Chapter 734 Guardian

Before speaking, she cleared her throat, appearing calm and even childlike.

But both Shang Xingzhou and Chen Changsheng could hear her voice trembling slightly.

It was not because he was excited to meet Chen Changsheng in a free body, but because he was uneasy.

She felt that she was too close to the middle-aged Taoist priest and was in danger.

At this time, she didn't know that this person was Chen Changsheng's master, but she clearly felt that the other person had the ability to hurt or even kill her.

There are very few strong human beings in the world who have the ability to hurt or even kill her. However, she had just escaped from the prison of hundreds of years tonight when she met one person.

This made her feel a little frustrated facing her fate, so much so that she did not dare to look at Shang Xingzhou. She just stared at Chen Changsheng's eyes, looking extremely serious and focused.

She didn't know that in Shang Xingzhou's eyes, she was also a very dangerous existence.

Human beings have very clear records in Dao Zang. One cannot be too vigilant against dragons, the highest-level creatures under the starry sky.

What's more, she is the most noble and powerful Xuanshuang dragon in the dragon clan. Her petite body is filled with energy that countless strong humans dream of but can never possess. If she learns to use those powers, or those powers Even if it breaks out passively, it will inevitably cause extremely terrifying momentum and tragic consequences.

She was afraid of Shang Xingzhou, and Shang Xingzhou was wary of her. Chen Changsheng was just surprised.

He didn't expect that she would actually escape from the bottom of the well!

Even if the method he and Xu Yourong used was correct, his blood, driven by the sublimation of Xiliudian, was constantly accelerating the speed at which the iron chain was eroded by time. According to his calculations, there would still be at least two years before the iron chain could be eroded by time. The iron chain will be broken, and after she left the underground, why didn't she quickly leave the continent full of human atmosphere that she disliked the most and return to the warm archipelago in the south instead of coming to the National Education Academy?

There were many variables in this negotiation, and it was vaguely beneficial to him, but Chen Changsheng was not happy. He did not want anyone or anything other than himself to be involved in this negotiation, whether it was Li Gong priests, teachers and students of the National Education Academy, Li Shan and Huaiyuan, and the senior brothers who were worried in the Night Palace at this time, and what she said What do the words mean?

protector? Chen Changsheng remembered the relevant records in the seventh volume of the Dao Canon, Morning Light, and then recalled some past events that the Pope seemed to have mentioned inadvertently that night.

Regardless of the state religion or the former Taoist sect, if you want to maintain the Taoist tradition that will remain unchanged for eternity, you must attach great importance to inheritance. Contemporary popes often start planning many years in advance to educate and train successors. Those young disciples are extremely talented and have amazing potential. However, it will take a long time to grow into a truly strong man who can lead the Taoist sect forward. It has to go through many tests, and the number of orthodox successors of the Taoist sect has always been very small. For example, in the previous generation, there were only Pope and Shang Xingzhou, and in this generation, there are only Chen Changsheng and Shang Xingzhou.

With such a long and difficult Taoist journey and such a small number of successors, logically speaking, the Taoist inheritance may be cut off at any time. However, for countless years, the Taoist sect has been passed down to countless generations, and there has never been such a situation. In addition to the fact that those descendants are as great as the brothers Yin and Shang, there is another very important reason, that is, when these young descendants are in the world, When traveling and practicing, a Taoist sect will often ask an extremely powerful or prestigious senior to be the guardian of that successor.

The Taoism is immortal, and this kind of rules has been maintained for many generations, even longer than the Zhou Dynasty. If Chen Changsheng lived as an orthodox successor of the state religion when he was in the old temple in Xining Town, then he should indeed have a guardian, and that guardian must be one of the most powerful people in the mainland, and most likely even the Eight Directions Wind and Rain One of them, but no one in the entire continent knew his identity at that time. Now that he has become the Pope, does he still need a guardian? And why her?

"It turns out that the person Yin was talking about was you."

Shang Xingzhou's expression was calm and showed no surprise. He obviously knew about this matter in advance.

He looked at the little black dragon and said: "After hundreds of years, you can finally leave the old well in Beixinqiao and be free. Why don't you return to Nanhai?"

"Because this is my promise." Little Black Dragon stood in front of Chen Changsheng, looked at him and said seriously.

It was obvious that Shang Xingzhou had put great pressure on her. Her little face was full of nervousness, but she was still determined.

Shang Xingzhou suddenly asked: "Will you protect him?"

She raised her face and said proudly: "Of course."

Shang Xingzhou continued to ask: "Are you willing to become one with him in front of the starry sky, love him, respect him, comfort him, just like you love yourself, no matter he is sick or healthy, rich or poor, successful or failed, Do you always put his name before your own name until you leave this world and return to the sea of ​​​​stars?"

This passage is like a breeze, coming slowly, and like thunder, rumbling incessantly.

This is one of the oldest texts in the canon, this is the oath of the guardian, and this is the rule for leaving the palace.

She was silent for a while and said, "I do."

Shang Xingzhou asked: "Even if you have to pay your life for it?"

Without any hesitation, she said, "Yes."

A few years ago at the bottom of Beixin Bridge, she had already given Chen Changsheng something more important than her life, at least in her own opinion.

Of course, this does not mean that she is really willing to die for Chen Changsheng without asking any conditions, nor does it mean that she is not afraid of death. As dragons with long lives, death is something they rarely think about, but precisely because life is so long, when they think about it occasionally, they will have a fear far beyond that of ordinary humans.

She stared into Shang Xingzhou's eyes and said, "Wang Zhice didn't dare to kill me back then. He only dared to imprison me. I don't believe you dare to kill me."

In the common understanding of the monastic world, dragons are often immortal. The main reason for this impression that goes against the facts is that dragons are the highest-level beings in the hierarchical sequence under the starry sky and have an extremely long life. Years and unimaginable strength, and countless thousands of years ago, when the Dragon Clan withdrew from the mainland, they formed a pact with all other worlds - any life that actively offends the Dragon Clan must die.

The main reason why this pact has been passed down to this day is of course not how much the demons and humans attach great importance to their promises. It still stems from the power of the dragons. Regardless of whether the top of the demon or human race, even if they face a lonely or even weak dragon, they will rarely try to do anything, because there is a divine soul bead in the dragon's body. Once the dragon is killed, If you die, the Soul Pearl will be destroyed, and its tribesmen in the far south will take extremely crazy revenge after sensing it.

Even the Great Zhou Dynasty ruled by His Majesty Emperor Taizong was not willing to bear such a price. Back then, when the little black dragon was wreaking havoc everywhere, Wang Zhice used a trick to capture her and never killed her. Apart from her forgivability, the more important reason was because she was difficult to kill and difficult to kill. These two are of course different. mean.

For countless years, the Dragon Clan has always been an object of awe far away from the mainland.

But at certain historical moments, surprises occasionally occur.
