Chapter 19: The Candle Dragon

The past is picturesque and vivid.

Xiao Yu shuddered.

Here, it's colder than before......

Xiao Yu tightened the windbreaker he was wearing and left the library.

There was a room at the end of the corridor on the same floor, and the light shone through the hidden door in the hallway, and there was a small sound in it.

Xiao Yu pushed the door in, and the old man was really inside.

The old man's name is Qiu Shoucang, and he is the teacher who teaches the students theoretical courses in the organization, and he is also one of the few people in the organization who can make Xiao Yu remember.

The old man's slightly fat figure was slumped in front of the messy desk, and his silver hair was tightly combed into a bun and bulging at the back of his head. His dry fingers were turning the pages of the book, and that's where the thin rustling sounds came from.

The old man's eyes were focused on the book, and he didn't notice Xiao Yu's footsteps entering the house.

Xiao Yu walked up to the old man and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Teacher......"

The old man was startled, turned his head, and the smile on his face was as kind as in his memory: "You kid, you always appear suddenly to scare people." ”

Xiao Yu smiled awkwardly - to say that before, he couldn't scare this old man by relying on the teleportation table legs in the library; But now, I didn't want to scare him, but he said I scared him......

"You're just in time, help me see what this passage means......" Qiu Shoucang turned the book to Xiao Yu's side and pointed to a passage in the book.

Xiao Yu leaned down, carefully read the obscure words, and exchanged their opinions with the teacher.

The scene in front of me is just like the past.

In a trance, Xiao Yu seemed to have returned to the past, discussing books with this lovely old man that others disdained, sometimes chatting with eyebrows and laughing, and sometimes arguing with red faces......

But the old man spoke more slowly, his back bent even more, and his eyes became cloudy.

He's really old.

It's so old that it hurts......

Qiu Shoucang looked at Xiao Yu's windbreaker, and there was a trace of concern in his eyes: "Who are you?" Just got back from a mission? ”

Xiao Yu shook his head slightly and did not speak.

Qiu Shoucang hurriedly slapped his mouth a few times with a palm like dead wood: "Look at my memory, I forgot it, you are no longer on a mission......

Xiao Yu was silent, what happened between himself and the organization, it was impossible for this old man not to know, he didn't mention it, he didn't ask, it just didn't happen.

Now that the point is broken, it is two opposing positions.

"There are some things I don't care about." Qiu Shoucang seemed to see through Xiao Yu's thoughts, and suddenly laughed, but there was some sadness hidden in the depths of his smile, "As long as there are books to read and students to teach, I will ......be satisfied."

Xiao Yu also laughed with him, but the smile was stiff: "To tell the truth, I went back to the organization this time because my wife disappeared......"

"Oh? Are you all married? "Compared with the things in the organization, Qiu Shoucang seems to care more about Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu nodded, and said straight to the point: "My wife's name is Xia Buhe, and she looks almost exactly like a girl named Yang Bing in the organization, and this girl named Yang Bing seems to be involved in the struggle within the organization......"

"So you suspect that your wife's disappearance has something to do with the organization?"

"Not doubt, it's conviction." A chill rose between Xiao Yu's eyebrows.

Qiu Shoucang frowned: "Do you have evidence?" ”

"A trap-like quest has inexplicably appeared in the city where I live; And this trap is aimed at Yang Bing. While I don't know exactly what's going on inside the organization right now, I don't believe it's all just a coincidence......"

Yang Bing...... Shabho...... Yang Bing...... Summer...... Yang ...... "Qiu Shoucang seemed to think of something, glanced at Xiao Yu, and stopped again.

Xiao Yu hurriedly asked, "What did the teacher think of?" ”

"How much energy does Shabho's body have?"

Xiao Yu said bluntly: "A lot of ......"

"How much is a lot?"

"The energy in her body hasn't fully awakened yet, but in terms of the amount she has shown now, it's already more than me......"

Xiao Yu's words didn't seem to shock Qiu Shoucang, but nodded again and again: "That's right, that's right......"

"If I'm not mistaken, Xia Buhe's mother is called Xia Yuanmei, right?"

"Yes......" It was Xiao Yu who was shocked, and the facial features on his face seemed to be asking how you know.

Qiu Shoucang's face seemed to suddenly gather black clouds: "Yang Bing is Yang Xuanlin's daughter, and your wife's mother, Xia Yuanmei, she and Yang Xuanlin were once recognized as an immortal couple in the organization. ”

"So, Yang Bing and Xia Buhe are sisters?"

"It's not just sisters, they're twins." The black clouds on Qiu Shoucang's face became thicker and thicker, "Before I talk about the twins, I have to tell you one thing first. More than twenty years ago, Yang Xuanlin once asked me how to seal the giant demon. I'm a person, I can't keep my mouth shut when I discuss these issues, and I accidentally leaked a forbidden technique with him......"

"What forbidden arts?"

He glanced at Xiao Yu, and was about to continue, but after a sigh, he changed the subject: "After he knew about this forbidden technique, he went to the sea with Xia Yuanmei to Jidong Island. Subsequently, there was a legend in the world that sealed the candle dragon......"

"In other words, my father-in-law and mother-in-law sealed one of the four ancient divine beasts?" Xiao Yu was shocked, and remembered the legend about sealing the candle dragon, "That forbidden technique is to enhance energy by burning life force?" ”

"Burning life to gain strength is also a forbidden technique, but it's not the one I told him about." Qiu Shoucang held on to the table and stood up tremblingly, "After Yang Xuanlin came back, the people of the organization also went to Jidong Island, and there was almost no energy left on the island. ”

Xiao Yu listened silently, he knew that Qiu Shoucang hadn't finished speaking, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Qiu Shoucang took out a delicate crystal ball from the bookcase, and in the crystal ball was a red scorpion the size of a finger, frozen at the moment when the tail thorn lit up.

"You've dealt with monsters too, and you should know two ways to deal with monsters - sealing monsters is like this, you need to freeze them permanently and enter an indefinite sleep; And killing the demon beast is to destroy the body of the demon beast. ”

"Sealing requires the sealer's energy value to be higher than that of the demon beast, and killing is not only a comparison of ability values, but also requires strong combat power. For a god-level creature like the Candle Dragon, even if Yang Xuanlin consumed all his life, it would be impossible for him to meet either of these two conditions. ”

Xiao Yu pondered for a while: "It is precisely because he has done the impossible that the sealing candle dragon has become a legend." ”

Qiu Shoucang put down the crystal ball and waved his hand, signaling Xiao Yu to be patient: "If he really completed the killing, it would be impossible for the vast energy in the candle dragon's body to dissipate so quickly; If he completes the seal and only puts the candle dragon to sleep permanently, it is even more impossible to detect the residual energy. ”

Xiao Yu recalled a black Jiao that he had killed, and the energy emitted by it after its death did permeate for two months.

"If the candle dragon is sealed and transferred out of the Extreme East Island, it is normal that the energy cannot be detected."

"Nope! It is impossible for the candle dragon to be transferred, and the fact that the people of the organization can still set foot on the Far East Island means that its body is still there. ”

Qiu Shoucang's palm gushed out of energy, and with a swipe in front of him, a nautical chart was projected into the air.

"This Far East Island, as well as these islands and reefs in this sea, are just the dorsal fin of the candle dragon protruding from the sea......
