"Later, Ye Ming died." The Dragon King said in a deep voice, "The Xie Prison destroyed every layer of seals, and infected all the Dragon Kings with the devilish energy it brought up from the abyss."
The Dragon King's flight was quite shaky, Hong Jun asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"
"It doesn't matter." The Dragon King replied, "The abyss is ahead."
They had flown over the snow-capped mountains where Hong Jun and Qiu Yongsi arrived at the beginning, and came to the huge abyss and rift. Hong Jun couldn't help but look down, and almost fell instantly.
"Be careful—"
The Dragon King reminded that Qiu Yongsi had caught Hong Jun.
However, when Hong Jun looked into the rift, he suddenly seemed to see the deepest part, and a faint flash appeared. That flash is like a firefly in a distant bush in the dark night, just a little bit.
"What's that?" Hong Jun asked.
Qiu Yongsi said, "What did you see?"
The Dragon King was puzzled and wanted to bow his head, and the two hurriedly shouted together.
"Wow - don't bow your head!" Qiu Yongsi was climbing on its dragon horn, and could be shaken off by it at any time.
"Here we are," said the Dragon King.
The beam of light was getting closer and closer, and it was clearly visible. Hong Jun looked at the center of a snowy field, where a huge teleportation array appeared, and the teleportation array looked very familiar.
Hong Jun: "Huh?"
"That's right." Qiu Yongsi smiled, "I learned this magic circle on the ninth floor, and that's how the enchantment of the Exorcist came about."
No wonder—Hong Jun suddenly remembered the formation drawn by Nine-Tailed Fox.
"The prison is also used..." Hong Jun was surprised, "You were so calm at that time, you didn't say anything!"
Qiu Yongsi said: "The teleportation spell used by Wu Qiyu must have been given by Xie Prison. After I discovered this, I told Chang Shi. Based on this, Chang Shi judged that Xi Prison may still be in Chang'an."
"Hurry up!" Dragon King shouted, "Let's go to the third floor!"
Immediately afterwards, the Dragon King accelerated sharply, rushed into the blue beam of light, and shot towards the zenith. Hong Jun and Qiu Yongsi each hugged one dragon horn tightly and shouted repeatedly.
"We have to go." Li Jinglong said to Yan Ming, "We must solve this place as soon as possible and return to the world."
"It's been more than half a month since you entered the tower." Ye Ming said.
Li Jinglong hasn't slept since he got off the boat yesterday, and he was quite tired. Ashina Qiong said, "Let's take a rest."
"I can go." Li Jinglong cheered up and said, "Find Hong Jun first."
"I'll send you to the eighth floor." Ye Ming said, "Going down one by one, the passage has been opened by Xie Prison. After finding Yongsi, he will naturally bring you up."
Li Jinglong and Ashina Qiong stood on the rune circle at the bottom of the tower in the middle of the tower, and Ye Ming's voice came from the top of the tower, saying: "I can hold on for another three days, and I must return within three days."
"What?!" the two yelled in unison.
However, after Ye Ming finished speaking, the magic circle flashed and sent the two of them down.
In the autumn of the thirteenth year of Tianbao, night, Chang'an.
After a few rains, Chang'an cools down. The autumn air is crisp, the moon is bright and the sky is bright, and the whole city is silent.
Concubine Yang Guifei looked at the courtyard of the Xingqing Palace in the autumn lonely after washing up. Since her birthday, rumors of Yang Guozhong's disappearance for no reason had spread. She specially visited the Exorcist Division before Li Jinglong's departure. The answer he got was that his elder brother was dead, and a monster replaced his body—just like the eldest sister, Mrs. Guo Guo.
But Li Jinglong promised to keep his mouth shut and cooperate with the prince's actions to give Yang Guozhong a more suitable home. The only destination is death, but at least a decent death.
Two monsters had already appeared in the Yang family, and she didn't even know whether it was fate or a coincidence, although Li Jinglong had repeatedly assured that such things would not happen again to the rest of the Yang family. But when she was asked to look at her two sisters: Mrs. Han and Mrs. Qin, her eyes were full of surprise and suspicion.
Over time, every late night, she would see Mrs. Guo Guo's shadow, as if standing by the head of her bed, making her lose her mind, and if things go on like this, it would almost drive her crazy. Li Longji never mentioned her elder brother in front of her, so she had to hold back her tears and forced a smile all day long.
