Chapter six hundred and ninety third spirit officer
As the heavy rain fell, Li Xiuyuan turned back to Longyin Lake.
He had doubts in his mind and needed to find out the reason. Master Guo Zhen had given him a vague hint before, which gave him some idea, but he was not sure yet.
now.
Because of the fire, there were only people beside Longyin Lake who were constantly fetching water to put out the fire. The lively scene of street parades and temple fairs before was gone. And with the heavy rain, there were even fewer people nearby, and the entire lakeside was actually deserted.
Li Xiuyuan stood alone by Longyin Lake. The heavy rain fell, not even a foot away from him. He looked calmly at the turbulent lake and waited quietly.
"Son~!"
About a moment later, a child of about twelve years old came over from nowhere. He bowed his hand and gave a very respectful attitude.
Li Xiuyuan turned around when he heard the sound and said: "King of the Yangtze River, do you know that there is a dragon being suppressed by someone in this lake?"
"I didn't know it before, but after I came here, I knew that there was indeed the aura of a real dragon, so there wasn't even a single fish in the lake. They were all frightened away, so the water was clear and there was no ripples."
The King of Yangtze River took one look and immediately noticed something.
He is a great demon in the water, how could he not recognize the breath of a real dragon?
"I want to go down to see him and ask him a few questions. You cast a spell for me and open a water channel to allow me to go down." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Sir, this matter is quite dangerous. Since this dragon has been suppressed, he will definitely do many evil things. He is an evil dragon. If you go into the water and see him, what will you do if he starts doing evil? Even if I am guarding you, I am here.
There is no match for a real dragon in the water. A real dragon is born to control water.
The divine creature cannot be compared with the water demon." The King of Yangtze River said in shock.
"If he commits evil, there is no need to continue to suppress him, just kill him directly. It happened that my armor was broken last time and needs dragon scales to repair it." Li Xiuyuan said.
The King of Yangtze River couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this.
A real dragon will be killed at will, and even have to take dragon scales to repair its armor. Only this Li Shengren in the world has such courage and courage. When ordinary people see the real dragon, they all kneel down and kowtow, and they continue to offer incense and change.
Even the emperor had to offer sacrifices and sing praises.
"Since the young master has made his decision, I will cast a spell to clear the way for the young master." The King of Yangtze River saluted.
Immediately without any hesitation, he braved the heavy rain and jumped into Longyin Lake.
Immediately, a huge alligator figure rolled in the lake water, and a huge whirlpool immediately appeared in the surrounding lake water.
A passage appeared in the whirlpool, which led directly to the bottom of the lake, leaving no water behind. Even an ordinary person could follow the center of the whirlpool and walk to the bottom of the lake.
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and cast a blinding technique to cover the passage. Then auspicious clouds rose under his feet, flew up and slowly fell towards the bottom of the lake.
A strong smell of moisture and fishy smell hit my face.
The rocks at the bottom of the lake were flying, one on the left and one on the right, as if a huge mountain had exploded. The boulders were flying, and there were ferocious claw marks on them. I don’t know what kind of beast left them behind.
"I saw that real dragon before. It's over there at the Lake Tower. Go there and have a look." Li Xiuyuan took out an orb from the Ghost King's bag.
The sparkling light illuminated the surrounding area, and even the dark lake water became crystal clear.
This was a pearl brought from Tianmu Mountain. Although he didn't know what it was used for, it was so bright that it was even more powerful than a night-bright pearl, so he kept it around for lighting purposes.
"Wow~!"
The lake water was rolling, and a passage stretched forward.
The passage in front is deep and dark, and the cold and clammy atmosphere is very uncomfortable, as if it leads to the depths of hell.
Li Xiuyuan was fearless, stepped on the auspicious clouds with his feet, and flew forward with the orb in his hand.
"Sir, the aura of the real dragon is getting stronger and stronger. I'm afraid it's just ahead. Please be careful." A crocodile appeared in the lake nearby and swam next to him, as if he was wary of what might appear around him.
danger.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on." 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 appearing at the bottom of the dark lake seemed to disturb something.
A huge black shadow swayed at the bottom of the lake. There were faint sounds of iron chains hitting and boulders rolling. In an instant, the entire bottom of the lake became turbid and dirty, and everything in front of him could no longer be seen clearly.
Already.
"Come closer, come closer, come closer," a dull voice like wind and thunder rumbled, whispering like a tiger or a lion.
A pair of yellow eyes stared at the approaching light in the turbid lake water.
