Crown Prince

The Dongfu of the eldest son of Xihai was built in the underground water vein under the Dragon King Temple built by the local barbarians.Originally, the residents of the Nanman were complex and had different beliefs. Many people worshiped Fuxi, Nuwa or the god of fire, Zhurong, but the dragons of the four seas were not prominent. Change.

Prison cattle came here in the prosperous Tang Dynasty more than 600 years ago. Because of years of flood control and suppression of demons and ghosts here, they have gradually gained the faith of a group of barbarians. The progress of the temple cannot support the completion of a Dragon King Temple, let alone the prosperity of incense.What really improved these things was the friendship between Prisoner Niu and the Barbarian King.Since the death of the original barbarian king, each generation of barbarian kings will become brothers with the prisoner cattle according to local customs, and the belief in dragons has become more and more prosperous in the south.

"Father, isn't this... too exaggerated?" Li Ying looked up at the temple built in the dense forest in front of him, feeling a subtle sense of disobedience in his heart.

Most of Rang Xing's attention was on his son, so although it was his first time to come to the prisoner's fief, he was not too surprised.However, the Dragon King Temple built by the majestic boulder in front of him did exceed his expectations.

He took his son who was still in a daze, and led him into the temple. It was still hot and humid outside, but it immediately cooled down as soon as he entered the temple, and there was a thick surge of water vapor.Li Ying looked at the gold-plated painted statue of the Dragon Lord in the center of the temple, and couldn't help popping out... It's too crazy, have people here ever seen his elder brother appear... It's said that Mao has been in all his life since ancient times Do you all imagine the Dragon King as Ojisang with an old dragon head wearing gold and silver?No, in fact, that kind is not the most outrageous, the dragon-headed statue in front of you, wearing the standard national costumes of Southwest barbarian men, is a masterpiece! ! !

Even though we know that even common beliefs will be influenced by local folk customs in various places, but this kind of influence is really... just like Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva came all the way from the west and gradually changed from male to female, Li Ying really wanted to hold digital machine, and then give the prisoner a card of eternal pain.

Naturally, he didn't know the relationship between the prisoner cow and the barbarian king, let alone that this Dragon King statue was painted by the barbarian king himself.Fortunately, Prisoner Niu himself is not the type who cares about his own external image, and he has never paid attention to the protection of his portrait rights, so the disastrous image of Prisoner Niu is deeply ingrained in the heads of the local barbarians.

Before Li Ying had time to look around carefully, the Dragon King Statue connected to the base of the auspicious cloud and started to move backwards. In the blink of an eye, a hole with a diameter of about seven feet was exposed, and then eight people walked out of the hole. The Handmaid with the Lamp.

"Greetings to the emperor and the prince." The maidservant in a beautiful skirt that dragged the floor neatly squatted down to salute, her head swaying with her movements, showing a dazzling brilliance.

Nian Xing responded lightly, motioning for them to lead the way.Li Ying didn't like this kind of bottomless holes or wells before, so he reluctantly pulled Father Long's sleeves and walked down the steps slowly.He followed Father Long closely, with four maidservants in front and four behind him. The stone steps were made of white marble, and they were very steep. They walked down a few steps, and the sound of the statue moving overhead came from above. The light in the cave also suddenly dimmed, and the lamps carried by the handmaidens became more obvious.

One foot in the Song Dynasty was equivalent to more than 30 centimeters in later generations. The entrance of this cave is only more than two meters wide, and it becomes slightly wider at the bottom, but only two people can walk side by side.Li Ying let go of his hand, slightly swipe his slender fingers in the air, and the dense water drops slid in a circle following the traces of his fingertips, and then silently coiled into water vapor and dispersed.The water vapor in the cave was so thick that it even made him feel like he was in the water... and the smell of the prisoner cow was everywhere.

He raised his eyebrows and snickered, thinking, even though he looks like Brother Duan Fang on the surface, in fact, he can't change the possessive nature of the Dragon Clan.He didn't know why, but he kept thinking that the family under the apartment he rented had golden retrievers. When he met them on a walk, they were busy watering the young trees. A large part of the community was given to the golden retrievers. …

Going down the winding stone steps of more than 200 meters, what appeared in front of them was the entrance of an underground water vein. Except for the stone steps going up behind them, there was no place to stay, and the water vein was surrounded by dark stone walls. , the sound of tick-tock made Li Ying's heart tremble.

"Father..." He couldn't help tugging at him.

Yan Xing glanced at him, stretched out his hand to gently support the boy's slender waist, and then led him slowly into the icy water.The four maidservants who had been leading the way in front of them walked in with calm expressions and steady steps. Most of their bodies had already been submerged, and only half of their tall buns were left on the water... Li Ying trembled, and couldn't help thinking of all the other things. Horror movies, like Underground Mermaid or something...

'If you are afraid, close your eyes, and Dad will take you down. 'Ran Xing's deep and mellow voice sounded in his head.

Li Ying's heart suddenly settled down, and he looked at the water below his chest and let out a breath.When the whole body is underwater, the faint human fear of the dark disappears, and the instinct of being a dragon has the upper hand, it's nothing...the water won't drown him, but the water is the most suitable place for them to survive...

When he opened his eyes, there was already an underwater Dragon Palace in front of him, just like the Crystal Palace in Journey to the West, with brilliant lights everywhere, and tall coral trees in red, pink, and orange red, which swaggered in an orderly pattern at the bottom of the water, shaded by the water light under various lights, The end is bright in color and dense in quality, just like colored glaze.In this underwater world, there are more than a dozen small and exquisite four-room and two-storey buildings. This kind of building has the characteristics of Nanman, and it is only the scale of barbarian kings or wealthy people. It is very similar to a courtyard house, but it is double-storey.

