Pick up the Dragon

Those black shadows outlined a human figure—soldiers with missing arms and legs, and some with only half of their heads left; lonely old and weak women and children, with crooked backs protecting babies who are waiting to be fed.The white tiger was mixed among the broken crowd, and seemed a bit out of place. No matter what deep hatred he had in his lifetime, at this moment, ashes return to ashes, ashes return to ashes, and even his soul cannot be reincarnated. See you again.

The two dragons fell to the ground and turned into people. Li Yi looked at the black shadows and said in a low voice, "What a powerful obsession."

"Obsession?"

"The sanity is gone, and the obsession is still there." Li Yi said, "This space is maintained by obsession. If the Baihu Banner itself does not have this effect, it may have been touched by someone."

Before Peng Yu answered, the group of tigers not far away suddenly shouted one after another. It was unknown whether they were expressing anger or sadness.

Shen Chengjun faced the remnant soldiers and defeated generals silently, and straightened his back. He didn't say a word in the end, and the corners of his mouth were as if carved out by a knife.

A few white tigers walked around the tens of thousands of black shadows three times, performed some kind of etiquette, and finally turned into human figures and approached Li Yi and the others slowly.Bai Zhuo lowered his eyes and said nothing, the sockets of his eyes were still red.

Peng Yu forcibly tore his gaze away from those black shadows. He really didn't know what he could say or what to say, so he gave Li Yi a "what to do" look, and at the same time shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed.

Li Yi nodded his chin to signal him not to worry, and coughed lightly: "My condolences."

At this time, there seems to be no words other than mourning. Peng Yu inexplicably feels that human language is really lacking, and emotions are really barren. strong.

Bai Zhuo nodded slowly, without saying a word: "Let's get out of here."

Finally, Peng Yu couldn't help interjecting, and said softly, "How do you leave?"

With one sentence, he managed to break through the impasse again into embarrassment, and everyone looked at each other—how did they get in?How do I get out again?

Shen Chengjun took a step back: "Don't look at me, although I have held the White Tiger Banner for a long time, I have never encountered such a situation."

Everyone: "..."

Peng Yu said in his heart that the things you brought were evil, but you didn't care about killing them or burying them. Is this the kind of ideological quality of the generals of the Xuanjia Army?

But he didn't say anything after all, and he couldn't expect a ghost to save people from the fire and water, so he sucked his teeth and said to Li Yi: "Qiankun can't see any way out, the resourceful Dragon King has something to do." How are you?"

Li Yi looked at him in surprise, his eyes wandered around his face, and finally glanced down: "I think you should ask him."

Everyone's gazes surrendered to the little tiger cub, and Bai Zhuo leaned over to pick it up: "A Yan, can you take us out?"

The little tiger cub looked back at the ghostly tiger clan for the last time, let out an unintelligible moan from its throat, and then stretched out its paws to slap the void.

"Snapped."

The white tiger flag in Qianyue's hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and when they came back to their senses, they were still in the cave!

Peng Yu looked at the little tiger in amazement, thinking that this little tiger was no ordinary tiger, and saw it pick up a white tiger flag that was bigger than its body, move its four short legs, and wanted to hand it to Qian Yue .

"Give it to me?" Qian Yue doubtfully took the white tiger flag still stained with the watermark of the tiger's mouth, and put it heavily in his hand, "Why did you give it to me?"

The little tiger cub uttered a series of cries incomprehensible to humans, and Bai Zhuo kindly explained: "It probably means that he likes you, and... the knife in your hand."

"My knife?" Qian Yue was taken aback, and untied the knife from his waist, "But this knife is a knife for killing ghosts, and the White Tiger Banner is now a banner for attracting ghosts, I..."

Bai Zhuo shook his head: "This is not a conflict. Since Ah Yan insists on giving you the flag, then the girl will accept it, even though it has become a ghost flag now, and even though there are only a few of us left in the White Tiger Clan...but if If you have any needs, we are still willing to go all out, and we will still think of a way about the holy relic."

Qian Yue wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Yi, who patted his wrist, and the latter nodded to Bai Zhuo: "Thank you so much——I suspect that those dead tigers and bones were taken by the human race for something. If you can get it back, you will definitely give it back with both hands."

Bai Zhuo forced a smile: "Then I would like to thank the Dragon King."

Li Yi said again: "Since there is a white tiger claw in your hands, I don't need to make a fuss to take it again, but you must be careful not to be taken away by the heavens. We will go to the underworld to get the remaining one." , and join you again."

Bai Zhuo nodded: "Do you need us to go with you?"

"No need," Li Yi said, "The Underworld is not necessarily safe. One more thing is worse than one less thing. You should try to stay here and not go out. Preserving your blood is the most important thing."

Bai Zhuo: "That's fine."

Li Yi got up immediately: "Then we won't bother you."

"Dragon King is leaving now? Let's wait until dawn if you don't say much?"

"No," Li Yi waved his hand, "We're leaving now, everyone please stay."

"Wait a minute," Bai Zhuo suddenly stepped forward to stop him, stretched out his hand to hold the white tiger flag in Qianyue's hand, and saw a flash of white light, as if something had fallen into the flag, "I re-infused the white tiger flag into it." Power, as long as this flag is waved vigorously, my family can feel it."

She said and sent several people out of the cave: "Forgive us for our poor hospitality, if you have any needs, please send us a letter."

Li Yi nodded briefly, indicating that Shen Chengjun also hurried into the flag, and said a few polite words, turning into a dragon and riding the wind.

