Looking at the endless lake in front of him, Li Chong couldn't help but think of Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia, whom he had been separated from for more than a month.
I don't know how they are doing now.
After getting along for a short time, I got to know these two friends who value love and justice in this dangerous world, and I couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Moreover, he made great progress in martial arts and even obtained a copy of the ancient martial arts technique "The Sun and Moon Vajra Wheel".
Thinking of the book of ancient martial arts skills that Yan Chixia gave to her when they were parting, she couldn't help but feel extremely moved. The ancient skills, whether they were martial arts skills or Taoist magic, are extremely precious to today's monks.
Moreover, according to Yan Chixia, this martial arts book was discovered by the founder of Shushan in a famous ancient ruins. It can be seen that it must have been an extremely powerful martial arts book even in ancient times, let alone today's era.
In more than a month, with the qualifications of a martial saint and a high position, he could only practice with a small amount of success, which made Li Chong pay more attention to this ancient technique.
As we all know, the more powerful the skills are, the more difficult they are to practice. With Li Chong's level as a martial arts master, he can easily master any martial arts skills and achieve success. However, this set of skills is only slightly successful now, which shows its great potential.
So every time I think about this, I can't help but feel grateful to Yan Chixia. What I lack now is martial arts skills, which can almost be said to be a timely help.
Looking at the 800-mile Dongting, I felt very excited. The largest lake in the world is indeed spectacular. The 800-mile Dongting Lake gave Li Chong a concrete understanding of the strength of the Dongting Dragon Palace. The Dragon Palace was much more powerful than he imagined.
The larger the lake, the more aquatic tribes will be raised, the more spirits will appear, and the corresponding dragon tribe will be more powerful. Without strong strength, how can it suppress countless ferocious aquatic tribes and sit firmly in the Dragon Court.
However, Li Chong did not have a deep understanding of the Dongting Dragon Palace. Now, as long as the letter is delivered to the Dragon Palace, his promise can be fulfilled. As for the treasures and treasures promised by the Dragon Girl, Li Chong did not dare to have the slightest extravagant hopes.
In the eyes of Dragon Palace, he is just a mortal. Perhaps it is his honor to deliver a message to their princess!
As long as the Dragon Palace doesn't turn its back and deny anyone by then, it will be a blessing.
When the dragon girl gave him the Mysterious Pearl that day, she deceived him by saying that it contained some kind of natal mark. If he had not possessed the spiritual power of the God of Death and found out that there was a deceit in it, he would have dared to use it only after sending the letter. By that time, this
It's hard to say whether Xuan Mizhu will still be his.
From this point, Li Chong knew that the Dongting Dragon Girl was not as simple as he thought, at least not as miserable and pitiful as what he saw that day. A quick glance at the whole picture showed that the people of the Dragon Palace must not be economical lamps.
I am not greedy for favors. I left immediately after sending the letter, not wanting to have any interaction with the people of Dragon Palace.
From now on, I can plan my journey to the west, not only for Wu Zetian to usurp the Tang Dynasty and establish Zhou Dynasty, but also to meet the immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons in this world.
I found the Sheju mentioned by the Dragon Girl, followed the instructions one by one, and now I am waiting for the Dragon Clan people to arrive.
Standing by the lake, Li Chong couldn't help but be curious about the visitor to the Dragon Palace. Could the visitor be the Yaksha who often appears in mythology?
Is Yaksha really as ferocious and terrifying as the legend says?
Thinking of this, Li Chong couldn't help but smile bitterly. He realized that he knew very little about this world of gods and demons. He was full of curiosity about everything. It seemed that he really needed to travel around!
While Li Chong was sighing, a big wave suddenly rose from the lake in the distance. The waves were so high that they suddenly rose from the lake.
A humanoid soldier wearing fish scale armor and holding a spear stood on the wave, looked at Li Chong from a distance and yelled.
"I'm a mortal, you're the one knocking on the door. Tell me if you have anything to do. Don't delay grandpa's business."
