Your Majesty, he is as beautiful as a flower

The banshee behind the snake demon took a step forward, "They are so arrogant, why don't I give them some color!"

The snake demon glanced at her, "What are you in a hurry for? Get back!"

The banshee took a step back unwillingly.

The snake demon looked at Rong Hui and continued: "I know you are looking for the mountain guards, and I can also tell you where they are."

When Ye Tianheng heard that they knew the whereabouts of his relatives, he hurriedly asked, "Where are they?"

The snake demon pointed to the stone gate behind them, "It's right there, I watched them go in with my own eyes."

Fu Binglan said: "It seems that I guessed it right."

The snake demon spit out the letter, "However, their mortal bodies were trapped inside for seven or eight days, and they might have starved to death inside. If you go in now, you might be able to collect the corpses."

Ye Tianheng took a step back in despair when he heard the words, Tao Ye hurriedly supported him, and said in a low voice, "Don't listen to his nonsense."

Recall, if what the snake demon said is true, the mountain guard entered the Dragon Palace to avoid the monster, and the stone gate of the Dragon Palace will automatically form a barrier after closing, so that neither monsters nor people can get close.And these demons didn't do anything last night, they deliberately touched the barrier this morning, causing the bells in the house to ring, in order to attract them and let them open the stone gate.

But what is their purpose?Is it something from the Immortal Dragon Palace?

Rong Hui tried the routine, "I don't understand one thing. What is the purpose of you gathering in Xianlong Mountain?"

The snake demon said: "This has nothing to do with you, if you can open the stone gate, I can spare you from death."

Rong Hui said again: "Then you must at least tell me what treasure is hidden here."

The snake demon said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, do you want to drive or not?"

Fu Binglan said: "We want to turn it on, but we can't find the switch."

The snake demon spat out the letter again, with cold eyes, "If that's the case, then you are useless."

Just as the two sides were about to start a war, the stone gate behind them opened with a bang. Han Chunlan stood behind the stone gate and said, "Brother Hui! Come in!"

Fu Binglan was surprised: "Mr. Han, why are you here?"

Rong replied: "Let's go in and talk, you go first, I'll stop."

The snake demon said: "Block the stone door, don't let him close it!"

Tao Ye supported Ye Tianheng and entered the Shimen. Fu Binglan then made a magic formula, set up a barrier as a barrier, and then led Yuchen, and entered the Shimen very quickly.

The snake demon's cultivation was extremely high, Rong Hui's enchantment was broken in a short while, the stone gate was about to close, the snake whip in the snake demon's hand flew over, just stuck in the gap of the stone gate, Rong Hui waved the whip on his hand Xuan Bing whipped out the snake stuck on the stone door, and with a bang, the stone door was completely closed.

The inside of the Immortal Dragon Hall is very spacious, with several oil lamps burning on the wall, illuminating the hall. There is a golden dragon statue in the innermost part, which is the most conspicuous in the Immortal Dragon Hall.

Besides Han Chunlan, there are three other people in the hall, an old man with white hair, and a middle-aged couple. It seems that they are the guardians of the mountain.

"Grandfather! Second Uncle!"

Ye Tianheng saw his relatives and hurried over to hug them.

The gray-haired old man said: "Tianheng, what are you doing running back?"

Ye Tianheng said: "Grandpa, I heard that there are demons in Xianlong Mountain. I don't trust you, so come back and have a look."

The white-haired old man saw Ye Tianheng's pale face, "Are you injured?"

"Small injury, it will heal in a few days."

Looking back at Ye Tianheng reunited with his relatives, Rong Hui felt a little relieved. He looked at Han Chunlan, "Brother Han, why are you here?"

Han Chunlan hugged the sword and said, "It's a coincidence that I came here chasing a snake demon, and I happened to meet a few monsters who threatened them to open this stone gate, and then killed the monster. Later, monsters came one after another, so we hid in here."

