Chapter 743: Chapter 743 Dragon King Temple_1

After shaking your head fiercely, you stood up and walked towards Ruan Yuling, who was standing at the doorway.

At this moment, you suddenly felt some regret, even fear. For some unknown reason, it seemed like there was a strange transformation happening to your body. Even just by looking at Ruan Yuling’s enchanting silhouette, your body could muster the most primitive urge, and the voice in your head grew increasingly feverish, even disturbing your logical thinking.

"I’m going to get my backpack from the car."

Bypassing Ruan Yuling, you headed straight toward her Volkswagen Passat.

You plunged into the back seat, slammed the car door shut, then hurriedly took out a piece of brown talisman paper from your pocket. You bit your finger, drawing blood to quickly sketch a talisman onto the paper.

"Heart Clarity Spell!"

The spell’s power spread quickly through your body, a cold breath swiftly enveloping you and dispelling all the fanciful thoughts in your brain.

After a while, you exhaled a long breath and slowly opened your eyes.

The moment you opened your eyes, you saw Ruan Yuling sitting in the passenger seat in front, looking at you with interest. Her attractive lips curved up slightly, wearing a mischievous smile.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Speaking of it, you suddenly felt a bit afraid to meet her gaze. As soon as you did, there was a feeling inside you that seemed ready to ignite.

"Don’t you know, brother? Elder sister has been watching you for almost half an hour now."

"Why watch me? I’m neither a handsome guy nor a pretty boy."

Without giving Ruan Yuling a chance to respond, you pushed the car door open and stepped out.

Ruan Yuling wasn’t annoyed and still followed beside you with a smile on her face.

She wasn’t carrying any luggage, just a denim bag that many girls carry when they go out, while you shouldered a massive mountaineering bag. After all, being a big man, you couldn’t really expect her, a delicate heiress, to turn into someone burly like Xian Qianling.

Actually, no matter how you looked at it, you two didn’t seem to belong on the same path, but now you were strangely brought together, naturally attracting a lot of attention on the road.

Especially Ruan Yuling, whose appearance could draw the attention of everyone in the crowd anytime, anywhere.

"Brother Yun, the way those three people were looking at us just now was so scary. They seemed as if they wanted to devour me."

Ruan Yuling weakly leaned close to you, whispering softly in your ear with a fragrant breeze.

Prepared, you steeled your heart, took off your hat, and placed it directly on Ruan Yuling’s head, pulling down the brim to immediately cover half of her face.

"It should be better this way."

This tourist area wasn’t actually very big. Many tour groups would pass by casually. After a round, most would leave for another sight. Thus, by two o’clock in the afternoon, there were far fewer elders carrying little flags.

As the tour groups left, the area became relatively quieter.

There were still some tourists lingering around; most were families, and of course, there were also some couples. Most of these people would stay in the newly built inns of Dragon King Village to experience the night atmosphere of the mountain village. The couples would naturally seek to create an impassioned night to remember in the future.

You first visited the Dragon King Temple.

As Ruan Yuling said before, Dragon King Temple wasn’t big, but it had its unique features.

Because aside from the archway at the entrance of the temple, the rest was all carved from stone.

This temple had no doors, that is, if you count the archway as one.

Passing through the archway was a small square where a huge incense burner had been placed, covered in dense sticks of incense. On either side of the incense burner were two stone carvings of mythical creatures.

On the left looked to be a gigantic tortoise, but it had a dragon’s head, and its tail was very long. You were more than familiar with this creature, its true name was Bixi, one of the nine sons of the dragon and also known as Domination; it represented the strongest defensive technique within the Myriad Manifestation Eye Technique.

On the right was an even stranger beast, also with a dragon’s head and tail, yet it had the body of a fish.

Ruan Yuling reached out to point precisely at the creature on the right and asked you, "Brother Yun, what is this creature’s name?"

"It’s called Chiwen, one of the nine sons of the dragon, the youngest of them."

"One Bixi, one Chiwen, this Dragon King Temple really is somewhat unique. They actually brought creatures used for guarding houses and carved on the eaves of the Imperial Palace into the square."

You glanced at Ruan Yuling with slight surprise, not expecting that she would know the origins of Bixi and Chiwen.

Across the square was a massive cave, wide open, similar to a quarter of a circle, but not deep. Carved right in the center of the stone wall in the cave was a towering four-meter-high Dragon King statue. The statue and the rock wall were seamlessly connected without a single gap; the craftsmanship alone was enough to astonish.

On the left side of the Dragon King statue was a smooth stone mural, and at that moment, many people were standing in front of it, watching.

Curious, you and Ruan Yuling walked over as well.

"There’s nothing on this stone mural; what are they looking at?" Ruan Yuling turned to ask you.

With a casual scan through the Sen Luo Eye, you laughed, "There’s a painting and some poetry phrases on that stone mural."

"Eh? Really? Why can’t I see them?" Ruan Yuling stared intently for more than a dozen seconds, still unable to see the painting and poetry you mentioned.

Just as you were about to speak, a young woman in work clothes stepped onto a man-made platform beside the mural. She held a microphone in her hand and addressed the crowd, "Everyone has been observing for a while, have you discovered the painting and poetry phrases on this wall?"

"No!"

The crowd responded in unison.

The young woman gave a light smile, "Now, let me show you a landscape painting with flowers and birds created by a high monk over four hundred years ago."

With that, she took a watering can from beside the platform and poured water over the wall.

A magical thing happened.

Once the wall was soaked with water, a meticulously crafted landscape painting with flowers and birds appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Amidst cries of amazement from the crowd, you furrowed your brows slightly.

The world portrayed in this landscape painting was very clean and clear, with overlapping mountains and rivers obscured by mist, truly a celestial realm within the mortal world.

Next to the mountains and rivers in the painting were several lines of writing, profound and flowing with the handwriting of a master—

The vast, vague ink splashes heavenward, drifting and remote through misty rains.

The lush green mountains obscure the temple, quietly enshrouded are the stones within.

Together, fallen for a thousand years, back and forth, the ferryboats at the river’s bend.

One step after another, infinite worries, life after life, emptiness is all we ponder.

While the people around you exclaimed and sighed with emotion, your brows grew ever tighter.

Ruan Yuling noticed your unusual expression and couldn’t help asking softly, "Brother Yun, what’s wrong?"
