Chapter Twenty-Four: The Dragon and the Darklanders

After Xu Zhiyi's small figure disappeared, Wu Ling looked in the direction of Mohe.

At this time, the lights were already lit up below the nine spans of the Mohe River.

The bottom of the arch bridge is smoothed and flattened with white plaster, and under the illumination of the light, it resembles a glowing wall. Reflected on the river, from the Tyumen Bridge, it looks like a crescent moon.

Looking from north to south, across nine ditches to across one ditch, the light and shadow reflected on the river surface by the bottom wall of the bridge are getting bigger and bigger. It looks like the moon changes from the first to the fifteenth day of the new year.

Looking at the scenery of the Mo River, Wuling couldn't help but get another name for the Mo River.

Trapped Dragon Canal.

If the Mohe River is a dragon, then the nine spans on the Mohe River, like shackles, are buckled on the dragon's body.

Thinking of today's various experiences, Wu Ling began to doubt his initial thoughts, "Could it be that everything Zhu Chijing's predecessors said is true?"

However, thinking that he would leave Fufeng Town tomorrow, Wu Ling didn't think much about it.

Besides, even if there is a dragon in the Mohe River, and the people who died on the edge of the Mohe River were done by the real dragon, he is helpless.

Retracting his thoughts, Wu Ling walked back to the inn.

On the route back to the inn in Wuling, there are several old houses that no one lives in, close to the Mohe River.

Because no one lives, it is pitch black near the old house, and you can't see your fingers.

At this moment, a black figure darker than the night walked through the path at the entrance of the old mansion, came to the edge of the Mo River, stopped, and looked at the distance by the railing, as if waiting for someone.

After waiting for a while, there was still no other figure near the old mansion.

The time of the half-pillar of incense passed, and the people waiting on the shore frowned.

The person he was waiting for, or the "friend" from the bottom of the water who was waiting for him, did not come as promised, which made him a little angry. This is not the first time his underwater "friend" has done so. And over the years, his "friend" has become more and more excessive, and even exceeded the original agreement.

Just as the figures on the shore were about to leave, the water surface of the Mo River rippled in circles.

Two red clusters of light, surfaced.

A huge monster head, protruding from the bottom of the water.

When the water on the skull flowed down, the appearance of the skull was also revealed in the world.

It was the head of a dragon.

The figure on the Mo River sneered: "I thought you weren't coming!"

The dragon on the river opened his mouth, spat out his mouth, and said, "I'm not here, why should I be so angry? You have been waiting for more than a hundred years, is it still that day?"

The figure in the darkness said angrily: "Since you Long Li know that it is not such a bad day, why did you still suck a person on the side of the five ditch tonight, you are not afraid of causing something? You also know that this place is mysterious, and the strength that everyone can use is almost the same, and anyone can kill the other. ”

Long Li said disdainfully: "After tomorrow, what can they do to me?"

The figure in the darkness said: "Aren't you afraid that the guardian of this place will guard and steal himself? If he makes a move, you and me and all the outsiders will not be enough for him to kill alone! Moreover, the heaven and earth are so big, and there are countless capable people, just like the martial arts shattered more than ten years ago. Who knows if there are any such people in Fufeng Town? Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, if you don't change your arrogant fault, one day it will hurt you!"

Long Li said with a smile: "If I am arrogant, I would have killed all the people in the town and directly sucked Wenyun, why should I be so submissive and hide." ”

The figure in the darkness sneered, "You can try it!"

If it weren't for the need for this guy to fight against the sword spirit and act as a substitute for the dead ghost, he wouldn't bother to cooperate with this kind of brainless guy.

In a place like Fufeng Town, where humanity is prosperous, after staying for nearly a hundred years, I don't necessarily have a long brain, no wonder I have been showing off my ancestral dragon blood, claiming to have atavistic phenomena.

Long Li said: "If this place is not an ethereal place, what if you try it!"

He is now in the strange state of the dragon's blood body, as long as he devours the cultural fortune here, he can evolve into a real dragon without going through the Jiaojiao and the thunder tribulation. Moreover, with the warmth of Wenyun, there is no need to worry about the backlash of Jiao's nature, and after turning into a human, he will return to the violent state when he turns back into a dragon body.

This is one of the reasons why his father sent him here in the first place.

"Ignorant bugs!"

The figure in the darkness sneered in his heart, if he was outside, he would have pinched this guy to death with one hand.

It doesn't matter if you're the sister-in-law or illegitimate son of the dragon boss.

