"Summoning the Azure Dragon?" Changsheng was very curious, "Can you summon the Azure Dragon if you have dragon scales? If you can summon the Azure Dragon, what can the Azure Dragon do?"
Zhang Mo was clearing away the dishes on the table. When Chang Sheng asked, he stopped what he was doing and looked at Zhang Shan, waiting for his answer.
Zhang Shan picked up the tea cup to drink tea and rinsed his mouth, then put down the tea cup and said, "For all dragons, the scales are one yuan in number, with a total of 129,600 pieces. However, not all dragon scales can summon the green dragon. Only those born in the dragon genus can summon the green dragon. The reverse scales under the jaw have this magical effect."
Zhang Shan paused briefly when he spoke here. Neither Changsheng nor Zhang Mo interrupted, and waited quietly for the next sentence.
Zhang Shan continued, "Han Feizi said, 'The dragon is an insect, and can be harassed, captured, and ridden. However, there is an inverse scale under its throat. If anyone touches it, it will kill someone.' Why does it touch the inverse scale? The dragon will be furious because the place where the reverse scale is located is the key point of the dragon's life gate, which is equivalent to the seven inches of the snake. And the reason why the dragon can be controlled and ridden is because the reverse scale under the jaw has never returned to its position. , is still a snake and insect, with incomplete divinity. If the reverse scales return to their original position, the dragon will complete its body and soar into the sky."
"Brother, are you just hearing this or is it true?" Zhang Mo asked.
"The authenticity is unknown, but it is indeed recorded in the Supreme Secret," Zhang Shan said. "It is said that snakes and pythons are not the only ones who can overcome tribulations. Therefore, a well-behaved snake and python will look for them on the day of tribulation." People with destiny lurk around them and rely on the energy of people with destiny to avoid the thunder. Because the energy of people with destiny is different from ordinary people, the thunder will throw rat weapons, so snakes and pythons can sometimes benefit from the shelter and successfully overcome the disaster."
"What is a destined person?" The person who interrupted this time was Chang Sheng.
"You are the destined person." Zhang Shan said casually.
Seeing that Changsheng's doubts were still unsolved, Zhang Shan added, "There are more than tens of millions of people in the world, but most of them are ordinary people. They cannot influence the people's livelihood and the current situation, nor can they affect the country, the country, and the country. Only a very small number of people who are destined to change the day. Guidance to the country. You are not the only one who is destined to be a person of destiny. It seems that our brothers and sisters are also people of destiny. Those Jiedu envoys who support the army and respect themselves are also people of destiny. Even Long Haotian, the flower leader you hate the most, is also a person of destiny. Human beings, but those who share destiny, also have priorities, and your destiny is obviously heavier than ours."
Changsheng frowned and asked, "You mean that people who are destined to be destined are not necessarily good people?"
"Yes," Zhang Shan nodded, "Destined people only have a different destiny than ordinary people and can affect people's livelihood and the country, rather than shouldering any specific mission. Destined people may be heroes who turn the tide, or they may be tycoons who seek to usurp the throne. "
Changsheng didn't say anything after hearing the words. He once again thought of what his master Luo Yangzi said to him when he was still alive. The master had long discovered that he was a destined person, and worried that he was disabled and prone to misfortunes, which would lead to his extreme temperament and lead him astray. Therefore, I tried my best to persuade myself to enter Taoism and practice, so as to calm my mind and uphold goodness.
He didn't fully understand some of Luo Yangzi's words that day, but when he thought about it this time, he suddenly realized that some of his master's teachings to him were also on point. When faced with provocations from others, whether he should endure or fight back depends on his ability to maintain peace in his heart. If you are sulking, then don't be patient and fight back directly. If you don't take it seriously, then be patient and laugh it off. The reason why Luo Yangzi had such teachings was because he was worried that too much resentment would accumulate in his heart, which would eventually make him furious.
