dragon hunter

Chapter 309
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was silent for a while.

I can hear my heartbeat, and it beats faster and faster. The news that Lang Xingsong revealed is too explosive.

Dragon veins are not indestructible, but the dragon veins that wither and die are mostly branch dragon veins of the middle and low rank.

As one of the nine meridians, the main meridian will also die, which completely subverts my world view.

Lang Xingsong took out a cigarette and lit it, smiled wryly, and said: "This rumor, I saw it during the pulse protection time, has been circulating for many years, and I didn't believe it before. Seeing these mummies, I can't help but not believe it."

"These mummies?" I turned my gaze to the kneeling mummies on both sides of the aisle.

"Uncle, do you know the origin of these mummy?" Lang Ying leaned over and asked.

Lang Xingsong played with the dagger in his hand, sighed, and said, "Yingzi, have you heard of Moyue's family?"

"The Moyue family, that family that has disappeared long ago?" Lang Ying looked sideways at the mummified corpses with thoughtful eyes.

"Yes, you are still young. You don't know many family secrets. The Moyue family and our Lang family actually have a deep relationship." Lang Xingsong looked at the two rows of mummy kneeling on the ground, his eyes showed seriousness.

Lang Xingsong solemnly placed the dagger in his hand next to a mummy, turned to face us, and said, "The Moyue family and the Lang family are both blood-protecting families with nine veins. Because they are adjacent to each other, the two families have always been close friends. Family friends, but Moyue's family mysteriously disappeared overnight."

"When did this happen?" I thought for a moment and asked.

"I was not born at that time, and many things were told by the elders in the clan, and after the mysterious disappearance of the Moyue family, rumors of the disappearance of the Nine Meridians spread among the Mai Mai family," Lang Xingsong said. Follow the past.

"Isn't southern Yunnan your territory? What do they mean by running here and committing mass suicide?" Fatty Wang looked puzzled.

"This is exactly the answer I want to find. Because of emotion and reason, no one from the Moyue family should hold a sacrifice ceremony here." Lang Xingsong took a puff of cigarette, thinking in his eyes.

"Let's go, maybe the answers to all the mysteries can be found in the front." I walked lightly and walked forward.

Fatty Wang glanced greedily at the dagger on the ground, after all he knew the importance of it, muttered something in a low voice, and trotted towards the opposite side.

"Look, there seems to be a light ahead!" Lang Ying's voice was a little excited.

I squinted and looked ahead, and I could vaguely see a layer of white fluorescence in the lens of the passageway.

"Everyone be careful, let's go and have a look." Lang Xingsong urged in a deep voice.

As the distance gets closer, the white fluorescent light in front becomes more and more eye-catching.

"The front seems to be a wide hall." Lang Ying stretched her neck and looked ahead.

I slowed down, took out the Gouyu sword, and leaned forward cautiously.

In that hall, there was something that emitted white fluorescence, illuminating the adjacent passage.

Suddenly, I shrank my eyes, stopped, and stared nervously ahead.

"Brother Zhang, what's the matter?" Lang Xingsong leaned over alertly.

"Look at the grass-root-like plants on the ground of the passage." I pointed to the front and said in a deep voice.

"Imprint vine!" Lang Ying let out a suppressed exclamation, and then asked why the immature vine on the ground was so small.

"Those should be vine seedlings." After Lang Xingsong finished speaking, he walked forward cautiously.

I took a few steps closer, and threw out a piece of burning talisman paper. The talisman paper with tail flames fell to the ground, scorching a small piece of vine seedling nearby.

"It shouldn't be a big threat, but everyone should be careful." I warned, followed Lang Xingsong, and walked forward.

At first, I was a little nervous when I stepped on that layer of vine seedlings, but my attention was quickly attracted by the fluorescent things in the hall.

"What is that, is it really the legendary keel?" My eyes were full of shock and I muttered to myself.

A white skeleton more than ten meters long, exuding fluorescence, crawled on the floor of the hall, and the pale dragon head at the very front had an astonishing momentum.

"I'm not dreaming, are there really dragons in this world?" Fatty Wang bit his finger hard, with an expression of disbelief.

"Exactly the same, exactly the same as the keel dug out at the beginning." Lang Ying muttered to himself.

It's hard for me to use words to describe my mood at the moment, staring blankly ahead, even ignoring the threats around me.

"Be careful!" Lang Xingsong shouted, stretching out his hand and pulling me aside.

I staggered and almost fell, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a black shadow passing by in front of me, slamming on the stone wall beside me.

Stone chips were flying, and the one who sneaked up on me just now was a vine as thick as an arm.

The threat in front of them diverted everyone's attention for a while, and they didn't have time to think about the keel at the moment, and concentrated on dealing with the thick vine.

Remembering what Lang Xingsong said about the weakness, I saw an opportunity, swung the jade sword in my hand, and slashed at the seven inches of the vine.

The extremely difficult vine suddenly broke into two pieces, and then withered quickly.