The figure in the dark didn't bother to talk nonsense with this guy, so he changed the topic and said: "I have already laid out the formation, as long as you don't make too much movement when you absorb the human luck of the people who participated in the demon catching conference tomorrow, with the mysterious hidden ability of Sanli Qiankun, the mountain guards can't find it in a day or two." ”

"During this period, I hope you can directly break through the formation of the little girl who gathered half of the Wenyun in Fufeng Town, as you said, and then suck all of her Wenyun. Otherwise, everything you have done before will be in vain. ”

Long Li said confidently: "Don't worry, as long as the people who come to tomorrow's demon catching conference will have more cultural luck than I have smoked over the years, there is absolutely no problem." The point is, have you found a hiding place for tears? If not, isn't it all in vain?"

Long Li has been cooperating with the people on the shore for decades.

Over the years, the two have learned that the "Poetry Immortal Sword Chapter" and "Sword Immortal Poetry Scroll" left by the ancient immortals are in the underground of Tianxing Tower.

The reason why neither of them has yet to get these two opportunities is that in addition to absorbing Wenyun from people, they need to avoid the attention of the mountain guards, that is, the guardians of this place, and the other point is that they have not found the hiding place of the sword spirit of the sword left by the admirer of the immortal.

Tears is the name of the sword spirit.

Over the years, tears have appeared several times, but each time they mysteriously disappear without people's inadvertent eyes, coming and going without a trace, leaving no trace.

If nothing else, tears are the "key" to open the secret of the Heavenly Star Tower.

The figure in the darkness laughed, "I already know where she is." ”

Long Li said curiously: "For more than 100 years, the entire Fufeng Town has been searched, but no hiding place has been found, why haven't you found it for half a month now, where is she hiding?"

The figure in the darkness on the shore said: "The most dangerous place is the safest. ”

Long Li asked, "Won't it be in the Heavenly Star Tower?"

The figure in the darkness shook his head and said, "For Tearburn, the Heavenly Star Tower is indeed dangerous, but it is not the most dangerous place. ”

Long Li thought for a while, but he didn't expect it to be, "Where is that?"

The figure in the darkness had long known that Long Li would definitely not be able to guess.

If this simple-minded and well-limbed guy guessed it, then his more than 100 years of painstaking meditation would not be in vain.

The figure in the darkness pointed in the direction of crossing the nine ditches and said, "It's in the dragon slaying sword before crossing the nine ditches!"

"How is this possible!"

Long Li was shocked like a wooden dragon carved out of wood, with a stunned expression.

The Trapped Dragon Canal is the place where the ancient immortals imprisoned the true dragon.

The black water at its outlet, the white water of the Tyumen River, the black and white yin and yang formed, and the civil and military luck of the Tianxing Tower, together constitute the feng shui bureau of Fufeng Town.

The nine arched bridges on the Trapped Dragon Canal, together with the Dragon Slaying Sword, are the shackles of the Trapped Dragon.

And the "Hanging Sword Order" is a seal of shackles.

The years have flown by, and the other eight-span dragon slashing swords outside the nine ditches have been changed several times, but the dragon slaying sword under the nine ditches has lasted for hundreds of years. It wasn't until a few days ago that the old sword strip disappeared, and it was replaced today.

The first batch of dragon slaying swords, after falling naturally, the shackles of the shackles will disappear, and they will not restrict the dragon's activities in the water.

Before the first batch of dragon slaying swords on the trapped dragon canal naturally fell, the dragon inside could not get out of the trapped dragon canal.

When Long Li was sent to the trapped dragon ditch, the first batch of dragon slashing swords from the first ditch to the seventh ditch had already fallen, so at that time, the place south of the eight ditch was his place of activity.

More than a hundred years ago, the dragon slaying sword that crossed the eight ditches also fell naturally.

In the activity area of Long Li, the boundary extends from across the eighth ditch to the nine ditches.

Therefore, the depth of the bridge across the nine ditches has become the most common place for Long Li to stay, and the dragon sword under the nine ditches hangs above his head every day, and he can see it when he looks up.

But in this way, he never found the existence of tears.

The black figure said, "So, the more dangerous the place, the safer." ”

Long Li wondered: "Except for the fact that tears can be attached to people for a short time, they can only survive in the ethereal sword. The old sword strip under the Nine Grooves, I've seen it before, is not an ethereal sword, how can she be in it?"

The black figure shook his head and said, "As for why, I don't know. ”

Long Li asked, "That sword didn't fall into the trapped dragon canal, it won't be for you to take it, right?"

"That's right!"

The black figure nodded and said, "It's in the Three Miles now." ”

Long Li hesitated for a moment and said, "This dragon slaying sword didn't fall naturally, but you let people do it, it will be fine, right?"

The black figure said, "If something happens, can you still get out of the trapped dragon canal?"

Long Li thought for a moment, it seemed that this was the case.

