Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 704
While the heavy rain was falling, Li Xiuyuan turned back to Longyin Lake.

He had doubts in his heart, and he needed to ask for a reason. Before, the real Guo Zhen had mentioned something to him cryptically, which gave him some clues, but he was not sure yet.

now.

Because of the fire, there were only people who kept fetching water to put out the fire beside Longyin Lake. The bustling scene of the temple fair before was gone, and with the torrential rain, there were even fewer people nearby, and the entire lakeside was empty.

Li Xiuyuan stood alone beside Longyin Lake, the heavy rain fell, not even a foot near his body, he looked at the turbulent lake calmly, and waited quietly.

"Young master~!"

After about a while, a child about 12 years old walked over from nowhere, and he bowed his hands in a respectful manner.

Li Xiuyuan turned his head and said, "Yangtze River King, do you know that there are dragons being suppressed in this lake?"

"I didn't know it before, but after coming here, I know that there is indeed a breath of a real dragon, so there is not even a single fish in this lake, and all of them have been scared away, so the water surface is clear and there are no waves." King Yangzijiang glanced at it and immediately noticed it.

He was originally a great monster in the water, how could he not recognize the breath of a real dragon.

"I'm going down to meet him and ask him a few questions. You can cast a spell on me to open a waterway and let me go down." Li Xiuyuan said.

"My lord, this matter is quite dangerous. Since this dragon is suppressed, it must do a lot of evil. It is an evil dragon. If you go into the water to see him, what should you do if he does evil? The water is no match for a real dragon at all, a real dragon is born to control water
The fetish of the non-water demon can not be compared. "Yangzijiang King said in surprise.

"If you do evil, you don't need to continue to suppress him, just punish him. It just so happens that my armor was broken last time and I need dragon scales to repair it." Li Xiuyuan said.

King Yangzijiang couldn't help being a little speechless.

A real dragon will be punished if he wants to, and he will take dragon scales to repair his armor. In the whole world, only this Li Shengren has such courage and courage. Ordinary people will kneel and kowtow when they see a real dragon. Even the emperor had to offer sacrifices and sing praises.

"Since the young master has made a decision, I will cast a spell to clear the way for the young master." Yang Zijiang King saluted.

Immediately without hesitation, he braved the heavy rain and jumped into Longyin Lake.

Immediately, a huge Chinese alligator rolled in the lake, and a huge whirlpool appeared in the surrounding lake.

A channel appeared in the vortex, this channel went straight to the bottom of the lake, without leaving a drop of water, even an ordinary person could follow the center of the vortex to the bottom of the lake.

With a wave of Li Xiuyuan's hand, he used a trick to block the passage, and then auspicious clouds rose up under his feet, flew up and slowly fell towards the bottom of the lake.

A thick damp and fishy smell rushed over.

The rocks at the bottom of the lake were flying, one on the left, one on the right, like a big mountain exploded, the boulders splashed, and there were hideous claw marks on them, which were left by some kind of beast.

"I saw the real dragon before. It's on the side of the Lake Heart Tower. Go there and have a look." Li Xiuyuan took out a precious orb from the ghost king's bag.

The shining light illuminated the surrounding area, and even the pitch-black lake water became crystal clear.

This is a pearl brought from Tianmu Mountain. Although I don't know what it is useful for, but because it is full of light, it is more powerful than the night pearl, so he keeps it by his side for lighting.

"Crash~!"

The lake water rolled over, and a channel stretched forward.

The passage ahead is deep and dark, and the damp and cold atmosphere makes people very uncomfortable, as if leading to the depths of hell.

Li Xiuyuan was fearless, he stepped on the auspicious clouds, and flew forward with the orb in his hand.

"My lord, the aura of the real dragon is getting stronger and stronger. I'm afraid it's just ahead. Be careful." A crocodile appeared in the lake beside him, swimming beside him, as if wary of possible appearances around him. danger.

"Don't worry, I know what I know." Li Xiuyuan said.

He can even kill a red-bearded dragon, there is no dragon in the world that can compare to that thing.

gurgling, gurgling~!
The sudden light at the bottom of the dark lake seemed to startle something.

A huge black shadow swayed its body at the bottom of the lake. There were vague impacts of iron chains and the sound of boulders rolling. In an instant, the whole bottom of the lake became muddy and messy, and everything in front of us could no longer be seen clearly. up.

"Closer, closer, and closer." A dull voice rumbled like a thunderstorm, humming like a tiger and a lion.

A pair of yellow eyes stared at the approaching light in the muddy lake water,

Wait for the light to approach a certain range.

