Chapter 165: Heading to the Dragon Palace
As the saying goes: if the mountain is not high, if there is a fairy, it will be spiritual, and if the water is not deep, if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual.
This statement is very practical in any place between mountains and rivers, let alone the East China Sea, which is summarized in this ten thousand rivers.
"Saying Wen Jie Zi" contains: Dragon, the length of the scale insect, can be dark and bright, can be small and huge, can be short and long, ascend to the sky at the spring equinox, and dive into the abyss at the autumn equinox.
The dragon is an indispensable member of mythology, and it is also the totem of the Chinese nation, which has an irreplaceable position in the hearts of the Chinese people.
But in this world, the status of dragons is not so high.
The gods and Buddhas treated them as a plate of food, for fun, slaughtering and recklessly. Even in the eyes of some mortals, they were nothing more than a group of monsters that had been sealed by the Heavenly Palace.
If it weren't for the special status of the ancestral dragon, I'm afraid that the four seas would not have been the turn of the dragon clan to take charge.
Sun Wukong obtained the Dinghai Divine Needle, this handwriting is naturally from the Dragon King of the Four Seas, otherwise he would not enter the Dragon Palace to obtain weapons, so his strength skyrocketed, and he was beyond the control of the Jade Emperor in a short period of time.
All this that the dragon clan did was just to resist and restore the glory of the ancients, but because they did not have this kind of strength, they hit the idea on the spirit monkey that was born and raised.
In the end, however, they failed.
Sun Wukong was arrested in the Heavenly Palace, and the dragon clan was suppressed again, becoming an important role in the westward journey.
Qiu Liluo took thirty-two surviving monkeys and broke through the water, but he didn't see a single patrol yaksha along the way, and the sea area around Huaguo Mountain was reduced to a dead and silent place, and there was no living soul.
"The Jade Emperor's hand is really ruthless enough......"
Sweeping over the rotting creatures at the bottom of the sea, Qiu Liluo knew why the sea breeze had such a heavy fishy smell, and he also mourned for the dragon clan for a while in his heart.
There are so many dead creatures in the water alone, not to mention how many of their fellow dragons have died because of it.
As we gradually move away from the sea area of Huaguo Mountain, the seabed gradually becomes colorful, and all kinds of fish and shrimp are swimming happily, but none of them go to the place that looks like the Dead Sea.
When Autumn Liluo and his party arrived in front of a forest formed by a reef, the mud and sand on the bottom of the sea suddenly surged, and two lobsters that could barely make out of it in human form.
They were armed with steel forks, clad in scaly armor, their small eyes full of fear, and their long beards trembling.
After seeing Qiu Liluo and his party, he knelt directly on the ground, put his head on the sand and soil and shouted: "Congratulations to the immortals!"
Their cultivation has all reached the Mahayana stage, and they are considered to be the top powerhouses in the mortal world, but at this moment, they seem so humble and pitiful.
Qiu Liluo was silent and said, "I want to see the Dragon King." ”
One of the shrimp soldiers shook his body and said in fear: "Please also invite the fairy to come with the little demon." ”
As he spoke, he got up slowly, for fear of displeasing the other party.
Half a year ago, after the first battle of Huaguo Mountain, the dragon clan lost many outstanding talents, and there were many shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals, which caused the vitality of the East China Sea to be greatly damaged, and now the dragon clan can no longer withstand the toss.
Qiu Liluo glanced at the shrimp soldier who was still kneeling on the ground and trembling, sighed slightly in his heart, and followed the shrimp soldier who led the way to the depths of the stone forest.
As for the monkey who was protected by him, they ignored him the whole time.
Now they don't want to be involved in any misfortune, they just want to live, even if it's to grovel.
As he went around and around and passed through several portals, Qiu Liluo also arrived at the most important place in the East China Sea - the Dragon Palace.
Standing in the distance, the entire Dragon Palace was wrapped in a huge blister, like an eggshell protecting the Dragon Palace.
In front of the blister, there is a high door, on which is written: East China Sea Dragon Palace.
Under the portal, there are two rows of immortal-level shrimp soldiers and crabs guarding, and the weapons in their hands are dazzling, but when they see the arrival of Qiuliluo, they all kneel together, and the familiar things seem to have been tempered for thousands of years.
"Greetings to the Immortals!"
A group of shrimp soldiers and crabs will kneel down and worship, and the neat voice seems to be full of energy, but in fact it is trembling slightly.
Qiu Liluo frowned slightly, feeling that all the backbone of the water tribe had been worn out, like a walking corpse: "Can the Dragon King be in the palace?"
At this time, an old man with a turtle shell on his back walked over, his eyebrows and beard were white, his body was slightly rickety, and he was wearing a crimson official robe, which also looked quite temperamental.
"Back to Shangxian, the dragon king is on his way here, please don't be surprised if you miss the distance. As he spoke, Gui Cheng bowed deeply to Qiu Liluo, his face full of apology and panic.
Qiu Liluo glanced at him deeply, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he nodded lightly.
Prime Minister Turtle seemed to be as frightened as these water tribes, but Qiu Liluo saw resentment, unwillingness, and pain in his eyes......
What is particularly striking is the fighting spirit that wants to overturn this day!
Qiu Liluo's eyes drooped slightly, and he thought about it in his heart, and soon had a plan.
Since they have already decided to cleanse the gods and Buddhas of this world, they don't mind helping the dragon clan, and having more helpers will be beneficial after all.
At this moment, an old man with two horns, scales on his face, and a purple robe walked quickly, and directly gave a big salute to Qiu Liluo: "Xiaolong is late, please forgive me." ”
Qiu Liluo smiled and said: "Dragon King, this time I came to the East China Sea to talk about something, is it possible to let me stand at this door?"
The Dragon King of the East China Sea raised his head and said with a smile: "Is it Xiaolong's, please also invite Shangxian to come with Xiaolong to drink a cup of hot tea." ”
As he spoke, he pushed sideways and stretched out his right hand to pull forward, but when he saw the twenty-three monkeys, his pupils contracted sharply.
He was no stranger to these monkeys, but he didn't understand what this person was bringing them to, did he want to ......
After thinking about it, the Dragon King of the East China Sea decided to probe the wind: "I wonder why the Immortals are still carrying them when they come to the East China Sea?"
Qiu Liluo glanced at him with a smile: "Naturally, it's for some things." ”
Although these words were relatively vague, the Dragon King of the East China Sea was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and his face suddenly turned pale.
He smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "Please also ask the immortals to be merciful, Donghai can't stand it anymore." ”
Qiu Liluo shook his head, no longer spoke, but walked straight towards the Crystal Palace.
The Dragon King of the East China Sea felt bitter in his heart, and he was half a step behind and passed a message to Prime Minister Guicheng: "Send all the maids in the palace away, and let those juniors whose bloodlines may be against their ancestors go to Haiyan to hide for a while." ”
Prime Minister Gui nodded slightly, and the hand hidden under the sleeve robe fiddled with a crystal clear token, and with a faint halo flashing, a faint fluctuation spread throughout the entire Dragon Palace.
This is obviously not the first time in this matter.
This is a way for the dragon clan to preserve its own strength, and it is also the most helpless way.
Those dragon clan disciples with extraordinary blood, if they are discovered, they will only be reduced to a meal on a plate and become the belly of the gods and Buddhas.
This humiliation has been haunted by the dragon clan for countless years.
