Chapter VII: Ao Gan
Yu Youquan had a dream, in which he seemed to have become a mountain, and he slept unconsciously for endless years.
Sunshine, rain and dew, thunderbolts, forests, ancient trees, insects, fish and beasts are all insignificant parts of its life.
In other words, it is also a part of heaven and earth, and it is inseparable from heaven and earth.
The mountain breeze blows, carving the traces of the wind on its body; The flowing water is murmuring, and the declaration of the water is drawn on its surface; The heavens and the earth cracked, and a record of the movement of the earth's crust was written on it; Even the stars in the sky have left proof of their own presence in their own way......
Flowers, trees, insects, fish, birds and beasts, and even humans have all left their own traces.
Later, there were even mountain people who began to worship it, and even sorcerers sacrificed to praise its greatness in various ways.
And none of this means anything to it!
Because.
It is what it is!
Until...... Immortals are born!
Then, it got a new name...... Dragon Vein!
It is associated with countless other dragon veins to form a large array, which has become a unique feng shui pattern in the world.
Later, a palace called the Heavenly Court stood here.
And that still doesn't have much to do with it!
The so-called "dragon vein" is still just the definition of immortals, and it is just talking to itself.
It's still just itself!
Of course.
It's not all about nothing!
At least in the process of forming a great feng shui array with other dragon veins, it was aware of the existence of some of its kind.
That's all!
Time flies, and I don't know how many thousands of years have passed, but it still feels very short for it, and it is no different from before.
But in the process, the most it hears is...... The years are merciless!
It has seen many powerful and incomparable immortals who have grown old and fallen, and there is no difference between them and those divine beasts and great witches who have praised it in the past.
Until one day, a powerful immortal brought a woman to find it, and the woman's breath made it very kind.
The woman was persuaded by the immortal to give it a drop of her own blood.
That day, it came to life!
Yu Youquan in the dream can also feel his joy, which is a miracle of the birth of a great life that conquers the heavens and the earth!
The god of Zhong Heaven and Earth shows the mystery of creation.
It is like the carrier of the Great Dao, and it is born with all kinds of incredible supernatural powers.
It is the darling of the Great Dao, the overlord of heaven and earth, leading countless living beings to worship!
In the dream, Yu Youquan saw his form.
It was a giant dragon that could be millions of zhang long, with nine shapes, and the dragon was full of indescribable domineering.
There is no doubt that his strength and majesty far surpass that of the vast majority of immortals.
Because he was a part of the Heavenly Court Great Array before he was born, he even captured a large number of the essence of the same kind when he was born, causing the entire Heavenly Court pattern to be destroyed as a result.
Therefore, there is an endless stream of immortals who come to stop it!
But.
The yearning for freedom of living beings is unimaginable, even if there are countless immortals who stop him, he still chooses to leave without hesitation.
He yearns for a free sky, clean and clear water, and an endless sea!
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the road to the sea was far farther than he imagined...... He was suppressed by the immortals!
The immortal who gave him life himself!
From then on, time began to become extraordinarily long for him, boundless, endless!
......
Yu Youquan woke up, but his mind could not be completely detached from the dream just now.
Shenlong's memories were engraved into his soul like an imprint.
In particular, Na Wei'an's body completely subverted his perception of living beings.
There was no doubt that the only true dragon born in this realm was the greatest life he had ever seen!
Even the incredibly powerful immortal in the dream is far inferior in the essence of life.
It's just a pity that this only true dragon was suppressed as soon as it was born!
And the real dragon's yearning for freedom and longing for the sky and the sea are more like wanting to completely fill his whole heart!
Is this the true dragon's past?
Yu Youquan didn't know what to say for a while!
Especially the pain of that long time, Yu Youquan felt suffocated.
Before he was born, time had no meaning to him, but when it became meaningful, time was ...... Highly toxic!
At this moment, Yu Youquan's ears sounded the sound of the vicissitudes of the dragon.
"Now that you've woken up, let's go!"
was poked, and Yu Youquan couldn't continue to pretend to be asleep, so he hurriedly got up.
But it was this move that Yu Youquan immediately felt the difference.
His physical condition is so good and good, all fatigue and illness have disappeared, not to mention, and he is full of incredible vitality.
As for the sense of power, it's even more incredible!
Yu Youquan even doubted that he could kill a cow with one punch!
When he saw the tattered linen clothes that had been stained with blood, Yu Youquan's eyes suddenly shrank.
With so much bleeding, naturally it can't be his blood, so the answer is self-evident.
As incredible as it is, this may be the truth - he most likely bathed in dragon blood!
Whether it is the memory of Yu Youquan's previous life or the dream he just had, the value of essence blood is self-evident.
Such as.
The beautiful woman in the dream, with a drop of blood, even ignited the divine dragon, making him transform into life!
