Chapter 1021: Promise (3)
However, the young man was very surprised. This was just a legend that the local people knew. Even on the internet, there were all kinds of rumors. If song qingxiao wanted to, she could find out after going out and checking. Why did uncle Xiang not want to say anything?
He thought of his previous plans. After following uncle Xiang into the nine Dragon cave, he had already discovered that he was no longer suitable for this job.
Instead of dealing with corpses all year round in such a gloomy and terrifying place like the nine Dragon cave, it was better to be a guide for foreigners. He could make a living by just talking, and it was much safer than picking up treasures and delivering goods.
They had been talking for a long time, but uncle Xiang had interrupted them before they could mention the money. At this time, the young man’s thoughts came alive again in the dark. Since he didn’t have to row the boat and was trapped in this damn place for the time being, he might as well talk to someone to distract his fear. Then, he could take the opportunity to mention the money to song Qing. It was killing two birds with one stone.
At the thought of this, the young man immediately suppressed his worries and said, ”
“Miss song, you may not know this, but there is indeed a legend about the Dragon King in our local area.”
As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt uncle Xiang’s shadow move. Then, a cold gaze fell on him, causing him to feel a chill on his back and shiver.
But in the next moment, before the young man could turn his head, song Qing peeked in uncle Xiang’s direction, and uncle Xiang immediately shrank his head.
The young man felt that something was wrong, but before he could raise his head, the strange feeling had disappeared.
He scratched his head and laughed dryly, ”
it’s not really a secret. It’s just that after the Yellow Emperor killed the evil Dragon, he placed the remains of the nine Dragons here and guarded it personally. However, the strong resentment of the nine Dragons ‘souls awakened the Dragon King.
He paused for a moment, then continued, ”
the Dragon King was furious when he saw his people being slaughtered. He cast a spell and let the water of the heavenly river flow down from the top of Mount yulun to nourish the nine dragon bones.
“Nourish the nine Dragon skeleton?” Song qingxiao asked. Then, she remembered something.”Is this the Dragon King you mentioned before?”
“Yup,” The young man was a little embarrassed. When he had mentioned uncle Xiang’s past to song Qing, he had questioned uncle Xiang’s legend and had mentioned it casually. Now that she had mentioned it, he was afraid that uncle Xiang would hear it. He felt a little guilty and quietly looked in uncle Xiang’s direction. He lowered his voice and said,
according to my mother, the Dragon King’s power is infinite. He has the extraordinary spell of bringing the dead back to life and controlling the reincarnation of life. He can collect human souls and use them to nourish the dark spirits of the nine Dragons. Once he has collected enough souls, he can reverse the reincarnation and resurrect living beings.
Song qingxiao frowned, ” bring the dead back to life and control the cycle of life? ”
“How can there be such a spell?” What answered her was uncle Xiang’s cold voice.
“It’s just a countryside legend, just used to scare the visitors.”
The young man then said weakly, ”
“That’s not for sure …”
“What’s there to be uncertain about!” He shouted loudly, his voice reverberating back and forth in the cave. It formed a terrifying echo through the mountain walls and passed through the ears of several people.
“If there really is such a thing as reincarnation, I’m afraid that the entrance of the nine Dragon cave would have already been broken by the crowd!” He retorted fiercely,”even someone like the first emperor of Qin couldn’t obtain the profound mystery of immortality, so how could it appear in this place?” I’ve lived for more than half of my life, what kind of scene haven’t I seen? How many times had he been in and out of the nine Dragon cave? If there was a Dragon King, if there was reincarnation, how could I not know?”
Uncle Xiang scolded angrily, ”
this brat doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth and speaks nonsense. It’s really hateful. If you continue to talk nonsense like this, I’ll drive you off the ship!
He already had a gloomy aura that made people feel fear, and now that he was angry, it made people even more afraid.
This person had a strange temper and was usually alone. He had no relatives, family, children, and never interacted with anyone.
Now that he said he was going to kick her off the ship, he didn’t seem to be joking.
If he was driven off the ship in such a place, it would be difficult for him to survive. The young man was somewhat dissatisfied when he heard the one-eyed old man rudely interrupt his words, but at this time, he was suppressed by the old man’s fierce attitude, which made him feel terrified. He suddenly kept quiet and did not dare to say anything.
Song qingxiao heard the conversation between the two, but she was deep in thought.
