Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

"Xiangrui?"

Hearing this, Gu Xu frowned slightly.

Since he ascended the throne, it was not uncommon for officials from all over the country to report auspicious signs to him, such as intertwined trees, growing crops together, or a stone engraved with "May the Empire Prosper Forever" being fished out of the Luo River.

Those officials claimed that this was because "Your Majesty has the most benevolent virtues, his kindness is widespread, and he is enlightened by the darkness." They moved God and sent down these auspicious symbols as a sign of peace for the country for thousands of years.

Naturally, Gu Xu didn't believe a word of these words.

He could easily see that many of these so-called auspicious signs were artificially fabricated.

For this reason, he specifically warned his officials to be diligent and pragmatic and not to think about doing such flattery and opportunistic things all day long.

"Your Majesty, Hailing County Magistrate Ying Liangzhi has urgently reported through the formation, saying that a silver-white dragon appeared in the sky over the East China Sea. It hovered in the sky for a while and then dived into the East China Sea," Han Shun said respectfully. Report, "It is recorded in ancient books that the appearance of a true dragon is a good omen for the arrival of a sage monarch. Tonight, on New Year's Eve, the true dragon appears, which indicates that the Kingdom of Great Xia will be under the leadership of His Majesty—"

Gu Xu made a gesture and interrupted him.

Hearing that a dragon appeared, the first thought that flashed through Gu Xu's mind was: Could it be that there was something happening in the Lingxiao Realm?

He immediately sank his consciousness into the astrolabe, and in an instant, his sight penetrated the distance of thousands of miles and reached the East China Sea.

At this moment, the surface of the East China Sea has returned to calm and calm.

However, when Gu Xu's consciousness quietly dived under the sea surface, he really saw a silver-white dragon lying quietly on the deep seabed, as if sleeping. The dragon's body is shining with a delicate luster like moonlight, and every scale is shining.

But what is shocking is that the sea water around the dragon's body has been dyed bright red.

Gu Xu observed carefully and found that Yinlong had obviously suffered severe injuries and was in a coma. The large dragon scales on its back seemed to have been cruelly peeled off by some powerful force, and the dragon's blood flowed out like a spring, which was shocking.

"Go and notify Luo Chuan quickly," Gu Xu told Han Shunxi with a serious face, "A dragon was found in the East China Sea, and it is most likely that it came from the Lingxiao Realm. I plan to go there with him to investigate the situation."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Shunxi immediately saluted and left in a hurry.

The emperor's suddenly solemn expression made Han Shunxi realize that the appearance of this dragon might not be a good omen in the traditional sense, but might indicate a more urgent situation, or even the invasion of a foreign enemy.

…………

A moment later, Gu Xu and Luo Chuan tore apart the space and reached the depths of the East China Sea in an instant.

Wrapped in the true essence, they walked in the sea as if they were walking on flat ground without getting a drop of water on their bodies.

The silver dragon lay quietly in front of them, motionless.

Its huge body is dozens of feet long, entrenched in the deep seabed, like a winding mountain range.

Following the line of cause and effect on its body, Gu Xu quickly sensed that this dragon indeed came from the Lingxiao world.

"Emperor, you should know that in the past, there was only one pure silver dragon in the entire Lingxiao world," Luo Chuan said slowly from the side, "That was the Ye Emperor's sister, Jiang Zhaoyue."

Gu Xu nodded.

The name "Jiang Zhaoyue" did indeed appear in Emperor Ziwei's memory.

Thousands of years ago, Jiang Zhaoyue was still an immature baby dragon. Her bloodline is extremely pure, even better than that of her sister, the Night Emperor. As long as she keeps sleeping, her strength will increase rapidly. The other dragon clan members are envious of this.

"Why did she come here alone?" Gu Xu frowned slightly and asked. Logically speaking, if Lingxiao Realm intends to launch a large-scale attack on Dahuang, it is impossible to send only one dragon. After all, given Haotian's character on the ether, he has always been suspicious of other races in the Lingxiao world, and will definitely send several "god generals" to come together.

And if it was just to spy on intelligence, it would be too risky to have the little princess of the dragon clan with noble blood appear in the East China Sea in such a high-profile way.

"I have a bold guess," Luo Chuan said after thinking for a moment, "Maybe the Night Emperor asked her to come here in the hope of establishing a cooperative relationship with us.

"After all, Emperor, you had a close friendship with the Night Emperor when you were in the Lingxiao Realm, and you were very kind to her."

While Luo Chuan was talking, Gu Xu was constantly flipping through Emperor Ziwei's memories.

He saw that Emperor Ziwei once passionately pursued Ye Huang, the leader of the dragon clan.

At that time, Emperor Ziwei visited the Dragon Clan's territory every day, recited love poems to the Night Emperor, and talked with her about Buddhist scriptures.

Although Ye Huang never accepted his courtship, she did gain a lot of Taoist enlightenment during her communication with Emperor Zi Wei, and she was grateful to him for this.

Emperor Ziwei also met Jiang Zhaoyue, the sister of the Night Emperor, in the Dragon Clan territory.

However, at that time, Jiang Zhaoyue, who was in human form, was just a young and immature girl.

Emperor Ziwei's attention was completely attracted by the mature and plump Night Emperor, and he had no interest in the young Jiang Zhaoyue at all.

"The relationship between the dragon clan and Supreme Haotian has always been quite subtle," Luo Chuan continued. "This dragon seemed to have been seriously injured in the process of traveling through the void, and was suppressed by the laws of the wild world. , she cannot exert her full strength, we should be able to completely subdue her.

"Emperor, we might as well try to wake her up first and ask her about the situation in the Lingxiao Realm and her purpose of coming here.

"If we can win the dragon clan to our side, even if we just keep them neutral, it will be an extremely beneficial result for us."

Gu Xu nodded and agreed with Luo Chuan's suggestion.

In recent days, he has really been trying to find various ways to obtain information about the current situation of the Lingxiao world. He has even considered forming a death squad to send their souls to reincarnation in the spiritual world.

Now that this dragon has come to her door on her own initiative, if we can pry out some information from her mouth, it will be a timely help.

The dragons in the Lingxiao world were born under the care of the laws of heaven and earth. They have extremely strong bodies and extraordinary self-healing abilities. Of course, the prerequisite for their self-healing is to stay in an environment with the aura of heaven and earth.

Because there is no spiritual energy in the wilderness, only evil energy, Jiang Zhaoyue's wounds have been unable to heal, and he even fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss.

It is not difficult for Gu Xu to wake her up.

He passed through the red dragon's blood that filled the sea water and came to the wound on the silver dragon's back. With a thought, he began to use the method of "subversion" to transform the evil spirit into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

In an instant, the surrounding seawater surged and countless bubbles moved rapidly.

The fish in the distance were disturbed by this strange movement and fled in all directions.

The scales on the silver dragon's back seem to have begun to gradually grow and recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Silver Dragon's eyes opened suddenly.

In the center of her purple pupils, Gu Xu's figure was clearly reflected. (End of chapter)
