Chapter 102: Quotations from afar

"That being said... there are good people and bad people, and there are good dragons and evil dragons. Although right and wrong are just concepts imposed by humans and have nothing to do with their wishes. Maybe they have done something detrimental to people, but

If they are insignificant to their own race, they will be despised by the world."

Just as Han Zhang finished speaking, someone's voice suddenly came from behind, seeming to continue what he had said.

"Maybe they really didn't think about anything?"

Several people looked over and saw a man wearing a black hat walking over. The long brown and black hair under his hat was a little loose, and each hair was curled freely and fluttering in the wind. It looked light in texture, like the hair of a horse.

He has an average mane. He has a slender figure and is wearing a pure white suit with no obvious pattern. However, in the sunlight, they can clearly see that the dark lines on the hem of the clothes are as light as scales.

It has a shimmering, slightly golden color. I don’t know if it’s due to the gold threads caught in the fabric or the sunlight coloring it. In other words, is the pattern a dragon or a snake...? Although in today’s world, there is less control over products with dragon patterns.

The previous dynasty was stricter, but people still used to avoid taboos to avoid being made a fuss about and get into trouble. But judging from his extraordinary dress and temperament, he should not be an ordinary person.

"These clothes can't bear to get dirty." Miyin said to Ling Huan casually.

"Onmyoji?" Han Chang asked Xie Zhe uncertainly, "I remember that onmyojis from the east often wear this kind of hat. In the hinterland of the Central Plains, most of the people who dress like this are high-ranking officials, and he doesn't look like it."

Xie Zhe didn't answer, but he nodded slightly in agreement. Han Chang took a deep breath and asked the man:

"Really? It seems that you know a lot about what happened at that time. You must be an onmyoji, right?"

"Yes. I know that Wanlong City is recruiting onmyoji from everywhere, so I came to take a look."

There is nothing special about his voice, but it can give people a special feeling. It is pronounced clearly and loudly. People who are close to the same sentence will not find it noisy and harsh; people who are far away can hear it clearly.

.His tone was always gentle and calm, like water that could only be stirred by the wind.

"Recruiting Onmyoji?" Xie Zhe asked, "I've certainly never heard of it."

"I saw that you were dressed like an Onmyoji and brought a sword, so I thought you came here because of your reputation."

Xie Zhe looked at his face for a while, then looked up, glanced at his tall hat, and then moved his eyes back to his face. Then he said: "I am just traveling with my companions, there is nothing too much."

Thoughts. But if the people are in trouble, I will not sit idly by if I see it. I think my dress is quite simple, and you can tell who I am at a glance, so I must not be an ordinary person."

"The spiritual power lingering in your body is very regular. I can feel that you have practiced it."

"Well, I haven't asked for advice yet, are you..."

But the young man in white clothes and black hat waved his hand, as if he didn't intend to introduce himself, and he didn't know if he lost interest after learning that Xie Zhe was not someone who came to report to the government. After all, there was no expression on his face.

He gives people a feeling... of being isolated from the world, very detached, strange, and far away. Even if he is standing in front of you and talking, it makes you feel like he is not from the same world. Maybe this is also related to him.

This outfit implies status and identity.

Xie Zhe no longer asked about his personal affairs, nor did he continue to inquire about Wanlong City - after all, they just decided to rest for a while and then set off immediately for the Snow Inkstone Valley. But he seemed to be interested in the southern country that the Onmyoji just mentioned.

are interested in something.

"You just said that Long didn't think about anything, which means..."

"Humans have always been an arrogant species, although from some perspectives, the dragons are also the same." He smiled and looked a little stiff, "The arrogance of humans is not essentially different from the arrogance of monsters and beasts, but the dragons'

Arrogance overrides all of this. Once the dragons argue about matters of dignity, it will bring disaster to the lives of three thousand worlds. In ancient times, this kind of thing often happened. Later, they did not bother to go to war over such trivial matters. Among them

Part of it sneaked in

The depths of the ocean - the sea is wider than the continent, and deeper than the continent, so these thousands of lives have the opportunity to live freely on this land. Therefore, the God-killing War back then can be said to have no relationship with the Dragon Clan.

It doesn’t matter too much. Even the magic weapon

Tridacna is only regarded as a treasure by humans, and even the sharks don’t think it is anything special. Probably because humans are too fragile and insignificant, ordinary objects such as these that fell from the hands of the dragons also have incredible magical powers.

Bar."

The story he told was quite interesting, and they all looked at him and listened. It wasn't until someone in the queue urged them forward that they realized that the queue had grown quite far apart. A few people hurriedly caught up with the people in front.

As Miyin walked, he whispered:

"Having said all that, aren't you also a human being?"

What's the air? They more or less thought so in their hearts, but they didn't say it out of fear. Although Xue Miyin was outspoken, the Onmyoji still acted as if he didn't hear, showing neither contempt nor shame. He

There was also a very special arrogance in him, but it happened to not hurt anyone.

"I heard you arguing about the origin of Wanlong City's name from afar. In fact, you will know it when you get to the city."

"Oh?" Han Chang asked, "You are well-informed, please elaborate."

