Chapter 1 Looking for the Dragon

Although Yongzhou is far away, it has always been a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
According to the "History of Tang Yongzhou Chronicles", Yongzhou has "wonderful mountains, turbulent waters, and many strange people and scholars."
An unofficial history says: Poor mountains and bad waters bring out unruly people.
Yongzhou, Fengyuan County, Ye County.
Ye County is backed by Minshan Mountain and faces Tonghe River in front. This small county is divided by steep mountains. Although the mountains are not high, they are extremely steep. Some villages are only dozens of miles apart, separated by mountains. The villagers It will be difficult to communicate with each other throughout my life.
Two figures appeared on the winding mountain road, one was a young scribe and the other was a bookboy, who looked about twelve or thirteen years old. Although the scribe's scribe's robe was clean, it had been washed away and some inconspicuous areas were still there. He patched it up secretly. Although he looked a little downcast, he was handsome and fair, his back was straight, and he had the arrogance of a scholar.
The two masters and servants seemed to be strolling leisurely, and the scribe would occasionally stop and look around, as if admiring the scenery. However, the two of them seemed to be walking very slowly, and in a short time they had walked from the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain, covering most of the distance they usually need to walk. For an hour, miles of mountain road were behind me.
Standing on the top of the mountain, you can naturally take in the surrounding dozens of miles. The scribe looked around at the rolling hills, then looked at the small valley at the foot of the mountain, and sighed: "If I hadn't been here in person, how would I have known that the storm had gathered here? I originally I have been preparing to hunt for dragons for ten years, but I didn’t expect that I would gain something in the first year.”
The book boy was also looking at the surrounding mountains and landforms, and wondered: "This place is remote, with shallow water and bare mountains. If you are lucky, there will be a real dragon?"
The scribe pointed to the small valley ahead and said, "That's Longchi. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."
"With such a small dragon pond, how big can a real dragon be?"
The scribe said calmly: "Other people look for dragons mostly to follow the dragon and covet the power of supporting the dragon; while the expert is to point the dragon and transform it into a dragon. I am different. I just use this dragon and throw it away after use. Big or small doesn’t matter.”
The scribe pointed to the small town in the valley and said: "It's just the beginning of the storm, and it's far from the time when the secret of heaven emerges, so the dragon energy must be hidden deeply, and it will take some effort to find it. Let's go to that town first. look."
The scribe took one step forward, and suddenly he was several feet away. In a short time, he was down the mountain and on the road leading to the town.
Less than two miles away from the town, there is a large house surrounded by a bluestone courtyard wall, which is about ten feet high. There is also a tall turret built at the corner, with servants carrying sticks standing on it. Scholars and boys pass by the gate of the house. , I saw a man dressed as a housekeeper leading a few servants and giving out rewards to people passing by.
When the housekeeper saw the scribe, his eyes lit up and he saluted: "Where do you come from, sir? How do you call him?"
The scribe replied: "I am Zhang Sheng. Now I am traveling around the world and want to learn something. I happened to pass by your house. Is there any happy event in your house?"
The housekeeper said: "My master's surname is Wei. Who in the whole county doesn't know that Wei is a good man of wealth and wealth? Today, the fourth lady is giving birth, so the master asked me to give some rewards to people passing by to feel happy. Mr. came just in time. , come here!”
The servant next to him brought over a plate of copper coins. The butler pushed the servant away and said, "Don't you think you are a scholar?"
The steward waved to another servant, who brought up a lacquer plate with pen and ink on it and a money bag. The steward picked up the money bag and presented it to him. The scribe weighed it in his hand and found that the money bag actually contained scattered silver.
Enough for one or two.
"Why is this?" Zhang Sheng did not collect the money bag. He had just seen clearly that the rewards distributed by the housekeeper to others were only a few copper coins.
The housekeeper said: "My master respects scholars the most. You can tell he has great talents, so the thank you gift will be different. Please give the child a name, one male and one female."
The housekeeper was thin, with a deer-headed and rat-like appearance, but he spoke in a refined manner and seemed to have some ink in his belly.
Zhang Sheng looked towards the house, and a clear light flashed in the depths of his pupils. Then he took a pen and paper, wrote the word 'Yuan' on the paper, and said: "This means 'there is a dragon in the abyss'. Young Master
I have a profound blessing and deserve this word."
The housekeeper looked at the dragon-shaped Yuanzi and thought it was good, but he didn't know what was good about it. He looked left and right, but he couldn't see the way. At this time, Zhang Sheng put down his pen and left with the boy.
The housekeeper quickly shouted: "Sir, wait a moment, we still need a female name!"
Zhang Sheng did not look back, but just said: "Master Wei has done good deeds and accumulated virtue, so he must be a young master."
The butler was still waiting to say anything, but the people around him who were begging for rewards couldn't wait any longer, and they all gathered around. The butler looked at Zhang Sheng's back, and for some reason he didn't dare to say anything more, so he asked the servants to deal with the people asking for rewards, and he carefully
Holding this calligraphy in hand, he went into the house.
