Chapter 331 Zhujiang Dragon King! Master Shikong?! (Subscribe)
Dafo Mountain is very large. It took Chen Yan and Shi Wen more than half an hour just to walk from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.

Of course, if he had magical powers, Chen Yan could reach the foot of the mountain in an instant just by performing the "Shrinking the Abyss" technique.

Not only that, even if Chen Yan went to the Zhujiang River where the Zhujiang Dragon King lived, it would only take him one day at most if he brought Shi Wen with him.

However, the magic power in this world is banned, so even if Chen Yan wants to use it, he has no way to do so.

If you want to travel quickly, you can only rely on your own legs.

But the monks in Dafoshan have a rather ascetic attitude. There are no horses or even donkeys in the temple, and they have to rely on their legs to get around.

Chen Yan was not used to these monks' habits.

You have to know that Chen Yan is used to flying. Ever since his cultivation level broke through to the stage of refining essence into qi, Chen Yan rarely travels on foot.

Although Chen Yan's martial arts had reached god-like levels and his body was extremely strong, he was still far inferior to running and flying on his two legs.

"Shi Wen, go to the nearby inn and borrow two horses."

Although the horse is a little slow, it is still a means of transportation.

So the first thing Chen Yan did after coming down the mountain was to ask Shi Wen to borrow a horse.

There happened to be a town at the foot of Dafo Mountain, where there would certainly be inns and stables.

But I didn't expect Shi Wen to hesitate and say:

"But……"

"But what?"

Chen Yan frowned slightly.

Shi Wen just spread his hands helplessly:
"But, Brother, we don't have any money."

Chen Yan:......

Since he took the position of pacification commissioner, Chen Yan had not heard the word "silver" for a long time.

When he suddenly heard these two words, Chen Yan was unable to react for a moment.

It took him a moment to react and he suddenly realized that he and Shi Wen were both paupers now. Apart from their monk robes, they had nothing else.

Chen Yan looked at Shi Wen in confusion for a moment and asked:
"So what about eating along the way?"

Monks are also human beings, not immortals. Although they can fast, they still need to eat.

Especially since magic power was banned in this world, Chen Yan felt more and more that his body was leaning towards martial arts.

In other words, Chen Yan's appetite now is huge, astonishingly large.

As Chen Yan finished speaking, Shi Wenwei, who was standing opposite him, clasped his hands together and said:
"If you really can't do it, I can go beg for alms, brother."

Begging for alms...

Chen Yan's mouth twitched, and finally, he glanced at Shi Wen and said:

"Wait for me here, don't move, I'll be back soon."

Having said that, Chen Yan turned around and headed towards the town not far away without waiting for Shi Wen to reply.

"Wait a minute! Senior brother! Don't do anything stupid! If the teacher knew..."

"Why don't you just not tell the teacher?"

Chen Yan waved his hand without even turning his head and walked straight into the town.

About half an hour later.

Chen Yan walked out of the town leading two horses.

Seeing the two horses behind Chen Yan, Shi Wen's face flushed:
"Brother, we are monks, not robbers..."

Chen Yan rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"What are you robbing for? Is that the kind of person I am?"

"In a town like this, there are bound to be hooligans. I just taught the common people a lesson and didn't hurt their lives. This is a gift from the innkeeper. Of course, I said it was a loan, and we will return it when we come back."

"But……"

Shi Wen wanted to say something but stopped.

"But what but? Let's hurry up and get going. If we don't leave now, we will be too late for the Zhujiang Dragon King's birthday banquet."

Chen Yan put the reins in his hand into Shi Wen's hand, then took the lead in getting on the horse. He turned around and urged Shi Wen, who was still hesitant, "
"Hurry up and get on the horse."

Shi Wen looked at the reins in his hand, then looked at Chen Yan who looked impatient. Finally, Shi Wen sighed heavily:

"Brother, this is not a good idea."

"If you are upright, you have nothing to fear. What's wrong with that? Just leave now."

Chen Yan glanced at Shi Wen sideways, and as he spoke, he shook the reins in his hand and rode his horse towards the official road.

Shi Wen wanted to mutter something else, but when he saw Chen Yan had already run far away, he hurriedly rode his horse to chase after him, shouting as he chased:
"Brother, wait for me!!!"
-
On the way, Chen Yan asked Shi Wen about the Dragon King of Zhujiang.

"That's a real dragon."

Shi Wen said with a serious expression.

“Brother, there is indeed a dragon in the Zhujiang River. But this dragon is not the dragon in myths and legends, but a giant dragon that has acquired great magical powers!”

A giant dragon that has acquired great supernatural powers?

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes.

