"You don't remember me? How could you not remember me!!!"
The roar stirred up a fishy wind that made the forest sway wildly. In the blue moonlight, a slender figure was winding, and a head as big as a rock opened its long mouth and was about to lower itself to bite down.
Yue Long was suspended in the air, the sword body bursting with magical light, and it fell down a bit. The old dragon that had originally pounced on it suddenly stopped and leaned back in fear.
At this time, the forest shook, and a woman in a black skirt with her hair tied up in a high bun, with the jade pendant on her bun ringing softly, flew through the woods with her long sleeves fluttering, her embroidered shoes fell to the ground, and she took two steps, kicking her skirt, and came behind Lu Liangsheng.
Under her dark eyebrows, her eyes were filled with cold light as she stared at the long body with scales on its belly standing up high in the moonlight. She flicked her long sleeves and said, "If you dare to touch this old demon, I will peel off your skin first!"
Mu Qiyu was originally in the bookshelf behind the old donkey in the camp. He felt the breath of a dragon and was afraid that the old monster was in danger, so he rode the magic wind and flew over here. With thousands of years of cultivation, even if he didn't remember the magic, he could still make the other party uncomfortable with a random attack.
Before Qi You could speak, Lu Liangsheng raised his hand to interrupt him, took a deep breath, and looked at the angry dragon. Sucking people's yang energy was one thing, but being with his master was another.
There may be other hidden secrets involved, and we must find out. If it is true as the old dragon said, then killing them indiscriminately is a very evil act.
But...how many bad karmas did Master create in the past
Withdrawing his thoughts with some distress, Lu Liangsheng raised his hands under the moonlight and said, "From your tone, it seems that you have a grudge against my master, but my master doesn't know you. If there is any hidden secret, you can tell me."
Over there, the long winding body twisted, and the sharp claws clinging to the rocks on the edge of the cliff excitedly caused a series of broken rocks to roll down the ravine. The old dragon twisted its upper body to look at the bright moon, closed its bright yellow vertical pupils, and lowered its voice, which sounded like the mooing of a cow.
"My dear, your master is incredible. My cultivation level back then is far from what it is now. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation, relying on attracting passers-by and secretly absorbing some Yang energy to stay alive."
Lu Liangsheng frowned. The other party's tone and expression did not seem false. Could it be that he had really been beaten by his master
Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at his master over his shoulder.
The Toad Taoist blinked his eyelids and spread his flippers innocently: "Look at what my master is doing? I really don't know."
Then, he put on his flippers, raised his toad face and looked at the slender and strong dragon above him, and said in a majestic voice: "How can I have a grudge against you? I will draw a line!"
"good!"
Mist rose, and the old dragon crouched slightly under the moonlight: "A hundred years ago, I had practiced Taoism for hundreds of years, hiding in the green pool at the bottom of this stream, waiting for the moment to transform into a dragon. I didn't expect you, a toad, to fight with human cultivators. I just climbed out of the stream out of curiosity to take a look, and you beat me and injured my demon bones!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Liangsheng's expression froze, and even the alert Qi You lowered his hands and looked at the Toad Taoist.
"So it was you who really injured him."
The Toad Taoist half closed his eyes, sat down on Lu Liangsheng's shoulder, thought for a while, then uttered a long "oh", looked at the old dragon, and nodded.
"Now that I think about it, it seems that this is indeed the case." He seemed to be explaining to his disciple, "I massacred people in Luohe Town and was chased by the Taoists who came over. During the fight, I did accidentally step on your foot. No wonder you feel a little soft. It turns out that I stepped on you..."
"Was that a kick?!"
The old dragon climbed up the cliff excitedly, and slammed its claws not far from Lu Liangsheng, causing the trees to fall to the ground and rocks to roll. It roared, "It's two feet! Step on the tail from the middle!"
Lu Liangsheng slapped his forehead. It seemed that it was really his master who did the evil. Since he started practicing Taoism, it seemed that almost every time he went wrong, it was related to his master. He really had the urge to throw him away...
He took another deep breath and raised his hands: "Fellow Daoist, calm down. I will bring my master to apologize to you first. How are you injured now..."
Before the scholar could finish his words, the old dragon dug its sharp claws into the rocks of the cliff and lowered its head to stare at the scholar.
"Injury... It's okay to be injured, but because of this old toad, I was seriously injured. Someone took the opportunity to find me and ripped the tendons off my back. I wouldn't still be here a hundred years later. I tricked people into coming here and stealing Yang Qi. I only dared to steal a little, fearing that those cultivators would find out and kill me as an evil dragon! Don't you think I'm angry?!"
If it were Lu Liangsheng, he would be angry too. He really suffered this unexpected disaster for nothing.
"Wait... your ligaments were ripped out?"
