Chapter 70
With a soft click, the flickering firelight dispelled the dark haze, and the entire corridor suddenly lit up, illuminated by a small lamp, made of bronze, in the shape of a palace maid sitting on her knees, dragging the lamp with one hand, and her sleeves in the other. Above the lampshade, it is placed on the side of the corridor.

Ye Sheng immediately recognized that it was the Changxin Palace Lantern, a creation of the Han Dynasty court. During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei always claimed to be after Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan Jing, and the Changxin Palace Lantern was unearthed in the tomb of Liu Sheng's wife.

A girl is standing next to the Changxin Palace Lantern, wearing a white-bottomed and blue-edged cross-collar skirt that falls to the ground. She looks no older than 20 years old. Her hair is tied up in a bun and she doesn’t wear makeup. She looks like a romance heroine in an idol drama. .She was bent over, holding two igniting flints in her hand, the flames of the Changxin palace lantern flickered slightly, her face was covered with a hazy shadow, Ye Sheng had a strange feeling, as if this girl came from a thousand years ago Before, mysterious and elusive, all he saw was her shadow.

Jiu De Yaji and Ye Sheng did not dare to go forward, although the distance between them and the girl was only five or six meters, in the city of the Bronze and Fire King, they suddenly encountered an ancient girl who looked like a human being. They will feel that the indifferent face that looks calm and watery is a lovely young lady who can talk to each other. When she looks back, they may see the anger of the king.

Will Dragon King Norton be a girl?Ye Sheng quickly turned his brain. Cassel roughly restored the history of ancient dragons based on the dragon data he had already mastered. It is said that the four monarchs were directly created by the black king. Dragons can reproduce even if they are alone, and there is no male and female mating necessary, and humans have never confirmed that dragons have genders or not.

The dragon family is so perfect, it is the ultimate in the reproduction of the evolutionary tree. At that point, descendants seem to be dispensable, because a dragon can be reborn as long as it leaves an egg before being killed, and in the world itself There is not much that threatens them.In ancient China, there was a saying that the phoenix was reborn from the fire, but the dragon is the real indestructible body.

"It's been a long time since no one has been here." The girl threw the flint into the Changxin palace lantern, closed the lid, and tucked her hands in her wide long sleeves in front of her. "Today... what year is it?"

"Two thousand and two years have passed since Wang Mang changed his country's name to a new one." Jiu De Yaji said boldly, if this girl is indeed Norton herself, then she must know that Wang Mang changed Yuan It was from this period that Gongsun Shu officially began to flourish.

"2000..." the girl murmured, "It's been so long in the blink of an eye."

Ye Sheng couldn't feel any hostility from her, but the snakes that were released were blocked by the girl. There seemed to be an invisible wall in front of her, which meant that the girl's bloodline was far above Ye Sheng.

Ye Sheng clenched his diving knife quietly. He got A+ grades in all items in the practical class at Kassel College. Even though Yanling was not suitable for fighting, he felt that he could still do two tricks in the face of a humanoid Dragon King. , so that at least Aki Shutoku can buy time to escape.

"While I start, you run back and go back the same way." Ye Sheng communicated directly with Jiu De Yaji with the spirit of words, so as to avoid being heard by the other party.

"Are you crazy?" Shutoku Aki's eyes widened in surprise, "She hasn't shown any hostility yet!"

"The dragons that will appear in Bronze City, who else is there except Norton?"

"I can hear your voice." The girl suddenly said, Ye Sheng's heart trembled violently, "But you did make a mistake. When the lord goes out, the ministers should abide by their duties. It is my duty to stay here."

She turned halfway and made an inviting gesture: "I am the servant of the lord, named Samson. The owner of the house is away, and entertaining guests is also the etiquette of a servant. Please come with me."

Samson's every move has the elegance and calmness of an ancient lady. The eldest lady from a famous family often knows everything about poetry, poetry, etiquette, elegance, and etiquette. Ye Sheng has always felt that such people should only exist in TV dramas.But now the real ancients were in front of him, and Samson was from two thousand years ago, maybe even longer, so she would ask what year it was, because she had not left this place for a thousand years.What is even more concerning is that she said that the lord has left, and of course the lord of Bronze City will not be Gongsun Shu, the Dragon King Norton, has he awakened?

