Elden Gulong in American comics

At this moment, a giant dragon flew across the sky. Genichiro looked at the giant dragon in the sky and was stunned for a moment, then he felt something.

A string of thunder erupted from his hand. Even if the scales were taken away, the seeds of the ancient dragon's power still existed in his body.

In the storm caused by the ancient dragon, Genichiro clenched his fists. This time, he had to rely on the power he had gained to defend Ashina from the hands of ambitious people.

But first, he still lacked suitable equipment. Genichiro looked into the distance. Outside Ashina Castle, there was a temple called Senhoji Temple.

The monks there are said to possess immortality skills, and in a sense, they can also be regarded as Genichiro's partners.

Therefore, it shouldn’t be too much to ask them for something.

While Genichiro was thinking about how to have a prince's revenge, the ancient dragon was already flying towards the mountains behind Ashina Castle.

For a long time, Ashina's connection with the Source Palace relied on a very metaphysical ritual.

The selected woman will sit on a sedan chair on the chosen day and be sent to the back hill of Ashina City, where the incense of the source will be lit, and then she will be sent to the kingdom of heaven by the messenger from the fairyland.

At least according to the records that Kuro found in ancient books, the rituals required to enter the Palace of Origin are so abstract.

But Gu Long looked at the sky. The sky in Ashina City was very calm, and there were no buildings like palaces at all.

There are only a few trees and weeds on those mountains, and there are no traces of man-made buildings.

From this point of view, the Palace of Source may have hidden itself in some way, and it can only be accessed through special methods.

For this reason, the ancient dragon can only fly to the site that was once used for sacrifice and reenact the scene of sacrifice in the past.

But I don’t know if the nobles of the Palace of Origin will be so frightened that their hearts will jump out when they see that the sacrifice is a dragon.

Soon, Gu Long found his target, which was a somewhat dilapidated sedan placed in a cave, which was the place for ancient sacrifices.

Gu Long turned into a human being and got into the sedan. Michaela quietly came out and lay on Gu Long's shoulder.

"This seems to be the means of transportation used by women in this world to get married."

"Yeah, probably for them, sacrificing sacrifice to the gods is equivalent to marrying the gods."

Gu Long said casually, poured the source of incense made by Jiulang on the ground, and blew out a puff of flame to light it.

"That makes me jealous."

Michaela chuckled and said, she hugged Gu Long's neck tightly and said in his ear: "I can't let you be snatched away by other gods."

"You can't take it away, I'm such a big dragon."

The fragrance of the source spread out, and the fragrance was very thick, like the perfume sprayed on someone who hadn't showered for three weeks. It was so strong that the cologne sneezed several times.

At this moment, there was a thunderous rumble in the sky. Gu Long looked up and saw a huge knot falling from the sky and grabbing the sedan where Gu Long was sitting.

But the next second, with a dragon roar, the ancient dragon broke through the blockade of the rope and flew upward.

Only now did he see the full picture of the knot. It was a straw man made of hemp rope and as big as a mountain. The straw man's body was leaning against a mountain peak.

And on top of that mountain peak, there was a smoky palace waiting for the arrival of the ancient dragon.

"What a brilliant technique."

Gu Long looked at the straw man and said, frowning, he didn't even notice when those palaces appeared.

"This palace is not in reality, but in the gap between the spiritual world and reality."

Michaela said to Gu Long that she had seen through the tricks of the Palace of Origin:

"The moment you light the incense, this palace descends from the spiritual world to the human world. Because it is a spiritual body, there is very little movement."

"Yeah, it's a wonderful world."

Gu Long said as he landed in front of the palace. The style of the palace in front of him was very simple, and its noble and elegant temperament was unmatched by Ashina City in the secular world.

Sakura trees were planted around the palace, and pink cherry blossoms fell in the wind, creating a gorgeous rain of flowers.

"This place is quite beautiful, with a beauty that is different from the border area."

Gu Long reached out and took a petal. Every cherry blossom here is a special variety called Changzakura, so the flowers bloom in full bloom and seem to never wither.

"Perhaps you can bring some seeds back. This kind of tree should be able to survive in the north."

Michaela reached out and crossed the flower rain in front of her, and the petals penetrated her body. Just when Gu Long was about to enjoy the beautiful scenery here, heavy footsteps broke the tranquility in the flower rain.

"It looks like someone doesn't want us to enjoy the flowers."

From the passage leading to the Palace of Origin, an extremely tall person walked forward. She was wearing women's clothes, like a nun, holding a sharp naginata. When she saw the ancient dragon, she let out a piercing roar.

The other party's face was hidden under a ghost mask, and his two red eyes were fixed on the outsider in front of him.

"Is this a janitor?"

Gu Long walked forward casually, but the opponent had already slashed at him with a sword. The long-handled naginata was a self-defense weapon used by women, but in the hands of this man, it was a sharp weapon that could kill people.

boom!

The next moment, the knife collided with Gu Long's hand, making a dull sound. The seemingly unstoppable blow was actually held in Gu Long's hand.

"The strength is good, but unfortunately, the knife can't do it!"

Clap!

The next moment, the naginata shattered inch by inch and exploded like rain.

