teardrops

After the Dragon King finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, and said: "After returning to the East China Sea, I realized that my heart has been taken away by her. In the gorgeous Dragon Palace, I live every day without eating or drinking. I miss her all the time when I can't sleep well. Taibai Jinxing once said that if there is a destiny, she can meet with the king again. So when Huan'er grows up and can handle the affairs of the aquarium on behalf of the king, the king will Leaving the East China Sea again, looking for her reincarnated person everywhere. But Yuan Ji said that he did not find the Dragon Ball in time, felt guilty, and did not want to go back. The king built Siyu Villa near the place where he met her back then, and let him live I am waiting here, and if one day finds her, I will bring her to live here."

After listening to his narration, Zhan Zhao realized that Siyu Villa was actually built for this purpose.Unexpectedly, such a dignified Dragon King would have such a lingering past with an ordinary mortal woman, and he sighed in his heart, but he was even more worried about Rui'er's situation, so he said: "But now Rui'er's whereabouts are unknown. How to find her whereabouts?"

The Dragon King said: "On the day Rui'er was born, the diviner in the palace burned the tortoise shell for divination, and said that she also lost the Dragon Ball when she was 17 years old. If there is no good way to deal with it, her life will be in danger. This king is worried about her. If she can't survive this catastrophe, let her join the Taoist sect of the Celestial Master since she was a child, and teach her to use Taoism to protect herself when there is no dragon ball. It won't be like ordinary dragons, who can't even maintain their human form without dragon balls."

"When traveling in the world, this king once made a friend. He pointed out to this king that this king and Yuzhu have already passed through the catastrophe, and they will meet again in the south in a few days, but this opportunity is fleeting. Therefore, this king I have no choice but to go south immediately... I can only be ashamed of Ruier Huaner..."

After finishing speaking, a pair of eyes full of gods were full of sadness: "Young man, maybe you want to say that this king is selfish. But this king is helpless..."

"You can also ask this king's friend about Rui'er's whereabouts. He will definitely guide you to find her. But Rui'er's calamity is full of dangers, and it is even more related to the fate of the people in the human world. Young man, you have to be more careful! "

"May I ask who your friend is, and how does Zhan find him?"

"He is Master Shikong, the abbot of the Great Xiangguo Temple in Kaifeng City."

oh?Zhan Zhao was slightly startled, but he didn't expect that Master Shikong was still the Dragon King's friend, his expression didn't change, he just arched his hands to the Dragon King as a farewell, turned around and left.

The Dragon King stared at Zhan Zhao's leaving figure for a long time, sighed secretly, and disappeared into a ray of white light.

Kaifeng City, Daxiangguo Temple, the abbot's meditation room.

Shi Kong looked at the man in blue in front of him, his handsome face was full of anxiety and anticipation, he was silent for a while, and after reciting a gatha, he said slowly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhan, for informing this old monk of the whole story. A few days ago, the old monk had a relationship with the Dragon King and told him that what he was looking for would come to fruition. The old monk fully understood what Mr. Zhan meant. The old monk was not talented enough to find out the whereabouts of the Dragon Princess, but he did not know the whereabouts of the Dragon King. Adults are helpless."

When Zhan Zhao heard that he was able to find out Rui'er's whereabouts, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Master, and I hope you will give me some pointers!"

Shi Kong said: "Although the Buddha is merciful, he set up the six reincarnations to make karma unhappy. And under the hell of the underworld, there is another jeopardy, called Jiuyou."

Hearing the words, Zhan Zhao thought that the Dragon King had told him about Jiuyou but didn't go into details, so he couldn't help asking: "What kind of place is Jiuyou? Why did Rui'er go there?"

"Although Jiuyou is under the Yellow Spring, it is an extremely dark place, but it is connected to the sky at one end, and it is endless. It is full of roaring winds that can blow away people's souls. There are also sky fires that fall from time to time. If you fall into it, you will not be able to get out. , and will suffer eternally from the scorching fire of heaven and the piercing pain of the sinister wind. Therefore, the most severe punishment for the gods who have violated the rules of heaven is to be thrown into the Nine Netherworld, and they will never be reborn forever."

"Princess Dragon's elder brother, Prince Long, was captured by Feng Yi and imprisoned in the trapped dragon pool. The trapped dragon pool is a forbidden area set up by Feng Yi privately under the water mansion of the Yellow River by using magic to connect Jiuyou. In order to rescue her brother, Princess Dragon went to Breaking into Jiuyou alone, trying to enter the trapped dragon pool from within Jiuyou. Alas, that is an extremely dangerous place, but she ignored the loss of her dragon ball and was weak and forced to enter. This trip is really dangerous!"

Zhan Zhao felt his heart shrink into a ball, and asked, "Master, how can I get to Jiuyou?"

