Chapter 124 The roar of the evil dragon echoing over Xuanyuan Palace
How long has it been?
I have never had such a deep sleep.
All the fatigue has disappeared, my energy has never been so good, I feel like I can sit in front of the computer and play games until I forget to eat lunch.
When the morning sun fell, her eyes slowly opened amidst the bustling scene, and the fragrance of flowers was intoxicating. She, who had always been in the habit of staying in bed, did not want to wake up so soon.
The firewood was still there, and the coolness of the early morning at Yaofeng was resisted by the heat of the flames around the boulders.
She finally got up and found the figure leaning on the stone under the big stone.
He kept firewood all night, apparently.
In fact, he doesn't need to do it himself, Long Xiruo thought to himself... This guy always likes to do some thankless things, and he seems to enjoy it.
His appearance.
She turned over and lay down among the flowers on the stone. She held up her chin with both hands and stuck her head out, carefully looking at the sleeping face below.
Suddenly, she reached out her hand, but couldn't get it. After thinking about it, she had no choice but to give up and simply stay with him quietly until the firewood gradually burned out.
These are the branches and leaves of an ancient pine tree only found in Xuanyuan Palace. When burned, they have a special fragrance that can no longer be found in the outside world.
She felt that she suddenly fell in love with this taste.
She suddenly started thinking wildly again.
Yesterday I decided that I was crazy... to actually do such a thing was simply unbelievable - she was not Luo Pianqing's butterfly demon who only had estrus.
When the throbbing at that moment finally dissipated like ripples at the end of the water after a good night's sleep, what followed was not only anxiety, but also confusion.
She didn't even know what the final outcome would be between her and him... Moreover, in a short time, this guy would leave - leaving the world with the true dragons of China.
——Everyone has said that it’s just a matter of walking for a few months, and playing games for a few months will be enough, okay, okay!
At this time, a little man who was sitting upright appeared on the left shoulder of Shenzhou True Dragon and said comfortingly, so she nodded with deep understanding.
——How many months? How many months have you been with that black-hearted bad woman? How about sleeping together and flying together? How about you being able to do things without shame or impatience every day?
On the right shoulder, there was also a little man with small fangs and small horns on his head. He said sarcastically as soon as he appeared.
Then her relaxed brows suddenly knitted together.
The little man on the left shoulder and the little man on the right shoulder started arguing about this topic at some point. Unknowingly, the real dragon in China was completely sleepy, and the good mood of a good sleep was also completely lost.
"Stop making noise!! Are you annoying--!!"
The dragon roars!!
The little figures on the left and right shoulders disappeared in an instant, and the Shenzhou True Dragon, whose anger had not receded, met Boss Luo with a slightly confused look.
"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to wake you up!" she said subconsciously.
Boss Luo stretched out and said with a casual smile: "It doesn't matter, it's almost time to wake up... Miss Long is in the same spirit today."
She could only show a sly smile, "...Are you hungry? I'll go catch two more fish?"
This is really the only skill she can master.
Suddenly a melodious bell sounded... Long Xiruo's expression was startled, and he immediately stood up and looked thoughtfully at the direction where the bell was coming from.
The bell kept ringing for nine times before it stopped. Long Xiruo suddenly said: "It turns out that today is the [Grand Festival] day of Xuanyuan Palace..."
"Is it a very important holiday?" Boss Luo asked curiously.
Long Xiruo nodded, "The [Grand Sacrifice] is the day when Xuanyuan Palace opens the Fountain of Youth, once a year. On the day of the [Grand Sacrifice], the three most outstanding tribesmen in Xuanyuan Palace will be given a cup of the Fountain of Youth."
"Fountain of Youth?" Boss Luo became even more curious.
Long Xiruo jumped down from the boulder, "Ordinary warriors, their vitality and blood will gradually weaken as they grow older, and they will eventually die of old age. If the martial arts cannot reach the gods, they can only live for a hundred or two hundred years at most. But for the clansmen of Xuanyuan Palace,
It is said that as long as one is given the water of the Fountain of Youth, one can live for more than three to four hundred years, and those with good qualifications can even use the power of the Fountain of Youth and their own breakthroughs in martial arts to live for more than a thousand years."
