Chen Shanming, the headmaster of East Lake Academy who always likes to teach his disciples to remain calm during major events, looks like a certain figure in the history of East Lake Academy who just calmly said "The younger generation will be defeated", and then he is the sage who is about to cut off his clogs. , very similar.
His eyes widened, his nostrils flaring rapidly, and his original elegant and calm demeanor was gone.
So Xu Jingsheng said what he just said again.
"This is impossible!"
Immediately afterwards, Chen Shanming said decisively:
"The dragon clan should have been extinct long ago."
"Do you know the reason why the Dragon Clan became extinct? The first one is because of the Divine Monkey Rebellion... Well, it's not the Divine Monkey Army Rebellion that you know... Anyway, during the Divine Monkey Rebellion, the Monkey King seemed to be with The dragon clan is not easy to deal with. Countless dragon clans died in his hands. It can be said that most of the dragon clan were wiped out by him."
"The Dragon Clan, which has been prosperous for tens of thousands of years, has since turned from prosperity to decline."
"But the most important reason is that the way of heaven has declined, and this is also the reason why the demon clan is now almost extinct."
"In this era of declining Heavenly Dao, our human race is still seeing new cultivators appear, but their strength is much weaker than in ancient times."
"This is because our human race has a large population base. Well, we humans are better at giving birth."
"But unlike the Dragon Clan or even the Monster Clan, it is difficult for them to naturally give birth to offspring. Instead, they need new tribesmen to join. For example, tens of thousands of years ago, there was a spectacle of thousands of dragons flowing into the sea together on the earth. This resulted in the prosperity of the Dragon Clan at that time."
"But as the way of heaven gradually declined, the chances of ordinary scale insects turning into dragons became less and less. Naturally, there were also fewer and fewer new dragons. In addition, after experiencing the chaos of the divine monkeys, since then, the dragons have It’s starting to disappear gradually.”
"As for now, the way of heaven has declined to the extreme, and it is no longer possible for new dragons to be born. As far as I know, five hundred years ago, in Jingcheng Shanjiguan, there once appeared a dragon next to a certain Nascent Soul power who went crazy. The one-horned dragon was the last time the dragon clan appeared in the world. Since then, there has been no record of the dragon clan’s appearance, at least not to my knowledge.”
Chen Shanming has finished speaking. He is indeed one of the most knowledgeable mountain chiefs in the Confucian Academy. He recounted these old things in his mouth with an extremely confident tone.
But after Xu Jingsheng listened, he replied cautiously.
"But... Master, I really saw a dragon, but it was not a real dragon, but a walking dragon. When I met it, it was walking along the river, and it even rushed across the Dragon-Slaying Bridge. It’s the one you took me to see last time.”
"If you don't believe me, you can call my junior sister here and ask. She also saw it with her own eyes."
But Chen Shanming sighed softly after listening to Xu Jingsheng's words. Of course he knew that his disciple would not joke with him. The question was, was the third child wrong?
He was still a little bit convinced that Xu Jingsheng really saw a dragon, but now he doesn't believe it at all.
The water rushed across the dragon-slaying bridge?
The dragon-slaying sword left by the Confucian swordsman's senior swordsman still has sword energy contained in it. Will he allow a walking dragon to pass under the bridge?
This is simply impossible!
Then Chen Shanming looked at his favorite tea set that was broken at his feet with great regret, feeling a little ashamed and regretful for his uneasiness just now.
"Okay, let's tell you the details!"
Then Chen Shanming waved his hand and said.
He was going to listen to the specific story of how Xu Jingsheng discovered the "dragon" first, and then give some guidance to his disciples... Don't think it was because of something wrong with Lao San's practice that he had hallucinations, right?
Chen Shanming was even a little worried.
Only half an hour later, Chen Shanming stood there with a confused look on his face.
At this time, his only female disciple Xia Xiaohong had also arrived here and said with a charming face:
"Master, what the third senior brother said is true."
"That dragon looked really scary, and the man who raised his hand to make the flood flow back into the river, he was really awesome."
