Chapter 190: The Nine Heavens Exiled Dragon Guarding the Dragon Tomb
The stone house suddenly fell down, and Lingxiang shouted and chanted the art of staying calm, but everyone was still in a state of panic and could not hear clearly. Even Xinyi, who had the highest level of cultivation, was unable to use his skills for a while because he lost his composure.
Fortunately, after a while, the stone house's downward momentum slowed down, and the group of people landed safely.
Banxia was confused from beginning to end, and after this fright, she was unable to recover for a long time. She sat there in a daze, still wondering how she got here from the ice cave.
However, Lingxiang was now anxious to heal Liu Xia's injuries, and was too busy to take care of her.
As soon as he felt at ease, he repeated the previous movements, twisting his fingers, pinching the seals, closing his eyes and chanting.
There was a flash of light between her fingers, and then streams of water flowed out from between her other fingers. However, the water did not fall to the ground, but wrapped up Liu Xia.
This situation was extremely strange. What was even stranger was that even though Liu Xia was wrapped in this water film, her clothes seemed to be dry and her chest and abdomen moved as usual.
Seeing this, Lingxiang couldn't help but marvel in her heart, the power of this Water Spirit Pearl was indeed extraordinary.
While sighing, Lingxiang did not dare to relax. After the spiritual energy of the Water Spirit Pearl in her hand gradually stabilized, she hurriedly reminded everyone not to take it lightly.
She just said a few more words. Everyone knew it naturally. Previous experiences had already demonstrated the power of the Long family's secret room. How could they dare to underestimate it?
Seeing the men on high alert, Lingxiang relaxed a little, but still a little worried, so she looked at Xinyi. Xinyi seemed to have a tacit understanding with her and actually looked back, then nodded slightly. Lingxiang then lowered her head and focused on treating Liu Xia's injuries.
It’s not that she looked down on Long Qi and the others, but among all the people present, only Xin Yi had the highest cultivation level. If something really happened, he was the only one she could rely on.
She hoped that she was just worrying too much, but the anxiety in her heart was even more intense, making it difficult for her to feel at ease.
The stone house stopped after a while, but it was closed on all sides. Just when everyone was at a loss, the stone wall behind them suddenly opened, revealing a pitch-black scene inside.
Long Qi and his men were holding their weapons, ready for battle, but at this moment a burst of laughter was heard, and then candles lit up all around.
"It's been so many years! Finally, someone has come down alive!"
The voice was old but full of energy, but in this situation, it sounded creepy.
Long Qi, Xin Yi, and Lu Ying exchanged bewildered glances, yet they remained guarded, their weapons tightly gripped, not moving a step. Zhao Wuyang, on the other hand, watched over Banxia while keeping a vigilant eye on the stone gate.
"Oh my, oh my, it's a group of little furry babies. What are you waiting for? Come in quickly!" He said this very urgently, as if he was extremely hungry.
The three of them still didn't dare to move. They just protected Lingxiang and the others behind them, holding their breath and staring intently.
Just when everyone was concentrating, a snake head suddenly popped out from the door, then slowly crawled to the door, stood with its neck straight, and looked at everyone in the stone house.
This snake was born strangely, with a white body, several feet long, a pointed head and dark eyes. It would stick out its tongue from time to time, and the tongue was also black.
It is not unusual to see a white snake, but this white snake is very thin despite its long body, and its head is much larger than its body. When people see it, they all worry whether the thin body can bear its weight.
What's even stranger is that this snake's tail is different from other snakes. It has thin whiskers, which makes it look like...
dragon!
Although Long Qi and the other two were surprised, they didn't dare to relax. At this time, the voice sounded again: "Ah! I have been guarding this place for many years, but this is the first time I have seen so many people coming in. It is really rare."
The three of them were even more surprised. There was only this strange snake in front of them, but the man seemed to be talking in front of them.
"Who is playing tricks in my Long family's secret room? Show up quickly!" Long Qi roared.
After a long while, the voice said, "As you can see, I am right in front of you, right?"
After hearing this, Long Qi and the other two looked at each other, and then couldn't help but burst out laughing - although the snake in front of them looked a little strange, it could not be associated with such an old voice in any way, it was really a bit inappropriate!
Seeing everyone like this, the snake twisted its body and suddenly jumped onto Long Qi, wrapping him tightly and making him unable to move at all.
Although the snake's body is slender, it is surprisingly strong.
Xinyi was shocked when he saw this. The snake moved so fast that he didn't even notice it. It seemed that it was not as easy to deal with as it seemed.
Just as Xinyi Liu Xia was about to take action, he heard the old voice again: "I was once a god, but I made some minor mistakes and was banished to this place. How dare you, little brat, be so disrespectful? You really need a lesson."
