If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 852: The Dragon Clan

Xiaoxi Village is located on the edge of the lake. As the saying goes, live by the water, eat by the water, the people in the village are all fishermen, and Xi Juan is also a real fisherman.

In the past, he often cast a net to fish. He had also caught fish in a cage, touched fish in the river, and fished with a hook.

But today is the first time I’ve walked on the waves in a big river and chased fish.

He swam faster and more flexibly than the fish, and easily caught a ten-pound black fish.

After removing the internal organs, they picked a few lotus leaves from the river pond, wrapped the black fish in them, and roasted them over the fire.

After cooking, peel off the lotus leaves and fish skin to reveal the tender fish meat. Sprinkle with finely chopped salt and eat it directly. It is very delicious.

He brought his master Qin to the shore, introduced Xi Juan and her son to each other, and they greeted each other.

Xiaoyu, Xijuan, and their master Qin sat around Xijuan's "lazy desk", on which were placed black fish meat and three wine glasses.

The wine glasses and drinks were provided by Teacher Wuyazi.

"Was there originally no dragon god in the Zhang River?" Xi Juan asked curiously.

He had been planning to fish for arowana, but he didn't know that the real dragon was only released today.

Master Qin shook his head and said, “I have been a dragon rider in the Great Qin for 840 years, and I have even released dragons in many remote streams, rivers, and even deep pools in the mountains.

The Zhang River stretches for more than a thousand miles, passing through several prefectures and counties in the Central Plains, nourishing millions of people, and connecting to the Yellow River.

How could such an important water system be without the supervision of the Dragon King?

But a few days ago, the Dragon King of Zhangshui committed a murderous crime and was hacked to death by a strong man, leaving his position vacant.

That’s why Zhao Juhua had the opportunity to use her years of savings and favors to get the opportunity to soar to the sky.”

"The Dragon King was hacked to death by a strong man." Xi Juan thought for a moment and then said in surprise, "Could it be that he died in the Dragon Palace in Julu Lake and was killed by the Fairy Feiyu?"

Master Qin was shocked and said, "This matter is still a top secret of the court. How did Brother Xi know about it?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Xiaoxi Village is right next to the Great Lake. The Dragon Palace held a Great Lake Banquet that day and invited many virtuous and blessed neighbors from the surrounding areas.

Juan'er was lucky enough to follow the village elders who had great prestige in their village to the Dragon Palace and see a grand spectacle."

"So that's how it is!" Master Qin suddenly realized.

He once again bowed solemnly to Xi Juan, "Brother Xi is still young, but he was invited by Fairy Feiyu to attend the Dragon Palace banquet. He must be a man of great talent and wisdom. I am sorry for being disrespectful."

He had been courteous to the Xi mother and son because he knew etiquette.

The only special treatment he showed to Xi Juan came from his address to him - "Teacher Wuyazi".

Now he was expressing his respect sincerely.

As someone who has been recognized by Fairy Feiyu, there is no doubt about his talent and virtue.

The status of "Fairy Feiyu" is very high now. She stole the peaches from the immortal world, killed Xiu Ge, reversed the destiny of the northern border, and killed two Xuanxian, six Shangxian, and six Dragon Kings in the swamp. Now she is the focus of the Shenzhou cultivation circle.

In addition, the court has already figured out the reason why Fairy Feiyu invited the guests: as witnesses of the Star God's trial.

Anyone who was invited to act as a witness before the Star God at that time must not be a mediocre person.

"Thank you, Master." Xi Juan immediately stood up and returned the greeting.

“Even if the position of Zhangshui River God was vacant, why did the imperial court come here to release the dragon?
The Four Seas Dragon Kings would not easily give up such an important position to others, right?" Xiao Yu said.

Master Qin was a little hesitant.

However, thinking that Xi Juan had personally attended the Daze Banquet and knew the first-hand information,
"Master Wuyazi, do you know why Fairy Feiyu killed so many Dragon Kings in one breath?" He tried to probe.

"Isn't it just to snatch the giant peaches? I heard that Fairy Feiyu emptied the peach garden and has hundreds of giant peaches that ripen once every nine thousand years!

Hundreds of big peaches! Who wouldn’t be confused and excited after hearing this?
Although the Dragon Kings' methods are despicable, I can understand them." Xiao Yu said magnanimously.

Well, she chopped all the dragons to death, and the dragon clan’s inner alchemy skills were also tortured out, so of course she was generous.

Master Qin nodded in agreement and sighed, "The big peach is indeed easy to confuse people. When Queen Mother Zhao heard the news, she immediately sent people to search for the trace of Feiyu Fairy. She also wanted a big peach so that she could live forever!"

