Su Xing and the other five looked at each other and began to meditate individually to restore their condition to its peak.
Not long after, the faint noise in the distance stopped, and everyone on the dragon platform felt something and opened their eyes one after another.
Su Xingxian saw the slightly larger bluestone platform next to it, which was filled with ordinary dragon species. At a glance, there were hundreds of people.
Looking across the river, there were already many people sitting on the viewing platform. The seats on the highest platform are luxurious. Among them sat some Dragon Temple monks wearing water-waiting uniforms, all of whom were quite old.
In addition, there were several monks with different looks. Su Xing looked at each other and felt a faint pressure. They were probably the Foundation Establishment Realm monks invited by Pinjiang City to watch the ceremony.
Suddenly, Su Xing understood why the place gradually became quiet.
I saw a woman walking up the stairs step by step on the white jade platform on the other side. She looked to be in her thirties and was wearing a loose temple dress.
The red on the temple's congratulatory attire is a bit darker than that on the water attendant's attire, as bright as blood, and he wears a sacrificial crown on his head.
Su Xing remembers her, her name is Lu Ke. When I first met her, I didn't feel the fluctuation of spiritual power in her body, she was just a mortal.
However, at this moment she faced the gazes of many monks. Even if the foundation-building monks exerted substantial pressure, they seemed to have no reaction at all.
She concentrated on measuring each white jade staircase with her feet, as if counting how many there were. Under the expectation of everyone, Lu Ke finally slowly climbed to the highest point of the White Jade Platform.
A smile appeared on her face, which came from her rather beautiful face. Su Xing couldn't feel any emotion in it, only indifference.
It was as if the person had been blurred in the broad red temple robes and turned into a symbol.
Just when Su Xing thought Lu Ke would say something, she just glanced at the viewing platform and the two bluestone platforms on the other side, and then stood quietly.
After a while, she looked up at the sky and showed a vague smile:
"Noon has arrived, and the climb to the dragon begins!"
At the highest point of the viewing platform, many water attendants looked at each other, and someone scolded:
"Where are the prayers? If you don't recite the prayers, how can you offer sacrifices to the gods?"
However, under the instructions of Miao Zhu, Climbing the Dragon just started.
On the bluestone platform, a monk followed the previous instructions from the Dragon Temple and took out dragon seeds. There are only a few people like Su Xing who directly put them in fish baskets. Most of them were carefully preserved with various spiritual objects. For example, Yun Meirong took out a transparent ball, filled with clouds, and faintly watched a red carp swimming happily.
Everyone used their own methods, and one tailed dragon was like a dumpling. Crossing one parabola after another, he jumped into the Pinjiang River in front of him and disappeared.
On Su Xing's side, the four monks from the Dragon Temple were the first to throw the dragon seeds into the river. After the small half-dragon submerged into the river, the bluestone platform beneath his feet suddenly shook, and the square stone slab above it slowly floated.
Su Xing took a look and saw that the floating stone platform was about three feet thick. Although it is separated from the trapezoidal stone platform below, if you look closely, you can see that the two are not made of the same material. Although they are all cyan, the stone platform under your feet is more cyan and rich in water.
Almost at the moment when the Blood Essence Bluestone Platform rose, the ordinary bluestone platform also rose. As if being pulled, the two stone platforms slowly floated directly above the Pinjiang River.
Su Xing could feel invisible forces pouring out of the river, as if they were holding up two high platforms.
He didn't hesitate long and released the red carp from the fish basket. At this time, he also observed the appearance of dragons in the others.
The nine-tailed dragon species at the essence-blood level are all red carp-like. But the one of the dead old man is the most special, the carp is more than two feet long. The rest of the red carps are only about one foot.
Even the several essence-blood monks in the Dragon Temple looked surprised when they saw his dragon species. It seems that this stiff old man has many secrets hidden in him.
There are ordinary dragon species in the sky on the bluestone platform, but there are all kinds of dragon species. Most of them are similar to red carp, but there are also shellfish, crabs, shrimps, turtles, etc.
The two stone platforms were quietly suspended in the air. As more and more dragon species fell into the river, Su Xing felt that the energy surrounding the bluestone platforms was getting stronger and more powerful, and was faintly entangled with him.
"This is..." Jiang Yu had a guessing look on his face.
"This is a natural formation created by the mixture of qi, blood and destiny. It is also the boat that we and the dragon species share." A hoarse and sharp voice came from the dead old man.
Everyone was thoughtful, Jiang Merong glanced at the other side, his eyes flashed:
"I haven't seen anyone coming from Shuifu Mansion."
A few people were talking when suddenly there was an exclamation not far away. Someone fell into the water from the ordinary bluestone platform.
The stiff old man raised his eyes and said:
"Idiot! If you don't let go of the dragon seed, when the natural formation on the bluestone platform is formed, those who have no destiny connection will naturally be excluded."
These people are all smart people, and as soon as their minds change, they can guess what some people are planning.
The waiter Pinjiang said before that the bluestone platform and the dragon species would move forward together on the Yuelong Gate and gradually climb higher. Some monks will naturally think that if they wait until the Dragon Climbing Festival is halfway through and then release the dragon species, it will save half the effort.
So he ignored some of the waiter's advice and hid the dragon seed. Unexpectedly, it was now directly excluded from the bluestone platform and fell into the water.
There were a few more screams of falling into the water, but most of the remaining people had hurriedly abandoned the dragon species.
Fortunately, although the natural formation of the bluestone platform had already become substantial at this time, Su Xing put his hand on it. It's like touching a wall and not being able to get out.
But it seemed to have no effect on the dragon seed. After the remaining people threw the dragon seed, they could barely stay on it.
Glancing down, he saw the monks who had fallen into the water. Like a drowned rat, he swam up from the water, and at most he had an argument with the Pinjiang City waiter.
But under the eyes of many foundation-building monks, how could they dare to cause any trouble. Even if he was unwilling to lose the opportunity to climb the dragon, he could only leave in despair.
Yun Meirong said with some surprise:
"So, you can just quit like this and you don't have to suffer the pain of burning your tail that day?"
The dead old man gave a faint "hum" and said:
"It's not that simple. Once destiny is linked, destiny is entangled in the 'Dragon Gate'. Just like a contract is concluded, there is no way to escape and there is nowhere to escape.
Where can you board if you want to, but not if you don’t want to wait? You might as well take a look at where those dragon-tailed dragons have gone? "
Several people looked down and saw that the water was boiling slightly, but there were many tail dragon species writhing and swimming on the water, extremely excited.
Among them, the essence-blood nine-tailed dragon species appears to be juxtaposed in the front, clearly distinguishable from the ordinary dragon species in the rear.
Although the ordinary dragon species in the rear were numerous and mixed, Su Xing and the others were careful to observe them. Then they discovered that those monks who fell into the water would often have a flash of red pop out of their bodies, and they couldn't stop it even if they wanted to.
After these red ones fell into the river, they turned into dragon species. But unlike other vibrant and free-swimming dragon species, these dragon species are like being wrapped around boulders. Even if they struggle hard, they quickly sink to the bottom of the water and disappear.
Everyone was slightly shocked, Dragon Gate... what they have to do today is to jump over Dragon Gate, but what exactly is Dragon Gate. In the words of Taoist Die Zheng, the dragon gate is not some virtual concept, but seems to be a real thing.
With this "Dragon Gate" around, Su Xing had a feeling of those lost dragon species that were not linked to their destiny. Or those monks who have connected with the dragon species but are unable to be present today due to various reasons, cannot escape the Dragon Climbing Conference that is being held.
Just like what the old man said, the contract has been concluded. There is no escape and no escape.
