Chapter 13: The Dragon of the Cold Pool
A few days was still a long time for Qin Luo, but it was difficult for Yun Ziyue, who lived in the Star Picking Pavilion, to sit still.
After that visit to the master, she never saw the head of Shen again, the letter in her hand was not handed to the master, the things that her father explained were not completed, and the question of the Sword Sect did not mention the marriage.
Ruofeng has been here once, but she can stay for no more than a stick of incense, although she is still polite and gentle, but she feels that the intimacy between the two is missing, Shen Ruofeng ignores her softness and coquettishness, and doesn't even look at her carefully dressed makeup and skirt.
In addition to being bored, she asked the Sword Sect to move around at will, and when she was asked, she hinted that she was a particularly important friend of Shen Ruofeng, and she came here to meet the head of Shen, and people who didn't know naturally guessed that she had a special relationship with Shen Ruofeng.
There were also some female disciples who came to see her, and finally ran away without shame, most of the men in the world love beautiful women, so they asked the Sword Sect, a group of female cultivators who were gray and couldn't dress up and only knew the sword, how could they compare with her.
Yun Ziyue looked at herself reflected in the water, and became more and more confident.
There is a huge lake on the left side of Shaoyang Peak, the name is Hantan, Hantan is more than a thousand zhang deep, much bigger than Shaoyang Peak, it is said that Tan Di is cold and piercing, so it gets this name.
It is said that there is a dragon sleeping in the cold pool, a dragon whose soul is lost after a failed escape.
Only the gentleman of the academy would occasionally talk about it, and the disciples would only listen to a legend, and the gentleman told them not to go to the cold pool at will, if they were discovered, they would be severely punished, and if something went wrong on the lake, they should immediately report to the sect.
The cold pool looks peaceful, but in fact, the lake is cold, and there is no cultivation in the foundation building period to dive at all, and over time, the disciples will only take a few glances at the bridge by the cold pool with curiosity at most, to see if there is really a legendary dragon.
It's just that the disciples of Shaoyang Peak haven't seen it, and neither have the Jindan monks who taught them swordsmanship.
It's rare to come here on weekdays.
Qin Luo was talking to Qin Yun about going out to practice, and the two of them were coming out of Shaoyang Peak, and they didn't go to a crowded place, so they walked to the woods near Hantan, and watched the scene of hundreds of birds flying in the lake from a distance.
Qin Yun lowered his head and muttered, "I can't bear to ...... Sister Luo"
"Well, Xiao Yunzi has grown up, I have to learn to be independent, and besides, I won't have long to go on this trip, and when I come back, maybe I will be able to cultivate like you." β
"Then Sister Aluo should come back well, don't let me worry. Qin Yun knew her determination to cultivate.
Qin Luo snorted and touched the child's head.
At this time, I heard a hoarse scream, and I saw a person standing on the wooden bridge by the lake, it was Yun Ziyue, looking at the lake with a frightened face.
Qin Luo found that the problem was wrong, and asked Qin Yun to find the uncles of Shaoyang Peak to come over, but he didn't rush over, hiding behind a tree and watching the changes.
Yun Ziyue was covered in cold sweat, she didn't dare to move, she was admiring the reflection in the lake, she found that the quiet bottom of the lake had turned black, and she was a little upset, so she threw the branch she picked into the water.
Outcome......
In the darkness, a huge vertical pupil suddenly opened, glowing with a cold light.
Yun Ziyue only felt as if she was on the edge of the abyss.
With her scream, her red golden pupils trembled suddenly, and Yun Ziyue immediately covered her mouth to keep herself from making a sound, but she was too scared, her body was trembling uncontrollably, at this time, she had completely forgotten that she was a monk in the late stage of foundation building, she only felt that she was as small as an ant, and she would be swallowed by the behemoth in front of her at any time.
Qin Luo found that whether it was on the ice pool or in the woods near the lake, there were no birds or beasts, even the wind had stopped, and the clouds on the horizon were converging towards this side layer upon layer, blocking the sunlight tightly for a while.
"System, what's going on now?"
γDragonγ
Dragon???
A giant dragon's head quietly emerged from the water, the pitch-black scales glowed with cold light, the two whiskers were windless, and a pair of emotionless dragon eyes stared at the people on the bridge.
