Evil dragon? I turned around suddenly and found that Hu Xiangu's originally fair face had grown white fluff. What surprised me even more was that her white fox tail was also exposed. At this time, she looked like a human and a beast. Although it was weird, it was not difficult to see that she was injured.
"What evil dragon? Aunt, what happened to my grandfather?" Staring at Hu Xiangu's eyes, I spit out the most tangled question in my heart with difficulty. I took a long breath and said, "Also, the people who died in Zhang's shop, were they killed by my grandfather?"
Hu Xiangu was silent. I felt that my heart was hanging. The wind on the river was very strong. For a moment, my thoughts seemed to have returned to more than half a year ago. All that flashed in my mind were Si Ya's pure eyes and Chen Xiaomei's shy whispers. The sound of them playing and scolding each other seemed to be right beside my ears. All those memories made my heart seem to be cut by a knife.
Hu Xiangu sighed and said, "I don't know, but the real dragon needs to feed water essence, earth essence, and blood essence, otherwise the real dragon will die."
"What do you mean? What are earth essence and blood essence?" I asked myself that I have never heard of these two words in all the time I have studied Feng Shui.
She said that the so-called earth essence refers to the "vitality" of the earth that carries the birth of the world. If you use a metaphor, if you go to a funeral home and a vegetable market, even if there is no one in these two places, the feeling you give is different. And blood essence refers to the innate blood essence of the human body. The head is the innate foundation, so the python needs to eat the blood essence of the human head to restore itself.
I was very surprised and asked Hu Xiangu how she knew so much?
She looked into the distance with deep eyes, then pointed at Grandpa on the upstream shore and said, "He said it himself in Heilongjiang, but I didn't know at that time that the python was actually a real dragon."
At this moment, I finally understood why Second Grandma wanted to cooperate with Hu Xiangu to kill the python in Grandpa's hand. It turned out that the real dragon was really an evil creature. It absorbed the water spirit, which would dry up the rivers and steam the earth; it absorbed the earth's vitality and made all things wither; it absorbed the blood spirit and ate the three souls and seven spirits of the human body.
The dragon is indeed an evil dragon!
The Black Water Dragon King once said that King Yu used the Nine Cauldrons to suppress the dragon's body and stabilize the peace of the Nine Provinces. But if the real dragon was a good dragon, why would it be suppressed with the cauldron? It can be seen that I only unilaterally think that the dragon is the embodiment of justice!
Gao Hu suddenly said, "Look, your grandfather is waving at us."
Immediately, I looked upstream again. Grandpa was standing at the bottom of the golden python. He waved the hatchet in his hand, seemingly greeting me. I could even imagine that there were countless bodies piled up somewhere behind him.
I felt like my head was going to explode. I hugged my head tightly and squatted down. I didn't dare to look at my grandfather, nor did I dare to think about it. If my grandfather killed 397 people, what should I do? Revenge? No matter what, I couldn't swing the knife at my dearest person!
I was at least three to five hundred meters away from my grandfather. There was a vast plain all around. The wind was strong, which also blew away my grandfather's shouts.
Hu Xiangu beside me said firmly: "Dabao, Senior Li is an upright person, I believe he must have something to hide!"
I also hope so, otherwise I will feel guilty about the 397 lives of Zhang's shop, because I can't avenge those dead people with my own hands. The rivers are flooding, and the water of the Songhua River flooded the surrounding plains. The golden python also seemed to notice us. Its huge snake head was raised, it spit out its tongue, and stared at us fiercely.
Everything, I must go in person to ask clearly!
Then, I tied the Qing Nang tightly and walked slowly towards the river. Gao Hu pulled me: "What are you doing? The water is so fast, are you crazy?"
I looked at my grandfather in the distance solemnly. The red hatchet in his hand and what he did at the moment made me have to ask clearly in person. Whether it is for myself or for the 397 lives of Zhang's shop, I need to give an explanation.
After taking a long breath, I said, "I must go, even if I die!"
"Dabao, they are upstream, the river water can even knock down big trees, you will die if you go, not to mention there is a giant python, who knows if it will bite people, I absolutely cannot watch you die!" Gao Hu stood in front of me with a firm attitude.
