talking to Guan Hao about just now was a female apprentice in the same class as him.
Xue Ying is one of the "Three Beauties" of Tianxing Academy, a star-like figure, her person is very beautiful, and her smile is very sweet. Every time Zhang Yanqi passed by her, she could always feel a faint fragrance.
In Tianxing Academy, there are not a few boys who admire Xue Ying, and Zhang Yanqi is also one of them. He has been secretly in love with Xue Ying for a year, and every time he sees Xue Ying, Zhang Yanqi's eyes collide with her, and in just a moment, the deer in his chest will jump wildly.
Xue Ying likes to sit under the grapevines of the academy and read, and Zhang Yanqi often accompanies her, of course, secretly and unnoticed.
Such a beautiful girl, but now she is poisoned and dying, and she only has three days to live, God, why are you so cruel?
Zhang Yanqi felt heartache, and her tears couldn't stop falling. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his head, and a faint voice seemed to speak to him in his head.
"Go to the Library."
It started to hurt again, and Zhang Yanqi squatted down with his head covered.
Since he was over seventeen years old, he often had inexplicable headaches, and he went to Songbai Hall to see a doctor several times, and checked all over his body, but he couldn't find out why.
His body is very healthy, his head is fine, and his intelligence is normal, but he has an inexplicable headache.
This time, the headache was a little different, and there was always a voice echoing in my head, "Go to the library cabinet." ”
The Library of Tianxing Academy has a collection of 10,000 books, with a long history and infinite knowledge.
Zhang Yanqi came to the library pavilion, buried himself in the pile of old papers, and began to frantically flip through the yellowing and moldy old books.
He didn't know why there was that voice in his head, but he suddenly thought that maybe there would be an elixir formula in a certain book that could cure all kinds of poisons and save Xue Ying's life.
There are all kinds of magical knowledge in the book, how do you know that nothing can save Xue Ying's life, he must try.
Zhang Yanqi really found a book - "Wanzhou Catalogue". The yellowed pages of the book appear to be at least 200 years old, and it records the geography of the world's continents. He found that on one page of the book, there was such a passage.
"In the giant sea in the East, the peak of Longshi Island, the peak is the mother of the dragon, the peak hides the stone dragon, and the dragon's mouth holds the stone ball, which can be taken into a pill, can solve all kinds of poisons, can make the dead live, the stone dragon Yuan Dan comes out, and there is no dead soul in the world."
It can cure all kinds of poison and make life dead! Reading this, Zhang Yanqi jumped up with a spirit. He read it several times in a row, and finally determined that as long as he found Longshi Island and found that Shilong Yuan Dan, Xue Ying would be saved.
Suddenly, he thought of a question, and his blood froze.
The WH Catalogue contains only the name of Dragonstone, but no map. He knew the huge sea in the east, but it was the vast sea, where was Dragonstone Island, and what shape was it? I don't even know the shape, how do I find an island?
"Oops", Zhang Yanqi's head began to hurt again, he leaned down in pain, he wanted to hammer his head with his right hand, but his hand did not obey.
As if his right hand had been stricken, he picked up the pen on the table and quickly drew an island on the page. At the same time, a voice began to sound in my head again, "Go, go, go." ”
His head finally stopped hurting, Zhang Yanqi came to his senses, and looked at the island he had drawn with his right hand just now, in disbelief.
"Is this what I painted? Why do my hands draw on their own? Could this ...... Dragonstone? ”
Dongluo City, the dock area, where many sea boats are moored, the wharf is full of people, and the porters are up and down, constantly carrying goods.
Zhang Yanqi came here, took the piece of paper with the shape of the island, and asked the seafarers if there was a boat that could take him to the island.
The crew shook their heads, no one knew about Dragonstone, and no one had ever been there.
Zhang Yanqi was very anxious, and at the same time he found another problem, a sea boat to go to sea, most for half a year, as little as a month, but Xue Ying only had three days, and the time was completely insufficient.
It can cure all kinds of poison and make the dead live. How can a person be resurrected after death, most of the words in the book are exaggerated, but it is enough to cure all kinds of poisons, and he must obtain the Shilong Yuan Dan within three days.
It's too late to take a boat, unless he can fly over, but he is not a bird, how can he fly? In ancient times, the sword immortal could fly the sword to the immortal, thousands of miles in an instant, but he Zhang Yanqi was just a little apprentice who learned the sword, his sword was just a piece of broken iron, and he couldn't fly at all.
Could it be that Xue Ying is really hopeless? Why, why......
Xue Ying's sweet smile appeared in front of her, Zhang Yanqi was sad and mixed with mixed feelings, and tears came out of her eyes.
He was walking down the street in despair, when suddenly he heard a voice.
"Spread your wings through Kyushu, thousands of miles in a millimeter."
Zhang Yanqi was excited, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a giant eagle selling.
The giant eagle, as its name suggests, has a huge body, three people wide and more than two meters high.
This kind of giant eagle is an ancient race on this Yanyu continent, they have wisdom, can understand human language, live in the far north mountain - the Wing Loong Snow Mountain, live on the top of the peak, very rare.
Hawks are even rarer.
Zhang Yanqi stopped and looked the giant eagle up and down.
