This is the noblest life in the realm of three thousand generations, this is the coldest existence in heaven and earth, with indescribable power - except for those great monks who have transcended the mundane, how can a small human being stand in front of this black dragon?

No matter how resolute Chen Changsheng was, he couldn't withstand this coercion from the ancients, he pursed his lips tightly, not letting the sound of his teeth hitting come out, but he couldn't stop his body from trembling, and every bone seemed to be screaming.

He didn't kneel down in front of the black dragon, but he couldn't stand up, he fell directly on the hard and cold ground, and he fell extremely hard, his mind was a little trance, he didn't think about the pain, but kept repeating a few words in his heart.

"The legend is true!"

"There really is a dragon in the palace!"

"A noblest Frost Dragon!"

Before pushing open the heavy stone door, he thought of many possibilities.

He thought that the terrifying coercion behind the stone gate could be the old worshipper in the palace who had been in retreat from the Holy Realm for more than a hundred years, or it could be the cardinal array of this palace, or maybe it might be the bones left by a certain dragon, but he couldn't think of it......

There was a living dragon behind the stone gate!

After ancient times, it was difficult to see the traces of the dragon clan on the continent, those noble and powerful creatures were gradually about to become gods that only existed in books, no one had seen them with their own eyes, Chen Changsheng had imagined the appearance of the dragon countless times, and wanted to see it with his own eyes.

He finally saw it with his own eyes tonight, but he would rather never see it in his life.

The black dragon was floating in the air in front of him at this time, looking at him condescendingly.

The brilliance of the thousand night pearls in the dome was all absorbed by the black scales on its body, and the pure black dragon body was as palpitating as the abyss that came to life, but the real horror was the eyes of the black dragon, which were full of indifference and cruelty.

Chen Changsheng understood the meaning of this look, that is, a human child looking at the ants under the tree.

It is a kind of indifference and brutality that is extraordinarily pure, without reason or reason.

A child can watch the ants under the tree for half an hour, and then trample them to death with the soles of his shoes.

This is the attitude of the higher beings towards the lowly.

Chen Changsheng finally understood the words that Mo Yu said before leaving.

Yes, no one can leave the Tong Palace, because the birth gate of the Tong Palace is under that cold pool.

Hantan is the real Dragon Pool, where a black dragon lives, and any human who encounters it will die.

It's just that Mo Yu didn't expect that he would have the courage, or stupidity, to be able to insist on walking in front of the black dragon.

The frost on Chen Changsheng's eyelashes suddenly fell, like snow on plum petals being blown down by the wind.

There was a breeze in the underground space.

It was the black dragon ready to breathe.

Chen Changsheng knew that he would die the next moment.

When he opened the stone door, he had prepared a lot of countermeasures, even if it was really the retreating elder from the Holy Realm, he didn't think that he would definitely die, he believed that as long as he could communicate, he would be able to change his fate.

But behind the stone gate is a black dragon.

Legend has it that dragons are noble and powerful, but never benevolent.

The dragon does not communicate with humans, disdains to communicate with humans, or at least disdains to communicate with ordinary humans like him.

He was not prepared for this.

He had been preparing for death for years, but now that death was really coming, he realized that he was still not ready.

It turns out that death is something that cannot be prepared.

The underground space was dead silent, and the light of the night pearl fell on him like snow.

He was a little cold, and suddenly felt very tired, knowing that it was futile to do anything, so he stopped struggling to try to stand up, and no longer even thinking about what was going to happen, he raised his head and looked at the terrifying dragon head like a mountain in the air, calm and relieved.

"It seems that what Master said is not wrong, my life is really bad. ”

He didn't know if this black dragon could understand human language, but in his mind, such a noble creature, even if he could, disdain to listen, so he said to the black dragon what he had never said to people.

"I'm sick and can't be cured. ”

"I won't live to be twenty years old. ”

"Master is the best doctor in the entire continent, and my medical skills are good, but we can't cure them. ”

"This disease is worse than a terminal illness, so it's not a disease, it's a fate.

"My life is not good. ”

"After coming to Kyoto, I spent a lot of effort to finally enter the National Education College, and I had the qualification to participate in the Great Imperial Examination, although it was still far from Lingyan Pavilion, but after all, I took the first step there, and then I met Luoluo, and I thought that my life was getting better. ”

"I didn't expect to see you tonight. ”

"My life, it turns out that it's still not good. ”

Chen Changsheng's face was a little pale, it was frozen by frost and severe cold, and it had nothing to do with fear.

He was now fearless, even in the face of a legendary brutal black dragon.

