boom! boom! boom!

The dark pool of water turned into a surging mist in an instant, surging upward like a galloping horse.

The entire roof of the huge underwater palace was washed away in an instant, as if it had been split open.

Those dragon pillars that seemed to stand between heaven and earth were now shattered and collapsed, and were carried away by the violent water.

The violent water column continued to roll after it came out of the water, bursting the top of the entire huge main tomb chamber and causing falling rocks.

Not only that, the entire ground palace in Galan City was shaking slightly, as if an earthquake had occurred.

In the darkness, the empress who was dozing with frowning brows opened her eyes. Her dark eyes were like an abyss, and the depth could not be seen.

Almost at the same time, Jing'e also stood up with his brows tightly furrowed.

A huge hole appeared in the vast water at this time, and in the center of the hole, the dragon head of the ghost dragon was nailed to the ground by the Haoyu Sword.

The Haoyu Sword is not long enough, but its sword energy is enough.

The huge dragon head, as big as a truck head, opened its huge mouth and dragon blood rolled out, as if ink was poured into clear water.

It tried to struggle out, but failed.

Gu Jiu stood on the dragon's head. Although he was very small, he was as heavy as Mount Tai, pressing the dark dragon to death.

He looked at the disgusting fleshy whiskers on the dragon's body, his eyes filled with disgust.

A moment later, Gu Jiu suddenly looked up and found that the huge human-shaped wooden statue covered with fleshy whiskers had sunk.

Youlong seemed to have sensed something and, completely ignoring his own injuries, pulled his head out of the sword energy, and blood gushed out like rain.

Gu Jiu stretched out his hand, and the Haoyu Sword, which was filled with brilliant sword light, flew back into his hand.

At this moment, Gu Jiu felt as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city, as the huge dragon's tail swept over him like a devastating force.

Gu Jiu still did not retreat, but raised his sword and slashed.

This sword did not emit a majestic sword energy. The sword energy only diffused in the sword body and did not overflow, so both he and the sword looked very small.

The huge dragon's tail swept over and collided with the Haoyu Sword, bringing out countless exploding sparks.

Gu Jiu gritted his teeth and stomped on the ground hard. The solid stone surface immediately shattered like a spider web.

Even after suffering such an attack, Gu Jiu still did not retreat!

To slay a dragon, the first thing you need is momentum!

Chapter 52: Strange Tales from the Early Tang Dynasty (Part )

When a vibration sound came from the direction of Galan City in the middle of the night, Su Ying was reading with a complicated expression on her face.

When Gu Jiu left, she felt uneasy, so she prepared to find a book to read.

But at this time, even the academic master Su Ying could not bear to read those serious books of sages. As a result, she found a leisure book in the guest room of Galan Temple.

The name of this casual book is "Strange Tales of the Early Tang Dynasty". The paper used for reading is not very old, so it should not be an ancient book.

In this day and age where antiques are fetching exorbitant prices, there certainly wouldn't be a single valuable ancient book here.

This book "Strange Tales of the Early Tang Dynasty" is very rough in terms of both paper quality and printed fonts. It can be seen that it was produced by a small workshop and should not be presentable. However, it did not prevent Su Ying from reading it.

The book is called "Strange Tales of the Early Tang Dynasty" and begins with a story about Jiangnan in the early days of the Tang Dynasty.

The Jiangnan region is a place of beautiful scenery and spring-like weather all year round, so naturally there are many writers and poets.

Those scholars dressed in light clothes and traveled around with their handsome servants. From time to time, they wrote some poems that Gu Jiu thought were nonsense, and they looked very coquettish.

This is also the origin of the word "sao ke".

Thinking of the women who wrote poetry in thin clothes, their hips raised when they bent over to write, and the ravines on their chests, Gu Jiu once thought that the person who created this word was a genius.

In such a place, opera is naturally indispensable.

The people in the south of the Yangtze River are wealthy and have a relatively stable life, so listening to opera after dinner is a common occurrence, unlike the people in the north who treat listening to an opera as if it were New Year's Day.

