The red sun hangs high in the sky, floating clouds float in the blue sky, and the golden pillars and jade palace stand as majestic as a heavenly palace. The old man dressed as a Taoist priest with white hair and soap robes stood in the sea of rolling clouds in front of the temple. A long sapphire hairpin was casually inserted into his bun, and his eyes were deep and tranquil.
"Zhou Gu." The old man called softly, and the middle-aged man with a square and honest appearance came forward and respectfully handed over a fish food box. The appearance of the fish food box was made of sandalwood and painted with red paint. It was very exquisite.
Li Chengqian gently grabbed a handful of bait and threw it randomly into the churning sea of white clouds in front of him. After waiting calmly for a moment, the clouds began to change violently.
The bright red shadows began to gather densely, and white, yellow, orange, gold, black and blue gradually became entangled together, making the scene colorful in an instant.
Who would have thought that under the sea of clouds in front of the palace that day, there would be a deep, clear pool with fine koi carps in it.
Now, as soon as the bait is thrown, koi fish rush out of the water to grab food, making the clouds and fog above thin. At a rough look, the number is at least a thousand.
"As the ancients said, if you raise thousands of carp, you will eventually grow into a dragon. Zhou Gu, do you think I can raise a dragon?" The old man threw another handful of bait into the cloud pond and asked seemingly casually.
"According to my subordinates, the master of the house has raised a young dragon. Your Highness the True King is not a thing in the pond." Zhou Gu, wearing a black suit and a burgundy tie, with a strong and burly body, responded in a low voice. .
"You, you..." Li Chengqian couldn't help but point his finger at him after hearing this answer, and laughed and cursed.
"Others often say that you are a loyal and righteous person, and you look honest and generous, but you sound like a sycophant when you speak."
"Speaking from the bottom of my heart." The man straightened his back, looked at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth, without further explanation.
"I heard that Long Yuan was injured recently." The old man asked with his hands behind his hands as he watched the magnificent scene of thousands of carps snatching food under the cloud pond, showing no emotion.
Although his grandson is far away across the ocean, this does not mean that he is ignorant of and indifferent to what happened recently in Li Longyuan.
"Well, the Red King of the Renovamen organization, I met him once when I was on a mission at the Pharaoh's Tomb in ancient Egypt seven years ago. Those bloody eyes were like a hernia lamp in the dark night. Looking at him once, it was as if he was floating in the sky. A mountain of corpses in a sea of blood." Even though he had the spirit of speech and Gonggong and could fight against the dragon servant Samson at the bottom of the Yangtze River, Zhou Gu had to admit that the monster was so terrifying that it made people palpitate.
"The water here is getting deeper and deeper." The koi carp jumping out of the water to grab food inadvertently formed a huge whirlpool, and countless fish tails twisted and splashed with crystal water droplets, falling again and again, full of life .
"Ouch~" An ancient and dull roar came out from the bottom of the water. Even Zhou Gu, who was holding the fish box in his hand, couldn't help but stumble. The majestic and majestic aura made the koi fish swimming around and swallowing bait lose their sight. Spirituality, all stagnated in place.
Huge ripples suddenly appeared on the deep water surface. In the central vortex of the square cloud pool, a mountain-like water monster emerged. The black shadows left by the sunlight easily obscured the figures of Li Chengqian and Li Chengqian.
The monster's head resembles a snapping turtle, but it has a majestic forehead and a thick neck. The tortoise shell on its back is engraved with complex and fine patterns, and there are a few strands of green waterweed entwined at the junction of the soles of the forelimbs and the carapace.
"Bah! Bah! Bah!" The water monster raised its ferocious head and chewed loudly the dozens of koi carps in its mouth. Horrifying scarlet blood seeped out from between the sharp teeth arranged like knives and guns. The dark green eyelids turned upward, revealing A pair of huge crystal yellow eyes, obviously terrifying.
"Baxia." Zhou Gu looked at the giant water monster and couldn't help but sigh. Of course he knew that there was such a dragon species in the orthodox world.
