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

Chapter 863 Goodbye Tiger Minister
"Teacher, have you discovered anything?" Xi Juan asked curiously.

"Indeed, I found something! I sneaked into the Dragon Palace and saw the old dragon. It turned out to be an ancient dragon with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation. Do you know what an ancient dragon is?

As long as the ancient dragon awakens the great magical powers in its blood, it will be born with authority over the water of the three realms.

If you encounter an ancient dragon that possesses the blood of ancient dragons and has lived for a very long time, you'd better behave yourself and don't say things like "I'm not afraid of dragons."

As the saying goes, the ancient dragons are the modern dragon insects.

This dragon is hardly the same species as the 'modern bugs' you have seen in the past.

The gap is as big as that between a python and a real dragon. "Teacher Wuyazi warned sternly.

She did not tell him that the Chixiao Palace was suspected to hide the dragon vein of a real dragon.

It’s not that I don’t trust Xi Juan.

In fact, she really hoped that her disciple would have a good ending.

Don’t learn from “Rou Dao Ren’s” good brother Zhongli Mei, who was obsessed with making achievements but chose the wrong lord.

But once she revealed the secret to Xi Juan, even if Xi Juan kept his mouth shut, the secret would still be leaked.

For ordinary people, every thought in life is known by ghosts and gods.

Xiaoyu is good at divination and can hide herself as well as her discoveries.

Xi Juan couldn't keep the secret.

Moreover, Xiaoyu's disclosure of the secret to him was itself the same as the disclosure of the secret.

Heaven and earth know it, and perhaps spirits and ghosts know it too.

For example, the Six-Eared Macaque who is as famous as Wukong, for example, Shunfenger, for example, Diting.

The only way to avoid leaking the secret is to not tell it yourself, or even better, keep it secret yourself.

Xiaoyu strictly guarded the secret concerning Liu Bang's life, not for Liu Bang, but for herself: not to be contaminated by cause and effect and karma, not to incur endless calamity, and not to be punished by heaven.

Why does she, at such a young age, have to endure the three disasters of thunder that occur once every five hundred years?
Compared with leaking the secret and letting the "Qingsong Taoist Child" of the Qin Dynasty cut off Liu Bang's life, killing Xiu Ge and changing the fate of the northern border of Shenzhou are child's play.

The key point is, she is willing to kill Xiu Ge and change the fate of Northern Xinjiang.

What can she get by harming the "pure stranger" Liu Bang?
There is no benefit at all, but she will be struck by lightning. What does she want?

"The Yellow River waterway should be more important than Zhaoyang Lake, right? Why would such a powerful ancient dragon be the water god in the lake, while the Dragon King, who is not as capable as him, can hold a high position?" Xi Juan asked.

"Perhaps his surname is not 'Ao', or his surname is 'Ao' but he belongs to a distant branch."

After a pause, Xiao Yu continued, "I guess that the Dragon King of Zhaoyang Lake should be a distant relative of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.

The higher the generation, the longer the life span, and the more the ancient dragon bloodline can be retained."

She really didn't mean to scare the child.

She herself has mastered the magical powers of the ancient dragon and can transform into a young ancient dragon. She is very familiar with the breath of ancient dragons.

The red dragon in Zhaoyang Lake is definitely not weaker than He Bo in strength, and its bloodline is very ancient. It is indeed an ancient dragon. It is stronger than the nun dragon of Pushan, but cannot be compared with the "Yellow Dragon Taoist" seen in the Dragon Ball of Jihe Water Palace.

Taoist Huanglong is a real ancient dragon, an ancient divine dragon.

This red dragon looks a bit like a "modern insect", so Xiaoyu guessed that he belonged to a branch of the Ao family.

"What is water power? Why did ancient dragons have water power, but modern dragons have become dragon insects?" Xi Juan asked curiously.

Xiao Yu pondered and said, "As for the ancient secrets, I don't know the details.

It is just a guess that when the world was first created, the Ancestral Dragon was given the authority over water, the Phoenix was given the authority over the sky, and the Qilin was given the authority over the earth and mountains.

At that time, our human race had not yet been born, and Nuwa had not yet emerged.

The dragon, phoenix and unicorn, three tribes are fighting for supremacy, to compete for the supreme throne of the Lord of the Three Realms.

Just looking at the current results, it is obvious that they are a fight between the clam and the crane, and the fisherman is the one that benefits.

Probably when the Heavenly Court incorporated the 'Ao Dragon Clan', their innate authority was taken away.

Now they are water gods, and the power of water gods is granted by "heaven".

This heaven is the heaven, not the natural heaven. "

Xi Juan thought about it for a moment and asked again: "If they don't hand over the power of water, the Heavenly Court won't kill them. Why should they hand it over? It's just like the Dragon King of Zhaoyang Lake."