"It's human nature, I can understand it, I totally understand it. If I didn't know that I was not strong enough, I would also be confused!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Xi Juan tried to hold back for a while, but couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Teacher, Fairy Feiyu must have lost all the peaches in her hand.

Not to mention the big peaches, there aren't even any small peaches, so there's no need to be confused.

To be confused is to be stupid.”

Xiao Yu was surprised and said, "Juan'er, what did Fairy Feiyu tell you? What she said may not be credible!"

She did tell the guests the adventure story of "Fairy Yu Feng stealing the peaches" in a vivid and gripping way, even telling the story of how she sneaked into the Yao Chi Garden and accidentally touched the roots of Fairy Jiang Zhu.

But if she said that she only exchanged two peaches from Dongfang Shuo's pocket, would they believe it?
If everyone believed it, why would Queen Dowager Zhao be confused?
In fact, she told her story not only at the Daze Banquet.

As early as the beginning of the year, after the Divine Mace Taibao had seen her at the Great Wall, the Taiyi Dao, at least the Yumen Zhenren lineage, had been promoting her: Yu Fengxian had only stolen two peaches from Dongfang Shuo, and the peaches had long been eaten up.

But what’s the use after the truth is widely spread?

Daya Zhenjun, Zhongshan Jun and others still firmly believe that she has the big peaches in her hands.

They believed that she must have eaten several large peaches, which gave her the power she had now and enabled her to defeat so many immortals.

They are definitely not stupid, but they are obsessed with money.

The temptation of the big peaches is too great.

Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, they were willing to try and were unwilling to believe Yu Fengxian's truth.

Xi Juan said: "When Fairy Feiyu told the story, she was very frank and admitted that she had tortured the defeated immortals and the Dragon King for many immortal arts and spiritual fruits.

If she had hundreds of large peaches, why would she snatch the ordinary spiritual fruits from the immortals?
I feel that she is expressing her true feelings and is truly greedy, not pretending."

Xiao Yu was a little embarrassed and a little angry: What do you know, little brat? Even if it is an ordinary spiritual fruit in the Dragon Palace, you will never be able to eat it in your life unless I invite you. Xi Juan continued: "In addition, I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. The Water Virtue Star Lord listed many crimes of the Fairy Feiyu, but he never mentioned the theft of peaches from beginning to end."

Master Qin Dao said: "Little brother, what you said makes sense, but the matter of the peaches may involve another powerful being, and it is not appropriate for the Heavenly Court to publicly pursue this crime."

"Which great man? Could it be 'Lord Kunlun'? Fairy Feiyu said that she and Lord Kunlun only met once." Xi Juan said.

“I don’t dare to have any ideas about Fairy Feiyu, but I also think that the words spoken from Fairy Feiyu’s mouth need to be treated with caution.” Master Qin said.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "That's right! Everyone knows that wealth should not be shown to others.

But Fairy Feiyu has nothing to do with us after all, so please continue talking about releasing the dragon."

Master Qin Dao: "In the case of the Daze Dragon Palace, the reason why so many Dragon Kings died was because many Dragon Kings gathered in Daze to hold the 'Dahe Banquet'.

What was discussed at the Dahe Banquet was extremely treasonous to the Great Qin Court.

Queen Mother Zhao personally issued an edict to reprimand He Bo and deprived him of the power to appoint and dismiss the river gods of two tributaries of the Yellow River.

One of the big rivers is the Zhangshui River.”

"Oh, this is a punishment." Xiao Yu nodded gently, and then asked: "The court gave the White Dragon Zhao Juhua the surname 'Ao'. Will it be recognized by the Four Seas Dragon Palace?"

Master Qin sighed: “Even when the Emperor was at the peak of his power, humanity could suppress Chinese Shintoism, but water and land are different after all.

The million-strong army of the Human Emperor is just a drop in the ocean in the vast East China Sea.

As long as the Dragon King stays calm and doesn't rashly leave the ocean, probably only the Heavenly Navy can suppress him.

Although the Emperor of Man has established the 'Four Seas Fleet', it is a fleet of the human world, which can conquer island nations thousands of miles away, but cannot subdue the Dragon Palace in the deep sea."

He picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then continued, “So Great Qin and the Four Seas Dragon Palace have an agreement that the dragons in the Qinling Dragon Cave are all descendants of the Ao family.

Dragons are lustful by nature, except for real dragons, which will be immediately recognized by the Dragon Palace and given the surname "Ao" after birth.

