Charles had a long dream.
In the dream, he was in a sea of flames. He had never been afraid of fire, but this fire was different. It was so hot that he wanted to scream, but it was not just pain. The fire touched his body, burning inch by inch, from Throat to tailbone, the burning dragon whimpered and trembled, wanting to run away anxiously.
But after savoring it carefully, the fire made him feel faintly comfortable again. In this dark and narrow world, it seemed that only his own breath was left.
Xiaolong walked into the fire unconsciously, and while struggling in pain, he suddenly felt a bit of coolness approaching.
Spring water from nowhere flowed over him and restrained the menacing fire, and he felt better, crazy. He clung to the spring water, as if he wanted to embed himself in the water.
The water flow was far away, and seeing the fire burning on his body again made him unable to breathe, Xiaolong hugged the cold water flow tightly against him aggrievedly, the water flow passed through all parts of his body, it really made him feel much better , can't help but indulge in it.
Faintly, Charles seemed to hear someone calling his name, and he wanted to listen carefully, but the voice was still indistinct.
Xiaolong's thoughts were fuzzy, and he didn't know where he was at the moment, but he still subconsciously called out tentatively: "Jiang Yan..."
The child's voice was too soft, with a waxy nasal sound, and the other party seemed to say something, but Xiaolong felt extremely wronged, and threw himself into the water, muttering: "It's so uncomfortable."
There was no sound from that side, only the current of water enveloping Xiaolong completely engulfed him.
Between nothingness, water and fire blend together.
The little dragon lay on the surface of the mirror-like water, struggling to get rid of the fire, and was finally dragged into the bottom by the unknown monster, sinking slowly...
…
There is no sun and moon in Huangquan. When Xiaolong woke up drowsily, it was still dark outside the window.
He was being held in Jiang Wuyi's arms right now, but when he opened his eyes, he realized that something was wrong, something was poking on the soft flesh around his waist.
Xiaolong blinked blankly, and immediately rolled around twice with the quilt in his arms, but he didn't expect that he was indeed sleeping on the outside of the bed today, so he rolled directly onto the bed.
The kid yelled "Hey yo", and when he looked up, he saw that Jiang Wuyi had also woken up, lying on the edge of the bed slowly and looking at himself, and he didn't know why, he seemed unhappy.
When Jiang Wuyi saw his reaction, he stared straight at him, and just lay down beside the bed and hummed softly.
Lord Dragon God was very dissatisfied with Xiao Zai Zai's resistance. After serving the child all night, he was disgusted again, and his heart became even more unbalanced, so he didn't ask him if it hurt from the fall, and didn't get up to check, but snorted again, stretched out his hand Pulling the quilt back on the bed, turned over and wrapped himself up.
Xiao Zaizai had no choice but to get up from the ground, feel his empty stomach, jump on the bed to act shamelessly, and lay down next to Jiang Wuyi's ear and shouted loudly: "Jiang Yan—don't sleep! I'm hungry!"
He quickly forgot what happened just now, and only focused on his growling stomach, Jiang Wuyi finally frowned, and touched the small face of the little dragon cub.
"Tell me to sleep a little longer."
Xiaolong Zaizai looked at him incredulously, "Jiang Yan, you are lying in bed again."
Lord Dragon God was dissatisfied: "Why?"
Seeing that he finally showed his face, Xiaolong sat on him and counted: "You have often stayed in bed recently, many times, but I have woken up, so don't sleep anymore, let's go find something to eat, shall we?" Ah, Jiang Yan~Jiang Yan..."
Jiang Wu couldn't resist the child's coquettishness. He stretched out his arms to hug the child's back and sat up, and the two immediately turned into a face-to-face posture.
He sighed softly, turned his eyes around the slightly swollen cherry lips, tore them apart abruptly, endured and restrained, and kissed the child's forehead restrainedly.
"Good morning."
Xiaolong was hugged and kissed, and blushed for a moment. After thinking about it, he held Jiang Wuyi's face and kissed back, saying: "Good morning, although I don't think it's morning anymore."
The resentment that Lord Dragon God had accumulated all night was finally calmed down by this light kiss, and he felt the familiar fire rushing up again, he stretched out his hand and hugged the child aside, got up to wash up.
