Dark Arrow Chapter 72: The Wanderer (2)
"Father, mother, why are you wearing dresses again?" Chu Yang frowned, looking at Fuxi and Nuwa who were carefully dressed up.
"Sacrifice!" Nuwa gently pushed him back, "Go, call your brother and sister, move quickly, and set off immediately...... Remember, all of them have to wear dresses, including you!"
After a while, the four brothers of Sun, Mingyang, Shaoyang, and Chuyang, and the four sisters of Taiyin, Jiyin, Shaoyin, and Chuyin came to the hall with a smile.
"Look at you, one by one, it's ugly to death!" Shaoyin pointed to the long tails dragging behind their buttocks one by one, and leaned back with a smile.
"Hmph, stinky girl, aren't you the same?" Taiyin strained his face and pouted angrily, "Daddy and Mother are really!
"Big sister, don't complain!" Sun smiled, "Our current situation is much better than before! Do you know that our father and mother used to have to wrap their legs when they went to sacrifice......
"Big brother, you brag...... How do you walk like that?" Chu Yin flickered his big eyes and looked at the sun suspiciously.
"Of course you can't go!" Sun touched her little head and smiled, "Crawl and walk!"
"Wow! no?...... That's too hard!" The brothers and sisters all gave him suspicious looks.
"Hmph, can't you lie to you?" the sun crossed his arms to his chest, "If you really don't believe it, you can go and ask your father!"
"Brother didn't lie to you!" Fu Xi, who had a straight face, appeared at the gate, followed by Nuwa, who was smiling and groaning, "It's all here?...... Okay, let's go!"
The temple was not far away, just halfway up the mountain opposite, and after a while, the family arrived in a hurry.
The temple is rudimentary: supported by four wooden pillars, bamboo walls, and covered with straw. Pushing away the empty firewood, there is a wooden board hanging on the wall facing it, on which are carved two lifelike dragons, one red and one black, head to tail, giving people a mysterious and gloomy feeling.
Chu Yin only glanced at it, then he was afraid again, and hurriedly hid behind his father.
"Good Chuyin, don't be afraid! they are our protectors!" Fu Xi gently pulled her forward, pointed at Shuanglong, his eyes were full of respect and respect, and turned around and said crisply: "Sun, bring the sacrifice!"
Nuwa handed the prepared cow's head, sheep's head, and pig's head to the sun one by one. The sun held it in both hands and carefully placed them on the desk one by one.
Fu Xi took out the fire knife and flint, and in the sound of "click", the fire was ignited. Then he lit nine incense sticks, divided them into groups of three, and inserted them on top of the three animals one by one, and then took out a large handful of paper money and burned it in front of the desk. Then, he straightened his clothes, knelt down with a solemn expression, and knocked his head nine times in a row in the sound of "dong dong".
Nuwa and all the sons and daughters also knelt behind him and did so respectfully.
After the ceremony, Fu Xi stood up and looked up at Shuanglong, and was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, his face showed excitement and he muttered: "The legacy of the ancestors is really right! This picture really hides the mystery of heaven and earth!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly took a stick of incense, squatted down, and quickly scratched on the mud.
"Daddy, what are you doing?" Chu Yin bent over and saw that Daddy had drawn some strange symbols of "—" and "--" in eight different directions, and asked curiously.
Fu Xi didn't seem to hear it, and while thinking, he drew lightly.
"Chu Yin, don't bother your father, he's thinking about it!" Nuwa gently pulled Chu Yin and turned back to the children, "Let's go! Wait a while, my mother will make you braised pig's head to eat!"
"All right!" the children rejoiced.
"Mother, can you tell your daughter: why is the dragon our protector?" Chu Yin, who was holding her mother's hand and walking slowly, raised her head, opened her big clear eyes, and looked at Nuwa eagerly.
Nuwa stroked her daughter's soft yellow hair lovingly, and said slowly: "A long, long time, a long, long time ago......"

"Bang!"
The earth shook violently, and the mud and rocks in the cave fell like torrential rain.
"It's a collapse!"
"The ground is cracking!"
......
Frightened people, the old and the young, poured out of their respective holes, and in a short time the fields were crowded with people with blue noses and swollen faces.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" ......
The sky was covered with yellow dust, and the panicked crowd was shaken to the ground, and the earth was shaking.
"Don't panic, all lie down, hug each other!" the chief roared hoarsely.
The people who were hugging the clumps were finally no longer shaken to their feet, but the huge earthquakes shook them to the ground.
"Look, it's a dragon...... It's not a collapse!" The chief clasped his companion's waist with one hand and pointed upwards with the other, squinting at the sky.
Countless giant dragons passed through the long yellow dust one after another, their figures getting bigger and bigger, and they became clearer and clearer, and they fluttered in the air with teeth and claws.
"Bang!"
In the mud and rocks, the earth shook, and a large crater was smashed into the ground.
The dragon coughed blood, stood up proudly, flicked its tail violently, and slammed it to the ground with a "snap"; at the same time, it kicked all four legs, and with the momentum of flicking its tail and rebounding, it bounced up like a projectile, passed through the long yellow dust, and disappeared in the blink of an eye......
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" ......
One by one, the dragons pounced viciously. One by one, the big pits, in the blink of an eye, turned into deep ravines one after another......
The ramming of the dragons continued until the setting sun.
The chief staggered towards the dragons, followed by a large group of Black Pressed companions.
"You ...... What are you doing here?" the chief asked anxiously, holding up a bloodied yellow dragon.
Huang Long shook off the dust and sweat all over his body, gasped and smiled bitterly: "Don't care...... We...... You go back ...... Go back to the cave!"