He no longer cared if the black dragon could understand his words, and whether he was willing to listen to himself.

He only knew that he was about to die, so if he didn't say these words, he would never have a chance to say them again.

"It is said that fate is destined, no matter how bad it is, it is impossible to change, but I am not reconciled. ”

A force that didn't know where it came from supported him to stand up, and he looked up at the beautiful night pearls in the dome, squinting slightly, like a poor young beast looking at the first rays of the morning sun, full of yearning and joy.

"I want to live, I want to live past twenty years old, then a hundred years old, even five hundred years old, eight hundred years old, the longer I live, the longer I live, the better I can live forever...... But first, I had to live past the age of twenty, so I lived very carefully. ”

"I go to bed early and get up early every day, I exercise every day, I never be picky eaters, but I never overeat, I don't eat oil and salt, that's not about character, but that kind of food is healthy, I follow the requirements of the medical book, I use a small scale to measure meat and vegetables to eat, never too troublesome, until the age of twelve, all these become energy. ”

"I cherish my time and devote all my time to studying and cultivating, I want to be exposed to the most wonderful wisdom as much as possible before the age of 20, and I want to change my destiny through meditation, so that after the age of 20, I will have the opportunity to see more wonderful scenery. ”

He looked at the black dragon and said: "Yes, everything I do, all the rules I set for myself, are for living, the most important thing in life is to live, I am willing to pay all the price for this, I am desperately living." ”

The most important thing to live is to be alive, and for this reason I am desperately living - the cold underground space, the dark night in the distance, the fading light of the dome, the boy before the black dragon, the calm and infinite sad words, anyone will probably be moved.

The black dragon's eyes were still cold and cruel when it looked at the boy, perhaps because it didn't understand human language, but more often it didn't care, and the ant waved its forelimbs angrily and tragically at the branches, which only looked funny or ridiculous to the children who observed it.

Chen Changsheng didn't care about the black dragon's reaction anymore, he just wanted to talk, in the last moment of his life.

"It's really too difficult to change my fate, I've been really tired all these years, but no matter how tired I am, I want to live, because the pig's head meat in Xining Town is really delicious when cut into thin slices and dipped in red oil and rock salt, because there are really a lot of interesting and interesting knowledge in the book, because life is really beautiful. ”

"I don't want to die, but I can't guarantee that I will live past the age of twenty, more precisely, I don't have any confidence at all, I don't want the little girl who sent me a bamboo dragonfly to become a widow, so I came to Kyoto and wanted to get out of the marriage, and what happened?"

"Everyone who knew me thought I was precocious, not like a fourteen-year-old, and they said I was steady, but they didn't want to think about it...... I am only five years away from death, I am in my youth, but I have been half buried in the loess, can I not be stable? But how can I be willing!?"

In the past few years, Chen Changsheng has paid great attention to controlling his emotions, because great sorrow and joy are not good for his health, but now everything is gone, so he is no longer calm, he looks at the black dragon or this world and shouts angrily.

"I don't want to die. ”

"But now I'm going to die. ”

"I'm sad. ”

Chen Changsheng was very sad, his eyes were slightly red, he thought he would cry, but he found that he had been controlling his emotions and refused to cry all these years, so that he could no longer remember how to cry, so he was even more sad, and then unimaginably calmed down.

"Xie Lu Xie you didn't eat me in one bite, although this may not be your true thoughts, but you let me finish saying this, so I want Xie Lu to thank you. But I really want to live, so even if it's ridiculous, allow me to fight you the last time. ”

After saying the last sentence, he raised the short sword in his hand and faced the black dragon.

He silently thought in his heart: Death, come!

Let's fight it out.

Just like in the past years.

The black dragon slowly came towards him, the cold hurricane echoing through the vast underground space, its body was so large that the slightest movement was enough to change the color of the heavens and the earth.

An unimaginable cold befell Chen Changsheng's body.

Frost hung on his eyelashes again, and the blood in his body seemed to be frozen.

Death is at hand.

He was calmer than ever, even relaxed.

The shadow of death and the terrifying pressure that had been following him since the age of ten suddenly disappeared.

He was lighter and more comfortable than ever, and he felt that his body was much lighter, without any pressure, and it turned out to be such a beautiful feeling.

He finally realized that how to overcome the fear of death is death itself.

He laughed, the frost on his eyelashes spreading like white flowers.

Teacher, did you see that?

I'm going to change my fate.

You said I would die when I was twenty years old.

Now I am fifteen years old, and I am going to die.

Fate, it turns out, is not invincible.