Sudden.

The lake water rolled over, causing huge waves, and a huge black figure rushed out of the muddy lake water, instantly breaking through the barrier of King Yangzijiang's spell.

Immediately, Li Xiuyuan saw a huge dragon's head in the lake in front of him. It opened its mouth wide, let out a terrifying dragon roar, and bit it like a roaring beast, as if it wanted to swallow him in one mouthful. The dragon's eyes are full of violence and fury, and there are no real dragons anymore

It should have the demeanor.

"Om~!"

However, at this moment, a red light suddenly appeared in Li Xiuyuan's hand. The red light was dazzling, like a knife like a sword, and finally condensed into the shape of a long cone. The red cone pointed at the charging dragon The lower jaw of the head, as long as he moves forward half a foot, the long red cone can be easily

It is easy to pierce the dragon's head.

"Ow~!"

There was an unbelievable look of astonishment in the dragon's chant, his eyes opened wide, and the big mouth that was about to bite off was abruptly stopped in mid-air, and the picture seemed to freeze for a while.

"Bite, keep going, don't worry about my feelings." Li Xiuyuan said.

"No wonder Li Taibai said before that a dragon cannot fall to the ground, otherwise it will be tainted with vulgarity, and it will not be a dragon. It is just a monster with a dragon shape. Now it seems that it is true. When it comes up, it wants to eat people. It is indeed like a monster. There is no difference, since it is not as good as today, I will kill you
, maybe your corpse is more useful to me. "

The real dragon in front of him felt a kind of fear from the heart when he saw the red light.

He can fully believe that as long as he moves forward by half a foot, his head will be pierced and he will immediately turn into a dead dragon.

If this spell is true, it should be Dragon Slaying.

There are people in the world who have learned such spells.

"Fuck, just kidding. Benlong just stays at the bottom of the lake to be bored. It's rare for someone to come and talk to Benlong. He got a little uncontrollable in his excitement and frightened this son. It's really Benlong's fault. Benlong apologizes to you. It's gone." The huge dragon head was retracted, he smiled mischievously, and said

There was a bit of embarrassment and fear in the air.

"Young master, have you eaten tonight? Do you want to drink? I still have a few jars of good wine here."

After speaking, he stretched out his dragon claws, pulled out some wine jars from somewhere, and landed on the mud in front of him.

"The humble house is simple, don't be surprised by this young master."

"As a real dragon, you are full of humanity, and you have learned the communication skills of a whole body, but it can be seen that you have been suppressed here for a long time, and your divinity has faded a lot." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Ask you a few questions. If it's convenient to answer, I won't treat you badly. If it's not convenient to answer, you will continue to be suppressed here, and I won't bother you again."

The implication is that you should be serious and put away your thoughts, otherwise you will be ready to continue to be trapped here.

"Sir, please tell me, please tell me, Benlong promises to know everything, and there is nothing in this capital that I don't know." The real dragon said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "What is your origin? All the real dragons in the world have their origins. It is impossible to add a real dragon for no reason. With your ability, at least you are the dragon king in a certain big river, the water god in a certain big lake, mixed This is the first time in my life I have seen such a poor dragon."

When asked about his history, this real dragon raised his eyelids slightly, looked at the lake, showing a look of nostalgia: "This dragon was once a carefree dragon that roamed the sky. The sun was shining brightly that day. The clouds are thickening, it is a good day when the clouds are riding the fog, Benlong seems to be able to smell

On that day, the fragrance of flowers wafted from the mountains and rivers, and I felt the cool breeze above the mountains.”

"Okay, let's go to the second question. Do you know the reason for the fire in the capital today?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"This dragon hasn't finished the first question yet." The real dragon said in surprise.

"Needless to say, let's talk about it next time when we have time." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Oh, that's fine. Next time, Benlong will have a good memory and talk about it in detail." The real dragon said: "The capital city is on fire today, um. It was caused by this dragon."

"That's it, then go to die." Li Xiuyuan pulled out the Tai'a sword from his waist, ready to cut off the dragon's head.

"Wait, wait, although this matter is caused by this dragon, it has nothing to do with this dragon." Seeing the golden energy above the sword, the real dragon hurriedly said in fright. They all retracted into the mud pit like loach.

Li Xiuyuan said: "The reason?"