Basia, one of the nine sons of the dragon in the legend, also known as Bixi, Ao, Guifu, Buxia, and Dragon Turtle, is good at carrying heavy objects.
"Long time no see." It was such a mammoth creature that made people feel fierce just by floating on the water. Li Chengqian still stood quietly where he was, greeting the mountain-like boss in front of him.
"Hooo~~~" As if he heard the old man whispering, Baxia, who swallowed dozens of koi in one gulp, lowered his head and sank back into the water to be level with the old man, only revealing his huge crystal-yellow eyes and back armor. The protruding ridges like a stone forest pressed against the surface of the water, emitting a gentle and melodious roar.
Zhengtong has raised this crocodile for more than a thousand years, and it is also very spiritual. Although it cannot speak, its wisdom is no less than that of an old man who is world-savvy.
Zhou Gu also accompanied him, with a smile on his honest and simple face. When he was three years old, he came here with the head of the Zhou family to watch the ceremony, and accidentally fell into the cloud pond, so he had a chance encounter with this tyrant.
He also knew that the high-quality koi carps raised in Fang Yun Pond were Baxia's rations. It is better to say that ten thousand carps are feeding the dragon than ten thousand carps are feeding the dragon.
"Excuse me, have you seen my brother?" While Zhou Gu was quietly watching the interaction between Li Chengqian and Ba Xia, the indifferent boy's voice suddenly appeared and frightened him, and he turned his head mechanically. go.
What he saw was the face of a handsome young man with very light eyebrows. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old. There was no extra emotion in his smooth black eyes. He was only wearing a white undershirt and his figure was very thin, revealing his rugged and delicate collarbone.
Ba Xia let out a low roar and froze in place. It did not sense the boy's approach, but at this moment it felt the majesty of the boy.
After a lapse of thousands of years, the ancient king stepped down from the throne, left the dusty bronze palace of history, and stepped back into the human world.
But he is still the king. Zhou Gu, who was able to face the next generation and was infinitely close to S-level according to the Cassel Academy bloodline classification, was standing there, as cold and hard as the terracotta warriors and horses built for the burial of the First Emperor, unable to move.
He is not even qualified to talk to boys! Li Chengqian, who originally had his back to the boy and a handful of fish food in his hand, slowly turned around. There was no surprise on his face. Instead, he asked a topic that Zhou Gu wanted to ask but couldn't, with a warm smile.
"Who are you?" Hearing the question, the boy frowned slightly, as if he was angry that his question was not taken seriously, but also seemed to be thinking carefully.
"My name is Constantine. I have reached the top of the mountain of fire, where I melted the ocean of bronze and cast the name of God." He opened his mouth mechanically, but it seemed as if he was being possessed by a god and spit out the highest virtues. Most holy words.
This should not be the voice of a human boy at all, but more like the murmur of a god, the majesty of a king hidden in the boy's surging noble blood.
Zhou Gu's current condition is very bad. Hearing these words, he couldn't even express the change in his face.
It was like the soul was briefly pulled out of the body. No matter how hard I tried, it was extremely difficult to even control the movement of a finger.
He finally clearly understood the extreme terror he would face when facing such a creature.
"I haven't seen your brother." Li Chengqian, who had shown his talent and talent, didn't seem to feel the natural suppression of bloodline boundaries. He just smiled and said to the ignorant boy.
"But I can take you to see him, and you should be able to sense that he is not far from you." Li Chengqian calmly held out a skinny hand and stared at the boy.
After a long moment of silence, the boy stretched out his white and thin hand and let the old man hold him and leave.
"Huh..." Until their backs disappeared from sight, Zhou Gucai exhaled as if his soul had returned to its shell, and his blood began to flow again, washing away the stiff and numb feeling in his limbs.
"Is this the bone bottle that the family owner brought out from the bottom of the Yangtze River?" He hunched over and gasped for air, his eyes full of exploration and lingering fear.
