Chapter 6: 9-clawed Golden Dragon!
After giving Xia Feihu a cold look, Shen Zhui turned to look at Yang Ruye and nodded as acknowledgment.
"Coax~" Behind Yang Ruye, the expressions on the faces of the ten generals of the Soul Guard Army and the Yang family members who followed Yang Ruye became extremely exciting.
"Seriously?!" Yang Ruye stared at Shen Zhui closely.
Greedy Wolf saluted the huge statue in front of him and said solemnly: "My Lord performed outstandingly in the Realm War, and his military achievements ranked first among the three armies.
Your Majesty favors me. The imperial edict of the reward has been issued half a month ago. The six central departments have been backed up. I will go to Beijing in the near future and pay tribute. I will announce it. "
After receiving the other party's affirmation, Yang Ruye was a little distracted for a moment, and pretended to be calm: "It's the old man who lost his composure. I didn't expect that General Shen, at such a young age, would be granted the title of Marquis of Wu, and still, still..."
Shen Zhui sighed in his heart, and also raised his hands and said: "Junior is lucky enough to get this title, so I came here to pay my respects. General Yang is invincible in his life, and I don't dare to compete with General Yang. I just hope that I can avoid dishonoring this title. Previously, there was There are really many difficulties behind what I’m hiding, and I hope Elder Wan will understand.”
Yang Ruye nodded with a wry smile. Of course he could understand why Shen Zhui hid it. First, it was to take care of Yang Jiarao's feelings, which Yang Ruye was grateful for. Secondly, it is also to avoid unnecessary trouble. If someone from the clan knows that Shen Zhui has been awarded the title of Champion, he will do something extraordinary in a hot head.
I don’t know if Shen Zhui has something wrong with him, but the Yang family is probably about to be questioned. Not only because of King Zhao, but also because this is His Majesty’s will. Questioning the title of the champion, doesn't it mean questioning the current emperor?
When the time comes, the Yang family will have a bad reputation of suppressing the underachievers and having no tolerance for others.
"But why would His Majesty grant a fifth level to a Venerable..." Yang Qing on the side couldn't help but question.
"Shut up!" Yang Ruye shouted sharply. "It's not your turn to discuss this matter."
"General Shen...don't pay attention to the Marquis." Yang Ruye said. "I understand the difficulty of the Marquis. They are impulsive and do not understand etiquette. I would like to ask the Marquis to ignore them. I will accompany the Marquis and restrain them."
After that, Yang Ruye showed his coercion. The group of young people standing behind Yang Ruye suddenly did not dare to say a word. But the look he looked at Shen Zhui was not as kind as before, but had a hint of hostility and provocation.
"snort!"
Yang Ruye snorted coldly, and no one dared to say anything. Yang Ruye then smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go visit the former site of the True God."
"Yes." Shen Zhui, Lu Yuanwei and Tanlang all glanced at Xia Feihu, who immediately turned pale and did not dare to say anything more.
After all, he is not a marquis. If tit-for-tat continues, the two titles of Marquis Wenxin and Marquis Champion are not empty.
Immediately, Shen Zhui and his group landed into the Holy Stone Forest, and then went to visit the former site of the True God.
…………
Although Yang Ruye's status among the tribe is not low and he is quite majestic, the news about the birth of a new champion and the arrival of the Extreme Flame Forbidden Land spread quickly.
Yang Ruye could restrain their bodies, but he could not control their thoughts. Not long after getting off the warship, more and more people knew that the imperial court had newly named a champion.
"What?!"
"The imperial court gave the title of Champion Marquis to Shen Zhui of Wu'an Army? An unknown fifth-level venerable?"
"I heard that he made a lot of contributions in the realm war, and ranked first in military achievements among the three armies."
"So what? The champion can only be a member of our Yang family!!"
"Quick, go check it out!"
"Where is Shen Zhui? I want to challenge him! Let's see what virtue he has and what he can do?!"
"I heard that I went to the Holy Stone Forest!"
"..."
