Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 276 Taihu Dragon Lord
There is a unique cave under the water of Taihu Lake.

The flowing water above and around it was blocked by an invisible force, forming a huge hemispherical space.

A series of buildings stand in it, with red walls, green tiles, and jade towers, which are extremely splendid.

A boy who was no more than six or seven years old appeared out of thin air in front of the palace's main entrance.

He first looked up at the vertical plaque with gold characters "Taihu Dragon Palace" hanging on the door, and then spoke to the two rows of shrimp-headed guards wearing armor and holding guns in front of the door. His old voice was completely inconsistent with his age and appearance: "Please inform Mr. Long. Then he said that an old friend ‘Tian Gu’ came to visit!”

Those shrimp soldiers did have some eyesight, and they knew that whoever came here was an extraordinary person, so they immediately sent one of them to report. Not long after, a bald man with short limbs and no more than five feet in height came away. When I came out, I saw the boy who called himself "Tian Gu" and looked up and down. He laughed and said, "How did the old Zen Master become like this?"

Tian Gu smiled bitterly and said: "General Yuan was laughing. I was accidentally plotted by someone and my body was damaged. Now I am lucky enough to use some means that I arranged earlier to revive my body."

General Yuan said: "I didn't expect that the old Zen Master would suffer such a disaster. It's really a shame!"

Although he expressed sympathy, he could not hide the gloating look in his eyes.

Tian Gu turned a blind eye and followed the other party's lead into the palace gate.

The king smiled and said: "Grandma Xie said that you took the greatest credit this time. What do you think?"

The king in the palace clapped and laughed, looking at the old woman standing below and nodding in approval.

Passing through many palace corridors along the way, we arrived at a magnificent and magnificent palace.

General Yuan saw that the king above him was immersed in the music and dance in the palace, so he temporarily stopped outside the door, and Tian Gu could only stand beside him.

Among these dancers, the pair in the middle is particularly outstanding. The boy is as vigorous as an eagle, and the girl is as graceful as a swallow. They dance together as if they are flying together. The twists and turns are in harmony with the rhythm of the music. During the dance, countless colorful petals appear out of thin air around them. The two danced around their bodies.

The king laughed: "You are a smart man. No wonder Grandma Jie favors you. But how can I be a mean king who refuses to reward his merits? Come here, give Jiang Aduan a colorful brocade dress and a golden beard. Get a hair crown!”

After a long while, the dance ended, and the petals around the young men scattered in all directions, but disappeared into nothingness before landing, leaving only the refreshing fragrance filling the hall.

The king's eyes moved to the young dancers who were kneeling in the hall after the dance: "Jiang Atuan, come forward!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Grandma Jie hurriedly saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the music and dance are perfect. It is because Aduan is so talented that he can master the dance in just one month. He coordinates perfectly with the sunset and the Nizi. This servant dare not Take credit.”

The young man who led the dance before hurriedly walked forward, prostrated himself on the ground and did not dare to raise his head: "The villain is here."

"This song "The Flying Dance of Qiantang" was finally successfully rehearsed before my uncle's birthday. Grandma Xie's contribution is not small!"

A majestic king in a crown and robe sat in the hall, and at his head stood an old woman in palace attire with chicken skin and white hair. In the hall, there were two rows of young men and women aged fourteen or fifteen, dancing to the melodious music played by musicians on both sides.

Jiang Aduan said obediently: "It's all thanks to Grandma Jie's careful guidance through words and deeds, and the proper cooperation of the brothers and sisters of the 'wicker department' and 'swallow department' that we have this song "The Dance of the Flying Thunder in Qiantang". How dare you take credit for it?"

Someone immediately delivered the reward on a tray.

Jiang Aduan kowtowed and thanked him again and again, and then accepted it. He was also ordered to change his clothes and crown in the palace.

The clothes are colorful and the rays are brilliant; the crown is golden and beard is inlaid with pearls; the person is like a jade tree, shining brightly out of the crowd. When everyone in the hall saw it, they all praised him. Among them, the girl named "Wanxia" who danced with Jiang Aduan was even more brilliant.

