The phoenix embraces the clouds and faces the Phoenix Palace, and the fish flips over the waves to turn into the Dragon Palace.

After entering the crystal clear Dragon Palace, it is really full of beautiful scenery. The water and waves, against the backdrop of the crystal palace walls, have an unusual beauty, combined with the light, engraving a series of sparkles on the ground.

Walking in the spacious and quiet corridor, there are many poems and calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls on both sides. Qiu Yan glanced and saw many familiar names in the signatures of these calligraphy and paintings.

These names, without exception, have left a trace in the history books.

Seeing Qiu Yan's surprise, the Dragon King of the Well said with a smile: "These are the calligraphy works left by the learned people who served in the Privy Council or lived nearby. They were all invited by me as guests. I have been in charge of this well for many years, so I can collect many of them. Speaking of which, I hope you can leave your calligraphy works for me later."

"I see," Qiu Yan nodded, "No wonder there are names of people from the previous dynasty and earlier times in the signature." With this episode, Qiu Yan had some understanding of the character of the Dragon King of the Well.

After walking a few steps forward, he suddenly stopped again, and then his eyes fell on a piece of calligraphy. The signature of this calligraphy was "Muye Shanren".

Some people may be unfamiliar with this title, but Qiu Yan, who had been in charge of the Hanlin Academy Library, knew that this was a person's self-proclaimed name. That person was quite unsuccessful when he was alive and was poor in his later years, but after his death, his poems, calligraphy and paintings were very popular and were highly praised.

Qiu Yan didn't expect that this Dragon King actually collected a piece of calligraphy from that person. Judging from the writing and signature on it, it was obviously the handwriting left by the person who was invited here.

However, what really concerned Qiu Yan was not the identity of the writer, but this piece of calligraphy, which had the sign of suppressing luck and reversing cause and effect!

Just a glance. Qiu Yan could feel his consciousness faintly beating.

"I am just a wisp of consciousness now, condensed into a dream figure. If it were my real body and flesh, it would be very likely that what was provoked was not consciousness, but the Yuanying, Yinling, and even Qi and blood in my body, and it might even be luck!"

While Qiu Yan was thinking, the Well Dragon King also stopped and spoke again: "Poetry can determine luck, and the meaning of the scriptures can be used for merit. In order to improve my luck and status over the years, this king has really absorbed a lot of literary essence, and the luck of this Dragon Secretary is also stained a little bit on it."

"Improve status?" Qiu Yan thought As soon as he moved, "Qiu has heard about related things. It is said that if the gods want to improve their status, they cannot avoid the Heavenly Court."

The Well Dragon King said: "The Heavenly Court naturally controls many gods, restricts them with talismans, and constrains them with the underworld. But it cannot control us dragons. The Heavenly Court is not omnipotent. In addition to the gods who have received the Heavenly Court's talismans, there are also free gods and innate gods. Even the ancient gods, although they belong to the way of gods, are not governed."

"Free gods, innate gods, ancient gods..." Chewing on these names, Qiu Yan's heart was in turmoil. He did not expect to learn such information so suddenly in such a place.

The Well Dragon King seemed to have said something trivial and took a step. Still leading the way. Qiu Yan withdrew his eyes from the words.

Soon, the two walked out of the long corridor, divided into main and secondary, and sat down in the magnificent hall. This main palace hall had already prepared fine wine, and there were many enchantresses, offering fruits.

At the Dragon Palace banquet, drinking can make you feel spiritual energy, eating nourishes your vitality, even if it is just a wisp of consciousness, it is still very beneficial.

During the banquet, the Well Dragon King no longer mentioned anything, but only discussed the meaning of scriptures and poems. Relying on his experience of more than a thousand years, he had a good chat with Qiu Yan. Later, they talked about the way of knowing and doing promoted by Qiu Yan.

"Although I live in the underworld, I have heard of the scholar's theory. Although there are some points worth pondering, it is also quite desirable. Many of my children are quite yearning for this way of knowing and doing. The scholar has already met one of them."

Hearing the words of the Well Dragon King, Qiu Yan smiled slightly and nodded, "It must be Prince Ao Wai."

"That's right," said the Well Dragon King, and gave a few instructions to the people around him. A ghost messenger went out, "The scholar, you might as well give them some pointers this time. I heard that you recruited two apprentices in the world of the living. I wonder if any of my children are also honored to be your disciples."

After these words fell, more than 30 men and women walked in from the side door of the hall. The men were handsome and the women were pretty. They all had one or two scales on their faces and dragon horns on their foreheads, but the size and color were different, and the pressure of the dragon breath they exuded was also high and low.

"Your Majesty really has many children, this is a blessing." Qiu Yan glanced and saw Ao Wai's figure among the more than 30 people. He knew that they were all the children of the Dragon King, dragon sons and daughters.

After these people came in, they were divided into two rows according to men and women. The closer they were to the front, the stronger the dragon breath on their bodies and the bigger the dragon horns on their foreheads. Ao Wai stood in the fifth row of men.