His voice was full of domineering and commanding. His expression was also extremely arrogant, as if speaking to a mortal was a gift to him.
Listening to the sound, Li Chong looked at the soldiers in the waves in the distance.
I can't help but feel a little disappointed. This looks exactly like a human soldier. There is no scary and ferocious head, nor any weird body. It's just that the fish scales on the body are very strong, and they should have fallen off and been refined after the main body was transformed.
The result is far superior to ordinary refined iron armor.
This soldier certainly has the strength of a bone-refining realm martial artist, which surprised Li Chong a little.
An ordinary patrolling guy could have such force, then how powerful the real master of Dongting Lake Dragon Palace would be!
For a moment, Li Chong was filled with fear of the Dragon Palace.
You must know that the bone-refining realm is already considered a master among mortals. Martial arts masters in the bone-refining realm can serve as deputy capital officers in the army. Ranks in the Tang Army are generally appointed based on a comprehensive review of military merit and martial arts.
The military ranks are captain, centurion, commander of thousands, deputy commander, commander, general and general. Each official position is generally divided by military merit and martial arts level. If the military merit is achieved but the martial arts is not enough, it will not be appointed.
Yes, you can only be appointed if you have achieved both.
The corps commander corresponds to the martial arts student, and so on, the general corresponds to the martial arts saint. Although it is extremely difficult to advance to the martial arts saint, the Tang Dynasty has a population of hundreds of millions, and there is no shortage of martial arts saints. You must know that in ancient times, martial arts saints traveled everywhere. And
At that time, Wusheng could only hold the position of deputy capital commander, and only Tianchong-level powerhouses could take up the post of general.
However, Li Chong misunderstood the strength of the Dragon Palace. The demon clan's body is naturally strong, and they will have a certain strength after a little practice. Unlike the human race, they must study hard and practice hard, and they also need to have excellent qualifications.
However, it becomes more difficult for the demon clan to grow in strength as they get older, unless they have profound cultivation methods. However, if the method is not passed down lightly, how many people can obtain the cultivation methods, so generally the demon tribes who do not have magic skills pay great attention to physical training.
.Although these Dongting soldiers also have some magical skills passed down from the Dragon Palace, they are too superficial and might as well seriously practice human martial arts.
The reason why there is a soldier who looks like a human is not to say that all the soldiers in the Dongting Dragon Palace are in human form. Only after the monsters have reached the realm of bone refining, and under the stimulation of certain secret techniques, can they gradually transform.
In fact, Li Chong didn't want to think about the people who needed to knock the orange tree. Aren't they just mortals? Why do monks need to go to such trouble? He can just go down to the Dragon Palace.
We are here to receive mortals and deal with mortal matters. Why would we send a monster with a hideous face?
Seeing this monster bossing around, Li Chong was not annoyed. He probably came into contact with a lot of mortals, and none of those mortals dared to be disrespectful to the Dragon Palace guards, so he gradually developed this habit.
Looking at the guard Li Chong said calmly.
"I have been entrusted by the princess of the dragon tribe to come to Dongting to deliver a message. I have something important to report to the dragon king. Please tell the messenger on my behalf."
"Hmph, Wu Na mortal, who are you? How dare you lie to be a princess and deliver a message. The princess of our clan has already married to the Jinghe Dragon Palace. How can you, a little mortal, see this? You still want to see the Dragon King of my clan, why don't you give it to me now?
Go away and don't delay the uncle's business, otherwise I will charge you with false accusations and false reports."
Hearing Li Chong's words, the Langtou soldiers were furious. A little mortal dared to come here to cheat in the name of a princess. He also wanted to see the Dragon King. Damn it, I haven't seen the princess yet! If it hadn't been for the Dragon King's explanation.
You can't hurt mortals casually. I would have rushed up to beat this girl wildly.
