Tianwei Chapter 242: Dragon (7)
If my guess is true, then it will be difficult for us to help it. The old Taoist said: Although it does not have much power of immortality in its body, it is now all over its body. The power of Taoism... basically cannot... unless...
Unless? These two words were like a bamboo pole stretched out to a drowning man. I quickly grabbed it and asked: Unless what? What did you think of?
There are two ways. The old Taoist said: One is to send it to the dragon vein, use the dragon energy to suppress the power of the fairy and help it recover from its injuries. But again, if it absorbs too much dragon energy from the earth vein, it will be easily assimilated. Maybe the power of the fairy is suppressed, but we can only get back a piece of stone in the end.
What about the second one? I asked again.
Find something related to immortals, make her immortal power stronger, and completely defeat the dragon bloodline, said the old Taoist priest.
Huh? I was shocked: Didn’t you say that this would prevent her from transforming into a dragon?
At that time, she was no different from a human being, and could even be said to be a fairy in this world. The choice between a fairy and a dragon is not that difficult, the old Taoist said.
This... I couldn't help but look at Mr. Jiao. The method the old Taoist said sounded reliable, but I felt very awkward.
I just said that God's will is unfair, giving you things you don't want and taking away things you don't want to lose. Now I am asked to make a choice for Master Jiao, how is that different from the unfair will of God?
I looked at Jiao Ye, thought for a while, and asked her: Do you want to be a dragon? Or do you want to be an immortal?
Jiao Ye tilted her head, letting her golden hair fall from her ears. Her pair of white wings fluttered twice, and she made no sound, but she tightened her grip on my arms.
My heart warmed, but I couldn't stop sighing. In the end, I could only say to the Taoist priest: Take it easy and think about it. Anyway, even if there are changes, they won't happen in a day or two. But what are the things related to immortals? Immortal fruit?
Something like this. The old Taoist said: To increase the immortal power in her body, the immortal fruit is undoubtedly the best choice. However, we only found those few when the Heavenly Corpse Vein was all over the world, and it is not easy for us to find them. One or two, I don’t know if they are enough. As time goes by, the effect of the immortal fruit has also decreased.
I hummed and said, "That's it. I'll think about it first and tell you when I have an answer. If there's anything I need help with, you...
The old Taoist priest looked at me, turned around slowly, and walked towards the temple. As he left, he said: I will do my best to help you in the next few years.
I was stunned, and then I remembered that the old Taoist's life was coming to an end.
Sigh... I sighed again, my nose was sore. I always felt that the whole world was against me, and nothing was going well!
It was really a strenuous job to dress Jiao Ye. After being frightened and yelled at, and finally sprayed with saliva in her face, he finally managed to put on the Taoist robe.
The grey Taoist robe was a bit too big for her, and it hung down to the ground. I squatted down and tied the hem into a knot. Jiao Ye touched the clothes curiously, and when I looked up, I saw her spitting at the fabric. It looked like a dog coming up to you and sniffing you.
I patted her head helplessly and amusedly, and said: This is called clothes, you have to wear it, just like me. You can't take it off, well, you can't let it leave your body. And you are not allowed to eat it!
Jiao Ye looked at me with a confused look on his face. For her, the transformation into a human form was a change caused by immortal power, and her temperament and understanding of things were still at the level of a python.
Thinking about the little boy drooling at Mr. Jiao naturally makes my head hurt even more.
Leading Jiao Ye, who was curious and touching things all over, into the Taoist temple, he almost tripped and fell down after taking only two steps. He looked down and saw bricks and tiles all over the floor.
I was sweating profusely, and only now remembered that the lightning that occurred when Mr. Jiao transformed into a dragon had split my entire room into pieces.
At this time, the old Taoist walked out of the house, holding two quilts and handed them to me. Without even looking at the broken house, he just said: You can do whatever you want.
Let’s see… should we do it or not?
What should I do!
There are only three rooms in the Taoist temple. There is a small one at the back, but it is a toilet! What is a toilet? It is a place for pooping!
There is not a single person in the area of dozens of miles. If you really find a few bricklayers to work here, people will think you are planning to kidnap me. Do you want me to build a house myself? I might as well fill up the toilet with cement and sleep there...
Jiao Ye ran around in a pile of broken bricks and tiles as if she had discovered a new world. From time to time, she would look at the moon through the "panoramic skylight" in the room, holding her little head high, spitting out her tongue, and making a cheerful hissing sound.
Maybe kids all like messy places, but I don’t.
The house was split open, leaving only a pillar and half a wall. Because of the previous wind and rain, there was still a lot of accumulated water mixed in the soil.
I hugged the quilt and stood there stupidly, feeling that the world was so dark, and the old way was so dark...
That night, I had no choice but to crawl into the kitchen with my quilt in my arms, throw out the firewood and other things, and make room for sleeping.
