Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 44: Dragon

"Three years ago, you became a spiritual master?" Hua Hu and the others were stunned, not knowing what he was talking about.

Su Yun handed over the money, and the old soldier took it, giving them five jade pieces. Four of them were half pieces. He said, "Wait here for four hours."

The jade pieces were polished brightly, but Su Yun didn't know how to use them. He looked at the jade piece and saw his own appearance on it. He quickly whispered to Hua Hu.

Hua Hu woke up from his shock and quickly looked at the jade piece, seeing his own appearance on it too.

Several old soldiers guarding the post glanced at them, very surprised. They whispered, "It's almost the New Year, and these country bumpkins are entering the city for the first time. They don't even know they're being sold..."

The post was warm, and Su Yun helped the little kids warm their hands while showing them his spiritual abilities.

Qing Qiuyue, Li Xiaofan, and Hu Buping's small hands quickly warmed up, and their faces turned red. The three little kids climbed onto his big yellow bell and looked at it from all angles.

Su Yun guessed, "I think it may be the effect of the Old Scripture that Mr. Wild Fox taught us. Although he didn't teach us any exercises, he taught us to read, but the Old Scripture still influenced us unconsciously. That's why I was able to visualize and achieve spiritual abilities three years ago."

Hua Hu pondered, "Before, you only had spiritual abilities, but no way to use them. Mr. Water Mirror taught you the Honglu Shifting Qi Chapter, which gave you a way to use them."

Su Yun nodded.

He was lucky to have met two teachers who had a deep influence on him. One taught him how to learn, and the other taught him how to use.

"Second Brother, you have been studying under Mr. Wild Fox for longer than me, and you may have your own spiritual abilities unconsciously."

Su Yun said, "You know more about the Old Scripture than I do."

Hua Hu shook his head, "Every time we took the exam under Mr. Wild Fox, you always came first, and I could only rank second. I don't have your talent, so I definitely don't have spiritual abilities. I just like to recite books in my dreams."

He glanced at Su Yun, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "Little Yun, I have always been worried about you."

Su Yun looked puzzled.

Hua Hu hesitated for a moment and continued, "We are worried that after you regain your sight and see the truth of Tianmen Town and the residents of the wasteland, you will collapse. I'm also afraid that you will feel isolated because you are human and we are demons. I'm also afraid that you will feel lonely because of this..."

Su Yun smiled, "Second Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? You guys are my classmates. How could I feel lonely and isolated?"

He looked at the snow-capped mountains outside the post, his face calm, "There was a moment when I was indeed a little scared. I thought that I was the only human, and I felt a bit lonely. But when I saw you guys, I felt relieved. You guys are my classmates, my classmates who have been studying together in the same school for many years!"He stood up, revealing a smile: "Classmate, besides parents and relatives, the person who has been with you the longest! I've figured it out, whether you're human or demon, fox spirit or ghost, what difference does it make?"

Hua Hu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the old soldiers, whispering, "Xiaoyun, do you think they're human or demon?"

Su Yun looked at the old soldiers and shook his head. He couldn't guess.

A rumbling sound came from outside, and the earth trembled slightly. A loud dragon roar shook the windows.

Su Yun hurriedly leaned over the window to look, and saw a dragon-headed monster with a long body climbing up the official road on the distant snow mountain at a rapid speed!

The speed of the dragon-headed monster was astonishing. It was slowing down as it approached, but it was still very fast.

On the long body of the monster, there were rows of wooden buildings, swaying with the monster's body. And in the windows of those wooden buildings, you could see faces looking out!

In every room of the wooden buildings on the monster's body, there were many people!

"The Land Candle Dragon has arrived!" The old soldiers who were roasting fire stood up one after another.

Hua Hu, who was shorter, stood on tiptoe at the window and looked outside. Hu Buping and the other two jumped around behind him, trying to see the so-called Land Candle Dragon.

An old soldier said to Su Yun and the others, "You can go out now. Wait for the people to come down before going up."

Before Su Yun could go out, Li Xiaofan, Hu Buping, and Qing Qiuyue had already rushed out ahead of him, while Hua Hu walked more reservedly behind.

Only to see Li Xiaofan, Hu Buping, and Qing Qiuyue standing outside, their bodies tense, their chests straight, their small fists clenched nervously, and they looked up and made a wow sound.

"Looks like they've never seen anything before..."

Hua Hu was a little disdainful, but when he looked up at the Land Candle Dragon, which had not yet stopped, he immediately became nervous, straightening his body, clenching his fists, and widening his eyes, involuntarily making a wow sound of amazement.

The surface of the Land Candle Dragon's body was covered with scales that looked like brass, polished to a shine. The long dragon breath was like a gust of wind blowing to the sides, almost blowing off the hats of the little ones.

Hua Hu and the three little ones hurriedly reached out to hold their hats on their heads.

Su Yun came out and saw that the wooden buildings on the back of the Land Candle Dragon were pierced into its thick scales with steel, so they swayed rhythmically with the Land Candle Dragon's body.

When the Land Candle Dragon slowed down, the swaying rhythm also slowed down. Some of the wooden buildings had one floor, and some had two floors. The second floor was often an octagonal pavilion, with a man and a woman on guard inside.

The Land Candle Dragon's dragon claws were also unusually thick and strong. When they fell on the mountain rocks of the official road, sparks flew.

