In the brightly lit inner hall, it is magnificent and majestic. There is an ever-bright lamp burning in the hall, and a bluestone is burning in it, and the blue smoke rises and coils in the hall.
It is green sandalwood, which will release a strange fragrance when burned. It has the effect of concentration and meditation. It is a must-have for cultivation. However, the price of this thing is not low, and it can be used as fuel, which shows that the master here has quite a status.
In the inner hall, a middle-aged man dressed in a bright yellow robe stands with his hand holding his hand. He has a firm face and a majestic atmosphere between his eyes. He has obviously been in a high position for a long time. Behind him, a faint aura rises, like flames and thunder, giving off a low The roar.
But if he looked at his right arm, he found that it was empty and it was a broken arm.
Beside him, there is a beautiful woman in palace costume. She has a slender body, graceful and beautiful appearance, but her cheeks are exceptionally pale and weak.
At this time, the men and women, who were obviously not low-ranking, looked forward with a trace of tension on their faces. They saw that there was a teenager who was about thirteen or fourteen years old sitting cross-legged on the bed. Slightly thin, with his eyes closed tightly, the youthful face that was supposed to be vigorous, but lingering with blood.
That strange blood rushed under his skin, faintly, as if there was a spiteful dragon howl.
And along with that dragon howl, the young man's forehead pulsed with blue veins, his body was constantly trembling, his face became hideous, and it seemed that he had endured the pain that was difficult to speak.
At the side of the young man, a white-haired old man is holding a bronze mirror. On the bronze mirror, a soft light radiates, shining on the young man’s body, and under the light, the strange blood on the young man’s face is Began to calm down gradually.
After the blood energy lasted for a stick of incense, it finally retreated, and finally retracted into the palm of the young man.
Seeing this scene, the white-haired old man breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned around, bending over to the middle-aged man and the beautiful woman in palace costume waiting nervously: "Congratulations, the queen, these three years After a big hurdle, His Royal Highness finally survived, and the next three years should be fine."
The middle-aged man and the beautiful woman in palace costumes all smiled upon hearing this, and the clenched fists were gradually loosened.
"Master Qin, Yuan'er is now thirteen. Generally, a teenager of this age has eight veins and can start practicing, then Yuan'er?" The majestic man in a bright yellow robe looked expectantly at the white man in front of him. The old man asked.
Hearing this question, the white-haired old man's expression suddenly dimmed. He shook his head slightly and said, "My lord, this time the old man still hasn't detected the eight meridians in His Highness..."
Upon hearing this, the majestic man's eyes were also dimmed.
In this world, the path of cultivation begins in the human body. There are countless meridians in the human body, and the most important of these is the eight major channels. Except for some special circumstances, the average person’s eight channels must be in ten. Only when you are two or three years old will Fang gradually take shape. At this time, you need to find out these eight channels. Only when you find these eight channels can you begin to practice, absorb the source of heaven and earth, and open up the eight channels.
This is the Open Vessel Realm, the beginning of all cultivation.
The cultivator is also known as the source master because of the power of the source of heaven and earth and transforming himself.
Master Qin saw the gloominess on the middle-aged man's face, and he was a little unbearable. He sighed and said, "His Royal Highness is the destiny of the holy dragon. You should be amazed by the world and look down upon the sky. How can you expect this disaster..."
The middle-aged man clasped his palms tightly, and the beautiful woman in the palace dress beside him also had ruddy eyes, and then coughed violently twice while covering his mouth.
"The queen takes care of your body, you have lost a lot of blood to nourish your majesty. Don't be upset." Master Qin hurriedly said when seeing this.
The beautiful woman in the palace dress waved her hand, looking sadly at the young man sitting on the bed, and said: "The poison in Yuan'er's body breaks out once in three years, and it is getting worse every time. I want to eradicate it. He relied on himself, but now his eight meridians are not visible, what about three years later?"
Master Qin was silent for a while, and slowly said, "After three years, the suppression of external forces will fail. If this is the case, I am afraid that your life will be worrying."
As soon as this statement came out, there was a moment of silence in the hall. The middle-aged man clenched his palms, his body trembling slightly, and the beautiful woman in palace clothes made a low cry of sobbing while covering his mouth.
"So... my life span is only three years left?" In the silence, a slightly tender but calm voice suddenly sounded.