Xiaolong is much more sensible than before. Before Jiang Wuyi came back, he tried his best to change clothes by himself. However, after changing the nightgown, Xiaolong looked down at his white and tender belly, but suddenly let out a sigh. A purple mark suddenly appeared on the surface.
The child rubbed it with his fingertips suspiciously, but the red marks did not disappear. When he looked up in the mirror, he found that there were more than one red marks on his waist, abdomen, legs, neck and arms. When he turned around, he even found red marks on his shoulders. Yes, his skin was already white and glowing, so these marks were particularly conspicuous.
Xiaolong Zizai exclaimed, and before he could put on his clothes, he ran to Jiang Wuyi, dragged him and asked, "Jiang Yan, look quickly, there are so many red dots on my body!"
Before Jiang Wuyi took care of himself properly, he raised his eyes and saw the child pulling him unknit, and immediately held his breath, but his eyes fell on the delicate body involuntarily.
Mottled, mottled, bright red brand marks instantly pierced into his mind, and the scorching panting of last night and the soft voice of the child calling his name also came overwhelmingly.
"Cub, get dressed."
Jiang Wuyi blinked suddenly, and casually put the outer robe that he hadn't had time to put on on him.
But Xiaolong struggled anxiously, opened his clothes and showed him the red marks on his body: "No, look at me quickly, what's going on?"
Xiaolong Zaizai felt wronged: "I didn't have any yesterday."
Jiang Wuyi felt a surge of hot blood rushing to his face, and quickly put his clothes back together: "Maybe... it's a bug."
Xiaolong was amazed: "There are still bugs here?"
Still a bug that dares to bite a dragon!
Jiang Wuyi could only lie and nod: "Yes."
Xiaolong blinked, feeling that his body was starting to itch, and looked at Jiang Wuyi worriedly: "Then have you been bitten?"
As he said that, he was about to reach out to pick off Jiang Wuyi's clothes, but Jiang Wuyi immediately circled him and patted the child on the back: "No, insects dare not bite me."
Xiaolong was instantly annoyed, thinking that Chongchong was really bullying.
But Jiang Wu lowered his eyes again and again, and suddenly felt that it was not a wise choice to put the robe on the child.
The child had long legs and a slender waist. He was barefoot at this time, and was covered by the robe, revealing two straight and white legs. The back of the robe hung down on the child's slender ankles...
Jiang Wuyi felt that he was possessed by a demon, and he actually had an evil idea of wanting the child to wear his own clothes like this all the time.
Fleeing.
Jiang Wuyi could only use this word to describe himself, Lord Dragon God left Xiaolong and his outer robe and walked out, saying stiffly, "Put on your clothes, I'll find something to eat for you."
Xiaolong felt that he looked strange, hugged Jiang Wuyi's robe and pulled it closer, puzzled, then turned to change clothes.
When he finally dawdled and put on his clothes, Jiang Wuyi and Shen Sansi were already sitting at the table in the courtyard, both in a daze.
Xiaolong Zizai stretched out his hand and shook in front of the two of them: "Hey, wake up!"
Only then did the two come back to their senses. Jiang Wu glanced at him, and quickly shifted his gaze to the food in front of him: "Sit down and eat."
Shen Sansi also woke up, holding his chopsticks but he dared not speak. After getting along with each other for a few days, he felt a little more relaxed, but now he was back on the stove, and he didn't even dare to take a second look.
Shen Sansi hated, hated himself for having a smart head.
As a human being, you really can't be too smart.
Otherwise, I don't even feel at ease to eat.
But Jiang Wuyi didn't put down his chopsticks much, only Xiao Zai Zai was eating happily, holding a small red fruit and putting it into his mouth.
This fruit was found from Granny Meng, and it is a delicacy that cannot be tasted in the world. Quietly test the tip of the protruding tongue.
Jiang Wuyi knew very well that the taste of these lips was ten thousand times sweeter than fruit.
Children are always not good at eating, and want to play even if they bite into a fruit. Jiang Wuyi moved his Adam's apple, and dared not look at it any more. He tapped on the table and said, "Eat well."
Xiaolong swallowed the fruit in one gulp, remembered something, and asked Shen Sansi inarticulately: "Has Li been bitten by Honghong?"
