Chapter 4 Wealth is sought in danger, but it is also lost in danger
Standing on the altar of the mountain stone, Yu Youquan faced the dragon head reflected in the water, obviously it was just the reflection of the rock, but he still felt as if he was being targeted by some kind of terrifying existence.
I can't tell you the exact feeling, but I feel a chill down my spine.
Yu Youquan endured the discomfort in his heart and eliminated all negative emotions, even if there may be unknown dangers in this trip, or even if he simply went to deliver food, he was still resolute.
There is no way back!
Yu Youquan spread the ancient scroll in front of him, meticulously paved.
Subsequently, according to the teachings of Tao Fuzi and the secret words on the ancient scrolls, he began to sacrifice heaven and earth and worship the eight directions.
A wisp of wind rose, blowing the entire Longtan water, and there were traces of ripples.
The coercion is increasing, like a warning, like a heavy pressure.
Yu Youquan's face turned pale, and his small body couldn't help shaking, but he still insisted and completed the worship meticulously.
Then, it's the sacrificial sword dance!
The sword was a small wooden sword that he always carried with him; Sacrificial sword dance, he danced countless times.
But this time, it was particularly difficult.
Yu Youquan gritted his teeth and insisted.
Walking with the sword, although it is not as beautiful, chic, and light as it usually exercises, it has a sense of power that I have never had before.
And it is this change that the charm of the sacrificial sword dance is beginning to become completely different.
The originally chic and uninhibited sword dance became thick and simple, full of awe-inspiring killing intent, and the sound of Huo Huo killing sounded in his ears.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Yu Youquan feels as if there is some kind of indescribable Taoist rhyme flowing in his heart.
As a result, it became more and more difficult to dance the sacrificial dance.
The heart is pounding, the soul is scattered, and there is a faint feeling of impending disaster!
Yu Youquan instinctively wanted to stop, after all, people are all seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages!
But.
He finally gritted his teeth and insisted!
For him, even a sliding shovel to deliver food is better than going to prison and beheading the public.
At least that's his own choice to die!
In addition, if he could really die at the hands of a true dragon, for a mortal like him, it might not be in vain to come to the world.
Fortunately, he has practiced this sacrificial dance enough times that he has already formed a muscle memory, and even if he is thoughtless, he can jump with instinct.
All that's left is to persevere!
Time passed minute by minute, and I don't know when, Yu Youquan felt a thunderstorm around him, and faintly seemed to open a pair of eyes.
It's obviously not substantial, but it's like a pinprick in the body, and it hurts everywhere.
Where his eyes open and close, there are flashes of lightning, wind, thunder, and waves, and the transition of day and night, and these seem to be flooding his heart.
Hang on!
Hang on!
Hang on!
It's the only thing he can do!
When the smell of sweet blood came from his mouth and nose, Yu Youquan finally finished this set of sacrificial dances that had been rehearsed countless times.
Immediately, Yu Youquan found that all the wind, rain, thunder and lightning in front of him suddenly disappeared, and everything became calm, as if nothing had happened.
But in the next moment, Yu Youquan was stunned to find that the clear and turquoise dragon pool in front of him was suddenly reversed.
The sky became the earth, and the blue water became the dome of the sky.
When I came back to my senses, my feet were already on the ground, and I felt a sense of solidity.
As far as the eye could see, there was a dim cavern with a glowing green light.
The cave is very, very large, except for the unusually striking stalactite "Heavenly Pillar", the rest of the place is even more empty.
Of course, there are still some reefs that are riddled with holes, like endless waves washed out.
In the distance, you can see some strange buildings such as coral trees and shell mountains, glittering and jeweled, just like the underwater world seen in previous lives.
It's dry...... Ryugu?
Yu Youquan is not very sure whether the guess is true or false, but what can basically be confirmed is that this is already another space.
At least in terms of size, it has far surpassed Longtan, and it is unimaginably vast.
Is this a landscape that only practitioners can see?!
Yu Youquan's eyes lit up, looking greedily at everything in front of him, and countless joys and excitement surged in his mind when he stepped into the world of cultivation.
However, Yu Youquan has not forgotten the purpose of this time!
He immediately saluted and respectfully greeted Shenlong, but unfortunately there was no response!
Yu Youquan chose to continue to explore inward.
Taking a step, Yu Youquan was stunned to find that the place where he had stepped was lit up with turquoise light, and then there was a faint splash of water.
This...... It's amazing!
In order to be more calm and steady, Yu Youquan did not stop to study, but continued to deepen step by step.
