like a dragon

Hu Er found time during the day to go to the eldest brother's place once, and sent him newly picked frost fruit and congratulatory gifts for the baby.When the little guy saw Hu Er, he jumped twice, stared at the black eyes, and kept "chirping" at the frost fruit in his hand.

"Good boy." Hu Er broke off the frost fruit and squeezed it into his mouth.

"Why didn't Xiao Qi come with you?" Mother Fox asked.

"Stay at home and recite the formula, where are the fourth and fifth brothers?" Hu Er asked.

"The work you assigned to Xiao Liu, the two of them went."

"Why is that?" Hu Er asked.

"The sky is dry and the sun is shining, I feel sorry for my younger brother, and I am also worried that if the delay is too long, more monsters will be victimized."

"Alright, although the sixth brother is an adult, he is hard-pressed to change his naughty temper like the seventh brother." Hu Er returned the nephew to his mother, "Where's father?"

"It's turning outside, you go to the back slope to look for it."

Hu Er found his father who was weaving worms against the sun in the broad-leaved grass on the back slope.Father Hu's single-handed weaving of beetles is as fast as Hu Er's when he saw him practicing kung fu with a sword when he was a child. Hu Qi's craftsmanship may have been inherited from here.

"Father." Hu Er spoke behind him, and it was no surprise that his back stiffened, and he cast a spell to put the bug into his sleeve - the speed was comparable to swinging a sword.

"What's the matter, little one?"

Hu Er found an open space beside him, and sat down casually. The scorching sun was already unpleasant for the little nephew when he was having breakfast.

"I have already notified everyone that after sunset tomorrow, Nine Tails Valley will no longer accept congratulatory gifts."

"Well," Father Fox nodded, "You can keep the monsters in Liming Mountain for a few more days, which is good for their cultivation. Even if they are not cultivating immortals, they can still live more comfortably."

Hu Er picked a root grass and handed it to his father, and looked up at the sky: "Recently, there have been reports from many places, the weather is hot, and the beasts have no water to avoid disasters, and they have suffered a lot. I think double-day volleying is not a long-term solution. .”

"What's your idea?"

"It is recorded in the classics that there is only one sun in the world, and people who don't practice can live and work in peace and contentment." Hu Er turned to look at his father, "Do you think we can follow suit?"

"I understand what you mean, but I'm afraid you should discuss this matter with Shen Shahai." Father Fox held the blade of grass, looked at Hu Er and said seriously: "The Yanding War lasted 300 years. If there is no Yuanhe His subordinates who died in battle are covered in dust, and I am afraid that the demon world will be even more in flames."

Still can't get around the Flame Cauldron War.

That was his father's generation.At that time, there were five suns in the demon world, and there was only summer all year round. The monsters, let alone adults, had just cultivated their inner alchemy and embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, and most of them would be wiped out in an instant.When Hu Er was born, the situation became even more serious. Except for the big adult monsters, most monsters hardly dared to go out during the day.At that time, the Great Qilin had escaped from the world, Father Fox, the old dragon Wang Yuan, and the Ruan family of the Phoenix clan joined forces to try to seal the redundant sun.Hu Er was still underage at that time, and he hid in the cave all day, listening to his elder brother telling him stories with embellishments.

Long Wangyuan is the most indispensable member. The dragon scales are hard and insulated. It is because of him that he rolls up the sun again and again, and then leans on Mengchen's back, sinking it into the bottom of the sea to seal it.Every time a sun is dragged down, an inexplicable seal will be opened, and a group of monsters will emerge from the void. Father Fox and Ruan led the crowd to slaughter them all, and then cut out the monster pills and distributed them to everyone to increase their cultivation.The war lasted 300 years. Long Wangyuan recovered from repeated injuries and finally dragged down the three suns.At that time, the adult monsters were all involved in that war, and everyone tried their best, but in the heart of Hu Er at that time, Yuan was the great hero who saved the monster world from fire and water, and the biggest contributor to the monsters being able to walk outside now.

It's been hundreds of years ago...

Hu Er's thoughts circulated, but he still asked without giving up: "If I act alone and seal a sun in the sky with magic..."

"You can't do that." Father Fox shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about whether you can support such a big spell, and you can last for a few days. If the sun moves, I'm afraid you will startle the snake."

"Scare the snake?" Hu Er frowned.

"Well," Father Fox nodded heavily, "The first two suns went well. When the third sun was transported, a gap opened in the southern wilderness. go down."

"How could this be?!" Hu Er asked with a stare, "God General Meng Chen was bitten to death by a monster?"

Father Fox nodded and shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "He claims to be Immortal Gonghuai."

"I'm afraid it's just an evil monster who claims to be a fairy."

Father Fox glanced at him with a friendly expression, his voice was low and tense, as if he was worried about being heard by someone: "My sword has reached his fairy heart. It is as hard as jade, but it is a fresh heart."

