Chapter 272: Dragon Protector
Ah Lian told Ma Xie that she was abducted when she was three years old, and she had long forgotten where her hometown was, and she didn't know what her surname was, only that her name was Ah Lian.
Between the ages of three and seven, she was on the move, and the people who took her changed places more than a dozen times, during which the children around her kept changing, some died, and some became fools for some reason.
At the age of seven, she was taken to a huge house.
There was nothing in the room, it was all white, except for a stone bed in the middle.
Ah Lian was tied to the stone bed, and then she saw a strange light shining into her eyes, and then her consciousness was blurred, and she didn't know anything.
When she woke up, she was already at the foot of the city walls of Lingdu City.
A man who calls himself "Mo" saves her.
Mo taught Ah Lian a little martial arts, and taught her a little bit of cultivation, and then left Lingdu City without saying anything.
Later, Ah Lian was taken in by a casual cultivator, Ah Lian was very smart, and successfully became a cultivator, and after traveling outside the casual cultivator, Ah Lian became an intelligence peddler.
For years, Ah Lian has been investigating the group of people who brought her here, because she wants to know where she came from and who her parents are.
But for so many years, there has been no quicksand around Lingdu City.
It wasn't until a while ago that this group reappeared in the vicinity of Lingdu City.
And this time, among the several cadres sent by the organization, there was Huang Mirou who Ma Xie was looking for.
"The woman you are looking for is from the Jin Kingdom just like you, she is a disciple of the 'Kunshan Ancestor', a newly accepted disciple of a cultivator called the 'Poisonous Scorpion', and she is very popular with the Kunshan Ancestor. This woman is ruthless and very romantic, and it is said that Lin Jue, the eldest disciple of Kunshan Ancestor, was fascinated by him. Ah Lian told everything she knew.
"How did this Huang Mirou become what she is now...... "Ma Xie really can't connect this merry Huang Mirou with the gentle senior sister he was in the Tianwu Sect.
"The Qin Chun you defeated before is also a disciple of the poisonous scorpion. He was very good at making runes that controlled corpses, and was a second-level talisman, but now it seemed that he was just in vain. His task seems to be to guard the children, and Huang Mirou is responsible for handing them over to their next family. ”
"Where did the 'quicksand' organization send these children in the end?" Ma Xie asked.
Ah Lian thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, they always move these children around, and they don't stay in one place for long. Actually, I'm a little curious, although the price of a mortal on the black market is very expensive, it is nothing to a cultivator. Quicksand is a huge organization, even the Kunshan Ancestor, and it is not a real high-level, and the strength of the Kunshan Ancestor has already reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.
"So why are they trafficking in human beings? This is not a good business for practitioners, and it is easy to be opposed by the major forces. Ah Lian said what was in her heart.
"Unless they want something out of these people. Liu Zongxuan said: "Didn't you say that you were once sent to a house? ”
"But what does a group of cultivators need to search for from mortals? And they do it so secretively, their organization has been changing places, and it is only in the last ten years that they have come to the north. Ah Lian said.
Two words suddenly popped out of Ma Xie's mouth: "Soul...... Maybe they're collecting souls. ”
He remembered what Huang Jin said, those big forces were doing the same thing, and that day he heard Huang Mirou and the poisonous scorpion say that they were capturing these children just to collect souls.
The answer is chilling.
Cultivators can't kill mortals at will, but it's not impossible to strip their souls.
The only question is, why does Quicksand collect so many human souls? And it seems that they also have a special interest in collecting the souls of children, especially those with strange constitutions.
For example, Song Xueer.
This mysterious organization is like a spider, snorting everywhere, and then hiding in the shadows, quietly waiting for its prey that it has been staring at for a long time......
"Where is Huang Mirou now?" asked Ma Xie.
"I don't know, you give me a little time. Ah Lian said to Tsushima, "I need to check it." ”
A small wasp landed lightly on Ah Lian's fingertips.
The little wasp circled around Ah Lian's fingertips a few times before staggering out.
Ah Lian closed one eye tightly and entered a special state.
After about an hour, the little wasp flew in with a large swarm of wasps.
"Swarm!" Liu Zongxuan exclaimed, trying to find a place to hide.
"Don't be afraid! This is a bee raised by Miss Lian. Ma Xie saw that these bees were very orderly in the process of flying, and they all landed quietly in front of Ah Lian, and he knew that Ah Lian was a dragon protector.
And these seemingly inconspicuous wasps are actually a magical beast.
I saw a strange symbol appear on Ah Lian's forehead, like a flame and like a maple leaf.
