This is the most noble life in the three thousand worlds, it is the coldest existence in the world, and it possesses indescribable power—except for those great monks who have surpassed the ordinary, how can small human beings stand in front of this black dragon? stop
No matter how determined Chen Changsheng was, he couldn't bear this ancient coercion. He pursed his lips tightly to prevent the sound of his teeth chattering, but he couldn't stop his body from trembling. Every bone seemed to be screaming. .
There was a muffled bang! He didn't kneel in front of the black dragon, but he couldn't stand either, he fell directly on the hard and cold ground, and fell extremely hard, his mind was a little dazed, he didn't think about the pain, he just kept repeating a few words in his heart .
"The legend is true!"
"There really is a dragon in the palace!"
"A most noble mysterious frost dragon!"
Before pushing open the heavy stone door, he thought of many possibilities.
He thought that the terrifying coercion behind the stone gate might be the old priest mentioned by Luoluo who has been in seclusion for more than a hundred years, or it might be the master formation of the palace. He even thought about it. It may be the skeleton left by a certain dragon, but I can't think of it...
There is actually a living dragon behind the stone gate!
After ancient times, it is difficult to see traces of dragons on the mainland. Those noble and powerful creatures are gradually turning into fetishes that only exist in books. No one has seen them with their own eyes. Chen Changsheng has imagined the appearance of dragons countless times. Want to see for yourself.
Tonight he finally saw it with his own eyes, but he would rather not see it in his life.
This black dragon was floating in the air in front of him at this moment, looking down at him from a height.
The brilliance sprinkled by the thousand night pearls on the dome is completely absorbed by the black scales on its body. The pure black dragon body is like a living abyss, which makes one's heart palpitating, but what is really terrifying is the black dragon's eyes, which are full of Meaning of indifference and cruelty.
Chen Changsheng understood the meaning of this look, it was a human child looking at the ants under the tree.
It was a kind of extraordinarily pure indifference and cruelty, which required no reason or reason.
Children can watch the ants under the tree for half an hour, and then trample them to death with the soles of their shoes.
This is the attitude of higher beings towards lowly ones.
Chen Changsheng finally understood the few words Mo Yu said before he left.
Yes, no one can leave the Tong Palace, because the birth gate of Tong Palace is under that cold pool.
The cold pool is the real dragon pool, where a huge black dragon lives, and any human being who encounters it will die.
It's just that Mo Yu didn't expect that he would have the courage, or be stupid enough to insist on walking in front of the black dragon.
The frost on Chen Changsheng's eyelashes suddenly fell, like snow on plum blossom petals being blown off by the wind.
There was a breeze in the underground space.
That's the black dragon ready to breathe.
Chen Changsheng knew that he would die in the next moment.
When he pushed open the stone door, he prepared a lot of countermeasures. Even if it was the secluded old priest from the Holy Land, he didn't think he would die. He believed that as long as he could communicate, he could change his destiny.
But behind the stone gate is a black dragon.
Legend has it that dragons are noble and powerful, but never benevolent.
Dragons don't know how to communicate with humans, and don't bother to communicate with humans, at least they don't bother to communicate with ordinary humans like him.
For this, he was not prepared.
He had prepared for death for many years, but now that death was really coming, he realized that he was still not ready.
It turns out that death is an unprepared thing.
The underground space was dead silent, and the light from the night pearl fell on him like snow.
He was a little cold, and suddenly felt very tired, knowing that doing anything else would be futile, so he no longer struggled to stand up, and he no longer even thought about what was going to happen. He raised his head and looked at the terrifying mountain-like bird in the air. Dragon head, calm and relieved.
"It seems that what Master said is not wrong, my life is really bad."
He didn't know if this black dragon could understand human language, but in his mind, even if such a noble creature could understand it, he wouldn't bother to listen, so he told the black dragon what he had never said to anyone before. out.
"I'm sick and can't be cured."
"I won't live past twenty."
"Master is the best doctor in the entire continent, and my medical skills are also good, but none of us can cure it."
"This disease is more incurable than a terminal illness, so it is not a disease, but a life."
"My life is not good."
"After I came to the capital, I spent a lot of effort and finally entered the National Education College and was qualified to participate in the Great Imperial Examination. Although it was still far away from Lingyan Pavilion, I took the first step there after all. When I met Luoluo, I thought my life was getting better."
"I didn't expect to meet you tonight."
"My life, it turns out it's still not good."
Chen Changsheng's face was a little pale, it was frozen by frost and severe cold, it had nothing to do with fear.