Wait until the light approaches a certain range.
Sudden.
The lake water rolled, causing huge waves. A huge black shadow rushed out of the turbid lake water, instantly breaking through the barrier of the Yangtze River King's spell.
Immediately, Li Xiuyuan saw a huge dragon head in the lake in front of him. It opened its big mouth and let out a shocking dragon roar. It bit it like a beast roaring, as if it wanted to swallow him directly into its belly. The pair of yellow dragon heads
The dragon's eyes are full of violence and violence, there is no real dragon anymore
It's the right attitude.
"Buzz~!"
However, at this moment, a red light suddenly appeared in Li Xiuyuan's hand. The red light was dazzling, like a sword, and finally condensed into the shape of a long cone. The red cone tip was aimed at the charging dragon.
As long as he moves forward half a foot further, the long red cone can be lifted lightly to the lower jaw of the head.
It was easy to pierce the dragon's head.
"Ouch~!"
There was an unbelievable look of astonishment in the dragon's roar. His eyes opened wide and the big mouth he was about to bite stopped abruptly in mid-air. For a moment, the scene seemed to freeze.
"Bite, keep going, don't worry about my feelings." Li Xiuyuan said.
"No wonder Li Taibai once said that a dragon cannot fall to the ground, otherwise it will be contaminated with vulgarity and it will not be a dragon. It is just a monster in the shape of a dragon. Now it seems that it is true. It wants to eat people when it comes up. It is indeed like a monster.
There's no difference. Since it's like this, I might as well kill you today.
, maybe your body is more useful to me."
The real dragon in front of him felt a kind of inner fear when he saw the red light.
He could completely believe that as long as he moved another half a foot forward, his head would be pierced and he would immediately turn into a dead dragon.
If this spell is true, it should be a dragon-slaying spell.
There are people in the world who have learned such magic.
"Oh, it's just a joke. I'm just bored at the bottom of the lake. It's rare for someone to come over and talk to me. I was a little uncontrollable in my excitement and frightened this young master. It's really my fault. I apologize to you."
It's gone." The huge dragon head was retracted, he smiled and said
The anger was a bit embarrassing and fearful.
"Master, have you eaten tonight? Do you want to drink? I still have some jars of good wine here."
After saying that, he stretched out his dragon claws and fetched several wine jars from somewhere, and dropped them on the mud in front of him.
"The house is humble and simple. Don't take this young master off guard."
"As a true dragon, you are full of humanity and have learned the communication skills of a human. However, it can be seen that you have been suppressed here for a long time and your divinity has faded a lot." Li Xiuyuan said.
"I'm going to ask you a few questions. If it's easy to answer, I won't treat you badly. If it's not easy to answer, I'll think my trip was in vain and you'll continue to be trapped here, and I won't bother you again."
The implication is that you should be serious and put your little thoughts away, otherwise you will be prepared to continue to be trapped here.
"Sir, please tell me, please tell me, I promise to tell you everything I know. There is nothing in this capital that I don't know," the real dragon said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "What is your origin? All real dragons in the world have their origins. It is impossible for there to be another real dragon for no reason. With your ability, you are at least the Dragon King of a certain river or the water god of a certain big lake. You can't be fooled."
This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a bad dragon."
When asked about his past, this real dragon raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the lake with a look of reminiscence: "Once upon a time, this dragon was also a carefree dragon that traveled in the sky. The sun was shining brightly that day.
The clouds are thick, it is a good day for the clouds to control the fog. It seems that this dragon can smell
On that day, I felt the fragrance of flowers wafting from the mountains and rivers, and felt the cool breeze above the mountains."
"Okay, let's move on to the second question. Do you know the cause of the fire in the capital today?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"This dragon hasn't finished the first question yet." The real dragon said in surprise.
"No need to say it. Let's talk about it next time when we have time." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Oh, that's ok. Next time, I'll have a good time to recall it and tell you in detail." The real dragon said, "Today's fire in the capital was caused by this dragon."
"That's it, then go to hell." Li Xiuyuan pulled out the Tai'a sword from his waist and prepared to cut off the dragon's head.
"Wait, wait, although this matter was caused by this dragon, it has nothing to do with this dragon." This real dragon was frightened when he saw the golden aura on the sword.
They all shrank back into the mud pit like loaches.
Li Xiuyuan said: "The reason?"
"It's a long story, and it starts when Benlong became the Dragon Protector of the Song Dynasty. It was a dark and windy night in the clear autumn air. Benlong came back from his relatives' house in Beihai happily, because
After drinking some wine, I became a little dizzy. I accidentally veered off the road and flew away accidentally.