Hu Er's back jumped cold.After a few breaths, he said softly: "How can an immortal do this?"

Father Fox squeezed the grass in his hand, and continued: "He grabbed my sword, saying that we are ignorant, don't want to live on, and use his treasures."

Hu Er was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Immortals are like this, why are we cultivating immortals?"

"This is the reason why we declared that Mengchen died of exhaustion. The monster is dedicated to cultivating immortals, but he has never heard any rumors of becoming immortals for ten thousand years. We can't be sure that all immortals are like this, or he is the only one. Like."

"Did he just swallow the dust and let it go?"

Father Fox shook his head, let out a breath, and his expression recovered a lot: "Meng Chen was swallowed, Yuan was so angry at that time, he turned into a body, tore off his eyes, and he was bitten by the waist, and was almost swallowed. You In order to save people, Uncle Ruan cut his heart to Nirvana, drew the fire on his body, the split-eyed beast was scorched by the extreme heat, and I stabbed it in the heart, so he gave up and left."

"I only know that your eyes were hurt at that time, but I never thought it would hurt so badly."

Father Fox narrowed his absent-minded eyes, and said helplessly, "Why don't we want to go all out and drag another sun down, but Yuan Duanlin lost the dust, Ruan's heart was powerless to re-nirvana, and I was also blind and wounded in battle. After losing the ability to fight the split-eyed beast again, I dare not act rashly again."

"It's my son who is reckless, thinking that he can do things on his own."

Father Fox shook his head, and said slowly: "This is what big monsters should think about. In the hundreds of years after the Battle of Flame Cauldron, the demon world has become much more peaceful, and regardless of whether it is a small monster that has lasted for generations, even our natural The big monsters raised by heaven have the chance to have children, Yuan has a son, and your Uncle Ruan also has a precious daughter. I have the most, seven children, and now I have a grandson." Father Fox said with emotion, "I am old. Just now, for a moment... I felt, I felt that even if I killed a few little monsters in the sun, it would be nothing..."

"Why should father blame himself for thinking..."

"The big monster is endowed with extraordinary talent, and it should help the world. It is a big mistake to think only of yourself." Father Fox fiddled with the straw beetle in his hand, "You can do whatever you want, but there is one thing I will definitely I want to advise you, the land is bright, the sea is dark, mountains and seas depend on each other, this is the only thing that has not changed in the demon world."

"My son knows."

"Back then," Father Fox looked at Hu Er lovingly, "Since I mentioned it, can I say a few more words about that time?"

Hu Er nodded and lowered his eyebrows: "Of course, why are you so polite."

"The three of us were injured back then, but Yuan was the one who suffered the most. The murderer almost bit him off in the middle. Dragon scales are the hardest thing in the world. At that time, his broken scales were all stuck in the flesh and bones, and he couldn't pick them out. If you don’t go, soaking in the salty sea water all day long will add to the pain.” Father Fox frowned slightly, showing an unbearable expression, “Even so, the thing that hurt him the most was the death of love in the dusty battle. He was at the seaside of Shensha day and night Wandering, Uncle Ruan and I tried to persuade you many times but failed. Fortunately, he was strong enough, and he recovered later, married a wife and had children, and managed the waters. After so many years, the waters are probably the most peaceful place in the demon world."

"En." Hu Er lowered his eyes and clenched his fist, then let go.

"You admired Yuan the most when you were a child, and you repeatedly made trouble for me to deliver letters for you, but now you are separated from Shenshahai..." Father Fox thought for a while and sighed softly: "I'm afraid it has something to do with Shenshahai's kindness."

Hu Er stretched out his hand and pulled off his cuff, still lowered his eyebrows and said: "It's not a big deal, it's because my son is narrow-minded, and he will meet with Shenshahai soon to discuss big plans."

"My second son is cautious and meticulous, but he is definitely not a narrow-minded person, but what was the disagreement with Shenshahai before?"

"It's really not a big deal, but if I tell you in detail, it will show my son's hypocrisy." Hu Er smiled at his father, got up and said goodbye: "You and mother should not go home in the near future, there are so many congratulators who want to see you You guys, thank you in person."

Father Fox smiled wryly and waved his hands: "Back then I killed the enemy with a sword, but with my eyesight now, I'm afraid I can't even see wedding invitations clearly."

"You are an invincible hero in my heart." He finished speaking softly to his father, then stood up.

Father Fox looked up at Hu Er carefully, and said with a smile: "Go, after a while, I will be the hero's father."

"Thank you father." Hu Er said and left.

"Xiao Er!" Father Fox called him behind him, "If you really disagree with Shenshahai, don't force it, I will find another way."

Father Hu's tone was firm, and Er Hu's heart felt even colder.How can there be another way?What about the opponent who was barely injured by the three of them back then, and his father who is past his prime?

