Chapter 627: If You’re Willing to Listen, Then I Shall Speak
“According to past experience,” the elder said, “if a true dragon hasn’t appeared several days after the start of spring, then it definitely won’t show up at all. Most of the recluses on the mountain have already left. Why do you still refuse to go?”
He looked at Song You, puzzled.
“I’m not like those mountain recluses,” Song You replied honestly. “They live here and can return every year. I, on the other hand, have come from thousands of li away, and this may be the only time in my life that I can come to this place. If I leave without seeing the true dragon, I may never have another chance to witness its majesty. Naturally, I’m not willing to leave so easily.”
“That’s true,” the old man nodded, then smiled. “You certainly have a strong attachment to this.”
“We roaming Daoists travel the world,” Song You said, “and we love seeing the wonders and marvels of heaven and earth. If true dragons really exist in this world, of course I want to witness one with my own eyes.”
He paused briefly, then added, “Besides, many years ago, my sect’s founder claimed that true dragons had already vanished from the world. I want to find out whether that’s really the case. If not, I’ll need to revise the texts once I return.”
“I see.”
“What’s more,” Song You continued, “there have been rumors of a true dragon in the south of Yunzhou for more than a decade, and we’ve heard about them since back then. I’ve thought about this day for over ten years. How could I give up so easily now?”
He looked at the old man. “And besides, haven’t you also stayed?”
“This place, whether there’s a true dragon or not, is rich in spiritual energy and mystical resonance, and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. Cultivating while facing the sea of clouds is a blessing in itself.”
“That’s exactly how I see it.”
“Haha! Then allow me to offer you a toast, Daoist!”