The news spread quickly throughout the forbidden area like a whirlwind. It should be noted that no one has obtained the champion for 800 years, and it has always been regarded as the goal of the Yang family. The talents in the army all want to obtain this from the Human Emperor. The title, the glory of the ancestors, the glory of the Yang family, and a good story... But now, it is snatched away by an outsider, a powerless young man. How can you bear this? So everyone wants to meet this new champion and see who he is! He was actually able to steal the Yang family’s glory!
But at this moment, Shen Zhui and his group had arrived at the former site of the True God where the next generation of spiritual guardians lived, at the very center of the Holy Stone Forest.
"Huh?" As soon as he entered the central area of the sacred stone forest, Shen Zhui saw ten coat-shaped statues standing here, and these statues were all surrounded by a huge circle, guarding a hundred-mile radius inside.
The entire land with a radius of hundreds of miles is extremely flat and smooth, as if it has been polished. And in the center of it, lies a golden, huge, roaring... dragon!
"This..." Shen Zhui and the others were also shocked. Because this dragon is lifelike, exactly like a living creature, and the dragon scales on it are shining with golden light. Facing those huge dragon eyes, everyone felt a rush of hatred, wanting to choose someone to devour!
"How could this happen..." Shen Zhui was completely shocked.
In the open space with a radius of a hundred miles, there is a yellow golden dragon with its teeth and claws, and its roaring look is full of majesty. Originally, Shen Zhui of the dragon clan had not seen it before. He himself possessed a drop of Yinglong's essence and blood. He had even seen a living Yinglong in the world of Daxia, but after all, it was a venerable-level Yinglong, and it was a real one. Cultural fantasy.
But what's different here is that based on the aura emanating from it and the faint spatial fluctuations, it's completely possible to feel... this is a living dragon!
"The ancient mythical beast ranks third, the nine-clawed golden dragon." Shen Zhui's eyes widened. "And at least it's true god level!"
Shen Zhui asked himself that he had seen the world, but when he saw a living nine-clawed golden dragon appearing in front of him, and it was at the level of a true god, he was immediately shocked.
Why is there a living mythical beast here?
"No, this dragon doesn't seem to be alive." Lu Yuanwei took a look, his face was shocked, but he immediately discovered something was wrong.
Because this dragon has always maintained the same posture. Although his eyes are wide open, the look in his eyes is exactly the same.
Moreover, there were many wounds on the golden dragon's body, and even many dragon scales were missing. However, the wounds did not heal on their own, and no blood flowed out, as if they were completely solidified.
"What, what's going on?" Shen Zhui asked. It was so weird, it seemed alive, but he felt the fluctuation of the soul, even the breath of the true god. And the trace of feeling in the blood allowed Shen Zhui to be sure that the golden dragon was not a statue. "Whether he is dead or alive, why is he here?"
Yang Ruye looked melancholy and said: "It is neither alive nor dead. It is also a real existence. It is not a statue, but it has been watching here for eight hundred years..."
The group of people behind Yang Ruye also expressed emotion and even admiration.
"Could it be..." Greedy Wolf thought.
"That's right...this golden dragon was the companion of my ancestor of the Yang family back then!"
"What?" Shen Zhui was shocked.
He also remembered at this moment that when Yang An defected to Emperor Ming and made great achievements, Emperor Ming once rewarded Yang An with a young dragon he pulled.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this nine-clawed golden dragon!
"Master Hou is right, it is indeed alive." Yang Ruye gave another shocking news.
"Alive?" This time, Lu Yuanwei was also shocked. He didn't expect that the golden dragon in front of him was actually alive!
"Back then, our ancestors entered Yiyang City to accept the surrender of the puppet king, leaving the golden dragon in the military camp, and only brought eighteen personal guards into the city."
"I didn't expect that I would be assassinated by a traitor!!" Yang Ruye said with red eyes.
"The ancestors tried their best and finally opened a passage and sent eighteen soldiers out to report to His Majesty."
"The target of the traitor was the ancestor, so the eighteen personal guards escaped by chance, but the golden dragon... sensed that the master was in danger and would rather die than retreat!"
"Eighteen personal guards sent people to report the news, and together with Jin Long, they wanted to go in and rescue the ancestors. However, later, the entire Yiyang City was destroyed under the sacrifice of the large formation, and the fire and earth evil spewed out, covering thousands of miles, and no one could get close. , even the true god can’t get close.”