Although she had turned into a human form, Jiao Ye still liked to sleep next to me. The funniest thing was that she thought she was a snake at first and tried to get into my pocket with her head arched. But then she finally realized that she couldn't get in because her head had become bigger, so she hissed angrily and nestled next to my hand.
Although I know she may be much stronger than me now, she has become a human after all. I am afraid that she will be cold again, so I hold her in my arms. Jiao Ye has been sleeping very fast since he was very young. He would be woken up by me shaking him, and he would lick my face a few times in a daze, and then fall asleep again.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly. After a sigh, I stroked her silky hair while thinking about the Taoist's words.
Using dragon energy to suppress immortal power may cause it to be assimilated by the dragon veins.
If you find something that can increase your magical power, you will never have anything to do with divine creatures like dragons.
Which one is better? Looking at Mr. Jiao sleeping soundly, I really don’t know which one to choose.
In fact, just like what the Taoist said, the answer to this multiple-choice question is very clear. But I feel awkward and don't want to make a decision for Jiao Ye. I can't sleep because of this contradiction. I can't help but think that maybe God is unfair because there are too many heart-wrenching choices. Instead of being embarrassed one by one , it's better to unify them all, at least I don't have to be embarrassed.
As I was thinking, I fell asleep in a daze.
I was extremely tired that day.
The next day, I woke up and subconsciously reached out to touch it, but it was empty. I was so scared that I turned over quickly, and Mr. Jiao was really gone.
I quickly put on my clothes, got up and ran out. As soon as I went out, I saw three figures running happily outside.
The boy Tiansheng was running in the front, Jiao Ye was in the middle, and the little beauty was at the end. They were running around the top of the mountain, having a lot of fun. I could hear the little beauty yelling, "Stop chasing me! Stop fighting me!"
In the center of their running circle, the old Taoist was practicing health-preserving boxing in a carefree manner. His movements were as smooth as flowing water, and he didn't even squint.
I ran over quickly, hugged Mr. Jiao who was about to run away from me, then grabbed the beautiful girl and asked: What happened?
How should I know? I heard a commotion outside when I woke up this morning and I just came out, said the beautiful girl.
I looked at Mr. Jiao and asked, "What's going on? Why are you chasing him?"
Mr. Jiao looked at me, then turned his head to look at Tiansheng, opened his mouth and said: Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss…
"Okay, okay, stop..." My ears were about to explode, so I quickly stuffed her tongue back into her mouth. Jiao Ye's voice stopped abruptly, she moved her mouth, looked at me, and suddenly bit my hand viciously.
Although she has a snake's tongue, the teeth in her mouth are real, and many of them are sharp. I remember a book I read before that said dragons eat meat...
This made me scream out in pain, and Jiao Ye opened his mouth, hissed twice, and pushed me with his hand. I was afraid that she would run after me again, so I had to bear the pain and hold her tightly, while shouting to Tiansheng: What's going on!
Why are you so loud? It's not certain whose fault it is! The little beauty scolded in a low voice.
I rolled my eyes and said, he is not your son, nor your man, so why are you protecting him?
Tiansheng was more than ten meters away from us. He looked at me, then at the little beauty, and said: I smelled her and licked her, and she chased me and bit me!
Smell? Lick...
Are you a dog? I was so angry that my legs were shaking. What a mess. The dragon doesn't look like a dragon, and the human... doesn't look like a human either. Am I an Earthling? Am I from Mars?
Okay, okay, it’s not a big deal, just sniff it twice… Jiao Ye struggled hard in my arms as if protesting, hissing continuously, I quickly hugged her tightly and continued to coax her: Okay, okay, he will sniff it next time…
As he was speaking, a head suddenly popped up from under the platform.
From my angle, I could just see him. He walked up slowly, tall and thin, with a smile on his face, like someone we knew. From a distance, he raised his hand and waved to us.
The old Taoist stopped his health-preserving boxing and looked at the visitor. He didn't ask any questions and just stood there quietly. The little beauty trotted two steps and stopped behind me.
I pulled Jiao Ye into her arms and said: Keep an eye on her.
Then he walked forward for a while, stood side by side with the old Taoist, and asked: Who are you?
Yang Tianyou? The man looked at me and spoke in a calm and natural voice.
Yes, it’s me, and you are... I asked again in confusion, is this person here to see me?
I went to Yuanling to look for you, but you were not there. Then I left because of something else. This person is the contemporary of the Five Elements Pulse...
Who are you? The old Taoist interrupted him.
The man chuckled, looked at me and said: According to blood relationship, I should be Tianyou's cousin.
Cousin... I suddenly felt thunder rumbling in the sky, and a burst of lightning flashed across the clear sky...
When did I have a cousin like this? How come I didn't know? God... am I really from Mars?
Wait... cousin? If we count the generations... he's from my mother's family?
Eight ropes!
Grandpa said, let me see how you are doing. Now it seems that you are doing well even if you are separated from home. "Cousin" said with a smile, looking very satisfied and relieved.