The symbol continued to flash with light, and then a lot of light stretched out from it, each light connected to a wasp, and then one after another points of light appeared on the wasp's body, and followed the light to Ah Lian's forehead.
After about half an hour, the light on Ah Lian's forehead gradually disappeared, she seemed very tired, she sat down, and the little wasps flew away obediently.
"Are you a Dragon Master?" Ma Xie asked curiously, he had also seen a Dragon Master before, and he was very curious about this kind of cultivator.
"Do you know the Dragon Slayer?" Ah Lian was a little curious, because many people thought that this was a secret technique, and they didn't know that this was an ancient cultivation system, which was completely different from the Dragon Slayer's Dragon Slayer.
Ma Xie said: "I once heard that the dragon warrior is mainly fighting by manipulating foreign beasts, and those wasps just now are all foreign beasts raised by you!"
Ah Lian nodded: "Yes, this kind of bee is called a thief-eyed bee, they have good eyesight, they can see all the small things within five hundred feet of the surrounding area, and they can understand human language, which is the best choice for obtaining information." I control about a hundred of these thieves' eye bees, covering all the places that the civilians of Lingdu City can enter, and I will organize these messages every day. ”
"Wow, that's amazing, it's the first time I've seen a dragon master. If you have thousands, tens of thousands of such bees, wouldn't the entire Zhou Kingdom be under your control?" Liu Zongxuan said excitedly.
Ah Lian said: "Theoretically, this is true, but in practice it is impossible. ”
"Oh, why is that?" Ma Xie was also curious about what kind of existence the Dragon Protector was.
"First of all, dragon mastery also needs to be cultivated to support. The higher the cultivation, the more alien beasts you can control, and the higher the level. Under the same strength, quantity and quality cannot be satisfied at the same time, the greater the number of alien beasts controlled, the lower the strength of alien beasts, on the contrary, the stronger the strength of the controlled alien beasts, the smaller the number must be.
"And the alien beast is too far away from the dragon master, and it loses control, so I can control more than a hundred of them now.
"These thief-eyed bees of mine were bought by Master from a foreign beast dealer at a great cost, and if I want to control more foreign beasts, I will either continue to buy them or go to the foreign land to catch them myself.
"And these thieves of mine can only scout in places where civilians are active, and they can't enter places like palaces and sects at all. ”
I don't know why, Lotus felt that she trusted Ma Xie very much, and even told Ma Xie all the secrets of the Dragon Master.
Although dragon mastery is mysterious and powerful, it also has many limitations.
"I've seen the Sin Blood Hall praying mantis, there are a lot of them, and one of them obviously has the strength of the Dan Realm, that is to say, the dragon master behind it must have the strength of the Dan Realm!" Ma Xie asked.
Hearing Ma Xie's words, Ah Lian was surprised, because there were few dragon masters, and she had never seen other dragon masters.
"Definitely, and the Sin Blood Mantis is an extremely powerful beast, unlike my thief eye bee, the Sin Blood Mantis is good at fighting, and it is extremely difficult to catch. I think that cultivators who can capture this strange beast must not act alone, but have a team with tacit cooperation behind them as support. Ah Lian said with envy on her face: "Although my thief-eyed bee is obedient, but it does not have the slightest combat power, if I want to improve my strength again, I must update my alien beast." ”
This is also a big problem for the dragon master, the strength of the alien beasts controlled in the early stage is too low, and as their own strength grows, they must find ways to capture stronger alien beasts, and capturing new alien beasts often has to pay a great price.
"I've heard that some of the old families have a lot of knowledge of the dragon family. Liu Zongxuan said: "They have either prepared various stages of alien beasts for the children in the family early on, so that they can avoid the trouble of finding and catching alien beasts, or they have raised some alien beasts that can accompany the cultivator all the way since they were young, and some alien beasts have grown up with the dragon master since they were born, and finally they can grow into the existence of the Jindan period, and they are extremely powerful when fighting!"
Liu Zongxuan, who was born in the Holy Soldier City, naturally heard a lot of legends about the Dragon Warrior.
"I've heard of it too. Ah Lian said: "Those alien beasts that can grow with the Dragon Warrior all the way to the extreme realm are called divine beasts, and some divine beasts can easily conquer a small country. ”
Ma Xie remembered that he had heard such a thing when he first entered Stone City.
For example, it is said that when the Qin army attacked Anyang, the monarch of Anyang controlled a strange beast, it is said that the one with the body of a cow and three tiger heads on his neck can spit fire, spit water, and smoke spit, and the lord of Anyang who controls this strange beast is obviously an extremely terrifying dragon master!
