Golden Summoner

Xia Ping'an was thinking while wandering around Xiangyang City.

Why are so few people able to successfully fuse this world bead?

It's very simple, because the person who has integrated this world bead has no idea what he is here to do.

Just now in the tavern, when I heard the news of the Yiling victory, perhaps the first reaction of those who fused this world pearl was that this might be some "important clue", and then they plunged into the oven of history, thinking of ways I want to get to know historical figures like Lu Xun and take a chance on my future.

The final result, of course, is that it is impossible to get even one.

"Do you know where there is a dog seller?" Xia Pingan asked the boy who was following him as he walked.

"Master, do you want to get a dog?" The boy was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said smartly, "If you want to buy a dog, there is one over there in Dongshi!"

"Okay, let's go to Dongshi and have a look..."

Before the two of them had gone far, Xia Pingan saw several children pointing at the river and shouting, "Look, look, there is a dog in the river..."

Xia Pingan walked to the river and looked into the river. Sure enough, he saw a dog in the river, floating down from the top of the river.

It was a black puppy, struggling in the river in fear and helplessness. It floated down from the upper reaches and fell into the river for some reason. Fortunately, the puppy was somewhat clever and held its two forelimbs tightly. A dry branch emerged from the water without completely sinking into the water.

The river outside Xiangyang City is not very wide, only seven or eight meters. The water is green and clear. When they saw a puppy in the river, the children pointed at it by the river.

As soon as Xia Pingan saw the black puppy, a clever idea came to his mind. Without thinking, he immediately rushed to the river, took off his shoes and the crimson gauze-printed round-neck straight-skirted robe, and threw it to the boy. Under the surprised looks of the boy and several passers-by around him, he immediately jumped into the water and swam quickly towards the black puppy.

"Is your young master crazy?" Several passers-by looked at the boy next to Xia Pingan and asked him.

They had never seen a person jump into a river to save a dog.

The boy was also anxious, fearing that something might happen to his young master. When he saw someone driving ducks not far away, he quickly went to borrow a bamboo pole from the duck driver.

The river water was not too fast. Xia Pingan swam to the black puppy, dragged the black puppy with one hand, lifted the puppy out of the water, and then quickly swam to the shore. I saw my boy running over with a pale face holding a bamboo pole.

"Master, you...you...you..." The boy's face turned pale with anxiety and he was out of breath when he spoke.

"Hahaha, it's okay. If you want a dog, come here. Get my clothes quickly!"

The boy quickly handed over Xia Pingan's clothes that he was holding, and then returned the bamboo pole to the duck driver.

Xia Pingan took his clothes, wiped the trembling little black dog first, wiped the water off the little black dog, and then put on his clothes again.

"Master, it's just for a dog, is that all?" The boy who found the opportunity whispered at this time.

"As for, that's great!" Xia Pingan laughed and nodded, "You don't understand, remember not to talk nonsense when you go back. This young master bought this dog in Dongshi today, do you know?"

"Oh, I got it!" The boy nodded. Seeing that Xia Pingan seemed to like the puppy very much, he followed Xia Pingan's words and said, "This dog was saved by the young master today. Why don't you give it to the young master?" Pick a name!”

"This is a black dog, and it comes from the water, so let's call it a black dragon!" Xia Pingan touched the head of the little black dog in his arms. The little black dog raised its head and said with a pitiful expression Looking at Xia Pingan, "Let's go home!"

Xia Pingan returned home happily with the little black dog.

Li Xinchun's home is in Jinan Town outside Xiangyang City. He has hundreds of acres of land and a cloth farm in the city. The young master Xia Ping'an actually leads a very comfortable life. He always takes a boy with him wherever he goes. Shopping around, drinking and meeting friends, collecting rent and checking accounts, it’s so relaxing.

As the young master of the family, Li Xinchun bought a dog. Naturally, the family would not say anything. As long as the young master likes it, it is not a problem to raise ten or eight dogs, let alone one dog.

When Xia Ping'an returned home, he immediately found a wooden box, cut a hole in the wooden box, put some hay, rags and cotton wool inside the wooden box, and made a warm and luxurious kennel for the black dragon. It was time for dinner , he also takes the dog with him, and gives the dog whatever he eats.

