The King of Beasts smiles but does not speak [Shan Hai Jing]

"Yo, Xiaotuanzi, are you alone?"

The man smiled and picked up the snow-white dumpling on the ground, and took a closer look.

"You are so young, you just transformed into eyes, and you don't even have claws. Have you been abandoned at such a young age?"

Tuanzi, who was still unable to speak, looked at the man ignorantly.

This man is so tall and so handsome.

It was better looking than all the spirit beasts he had encountered these days.

And the hand that this person held him was warm and full of strength.

This is a good man.

The man who was issued a good person card was still thinking about himself: "My name is Zhulong. From today onwards, we will officially know each other!"

The man carefully put the dumpling into the basket behind him.

"This backpack looks crude, but there is no way, I came out in a hurry, and I didn't expect to meet you. But don't worry, the house is still very warm, and there are a lot of delicious food, it won't freeze you , and won’t let you starve!”

Tuanzi was a little sleepy, but he was still trying to listen to the man's rambling.

Delicious, warm...

It sounds great.

Do you want a home? I hope this time, I won't be abandoned again.

Drowsiness overwhelmed reason, and darkness descended.

When he woke up again, the place in front of him had changed.

Xiaotuanzi looked at the residence in front of him in shock.

Men are so humble.

It is so magnificent and luxuriously decorated with the most precious Yuanxiang.

This is no ordinary warm nest.

Where is this?

Xiaotuanzi kept guessing secretly until a figure came over.

"Are you the dumpling he picked up?"

It was a child who spoke, who seemed to be no more than ten years old.

This child looks very good-looking, converted into a spirit beast——

This child has high spiritual potential.

It seems that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is here.

Xiaotuanzi secretly sighed in his heart, but he couldn't say hello to the child, so he could only convey a little kindness with his cute eyes.

The child seemed to have received this kindness, his cool expression softened suddenly, and he couldn't help reaching out his hand to touch the soft dumpling.

"My name is Dijiang, you have to remember me."

Xiaotuanzi pouted secretly, this guy is really domineering!

However, Emperor Jiang...

It sounds very domineering.

The spirit beast can only be given a name by heaven after it takes human form, so Xiaotuanzi has no name or number yet.

He's just a little dumpling.

Can't talk, can't crawl.

But he is not alone.

Di Jiang would come to see him every day and tell him some interesting things.

Most of the time, they were talking about that Candle Dragon.

Xiaotuanzi didn't find it annoying, he wanted to hear about Zhulong.

After all, that person was the first good person he met in this world, and he gave him a warm and comfortable home.

Zhulong is Xiaotuanzi's first family member.

But Zhulong was too busy.

From Dijiang's mouth, Xiaotuanzi already knew that Dijiang was not an ordinary spirit beast, he was the master of the Jiuming domain and the master of the world.

It turned out that the one who saved me was the most powerful person in the world!

No wonder he is so good looking.

Although Zhulong was very busy, he still came to visit Xiaotuanzi occasionally, and would also tell Xiaotuanzi what happened recently.

"Look at this sword, I made it for Di Jiang!"

Zhulong raised a wooden sword and waved it in front of Xiaotuanzi.

"Although it is a wooden sword, don't underestimate it, it is very powerful!"

His eyebrows were flying, and he looked very happy.

"Also, I recently made a new friend named Ying Long. Although he also has the word 'dragon' in his account, he is different from me, but he is a real dragon. It is said that he is also the master of the dragon... hey , that drunkard, it's really hard to imagine him leading a clan!"

Xiaotuanzi blinked his eyes hard twice, meaning——

I am listening.

Zhulong couldn't help laughing: "What a good dumpling. Hurry up and grow up. When you grow up, I will take you to travel abroad. The outside world is very interesting."

Outside?Are you going outside?

"I'm going to leave with Dijiang for a while recently, and I'll arrange my subordinates to take care of you. You have to be obedient and wait for me to come back, okay?"

Xiaotuanzi blinked hard again.

Well, my lord, I will wait for your return.

Zhulong smiled, raised his hand and rubbed the dumpling.

Then you have to come back quickly, I will miss you at home!

Zhulong looked at Xiaotuanzi, as if he suddenly thought of something, he sighed suddenly.

"If only my little dumpling could wake up like you."

Xiaotuanzi knew who he was talking about.

There are two ways for spirit beasts to breed offspring.

One is the same as humans, the mother conceives and gives birth to young.

The other is the unique method only for spirit beasts with high status and weight that can communicate with the heavens——

Ask heaven for a son.

It's just that there are too few spirit beasts that meet the second condition, so this method only exists in legends.