What was even more peculiar was that the Land Candle Dragon had hundreds of legs, all of which were legs when looked at from a distance, and they lifted and fell in a rhythmic manner, constantly moving forward!

Su Yun also couldn't help but widen his eyes, staring blankly at this huge creature.The Candle Dragon on land spewed out long streams of air from its mouth and nose, emitting a low and melodious roar that, although low, was deafening and made people's chests resonate!

The air it spewed out met with the cold air, instantly turning into long white smoke, which drifted around like clouds.

Su Yun was about to take a closer look when suddenly, the long whiskers of the Candle Dragon on land floated along its body, shaking in the mist and exuding a great sense of beauty.

This was a creature that Su Yun and the others had never seen before. It was two to three miles long, had eighty small wooden houses on its back, could carry several hundred people, and had a load capacity of twenty million catties. It could cross mountains and valleys as if walking on flat ground!

At the relay station, two old soldiers ran forward, one on the left side of the official road and the other on the right side, chasing after the Candle Dragon and suddenly grabbing its two whiskers, pulling with all their might.

The speed of the Candle Dragon on land became slower and slower, and finally came to a stop.

The two old soldiers tied the long whiskers to the pillar of the relay station, each breathing a sigh of relief.

Another old soldier climbed up to the water tower next to the relay station and dropped a water pipe made of some kind of monster's intestine. The other old soldier hurriedly dragged the water pipe and sprayed water on the Candle Dragon's claws.

Due to the long journey, the Candle Dragon on land's claws rubbed against the ground, like a red-hot branding iron, and made a sizzling sound when water was sprayed on them. The cold water was directly evaporated, turning into a thick mist.

On the other side, another old soldier ran to the warehouse and pushed open the heavy door, dragging out several cow carcasses and throwing them in front of the Candle Dragon on land.

The Candle Dragon on land began to eat, gobbling up one cow carcass after another, with an amazing appetite.

The relay station old soldiers who tied the whiskers then brought big water buckets and placed them on the road. When the Dragon's claws cooled down, they poured water into the buckets and let the Candle Dragon on land drink.

Su Yun and the four kids were amazed.

At this time, the door on the back of the Candle Dragon opened, and rope ladders were thrown down one by one. Someone in the room shouted, "We have arrived at Tian Shi Yuan! We have arrived at Tian Shi Yuan! Get off the car quickly!"

Su Yun thought to himself, "The car pulled by the Candle Dragon on land is different from the one pulled by cattle and horses. The carriages are placed behind the cattle and horses, but the carriages are placed on the body of the Candle Dragon on land."

Just as he was thinking, several young men and women in one of the rooms climbed down the rope ladder.

These young men and women were wearing thick clothes, with white fur sticking out from their collars, and carrying heavy bags on their backs. They should be young people returning from the city to their hometowns, back after a long absence, stretching their bodies, sniffing the air greedily and breathing in the cool air.

On the back of the Candle Dragon on land, someone urged Su Yun and his group to get on the carriage, saying, "It's cold outside, and we can't keep the door open all the time. Hurry up and get on!"

Su Yun grabbed the rope ladder and climbed up, with the three little fox demons following behind, and Hua Hu at the back.

Su Yun boarded the carriage, turned around and leaned over, and reached out his hand to lift up the four fox demons one by one.He was about to close the door when a young man who had just gotten off the train laughed and said, "Finally back home! I can't hold it in any longer!"

Su Yun looked over and saw the young man throw down his baggage and quickly take off his clothes, running into the snow naked.

Hoo...

A big white wolf jumped out of the snow and rolled around in it before leaping up and running away.

Su Yun was stunned, but the others in the carriage and the old soldier at the station were unfazed. The soldier urged, "Hurry up and get in, we're about to leave! Hurry up!"

Su Yun rushed inside and closed the door.

After the Land Wugong had eaten and drunk its fill, it opened its eyes, shook its head, breathed out a breath of air, and let out a loud, long cry.

The giant creature slowly walked out of the Tian Shi Yuan station, causing the ground to tremble slightly. Passengers in the rows of houses on the Wugong's back quickly sat down to steady themselves.

Hu Buping waved excitedly at Su Yun and called out, "Over here, over here!"

They sat by a window and could see the scenery outside through it.

Su Yun walked over, swaying with the moving Wugong, and looked out the window. He saw that the young people who had returned home were nowhere to be seen in front of the station, leaving only their clothes and baggage behind.

Meanwhile, on the mountain behind the station, several white wolves were running around joyfully.

Several wolves ran to the mountaintop and stood there howling in the wind. The cold wind blew their fur, making it flutter in the wind.

Roar...

The loud sound resonated with the long chant of the Wugong, reaching Su Yun's ears and giving him a sense of anticipation and sadness.

These young Tian Shi Yuan demon clan members who worked in the city all year round finally returned to their hometown and let loose, revealing their true selves in the Tian Shi Yuan no man's land. They roared and shouted to express their suppressed selves over the past year.

And now, Su Yun had also left his hometown and was heading to the city.

He sat down, his eyes slightly moist, looking at the continuous snow-capped mountains outside the window, and the song of Qu Bo Cang Liao echoed in his ears.

He looked out the window, his fingers clasping the table, humming softly in the old Shuo Fang style.

The snow was vast outside, with graves everywhere. In the cold winter of Tian Shi Yuan this year, there was not a single hero or brave person to be found, only the graves of heroes and brave people. There was also a young man from the no man's land riding on the Wugong, rushing from the village to the city.