"It's a long story, and it starts with Benlong becoming the Dragon of the Song Dynasty to protect the country. It was a dark and windy night, and the autumn was crisp and clear. Benlong came back from his relatives' house in Beihai happily, because After drinking a little wine, I became a little dizzy, accidentally flew off the road, and accidentally flew
Arriving in the sky above the capital city." Zhenlong narrowed his eyes, as if recalling the high-spirited days of his youth.

"The Dragon of Protecting the Nation? To make a long story short." Li Xiuyuan's expression froze, with a strange look on his face.

He knew that in all dynasties, if a court wanted long-term peace and stability, it had to have a real dragon descend to the earth to suppress the country's destiny and ensure its prosperity and continuity. Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties would have such auspicious things as the real dragon entering the dream and the real dragon appearing.

That was not a lie, nor was it a lie fabricated by the emperor to prove that he was justified in seizing Jiang Shanshun, but that there was indeed a real dragon coming down to earth.

The dragon who protects the country of the Han Dynasty is the red-bearded dragon.

And the Dragon of Protecting the Country of the Great Song Kingdom is actually the dragon that was crushed at the bottom of the lake in front of him?

The Dragon of Protecting the Country has been suppressed. No wonder the Great Song Dynasty is in such chaos. There are bandits inside and powerful enemies outside.

It turned out that the whole dynasty was unlucky.

"The dragon is a long story short. The dragon is the dragon of the Song Dynasty to protect the country and suppress the national destiny. Because the Song Dynasty was born in response to the virtue of fire, the dragon is naturally a red dragon, but you have also seen that the dragon was suppressed. Here, there is a surplus of fire virtues in the capital, which accumulates into disasters, and its own fire comes out in response to the situation and disappears.
The excess fire virtue is consumed, so the capital is often on fire, not once in the capital. "

"This time, I didn't expect the fire to be so prosperous. It must be that there is a ghost in the dark. If I am not trapped, this kind of fire will not happen. The fire spirit is just what I need to nourish my cultivation. Ah, if you let Benlong go out earlier, this big fire Benlong would be killed in an instant.

can calm down. " said the real dragon.

"Huode, fire?" Li Xiuyuan frowned.

If analyzed in this way, it really has almost the same meaning as what the national teacher said. This is God's will, not a man-made disaster.

It is the imbalance of the five elements, the excess of fire virtue, and a disaster brewing. It is no wonder that Guo Zhen's begging for rain will fail.

"You are the dragon who protects the country, the real dragon descends to earth, who dares to suppress you?" Li Xiuyuan said.

The real dragon said: "I don't know, the dragon just took a nap and was imprisoned at the bottom of the lake. He was tied up with a dragon rope, and he was pressing down a treasure temple, which enshrined a Buddha Lord Tathagata. Borrowing the power of Wanmin's incense and fire, I can suppress Benlong here and cannot move, other than that, soaking in this place
The icy lake also hinders Benlong from absorbing the energy of fire virtue. If he can't advance, he will retreat. Otherwise, how can a mere treasure temple suppress Benlong. "

"In a few years, it is not impossible to be trapped here to death."

"You are really a confused dragon." Li Xiuyuan's face darkened: "Such vigilance deserves to be suppressed here."

"As a dragon protecting the country, this dragon is a respectable person. How could he think of a lunatic attacking this dragon." The real dragon argued, his voice was very aggrieved.

"A decent person? He was thinking of eating me before. This is not something a decent person should do."

"There is resentment in my heart, and I can't help venting it out." Zhenlong said confidently.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Then have you ever eaten a human being?"

"Who would send it to Benlong's mouth?"

The real dragon said that he tried to shake the dragon's body, but he could only move around the lake tower, and he couldn't make much movement. It can be seen that cannibalism is also a luxury.

"The last question. There are ghosts and gods in the fire. Those ghosts and gods are all wearing red robes and official hats. They can direct the fire. What's the reason?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Zhenlong said: "Benlong remembers that the official uniforms of the officials of the Song Dynasty are red. Are the official robes and hats of ghosts and gods the same as those of the officials of the Song Dynasty?"

"Indeed," Li Xiuyuan said.

"Those are not ghosts and gods, they are spiritual officials bred to correspond to those officials. It's just that those officials wear scarlet official uniforms, which correspond to fire virtue. Because they are greedy for money and sex, and have too many evil thoughts, the bred spiritual officials also do evil things. Seeing that the fire spread, not only did not put out the fire but expanded the fire,

If those officials had good thoughts and were upright, the spiritual officials bred would also be upright and noble. Not only would they not condone the fire, but they would try their best to extinguish the fire so that the disaster would not expand. "

"That's right." Li Xiuyuan bowed his head and pondered.
