Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 160 Dependent Origination Empty
It was a bone dragon, the size of a mountain, crawling on the top of the bronze palace, as if it would cross the boundary between life and death in the next second, spit out a faint blue dragon's breath, and spread its bone wings to cover the sky and the sun.

It was lying there, as if it was sleeping. There were two long bony horns extending from the side of the skull, and the two rows of ribs opened to both sides like a bloody mouth, revealing the empty cavity inside. The spines were connected together, like It was a winding snake, with ferocious bony spurs and bony protrusions extending from the joints. Compared with it, Lu Mingfei looked like a small ant, and it would fall out of the gap between the teeth if it was thrown into the mouth.

The ancient dragon I saw in the Three Gorges last time was like an immature child in front of this big guy. It was hard to imagine how it would soar in the sky when it was alive.

Lu Mingfei immediately understood where to find the dragon scales. He had already seen some kind of immortal scales emitting a bronze light scattered on the top of the bronze palace.

This is a bronze palace completely different from the one buried in the Three Gorges Dam. Huge copper pillars support the dome. There are no walls and the whole is hollowed out. It seems to be newly built. The surface is smooth and there is no rust at all. Only the dome extends to both sides. Like a super large altar, carrying the dead dragon body.

Lu Mingfei withdrew his gaze, the destination was the top of the palace, and retrieved a piece of dragon scale from there. He looked down, the whole person had been accelerated to the extreme under the action of gravity, and there were at most ten seconds before the fall, and he had to be there before opening the parachute.

But there is no ground under your feet, and all you can see with your naked eyes is gray water. If it is really as recorded in ancient books, then this water has no buoyancy, and it will just keep falling if you fall into it. No matter how hard you struggle, it will have no effect , drowning is the final outcome.

The only place that seems to have a foothold is the golden pilgrimage road, but that road is not directly under Lu Mingfei.

In short, he had to open the parachute first. He pulled down the control line of the parachute, and the parachute opened immediately, and the inflation was released. Floating towards the distance.

He manipulated the angle of the parachute, shifting himself little by little towards the golden road.

This is a very delicate job. Fortunately, Lu Mingfei has many experiences of falling from high altitudes. Based on experience, he can understand what kind of movements will float to the left and what movements will float to the right. Through a little fine-tuning, he can He successfully reached the top of the golden road.

After a short distance, he discovered that the road was made up of huge golden pillars, like Monkey King's Dinghaishenzhen, standing forever in the gray ocean.

Lu Mingfei stepped on the gold pillar, and the parachute fell to the water surface. The moment it touched it, it began to sink at a slow speed. Lu Mingfei took off the parachute bag and dropped this thing that was not conducive to movement. He took out the Mark Love pistol in his waist.

At this time, the parachute had completely sank to the bottom of the water, and Lu Mingfei fired a shot at the surface of the water.

The ice flower bloomed, and the condensed ice immediately spread, but after a while, the ice began to sink at a constant speed like a parachute.

Lu Mingfei pulled another bullet from the magazine, walked to the edge of the golden pillar, squatted down, and carefully placed the bullet in the water. Even if it was a metal object, it sank at the same slow speed as a light parachute.

This gray sea doesn't seem to pay attention to physical characteristics, as long as it falls into it, it will treat you equally and devour you.

There is no place on the gold pillar for hooks to rely on. All the walls are smooth, so you must be careful.

Lu Mingfei stood up and looked at the end of the golden road, those copper pillars that lead straight to the sky.

Only a small part of these golden pillars is exposed above the water, and there are gaps of about two to three meters between each golden pillar, which are filled by the gray sea, and the diameter of a golden pillar is about two meters.

If you want to reach the Bronze Palace, you can only jump over it step by step like a frog jumping on a lotus leaf. One mistake is enough to be fatal.

Lu Mingfei took a rough look, bent his knees slightly, and jumped to the surface of another golden pillar.

"Is it probably this strength?" He glanced back and started the chain jump.

The speed is very fast. After he is proficient, he even has to cross 2 or 3 gold pillars in one step. The time is passing by, and the timer in his hand has reached the 15th minute. He finally arrived at the gate of the palace.

