Chapter 140 Under the Soaring Dragon Pagoda

At that time, Elliott's tone of narrative was very plain, but Jonah felt thrilling, "Long Ji actually made such a decision... Then what about Asai, did he just leave like that?"

The Rose Knight sighed: "Yes, Lord Long Chang left the ruined Long Family Courtyard, and changed it to a new name. He walked around the world as the king of Assassin Simiang? Long Chang. He never stayed at one place, traveled from one country to another, completed an amazing assassin mission, and immediately drifted away. His reputation spread throughout the world, but who knew that he was just wandering around to escape,"

"Then his feelings for Long Ji..." The astrology slutty, feeling bitter in his mouth.

"When Miss Long Ji tells this past, the silver rose lit up a brilliant light that never happened before. We believe that the relationship between them is holy, strong, and real," the knight replied, "but the relationship cannot bear fruit. Lord Long Chang has been escaping. He knew that as long as both of them are still alive, there will be an invisible bond tied together between the two people, and even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can meet in a dream; while Miss Long Ji has been chasing, she knows that once she stops, she will have nothing left. Everything she believes in this life is in this decision, loyalty to the Long family, suspicion of reality, loyalty to the feelings, hatred to the enemy. She carries such a heavy thing along the way, and no one can share it for her,"

Jona suddenly remembered the days at Cherry Ferry. Long Ji once said to him: "Thank you, I understand what you mean, but you can't help me, no one can help me, even Eli is the same. You are all fools who can give everything for others, and I just bring unhappy women..." The 17-year-old boy pressed his heart and felt the pain of loneliness with empathy. Her lover is the enemy who will never meet in life; her enemy is the lover who is destined to die under her sword. The sky is long and the water is far away, and the years are easy to grow old. How can this pursuit without an end be over?, if others become the protagonist of the story, how many people can stand up their chests as strongly as Long Ji and bravely welcome the fate of this tragic.

Jona took a deep breath and buried the pain in his heart deep, "What's going on with the Dragon Family, Ellie,"

The knight thought for a while and replied: "A disaster, the specific number of deaths in the Long family was secretly announced, but the Long family occupied the top position in the seventeenth family in the East for many years was immediately lost. This large family that had been strong for thousands of years finally began to decline. Miss Long Ji released Lord Long Chang in the ruins of the Long Family's mansion. No one else knew about this. The Presbyterian Council immediately issued a seven-faced token that allowed to go out, and all its combat power was released. Seven teams were sent to hunt Lord Long Chang. As the best member of the 14th generation of the Zong family, Miss Long Ji led the seventh team to track down the territory of the late Tang Kingdom in the northeast of the mainland. It found that the first and second teams had been wiped out; and then followed the enemy's traces and turned south to enter. Qin State, at this time, the third and fourth teams were also broken into pieces; when the fifth team was destroyed, the remnant Qi State turned west to enter the territory of the Southern Shang State, Miss Long Ji finally shortened the distance with Lord Long Chang, but at this time the sixth team had been killed. Miss Long Ji sent her subordinates to continue tracking, and she contacted the Long Family Mansion in Suiyang City. She was promoted to the fourth envoy by the Presbyterian Church, and was allowed to leave the Eastern Continent and chase the enemy, and never died. But when Miss Long Ji caught up with the team members, she found that on the north bank of the turbulent Holy River, the seventh team was left with her, and Lord Long Chang disappeared on the other side of the Holy River, and the bodies covered the valley, and only we were passing by by chance."

"This is everything, so that's it..." Yona let out a long sigh, "Long Ji's story was completely beyond my expectations, and Asai, it turns out that there is such a past,"

"There is no more tangled love," said the Rose Knight. "I can't imagine the situation in which this silver rose will bloom,"

The voice of the knight gradually faded away, and the bright sun reminded Yona that he was still walking on the post road of the Southern Shang Kingdom. In front was the silent Long Shenlin, behind him was a long road and green farmland. His destination was the Long Family Mansion in the story, the ancient, full of glory and ugly, and was rebuilt again in disaster. The strange world hidden behind the wall. He suddenly remembered something, accelerated his pace to reach Long Shenlin, brewed some words, and said, "Little Dragon, do you mind if I ask you a question?"

"Of course," Long Shenlin replied absent-mindedly. He did not turn his head to look at the questioner, but just looked ahead anxiously.

"Six years ago...when the Tower of Heaven fell, where were you? Can you tell me about the scene at that time?" asked the astrology carefully.

The Foreign Affairs of the Shadow Sect jumped to the side like an electric shock, stopped and looked around, and then asked with a cold sweat on his face: "What do you ask about this? Senior Jonah, this is a topic that is unreasonable. If it reaches others' ears, it will be amazing."