For example, when Gu Jiu attended an opera for the first time, he actually encountered a ghost.

Because there are so many people who like to listen to opera, there are many opera troupes in Jiangnan, and the types of opera evolved are endless.

As long as you are in Jiangnan, if you have money you can find high-brow opera; if you have no money and no artistic pursuits, you can also find folk opera that suits your taste.

The story of "Strange Tales of the Early Tang Dynasty" begins with an alien opera troupe.

The local opera troupes in Jiangnan already have a rich variety of performances and superb skills, and have completely monopolized the market among dignitaries and ordinary people. It is difficult for foreign opera troupes to compete with them.

However, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, that is, two thousand years ago, the Shuiyun Opera brought by the Bin family broke this pattern and became the most popular opera troupe in Jiangnan.

According to legend, the Bin family came from overseas, and few people know their background, but their opera is indeed unique.

The name of Shuiyun Opera sounds elegant, but in fact it is not.

Every time they perform, they put on extremely scary makeup, and the entire show is silent, only dancing.

Their dance is also morbid and twisted. It doesn't seem like a dance, but some kind of weird sacrifice.

But for some reason, all the guests who have seen the opera are full of praise for it, but if you ask them to explain what is so good about it, they can't say for sure.

If such a strange thing happened in the current Tang Dynasty, it would definitely attract attention. However, at that time, the Tang Dynasty was just established and the national strength was not so strong. In fact, Jiangnan was controlled by some large sects of cultivation. Although it was temporarily free from the invasion of ghosts and monsters, no one would care about such things.

So the Bin family gradually gained a foothold in Jiangnan, but strangely, their entire family never interacted with outsiders.

When they perform, they put on strange and exaggerated makeup, and it is difficult to tell the difference between men and women. When they are not performing, they live deep in the courtyard with high walls, and basically have no contact with outsiders. They don't even have the most ordinary marriages.

The number of people in such families has not decreased, which means that they are not stealing people, but are producing and selling their own products.

This kind of self-production and self-sales is naturally contrary to the secular world, and some curious people began to try to explore the secrets of the Bin family.

If you can dig out some explosive information, you will definitely make a fortune.

After all, the Bin family has become a prominent family in the local area thanks to the income from opera.

One night, a thief took advantage of his excellent martial arts skills and sneaked into the Bin family's house at night.

But when she entered the Bin family's house, she didn't see anyone.

The Bin family's house was silent at night, without even a candle. The thief once thought he had entered a tomb.

Then not long after, she heard the baby crying.

It was normal to hear a baby crying at night, but it made her feel creepy when it happened in the Bin family's house.

This thief was also very brave. He had made a bet with his friends before that he must find out whether the Bin family produced and sold their own products. So he went to the place where the baby was crying.

It was a thatched hut, looking somewhat old in the night.

The thief followed the sound and went in, and was almost scared to death.

Because there was no baby in it, but a big pool of water.

The water in the pond was green with some duckweed floating on it. When she got closer, she was surprised to find that there were many small bamboo baskets at the bottom of the pond.

These bamboo baskets were very narrow, less than half a person's width, but there were green things wriggling inside.

These monsters look like human babies, but their bodies are covered with wrinkles, making them look extremely terrifying.

The thief was so scared that he ran out of the Bin family compound and fell ill that night.

In a daze, she wrote down what she saw and then fell ill in bed.

That night, she dreamed that she was trapped in a narrow cage, surrounded by turquoise water.

She didn't know why she could breathe freely in the water, but the feeling of being stuck in the bamboo cage made her very painful.

This nightmare repeated itself without a moment's pause until her death, tormenting her almost to the point of madness.

Her story made her friends think she was crazy.

Within two months, the thief died of illness.

The very next day after the thief died of illness, her body disappeared.

As for where he went, no one knows.

Her friends who knew the situation couldn't help but wonder, could it be that her dream had become reality and was now being kept in Bin's pool?