"Brother, continue talking about Ni Lin." Zhang Mo urged curiously from the side.
Zhang Shan nodded and said, "The Taoist concept of responsibility and the Buddhist concept of cause and effect have the same meaning. They both pursue the word fairness. Kill someone to pay for your life, and pay back your debts. If you get benefits from others, you owe them debts. If you don't pay your debts, It is rare to be completely successful, and the same is true for snakes and pythons to overcome tribulations. If they endure the tribulation alone without dying, they will directly transform into a dragon and ascend. If they escape the tribulation with the help of others' protection, they will have a dragon body but incomplete divinity. Only Only by repaying the kindness of others can the dragon's body be intact and soar into the clouds."
After Zhang Shan finished speaking, Zhang Mo asked, "Do you mean that the green dragon deliberately left that piece of reverse scale behind, just so that one day when Changsheng is in danger, it will show up to help and repay the kindness of that day?"
"That must be the case." Zhang Shan nodded.
"Does it recognize Changsheng himself, or does it only recognize the person holding the reverse scale?" Zhang Mo asked again.
"Of course it's Changsheng himself," Zhang Shan said, "but Nilin is equivalent to an IOU. Only when the creditor has an IOU in hand can he repay his old debt."
"Can it only be inspired once?" Zhang Mo asked again.
Zhang Shan glanced at Zhang Mo, "That's natural. Pay back whatever you owe. You can't ask for a hundred taels when someone owes you one tael of silver."
Zhang Mo was not afraid of Zhang Shan and joked with a smile, "You don't have any profit?"
Zhang Shan was too lazy to joke with Zhang Mo and said sternly to Changsheng, "Find that reverse scale as soon as possible. It will be useful one day."
"It's not necessarily in whose hands that thing is," Changsheng said. "When the two Sitiantai officials found the cave, the Japanese pirates were also nearby. Every move of the two was clearly seen by the Japanese pirates. If someone hadn’t taken away the Ni Scale, the Ni Scale must have been in the hands of the Japanese pirates.”
"No matter whose hands it is, we must find it as soon as possible." Zhang Shan said in a deep voice.
Changsheng nodded, "It seems that among the Japanese pirates who came to China this time, there is also a member of the Taoist sect. They call them Onmyoji. This person seems to be able to do Taoism and is very knowledgeable."
"The magic of the Japanese came from the pre-Qin Dynasty, and it is very different from the Taoism of China. These Japanese people should not be underestimated." Zhang Shan said.
"Brother, in your opinion, what is the purpose of these Japanese pirates coming to China?" Without the Japanese present, Changsheng would speak of Japanese pirates. If there were Japanese present, they would have to say "Japanese", because "Japanese pirates" is a curse word. Saying Japanese pirates to a Japanese is like scolding a bald donkey in front of a monk.
Chang Sheng once said before that the Japanese came for the dragon vein. Zhang Shan didn't quite understand what Chang Sheng asked specifically, so he didn't answer the question.
Upon seeing this, Changsheng quickly changed his question, "Are they trying to destroy our dragon veins or are they trying to borrow the dragon energy of our Tang Dynasty?"
"Both of these possibilities are possible," Zhang Shan said. "I suspect that there are people in China secretly helping these Japanese. Thousands of Japanese warriors cannot all speak our language. At the moment, the imperial court is hunting down envoys from the Tang Dynasty. If there is no internal response, so Food and accommodation for many people are in question, let alone hiding their whereabouts and lurking around to cause trouble."
"Ordinary people don't have such great strength and can't support so many people, unless they are the Jiedushi who dominates one side." Chang Sheng guessed.
"The world is deteriorating and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. Many of these governors are disloyal and can take advantage of Japan's influence." Zhang Shan raised his head and looked at Changsheng as he said this. "The burden on your shoulders is also It’s very serious, it seems like this kind of thing can only be verified by you.”