Seeing Shen Sansi's confused face, Xiaolong swallowed the fruit and asked again: "I'm asking you, did you get bitten by insects yesterday?"
Shen Sansi shook his head: "Cong Chong? Where did the worms come from in this Nine Nether Yellow Springs?"
Xiaolong felt strange, and was about to continue to ask, but saw Po Meng slowly coming from the yard, smiling kindly, and when Shen Sansi saw her coming, he quickly ate a few mouthfuls, and went back to the house to avoid suspicion.
He didn't want to hear anything more deadly.
Xiaolong hugged a piece of biscuit to eat, looked at the direction of Shen Sansi, looked at Po Meng, always felt that Shen Sansi seemed to be very scared, and finally looked at Jiang Wuyi, tentatively asking: "Should I... want to go in too?"
Jiang Wuyi suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and said softly, "No need."
Xiaolong began to eat with peace of mind, and Po Meng's eyes changed slightly, looking back and forth between the two with great interest.
It wasn't until Jiang Wuyi gave her a warning look that Po Meng withdrew her eyes and said calmly, "My lord is out of Dragon Valley now, what's your plan?"
Xiao Zai Zai quietly raised his ears, and listened to Jiang Wu: "What to do, what to do."
Granny Meng smiled lightly: "I'm a talkative old man, adults can think about it freely."
Jiang Wuyi saw that Xiaolong stretched out his chopsticks to hold the small ball with great effort, and tried several times without success, so he immediately reached out to help, Xiao Zai Zai raised his chin very naturally: "I still want to eat that sweet bean."
Jiang Wuyi did his best to prepare vegetables for him, so that Xiaolong could eat a good meal, so he ate with a small bowl and a spoon.
Granny Meng watched quietly, and couldn't help sighing: "I'm old and blind, I don't know that you are gentle and considerate, but I don't know that now, you can be ruthless and ask this world to change its master."
Jiang Wudao: "Naturally."
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and asked, "Are you afraid?"
Meng Po said slowly: "I have lived a long time, what is there to be afraid of? If my lord can really become the master of this world, I will naturally not be trapped in this ghost and be unable to escape from being outside the six realms. It's a joy."
Xiaolong couldn't help raising his head and asked, "Sister, have you been here for a long time?"
Po Meng didn't expect that anyone would call her sister now, and said with a smile, "Yes."
"How long has it been?"
"It's been a long time, so long that I can't even remember."
Meng Po's tone seemed to be sighing, but she was very calm. She spoke very slowly and sounded a little ghostly, but she looked like a kind woman. Xiaolong was a little scared when she heard her talking, but look at her His face felt close again, extremely tangled.
Charles thought Granny Meng would say something else, but she was like a neighbor who lived next door visiting. After saying these few words, she got up and left, this time without even saying goodbye.
Seeing Xiao Longyan eagerly looking at the direction where Po Meng disappeared, Jiang Wuyi knocked on the bowl appetizingly: "It's going to be completely cold."
Only then did Xiao Zai Zai regain his senses, and lowered his voice to ask, "She said that you want to be the master of the world."
Jiang Wuyi looked up at him: "How do you feel?"
Xiao Zai Zai thought about it carefully, and felt that he seemed to be doing a dangerous and great event with Jiang Yan, so he took a breath: "Jiang Yan, what exactly do you want to do after you get back the dragon scales and dragon balls?" ?”
Jiang Wuyi pursed his lips, hesitated and did not speak.
Xiaolong asked: "Just tell me!"
Jiang Wu touched his horns a little: "It's something children can't know."
Xiao Zai Zai was discouraged, poked a ball vigorously, bit into the air and chewed.
Jiang Yan has his own little secret, which makes Longlong inexplicably unhappy.
But he is a sensible little dragon, and he would never force Jiang Yan to tell him, so Xiaolong thought about it and decided that he should have a little secret, and he would not tell Jiang Yan either.
But it seems that Jiang Yan knows almost everything about him, where can I find the little secret
Xiaolong was full of food after thinking about it, rubbed his stomach, always felt a little uncomfortable, looked sideways at Jiang Wuyi, and felt that he didn't want to talk to him, so he got into Shen Sansi's room, thinking about the little secret.
Shen Sansi was still trembling with sincerity, and after thinking for a long time, he choked out a sentence: "What do you want?"