Xiao Yu said: "Just like the Dragon King of Zhaoyang Lake, he is so powerful but can only occupy a small piece of the lake?
Although the Ao dragon clan was cowardly, they did receive tremendous benefits from Heaven.

The four seas and five lakes, eight rivers and four canals, three rivers and nine streams, the essence of the world's water veins, all belong to them.

If you are unwilling to give up the power over water, you can only move away from the Central Plains and seek survival in the wilderness.

I once encountered a female dragon, she had ancient blood, she was not as good as the crocodile you killed. "

Pushan's nun dragon is stronger than the crocodile dragon, but she is not as free and majestic as the crocodile dragon.

The crocodile was unlucky and met Xi Juan by accident.

If nothing unexpected happened, he acted as the black glove of the Four Seas Dragon King, killed Zhao Juhua, and occupied the Zhangshui River himself. The Four Seas Dragon King only said: The evil dragon occupied the Zhangshui River, but the court took away the Zhangshui God's seat, it is not our responsibility!

However, Pushan even lost his identity as one of the "Eight Heavenly Dragons".

Even at the peak of her life, when she was a "dragon" in Lingshan, she was not as majestic and elegant as the river god of Shenzhou.

"Splash~~" The master and disciple swam for dozens of miles before they emerged from the water.

Xiaoyu stared at the west with a gloomy expression.

Xi Juan was very tactful and asked, "Teacher, do you want to meet that old friend who has the clairvoyance?"

Xiao Yu sighed: "Although we are old acquaintances, we can't be considered friends. We still have a lot of grudges!"

Xi Juan glanced at the sky and said, "It's still early for sunset. Can I accompany you?"

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, this evil relationship must end.

I'll go see him first today and grasp his energy so that I can calculate the direction next time.

Be alert later, let's pretend to run into them by chance and make sure we don't let anyone get caught."

Xi Juan was surprised and asked, "Since we are old acquaintances, why can't he recognize the teacher?"

"Time has passed, and both he and I have changed a lot." Xiaoyu said.

Guan Huchen's change is indeed quite big.

Ten years ago, he had three strands of beautiful beard that reached his chest, a square face with a purple-red color, and a big sword in his hand, dressed like Guan Gong. Now he cut his beard and trimmed it into a fierce beard like Zhang Fei.

His square face has become a little fatter, rounder, and his skin has become much whiter.

He was still riding his red smoke horse, but the weapon on his waist was changed to a five-foot-long two-handed broadsword.

The change in appearance is secondary; the main thing is temperament and strength.

This fellow has already become a human immortal, and has also condensed the form of immortal martial arts. His aura is as deep and majestic as an abyss and a mountain.

A pair of immortal eyes, clear as crystal, with divine light as bright as the moon, as if they can see through the evil in people's hearts, and see through any traps and dangers.

Ten years ago, anyone who saw Hu Chen would praise him as a "tiger general"; ten years later, others would praise him for his master's bearing and being a martial arts master.

"My lord, I'm sorry. My clairvoyance alarmed the Dragon King, causing you to be reprimanded by him."

Hu Chen knelt on one knee in front of a silver-haired old man and said with a guilty look on his face.

The old man has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and his bearing is extraordinary.

He looked to be over 60 years old, with almost all his hair and beard white, with only some gray and black remaining at the roots.

She was wearing a wide-sleeved gown made of silver-grey satin, a black belt around her waist, a tall gold crown on her head, and white worry-free shoes on her feet. This was the attire of a noblewoman from the Qin Dynasty.

"Haha, I totally expected you to alarm him." The old man smiled and stretched out his hand to help Hu Chen up. A smug look flashed in his eyes, and he said, "You did a good job. I have taken it into account now."

The young nobleman beside him asked in surprise, "Father, Brother Long didn't see anything, and we were scolded by the Dragon King. How come you took it to heart?"

Well, not only did Hu Chen’s appearance, temperament, and strength change, but even his name changed.

At this time, he was called "Lü Long" instead of Guan Huchen. The old man helped him change his name to avoid disaster for Huchen.

It’s no wonder, after changing his name, Xiaoyu really couldn’t find his whereabouts unless she used her clairvoyance.

Xiao Yu could only guess that he had encountered a fortuitous encounter based on the changes in the "Tiger Minister's Killing and Assassination Methods" in Zifu, and that his strength had increased rapidly in recent years.

The old man glanced at the lake in the distance and smiled faintly: "Sometimes you don't have to see something to be sure of the answer."

The noble son still didn't quite understand, "Father, what exactly do you want Brother Long to see? Why do we have to stay in Zhaoyang Lake for so many days?"

