Volume 2: The Great Tribulation of the Lich Chapter 168: Understanding the “Truth”
There was silence in the hall.
Seeing Mingyu remained silent, Qinglong glanced at Ao Guang. Ao Guang understood and broke the deadlock : "Aren't you curious about how your uncle knew that it was you who caused the Ten Thousand Daos to tremble?"
"What's there to be curious about?" Mingyu spread his hands and replied, "Senior Meng Zhang is the supreme being guarding the Far East. He was conferred by the Heavenly Dao. It's fine if others don't know the reason.
If you can't sense the descent of the Heavenly Dao, or our coming, that's a little hard to explain."
The Queen said at the time that such a big move could not be concealed from the Supreme Being who was in charge of the Far East.
Qinglong nodded, agreeing with his statement, and then asked a question that Mingyu didn't expect: "The power of Lichun is in your hands?"
"Indeed!" Mingyu gave an affirmative answer.
"Do you understand what it means?"
Just now it was a test of strength, is this a test of the avenue?
Mingyu pondered for a moment and replied, "The beginning of a year is the beginning of all things and the beginning of rebirth!"
“Are there any derivatives?”
"Get rid of the old and bring in the new, and receive blessings and grace." Mingyu said these eight words without hesitation this time.
"Great! " Qinglong seemed very satisfied with Mingyu's answer. He spread out his palm, and a Taoist pattern moved the heaven and earth. The courtyard was filled with strange images, and thousands of auspicious colors shone brightly.
"What is this word?"
Ao Guang raised his head and looked at the Taoist pattern in Qinglong's hand. It was actually the word "木", but it was written in the dragon clan's unique characters.
Mingyu stared at Qinglong's palm and ignored the strange phenomena.
He blinked and answered seriously: "The word is 'life'!"
Ao Guang rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Brother Mingyu, if we don't know how to read, we should just say so. This is the unique writing system of our dragon clan - Dragon Seal. It's normal that you don't know how to read it. I won't laugh at you..."
"Very good!" Qinglong interrupted Ao Guang's speech and approved of Mingyu's answer.
Ao Guang was stunned. He wiped his eyes and looked at Qinglong's palm twice. It was indeed the character "木"!
"Uncle, have you also been harmed by the karma of your clan? Why are you talking nonsense? It is clearly the character '木'!" Ao Guang argued in dragon language.
He was not convinced. As the current patriarch of the dragon clan, how could he recognize the wrong dragon seal?
Qinglong's face turned dark, and he took out his magic sword and was about to cut it out.
"That word is 'life'!" Mingyu looked at Ao Guang with a smile.
"Impossible, that's... wait, what did you just say?" Ao Guang looked at Mingyu as if he were a monster.
Mingyu spoke each word carefully, "That word is 'life'!"
"That's not it. I mean, how can you speak dragon language?"
Ao Guang heard it clearly. Mingyu pronounced the last word "生" in dragon language!
But he remembered that Mingyu's follower was Qingluan.
"Senior Meng Zhang taught me this!"
Mingyu acted as if it was a matter of course to recite the dragon language. He could draw inferences from it and understand "life" by seeing "wood". What's so difficult about it?
Did your uncle teach you?
Could it be that...
Ao Guang looked back and forth between Qinglong and Mingyu with an inexplicable look, and a smile gradually spread from the corners of his mouth.
Ao Guang felt that he had found the truth. Why did Lord Qinglong have to pay attention to Mingyu's truth?
"So that's it, so that's what I thought!" Ao Guang smiled foolishly.
This made Mingyu confused. How come Long was fine just now and became so weird after blinking?
"No, even if you are my uncle, that word is '木'!" Ao Guang returned to normal in an instant. He took out the "Dragon Dictionary" from his sleeve, turned a page and pointed at the word '木' and said.
"Uncle?" Mingyu was slightly stunned. Is the dragon clan so unserious? They recognize relatives just because they don't agree with each other.
Qinglong was stunned at first, but then he realized that this dragon cub was thinking wrongly!
His eyes became deeper, flashing a cold light, and his tone became gentler: "Guang'er, come closer."
"Oh!" Ao Guang walked obediently closer to Qinglong.
"Clang!" The long sword was unsheathed, faster than time, and hit Ao Guang's buttocks accurately.
"Ah~~"
"Ah~~"
The shrill roars of dragons resounded through the sky. Ao Guang lay on the ground, feeling so painful and ashamed that he wanted to die.
"I taught you to think twice before doing anything, and that's how you do it!" Qinglong was holding the magic sword, his long robe fluttering in the wind, and he was almost angered to death by Ao Guang.
Seeing that Ao Guang was still howling, he angrily slapped his sword twice more.
"Uncle, please stop hitting me. Please stop hitting me. Isn't it okay that I was wrong?" Ao Guang quickly begged for mercy.
He was very experienced in taking beatings. He could hold out and endure the beatings without losing any flesh, and could not beg for mercy.
As expected, as soon as Ao Guang begged for mercy, Qinglong stopped beating him. He just kicked him and shouted angrily, "Get up!"
Even though Ao Guang was grimacing in pain, he still struggled to get up, limped over to Mingyu, and said to her with some regret: "Really?"
"You little dragon, you think too much!" Mingyu lowered his voice and said bluntly.
Ao Guang was stunned. He stared at Mingyu carefully and said in surprise: "You are a mixed-haired bird!"
Mingyu looked at him dimly, "Fellow Daoist, please remember this!"
Ao Guang said angrily: "You recognized me a long time ago?"
"I didn't recognize him at first, but I recognized him as soon as you howled!" Mingyu sighed. He didn't expect that the dragon cub he met at the foot of Mount Buzhou that year was Ao Guang!
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, young friend!" Qinglong walked down the stairs and said to Mingyu.
Mingyu quickly replied, "How dare I, Senior, you didn't treat me as an outsider. I am very grateful."
Qinglong couldn't help laughing, "You are so slippery!"
Mingyu just smiled and said nothing.
Qinglong waved his hand, and a road led to the distance with no end.
He strode forward, and Ao Guang and Mingyu quickly followed.
"What do you think of the Immortal Court and Emperor Donghua?" Qinglong asked the two with his back to them.
Ao Guang answered first: "Although the Immortal Court is prosperous, it only relies on the power of the Taoist Ancestor to gather so many people. In my opinion, Emperor Donghua is just a clown and is not worth worrying about!"
Qinglong did not comment on Ao Guang's remarks.
Mingyu said: "The stronger the Immortal Court is, the better. The stronger Emperor Donghua is, the better!"
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"The stronger the Immortal Court is, the stronger the Heavenly Court will be in the future; the stronger Emperor Donghua is, the more chances His Majesty will have to chop him down a few more times!" Mingyu smiled brilliantly.
Qinglong stopped and looked back, raised his finger and pointed at Mingyu, and said to Ao Guang: "When you are as brave as him, the dragon clan will prosper again!"
"Uncle is right!" Ao Guang answered with a helpless look. Why are they bringing this up with me again?
After Qinglong finished speaking, he turned to Mingyu and said, "You are quite courageous, but don't underestimate Emperor Donghua."
"Please give me some advice, senior!" Mingyu asked politely.
"When I learned that Donghua and his men were hiding on the three fairy islands, I patrolled the East China Sea with my sword for three thousand years, but I couldn't find any trace of him."
Qinglong told a secret.
"Fifty thousand years ago, fifty percent of the authority of the Great Way of Wood belonged to me, and thirty percent belonged to Donghua. After the second lecture at Zixiao Palace, I only had thirty percent left, and Donghua had fifty percent!"
"What?"
