In an extremely remote part of the imperial court, in a stone forest used for viewing, two gigantic stones slowly separated, revealing a quiet passage.
There is a square bluestone plate in the passage, piled up to form a narrow ladder.
On the stone walls on both sides of the passage, at intervals of about half a foot, there hung a night-light pearl that emitted faint fluorescence and was the size of a child's fist, barely illuminating the entire passage.
The jade of hanging thorns leads directly to the silence.
Li Yuan held up a candle, looked at the calm Ye Tai beside him, and said: "The dog is at the very bottom of this road."
Woo~
Over the stone forest, Wangcai put his head over and looked at the passage curiously.
It also wants to go in and have a look.
Prosperous wealth: "Little golden man, narrow, open."
Mrs. Ye raised her head and glanced at him and said, "You just stay outside. It's easy to dig it out, but it's hard to fill it in. After a while, this will be our home. If it's destroyed, will you repair it?"
呲~
Wangcai: "Your family, not mine, the God of War, my family is big, your family is small... I can raise dogs, but I can't raise dragons."
It seems that Wangcai is extremely unbalanced.
Too.
The gate of the God of War alone is nearly a hundred feet high, and the entire hall is almost like a small city.
Although Wangcai cannot enter, outside the main hall, there is still a "dragon cave" made of more than a thousand feet of strange rocks.
As a result, in the past few months since Mrs. Ye came out, he was made to lie on the roof every day, and he couldn't do anything at will, otherwise he would roll over and collapse any building.
This makes Wangcai extremely contemptuous. If you don't have the dragon's lair, you still want to raise a dragon. Raising a dog is almost the same.
It's so petty!
Mrs. Ye gave him a roll of her eyes and said: "Tell me which piece of land you like, and I'll have someone build a dragon palace for you. Don't complain here. Anyway, we won't be here long, and we'll take care of it outside. Tang Guo
Sir, lead the way."
Li Yuan nodded, sighed, and walked towards the corridor.
Mrs. Ye entered second, followed closely by Dou and others.
Da da da~
After walking along the narrow path for about a few dozen feet, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up.
At the very bottom of the passage, there is a huge secret room made of square granite and artificially built.
Around the secret room, the inlays of luminous pearls became denser, making the secret room, which was more than ten feet square, appear extremely claustrophobic.
In the deepest part of the secret room, two extremely thick black iron gates were tightly sealed and unmoving.
Rumble~
From time to time, there was a rumble in the claustrophobic chamber.
Ye Tai could feel that inside the Black Iron Gate, there was a qi that was about to die out, but strangely, the qi and blood that was stronger than himself and extremely powerful were constantly flowing.
So much so that one can vaguely hear the rumbling sound of blood rushing through the black iron gate.
However, although this energy and blood is extremely strong, every time it rushes back and forth, it seems to be consuming the vitality inside that is like a candle in the wind.
Weird.
But it seems to be reasonable.
Li Yuan looked sad and said nothing. He stepped forward and pressed a certain mechanism.
The black iron gate slowly opened.
The wild aura that makes one's heart shrink rushes towards his face.
The sound of Qi and blood rushing like a rushing river became clearer.
Inside the gate.
It is a cage made entirely of black iron and is seven to eight feet square.
The reason why it is called a cage is because when the door is opened, the first thing that comes into view is not the half-human, half-dragon monster sitting cross-legged in a circle, with his head bowed blankly.
Instead, dozens of dark iron chains as thick as arms were densely spread vertically and horizontally, tightly sealing the monster at its core.
Li Yuanba, or Dragon Demon Li Yuanba, his eyes were dull, his mouth was drooling, and he was hanging his head at the core of the chain.
beyond recognition.
The fangs on half of the face are protruding and exposed beyond the lips.
Fine dragon scales cover most of the body.
The muscles in his right arm were stretched to an extremely exaggerated level, covering more than half of his body length, resting on the ground.
The palm of his hand turned into an animal claw that resembled the claws of a wealth-rich dragon.
Arc-shaped bone spurs appear on the back from high to low.
"Ba'er..."
Mrs. Dou burst into tears, but she didn't care at all. She rushed forward and sat down in front of Dragon Demon Li Yuanba. She took out a handkerchief and wiped away the sticky saliva that kept dripping from him.
Roar~
Like a wild beast that had been awakened, Li Yuanba's dull and red eyes gradually became violent and ferocious.
He raised his head, as if he was about to go berserk at any moment and swallow Mrs. Dou in one gulp!
But when he saw his mother's tearful face clearly, he suddenly hugged his head with his left arm and let out a painful roar that sounded like a dragon's roar.
"Ahhhhhh~~~"
Wow!