And then many years later, when you grow up, you become a member of the Bin family and perform the Shuiyun Opera on the stage?

Decades later, the Bin family suddenly suffered a fire, leaving nothing behind but this bizarre story.

Su Ying finished reading this story in the ancient temple in the middle of the night. She felt her hair stand on end, as if she had just gone to Jiangnan and listened to a strange opera at the Bin family.

This book is so rough that the story is naturally difficult to verify. It is usually fabricated by the author, but Su Ying read a real sense of horror between the lines.

She even saw the thief struggling in the bamboo cage.

This rather thrilling little story really helped the restless Su Ying pass the time.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt a not-so-violent vibration.

She couldn't help but walk out of the house, looking in the direction of Galan City, and murmured: "Xiaojiu, is that you?"

Su Ying didn't notice that there was a dark shadow at the corner of the guest room, like a ghost seeking revenge.

Chapter 53: Sword Flying to the Sky

At the bottom of the water tomb, the huge dragon's tail came like a tidal wave, quickly submerging Gu Jiu's body.

Gu Jiu did not retreat a single step, his feet seemed to have taken root on the ground, and he withstood the attack.

The water in the pool roared and flew out, turning into white rainbows. Gu Jiu stood there, and the stone slabs under his feet shattered into pieces, all the way to deep underground.

At this time, the fleshy whiskers on the dragon's tail rushed towards Gu Jiu like crazy.

Gu Jiu flicked his finger on the Haoyu Sword, and the diffuse green sword energy suddenly rolled out, rolling the meat whiskers into pieces like a rolling knife.

The terrifying power of the dragon's tail had not stopped at this time. Gu Jiu roared and slashed with the Haoyu Sword.

There was a crisp sound, like the sound of vegetables on the chopping board being cut by a kitchen knife.

The blood from the dark dragon's tail suddenly flew out, and because it was cut too thinly by the sword energy, it formed a fan shape.

Gu Jiu strikes with one sword and kills the dragon’s tail!

The Youlong let out a sharp roar and swam to the side, while Gu Jiu's eyes were cold and his whole body was filled with sword intent.

He only felt that the great righteousness in his body was constantly flowing out, so that his clothes became extremely cold and hard, looking like the sharp edge of a sword.

Just as Youlong was about to leave, Gu Jiu leaped up like a startled wild goose and then suddenly fell down.

Countless ripples appeared in the air, which were traces left by Gu Jiu's body hitting the air.

He raised his hands high, holding the buzzing White Feather Sword, and slashed down!

No, it's more like a chop than a cut.

At this moment, it seemed that what Gu Jiu held in his hand was no longer a sword, but an axe.

And his aura became extremely fierce at this moment, like a giant holding an axe to split the sky.

This is the simplest jump attack, but it is no longer simple when performed by Gu Jiu.

There was another swish sound, a crisp one.

The sharp sword edge broke through the solid dragon scales and penetrated into the body of the ghost dragon.

Immediately afterwards, the sword energy overflowing from the sword edge suddenly surged and exploded in the dragon's body.

Dragon scales and flesh whiskers flew out, and many blood holes suddenly appeared on the dragon's body, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

At this time, the ghost dragon was covered with wounds. There was a huge gash on its head, its tail was cut off, and now even its body was full of holes.

The flesh and blood were still wriggling in the places where the dragon scales had fallen off. It looked like some kind of terrible skin disease and was a bit disgusting.

The dark dragon rolled over and tried to run away, but just when Gu Jiu drew out the Haoyu Sword and was ready to pursue and kill the opponent, he suddenly heard a sharp sword sound.

Gu Jiu's ears moved slightly, and he lunged forward without hesitation.

Then a series of low "dong dong dong" sounds were heard.

The huge human-shaped wooden block sank again, and the flesh whiskers on its body stretched and hardened at this time, piercing into the ground like steel drills, and gravel flew everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, more dense flesh whiskers came down like a torrential rain.

Gu Jiu moved with the shadow, weaving through these terrifyingly powerful flesh whiskers.