Entering the courtyard behind the Wei family mansion, a doughy old man with long eyebrows was pacing back and forth, with beads of sweat on his forehead. From the side room, a woman kept screaming in pain, and she was about to give birth.
The housekeeper came over with the word in his hand and said: "Master, a scholar passing by outside the door gave the young master the word 'Yuan', saying it means 'there is a dragon in the deep'. I saw that the word was really good, so I hurried
Brought it over."
"Just a name?"
"He said that since I have done good deeds and accumulated virtue, this time it must be his son."
The master immediately burst into laughter and said repeatedly: "As expected of a scholar, his mouth is sweet!"
He took the calligraphy that was still wet from the butler's hand, looked at it carefully, and praised: "Good calligraphy!"
The butler whispered: "Master, I've taken it down."
Mr. Wei kept silent and dropped the papers. This time it was much more pleasing to the eye.
He stared at the big characters that seemed to be flying in the air, and said to himself: "Yuan, there is a dragon in the abyss, Wei Yuan... Yes, it is called Wei Yuan."
The master suddenly looked at the housekeeper suspiciously and asked, "Can you recognize such complicated words?"
The housekeeper sneered and said, "I read what the gentleman wrote, so I know the details."
At this time, Zhang Sheng and Tongzi walked towards the town slowly. After walking for a while, Tongzi finally couldn't help but said: "Sir, if you give him a word, it is actually equivalent to sending good luck, so they gave him one or two words."
Even silver is so cheap for them!"
Zhang Sheng weighed the money bag in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this mere tael of silver, it can solve thousands of sorrows in the world."
The boy was still a little angry: "You can just use some Taoist magic to make the master happy. Why waste your luck?"
Zhang Sheng said: "I happened to be here, and the child was about to be born. This means that I, Zhang Sheng, are destined. Besides, ordinary luck is of no use to me. It is just that I will develop wisdom earlier and have a stronger body. There is no need to worry about it.
Times have changed, and luck is worthless."
The boy did not dare to say any more, but his little face was still unhappy.
Zhang Sheng's heart suddenly moved, and he raised his left hand. The skin of that hand was like jade, dazzlingly white, and the long and slender fingers were stretched out one by one, blooming like the night sky. It was so soft that it was inconsistent with his face. A cloud of air floated in his palm, rolling.
Floating in one direction.
Zhang Sheng stretched his eyebrows and said, "I found the water eye of Longchi!"
The cloud in his palm pointed not to a small town, but to the back of Wei's house that he had just passed. Looking from a distance at this moment, he saw an ancient tree with several people hugging each other behind Wei's house. The tree's shade was like a canopy, covering half of the Wei family.
Back house.
Zhang Sheng put away the cloud energy in his palm, and appeared under the ancient tree a few steps later. He looked up at the ancient tree, nodded and said: "The water and the wood are in harmony, and this is where it is."
He walked around the ancient tree, then looked at the location of Wei's house, frowned slightly, and said: "There is still something involved with this house. If I take away the dragon energy, this family will have some influence. In this way, you go
Catch a pheasant and wait until I get the dragon energy to add some luck to this family and make the master happy."
The boy responded and ran away. After a while, he came back with a golden pheasant in his arms.
Zhang Sheng had already chosen the formation, picked up a few rocks to build the formation platform, and planted branches at specific locations around it, saying: "With the formation, if you can understand the basic principle, you can change it as you like. This combination of water and light
The formation can gather the surrounding fortune and luck, and originally requires a lot of precious materials, but I laid it on the water eye, and only one thing is needed to occupy many formation positions. Speaking of which, this can be regarded as deceiving the world."
Zhang Sheng took out a jade plate and placed it on the platform. The texture of the jade plate was excellent, with countless lines engraved on it, and there was a faint flow of light. After placing the jade plate, Zhang Sheng said to the boy: "It's up to you and me.
The fate is over. In the past year, I have passed on the basics to you. In the future, based on this foundation, you can find a sect you like to join and practice well."
The boy's eyes turned red immediately, and he knelt down on the ground and shouted: "No, I don't want to go anywhere else, I have to follow you! I only recognize you as my master!"
However, Zhang Sheng was unmoved and said calmly: "You and I are not destined to be masters and disciples, so don't call me master. You don't have enough opportunities, and it's in vain to force it."
The boy didn't dare to say anything, he just knelt down and wiped his tears.
Zhang Sheng said: "I'm about to set up a formation. This is your last lesson. Please pay attention carefully. I'm afraid it won't be easy to see this formation again in the future."
The boy wiped away his tears and quickly took a closer look.
Zhang Sheng raised his index finger to the center of his eyebrows, closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly seven points of light flew out of his body and threw them into the array plate one by one. All the lines on the jade plate lit up and gathered into a vortex. The center of the vortex was bottomless and he didn't know where it was leading.
.
Zhang Sheng then said: "The formation is complete, just wait, this formation will draw out the little dragon."
Before Zhang Sheng could finish his words, a cloud of black air spewed out from Wu Guo's heart, hovering above the formation.