His skull gradually widened and his snake mouth opened wide, as if he wanted to swallow Long Qi.
At this moment, Lingxiang suddenly spoke, "A viper transforms into a Jiao after 500 years, and a Jiao transforms into a dragon after 1,000 years. Dragons often roar in the sky, spitting out clouds and mist, bringing rain and wind, and are considered ancient gods. However, among dragons, those with snake-like forms are called Chi, and they are also a species of dragon, but they do not look like you."
Liu Xia's frostbite had healed. Lingxiang put away his magic and stood up. "However, the Sea Mirage Heavenly Fragrance says: If a dragon goes beyond the sky, its claws will be taken away, its scales will be removed, its horns will be removed, and it will be banished to a place where yin gathers, where it will be punished and practiced. And this dragon is named..."
"Qiu Jie."
Hearing this, the white snake let go of Long Qi and twisted its body to crawl in front of Ling Xiang. It looked her up and down for a long time, and then said in a dark tone: "I didn't expect that a little girl at such a young age could know all this. She is quite capable."
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Qi raised his sword, the sword body was red, and chopped it down towards the white snake with all his strength.
The sword blade made a dull sound when it hit the ground, but the white snake was safe and sound. It was still coiled around the Seven Star Dragon Abyss and was not affected by the sword blade's spiritual energy at all.
"Oh? Qixing Longyuan! It seems you are a descendant of the Long family. What an unfilial descendant! You even dared to kill your ancestors. How unfilial!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Ancestor?
Could it be that this snake is the ancestor of the Long family?
The ancestor of the Long family was actually a snake?
Just as everyone was stunned, Banxia said stupidly, "Oh! So Long Qi is a snake monster!"
This was quite amusing, causing Lingxiang to burst out laughing. Long Qi wanted to turn around and refute, but when he saw Lingxiang's smile, he was stunned for a moment.
White Snake saw this action clearly. He coughed lightly and said, "This happened when I was still a celestial dragon. It was through this experience of descending to the mortal world that the descendants of the Dragon family came into being. Speaking of which, this sword was made of dragon bones."
No wonder the Seven Star Dragon Abyss has no effect on this long snake. So this is how it is.
"Then you...are you really an ancestor of the Long family?" Long Qi asked, his face full of disbelief.
Upon hearing this, the long snake twisted and swam down the Seven Star Dragon Abyss, complaining, "You have no respect for your elders! You should call me ancestor! Speaking of which, where is that kid Fei Yu? How did a bunch of you kids get in here?"
Hearing this question, Long Qi's eyes dimmed instantly - Long Feiyu, that was his father's name.
Seeing Long Qi's reaction, Lingxiang understood and quickly said, "It's not that I'm being nosy, but I have a doubt in my mind. I would like to ask for your guidance." Without waiting for the snake to reply, she continued, "Since you are the Ancient God Tianlong, you must be extremely powerful. What kind of fault did you commit to deserve such punishment?"
The dragon is originally the most yang, but was demoted to the most yin place. I think this must be a big mistake!
Upon hearing this, the long snake shrank back, then spit out its tongue and said quietly, "The little girl is really good at exposing people's scars! But there's nothing to be ashamed of. My name is Wuji, and I'm a disciple of the Nine Heavens Immortal Master in Gaohuangtian."
When the sky collapsed and the catastrophe struck, the goddess Nuwa could not bear the suffering of the living beings, so she forged a five-colored magic stone to repair the sky. Upon hearing the news, the goddess Tianfei ordered Wuji to ride her thunder chariot on the day the magic stone was completed to help Nuwa repair the leak in the sky.
However, Wu Ji missed the time because he was greedy for wine. Therefore, the goddess Tianfei came in person and transformed into Yinglong to help the goddess Nuwa fill the gap in the sky. She also helped her break the feet of the divine turtle to support the four poles, calm the floods, kill the beasts, connect yin and yang, and eliminate adverse air, so that all spirits could live in peace.
"This time it was indeed my fault. Afterwards, the Goddess of Heaven ordered that I be demoted to the mortal world, suffer disaster and repent, and never set foot in the High Emperor Heaven again." Wu Ji said, sighing heavily.
Zhao Wuyang was extremely curious when he heard this. He remembered that "Records of Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas" said that in ancient times, the disaster of leaking sky was caused by the water god Gonggong angrily hitting Mount Buzhou. In this case, Mount Buzhou was the pillar of heaven.
Is it true that there is a pillar of heaven in this world?
At this time, Lingxiang said, "Even if it is such a big mistake that Senior has suffered so much, it is really like this. No one else can be blamed."
If the ancient goddess Nuwa had failed to repair the leak in the sky, they would not be where they are today.
