Standing on the mountain stone altar, Yu Youquan faced the dragon head reflected in the water. It was obviously just a reflection of the rock, but he still felt as if he was being targeted by some kind of terrifying existence.
I can’t explain the exact feeling, but I feel a chill running down my spine.
Yu Youquan endured the discomfort in his heart and put aside all negative emotions. Even though there might be unknown dangers in this trip, or even worse, he was simply going to deliver food, he was still determined.
There is no way out!
Yu Youquan laid the ancient scroll flat in front of him, laying it out meticulously.
Then, according to Tao Fuzi's teachings and the secret words on the ancient scrolls, they began to offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth and all directions.
A gust of wind ruffled the entire Longtan water, creating ripples one after another.
The pressure became stronger, like a warning, like heavy pressure.
Yu Youquan's face turned pale, and his little body could not help shaking, but he persisted and completed the worship meticulously.
Afterwards, there was the sacrificial sword dance!
The sword is a small wooden sword that he always carries with him; he has performed the sacrificial sword dance countless times.
But this time, it was extremely difficult.
Yu Youquan gritted his teeth and persisted.
When the body walks with the sword, although it loses the beauty, gracefulness, and agility of the usual practice, it has a sense of power that it has never had before.
But with this change, the charm of the sacrificial sword dance began to become completely different.
The originally free and unrestrained sword dance became thick and simple, full of killing intent, and the sound of killing could be heard in the ears.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Yu Youquan felt as if there was some inexplicable Taoist rhyme flowing in his heart.
What followed was that it became increasingly difficult to dance the sacrificial dance smoothly.
My heart was pounding with fear, my soul was in disarray, and I had a vague feeling that a catastrophe was imminent!
Yu Youquan instinctively wanted to stop. After all, people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!
but.
He finally gritted his teeth and persisted!
For him, even using a shovel to deliver food is better than going to jail and being beheaded in public.
At least this is the way he chose to die!
In addition, if he can really die in the hands of a real dragon, for a mortal like him, his trip to the human world may not be in vain.
Fortunately, he had practiced this sacrificial dance enough times that he had formed a muscle memory, and he could dance it instinctively even without thinking.
All that’s left is to persevere!
Time passed minute by minute, and at some point, Yu Youquan felt the wind and thunder all over his body, and he seemed to have opened his eyes faintly.
It's obviously not real, but it feels like needle pricks, and it hurts everywhere in the body.
When his eyes opened and closed, there were flashes of lightning, wind, thunder, and waves, and the transition between day and night, all of which seemed to be flooding in his mind.
persist in!
persist in!
persist in!
This is the only thing he can do!
When the sweet and sweet smell of blood suddenly hit his mouth and nose, Yu Youquan finally finished this ritual dance that he had practiced countless times.
Immediately, Yu Youquan discovered that all the wind, rain, thunder and lightning in front of him suddenly disappeared, and everything became calm, as if nothing had happened.
But the next moment, Yu Youquan was shocked to find that the clear green Longtan in front of him suddenly turned upside down.
The sky turned into the earth, and the clear water turned into the sky.
When I regained consciousness, my feet were already on the ground, and I felt a sense of solidity.
Looking around, there is a dim cave with glistening green light.
The cave is very, very large, and except for the extremely eye-catching stalactite "Tianzhu", the rest of the cave is even more empty.
Of course, occasionally you can still see some rocks riddled with holes, like rocks washed out by endless waves.
Further away, you can see some strange buildings such as coral trees and shell mountains, which are sparkling and jewel-like, just like the underwater world seen in previous lives.
This is dry...Ryuugong?
All Yu Youquan was thinking was not sure whether the guess was true or false, but what he could basically confirm was that this was already another dimension.
At least it is far larger than Longtan in terms of size, and is unimaginably vast.
Is this the scenery that only practitioners can glimpse? !
Yu Youquan's eyes shone brightly, and he looked at everything in front of him greedily, and countless joys and excitements about stepping into the world of cultivation emerged in his mind.
However, Yu Youquan did not forget the purpose of this time!
He immediately saluted seriously and respectfully said hello to Shenlong, but unfortunately there was no response!
Yu Youquan chose to continue exploring inward.
Taking one step forward, Yu Youquan was shocked to find that the place he stepped on lit up with green light, and then faintly appeared water splashes.
This... is too magical!
In order to appear more calm and steady, Yu Youquan did not stop to study, but continued to delve deeper step by step.
