Chapter 235 Yuyu: Grandma, today is the day(1/3)
Arowana still remembers that when he was a child, his family lived in a lake with abundant water and grass.
The lake is close to the snow-capped mountains and is home to schools of fish, and occasionally dangerous birds fly over the lake.
Arowana's first memory of his parents is the fearful look in his parents' eyes when they faced him.
Because from the day he was born, Arowana has been a special case.
Its scales are a completely different golden color from those of ordinary arowana.
This golden scale did not bring good luck to the dragon fish, but instead attracted ostracism from its companions, suspicion from foreign tribes, and covetousness from natural enemies.
During a migration, the eye-catching golden scales attracted the attention of the eagle.
The parents hit the water and helped the dragon fish escape. After a narrow escape, only grandma and the dragon fish were left to depend on each other.
People of the same race often besiege and bully the arowana because it brings danger.
Whenever this happens, the dragon fish will run away crying to see his grandma with wounds all over his body.
Grandma will tell the story about the dragon fish leaping over the dragon gate and turning into a real dragon.
I will tell it some old-fashioned truths.
Arowana often thinks that maybe even grandma herself doesn’t believe these legends and is just telling a story that has been passed down.
But these are comforting words that are firmly engraved in Arowana's mind, making him often think of his grandma and often dream of Longmen Pass.
On an ordinary afternoon, the dragon fish took the water plants home and saw a holy and beautiful jade dragon in the sky.
Then I saw grandma flying up and flying towards the jade dragon.
The dragon fish wanted to ask grandma where she was going and whether the jade dragon was turned into a fish, but in the end she just stared at everything blankly.
It saw Yulong taking grandma and flying to the snow mountain.
Later, it heard from its companions that grandma might have gone to the East China Sea, because all the fish in the four seas are under the control of the dragon clan in the East China Sea.
Everyone said that grandma went to enjoy a happy life... Arowana was also happy for grandma.
But I still want to see grandma.
So I wandered along the snow-capped mountains and into Sichuan.
Then it breaks into the Yangtze River along its tributaries, and rushes to the East China Sea in a mighty way.
When I was so hungry and dizzy, I caught the dragon fish.
And then...
"Hey, Yuyu, wake up."
Luo He poked the napping Yuyu and said:
"We are coming to [Pengshan Island] soon!"
Yuyu opened his eyes in confusion and found himself lying on the back of the turtle shell, and the face of the young man in white came into view.
"Ugh..." Yuyu spit out bubbles.
"You said you dreamed about grandma?" Luo He said in surprise.
Yuyu nodded his head and said that he would definitely find the [Jade Dragon Horn] to give the gang of Dragon Palace thieves some clues.
Luo He smiled and poked a bright red spot on the forehead of the golden dragon carp and said:
"Haven't you always wanted to come to the East China Sea? Let's take a look at the surrounding scenery now."
The fish was startled, spit out a bubble of water, wrapped it around itself, and floated out of thin air.
Looking around, I saw only the vast expanse of the East China Sea, with only a floating turtle shell exposed, carrying a cross-legged young man in white shirt, moving slowly on the sea.
The sea breeze blew slowly, stirring the waves, and white ripples appeared on the blue sea surface, just like the moon in the water rippled with bubbles.
There is a lonely island at the end of the horizon, shrouded in clouds and mist, as beautiful as a fairyland.
Yuyu's eyes were a little dazed for a moment:
"Wow..." (Donghai, so beautiful...)
"Hey, nine hundred years old." Luo He knocked on the turtle shell, "I want to ask you about someone."
"You can just say it," the old turtle said in a deep voice.
"There is an arowana, uh, a pet of the same quality as it."
Luo He pointed at the dazed fish: "It's an old dragon fish. It's said that it came to the Dragon Palace. Do you have any impressions?"
The astrolabe turtle looked at the dragon fish, pondered for a long time, and slowly shook his head:
"To tell you the truth, no arowana dares to swim into the Dragon Palace because the name is taboo... Therefore, the arowana you mentioned cannot be in the Dragon Palace."
"Are you sure?" Luo He frowned.
"OK." Astrolabe Turtle nodded.
On the vast sea, the fish suddenly fell into confusion.
The sea breeze blew the two beards of the dragon-bearded carp, and its eyes were confused, feeling lonely as never before.
"Woo..."
No matter how beautiful the East China Sea is, if grandma is not here, what's the point of me coming...
Luo He faced the sea breeze and listened to the fish asking himself, sitting cross-legged on the turtle shell, his eyes twinkling.
It took so long, so much effort, and so much expectation.
As a result, Yuyu not only failed to see her grandma in the East China Sea, but also saw the ugliness and schemes of the dragon clan.
This must be a big blow to it.
However, it is only one step away from Pengshan Island and Yulongjiao.
Whether to cheer up or give up depends on the joint efforts of the trainer and the pet.
Luo He's black hair was blowing slightly in the sea breeze, his eyes were deep, and he slowly said:
"The meaning is that you are always on the road ahead."
"Ugh?" Arowana turned to look at Luo He.
"Yuyu, all your efforts will keep you moving forward."
Luo He said: "We found the Jade Dragon Pearl, which allows you to learn dragon power, we found the Jade Dragon Scale, which allows you to control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and we also found the Jade Dragon Beard, which allows you to have the blood of the dragon clan and evolve into the Dragon Carp King...
"
Yuyu interjected: "Wow." (Aren't these the gifts given to us by Miss Jiang?)
Luo He coughed lightly and said:
"In short, we still don't know the power of this last token."
"But as long as we find this last token, it means that we have completed a precious journey."
Luo He looked at the dragon-bearded carp and said with a smile:
"I don't know what the end of the journey is now, but what I can be sure of is that, Yuyu, you have become countless times stronger than when you started."
Yuyu stared at Luo He blankly.
After a while, tears welled up in its eyes: "Woo~!"
"Okay, okay."
Luo He smiled and comforted:
"Pengshan Island is ahead, let's get ready to go up the mountain!"
Pengshan Island was getting closer and closer, but the sky gradually became gloomy.
Dark clouds hung over the sea, and the sea wind blew up big waves, bumping Luo He on the turtle shell.
Hoo, ho—
The temperature seemed to drop suddenly, and the cold wind blowing from the sea was biting.
Luo He stretched out his palm to catch the tiny ice crystals falling in the air, and his eyes suddenly froze.
Directly in front of Pengshan Island, a figure holding a halberd floated out of thin air, with an aura as cold as ice.
The person who came had a dragon horn on his head, a halberd in his hand, and his face showed no emotion or anger.
Prince of Dragon Palace, Ao Zhou!
"Luo, Mr. Luo He."
Astrolabe Turtle’s voice was a little nervous:
"I may not be able to take you forward any further!"
"fine."
Luo He smiled slightly and said:
To be continued...
