Chapter 788 A White Dragon [Happy New Year! ]

The land of Wu and Yue in ancient books.

There are two things that are the best in the world.

Ancient sword and dragon.

However, the Spring and Autumn Period and the pre-Qin period have long passed, and the ancient mythological era is even more impossible to verify.

The ancient Wu and Yue land, which was once filled with foul smells and evil things, has now become the elegant Jiangnan mentioned by Luoyang literati, and is home to the wealthy Yangzhou.

Ancient swords may still be excavated from the tombs of nobles in the pre-Qin period, but the dragon has long been extinct. Many people even think that the so-called dragon is just a mythical totem fabricated by our ancestors, and the real thing may be something else that will greatly disappoint people.

Are there really dragons and people who can slay them in the world?

Perhaps in the world today, there are still some ancient records of various Qi-refining forces that inherited the Taoist tradition from the pre-Qin period, and there are still some people willing to believe it.

Perhaps the ignorant children in every household in the Wu and Yue regions, after being skillfully frightened by the adults who had been deceived once, also firmly believed that there were giant dragons in the water that ate children at night.

However, just like the ancient mythological era is long gone, the fact is, except for a few undoubtedly mythical swords, the myths have long gone. The same is true for mythical creatures such as dragons. Like many mythical monsters, they have become extinct. These amphibious behemoths are no longer seen in the world.

The third year of Tianyou in the Great Zhou Dynasty, on July 15th of the Jiachen year, was an era when myths were about to become extinct and an era when secular imperial power was exceptionally strong.

Rong Zhen, a female official of the Imperial Observatory, Song Ma, the deputy director, Yi Qianqiu, the commander of the White Tiger Guard, and their 72 female officials and 1,881 armored soldiers, witnessed with their own eyes a real dragon almost climbing up to the hundred-meter-high Buddha on the bank of Xunshui River on the north bank of Shuangfengjian.

On this day, the myth came again.

……

Just as everyone on the North Shore was witnessing the myth.

On a cliff at the south peak on the south bank, everyone who had gathered by escaping through the earth had already turned their gaze away from the place on the north bank where the white dragon appeared.

Yuan Huaimin was stunned. He had only seen such a horrible creature as the evil dragon in picture books. Who could have imagined that such a thing really existed in reality.

Is this something that the mortal body can resist?

Yuan Huaimin suddenly understood why Mr. Wu had been so calm and composed since he came to him.

I also understood why only three or four people including Xue Zhongzhu and Wei Shaoqi came this time.

Yunmeng Jianze's opening move... didn't require too many people.

"Your Majesty has made a great move today."

On the side, Wu Daozi clapped his hands and laughed.

Xue Zhongzhu had no expression on his face.

Although the evil dragon had been released as planned, she still seemed to be in a bad mood.

The great lady tightly grasped the bronze sword in her hand.

Wei Shaoqi and Du Shuqing seemed to exchange glances.

Du Shuqing took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Wei Shaoqi, then turned and walked to an open space nearby, found a place, and sat down on the ground.

Wei Shaoqi reminded in a gentle voice: "Your Excellency, the eldest lady, it's time to start. It's time."

Xue Zhongzhu reluctantly threw the bronze sword towards Du Shuqing.

Du Shuqing didn't dare to touch the sword. The bronze sword seemed to be caught by an invisible hand and was suspended in the air in front of Du Shuqing.

Du Shuqing slowly closed his eyes, and a light blue aura flashed across his palms, as if it was being transmitted to the bronze sword in front of him.

The spiritual energy that Du Shuqing sent in was not much, as he himself was of low-grade cultivation. He sent the spiritual energy like a bronze sword, which was more symbolic. At the same time, all over the Tiannan Jianghu, in various secret or safe places, various heroes meditated, took out Yunmeng Orders, and began to send spiritual energy. The trickles of water gathered into rivers. The massive amount of spiritual energy combined was far more than that of Du Shuqing or even the eldest daughter Xue Zhongzhu. No one knew where they flowed to through the Yunmeng Order, nor where they were used by the Yunmeng Order.

At this moment, almost at the same time when Du Shuqing closed his eyes, the white dragon that suddenly emerged from the water on the north bank of the mountain suddenly straightened its cold eyes and rushed towards the main cave...

At the edge of the cliff, Wu Daozi glanced at the bronze sword in front of Du Shuqing that served as the center of the formation and praised him:
"It really needs someone to keep an eye on it. This thing is too powerful and brutal, and it can easily get out of control."

At this moment, the white dragon at the foot of the mountain had clearly already taken action, causing chaos on the north bank, but the three people on the top of the mountain were not in a hurry at all and even had time to chat leisurely.

"Ahem." Wei Shaoqi covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed hard. This should have been a critical moment for action, but the middle-aged scholar glanced at Xue Zhongzhu, who had a bad face, and suddenly asked:

"Is the eldest lady worried? Ever since the second lady came and left, the eldest lady seems to be absent-minded."

Wu Daozi glanced sideways and asked, "Where is the second lady?"

Xue Zhongzhu waved her hand: "There is something that needs her to handle. I will go back to Jianze first. We are enough for today. We don't need her to come, and it won't affect our actions."