Gu Long stepped forward and hit the opponent's masked face with another hand. The next moment, the mask shattered, revealing a face like a mummy.

Chapter 317: Water that turns people into monsters

The moment Gu Long punched, the huge enemy's head in front of him shattered.

Gu Long, who was stained with some blood, shook his hand and looked at the enemy in front of him. Michaela added in time:

"This seems to be the monk who broke the precepts and the eight hundred nuns in Ashina's legend."

"It is said that she is the gatekeeper of the Source Palace. Because she committed a crime, she will always guard the gate of the Source Palace."

Gu Long tilted his head and looked at the fallen monk. His body was twisting, as if he was not completely dead yet.

The next moment, a huge centipede emerged from the opponent's headless body. Then the headless body stood up, and the broken head was reassembled by the giant insect. Obviously, the broken monk in front of him also had the power of immortality.

However, this kind of power seems a bit too disgusting.

"It's a bit similar to the blessing of the golden tree, but it's much lower level than that."

Gu Long said, kicking the body of the broken monk in front of him, then stepping on the huge body and inserting his hand into the opponent's body.

Blood spattered, and Locke frowned. The sticky feeling was uncomfortable, but Gu Long still caught the bug in the opponent's body.

The bug was unexpectedly huge, as thick as an ordinary person's waist. Locke even suspected that there were no internal organs in the opponent's body, and only the bug was left to drive the operation of the muscles.

"This insect seems to have a human soul."

Mikaela stretched out her hand curiously and tapped on the squirming long insect. A bit of light mist poured out from the insect, turning into a faint shadow of the monk who broke the precepts.

The monk who broke the precepts was holding a naginata and practicing his sword skills in front of the ancient dragon, as if he was fighting some powerful enemy.

"It's not a soul, it's just a remaining memory."

-

The battle memories of the monk who broke the rules in the palace:

The battle memories belonging to the broken monks of the Palace of Sources now only have sporadic remnants left.

The monk who broke the precepts is the gatekeeper of the Palace of Origin, and he is also an insect possessor. He will always guard the palace. It is more convenient to be immortal.

His real name is Eight Hundred Bhikshunis.

-

After seeing the sword skills of the monk who broke the precepts, Gu Long exerted force on his palm. The centipede-like insect squirmed in Gu Long's palm, screamed, and then broke apart unwillingly.

"This doesn't seem to kill it."

Michaela looked at the bug in front of her. This bug seemed to be able to lurk in the human body and manipulate people's actions in some way.

And it itself also has a certain degree of immortality. At this moment, the insect's body is returning to normal little by little.

"Is this the power of Sakuraryu?"

Locke said softly, it is said that the Sakura Dragon is in the Palace of Origin, and the water flowing down from the palace becomes the prototype of water in the human world. The parasites contained in it become undead bugs, which parasitize in the human body and bring deformed immortality to people. .

The blessing of immortality was twisted and turned into a curse that people could avoid.

"Maybe it has something to do with the golden tree. This kind of deformed immortality reminds me of the past junction."

Michaela recalled the golden tree dynasty in the past. Those who could not die fought on the battlefield, bonding their flesh and blood with the enemy, and then were resurrected again with the blessing of the golden tree, as tireless as puppets. .

"But the golden tree's blessing is not so disgusting. At least it won't plant bugs in people's bodies."

Gu Long shrugged and walked towards the huge gate of the Source Palace in front of him. After the monk broke the rules, he no longer had the temperament to appreciate the flowers.

In front of the palace gate, which was so thick and tall that mortals could only look up at it, Gu Long put his hand on the palace door. With a little force, the palace door burst open, showing Locke the view of the Palace of Source.

Half of the palace here is submerged in water. The traces of time have filled the place with an ancient atmosphere. The cherry blossom trees bloom like a canopy in the palace, raining pink petals.

From the palace, one could occasionally hear the hoarse sound of the flute, with a dull twilight air, like the lamentations at a funeral.

Under those vermilion pillars, there are palaces that are so dilapidated that they can hardly be seen as they were. These palaces were built on the water, and some are even half-submerged in the water. It is really surprising that they can still maintain such a state.

Gu Long stepped forward, the wings behind him waving, making his body float on the water.

"Do you want to go to the palace? I feel like there is something bad in there."

Michaela said softly, but Gu Long patted the other party's hand: "It's okay, go and have a look, those things can't hurt me."

With that said, Gu Long walked into a palace. In the dim palace, some black shadows were crawling among the ruins.

Hearing the sound of the ancient dragon flying into the palace, one of the black figures looked up. It was a monster that resembled a combination of a human and a slug. It had four slender arms, translucent skin, and a mummy-like face and Dark eye sockets.

The monster was wearing a blue robe like an official, holding a flute in his hand, and was squirming slowly.

Then he stretched out his hand, the surrounding air vibrated, and some white light balls flew from Gu Long's body. Suddenly, Gu Long felt that his body became slightly heavier.

"He's feeding off your energy."

Mikayla stretched out her hand as she spoke, and the white light group stopped in mid-air, and returned to Gu Long's body as she moved.

"This attack is no different from tickling."