"Is that disaster a taboo topic? Sorry, I don't know..." Jonah apologized.

Long Shenlin's figure suddenly faded, turned into a wisp of blue smoke and merged into Yona's shadow, disappearing, and a voice rang in the ears of the astrologist: "But Yona is the one who Grandma Zheng Zu believes in. If you want to ask, Xiaolong must answer. At that time, I was an ordinary child from the forty-four neighborhoods in the southeast of the family. The weather was very good that day, the sky was very blue, and there was no wind. I had the only meal of the day. Fried, practicing boxing on the roof, suddenly the sky collapsed and the earth broke. At that time, I didn't know what happened. I only saw that all the houses west of the twenty neighborhoods in the south were covered with gray shadows. The strong wind lifted me off the roof and fell into a pond full of mud. The houses fell one by one, and the world was filled with dust and smoke. Everyone I knew in the world died at that time. Only I was lucky enough to survive in the mud pond."

"I'm so sorry, it reminds you of this past again," Yona couldn't help but sigh, "Did you realize what happened later? The walls did collapse, right? Whether it is the 'Dragon Ridge' or the exterior walls of the Long Family House, the family members who were locked between the two walls can go anywhere they want,"

"The wall collapsed...yes, after saying that, the wall is indeed gone," Xiaolong's voice seemed a little surprised.

Jonah's face showed joy: "So many family members have gained freedom, right? They can choose to hide in the clan's mansion, wait for the amnesty to arrive, or set foot on the Eastern continent, start a free life, and no longer have to live a hard life without eating,"

"Oh, senior, what you said is right," Xiaolong hesitated.

"…What is 'right'," Jonah asked strangely.

Long Shenlin was silent for a while, "No one thought of escaping at that time. Those who survived were very scared. Before we figured out the situation, we all gathered in the unaffected streets and alleys, crowded together, so that we would not tremble too much. That year was a good harvest year, and we could probably eat enough. Who would have thought that such a natural disaster would happen? Later, the Presbyterians of the Zong family sent people to explain the situation, so that we should calm down and not be afraid. A new wall will be built soon, and the dragon spine will also be restored. In extraordinary times, the Zong family will open a warehouse to distribute relief grains, allocate enough rations and oil, salt, meat, and so that the ruins will be cleaned. After that, the family members can freely distribute the property of dead people and build houses in a homeless place. Those who participate in the work of cleaning up the ruins and rebuilding the walls will have three meals of fine grain every day, and pork and wine for dinner. Those who perform outstandingly will be selected and hired by the Film Sect first, and even teach the Dragon Family Nine Methods to encourage them. Now that I think about it, it is a good era for the family members. As long as I work hard, I can live a good life. Many people die at once, and the streets and alleys are no longer crowded. The newly built buildings have a different atmosphere than before. It was at that time that I was selected by the Film Sect, learned the Nine Methods, and became a foreign mission, and completely changed my destiny."

The 17-year-old boy was speechless. After a long time, he said, "You mean, even if the walls inside and outside are pushed down, the family still stayed in place, did nothing, and went anywhere," he said.

"Yes, senior," Xiaolong replied: "There are ten people who fled to the Zong family, maybe hundreds of people, and none of them left the Long family. We were born there and died there. The outside world is too terrible. The family members are eager to build the high wall quickly and keep the danger out."

"Don't you desire freedom at all,... Then, what is Asai's painstaking efforts? Is the sacrifice of cakes of any meaning? Have you never thought of changing anything for thousands of years?" Jonah opened his mouth in disbelief.

Long Shenlin slowly emerged from his shadow, with a calm and frank expression: "Freedom is something that the Long family does not need. Everyone in the world has their own shackles. No one can be completely free, right? Senior, the wall of the Long family mansion is the treasure left by his ancestors, which can isolate all dangers. Long Ji only separates the two groups of Long family members. As long as you eat enough, you can settle down as the Zong family and make your life, and you have nothing to ask for. Although I became the Foreign Affairs Commissioner of the Shadow Sect and left the Mansion to perform tasks, I always remember my hometown and I wish I could go back immediately. This is the idea of ​​us orientals... You may not understand it very much, senior,"

Jona murmured, "So that's it... Now I fully understand this story. It turns out that everything is a mirror and water moon, and there is no meaning at all..."

"What story," Xiaolong said strangely, "Hurry up and hurry up, senior, we must return to the mansion as soon as possible and rescue Grandma Zheng Zu,"

"Of course," sighed the 17-year-old boy, "she is the most innocent person, from beginning to end,"