"Emperor, Prince, the prince is already waiting." An elderly female official came up to meet her.Originally, Prisoner Niu already had a fief, and he could be regarded as the dragon king on the list. According to the agreement with the barbarian king, he was the Dragon King of Nanhe.But in front of the Dragon Emperor, they are not in court today, so they are naturally called according to their relatives.

"Aunt Fengshui." Li Ying leaned up to rub her around affectionately, and the female officer suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"His Royal Highness is much better than when I saw you last time... He really looks more and more like an emperor." Feng Shui still looked at Li Ying with the eyes of a child, his expression was filled with emotion.

Li Ying smiled and glanced at Nian Xing, but did not speak.

"Where is He Shui?" Nian Xing asked.

"He Shui is guarding Xiao Shizi's side, and there is a lot of commotion over there." Feng Shui was even more happy when he mentioned the child of the prisoner cow, and his eyes were full of water: "I have been looking forward to it for so many years, and it is finally here. Thank you!" The protection of the emperor."

Li Ying raised his eyes and looked at his father, only to see the handsome man turning his head silently, as if nothing had happened.He couldn't help rolling his eyes quietly.This kind of TOEFL is really inexplicable, his father doesn't do anything at all, okay... The main thing is that the big brother's little tadpole is doing his best. ==

Just like the old days, Prison Bull has led his family eagerly to greet him, the Dragon King of the Four Seas is at the forefront, and Prison Bull's younger brothers are at the end.A large family rushed over, and one of them, a tall figure in gold clothes, immediately made Li Ying feel as if he wanted to escape from the earth.

He just knew it!Any such large family gathering is not a good thing! !

This is always the case every time the royal family of the Dragon Clan meets, first the emperor and ministers, then the elders, and finally the politeness between the same generation.The problem is that a certain father is the boss no matter what kind of etiquette is concerned, and besides taking advantage of a prince, Li Ying basically keeps bowing and clasping fists, and has no red envelopes to take.

As usual, Dragon Emperor and his younger brothers took the opportunity to hold a work summary meeting, and the young men who were left in place started to riot.

"Prince, come to me." Prisoner Niu stretched out his hand towards Li Ying.He was wearing a purple gold crown, a white robe covered with purple gauze, a black girdle and black boots, against that dignified and handsome face, he was an instant killer.

Although Li Ying felt ashamed under the eyes of everyone, he was used to the prisoner seeing him as his son since he was a child, so he ran over reflexively, and then the prisoner hugged him in his arms.

"Hey——" Li Ying was startled, and quickly hugged the prison cow's neck.

Prisoner Niu looked at him with a smile: "That's right, it's a lot heavier."

Li Ying was immediately dissatisfied: "It's not the weight, it's the muscles!!"

High and low laughter sounded from all around, which almost made Li Ying explode.Damn it, his father has always disagreed with him entering Dragon City Guard...but his cousins ​​have basically trained in Dragon City Guard, why can't he go in? !

"Hey, put me down..." Li Ying said angrily, "Won't brother take me to see my little nephew?"

Prisoner Niu smiled slightly, put him down as promised, and took him to the next largest building.Li Ying turned around before leaving, happened to meet Pixiu's slightly elongated phoenix eyes, and immediately gestured ferociously.

Pixiu's face darkened for a moment, and then quickly became thoughtful again.

The prisoner and the cow chatted as they walked.

Li Ying: "Brother, how do you know it's your little nephew?"

Prisoner: "You don't know? At the beginning, you can rely on the perception of parents and relatives, and you can use spiritual power detection when the egg is about to break. Dragons are yang, but if they are female dragons, they will be yin."

Oh, Li Ying followed him into the place where the dragon eggs were hatched.As soon as I entered, I felt strong water essence and spirit stone movement fluctuations, as well as two strange breaths, one of which was an extremely lively...very young...little fluctuation.They walked around the screen and saw a tall and strong man standing in the nursery, looking down into it.

Prisoner Niu stopped in surprise, and looked at the man: "Dongyun? You have something to do today, can't you come? When did you arrive?"

Li Ying was even more curious, because when the man in front of him turned around, he found that this man and himself were the only ones in the entire underwater dragon palace wearing Nanman national costumes.

In ancient times, the man's height had reached a terrifying 1.9 meters, which was almost as close as that of the Dragon Emperor.His appearance was the one that Li Ying admired very much, with a manly face with sharp edges, heroic slightly messy eyebrows, deep eyes, and a square chin above slightly thick lips.Li Ying found that his body was as strong as a bear, his skin was also healthy olive color, his hands and feet were slender but muscular. Wearing a Nanman man's wide-breasted long robe with this figure, he had to open the clothes on his chest. His chest muscles felt so hard at first glance. like a rock.

He also has slightly curly black hair like Nianxing, but the length only reaches his shoulders, and he doesn't wear a headband.

"I like him." Dong Yun didn't directly answer Prison Niu's words, but looked sideways at the round dragon egg in the nursery pond, his hard face unexpectedly had a trace of fatherly tenderness.

Li Ying: "..."

I'm swollen...I must be over-compensating and need to take a break...==

Prisoner Niu frowned slightly, but said nothing.He turned to Li Ying and said, "This is my good friend here, the king of Nanman, Dong Yun."

Li Ying was excited.Could this be the legendary barbarian king? ! !Sure enough, it's the same as in the game—but—he looked suspiciously at the two people who were relatively silent, and thought that no matter how amazing he was, he was still a human being... He remembered that his elder brother was obviously the kind of person who would do his best to protect the human race, but from the bottom of his heart In fact, they don't think much of their people... But looking at it like this, the two seem to be quite close.

What a ghost.