"Little secret!"
Xiaolong lowered his voice: "You can't tell Jiang Yan that."
Shen Sansi felt a chill in his neck: "Young master, living father, ancestor! What little secret do you want, what secret can be hidden with Mr. Jiang, and you don't even think about your..."
brain.
Shen Sansi didn't dare to say the last two words, and tried to calmly say: "In short, Mr. Jiang is not easy to deceive, you still have fun, eat and drink as you should, and just live happily."
Xiaolong was unhappy: "Are you looking down on me?"
Shen Sansi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Where is it? Absolutely not. How dare I look down on you."
He said this, but what he thought in his heart was: I am afraid that if I admit it, you will cry and I will be covered in tears and snot, and the evil star outside will see it, so you must not directly shoot me to death.
Xiaolong obviously didn't believe him, just when he was about to speak, his lips always felt a little sore, and somehow he remembered the red dots on his body, so he called Shen Sansi: "Yes, do you still have those medicines, I was bitten by insects last night, Bitten a lot of red dots."
Shen Sansi just remembered this, and said strangely: "It shouldn't be, where did the insects come from on the Santu River
However, when Xiaolong showed him the red dots on his collarbone and neck, Shen Sansi was still puzzled at first, wondering if there really were bugs? As a result, after taking a closer look, his face instantly turned pale.
Hold…
These eyes are really unacceptable.
Shen Sansi looked at Xiaolong in horror and confusion for a while, and then turned out the way the two got along and savored it carefully.
And this taste leads to incredible guesses.
This Jiang Wuyi is clearly... clearly...
Beast!
Shen Sansi immediately looked away, not daring to look any further, just said in a nutshell: "You're fine, you're fine, you don't need to apply medicine..."
Xiaolong wondered, "Are you reluctant to give me the medicine?"
Shen Sansi sighed: "Really not, this is an ordinary bug, you see Mr. Jiang didn't care about it, did you? If it is really something powerful, Mr. Jiang must be extremely nervous, how could he let you out so easily."
Xiao Zai Zai thought the same, so he became worried again: "Then what little secret should I hide behind Jiang Yan's back?"
Shen Sansi was helpless, he could only watch him tossing and tossing about, digesting the turbulent waves in his heart.
When the three left from Huangquan, it was already midnight outside.
The sound of insects in the valley was clear, Xiaolong thought of being bitten all over his body, and began to hate the sound of insects. Seeing a black insect crawling under his feet, he immediately jumped on Jiang Wuyi.
"Jiang Yan, there are worms!"
The black worms on the ground were also taken aback by him. They never imagined that their own family would bear such a scapegoat. They slashed their claws a few times and fled quickly. Jiang Yan couldn't help but curl his lips, letting the child lie on his neck on the shoulders.
After walking a few steps, several people saw a tall and straight figure. When they took a closer look, it was Qi Yan who was casting a spell on the crack, looking as if he wanted to pull Huang Quan out of the opening.
But he didn't know how long he had been trying to be a mortal child, and he was already sweating profusely, and his spiritual power was showing signs of being overdrawn.
Shen Sansi let out an ouch, hurriedly stepped forward to support his body, and sighed: "Sure enough, adults still value friendship."
Seeing that several people had returned safely, Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and said, "I am incompetent."
But Jiang Wuyi clearly saw that Qi Yan was not an incompetent person. He had clearly pulled out a loophole in the Underworld by his own strength, which made it easy for them to come out. He said in relief: "My lord has already helped Busy, don't underestimate yourself."
However, Qi Yan's expression was still not good, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he didn't know what he thought of.
Xiaolong blinked at him, but suddenly remembered that it was in an illusion, Qi Yan walked away with a dead body in the heavy rain, and always felt that Qi Yan seemed to be extremely harsh on himself, with a madness in his bones.
It wasn't until they returned to the gate of the ghost city and saw a few figures that Xiaolong jumped to the ground.
Children's self-esteem is also very important.
The person guarding the door was Yizhuang disciple who was stepped on by Shen Sansi yesterday. The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the three of them: "Fortunately, you are all fine, follow me back to the village, there are important matters."
Except for Qi Yan and Han Yue's insistence, no one actually thought that the three of them could come back. From the man's mouth, several people learned that Qi Yan had guarded the gap for a day and a night.
