Chapter 501: It’s hard to refuse such kindness

Chapter 501: It’s hard to refuse such kindness

"Haha, if there is any need at that time, I hope that fellow Taoist Changsheng will take care of me."

True Lord Jiaolong laughed and said respectfully.

"That's natural."

Yu Changsheng echoed, nodding slightly as well, thoughtfully in his heart.

"Only those who are within one kilometer of the Golden Core, or within three kilograms of the Zi Mansion, can enter the inner gate of the Holy Land... In other words, the inner disciples of the Holy Land must have at least a Jindan cultivation level, and they are all those with outstanding talents. The golden elixir, Zi Mansion is..."

"No wonder the Holy Land is said to be so good. With such a foundation, it does have such courage. I just don't know what the details of this Sea Beast Island are..."

Yu Changsheng pondered in his heart and breathed out quietly.

The disciples alone are required to be in the lowest Golden Core and Purple Mansion realm. This is indeed far beyond most forces. You know, the Golden Core realm monks can serve as elders in sects such as Wuzhou Sixth Sect. This level of position, Zifu, can become the highest level of the sect.

But with such a core position, in the Sea Beast Island, he is just an ordinary inner disciple.

As for the outer disciples... Although Zhenjun Jiaolong didn't make it clear, Yu Changsheng also understood in his heart that the so-called outer disciples were probably just a status.

Among them, there is the possibility of contacting the Holy Land, but they do not get the benefit of the Holy Land's resources. More often, they just do odd jobs for the Holy Land and perform daily operations.

But even so, for ordinary monks, becoming an outer disciple of Sea Beast Island is still very popular. After all, no matter how marginal it is, it is also stained with the word Holy Land, which means there is a greater chance of entering the inner gate of Holy Land.

………

"Every hundred years, Sea Beast Island will hold a large-scale disciple recruitment conference. At this time, countless forces in the North Sea and countless casual cultivators gather from all over the world. Each disciple recruitment conference lasts for a year. "

"Now that I think about it, it has only been about half a year. This place is not too far away from the Sea Beast Island. There is plenty of time, so fellow Taoists don't have to rush."

Jiaolong Zhenjun said, speeding up the spirit boat. After two hours of this, the turbulent sea around him gradually calmed down, and a black outline was revealed on the sea level in the distance.

As we got closer, the hub gradually became clear, and it turned out to be a protruding island with lush forests and some fixed ports arranged on the shore.

"Jiaolong Island, here we are."

True Lord Jiaolong smiled slightly, exhaled slowly, and accelerated away. After a while, he took Yu Changsheng and the two of them to the port smoothly.

When leaving the port, there were many monks armed with weapons guarding the coastline with solemn expressions. After seeing the person clearly, they immediately looked respectful, clasped their fists and lowered their eyebrows and said:

"Meet the island owner."

The cultivation of these people was only foundation building. After greeting True Lord Jiaolong, Bian Zong looked at Yu Changsheng curiously, but did not ask any more questions.

After Lord Jiaolong nodded, he put away the Jiaolong Spirit Boat, turned around and said to Yu Changsheng and Mr. Wei with a gentle smile:

"The island is not big, but I have put a lot of thought and effort into it over the years. I can't guarantee anything else, but compared to the vast sea outside where pirates are rampant and there are crises everywhere, the security here is quite orderly and safe. It’s all pretty good.”

"In the vast sea, monks like us, who are out at sea all year round, can find a temporary place to stay. It is rare to have a good rest."

There was a bit of pride in True Lord Jiaolong's words.

Mr. Wei nodded, looked around, and said calmly: "Fellow Taoist, if you are thoughtful, it is a great merit to be able to protect the safety of one party."

Yu Changsheng was silent, silently observing everything on the island, thinking in his heart.

The island is not too big, about a few hundred kilometers in radius, and is sparsely populated. Most of it is occupied by dense rainforest. There are not many buildings, but the aura is quite abundant.

At the very center of the island, there is a majestic city with a statue reaching to the sky and the ground. The statue is carved with the body of a dragon, one hundred feet high, lifelike, with the dragon's head lowered, overlooking the entire island.

And this is also the origin of the name of Jiaolong Island.

A group of people walked and gradually moved towards the center of the island. True Lord Jiaolong led the way and walked at the front. He introduced with a smile:

"You two are actually from the Southern Territory. You may not have seen any island scenery in the Northern Sea Territory. It would be good to stay here for two days. I have ordered someone to hold a banquet in the city. They will definitely entertain you with delicious food and drinks. , Thank you two fellow Taoists for giving me some thin noodles.”

