Pick up the Dragon

This year has come and gone quickly, and the Dragon King is still unresponsive to the two worldly delicacies of "dumplings" and "Yuanxiao". The Lantern Festival has already gone far away.

The excitement of Pengfu finally came to an end. The people of Xianzhou enjoyed the last wave of lanterns and set off the last wave of firecrackers. The New Year finally died down in the smell of fireworks, and Xianzhou returned to the right track with spring.

When several wintersweet plants planted by Peng's family were in full bloom, news finally came from Zhu Li.

The few people packed their bags and were about to ride a dragon to join the Suzaku tribe, but they received a grand welcome—hundreds of flaming red birds shrunk down to the size of magpies, and landed on the ground in front of the Peng Mansion courtyard. .

Peng Yu looked at the vermilion birds all over the ground with a strange expression, and inexplicably thought of a word-the door is empty.

He could barely resist the idea of ​​wanting to cook these birds together, and showed a kind smile: "So Hongdou, what do you want me to do? Drive the birds west?"

With a wave of Hongdou's wings, the vermilion birds dispersed again. Somehow, these things shed their hair so badly that the red feathers that floated down covered Young Master Peng's body.

He understood how bitter the Dragon Clan was when the two clans fought back then.

He gave Li Yi a very sympathetic look, and the latter looked at him expressionlessly, as if he had reached the limit of his patience.

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them, two dragons and two birds, embarked on the road of searching for the holy object again. Both birds could fly by themselves, but one was huddled in Peng Yu's clothes, and the other was squatting on his shoulders. Business: "The last part of Suzaku Ling is in Tengyang."

"Tengyang?" Peng Yu was taken aback for a moment, "Is it that far away? It's going to go beyond the border of the Great Zhou soon."

Red Dou nodded his head against the wind: "There is a 'fire' mountain, where no grass grows, and there is a cave in the mountain. The cave is so hot that ordinary people are not allowed to enter. There is a 'fire' pool in the cave, which is full of molten rocks. Right there."

Peng Yu asked suspiciously, "Ordinary people are not allowed to enter? Aren't you Suzaku, and you are not afraid of the high temperature, why don't you go and get it yourself?"

Hongdou fell silent suddenly, and after a while he continued with some embarrassment: "This...in fact, it is called a 'forbidden area' by the Suzaku tribe, and we cannot enter."

"why?"

This time Hongdou was silent for a longer time: "It's a long story, but anyway, the road ahead is long, so I can talk about it slowly."

Peng Yu nodded: "You say."

Hongdou: "God Suzaku and Qinglong were best friends..."

He just started talking, when he was interrupted by the Dragon King's soft spray, the latter didn't forget to interject while flying: "Repeat what you just said."

Hongdou coughed in embarrassment: "Suzaku God and Qinglong God are close friends who don't know each other...Really, don't believe it, although they have not dealt with each other longer than they have dealt with each other, they are really friends."

Li Yi ignored him and continued to fly forward.

Hongdou: "Their relationship is quite difficult to describe. Let me just say it, and you just listen to it. During this period of time, I have inquired clearly with the clan, and said that the positions of these Suzaku Lings are not random, but each has its own The function of "one town Hengshan to continue the lingering fire, two to protect the river from freezing, three to protect the mountains and rivers to grow vegetation, and four to rise to the sun to deter external disturbances."

"At that time, the God of Suzaku dropped these four feathers and was about to set up a barrier, but it happened that the God of Azure Dragon came to visit... Cough, to learn from each other, the two of them started fighting. Azure Dragon God bets, if the opponent loses the bet, you have to promise him a condition."

Peng Yu listened with great interest, and thought that this Suzaku god...was too unsteady.

Hongdou: "The Azure Dragon God asked him what the conditions were, and the Suzaku God said that if I won, I would set up a barrier to protect Suzaku Ling and prevent people from the Dragon Clan from touching it. The Azure Dragon God agreed after hearing that he had nothing to lose anyway. He also said that if you lose, then set up an enchantment, which can only be touched by the Dragon Clan and not by the Suzaku Clan—the Suzaku God also agreed."

When Peng Yu heard this expression became subtle, he felt that these two gods were going to play out of the circle.

"Because Qinglong God had already placed sacred objects in Penglai and Qingqiu at that time, and his divine power was greatly reduced. He lost two and one tie in four battles with Suzaku God. The counterattack wins in Tengyang."

Peng Yu recalled the barriers of the two pit dragons, and looked at the white dragon below him with a complicated expression.

