The Taihu Water Prison is dark and painful.
The twisted light source refracted into thousands of stars in the water waves, like swimming will-o'-the-wisps, isolating all spiritual opportunities and turning it into a soulless place where the sky and the earth are not responding.
This is the prison where those water monsters are imprisoned. Taihu Old Long never thought that one day he would be imprisoned here.
The effect of the soulless land on the true dragon is not significant, because the true dragon is the power itself. But the shackles on his body are treasures that suppress the power of the real dragon, preventing him from exerting his divine power.
The most terrible thing was his injury. Once he was frightened by the Dragon Refining Box, the dragon soul followed him like an inner demon. The roars of those evil dragons rang in his ears day and night, making him tremble all the time, like a frightened bird.
Secondly, he failed in the battle with the God of Five Powers. It was not just as simple as breaking the dragon's horn. His Taoism, magic power, and body were all severely damaged, which made him miserable.
Thirdly, due to the hasty exit from seclusion, the incense backfired, my soul was lost, I was confused and unable to control myself, and it was hard to come to my senses.
Various factors intertwined with each other, making him worse and worse, which is why Gong Mengbi said that he was not going to die soon.
Old Long half-closed his eyes, his eyelids twitching rapidly, falling into an insurmountable nightmare.
"Father! Foster!"
It was at this time that a few clear shouts broke into the unfathomable abyss, awakening the old dragon from the suffocation of drowning.
It's amazing and weird that real dragons can also feel the sensation of drowning.
Old Long's thoughts were scattered in all directions. Following the call of the voice calling "adopted father", he finally settled on the young man in silver armor. He felt a little dazed for a moment.
"Chen'er?"
Tie Chen stood outside the water prison, looking at the appearance of Taihu Dragon God, his eyes flickering, and he sighed and said: "Father, how are you?"
The old dragon finally cheered up and worked hard, and walked to the water prison in shackles. Across the shimmering water curtain, the Taihu old dragon's eyes were deep, and the embarrassment all over his body did not make him look weak and bullyable. There was a kind of Yuan Ting Yue Zhi in its heyday.
"I didn't expect you would still come to see me." Taihu Dragon God looked at Tie Chen closely, as if he wanted to read his thoughts through his face.
Tie Chen's eyes did not dodge, but he said sadly: "I came to see my foster father. Why did my foster father... why did he do this?"
Old Long Xiaosuo said: "I made the wrong move and it's hard to turn back."
His interest waned, Lao Long didn't want to mention it anymore, but looked at Tie Chen again and said, "Chen'er, I thought you were here to see my joke."
"Even if my adoptive father makes mistakes, he is still my adoptive father." He looked at Lao Long and asked: "Father, what can I do for you? You have been the Taihu Water God for so many years, and you have worked hard and achieved great results. Even for a short time, If you are confused, you should not show any affection. If I go to the Yangtze River Dragon Palace to plead for mercy, can I find a way for my adoptive father to live? "
His eyes were burning, and he seemed to be sincere.
All kinds of complications surged in Lao Long's heart. His own son acted willfully and is still a fool to this day.
On the contrary, this adopted son hid a lot of thoughts to keep him in front of him. He never really treated him kindly in his heart, but now he is filial in front of him.
Nature plays tricks on people, and it turns out to be like this.
Old Long felt a rare warmth, his face softened, and he said: "I have committed a capital crime, and if you come to plead for mercy, you will also be implicated."
Tie Chen lowered his eyes, his face full of sadness, and said: "Father, if you leave, what will happen to Brother Heng and I?"
"I can't reach the sixth level of Taoism. Brother Heng is now seriously injured. I'm afraid that when the new Taihu God comes, there will no longer be a place for us. Foster father, where should we go? Please teach me."
Old Long looked at him steadily and saw a face that sincerely asked for advice.