I don't know if these are lies or the truth, at least Samson didn't show hostility, and she is very approachable now, Ye Sheng and Shudoku Aki looked at each other, nodded, and followed Samson into the depths of the corridor.

There was another door in the depths, guarded by the living spirit, but this time there was no need to donate blood. Samson just patted the head of the bronze man, and the water door slowly opened.The curved channels on both sides washed down a lot of water, and the floor began to sink slowly until the water covered the top of their heads.

"My God!" Shutoku Aki exclaimed.

Ye Sheng followed her line of sight and looked down. The bottom of the water was full of white bones, which were densely piled up into mountains. The obvious skull features showed that these were all human beings, and there were at least tens of thousands of them.

Pieces of rusted metal can also be seen in the gaps of the bones, the kind you saw on the gate before you came in. They are the remains of the armor, which means that these dead bones are most likely ancient soldiers.

This is very consistent with history. The history books say that in the early days of Gongsun Shu faced Liu Xiu's troops, it must have been Norton's help. It was not until Liu Xiu found the mixed-race Wu family that the Han army captured Baidi at a huge price. city.

He suddenly looked at Samson's back, thinking that it was a trap. Samson might be luring them to the depths of White Emperor City and strangling them, just like these dead soldiers, but Samson didn't turn his head to look at him, in the water She floats freely, like a graceful mermaid.

It was the feeling of being dead and having nowhere to go again, drifting in the endless ocean. With the previous experience, Ye Sheng was no longer so flustered. He tightly held Shudoku Yaji's hand and closed it Eyes, let the buoyancy lift themselves up naturally.

The sound of rushing water was sparse, and Ye Sheng suddenly opened his eyes. He thought he should see a magnificent and vast palace. There should be the Panlong Master who is holding the sky, the bronze spitting faucet, the gold powder and silver foam painted on it. On the wall, the dazzling brilliance is as bright as day.

But now he and Jiu Deyaji are soaking in the pool of a hut. Behind them is a bronze waterwheel crunching and spinning. In front of them is a small bridge over the flowing water, which is a bronze-cast residential house, four long The palace lanterns lit up the surroundings. Outside the house, there were several stone piers and a white jade table engraved with a Go board, and a few chess pieces were scattered. This was probably the most extravagant thing here.

Surprisingly, a monarch should be proud and self-reliant, using wealth and power to pile up a palace to show his prominence to the world, but Norton seems to be a guy with a very low-key name on his head, living in such a place is not so much him He is a king, rather he is a leisurely person like Tao Yuanming.

Samson did not invite them into the house, and the lord was not there, and of course the guests could not enter the house without permission. They sat outside at the white jade table, and Samson went inside, and later brought back a bronze teapot.Seeing Samson pouring tea for them in an ancient way, Ye Sheng began to think whether this tea, like Samson, had been kept here for 2000 years, and if he drank it, he would have diarrhea.

"I know why you are here." Samson sat opposite the two of them, and there was no tea prepared for her in front of her. "You are human, but you have the blood of dragons."

"It's hard to imagine that I'm sitting and drinking tea with a dragon. I thought you should have killed us in a rage." Ye Sheng opened his diving suit mask. Dragons are reptiles, and they also need to breathe. Samson lives Deep inside this bronze city, the air is exceptionally fresh. This should be due to the design of the bronze city itself. There are ventilation passages around it that communicate with the outside world.

"If it was in the past, I should have." Samson said lightly, "The lord once fought with the emperor, and a large part of Lord Gongsun's soldiers were entrusted to me to command, because he trusted the lord, and of course he also trusted me, buried here. There are thousands of Han army skeletons under the city, why would I care about killing two more people?"

"That means you won't do it now." Shudoku Aki said, "Why? Dragons and humans should be mortal enemies."

"I didn't say I liked you and invited you to sit here, just because I need your help, and in exchange, I know what you want." Samson pointed to the room behind him, "It's there. "

"Aren't we afraid of us robbing it?" Ye Sheng raised his eyebrows. In his opinion, Samson was a little too careless. Although she is a dragon, but now it is two-on-one. Yude Aji is even better than him in terms of fighting ability. To be strong, and Shutoku Aki always modestly said that he was far worse than his sister.