Lu Liangsheng suddenly thought of the black whip he got from Hua Hongyi. Wasn't there a dragon aura on it? And the magic weapon was obtained by Hua Hongyi from Master Wu Yuan. Could it be...
He looked at the old dragon and quickly opened his mouth to ask about a person.
"Fellow Daoist, the person who took your dragon tendon was Master Wu Yuan?"
"I don't know. I don't want to fight with the world. I am at peace hiding at the bottom of the pool to practice. How can I recognize any master?" The old dragon thought for a while and shook his huge head. "But there were two people coming. One of them was older, with a Taoist temperament and a majestic beard. Hmm... He looks a bit like you. When we were at the bottom of the pool, I heard the older one calling the name of the other person next to him, calling... calling... Qin... something."
Um?!
This time even Taoist Toad was stunned. Not to mention that the man looked somewhat similar to Lu Liangsheng, wasn't the man behind him the person that the yellow-skinned old woman in the deserted house in Weishan Town asked them to find
On the other side, Lao Sun, Lu Pan and nine others who were squatting far away in the grass in the woods stared at the long shadow in the moonlight. They originally thought that there would be a big battle, but there was no movement for a long time. They even saw the legendary dragon slowly lower its body.
"Isn't it that the deal has been reached?"
"… He should be talking to Liang Sheng, Lao Sun, do you see what he is talking about?"
The Taoist shook his head: "Who knows? I am waiting so long that I want to take a shit."
…
The mountain breeze was blowing with varying strengths. The scholar on the cliff was silent for a long time. That Qin Xujia was actually dead. He also said that if he met him in the future, he would ask about the magic circle in "Record of Protecting Spirits in Mountains and Rivers".
"What happened to those two people later?"
"One of them died." Outside the cliff, the old dragon moved his body, as if recalling a scene from the past, and tapped the rock with one sharp claw: "The younger one was killed by the older one and thrown into my pond. His body is still at the bottom of the pond. Hey, why am I telling you this? Aren't you here to question me?!"
On the opposite side, Lu Liangsheng did not respond to these words, but suddenly turned around and looked at Qi You behind him.
"Do you still have that black whip?"
“Yes!” Mu Qiyou stretched out her long sleeves, and in her white palm was the whip. She suddenly grasped it and pressed it against her chest, pouting her red lips: “What for? Old demon, this is a gift from you!”
Huh~~
A thick and long shadow moved outside the cliff, raised its head, staring at the black whip in the woman's hand. Its vertical pupils suddenly shrank, and a hoarse sound came out from its long, exposed kiss.
"My...my..."
"Mine!" Mu Qiyou took a step back, holding the black whip and glaring at the agitated old dragon, "If you dare to snatch it, I'll beat you!"
"Qiyou!"
Lu Liangsheng walked over and took the black whip from the woman's hand: "This is not made by me. I will make one for you later."
Humph... Mu Qiyou moved his mouth slightly, handed the long whip to the scholar, and reminded him: "Old demon, don't forget what you said."
"Yes, I won't forget it."
Looking at the magic weapon in his hand, Lu Liangsheng returned to the edge of the cliff and raised the whip: "Daoyou, do you recognize it?"
"I recognize it! That's my dragon tendon—"
The old dragon's sharp claws as it climbed on the cliff were firmly stuck in the cliff wall. It was about to go over excitedly, but when it thought of the magic sword hanging over its head, it stopped hesitantly and did not dare to get closer.
The next second, before he could speak again, the black whip was suddenly thrown over, and he subconsciously opened his mouth and took it in his mouth. Suspicion flashed in his majestic snake eyes, and he stared blankly at the scholar below.
Lu Liangsheng shook his sleeves to the left and right, raised his hands towards the dragon outside the cliff, and bowed.
"I am only returning the property to its original owner and making amends for my master's recklessness back then."
Under the moonlight, the dragon was silent for a while and lowered its head as it looked at the scholar who bowed with his hands clasped above his head.
"Sir, thank you so much!"
Its long body twisted and turned, and it swam down the mountain stream along the cliff. In less than a moment, it came up again with the sound of splashing water. It opened its long mouth and spit out a fishy wind, and then a white skeleton floated to the ground. Its long front limbs and sharp claws hooked another scale and dropped it into Lu Liangsheng's hand.
"There are millions of fish scales in rivers and streams, and the dragon is the longest. I am grateful to you, sir, for your kindness. If you need me in the future, you can use this scale to call me!"
The dragon tendons seemed to be growing back on his back. The old dragon pushed the cliff with his limbs, and his slender body flew across the mountain stream under the moonlight, like swimming with a tail in the water, rushing upstream towards the bright moon in the sky.
"Hoo-ah~~~"
The dragon's roar resounded through the moonlit night sky before it fell straight down, rushed into the clouds in the mountain stream, and fell into a deep pool.
