Chapter 86: It can’t be a small ruined temple, right?
The next day, Hao Ren got up early, opened the window, faced the sea, and practiced concentration skills for another two hours.
The mist in the early morning formed a spiral of water vapor, which entered Hao Ren's various acupuncture points of the body unconsciously, leaving a little in all the orifices of the body.
Ruowu's Dragon Pill.
The second level of the Concentration Art is the state of drawing Qi into the body. Although it is not as good as the third level of luck flowing freely outside the body, it is already a big improvement compared to the first level of communication between heaven and earth.
After being tempered by the energy of heaven and earth, Hao Ren's body became more and more refined. Although his body shape did not increase in muscle size, his strength was several times greater than before.
Hearing some movement outside, Hao Ren slowly stopped his exercise, opened the door, and walked outside.
"Are you up so early?" Hao Zhonghua asked in the corridor when he saw his son coming out.
"Dad, are you still going to work today?" Hao Ren asked.
"Well, I left a lot of things unfinished yesterday. You look good, you must have slept well yesterday, right?" Hao Zhonghua then asked.
Hao Ren smiled and nodded. In fact, the additional effect of the Concentration Art is that it can quickly restore the spirit to fullness, which is more obvious than the effect of sleeping.
The father and son went downstairs together, and Hao Zhonghua took matters into his own hands and made some simple food.
"Dad, please take me to the city by car." Hao Ren said while eating.
"It's Sunday, no class, right?" Hao Zhonghua was a little confused.
"I'm going to Azi's house. Uncle Zhao is taking me to a place today." Hao Ren replied.
"Oh, okay." Hao Zhonghua bit the bread and didn't ask any more questions.
To a certain extent, Hao Ren is very similar to Hao Zhonghua. Even though he has deep feelings, he is not good at expressing them. When Hao Zhonghua was obsessed with his own research, it was Yue Yang who took the initiative to pursue him and finally caught him.
When Hao Ren saw that his father was absent-minded, he knew that he hadn't gone to work yet and his mind was already full of work matters.
After breakfast, Hao Ren left a note on the table and took his father's car to the city.
Hao Zhonghua's biological laboratory is in the city. When he was in Donghai City, he usually drove to work. The Climate Research Institute in Yueyang is on the seaside, not far from the villa area, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there.
Seeing that his father had to go to work on Sunday, Hao Ren felt that it was quite hard for him.
Hao Zhonghua drove the car, glanced at Hao Ren, and suddenly said, "Why are you wearing a bracelet like a girl?"
"What kind of bracelet? It's just a small bracelet." Hao Ren defended.
"Is this given to you by little Azi?" Hao Zhonghua asked.
Hao Ren shook his head.
Hao Zhonghua didn't care so much, he just asked casually. Anyway, among young people nowadays, it is common for boys to wear a few bracelets. Moreover, when he went to Japan, the United States, and Europe, he saw a lot of more fashionable outfits.
But he never imagined that this small thing that he thought he bought at a roadside stall for 3 to 5 yuan was actually a type of item that he could not imagine.
He thought for a while and then said, "I may have to go out in two days..."
"Where to go?" Hao Ren asked immediately.
"Go to Connecticut, USA. There is an academic exchange program at Yale University, and there are some friends in the biology community in New York. I want to visit them too," Hao Zhonghua said.
"How long will it take?" Hao Ren asked again.
"Well... about two weeks." Hao Zhonghua replied.
Hao Ren remained silent, feeling a little unhappy. He had just returned to China a few days ago and had to leave again. No wonder grandma always complained.
"But your mother is not going this time. She will stay in Donghai City to take care of grandma." Hao Zhonghua said.
Seeing that his son didn't answer, Hao Zhonghua knew that he was unhappy, "You take care of yourself and spend more time with grandma."
Hao Ren still didn't say anything. He thought his father would stay longer when he came back this time. Who knew that after settling the dinner party for Zhao Yanzi's family, he would go abroad again.
The car arrived at the door of Zhao Yanzi's house. Zhao Guang heard the sound and went out to pick it up in person.
When Hao Zhonghua saw Zhao Guang coming, he hurriedly opened the car door and walked out to exchange greetings.
"Would you mind if I take Ah Ren to a place to play today?" Zhao Guang, a handsome man, said in a loud voice.
"Haha, of course I won't mind. I've been busy with work recently. When I have some free time in the future, I will take Ah Zi out with our family to have some fun." Hao Zhonghua, who also had a majestic figure and an extraordinary bearing, replied resoundingly.
"Okay, okay..." Zhao Guang and Hao Zhonghua exchanged a few words of greetings.
Then, Hao Zhonghua had to go to work and drove away. Zhao Guang led Hao Ren into the house.
Thinking of going to the so-called Dragon Palace soon, Hao Ren was a little uneasy.
"Azi, have you gotten up?" Zhao Guang asked loudly after entering the room.