The old man glanced at his son and said calmly, "There is an emperor in the southeast, don't you know?"

The noble young man was stunned for a moment, and said, "Father, are you talking about the prophecy that was circulated throughout the world in the early years?"

There are actually several prophecies in the Qin Dynasty, all of which are very famous.

"The one who will destroy Qin is the Hu" was just one of the rumors, and the Qin imperial court kept it secret rather than spreading it widely among the people.

"The aura of an emperor is present in the southeast" became known throughout the world.

Emperor Ying Zheng himself said this.

In order to prevent this prophecy from coming true, Emperor Renhuangzheng did a lot of things. For example, he arranged for heavenly masters like "Qingsong Daotong" to build large-scale projects and destroy feng shui in Jiaxing, Yunyang, Dantu, Jinling and other places.

Jiaxing, Yunyang, Dantu, and Jinling are all places of great wealth in the southeast. Among them, Jinling City will become the capital of several dynasties in the future and nurture several dragon veins.

For example, Emperor Ren Huangzheng himself went to the southeast for inspection.

He is the Human Emperor. The so-called "Emperor's Qi" refers to the dragon Qi. The Human Emperor must have dragon Qi.

He brought his dragon energy to the southeast, didn't he make the prophecy of "there is the Son of Heaven's energy in the southeast" come true?
"I know that my father has been looking for the Emperor's Qi in the southeast. But coming to the big lake to look for the Emperor's Qi is like looking for fish in a tree. How can the Emperor's Qi be in the water?" The young master said with a smile.

"You are not worthy of counsel."

The old man flicked his sleeves and shouted, "It's getting late. We have to find a farm to stay the night before dark."

"Brother Shizhi, please help our lord onto the carriage. I will lead the servants to clear the way ahead." Hu Chen said to the young master with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Long." The young man bowed and turned around to help his agile father get into the spacious carriage.

A moment later, Hu Chen rode on a red smoke horse and walked in the lead, followed by eight strong men with swords on their waists.

Each of them rode a horse and followed Hu Chen in a line.

Then there were three horse-drawn carriages and twelve ox-drawn carts.

The carriages were all spacious and exquisite. In the second carriage, there were sounds of young women talking and laughing.

The ox cart was loaded with large boxes, all covered with a layer of straw curtains to block out the sun and rain.

The whole convoy consisted of more than 40 people, and it was quite impressive and eye-catching as they drove along the country roads.

"Eh!" After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, Hu Chen suddenly glanced towards the east in doubt, then turned his horse back to the curtain of the first carriage and said, "My lord, I found two suspicious people."

The old man raised his eyebrows, and silently calculated with his right hand hidden in his sleeve, "It shouldn't be someone from the Jing family, right?"

Hu Chen said: “According to my observations over the past few days, Jing Bo is rushing to Suiyang with his servants, probably for official business.

As for the four rangers he arranged, they chased all the way to the vicinity of Hu Ling and then stopped.

Last night, I was fooling around in a brothel called "Hongchunju" and never thought of really coming to hunt down the lord.

The two suspicious people I found came from the big lake in the east.

The reason why I felt they were suspicious and weird was that I had previously scanned Zhaoyang Lake and the surrounding lakes, the farthest being three thousand miles away, and had not seen these two people.

Now they suddenly appeared in the lake only thirty miles away from us, and were still flying towards the lake at a very fast speed, and were about to "encounter" our convoy.

It's probably not a coincidence, they may have also sensed my clairvoyance."

The old man calculated for a moment and said with a smile: "It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Keep going forward and don't worry."

Hu Chen took the order and left.

Sure enough, in less than half an incense stick of time, two people, one old and one young, jumped out of the lake, glided more than ten feet in the air, and landed directly on the side of the road, right next to the convoy.

"What a big golden carp with dragon whiskers!" The old man lifted the curtain, leaned out and took a look. His eyes were first attracted by the big fish carried on the boy's back.

"Wow, what a big fish! Could it be a spirit?"

In a car behind, two young women were also screaming.

The boy was not short, about 1.65 meters tall. But the big fish he was carrying on his back had a one-meter-high head that protruded from his head, and a tail more than one meter long that dragged on the ground.

The boy had a slim waist and a monkey back, but the big carp's body was three times as wide as his shoulders.

"Master Taoist, I am Shanfu Lu Wen, and I am here to greet you." The old man quickly turned his gaze to the old Taoist priest with white hair and beard, and took the initiative to jump off the carriage and bowed.

Xiao Yu also withdrew his gaze from Hu Chen, smiled and returned the greeting: "Lü Gong, I am Wuyazi, I bow to you."
