Chapter 425 Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?
Kuiniu and Tushan Yuhua did not avoid the crowd when they spoke, so when they heard Kuiniu's words, everyone pricked up their ears and stared at Tushan Yuhua curiously, their eyes full of inquiry.
Seeing Kuiniu taking the bait, Tushan Yuhua's smile became more gentle, but a sly look flashed in her eyes: "Of course, they are those great monsters like Daoist Fellow Kuiniu who once dominated the world in ancient times. For example, Bai Ze, Taotie, and... Yinglong."
"Yinglong?!"
Kuiniu's eyes widened, and he stomped his one foot so hard that the ground shook. "That bastard is still alive?!"
Tushan Yuhua nodded mysteriously: "Not only is he alive, but he is also sleeping deep in the depths of Ailao Mountain."
"impossible!"
Kuiniu shook his head, with a look of disbelief, "When the world changed drastically, Yinglong fought against the punishment of heaven in order to protect the destiny of the human race, and his soul has long been torn to pieces!"
"Well……"
Tushan Yuhua's mouth twitched slightly, and she cursed herself inwardly for bringing up something that was irrelevant.
He was born after Kuiniu and had limited knowledge of ancient things. He was just talking about it casually, but he almost got exposed.
Just when he didn't know how to explain, he suddenly heard Ao Jiu say, "Indeed, Yinglong almost died back then, but at the last moment, it sealed a wisp of its true spirit into the dragon ball and hid it in the dragon vein of Ailao Mountain. Now that the world is about to change, I believe it will soon break the seal and come out."
Tushan Yuhua was stunned.
He just said it casually, but he had no idea that Yinglong was really within the Ailao Mountain barrier.
Could this guy be making something up just to agree with what he said?
Looking at Ao Jiu, I saw that his eyes were slightly gloomy and there was a hint of sadness on his face.
Tushan Yuhua's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that what he said was right, and Yinglong still exists in Ailao Mountain?
This is such a coincidence.
Moreover, Yinglong was an ancient dragon god and had once been a general under the Yellow Emperor. He had made many contributions to him. He stayed in the human world only because he had a mutual affection with the goddess Ba. He did not expect that he would end up like this in the end.
However, if they go to seal Ailao Mountain, wouldn't they offend Yinglong?
Thinking of this, Tushan Yuhua couldn't help but look at Ao Jiu again.
After hearing Ao Jiu's explanation, Kuiniu was silent for a moment, and a complex look flashed in its eyes.
Kuiniu and Yinglong are both ancient mythical beasts. Originally, they had nothing to do with each other. One practiced in Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea, and the other was a general under Emperor Huangdi, fighting in battles for him.
As a result, one day, Yinglong fought a fierce battle with Chiyou and launched a massive flood to besiege Chiyou.
Chi You asked the God of Wind and the God of Rain for help. Yinglong's army was lost in the wind and rain and was almost wiped out.
At the critical moment, Huangdi heard that there was a Kuiniu in the East China Sea, which often patted its belly, making earth-shaking thunder. So he killed the Kuiniu, made a big drum with its skin, and beat it to break Chiyou's bitter wind and rain.
The Kuiniu killed by Huangdi was one of its elders.
It can be said that although the Kuiniu was not killed by Yinglong, there was some causal relationship between him and Yinglong.
That's why Kuiniu was so excited after hearing the news from Yinglong.
"You didn't lie to me?"
Kuiniu stared at Tushan Yuhua with suspicion in his tone.
Tushan Yuhua glanced at Ao Jiu again, and seeing that he looked calm, she smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, Daoist Kuiniu, you can just come with us. If it's fake, you can leave at any time; if it's true, don't you want to see your old friend?"
Kuiniu hesitated.
It pawed the ground restlessly with one foot, a puff of white air came out of its nose, and finally said in a muffled voice: "Okay! I'll go with you! But if you dare to lie to me, hmph!"
Tushan Yuhua smiled unchanged: "Of course not."
Huo Qinghuang listened for a long time and couldn't help asking Ao Jiu, "Are there really those monsters in Ailao Mountain that he said? Why do I feel like he is fooling Kuiniu?"
Ao Jiu shook his head and said calmly: "You will know when you go there."
Huo Qinghuang narrowed her eyes and didn't ask any more questions.
On the other hand, except Zhang Tianshi and Long Weihua, no one else knew Tushan Yuhua's true identity. Seeing Kuiniu being fooled by him with just a few words, they felt envious and jealous.
That is an ancient mythical beast!
If you can make friends with them, the benefits will be endless!
Xuanfeng Zhenren of the Jingming Sect could not help but take a step forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Senior Kuiniu, if you don't mind, my Sanqing Palace is willing to welcome you and show some hospitality..."
“No need!”
Kuiniu glared at him and interrupted him rudely: "I don't have time to play along with you humans!"
Wu Yunzi's face froze and he retreated awkwardly.
Upon seeing this, Yu Yan, the True Man of the Shenxiao Sect, did not dare to bring any more trouble and could only watch Huo Qinghuang and the others helplessly.
Long Weihua coughed lightly to break the awkwardness: "Everyone, although the black hole has been sealed now, we still need to strengthen our vigilance in the future to prevent any more accidents. Why don't we go back first and make a long-term plan?"
Everyone nodded, but their eyes kept glancing at Kuiniu, Huo Qinghuang and the others.
Huo Qinghuang didn't bother to pay attention to them, turned around and flew up.
"Let's go."
Seeing this, Ao Jiu immediately followed.
"Fellow Daoist Kuiniu, hurry up and follow me!"
Tushan Yuhua hurriedly urged Kuiniu.
Kuiniu snorted, kicked with one foot, and leaped up lightly with its huge body, following the three people.
Only when the four figures disappeared into the sky did the monks breathe a sigh of relief.
"Alas, what a pity..."
Master Yu Yan shook his head and sighed.
Their Shenxiao sect specializes in thunder magic. If Kuiniu joins them, or if they receive a few words of instruction from him, it will be equivalent to their decades of hard practice.
"What's a pity?"
Xuan Lingzi sneered: "How can a divine beast be so easy to cling to? Didn't you see that Kuiniu ignored us?"
"Humph, Tushan Yuhua is just a rising star, why should she..."
Someone murmured unconvinced.
Zhang Tianshi's mouth twitched slightly, and he interrupted quickly: "Everyone should stop talking nonsense and think more about how to deal with the aftermath!"
Only then did everyone stop talking in anger and disperse.
…
High in the sky, Kuiniu was flying while looking around, its eyes full of emotion.
"I didn't expect that the world would become like this..."
Tushan Yuhua smiled and said, "The world has changed over time. Fellow Daoist Kuiniu has been trapped for many years, and the outside world has already turned upside down."
Kuiniu sighed and suddenly asked, "By the way, what's the current situation of Yinglong that you just mentioned?"
Tushan Yuhua's eyes flickered slightly, and she continued to deceive: "To be honest, Senior Yinglong's true spirit should have awakened, but he was injured too badly and is extremely weak. Not only him, but the other seniors are the same.
Unfortunately, the barrier of Ailao Mountain is unstable. Once it is broken, the true spirits of these predecessors will probably disappear into thin air, so..."
Kuiniu stopped and stared with his eyes wide open: "So you tricked me into sealing the barrier? There is no big monster in Ailao Mountain, right?!"