Fu Binglan looked around, "You guys have been hiding in this place for seven or eight days?"

Han Chunlan said: "I don't know how many days will pass, I won't see the sun here, and I won't be able to count after a few days."

"Then how do you know we're outside?"

Han Chunlan pointed to the stone door, "Did you see that glowing spot? It's the eyes of the fairy dragon statue outside the door. It's half-transparent. If there's any movement outside, I'll climb up to have a look. Who knows just to see it?" Here you go."

Fu Binglan nodded, remembering that the snake demon just said that they had been trapped inside for seven or eight days, "By the way, Mr. Han, how did you survive being trapped inside for so long?"

"A tribute." Han Chunlan said.

Fu Binglan was curious, "A tribute?"

The white-haired old man over there said: "Not long ago, I heard the neighing of the fairy dragon, so I prepared tributes to sacrifice to the fairy dragon. Unexpectedly, these tributes saved the lives of our group in the end."

Han Chunlan said: "However, the tribute is almost exhausted. If reinforcements don't come, I'm afraid we won't last for a few days."

Tao Ye asked curiously, "Reinforcements?"

Han Chunlan nodded, "Well, I have already thought of a way to send a message to the various immortal sects, asking them to help. There are many monsters here. If we gather the power of all the immortal sects, we will definitely be able to restore the peace of Xianlong Mountain."

Rong Hui is still confused about the ins and outs of this matter, now that the mountain guard is here, he must ask clearly.

The guardian of the mountain is the white-haired old man, that is, the grandfather in Ye Tianheng's mouth, named Ye Zhushan, and the other two are a couple, that is, his second uncle and second aunt.

Rong Hui walked over and cupped his hands at him, "Uncle Ye, this is Rong Hui, a disciple of Linxiantai, and I want to ask you some questions."

Ye Zhushan had never been out of Xianlong Mountain, so he didn't know Linxiantai, "Where is Linxiantai?"

Ye Tianheng, who was sitting next to Yezhu Mountain, said: "Grandpa, Linxiantai is also a sect of cultivating immortals. When I entered the mountain, I was captured by a monster. It was Mr. Rong who saved me."

When Ye Zhushan heard his grandson say that the young master in front of him is a lifesaver, his attitude softened a lot, "What do you want to ask, Mr. Rong, I know what I know, so I must tell the truth."

"Thank you." Rong Hui sat cross-legged on the floor like them, and chatted with him as if chatting with him, "You just said that you heard the neighing of the immortal dragon not long ago, so you came to sacrifice, why did the immortal dragon neigh?"

Ye Zhushan's eyes were deep, and he glanced at the statue of the golden dragon in the hall, "The reason why this place is called Xianlong Mountain is because there is a fairy dragon sleeping here. Every year on the third day of November, the fairy dragon will neigh. , then we must hold a ceremony and offer tribute.”

Rong Hui asked, "But it's only September now."

Ye Zhushan nodded, "I think there are monsters invading from Xianlong Mountain, and Xianlong got angry, that's why he neighed."

"Since the fairy dragon has already slept forever, why is it still neighing?"

Ye Zhushan said: "Immortal dragons are the spirits of all things. Even if they are in eternal sleep, there are still dragon souls, and the neighing is the dragon soul."

"Have you ever seen a dragon soul with your own eyes?"

Ye Zhushan shook his head, "Dragon Soul is not something ordinary people can see."

Rong Hui understood, so the legend of Xianlong Mountain is just a legend. If it comes to the origin, maybe even the mountain guards who have guarded the mountain for generations may not be able to tell.

"I heard Daoist Ye say that mountain guards used to be considered official positions."

Ye Zhushan was quite emotional, "Exactly, although I am a small official, my Ye family has been a guardian of the mountain for generations, so I am proud of it."

"When did it start?"

"It started at the beginning of the Daqi Dynasty, and it has been 260 years now."

"Then why did you withdraw?"