The giant eagle thought he was the buyer, and greeted him with a smile: "I'm the giant eagle blue ear, do you need me to fly you?" ”
Cang'er ...... Zhang Yanqi noticed that this giant eagle had a pair of big pale metal ears, and it was indeed a pair of big ears.
"How fast can you fly?" Zhang Yanqi cautiously asked Cang'er, after all, this was the first time he had dealt with an inhuman race, and he was still a giant eagle.
The giant eagle replied: "Ten thousand miles, more than half a day." ”
can really fly so fast, Zhang Yanqi was ecstatic, and even a little incredulous.
"Tong Su is not bullied, such as a fake!" The giant eagle is very confident.
Zhang Yanqi saw a small seat on the back of the giant eagle, and asked, "I heard from the teacher that the giant eagle race lives on the top of the northernmost peak of the Wing Loong Snow Mountain, why did you go to Dongluo City to do coolie business?" ”
"You talk so much nonsense, do you sit or not?" The giant eagle was a little impatient, in fact, it had been observing the boy for a long time, and it didn't feel like a rich man.
"Sit...... I'll sit! Zhang Yanqi took out the piece of paper and told Giant Eagle to go there.
The giant eagle Cang'er looked at the paper, and then at Zhang Yanqi, his expression was a little strange.
"Dragonstone, I know this place."
Sure enough, it is worthy of a giant eagle, and the things that can fly are different, Zhang Yanqi was overjoyed.
Cang'er Eagle stared at the young man in front of him and asked solemnly, "Are you sure you're going here?" ”
Zhang Yanqi nodded repeatedly.
But the giant eagle Cang'er shook his head, "There are very terrible things on Dragonstone Island, and if you go there, you are looking for death." ”
Look for death! Giant Eagle's words made Zhang Yanqi's heart fall to the bottom. He asked the eagle what was on Dragonstone, but the eagle shook his head.
"We giant eagles rarely go there, it's a forbidden area, I advise you not to go."
If he doesn't go, Xue Ying will be saved, if he goes, his life may not be saved, how should he choose?
It can cure all kinds of poison and make life dead.
He remembered the words in the "Wanzhou Catalogue", and Xue Ying's delicate face appeared in front of him again, and he seemed to be able to smell a familiar fragrance.
"If I give up, I'll never see Xue Ying again......"
"For the love of your heart, as long as you have the opportunity, you must never give up!"
Zhang Yanqi gritted his teeth and said categorically: "I'm going, I have to go." ”
He negotiated the price with the eagle, and the eagle asked for two hundred silver baht. The silver baht is the currency of the continent.
Zhang Yanqi hesitated for a while, he was just a junior apprentice, let alone two hundred silver baht, he didn't even have fifty silver baht. He gritted his teeth and took off the necklace around his neck, which was the talisman bead that his mother had left him. "This bead is temporarily mortgaged to you, and when I come back and earn money, I will redeem it again, is it okay?"
The giant eagle looked at the bead, thinking that this bead is quite ancient, maybe it is worth a lot of money, this kid went to Dragonstone Island, nine deaths, redemption is almost impossible, the bead must be his own, and he just sold it for a good price when he came back, so he nodded in agreement.
"Can you tell me why you went to Dragonstone?" The giant eagle suddenly asked.
Zhang Yanqi's face flushed slightly, a little embarrassed, "I'm going to get something and save one...... Friends ......"
The eagle eyes of Cang'er looked at Zhang Yanqi and laughed heroically: "It's a girlfriend, haha, the amorous young man will take a giant eagle for his beloved lover at any cost, take a giant eagle, fly thousands of miles, take treasures, and please the beauty, hahaha......"
Without further ado, set off immediately, and Zhang Yanqi climbed on the back of the eagle.
I only listened to the long chant of Cang'er: "The earth belongs to man, the ocean belongs to the swimming fish, and the vast sky belongs to the brave giant eagle." Flutter your wings and fight in the sky, only I am proud of the peaks! ”
With a long roar, the giant eagle spread its wings and flew high.
Zhang Yanqi grabbed the reins, this was the first time he flew into the sky, this feeling was both nervous and excited.
The giant eagle flew higher and higher, and Zhang Yanqi looked at the city, the earth, the woods, the villages, and the distant horizon............
Cang'er flapped its huge eagle wings and flew forward like a sharp arrow off the string.
As expected, it only took half a day's work for the giant eagle to carry Zhang Yanqi to an isolated island in the giant sea.
The shape of the island is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which is exactly the same as the painting on the paper, and it is Dragonstone Island.
The giant eagle hovers above Dragonstone. Zhang Yanqi saw that there was a towering mountain on the island, which must be the Dragon Mother Peak mentioned in the book, so he pointed there.
Cang'er landed on the island.
Looking around, there are bare rocks everywhere, there is not much vegetation, this island is desolate, lonely, and rarely found. Zhang Yanqi looked at the mountain peak in the distance.
The peak is the mother of the dragon, and the peak hides the stone dragon.
As long as you go to the peak and find the dragon made of stone, take out the stone dragon Yuan Dan from the dragon's mouth, and you're done.
He was about to set off, when Cang'er suddenly spoke:
"Do you need to collect your body?"