Li Xinchun's family and parents doted on Li Xinchun, so when they saw that Li Xinchun liked raising dogs, they didn't say anything, leaving Xia Ping'an to do the tossing.

That is to say, from today onwards, Xia Ping'an begins a happy life of "love between humans and dogs".

Every day, wherever Xia Ping'an goes, he takes the Black Dragon with him. Whatever he eats, the Black Dragon eats, he drinks, and the Black Dragon drinks. Share and eat…”

Seeing Hei Long's treatment by Xia Pingan's side, the boy who followed Xia Pingan burst into tears. If he dared to eat with Xia Pingan, but was seen by Butler Zhou, Butler Zhou could break his legs, and Hei Long ate with Xia Pingan. When Butler Zhou sees this thing, he always smiles and praises it, "This black dragon has become more and more clever after being raised by the young master..."

The black dragon has indeed been raised by Xia Pingan to become more and more clever and understanding of human nature.

Under Xia Ping'an's training, the black dragon would go outside and solve the problem by himself, never causing trouble to others.

When Xia Pingan was sleeping, the black dragon slept beside Xia Pingan's bed. No one else was allowed to approach him at will, not even mice. Xia Pingan went to check accounts and collect rent, drink and meet friends, and took the black dragon with him. Everyone around him said that the Li family The young master has a dog brother beside him.

The black dragon has been with Xia Pingan for more than a year. It has gradually matured, grown up, and become stronger. It is almost inseparable from Xia Pingan. It is also very understanding of human nature, as if it can understand human speech. Whatever Xia Pingan asks it to do, it It will do whatever it wants, it will sit when you tell it to sit, it will sleep when you tell it to sleep, it will stay wherever you tell it to stay...

Unknowingly, the time has arrived in the second autumn, the grass leaves have turned yellow, and the rabbits have become fatter. Since the victory of Governor Lu in Yiling last year, the lives of the people in Jiangdong have become more and more stable.

Due to the expansion of his family's cloth shop business, the boy who was following Xia Pingan was transferred to the cloth shop in the city by Butler Zhou a few days ago. On this day, the autumn weather was crisp and clear, and Xia Pingan received an invitation from a friend in Xiangyang City to let him have lunch at noon. Let's go have a drink and discuss hunting.

In the past two days, the prefect Zheng Xia went hunting with great fanfare. The young people who got the news were already agitated - the day of hunting had arrived.

For young people who are relatively well-off in this era, hunting is almost one of the most important things of the year.

Xia Pingan felt that this day had finally come.

Before going to the city, Xia Pingan called Heilong to his side and touched Heilong's head for several minutes, silently.

After raising the black dragon for more than a year, Xia Ping'an discovered that without knowing it, he had regarded the black dragon as his best friend, almost making him forget that he was in the World Pearl.

Xia Pingan suddenly felt reluctant.

"Black Dragon, Black Dragon, it's rare that you and I get to know each other. Today I'll let you make a choice. If you are willing to be a dog and die in obscurity and peace, you can stay at home today and don't go to the banquet with me. If you I want your name to last forever, so that people in future generations can remember you, and let everyone in future generations know that dogs also have loyalty, and there is a difference between good and evil. They can also accept death as home, and are no worse than humans. I will walk to the bridge, and you will follow me again. Attend the banquet!"

"Woof woof..."

The black dragon shook its tail and barked twice at Xia Pingan.

Xia Pingan went out directly.

After walking out of the Li family's yard and walking more than two hundred meters, we arrived outside the village. A river flowed quietly through the village, and there was just a stone bridge on the river.

Xia Pingan walked to the stone bridge and heard a voice coming from behind. He turned his head and found that the black dragon had chased him out.

At this moment, Xia Pingan's tears came down. He touched Heilong's head and took Heilong to the banquet.

During the banquet, Xia Ping'an got very drunk. On the way home, he became drunk and fell asleep in the grass on the roadside outside the city.

