Tian Gang Chapter 151 Dragon (2)
The python is golden all over, with tiny gray patterns coiled around its body like decorations on a totem pole.
Its limbs have not yet fully grown, but are in their infancy. Surprisingly, it has five claws. But the five claws are only a few centimeters long, which makes it look like Doraemon...
Fortunately, this kind of monster has never been determined by rock-paper-scissors, but I still found it shocking.
The old Taoist said that the place where the dragon energy is still is where the Dragon Lord exists.
Could it be that this huge golden python is Lord Jiao?
This guy...what did he eat to become so fat?
I quickly retracted my gaze and told the Taoist everything I had seen.
After listening to my description, the old Taoist pondered for a moment and said: Although the dragon vein produces dragon energy, it is different from the energy of a real dragon. In its previous life, it was a red-spotted python of a different species that was about to transform into a dragon. Although it can absorb dragon energy, it will not grow so fast. It should be a mutation caused by the golden bone fragment.
Is it good or bad? I asked.
“Neither good nor bad,” the old Taoist priest replied.
What kind of answer is this...
The old Taoist priest then gave an explanation: If it really grew so fast, it meant that the power of the mutation was very strong, which made it deviate from the path of ordinary pythons turning into dragons. In addition, the Qinling dragon veins had earth energy, which could strengthen its body, but also made its chances of turning into a dragon in the future even slimmer.
Huh? With the help of dragon energy or something, shouldn't it be easier? I really don't understand.
A solid armor can protect you from harm, but it is not easy to break it from the inside. Unless someone helps you take off the armor. And this is the chance for the future. If you meet someone, you can turn into a dragon. If you don't meet someone, you can only be a dragon for the rest of your life. The old Taoist explained.
Now I understand what he said, but I don't care whether Mr. Jiao can turn into a dragon or not. Turning into a dragon is not an easy thing, and it may take a thousand or eight hundred years. I am not a monster, how can I live that long? I am destined not to see Mr. Jiao turn into a dragon.
So how do we get it out? According to the previous estimate, it is more than 50,000 meters underground. It is difficult for me to dig such a deep hole even if the world's top scientists gather together.
This made me even more confused as to how Mr. Jiao got down there. Did he just happen to come across an underground crack that led to that place?
According to what you said, it has fallen into deep sleep and will not be able to wake up in a short time. This place is a water level, I can use the Five Elements Dao to stir up some power to wake it up, but this may destroy its growth, said the old Taoist priest.
Uh... I was a little surprised. After thinking about it, I decided not to bring it up. Anyway, as long as Mr. Jiao is alive, I will be fine. The dragon vein 50,000 meters deep underground is obviously much safer than the mortal world.
But if time is long, maybe it will be assimilated by the dragon vein, the old Taoist continued.
What would happen then?
There is a discipline in the secular world called physics. I met an old man who was good at this. He used a scientific method to tell me what cultivation is. The old Taoist said: The so-called cultivation is to regard oneself as a molecular combination, and the external forces, such as the five elements, can be regarded as a collection of molecules. Cultivation is to strengthen oneself and strengthen oneself with faith, so as to achieve a state of integration with external molecules without being assimilated.
I don’t understand… I’m a little mad. It’s ok that I don’t understand cultivation, but now I even fail in physics…
You can easily swing your own arms. But other people's arms will resist you. Cultivation is to make power a part of yourself. If you are not strong, there are two possibilities. One is that you cannot merge with the power. The other is that the power is beyond your control and assimilates you into it. The undertaker is like the second one.
You mean, if the external force is too strong, your body will turn into the same molecules as it and then dissipate?
That's about it. The Taoist nodded.
Dragon Vein... Lord Jiao...
No matter how you compare it, Master Jiao is obviously no match for the Qinling Dragon Vein. If what the old Taoist said is true, then Master Jiao is becoming more and more powerful and is also gradually becoming a part of the Dragon Vein. Maybe those golden dragon scale stones I saw are some assimilated beasts or practitioners.
How could you be friends with someone like that... And there are people who specialize in this? I was a little stunned.
Some people do not believe in ghosts and gods, so they naturally do not study them. And some people believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, so why don’t they study them? The old Taoist priest asked me in return, saying: I met that person by chance, there is nothing strange about it.
Okay...so what you mean is that we still have to get it up, even if it means destroying its growth.
The old Taoist shook his head and said: There is destiny from above. It is destiny to let it come up, and it is also destiny to let it turn into a dragon vein. Your decision is its destiny.
What a mess... My mind was confused by what the Taoist said. The only thing I understood was that if I didn't want Mr. Jiao to die, I had to get it out of the dragon vein.
The answer to this question is obvious. I clapped my hands and rolled up my sleeves: Tell me, how do we do it?