The three people in the hall were shocked when they heard the words, and quickly raised their heads, only to see that the young man on the bed opened his eyes for some time and was looking at them.
The three of them glanced at each other. Obviously, they didn't expect the young man to wake up so quickly. You must know that before, he would have to fall asleep for two or three days to get over.
"Yuaner..."
The young man called Yuan'er was named Zhou Yuan, and the middle-aged man and beautiful woman in front of him were the king and queen of this great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Qing and Qin Yu.
Zhou Yuan pursed his mouth, his immature face looked a little pale, perhaps because he had been thin since he was a child, and he could only read more. He looked a little bookish, he was silent for a moment, and slowly stretched out his palm.
I saw that there was a dull blood in the palm of its palm. The blood was as if it had been branded to the deepest part of the flesh and blood. It slowly squirmed, looking like a blood dragon with its teeth and claws, faintly, as if it had The strong resentment radiated from it, which made people shudder.
"Father and queen... This time, you should always tell me what happened to me, right?"
Zhou Yuan stared at the thing that looked like a little blood dragon in his palm. His teeth couldn't help but clenched. It was this thing that made him realize the pain of life not as good as death.
Every three years, this thing began to make trouble, as if to swallow every inch of his flesh and blood, causing boundless pain.
Hearing Zhou Yuan's words, both Zhou Qing's and Qin Yu's complexions became less bloody, especially the former, with their fists clenched, and a deep look of regret and self-blame appeared on their faces.
The silence lasted for a long while, and the air was a little frozen. Zhou Qing finally took a deep breath and said hoarsely: "This is, Dragon-Resentful Poison."
"Resent Dragon Poison?" Zhou Yuan frowned, not knowing why.
Zhou Qing's palm tremblingly touched Zhou Yuan's head, and said, "You should know these things now, Yuan'er, do you know that you are my Zhou family's sacred dragon!"
Zhou Yuan couldn't help but smiled bitterly. Is there such a miserable sacred dragon? I can't even find the eight veins in my body.
Zhou Qing sat beside Zhou Yuan and said in a low voice: "Yuan'er, now our Great Zhou Dynasty, on this endless vast continent, may only be regarded as a small country, but you don’t know that, fifteen years ago, Our Great Zhou is a majestic big country, and all countries come to Korea, and they are all over the world."
Some surprises appeared on Zhou Yuan's small face. There were many dynasties and empires on this vast continent, and their Great Zhou dynasty was not too prominent among them. Didn't you expect to have such status in the past
"Do you know that Dawu dynasty?" When Zhou Qing said the name, he paused every word, as if he was unforgettable.
"Dawu Dynasty?" Zhou Yuan nodded. The Dawu Dynasty is the top-level dynasty in this vast continent. It has prosperous national fortune and countless source teachers. Compared with their great Zhou, it can be described as a giant and a dwarf.
Zhou Qing's eyes were a little bit red at this time, and deep hatred appeared in his eyes: "Then you know that 15 years ago, the Dawu imperial family today was only a minister of our Great Zhou Dynasty. Belong?"
There was finally a look of shock in Zhou Yuan's eyes, and now that Dawu imperial family was once a vassal of their Dazhou? Fifteen years ago, they were so powerful
"Then... Then why did it become like this?" Zhou Yuan couldn't help but asked.
"During the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Great Zhou, the Wu family has been following our Zhou family to fight in all directions, loyal and loyal. Later, our Great Zhou established the country and honoured its merits. It became the hereditary king of martial arts and enjoyed boundless rights. For a hundred years, guarding the surrounding borders and frightening the Quartet."
Zhou Qing's body trembled slightly, and the bloodshot eyes in his eyes crawled out at this time: "However, no one expected that 15 years ago, the Wu family suddenly launched a rebellion. At this time, our Zhou family only discovered that after all these years By keeping a low profile, that martial artist already possesses extremely powerful power, and many of the kings in the dynasty have been attracted by him."
"In less than a year, our Zhou clan was defeated and fled all the way south, to the ancestral land where our Zhou clan had prospered, which is now our Dazhou area."
"I don't know why the Wu family rebelled. The status they enjoy in our Dazhou is not weaker than the royal family..."
"Until later, the spy got some information from the Wu Family. That is a prophecy that has been circulating in the Wu Family for hundreds of years..."
