teardrops

Yuan Ji and Zhan Zhao stood by the Fire Lotus Pond. Yuan Ji chanted a mantra lightly, and the water in the pool gradually began to ripple, and then the water in the pool seemed to be boiling with steam. The lotus flower and lotus leaves in the Fire Lotus Pond not only did not intend to wither, There was a red light, and then the pool was churning, and a dark red sword inlaid with gold and jade slowly rose from the pool.Yuan Ji pulled the skirt of his clothes lightly, walked on the water, as if strolling in a garden, took down the sword, turned around and came back, as soon as he stepped back to the shore, the lotus flower instantly withered and turned yellow, and when it sank into the water, the whole pool seemed to change. Get muddy.

Yuan Ji handed the sword to Zhan Zhao with both hands: "Mr. Zhan, this sword is called 'Zhu Di'. It was originally the saber of my Majesty. The sword body is made of meteorite iron. However, the scabbard was made of the Wannian Xuanbing stone in the extreme north, and later His Majesty refined it with his own spiritual power, so it is unmatched in power. His Majesty sealed the sword here since he left the villa ten years ago. In order to guard the villa, he is actually guarding this sword. At this time of crisis, Yuan Ji has the courage to hand over this sword to the young master, hoping that the young master can control this sword and save the people from the fire and water."

Zhan Zhao looked at the sword, and it was quite heavy in his hand. The gold and purple jade were used to carve exquisite patterns of dragons and auspicious clouds, and inlaid with several bright gemstones. Just holding the sword in his hand, he felt a huge chill blowing towards his face. Knowing this The sword must be extraordinary.He asked again: "The old man's job is to guard this sword, but now he gives it away easily, isn't he not loyal to his duty? And this sword is the Dragon King's sword, how can a mere mortal Zhan use it to its full potential?"

Yuan Ji said again: "Mr. Zhan's words are wrong. The responsibility of the Dragon King is to stabilize the world and protect the creatures in the water world and the human world. Now that Feng Yi is making trouble, if he just sits and ignores it, then the creatures on both sides of the Yellow River will be in great trouble. Her Royal Highness was harmed by him, and now she has to unseal this sword. Your Majesty is an enlightened and benevolent Lord, if he finds out, he will not blame him." He paused again, "Even if there is any punishment, Yuan Ji is willing to bear it Of!"

Zhan Zhao saw that the old dragon was so righteous, he couldn't help being awed.Na Yuanji looked Zhan Zhao up and down again, and murmured: "But I don't know if I have a relationship with Emperor Zhu or not." He raised his head and said to Zhan Zhao, "Mr. Zhan, please pull out this sword and try it."

Zhan Zhao followed his words and deeds, just pulled out half of it, he could hear the sword whistling incessantly, but saw that the sword body was as smooth as a mirror, the color was almost transparent, but there was a red brilliance flowing in it, which was dazzling, followed by a The heat burst out, showing its sharpness, as if the sword was about to turn into a fire dragon and fly away!When the sword was out of its sheath, Zhan Zhao waved a few sword flowers towards the Fire Lotus Pond casually, like a dragon chant endlessly, and the sword energy was so fierce that Yaoyao actually drew a wide gap in the pool water, and the water in the pool was churning instantly. A large amount of steam billowed up, scorching heat.

Yuan Ji smiled: "I didn't expect this sword to be so predestined to Mr. Zhan. This sword exudes the power of supreme flames. Once it is unsheathed, without the barrier of the black ice scabbard, ordinary people may not be able to withstand it. And Emperor Zhu seems to have recognized Mr. Zhan as his new master, and Mr. Zhan can use it without any hindrance. It seems that it is God's will." But the smile was only fleeting, and the look of worry surged up again in an instant: "But Mr. Zhan , it is still dangerous to deal with Feng Yi."

"Feng Yi was originally the God of the Yellow River canonized by the Emperor of Heaven. He himself is the righteous god of Haotian, not an ordinary evildoer. When he was in charge of the Yellow River, the Emperor of Heaven gave him a magic weapon--water jade. This water jade contains infinite magic power. The power of the earth cannot be defended forcefully, we can only try to destroy it. And Emperor Zhu's sword has been tempered by His Majesty the Dragon King, it is invincible, it is the nemesis of water jade."

"Then may I ask, old man, where is the water jade hidden, and how can we destroy it?" Please be on the safe side. It must be in the Shenshui Mansion of the Yellow River." Yuan Ji paused for a moment, then frowned again, "Mr. Zhan is a mortal, and this old slave can try to make him move freely in the water, but it is difficult to go here quietly. Sneaking into his mansion silently, even entering his mansion, is extremely dangerous. If Mr. Zhan's mortal aura is discovered by Feng Yi, it will be a disaster."

