The local people said that it was to worship the Dragon Immortal. According to legend, in ancient times, there was an immortal who was transformed into a real dragon. He saved the country from imminent destruction and even refused the throne. He only became a national advisor and devoted himself to assisting the king until the prince ascended the throne. The Imperial Master said that if the Kingdom of Tianfu is to be prosperous for eternity and all generations can live and work in peace and contentment, they must hold a Dragon Festival on the Dragon Boat Festival and send a pair of twin children to ensure that the power of the Dragon God will not fade away and the weather will always be smooth. From then on, the Imperial Master disappeared.
"Oh, you have been deceived! How can any god want to eat children!" Wu Jing was a little anxious and quickly explained to the people around him.
"Bah, bah, bah! Don't tell foreigners if they don't understand! It's their blessing to be chosen! They were enlightened by the Dragon God and can directly become the ancestors!"
"That's not being eaten, it's being enlightened."
"That's right, we people want it but can't choose it!"
"Beiqing, look, they don't believe it!"
Seeing more and more people talking around, Gu Beiqing pulled Wu Jing away.
The two of them stood at the entrance of a deserted alley.
Seeing everyone overturning the high platform on the boat, with a "plop", two thin figures fell into the water together. Wu Jing couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately used the invisibility technique to jump into the river, quickly picked up the two dolls, and took them to a small forest not far away while everyone closed their eyes and knelt down.
Gu Beiqing shook his head and turned invisible to follow.
The two children's eyes were red and swollen from crying and they were already mute. He was crying and hiccupping but couldn't say anything. Gu Beiqing set up a barrier and cast a spell on the two of them to make them fall asleep first.
"There's really nothing we can do about you. Let's go and meet this god." After saying that, Gu Beiqing transformed into a boy.
"Why am I a girl!" Wu Jing complained a little, but still transformed into a girl.
The two returned to where they were before, jumped down invisibly and used the fake death charm. They looked no different from drowned children who were unconscious.
The two can only communicate through spiritual sense.
"It's so uncomfortable, Beiqing. When can I use the Water Avoidance Technique?"
"Be patient and wait for him to come out."
The feeling of having water filled in the ears, eyes, mouth and nose was really unpleasant. As soon as the whirlpool surrounding the two of them disappeared, Wu Jing threw away the fake death talisman in his hand and used the water avoidance technique.
"No, no, no, I really can't stand it anymore." Gu Beiqing also recovered.
"Ignorant child." A deep voice sounded from all around. There is actually a secret chamber made of bluestone underwater, with moss crawling in the cracks between the stones.
The two changed back to their original appearance, and the "Dragon God" became even more angry.
"How dare you tease me!" The Dragon God appeared.
It looks exactly as described in the folklore book. It has horns and looks like a chilong.
Before the two of them could answer, he rushed over.
Gu Beiqing was just about to prepare for defense when a figure appeared in front of him and blocked Chilong with a swing of his sword.
"Who are you monsters? Don't harm my people!"
The man who came was nine feet tall and burly, wearing armor and holding a long knife with a high-spirited dragon engraved on it.
Gu Beiqing and Wu Jing looked at each other. The person who came had no human aura. They could feel that he was highly cultivated and must be a fierce ghost, but he protected the two of them.
"How dare you be so rude to this Dragon God! Take your life!" Chilong turned into the appearance of a dragon, but it was not a dragon after all.
"Bah! Where did the eel come from! You have done many evil things, bullying the people, and eating your children. Today, this general will encounter ghosts and kill ghosts, as well as gods and gods!" The ghost general raised his sword, and a powerful wave of air surged to the surrounding area instantly.
Gu Beiqing and Wu Jing had to retreat to a safe place first.
That Chilong was really powerful, its claws were like knives, its fangs were like swords, and its tail slapped on the ground so much that Wu Jing almost fell down.
But he is obviously no match for the ghost general. Not long after, his head was chopped off with a knife.
The ghost general held a Chi dragon head in one hand and a knife in the other, walking towards the two of them.
I thought he was a high-spirited young gentleman, but I didn't expect that he was actually a general with snow-white hair on his temples.
"Don't be afraid, two little ones. I've got rid of the demon dragon. Go back quickly!"
"Thank you, senior, for saving me! May I ask what you call me, senior?" Gu Beiqing bowed and asked.
"Hahaha! You're such a polite kid! But haven't your family ever told you about my Long Family Army?" The general laughed, but there was no trace of anger in him.
"What's the Long Family Army? Why haven't I heard of it?" Wu Jing asked bluntly.
"Forget it if you don't know! I think back then, I was always getting stronger and my sword was still young. This is the dragon-slaying sword given by Emperor Wenxuan himself!" Talking about the past, the general was very proud.
Gu Beiqing and the two realized instantly that he was still stuck in the memory before his death.
"Senior, Emperor Wenxuan has passed away for almost three hundred years." Gu Beiqing probed carefully.
