The King of Beasts smiles but does not speak [Shan Hai Jing]

Ying Long.

The head of the Dragon Clan and the only Dragon Clan that has appeared so far.

Ruan Ruan pushed aside the irritating scattered branches in front of him, and asked in confusion: "If Yinglong is the only dragon, how can we talk about 'ethnic group'?"

While leading the way ahead, Shangzhuo explained to Ruan Ruan behind him: "The legend about the Dragon Clan is actually a prophecy that started 800 years ago."

800 years ago?

Ruan Ruan recalled it.

She was not born at that time, but that period of history is recorded in books.

Before that, I went to the master to borrow books to read, but I read several books related to that period of history.

800 years ago, the sea and land were separated, there was no king domain, and even the Lord of the Underworld, Liang Qi, was not born yet.

At that time, various ethnic groups fought in chaos, doing everything for the sake of chassis and survival.

It is very difficult for young Maruko to survive, and the birth rate of Maruko in this world is not high, so the number of spirit beasts is extremely small, and most of them evolved from monsters.

However, at that time, human beings lived very well.

Although there were also monsters who made chaos, but because the monsters at that time were tired of killing each other, their attacks on humans were not as rampant as later.

It was also during this period that human civilization was highly developed, and many countries and cities were formed.

Even later, even spirit beasts with spiritual consciousness were proud to imitate humans. This is why spirit beasts now transform into human forms, and their living habits are similar to humans.

At that time, there were few wars among humans, and life was rich and peaceful.

Perhaps because of this, the way of prophecy prevails.

Almost all extant prophecies come from that era.

Among them, the most famous prophecy is the "Oracle of the Great Wilderness".

This "Oracle of the Great Wilderness" refers to the prophecy from the land of the Great Wilderness, and there are four in total.

These four prophecies were engraved on the top of Buzhou Mountain in the wild land, but after the great changes in the mountains and seas, Buzhou Mountain seemed to evaporate from the world, and no one could find its trace, so the prophecy disappeared with Buzhou Mountain.

Before Buzhou Mountain disappeared, because it was too steep, not many people actually saw the four prophecies.

Among them, the third and fourth prophecies have only been seen by Liang Qi, the former Lord of the Dark World.

The remaining first and second prophecies have a wider range of spread.

One of them is what caused a sensation in the world back then, "After a long time, there will be no disputes in the world".

This prophecy has been analyzed and distorted for a long time, because no one knows what this "Jiu Ming" is. At first, even a spirit beast guessed that it might be a weapon.

After the "Jiu Ming Wang Yu" was established, some people suddenly realized, while some people questioned "whether the name of the Wang Yu confirmed the prophecy, or deliberately borrowed the word 'Jiu Ming' from the prophecy".

It's just that now that Liang Qi has passed away, no one can answer this question anymore.

Besides that, the second prophecy is about the dragon clan.

"When the dragon comes out of the Western Mountains, the people of its tribe should be the king of the dragon."

Ruan Ruan recited the second prophecy, and then threw the withered piece in her hand on the spot.

"When you say this prophecy, why do you always feel that one sentence is missing?"

"Missing a sentence?" Discussion is unclear, so, "You mean, it should be four sentences and four-character idioms?"

Ruan Ruan patted the dust off his hands, nodded: "Isn't it? Three sentences... always feel a little strange."

Although the three sentences are not unreasonable, but she read many ancient books about prophecy later, and found that one of the ancient books mentioned, "Double is expensive, so the prophecies are all double sentences."

Since it is "all things", how can the most famous "Oracle of the Wilderness" be a single sentence?

The deliberative mind couldn't think of these at all, and only felt a headache after hearing Ruan Ruan's analysis.

"What you said seems to make sense, but... I don't know why."

He thought for a long time, and finally added a sentence: "Could it be that a sentence was lost?"

Ruan Ruan looked at the road ahead with an unpredictable expression: "I'm afraid the transmission was lost."

Rather, like the third and fourth prophecies that "little people know", they must have been deliberately hidden.

but it does not matter.

Maybe when they see Ying Long, everything will be clear.

After walking for a long time, Ruan Ruan still didn't see the "Yinglong residence" that Shangzhuo mentioned, seeing the hot pursuit of the sun overhead.

Ruan Ruan sighed heavily: "Are you sure he's really here?"

"I'm not too sure..." Shangzhuo touched his nose guiltily, "I've said it all, it's just 'it seems to be here', not necessarily..."

Ruan Ruan didn't come up in one breath, and almost lost her breath.

She stared fiercely at Shangzhuo for a long time, until Shangzhuo took several steps back.

"If you don't see Ying Long today..." Ruan Ruan raised her hand and patted Shang Juan's shoulder lightly, "Then you are finished."

Discussion: "..."

