The sun was unexpectedly warm. On this refreshing and pleasant morning, there was an endless stream of carriages and horses coming and going in front of the Daming Mansion. People were chatting and laughing. They talked about the appearance of the Holy Dragon, the counterattack of the Demon-Breaking Bow in the Cloud Dream, and the heavy race war.
Eighteen men in black robes with dragon patterns respectfully followed behind a silver-haired young man in a white cloak. They walked out of the main gate of the Daming Mansion unscrupulously. The guards did not know who they were. They only hurriedly bowed when they saw the immortal elder who had received the favor of the Holy Dragon following behind the young man.
"My lord!"
……
"Who is that? Such grandeur."
"Don't talk too much. Maybe he's from some big country.”
"Then there's no need for Elder to accompany me, right?"
……
Under the arrangement of the long-browed elder, the former mayor of Maple Town, an elite guard team of eighteen people quickly appeared by Cloudflow's side. Cloudflow used its own dragon blood and the low-yield White Spirit Stone from the Maple Country to create eighteen dragon hearts with special powers, giving them the right to use a random element. This was also a small gamble by Cloudflow to see if anyone could gain the favor of a high-level element.
Dragon blood was not a cabbage. What flowed through it was highly concentrated three-dimensional energy. He had lost at least a hundred attributes at once, and it would take a long time to make up for it. Cloudflow had invested a lot of resources in order for this team to be able to quickly deal with the battle. The users of the elemental weapons and the owners of the seven weapons could not be transferred to other people. Now that there was already a large-scale battle in preparation, they could not let the already weak human race weaken even more. After familiarizing themselves with the abilities bestowed by the Heart of the Dragon, they would become a powerful force. After completing their mission, they could be sent to the battlefield and become another sharp knife.
The eighteen of them knew Cloudflow's identity and were currently looking at the silver-haired figure with fanatical expressions. They followed closely behind Cloudflow, not falling behind or overstepping their boundaries.
"Looking for the Killing Pill." Cloudflow had given such an order after leaving Maple City. They were to disperse and come to find him through the Dragon's Heart a month later, regardless of whether there was any news. He named this team the Black Dragon Guards. The reason why he used the White Opposition as his guards was that Cloudflow had understood after going to South City with Kikyo that light sometimes needed the protection of darkness.
A team of pure black appeared in the Kingdom of Maple, claiming to be the Black Dragon Guards. They traveled in all directions, usually in pairs. It was said that they were messengers who walked the human world on behalf of the holy dragon to reward good and punish evil.
……
A thin flame was swimming on Cloud Flow's fingertip, and it burned his palm when he lost control. His body that was impervious to water and fire naturally did not suffer any harm. He had a wild grass in his mouth as he walked slowly.
"Killer Maru-kun, where are you?”Cloudflow looked at the cloudless sky and sighed.
"Little brother over there!"
A voice came from behind. Cloudflow turned around and saw a man with a ponytail running towards him.
"Little brother, can you help me?" He asked with a smile on his face, panting.
"And you are?" Cloudflow looked at him strangely. Was there really such a strange man who came up to talk to him?
" I'm a doctor from a village in the south. My name is Qi You." The man smiled and said," Can you please give me the Spirit Nurturing Grass?"”
"Spirit Nurturing Grass?" Cloudflow pondered for a moment.
"It's a kind of herbal medicine that can promote pregnancy. It's in your mouth.”The man called Qi You bowed slightly." I'm sorry for being rude, but it's not good to keep it in your mouth like this.”
" Fertility…herbs?" Cloudflow was shocked. He removed the weed from his mouth and observed it carefully, but he did not find anything special.
" Because it looks ordinary, it's hard to find it in the weeds." Qi You reached out and pointed at the root of the grass. " There will be fine red lines here.”
Cloudflow stretched his head to take a look, and it was indeed so.
However, Seven You's next sentence made him not dare to bite the grass in his mouth for a long time.
"The villagers often use it when they breed pigs.”
……
There wasn't much furniture in the hut. There was an old red comb on the old cabinet with a few strands of hair on it, as if it had been used frequently. There was also a incense burner beside it, and a portrait that surprised Cloudflow was hung on the wall.
White soft scales, a mysterious floating posture in the air, and a pair of cold snake eyes. That was the portrait of the Musashi White Snake! A village with such a portrait probably had a long history that was worth remembering.
The two of them sat opposite each other on the tatami.
" Sorry." Seven You pushed the bitter tea in front of Cloudflow." I asked you to come here because we really don't have enough manpower."”
"Where are the people in the village?" Cloudflow drank a mouthful of tea. It was the taste of the wilderness.
" He went to participate in the war," Seven You smiled helplessly." After all, that lord said so. He had to go.”
"You're all ordinary people. How can you participate in such a war?”Cloudflow frowned. His original intention was not to send ordinary people to their deaths.
" No," Qi You sighed." There's a special reason."”
"Oh?" Cloudflow was interested.
"I didn't fight the demons." Seven You took a sip of tea and smiled bitterly." Because the army has placed all their power on the demons, the bandits can plunder without fear. The men in the village can only pick up weapons.”
Cloudflow fell silent. For the first time, he realized what kind of position he was in and what kind of responsibility he had to bear for making such a decision. What kind of consequences would a race war that would not end until one of them died? Death, injury, and death. Slaughter, destruction, who should bear all these sins? As the pure white holy dragon, or as Cloudflow, or all the innocent people.
"Then what is it?" he asked.
"You're not married yet, right?" Qi You looked like he had experienced this before.
"Yes." Cloudflow was stunned. For hundreds of years, he had never thought of such a problem. His long life had made him feel very distant about marriage.
"According to the village's customs, unmarried men are needed to comb the hair of the dead before they can sleep.”Seven You said after some hesitation.
" I see." Cloudflow smiled." But you…"
Before she could finish her sentence, there was a rush from the corridor outside the room. The sound of hurried footsteps was heard. The next moment, the dilapidated door was pushed open.
"Father, is there a guest?" A crisp voice sounded. Cloudflow turned around and saw a child in his teens. He had messy long hair, a delicate face, and eyebrows. There was a warm smile in his eyes, very much like Qi You.
"You saw it." Seven By smiled at Cloudflow.
He was married before, but the child's mother died of illness a few years ago due to her weak body. It was only then that Qi You began to study medicine.
Cloudflow looked at the child carefully. He did not give off a very comfortable feeling. It was as if there was an evil force hidden deep within his body, not his blood or flesh. It came from a highly mysterious soul that he could not detect. However, the innocent smile on the child's face could not be faked, so he smiled and waved at the child.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"My name is Ai Chuan. Are you here to comb your hair?" Ai Chuan ran over happily.
"Yes, my name is Cloudflow. Cloudflow blinked and said jokingly," I agree to this matter. Please make me some game that suits my taste."”
"Yes!"