Xiaotuanzi never thought that one day he would be able to witness such a thing.

——The dumpling of Zhulong was exactly what he asked for.

But for some reason, this offspring bestowed by the Dao of Heaven is unusual.It didn't move, didn't breathe, didn't have body temperature, and it kept the appearance before Tuanzi hadn't awakened.

This is not uncommon, but it is very strange to maintain this state for so long and refuse to change form.

Not to mention other people, even Xiao Tuanzi, who has never seen the world much, is guessing that this gift from heaven may be dead.

Everyone said so, and Di Jiang also said so when he came to whisper to Xiaotuanzi.But Zhulong refused to give up, he insisted on waiting for the group to wake up.

Zhulong went back to his room, and carried the heavenly gifted dumpling next to Xiaotuanzi.

Xiaotuanzi looked at his own kind.

It's really motionless!Xiaotuanzi sighed sadly in his heart.

"Then I'll trouble you to take care of him when I'm not around!"

Candle Dragon smiled softly.

"You have to get along well with him. I hope that when I come back, you have already transformed into a human, and he... he has also woken up."

The last sentence was suddenly heavy, Xiaotuanzi glanced at Zhulong, trying to cheer him up.

do not worry!You are so kind, Tiandao will definitely not treat you badly, this dumpling will definitely wake up, when he wakes up, I will take him to play together, and I will not let anyone bully him!

And you, remember your promise, take the two of us on a tour!

Zhulong talked to the two dumplings again, then left.

The white dress disappeared at the door, leaving only the eye-catching golden robe still in sight.

How long will it take him to come back?

...Oh, before he left, I already started to miss him.

Xiaotuanzi felt ashamed and annoyed at his childishness.

Let's go to bed first, maybe he will come back when he wakes up.

Xiaotuanzi fell asleep.

He slept for a long time and had a beautiful dream.

He dreamed that not only did he transform into a human form, but also the tuanzi around him, both beautiful and domineering. Zhulong was so happy that he made a sword for each of them, which was as beautiful as the one given to Dijiang back then.

Xiaotuanzi carefully pinned the sword to his waist, and carried it wherever he went, not to mention how proud he was!

But......

wake up.

The Lord still hasn't come back.

He has had many similar dreams, but every time he wakes up, time seems to be frozen.

Later, Dijiang came back.

He was devastated, his whole person was completely different from the past, full of gloom and hostility, and no longer the slightest clarity of the past.

What's up with him?

Also, what about my lord?

An ominous premonition welled up in Xiaotuanzi's heart.

He had never been so afraid.

The turmoil came suddenly, and Xiaotuanzi didn't know what happened, but he could see the people leaving in a hurry in the royal city.

The servants have all fled, and it seems that some country has rebelled and formed a new kingdom.

More and more people left, only a little maid stayed by Xiaotuanzi's side all the time, talking to him and lighting incense for him.

Xiaotuanzi knew that this was what he had heard, "loyalty".

Later, a long, long time passed.

He finally turned into a human form, and finally had the title bestowed by heaven.And that court lady has also gradually aged and died.

Xiao Tuanzi buried the court lady under the most beautiful tree in the royal city, and set up a simple tombstone for her in front of the tree.

It is indeed too simple, but there is no way, the place is dilapidated, and there is really no decent thing to make a tombstone.

After burying the little maid, Xiao Tuanzi took another dumpling out of the city gate.

This dumpling still hasn't changed form, but gratifyingly, it has breathed.

This is the only good thing in recent times, and it is also a great good thing.

——Although, the transformation seems to be far away.

He put the dumpling firmly into the pannier behind him, and talked to him while looking for the road.

"This pannier looks crude, but there's nothing you can do about it. The current situation is special... In the future, I will definitely find the best room for you. It's warm and big, and there are a lot of delicious food, no It will freeze you, and it will not make you hungry!"

"Xiaotuanzi, you need to wake up quickly, I'll take you on a sightseeing tour!"

"By the way, you don't know what my name is, do you? My name is Bai Ze. From now on, I will take care of you!"

It's good that I'm not alone.

Perhaps one day, this little dumpling will be like an ordinary dumpling, becoming the tall, beautiful and mighty spirit beast in his dream.

At that time, the Lord will definitely be overjoyed!

Lord, we'll see each other again, won't we?

The author has something to say:

It's the last day, exciting! ! !

Three more tomorrow (oh it’s already past zero, that’s today), and then the main text will be over.

But there will definitely be a few extra chapters to write about everyone's daily life, the stories of Mingwei (that is, Dijiang) and Zhulong's past lives, the story of Liang Yu, and maybe the daily life of other supporting characters.
