Chapter 601 The origin of the dragon

ps: Thank you for the monthly ticket reward of book friend 44657962 and Xiaoyu Xianggong.

The girl in front of her who spoke Baodao Mandarin was the girl who was with Lin Youxiang when she was in the Wa Kingdom.

Xiao Peng recognized her: "What about the kid named Lin Youxiang? Why didn't he join you? By the way, I don't know what your name is." ”

The girl shook hands with Xiao Peng generously: "My name is Li Yuke, and you call me Ake." Last time we went to the Wa Kingdom, Ah Xiang and I always wanted to repay you for saving your life, but we never found the whereabouts of our benefactor, so we didn't expect to meet here. Ah Xiang had a bad stomach yesterday and rested in the hotel. ”

Xiao Peng smiled and waved his hand: "Ake, good name, the big beauty in Lu Ding Ji." Don't mention the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, they are all the descendants of Yan and Huang, it's just a matter of raising your hands, but you, how can you come to the Demon Capital?"

Ah Ke said: "After we came back from the Wa Kingdom, we have been thinking about a question: Is Huaxia really as poor and backward as the authorities say? So we came to Huaxia to see the truth with our own eyes. ”

"What about the truth?" Xiao Peng asked with a smile.

"We've been deceived for so many years!" said Ke, biting her lip and looking angry. "Ah Xiang happened to have some business at home and wanted to come to the magic capital, so we also ran here. I didn't expect to see your benefactor here。。。。。。。 ”

Xiao Peng waved his hand and said: "What kind of benefactor is not benefactor, my name is Xiao Peng, and my friends call me Brother Peng, so you can call me that." How did you get back here? You also like animals?"

Ke nodded and said, "Yes, I have a lot of dogs at home." ”

Xiao Peng didn't take it well: "I still have to go and see, what about you?"

Ah Ke's head was anxious: "Brother Peng, I also want to take a look here, why don't we go together?"

Xiao Peng still agrees with Ake's proposal, the three old men go to the zoo to play together, after all, it is still very strange, and Ake, a young and beautiful girl, is by her side, it must be much more normal than the three old men together, isn't it?

"This cow looks so silly。。。。。。 ”

"That's not an ordinary cow, that's called takin, it's also a protected animal in China, now there are four subspecies of Gaoligong takin, Bhutanese takin, Sichuan takin, Qinling takin, can be found in China, this is also the national animal of Bhutan, of course, although it is called takin, but it belongs to the sheep subfamily, is a kind of 'sheep cow', you see the horns on its head, it grows from the top of the head, and the horns grow from both sides of the head. ”

"Do you see that one with a pig's nose? It's called the Central American tapir, and it's the largest of the three American tapirs, but due to the expansion of human hunting and settlement, the number of American tapirs has become smaller and smaller, and it is now an endangered species. ”

"See? That's the white-cheeked gibbon, this is a species that is very loyal to love, many zoos will put a male gibbon and several female gibbons together in order to exhibit the effect, or to increase the breeding rate, but in the end the result is to leave a male and a female, and the other female gibbons will be driven out. There was once a story about a pair of gibbons who lived together for several years, and then the mother gibbon fell ill and died, and the male gibbon was depressed in life from then on, and the keeper found him five or six brides, all of whom he drove out. Finally, less than a year later, the male gibbon also died. Therefore, they can represent love more than mandarin ducks. You know, the mandarin duck is not loyal to love, usually does not maintain a fixed relationship between husband and wife, only when the spouse will show an inseparable intimate posture, and after giving birth to a small mandarin duck, the male bird never asks, and the work of raising young birds is completely carried out by the female. ”

Xiao Peng is like a tour guide, introducing all kinds of animal knowledge to everyone, Feng Jianting and Huang He are okay, and Ah Ke listens to it with relish.

Ah Ke walked and walked, and suddenly pointed to the side: "Brother Peng, look at that big mouth, it's so scary!"

When Xiao Peng saw it, it turned out to be a Chinese alligator. The Chinese crocodile is a kind of crocodile endemic to China, one of the smallest crocodile species in the world, and also the most sluggish and tame crocodile. At the same time, it is also one of the oldest crocodile species, which has existed on the earth for more than 200 million years, and the characteristics of reptiles such as dinosaurs can still be found on it, which is known as a 'living fossil' and is also a national first-class protected animal in China.

Xiao Peng smiled slightly, pointed to the Chinese alligator and said, "Do you know? There is a lot of evidence that can show that the prototype of our Huaxia Dragon is the Chinese alligator." Of course, this is just a guess, just a possibility. ”

"Huh?" After listening to Xiao Peng's words, the three of them froze in place, the prototype of the dragon was a crocodile?

Xiao Peng snapped his fingers and said: "Think about it, is the image of the dragon a snake body, claws, horse face, and scale armor?" After speaking, Xiao Peng pointed to the Yangtze crocodile: "Look at it, it has a long body, a big face, and crocodile skin, isn't this not in line? And the ancients said that when the dragon is big, it will spit out fog, and if it is small, it will hide its shape, you think about it, when the crocodile hunts, there is only one eye and nose left on the water surface, isn't that the hidden form? And it is said that it spits fog, do you know how the crocodile hunts? People call it death spinning, biting the prey and then promoting the body in the water, and tearing off the flesh of the prey with the power of rotation, isn't that the clouds spitting fog?"

