389 Dragon Island 2
Actually, what kind of feelings do I have for the Dragon Clan now? I really don’t know this. On earth, Chinese people say that they are the descendants of the dragon, which is something to be proud of, but the descendants of the dragon are obviously different from this. Although I have known this for a long time, after I really came to Dragon Island, my heart was actually empty. After all, I have been a "person" for so many years and cannot change my identity so quickly. In the end, I attribute my feelings for the Dragon Clan to responsibility, because of my identity, my mission, and their expectations for me, these things are ultimately transformed into my responsibility.
Even so, when I saw this extremely thin old man kneeling at me on the ground, I still couldn't calm down. At that moment, my eyes were even a little wet, and I almost landed on the ground. On the way back, Ao Jiang had already told me this problem. The great elder Ao Guang himself was seriously injured in the war that year. In order to create the barrier outside the Dragon Island, he even exhausted his cultivation. Now Ao Guang is actually just an old man in the twilightest twilightest.
He is a person who truly gives his life to his own race, and such a person is undoubtedly worthy of respect.
I wanted to help him, but when I touched his skinny arm, I couldn't help but kneel down at him. He looked up at me and wanted to pull me up. While pulling, he said, "Young Master, this is not something to do, it's not something to do."
"There is nothing to be used. When the Dragon Clan is in the most dangerous time, my father sent me away. It was you who shouldered the important task of protecting the entire race. I owe you. Now that I am back, I hope that it is not too late. Great Elder, I swear to you that although I am still very weak now, as long as I am here, whoever wants to hurt the Dragon Clan will definitely kill me first." I said, I am actually not good at saying such sensational words, but my current identity, in order to reassure the Great Elder, and to comfort these tribe members who have been looking forward to my return for hundreds of years, I must say such words.
"It's not too late, it's not too late." The elder wanted to help me up.
Finally, we supported each other and stood up. At this moment, the eyes of the dragon clan were red, and the sad atmosphere might have infected the little girl Youruo, and she even wiped her tears. I smiled at her and said, "Little girl, why are you crying?"
"Why can't I cry? Actually, I know that the Dragon Clan has been having a bad life over the years, because the same is true for Aoki City. The people in Sifang City want to kill us all, but after all, Dad is a human race, and they have never taken serious action. However, they have never given up attacking Dragon Island." Youruo said.
"Okay, you are the girl from General Duanmu's family. Time flies so fast. When I met last time, you were not born yet. Come and let grandpa see it." Ao Guang said.
Listening to his words, he didn't look like the great elder of the dragon clan, but a kind elder.
The little girl was also willing to get close to Ao Guang, so she ran to Ao Guang. Ao Guang took out a knife from his waist. The knife was inlaid with gems, which looked quite precious. Ao Guang said: "This was something grandpa accidentally got when he was traveling in Sifang City in his early years. The first time he saw you, the little girl, was treated as a meeting gift."
This jewel-like thing is naturally aroused by the little girl's favorite. The little girl immediately took it, and Duanmu Lingxiu frowned and said, "Youruo!"
Ao Guang waved his hand and said, "It's not a precious thing. If your child likes it, just use it to play. General Duanmu, your temper is still the same as before."
Ao Guang said so, Duanmu Lingxiu didn't say anything. Youruo stuck out his tongue at Duanmu Lingxiu like a demonstration, and his playful appearance made us laugh even more.
At this time, Ao Jiang came over and said, "Great Elder, have you been in seclusion in the depths of Dragon Island? Why did you come out?"
Ao Guang said: "The young master is back, and I smelled the breath from afar, exactly the same as the one of the Heavenly Lord. This is a great joyful event for my dragon clan. Can you not come out?"
After saying that, Ao Guang waved his hand and said, "Let's go, the young master is back, go to the main hall."
The main hall of the Dragon Clan is not as majestic and imposing as I imagined. Apart from the huge blue dragon sculpture outside the main hall, the building afterwards is very simple. It is a palace built with huge bluestone slabs. After entering, the things inside are even simpler. There are six stone benches, and there is a slightly larger one in front of the stone bench. Ao Guang pointed to the stool and said, "This is where the Heavenly Lord discussed things for us back then."
Apart from that, there was nothing else, and the other rooms were empty.
"Is that simple?" I asked, I couldn't believe that this was the place where the most powerful people in the world lived before.
"After the war, the palace was destroyed, but even before, there was nothing else. The Heavenly Lord was obsessed with practicing and almost only asked about the world's affairs." He said.
After visiting the main hall, there was a small tomb behind the main hall, with several white flowers placed in front of the tomb. After arriving here, Ao Guang said softly: "Young Master, this is your mother's tomb."
I frowned and heard from Miss Bai once that she had worked hard to cultivate to the divine level in order to pursue the Heavenly Lord, but the Heavenly Lord finally chose a woman without any cultivation.
"Your mother is an ordinary woman in Fuyao City, and her life span is only a few hundred years. After she passed away, the Heavenly Lord buried her here." Ao Guangdao.
I nodded, walked to the grave, kowtowed a few times silently, and said to the grave: "Mother, I'm back, although I have never seen you."
——After all this, Ao Guang seemed to have something to say to me, so he asked Ao Jiang and Ao Hai to take his tribe members to the Dragon Island to pick wild fruits and other foods. After they left, Duanmu Lingxiu frowned and asked Ao Guang: "Great Elder, when I left, there were more than 30 people in the Dragon Clan. So many years have passed. Although the dragon Clan reproduces slowly, it is not so many people, right? Is there something wrong with the dragon Clan?"
Ao Guang sighed and said, "It's not that there are no descendants, but that the dragon eggs that have reproduced in the dragon clan have been used by Ao Jiang and Ao Hai to grow and cultivate."
"What?!" Duanmu Lingxiu and I said almost at the same time.
Ao Guang waved his hand and said, "Young Master, I can't blame this, but this is not Ao Jiang and Ao Hai's problem, it was the dragon clan who decided to do it themselves."
"What's the situation?" I asked.
"Youruo Xiaomei said it right. Over the years, Murong Jiuding has come to attack Dragon Island many times. Every time, it is possible to protect it through the barrier I set up with my lifelong cultivation. You can also see my current situation. Time is gone. After I die, the entire Dragon Island will lose the last barrier. At that time, we don't know when you will be able to come back. Therefore, the Dragon Clan needs a strong man to enter the divine level. Only in this way can the entire Dragon Clan be preserved. The dragon egg contains an unparalleled life element, which is even more beneficial to cultivation than the dragon cultivator. Therefore, the dragon clan decided not to let the dragon egg hatch, but to give all the dragon eggs to Aojiang Aohai, so that they can absorb the life force inside to break the last barrier to the divine level." Ao Guangdao.
"But even if the situation is critical, it can't be like this!" I said.
Ao Guang knelt down and said, "Young Master, it's all my fault. When they came to me to discuss this matter, I knew that this was inappropriate, but I had to agree. How could the eggs be left after the nest was destroyed? If the dragon clan is gone, even if the young sons hatched, they would inevitably be slaughtered by the human race!"
"No wonder Ao Jiang and Ao Hai are so strange. They have never refused to come to Long Island. They know my temper and know that if I know their actions, I will definitely be with them." Duanmu Lingxiu said.
This is true. With Duanmu's beautiful temper, even if the whole clan dies, he will never tolerate anyone doing such a thing. Just like me, although I understand it now, I still can't accept it.
Even if the clan is exterminated, the elders cannot absorb the power of life from future generations.
