Chen Changsheng sat leaning against the pillar for a long time. He didn't open his eyes until the sun moved westward and his body gradually warmed up.
The black sheep came up to him, ready to lead the way and take him away.
Chen Changsheng looked at it and shook his head, and said, "I still have some things to do."
He continued to sit where he was, looking at the ice cubes in the pond, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
There was a look of confusion in the black sheep's night-like eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Changsheng stood up, and instead of leaving the palace to return to the Orthodox Academy, he went directly to another palace.
He has been to this palace several times, each time by taking advantage of the night to talk to her through the window, this is the first time he has entered the palace.
Sure enough, Shuang'er also entered the palace, her face paled instantly when she saw him, she almost exclaimed, she finally calmed down a bit, her hands trembled a little when serving the tea, and almost splashed him all over.
"Don't take it to heart, I can say with certainty that she didn't want to take the opportunity to take revenge on you."
Xu Yourong looked at him and said calmly, "What happened?"
She knew very well that since she had made the request, under normal circumstances, Chen Changsheng would never risk being found out to see her.
Chen Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then said: "I... have a friend who has been trapped in one place for a long time, and I want to rescue him."
Hearing these words, Xu Yourong was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Then?"
"He may have done some wrong things back then, but... he has been imprisoned for a long time. It's really pitiful."
Chen Changsheng didn't know how to describe this matter, and his words were a little confused: "But I can't help it, so..."
Xu Yourong didn't wait for him to finish speaking, quietly looked into his eyes, and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Chen Changsheng was startled, and said seriously: "Yes, I'm going to do this."
Xu Yourong looked into his eyes quietly, and asked, "That friend of yours... is cinnabar?"
Chen Changsheng was a little confused, and said, "Cinnabar?"
Xu Yourong was a little surprised, and asked, "You don't know her name?"
Chen Changsheng was slightly startled and said, "Do you know who I'm talking about?"
Xu Yourong said: "Zhu Sha is the name of Little Dragon Girl. It is said that Master Wang Zhice gave it to her."
Chen Changsheng looked at her in surprise, and said, "Do you know about the Black Dragon?"
Xu Yourong nodded.
Chen Changsheng remained silent for a long time. The black dragon is a taboo in the Great Zhou Palace, a secret that only few people know, but Xu Yourong is a saint, and was raised by the saint empress since she was a child. too unimaginable.
"So... her name is Zhu Sha."
"So you don't know."
"Why did Master Wang Zhice choose her name?"
"Many years ago, the golden dragon clan suddenly disappeared, and the distinguished Xuanshuang dragon became the only candidate for the patriarch of the dragon clan. However, the most powerful Xuanshuang dragon of that generation had a soul that yearned for freedom and was unwilling Assuming this responsibility, I came to the human world quietly and invisible, and then I met Zhou Dufu."
"and after?"
"The noblest, most powerful, and proudest dragon in the millennium, the mysterious frost dragon, fell and turned into the Muyu in the Zhou Garden."
Chen Changsheng fell silent.
When he was in the Zhou Garden, he saw with his own eyes the magnificent picture of the winding mountain range that seemed to be burning under the twilight. He also felt the strangeness of the black dragon's soul. But how could he have imagined that that Muyu turned out to be the body of a mysterious frost dragon after its fall.
"and after?"
"Zhu Sha is the daughter of the mysterious dragon. She somehow left the Dragon Island in the South China Sea and came to the human world alone... According to the records of the Li Palace and the court later, she said that when her father left, he forgot to give her a name." , and the name given to her by her elders in the same clan is too long, too ugly and too hard to remember, she doesn't like it very much, so she came to the human world to find her father and ask him to give herself a better name .”
"She just wants a name?"
"Yeah, so in those years she was called the Dragon Seeking Names again."
"Dragon?"
"Yes, since she landed in the South China Sea, she has destroyed many fishing villages and towns, killed many people, and even nearly caused chaos in the capital. You should know the following things. Master Wang Zhice planned to capture her, and then used that method to capture her. The formation imprisoned her under the Beixin Bridge."
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "That's not called design, that's called cheating."
Xu Yourong thought for a while, and said, "That's true."
Chen Changsheng said, "Why did Wang Zhice name her Zhu Sha?"
Xu Yourong noticed that when he mentioned Wang Zhice this time, he didn't add the word "adult" at the end, so he couldn't help smiling.
"No one knows why, but the name Mr. Wang Zhice chose must have a deep meaning."
She glanced at him, as if with deep meaning.
Chen Changsheng didn't pay attention, and asked, "Then how old is she now?"
"Equal the lifespan of the dragon clan to that of a human being, so she's probably one or two years younger than us?"
"Although I thought about it, it still feels a little strange... I always called her senior."
"Do you still want to rescue her now?"
"Yes."
"Even if she once committed heinous crimes?"
"You said that she is one or two years younger than us, so how old was she when she left the South China Sea and came to the human world? One or two years old?"
Chen Changsheng was quiet for a while, and said: "I don't know what happened in those fishing villages and towns back then, and I don't intend to defend her, but she was just a baby at that time, even if she committed a heinous crime, she is now imprisoned." Hundreds of years should be enough."
Xu Yourong thought about it seriously, and said softly: "It is indeed enough."
Chen Changsheng was very happy that she had the same views on this matter as him, but no matter how dull he was, he knew that his request was actually somewhat inappropriate, so instead of becoming elated, he became more cautious and his voice became softer. Many: "Can you help me?"
Xu Yourong looked at him and said seriously: "Of course, but except for the Holy Empress and His Majesty the Pope, who can disarm the formation left by Lord Wang Zhice?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head as he recalled the conversation he had with the Pope's uncle in the Li Palace after returning to the capital from the Zhou Garden.
Xu Yourong understood, and said: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I can think that the formation is not something we can break through now."
"We can't just wait like this. After many years, Beixin Bridge will not become a real bridge."
"That's not necessarily the case. The sea can turn into a mulberry field. The power of time is far stronger than we imagined."
