Chapter 3: The Dragon-Blood Patriarch
Chapter 3: The Dragon-Blood Patriarch
Xin Hanyi really only said three words. But these three words sounded like a thunderbolt on a sunny day to the other six people on the spot, and they were stunned one by one.
Two lines of tears slipped down the face of the black wood boy, and the fox tail took a deep breath and said: "Young man, please come with me and go to see the dragon blood patriarch!"
The four elders also recovered from the shock: How is it possible, the sacred relics of our clan have been lost for nearly a thousand years, how could it be on this young man of unknown origin, how could Lord Foxtail easily take him to see the patriarch. If there is fraud, aren't you afraid that it will be too late? Why do you trust an outsider so much?
Foxtail looked at the four elders of the clan, and said with a firm look in his eyes: I don't know why, I just believe in him, and I also believe in my own feelings, what do you say, Heimu, do you feel it? The young man raised his head, tears had already overflowed his dark face, and said solemnly: Yes, I also feel it, and I also believe in him, teacher.
Seeing this, the four elders were silent and stepped aside.
Xin Shaoxia, please come with me. Foxtail walked at the front to lead the way, followed by Heimu, followed by Xin Hanyi, and the four elders walked last. Xin Hanyi saw that there was no palace pavilion here, not even a thatched house, and knew that there must be an enchantment to seal the passage to the Qingling Holy Land. Xin Hanyi saw that there was nothing peculiar here, nodded and said: Lord Foxtail, just rest assured.
Hearing this, the fox tail walked to the front of the two trees and recited a mantra in his mouth, sealed with one hand, and suddenly shot out a green light from between the two trees to wrap several people, Xin Hanyi only felt a flower in front of him, as if he hadn't moved. But the scene in front of him made him have to believe that he was already in this holy place of pure spirit in this instant.
Kuroki leaned in front of Xin Hanyi and whispered: This is where I must protect with my life. Foxtail looked at his beloved disciple and said, "Yes, since the moment I was born, the belief of protecting this Pure Spirit Holy Land has been engraved in the depths of my soul.
Xin Hanyi carefully looked at this long-awaited holy place, all the houses were built according to the trees, and a few kept the trees in their original state, as he grew, and never imposed external interference. Xin Hanyi looked far away, and he didn't see half of the figure with all his eyesight: The people of the Deadwood Clan are all born of wood spirits, and they are hidden in this pure spirit holy land and are integrated with the trees, unless the realm is far beyond them, or it is really difficult for those born with different pupils to find them. Slowly closing his eyes and inhaling the air full of rich aura in this holy place, Xin Hanyi felt that every pore was opened, greedily sucking the aura, and after a long while, Xin Hanyi opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath, and the indescribable comfort swept away the fatigue of the year.
From beginning to end, Foxtail and the others did not make a sound to disturb Xin Hanyi, and when they saw that his expression changed from tired to relaxed, they all showed a look of relief and pride. That's the wonder of their own holy place.
Seniors, let's go, Xin Hanyi was a little embarrassed to see everyone smiling and staring at him.
Foxtail still walked in the front, Xin Hanyi followed behind him, turned a few corners and saw a quaint tree house from afar, the tree house seemed to have a huge gravitational force, tightly pulling Xin Hanyi's gaze, more precisely, pulling the crystal clear ring on the ring finger of his right hand, even if he didn't need to be introduced by Foxtail, he knew that it must be the residence of the deadwood patriarch Dragon Blood.
Everyone walked towards the quaint tree house step by step, and there was a well three feet away from the tree house, and the well was not big and only three feet square. Xin Hanyi stepped forward and looked down the well as if it had dried up for a long time, the cracked stones at the bottom of the well were glowing with a miserable white and dead ash aura, and Xin Hanyi, who glanced at it, was about to leave, when suddenly the ring finger of his right hand jumped without warning, and a very rich aura oozed out of the ring, saying that the aura was more like the aura falling straight into the bottom of the well.