Not long after Xia Ping'an fell asleep in the grass, a group of people on horseback came from a distance. There were hundreds of people in the group, with bows and swords. They were majestic. The leader of the group was none other than the prefect Zheng Xia.

The prefect Zheng Xia saw that the grass was deep in the wilderness, and there might be a lot of prey in the grass, but there were no people there, so he asked the people around him to set fire to the wilderness and use fire to drive away the prey in the grass. After coming out, just after burning the wasteland, this field can still be cultivated next year.

The fire was ignited in the blink of an eye, and when the wind blew, the wildfire quickly expanded in this wilderness like a prairie fire.

In the grass where Xia Pingan fell asleep, looking at the approaching line of fire, the black dragon screamed anxiously. The black dragon tried to bite Xia Pingan's clothes and drag Xia Pingan out of the grass, but Xia Pingan was too heavy and fell asleep alone. A human being cannot be dragged by a dog.

In order to drag Xia Pingan away from the burning grass, Black Dragon dragged Xia Pingan until his mouth was full of blood, and his teeth were torn off Xia Pingan's clothes.

Black Dragon was so anxious that he kept licking Xia Pingan's face with his tongue, but Xia Pingan still couldn't wake up.

Looking at the approaching line of fire, the black dragon suddenly thought of something. It turned around and rushed towards a creek dozens of meters away, getting its body completely wet in the creek, and then carried its naked body with it. His body returned to Xia Pingan's side, and then he shook his body and sprinkled all the water droplets on Xia Pingan's body and the grass next to him.

Xia Pingan still didn't wake up.

The black dragon rushed into the creek not far away again, wet his body again, and rushed back again, constantly spraying water droplets from his body, making Xia Pingan's clothes and the surrounding hay wet.

The black dragon flew tirelessly beside Xia Pingan, running back and forth between Xiaoxi and Xia Pingan again and again, once, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times.

It seemed like light rain was falling around Xia Pingan.

…

The line of fire approaching Xia Ping'an encountered the wet grass more than ten meters away, and finally stopped, no longer approaching.

Seeing that the line of fire was not approaching, Black Dragon came to Xia Pingan for the last time, sprinkled the water on Xia Pingan's face, and finally licked Xia Pingan's face, shook his body twice, and finally insisted on walking to Xia Pingan. In the distance, he fell by the stream.

Black Dragon originally wanted to walk a little further, but he couldn't walk anymore, he was too tired...

…

At dawn, Xia Pingan was found and woken up by his servants. He opened his eyes and saw the wet grass stalks around him that were not burning. He also saw the black dragon lying by the stream in the distance. Tears suddenly fell from his eyes. .

Xia Pingan knew what happened.

"Master, it was the black dragon who saved you. The black dragon was exhausted yesterday. When we found the black dragon, only the hair on the black dragon's body and the grass on your body and the fire line were wet..." Housekeeper Zhou fell down. Tears, "Old people say that when a dog is about to die, if he doesn't want his owner to see him dying, he will go to a place where the owner can't see him and then die. Master, the black dragon you raised is a righteous dog who sacrificed his life to save the savior. , even when I die, I want to go farther away before dying, because I am afraid that you will be sad, young master!"

…

The deeds of the righteous dog Black Dragon as the savior caused a sensation throughout Xiangyang City in just a few days. Even the prefect was alarmed and sent people to inquire about the matter.

Xia Ping'an buried the black dragon in a coffin and built a tall righteous dog tomb in Ji'nan, which was more than ten feet high. He also erected a tablet in front of the tomb to record the death of the black dragon.

…

This may be the first tomb built for dogs in the world.

According to history, it was the prefect Zheng Xia who originally built the canine mound, but Xia Ping'an built the canine mound himself before Zheng Xia could do it.

Thousands of years later, the city of Xiangyang resisted the Yuan Dynasty army for five full years!

The hero Guo in the novel staged a tragic scene in this city.

Standing and looking at the tall tomb of the Black Dragon, Xia Pingan's heart was filled with excitement as he thought of the scene of the Black Dragon's savior.

At this time, the world of Jie Zhu turned into light rain and shattered...