Qi Yan has always disliked others chewing his tongue, so with a flip of the iron sword, the man stopped talking and started talking about major events in the village.
At that time, Xiaolong fell into the entrance of the rift, but it was not an accident, but was killed by someone!
All the people present saw clearly that the perpetrator was actually Liao Chengyin!
As soon as this incident happened, Liao Chengyin wanted to flee immediately, but at that time Sect Master Liao and Sect Master Huang were all present, not to mention Qi Yan and Han Yue were also there, and Liao Chengyin was quickly arrested. Now that he has been interrogated several times, It is under pressure in the dungeon of Yizhuang.
This was a major event, Sect Master Liao was so angry that his eyes darkened immediately, and he passed out. Master Huang and Han Yue detained him for interrogation.
Liao Chengyin seemed to feel that he had no hope of escaping, so he sighed softly, brought out everything in one breath, and brought up a series of big things again.
It turned out that the person who planned this behind the scenes was actually Old General Xiao who was stationed in Lecheng. Old General Xiao colluded with Tian Mo Dao.
But Liao Chengyin was not the one who set up an formation in the Demon Suppressing Pagoda of Mingyu Xianzong, he just happened to see it, released the water, and reached some agreements with the General's Mansion.
He explained the setting up of the formation in detail, including the time and place, but everyone couldn't figure out the content of the agreement.
Sect Master Liao woke up again, pointed to his nose and asked him, "Is Xiao Jue related to this matter?"
Liao Chengyin tilted his head, still smiling calmly: "Second Junior Brother...but he is a complete fool, so cute."
The Xiao family has a large population, but the old general Xiao and Xiao Jue's grandfather are really not in the same line. Speaking of which, the old general Xiao was originally the concubine of the Xiao family, and he turned himself over after making great contributions.
But he was unpredictable, he didn't separate his family from life to life, he just lived in such a large compound, and on the day Xiao Jue's grandfather died, he would have to overwhelm him.
However, Old General Xiao has no heirs. He is alone in the big courtyard, and the child he loves the most is Xiao Jue, so now Liao Chengyin said that Xiao Jue didn't know, and whether Old General Xiao was out of precaution or pampered, it would be fine. sense.
Now there are three apprentices, one is colluding with thieves, the other is running away with evil spirits. Sect Master Liao is suffocating with heartache, and finally saved one Xiao Jue, but Xiao Jue yelled excitedly that he let Xiao's family set up an array, regardless of Liao Chengyin. thing.
Sect Master Liao was the first and the second eldest, but Liao Chengyin laughed and said, "That's Xiao Jue, let me go."
When he said this, no one believed it. It was useless for Ren Xiaojue to jump up and down, but in the end he was knocked out with a stick by Sect Master Liao, dragged him back to the house, and scolded him for making trouble.
This is really a big show, but Xiaolong is puzzled: "Why doesn't everyone believe in Liao Chengyin?"
Qi Yan frowned: "Liao Chengyin... this person has a cold temperament and has always been cunning. In the whole of southern Chu, there are countless people who have been deceived by him. All the major families dare not speak out because of their status."
"But Xiao Jue is different. Although he looks unruly now, his mind is pure. He can indeed take the blame for senior brother."
"Besides, Han Yue also went back to the Mingyu Immortal Sect to prove the details that Liao Chengyin said, and there is indeed no mistake."
But when Xiaolong thought about the person who said to him with a smile, 'everything is equal in this world', he always felt that he would never do such a thing.
However, human minds are too complicated for Xiaolong Zaizai to figure out, so he asked curiously: "But old general Xiao is quite old, so why bother to collude with the Heavenly Demon Dao to set up such a dangerous situation?" What about the formation of people?"
Qi Yan looked coldly into the distance: "We still have to let him tell us about this."
Jiang Wuyi raised his hand to create half a dragon scale, and said softly to Xiao Long: "The remaining half dragon scale happens to be in the general's mansion now, if you are curious, let's ask."
At this moment, the Lecheng General's Mansion was surrounded by layers of iron cavalry, and it was impossible to get through.
A soft sedan chair stood still outside the general's mansion, and the wreaths hanging on the edge jingled in the wind, adding a chilling meaning to this bleak scene.
