Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 108 The dragon turns into a dragon

"Princess!"

Xiao Shan's eyes focused, and soon a young girl's face appeared in his mind, slowly matching the appearance of An Jing in front of him.

When he was still an official in Tai'an, the young Princess Anjing showed extraordinary abilities and had her own power in the court, which left a deep impression on Xiaoshan.

He quickly bowed respectfully towards An Jing, "Xiao Shan greets the princess!"

An Jing smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao is a pillar of our Da'an. Have you ever thought about re-entering the government?"

An Jing was very polite in his words to Xiao Shan, an upright man who had served in the court.

Xiao Shan couldn't help but say, "I am more suitable for teaching and educating people. I have never thought about entering the officialdom again."

An Jing nodded slightly when he heard this, but didn't say anything else.

Some people and some things cannot be forced, and this remote place is not the place to discuss state affairs.

Beside him, Lu Zheng looked at An Jing curiously. He didn't expect that this person was actually the eldest princess of An Kingdom.

He had heard a few things about An Jing before. She was considered the most famous and extraordinary woman in An State.

I spent some time with her not long ago and found that this eldest princess was quite easy to get along with.

Seeing An Jing's gaze, Lu Zheng raised his hand to salute, his expression calm and his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

"Lu Zheng pays his respects to the eldest princess."

An Jing's eyes flickered. She had imagined the scene of meeting Lu Zheng again and revealing her identity.

But she didn't expect it to be in such a place, and Lu Zheng's reaction was also very different from what she imagined.

Lu Zheng faced her calmly, with more curiosity in his eyes, and was polite but not respectful or fearful.

It was just like a normal greeting to a friend of the same age.

Even the noble men and women of Tai'an City dared not lack respect for her.

But An Jing didn't feel unhappy at all.

As a genius, you should have the pride of a genius, not afraid of the powerful or the gods.

How can a person with great integrity bow down to the powerful and wealthy?

If Lu Zheng respected and feared her, and lost his original heart, she would look down on him.

An Jing looked at Lu Zheng, smiled and said softly: "I went south secretly this time, not intentionally hiding my identity from Master Lu..."

"I understand." Lu Zheng nodded.

When you are away from home, having one more identity means having one more layer of protection.

Especially for someone of such noble status as An Jing, if the enemy country knew that he was traveling abroad, there was no telling what kind of trouble would arise.

Su Mei glared and secretly glanced at a few people, thinking that she really didn't check the almanac before going out today. The people she met were more important than each other.

"Cough cough..."

Qing Xuan coughed dryly and said, "Now is not the time to reminisce about the past. The Princess has arrived just in time. We were just about to track down a dragon..."

Qingxuan narrated what they had encountered in a concise and clear manner.

Only then did An Jing understand why Lu Zheng and his companions appeared here, and their goal was the same as hers.

Qing Xuan continued, "I plan to use magic to trace back the dragon. I think the princess is out looking for dragon energy, so she must have some secret method or treasure. I hope the princess can help me find the dragon."

"That's right." An Jing nodded. "I wonder what Taoist Qingxuan is going to do?"

Qingxuan explained his pursuit technique in detail.

The two of them discussed and decided on a safer approach.

Afterwards, the group quickly went deep into the underground abyss.

When they arrived at the pool, An Jing took out a round spirit bead, which emitted a warm breath.

"Is this really the dragon energy I'm looking for? It's actually a dragon that is about to transform into a real dragon..." An Jing said with a little surprise.

Qing Xuan looked at Zhu Sha and Su Mei and said, "I am about to cast a spell. Please relax and don't resist."

After saying that, Qingxuan raised his hand and injected the remaining dragon energy floating in the air into the bodies of the two women.

Then, Qingxuan formed seals with his hands, and streams of spiritual power penetrated into the souls of the two women, carefully triggering the restrictions left by the dragon.

Next to them, An Jing held the spirit bead in his hand and cast a spell, and the light enveloped the two women.

Under the influence of the magic, the two women's restrictions were affected and they suddenly felt a dull pain in their souls.

Su Mei held Zhu Sha in her arms, trembling in agony. She dared not make a sound, let alone resist, fearing that the magic would fail and she would have to continue suffering.

After a while, a hazy mist gathered in front of everyone's eyes, forming a phantom of green mountains and green waters.

Unfortunately, there was nothing special about the scenery, and everyone was not familiar with the surrounding area, so they couldn't tell where they were.

An Jing took the spirit bead and sensed it carefully.

"One hundred and fifty miles to the south, I can feel that the dragon energy has stopped there, and its aura is slowly increasing."

Because the dragon energy remained, An Jing used the spirit beads and Qingxuan's technique of tracing the origin, so she could now sense the location of the dragon energy more clearly.

Qing Xuan murmured, "Is he breaking through? We have to go there as soon as possible without delay."

Qingxuan waved his hand to put away the magic, then looked at Lu Zheng and gave him a few talismans and a jade talisman.

"We'll go ahead. You use the talisman to bring them both here. This jade talisman can sense my exact location... They have the seals I left on their bodies, so you don't have to worry about them hurting you."