I heard that the princess has a peerless appearance and is the most famous beauty in the water tribe. No mortal will see this girl. This guy must be crazy about the treasure of the Dragon Palace!
There are always some mortals trying to enter the Dragon Palace to obtain treasures. They really regard the Dragon Palace as their own home.
The soldiers on Langtou maliciously speculated on Li Chong.
Hearing the soldier's words, Li Chong's expression turned cold. His humility was regarded as weak by this guy. Since he was promoted to Martial Saint, his body has gradually returned to its original state, and Li Chong deliberately restrained his vitality. In appearance, he is a
Just like ordinary scholars.
But the dignity of a martial arts saint is not something that this little soldier can trample on casually.
"Hmph, I came here with a letter written by the princess of the dragon tribe. If I miss something important, how can you, a little soldier, take care of it? Whether it is true or not, you will know after meeting the Dragon King. How can I allow you, a little soldier, to overstep my authority? The whole world
This world belongs to me, the Tang Dynasty. How can it be that you, a small Shui tribe, can punish the crime as soon as it is punished? Report it to the Dragon King quickly, and maybe you can get a reward. Otherwise, you will miss the princess.
When the time comes, I’m afraid you, a soldier, won’t be able to handle it.”
Looking at the soldiers on the wave, he retorted sternly, saying that he didn't have time to accompany a soldier in vain, as he was about to cut off the knot.
Although Li Chong's words contained a hint of threat, they also named powerful connections.
If the soldier's mind was still somewhat clear, he would have thought about it and would not act as arrogantly as before.
Villains are like ghosts. The more humble they are, the more they will be bullied as weak. Only by drinking them head-on and using the power of tit-for-tat can the villain be restrained.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, the soldiers on the wave looked a little wary, and they were no longer as domineering and arrogant as before. However, after serving here for more than ten years, all mortals have always been afraid of themselves, but today they were
I was shocked by this little scholar, and I felt angry, but I didn't dare not believe what this scholar said.
The Dragon King has always loved human things and highly respected human culture, otherwise he would not have allowed himself to transform into a human being and be responsible for receiving mortals here.
But today is really unlucky. I didn’t expect that I would receive a stinky scholar today. These guys will talk nonsense and have a tough temper. I don’t know why the Dragon King likes it. It’s a small thing to stop the arrogance on my own. Once what this scholar said is true
, it would be a death penalty to miss an important event for the princess.
But if this guy is an imposter and deliberately approaches the Dragon King for the sake of the Dragon clan's treasures, these things have not happened before.
For a time, the soldier was in a dilemma.
"Yes or no, don't delay, decide quickly."
Seeing this soldier fighting with heaven and man, Li Chong didn't want to waste time with him here, so he shouted loudly.
Seeing Li Chong yelling at him, the soldier was furious, and his original fear was overwhelmed by his anger. He was a monster and was afraid of the Dragon King and the princess, but he was not afraid of a little ordinary person.
"Hmph, you are just a helpless scholar. You dare to scold your uncle like this. You are seeking death. I don't care about you. You really think you are a green onion. I can't hold my finger.
I can crush you to death with my head."
The soldier on the wave pointed at Li Chong and cursed angrily. If it hadn't been for the order of the Dragon King, he would have gone up to beat this stinking scholar.
Looking at the soldiers on the wave, Li Chong was no longer angry. He was a mighty martial artist competing with a small soldier, and it seemed that he was not brave enough. But it was one thing not to be angry. It was not enough to be pointed at the nose and scolded.
It's not Li Chong's character to resist.
Looking at the soldiers on the shore, he snorted coldly. With a slight movement of his fingers, a streak of energy passed through.
"Bang."
The powerful force instantly hit the waves, piercing through the fish scale armor worn by the soldiers, and instantly knocked this monster, who was a master in martial arts at the bone refining stage, away and fell into the water suddenly.
This is the Martial Saint. There is no such thing as a Martial Saint who can be called a saint in martial arts today.