But I can't hear anything now, it's like I'm crazy, as if more than 300 lives in Zhang's shop are complaining in my mind at the same time, this feeling of being suffocated makes me feel worse than death.
"397 lives, Brother Hu, it's 397!" I was a little excited, and continued with hot eyes: "Do you remember what Yicheng said, saving the world and saving one person, human life is the same to him, but what are the 397 lives of the people in Zhang's shop now? Feed for the real dragon? But they have no responsibility to sacrifice themselves for the peace of Jiuzhou!" "Calm down, the Special Service Department will send someone in a while, and Master Hu also said that if it doesn't work, you can hand over the real dragon to the country." Gao Hu advised me. I know he is doing this for my own good, but I can't wait any longer. My Tao heart is unstable and I have no righteousness. I need to know immediately why all this happened! "I know I can't beat you, but Brother Hu, don't stop me. I don't care even if I die or get eaten by the evil dragon!" My heart seemed to be broken. I couldn't stand the oppression. I shouted loudly: "He is my grandfather who provided for me. If he killed the people in Zhang's shop, I will pay for his life! But now I must know the truth immediately!" Gao Hu was stunned, and after a long silence, he said: "Be careful, I won't stop you, but if you die, I, Gao Hu, owe you this life. I will pay it back in the next life." Then, he gave way to me. In fact, everyone has a taboo in their hearts that they don't want to touch. I am not born out of the ordinary, so I can't avoid the seven emotions and six desires. The hardships since childhood have made me treasure every emotion. If it is really my grandfather who did it, then I will bear his sins for him! I patted Gao Hu's shoulder. When I was about to go down to the river, the fairy Hu beside me disappeared. Instead, a big white fox appeared. The fox was as big as a calf. There was no fierceness in its eyes. Instead, it was extremely anthropomorphic. And she was stepping on a flowery skirt.
I took a deep breath in shock and asked in surprise: "Aunt, what are you doing? How did you turn back into a fox?" Because fairy Hu finally managed to transform into a human, but once she became a beast again, it would be difficult to transform again. In other words, she gave up the opportunity to continue to be an adult!
The fox bit my trouser leg with its mouth, and then dived into the turbulent river. In an instant, the clear voice of Hu Xiangu came to my mind: "Dabao, I will take you there. Senior Li is my benefactor. Even if I become a fox again, I don't want to see him being dominated by the evil dragon!" My eyes were wet. Hu Xiangu pursued the way of heaven and became a human for five hundred years, but for my grandfather, she gave up hundreds of years of hard practice in one day and became a wild white fox again! The river turbulent more urgently, and the big white fox looked at me in the water. All foxes are familiar with water, which is the nature of species. At this moment, I am weak and jumping into the river alone is indeed no different from sending myself to death. "Thank you, if I, Zhang Dabao, don't die this time, I will definitely search for elixirs in the world to help you become a human again!" After saying this, I jumped into the river and hugged the white fox with one hand. Fairy Hu took me upstream against the endless waves of the river. The river water was icy and piercing, and it choked my lungs several times and almost made me faint.
In front of the rushing river water of nature, we are insignificant. It is extremely difficult to swim forward every time. If we stop, we will be thrown back to the original place by the river waves again.
After so many times, even I, who was half leaning on Fairy Hu to drag me, had sore limbs. It can be seen how much strength the white fox needs to bear at this moment. The distance is getting closer and closer. When I was knocked to the bottom of the lake by the big waves, the white fox dived into the water again to save me. It bit my clothes and swam upstream desperately. Because the waves at the bottom were very fast, the speed of the white fox was also obviously slowing down.
With a sound of "puff", I surfaced again. At this moment, the distance between me and my grandfather was less than 50 meters. In addition to the sound of wind and waves, my grandfather's anxious shouting was heard in my ears: "Dabao! What are you doing here? Go back quickly, go back quickly!" Grandpa jumped up anxiously and kept shouting at me to go back quickly.
The hatchet in his hand was stained with blood, and his clothes were also soaked brown by blood. When we looked at each other, my mind was full of the kindness of my grandfather to me.
I tried my best to prevent the river water from choking my heart and lungs. Thinking of the dead people, I hysterically shouted to my grandfather: "Why!"