The two women had to be kept to sense the location of the dragon, to prevent it from escaping and disappearing again. It was just right for Lu Zheng to watch over the two women, which was a bit of a help.

"Okay." Lu Zheng nodded seriously and took the things.

Qingxuan and the other two did not stay any longer and quickly left the abyss.

Lu Zheng looked at the two women, handed them two talismans, and said calmly, "Let's go!"

Su Mei collapsed to the ground, with a splitting headache, and said, "I'm in so much pain, Mr. Lu, please let me rest for a while!" "Your head hurts?" Lu Zheng looked at Su Mei.

Su Mei held her forehead with one hand and said in a soft voice, "Well, Master Lu, please let me rest for a while. I am in so much pain that I can't even see the road clearly."

Lu Zheng said, "Let me help you heal it."

"Hey, Mr. Lu can also cure diseases?" Su Mei glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, and asked in surprise.

"I know a little bit, so please stretch out your hand." Lu Zheng said lightly.

Su Mei smiled coquettishly upon hearing this and raised a slender hand.

Zhu Sha's eyes were dim, and he subconsciously took two steps to the side.

Lu Zheng had no expression on his face. He reached out and held Su Mei's little hand.

"Young Master..." Su Mei's eyes were charming and full of amorous feelings.

However, the next moment, Su Mei's face changed drastically, and she couldn't help but screamed: "Oh!"

Lu Zheng's hands were filled with righteousness, which began to burn Su Mei's arms, emitting a burnt smell.

She wanted to pull her hand back, but she felt that Lu Zheng's big hand was like a pair of hot tongs, clamping her hand tightly and unable to pull it away.

"Ahhh, it hurts, it hurts, please let me go... Ouch, no! I was wrong!"

Su Mei gasped in pain and almost fainted.

After a few breaths, Lu Zheng let go of Su Mei.

Su Mei took several steps back, looked at Lu Zheng in horror, and then looked at her arm.

The painted skin that originally covered his arm had been destroyed, revealing his natural skin, which was burned red and blistered. It was a horrible sight and caused waves of severe pain.

Lu Zheng said calmly, "Your head doesn't hurt as much now, does it? Are you much more awake and ready to go?"

Su Mei:......

So if she creates a more painful place, her head will not hurt as much?
She never thought that the treatment method Lu Zheng mentioned would be this way.

This is simply retaliation!

"You are scarier than a ghost." Su Mei couldn't help but mutter.

She had never seen such a cruel and ruthless scholar, he was simply heartless.

Lu Zheng was not angry at all. Instead, he said, "You're too kind. If I weren't scarier than a ghost, how could I have frightened you demons and ghosts?"

Su Mei was speechless.

Zhu Sha said coldly: "Let's go, do you still want to suffer?"

Su Mei's heart skipped a beat. She quickly stuck the talisman on her body, then rode the wind and quickly left with Zhu Sha.

She didn't want to stay in this damn place any longer.

Lu Zheng saw the two women leave quickly, so he was not in a hurry.

He looked at the remaining talismans in his hand, then put them away and took out the Taishi Jian and Dong Hu Pen.

Lu Zheng circulated his righteous energy and wrote a sentence.

A bit of awe-inspiring air, a thousand miles of breezy wind.

Suddenly, the words glowed, and a force was injected into Lu Zheng's body.

In just a blink of an eye, Lu Zheng felt as light as a swallow and his steps were light.

He quickly put away the two instruments, his figure became graceful, and he turned into a breeze, chasing after the two women.

Su Mei dragged Zhu Sha all the way south, sighing and saying, "We two sisters have really escaped from the dragon's den and entered the tiger's den..."

Before she could finish her words, she felt a gust of wind blowing past, and a shadow rushed forward. Who else could it be but Lu Zheng?

Lu Zheng slowed down a bit and turned around to ask, "Can you two go a little faster?"

Su Mei opened her mouth. Aren’t they using the same talisman? Why does it seem that Lu Zheng’s speed seems to be a little faster?

……

Among the vast mountains, there is a green mountain top.

The dragon girl looked up at the sky. It was a sunny day and the time was just right.

She waved her hand and threw out a formation plate. With a flash of light, a large formation emerged and enveloped the top of the mountain.

This formation can both isolate the aura to a certain extent and gather spiritual energy.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon girl took out a storage bag and threw it into the formation.

Countless sparkling spirit stones were thrown out, and then shattered into streams of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy was as thick as fog, permeating the entire formation.

He threw out another storage bag, and hundreds of Yang-Gathering Beads entered the formation.

Strands of yang energy filled the entire formation.

The dragon girl's eyes were burning as she slowly stepped into the formation, her figure gradually changing.

But within a few breaths, she transformed from a woman into a dragon.

The dragon was more than twenty feet long, with a golden horn on its head and dark blue scales all over its body, but it was faintly emitting a light golden glow.

Four legs have grown out of its abdomen, with the front legs being longer and the hind legs being slightly shorter, and they are not yet fully formed.

The dragon was perched in the center of the formation, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy and yang energy around it.

The dragon's breath was majestic, and with each breath, its aura slowly rose. Its dark blue scales gradually faded, revealing a light golden color.

The green dragon will transform into a real dragon in the near future.