"Prophecy?" Zhou Yuan was startled slightly.
Zhou Qing gritted his teeth and said word by word: "The python bird swallows the dragon, Wu Dangxing!"
"The python bird swallows the dragon, the great Wu Dangxing?" Zhou Yuan said gently, but he didn't know the meaning, and said, "What does this mean?"
Zhou Qing's eyes became red at this time. He stared at Zhou Yuan, his eyes incomparably sad: "I didn't know what this meant until that day..."
"Our Da Zhou was defeated. I led the remnants of Da Zhou and continued to retreat. The Wu family pursued them until they reached the Da Zhou city under our feet. However, the Wu family was besieging and not attacking, as if waiting."
"Waiting for what?" Zhou Yuan felt anxious.
Zhou Qing stared at Zhou Yuan, and there was a look of crying but not crying on his face. The despair and anger made Zhou Yuan's heart tremble.
"They are waiting for your birth."
Zhou Qing's words shocked Zhou Yuan's heart, and his face was caught off guard.
On the side, Zhou Yuan's mother, Qin Yu was already covering her mouth and let out a cry that was suppressed to the extreme.
"Do you know how you were when you were born?" Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Yuan with blood red eyes: "Yuan'er, the moment you were born, there was a vision in the sky, the purple gas was transpiring, and the dragon gas was entangled. The dragon chants the heavens and the earth, but the sacred dragon looks."
"You are born with eight meridians to self-open. You have already stepped past the open meridian state to nourish your qi when you were just born."
"This is the legendary "Holy Dragon Qi Luck". It is inexhaustible. It can enter the realm in the future, with the same light as the world, and the sun and the moon with the same life. You are the unprecedented holy dragon in my Zhou family!
Zhou Qing's tone was extremely excited, and his whole body was trembling violently. When Zhou Yuan was born, one could imagine how excited he was, and the Zhou family would never die. At this critical moment, the Zhou family ushered in the birth of the holy dragon.
Zhou Yuan also opened his eyes wide. Obviously, he couldn't imagine that when he was born, there would be such a vision.
"Then... Then why..." His palm quivered slightly and stroked his body. Since he was born with eight channels self-opening, why can't even the eight channels be found in his body now
Zhou Qing’s excitement stopped suddenly. The light in his eyes seemed to be dissipating at this moment. There was only a deep sorrow. He said with a gray expression: "Because the moment you were born, King Wu outside the city His wife also gave birth to a boy and a girl. The baby boy has the air of a snake and python, and the girl has the air of a bird on the head, and she also has luck in her body!"
"And according to the information we have, the wife of King Wu has been pregnant for three full years, but she has never given birth, but today, she gave birth suddenly..."
"In the past, I didn't know why, but at that time I finally understood. It is rumored that people born on the same day and the same year can bite each other's luck. It turns out that the martial arts have been planning for many years, and what they did was not simply planning my big week. It's looking for the dragon of my Zhou family!"
Zhou Yuan opened his mouth, and a chill came from the soles of his feet on the Tianling Gai: "This is a conspiracy!"
How can there be such a coincidence in the world, this is obviously a big conspiracy that has been brewing for a hundred years and is aimed at them, Zhou Clan, and even... specifically aimed at him.
For this, they even tried their best to let King Wu's wife not give birth for three years, just waiting for him!
Zhou Qing nodded, and said hoarsely: "It is indeed a conspiracy. The Wu family has tolerated hundreds of years in my Da Zhou, and fought for my Da Zhou to fight in the north and south to gain trust. However, no one expected that their forbearance for a hundred years. It's all for you!"
"On that day, King Wu entered the city, threatening the hundreds of millions of people of Zhou to take your holy dragon's luck before my mother and your mother..." At this point, Zhou Qing even had blood and tears flowing in his eyes. come out.
On the side, Master Qin also looked sad, and said in a low voice: "On that day, the king fought with King Wu on Dazhou Mountain in order to protect His Highness, but he was invincible. He was cut off by him, if it weren't for King Wu. I'm afraid that other people will ruin your Royal Highness's holy dragon's luck and end, I am afraid that even the king will have to fight to death."
"And in order to successfully win the luck of His Royal Highness, King Wu made an ancestral vow that Da Wu will not set foot in the Great Zhou for a hundred years."