Over the years, the black figure has asked people to get rid of the dragon slaying sword across the nine ditches three times, but they have not succeeded, and this time it can be done, most likely because the dragon slaying sword is not far from the time when it will fall naturally.

Thinking of this, Long Li was relieved.

After all, the trapped dragon canal was arranged by the immortals, and he didn't want anything to happen. If there is really something, it must be a big trouble, even involving life and death.

In ancient times, the dragon who was trapped in the dragon canal by the immortals, although he was born with a python, but with his own strength, he turned against the sky and became a dragon, even to the point that the entire dragon clan was afraid. But even so, he was suppressed by the immortals in the trapped dragon canal, and finally died of old age in the hands of the years.

Immortals, the existence of all things in the world.

It's just that for some reason, the immortal, who is known as immortal, has not survived until now. To this day, no one in the world has ever seen his true face, and it is only circulated in books.

Because of Long Li's contemplation, the trapped dragon canal became silent.

After a while, Long Li broke the silence again, "There was an abnormal movement in the Sky Star Tower tonight, what is the situation?"

The man in the dark said: "It is a young man in red, and his mouth has a famous saying, which has caused the induction of the 'Sword Immortal Poetry Scroll' under the Tianxing Tower. ”

Long Li had a bad premonition and said, "Is it the kid who is reading the sword order across the nine ditches today?"

The man in the darkness nodded and said, "Exactly!"

Long Li said: "What is the origin of this kid, why haven't I seen it, it shouldn't be from Fufeng Town, right?"

The man in the dark said, "It's not clear yet, but it's certain that it's not from Fufeng Town." ”

Hearing this, Long Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If it is a person from Fufeng Town, who can cause the reaction of the "Sword Immortal Poetry Scroll" under the Tianxing Tower, he must have a lot of literary luck on his body, and such a person, they have not found it, then it can be shown that someone is secretly arranging and planning deeper than them.

Long Li said: "It shouldn't be easy for him to cause the induction of the Sword Immortal Poetry Scroll. In order not to cause any accidents, I think you might as well kill him!"

The man in the dark laughed: "Are you afraid that he has read the sword hanging order, and he is a popular scholar, and you are afraid that he will speak out in the future, which will be a threat to you, right?"

Long Li then laughed and said: "An ordinary man, why be afraid? Don't say that he is the saint, what can he do if he recites the sword order? Any laws and rules between heaven and earth are only useful to the weak." But you, why do you keep killing the red clothes? Don't talk to me, they are investigating my consumption of Wenyun, and you are afraid that I will be exposed, so you killed them. ”

The figure in the darkness frowned, pretended to be nothing, and said, "Otherwise?"

Long Li said with a smile: "If you want to kill them, when will you not kill them, why do you want to kill them when they wear red clothes and enter the cave room? Why, is it because you have a crush on someone's bride? As far as I know, there is a tradition in Fufeng Town, that is, the clothes of every groom official will be embroidered with magpies on the back, and the people who help the wind call this custom, 'Red clothes thorn magpies, tie the knot with one heart.'" ’。 ”

"Don't think I don't know you're a fortune teller. You fortune tellers, you are not afraid of the heavens and the earth, but you are afraid of the strange words of the people, and you are afraid of a word becoming a prophecy. ”

People in the dark, hidden in the dark, hide their murderous intentions.

He didn't expect this simple-minded guy to know this, "Could it be that in addition to himself, this guy also has deals with other people?"

With Long Li's mind, it is impossible to know this.

The red-clothed thorn magpie ties the knot concentrically.

These words were a knot in his heart after he came here.

His name has a finch that is homophonic to magpie, and the knot is the same as death knot in his native dialect.

So "the red-clothed thorn magpie ties the knot with one heart." In the eyes of the people of Fufeng Town, these words are many common sayings for happy events, which means festivity, but for him, it may be a proverb.

The people in the darkness didn't notice Wu Ling, they didn't smile, and said, "Do you believe what you say?"

"Anyone?"

On the edge of the Mo River, Wu Ling, who thought he had taken the wrong path, raised his head.

Long Li's figure in the darkness faintly reflected in Wu Ling's eyes.

"That's ...... Dragons?"

Wuling's pupils were extremely constricted, and his worldview was subverted in his mind.

Long Li didn't notice Wu Ling, and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, it's not for me to have the final say, it needs to be tested by reality." If you're okay, I'll go. ”

The man in the dark said: "In order to avoid any accidents, tomorrow after you finish sucking the Wenyun of the people in front of the Tianxing Tower, you will go and suck the Wenyun of that little girl." After that, you and I, fight for a stick of incense and grab the tears. ”

Long Li said: "Then let's do it!"

Wu Ling came back to his senses, and didn't think much about Long Li's intention to talk to people, so he didn't say a word, and ran away.