Wu Ji smiled upon hearing this and said, "You are quite good at talking about other things, little brat. I was just asking about Fei Yu, but you changed the subject to me. You are really naughty."
Lingxiang's face froze, and she looked at Long Qi worriedly. Long Qi sighed and said, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's all in the past." Then he told Long Qi the whole story of the disaster that the Long family had suffered that year.
After hearing what Long Qi said, Wu Ji sighed and said, "I didn't expect there would be such a disaster. I guess it's destiny. It's a pity for Fei Yu, as he originally had very good talent."
Wu Ji said, jumping onto Long Qi's shoulder and said, "So, you are Fei Yu's youngest son? I have heard him mention it before, but I have never seen him. Now that you are the only one left in the Long family, you are the head of the Long family. Since it is a secret room in the underground palace, do you have the token with you?"
Keepsake? What keepsake?
Long Qi was baffled, and Ling Xiang was also stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly reached into her arms: "Is the token you mentioned, this Coiled Dragon Jade?"
Wu Ji didn't expect that the Long family's token would be in Lingxiang's hand. He hurriedly went around to her arm and examined it carefully.
"This item was created by my divine power. Only members of the Long family can possess it. Why is it on you?"
Hearing this, Long Qi and Ling Xiangju blushed, but they couldn't explain it for a long time. Seeing this, Wu Ji's eyes suddenly flashed red, and then he laughed, but the laughter was hoarse and sounded a little strange.
That old fellow Ziwei, instead of being an emperor, actually learned to make red thread from Chai Daohuang. Unfortunately, his craftsmanship was not as good as anyone else's, and the red knot he tied was really ugly.
Wuji laughed, twisted his body and swam out of the stone house: "What are you doing here now?"
Lingxiang's original purpose for coming to the Long family was to obtain the Water Spirit Pearl. Now that the Water Spirit Pearl is in hand, there is really nothing else to worry about, but...
She looked up at Long Qi, only to see him hesitate for a moment before replying, "For the sword technique."
…
"Grandfather, are you really not going out with us?" Long Qi asked as he walked.
Wu Ji sighed deeply, "After all, your ancestor did make a mistake, so he had to die here. Without the forgiveness of the True Goddess Tianfei, how could he leave without permission?"
Lingxiang heard this and looked reluctant: "You came here in the ancient times, right? Thousands of years have passed now, and you've already been punished. It's not good to keep wasting time like this, right?"
Seeing her like this, Wu Ji laughed hoarsely and said, "You were teasing me just now, but now you feel sorry for me?"
"Of course I feel bad." Ling Xiang said as a matter of course: "Everyone makes mistakes. You can't just beat someone to death with a stick because of a momentary mistake and not even give them a chance."
"Oh my!" Wu Ji laughed, "You are a kind-hearted little girl. It's okay. I have been here for many years and have gotten used to it. Now that I am guarding my own underground palace, I feel quite at ease. There is no need to worry so much."
"But..." Lingxiang was about to speak, but suddenly stopped.
She was naturally worried. It was rumored that many dragons, unable to bear the long-term suffering, destroyed their own eyes, abandoned their nature, and transformed into dragons, causing trouble to the people.
If you become a dragon, you will be doomed and there will be no turning back!
Wu Ji seemed to see Ling Xiang's worry and smiled to comfort her, "I am different from those mediocre people. I still have the pride of being a dragon in my heart. Moreover, I am a disciple of the Ancestral Dragon. How can I be compared to those evil dragons?"
"Besides," Wu Ji said, and suddenly the secret room became bright as day, and rows of stone tablets were seen on the walls.
This is indeed the tomb of the Long family!
"With these descendants of later generations as my companions, how could I possibly fall into depravity?"
Although it was a tomb, people did not feel cold at all. Instead, they felt solemn and majestic.
Long Qi Lingxiang hesitated and wanted to say something, but Xinyi stopped him, saying, "Since Senior is so concerned about this, you don't have to worry too much. I think Senior has his own plans, so nothing will happen."
This kid from the old Lu family is quite good.
Wuji pondered, then raised his snake neck and spoke, "The journey ahead is extremely difficult. If you must go forward, you must be cautious. If you trust each other, you will surely be able to overcome all difficulties and dangers."
Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this. As soon as they all stepped into the stone house, Wu and Changwei nodded, and heard the stone door close with a "boom", and then everyone felt a sense of weightlessness again.
The stone house sank again!
Outside the stone house, after the rumbling sound could no longer be heard, Wu Ji finally sighed heavily:
"What a pity, we are not destined to be together..."
Never mind, let the children and grandchildren have their own blessings, let him be. It’s time to erect a monument for that kid Fei Yu!