Wu Daozi pointed down the mountain and said, "Isn't this dragon from your ladyship?"

"It belongs to my seventh junior sister."

Wu Daozi was surprised:
"Mister Yue Chuzi? She is so young, has she already reached the level of a top-grade dragon girl?"

Xue Zhongzhu didn't know what he was thinking about, and he looked at the bronze sword with a somewhat surprised expression.

Wei Shaoqi then asked, "Is the matter that the Second Lady went to deal with related to Your Majesty Yue Chuzi of your clan? So Your Majesty the First Lady is in a bad mood?"

Xue Zhongzhu was silent for a moment, stared at the mountain for a while, and said in a cold voice:

"For one thing, there is still an arrogant boy shouting here today. If it weren't for Seventh Junior Sister, I would not tolerate him."

"who?"

"A man called Ouyang Lianghan."

At this moment, not only the unknown Yuan Huaimin's expression changed, but Wei Shaoqi also looked surprised.

Du Shuqing, who seemed to be sitting cross-legged and controlling the white dragon, also opened his eyes temporarily and looked at Wei Shaoqi.

Obviously they all know each other.

Only Wu Daozi looked calm and asked:

"He is related to Yue Chuzi?"

Xue Zhongzhu said calmly, "There is an evil fate. The Seventh Junior Sister was once his child bride."

Wei Shaoqi and the others tilted their heads in surprise. Yuan Huaimin frowned and thought carefully. He suddenly realized something, but no one was paying attention to him at this time. Wei Shaoqi asked:
"How did Ouyang Lianghan offend Her Excellency the Grand Duchess? It's a matter of the palace."

"No. Besides, I'm not angry. I just think his nonsense is boring."

"Oh? What did he say?"

Xue Zhongzhu said calmly, "This kid was talking nonsense after getting drunk, saying that he was the owner of the Butterfly Love Flower, and even asked Second Junior Sister to tell me to know the situation."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Wei Shaoqi and Du Shuqing, who knew Ouyang Rong, looked at each other.

Wei Shaoqi suddenly laughed dumbly and shook his head.

Du Shuqing also sighed softly, as if he didn't expect that after not seeing him for such a long time, the outstanding peer he remembered would fall into such a confused and angry state... The dull young man who was familiar with the terrain of Xunyang continued to close his eyes.

Yuan Huaimin frowned slightly, as if he was remembering something. He suddenly looked towards the woods below the mountain where a blue arc had just risen, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Wu Daozi suddenly waved his hand at him to stop the student.

The squinting old man smiled at the candle in the snow and said:

"Indeed, outsiders may not know who the owner of Butterfly Love Flower is, but the eldest lady and your clan know it better than anyone else. He has impersonated the wrong person and made a fool of himself." Xue Zhongzhu turned her head immediately and saw the familiar strange smile on Wu Daozi's face. She frowned in dissatisfaction, and a snow-white sword energy emerged from the long sword behind her, gradually spreading around, and the grass and trees were cut off one after another.

She said coldly:
"I will say this one last time. The owner of the Butterfly Love Flower has nothing to do with me or my sect. On the contrary, I will settle accounts with him."

Wu Daozi, who was originally joking, immediately stopped smiling and spoke seriously this time:
"Really unrelated? Then there is one thing that is a coincidence."

"What's the matter?"

Xue Zhongzhu asked in a cold voice. The snow-white sword energy around her showed no signs of stopping and enveloped the tall body. It seemed that the eldest lady wanted to use this momentum to accumulate some kind of power in one go!

Wu Daozi pointed down the mountain and said:

"In the morning, the owner of the Butterfly Love Flower showed up once, drew his sword, and attacked the Buddha... He is really in Xunyang."

Xue Zhongzhu frowned and stared at Wu Daozi who was narrating slowly. He watched for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.

The next moment, the sword energy around her seemed to have accumulated to the extreme, like an arrow on a string that had to be shot.

The snow-white long sword carried on Xue Zhongzhu's back first soared into the sky and went straight into the clouds.

She turned her head abruptly, put this doubt behind her, and said to Wei Shaoqi, Du Shuqing and others:

"The girl wearing the jade hairpin, you will have to sacrifice your cultivation and keep your life! All the other fake Zhou lackeys will be crushed to death."

The next moment, the tall blonde lady shot into the air like a scallion pulled up from dry land, and her speed was even faster than the long sword that had been launched into the air before.

The snow-white sword was slowly slowing down and reaching the highest point. Just as it was about to fall, it merged with the tall and furious blonde lady.

The next moment, from the thousand-foot-high clouds, a man and a sword fell together, and the snow-white sword energy rushed towards the Donglin Buddha like a comet with a tail...

"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Why don't you take the sword?"

On the mountain top where the Queen left, Wu Daozi suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Wei Shaoqi immediately looked serious and asked, "Mr. Wu, when can I see you again?"

The squinty-eyed old man didn't answer, but spread out a painting with a calm face.

Yuan Huaimin had sharp eyes and discovered that it was the newly painted landscape painting of Shuangfengjian.

