It was still early, so after bidding farewell to Lu Yuan, Su Xing and others rushed towards Pinjiang City.
There is a large bluestone official road built along Pinjiang River, not far from the river. Along the way, dozens of mortals gathered at regular intervals on the outside of the official road.
Altars were being built in full swing. The altars were not complicated, just like a round platform, with a wooden sculpture of a dragon's head and human body sitting on it.
Around the altar, three long logs were raised, each with a flag.
The altar is entirely red, with three flags, one black and two red. As if for comparison, one flag was erected ten minutes higher, far higher than the other two, so when Su Xing and others looked from a distance, they only saw one red dragon flag waving.
Su Xing and others ran for a while, and then passed by an altar with the same standard. Mortals worked hard like bees to build it. Su Xing noticed that although their expressions were tired, they showed a kind of satisfaction and piety.
It is very likely that he is a villager near the Pinjiang City area and has faith in the Dragon God.
"Brother Su, what are the words written on those flags?" Lin Xixi asked curiously.
There is a line of text written on each of the three flags. It is not a font commonly used in Dayu, nor is it a Taoist text commonly used by immortal cultivators. It is slanted like a snake crawling, but it has a mysterious and weird aura.
"I haven't seen it, but maybe someone here knows about it." Su Xing shook the fish basket in his hand. Chi Li, who had been silent since seeing Lu Yuan, finally spoke again, with a vague voice that rang in several people's ears:
"This is the word 'Zou Long', which is a sacrificial inscription from the Dragon God era. As for what is written on it..."
Su Xing thought to himself, when this kind of dragon is not crazy, he is somewhat cool.
The two shorter flags were covered by tall trees, leaving only the red flag high up.
"Lingze."
"Lingze?"
"Yes, the full text should be more than just these few words. It may be the temple name of the dragon god. But I only recognized the word Lingze, and my memory has not been fully recovered."
Su Xing nodded and asked:
"Why didn't you say anything just now? You are the reincarnation of the Dragon Girl, and those people are from the Dragon Temple. If you show up, they will naturally treat you as a treasure. If the master of the Water Mansion knows about this, he might do his best. Help you transform into a dragon."
"What do you know!?" The ethereal voice in the air was suddenly broken, and it fluctuated violently:
"Those people, do you think you can believe it? The human race, who used to be just slaves under my feet, is now walking in Pingjiang. What does it look like today? The human race is actually walking in broad daylight?
When I ascend the dragon, I will revitalize the water palace, rectify the world, and restore the top and bottom! "
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and her voice gradually took on a strong sense of hatred:
"The master of the Water Mansion is just a villain who took advantage of the situation! He stole the treasure and made the whole country angry! This little thief who steals the country will never redeem himself! When I succeed in ascending the dragon..."
There was silence for a while, and Su Xing quickly performed a small magic technique to isolate internal and external sounds. The Five Punishment characters glowed slightly in the body, seeming to be a blessing to similar spells.
Although there was no one nearby, there were only some mortals building an altar in the distance. However, if a few people are close to Pinjiang, their lives may be in danger if they are heard by any of the soldiers and crabs in the river.
Perhaps alerted by Su Xing's spell-casting movements, Chili cursed and murmured:
"What am I talking about? Mortals are innocent. How can I, a little demon, comment on the Lord of the Water Mansion?"
His tone changed again, going crazy:
"No, I am the Dragon Girl. I want to restore order. Right now, I have not broken the mystery of the womb. When I succeed in ascending the dragon... I will no longer be that little demon. I am the Dragon Girl... ...Dragon Lady.”
Su Xing frowned slightly. The further he got to Pinjiang, the dragon seemed to be getting more and more wrong.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before he fell silent again, staying in the fish basket and saying no more.
To be honest, from the beginning to the end, Su Xing didn't quite believe that this dragon species was really the reincarnation of the dragon girl.
There was no other reason. Lu Ke had seen this dragon species with his own eyes. If it was really a dragon girl, he would not let Su Xing take her away. Moreover, Su Xing had heard about it all the way, and just like the dragon species in his hand, the other dragon species also had their own unique characteristics.
Although Red Carp is the best among them, it doesn't mean much.
After recovering their thoughts, the group of people continued walking towards Pinjiang City.
The closer we get to Pinjiang, the more perfect the altars are built. The altars are one after another, like a long dragon disappearing in the mountains and forests.
When they arrived at the head of this long dragon, a huge city stood before their eyes.
When Su Xing heard the news of the city's closure from Lu Yuan, he thought Pinjiang City would be deserted.
But to his surprise, as soon as he saw the city, he heard a roaring noise in the distance. When I got closer, I saw ships flying in the harbor, like spindles weaving the great river Pingjiang.
On the shore, people flowed like ants, shoulder to shoulder. Not only that, outside the city, tents of various sizes stretched for miles. It was getting late, and pillars of smoke rose from them. The gathering smoke was like dark clouds covering Pinjiang City.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone's faces didn't show panic, but instead looked expectant and pious, Su Xing might have thought that there was a natural disaster due to war, so he fled to Pinjiang City.
Just about ten miles away from Pinjiang City, I saw several monks running towards them from a distance.
Su Xing's heart moved. He just felt a wave of mana sweep across a few people. It should be the protective formation of Pinjiang City. This should also be the reason why a monk found several people ten miles apart.
When I entered Pinjiang City some time ago, I only felt fluctuations in the formation after entering the city, but now it is much stricter.
When I arrived, I saw that the leader was wearing the same water service uniform as Lu Yuan, and he was in the state of Qi training.
They were polite, and after greeting each other, they talked about the current rules of Pinjiang City one by one.
Just as Lu Yuan said, Pinjiang City is indeed closed, and only monks who are connected to the fate of the dragon species can enter.
But this method is only for monks, not for mortals. On the contrary, because the Dragon Climbing Conference is coming, under Pinjiang's rule, and even further away, mortals who have faith in the Dragon God gather from all directions to Pinjiang like pilgrims.
This has resulted in the current situation where several people are filled with water.
Su Xing had officially completed the fateful connection with Chi Li on the road. Chi Li did not refuse, on the contrary, he was a little impatient.
It is not difficult to perform the technique. Take a drop of blood from each and recite the "Dragon Sacrifice Technique" formula, then it turns into two red mist and merges into Chi Li and Su Xing respectively.
After informing the waiter in front of him about this matter, he saw him reciting a mantra, his eyes brightened slightly, and he looked at Su Xing:
"Fellow Taoist has indeed been connected with the fate of the dragon species. In this case, you should be my distinguished guest in Pinjiang. Chen Lujia, you will take these distinguished guests to Pinjiang City for a rest."
Behind him was a young monk who responded. He was not wearing a red water-waiting uniform, but only an ordinary monk's clothes. He greeted Su Xing politely and walked forward.
Not long after, Pinjiang City came to a few people.