"Leave it to me," Changsheng nodded, "I have already ordered people to secretly search for these Japanese pirates. These are thousands of warriors, no ordinary soldiers. If they gather in groups to cause trouble, the local government will not be able to stop them."
"We can't just focus on internal worries and ignore external ones. These Japanese are really a scourge," Zhang Shan said. "You pay close attention to this matter. If you know their whereabouts, inform me immediately and I will divide my troops to encircle and suppress them."
The two were talking, but Zhang Mo couldn't speak, so he picked up the teapot and poured tea for the two of them. Originally there were only two teacups on the table, one for Zhang Shan and one for Zhang Mo. After Zhang Mo filled Zhang Shan with tea, He filled his teacup casually and handed it to Changsheng with one hand.
Zhang Mo's move showed his closeness. Changsheng took the tea cup, his heart was beating fast. His mind was originally clear and coherent, but now he was distracted and blank.
Zhang Mo didn't notice Changsheng's changes. Seeing that he didn't speak, he brought the topic back to the dragon scale. "Brother, if you find the reverse scale, how should you use it?"
"I don't know," Zhang Shan shook his head and then remembered something, "By the way, I think I heard my father say that Master Fufeng of Tianxian Temple knows a lot about Ni Lin. Tianxian Temple is located on the west road of Shannan. If the dragon scale is found, it might as well be Go and ask him for advice.”
When Changsheng didn't answer, Zhang Mo pushed him, "Did you hear that?"
Chang Sheng suddenly came back to his senses, quickly put down his teacup and said, "I heard it, Master Fufeng from Tianxian Temple. I heard him talk about this person when the old Master's soul left his body and went to Yizhuang to provide shelter and help."
"You must take this matter to your heart," Zhang Mo warned. "If you can inspire Qinglong, you can turn the tide and shock everyone in a critical moment."
"It's a pity that even if the dragon scale is found and the green dragon is summoned, it can only be used once." Changsheng said.
Seeing that Changsheng had the same attitude as Zhang Mo, Zhang Shanyi glanced at him and said, "You two are really the same."
Changsheng was embarrassed when he heard this, and Zhang Mo on the side said, "We know that we can only summon it once, but the enemy and opponents don't know that. You must know that Qinglong is a divine creature. If it appears in front of the battle, the enemy will be frightened." , no fighting spirit at all.”
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore," Zhang Shan waved his hand, "I have to convene them for a meeting. You have been working hard during this period, so let Changsheng accompany you to the city."
"That's fine," Zhang Mo pointed at the box containing the gifts, "Don't forget to give these things to Xing Yunzi and the others."
Before Zhang Shan answered, Changsheng said first, "Brother, according to the Japanese pirates, the owner of Nilin is a demon dragon..."
Before Changsheng could finish speaking, Zhang Shan waved his hand and interrupted him, "Dragon is also divided into the genus of innate dragon and the genus of acquired dragon. The demon dragon mentioned by the Japanese refers to the genus of acquired dragon, which generally refers to the snake and python that transform into a dragon. Regardless of whether it is a congenital dragon or an acquired dragon, once one becomes a dragon, there will be no distinction between superior and inferior, just like the imperial examination and donation, both are appointed officials of the imperial court."
This conversation with Zhang Shan made Chang Sheng no longer confused. Knowing that Zhang Shan was going to have a meeting, he stopped delaying, stood up from his seat, and said goodbye.
After getting up, he remembered that he had not drank the cup of tea that Zhang Mo had handed over earlier. He was worried that Zhang Mo would misunderstand that he did not drink it because he disliked him, so he wanted to pick it up and take a sip, but he felt that he had already stood up. If he held the cup again, Drinking tea seems too deliberate, and there is a little bit of that.
He was hesitant at first, but when he looked up, he found Zhang Mo staring at him with a smile. He became even more embarrassed. Seeing Zhang Shan lowering his head and arranging the table, he hurriedly picked up the tea cup and drank it all, and then left the big tent as if running away. …