"The fire in Yiyang City did not go out, and Jin Long could not enter, but he refused to leave, so he has been waiting for the return of his ancestors... The eighteen personal guards felt guilty, so they stayed here with Jin Long and waited for a hundred years. "
"To be so loyal..." Everyone was moved by this legend.
"After a hundred years of waiting, we can't wait for our ancestors." Yang Ruye said with emotion. "His Majesty's imperial decree orders the eighteen personal guards to return to the capital and bring the golden dragon back with them."
"Although the golden dragon was strong and resisted desperately, it was still taken back. But after it woke up, in order to escape from the restraint, it actually wanted to explode... It was so strong that even His Majesty couldn't do anything about it."
"I had no choice but to let the golden dragon go. In the end... it came back here."
"Then he is now..." Shen Zhui looked at the golden dragon, full of emotion and a little doubt at the same time. Is the nine-clawed golden dragon dead or alive? Since he is alive, why is he motionless, as if he is dead?
As if seeing Shen Zhui's doubts, Yang Ruye shook his head and said: "The golden dragon is dedicated to guarding, but wherever it is, it has to spend endless energy to fight against the fire, lung and fire. At that time, no one can enter except the true god. Even when His Holiness comes, he can only stay for one day.”
"Later, the golden dragon requested the Human Emperor to cooperate with it in using the magical power to stop time, sealing all of its self, and keeping its soul still until the ancestors returned from Yiyang City... So far, they have been watching for eight hundred years."
After hearing that Yang Ru had finished the night, Shen Zhui couldn't help but sigh.
The mythical beast has a spirit, and after recognizing its master, it is difficult to change its original intention. Unlike the soul secret method, Yang An did not use the soul secret method to enslave the golden dragon, but fought side by side like a partner.
He didn't expect that Jin Long had such deep feelings for Yang An. He refused to believe that Yang An was dead and stayed with Ci for eight hundred years.
A nine-clawed golden dragon, in its prime, in the realm of true gods, with enough fighting power to defeat the top true gods! If it is willing to give up, the land is so big that it can go anywhere, and it will definitely be respected by others. But it has been waiting here, even letting the emperor help it use magical powers, and seal its soul together.
After obtaining Yinglong's inheritance information, Shen Zhui naturally knew that the golden dragon's magical powers were extremely powerful and he was good at time-related gifts.
However, given its magical powers, even a true god cannot remain still for hundreds of years. For example, Shen Zhui is currently using the Yinglong Incarnation and the Absolute Domain, which is a form of spatial confinement.
But even if the Venerable is at the fifth level, the duration can only last for seven or eight seconds at most. This can only be done if Shen Zhui exerts all his strength and does not consider the consumption.
The longer you delay, the greater the price you pay!
For hundreds of years, this golden dragon would have to rely on the power of the Human Emperor to achieve it, and the price paid would probably be extremely huge.
The longer it drags on, the slimmer the chance of unblocking it. Just like now, if Shen Zhui hadn't been sensitive, even Lu Yuanwei wouldn't have been able to feel the fluctuations in its life, only suspecting that it was not dead.
"What a pity..." Shen Zhui looked at the roaring golden dragon and seemed to see a lonely figure, which had been roaring towards the old Yiyang City, waiting for the return of the Lord...
It's a pity for Yang An, and it's also a pity for this loyal beast.
At this moment, Shen Zhui suddenly felt an impulse in his heart, "Can I get closer and watch?"
"As long as the Marquis doesn't step over the ten-coat statue," Yang Ruye said. "If you step over the statue, you will be affected by the rules, and your whole person will be affected by the stasis of time. Even the true god will not be able to save you at that time."
"Understood." Shen Zhui nodded and jumped directly to the stone platform at the foot of the tall military general statue.
Nine-clawed golden dragon, the divine beast of time, Shen Zhui looked at the secret patterns on the golden dragon's body, as if the time around him had slowed down and was full of endless mystery.
Seeing Shen Zhui immersed in enlightenment, Yang Ruye said to Lu Yuanwei and others: "It seems that the Marquis has gained something. Divine beasts are rare. Many people have just come here to observe the golden dragon. They may not have realized anything for ten or eight years. I didn't expect it." The Marquis actually realized something so quickly..."