"There is a Dragon King Temple in the city. Although there are many places, this place really summons the dragon to appear. During the drought years, it rained heavily, saving countless lives that were on the verge of extinction. There are indeed many theories about the word Wan'er, and there is another saying:

It’s a rescue. But it’s been so long, it doesn’t matter what happened.”

Ling Huan was only curious about one thing: "Then, is it true that the dragon bones were dug out from under the city?"

The onmyoji looked at her and suddenly laughed again. This time his expression seemed more sincere than before. He said:

"you guess?"

Well, not very sincere.

Chatting with this person is actually asking for trouble, and they have already discovered it. They are grateful that this person can chat with him for a few words. Although Ling Huan no longer participates in the chat, she has been listening carefully. First of all,

She really likes interesting stories. Secondly, the person just mentioned a magic weapon, and she did have one, so she paid extra attention. She didn't know what Xie Zhe was.

The idea of ​​taking care of her was also very interesting to me, so I chatted with the Onmyoji about the great war thousands of years ago. From this conversation, we can know that the evil dragon that Kanna-kun and his companions killed back then was

In fact, it is just a projection of the real dragon in front of humans. Moreover, they also learned that the Crystal Palace, known as the Dragon Palace, is actually the territory of the sharks.

There was one thing that made Ling Quan particularly surprised.

"I thought the story of the shark was a myth my family used to coax me to sleep when I was a child. Although I have never seen it, and I have never heard it mentioned before, you suddenly said it naturally today, and I feel like it is a common thing.

Got it!"

"That's true. The sharks still exist today, but their behavior is hidden. The number...has not changed much. At least in less than a thousand years, in comparison, humans are the race whose numbers have expanded rapidly." The Onmyoji said,

"Actually, the main purpose of my traveling around at the beginning was just to find a friend - a shark friend."

"...It's really weird. If you want to find the shark, shouldn't you go to the sea? Why are you walking around on the shore?"

Miyin didn't know whether she was mocking or asking a question from the bottom of her heart. Her tone was always so rigid and easy for people to misunderstand. But this time, even Ling Huan also agreed:

"Yes. Didn't you just say that the Dragon Ball has been destroyed? Then how can the shark conjure up legs and walk on the ground?"

"The sharks weave silk silk with shuttles made from the bones of their close relatives. Use such a shuttle to cut open the legs - just like the girl in the legend of the sharks did, and they will turn into legs.

Action on shore. But in this way, the sharks will never be able to turn back into the long tail of a fish and return to the sea. Their life span will be the same as that of ordinary people, just like a fleeting moment."

They were all silent for a while. The queue was not too long, and it was almost there. Hanshang could already see the guards in front doing some simple "rituals" for people entering the city, like slapping themselves with mugwort and spreading rice on them.

——It should be glutinous rice, and what did people drink in the end. Although everything was simple, the process was really complicated. It should be some time before they waited. So he then asked the onmyoji:

"Isn't it possible that what you are looking for is a mermaid who turned into a human?"

"That's right. Her name cannot be pronounced by a simple human throat. In the language of the sharks, the name means 'sea foam as bright as moonlight', so she is called Jiao Mo."

That mysterious mist shrouded his body again, lingering. Ling Huan swallowed more questions and persuaded himself not to ask meaningless topics. Maybe if he continued to ask, he would be asked.

I feel bored. After all, a person whose name has not been revealed is even less likely to have the obligation to patiently tell myself.

Han Zhang pricked up his ears and heard a man at the door coughing up water and complaining, "It's so salty." It turned out to be salt water, and salt did have the effect of warding off evil spirits and driving away disasters. Unexpectedly, several soldiers suddenly became anxious.

, held him down, and poured several more bowls of water. The people behind him all looked over, only to hear someone yelling:

"Be sure not to vomit after drinking it. Those who vomit will be living corpses!"

Han Chang laughed rudely: "This guy is really miserable."

As for the story of the unknown Onmyoji, almost all of them had limited interest. However, when he told his story, it seemed that he did not tell it to anyone deliberately. He just answered whoever asked if he wanted to, and kept silent if he didn't want to.

An old guard in front saw this onmyoji in white and was suddenly startled. He called a few people and ran over to chat with him. The guards seemed to call him "Lord Guihai" and did not mention his name out of respect.

.This is a very unpopular surname.

He didn't seem to be very famous - they had never heard of him anyway. But looking at the posture, it seemed that this Guihai clan was personally invited by the city lord of Wanlong City. The guards took him out of the team and didn't leave much.

The process of exorcising evil spirits was put directly into him.

As soon as you came and I came down, Xie Zhe and his group who stayed in the same place looked at each other.

"Does Mr. Xie believe those legends?" Miyin asked casually.

"I would rather believe it. In fact, when he talked about those things, I also felt that it was a bit unreal as if it were otherworldly."

Han Chang joked: "I thought you two could just talk together - I didn't take it seriously."

"Don't you see?" Xie Zhe suddenly said this, making Han Zhang stunned. The two girls also looked at them.

"What do you see?"

"That Guihai clan is not..."