It seems that this is a dragon that possesses the Tao fruit.

I just don't know what realm this dragon is in...

Thinking of this, Chen Yan suddenly looked at Shi Wen beside him and asked:

"Then why did the teacher ask us to celebrate the birthday of the Zhujiang Dragon King?"

I saw Shi Wen on the opposite side explaining:

"Brother, you don't know that the giant dragon has acquired great magical powers. Its strength has increased dramatically. It has occupied the entire Zhujiang River and called itself the Dragon King..."

Then, Shi Wen told the whole story of the Zhujiang Dragon King.

"This Zhujiang Dragon King seems to be about to transform into a real dragon. He has powerful magical powers and is familiar with human beings. He will not attack the common people. On the contrary, he will take care of the fishermen who are fishing..."

Chen Yan nodded when he heard this: "So this is a good dragon? Are we going there to make a good relationship?"

Unexpectedly, Shi Wen on the other side shook his head and said:
"No, we are going to persuade the Dragon King of Zhujiang not to start a war and stir up trouble, and to plead for the 200,000 people in Binjiang City."

Chen Yan frowned deeply: "What do you mean?"

Shi Wen said helplessly, "The Dragon King of Zhujiang originally had a son, but for some unknown reason, he turned into a carp and was fished out by fishermen from Binjiang City. He almost became their meal. When the Dragon King of Zhujiang heard about this, he became furious and vowed to flood Binjiang City."

Having said this, Shi Wen looked at Chen Yan solemnly and said:

"Brother, before this Dragon King of the River Zhui proclaimed himself the Dragon King of the River Zhui, he once caused trouble by stirring up rivers and creating storms. Later, it was Teacher who defeated him, and the Dragon King of the River Zhui only then stopped his temper and began to ensure peace and prosperity in the area."

"It is difficult to judge a giant dragon by its goodness or evilness. It is true that it protected the fishermen and it is also true that it drove the river and flooded the city. It is hard to say whether it is good or bad."

At the end, Shi Wen shook his head.

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes, as if he understood why Bodhidharma arranged for him to attend the birthday banquet of Zhujiang Dragon King.

On the other side, Shi Wen saw that Chen Yan didn't say anything, so he spoke:
"Brother, when we have the birthday banquet for Zhujiang Dragon King, we can congratulate him, and then have a good talk with him, and persuade him to stop in time and let the people of Binjiang City live." Chen Yan nodded: "We should persuade this old dragon, but not with our mouths, but with our fists."

Shi Wen was startled, and looked at Chen Yan with a somewhat horrified look:
"Brother, Brother, you..."

"How is Fulong?"

Chen Yan smiled slightly.
-
Dongyang Road is located in the southeast, bordering the ocean to the east and the Shiwanda Mountains to the south. There are many rivers and lakes in the area, and it has been a prosperous place since ancient times.

Binjiang City is located in the southwest of Dongyang Road. It got its name because of the Zhujiang River next to it. Most of the people in the city make a living from this river and the city is quite prosperous.

This day, in Binjiang City.

At dawn, amidst the mist, the grey bricks and tiles on the city wall gradually emerged, welcoming the first rays of sunlight. On both sides of the street, there were shops with flying eaves and carved beams and painted buildings, revealing an ancient yet refined atmosphere.

As the sun rises, the market gradually becomes lively, with a bustling crowd, shouts, laughter, and the sound of carriages and horses interweaving into a vivid market symphony. Vendors stand in front of their stalls, holding goods in their hands, shouting out their own treasures; or shuttle among the crowds, soliciting customers with their clever gestures and enthusiastic words.

There is a wide variety of goods, from exquisite porcelain and embroidery to fresh fruits and vegetables and lively fish and shrimp, all of which demonstrate the richness and vitality of this town.

Teahouses and wine shops are even more lively and bustling. Literati and scholars gather here to write poems and compose couplets, or drink tea and discuss philosophy. The aroma of wine and tea interweaves and floats in the air, attracting passers-by to stop and take a look.

Ordinary people, on the other hand, prefer street food stalls, with steaming buns, fragrant candied haws, soft and delicious pastries... Every bite is an ultimate temptation to the taste buds and leaves people with endless aftertaste.

In the elegant seats on the third floor of the Riverside Tower, a dashing, handsome young man in a white robe was holding a glass of wine, looking at the surging river and pouring himself a drink.

On the opposite side, a young boy who looked a little immature looked at the young man in white robe with admiration in his eyes.

"It's a pity, it's a pity."

The young man in white robe shook his head slightly.

The young man was stunned, looked at his senior brother and said:
"What's a pity?"

