Chapter 318
On the back of the huge Gu Diao, there was an old man with a red nose, one hand was leaning sideways, and the other hand was holding a patinated wine gourd, he was looking up at a 45 degree angle, sitting cross-legged, the smell of alcohol was like burps, and the wind and snow were away.
"General Chen, what are you standing there for? It's still early in the morning. Come, have a drink!"
Old man Dong from the Huanlong family called him.
Behind him, a silver-haired girl stood with her back to him, her hair fluttering in the wind, which was a unique sight. No one knew what she was thinking.
Chen Yuan turned around, his eyes moved slightly, he jumped from the head of the Gu Eagle, landed in front of the old man, waved his hand, and tables, chairs, benches, wine, cakes, and everything else were available. Then he sat down and glanced in the direction of the girl's heart.
"Is this what she is?"
Old Dong naturally went to the table and chuckled, "I guess seeing the thousands of miles of ice and the thousands of miles of snow made him think of the flowers blooming in the North Sea."
Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and had a question, "The old man said before that Dragon Girl had lost her memory. Does she still remember who she is?"
“Of course, it’s not amnesia, it’s just the self-sealing of the soul after being seriously injured. This is a life-saving power of the dragon clan. No matter how serious the injury is, the soul will slowly recover in sleep, but will wake up completely when encountering stimulation. General Chen still has to pay attention. The awakened dragon girl is completely different from now, and even an old man can’t stop her.” Old man Dong reeked of alcohol, laughed strangely, and looked at Chen Yuan with a smile.
Chen Yuan seemed to be thinking about something. "If it is really possible, I really want to see the majesty of the North Sea Dragon Girl."
As he spoke, he poured himself a glass of wine, raised it, put it into his mouth, and then put the glass down, speaking in a light voice.
"Wouldn't it be more comfortable for you to stay in Jinguan City? Why do you have to go through this muddy water with Chen?"
He originally wanted to ask the old man to look after Genting Mountain, but he didn't expect the old man to bring the North Sea Dragon Girl along.
Old man Dong put the wine gourd on the table, and moved his ten fingers quickly as if doing arithmetic. Then his hands moved around like lightning, and with a flick, seven snowflakes fell on the table, four on top and three on the bottom.
Then, the snowflakes melted quickly!
"Water and fire go hand in hand. It's hard to predict whether General Chen's trip will be good or bad. I don't know if it's because of the general's strange fate, or if it's really true. Hehe, it's never too much to be careful."
"I have finally found a dragon nest like yours, please don't kill me."
Chen Yuan's face twitched.
This old man is usually not very serious, and I don't know whether he is true or false. It's a bit hard to guess. People from this ancient clan who are so powerful must have real abilities, so I'd better be careful.
correct!
He remembered something and raised his hand. A whirlwind formed in his hand and snow flew into his hand, slowly condensing into three characters.
But the next second,
"puff"
"puff"
"puff"
Just when it was half condensed, the snow exploded without warning.
Chen Yuan felt that suddenly a strange force stopped everything and he could not control it.
"Ok?"
He didn't believe it and tried it twice more. The same result made him more and more shocked.
Old Dong looked a little confused, "General Chen, are you bored?"
Chen Yuan had a surprised look on his face, and ignored the old man, only to write strokes on the table with his fingertips emitting tiny rays of light.
"Click"
A crack appeared on the table, then spread and collapsed, and the wine, drinks and cakes on the table scattered.
"Ouch."
Old Dong was quick-witted and stood on tiptoe to catch the pot of wine steadily. Then he lifted his head to catch the wine, saying, "Almost, almost."
But Chen Yuan was intrigued.
This is really strange!
Among the four carvings he copied using his Dharma Eyes from the coffin at Jiangjun Mountain, the first one told the origin of the owner of the imperial coffin.
The group of people left the Yunding Palace, and there were three words on the building on the clouds. He originally wanted to copy them out and let Old Man Dong, who was from the Huanlong family, recognize them. He thought that since Old Man Dong came from an ancient clan, he couldn't carve them out.
He immediately looked at the old man Dong who was muttering to himself, "Old man, stop talking and look at me!"
Dong Fu of the Huanlong clan looked at Chen Yuan with strange eyes, looking left and right, wondering what was wrong with this kid.