What is going on? Why is the Yang family as if under a curse? This is her pain, and it is also the pain of the family. Looking back at the beginning, my biological father Yang Xuanyan was once the Sihu in Shuzhong. Then he was sent to prison, and when he was seriously ill, he summoned all his sons and daughters, and told them to support each other through the iron bed. The Yang family would never come to an end like this.
At that time, her elder brother held ten-year-old her in one hand and promised her father that he would take good care of the family.
At that time, she still didn't know whether Yang Guozhong was a monster in Li Jinglong's mouth, or a human being. Even Li Jinglong couldn't answer her this question. Her only wish now was to meet her brother before they killed the monster. Whether it's a demon or a human being, she wants to know.
Sometimes she couldn't hold back anymore, and almost wanted to go all out, asking Li Longji, making noise, and even putting her own life at risk, asking Li Longji to give her an answer. But thinking that behind him, there are more than 70 people in the Yang family. The older Li Longji gets, the more unpredictable his temper becomes. Once she is imprisoned, it is bound to implicate all relatives who depend on her.
She couldn't even cry well, and was in despair all day long.
She sat quietly under the moon, suddenly the bright moon was in the sky, and everything was silent. When the autumn wind first rose, there was a murderous aura in the sky and the earth, as if she saw death. When I die, maybe I won't have so many troubles anymore.
Black air surged in the courtyard, Yang Yuhuan just looked at everything in front of her numbly. In fact, she had many dreams, and each dream started like this. Gathering the appearance of a big sister, telling her in a low voice, let her avenge herself .
"Are you back?" Yang Yuhuan whispered.
"I'm back." The black energy gathered into Yang Guozhong's figure, and Yang Yuhuan was startled for a moment.
Yang Guozhong's clothes were tattered, like a lonely ghost looking for a home, he came from the garden and staggered close to Yang Yuhuan.
Yang Yuhuan was startled suddenly, staggered forward, and said sadly: "Brother—"
"The imperial concubine?" the palace maid asked.
Yang Guozhong staggered and threw himself into Yang Yuhuan's arms. Yang Yuhuan woke up instantly, knelt on the ground holding him, and looked back.
"Don't come out." Yang Yuhuan said calmly, "I had a dream, let me be quiet."
The court lady responded, and Yang Yuhuan knelt down on the ground. Yang Guozhong's face was dirty and black, and his body was covered with rotten leaves and branches. it's..."
Yang Yuhuan was breathing heavily, but Yang Guozhong held her hand tightly and said, "I want... I want to see... Your Majesty."
Yang Yuhuan turned her head, looked around nervously, then looked down at Yang Guozhong, tears fell on Yang Guozhong's face. Yang Guozhong raised his hand, wiped away Yang Yuhuan's tears, and said, "I'm trying my best to come back to see Your Majesty with my last breath... just because... I have... one word, I want to say..."
Yang Yuhuan mourned: "No... no, you go right away, go now! Go!"
In the night of Kuang Ye, the palace was in chaos, and the servants holding torches surrounded the apse where the noble concubine lived three layers inside and three layers outside. Li Longji walked quickly, followed by Li Guinian.
Li Longji casually pointed to the outside of the hall, signaling Li Guinian to wait.
"Yadanhou said..."
"I'm a ninth-five-year-old, why should I be afraid of a monster?" Li Longji replied.
Li Guinian had to wait outside, Li Longji stepped into the hall, and saw Concubine Yang guarding in front of the couch, on which lay Yang Guozhong in a tattered outer robe.
Li Longji watched quietly, Concubine Yang Guifei was crying out of shape with pear blossoms and rain.
"You are here, Son of Heaven." Yang Guozhong said tiredly with his eyes closed.
Li Longji took a deep breath. Facing this familiar face, he couldn't be angry for a moment. Once upon a time, this person's voice and smile seemed to be still in front of him.
"What you covet is always my Great Tang Dynasty." Li Longji said.
"Why don't you miss me?" Yang Guozhong said slowly, "To be honest, I really couldn't bear it... From now on, in the history books that will last forever, I will be the only one who can't scold me. You... when you become the son of heaven, how come you are so bright and upright, with the heart of a child? It's just half a saint, half... that's all."
Between the monarch and his ministers, it is clear.