"Master, you can do it, right?"
Chen Shanming suddenly coughed violently several times.
"Master, do you know who that young man is?"
Xu Jingsheng quickly winked at Xia Xiaohong and then asked softly.
When he thought about it, that "young man" was definitely not a real young man, he just looked young. Otherwise, how could he have such terrifying strength? No matter how talented he was, it would be impossible.
Therefore, the "young man" who raised his hand to stop the river must be a strong senior, and with the master's knowledge, he might have heard of it.
Chen Shanming shook his head solemnly and said:
"I don't know who he is, but he should be the protector of the river dragon."
"Besides, the one you're fighting with should be a corpse puppet."
"Defender? Corpse puppet?"
Xu Jingsheng asked suspiciously.
"As a dragon walks along the river, it will encounter many disasters along the way. If it does not have enough blessings, it is likely to die on the way. And if there are powerful practitioners who are willing to protect it along the way, the danger of walking on the river will naturally be reduced. It can be reduced a lot, because that practitioner is the protector of the river dragon."
"As for the corpse puppet, it is a half-yin and half-yang creature. After death, if there is still yang energy left and the soul has not left the body, it can be refined into a corpse puppet in time using secret techniques."
"This kind of corpse puppet is different from ordinary zombies or puppets. It can retain most of the memories of life, and has strong physical strength, and its strength can also be increased through practice. In the book Donghu written by Master In the Record of Strange Events, I classify it as a subhuman creature.”
"Hmm... this corpse puppet refining technique originated from southern Xinjiang. The one who is best at this secret technique is the girl sect... Could it be that another girl has reappeared? This is not good!"
Finally, Chen Shanming said to himself.
Then, he raised his head and said to Xu Jingsheng:
"Third brother, go and call all the brothers to gather together."
"Master, what do you want to do?"
Xu Jingsheng asked blankly.
"It is said that reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, this time the master is going to take all of you out for a walk, to see the river, and then to see...that dragon."
"Haha, in today's world, if you want to see a dragon, even if it's just a dragon, it may only be this once."
Chen Shanming's eyes showed a look of great expectation.
...So, actually, Master, you want to go and see it yourself...
Xu Jingsheng suddenly muttered in his heart.
"Master, can we still find that walking dragon?"
"...Well, we can find a cloud first..."
"Looking for clouds?"
"Yes, a cloud that will get bigger and bigger."
…
That dark cloud is getting bigger and bigger.
Shu Guan stood on the top of a steep mountain with his hands behind his hands, squatting on a rock and smoking a dry cigarette, while looking up at the huge dark cloud that seemed to be pressing on his head.
This is the forty-sixth day since they left Jingcheng. They have arrived in Wuzhou and are still more than 1,500 miles away from Shencheng.
And the dark cloud that had been following them since crossing the Dragon-Zhan Bridge had now expanded to the size of a football field, hanging gloomily over them every day, making people feel a little depressed.
If you look carefully, you can still find strands of golden lightning flashing deep in the dark clouds from time to time.
...It should be giving birth to thunder from the sky... I just don’t know when these thunder will fall...
Shu Guan thought so.
His expression at this time was like a country farmer squatting on the edge of the field, observing the sky to determine when to sow and harvest.
After living in Taoyuan Village for eighteen years, I have
Some habits are really difficult to change, such as squatting on the ground and smoking like an old cripple.
The tobacco in the cigarette cup is slowly burning out.
Shu Guan had no intention of lighting another pot. He placed the emerald-green tobacco stick next to the rock, then took out a small cloth bag from his arms, pulled the drawstring, and saw a bag of golden hair inside.
Shu Guan carefully pulled out a golden hair, tightened the drawstring of the small bag, and put it back in his arms.
Then, Shu Guan brought the golden hair close to the cigarette cup where the tobacco was not completely extinguished.
Today, he was going to try to contact his senior brother again.
However, Shu Guan planned to light only one golden hair left by his senior brother. If it didn't work, he would try again next time.
The golden retriever was instantly ignited.