The little tiger cub bid farewell to Qianyue, the second dragon quickly lifted off, and the small area where the white tigers gathered soon disappeared. Peng Yu was still a little lost while sitting on the dragon's back: "No, what's going on? Let's go Going away like this? How did these ghosts become ours inexplicably? Just now, they came to Xingshi to inquire about their crimes, and they turned hostility... into treasures so quickly?"

"Otherwise?" Li Wei's tone was not very good for some reason, "there are still the remnants of the White Tiger Clan in the flag, so we can't kill them too. Besides, these ghost clans still have a bit of fighting power, maybe they can come in handy in the future , something is better than nothing."

Peng Yu couldn't help but look at him: "Didn't you say that the Dragon Clan doesn't ally with any other clan? You broke the rule several times, right?"

Li Yi was silent for a moment, and raised his tail again with a flick of the dragon's tail: "Extreme means should be used in extraordinary times, and it is clear that I am not the one who is allied with them."

When Peng Yu thought about it, he thought that this was really the case, the fox tail and sparrow feather were clutched on his body, and the white tiger flag fell into Qianyue's hands again, and the two dragons didn't touch anything at all.

He glanced at the white dragon, then at the gray dragon, finally let go of the subject, and asked the former: "Then...the White Tiger Clan really don't seek revenge from the Human Clan? This deep hatred..."

"How to find it?" Li Yi couldn't hear any emotion in his tone, "Nine white tigers, can they defeat thousands of troops?"

Peng Yu couldn't answer for a moment, and remembered Bai Zhuo's unwilling eyes, and felt sore in his heart, which was very unpleasant.He took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and forcibly put aside these heavy emotions: "Why are you so anxious to leave today, won't it delay anything if you stay for one more night?"

Li Yi replied frankly: "I couldn't sleep well there, it's still early before dawn, I want to go back and catch up on sleep."

It was the first time for Peng Yu to hear such a down-to-earth answer from the Dragon King, and he couldn't help being surprised: "Can't you sleep well? Do you recognize the bed?"

"No." Bailong landed slowly towards the Kunlun Shrine and sighed, "If you hadn't insisted on getting up at night, I might have fallen asleep."

Peng Yu: "..."

Co-author blame him again.

So Young Master Peng had no choice but to shut up and accompany the Dragon King back to the Kunlun Shrine to sleep, without disturbing Bai Ze and Mo Li.The two went their separate ways with Qian Yue, sneaked back to the room on tiptoe, and lay down side by side on the big bed.

Li Yi closed his eyes as soon as he touched the bed, and Peng Yu carefully looked at him under the light of the night pearl, then touched his forehead, and asked softly, "Why do you feel tired? Is the injury healed?"

"No," Li Wei's voice was already a little nasal, "I just want to sleep. You should also take a rest, and you will be leaving for Hades soon."

Peng Yu put his arms behind his head and sighed inaudibly: "To be honest, I'm a little tired."

"Huh?" Li Yi seemed to have not expected that Young Master Peng, who was active all day long, could still say the word "tired", and the drowsiness subsided a little, "Why are you tired?"

"It's been so long, I kind of want to end it quickly. And what I saw just now... I suddenly thought, even if I really find all the holy objects, will the world be stable? No matter how prosperous the prosperity is, there are beggars who starve to death. There are also ambitious wars, but after all, people will die, so what does it have to do with holy objects?"

Li Wei opened his eyes again to look at him, turned sideways, his eyes were not opened but seemed to be shining brightly: "When I first became the Dragon King 2000 years ago, I had the same question as you. What is the meaning of human beings? Even if we give them more blessings, so that they will not be hungry or cold, they will still have more selfish desires, start to fight for territory, squander their ambitions, and do not cherish their lives——I think Not worth it."

Peng Yu: "Then what happened next?"

"Later I figured it out," Li Yi stretched out his hand and wiped his lips lightly, "It's up to us to do it or not, and it's up to them what the result will be. Even if we can't let everyone die, we have Even though we tried our best to protect this land, many people have been blessed, many natural and man-made disasters have been avoided, and many lives have been saved invisibly—isn’t that enough?”

He said softly: "You don't have to stick to those dead people, look at the living people more, don't there are so many people in your Peng family who are counting on you to support them? There are also many creatures in this world who are longing for the stability of the world , we can’t accommodate everyone after all, so let’s take most of them.”

Peng Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he took the hand he extended, rubbed it on his lips, then moved to his cheek and kissed him lightly, and said in a low voice, "I see, go to sleep."

"Hmm." Li Wei seemed to want to say something, but was swallowed by the tiredness that came back.

Thinking about his words, Peng Yu agreed with his body, but his mind refused to submit obediently, and forced himself to conjure up all kinds of sensational scenes in his dream, mixing and embellishing all dangers and misery, so that he The restless sleep shook the mountain, and soon woke him up.

He opened his eyes drenched in sweat, and found that it was still dark. He couldn't bear to wake up the sleeping person next to him, so he stood there for a while, and finally couldn't lie down. He crept up, not daring to breathe, and secretly Slip out of the room.

He stood alone on the top of the mountain, blowing the cold night wind, and the palpitations caused by waking up from the nightmare had not subsided, and his heart was still up and down in his chest, slamming from side to side and refusing to stop.

A ray of light finally casually spewed out from the horizon. He looked at the mountains gradually emerging from the darkness, and there seemed to be thousands of ravines between his eyebrows, which could not be stretched.

The snow-capped peaks that stretched for thousands of miles quietly crawled under his feet, but strong uneasiness surged in his heart for no reason, and as the sun rose on the horizon, it gradually occupied the entire sky.

It was like the last calm before the storm hit.
