Chapter 237: The Sorrowful Dragon
Dragons are creatures that represent nobility and sacredness in any world, and are synonymous with auspiciousness and power in the East.
Legend has it that Emperor Yan was born for his mother to sense the "head of the dragon", and after his death, he turned into a red dragon, so the people of the country will call themselves "the descendants of the dragon".
In the West, however, the dragon is considered a symbol of evil, representing ruin and death, and is often the originator and perpetrator of disasters.
However, regardless of good or evil, dragons have one thing in common in the eyes of the world, and that is to be powerful.
Dragons, always strong.
Whether it is in the legends of Su Wen's previous life, or in the annals of the Sacred Word Continent.
So when Su Wen heard the word "dragon" mentioned in that voice, he suddenly became more and more vigilant.
But it was only vigilance, but there was no fear.
Undoubtedly, Su Wen's unexpected calmness immediately made the atmosphere in the field a little weird, and the mysterious bead was silent for a moment, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Human, aren't you afraid?"
"Scared?" Su Wen raised his eyebrows and shook his head, and asked rhetorically, "Why should I be afraid?"
yes, why be afraid? That's a real question.
It is true that in the legends of Su Wen's previous life, the dragon is always noble, proud, and powerful, but it has never become the protagonist of a story, but it is always accompanied by a tragic fate.
For example, the dragon king in "Journey to the West" can't even beat a monkey, and his own son just ate a horse, so he has to carry a monk to start with a single step in order to forgive his sins.
Another example is the Dragon Prince in "Fengshen List", which is even more miserable. Being cramped and skinned by a little fart child can be regarded as losing the face of the entire dragon clan.
Not to mention the dragons of the West, it is almost impossible to escape the fate of heroic warriors. As a stepping stone for the protagonist to achieve eternal fame.
It's really hard to be in awe of such a dragon.
So at this moment, Su Wen is just more curious and vigilant, so why be afraid?
The mysterious silver bead seemed to be a little stuttered by Su Wen's rhetorical question, and it didn't know how to answer for a while, so it chose a more direct way to show its strength.
The next moment. A wisp of smoke floated out of the bead and condensed into an incomparably huge dragon head in the air, and its indifferent eyes were as big as three Su Wen. He looked at him with scrutiny, cold and contemptuous.
Su Wen's response was very simple, he raised the Cold Moon Sword in his hand and stabbed towards the illusory clear smoke.
The cold moonlight passed past the dragon's eyes. However, it did not cause any substantial harm to it. Withdrawing his sword, the smoke that had been scattered regathered, and the mockery in his eyes was even stronger.
"Human, you have courage, but alas, too stupid. ”
The dragon head spoke again, but Su Wen did not look into the air, but instead moved his gaze down. It fell again on the mysterious silver beads, slightly dignified.
"What the hell are you?"
"Hahahaha. Can't you see that I'm a dragon!"
Su Wen didn't answer, he just stared at the bead, his palms were slightly tight, after the previous attempts, he already knew that his Cold Moon Sword would not work at this moment, and neither would the Everbright Lamp, so, what about the Infinite Pot?
Thinking of this, a small gourd the size of a palm immediately appeared in Su Wen's hand, and the next moment, a wisp of apricot-yellow brilliance shot out from the mouth of the pot and slammed into the bead.
However, as soon as the brilliant brilliance of talent touched the silver bead, it was immediately extinguished, just like the scene that happened when Su Wen thought it was a literary treasure and tried to activate it with his talent.
So Su Wen made a quick decision and immediately interrupted the transmission of talent, because he was not sure if the other party had the means to transform talent into his own strength like a gluttonous beast.
Su Wen's repeated actions have already brought strong hostility and provocation, but what makes people wonder is that the counterattack from Yinzhu itself has not yet arrived.
Su Wen's eyes flashed lightly, and he suddenly understood in his heart.
"My time is precious, I don't have the time to play pantomime with you here, if you don't tell me, then I'll leave. ”
Su Wen's words were not a lie, he entered the library of the academy this time, originally to study the works of chess, but he never wanted to be delayed for such a long time by such a strange bead, he was not willing to waste such precious time on meaningless things.
Saying that, Su Wen didn't bother to talk nonsense with him at all, turned around and walked towards the gate of the library pavilion.
"Hey, hey, boy, are you really an idiot!
Who would have thought that Su Wen didn't turn around because of this roar, but really pushed open the door of the library and walked out!
At this moment, the dragon head formed by the condensation of clear smoke was completely stupid, and for a while, many expressions appeared on its face that the dragon clan should not have, such as shock, confusion, and stunned......
At this time, Su Wen didn't care how the dragon would react to his departure, he just let out a long sigh of relief, so it seemed that his conjecture was correct, the other party couldn't really hurt him, what he did was nothing more than a bluff.