The Well Dragon King said: "I asked you to come here to pay respect to Scholar Qiu. The so-called worship of the wise and obedient to the order can also be regarded as letting you get a little literary spirit." When he was talking to his children, his face was no longer smiling, his face was tense, and he showed majesty.

Then he turned to Qiu Yan and said: "It's not easy for the scholar to come here, why not give them some guidance on their studies."

"Academics? It may be a bit presumptuous to say this. Qiu really didn't expect that there is such a saying in this Dragon Palace." Qiu Yan's words were a bit rude, but with the tone, it gave people a sense of deep talk, which invisibly shortened the distance with the Well Dragon King.

King Jing Long said with a smile: "I want the bachelor to know that my dragon clan is born with a divine personality, but it is not the same as the god of incense and fire. It is related to the inter-dynasty. If there is no literary thought, it will be completely separated from humanity. Then there will be no resistance to Shinto. "

"Oh? So, the Dragon Clan is taking advantage of humanity to maintain a balance with Shinto?" Qiu Yan said this, with a meaningful look in his eyes as he looked at King Jing Long.

From the moment they met, this Dragon King seemed to speak casually and in a whim, but kept revealing all kinds of information, as if he had accidentally leaked it, but when connected together and combined with Qiu Yan's own knowledge, he immediately made him aware of the situation. I gained a new understanding of many things.

"Huh? Unintentionally?" Suddenly, Qiu Yan had an idea, "If you tell it unconsciously like this, is there any chance to avoid the entanglement of cause and effect? ​​Some things, once mentioned, will involve cause and effect and be known to others, but there are ways to avoid it. Avoid it, especially when the words themselves have certain characteristics..."

With this in mind, Qiu Yan did not refuse and started talking to the children of King Jing Long.

King Jing Long has been in power for more than a thousand years, and he has many children. After they grew up, they all got married and traveled. Now they live in the Dragon Palace, and they are all unmarried.

During the conversation, Qiu Yan noticed that some of the dragon girls were secretly eyeing him. The admiration for this pair of talented men was irrespective of species. Qiu Yan's deeds were often mentioned in the Dragon Palace. mentioned by people.

However, Qiu Yan did not respond to this. When he was talking to Longzi and Longnu, he gave some pointers on the essence of knowledge and action. Then he discovered that some luck spread from the void and entangled these dragons. On the body of the descendant.

Then, Qiu Yan paid a little more attention and explored against the current. In the void, he found a ball of luck, which slowly gathered like a ball. Subtle luck continued to gather from all directions and split into many at the same time.

In the depths of the luck ball, Qiu Yan caught a sense of knowing and doing, which was surprisingly the same as his idea!

"Is this... the main body of the school of luck? Is it the luck of my humanistic divine way, the way of knowledge and action derived from the mortal world? However, it looks like it has not been formally formed yet! Logically speaking, it is impossible to be sensed Why am I aware of it now? Could it be because the Dragon Palace is located in a space similar to the underworld?"

At the same time as he came up with this guess, Qiu Yan understood the Dragon King's intention of summoning his children.

"It seems that if extraordinary people learn the science of humanity, they will benefit from part of their luck. However, this is considered normal. People who have been seen for a long time have immortal names. Such people have learned a certain doctrine, and to a certain extent It can ensure that the doctrine is not annihilated, but at the beginning of the establishment of knowledge and practice, it cannot be divided too much. "

Here, Qiu Yan had just finished his thoughts, and over there, King Jing Long said with no doubt: "Is there anyone who is interested in the bachelor? If he is interested, I will make a decision and let him study with you."

As soon as these words were said, the movements of the Dragon Son and the Dragon Girl paused slightly. For example, Ao Wai showed a little desire in his eyes, knowing that this was a rare opportunity.

However, Qiu Yan shook his head and said: "Now, Qiu still has a lot of things to do. The theory has not yet been formed and needs to be studied. If the luck is not at its peak, it will not be able to withstand the power of the dragon." ”

This has been said very simply and clearly.

The Jing Dragon King's eyes flashed, and then he shook his head: "It seems that my lineage is no longer blessed. You all should retreat first." When the Dragon King waved his hand, many dragon sons and dragon girls showed regret and regret. , with all kinds of thoughts in his arms, reluctantly left.

After everyone left, King Jing Long clapped his hands, and the singing, dancing and string music in the palace stopped and quickly dispersed.

The scene that was lively a moment ago suddenly became quiet.

After doing this, King Jing Long's smile softened a lot, and he shook his head and said: "The bachelor is a successful practitioner after all. You should have seen some of my selfish motives, but this is also a helpless move."

Qiu Yan knew that the main play was about to begin, so he solemnly said: "If you have any difficulties, Your Majesty, you might as well just tell me."

"Forget it," King Jing Long sighed, "the bachelor has discovered that the current real dragon has been plotted by someone, and its life span is gradually lost, and its life span is less than five years..." (To be continued...)