This is a completely dead world. Lu Mingfei couldn't hear any other sounds during the journey, the sound of the waves, the sound of the wind. There was nothing, everything was dead, which made people feel depressed.

He looked up, and the majestic bone dragon was right in front of him, staring into the distance with empty eye sockets, nothingness.

The entire palace is supported by 48 copper pillars, each of which is engraved with pictures, as well as complex symbols and characters.

There is no doubt that these are precious materials that have not yet been discovered, and may record the history of the dragon race that humans have never known.

Lu Mingfei stopped at the door for 2 minutes to observe the pictures on the two thickest copper pillars at the door.

He didn't carry any photo equipment, and he couldn't share these things with the academy when he took them. He couldn't explain where he found them.

But the images can be understood by everyone, even a three-year-old child can read the comics with gusto.

The first copper pillar depicts a giant dragon with a man standing on top of the dragon's head, and prostrate humans and other dragons at the feet, surrounded by flames.

The dragon should be "Norton", and it must be his younger brother "Constantine" who can stand on top of him.

This should record the prosperous scene when Norton ruled the territory, but those human beings have some very strange things. Everyone has a third eye on their forehead, which is different from "Constantine" and "Norton" when they were in human form. look the same.

The second copper pillar records "Norton" flying in the sky. Under his feet are erupting volcanoes and magma. Indistinctly, a prototype of a bronze pillar can be seen in the mountain.

This should be the scene where "Norton" used "Candle Dragon" to cast this bronze palace, showing the great power of the King of Bronze and Fire.

One represents power to rule, and one represents supreme power.

From this point of view, the ruins of the prosperous ancient civilization of dragons all exist, but they are hidden in the Nibelungen. The corpse lying on the bronze palace should be the corpse of "Norton", which should be his original real body.

His former residence should be in Northern Europe, did he voluntarily abandon this huge dragon body?What is the purpose of going to China with Constantine across the continent?How important is it to let him and his younger brother hide their identities and become courtiers under Gongsun Shu?

There seem to be more and more mysteries, but the decline of dragon civilization is a mystery. The existing conjectures are all hypothetical. When the mixed races began to fight, the black king and white king had died, and the dragon civilization It has long since declined, and people know almost nothing about the history before that, and can only guess one or two from myths and legends.

Lu Mingfei continued to walk in, darkness covered his field of vision, he was wearing goggles with night vision function, to his surprise, the entrance turned out to be a staircase that turned upwards, it was not big, just big enough for a human to pass through .

He stepped on it and tried it hard. The steps did not fall off due to years of disrepair, and they were very stable.

It should be cast for Constantine, Lu Mingfei can't imagine that picture.

When the sky is clear, the dragon lies on the top of the palace to enjoy the lazy sunshine, while the boy in white steps up the steps and takes a nap on the neck of the dragon. Under the palace is the admiration of thousands of people. Worship them as gods.

Lu Mingfei walked up this revolving staircase without handrails and climbed up step by step while observing the layout of the entire bronze palace.

A very empty hall, nothing, dead and dark.

Living here is not comfortable at all, the wind leaks when it rains, and there is no bed, or is it that creatures like dragons like to eat in the wind and sleep in the open, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon?

Lu Mingfei shook his head, and looked up at the only hole that was illuminated by light. It was the end of the stairs, and the destination was above.

He glanced at the timer, and another 5 minutes had passed, and there were 40 minutes left, which seemed to be plenty, but he had to consider the return journey, and he could spend 10 minutes here at most, so he accelerated his pace to up run.

After passing through the hole, the field of vision finally became clear, and a huge dragon rib blocked Lu Mingfei's front.

The surface is as transparent as white jade, without a trace of flesh and blood. It stands to reason that even if such a large body dies, it will only become a mummified corpse. But now only bones can be seen, and there are very few scales, only a few scattered on the bronze wall.

Around the dragon's body, there are all kinds of weapons, including spears, swords, knives, and maces scattered around the edges.

Lu Mingfei didn't care about those things, and picked up a scale, which was as big as a washbasin, and it felt heavy in his hands, as if he was holding a large piece of lead, and he had to use two hands to hold it.

