Although Ding Mo did not witness the death of Shenlong for the first time, he also saw Shenlong's huge body turned into jade later, and the battle of the snakes was still fresh in his memory. With a bit of reverence, he slowly lifted the rags, preparing to show the sacredness and majesty of the dragon again.

But when he just lifted a corner, his face changed: "What's the matter?"

He frowned, his right hand quickly lifted all the fabrics covering it, Wang Xuanwei also had his pupils shrunk, and he reached out to take the fabric in Ding Mo's hand, I don't know why, at this moment, the indescribable majestic power on the scales of this divine dragon has all disappeared, and the original dark golden luster has also disappeared, and the entire scale seems to have completely become another thing.

In the midday sun, the scales reflected the white sunlight, and it looked like a beautiful piece of iron with a slight gloss.

"This ......" Wang Xuanwei didn't know what to say, he was shocked in his heart and thought for a moment, and before Ding Mo could stop it, he stretched out his hand and grasped the dragon scale with his meat.

And yet nothing happened.

Those memories that are too large to bear, and the power that is peaceful but infinitely majestic, why are they disappearing at this moment?

He could feel a trace of warmth, but it was because it had been stored in the inner pocket of Ding Mo's chest, and it was left by the heat of Ding Mo's qi and blood all the way, but this was the dragon reverse scale, it stands to reason that no matter how hot Ding Mo's chest was, even if the magma was rolling and flowing on it, there should not be any changes.

Legend has it that it is a completely independent small world, and the heat and cold of the outside world have nothing to do with him.

Obviously, for some reason, the power on the scales had completely disappeared during the seven days he had been running.

The preciousness of the reverse scale lies in the fact that it contains the powerful power of the divine dragon, but when these powers are lost, the reverse scale is even the most vulnerable part of the divine dragon, so the divine dragon regards it as the most important part all its life, and once it is touched, it will be angry.

Now, even if this inverted scale is outwardly intact, but even so, what good can it be?

Zhuge Wanling continued to chew carefully, and said softly: "This is not the reverse scale that the divine dragon faded when he died, and it does not contain the power of the divine dragon's life. Moreover, this reverse scale suppressed the body of the Ye King for a hundred years, and its strength had already declined, and after the death of the divine dragon, this reverse scale naturally lost its power. ”

Wang Xuanwei stared at this reverse scale, his lips moved, but he didn't say a word.

Zhuge Wanling said: "Mr. Wang, if you lose to me, I think the giant can still forgive, but if you give this scale to the giant, I am afraid that he will doubt whether you still have the ability to sit in the position of general." Those old ministers in the Mo family court stared at Mr. Wang with countless pairs of eyes, just waiting for Mr. Wang to make a mistake, and at that time, they would definitely attack you in groups. If Mr. Wang is reprimanded for this, it is not something I am happy to see. ”

Wang Xuan turned his head slowly, he was standing now, condescending, staring coldly at Zhuge Wanling: "Mr. Zhuge is the prime minister of Jing Wu, and he actually accounts for the honor and disgrace of a general of the Mo family compared to me?"

Zhuge Wanling smiled and said, "If I say that I did this because I admired Mr., I think Mr. will definitely not believe it." ”

"You and I are not saints, and if I could, I would really kill you here, and you would have killed me if necessary. Wang Xuan said indifferently, "You and I know this." ”

Zhuge Wanling nodded and replied slowly: "Over the years, although there have been mediocre kings like Li Qiuhuang sitting in the Tang Dynasty, the strong foundation is still there, and it should not be underestimated. And Canghai has been operated by Cao Meng over the years, with tens of thousands of armor soldiers under his command, plus 30,000 tigers and leopards, once dispatched, it will inevitably be like thunder. In comparison, although the Mo family is known as a hundred schools of thought, the actual situation, Master Wang knows better than me. ”

"If there are four points today, I Jing Wu do not seek to dominate the world, but I also hope to survive this catastrophe, in this case, we can't just fight alone. Zhuge Wanling smiled mysteriously and said, "Jing Wu needs the Mo family's friend, and the Mo family also needs Jing Wu, an ally who can contain the Tang State or support the Mo family." ”

Wang Xuanwei listened to Zhuge Wanling's analysis of the current situation, and his eyes showed a little relief when he turned his head sideways. He and Zhuge Wanling have surprisingly the same view of the general trend in the world, if they are not enemies of each other, maybe they will be bosom friends in a tavern who can sit down and have a drink, but now......

"You still haven't answered my question. Mr. Zhuge . Wang Xuan said coldly, "Although the Mo family has always looked down on Jing Wu, who was born in the rivers and lakes, Jing Wu has never been the enemy of the Mo family. Even if it weren't me, the Mo family would unite Jing Wu to resist Tang and Canghai. But Mr. Zhuge is pulling this matter on me, what does it mean?"