"Let's go, come back to the cave with us!" the chief wrapped his arms around its slender neck and dragged it in the direction of the cave.
"Let go of me!" Huang Long shook his neck and knocked him to the ground.
The ...... chieftain got up in some panic and looked at the scarred dragons with teary eyes, and everyone retreated in horror.
"Don't be afraid, we don't have any malicious intent!" Huang Long smiled bitterly at everyone, "We just want to smash this earth into big gullies one after another. In this way, rivers and streams will be formed, and you will no longer have to worry about drinking water......"
"You...... You guys...... "The chief was stunned and burst into tears.
"We ...... It's almost gone!" Huang Long shook his head, "While there is still a breath left, let's use our remnants to do something for you and your future generations......
"No!" the chief shook his head like a rattle, "you can't do that!"
"No!"
"It can't be like this!"
......
Everyone burst into tears. But no matter how hard they tried to persuade them, the dragons were indifferent.
"Go back, all of you!" shouted the dragons, "we still have to work!"
Everyone had no choice but to go back, but after the meal, they couldn't help but be curious, and came out to watch.
Under the clear light, there was already a large mound towering.
The busy dragons were constantly arching their heads over the clay rocks and piling them on top of the mound.
"You ...... What is this going to do?", an old man asked in surprise.
"Barrier Mountain. A black dragon shook off the stinky sweat all over his body, "We want to build a very high mountain." ”
"Wow...... What is it for?" the crowd exclaimed.
"As long as it's high enough, there's going to be snow that doesn't melt all year round. A red dragon interface, "so that the river will never stop flowing again, and the earth will never dry up again......"
......
In this way, the dragons struck the earth during the day and built the mountains at night.
Seven days later, they crashed out of thousands of miles of majestic mountains, deep ravines, and at the same time, a high mountain rose from the ground and towered into the sky.
After days of exposure to the sun and constant labor, the dragons were already skinny and dying.
"Heh, we have to go!" Huang Long took the chief's hand, "In the future world, the master will be you!"
"You ...... Where are you going?"
Huang Long pointed to the high mountain that reached into the sky, and said loudly, "We have all discussed and are ready to die on the top of the mountain." ”
The chief reluctantly grabbed Huang Long's hand, "No...... Don't go, we'll get through it together!"
"No!" Huang Long shook his head, "God has already been furious about our previous actions. ...... We all know that we have to die!"
"God, be merciful and let them go!" the chief "pounced" on his knees, and did not bow his head, and the crowd behind him pleaded with a "thump."
"Thank you!" Huang Long's tears flashed, "You all get up, it's useless." ...... We've got to go!
The dragons climbed up with difficulty, looked back with tears in their eyes, and instructed:
"Goodbye, dear friends, be sure to remember our lesson!"
The crowd whimpered and bowed.
......
And just like that, they all died on the top. This sacred mountain is our Kunlun Mountain. The head of the jade sighed and pointed to the white ridge below him, "Oh, this is the place where they died." ”
Dongfang Zhen slowly knelt down, looking around the ridge blankly, as if he was lost for a while, and his heart was surging for a while.
"Yangtze River, Yellow River...... , there is the blood of a dragon;" The head of the jade family looked at the distant mountains and said leisurely: "Qinling, Daba Mountain, Taihang Mountain...... There is the essence of the dragon, and all the Ming people are instilled with the backbone of the dragon in their bones......"
The story told by the Jade Master back then had been haunting Dongfang Zhen's heart, and in a daze, he felt as if he had turned into a scarred dragon, crashing wildly against the earth.
The incessant sound of "bang" and "bang" seemed to ring in my ears, but it seemed to be very real, and the force of the earth's collision shook me as if I had been shattered.
"Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!"
He spewed out three bloody arrows in quick succession.
"Oriental Shaoxia! Oriental Shaoxia......" Two blurred faces appeared in front of him. He froze and heard Yun Xiangjie's anxious voice, "Dongfang Shaoxia, can you still hold on?"
"It's okay,...... I can't die!" Dongfang Zhen's face was like pale gold, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and gasped: "We...... Where?"
"On the carriage. Yun Xiangjie pressed his shoulder lightly, "Don't worry, it's coming soon!"
"Oh. Dongfang Zhen was relieved and closed his eyes. He vaguely remembered that he had been carried off the ship and then lying in a large carriage.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
The road was bumpy, and he was dizzy, and he felt pain everywhere in his body, and his eyes were dark, and he fainted again.
After some time, he felt as if the carriage had stopped.
"It's finally here!" he heard someone shouting beside him. Immediately afterward, he was lifted onto a soft stretcher or something.
"Slow down, light!" he heard Yun Xiangjie's voice and tried to open his eyes.
There was a huge stone archway-like thing in front of him, and the beam seemed to be falling towards him.
He felt dizzy again, and under the nausea, he closed his eyes groggily......
There was a suffocating silence that suddenly brought him back to his senses. In a trance, there was a woman in a yellow shirt with a dangling hairpin on her head, looking at herself silently.
"What's the name?" is the voice of a dignified and resolute middle-aged woman.
"Mrs. Yu: Dongfang Zhen. Kunlun faction. Martial arts are extraordinary. Yun Xiangjie's voice.
"Oh, from the Kunlun faction?"
"Yes. May I ask Madame, do you want to be healed?"
"Well?...... Wake up first, and talk about it later!" I vaguely saw the middle-aged woman turn around.
"Multi-...... Xie!" even Dongfang Zhen himself didn't expect that he would still have the strength to speak.
"Huh?!, still conscious?" the middle-aged woman was taken aback, turned around, and looked at him in surprise.
This time, Dongfang Zhenzhen fainted.