Wherever he stepped, waves appeared, and on the edge of the waves appeared a large number of flowers, plants, insects, fish, and ancient trees.
Continuing forward, you can even see some birds and animals, and even a large number of humans.
Hunting, fishing, herding, farming, sacrifice, war...
The glimpses of various human activities passed before him like a revolving lantern.
Occasionally, he can even hear some Sanskrit Zen chants, Taoist rhymes and fairy winds, which bring him infinite enlightenment.
What kind of dragon is this?
The Dragon King who has enjoyed massive human sacrifices?
No one answered, so the answer is unknown.
At this moment, a strong wind full of salty, damp and cold air suddenly hit.
What followed was a storm.
Yu Youquan has forgotten how many times he has experienced wind and rain in a short period of time!
In other words, since he went upstream against the Longtan Valley, he seemed to have an indissoluble bond with wind and rain.
However, all this seems very, very...reasonable!
Because the dragon is the god in charge of wind and rain!
But this time the wind and rain seemed very different from before. It obviously came from outside, but Yu Youquan felt that the wind and rain penetrated Ma Yi's skin and penetrated directly into his soul, so that the wet feeling could not go away.
The wind blew for a long, long time, so the rain fell for a long, long time!
Because of this, this space where the heaven and earth were upside down was suddenly filled with "flood".
And this caused Yu Youquan to drift with the crowd uncontrollably!
I don't know how long time passed. When he collapsed on the ground and vomited a lot of water with difficulty, barely surviving, but before he had time to rejoice, Yu Youquan discovered that he had arrived in a larger space.
Looking up, there is a huge dome. There are exquisite murals on the dome. The murals are inlaid with a large number of pearls, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.
At this time, Yu Youquan discovered that this space was actually part of a huge palace.
It’s really hard to imagine what kind of miraculous workmanship it took to create such an architectural miracle.
but.
Yu Youquan had no intention of appreciating it at all!
Because at some point in front of him, a huge... dragon head appeared out of nowhere!
It's really too big. His small body is not even one-third the size of the dragon's eye!
What's more, the naturally hanging dragon whiskers are like huge rafters to him.
What followed was some kind of inexplicable pressure. Perhaps the giant dragon didn't release any pressure at all.
But just this astonishing size difference made Yu Youquan instinctively feel fear.
What's more, he was too close to the pair of dragon eyes. Even without deliberately interpreting them, Yu Youquan could still feel the indifference and aloofness contained in the dragon eyes.
Just like humans looking at ants on the ground!
Maybe you can watch it with interest for a long, long time, but it's just a whim. It's normal to crush it to death with one finger or with a kick when your interest is gone.
Yu Youquan had the intention to stand up, but his brain seemed to be short-circuited and his body was not under control at all. Not only could he not stand up, but it seemed as if all his bones had been taken away and turned into a puddle of limp mud.
Even the teeth couldn't help but chatter, and every bone seemed to be screaming!
Yu Youquan thought that he had been very resolute in his two lives, but when he faced a mythical creature like a real dragon, he discovered that his bravery, perseverance and fearlessness were more due to...ignorance!
He had actually made countless plans in his mind for this trip, and even rehearsed the tone of voice he should use countless times.
but.
When he faced an entity like Shenlong, Yu Youquan realized that all his preparations were actually of little significance.
"Insignificant human beings..."
There was a strange syllable in his ears. It was not in any language that Yu Youquan knew, but he just understood it.
This should be the divine word that directly affects the soul!
Yu Youquan was still scared, but bursts of joy could not be contained in his heart.
Shenlong can communicate, which means he still has the possibility of winning the bet!
But in the next moment, Yu Youquan fell directly from heaven to hell.
"You are not the person I have been waiting for...I will eat you!"
Yu Youquan's face was pale, without any trace of blood.
He knew Shenlong didn't lie!
Because for a majestic creature like him, he would not even bother to lie to him!
In addition, he also heard the endless pain in Shenlong's tone, which was the endless anger after being deceived, imprisoned, and waiting for hope to be shattered to no avail!
Lost the bet? !
Yu Youquan gritted his teeth, knowing that he would become the dragon's blood food in the next moment and die miserably, without any room for a comeback.
The gap between him and Shenlong is really too big. Any resistance will be like a small drop in the tree!
Sure enough, no matter what world you are in, gamblers will never end well!
but.
With an ordinary background and no family protection, what else can he do except gamble?
After all, it is still too unwilling!
Yu Youquan felt that he should do something more...because he really didn't want to die!
