The red sun hangs high in the sky, floating clouds float in the blue sky, and the golden pillars and jade palace stand as majestic as a heavenly palace.
An old man dressed as a Taoist with soap robes and white hair stood in the billowing sea of clouds in front of the temple. A long sapphire hairpin was casually inserted into his bun, and his eyes were deep and tranquil.
"Zhou Gu."
The old man called softly, and the middle-aged man with a square and honest appearance came forward and respectfully handed over a fish food box.
The appearance made of sandalwood painted with red paint is very exquisite.
Li Chengqian gently grabbed a handful of fish bait and threw it randomly into the churning sea of white clouds in front of him. After waiting calmly for a moment, the clouds and mist began to change violently.
The bright red shadows began to gather densely, and white, yellow, orange, gold, black and blue gradually became entangled together, making the scene colorful in an instant.
Who would have thought that under the sea of clouds in front of the palace that day,
There is a deep, clear pool hidden inside,
There are fine koi carp inside.
Now, as soon as the bait is thrown, the koi come out of the water one after another to grab food, causing the clouds and mist above to thin. At a rough look, they number at least a thousand.
"As the ancients said, if you raise thousands of carp, you will eventually become a dragon. Zhou Gu, do you think I can raise a dragon?"
The old man threw another handful of bait into the cloud pool and asked seemingly casually.
"According to my subordinates, the master of the house has raised a young dragon. Your Highness, the True King, is not a thing in the pond."
Zhou Gu, who was wearing a black suit and a burgundy tie, looked strong and tall, responded in a low voice.
"You, you..."
After hearing this answer, Li Chengqian couldn't help but point his finger at him and scolded him with a smile. "Others often say that you are a loyal and righteous person, and you look honest and generous. Why do you sound like a sycophant when you talk?"
"Speaking from the bottom of my heart."
The man straightened his back, looked at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth, without further explanation.
"I heard that Long Yuan was injured recently."
The old man put his hands behind his hands and watched the magnificent scene of thousands of carps snatching food under the cloud pond.
I asked without any emotion.
Although Sun Tzu is far away across the ocean, this does not mean that he is ignorant of and indifferent to what happened recently in Li Longyuan.
"Well, the Red King of the Renovamen organization, I met him once when I was on a mission in the tomb of the Pharaoh in ancient Egypt seven years ago. Those bloody eyes were like a hernia lamp in the dark night. When I looked at him, I felt as if he was floating in the sky.
A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.”
Even if he had the spirit of speech and Gonggong and could fight against the dragon servant Samson at the bottom of the Yangtze River, Zhou Gu had to admit that the monster was so terrifying that it made people palpitate.
"The water here is getting deeper and deeper."
The koi carp jumping out of the water to grab food inadvertently formed a huge whirlpool, and countless fish tails twisted and splashed with crystal water droplets, falling again and again, which was full of interest.
"Ouch~"
An ancient and dull roar rang out from the bottom of the water. Even Zhou Gu, who was holding a fish box in his hand, couldn't help but stumble. The majestic and majestic aura made the koi fish that were swimming around and swallowing bait lose their spirituality in their eyes and became glazed over.
In place.
Huge ripples suddenly appeared on the deep water surface. In the central vortex of the square cloud pool, a mountain-like water monster emerged. The black shadows left by the sunlight easily obscured the figures of Li Chengqian and Li Chengqian.
The monster's head is shaped like a snapping turtle, but its forehead is protruding.
The neck is strong and thick,
The tortoise shell on its back is engraved with complex and fine lines, and there are a few strands of green water plants entwined at the junction of the soles of the forelimbs and the carapace.
"Bah! Bah! Bah!"
The water monster raised its ferocious head and chewed loudly the dozens of koi carps in its mouth. Horrible scarlet blood seeped out from between the sharp teeth arranged like knives and spears. The dark green eyelids turned up, revealing a pair of huge crystal yellow eyes.
, obviously shocking and abnormal.
"Baxia."
Zhou Gu looked at the giant water monster and couldn't help but sigh. Of course he knew that there was such a dragon species in the orthodox society.
Baxia, one of the nine sons of the dragon in the legend, also known as Bixi, Ao, Turtle Fu (fu), Tianxia, Dragon Turtle, good at carrying heavy objects.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
It was such a gigantic beast that made people feel fierce just by floating on the water. Li Chengqian still stood quietly on the spot and greeted the tyrant who was like a mountain in front of him.
"Hooo~~~"
As if hearing the old man's whisper, Baxia lowered his head after swallowing dozens of koi in one gulp, and sank back into the water to be level with the old man. Only his huge crystal-yellow pupils and the bulges on his back like a stone forest were exposed.
The thorn touched the surface of the water and let out a gentle and melodious roar.
Zhengtong has raised this crocodile for more than a thousand years, and it is also very spiritual. Although it cannot speak, its wisdom is no less than that of an octogenarian who is worldly and sophisticated.
Zhou Gu also accompanied him, with a smile on his honest and simple face. When he was three years old, he came here to watch the ceremony with the head of the Zhou family, and accidentally fell into the cloud pond, so he had a chance encounter with this tyrant.
He also knew that the high-quality koi carp raised in Fang Yun Pond were all Baxia's rations.
It is better to say that ten thousand carps breed a dragon than ten thousand carps feed a dragon.
"Excuse me, have you seen my brother?"
While Zhou Gu was quietly standing by, watching the interaction between Li Chengqian and Ba Xia, the sudden appearance of the indifferent boy's voice frightened him, and he turned his head away mechanically.
What he saw was the face of a handsome young man with very light eyebrows. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old. There was no extra emotion in his smooth black eyes. He was only wearing a white undershirt and his figure was very thin, revealing his rugged and delicate collarbone.
Ba Xia let out a low roar and froze in place. It did not sense the boy's approach, but at this moment it felt the majesty and majesty.
After a lapse of thousands of years, the ancient king stepped down from the throne, left the dusty bronze palace of history, and stepped back into the human world.
But he is still the king.
Zhou Gu, who was able to face the next generation and was infinitely close to S-level according to the blood level classification of Kassel College, was standing there, as cold and hard as the terracotta warriors and horses built for the burial of the First Emperor, unable to move.
He doesn't even have the qualifications to talk to boys!
Li Chengqian, who originally had his back to the boy and a handful of fish food in his hand, slowly turned around. There was no surprise on his face. Instead, he asked a topic that Zhou Gu wanted to ask but couldn't, with a warm smile.
"Who are you?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, the boy frowned slightly, as if he was angry that his question was not taken seriously, and he seemed to be thinking carefully.