Yu Youquan immediately clenched his fists and bowed to worship, "Thank you for the grace of the reinvention of the predecessors of the dragon, the younger generations swear here with the heart of the Tao, once I have achieved success in cultivation, I will come to help the predecessors get out of trouble, if I violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" β
Shenlong placed a heavy bet on Yu Youquan, and the core purpose was to do this.
But Yu Youquan can repay his kindness like this, and he also made such a heavy oath, which still makes Shenlong feel good.
Shenlong: "Remember your oath and leave!" β
I don't know if it's because the five senses of bathing in dragon blood have become extremely sharp, Yu Youquan keenly perceives that there is a lingering ...... in Shenlong's voice Exhaustion!
Yu Youquan suddenly woke up.
Bathing in the grace of dragon blood may be heavier than he imagined!
Gratitude is a beautiful quality, and the education received in the past and present lives has shaped Yu Youquan's character of knowing how to repay the grace of dripping water.
Yu Youquan didn't make any more promises, but kept all this firmly in his heart.
Yu Youquan raised his head and said seriously, "Senior Long, you may not know enough about the juniors, please allow the juniors to formally introduce myself to you......"
Yu Youquan immediately took care of himself and started to talk about it.
Name, background, various experiences from childhood to adulthood......
It's cumbersome and messy, but Yu Youquan thinks it's necessary.
Shenlong didn't speak, just looked down and watched Yu Youquan perform stand-up comedy.
For what Yu Youquan said, he actually understood it a long time ago.
For his existence, he has long ceased to rely entirely on language.
But.
He didn't stop Yu Youquan's story, just listened quietly.
Slowly, the entire Dragon Cave was full of Yu Youquan's voice.
Of course, the topic has also shifted unconsciously!
From the simplest life to some anecdotes, mixed with anecdotes, and then inexplicably transitioning to card games, and even some absurd jokes.
Later, Yu Youquan even started directly, carved the chessboard and chess pieces on the ground, and talked about the rules of the game by himself.
Shenlong felt very naΓ―ve, and even understood why this little boy suddenly said so much.
But.
He didn't have any anger or anger in his heart, but began to savor it slowly.
I have to say that time is really the most ruthless and sharp knife in the world, even an existence like him wants to go crazy in this endless captivity.
The more this is the case, the more he yearns for the sky and the sea.
What's more, they have all deviated from their essence and become what they imagined in their hearts!
Because of this, everything Yu Youquan said to him seemed to be plated with a layer of golden light.
Play against yourself...... Looks good, too!
Yu Youquan's words seemed to open the door to a new world for him.
Later, Yu Youquan said a few kinds of whimsical ideas and dozens of pastime games, all of which seemed to be quite interesting, which made Shenlong feel more and more curious.
It seems that this talkative teenager once lived in a very colorful world!
A few days later.
After eating the dry food, Yu Youquan, who was really hungry and couldn't stand it, had to leave the Dragon Cave!
On the eve of leaving, Yu Youquan, who had been performing stand-up comedy for several days, heard the voice of Shenlong again for a long time.
"Live well!"
"Okay."
β...... Don't forget your promises! β
"Don't dare to forget!"
Yu Youquan suddenly smiled, very warm and bright.
Although the dragon senior was still silent, Yu Youquan could still feel that the dragon senior was laughing, and there was a kind of relaxation that he had not felt for a long time.
It's all worth it!
By the way, Yu Youquan remembered a very, very important thing, and hurriedly asked, "Senior Long, junior still doesn't know your honorable name?" β
Shenlong was stunned.
Name?
A long silence ensued.
After a long time, Shenlong said silently, "...... I don't have a name! β
Don't have a name?
Yu Youquan was stunned, thought about it, and said boldly, "How about the junior dare to take one for the senior?" β
There was silence again.
"Okay."
Yu Youquan thought for a while and said, "In my memory, dragons generally take 'Ao' as their surname, why don't their predecessors also take Ao as their surname?" β
With Ao as a surname?
Shenlong only sensed it slightly, and immediately realized that this surname was indeed very compatible with his race.
"Yes."
Yu Youquan smiled and continued, "Among the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes, the first place is the 'Qiangua', which is the upper hexagram. The sleepy dragon has good luck in the water, and he can't help but be happy, all the hopes are satisfactory, and the luck is gradually higher in the future...... How about the predecessors just take the word 'dry'? β
Hexagram, trapped dragon gets water, trapped dragon gets water...... Ao Qian?
"Very good, then I will be called Ao Qian in the future!"
After finishing speaking, the dragon senior who obtained the name couldn't help but let out a dragon groan, and the voice contained indescribable joy.
Yu Youquan listened to the dragon's chant, and his heart began to rejoice.
Maybe it's because he's bathed in dragon blood, so he has a natural familiarity and closeness to the dragon's roar!
But no matter what, he's going to leave after all!