Ye Zhushan sighed softly, "Xianlong Mountain is very popular with the royal family because there are immortal dragons sleeping forever. The royal family will come to Xianlong Mountain every three years to host a ceremony and sacrifice to the immortal dragon to ensure the stability of the society. 24 years ago, His Majesty came to Xianlong in person. Longshan offered sacrifices to the immortal dragon. Unexpectedly, a monster suddenly appeared and destroyed the ceremony. His Majesty was assassinated, causing countless casualties. Blood flowed into the Immortal Dragon Palace. Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he issued an order to abolish the three-year dragon sacrifice ceremony. We guard the mountain Naturally, people were also withdrawn."

Rong Hui's hands on his knees were clenched into fists, and he couldn't help but tremble when he heard Ye Zhushan talk about the catastrophe 24 years ago. His father died in that catastrophe, and Yue Shangting's tribe.

Referring to what happened 24 years ago, Rong Hui continued to ask, "What happened to that festival 24 years ago, do you still remember?"

Ye Zhushan shook his head, "Through the years, many things are blurred. I only remember seeing a red and long-winged monster descending from the sky and killing people. Afterwards, the scene was chaotic and I passed out. When I woke up again , The Immortal Dragon Palace has become a mountain of corpses in a sea of ​​blood."

Rong Hui asked again: "Do you know why that monster is killing so much?"

Ye Zhushan said: "I heard that the monster is the king of the Yu Clan, and the Yu Clan is the descendant of the divine bird Bai Fenghuang and the mortals. When Bai Fenghuang fell in love with a human being, the Heavenly Emperor removed his divine book, and the Yu King held a grudge. And because the Emperor of Heaven was a dragon in his previous life, King Yu harbored hatred for the dragon clan, so he slaughtered the dragon at the dragon sacrifice ceremony."

After listening to Rong Hui, he felt a little chilled, because of the hatred between the Yu clan and the Dragon clan, so many innocent people died.

After a long pause, Rong Hui continued to ask: "Since the official position of the mountain guard was withdrawn 24 years ago, why do you still stay here?"

Ye Zhushan said: "My Ye family has guarded the immortal dragon for generations, and my belief will last forever. Even if I die, I will die here."

Rong Hui sighed silently, the Ye family has been in Xianlong Mountain for generations, although the legend of this fairy dragon is not known to be true or not, but the deep-rooted belief in their hearts has already eroded them.

Fu Binglan walked around the Immortal Dragon Palace, there was nothing else except the golden dragon statue and a sacrificial table. If she stayed here for seven or eight days, she would probably suffocate to death.

"Second Senior Brother, what shall we do now?"

Rong Hui got up from the ground and said: "The seven monsters just now have high levels of cultivation. If we want to confront them head-on, we may not be able to win. Since Brother Han has sent a letter to other immortal sects, why don't we stay here for the time being?" Wait here, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, we will fight out."

"But, I don't know when the reinforcements will arrive." Fu Binglan looked at Yu Chen, "We don't have Mr. Yu Chen..."

Rong Hui coughed dryly, and Fu Binglan noticed the look in Rong Hui's eyes, and immediately stopped talking.

Han Chunlan was curious, "Miss Fu, what's wrong with Mr. Yuchen?"

Fu Binglan smiled, "It's nothing."

Yu Chen, who hadn't spoken since he came in, looked at Rong Hui, covered his lips with a fan and yawned, "Brother, I'm tired."

Rong Hui found two cushions, found a place to sit down with him, "Lean on me and have a rest."

Yuchen leaned against Ronghui, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Han Chunlan saw this scene in his eyes, and always felt that the relationship between Ronghui and this young master Yuchen had undergone subtle changes compared to when he was in Chanzhou.

Han Chunlan lowered his voice and said to Fu Binglan: "Your second senior brother and Mr. Yuchen are very close."

Fu Binglan chuckled, "You can see it too."

Han Chunlan smiled, "I'm not blind."