The Taihu Dragon God thought for a long time, and there seemed to be a battle between heaven and man in his heart, and he slowly said: "Sixth-level Taoism is indeed not enough to control Taihu Lake. After I go, I think the Dragon Lord of the Yangtze River will arrange a place for you."
Tie Chen said: "If that's the case, that's fine. Foster father, I promise you that no matter where I go, I will take good care of Brother Heng and not let you worry."
In the battle between heaven and man in Taihu Dragon God's heart, one side finally won. He took a deep breath and said: "Tie Chen!"
Tie Chen trembled in fright. This was the tone Taihu Old Dragon used to use when he was young to punish him. It was urgent and severe. He involuntarily straightened his body and looked at Taihu Dragon God.
The old dragon's wide-open eyes were almost red, and he said in a stern tone: "You swear to me that as long as you live, you will protect Du Heng."
Tie Chen swore without hesitation: "Tie Chen swears here that as long as I live, I will protect Brother Heng."
"Okay, okay, okay!" The old dragon's face turned strangely red, and the broken horn on his head appeared. Under the shackles, the human form reluctantly turned into a half-dragon and half-human figure.
He coughed violently, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out and fell on the water curtain in front of him, dyeing Tie Chen's face bright red.
Tie Chen was startled, and then he saw a pearl the size of a rice grain squeezed out of the dragon's blood, rolling down at Tie Chen's feet, emitting a flickering light.
The old dragon let out a mournful cry, fell heavily to the ground, and changed from the dragon phase to the human form. The shape was like a withered and rotten wood, almost as breathy as a gossamer.
Tie Chen lowered his head and looked at the dragon ball at his feet. The beautiful lustrous dragon ball reflected in his eyes, making his eyes flicker.
He picked up the dragon ball and placed it in front of him, his expression became extremely confusing.
Lao Long gasped and crawled to the edge of the water curtain. The blood in his eyes faded, but his vision also became blurred. He shook his head, looked at Tie Chen, and shouted: "Chen'er! Chen'er!"
This sound of Chen'er seemed to wake Tie Chen up. He grabbed the dragon ball in his hand tightly, leaned down and said, "Father, I'm here."
Across the water curtain, the ripples of light made Tie Chen's expression somewhat blurry.
The old dragon told him: "The sixth level of Taoism is not enough to take charge of Taihu Lake, but if you refine my dragon beads, you can step into the fifth level, and then you have the possibility of taking charge of Taihu Lake."
"You are familiar with the affairs of Taihu Lake. There is no one more suitable than you to be the current God of Taihu Lake. I will teach you the secret spell. You go to my palace and take out all the incense sent to me by the God of Five Tongs. Give it to the Dragon Girl of the Yangtze River and pay tribute to her. Report that I have a Shenlong Temple outside Gusu City, which is evidence of my collusion with the King of Wu."
"In this way, you can make great contributions and maintain your innocence. Then pray to the Dragon Lord of the Yangtze River for the position of Taihu God. Even if you can't get it at this time, the Dragon Lord of the Yangtze River will definitely hang up the position and investigate again."
"There is also a private treasury in my palace. You can get the treasures in it to mediate this matter. Your father also has a few old brothers in the Yangtze River. If they intercede for you, this matter will most likely be accomplished."
"Although that three-thousand-year-old man is greedy for money, he knows a lot of things. If you ask him for advice, he will probably not refuse."
The old dragon raised his head, his face was black and blue, and the moment he spit out the dragon ball, his face was already covered with deathly aura.
He looked closely at Tie Chen and said: "Chen'er, I only have one thing to ask of you, take good care of Du Heng. I don't ask him to become a god, as long as you keep him safe for the rest of his life, that's enough. "
He gritted his teeth and said, "Please..."
Tie Chen's throat rolled. For a moment, he wanted to laugh loudly, taunt loudly, and curse. But in the end, he did nothing. He just swallowed the breath and said: "You Don’t worry, foster father.”
"Do not worry."