Hongdou: "God Suzaku kept his promise. There was no barrier at the point of the battle, but a barrier was set at the place of defeat that the Suzakus could not enter. This is what we call the 'forbidden area', so the last part of Suzaku's feathers can only be troubled by the dragons. The two from the human race, and the two from the human race help us get it."

Peng Yu: "..."

He grinned one corner of his mouth like a toothache: "I said stir-fried red beans, you Suzaku clan are not afraid of being scalded, but you can't go there, so who do you think among the four of us is not afraid of being scorched?"

Hongdou knew she was in the wrong, so she couldn't answer for a while.

A group of six shut up together, Peng Yu watched the Dragon King's expression carefully, thinking that this guy might want to chew up the red beans and eat them.

The location of Tengyang is very remote, almost in the southwest corner of the entire territory of the Great Zhou. The two dragons ride the wind all the way, unimpeded high above the sky, it is really very happy.

Young Master Peng was sitting on the back of the dragon bored. His body was honest, but his mind was very active. He thought imaginatively, if one day he could build a "Quick Dragon Station" in the sky, how convenient would it be?

If the Dragon King knew what was in his whimsical head, he would have to push him and the bird on his shoulder into the water for washing.

Young Master Peng was sketching a grand plan in his mind, when suddenly he felt the dragon under his seat twist his body violently, and made a sharp turn with a difficult movement, Peng Yu was almost thrown off the dragon's back by him, and he hurriedly grabbed it tightly, Shouted: "What are you doing!"

"Sit tight!"

Peng Yu stabilized his mind, only to realize that something was wrong with the surrounding environment. The moment before we parted, the sky was still clear, but now it was covered with dark clouds for some reason, and lightning struck one after another, as if they were still coming towards them!

Peng Yu thought that they were offending some god again, and hugged the dragon's back rather depressedly, only feeling that the dragon under him showed a lot of flying skills, passing through the dense thunderstorm at a tricky angle, dazzling The white lightning struck from a few feet away, Peng Yu felt dazzled, and the hairs all over his body were about to explode.

The two dragons turned around in the thunderstorm, and they were about to pass through safely. However, at this moment, there seemed to be a big explosion in the clouds, and the thunder flashed again and again, and a thicker and brighter lightning than before was coming. Slash towards Jiuyuan!

The lightning was silent for some reason, Jiu Yuan flew ahead, half of his body had already gone out, and he couldn't even notice the lightning that struck his back half, Peng Yu's mind went blank, it would be too late to call him again, suddenly felt The white dragon under him roared, and his body suddenly rose up, and at the same time he was thrown off his body, he had already dodged above Jiuyuan, and he just blocked the lightning with his body.

Hong Dou made a loud and long cry, stretched his body, stretched his wings and turned into a big bird about ten feet long, cleverly picked up the person who fell from the dragon's back and picked it up on his own back.Peng Yu buried his whole body in the soft bird's feathers, he didn't care to adjust his sitting posture, he got up indiscriminately, and saw that the white dragon struck by lightning seemed to lose control and fell down quickly.

"Li Yi! Chang Ze!"

He yelled out in panic, as if it wasn't the dragon that fell but his heart, the gray dragon finally sensed it, roared and plunged down, chasing the white dragon and swooping down.

Hongdou followed closely behind, retracting his wings and allowing himself to rush straight down. Peng Yu quickly hugged the bird's neck tightly, blinded by the strong wind. , The big bird stopped the falling trend, flapped its wings twice, and landed steadily with its slender legs.

Peng Yu was dumped all over the place, jumped off the bird's back, crawled and fell to Bailong's side.

The Dragon King fell into the dragon three times in less than a year, and his face must have been swept away as well as his body. Fortunately, this is an uninhabited wilderness, without being surrounded by crowds, and he can regain a little self-esteem.

Peng Yu rolled to the side of the Dragon King in shock, patted the dragon's body a few times, and called his name loudly, but there was no response for a long time.The dragon didn't know how injured it was, its eyes were half-opened and half-closed, and the dragon's body didn't see any ups and downs, as if it wasn't breathing, it seemed to have died.

Peng Yu felt that he was suddenly seized by unspeakable panic, his hands and feet were cold, but the blood all over his body rushed to the top of his head, almost pushing three souls and seven souls out of the sky.He put his hands on the side of the white dragon's neck, his hands were still trembling, but he could feel the dragon's beating pulse through the scales.

"Stop barking," Bai Long's beard suddenly moved, as if he let out a long breath, "Num."

Peng Yu: "..."

