Chapter 64: The laws of the ancestors are especially changeable(1/2)
"Ao Lie? Why did you come to my place?"
King Tenglong raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
At the Immortal Ascension Banquet a year ago, the old Dragon King asked him to practice in the Dragon Palace for more than ten years before allowing him to go out to practice. He didn't expect him to come out so soon.
"Uncle Teng, I escaped secretly." Xiao Bailong whispered.
"Oh, you...what do you want Uncle Teng to say to you?"
King Teng Long was helpless. He didn't expect Ao Lie to be so ignorant and quietly ran out of the Dragon Palace alone.
The entire West Sea is vast, and some places are occupied by big monsters. The old Dragon King doesn't have the final say alone. What if Ao Lie runs into someone else's territory and is sliced up and eaten by monsters on the spot?
Although the big demons nearby generally don't dare to attack the people of Dragon Palace, there will always be one or two blind people who don't recognize you, Ao Lie, as the third prince of Dragon Palace, and that would be dangerous.
For monsters, dragon meat is an excellent tonic.
"Uncle Teng, let's go inside."
Ao Lie said while hiding towards Tenglong Cave, because he felt that there were already several powerful immortal consciousnesses outside looking for him, so he hid in Tenglong Cave for a while first.
If other dragon kings saw him, they might have someone capture him.
But Uncle Teng is kind to Long and dotes on him very much. Even if the masters of the Dragon Palace find him, Uncle Teng will not hand him over.
"well!"
Seeing the little white dragon rushing into the cave, King Tenglong sighed and had no choice but to activate the formation and ask the dragon guards outside to put up a 'retreat' banner.
Generally speaking, when the masters of the Dragon Palace see that King Teng Long is in seclusion, they will not come to investigate. It is naturally safe for Xiao Bailong to escape here.
Asking the maid to bring him spiritual tea and spiritual fruit, King Teng Long said with a subtle expression: "Nephew Lie, if you don't want to wait in the Dragon Palace, why do you come to my remote mountain top?"
Compared with Xihai Dragon Palace, Jinli Island is really a poor place.
"Uncle Teng doesn't know. My father has gone too far. He didn't keep his promise. He clearly said that when I break through to the True Immortality, he would allow me to leave the Dragon Palace and allow me to travel around.
But I have worked hard for more than a hundred years to cultivate the body of a true immortal just for today, but my father does not allow me to leave and wants me to continue practicing in the Dragon Palace for more than ten years..."
Regarding the family affairs of Xihai Dragon Palace, King Tenglong didn't want to say anything more, but just said: "Your father is also doing it for your own good."
"For my own good?"
Xiao Bailong's blood immediately surged up, "If he really does it for my own good, he should care about what I want. My father did give me rich clothes and food, and invited the best dragon master to teach me my magical powers. Who will I marry in the future?"
My entire family has been prepared for me.
But these are not what I want.
I, Ao Lie, have a higher pursuit, not only to inherit the bloodline of Dragon Palace, but also to lead the Dragon Clan to the road of rejuvenation. The world is vast, and any dragon can be free. Our Dragon Clan cannot be confined to these four small ponds forever... You say no
What, Uncle Teng?"
King Tenglong smiled bitterly.
Today's young people are really overly enthusiastic.
The revival of the Dragon Clan, is this possible?
Heaven and earth set limits, and the laws of heaven do not allow it. How can the Dragon Clan return to its former prosperity?
"Okay, Uncle Teng can't help you. You stay with me for a while and then go back after you think about it." King Tenglong took a deep breath and said.
Although the little white dragon has good talent, he has survived eight thunder tribulations to become an immortal, and is expected to become an immortal golden body. The future is promising.
But if the Dragon Clan wants to be strong, just one Golden Immortal is far from enough.
Not even Daluo Jinxian.
The most powerful five-clawed golden dragon in their lineage has long been cut off from the Dragon Palace. If the ancestral dragon cannot come out, there is no possibility for the dragon clan to stand up.
Of course, King Teng Long didn’t want to talk to Xiao Bailong about these unbearable past events of the Dragon Clan.
Young people should be so energetic and worry about this and that, that would be too boring.
"I won't go back." Ao Lie shook his head and then said, "Uncle Teng, I heard that you have some friendship with the King of Black Mountain. Which island and which mountain top does he live on?"
"King of Montenegro...?"
King Teng Long was stunned for a moment, but he soon thought of the nickname of the great demon, "You mean Taoist Brother Brown Bear."
Ao Lie's eyes lit up: "Yes, that's him."
"What's wrong with him?" King Tenglong asked a little puzzled, "Are you going to trouble him because of the Immortal Ascension Banquet?"
"No, no, no, Uncle Teng, you misunderstood."
Xiao Bailong shook his head and said, "The last time I fought against the King of Black Mountain at the Ascension Banquet, he fought back and forth with his nephew using the Hedao realm, and his senior brother the Monkey King even knocked out Bai Lian with one punch, and the two demons
The Taoist and magical powers are not easy to imagine, and my nephew wants to become a disciple and practice great magical powers!"