I think I can save myself one more time...

Ruan Ruan squinted her eyes and looked around carefully. Even after confirming that there was no danger, she still raised her hand worriedly and put a protective cover on the side of the two of them.

Shang Zhi disapproved of her cautiousness: "Don't be so vigilant, our two spirit beasts can defeat even the army. There is only one Ying Long on this mountain at most, what can he do to us?"

Ruan Ruan didn't turn her head back, and said calmly: "Then why did the First Lord Jiu Ming search for Ying Long for so long, but didn't find him?"

Discussed for a moment: "The Former Lord ever looked for him?"

Ruan Ruan nodded: "En."

No one in the world knows when Yinglong was born, but people have heard of his name before the Jiuming King Domain dissipated.

After all, there was the "Oracle of the Great Wilderness" first, and people in the world are still very interested in the "King of the Dragon Clan" in this prophecy.

But no one has seen him.

After hearing his name, Liang Qi, the former master of Jiu Ming, also wanted to pay a visit and take it under his command.

But before he could find Yinglong, an accident happened 300 years ago. Afterwards, Liang Qi passed away, Jiuming was separated, and there was no more news about Yinglong.

"Let's rest here first."

Ruan Ruan found a rock, sat down casually, and then took out a map from her arms.

Shangzhi sat next to her, and leaned over to look at the map: "Are you tired?"

"No." Ruan Ruan looked at the map carefully again, "I just want to confirm the terrain here again."

This map was drawn in the shape of a bird after discussing it and flying to the sky for careful observation.

Although Ruan Ruan did not trust this guy's IQ.But for its ability to draw maps, Ruan Ruan is still very sure.

The maps that Jiu Ming used now were basically drawn after consultation.Not only is it accurate, but it is also very clear, even Liang Yu praised it several times for discussing it.

"Is there a problem with the terrain?"

Ruan Ruan frowned slightly: "No problem...but..."

But it is because there are no problems that there are problems.

Judging from the map drawn by Shangjue, this mountain peak is very unusual, and they have also confirmed the content on the map along the way.

It seems that this is really just an ordinary place like other mountains.

But if Yinglong lives in an unusual place...

His whereabouts will be concealed for so long?Didn't the other king domain masters find him one after another?

No matter how I think about it, I feel strange, but I still can't think of a reason.

Ruan Ruan sighed, very annoyed: "Before I come, I should read this map a few more times."

She folded up the map and put it back in her arms: "Forget it, let's continue..."

Ruan Ruan's voice paused, as if he suddenly thought of something, he pulled out the map and unfolded it again.

really.

The joy instantly lit up Ruan Ruan's eyebrows.

Seeing her expression, Shangzhuo said happily, "What did you think of?"

"En." Ruan Ruan sent the map to Shangzhuo, and clicked on a location on it, "Look here."

After looking at it for a long time, I didn't see anything unusual: "What's wrong here?"

Ruan Ruan smiled and said, "Don't you think it's against harmony here?"

"Violation..." Shangjue shook his head, "I didn't see it."

Ruan Ruan: "..."

I was so dazzled by joy that I was so crazy that I asked Shangzhuo to guess the riddle.

But think about Bai Ze... and think about the king who ruled the country with a dog...

I always feel that "stupidity" is about to become the basic national condition of Jiu Ming!

Fortunately, there are still her and the master's IQ supporting Jiu Ming...

Ruan Ruan explained resignedly, "Do you know the trees here?"

Shangzhuo quickly looked at the bushes around him: "Looks like Lisa wood?"

"It's Lisamu."

Liansha wood is a unique tree in Qingman, and this mountain is full of this kind of tree.

"This tree is different from ordinary trees. It doesn't like water, but only likes drought. The most amazing thing is that there is no rain falling on the place where there is this tree."

Although all spirit beasts have supernatural powers, there are few strange ones among the plants in this world.

Although this tree has no spirituality, it is particularly magical in this point, so some people call it "the god of rain".

"But on the map you drew, it's marked here..." Ruan Ruan pointed at the map, "It says that there are traces of rain here."

Shangzhuo looked over: "Well, that's right. Ah!"

Shangzhuo, who was rarely enlightened once, said in amazement: "Could it be that...there is actually no Lishamu here on the map?"

"That's right." Ruan Ruan was very satisfied with the rising IQ of Shangzhuo, "It means that the 'Lian Shamu' here doesn't actually exist, it's an illusion."

And why there are illusions on this mountain, who planted the illusions, and why the illusions were planted, it couldn't be clearer.

Ruan Ruan smiled slightly, gave Shangzhuo a "go ahead" look, and then took the lead to walk towards that point on the map.

"Let's go, let's meet the hidden behind this illusory Lianshamu..."

"Master Ying Long."