"Hmph, the fourth broken path - white thunder." Li Chong snorted lightly, it is not that simple to teach him a lesson. With another finger in his hand, a white thunder light instantly struck, hitting the soldiers who were sent flying.
In this water, the lightning will cause this little soldier to suffer a lot.
This was because Li Chong had no intention of killing him, he just wanted to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, with a little more strength and some powerful ghost ways, he could easily kill this monster in the bone refining realm.
"Who is it? Who attacked me? Come out."
The soldier who was knocked into the water by Li Chong's blow, his whole body was blackened, and he crawled out in a state of embarrassment. He looked around and roared angrily, trying to find who had knocked him down.
Although Li Chong was the only one in front of him, he didn't think that a weak scholar could easily knock him down.
Ignoring the roaring soldiers, although I felt relieved, the letter still had to be delivered. Do I have to expose my strength and go to the Dragon Palace in person? But I'm afraid it would cause complications at that time. But if it really doesn't work, that's the only way.
Just as Li rushed towards the countermeasures, a loud sound suddenly echoed across the lake, and the calm scene suddenly turned into huge waves, and huge wind waves roared and surged with the huge lake water.
Gradually, countless waves appeared on the lake, and on each wave appeared countless soldiers holding spears and wearing scale armor. These soldiers were all human-shaped, arranged neatly, as if they were welcoming someone.
Seeing this situation, the original soldier immediately calmed down and didn't even dare to make a sound.
At this time, Li Chong became curious as to who actually made the Dragon Palace put up such a big battle.
"Lin Jia, who is this person? Let him leave quickly."
Just as Li Chong was thinking about it, an old man wearing a tortoise's back appeared in the water and yelled at the charred soldiers.
"My lord, I have been entrusted by the Princess of the Dragon Clan to come to Dongting to deliver a letter. I have something important to report to the Dragon King. This is a letter from the Princess."
Seeing this old man dressed like a Turtle Immortal, Li Chong knew without guessing that he was the famous Turtle Prime Minister. He immediately pointed out the meaning and sent the letter without any hesitation. This Turtle Prime Minister had a very high status in the Dragon Palace.
It's big, and giving it away can be regarded as fulfilling a promise.
"What, the princess's letter, is this true?"
Prime Minister Turtle was instantly shocked. He received the letter in his hand and his expression condensed. He was sure that it was written by the princess. People from the Dragon Clan have their own secret methods to check it, so they are not afraid of any lies.
Regarding the princess's marriage to Jinghe, he also knew something, which was a big secret related to the Dragon Clan. Now that the princess has dragged a mortal all the way to deliver the message, she must have encountered some great danger. Could it be that she was discovered by the Jinghe Dragon Clan.
For a moment, Prime Minister Gui quickly speculated in his mind. He wanted to return to the Dragon Palace quickly to report to the Dragon King. However, things were of a priority, and the people who needed to be greeted next could not be neglected.
Thinking of this, Guicheng said calmly to Li Chong.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, but this young master is temporarily staying in the Dragon Palace. I need to ask the young master about this matter later. After this matter is over, I will report to the Dragon King and I will be rewarded."
Lao Gui's words were extremely appropriate, but with a commanding tone and an unquestionable look. They were full of the bossy of a superior to a subordinate.
Without waiting for Li Chong's consent, he faced the soldiers who had just scolded him.
"Lin Jia, you take this young master to the Dragon Palace. I will be there later."
After saying that, he didn't even look at Li Chong and waved towards the two of them. Prime Minister Gu didn't care much about Li Chong. Such mortals only need to give some belongings when the time comes, and there is no need to attach too much importance to them.
"Here, this is a water-proof bead. I didn't expect what you said to be true. Now you have really made a fortune in one step."
After hearing the words, the soldier named Lin Jia immediately stepped forward and threw a bead to Li Chong regardless of Li Chong's reaction.
Looking at Li Chong, Ling Jia's tone was filled with a trace of jealousy and a trace of regret. If he could listen to this guy, he would have made a contribution now.