The boy immediately opened his eyes. He didn't expect that this small place was really lucky, but it didn't look like a dragon's energy. There was something faint in the black energy that he couldn't see clearly despite his cultivation.
But Zhang Sheng could see clearly that a strange big bird was flying slowly in the black air. It had three long tail feathers, was colorful, and had a human face on its head.
Seeing this big bird, Zhang Sheng's expression changed slightly, and he thought to himself: "Fortunately, it's just a wisp of breath, not even a split soul."
He waved his hand to let the black air disperse and said, "Wait a moment."
In the blink of an eye, two more shadows spewed out from the heart of the magic circle vortex, hovering around. Zhang Sheng looked intently and saw two giant beasts. Just looking at their ferocious appearance and soaring flames, he knew it was definitely not a good sign.
"Why is he either a disaster star or a traitor?" Zhang Sheng's expression was strange, and he waved away the two shadows.
After a while, the magic circle continued to move, but there was no movement in the center of the vortex. Zhang Sheng raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "It's just a little dragon, no matter how deep it is hidden, I can dig it out for you!"
He raised his hand and pointed, and several more points of light entered the magic circle from his fingertips. The light of the magic circle suddenly became brighter, and the center of the vortex swirled!
In an instant, several balls of luck spurted out from the magic circle one after another, making the surrounding area darken.
Zhang Sheng looked around one by one and saw the boundless pool of blood, the crumbling mountain peaks, the blood-stained royal flag, the broken divine weapons, and the giant cauldron on the corpse mountain. At this time, he didn't know what to say. But there were still groups
The luck is very strange. It is a slender iron pipe wrapped in wood, with a long sharp blade attached to the front, which is inserted diagonally into the scorched earth. There are broken walls and ruins in the distance.
Even though Zhang Sheng had always been calm, his face looked ugly at this moment. What kind of stormy meeting was there? It was clearly a gathering of murderous intent from heaven and earth!
Before he could figure out whether he should continue to extract dragon energy, a cold, vast, and primitive feeling suddenly came from the heart of the vortex. A huge thing appeared on the other side of the vortex heart, trying to pass through. But the magic circle vortex heart was too big.
Small, it just barely let out a breath. When this breath emerged, the scenery around the circle began to distort!
Zhang Sheng made a prompt decision and waved his hand to drain away the power of the magic circle. With a bang, the jade plate exploded into pieces, and the passage through which the giant thing came was also interrupted.
The huge mass of luck was extremely angry and roared, but it still had to disappear along with the vortex center of the magic circle.
The formation plate exploded, the condensed luck also dissipated, and everything around him returned to normal. Only then did Zhang Sheng realize that he was covered in cold sweat without knowing it. He didn't know what the huge luck was, he only knew that it was absolutely impossible.
Don't let it come over. Once it appears in this world, it may not be as simple as landslides and land collapse.
When he was about to leave, Zhang Sheng looked at Wei Zhai. In his eyes, there was a gray and black atmosphere above Wei Zhai, which was not seen before. He sighed secretly, after all, the magic circle had affected this family.
Feng shui luck cannot be let go.
Zhang Sheng pondered for a moment, and a small firebird appeared in the palm of his hand. This was a ray of phoenix energy obtained from elsewhere. It was quite precious and was more than enough to replenish the luck of the Wei family. He asked the boy to throw the golden pheasant to
Wei Zhai, raised his hand and pointed, and the little fire bird sank into the body of the golden pheasant. This is a method of borrowing objects to cast spells and secretly changing the destiny. It is a common method of changing fate and luck.
After receiving this technique, the golden pheasant will turn into a phoenix in an instant, making up for the damaged luck of the Wei family, and there will be a surplus. The good people of Wei will not only die rich and prosperous, but also have some residual shadow to leave to future generations.
The golden pheasant was freed and immediately flew high. At this moment, a black halo suddenly appeared on its body, and it instantly transformed into a big bird with black feathers and three heads!
Zhang Sheng was also stunned for a moment. Even he couldn't figure out the origin of these three giant birds, but they definitely had nothing to do with Tianfeng.
At this moment, a loud baby cry came from the house, and the baby was born.
The three giant birds came to life at this moment, two heads looked down, and the other head turned around, and the three dark golden eyes stared at Zhang Sheng!
In an instant, Zhang Sheng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, as if he was facing an abyss, as if he was about to pass away!
The three eyes of the giant bird actually gave him three different impacts!
Zhang Sheng's mind went blank for an instant. All the magical techniques and subtle teachings seemed to have been wiped away. He couldn't remember even a single word.
A corner of his face suddenly collapsed, and another face appeared faintly. Although only one eye was exposed, the curved eyebrows were like moon tips and swords, and the eyes were as bright as stars and as deep as paint, slightly painful.
Once you see it, you will never forget it.
The three giant birds glanced at Zhang Sheng, then lowered their heads and looked down again, then flew around the house, fluttered their wings high, and disappeared outside the nine-sky clouds in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Sheng was silent for a moment and then said: "There are too many rebels here, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time."
After that, he took the boy and left. The ancient tree behind him was still as tall as a canopy.
Chapter completed!