Saying that, Long Xiruo shook his head again: "This fountain of youth is connected to the earth's veins of China. Since the First Emperor sealed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the output of the fountain has been much less. Once a year, it gradually became once every three years.
Once every five years... At present, Xuanyuan Palace has not held a [Grand Festival] for almost five hundred years. The last time, it took nearly fifty years to barely condense half a cup of the Fountain of Youth. Later, the spiritual energy declined further.
, the [Grand Festival] has never been held.”
"Do you want to take a look?" Boss Luo suddenly asked, "Since it is a grand event in Xuanyuan Palace, you should be able to see many people that Miss Long knew before."
She hesitated for a while.
Even if you have the power of a true dragon and are invincible in China... you can't turn back time and return to Xuanyuan Palace two thousand years ago.
How could she refuse this kind of real revisit to her hometown, seeing people and things that had long since disappeared in the long river of history?
——I will become more and more unable to extricate myself...you know.
She looked at him and nodded gently, "I want to go."
…
…
In Xuanyuan Palace two thousand years ago, the Gongsun clan had far more people than in Xuanyuan Palace two thousand years later... But relatively, there were fewer demon clans in the Kun tribe.
At this time, the Xuanyuan Palace Kun tribe had not developed for a long time, and the demon tribes that had surrendered on the land of China only accounted for a very small part.
It is a [big festival], not a celebration.
In the square of the main hall of Xuanyuan Palace, people of all ethnic groups gathered, but they did not dare to make any noise.
Burning incense and offering sacrifices to drums, the square was solemn and quiet at the moment.
In front of the steps of the square, three outstanding members of the Gongsun clan, two men and one woman, were raising their heads and chests, waiting for the official start of the [Grand Festival].
Needless to say, these three people are the protagonists of this [Great Sacrifice], the Gongsun tribesmen who can be given the fountain of youth... Above the steps of the main hall of Xuanyuan Palace, the heads of various tribes and tribes are waiting like ministers with their heads bowed.
Above the main hall, a man in white robes stood with his hands behind his back.
"It's almost time, go get ready."
The man in white robe said calmly.
Behind the man, a barefoot girl wearing a sacrificial attire and a Dragon King mask knelt down and nodded...a great gift.
After the great ceremony, the sacrificial girl did not leave immediately.
"What's the matter?" the man in white robe whispered.
"Abba, if the sacrifice ends early, do you want to stay for dinner?" the sacrificial girl asked softly, "Today..."
"No need." The man in white robe said expressionlessly: "After the [Grand Festival] is over, I will return to the deep sea battlefield immediately."
"...Is the war in the deep sea so serious?" the sacrificial girl immediately asked worriedly.
The man in white robe said: "Those guys seem to intend to provoke the evil spirits in the deep sea to launch a large-scale attack in order to weaken the strength of Xuanyuan Palace."
"Those guys..." The sacrificial girl lowered her head and remained silent. After a while, she slowly stood up, "The auspicious time has come, Abba, I'm going down."
The man in white robe simply nodded.
He walked a few steps forward, walked to the railing, and appeared in everyone's sight... In an instant, on the huge square, people from all ethnic groups knelt down together and shouted his name.
…
In the unified and orderly voice, Long Xiruo looked at the man in white robe above the hall with complex eyes... The shouts of the crowd covered up her soft voice: Abba...
"You can go up." Luo Qiu whispered from the side, "You can see more clearly."
Long Xiruo shook his head, "No need, he will leave soon. Later, a war general will bring news about the unusual movement in the deep sea, and he will leave... If we can see this,
It's already very good. In fact, if it weren't for the [Great Sacrifice], he wouldn't be in Xuanyuan Palace today, and he hasn't been back for almost half a year."
"Master Xuanyuan Palace, are you often not in Xuanyuan Palace?"
"During this period, Xuanyuan Palace and those group of [Immortals] have been fighting a lot of wars." Long Xiruo sighed and said: "Every day, there are people from Xuanyuan Palace who need to be buried. Soon after this [Grand Sacrifice], even more people will be buried.
A great war broke out. On the one hand, Xuanyuan Palace had to deal with very powerful evil spirits, and on the other hand, it was attacked by [Immortals] from behind. This was almost the most serious damage Xuanyuan Palace had suffered since its creation."