"Father, don't worry," Hu Er turned around and smiled proudly, "Hu Er will definitely not suffer."

————————————————————————————

With the mind set, even if the big event is at hand, Hu Er still feels a lot easier on the next journey of hospitality.The number of monsters who came to Hexi was less than yesterday, and with the help of Man Xing and Wen Xing, Hu Er finished his work in the late afternoon.He returned to the valley with a pile of He Tie letter paper in his arms. Hu Qi in the pavilion was writing crookedly with a brush in his two paws, and his homework as high as half his leg was neatly stacked next to him. He really wasn't lazy.

"Xiaoqi."

Hu Qi put the pen behind his ear, and stretched out his claws to say hello: "Second brother, are you back?"

"Move your legs and rest for a while." Hu Er nodded and sat on the stool opposite him, took his homework and checked it.

"Second brother, you've worked hard." Hu Qi pushed a cup of tea, "Drink your saliva to moisten your throat."

Hu Er took it and nodded to him: "It's hard for you to prepare refreshments for me because of your heavy studies."

"Should be."

What Hu Qi is transcribing today is the case of breaking the river a few years ago, which records the incident of the water monster swallowing the land monster.Speaking of it, it is also Hu Er's problem, because he doesn't like the intersection with Shenshahai, and he doesn't have strict jurisdiction over the areas connecting land and water, which led to this kind of thing happening for a long time without knowing it.That calamity monster rose extremely quickly, and after being dealt with, a single demon core allowed the four monsters to rise to one level each.

Hu Qi's handwriting is neat, and it's rare that there are no paw marks.Hu Er took a sip of tea and said to him, "If you have any request, you can make it."

"Second brother, was the Black Dragon King responsible for the Duanjiang case?"

In the Duanjiang case, Hu Er did not come forward.When the incident happened, Heilong wrote a letter of apology to Jiuwei's family, saying that Hu Er would not need to come forward, and he would deal with it seriously.He handled it really well. He set up liaison envoys where the water and land meet. If there is any problem, the liaison envoys will directly contact Manxing and Wenxing. Since then, no such vicious incidents have happened.

"Yes," Hu Er nodded, "it's just like what's written in the case."

"Then, are those liaison envoys all his divine consciousness? They exist in every water area. Is his demon power so powerful?"

Hu Er frowned: "What did you say?"

"I say……"

"I heard it." Hu Er waved his hand to stop him, and replied with a complicated mood: "It's not impossible, after all, Long is one level higher than us."

"I thought it was the hawksbill tortoise bragging. He couldn't even describe the appearance of the Dragon King. It turned out to be true."

"Speaking so much, you just want to see the Black Dragon King."

"Ah, hehe..." Hu Qi laughed dryly.

"He doesn't show up."

"Well," Hu Qi thought for a while, and then asked very anxiously: "If I practice hard, can you take me to see the Dragon King on the day the Dragon Gate is opened?"

It seemed that from the moment his nephew was born, he couldn't get around the puddle of Shenshahai.I originally thought that I would not have any contact with each other for the rest of my life, but now it seems... maybe the thought of a lifetime is a bit short.Hu Er stretched out his hand to pinch his ears again, and found that he wasn't angry at all: "What's so good about dragons? I'll take you to see the Great Qilin someday."

"Didn't the Great Qilin become a fairy?"

"Who told you?" Hu Er glanced at him coldly, "The demon world has been closed for thousands of years, have you heard who has become a fairy?"

"Great Qilin?" Hu Qi tilted his head and asked.

"The path to immortality is bleak, and the spirit of immortality is gone." Hu Er raised his eyes to the sky, his silver-gray eyes couldn't reflect any moonlight, "Cultivating immortality is only for the present moment."

"Second brother, don't be sad, I will definitely practice hard for you."

The younger brother's fur claws lightly covered his hands, and at this moment, Hu Er truly stopped thinking about the past that was entangled in his heart. Left and right are just irreversible things, so why make things difficult for the younger brother.

"Forget it," Hu Er turned to look at him, "Yuan Dan has doubled in size, so I'll take you to see Leaping over the Dragon Gate."

"Really, really?" Hu Qi's eyes widened.

"If you ask again, it's fake." Hu Er patted his head, "Go to practice, I'll find you when I'm done."

"Isn't He Xi over?" Hu Qi wondered, "What else are you busy with?"

Hu Er picked up a stack of congratulatory letters and glanced at him: "I'll tell you when I'm an adult."

"Oh, I'm leaving." Hu Qi waved his hand.

"By the way," Hu Er called to stop him, "Your friend is here today, let him stay for a while."

"What friend?" Hu Qi peeked at his brother.

Hu Er looked at him seriously, and said lightly, "Friends in the sea."

"Okay, okay." Hu Qi obviously wanted to justify a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he only agreed with a guilty conscience.