Qin Luo was not far away, and saw that the dragon had white dragon horns, one of which stood on its head with great fanfare, and the other one was only half left, with black scars left on it after burning.
It's really a dragon, it should be the dragon that Mr. said was sleeping under the cold pool.
"Hoo ......"
The black dragon exhaled from his nose and drenched Yun Ziyue with water, and Yun Ziyue's frightened legs became weak and collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this person's cowardly performance, the black dragon felt very bored, his nose moved, looked in the direction of Qin Luo, raised the dragon's head, and exposed half of the dragon's body to the water, like a small mountain.
Qin Luo noticed the black dragon's gaze coming sideways, and only then did she realize that something was wrong, she should have left with Qin Yun just now.
"Is it too late for me to run?"
[Locked...... Detected that the host's legs are weak, and the system is powerless.
It is useless to regret it, Qin Luo's hands trembled, the first time he faced the dragon, it was still a legendary artifact, how could he not be afraid, the black dragon locked her breath, waved the dragon's tail, and turned around.
The dragon's tail splashed a huge wave, and Yun Ziyue, who was sitting on the ground, was directly knocked out by the wave.
It's also possible to be stunned.
Although the black dragon couldn't see Qin Luo, it could make it feel a familiar aura in front of it in its sleep, its memory had long been blurred, and it stayed here just because there was a reassuring aura here.
Seeing the black dragon stretch out its huge dragon head, leaned in front of the woods and moved its nose, Qin Luo held the Taiwei Sword in his hand, swallowed his saliva, he couldn't run away, the dragon body exposed by the black dragon was almost half a Shaoyang Peak, even if she was fast, she couldn't run it, unless it was the imperial sword.
But she didn't have spiritual power, and she didn't know how to resist the sword at all.
Right now!
Several sword lights came in the air, and the huge black dragon seemed to be more and more impatient, with a threatening roar in its throat, its tail exposed in the water, and another tail flick, and the wooden bridge seemed to be about to be broken apart by the waves.
"Venerable Dragon, be merciful. "Shen Xuye has not arrived, and the voice has arrived.
When the black dragon heard the voice, his whole body swam and looked up at the few people who were coming in the air.
A little confused, the voice is somewhat familiar......
Several figures came one after another, one of them fell in the woods, and Yu Heng appeared in front of Qin Luo dressed in white, holding up a protective shield to block the lake water brought by the black dragon for her.
Qin Luo leaned against the tree and held on to prevent himself from falling to the ground: "Master." β
It's really scary......
It felt like the dragon's breath was about to squirt in her face.
Yu Heng saw her panic, took the Taiwei sword in her hand, and hugged her into his arms: "It's okay, Ah Luo." β
Surrounded by a warm body, Qin Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned softly on Yu Heng's body: "Master, there is another person, on the bridge." β
"Well, that's the spirit beast of the sect, it doesn't hurt people, don't worry. Yu Heng picked Qin Luo up, and Edgeworth left the woods.
The black dragon, who was surrounded by several people, felt the disappearance of that breath, and became even more irritable, and the water raised was more than a zhang high, but fortunately, Shen Xuye saw Yun Ziyue's figure, held her up with spiritual power, and sent her back to Shen Ruofeng and the others who came later.
"His Holiness woke up a little early this time, I don't know what His Holiness needs?" asked a Dao Master with white hair behind Shen Xuye.
This person is the Great Elder in the late stage of refining the void, and he is also the oldest one, and he is familiar with the black dragon.
Hearing the familiar voice, the black dragon really stopped being angry.
"Familiar, awake. The black dragon stared at his big eyes with some grievances, looking at the Great Elder.
Everyone didn't quite understand what he meant, and there were no dragons left in the sect on the side of the dragon clan, so it was difficult to deal with it for a while.
"Does His Holiness think that person is familiar?" the head of the sect pointed to Yun Ziyue, who was still unconscious.
The black dragon glanced at the side very face-savingly, and then exhaled slowly: "Noisy"
When Shen Ruofeng and the others were stared at by the black dragon with those big eyes, they were chilled, but the result didn't last long, and the black dragon's eyes let them know that they were disgusted.
"Sleepy...... Tired ......"