She shook her head, "Let's not talk about this anymore...it's all in the past anyway. So, is there anywhere else you want to go? Or do you plan to watch the [Grand Festival] here?"
"She's about to go on stage." Boss Luo smiled casually and pointed to an altar in front of him.
This experience is very strange. I am looking at my past self...the guy next to me is also looking at my past self - the true dragon of China is even trying hard to remember something.
Thinking back to the [Great Sacrifice] on this day two thousand years ago, when she walked up to the altar as a priest, did she feel any strange eyes when she fell to the ground?
"Is there anything good to see..." the real dragon from China muttered, "I've shown you everything you need to see, isn't it enough..."
"It's so beautiful." Boss Luo praised softly.
On the altar, a barefoot girl wearing sacrificial clothing seemed to be stepping on the clouds.
The dancing sleeves of the girl's clothes seemed to stir up a fragrant wind, and the fragrance of her clothes and body spread endlessly.
Her slender and soft figure stands tall and graceful, like a red lotus swaying in the autumn mist. When her body and arms dance slowly, it is more like light clouds just blown out of the valley by the wind, or like tender willows when the breeze blows.
.
Light body and soft body.
"you--!"
At this moment, Long Xiruo actually saw Boss Luo take out a golden camera, just like an old mage, he raised it and took pictures!
Shenzhou Zhenlong, who always felt that his shame was getting higher and higher, couldn't stand the current atmosphere. "I...I'll walk around! You can see enough for yourself!"
She immediately ran away from the crowd in the square and fled into the main hall of Xuanyuan Palace.
…
She immediately fled into the main hall, without stopping, and walked all the way to the depths of the palace.
She was extremely familiar with this place, and not long after, she had walked into a courtyard... This was the place where she lived when she was a child. Because it was the [Grand Festival] day, the palace maid who was usually responsible for taking care of daily life in the courtyard was no longer there.
There was only one little palace maid left who was looking after the courtyard, sitting in front of the door and taking a nap.
Long Xiruo sat by herself in a pavilion in the yard, silently dazed... She touched her face, which felt slightly warm.
"This damn guy...really didn't follow you?"
She looked at the entrance to the courtyard, waited for a long time, but no one came, so she began to think in vain, and then suddenly an idea flashed, "Does this guy particularly like young ones?"
She seemed to have discovered Hua Dian, and suddenly took a breath of cold air, and the more she thought about it, the more it seemed like this - she still remembered that she was banned for testing the store and it became Long Er's thing.
I still remember that time in the basement of the villa at the foot of Mount Tai, when that guy was unreasonable and slapped his buttocks when he caught me...
"It's over, it's over..."
The real dragon in China was pale at this moment, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he became. The little theater in his mind even started, and the two little people on his left and right shoulders appeared again, as if they were fighting.
Suddenly, the little palace maid who was napping in front of the door said in a panic: "Master Turtle... I understand that I am guilty. I did not take a nap on purpose... Master Turtle, don't punish me!"
The real dragon of China stopped his random thoughts at this time and looked up. The person fighting in front of the courtyard was surprisingly Gui Qianyi, who was not much younger than him two thousand years later.
How big Turtle Qianyi is is still a mystery.
"What's wrong with the little girl? Napping is a need of the body. It's when your body grows. Only if you sleep enough can your body grow."
"Ah...yes, is that so?"
"I have a body-building exercise here. Little girl, take it. It's a blessing to see you today."
"Thank you Lord Turtle for the reward!"
Seeing the little palace maid kneeling down to thank her, and the old dirty turtle from two thousand years ago reaching out to help her, the Chinese dragon in the pavilion rolled his eyes.
I saw Gui Qianyi chatting with the little palace maid for a few words, then telling the little palace maid to leave, and then walked in... and walked towards the pavilion.
Long Xiruo almost thought she was exposed, but saw Gui Qianyi come to the pavilion and sit down, then closed her eyes.
The real dragon of China shook his head, and then seemed to remember something. He looked down at Gui Qianyi at this time, but showed a smile again.
She remembered that Gui Qianyi came here to give her red eggs.
Every year, Gui Qianyi will send himself red eggs.