Before he went down, he took another look at the corpse. Even if it was dead, the bone dragon still had the majesty of a king, and the size alone gave it a great sense of oppression, which was completely different from that snarky joker.

So which side is real?

Old Tang must have regained his memory at the last moment, but he committed suicide willingly.

Standing alone at the highest point of the palace, it is very lonely, only his younger brother is with him, after thousands of years, but the only younger brother was killed, no wonder he would get angry.

I don't know if he had a little bit of happiness and happiness when he thought about the experience of being "Ronald Tang", so as to resolve his loneliness immersed in the gap of time.

"I hope we can meet again." Lu Mingfei fixed the scales on his back with a buckle, and waved at the head of the bone dragon.

"Potato Chips, how are you?" Mai Shutoku sucked on the juice straw.

Su Enxi frowned, and tapped her fingers quickly on the keyboard, "Lu Mingfei disappeared too quickly, the signal disappeared within 10 seconds of landing, if he didn't take the initiative to crush the signal signal, then he should have successfully entered the Niber Dragon root."

"So how should he get out after he goes in?" Mai Jiutoku came over curiously: "It's a different space, it's like a parallel time and space, how can he come back?"

"The boss said that the key lies in the connection with the present world." Su Enxi said: "There is a saying in Buddhism called 'dependent origin and emptiness'. According to Westerners' point of view, the most basic existence of matter is elementary particles, which have their own entities. But the Buddhist point of view does not exist. For example, a pebble, Westerners will disassemble it into atoms and quarks, but Buddhists believe that it does not have a substance itself, but "self-nature is inherently empty", which is determined by each person. All kinds of causes and conditions come together.”

"It means that various conditions gathered together to form this cobblestone? For example, the erosion of water flow, the erosion of wind and sand?"

"That's almost what it means." Su Enxi nodded, "Buddhism believes that fate is born, and fate is destroyed when it is separated. This is the case for everything."

"Then what should we do, what conditions constitute Lu Mingfei? Is it his parents or brothers and sisters."

"Ghost knows!" Su Enxi complained, "I don't even learn Buddhism, I can't even connect to the signal of the signal device!"

Philosophy always makes people collapse. It is said that the departments of philosophy and mathematics are rich in mental illness, because they cannot bear the torture of thinking, and they fall into a strange circle.

Su Enxi is young, so naturally she would not become a monk to study philosophy so early. She wrote down the above passage from the Internet. She can logically understand this statement, but she cannot apply it in practice. .

She was a little crazy, 50 minutes had passed, she had been trying to connect to Lu Mingfei's signal, typing on the keyboard to adjust the frequency, but Lu Mingfei was really like entering a black hole, even the electromagnetic signal was sucked away.

"The dusk is almost over." Mai Tokuro glanced at his watch, "So you've been typing on the computer for so long, but you haven't made any progress?"

"Do you think typing on the keyboard is easy!" Su Enxi glared at Mai Jiude, "You know what! You can't write 'hello world' even if you are asked to write it."

"I'm a ninja, of course I don't know 'hellow kitty', 'hellow world'." Mai Tokuku said, "But you are the one who can't do anything now, you can't do anything, we don't even know what to do."

"Are you a stress freak! Knowing that I can't help but keep talking! At this time, you should say come on, you know!" Su Enxi said through gritted teeth.

Mai Tokuro shook his head and sighed.

Su Enxi's blood pressure went up again. She was just about to wipe honey on her mouth when a voice suddenly caught her attention.

"It's connected." Zero said lightly, pointing at the computer screen.

"What!" Su Enxi immediately turned her attention back to the computer, and tapped the keyboard again: "It's really connected! What did you do Sanwu!"

"Press Enter." Zero said.

"Enter? But that key?" Su Enxi frowned.

"Wait. I got it! Dependent origin and emptiness! This is conditioned emptiness!" Su Enxi suddenly realized, took Ling's hand, pulled her to the computer, and said cheerfully: "Fate arises and dies, we are here and the road You are the one who is most involved in non-cause and effect! Classmate Zero!"