"Then I'll trouble you, fellow Taoist."

Yu Changsheng nodded casually and answered.

Not long after, several people arrived at the city at the core of the island. Under the arrangement of True Lord Jiaolong, they stayed in the guest room under the Jiaolong statue.

"Master, what do you think of this True Lord Jiaolong?"

In the room, Yu Changsheng opened the skylight, looked up at the hundred-foot-tall dragon statue, and said with a chuckle.

"Not much."

Mr. Wei spoke lightly, with a sneer in his eyes, looking at the majestic dragon statue, and said:

"His motives are unpredictable. As a human being, he is willing to be a slave to beasts. He has forgotten his origins and has set his sights on us. It would be a disaster for him."

"Let's see first what he wants to do."

"Yeah," Yu Changsheng laughed and nodded thoughtfully, "But this island itself is a good place."

…………

…………

As night falls, the sky darkens, revealing the bright starry sky. Like a huge carpet studded with gems, it spreads across the boundless sky. The stars twinkled like mysterious eyes staring at the ocean and the earth.

On the island, the dragon statue in the center is covered with a layer of light under the light of the stars. The moonlight flows like water, and the waves on the sea reflect the starry sky.

Under the huge dragon statue, a blazing bonfire was burning, and the firelight illuminated all directions. A huge banquet was going on. There was a graceful female cultivator, wearing revealing and exotic costumes, dancing against the firelight. Swaying in the light of the fire, her smile is charming.

The sea breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness, and the air is filled with the alluring aroma of spices and unknown spiritual beast barbecue, making it peaceful and lively.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Yu, Fellow Daoist Wei, come, come, come, you are a guest, drink wine and eat meat, just eat with your stomach. It's not easy to come here, you must have fun."

True Lord Jiaolong laughed loudly, raised his wine glass, touched it to Yu Changsheng and Mr. Wei from a distance, and then took a generous sip.

Yu Changsheng and Mr. Wei smiled slightly, immersed in the atmosphere of the banquet, and seemed to have completely relaxed. Several people were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was lively and peaceful.

After three rounds of drinking, singing and dancing, as Lord Jiaolong clapped his hands, a musician suddenly entered the scene with a drum hanging on his waist, using his spiritual power as a hammer to beat hard.

"Dong dong dong!!"

The cheerful drum beats have a distinct rhythm, as energetic as the heartbeat, and the unique musical instruments play, and the unique melody seems to penetrate the soul, swirling aura around it, making people immersed in it.

The sound of the drums became heavier and louder, like a heart. The spiritual energy surged more and more. The strange drum sound spread. The female cultivator's dance became more wild and strange. Her movements were neat and uniform, echoing the surge of spiritual energy, and gradually became more and more powerful. It's strange, but it's also filled with an indescribable sense of beauty.

"This is a unique dance in our North Sea region. Usually only important guests will perform it with great enthusiasm. It may be very different from your southern region, but it also has a unique style. Two Taoists, you can patiently enjoy it. ”

"If you have any opinions, feel free to put them forward."

Lord Jiaolong explained with a smile. Looking at Yu Changsheng and Mr. Wei, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Yu Changsheng and Mr. Wei looked at each other and smiled, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised, revealing an intriguing smile. Yu Changsheng chuckled and said:

"It is a great honor for us to be treated so kindly and so seriously by the owner of Jiaolong Island. The island has a nice atmosphere, but there is one thing that I still don't know. Could you please give me some answers?"

Jiaolong Zhenjun was stunned, looked at Yu Changsheng with a strange look in his eyes, raised his glass and drank it, and said haha: "Fellow Taoist, if you have any doubts, it doesn't matter, I will definitely know that there is no limit to what you can say."

"I'm more curious. Why was this huge dragon statue built in the center of the island?"

"Is there some other origin?"

Yu Changsheng pointed at the huge dragon statue and asked with a smile.

When True Lord Jiaolong heard this, his expression turned serious, and then he stroked his beard and slowly explained:

"This, it doesn't have any special meaning, it's just a commemorative function."

"Why commemorate?" Yu Changsheng asked.

True Lord Jiaolong shook his head and smiled softly:

"My fellow Taoists don't know that before I arrived, this island was not ownerless, but occupied by a dragon. It was doing evil and evil. It brought harm to one party, and many of the cultivators who came and went fell into its mouth and became its owner. The blood diet has made many monks miserable, and this island has become a desperate place."