The Taoist priest gave me a gentle push with one hand, and then drew the empty rune with both hands at the same time. These were two almost identical runes, with only very subtle differences. If I didn't know the Taoist priest's background, I might have thought that he drew the wrong pattern because of his shaking hands.
The two spells flashing with light blue light were completed very quickly. When the last stroke was completed, the old Taoist clapped his hands together and shouted: "The five elements of heaven and earth, the water spirits appear! Command the rivers and seas, the orders come out!"
After the two empty symbols merged into one, they looked different from before. I was surprised to find that this was a token that was winding like a dragon. The ends of the runes that had originally deviated to the left or right were now connected together.
The old Taoist chanted a spell, and the talisman turned into a light blue light with a comet-like tail, and sank into the ground.
At first, the old Taoist just stood there, with his fingers slightly bent as if he was chanting a spell. As time passed, his expression gradually became serious, and there was a hint of sweat on his forehead.
I was very worried, afraid that he couldn't hold on and that Mr. Jiao couldn't save him.
At this time, the old Taoist shouted loudly, and at the same time, he kept changing the seals in his hands: Heaven commands, and the gods assist! Please ask the Northern Water Virtue Lord to pass the law, and hurry up and obey the law!
Not long after the old Taoist chanted this spell, the ground began to shake slightly.
I was so frightened that my whole soul was beating fast. Could this cause some kind of dragon to ascend to heaven and cause a huge commotion?
My worry didn't last long, the old Taoist suddenly withdrew his seal and pulled me back quickly. Just when we retreated not far, there was a loud "bang" a hundred meters away.
A thick column of water shot up into the sky. In that direction, the sun was high in the sky, so bright that it was hard to see straight. But I could still vaguely see a conspicuous golden color in the water column.
That golden color emanates from the body, like light.
"Ang!" A dragon roar was heard, and the water column dispersed, turning into smoke that began to float in the air.
In the misty white air, I saw a golden figure winding and swimming. It was only a few dozen meters long, but it gave people an extremely majestic feeling. It was as if what you saw was an ancient dragon that was tens of millions of miles long.
It seems that it has indeed changed, the old Taoist said.
I know without it telling me that if this thing that is dozens of meters long is a dragon, I would be really worried.
With Mr. Jiao's temperament, he was able to find me from thousands of miles away when he was in the Du Sheng Mai. Now after a great tonic, his ability has greatly increased. Even if I go abroad, I'm afraid he can swim over .
A small snake about a foot long can be considered a pet, but if it is dozens of meters long...
I will be humanely destroyed...
The smoke completely dissipated, and the golden figure gradually emerged. However, when I saw it clearly, I was surprised to find that Jiao Ye was lying on the ground, shaking his head and looking at me. Its body was still only about one foot long, but the color of its body had turned completely golden.
So what did I just see...
I looked at the old Taoist in surprise. He thought for a moment and explained: The dragon energy in the earth's veins is too powerful for it to be completely absorbed. Therefore, the excess dragon energy absorbed into the body will pass through the body and turn into a virtual image. This is also a manifestation of assimilation.
It was... a false alarm.
I breathed a sigh of relief and just as I turned my head, a small golden figure rushed towards me.
The dragon skillfully wrapped its body around my neck, made a circle around itself, and then licked my face affectionately. It squinted its eyes and rubbed its head against me.
Seeing its silly look, I couldn't help laughing. I took it off its neck, held it in both hands, and asked: " Are you full?"
Dragon Qi is a tonic, and it is said to be able to open the wisdom of ordinary animals. Mr. Jiao is very spiritual, and now he is even more humane.
When I asked, it shook its head and immediately fell into my palm, then used its tail to slowly scrape its belly again and again. It looked like a person constantly massaging his belly after a full meal.
I was amused by it and tickled its chin with my index finger. Mr. Jiao massaged his belly and squinted his eyes in enjoyment.
Well, now it is a combination of cat, dog and snake...
I was relieved to see Master Jiao come back alive from underground. While teasing Master Jiao, I asked the Taoist priest: So, should we go back to Wuxing Temple now?
The old Taoist priest hummed and pulled me away.
At this moment, a door suddenly lit up not far away, and several figures ran out of the door in a very embarrassed manner.
I was horrified to see a ghost claw sticking out from the door and grabbing at a few people. The claw was ridiculously large, several meters long, with black smoke billowing from it, which made people shudder.
The black portal disappeared in the blink of an eye after the few people ran away, and the ghost claw had no choice but to retract it. Faintly, I heard a heavy roar coming from behind the door, like a human voice, but also like a monster.
What surprised me most was that the Taoist priest and I both knew the people who ran out.
It was Tao Tiansong and others who cooperated with the undertaker but did not appear in the underworld!
