Prison Dragon

Chapter 145

Yang You wrote the first word on the ground - capital.

"You can only move around in the capital, and your body is in the lake," he pointed to the calm deep lake in front of him, "so the formation should also be in the capital."

"So the next thing we have to do is to check all the special places in the capital." Yang You clicked a few dots on the ground, "These places must be related to Gaozu, and the time is very long, and they are very special."

Gaozu Mausoleum, Thanksgiving Temple, Lake and the secret room under Xuanzheng Hall.

Yang You wrote on the ground, so far he only knows these four locations.

They once went to the Thanksgiving Temple and found the last confession and kindness of the great ancestor Yang Shuo there. Yang You asked, "Did you find any abnormalities in the Thanksgiving Temple?"

Ao Chen shook his head, "There is a formation there, but it is different from it."

Ao Chen pointed at his feet, "The purpose of the formation in the Thanksgiving Temple is to purify people's hearts and dispel demons. The so-called strictness of Buddhism and the pure land on earth are all blessed by formations."

Yang You felt that the Thanksgiving Temple should have other secrets, but the most important thing at the moment was to figure out the riddle on Ao Chen, so he temporarily let the Thanksgiving Temple go and crossed it out.

"As for the Emperor Gaozu's Mausoleum, your father took out that amber from it, and Wu Yizhi also said that there is a secret for the future restoration of the country hidden in it."

Ao Chen sneered, "My senses are cut off there, and the imperial mausoleum is too far away, so I can't go there."

Yang You nodded slightly, "Then I'll go another day, let's take a look here first."

He stood up and walked into the temple, but Ao Chen sat where he was and didn't follow.

Yang You turned around and waved at him, "Aren't you coming?"

"It's not necessary," Ao Chen said lightly, "I've been here for so many years, I would have discovered it long ago."

"Maybe you missed it," Yang You said, "or there are some things that only I can see?"

Ao Chen didn't move, "Then go find it."

No one would be stupid enough to put the eyes of the array in front of Ao Chen, so that he could dismantle it violently.

What's more, the temple here was sealed up very early, and it hasn't been used a few times, so it is estimated that there is no information left.

Yang You waited for him for a while, seeing that he really didn't want to move, so he went up and down the temple to search around.

He also knew in his heart that there was little hope, because this was a place he had cleaned many times, and since he hadn't found it before, he couldn't find it now either.

However, he still searched carefully, refusing to let go of every inch of land.

Half an hour later, Yang You returned without success.

Ao Chen sat quietly by the lake, holding a handful of pine needles in his hand. He boredly inserted the pine needles into the soil one by one, causing his hair and clothes to hang down to the ground.

"I said it's useless, right?" Ao Chen raised his head and said, a ray of sunshine passing through the lake surface suddenly shone on his face, and he narrowed his eyes, with handsome and straight eyebrows, a strand of hair sticking to his mouth side.

Yang You stared at him for a long time, and finally said: "Take me to the bottom of the lake, can you?"

Ao Chen's eyebrows moved, but he didn't reply right away.

Yang You squatted in front of him and asked, "Before, I mean, when you left the capital for the first time ten years ago, didn't you bring me here once?"

It was also the first time Yang You saw Ao Chen's real body in the many years he had known him.

"Do you not like others entering that palace to see you?" Yang You asked in a low voice, touching his face.

Ao Chen kissed the corner of his mouth, "I really don't like it."

So never let people in.

He also remembered the scene back then, and somehow took Yang You there.

He also wanted to know what he thought at the beginning.

"Why?" Yang You pressed his forehead against his.

"No reason, it's just intuition." Ao Chen pulled him to stand up, "Many animals don't know how to get in touch with people, even tigers, leopards and wolves don't take the initiative to invite humans, this is intuition."

Intuition tells them that people are troublesome, dangerous, and even deadly.

"But aren't you a dragon, you are a god, why do you avoid people?"

Ao Chen didn't answer, but touched his earlobe, "Don't you want to go into the water? Let's go."

"Wait." Yang You regained his senses and nodded, took off his coat and put it by the lake, "Let's go."

Ao Chen took out a handkerchief from his clothes and folded it up to cover his eyes, "The water is too deep, don't be afraid, I'll take you there."

"Okay." Yang You stepped forward and hugged Ao Chen.

Ao Chen hugged him from behind with one hand, and took his knee from below with the other hand, picked up Yang You, and walked towards the water step by step.

The water was very cold, for a moment Yang You couldn't tell whether it was Ao Chen's body temperature or the water was colder, he couldn't help shivering.

Ao Chen comfortingly kissed his forehead continuously, and walked slowly, letting Yang You gradually adapt to the water temperature.

"Going into the water."

Ao Chen reminded.

The water had already covered Yang You's neck, Yang You subconsciously took a deep breath, and then held his mouth and nose.

Ao Chen leaped forward and took Yang You into the water.

At the moment when it was about to sink completely, Yang You's lips were opened by Ao Chen's lips and teeth, and Ao Chen kept breathing towards him.

Yang You couldn't see at all, his whole body was tense, the fear of the dark waters made his heart jump to the extreme in an instant, he could only hug Ao Chen's neck tightly, relying on his lips to survive the boundless darkness .

Ao Chen took him all the way downstream until he stood at the gate of the underwater palace. He landed gently on the bottom of the water and walked into the gate with Yang You in his arms.

He tore off the cloth covering Yang You's eyes with his teeth, and Yang You started to breathe slowly after getting his signal.