The sound of pain, mixed with the clang of dark iron chains, resounded through the ground for a while.
Mrs. Ye frowned and did not step forward immediately to interrupt this already deformed scene of deep love between mother and son.
He looked at the ground and saw an irregular circle drawn with a sharp weapon on the ground around the body of Dragon Demon Li Yuanba.
In front of Li Yuanba, there is also a crooked... rattle?
Mrs. Ye asked Li Yuan: "What's going on?"
Li Yuan looked away from his son and beloved wife with great sadness, looked at the traces on the ground, and replied: "Report to the Demon Emperor, even deep underground, even if it is blocked by black iron, it is difficult to lock me...
...Poor kid.
This square foot radius was drawn by the Jing Dou clan with his sword. It is like a natural chasm that cannot be crossed until death.
The rattle is my son, Yuan Ba, who I loved most when I was a child. Jia Jing begged my son, seeing the rattle is like seeing my mother, and I will stick to this place!"
Mrs. Ye nodded.
I see.
Is the ground a prison?
That's right.
Li Yuanba, who has transformed into a dragon here, and whose offensive power is catching up with the Broken King Kong, not to mention black iron, all the heavy weapons in the world, except for the materials of the gods' relics and temples, can no longer truly seal him off.
The only one who can block him is himself.
Including myself, I can kill him, but it is difficult to suppress and seal him.
Although Li Yuanba turned into a dragon and almost lost his mind, could he still recognize his mother?
Ahhhh~~~
The howl shook the dark iron cage.
Whenever the dragon demon Li Yuanba is about to lose control, his violent eyes fall on the heartbroken Dou, which always allows him to regain some sense and engage in an almost crazy struggle with the violent genes in his body.
"mother!!!"
"Ba'er feels so uncomfortable!!!"
"roar!!!"
"Ba'er wants to kill!!"
"Want to die!!!"
Ah~~~~
"Mom, Ba'er loves you so much!!!"
"Let me die!!!"
Mr. Dou had cried so hard that his heart was broken and his body was trembling.
In fact, he and Li Yuan had already planned to end Li Yuanba's pain.
But.
Li Yuanba, who has transformed into a dragon demon, is not only able to resist the toxicity of all poisons in the world, but his body, including his naked eyes, is harder than a sword.
Even if Li Yuanba is willing to kill him without hesitation, it will be difficult for him to be harmed even if he is a top master or below.
Someone who could kill Li Yuanba and still remain intact despite his violent resistance.
There is only one person and one dragon in the world.
But earlier, because Li Yuanba's vitality was getting weaker and weaker, he would die suddenly here within a few dozen days.
Li Yuan and the Dou family, looking out for the overall interests of the Li family, could only let him suffer and wait for death here.
But things are different here.
Madam Dou cried and crawled to Mrs. Ye's feet, pleading: "Demon Emperor, Demon Emperor, please grant Yuanba death!"
roar!
Li Yuanba followed Dou's figure and looked over, his eyes falling on Mrs. Ye.
"Hey, it's you, kill me! Roar!"
Sonorous!
Several dark iron chains broke instantly, and the entire dark iron cage was rumbling and shaking.
But when he saw the rattle and circle on the ground, his left hand was holding his head in pain and struggling, and the energy and blood in his body was almost deafening.
Dou fell to the bottom, punched the ground with his head, and said with a broken heart: "Demon Emperor, please give Yuanba my son to die in battle! I, Li Clan, am willing to fight to the death for the Demon Emperor in all directions, and give thousands of miles of rivers and mountains before the Holy Spirit!"
Dou is one of the greatest contributors to the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Numerous historical materials show that she was not a simple and delicate woman.
On the contrary, he has great strategic vision and skill, but is willing to stay behind the scenes and be the green leaf beside his husband.
Even before Li Yuan died, he could not forget the woman who helped him the most.
Therefore, there is no doubt that Queen Dou has a higher say in the Li family than Jiancheng, Li Shimin and others.
She was able to promise that the Li Clan's army was willing to fight to the death for Da Luo, and then travel thousands of miles to the mountains and rivers for Ye Taicheng, with Li Yuan in front, and she only had compassion in her eyes and no objection, which undoubtedly showed her sincerity.
After all, although the Li Clan's army was nominally an affiliated army of the Yunluo Dynasty, without several years or even more than ten years of assimilation, the Demon Sect would be really hard to control.
Not to mention asking them to fight to the death.
Agreeing to the Dou family is undoubtedly the best choice and the fastest way to fully realize the unification of China and Earth.
However, when Mrs. Ye looked at Li Yuanba, who was sometimes crazy and sometimes crying, she felt like she had a headache.
(ps, Queen Dou died relatively late in the novel.)
