mountain ghost

Chapter 46 Sleep, good night.

Ao Zhu?

The Seventh Princess of the Dragon King of the East China Sea?
Hearing the voice's answer, Lu Chen couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

He thought that the voice in the conch was more likely to be some kind of goblin monster or wandering ghost, but he didn't expect it to be a dragon princess!
This is unbelievable.

The East China Sea is thousands of miles away from here.

How can the conch from the East China Sea appear in this pool in the mountains? Could it be that the bottom of this pool can connect to rivers and seas thousands of miles away?
How could the majestic Dragon King's daughter play with conch shells all day long?
Lu Chen was full of doubts, and he didn't believe the other party's words. At this time, another voice came from the conch: "By the way, I haven't asked the gentleman's name, and where is he from?"

"My name is... Dashan, um, I'm from Taiyuan Prefecture at the foot of Taihang Mountain."

Lu Chen is still not sure about the identity of the other party, so of course he will not reveal his real name.

Because there is such a miracle recorded in the Chronicle of Mountains and Rivers, a wizard who has the skill of cultivating witchcraft, who gets a person's real name, can use it to cast a spell, causing people to suffer bad luck or die suddenly from illness, such spells, of course Lu Chen wants Be prepared.

So, I simply chose a "screen name" for myself.

"Mountain?"

The "seventh princess" didn't find anything strange when she heard the name. Maybe she had never been in contact with the outside world, so she thought that maybe everyone outside had such a name, so she didn't ask, but instead asked Lu Chen. Said place names are of interest.

"Taihang Mountain? I know this place. Many years ago, my father mentioned it, and I once had a drink with the Dragon King of the Four Seas..."

The Dragon King of the Four Seas once went to Taihang Mountain to have a drink?
When Lu Chen heard this, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

The dragon gods of the four seas rule one sea area and the world's water tribes, and their divine status and authority are no lower than those of the Taihang Mansion. Mountains and seas are irrelevant. Invitation from the Lord of the Taihang Mansion?

Then this Taihang Mansion Lord has too much face.

Lu Chen was amazed, but he was convinced of the identity of the "seventh princess", so he asked again: "I didn't expect you to know Taihang Mountain, so do you know that this is the Fujun mountain god on Taihang Mountain?"

He wanted to try to learn more about the Lord Taihang from the mouth of the Seventh Princess.

He also chatted with the elders of Qinghua Village before, but they are only mortals after all, and their lifespan is limited, and the original Taihang Mansion Lord has disappeared for countless years, even they can only learn about it from their ancestors. Just hearsay, no useful information.

If this Seventh Princess is really the daughter of the Dragon God, maybe she will know more information?
"Master Taihang Mansion? I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it."

However, Ao Zhu's answer made Lu Chen even more confused.

Since Ao Zhu knew that the Dragon King of the Four Seas would drink at Taihang Mountain, how could he not have heard of the name of the Lord Taihang? Could it be that they came here not at the invitation of the Lord of the House, or that the Dragon King of the Four Seas came here because he would not be here at all? Instead of having a drinking party, he was ordered to kill the former prince, so he never mentioned his divine name in front of future generations?

Lu Chen had various guesses in his mind.

Unfortunately, none can be confirmed.

Just thinking about this, I heard Ao Zhu say again: "Dashan, Dashan, tell me what the outside world looks like. Let me tell you about your Taihang Mountain first. What does it look like? Is it a very beautiful piece?" Big coral reefs?"

"It's just a bigger mountain..."

Lu Chen is a little speechless, how should I explain to you what a mountain is?
Suddenly he felt that this dragon girl seemed a bit stupid, so he frowned and asked, "You've never been out to sea, have you?"

The voice over there quickly became low for a while.

After a long time, he said: "I have been in poor health since I was a child. I have to stay in the Crystal Palace to survive. I have never even been outside the palace. The only thing I can see is the coral reef outside the window. Mother passed away a long time ago. Father and brothers I am very busy and rarely come to see me. The only one who can accompany me is the conch. I have made many such conchs and released one every day, but I have never received any response..."

Obviously, she doesn't often talk to people, so her language logic is rather chaotic, but she also has a strong desire to confide, so when she talks, she turns into talking to herself.

At first, Lu Chen was a little impatient.

But after listening to her words, inexplicably felt a little pitiful.

Forced to be trapped in a square inch of the palace since childhood, even if you are a princess, so what?

No different from a prisoner.

This kind of loneliness, Lu Chen actually felt a little bit of it.

Thinking that he was trapped in the clay statue back then, if he hadn't had some chance, he might have been the same as her, right?

Of course, I am more fortunate, I have jade talismans, and I have met Xia Xueyi, Li Kaiyang, Lin Xiaofan and other people, so my world will not be empty and lonely.

And this dragon girl, I don't know how many years she has been alone.

The loneliness and longing revealed in those words cannot be faked. Hearing this, Lu Chen actually began to believe in her identity.

He didn't interrupt, he just acted as a listener, listening to Ao Zhu talking about the trivial things in her small world.

I don't know how long it took.

Only then did Ao Zhu realize that she had already said so much, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, did I talk too much? Are you still listening?"

"I'm here."

Lu Chen responded gently.

"Great."

Ao Zhu seemed relieved, and then said, "You are the only one who can activate the conch to respond to me, so I am a little excited, please don't take offense."

"It's okay, I can probably understand your feelings too."

Lu Chen smiled and stretched out his hand, stroking the gorgeous surface of the conch, as if comforting the people thousands of miles away.

"Fortunately, all of this is over, isn't it? Now that you have me as a friend, you can come to me if you have anything to say in the future."

"what?"

The voice over there froze for a moment.

Perhaps it was the word "friend" that made her a little strange and pleasantly surprised. After a while, her joyful cheers came from the conch, as clear as pearls falling on a jade plate.

"You mean, do I have friends too? You mean, can I still talk to you in the future?"

"Of course, if you want."

"Great!"

Ao Zhu was very excited, "Then tell me about the outside world, I want to hear it."

"it is good."

Lu Chen didn't refuse, since he was idle anyway, he began to tell her about the situation in the Taihang Mountains. Of course, he didn't know much about the outside world, so he could only start with what he knew. Occasionally he was asked some questions. The strange question can only be explained with the common sense on the earth.

Anyway, Ao Zhu has never been outside, so it is easy to fool her.

With that said, two hours had passed before I knew it.

Lu Chen suddenly heard a yawn coming from the conch, followed by the girl's slight snoring and whispering: "Dashan, I also want to taste the red bayberry you mentioned..."

This guy actually fell asleep?
It's not that Lu Chen's words are so hypnotic, but that it takes a lot of mana to maintain the conch's sound transmission for thousands of miles.

The dragon girl is the body that dominates the sound transmission, so almost all the mana consumption has to be borne by her, while Lu Chen only needs to inject a small amount of spiritual energy.

In this way, even with the cultivation base of the dragon girl, maintaining it for several hours is the limit.

Although she still wanted to continue talking.

But I was really exhausted, so I gradually fell asleep, and the sound of the waves in the conch gradually became low.

"good night."

As Lu Chen spoke softly, Conch fell completely silent.

　Listening to people's persuasion and eating enough, Golden Snake and Golden Dragon Elephant officially changed its name to "Xia Xueyi", and will reconnect and return in the near future. I admit that I am a waste of names, sorry.