"Oh?" Yu Changsheng became interested, raised his eyebrows, and said, "There is such a secret, what happened next?"

"Later."

Jiaolong Zhenjun looked sadly, opened his mouth and sighed, exhaled a long breath, shook his head and said lightly, "Later, I and a few friends came to this island by chance and insisted on communicating and doing evil, so they spent all their time. With the combined power of five oxen and two tigers, they will eventually kill him."

"It's just a pity that this dragon is ferocious in nature and has profound cultivation. Even though several of my friends and I are in the Purple Mansion realm, we still paid a considerable price to kill it. Apart from me, the other few Both of my friends unfortunately fell into the mouth of the dragon, and I still feel heartbroken when I think about it."

True Lord Jiaolong sighed deeply, his eyes were deep, with a hint of pain, his face was indescribably bitter, and his tone was heavy and he spoke slowly.

"So later, in order to commemorate several of my friends, and to let the people who came to the island know the historical origin of the island, I simply built such a statue of a dragon, and even changed my name to "Jiaolong". Be careful, if my friends Huang Quan knew about it, they might also be happy."

True Lord Jiaolong sighed again, shook his head, swallowed a sip of saliva, and drank a glass of wine dullly, his expression looking lonely.

Yu Changsheng suddenly understood, clasped his fists and bowed, and said: "I see, I didn't expect that the island owner is also a sweetheart, but there is no need to be too sad, it is all in the past."

"Being able to slay the dragon, benefit one party, and protect one's peace is truly a blessing."

Yu Changsheng opened his mouth to praise, his tone was soft, and fell in the ears of True Lord Jiaolong, but he saw a trace of unnatural look flashing on his face. He turned his head away slightly, nodded silently, raised his wine glass and shouted at Yu Changsheng and Mr. Wei again. bye:

"These are just things from the past. There is nothing worthy of praise. Let's drink and drink. Two fellow Taoists have come from afar, so they must not lose their interest."

Jiaolong Zhenjun said, and then he looked up and drank another cup. Under the cover of the wine glass, a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes, which was intriguing.

Yu Changsheng and Wei Lao laughed, and the three continued to talk. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Dong Dong Dong!

The bonfire burned violently, the flames flickered and swayed, the classical music became more and more intense, the drums sounded like thunder, and the heartbeats were muffled. With the ups and downs of the drums, the dancing postures of the dancing cultivators became more and more wild and strange. With every move, the surrounding spiritual energy surged.

So, gradually white gas rose, and under the gathering of white gas, the starlight was also received, condensed into a little bit of strange runes, and fell everywhere with the dance.

Faintly, a sense of confusion rippled in the surrounding space.

And the vague murmurs slowly sounded from all directions, like waves of crowded tides, surging towards Yu Changsheng and Wei Lao.

"My Lord, the Dragon, is a respectful man for all ages."

"I obey my Lord, and all living beings are sacrifices."

"I submit my heart, and may the Lord bless me."

"The sea of ​​suffering has a shore, and from now on it is a pure land."

…………

The murmur was vague and like a tide, a little at first, and then it became more and more turbulent, covering this place, and even beating on the mind, and the dance of the dancing cultivator was even more bizarre, and under the rotation, a series of white runes that gathered starlight flashed with dim light.

Under the constant movement of this dim light, part of it went towards Wei Lao and Yu Changsheng, and the other part slowly floated towards the huge dragon statue, imprinted in it.

The space seemed to be distorted, and the spiritual energy began to riot. In the confusion, the Dragon Master raised his glass and sipped the wine gently, and the smile on his face became more and more weird.

Yu Changsheng and Wei Lao, however, had blurred eyes. As the white runes surrounded them, their expressions were dull, and their eyes lost their agility, as if they had lost their souls.

Seeing this, Master Jiaolong curled his lips slightly, shook his head, and sneered:

"You two are still cautious enough, worried that I poisoned the food and wine, pretending to cooperate but actually drinking wine, but how could you have thought that the real dilemma is never in the wine."

"Dare to watch the sacrificial dance under the statue of Jiaolong, even if you are also Master Zifu, you have to immerse yourself in the illusion for a while, now, aren't you at my mercy?"

"Although the inner elixir of Tenghai Dragon Lion is gone, it can be regarded as a good deed to capture two Master Zifu and offer sacrifices. Master Jiaolong should not blame me." (End of this chapter)