Thinking of this, Su Wen did not immediately return to the library pavilion, but respectfully walked to the rattan chair and asked in a low voice, "The student wants to ask the old gentleman something, I don't know if it's inconvenient?"
The old man still shook his body lightly on the ground, raised his eyes and glanced at Su Wen, but did not speak.
Su Wen didn't know whether the old man's appearance meant yes or no, but he still stubbornly asked, "I wonder if in the past two months, besides the students, who else has entered the library pavilion?"
Hearing this, a trace of strangeness flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he shook his head silently.
Su Wen got the answer, although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions, thanked the old man softly, and left the library in a hurry, heading down to Shenmu Mountain.
The next moment, Su Wen's figure appeared in front of the pool halfway up the mountain. Before he walked, he was left with only two colors, black and white.
Su Wen's sudden arrival. Bai Jianqiu was stunned, and then he hurriedly put a piece of ink into his arms, and said suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
Su Wen bowed and saluted, and then spoke: "The student came here to ask Mr. about something. ”
"Huh, what's the matter?"
"I want to ask......" Su Wen slowly straightened up, his eyes flashing with solemnity: "What is the Dragon Ball?"
Hearing the two words in Su Wen's mouth, the corners of Bai Jianqiu's eyes suddenly twitched. He then waved his hand and said suspiciously, "Why are you asking this?"
Su Wen smiled and said as if relaxed: "Just now the student entered the library to read books. Occasionally, I saw a war poem, one of which was: Master the Dragon Ball, and the vertical and horizontal will not change. That's why I asked. ”
Of course, Su Wen lied, he just casually copied a sentence from the poems of his previous life. That's a good reason to make up.
Bai Jianqiu heard this. His heart was slightly relieved, and then he smiled: "So that's the case, in fact, it's not a secret, the so-called dragon ball, is a bead condensed by the demon dragon beast after death, it is said to be the medicine of the high-grade elixir, and some people say that it contains some hidden Taoist methods of the dragon clan, but the teacher has not seen it with his own eyes." It's all hearsay. ”
Su Wen's heart was shocked, because he heard a very key word: after death!
Other words. The dragon is actually dead?
Thinking of this, Su Wen suddenly thought of an old incident recorded by Sima Qian in the "Historical Records" of the Demon Clan, and asked again: "However, there should be no dragon clan in the world now, right?"
Bai Jianqiu nodded very affirmatively: "It should be so, otherwise the mainland will not have a single rumor about the dragon clan for a hundred years." ”
Su Wen naturally knew that the royal family of the demon clan was the dragon horse clan, and he had also read in Sima Qian's notes that the time when the demon clan changed the dynasty was before the demon lord attained enlightenment, that is to say, it was at least a hundred years ago, so could it be that the dragon ball found in the library pavilion where he was located had been stored on this continent for more than a hundred years?
Or was that mysterious voice just fooling him, when in fact it wasn't the real Dragon Ball at all?
With great doubts in his heart, Su Wen's face was full of smiles, and he asked Bai Jianqiu a few more questions about the painless painting path, and then left again.
Walking back between the mountain paths of Shenmu Mountain, Su Wen's brows had already twisted into a knot, because if the voice from the silver bead did not deceive him, then he would probably have found the only dragon ball on the Sacred Word Continent today!
And if, as Bai Jianqiu said, the Dragon Ball was transformed by the dragon after his death, then Su Wen would not have to worry about causing damage to himself.
Thinking of this, Su Wen wanted to return to the library pavilion immediately and fight with the dragon phantom, but he didn't do it, but walked slowly to the front of the tea garden and waited quietly at the entrance of the garden.
Waiting for the little girl to get out of class.
Because of the inexplicable appearance of the dragon ball, Su Wen actually spent very little time in the library today, so he came to the tea garden a lot earlier, and just when he was bored, a figure suddenly appeared behind Su Wen.
"I heard that you are Ning Qingbing's teacher?"
When Su Wen heard the voice, he quickly turned his head and saluted, and then replied, "Yes." ”
"And she's a student of Yoo Shi-shi?"
Su Wen scratched his head helplessly, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, Miss Liu is the real teacher of Qingbing, and my name as a teacher is actually not true." ”
The next moment, Lu Sanjiao's feminine face appeared under the moonlight, he shook his head, and said in a low voice: "It's not important, the important thing is that you know about Liu Shishi's relationship with my academy?"
Su Wen was stunned for a moment, and did not mean to hide it, but replied truthfully: "The student guessed a little bit about her relationship with Mr. Bai. ”
This time, it was Lu Sanjiao's turn to be surprised, but he quickly regained his normal color, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then remember, don't get too close to her, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to deal with it in the future." ”
After speaking, Lu Sanjiao's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace, and then, the little girl appeared outside the tea garden, only to find that Su Wen was like a clay statue, motionless and stunned in place. (To be continued......)