But the next moment, golden light flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes, and the golden light quickly condensed into a golden image.
Old Dong was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly widened and he blurted out, "Bai Yujing!" Then, he suddenly stretched forward, his cloudy eyes gleaming brightly, and asked, "Where is this place?"
These two obviously contradictory sentences reveal the old man's unrest.
Chen Yuan didn't expect that the old man from the Huanlong family would be so surprised when he saw this picture. He was also surprised.
"Bai Yujing?"
"Could it be those three words?"
The name was very familiar. In his world, there was a poem called "White Jade Capital in the Sky, Twelve Towers and Five Cities". A strange sense of time and space confusion made Chen Yuan a little dazed. The golden light in his eyes faded and the picture disappeared with it.
"Hey, hey, hey, look at me for a while longer." Old man Dong hasn't seen enough.
Chen Yuan was getting more and more curious. Seeing the reaction of Old Man Dong, he looked at him in surprise and asked, "Old man, are the Baiyujing you mentioned the three words on the Yunding Palace?"
"Yes, these are words from the Heavenly Book, a secret text. Even a thousand-year-old family may not know about the existence of this secret text. Where did General Chen get this map?"
"Could it be that you were at Jiangjun Mountain during the day?"
Old man Dong suddenly no longer seemed drunk, his eyes rolled around, and it turned out that he knew everything.
Chen Yuan remained expressionless, shook his head slightly, and made up a story naturally, "This is a picture engraving that I found when I was recuperating in a mountain near the forbidden land of the Cloud Sea in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
"Based on the information I have learned, I guess the people in the painting may be the group of powerful masters who sealed the Ten Evils a thousand years ago. So I am curious and want to show it to the old man to see what information I can get."
Old Dong looked at Chen Yuan's expression suspiciously when he said this, but he didn't see any flaws. After a while, he chuckled.
"Where this thing came from has nothing to do with me. I was just excited just now. It is indeed the three words Baiyujing. And your guess is very interesting. More than a thousand years have passed. There are only a few records of those people. It seems that they were deliberately erased. If we want to find the identities of these people, we can only go to the Imperial Capital and the court."
As he spoke, he seemed to be asking and answering his own question, and his messy eyebrows wrinkled.
"Is there really a place called Baiyujing in this world?"
Chen Yuan was a little confused by this old man and didn't understand what he meant. Wasn't it written on the picture?
Old Man Dong seemed to see Chen Yuan's doubts, and said with a half-smile, "I know General Chen doesn't understand. Just based on this engraving, it can't prove that this Baiyujing is the real Baiyujing, because..."
At this point, the old man pretended to be profound.
"Baiyujing has not been proven to exist yet!"
"It's all just some vain legends!"
"Some say this place is where the gods live, while others say it is a vast and endless overseas land."
“No one knows what this place looks like.”
"So, this engraving alone doesn't prove anything. It might just be someone's attempt to deceive people. I've heard a lot of this kind of thing."
Chen Yuan listened to the old man's story very seriously. He felt in his heart that perhaps the world was so vast and he, living in a small place like this, was far from understanding it. He felt a little longing in his heart.
He recalled the scene he saw at Jiangjun Mountain, where that group of people planned to resurrect those who died in the battle thousands of years ago. He didn't believe it yet, but when he heard the old man talking about the mystery of Baiyujing, he began to believe it again.
He calmed down quickly after calming down. This matter was too mysterious and illusory, and there was no point in thinking about it.
"I see, I've learned a lesson!"
But seeing him like this, Old Man Dong changed the subject and chuckled, "I think General Chen must have kept the engraving. Why don't you give it to me to study? Maybe I can find some big secrets, and you and I can ascend to heaven right here, haha."
I just said a few serious words and here it comes again!
Chen Yuan knew that the old man was starting to plot against him, so he just ignored him and said, "Chen is going to practice!"
As he spoke, he stood up and leaped onto the head of the Gu Diao, then sat cross-legged in meditation facing the howling wind and snow.
Behind him, Old Man Dong from the Huanlong Clan saw his back, shook his head, and sighed, "It's so lonely like snow!"
On the other side, Tianxiong Pass, Tianxiang Tower, at dusk.
Doorway,
"Step aside!"
Soon after, the sound of horse hooves faded away.
The captain stood at the door, bowing and seeing them off.