The other hybrids of dragon fish, such as the blue-eyed green dragon fish, the purple-scaled lightning eel, the jade dragon yellow river carp, and the black loach swordfish. These dragon fish can transform into real dragons after crossing the Dragon Gate.

But if they cannot cross the Dragon Gate, the Ao family will exile them to all corners of the world.

Originally, there was only one Qionglong in the Qinling Dragon Cave who had committed a crime and had been imprisoned there for tens of thousands of years.

Later, the dragon veins of the Ying family flourished, and the dragon energy in the dragon cave flourished. Only then did the Qin people start looking for the Huanlong family to raise dragons.

My master's family is not inferior to the Huanlong clan. Several generations have served as the Dragon Riders of the Qin Dynasty.

The dragon species that were raised were originally those that failed to leap over the Dragon Gate and were abandoned by the Ao dragon clan.

In any case, they are all descendants of the Four Dragon Kings.

Moreover, Queen Mother Zhao also gave them the surname of the country (Zhao and Ying have the same ancestor, and Ying Zheng is Ying's Zhao Zheng). Now adding the surname 'Ao' is definitely not an insult to the Four Seas Dragon Clan."

"Even the dragon clan couldn't raise a dragon fish, but Shimen was able to help raise it into a real dragon. They are worthy of being the most famous dragon-controlling clan in China." Xiaoyu exclaimed.

"This is a craft passed down from our ancestors, fortunately we have not disgraced our ancestors. Moreover, we can raise dragons with the help of the dragon energy in the dragon veins of the Qin Dynasty. The ancestral dragon energy in the Qinling Mountains is sufficient, so we can raise so many real dragons."

Master Qin had a look of joy and pride on his face, but he kept being humble in his words.

Xi Juan asked curiously, "After Master successfully raises a dragon, will the real dragon transformed from the dragon fish be released?"

"Well, this is an ancient tradition, and it is also the purpose of the human king raising dragons. Raising a real dragon and placing it in the rivers, lakes and seas within one's territory will enable it to obey the imperial court's orders and try to ensure good weather on both sides of the river.

The foundation of a country lies in agriculture.

It ensures favorable weather, abundant harvests, and a prosperous and stable country." Master Qin Dao.

Xiao Yu sighed: “The Lord’s idea is good, but they underestimated the dragon race’s reproductive ability.

Even the descendants of the four sea dragon kings can’t get the slightly better positions, so how can the dragons raised by the imperial court get a chance?”

Master Qin shook his head and said, “Brother Dao only sees that the dragon race is prosperous now, but he does not know that in the ancient times, the dragon race had a hard time and was almost extinct.

Even in the ancient era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there were not many dragons.

Many noble ancient dragon royal families and kings fled to the four corners of the world and became wild dragons.

They lost their clan's fortune and the favor of heaven.

Later, the Ao family was recruited by the Heavenly Court and helped the Emperor of Heaven to establish the water-based Shinto in the human world. With the help of the dragon energy of our human race, the dragon nature flourished, the dragon roots regained vitality, and became very fertile. In fact, it can be said that they have many offspring, but it is mainly because the dragon race is long-lived.

For example, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, has lived for millions of years. Even if he only gives birth to a real dragon once every ten thousand years, he should have hundreds of princes in his family.

But in the whole Chinese land, there are only four seas and five lakes, eight rivers and four canals, three rivers and nine schools. There is only a limited number of seats for the Dragon King.

Nowadays, there are no longer enough thrones in Shenzhou to go around, and the dragon clan has begun to expand outward.

In the barbarian countries outside of Shenzhou, the Ao clan dragon king can also be seen. "

When Xiaoyu heard this, he immediately thought of the second son of the Zhai family, General Wutoulong.

Zhai Ergou said that the Dragon King of the West Sea asked him to reincarnate in Tianmen Town on the banks of the Black Dragon River, with the intention of planning the inheritance of the ancient dragon of Jihe Water Palace.

However, the Jihe Water Palace incident has long ended, and the Wulong General Temple is still very popular, and there is a trend of growth.

Considering the strangeness of the great god Bashe - he threw the throne of the Black Dragon River god into the Ji River Water Palace and let others inherit it.

Once the great god Bashe runs away (ascends to heaven), to whom will the two most fertile waters in the Xisha region, the Hualong River and the Heilong River, belong?

Of course, Xiaoyu would definitely say: everything belongs to her godsons and grandchildren.

But the Dragon King of the West Sea didn't seem to think so.

How can two Dragon King Temples be built beside a big river?