Zhan Zhao stood up straight, and said: "If there is a way, you must try it, you can't just sit and die." Yuan Ji nodded in agreement, and said: "The old slave once learned that there are dozens of miles near here along the Yellow River. A village named Chenjia Village was originally a land of fertile water and soil, but in the past few years the Yellow River flooded year after year, and the village was hit by disasters one after another, so the villagers’ livelihood was already difficult. Later, Feng Yi entrusted a dream to the patriarch of Chenjia Village and told him that every year To sacrifice a beautiful woman who has not left the pavilion and throw them into the Yellow River will ensure that there will be no more floods on one side. The villagers have long been suffering from floods, so they obeyed his words and threw girls of the right age into the Yellow River every year. Although Feng Yi obeyed The promise did not cause the Yellow River to submerge the land of Chenjia Village, but the families with daughters were terrified, and many of them were forced to leave their homes and go into exile."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao couldn't help being furious: "Then Feng Yi has done too much evil!" Yuan Ji nodded and said: "This old slave heard about this in his early years, but he couldn't leave the villa for some unavoidable reason, so although he is extremely serious about this matter, Angry, but helpless."

"The annual sacrifice is autumn. If the old slave is not mistaken, it happens to be these few days. Whenever the woman who is sacrificed is thrown into the river, the access to the water palace of the Yellow River will be opened, and the people who enter the water palace at this time are mortals. , if Young Master Zhan sneaks in at this time, he can enter Deshui Mansion safely."

Zhan Zhao nodded: "What the old man said is quite reasonable, time is running out now, please tell the old man the way to Chenjiacun, Zhan will be on the road right away."

"Siyu Villa is surrounded by mountains on all sides. It is a land of desperation. Ordinary people can't get in and out. They can only sneak out of the cold pool, or use their mana to fly away. The old slave is ashamed, his mana is low, and he can only try to send the young master out. But after arriving at Chenjia Village, you can only rely on the young master to enter the water mansion, find the water jade, and destroy the water jade."

Zhan Zhao raised his hands together: "Where is the old man, I am grateful to the old man for giving me the sword and helping me out of righteousness. Then, please send Zhan to the Chen family village."

Yuan Ji nodded slightly, and was about to cast a spell when he heard a voice outside the door: "Eunuch Yuan Ji, please wait a moment!"

The two turned around and saw that Rui'er was leaning lightly on the threshold, still panting, but her eyes had recovered quite a bit, looking at Zhan Zhao with eyes as pure as snow-capped mountains and green springs: "My lord, do you know that this journey is dangerous?" Zhan Zhao Zhao's heart moved slightly, and Ruyu's cheeks turned red, but he replied without hesitation: "Zhan knows that he is going to die, but how can he just sit back and watch the people on both sides of the Yellow River suffer? Even if it is ten thousand deaths, Zhan will not refuse. "

Rui'er's eyes flickered, and she was a little cunning: "But my lord, if we go to Chenjia Village, the only one who will be sacrificed and thrown into the river will be the chosen woman. You are a dignified man, don't you want to pretend to be a woman instead of a woman?" That girl jumped into the river?"

Zhan Zhao's complexion immediately became redder, and he said in embarrassment: "It's because I didn't think about it." Rui'er chuckled and said, "I have a way, so let me pretend to be the sacrificial woman. I was given the spell 'Small Universe' by my master, which can store many things, so I wronged you and hid it in my bag. I lost the dragon ball. If I hide it deliberately, no one will be able to feel my real dragon breath. On the contrary, you are a mortal It's not surprising that the breath was detected by others. So I asked Mr. Yuanji to cast a spell and send me two to go together."

Yuan Ji was shocked, and said: "Princess, you must not. Now that your spiritual power is exhausted and you have been injured by Feng Yi, how can you be an enemy?"

Looking at the woman in front of him, Zhan Zhao thought that she had gone through hardships and almost lost her life, but she had no fear in the face of a strong enemy, but she couldn't bear to let her go on another adventure, and said softly: "This trip will let me Go, you... just rest here."

Rui'er raised her head and said to the two: "How can I stay out of this matter? Besides the lives of the people on both sides of the Yellow River are at stake, the emperor brother may also be in Feng Yi's hands. If my Dragon Ball is destroyed by Feng Yi, I can only be lost. But if it is true When it is a last resort, if I fight to the death, burn my true dragon power, or use the power of Fire Dragon Ball regardless of the cost, he may not be able to resist all of it."

Then he said to Zhan Zhao: "If I go with the young master, after entering the water mansion, look for the water jade, and destroy the water jade, the chance of success will increase by three points. Even if the water jade is destroyed, Feng Yi will not die immediately, there is still a chance What's more, this matter was originally caused by the Shui tribe, and you are so righteous, and I am originally from the Dragon tribe, so how can I let you go into danger alone?"

Zhan Zhao looked at the beautiful face and the soul-stirring eyes, and couldn't help but feel dazed for a while, unable to refuse anymore, he nodded his head slightly, but Yuan Ji was still unwilling, and said, "Princess..."

"Eunuch Yuanji! Now that the father and the emperor are not here, how dare you disobey my orders!" Rui'er's tone became tough. "Yes, princess..." Yuan Ji bowed his head and said, Rui'er's face softened again: "Mr. Yuan Ji, you have always been an upright person. I know that you were ordered by your father to guard this place. In fact, it is equivalent to being imprisoned here all the time. You also No complaints, no regrets. Now the human world and our Dragon Clan are facing a catastrophe, if everyone is afraid of death to seek peace for a while, how can we get through this crisis?"

Yuan Ji's face was complicated, and he said in a low voice: "Princess, you don't know something. It was Yuan Ji's fault that made His Majesty so many years..." He said loudly, "Yuan Ji obeys orders. I will send the princess and Mr. Zhan to Chenjia Village."
