Chapter 389 Dragon Island 2
Actually, what kind of feelings do I have towards dragons now? I really don’t know. On earth, Chinese people say that they are descendants of dragons. This is something to be proud of, but the descendants of dragons are obviously different from this. Similarly, although I have known about this for a long time, after I actually came to Long Island, my heart was actually empty. After all, I had been a "person" for so many years and could not change back to my identity so quickly. In the end, , I attribute my feelings towards the Dragon Clan to responsibility, because my identity, my mission, and their expectations of me, these things eventually turn into my responsibilities.
Even so, when I saw this extremely skinny old man kneeling to me on the ground, I still couldn't calm down. At that moment, my eyes were even a little wet, and I quickly fell to the ground. On the way back, Ao Jiang already told me about this issue. The great elder Ao Guang himself was seriously injured in the war that year. In order to create the barrier outside Dragon Island, he even exhausted all his cultivation. , Ao Guang now is actually just an old man in his twilight years.
He is a person who truly gives his life to his own race. Such a person is undoubtedly worthy of respect.
I wanted to help him, but when I touched his bony arm, I couldn't help but kneel down to him. He looked up at me and wanted to pull me up. While pulling me, he said: "Young Master, This can’t be done, it can’t be done.”
"There is nothing that cannot be done. When the Dragon Clan was in the most critical situation, my father sent me away. It was you who shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the entire race. I owe you. Now that I am back, I hope that I will be able to return the favor when I come back." It’s not too late. Great Elder, I swear to you, although I am still very weak now, as long as I am here, anyone who wants to hurt the Dragon Clan will definitely kill me first.” I said, I am actually not good at it. I say such sensational words, but in my current status, in order to reassure the Great Elder and to comfort these tribesmen who have been looking forward to my return for hundreds of years, I must say such words.
"It's not too late, it's not too late." The great elder still wanted to help me up.
Finally, we both helped each other and stood up. At this moment, the eyes of everyone in the dragon clan were red. This sad atmosphere may have infected the little girl Youruo, and she actually wiped away her tears too. I smiled at her Said: "Little girl, why are you crying again?"
"Why can't I cry? In fact, I know that the Dragon Clan has had a very bad life these years, because the same is true in Aoki City. The people in Sifang City want to drive us all away, but after all, my father is from the human race, and they still keep They have never taken any serious action, but they have never given up attacking Long Island." Youruo said.
"Okay, you are the girl of General Duanmu's family. Time flies so fast. The last time I saw you, you were not born yet. Come, let grandpa take a look." Ao Guang said.
Listening to his words, he doesn't sound like the great elder of the Dragon Clan, but a kind elder.
This little girl was also willing to get close to Ao Guang and ran to Ao Guang's side. Ao Guang took out a small knife from his waist. The knife was inlaid with gems and looked quite precious. Ao Guang said : "Grandpa got this accidentally when he was traveling in Sifang City in his early years. The first time I met you, little girl, I treated it as a meeting gift."
This jeweled thing naturally made the little girl like it, so she immediately took it, while Duanmu Lingxiu over there frowned and said: "You Ruo!"
Ao Guang waved his hand and said: "It's not a precious thing. Children can play with it if they like it. General Duanmu, your temper is still the same as before."
Ao Guang said so, but Duanmu Lingxiu didn't say anything. Youruo stuck out her tongue as if to demonstrate to Duanmu Lingxiu, and her playful look made us laugh.
At this time, Ao Jiang came over and said: "Great Elder, you haven't been in seclusion deep in Long Island, why did you come out?"
Ao Guang said: "The young master is back. I smelled his breath from a distance. It's exactly the same as Tianzun's. This is a great happy event for our dragon clan. Can you not come out?"
After saying that, Ao Guang waved his hand and said: "Let's go, the young master is back, let's go to the main hall."
The main hall of the dragon clan is not as majestic and imposing as I imagined. Except for the huge green dragon sculpture outside the main hall, the subsequent buildings are very simple and unpretentious. It is a palace built with huge bluestone slabs. After walking in
, the things inside are very simple, there are six stone benches, and there is a slightly larger one in front of the stone bench. Ao Guang pointed to the bench and said: "This is the place where Tianzun gave us discussions."
Apart from that, there is nothing else and the other rooms are empty.
"Is it that simple?" I asked. I couldn't believe that this was where the most powerful people in the world lived.
"After the war, the palace was destroyed, but even before, there was nothing else. Tianzun was obsessed with cultivation and almost didn't care about the affairs of the world." He said.
After visiting the main hall, there was a small tomb at the back of the main hall. There were a few small white flowers placed in front of the tomb. After arriving here, Ao Guang said softly: "Young Master, this is your mother's tomb."
I frowned and heard Miss Bai once say that in order to chase Tianzun, she worked hard to reach the realm of gods, but Tianzun finally chose a woman with no cultivation.
"Your mother was an ordinary woman from Fuyao City. Her lifespan was only a few hundred years. After she passed away, Tianzun buried her here." Ao Guang said.
I nodded, walked to the tomb, kowtowed a few times silently, and said to the tomb: "Mother, I'm back, although I have never seen you."
——After all the greetings were completed, Ao Guang seemed to have something to say to me, and asked Ao Jiang and Ao Hai to take the tribe to the Dragon Island to pick wild fruits and other kinds of food. After they left, Duanmu Lingxiu frowned and asked Ao
Guangdao: "Great Elder, when I left, there were still more than thirty people in the Dragon Clan. After so many years, although the Dragon Clan has been reproducing slowly, there are still not so many people, right? Is there something wrong with the Dragon Clan?"
Ao Guang sighed and said: "It's not that there are no descendants, but that over the past few hundred years, the dragon eggs that the dragon clan has reproduced have been used by Ao Jiang and Ao Hai to increase their cultivation."
"What?!" Duanmu Lingxiu and I said almost at the same time.
Ao Guang waved his hand and said: "Young Master, I cannot escape the blame for this, but this is not a problem of Ao Jiang and Ao Hai. It was the Dragon Clan themselves who decided to do this."
"What's going on?" I asked.
"What little girl Youruo said is right. Over the years, Murong Jiuding has come to attack Long Island many times. Each time, it was saved through the barriers I built with my lifetime cultivation. You can also see my current appearance.
Situation, time is running out. When I die, the entire Dragon Island will lose the last barrier. At that time, we don’t know when you, young master, will be able to come back. Therefore, the Dragon Clan needs a strong man who can step into the divine level. Only
In this way, the entire dragon clan can be preserved. The dragon eggs contain unparalleled life essence, which is even more beneficial to cultivation than the dragon essence. Therefore, the dragon clan decided not to let the dragon eggs hatch, but to incubate all the dragon eggs.
Give all the eggs to Ao Jiang and Ao Hai, so that they can absorb the life force inside so that they can break the last barrier to the divine level." Ao Guang said.
"But even if the situation is critical, we can't do this!" I said.
Ao Guang knelt down and said: "Young Master, all this is my fault. When they came to discuss this matter with me, I knew it was inappropriate, but I had to agree. There were intact eggs under the nest? What if it was a dragon clan?
No more, even if those young ones hatch out, they will inevitably be slaughtered by the human race!"
"No wonder these two people, Ao Jiang and Ao Hai, are so strange. They have always refused to come to Long Island. They know my temper and know that if I know what they do, I will fight them to death." Duanmu Lingxiu said.
This is true. With Duanmu's clever temper, even if the whole clan dies, he will never tolerate someone doing such a thing. Just like me, although I understand it now, I still can't accept it.
Even if the clan is exterminated, the elders cannot absorb the life force of the descendants.
