"You are indeed a prince, please be polite." Qiu Yan saluted.

The young man Ao Wai shook his head, saying that he did not dare, and then continued: "The last time I invited you, the bachelor was busy with important affairs of the country, so he was unable to make the trip. My father felt sorry for it. Now I know that after the bachelor's busy work, he has a little free time. , ask Xiaolong to come over immediately and extend the invitation again. "

After the words fell, Ao Wai waved his hands slightly, and a wisp of cold air came out of his hands. After wrapping around them, it condensed into an invitation, and then he presented it respectfully.

Qiu Yan took the invitation and glanced at the dragon prince first. He could see a hint of yearning on his face and eyes, and at the same time he understood the intentions of the Jing Dragon King.

"The last time I invited you, I sent two shrimp soldiers, but they failed. Now I've even sent Long Zi, which shows that I've increased my stakes."

As if he had guessed Qiu Yan's thoughts, Ao Wai on the opposite side said: "Please be clear to me, bachelor. My father is in charge of the water veins in the well. Don't leave easily, otherwise he will come in person."

Hearing this, Qiu Yan nodded, then lowered his head to look at the invitation in his hand, scanning it with his eyes.

The words above were very much the same as last time. Although the words and phrases were slightly different, the general meaning was still the same. However, when his eyes fell on the last line of words, he was slightly startled.

I saw this sentence, which clearly said, "Someone wants to harm the real dragon. Xiao Wang knows something about it. If the bachelor comes, he should tell the truth."

After this sentence, there is the signature, which still reads the name "Privy Council Well Dragon King".

At this time, Qiu Yan's mood was slightly different. He pondered for a moment and said to Ao Wai: "As the saying goes, there are only three things that can be done. Since His Highness King Jinglong invites you so kindly, if Qiu doesn't know what to do, he will be a little uncomfortable. Thank you for your support. Please lead the way."

When Ao Wai heard this, he immediately showed joy and nodded repeatedly: "You are so polite, bachelor. When you ask for talents, you must first show your sincerity. How can you be disrespectful? If the bachelor can respond, it is already a big deal, and it will make everyone in this palace happy." Hui! Speaking of which, although Xiao Wang has lived in the Dragon Palace of God for a long time, he has also dabbled in the Da Rui literary circle. He has copied some of the scholars' knowledge and experience from several books and studied them sooner or later. , I feel quite inspired, and I hope I can get some advice from you. ”

"Huh? I didn't expect that my knowledge and practice of humanities would be spread to the underworld of the gods."

The words of the dragon prince also made Qiu Yan a little surprised. Then he nodded and said: "If you have time, you should discuss it with the prince."

"I don't dare discuss it with you. It's Xiaolong who is asking for your advice, bachelor. Please..." he said. Ao Wai turned around, but instead of leaving first, he stood respectfully at his side.

It's strange to say, even though it was in a dream. But the surrounding scenes were generally the same, and the cold air on the ground was much clearer with Ao Wai's movement. It spread out, as if it were a carpet, extending out.

Ao Wai and the two shrimp soldiers were half a step behind to show respect. Qiu Yan was not pretentious and immediately took a step forward and left first. He also knew that his destination was the well in the courtyard, and there was no need for anyone to guide him. The words he used to guide him were actually polite words.

As he walked on the cold carpet, he could feel the coolness under his feet, seeping in and faintly cooling Qiu Yan's thoughts.

"Oh? The frost is the path, which has the effect of clearing the mind and refreshing the mind. If you are an ordinary scholar, you can sit on it to practice calligraphy, recite, and interpret meanings. You can get twice the result with half the effort. There is something we can learn from here. Now that I have finished my work on the national war, I should take some time to visit the Imperial College to spread the word and strengthen my humanistic foundation. I might as well learn from it to improve the learning environment for ordinary people. "

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan took a step forward, passed through the wall that separated the lobby and the back hall, and returned to the Si Yamen lobby. There was also a famous official walking around and busy in the hall.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Yan had a thought and realized that the dream in front of him was unusual.

"It turns out that a layer of dreamland is laid on top of reality, as if it has covered the real world with a layer of clouds, allowing people in the dream to walk inside and see the scene of reality. This is a good idea and method, and it is very useful for teaching students It also helps, with my current magical power, I can do it, but I just need to put more effort into making this dream spread in a place with strong dragon energy like the capital."

After thinking about it, his people had left the lobby, wandering forward in the Privy Council, and finally came to the front of the well.

Compared with ordinary days, the wellhead in the dream is completely different. Wisps of dense aura can be seen spreading from it, extending in all directions, vaguely consistent with some thin luck in the four directions. Even the little luck in the Privy Council, There are also connections.