She was born on the [Great Festival] day of Xuanyuan Palace.
Every [Grand Festival] is also her birthday...and at the end of every [Grand Festival], the tribe will celebrate for the outstanding tribesmen who have obtained the Fountain of Youth.
She has long been used to this.
As a princess of the Xuanyuan Royal Family, she should put her clan first, she should put her palace affairs first, she should put her country and the common people first, she should...
They said this and that should be.
Suddenly, Gui Qianyi opened his eyes, stood up immediately, and bowed deeply to the front, "I have met the palace master."
When Long Xiruo heard this, his mind went blank.
She turned back suddenly.
I saw the man in white robe walking slowly towards him, holding a basket of red eggs in his hand.
"Abba..."
…
…
At night, Xuanyuan Palace is brightly lit.
The war ahead is tense, and the atmosphere in the palace has been depressed for a long time. Today is a difficult day for the [Grand Festival], and new outstanding tribesmen are given the fountain of youth. Naturally, they raise their glasses and enjoy themselves.
Because after today, these three outstanding tribesmen will also be sent to the battlefield in the deep sea... Celebration is also a practice.
Deep in Xuanyuan Palace, in a quiet courtyard, a young girl walked in quickly.
When the girl saw Kame Qianyi sitting in the yard, a joyful smile appeared on her face, and she smiled like a silver bell: "Grandpa Turtle! I knew you were here!"
"I boiled some red eggs for you. I haven't eaten anything for a day. Come over and eat."
"Okay!!"
The girl rushed to the pavilion, lifted the cloth covering the basket, and looked at the basket full of red eggs, her eyes suddenly brightened.
The girl felt that this basket of red eggs was more delicious than all the delicacies outside.
"Your Highness, please eat slowly, it's all yours... However, Lao Chan's recent research has found that eggs are indeed more nutritious than ordinary meat. Eating more can help your body grow faster."
"Well! Then I'll eat more! I want to eat them all!"
…
…
She sat on the roof of the small building in the courtyard, silently looking at the girl and Gui Qianyi in the courtyard, smiling from time to time, and looking away from time to time.
When she turned away, Luo Qiu was standing in front of her in a dimly lit place.
She watched him walking slowly and whispered: "Should I... go?"
She didn't know how to calculate this day. But when she arrived at Xuanyuan Palace two thousand years ago, it was obvious that one day had passed, or even some more.
"There's no rush." Boss Luo said lightly, then sat down and his eyes naturally fell on the courtyard below.
"Did you...know this a long time ago?" Long Xiruo suddenly asked.
"What do you know?" Boss Luo asked with curious eyes.
"It's nothing." Long Xiruo shook her head, she hugged her knees and didn't think about anything else.
"Happy birthday." Boss Luo suddenly said.
Long Xiruo looked up at him after hearing this, and saw that Boss Luo stretched out his palm, and in his palm was a bright red egg.
"There will be no problem if you take it from the basket." Boss Luo smiled.
She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly rushed forward and pushed Luo Qiu onto the roof, with big tears falling down his face.
"Do you know that even if you want me to do anything now, I can't help but agree to it? I also... endure it very hard, okay?"
"Make a wish." Luo Qiu stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face and said softly: "Make a wish."
He just looked at her.
She looked at him like this too.
In the yard, Gui Qianyi's voice came, and it asked: "Your Highness, please make a wish. What is your wish for this year?"
"I hope that the world will be peaceful, the people of China will live and work in peace and contentment, and the common people will no longer have to suffer."
The girl stood on the stone bench of the pavilion, raised her head, put her hands around her mouth, and her childish voice echoed in the night sky.
"I..." her voice trembled slightly, "I want..."
…
"Master, the time has come."
A voice that seemed so inconsistent to Long Xiruo's ears appeared next to her at this moment... She felt as if her brain had exploded.
Looking up, under the night sky, the maid stood elegantly aside, with a flawless smile on her face, "Oh, Miss Long is still here. Is Miss Long feeling unwell? Or can't walk?"
Do you need me to help you?"
"Damn you... fight!!!!!!!!!"
The roar of the evil dragon suddenly resounded over the Xuanyuan Palace two thousand years ago.