"Oh...I still want to sleep!" Zhao Yanzi shouted lazily and coquettishly in the room upstairs.
Zhao Guang took Hao Ren upstairs and opened her door.
I saw Zhao Yanzi curled up in the bed, stretching out his two slender calves, his hair was messy, and his pajamas were disheveled. He looked like a little bird that hadn't woken up yet.
She opened her eyes drowsily and saw Hao Ren at the door. She suddenly screamed and quickly shrank into the quilt like a snail, "Dad! Why did you bring him up here!"
"Are you going to the Dragon Palace?" Zhao Guang asked, standing at the door.
"I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm not going..." Zhao Yanzi rolled around in bed and shouted.
Zhao Guang heaved a sigh of relief and shouted to the next room, "Hongyu, then you stay at home and take care of Ah Zi, and I'll take Ah Ren for a walk around the Dragon Palace."
"Okay." Zhao Hongyu replied cheerfully in the bedroom next door.
Their conversation was like driving to an old house in the countryside to pick up something, and it immediately destroyed the excitement and mystery that Hao Ren had built up all night long.
"Forget it, Ah Zi still needs to sleep in, let's go together. It's really hard for her to prepare for the exam this week, so let her rest during the weekend." Zhao Guang led Hao Ren out of Zhao Yanzi's room and said.
"Yeah." Hao Ren nodded. He knew that Zhao Yanzi had a girlish temper and never cared about her.
Seeing Zhao Guang's ordinary expression, as if he was just going for a walk around his hometown, Hao Ren then thought: Could it be that my expectations are too high? The real Dragon Palace is just a small place like a small ruined temple or an ancestral temple.
, that’s why they didn’t stay in the sea and went ashore to do business one after another? There were no natural treasures or rare animals at all?
This feeling is like a new top scholar entering the Jinluan Palace. No matter how he pretends to be calm, it is all fake.
Zhao Guang ignored Hao Ren's uneasiness, drove out his black Chevrolet, took Hao Ren and set off towards the seaside.
As they drove, Hao Ren found that the route was getting closer and closer to their family's resort villa area. Gradually, they could even see their villa next to the beach.
Uh... It turns out that the Dragon Palace is near our home... We have been a "neighbor" for several years, but we never knew about it... Hao Ren thought to himself.
Zhao Guang turned a corner and entered another area. This place is not far from the lively "Gold Coast", but there are many rocks and strong winds and waves, so few people come here.
Zhao Guang parked the car next to him and led Hao Ren towards the largest rock.
The shape of this reef is like an upright shell, with a deep groove in the middle that can hide almost half a person.
"Activate the Concentration Art, and then hold this in your mouth." Zhao Guang put a pearl-like bead into Hao Ren's palm.
Hao Ren did as he was told, and immediately felt as if a layer of cold air was covering his whole body. Zhao Guang pushed Hao Ren's back gently, and Hao Ren crashed into the rock.
He instinctively closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he found that he was already at the bottom of the sea.
The sea water surrounded him, but he couldn't get closer than one meter. The beads in his mouth were getting colder and colder, sucking out the energy from his body bit by bit.
What I have in my mouth is the legendary "water-proof bead". It can be considered a magic weapon... Hao Ren secretly guessed in his heart.
"Don't think nonsense, follow me." Zhao Guang came over and said, leading the way.
He didn't use any magic weapon, but the sea water automatically made a one-meter passage in front of him. This is his skill.
That Concentration Art is not only the basic skill of their dragon clan, but also the "verification code" for passing the reef passage. If you haven't practiced the Concentration Art, you can't get in. No wonder Su Han was like this after feeling my breath.
I'm nervous because this basic technique is also the key to keeping their secrets and needs to be strictly controlled.
Hao Ren continued to think while following Zhao Guang.
The sea water splashed in front of him and he dodged automatically. Hao Ren followed Zhao Guang closely with the water droplet in his mouth, and was not affected by the aftermath.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Hao Ren looked over Zhao Guang's shoulder and saw a shining golden object in front of him.
"Follow me, don't take any wrong step." Zhao Guang suddenly sent a message again.
Probably because he was worried, he explained, "There are various strict formations around here. If you make any mistake, you may be wiped out."
After hearing these words, Hao Ren's attention suddenly lifted, and the mood that he originally wanted to look around suddenly stopped.
I am the son-in-law of the Dragon King. Wouldn't it be a big joke if I hung it at the entrance of the Dragon Palace...
"Second from the left, take two steps forward, first from the right, take two steps forward..." Zhao Guang's calm voice was very clearly conveyed to Hao Ren's mind.
Hao Ren did not dare to be careless, and followed Zhao Guang's steps unhurriedly.
This way of walking is similar to the "hopscotch" game I played when I was a kid, but the pressure is completely different!
Who would have thought that this calm and peaceful sea water contains the danger of "life and death at the same time"!