Ah Ke bit his lip and shook his head: "But just saying that, the reason is too far-fetched." I still can't believe it. ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "Of course I still have evidence." Do you want to hear it?"

The three of them nodded together, and Xiao Peng continued: "Yangtze crocodile, also known as the dragon, commonly known as the 'pig dragon', in the "Shishuo Xinyu" and "Jin Shu Zhou Biography" all recorded an allusion, called 'Zhou Everywhere to eliminate the three evils', so far in Peking Opera still retains this repertoire, the general meaning is Yixing County, oh, that is, today's Yixing City, there are three major scourges, there are dragons in the water, tigers in the mountains, and there is a disaster in the township. People came up with a way to get rid of the other two evils, Zhou killed the tiger, got rid of the dragon, and finally became a generation of loyal ministers, and at that time, the Yangtze crocodile in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River was still very common. ”

/ Seeing that the three of them were silent, Xiao Peng continued, "Turkey is a Turkic descendant, and the ancientization and Huaxia of Turkey before being Ajafied have many same origins, for example, the ancient calendar of Turkey also has twelve zodiac signs, and the location and order are not bad at all, the only difference is that the dragon of Huaxia corresponds to the crocodile of Turkey. Think about it, in the eyes of the ancients, there was no problem for crocodiles to 'enter the sea' and 'go to the ground'. According to the legendary ability of the dragon, the tiger is not worth mentioning at all, why is there a saying that there is a dragon and tiger fighting? But if you think about the crocodile fighting the tiger, can you understand why?"

"But。。。。。。 But...... "Ah Ke didn't say a reason for a long time.

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "In fact, there are many similar evidences, according to the records of the pre-Qin Xian, in the era of Yao Shunyu, there may have been people who domesticated the Yangtze crocodile, for example, the "Zuo Chuan" recorded that in the twenty-ninth year of Zhaogong: 'In autumn, the dragon was seen in the suburbs. The ancients were beasts and dragons, and the ancient countries had the dragon clan and the royal dragon clan. In the past, there was Shu'an, there were descendants, the father of the day Dong, the seal of Zhuchuan, and the Yi family. Therefore, Emperor Shun has animal dragons in the world. There is Xia, Kong Jia disturbs the emperor, and the emperor gives the dragon. There are two Hehan each, each with a male and female, and Kong Jia cannot be eaten, and he has not won the Fenglong clan. There is Tao Tang's decline, followed by Liu Lei, learning to disturb the dragon in the dragon clan, to do things, can eat and drink. After Xiahou Jiazhi, the family said that the dragon was given, and after the more Feng Wei. The dragon died and the queen of the summer was eaten. After the summer, you will ask for it. Fearful and moved to Lu County, Fan followed. The dragon recorded here should be the Chinese alligator. ”

And like the "Shuowen" is also recorded: Jiao, the genus of the dragon, the pond fish, full of three thousand six hundred, Jiao to be long, can lead the fish to fly in the water, that is, Jiao go. And in "Yunhui", it is said: Jiao, dragon. Hornless. Of course, many people will say that the dragon mentioned here is Jiao, not a dragon, and the image of this horned dragon is very different from the crocodile, which can only show that the crocodile may be the prototype of the dragon, or the descendants will further mythologize the dragon's antlers, hump head, rabbit eyes, snake neck, mirage, fish scales, eagle claws, tiger palms, and ox ears according to this prototype. Anyway, among the animals in the world, the form of the crocodile is undoubtedly the closest to the dragon. ”

Feng Jianting and the three of you, look at me, I look at you, and in the end, Feng Jianting couldn't help it: "Old man, what have you been doing during this time? Why are the exits all classical? You can also memorize such a mouthful?"

Xiao Peng sighed: "I was bored some time ago, and I was left to read." Grandpa Sun is also a bull, afraid that I will cause trouble, so he simply got me a library, and when I am idle, I will read. "Huang He and Feng Jianting both know who Grandpa Sun is talking about in Xiao Peng's mouth, and they have seen it in Qianliyan.

Huang He was also shocked: "Brother Peng, is that library big?"

"It's okay, it's only tens of thousands of books. There's all sorts of mess. Xiao Peng said.

Huang He continued to ask, "How many tens of thousands of books have you read?"

"I've read it all. Now let Grandpa Sun help me find the book again. Xiao Peng said with a smile.

Sun Shaohui sighed: "No wonder Qianliyan seafood can be so powerful, Brother Peng This is the golden house in the book, with Brother Peng's learning ability, it is too condescending to engage in fishing." ”

"Then what should I do?" Xiao Peng smiled.

Feng Jianting patted on the back: "Old man, with your brain, you should be the leader of the country." ”

Xiao Peng laughed: "Your sycophant is too unprofessional, believe it or not, if I become a leader, it won't take a few days, and our country will fall into war." If it's not that piece of material, don't mix it blindly, politics is not something that we people can play with. Tsk, to tell you the truth, if I run this fishery by myself, I'm afraid that the fishing industry in the four seas may not be able to develop, and what you do is not necessarily worse than what I personally do, so don't be presumptuous, you are all good. At this time, Xiao Peng didn't forget to pour chicken soup for them, which is really not easy to be the boss.

Ah Ke came back to his senses at this time, pointed at Feng Jianting and asked, "Brother Peng, why does he call you an old man?"

"Uh, don't worry about those details。。。。。。 ”