Shi Kong looked at Zhan Zhao, shook his head and said, "Forgive me for what I said bluntly, Master Zhan is a mortal after all, although his martial arts are peerless. The body cannot enter Jiuyou, even if Master Zhan's soul enters Jiuyou, then the Jiuyou It is so vast and boundless that it is impossible to find the princess."

"Master, Zhan Zhao is not talented. But Zhan Zhao can't stand by and watch this matter. If Master can help, Zhan Zhao will be grateful!" A pair of black jade-like eyes are full of determination.

Shi Kong recited another gatha, and said: "If Master Zhan insists on doing this, I will not stop you. Then I will send Master Zhan to Jiuyou. After Master Zhan arrives in Jiuyou, his body will stay with the old monk. I will definitely Take good care of it, don't worry about it." Then he took out a conch trumpet from the room and handed it to Zhan Zhao, "If you find the princess, you can blow the conch conch, and I will take you back immediately."

"Thank you, master." After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he put away the conch.Then he sat down safely and stared at Shikong.

Shi Kong murmured the scriptures, but he didn't know where it came from, but Zhan Zhao felt that Shi Kong's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, attracting his eyes tightly, but the surroundings seemed to dim.

Gradually, the surroundings became darker and darker, and Shi Kong's eyes also dimmed.He seemed to have fallen into endless darkness.However, the sound of whistling wind and continuous screaming and crying sounded in my ears, and the cold wind blew on my body, chilling to the bone.

"Is this the Nine Nethers?" He thought to himself, raising his vigilance in his heart. Looking around, he found himself in a vast and boundless space. From time to time, groups of flames descended from the sky, bringing some faint light , I occasionally saw a few hazy figures around, appearing and disappearing from time to time, and those wailing sounds came from them.

When he stabilized his figure, he felt the cold wind pass through his body. In addition to feeling the bone-piercing chill all over his body, he also felt a feeling of grief that he couldn't live without. After a while, he became a little dazed.He hurriedly settled his mind and walked forward.

Here, there are boundless expanses in all directions, and there is nothingness under your feet.But only the soul exists here, as long as you think of a certain direction, you can move there without any effort.It's just that it is very difficult to endure the pain of the wind howling from time to time.

Zhan Zhao held Zhu Emperor's sword tightly, and with a thought, he pulled out the sword, and saw a red brilliance bloom, and when the brilliance came out, it would not be invaded by the evil wind.

"Who are you... mortal... why are you here?" A vague figure floated to Zhan Zhao's side, also hiding under the light of Emperor Zhu's sword, asked with a gloomy voice.The man's figure changed from time to time, his voice was distorted, and he couldn't distinguish between men and women. Zhan Zhao was vigilant and asked, "I'm here to save people. Excuse me, sir, how can I get to the Sleepy Dragon Pool?"

"Save people?... Do you want to save people? Ga..." The voice was long, hoarse and gloomy, and chilling, "There are so many suffering people here, can you save them? Wahaha..." A series of laughs The sound is like a night owl.

Zhan Zhao quietly waited for his answer, but he still kept smiling miserably. Zhan Zhao shook his head slightly, ready to leave.

"Wait...don't go...fire...fire..." The man's voice was so crazy that it almost turned into a scream in the end.Zhan Zhao looked at the figure, and saw that he seemed to be very frightened, stretching out a vaguely shaped arm, pointing at the fireball passing through the air.

Zhan Zhao carefully observed the many fireballs, and found that they all fell in the same direction in the end, and his heart was moved.Huanzhu once said that there is endless sky fire falling from the top of the trapped dragon pool. Is the place where the fire gathers is the trapped dragon pool?

"The woman... went... can't come back... can't come back!!" The figure ran away while screaming, and soon disappeared.

Zhan Zhao didn't hesitate anymore, and hurried to the place where the sky fire gathered.

The distance seems not far away, but once it is done, it seems endless.Time passed, but the place was still so far away that it didn't seem close at all.

He was not discouraged, and still went there.

The falling sky fire gradually became denser, and he had to dodge from time to time to prevent the fireball from falling on him.However, some fireballs fell frequently and passed by, and the heat of the flames still made people feel scorching and painful. If they were directly burned, it would be a miserable situation.

I don't know how long it took, the fireballs became more and more dense, and none of those soul-like things disappeared, and they seemed to avoid this place far away.He was almost concentrating on avoiding it before he could barely move forward.Is she also in such a terrifying place?Where is she?He barely had time to think about it.

But seeing a place in front, the fireballs were all attracted into the midair and disappeared, and there was no flame gathering below it.From a distance, I saw a familiar figure in a blue shirt standing there, with a slightly hunched and frail body, seemingly panting endlessly.

His heart warmed, and the heart that had been hanging for a long time finally let go.He didn't notice it himself, and the handsome brows that had been tense all the time were also quietly loosened.