"You are not my opponents. I am the lord's close minister and his sword. The lord has the honorary title of the King of Bronze and Fire. Even among the dragons, his alchemy is particularly outstanding. You should know it."

Samson put his finger on the white jade table. A seemingly slender and tender index finger only touched it so lightly, and a blade-like crack was carved on the white jade table.

She is indeed a weapon, an extremely sharp weapon. Although she looks like a young girl, she has long been forged by Norton into an alchemy blade that destroys gold and iron, and the material may be Samson's bones.

No one knows how Norton did it. As the pinnacle of dragon alchemy achievement, Norton's attainments far exceed human cognition.

"Okay, we admit defeat." Ye Sheng clapped his palms, expressing applause for Samson's performance.

If your opponent can cut off the white jade with just one finger, I am afraid that no one will want to play against this kind of thing.

"But how did you do it?" Shudoku Aki was curious. "You look like a human girl. When the dragons become human in appearance, they will become similar to humans except for their inner parts."

"Because I'm a living creature." Samson pressed against his chest. "Across the line between life and death, the master's greatest masterpiece."

Samson opened his chest, and his fingers were enough to cut Bai Yu's chest. It only took such a light touch to open his chest. Ye Sheng and Shudoku Aki both saw the structure of her body. There was no internal organs or muscles. Some only have hundreds of mysterious bones of the dragon family, which have lost their original color and turned into a color like bronze.It's hard to be like her beautiful appearance, but she only relies on these bones to support it, people can't help but think of the white bone spirit in Journey to the West, except for the white bone, there is only one skin.

"See no evil!" Jiu De Yaji stretched out her hand to block Ye Sheng's eyes, because she knew that Ye Sheng had never been in a formal relationship, and it was too astringent to let a pure-hearted virgin watch a girl pull her clothes off in front of him.

"It's all bones, what's so beautiful..." Ye Sheng muttered.

"Before the Lord died, he left a cocoon and made me into the ultimate alchemy living creature. I kept everything in the past and stayed here for 2000 years, guarding the cocoon of the Lord, just waiting for him to recover." Samson re-worn Good clothes, "But I don't like this. Would you like to be alone in one place, listening to the sound of running water and waiting for 2000 years?"

"But you just said that Norton has already left here." Ye Sheng pushed aside the hand of Jiu De Yaji, "Then you still need to stay here?"

"I can't leave here, this is the rule of the Dragon Cave. In order to prevent the invasion of outsiders, there are flexible doors all over the Bronze City, and at the same time to prevent the invaders from leaving and killing them, one must sacrifice a person to leave here. , this rule takes effect on the entire Bronze City, except for the lord himself." Samson looked into Ye Sheng's eyes and smiled lightly, "A living person's blood is enough."

Ye Sheng stood up suddenly, kicked over the white jade table, and pulled Jiu De Yaji back.

The ancient dragons were arrogant and ruthless. They were more inclined to use their own violence to crush human beings. However, with the development of history, the secret party found that dragons became more and more cunning. Power creates tricks and manipulates puppets, and those well-known histories often have dragons behind them.

The same is true of Samson, she is just a servant of the Dragon King, but in the past 2000 years, she has learned to use her innocent appearance to deceive human beings without a teacher.

It was really a trap, it was planned from the beginning, they shouldn't be here, Samson tricked them into a dead end, and those bones were the end.

Samson waved his hand gently, and the white jade table was silently chopped into pieces. As the ultimate flexibility created by the Dragon King Norton, even without a master, she is still an invincible magic weapon.

"The living being sealed in the door is no longer saved, but I am different, I can still act, I can still think, as long as there is the blood of the dragon family, I can still be myself." Samson's eyes showed desire. The light, "I don't care about betraying the lord, I only care about myself, come on, didn't you come for the bone bottle? Give you the jar and exchange your dragon blood for it!"

She no longer has to disguise herself, every word is a roar, hoarse, blue-black scales drilled out from all over her body, and her graceful and slender arms suddenly grew into sharp claws of Tyrannosaurus, tearing the skirt to shreds, An icy light flashed from the bone claws that pierced through the knuckles.