Ao Chen put Yang You down, and Yang You was dripping wet all over.

Seeing this palace again, Yang You still marveled at its magnificence.

The top of the pillars of the main hall can only be seen by looking up, and even the zenith is plunged into darkness that cannot be seen from a distance, and the water in the lake is blocked by the gate of the palace.

In the colorful relief directly opposite, a black dragon soars in the sea of ​​clouds.

Yang You walked over and looked at it carefully. He couldn't understand the craftsmanship of the relief, but he could smell the faint smell of tung oil.In any case, the manpower and material resources required for this huge relief are by no means unusual.

He raised his hand to touch the dragon's claw, and his palm was only as big as the tip of the dragon's claw.

Yang You asked, "Why is such a large project not recorded in the history books?"

Ao Chen lazily said: "Who knows, can all history books be trusted? As long as you don't write it down, many things will be forgotten in decades."

Yang You nodded, "You are right."

"Is there a light?" Yang You turned to ask him, "It's too dark."

Ao Chen stretched out his fingertips, and a blue flame ignited at his fingertips. Looking carefully, the inside of the flame turned out to be pure black. He took a breath, and the flames spread out, turning into countless tiny fireflies surrounding Yang You's surroundings were flying up and down like fireflies on a summer night.

Yang You was surrounded by fireflies, and became the light source here, and it was lit wherever he went.

Ao Chen led him through a long corridor. Yang You saw colorful murals on the wall of the corridor through the blue light. The last battle of his unification career - the battle of Hexi.

After Hexi, the world bowed its head.

The only difference between the paintings on both sides is that Yang You’s scroll on the left has one person missing, while the scroll on the right has one more person.

It was a man dressed in black, who often stood with Gao Zu Yang Shuo and Han Wang Yang Yan in the murals on the right.

Yang You tried to decipher the hidden meaning of this. The left side is the scene in the world, while the right side is the scene in the eyes of those who can see Ao Chen.

Passing through the long corridor, Yang You's breathing was slightly stagnant. The huge body of the real dragon was displayed in the room, quietly showing its majestic power.

Deeper than the darkness beyond the reach of light is Ao Chen's black dragon scales, covering his field of vision endlessly.

Yang You once again experienced that kind of shock that cannot be described in words.

Ao Chen walked over and touched his earlobe, took his hand and said, "Come with me."

He pulled Yang You and stepped on the dragon's tail.

Yang You said hesitantly: "Is it okay? Isn't this your body?"

Ao Chen smiled, "You're just like an ant, what's the problem?"

He pulled Yang You from the dragon's tail to the dragon's back step by step, walking on the side of the dorsal fin, the black scales were very smooth, Yang You had to carefully stare at his feet, and held Ao Chen's hand tightly, "Go slowly."

Ao Chen took a few steps and stopped for a while, and led him all the way to the center of the hall, "Look over there."

Hearing this, Yang You raised his head, the caisson was a bronze faucet, surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds, I don't know what kind of paint was used, each cloud reflected colorful light spots.

After 800 years, the caisson still maintains the original golden color of the bronze. Time here seems to have stopped flowing, the murals have not faded, and the metal has not rusted.

Everything is as it was 800 years ago, just sleeping peacefully at the bottom of the lake, waiting for the awakening that may never come.

They followed the dragon's huge body all the way to the dragon's head, and Yang You stepped on Ao Chen's forehead directly.

He couldn't help but jumped a few steps on it, and almost slipped down, but was pulled back to stand still by Ao Chen's arms.

"What are you dancing?" Ao Chen asked coldly.

"I don't like you, so I will step on your forehead." Yang You replied with staring eyes.

Ao Chen snorted and sat on the dragon's head.

Yang You looked around curiously, and raised his hand to touch the dragon's horn. The dragon's horn is not smooth, but has fine fluff. He sat next to Ao Chen, touched the mane at his feet, and it felt soft. smooth.

"I said nothing, you still come to see it." Ao Chen complained from the side.

Yang You looked around, there was a piece of relief at every other section of the wall, but they were all kinds of dragons, and there was no other information.

The whole palace is very huge, but the structure is extremely simple, the front hall - the long corridor - the apse of the dragon.

Yang You sighed regretfully, tilted his head and leaned on the dragon's horn, "Why is there no clue?"

Ao Chen obviously didn't understand his tangled emotions, licked his lips, hooked Yang You's belt with his fingers and kept pulling it out.

"Don't make trouble!" Yang You clamped his arm that was trying to move.

Ao Chen sighed and said: "Your Majesty takes care of all kinds of opportunities, leaving the courtiers and concubines alone to guard the empty room..."

"..." Yang You sighed helplessly, "You, I..."

Ao Chen laughed, grabbed his clothes and pulled Yang You into his arms, then pushed him down to lie down, straddled his legs, and pressed him on Yang You.

Yang You was lying face down, with the cold dragon scales on his face, his clothes were still dripping, he couldn't help turning his head and scolding Ao Chen gently, "Can you go back and..."

Ao Chen lowered his head, his long hair scattered, in the blue fluorescent light, he saw Ao Chen's pupils slowly elongated from round to vertical pupils like cat's eyes.

Ao Chen looked at him quietly, lowered his head and licked his eyelids, "Huh?"

Yang You sighed as if accepting his fate, "I really can't cure you anywhere..."

Fluorescence scattered, drifting with Yang You's floating, and flew to the murals on the roof, falling with glorious clouds, like a river of stars flowing at night.