Then there were a few mournful screams from the bottom of the well, as if complaining and seeming to be talking, and then there was a cheerful howl, and the already dry bottom of the well gushed out, and the breathing room at the bottom of the well was already full of sweet springs. Xin Hanyi saw this strange scene, and felt that the deadwood clan was incredible.
I have seen the patriarch, Foxtail, the four elders and Kuroki said in unison.
Xin Hanyi saw everyone bowing to the old man who came to the well at some point, and realized that the person in front of him was the dragon blood patriarch. also bowed respectfully, looking at the old man in front of him as if he was as vulnerable as a candle.
The old man also looked at him, his face was unwavering, and Xin Hanyi said in his heart: If this old man wants to take my life, it seems that he can't even catch a move with his own ability, and he can kill me several times in an instant.
Xin Hanyi had this feeling of powerlessness for the first time since he left the school, and he could only wait to die in the face of him. When I recalled the land of the two rivers, I knew that the two great gods were there, and I dared to break through, even if I couldn't beat it, I could still escape with my life.
Young man, I won't make a move on you, don't worry. The old man seemed to see through what Xin Hanyi thought in his heart: In fact, I am indeed as you can see, and I have only one blow left in my life, of course it will not be against you.
Xin Hanyi didn't answer, raised his right hand, his heart moved, the ring on his finger flashed blue, and a cyan wood more than seven feet long slowly floated in the air. This is the noble holy relic Qingling wood, the younger generation was ordered by the family teacher to escort this holy relic day and night along the way, and did not dare to slack off a little, and now fortunately it was returned to the nobles.
Xin Hanyi held up the Qingling Wood with both hands and put it in the hands of the Dragon Blood Patriarch, who also raised his hands in a lifting form, and said: Master's life has been completed, don't leave it here, and ask Lord Foxtail to send me out, and I will walk the way I came.
Shaoxia is slow, maybe Shaoxia doesn't know the importance of this thing to our clan and even the entire Changtian Continent. Regardless of these, the old man still has a few questions, and I hope that the young man can answer one or two. If the young man agrees to stay for a few days to answer the doubts in the old man's heart, if the young man is sent in the future, I am willing to do my best to help at all costs, and when the young man encounters a breakthrough bottleneck, he can bathe in the Holy Spirit Spring in my Pure Spirit Holy Land once.
Without waiting for Xin Hanyi to speak, the dragon blood patriarch said again: "Old man, I very much hope that Shaoxia can stay for a few days, of course, if Shaoxia still wants to leave, I will not hinder it." The dragon blood patriarch didn't seem to have said so many words for a long time, and before the words fell, he actually gasped a little. After the dragon blood patriarch finished speaking, he just looked at Xin Hanyi quietly. A face full of anticipation.
Xin Hanyi didn't expect that the dragon blood patriarch would offer such lucrative and attractive conditions in order to keep him, he turned around and said: The patriarch doesn't have to be like this, as long as it doesn't involve the unspeakable things of the master's life, the younger generation must know everything. The nobles have just welcomed back the holy relics, and there must be a lot of things to arrange, and the younger generations have a lot of inconvenience here, and they hope to find a secluded place to rest for a while.
When Foxtail heard this, he immediately said: Kuroki quickly invite Xin Shaoxia to go to the maple forest to rest, Shaoxia came from afar, and it must be dangerous all the way, so take a good rest first.
Although there are a thousand words in his belly, but at this time, the fox tail can't even say a word of thanks, he knows that no matter what kind of words of thanks, they are too light.
Brother Xin, please come here, Kuroki greeted and led the way. Xin Hanyi saluted everyone one by one, and then followed the steps of Heimu and walked towards the maple forest.
Looking at the back of Xin Hanyi's disappearance, the rest of the people could no longer hide the ecstasy in their hearts, as if they had drunk too much wine, they all seemed to be immersed in a dream, no one was willing to wake up immediately, they were afraid that if they woke up, it was really just a dream, and the reality would be shattered when they woke up.
After such a long and arduous wait, they could not afford such ups and downs anyway.
Finally, the dragon blood patriarch was the first to come to his senses, and slowly opened his wrinkled eyes, which were already a little dull and cloudy, actually had a trace of vitality, although they were very weak but very strong.