King Tenglong's expression was extremely shocked.
If other dragon kings were present, they would probably scold Ao Lie for his treason and lack of shame.
The vast majority of dragon clans are still immersed in their past glory and are ashamed to practice other magical methods, including the saints of the three religions.
The real Huanglong disciples who studied under him were regarded by the Sihai Dragon Palace as dragon traitors and unfilial heirs, and were expelled from the dragon family.
Nowadays, the pride of Dragon Palace is gone, but the old-fashioned spirit of Hengqiu has not dissipated.
If you want to worship someone else as your teacher, you will be regarded as an unfilial heir and will be looked down upon and despised by the entire clan.
If you are not a saint, then you are even more treasonous. Other dragon kings may even have the intention of killing you.
Among them, there is an even worse one.
It is to become someone else's mount.
Dragons will never be slaves.
The Dragon Clan will never allow their direct descendants to become the mounts of others, not even the Great Luo Immortals.
Fortunately, although the dragon clan is in a state of decline nowadays, no dragon clan dares to go beyond this rule.
So when he heard that Ao Lie wanted to study with his master, King Tenglong was very surprised and he was a little hesitant.
He knew that Fellow Daoist Brown Bear had a great background behind him, and that the master was definitely a great mage who had gone through many tribulations, but the methods of his ancestors were immutable, and it was still inappropriate for Ao Lie to go and become a disciple.
"What's wrong, Uncle Teng?"
Seeing that King Teng Long looked unhappy, Ao Lie asked.
He didn't think too much about it. After all, the reason why he studied under a master was to revive the Dragon Clan and bring it back to its peak.
But in the eyes of the Dragon Clan, these words were definitely deviant and were deceived by lard.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! King Teng Long looked at Ao Lie deeply and was silent for a long time.
He thought of Huanglong Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Cult. He had clearly inherited the bloodline of the ancestral dragon and was a golden dragon that stood tall against heaven and earth. It was just not a five-clawed golden dragon, but it was still nobler than most of the dragon bloodlines.
But later, Master Huanglong believed that the Taoism of the Dragon Clan was in decline, so he worshiped the Chanjiao and became one of the famous Twelve Golden Immortals in the Chanjiao.
At that time, before the great saint came out, the Dragon Clan was ashamed of it, cut off all contact with the real Huanglong, and expelled him from his ancestral home.
After the Three Qing Dynasties became a saint, the status of Zhenren Huanglong soared. The Dragon Clan couldn't help but call Zhenren Huanglong, who was born from the five-clawed golden dragon, the name of a "bastard".
It is precisely because the Dragon Clan has always put on airs, not learning from teachers, and working behind closed doors that they are not good at Taoism, so they gradually declined.
On the other hand, the Phoenix clan next door had the Xuantian fire phoenix fly hundreds of millions of miles to the place where Nuwa was sanctified, and begged Nuwa to take her in.
Xuantian Fire Phoenix is one of the nine chicks raised by the phoenix, and is the head of the nine chicks. Her status is equivalent to the biological son of the ancestral dragon in the Dragon Clan. She is the goddess of the Phoenix Clan, and has a special body that can fly like a flying dragon.
In order to save the Phoenix clan and save the boundless karma they caused back then, I was willing to serve as the empress's mount.
The empress therefore took her in and named her Jin Ning.
The status of the mount seems to be very low, but in fact it is not. Compared with the disciples, the mount is private property. As long as she does not betray her, Nuwa will protect her for the rest of her life.
The Dragon Clan feels ashamed to be a human mount, but if one day the Phoenix Clan encounters a crisis, then the significance of Jinning will be extraordinary.
The sage regards all people in the world as stupid dogs.
But he will still show extra mercy to his own belongings and take special care of them.
In ancient times, there are even better stories about the Buddha cutting meat and feeding it to the eagles, and the Supreme Being bestowing merit and treasures on Qingsi.
Almost all the saints treat the pets and mounts they keep as their own, and they will never be stingy in giving them rewards.
On the contrary, the Dragon Clan was ashamed of this and refused to bow its head.
In fact, the bloodline of their Sihai Dragon Clan is vastly different from that of a pure-blood Phoenix like Jin Ning. They are just a collateral line of Jinlong, and their bloodline is even more mixed than that of Yinglong and Qinglong.
Even the little white dragon is considered a hybrid dragon compared to Jin Ning.
However, adhering to the immutability of the ancestral law, the Xihai Dragon Palace refused to violate the ancestral precepts and refused to be a totem, a disciple, or a mount for the sake of its remaining face.
Even since the decline of the Dragon Clan, they have always followed the rules and refused to go beyond the limits.
In King Tenglong's view, giving up the hope of the Dragon Clan's great prosperity just for the sake of face would be like losing watermelon and picking sesame seeds, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Moreover.
Nowadays, no one can see that the dragon clan is weak. Even a great demon king like the Jiao Demon King can bully the West Sea Dragon Palace.