Shu Guan, who was well prepared, quickly tilted his head back, and a bright flame about three feet high exploded in his hand.
The golden monkey hair was burned out quickly, and then the flame turned into a straight line of blue smoke. The blue smoke rose upwards, about five or six meters above the ground, but suddenly disappeared, as if it had penetrated Another time and space.
Shu Guan silently stared at the blue smoke column while knocking out the ash residue from the cigarette rod and cleaning the cigarette cup.
He has already been disappointed once, so this time, his expectations have naturally dropped a lot.
After a few minutes, the green smoke became more and more sluggish, and was about to disappear into the sky.
A flash of disappointment flashed through Shu Guan's heart, but it was not too strong.
Then he stood up and prepared to leave the mountain.
Just then, he saw a foot.
A foot covered with golden hair.
That foot appeared out of thin air, and then stepped on the wisp of blue smoke that was about to disappear.
Shu Guan's body suddenly shook.
The next moment, another foot covered with golden hair also appeared.
Then, there are two monkey legs covered with golden hair.
Then there was another monkey tail that looked weak and drooped.
...Finally, there is that familiar and friendly monkey face.
The senior brother walked out of the void and came to Shu Guan on the wisp of blue smoke.
It’s been so long.
At this moment, Shu Guan's heart was filled with thousands of emotions.
Especially after he also left Shan Si Guan, seeing his senior brother again gave him the joy and excitement of reuniting with his relatives while wandering around the world.
However, in the next moment, Shu Guan noticed that something seemed wrong with his senior brother.
The eldest brother looked very embarrassed. The hair on his face was charred black, as if he had been burned by some kind of fire. The crown on his head that Shu Guan helped him find was crookedly worn, and there were a lot of traces at the corners of his eyes. There was a big bruise, as if it had been hit by something heavy.
The most serious thing is that the eldest brother's left arm hangs there softly, as if it is broken.
Senior brother, what's going on?
Of course, the eldest brother's face still showed that kind of nonchalant relaxedness, and a little bit of heroism.
He walked down from the green smoke and came to Shu Guan. He grinned and showed two pairs of sharp fangs.
"The last time you came to see me, I happened to be caught and locked up, so I couldn't get through."
"It's actually the same this time. I'm being hunted, so I can only stay here for a quarter of an hour."
"Okay, what do you want from me?"
The senior brother asked Shu Guandao quickly.
Shu Guan looked at his senior brother blankly.
He was caught and locked up again, and he was hunted down again. What on earth was the senior brother doing during this time?
Moreover, the eldest brother is so powerful. Based on Shu Guan's judgment, maybe even the Seven Immortals of the Seven Immortals Alliance are no match for the eldest brother. Who can catch him and hunt him down?
Shu Guan suddenly felt something awe-inspiring in his heart.
I am afraid that I am far from truly understanding this world.
But these thoughts were quickly dispelled by Shu Guan. He did have many things to tell his senior brother.
But the question is, what can he say in a quarter of an hour?
For a moment, Shu Guan didn’t know where to start.
Seeing this, the senior brother waved his right arm and said:
"We'll talk about other things next time. How are your fighting tactics going now?"
"No matter how hard I practice these days, I haven't made much progress."
Shu Guan quickly replied honestly.
"That's the limit."
"Okay, I don't have much time today, let me teach you a new method of luck first!"
"The name of this method of transporting energy is called Mount Mountain Technique."
"The force I taught you last time can make your strength explode tenfold in an instant, and this mountain-carrying technique can maintain your strength at thirty to fifty times in a short period of time."
"In the past, I could really carry two mountains on my shoulders with this mountain-carrying skill."
"Okay, let me teach you the cultivation method first."
While talking, the senior brother kept looking up at the sky, with a dull look of worry in his eyes. It could be seen that the person who was chasing him put a lot of pressure on him.
This made Shu Guan unavoidably very uneasy and guilty. He felt that it was because he contacted the senior brother this time that he put the senior brother in a more dangerous situation.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Follow you. "
Then, he said this to Shu Guan.
Shu Guan was suddenly startled.