The rules of time are the most mysterious, and there are not many objects that can be understood, because there are very few such treasures. A living golden dragon, especially one that is still in the state of [Time Stands Still], is extremely rare. Therefore, the gathering attracted many people to observe and comprehend.
"However, remember not to cross the range of the statue, otherwise your life will be in danger..." Yang Ruye warned.
"I know, thank you for reminding me." Lu Yuanwei and others also began to observe the scales and secret patterns on the golden dragon's body.
Time passed by minute by second, and Shen Zhui observed the secret patterns of the scales on the golden dragon at the foot of the statue, and gradually became immersed in it.
"The law of time is simply mysterious and perfect."
"Being able to remain still forever, compared to the world around him, to be immortal and immortal, this law of time is completely beyond imagination..." Shen Zhui sighed with emotion.
Golden Dragon can be regarded as the true god of time, and he naturally controls the law of time, and in this way, he can only seal it with the help of the power of the Human Emperor. Keep guarding, unchanged for hundreds, even thousands of years... How difficult is this?
The methods used, even if they only scratch the surface of enlightenment, will be used for a lifetime.
Unknowingly, Shen Zhui felt that the scales in front of him became blurry, like a whirlpool, and became unreal.
Shen Zhui subconsciously approached, wanting to see more clearly.
However, he found that his whole body was extremely tired and his movements were extremely slow. In his mind, the Bloodborne Divine Armor and the Nine Nether Soul Sword were emitting a dangerous light, seeming to warn Shen Zhui. However, Shen Zhui, who was immersed in the law of time, was completely Didn't notice this.
Subconsciously opening the merit barrier, Shen Zhui took a step forward.
The scales were clear, the law seal and the bottom of his heart, a flash of light flashed, just when Shen Zhui wanted to continue...
"Bang~" A huge rebound force bounced Shen Zhui back, and he suddenly woke up. Shen Zhui found that one of his feet had actually been retracted from the statue.
Lu Yuanwei and Yang Ruye looked at Shen Zhui in horror.
"Oops, I almost fell into the realm of that law." Shen Zhui was also frightened at this moment. However, he had just entered a state of enlightenment, completely forgetting himself. So I didn't realize the danger at all.
"Are you okay?!" Lu Yuanwei pulled Shen Zhui back, his face a little pale.
"Sir." Tanlang also stared at Shen Zhui nervously.
Only Xia Feihu showed a hint of joy in his eyes.
"I'm fine." Shen Zhui glanced at Yang Ruye. "Senior Yang, I'm sorry."
"Master Hou is really..." Yang Ruye didn't know what to do.
Shen Zhui just now, but his two feet completely entered the realm of the law of time.
Although this is nothing, even the True God cannot escape from the realm of the law of time, and it is impossible to leave.
But Shen Zhui not only went in and came out again, but he also acted like a normal person, which shocked him beyond measure.
at this time--
"Ang~" Suddenly a faint sound of dragon roar sounded, and as this sound sounded.
The entire land where the Law of Time domain is located trembled slightly.
The golden dragon's head actually deviated slightly to the right, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that nothing had changed.
"What's going on?" Yang Ruye was startled, glanced at Shen Zhui suspiciously, and then looked into the field. "Did any restrictions be triggered?"
"I don't know." Shen Zhui also looked over in confusion. "Does this happen often?"
"Unheard of." Yang Ruye seemed to have thought of something and cupped her hands towards Shen Zhui. "Everyone, I'll excuse you for a moment."
After that, he ignored Shen Zhui and others and left in a hurry, leaving Shen Zhui and Lu Yuanwei looking at each other in confusion.
"Sir, don't worry." Greedy Wolf said. "I'm afraid it's some kind of hallucination, or a ban triggering mechanism."
"If you, a venerable sir, could destroy the restriction set by Tangtangzi, it would have been destroyed long ago after so many years."
Shen Zhui also nodded, but he was still a little suspicious. Could it be that the dragon roar just now was really because of him?
While they were continuing to meditate under the statue, they were waiting for Yang Ruye to return.
Suddenly, there was a noise on the other side of the statue. “Come quickly, Shen Chai is here!”