Over the years, Yang Guozhong has given Li Longji a bad reputation. If he hadn't amassed so much money for Li Longji, the Tang treasury would never have been as prosperous as it is today. Since ancient times, treacherous ministers have always been indispensable under the command of a conservative monarch. The impeachment of the Yang family in the court is getting louder and louder, but only Yang Guozhong knows that Li Longji is also a mortal, and as a mortal, he has the emotions, greed and obsession of a mortal.
And he, Yang Guozhong, was just Li Longji's shadow.
Li Longji said in a deep voice, "You are the black dragon in Jingshui."
"That's right...it's me." Yang Guozhong said wearily, "I'm leaving now, this body... I will return it to you. From now on, I will never see each other again. Although I want to take you away from the world, I have also regarded you as a friend ...Farewell, Son of Heaven..."
While speaking, Yang Guozhong exuded black air all over his body, Yang Yuhuan exclaimed, and Li Longji immediately grabbed her wrist and dragged her back.
"Your fate...is not with me." Yang Guozhong finally said, "It is...Anlu Mountain."
As he finished speaking, his arm slowly dropped from the side of the couch, and suddenly there was a dragon's roar, which swept past like a storm, as if something invisible disappeared, and the black air exploded, and then slowly transpired, rising into the sky.
Regardless of the ban, Li Guinian rushed in quickly and stood in front of the imperial concubine. The ring on his hand glowed red, and the divine fire ignited blazingly, surrounding the three of them. After the black air dissipated, Yang Guozhong's face on the couch appeared, and the autumn wind blew in, bringing up the gauze curtain in the hall.
Li Longji stared blankly at everything in front of him. The moonlight entered the hall and fell on Yang Guozhong's face.
Li Guinian walked forward slowly, stretched out his hand to test the pulse on Yang Guozhong's neck, after a long time, there was a slight pulsation at the pulse.
Deep under the Daming Palace.
The black dragon lingered in a ball of flames, and the black air in all directions emerged in the form of monsters such as Wu Qiyu and flying mastiff.
"This move is too risky." Wu Qiyu said coldly, "What if they put the body to death?"
Xie Prison said in a deep voice: "It's okay, Li Jinglong is not in Chang'an, and I have tricked him into the tower. When that body wakes up, it will be a mortal. Li Longji will definitely not kill me."
"But you can't go back into that body." Wu Qiyu replied, "The soul melting technique is extremely difficult. If it weren't for this, Yuzaoyun would not have been sealed by Kong Xuan in the past."
"Wait." Xie Gui said, "What I need is devil energy."
Wu Qiyu: "When will it be?"
"Wait for An Lushan to act first." Xie Gui said, "As long as the heart lamp is not in this world, I will definitely be the winner in the end."
The light flashed, and the Dragon King carried Qiu Yongsi and Hong Jun to the third floor, and Hong Jun felt a burst of scorching heat instantly.
"This is the True Fire Prison." The Dragon King replied with an icy air, "It's the place where the Fire Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King are."
There are volcanoes everywhere, and lava is rolling under his feet. Hong Jun said: "It's hot and cold, and you will get sick."
"I tried my best." The Dragon King replied, "There is another Dragon King guarding here, and it has been polluted by the evil energy brought out by the prison in the past. We must avoid it."
"What's its name?" Hong Jun said.
"I really can't remember." Dragon King replied.
Hong Jun sat in front of its dragon horn and said, "You can neither remember your own name nor the names of other dragons."
The Dragon King replied: "When the seven Dragon Kings entered the pagoda, the agreement they followed was to forget their own names."
Hong Jun asked curiously, "Why?"
The Dragon King said: "Abandoning the name means abandoning the status of the Dragon King, giving up everything that belongs to us, acting as the defeated party, and making a contract with the ancient immortals."
"But..." Hong Jun thought for a while, and felt something vaguely.
Qiu Yongsi said: "For dragons, names have a special meaning. When they are Jiaos, they actually have no names."
"But there are prisons." Hong Jun said.
"That's the name Ye Ming gave it." Dragon King replied.
"I seem to..." Hong Jun remembered something. It seemed that somewhere, he had seen dragons in ancient times, and the dragons were famous, which was actually recorded.
"Your name..." Hong Jun suddenly remembered, and said, "Is your name Xuan..."
Qiu Yongsi: "..."
Hong Jun: "I remember! Your name is Xuan Ming! Look at my memory."
Suddenly, the Dragon King under the two of them paused, and then let out a roar that shook the world. Ice crystals exploded from its body, and a hurricane blew out, sweeping away with the blizzard!
