Chapter 49: The Legend of the Evil Dragon
The phone did not say why he couldn't deal with Tong Jianye. But Zang Butian must have his reason for saying this.
Seeing that there was a mess all around, the originally carefully arranged game was completely disrupted. At some point, the woman crept into the courtyard and stood in a corner watching.
Shan Hao's eyes were sharp, he glanced at me, and tilted his mouth in that direction a few times.
I said, "Since you're here, why don't you come and say hello?"
The woman said, "That old thing has been taken in, right? The Taoist chief really has a good method, and dividing five by two will remove my heart." ”
It turned out that she couldn't see with her eyes, but she could only hear the movement very loudly, and thought that Tong Jianye was ambushed.
I asked, "Did you invite us here to catch fish?" I searched everywhere, but I didn't see a single fishing tool, not even a fishing rod. ”
"Oh, that must be hiding somewhere. The woman said coldly.
Although it was still a pair of godless prosthetic eyes, his expression and tone had changed from the pleading and pitiful state of the previous few days, and became cold.
At this time, I didn't have time to think about it, I just wanted to find Tong Jianye as soon as possible and ask what the underground behemoth was.
"Are you wondering what is going on underground?" said the woman, who seemed to hear my inner thoughts, and a smug smile crossed her face.
"Exactly, exactly, you know?" I asked. The fish spirit woman in front of her became more and more unpredictable.
"It's a very complex matter, and it's a huge number of people and organizations involved. It's better not to ask. "The woman said.
As soon as the words fell, Tong Jianye suddenly appeared behind the woman, and reached out to grab her neck.
The woman was alarmed and hurried for help. But in a blink of an eye, Tong Jianye caught the fish spirit and the woman disappeared into the wall and disappeared without a trace.
No matter how you call the practice, until the afternoon of the card, there is still nothing. I tried to find the passage and entrance to the underground, but I had no clue.
As a last resort, I had to drive back and ask Zang Butian about the origin of this place.
On the phone, Zang Butian said that he was on his way over and would arrive tomorrow morning. It's never too late to meet.
Early the next morning, Zang Butian arrived with two disciples, Zheng Yue and Mao Jie. As soon as they met, Zang Butian talked about what he had learned.
The predecessor of this reservoir was a waterhole, called the Great Dragon Pond.
Legend has it that 1,300 years ago, there was an evil dragon in the local area, able to call the wind and rain, the order of the cloudy and sunny, the local people were exploited, every fifteenth day of the new year to ask the local people to pay tribute, and every year must be two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls for sacrifice, otherwise it will cause a local drought or flood, no harvest.
And his temperament is capricious, and he often transforms into all kinds of people to play tricks on others. If the person being tricked has the slightest disrespectful words, the family will be mutilated to death.
In the long run, the people were overwhelmed, and their numbers became smaller and smaller. Naturally, there are fewer and fewer girls who can pay tribute every year, and the families who give birth to daughters are either given away after birth, or they quietly move away.
This year, only the twin daughters of the local Zhang Baochang were eligible, but who was willing to send these beautiful and lovely daughters into the water and lose their lives in vain.
On this day, suddenly a white-clothed showman came to the village. Sven Wen, courteous and courteous. When he walked past the door of Zhang Baochang's house, he saw the husband and wife crying opposite each other at the door, so he stepped forward to ask the reason.
Zhang Baochang and his wife were worried that there was no one to talk to, and the people in the village had already hid far away. Seeing that someone came to ask, he told Xiushi everything about it.
Xiushi asked, "Does the chief be filial to his parents and treat his brothers well?"
Zhang Baochang was puzzled by the question, but after all, he was one of the few literate people in the local area, so he replied: "Every day in the morning and dusk, three meals and six meals, I dare not be less." ”
"On weekdays, can you oppress the people, pay taxes harshly, and exploit and rob by force?" asked the white-clothed Xiushi.
Zhang Baochang was extremely unhappy when he heard this, and said: "I think my boss Zhang is respectful on weekdays, building roads and bridges for the local area, and sheltering the people from the wind and rain." Why are you so disrespectful?"
"Okay, since you are filial to your parents and kind to the people, I will help you get rid of this evil dragon. But you have to promise me one condition. ”
"Can you help us get rid of the evil dragon?" Zhang Baochang looked the white-clothed Xiu up and down. The thin figure is extremely weak, as if it can be blown away by a gust of wind. In any case, I don't believe that he has the ability to defeat that evil dragon with vast powers and infinite changes.
Xiushi did not answer, but only said that he would spend the night here tonight, and explained that no matter what happened at night, you should not go out or peek. Remember, remember.
That night until the end of the night and the beginning of the day, there was no movement. There was no light in Xiushi's room, so he thought he had gone to bed early. Zhang Baochang and his wife shook their heads with a wry smile, saying that this person wanted to spend the night and talk about it, but he made up a lot of nonsense, which is really a "day valley." (Riguzi is a local colloquial saying that describes a person who speaks without boundaries and brags without drafting.) )
Unexpectedly, at the end of the day, the sky thundered and roared, and a black cloud hovered over Zhang Baochang's roof, and lightning struck from the sky one after another, and each time the lightning reached the door of the Xiushi, it turned directly into the ground.
Eventually, it turned into a ball of fire, but it could only spin around outside the door. From a distance, it is like a streamer flying, illuminating the yard like day.
Zhang Baochang and his wife had never seen such a battle, just hearing such a movement outside, they were too frightened to move. And today, Xiushi repeatedly explained that he couldn't peek, so the two of them tightly covered themselves in the quilt and didn't dare to come out.
After a while, there was a loud wheezing sound from inside the courtyard, and the sound traveled around the courtyard, sometimes outside the window, sometimes far away. It seems that the dragon has come in looking for someone.
Zhang Baochang and his wife didn't take Xiushi seriously during the day, and after the two heard the explanation, they didn't take it seriously at all. So I didn't explain any movement to my twin daughters, so you can't peek at it.
The two daughters had gone to bed early, but they were awakened by the thunder in the courtyard.
After another explosion, the two little girls were so frightened that they screamed "Ah!" The girl's natural reaction was to jump out of bed and open the door after the continuous thunderstorms, and wanted to run to her parents' room.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a huge dragon head appear in front of him. A pair of eyes are like a well at the head of the village, bottomless. The sound of loud and heavy breathing, which was heard up close, was like thunder.
A huge fishy smell came, and the two little girls let out a heart-rending scream, hurried to the door, and then collapsed to the ground, unable to move anymore.