Seeing Prime Minister Turtle's demeanor and actions, Li Chong looked slightly angry. He wanted to leave immediately after delivering the letter, but he didn't expect that the old turtle would make the decision for him. He didn't ask whether he agreed or not, and just ordered him directly.
And this guy named Lin Jia actually dealt with him so casually. These people really treated him like a soft persimmon.
He was slightly angry in his heart, but he did not resist. He wanted to see how the Dragon Palace would deal with his benefactor, the Dragon Princess.
Holding the water-proof beads, he followed the scale armor and walked into the Dragon Palace.
At this time, suddenly a fire cloud flew from the sky, and the huge fire cloud dyed the entire sky into fiery red.
The fire cloud stopped by the Dongting Lake, and an old Taoist priest wearing a fiery red robe, with a ruddy complexion and a long beard walked out of the cloud.
When the old Taoist priest came down, the huge fire cloud instantly turned into a robe and was draped on the old Taoist priest. It set off the old Taoist priest's unique power.
At this time, Prime Minister Turtle and others immediately stepped forward to greet him.
Looking at the old Taoist priest, Li Chong's heart moved slightly. This old Taoist priest turned out to be an immortal in the realm of ghosts and immortals. The reason why Li Chong was moved was that this guy turned out to be an escaped spirit. This was the first time Li Chong saw it.
The spirit of human monks is a ghost fairy that has left the body. Although the tree demon that we saw last time was also a ghost fairy monk, the spirit of the tree demon only glanced at it briefly and did not pay attention to the environment at that time. Today, we can actually observe a
The soul of ghosts and immortals. No matter what, this is a genuine immortal.
Ghosts and immortals are immortals, but only their souls can become immortals, and their physical bodies cannot transcend. Only after passing through the human-immortal tribulation can both their physical bodies and souls become immortals.
For ghosts and immortals, the physical body is also extremely important. Once the physical body is lost, you can only stay in the realm of ghosts and immortals for the rest of your life.
Therefore, when some ghosts and immortals go out, they will hide their physical bodies and fly away with their souls.
Except for ghost cultivators, they have no physical body and can only reach the realm of ghost immortals in their lifetime, unless they survive the ninety-nine tribulations and achieve pure yang.
Just when Li Chong was looking at the ghost fairy, the Taoist priest who came down from the fire cloud also noticed Li Chong's gaze. Following his gaze, he suddenly realized that the person looking at him was a little mortal, but he didn't have any respect, but instead had a trace of respect.
Appreciating and curious. I felt angry and couldn't help but snorted.
"How dare a little mortal dare to look directly at himself like this, seeking death."
With the cold snort, a huge pressure instantly pressed on Li Chong.
Feeling this strong pressure, Li Chong was furious. This was a monk who regarded mortals as ants, and he attacked a mortal for no reason. If Li Chong was really a mortal, this move would kill half of Li Chong's life.
Looking at the old Taoist priest, Li Chong sneered at the corner of his mouth, quickly restrained his energy and blood, and pretended to look pale. I want to see what this ghost, immortal, and dragon palace will do to me.
Seeing the actions of the old Taoist priest, Prime Minister Turtle did not stop him. Anyway, as long as the man did not die, it was fine. There was no need to offend a ghost and immortal for this man.
Without even looking at Li Chong, who was shaking and pale, he scolded the scales.
"Take it down."
"Boy, are you okay? Let's go. He's just a stinky old man with a bad nose. What's so cool about him? Humph."
Lin Jia on the side did not gloat about the misfortune this time, but became concerned.
This made Li Chong couldn't help but look at the soldiers, and his view of the monster had improved somewhat. The monster was not evil-minded, but had a bad temper and had developed some bad habits.
"It turns out that this old Taoist priest's name is Huo Yun."
I remembered this name in my heart and followed Lin Jia towards the Dragon Palace.