"I remember!" Dragon King roared.
Hongjun: "..."
Qiu Yongsi: "..."
Immediately afterwards, the Dragon King rose into the air and let out a second roar of ecstasy. Its injuries did not ease, but it seemed that something had changed. Qiu Yongsi said: "Calm down! Xuan Ming! Calm down! "
Xuanming rose and then fell suddenly, rushing towards the magma, Hong Jun and Qiu Yongsi couldn't help shouting, seeing the tumbling magma sea approaching, Xuanming suddenly spewed out a mouthful of icy air, and the area of nearly ten feet was instantly Congeal and become solid ground.
"Oops!" Hong Jun was thrown down, and then Xuan Ming turned into a human form, his indigo robe shook away, his silver hair fluttered in the wind and snow, from his feet to his head, he transformed into a cool and handsome young man.
Hong Jun and Qiu Yongsi were dumbfounded for a moment.
"I didn't expect that." Xuan Ming said in a low voice, "When the life expectancy is approaching, I still remembered the old name, thank you."
Qiu Yongsi: "What did you do!"
Hong Jun: "How do I know!"
Hong Jun remembered that Li Jinglong had a book in his hand, and the book recorded the names of the dragons in the Shanhai Era. These names had long been annihilated in history and became unheard of, but that book was nothing unusual.
The wound still appeared on Xuan Ming's chest, and black blood oozes from it. Just as he was about to speak again, there was a roar from the magma, and a flaming dragon rushed out.
"It's the Dragon King on this floor!" Qiu Yongsi said.
Xuanming immediately raised his hand, and the blizzard swept away, but the fire dragon didn't speak, it just stirred up magma all over the sky, turned into flying fire meteors and shot into the lava sea.
"Eyes!" Qiu Yongsi shouted.
The fire dragon's eyes were like Xuan Ming's heart, and it turned into a monster, which seemed to be extremely painful, stirring up the raging magma and turning the sky upside down. Xuan Ming shouted: "I'll send you up!"
Immediately afterwards, Xuanming rushed up and turned into the body of the Dragon King. Qiu Yongsi and Hong Jun jumped on the dragon's head, and Xuanming shot at the fire dragon that sprinkled countless magma in the shape of a dragon. The whole body of the fire dragon was burning, and orange-red flames shot out from the scales. Hong Jun and Qiu Yongsi approached the fire dragon with the dragon. Qiu Yongsi shouted: "No! It's too hot, it's going to be scorched!"
"I can't catch it!" Xuan Ming roared, "It flies too fast!"
The fire dragon rolled in the magma sea, and Xuanming couldn't rush into the magma to catch it even if he was covered in cold air. Qiu Yongsi shouted: "Lead it out of the lava, only once!"
Xuanming gathered Qi and erupted a blizzard into the lava. The fire dragon rushed out, turned around and spewed fire at Xuanming. Then Qiu Yongsi waved his pen and shouted: "Go!"
All the scenes turned into ink, and the falling meteors were all piled up in one place. The fire dragon was like a shadow puppet, unable to dodge left and right, and could only back away. In an instant, Xuanming had rushed forward, touching his shadow, Qiu Yongsi shouted again: "Open!"
Xuanming rolled in the air, and when he spoke, he bit the fire dragon's neck and slammed it into a volcano full of black rocks. Qiu Yongsi shouted: "Hong Jun!"
Hong Jun spun the Mo Dao, was thrown out, turned around in mid-air, swung the Mo Dao, and swiped the blade, cutting out the monster in the fire dragon's eyes!
The two monsters roared ferociously in the air, but when Qiu Yongsi took them away, the fire dragon almost roared in pain, and was bitten by Xuan Ming, collapsing the mountain and falling on the black stone.
Xuanming turned into a human being, in great pain, with one hand on his chest, he staggered and nearly fell to his knees.
Hong Jun and Qiu Yongsi were thrown out, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards Xuan Ming, but Xuan Ming waved his hands to signal that it was okay, and asked them to check on the fire dragon. A large amount of black blood dripped from the eyes of the Fire Dragon King, and the blood was sprinkled on the rock, and was evaporated in an instant.
The temperature in the volcano was extremely hot, and Hong Jun and Qiu Yongsi were steamed until their hair curled up. When they got close, they stared at the motionless Fire Dragon King.
"What's its name?"
"It seems to be called... Yinghuo?" Hong Jun said confusedly.