Only then did a heart fall back to his stomach with a "plop", and he himself fell to his knees with a plop, and the blood that rolled to the top of his head "splashed" back to his whole body, as if he was very infected by the other party, and most of his body became numb in an instant.

He leaned against the dragon for a while before he could catch his breath. He stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. He felt that the effect of the dragon's slough was really worrying. It only strengthened his muscles and bones, but did not turn his fragile heart into cast iron.

"I said," he took two breaths, and finally managed to complete the sentence, "are you okay?"

Bai Longwen hummed angrily: "I'm numb, I can't move."

Jiu Yuan walked around him, his apologetic expression gradually turned into doubt: "Wang, you don't seem to be injured."

Hearing the words, Peng Yu also stood up, his eyes carefully wiped every corner of the dragon's body, and then he came to the same conclusion as Jiu Yuan - he clearly saw that the lightning hit the dragon's back, but the dragon's back looked like it with the naked eye. It was intact, not even a piece of dragon scale was missing, and not a trace of blood flowed.

He looked at the dragon lying on the ground pretending to be dead again, and felt that he couldn't let go, so he stretched out his hand to push the dragon's body: "Turn...Turn the other side, you!"

Bailong seemed to be able to move a little bit, "following the trend" he turned over and turned his belly upwards.

Peng Yu snorted the dirt on the dragon's belly, and his eyes were even more strange - the dragon's belly was better than the dragon's back, and there was no injury at all.

He couldn't help becoming more suspicious, thinking that the dragon wouldn't fall down on purpose to scare him, and it wouldn't do any good, and it didn't look like he was pretending just now.

He patted the dragon's belly to signal a certain dragon to get up quickly, and the Dragon King stood up again for a moment, shaking his hair, and flicked his tail to remove the floating dirt from his body. Seeing Peng Yu's puzzled expression, he explained, "I was indeed hit just now." , but this thunder seems a little strange."

He stretched out his paw and pointed to the sky, Peng Yu looked up, and saw the blue sky, where there was no trace of thunderclouds shrouded in it, if he hadn't seen and felt it with his own eyes, he would almost suspect that he was hallucinating.

Li Yi turned back into a human form, his legs seemed to be a little numb, and he leaned on Peng Yu. The latter glanced at him and offered his shoulders: "So what's going on?"

Li Yi looked up at the sky, and thought for a while: "Maybe someone is warning us... Otherwise, I wouldn't fall into this kind of bluffing thunder, just chopping the hemp and forcing me to fall to the ground, obviously because they don't want us to move forward."

Peng Yu: "Warning? Are you talking about immortals? Would they be so kind?"

Li Yi shook his head: "It's not a fairy, and there are not only gods in the sky - thunder, as the most common form in the catastrophe, usually means 'danger', and if our dragon clan survives the catastrophe, we can get the spell of attracting thunder, So thunder also means 'power'. The superposition of the two sides is likely to remind us that there are dangerous forces ahead that will hinder our actions."

Peng Yu glanced at him, thinking how many thunders can read so much information?Tried to continue: "So to put it bluntly, Tengyang is in danger and told us not to get close?"

"That's almost what it means." Li Wei's eyes moved suddenly, and he read a few words softly, "Tengyang... Teng..."

"But we have no helpers in the sky, who is so kind to remind us, how did he know?" Peng Yu said again, "Could it be that someone will obstruct us and want to snatch our Suzaku Ling?"

Li Yi twirled his fingers, as if he had figured out something: "No, things like thunder are more natural, so the so-called 'danger' should be anomalies, earthquakes, landslides, etc., and... the degree of danger Can't even resist our dragon?"

Hearing the words, Peng Yu spread his hands helplessly: "Another vision? Haven't we encountered few visions along the way? So it's so dangerous, should we go?"

"If you want it for sure," Li Yi walked around on the spot with his hands behind his hands, "there is no turning back when you open the bow, not to mention that you have already got the three sections, so there is no reason to get stuck on the last section—but since you can let him Regardless of the risk of being punished, we must warn the police, we should be cautious, go to see how the situation in the forbidden area is, and then make plans."

Peng Yu couldn't help but slightly raised his eyebrows: "Why do I feel that you know who is helping us?"

"Hush." ​​Li Yi put a finger on his lips, and suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered something.

Peng Yu's eyes flickered suddenly: "But isn't it already..."

Li Yi shook his head and signaled him not to speak out, lest he be heard by some ears in the sky: "God doesn't know the world, you know I know enough—let's go."