Only then did the king look at General Yuan and Tian Gu at the entrance of the palace, and waved his hands to order the dancers below to separate on both sides.

General Yuan led Tian Gu into the palace and stood opposite Grandma Jie.

Tian Gu stepped forward and saluted, "The poor monk has seen Dragon Lord."

This king is Ao Lang, the dragon king who controls the waters of Taihu Lake. Now he has formed a dragon ball. His realm is comparable to that of a fourth-grade human warrior or monk, and his strength is far superior due to the unique talents of the dragon clan.

Naturally, his eyesight was far beyond that of General Yuan. He could see through Tian Gu's true nature at a glance. He frowned and asked, "Why did the Zen master turn himself into a 'celestial ghost'?"

Tian Gu did not hide anything, he recounted his experience exactly, and finally clasped his hands and bowed: "The poor monk came here to ask for the Dragon Palace's most precious treasure, 'Dragon's Horn Glue'."

Ao Lang's eyes flashed and he asked: "Zen master wants to switch to the path of 'Du Tian Tian Gui'?"

Tian Gu sighed: "The poor monk has lost his body. Although he transformed the soul into the body of a 'celestial ghost' with the help of the secret hand arranged on the doll named 'Li Zhuer', he has lost the space to rise. He can only Only by relying on the 'Dragon Horn Glue' to reshape the body can one hope to be promoted to a 'Dutian Tiangui' comparable to the fourth level."

Ao Lang shook his head and said: "Although the respected master Xu Hongru has a good relationship with Gu's uncle, and the Zen master is Gu's old friend, 'Dragon Horn Glue' is the most precious treasure of the Dragon Palace, so it is really not easy to give it to someone!"

Tian Gu heard that although the other party mentioned the "friendship" between the two generations, the last sentence "it is not convenient to agree to this easily" clearly revealed the meaning of "transaction". He secretly cursed in his heart that the dragon clan is indeed a greedy man who only opens his eyes to money. However, he remained calm and said with a very sincere expression: "The poor monk also knows that this move is really difficult for someone to do, so he plans to use a piece of news to make a deal with Lord Long."

Ao Lang muttered: "I don't know what kind of news it is, but it can be compared with the treasure of my Dragon Palace!"

Tian Gu said calmly: "What is the whereabouts of the 'Cicada Wing Knife', one of the two great treasures that the Buddhist disciple Xuanzang carried with him in the past?"

Ao Lang stood up suddenly: "Is this true?"

Tianzhu smiled and said: "Speaking of it, Long Jun has some connections with Zen Master Xuanzang. You should know the origins of the 'Cicada Wing Knife' and 'Du'e Chanyi', and also know the mystery hidden in them, but I don't know if this news is worth it. A portion of 'dragon horn glue'?"

Ao Lang pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "It was just a joke with Lord Long just now. Based on our friendship, what's the value of just 'Longjiaojiao'? Grandma Jie, go to Gu's treasure house to get a copy." Come!"

Grandma Xie bowed and said, "My maid, you obey!"

Then he turned around and went to the back. Not long after, he came back with a jade vase of mutton fat about one foot tall, with a narrow neck and a big belly, but he had no intention of going forward and handing it to Tian Gu.

Tian Gu knew that Ao Lang was not a hawk when he saw a rabbit, so he did not lie any more and sighed: "Actually, the poor monk just now told me the whereabouts of the 'Cicada Wing Knife' - the poor monk was cut into pieces with a knife."

Ao Lang immediately realized: "You said the person who killed you used the 'Cicada Wing Knife'?"

Tian Gu nodded: "Exactly!"

Ao Lang looked at him and sneered: "The Zen Master is so calculating. He not only exchanged a piece of news for the treasure of the Dragon Palace, but he also wanted to use it to kill people!"

Tian Gu smiled and asked: "Even if it's a 'borrowed knife' to kill someone, I wonder if Lord Long will kill him or not?"

Ao Lang said without thinking: "Kill!"