I saw that where he stepped on, waves appeared, and a large number of flowers, grasses, insects, fish, and ancient trees appeared on the edge of the waves.
Moving on, you can even see some birds and animals, and even a large number of humans.
Hunting, fishing, grazing, farming, sacrifices, wars, ......
The glimpses of all kinds of human activities passed in front of him like a marquee.
Occasionally, he can even hear some Sanskrit Zen singing Taoist rhyme fairy wind, which brings him infinite inspiration.
What kind of dragon is this?
A dragon king who has enjoyed a large number of human sacrifices?
No one answered, so the answer is unknown.
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly struck with salty humidity and cold.
This was followed by a storm of storms.
Yu Youquan has forgotten that in a short period of time, he has experienced wind and rain for the first time!
In other words, since he went up against the Longtan Ditch, he seems to have formed an indissoluble bond with the wind and rain.
However, it all seems very, very ...... Plausible!
Because the dragon is the god who rules the storm!
But this time the wind and rain seemed to be very different from before, obviously it started from the outside, but Yu Youquan felt that the wind and rain went straight to the soul through Mai's skin, so that the wet feeling could not be removed.
This gust of wind blew for a long, long time, and therefore it rained for a long, long time!
Because of this, this upside-down space was suddenly filled with "floods".
And this caused Yu Youquan to go with the flow uncontrollably!
I don't know how long time has passed, when he collapsed on the ground and vomited a lot of water with difficulty, and almost died, but before he could rejoice, Yu Youquan found that he had come to a larger space.
Looking up, there is a huge dome, on the dome there are exquisite murals, the murals are inlaid with a large number of pearls, illuminating the whole space as bright as day.
At this time, Yu Youquan discovered that this space was actually part of a huge palace.
It's hard to imagine what kind of ingenuity could have been made to create such an architectural marvel.
But.
Yu Youquan didn't have any appreciation at all!
Because in front of him, I don't know when, a huge ...... appeared out of nowhere Tap!
It's really too big, his small body isn't even a third the size of the dragon's eye!
What's more, the naturally falling dragon whiskers are like giant rafters to him.
What followed was some kind of inexplicable coercion, and perhaps the dragon didn't release any coercion in the first place.
But this astonishing size gap alone made Yu Youquan instinctively feel fear.
What's more, he was too close and too close to that pair of dragon eyes, even if he didn't deliberately interpret it, Yu Youquan could still feel the indifference and serenity contained in the dragon eyes.
Just like humans look at ants on the ground!
Maybe you can watch it with interest for a long, long time, but it's just a whim, and it's normal to crush one finger and step on it to death with all interest.
Yu Youquan had the intention of standing up, but his brain seemed to be short-circuited, and his body was not controlled at all, not only did he fail to stand up, but he seemed to have been sucked away from his bones and turned into a puddle of paralyzed mud.
Even the teeth can't help but rattle, and every bone seems to scream!
Yu Youquan thought that he was very resolute in his two lives, but when he really faced the mythical creature of the real dragon, he realized that his bravery, perseverance and fearlessness stemmed more from ...... Ignorant!
For this trip, he has actually typed countless drafts in his heart, and even what tone to use when opening his mouth has been rehearsed countless times.
But.
When he faced the existence of the Divine Dragon, Yu Youquan realized that all his preparations were actually of little significance.
"Tiny Human ......"
There was a strange syllable in his ears, not any language that Yu Youquan knew, but he just understood.
This is supposed to be the word of the gods that acts directly on the soul!
Yu Youquan was still very scared, but his heart was uncontrollably filled with joy.
Shenlong can communicate, which means that he still has the possibility of winning the bet!
But in the next moment, Yu Youquan fell directly from heaven to hell.
"Thou art not the one I have been waiting for...... I'll eat you! ”
Yu Youquan's face was pale, and there was no trace of blood.
He knew that Shenlong was not lying!
Because for a creature of this great shore, he didn't even bother to lie to him!
In addition, he also heard the endless pain from the tone of the divine dragon, which was the endless anger after being deceived and imprisoned and waiting for fruitless hope to be shattered!
Did you lose the bet?!
Yu Youquan's silver teeth clenched, he knew that he would become the blood food of this giant dragon in the next moment, and he would die tragically, and there was no room for a turnaround.
The gap between him and Shenlong is really too big, and any resistance is like a mayfly shaking the tree!
Sure enough, no matter what world you are in, gamblers never end well!
But.
Born in an ordinary background and without the shadow of the family, what can he do except fight for gambling?
After all, it's still too unwilling!
Yu Youquan felt that he should do something more...... Because he really doesn't want to die!