I stared blankly at the hooked jade sword in my hand. I didn't expect that the seven-inch point is really the weakness of this weird plant. It works surprisingly well, and it solves the problem with one blow.

"Be careful, there are more vines extending over." Lang Ying screamed to remind.

The few stretching vines are as thick as arms. If I met such a thick guy before, I would definitely turn around and run away, but the battle just now gave me confidence.

After a hard fight, there was no danger. After mastering the weakness of the vine, although everyone was embarrassed, they finally solved these difficult guys.

Fatty Wang was also unlucky, his fat face was swollen, but during the scuffle just now, he was accidentally hit by a vine and hit the stone wall beside him, his fat face turned into a pig's head.

"Why is Fatty so unlucky." Fatty Wang covered his face with his hands, wanting to cry but without tears.

With a smile on my face, I took a look at that coward, and thought it was pretty good, at least my face was swollen like this, this guy was struggling to speak, and everyone's ears could be quieter.

After solving the threats around us, our attention was once again focused on the keel in front of us.

"Brother Lang, your family has a profound heritage and many classics have been handed down. Do you think there are such creatures as dragons in this world?" I asked hesitantly.

"It doesn't make sense. If there is such a creature as a dragon, how can there be no mention of it in those ancient books?" Lang Xingsong also looked puzzled.

To be honest, after experiencing so much, I believe that there are many rare birds and beasts in the world, but the appearance of dragons in myths and legends still challenges my worldview.

"You said, could this be a big python?" Fatty Wang covered his face and expressed his guess.

"How do you explain the dragon's head? What kind of python has a skull like that?" Lang Ying retorted.

I looked at the skeleton in front of me. If I only looked at the body part, I could explain that it was a boa constrictor, but the dragon head on the head could never be faked.

Moreover, this skeleton also exudes a faint white fluorescence, which casts a veil of mystery on it.

"Hiss, I figured out what this is." Lang Xingsong gasped and said, patting his leg vigorously.

"What?" We all asked together.

"It's true to say that this thing is a dragon bone, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the dragon in myths and legends." Lang Xingsong took a few steps forward.

"Old man, speak up, don't be obsequious." Fatty Wang said vaguely with a pig's face.

"Every high-grade dragon vein has a chance to give birth to a strange thing called dragon's spine stone. The dragon bone in front of me is actually a kind of fossil." Lang Xingsong revealed the answer.

I frowned slightly, thinking about the three words "Longji Stone", but unfortunately there is no record of these three words in the Broken Physiognomy.

No, maybe it's not that there is no record, but because the scriptures are so incomplete, the information related to the "Dragon's Back Stone" has been lost.

"Uncle, what's the use of the Dragon's Back Stone?" Lang Ying asked curiously.

"The dragon's spine stone contains part of the essence of the dragon's veins, and it is inseparable from the dragon's veins. Now that there is a dragon's spine stone here, it seems that one of the nine veins has really disappeared." Lang Xingsong said in a complicated tone.

"Could it be that those mummies who committed suicide were simply for burial?" I thought of the mummies on both sides of the passage.

"Maybe, the family of guardians of the veins and the dragon veins are closely related. This relationship is far closer than outsiders imagine." Lang Xingsong said in a deep voice.

"By the way, there seems to be no way ahead, how do we get out?" Fatty Wang suddenly lost interest when he heard that the opposite side was not a real keel.

"I heard from the elders in the clan that the Dragon's Back Stone has various magical functions. If we want to go out, we have to land on it." Lang Xingsong walked forward.

I followed and took two steps forward, wanting to get closer and observe the strange thing opposite, a feeling of extreme danger suddenly rose in my heart.

Before I could react, I saw a thin black shadow shooting towards Lang Xingsong's face.

"Be careful!" I rushed over and pushed Kai Lang Xingsong hard.

The black shadow ejected from the opposite side jumped into the air and fell to the ground, revealing its true face.

This is a small snake about a foot long, but it has three strange heads and three pairs of rice grain-like snake eyes, shining with a cold light.

"Zhu Jiuyin?" I stared at the little snake with some uncertainty. This weird three-headed snake is exactly the mini version of Zhu Jiuyin.

"It turns out that the legend is true. Zhu Jiuyin really evolved from Imam Vine." Lang Xingsong leaned over and said standing beside me.

"This strange snake has the aura of dragon veins, and it probably absorbed the essence of the Dragon's Back Stone, everyone be careful." My back was slightly tense, and I said hurriedly.

As soon as the words fell, the miniature version of Zhujiuyin on the ground moved, the speed was so fast that the naked eye could hardly catch it, my eyes blurred, and I felt a tingling pain in my arm.

In less than half a second, I felt that the injured arm began to lose consciousness, and this numbness began to spread along the arm to the whole body.

"This snake is very poisonous, don't be bitten." I mobilized the yang energy in my body to resist the numbness, and warned in a hoarse voice.