"A dragon king controls the mouth of the well. But from Ao Wai's words just now, we can tell that what the dragon king controls is not just a well, but the water veins connected to the well. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people, everywhere. The well water in the whole city is actually of great significance. It is not an exaggeration to say that it can be connected with many fortunes. It’s just that even a little fortune from the court is vaguely consistent with the water in this well, which is a bit intriguing. No matter how you say it, the Dragon King is a divine way. ,but……"

When Qiu Yan changed his mind, the mist at the mouth of the well had already risen and turned into the outline of a door. Behind the door was a deep place, with a faint cold air and the aura of the underworld.

Just by looking at it, Qiu Yan understood that the Dragon Palace was inside the door.

There is a dragon king in the well. It does not mean that the dragon king lives in a small well, but that one can go through this well to the underworld dragon palace where the dragon is.

Qiu Yan walked forward a few steps and saw several water ghost messengers walking out of the door and bowing to him. Ao Wai behind him took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to grab it. A few scales grew out of his hand and solidified and fixed the erratic door.

At this time, Qiu Yan was close to the door and could vaguely sense a little breath of the dynasty dragon from the door.

"The emperor is called a true dragon, and according to rumors, the dragon clan is also a branch of the true dragon bloodline. I wonder if the two sides really have some connection."

With this thought, he stepped into the door.

The next moment, the light and shadow changed, as if he had walked into a colorful passage. Qiu Yan was not unfamiliar with this and knew that it was a passage similar to the Yin-Yang Road.

However, compared with the Yin-Yang Road, the people's wishes inside are different. Unlike ordinary incense, one can vaguely capture an obscure and vast momentum from it. Strictly speaking, it is somewhat similar to the power of order.

This made him more curious about the origin and background of the dragon clan.

The colorful passage lasted only one or two breaths, and the scene in front of Qiu Yan suddenly became clear. He was under a water area. Air bubbles rose from below and floated upward. The light was winding in the water. There were many fish swimming. Looking down, the water plants were dense and darker.

Then, Ao Wai waved his sleeves, and bubbles surrounded Qiu Yan and him, sinking down. This time, the water splashed and the coolness came.

As he sank, he passed through a layer of water leaves, and a huge palace appeared. It was bright and crystal clear, and there was a divine pressure spreading out.

Seeing this thing, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes and found a familiar breath from it. He knew that it was a palace similar to the underworld palace, but what concerned him more at the moment was...

"This place can only be reached by crossing the Yin-Yang Road, but this breath is somewhat similar to the underworld, but there is a big difference. Is it not the underworld? Is it possible not to enter the underworld after crossing the Yin-Yang Road?"

The underworld palace of the gods is generally where the bodies of the gods are located, and the underworld palace is generally across Yin and Yang, communicating life and death. The breath is different from the pure underworld. Qiu Yan can clearly distinguish this difference, and the breath that is similar to the underworld under the water in front of him is something he has never encountered before.

"Bachelor, please come in..."

At this time, Ao Wai and he had fallen to the bottom of the water, and the bubbles wrapped around the two burst with a bang. The surrounding water flow invaded, but there was no huge pressure, and it would not suffocate people. Instead, it brought Qiu Yan a refreshing coolness.

Then, you can see the water flowing on Ao Wai's body, and a few scales grow on his face, two short horns grow on his forehead, and a faint aura emanates from his body.

As soon as Qiu Yan saw it, he knew that he had returned to the origin, and his body and mind were unobstructed, revealing the characteristics of the dragon clan.

Retracting his gaze and looking forward, he saw tall pillars and huge arches. This gate is not much inferior to the gate of the outer city of the capital.

"This should be an arch for dragons to enter and exit. The dragon's body is huge and it is inconvenient to shuttle through, but if you look at it from a human perspective, it looks a bit huge." Thinking of the dragon horns on Ao Wai's forehead, Qiu Yan had such a thought in his heart.

At this time, someone came up in front of the arch. It was a group of ghost officials wearing court robes. The leader was a man about forty years old, with a handsome face and elegant demeanor. He wore a lavender cloak and a crown on his head.

"Hello, scholar. I have been waiting for you for a long time." As he got closer, the middle-aged man spoke. His voice was low and magnetic. As soon as he spoke, people knew his identity.

"I failed to keep the appointment last time. Please don't blame me, Dragon King." Qiu Yan also bowed.

"It's nothing. State affairs are more important. Assisting the real dragon is the right way," the Well Dragon King smiled slightly and made a "please" gesture. "Besides, now there are foreign forces plotting against Donghua Jiangshan, and even plotting the life of the real dragon. It is a top priority. Compared with this, what's the harm in coming later?"

"Huh?" Qiu Yan was stunned when he heard it, and then realized that this Well Dragon King obviously knew something.

Noticing Qiu Yan's expression, the Well Dragon King smiled slightly and said: "These things, we can talk slowly when we get inside." (To be continued...)