The horrible scene that year came out of the depths of his mind again, Qin Yu on the side, unable to bear his emotions anymore, knelt down in front of Zhou Yuan, hugged him tightly, wept bitterly, the cries were heartbreaking. .
"Yuan'er! My poor son! I'm sorry, the queen mother!"
The cruel memory of that day was once again torn apart by bloody blood. She clearly remembered that Zhou Yuan, who was just born, was treated as an eyeball and placed on the altar arranged by King Wu.
And in the altar, there are also a pair of children who have just been born by King Wu.
It's just that one is being seized, and two are being taken.
Deprivation of luck is like peeling off flesh and blood, and the pain is unimaginable.
At that time, Qin Yu was just happy to have a son, but he could only watch his child in the cold altar, suffering from boundless pain, crying into a hoarse voice.
That kind of despair and powerlessness almost made her faint to death at that time.
Pouch.
But because of the agitated mood, Qin Yu's cheeks paled instantly, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, dyeing Zhou Yuan's hair red.
"Queen?! What's wrong with you?" Zhou Yuan was shocked, and hurriedly helped Qin Yu wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth.
Master Qin on the side hurried up, his palm exuding a gentle aura, pouring in from Qin Yutian Linggai, helping her stabilize the blood in her body, he glanced at the pale Qin Yu, and then sighed at Zhou Yuan: "His Royal Highness, you can't blame the king and queen for failing to protect you. The king tried everything that year and almost died in battle."
"And the queen even injected her own blood into your body after you were deprived of your luck at the beginning, and then you will be transfused every year, so that your Royal Highness can live to this day, but the queen also paid a great price for this. Every time she has a blood transfusion, she will lose three years of life. In twelve years, she has lost 36 years of life, and her vitality is severely damaged. Now she has only less than ten years of life."
"What?! What did you say?!"
When Zhou Yuan heard this, he was struck by lightning, and bloodshot eyes crazily climbed out. Even if he heard that his luck was robbed, he had never experienced such a strong mood swing. After all, these things happened when he was young and didn't remember anything. , Therefore, did not have a strong sense of belonging to the so-called "Holy Dragon Qi Luck", even if it was deprived of the design, it was only a little shocked.
The Wu family designed him for a hundred years. Although there were waves in his heart, he could suppress it, but they forced his mother who loved him until her life was exhausted, but it was the first time that Zhou Yuan had an unstoppable killing intent in his heart.
Therefore, when he heard Master Qin’s words at this time, Zhou Yuan could no longer maintain his emotions. The blood from his whole body was rushing to his brain frantically, causing his face to become blood-red, and his delicate and tender face was actually It looked a little savage.
"Wu family, you dare to persecute my mother queen! Damn it!"
Zhou Yuan trembled all over, his eyes were blood red, and a monstrous anger and killing intent surged from his heart.
Zhou Qing picked up Qin Yu and leaned her on the jade couch. At this time, his hair seemed to be paler at this time, and his majestic aura disappeared. He said in a dull tone: "There is luck between heaven and earth. In short, the martial arts have a weak background. If you want to establish a country, extend future generations, and frighten the Quartet, you must have enough air luck to support it, and your holy dragon air luck is the best thing."
"The King Wu seized your luck and bestowed his sons and daughters. Since then, Dawu has the dragon and the phoenix to protect him, the national fortune is prosperous, and the prosperity of the Dawu dynasty is all because of the deprivation of your luck."
"And the sacred dragon aura that you carried was forcibly plundered by the order of the python bird, and naturally produced a strong resentment. Then King Wu deliberately sealed this resentment in your body, thus forming the resentful dragon poison. , It swallows your blood and continues to grow, until one day it matures and explodes, it will completely swallow your vitality."
"At the same time, your sacred dragon. The root is broken, and the natural eight meridians have faded. To this day, the eight meridians have never appeared again, and the road to cultivation is difficult..."
Zhou Qing's voice was bleak, with boundless powerlessness in it, it was hard to imagine how desperate that day would be for them Zhou Clan.
On that day, the pythons and birds outside the city cried together, and the sky was full of clouds, taking advantage of the situation to change.
On that day, the holy dragon in the city wailed, turned into green smoke, curled up and scattered.
This is, the python bird swallows the dragon.