He is now fearless, even facing a legendary brutal black dragon.
He no longer cared whether the black dragon could understand what he said, or whether he was willing to listen to him.
He only knew that he was going to die soon, so if he didn't say these words, he would never have the chance to say them again.
"It is said that fate is destined, no matter how bad it is, it is impossible to change, but I am not reconciled."
A force he didn't know came from supported him to stand up. He looked up at the beautiful night pearls on the dome, squinting his eyes slightly, like a poor young animal looking at the first ray of sunshine in the morning, full of yearning with joy.
"I want to live, I want to live past twenty years, and then a hundred years old, or even five hundred years old, eight hundred years old, the longer I live, the better I can live forever... But first, I must live past twenty years old, so I live very carefully."
"I go to bed early and get up early every day. I exercise every day. I'm never picky eaters, but I never overeat. I don't eat oil or salt. That doesn't mean my personality, but that kind of food is healthy. I follow the requirements of the medical book , using small scales to measure meat and vegetables, never bothering me until I turned twelve years old, and turned all of these into instincts."
"I cherish time and spend all my time learning practice. I want to get in touch with the most wonderful wisdom as much as possible before the age of twenty, and I want to change my destiny through practice, so that I will have the opportunity after the age of twenty To see more wonderful scenery."
He looked at the black dragon and said: "Yes, all the things I do, all the rules I set for myself, are to live, and the most important thing to live is to live. I am willing to pay any price for this. The earth is alive."
The most important thing to live is to live, and for this reason I am living desperately—the cold underground space, the dark night in the distance, the fading brilliance of the dome, the boy before the black dragon, the calm and infinitely sad words, whoever may Will be moved.
The black dragon looked at the young boy with indifferent and cruel eyes, perhaps because it could not understand human language, but more because it didn’t care. The ant waved its forelimbs angrily and solemnly against the branches. In the eyes of the children who observed it, it would only be Appear funny or ridiculous.
Chen Changsheng no longer cared about the black dragon's reaction, he just wanted to talk, at the last moment of his life.
"It's really hard to change my fate. I've been really tired these years, but I want to live no matter how tired I am, because the pig head meat in Xining Town is sliced and dipped in red oil and rock salt. It's really delicious, because There are really a lot of interesting and interesting knowledge in the book, because life is really beautiful."
"I don't want to die, but I can't guarantee that I can live past the age of twenty. To be more precise, I don't have any confidence at all. I don't want the little girl who sent me bamboo dragonflies to become a widow, so I came to Kyoto , want to divorce, what happened?"
"Everyone who knows me thinks that I am precocious, not like a fourteen-year-old boy. They all say that I am stable, but they don't think about it... I am only five years away from death. I am young, but I have been half buried in the loess. Unsteady? But how can I be reconciled!?"
In the past few years, Chen Changsheng paid great attention to controlling his emotions, because great sorrow and great joy are not good for his health, but now he doesn't need anything, so he is no longer calm, he looks at the black dragon or the world and shouts angrily.
"I don't want to die."
"But now I'm dying."
"I am very depressed."
Chen Changsheng was very sad, his eyes were slightly red, he thought he would cry, but found that he had been controlling his emotions and refused to cry all these years, so that he no longer remembered how to cry, so he became even more sad, and then he calmed down unimaginably.
"Thank you for not eating me in one bite, although it may not be what you really think, but you let me finish these words, so I want to thank you. But I really want to live, so even if it is ridiculous, please Allow me to fight you one last time."
After saying the last sentence, he raised the dagger in his hand and faced the black dragon.
He thought silently in his heart: Death, come on!
Let's have a showdown.
Just like the past few years.
The black dragon slowly came towards him, and the cold hurricane echoed in the vast underground space. Its body was too huge, and just a slight movement was enough to change the color of the world.
An unimaginable cold fell on Chen Changsheng's body.
Frost hung on his eyelashes again, and the blood in his body seemed to be frozen.
Death is at hand.
He was calmer than ever, even relaxed.
Since he was ten years old, the shadow of death and the terrifying pressure that had been following him all of a sudden disappeared.
He was lighter and more comfortable than ever before, and felt that his body was much lighter without any pressure. It turned out to be such a beautiful feeling.
He finally realized how to overcome the fear of death? There is only death itself.
He laughed, and the frost on his eyelashes spread like white flowers.
Teacher, have you seen it
I want to change my destiny.
You said I would die at twenty.
Now I am not yet fifteen, and I am about to die.
Fate, it turns out, is not invincible.