Arriving above the capital city." Zhenlong narrowed his eyes, as if recalling the high-spirited days of his youth.
"Dragon that protects the country? To make a long story short." Li Xiuyuan's expression was condensed, with a strange look on his face.
He knew that throughout the dynasties, if a court wanted to have long-term peace and stability, it must have a real dragon descend to earth to suppress the national destiny and ensure that the national destiny is prosperous and continuous. Therefore, emperors in the past dynasties would have auspicious things such as the real dragon appearing in their dreams and the real dragon appearing.
That was not a lie, nor was it a lie made up by the emperor to prove that he was justified in seizing the kingdom, but it was indeed a real dragon descending from the earth.
The dragon that protects the country of the Han Dynasty is the red-bearded dragon.
And the dragon that protects the country of the Song Dynasty is actually the dragon that is pressed at the bottom of the lake?
The dragons who protect the country have been suppressed. No wonder the Song Dynasty is in such chaos. There are bandits inside and powerful enemies outside. The people are in dire straits. There are also ghosts and gods causing chaos. The national destiny is in an extremely sluggish state.
It turns out that the entire day was unlucky.
"That dragon will make a long story short. This dragon is the dragon that protects the country of the Song Dynasty and suppresses the national destiny. Since the Song Dynasty was born in response to the virtue of fire, this dragon is naturally a red dragon descending to the earth. But you also saw that this dragon was suppressed.
Here, there is an excess of fire virtues in the capital, which accumulates and causes disasters. Fires will spring out in response to the situation and disappear.
This excess fire virtue is consumed, so the capital is often hit by fires, not just once."
"This time, I didn't expect that the fire would be so intense. There might be some spirits at work secretly. If this dragon had not been trapped, such a fire would not have occurred. The energy of fire virtue is what nourishes this dragon's cultivation.
Ah, if you had let this dragon out earlier, this big fire dragon would have burned down in an instant.
Can calm down." This true dragon said.
"Huode, fire?" Li Xiuyuan frowned.
If analyzed in this way, this really means the same thing as what the National Master said. This is God's will, not a man-made disaster.
It is the imbalance of the five elements and the excess of fire virtue, brewing disaster. No wonder Guo Zhen's prayer for rain failed.
"You are the dragon that protects the country. A real dragon descends to earth. Who dares to suppress you?" Li Xiuyuan said.
The real dragon said: "I don't know. This dragon just took a nap and was imprisoned at the bottom of the lake. He was tied up with a dragon rope and pressed against a Buddhist temple, which enshrined a Tathagata Buddha. This is
With the power of all the people's incense and telepathy, I suppressed this dragon here and couldn't move. Other than that, I just soaked here.
The cold water of the lake also hinders this dragon from absorbing the energy of fire virtue. If it does not advance, it will retreat, otherwise how could a mere temple be able to suppress this dragon."
"In a few years, it won't be impossible to be trapped and die here."
"You are really a confused dragon." Li Xiuyuan's face darkened: "Such a vigilant spirit deserves to be suppressed here."
"As a dragon that protects the country, this dragon is a decent man. How could he have thought that a lunatic would take action against this dragon." The real dragon argued, his voice full of dissatisfaction.
"A decent person? You thought about eating me before. This is not what a decent person should do."
"If you have resentment in your heart, you can't help but vent it out." Zhenlong said confidently.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Have you ever eaten anyone?"
"How can anyone bring it to Ben Long's mouth?"
The real dragon said, he tried to shake the dragon's body, but he could only move around the lake center tower, and could not make any big movements. This shows that eating people is not a luxury.
"The last question is, there are ghosts and gods that appear in the fire. Those ghosts and gods all wear red robes and official hats and can direct the fire. What is the reason for this?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Zhenlong said: "I remember that the official uniforms of the officials of the Song Dynasty were red, right? Are the official robes and hats of the 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 who were bred to correspond to those officials. It's just that those officials wore scarlet official uniforms and corresponded to the fire virtue. Because they are usually greedy for money, lustful, and have too many evil thoughts, the spiritual officials who were bred also did evil things.
When the fire spread, instead of putting out the fire, the fire expanded.
If those officials have good intentions and are upright, the resulting spiritual officials will also be upright and noble. Not only will they not condone the fire, they will try their best to put out the fire so that the disaster will not expand."
"That's right." Li Xiuyuan lowered his head and pondered.