Rui'er finally found the connection between Jiuyou and Kunlongtan, but before breaking into Jiuyou and searching for a long time in Jiuyou, she had exhausted her strength and was no longer able to open the spell restriction here.She felt a tinge of despair: Is it really impossible to rescue her brother?

A ball of fire broke free from the attraction of the trapped dragon pool, and rushed from behind her, and when she realized it, it was too late to avoid it.Rui'er was shocked, but saw another blue light flashing, hugging her horizontally, narrowly dodging the roaring fireball.

Rui'er looked up, and saw that gentle and masculine face like jade, a burst of joy welled up in her heart, her beautiful eyes filled with tears: "It's you..." You actually came here, and you rescued me again. You loved me once, Cheng Jun is so affectionate, how can I repay it?

Zhan Zhao gently put her down, and with tenderness in his eyes, he said, "It's me. I'm here to help you save your brother."

The four eyes looked at each other for a moment, there was no more words, but each other's minds were already clear.

Rui'er pointed to the empty land behind: "This place is connected to the trapped dragon pool with magic, but a stronger restriction is set up. It is difficult to break through."

Zhan Zhao walked forward, and sure enough, he felt as if there was an invisible wall standing in front of him, and he couldn't take another step forward.He thought of the restriction outside the Yellow River Water Mansion, which was somewhat similar to this place.Rui'er understood what he was thinking, and said: "The restriction here can forcibly cut a piece of Jiuyou, and the spells used are more powerful than those outside the Shuifu. I'm afraid it will be difficult to open it with the Emperor Zhu Sword." She has already arrived here Staying there for a long time, consuming strength, and being invaded by the evil wind, so it has been unable to open the restriction.

Zhan Zhao said: "Let me have a try." After saying that, he stepped forward, drew out Zhu Emperor's sword, and slashed at the barrier.The incomparably sharp sword hit the restriction, but a powerful rebound came, shaking Zhu Di's sword away, and he was shocked as if he took a step back.

Rui'er looked at him, then at the restriction, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "My lord, I have a solution. Let me do it." After speaking, she took a step forward and walked in front of him.

A wrist like creamy fat flipped up slightly, and she held a dagger in the other hand, looked at the wrist, and bright red blood gushed out, and she dripped all the blood on the restraint.The restriction didn't change at the beginning, but as the blood accumulated more and more, as if it had melted into it, the restriction gradually became blood-red, like a red wall.Zhan Zhao witnessed it, and couldn't help but secretly startled.

"My lord, use Zhu Emperor's sword to chop it!"

Before the voice stopped, Emperor Zhu's sword had been drawn out of its sheath again, and a fiery red sword shadow was drawn, cutting directly at the restriction.This time, it was as if he had cut into a rock, and there was a muffled sound, and a hole was cracked in the red wall, and a strong suction force sucked the Yin wind and sky fire in Jiuyou to the gap, Zhan Zhao reacted very quickly, and hurriedly Protecting Rui'er with one hand, he dodged to the side, avoiding several passing fireballs.There was another crash, and a big hole was broken in the restraint.The overwhelming wind roared towards the gap, dragging the two of them into the hole.Zhan Zhao only felt a strong force sweeping him away, unable to control his figure, he could only subconsciously hold Rui'er tightly in his arms.

In the storm, several balls of fire hit his back and arms directly. Although his body was in the Daxiangguo Temple, the power of the sky fire burned his soul, and he lost consciousness instantly.He also didn't feel that the magic conch given by Shi Kong was caught in the dark wind, was hit by a cloud of sky fire, and was quickly burned to ashes.

The two people were drawn into the cave, and the gap quickly closed by itself, returning to its original state.The howling wind also slowly stopped.

Rui'er only felt dizzy for a while, and her eyes were pitch black.After waiting until he gradually regained his sight, he saw Zhan Zhao lying on top of him with his eyes closed.

"Young Master, Young Master." She whispered twice, his eyelashes moved slightly, but he didn't wake up.She just remembered that he seemed to be injured by the sky fire just now in order to protect herself.If the soul of a mortal is directly burned by the sky fire, it will be scattered and lost forever.He had not been burned for long and appeared to be in good health.But at this time, Rui'er has discovered that his body has gradually become transparent and blurred, like the spirit body of Luoshen before it dissipated.

Her heart was tightened all of a sudden, she knew that he would disappear slowly, that was the real, eternal disappearance from the sky and the world.

"No—" There was a sharp pain in her heart, she said goodbye to him before, and left alone, because she was afraid that if he came to this dark place with her, she would be in danger, but she didn't expect that in order to save herself, he...

"You are so stupid. I am a dragon. If I am injured by the sky fire, I can recover in the end, but you...why do you want to do this?" She looked at him with bewildered eyes.

what to do?I don't have my own strength, I haven't brought out the magic weapon that can save people, and Chu Shenshuang is gone, otherwise I can save the emergency.Looking at him again, his image became more and more blurred. If there was no other way, he would leave her forever.