The old man turned around and casually handed Wei Shaoqi a scroll of Peach Blossom Spring paintings.

The sick middle-aged scholar looked solemn, bowed and saluted:
"Thank you sir for the sword."

The old man ignored her, turned around, put his hands behind his back and walked into the painting to meet an old friend.

……

The white dragon seemed to have walked out of the painting of the most exquisite painter in the world.
The whole body is snow-white, lifelike, and the vertical pupils are lively.

The twisting huge body exudes a wild and ancient atmosphere.

When it came out of the water, the water column it stirred up was nearly a thousand feet high, the white fog was broken, the river water fell like rain, and there were "fish" falling.

The carp that flew up into the sky with the river water fell to the ground one after another, or hit the armor of the soldiers on the shore, splashing blood and scales.

However, the shock caused by this rain on the north bank of Shuangfeng Peak was far less than that caused by the white dragon itself.

The white dragon appeared suddenly, and with an angry roar, the earth shook.

It turned and rushed towards the giant Buddha with kind eyes on the cliff of the cave in front of it.

Its huge body crushed boats and ferry bridges along the way. The unlucky female officials or soldiers along the way were crushed into mud, just like mosquitoes slapped against the wall in summer. Looking down from the high vantage point of the insect girl, they saw blooming mosquito blood beads.

Words like land dragon and power of dragon and elephant are unable to describe the destructive power displayed by the white dragon.

It broke through the defense line on the north bank with great force and rushed straight to the main cave deeper in the cave with a dome to shelter from the rain. It was also the high platform where Rong Zhen, Nanny Song, Yi Qianqiu and others were located.

It is obvious that this white dragon was released by the rebels in the Tiannan underworld, and its target is directly aimed at the Donglin Buddha!

"Array up!"

Yi Qianqiu was the first to come to his senses. He suddenly took off his armor, shouted loudly, jumped on his horse, and went forward to form the team.

This loud shout woke up the confused crowd.

Wei Wu's mouth was dry and his face was solemn. He turned around and gathered all the people to resist.

Below the stage, Nanny Song, who had originally sneered in disdain, was stunned for a moment, then stared at the white dragon with an uncertain expression, observing the power and reality of this thing.

On the stage, Rong Zhen was dressed in purple, with a petite figure, her head held high and her pink lips pursed into a thin line. The mandarin duck jade hairpin in her hand had been reinserted into her hair since some point in time. Her three thousand black hair was tied up into a high bun like a palace. Not many people noticed it.

At this moment, Rong Zhen began to understand the meaning of the sentence on the Yunmeng Order: "If you fight with the evil dragon for too long, your body will turn into an evil dragon."

However, facing this huge monster she had never imagined, she did not retreat an inch. Instead, she clutched her Buddhist beads tightly, took a step forward, puffed up her cheeks, and stared fiercely at the white dragon:

"Don't be stupid, help Commander Yi to stop it! So what if it's a dragon? Activate the formation, I will kill this evil beast today!"

The voice of the girl in purple palace dress is as cold as frost.

Everyone reacted immediately and followed the original plan, guarding the platform and protecting Rong Zhen, who was holding Buddhist beads and glowing with golden light in the center.

Right in front of the main cave, Yi Qianqiu led the White Tiger Guard cavalry to line up, ready to meet the evil dragon.

Even though the White Tiger Guards and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory were well-trained and elite soldiers, they were still a little panicked when faced with the white dragon coming towards them.

However, Yi Qianqiu took the lead and alleviated some of the emotions. When everyone saw her back, their morale was immediately boosted.

However, when the two sides collided, people and horses were still thrown to the ground.

Yi Qianqiu flew backwards, and Bai Jiao made a bloody path among the crowd of soldiers as if he was shaking off an ant.

Nanny Song's nose trembled with anger, and she screamed loudly: "The evil beast is seeking death."

Immediately, purple air rose up and rushed towards the white dragon. When it got closer, it suddenly turned. The purple air around it was like a knife, cutting across the back of the white dragon's neck, and flew towards its abdomen which was raised in pain, as if looking for some weak scales.

The white dragon felt pain, raised its neck high and cried out.

Nanny Song's body was very small compared to it, and she was able to fly flexibly in the air and avoid head-on collisions.

The white dragon was so huge that it was difficult to move around and eat it. However, the next moment, the enraged white dragon's eyes suddenly flashed purple, as if its cold and clear color had returned. It turned its head and ignored Nanny Song, continuing to rush towards the giant Buddha and the platform at its feet.

Nanny Song's face turned pale slightly, but she continued to rush forward, intending to harass her.

At this moment, a cold laugh from a woman with stiff and elegant speech was heard, echoing throughout the venue.

"Old dog, your head belongs to me, don't give it away."

I saw a long snow-white rainbow rising from the South Peak, first entering the sky, then descending from the sky, and crashing into the high platform of the main cave like a comet.

Nanny Song's face suddenly changed, and she immediately changed direction and went forward from the bottom to the top.

The snow-white comet and the purple light ball suddenly collided.

The next moment, dazzling light shone everywhere.

The whole audience was temporarily blinded.
