#2067 - Sacrifice to the Dragon King of the Well (Part 2)
Moreover, he was the Emperor.
His beautiful wife and their Crown Prince were waiting for his return...
Little did he expect that this journey would lead to his eternal departure.
Memories of the past flooded his mind.
Zhao Er said, "Dragon King, can you save me and restore me to life?"
Longjing refused without even thinking, "That's impossible."
As a Well Dragon King, his greatest ability was to ensure the nearby mortals had water to drink.
He couldn't possibly bring someone back to life.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Court of the Primordial World had laws stating that a Well Dragon King's responsibilities were limited to this.
If he interfered with the affairs of the Underworld, and Black and White Impermanence or Ox-Head and Horse-Face came looking for him,
he might end up being reincarnated himself...
A reclusive dragon was also afraid of death!
Hearing Longjing's words, Zhao Er couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.
At this moment, he looked at Qin Buyi and said, "This esteemed sir, can you save me and restore me to life?"
Qin Buyi smiled and said, "This is a simple matter, nothing more than a casual gesture for me."
Hearing this, Longjing quickly approached him and whispered, "Fellow Daoist Qin, even with your profound cultivation, don't casually interfere with the affairs of the Underworld. You could easily put yourself in danger!"
These words were filled with deep concern.
As far as Longjing was concerned, he didn't want his good friend to lose his life for the sake of a mortal.
This could be seen as selfish, but everyone for themselves, or heaven and earth will punish them.
He had a deep friendship with Qin Buyi after so many years of companionship, and he would never sit idly by and watch Qin Buyi bring disaster upon himself.
He, Longjing, had feelings!
Qin Buyi smiled faintly at Longjing's concern.
This little dragon, despite his low cultivation, was very loyal when it came to friends.
With his current status, even Yama of the Underworld would avoid him in the Primordial World...
Doing such a small thing would definitely not cause the other party to come knocking, unless they were looking for trouble.
However, he couldn't say these words out loud.
He followed Longjing's words and said, "Indeed, one shouldn't look for trouble."
Zhao Er, who had just seen a glimmer of hope, watched as that hope was extinguished in the blink of an eye, and couldn't help but feel lost.
"It seems I am destined to die..."
Qin Buyi said, "Don't be so pessimistic, someone will come to save you."
One sentence reignited Zhao Er's hope, and he looked at Qin Buyi and asked, "Immortal, when will that be?"
Qin Buyi said, "In a few years."
He didn't give Zhao Er a specific date, mainly because he had already lived here for a few years.
Now that Zhao Er had just been thrown into the well, historically, Jin Chanzi and the others didn't arrive here until several years after Zhao Er was thrown into the well.
Zhao Er very wisely didn't ask for a specific date.
He now had hope, and he didn't care if it was a few years, as long as he could be restored to life.
There was a saying that Zhao Er understood very well in his heart, and that was that the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed!
Many times, knowing too much would only bring unnecessary trouble upon oneself.
Longjing whispered to Qin Buyi, "Fellow Daoist Qin, this matter cannot be spoken of!"
"Even a sage's prediction of the future isn't that accurate. What if no one comes to take care of him in a few years? Wouldn't that be a great disappointment to him."
This was also out of good intentions. After all, giving someone hope for something that couldn't be done was a bit cruel.
Qin Buyi smiled and said, "We'll see in a few years."
In the blink of an eye, another three years had passed...
During these three years, Zhao Er had been living in anticipation.
Then, every day, he watched Qin Buyi and Longjing play chess, drink tea, and so on.
Of course, he wasn't idle either. Following the existence of someone like Qin Buyi, a casual pointer was enough.
At this time, Zhao Er's soul had already advanced to a divine soul, and his cultivation had even reached the Integration Realm.
It could be said that whether he was resurrected or not made no difference to him.
He could already find a new body or be reincarnated with his memories again.
However, thinking of his wife and children, he was still reluctant in his heart and kept waiting for the opportunity to be resurrected.
He had once wanted to borrow a corpse to revive, but his corpse had been imprisoned by some means.
Even if his divine soul entered it, it couldn't move it in the slightest.
"Zhao Er, this is tea that Fellow Daoist Qin brought back from the outside. It has an extremely fragrant taste. Come and taste it."
Faced with Longjing's greeting, Zhao Er cautiously took the teacup, took a sip, and exclaimed, "Good tea!"
He was very clear about his position among the three of them.
Don't look at him as an Emperor in the mortal world, but in front of immortals, he was not worth mentioning at all!
Only a fool would put on airs...
Longjing had seen many new things from Qin Buyi that he had never seen before.
As a reclusive dragon, it was certain that he lacked knowledge.
When Zhao Er was full of freshness, wasn't he the same?
"Fellow Daoist Qin, the outside world is full of strange and wonderful things, there are too many things. In comparison, I have nothing here."
Qin Buyi smiled and said, "One day in the future, as long as you are willing to leave, you can also see the outside world."
Longjing said, "The duty of the Well Dragon King is not to leave his territory. No matter how big the outside world is, I can only see this mortal country."
After so many years of getting along with Qin Buyi, his social phobia had been basically cured.
Now he was more yearning for the outside world.
As he spoke, Longjing suddenly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about these things."
"Those mortals are really hateful. After throwing Zhao Er down, they actually sealed my well!"
"If it weren't for the rules, I would have pushed away the big stones blocking the well..."
He didn't think about retaliating against the mortals. Being a Well Dragon King wasn't that easy.
If he really retaliated against the mortals, he would definitely suffer the consequences!
After muttering for a while, Longjing looked at Zhao Er and said, "Zhao Er, as a dignified Emperor, who pushed you into the well?"
Faced with the question, Zhao Er had a look of unbearable past events and said, "It was my sworn brother, also the National Teacher."
"I met him a few years ago, but I didn't expect him to treat me like this. It's really hard to know a person's heart even when you see their face..."
Hearing what Zhao Er said, Longjing couldn't help but say, "Then you are really pitiful."
"Fortunately, I met Fellow Daoist Qin. If I had met a sworn brother as坑 as you, I would have been凉凉 too."
Qin Buyi smiled wryly on the side. These words were clearly praising him, but why did they sound so wrong.
Just as the thoughts in his mind were constantly churning, Longjing looked at him and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, several years have passed, and Zhao Er hasn't been resurrected yet."
"In my opinion, it's better to just let him continue to cultivate like this. In the future, he can find a place to reincarnate quietly without anyone knowing, wouldn't that be another good man!"
Regarding what Qin Buyi said at the beginning, Longjing had only taken it as words of comfort as Zhao Er's cultivation continued to improve over the years.