Zhuge Wanling nodded calmly and said, "Whether it is an alliance or not, it really has nothing to do with Mr. Wang. But what I want is a strong ally, not a Mohist who has been corrupted by party strife. And the strength of the Mo family needs people like you and Sun Boling who were born in the Zongheng family. ”

Wang Xuanwei listened to Zhuge Wanling's praise, but there was a little sadness in his heart inexplicably. The struggle within the Mo family was a part of what he had been reluctant to mention.

But over the years, the internal struggle of the Mo family has become more and more vigorous, and it seems that it has become more and more difficult for him to avoid this problem, not to mention that this time, if it were not for the internal struggle of the Mo family, it would even affect Sun Boling and his previous deployment. ”

If Sun Boling was not recalled by the giant, but continued to stick to Pengcheng and cooperate closely with him...... Zhuge Wanling will never have such a chance to sit here safely.

He was lonely and angry in his heart, looking at the reverse scales in his hand that had been reduced to iron sheets, a breath of anger surged into his heart, and his hand waved.

There was a "boom".

Ding Mo's eyes flickered, and he felt a strong wind passing by, and suddenly turned his head to look, and on the half-human-high boulder behind him, there was a slight crack, and the Shenlong reverse scales that had lost their luster were deeply stuck inside, revealing only a little black tip.

"Back to the city. Wang Xuan turned his head coldly, not even looking at Zhuge Wanling.

As Wang Xuan pulled the horse's reins slightly, as if he was turning the horse's head with all his strength, and then, he raised his whip and shouted, and the war horse under his crotch seemed to immediately receive his order, spread his four hooves, and galloped all the way.

Fifty black horsemen followed, and the dust raised obscured the sky.

Zhuge Wanling watched from a distance as the dust raised by the black cavalry dissipated, but he still calmly put down his chopsticks and ate food, as if he had no intention of leaving. I don't know how long it took, the gate of the checkpoint of the north-south passage suddenly opened, and he rode out of the gate far away, approaching him quickly.

That horse was obviously a rare divine steed, extremely fast, like a wild dragon on the ground, and it didn't take long for it to reach Zhuge Wanling's face.

Gao Changgong reined in the horse, and the horse domesticated from the wild horse was still a little unruly at the moment, and struggled restlessly a few times. It's just that Gao Changgong sat on its body, but it was as steady as Mount Tai, without the slightest movement.

"Don't make a fuss, I'll give you more beans when the time comes. Gao Changgong slowly calmed the horses, then leaned down, walked to Zhuge Wanling's side, and said with a smile: "What's going on?"

Zhuge Wanling smiled, stretched out his hand and took out a bag embroidered with bluegrass from his arms.

The bloodthirsty scales were lying quietly in it at the moment, but he and Gao Changgong knew very well at this moment that if it weren't for the thick layer of silk, the killing intent in the scales would definitely drain people's blood and take away people's souls in an instant.

"The reason why the Shenlong Reverse Scale fell off back then is probably because of this bloodthirsty reverse scale that was born against the sky, and now the two reverse scales are reunited, and the one that fell off before has a natural fear of the bloodthirsty reverse scale, and it will naturally converge all its edges in front of it......"

Zhuge Wanling stroked the finely embroidered bluegrass on the brocade bag, as if muttering to himself.

"So...... Are you sure that Wang Xuanwei has not been very good-tempered?" Gao Changgong sighed, "If it were me, this is also a dragon's reverse scale, even if you take it home and offer three incense sticks a day, it is also worth showing off, looking at the world, how many people can have such luck to collect a piece of dragon's fading reverse scale?"

Zhuge Wanling smiled: "Wang Xuanwei is a person who attaches far more importance to the country and society than to money, goods and property, since the reverse scale has lost its strength, it is just a thing to play with, and there is no benefit to the country and the people, so he naturally gives it up." ”

"If you continue to say this, I will start to revere Wang Xuanwei's family and country feelings of taking the world as his own responsibility. Gao Changgong waved his hand, took a few steps forward, stood on the big stone that was inlaid with the dragon's scales, smiled, and slowly stretched out his hand.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the afterimage slowly dissipated, and more than a dozen cracks appeared on the stone. And Gao Changgong just held the dragon scales with his thumb and index finger, and was pulling outward.

Then, several larger cracks spread rapidly on the boulder like thunder and lightning, and connected with the small openings that had cracked, and with the sound of "click", the whole boulder had broken into countless fragments, and cracked in front of Gao Changgong.

Gao Changgong turned his head, his hand had already wrapped the scales in torn rags, and saw Zhuge Wanling looking at the mutton soup soiled by the stones in a daze, and said with a smile: "I'll treat you to eat better when you go back." ”

He looked at the cloth bag in his hand again, suddenly smiled, and muttered secretly.

"What kind of expression would he have if he found out that he had traveled thousands of miles and delivered the dragon scales to you with his own hands?"