"It's a pity that I was not invited to the Dragon King's birthday banquet this time."

The young man in white robe shook his head calmly.

"That's because the Zhujiang Dragon King has no eyes... wuwuwu!!!"

Before the boy could even utter a word, he was immediately covered by the young man in white robe.

The young man in white robe looked at Zhujiang in fear, and when he saw that there was no movement, he glared at his fellow apprentice in anger:

"Don't say this nonsense."

The young man grumbled in grievance:
"But you are the number one talent in Dongyang Dao, a master who is less than 30 years old. The Dragon King of Zhujiang should have invited you..."

"Cough cough."

The young man in white robe touched his nose awkwardly and was about to say something.

suddenly!

Crackling~
The city was filled with the sound of firecrackers, mixed with the sounds of drums and gongs, making it very lively.

The young man had sharp eyes and could see clearly that there were more than a dozen big men carrying a statue of a god covered with red silk in a parade through the streets, creating a noisy and bustling scene wherever they passed.

"Brother! What is that!?"

"That is the statue of the Zhujiang Dragon King."

"Wow! There really is a dragon!"

The young man in white robe nodded and said with a hint of awe:
"There really is a dragon, and it is said to be an old dragon that has lived for nearly a thousand years."

A hint of envy flashed in the eyes of the young man in white robe.

In fact, he and the young man were just from a small sect, and they were not considered a big force in the martial arts world of Dongyang Dao. The number one genius of Dongyang Dao was just a title that the young man in white robe proclaimed himself.

This time, the Zhujiang Dragon King held a birthday banquet and invited martial arts heroes from all over Dongyang Dao. It is said that there will be a martial arts conference at that time, and the winner will be able to obtain the top-level cultivation techniques rewarded by the Zhujiang Dragon King.

The top-level skills collected by an old dragon who has lived for thousands of years...

When he thought of this, a fiery flash appeared in the eyes of the young man in white robe.

But soon, the passion died down, leaving only helplessness.

It’s a pity that these small sects don’t have an invitation to the Zhujiang Dragon King’s birthday banquet, so they can’t get in even if they want to.

"Invitation..."

The young man in white robe muttered to himself, looking distressed.

Suddenly, a dragon roar was heard.

hold head high!
The dragon's roar echoed throughout the city.

Wherever the sound waves reached, countless devout men and women knelt down, and all the cats, dogs and birds in the city crawled on the ground as if frightened, not daring to raise their heads.

"Master Shikong is here in person, Old Dragon is honored!"

Hearing the dragon speak human language, the white-robed youth and other outsiders were all horrified. The white-robed youth quickly looked in the direction where the Zhujiang Dragon King was looking, and then his eyes widened with shock on his face:
"Master Shikong??!"
-
Move forward a quarter of an hour.

What is the principle of this world?
remains?

A small world in the cave?
On horseback, Chen Yan held the reins and hurried on, with all sorts of thoughts racing through his mind.

It has been almost a week since he came to this world, but he still hasn't noticed anything unusual. He eats, drinks, swallows, and practices martial arts every day just like the outside world. It is really unbelievable.

Except that you cannot use magic power, it is no different from the real world.

Could it be that this is really a real world and Chen Yan has traveled through it again? !
"Um?!"

While thinking in his mind, Chen Yan suddenly seemed to realize something, and his monk robe was blown up by the wind.

Xilulu~
The horse neighed loudly, its legs went weak, and it almost knelt in front of the city gate.

Just at that moment, the dragon roar was heard.

Chen Yan looked up and heard the roar of dragons. In the distance, the water of the river was rolling and the waves were surging. A fierce and powerful aura was rising.

In a trance, I felt as if a black dragon emerged from the sea, bringing with it the surging river water that connected to the sky. The power it displayed in an instant was enough to shock the entire city.

"Master Shikong is here in person, Old Dragon is honored!"

The dragon roared loudly, and the whole city was silent.

The devout men and women cried for joy, ordinary people hid away in fear, and for a moment the streets were in chaos, while more people looked towards the city gate following the sound.

Someone saw an old monk in a gray robe riding a horse, his beard and eyebrows were all white, and his face was covered with frost.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the young monk standing next to the gray-robed old monk. The figure is strong and the aura is powerful. He is like a sword unsheathed, sharply cutting through the air waves!

The name of Shi Kong has never been spread in the martial arts world.

For a moment, all the martial artists who saw this scene were speculating about Chen Yan's origins.

Who is this person, and why is he welcomed by the Dragon King?

Only a few people, after seeing the monk robes on Chen Yan and Shi Wen, seemed to think of something, their pupils suddenly shrank, and they murmured:

"Dafoshan..."
