Chapter 051: Tears of the Dragon King
Almost all parts of China have legends about the apparition of the dragon king, and in recent years, there are often people who claim to have witnessed the real dragon soaring into the sky and riding the clouds and fog.
Especially in the hearts of those fishermen and boatmen who rely on the water to eat, the dragon king is definitely an extremely feared existence. Even in the pre-Republic of China period, if the ferry encountered a big river and waves, it would be thought that the dragon king was angry, and he wanted to throw boys and girls into the river in order to get the dragon king to calm his anger.
It sounds foolish, but it's true.
At the same time, it illustrates a problem, the dragon king is not exactly a good image in the hearts of the people, but also has an evil side.
The old man who fell into the ditch and drowned, probably remembering that his time was short, and a cigarette was quickly burned out like a lit fuse.
Lu Zheng hurriedly took out another one and handed it over, the old man took it lazily, clapped his hands on his ears, and said with a smile: "Hou Shengzi, do you know why we are called Da Mangzhuang here?"
Seeing that he sold Guanzi, Lu Zheng was very cooperative and made a curious baby's appearance, and asked, "Why?"
The old man was able to show off his knowledge in front of the research monks of Hu Bayi University, and he was very proud, and even his voice became clear and solemn, and he smiled: "This matter is earlier than the matter of the Dragon Prince." What is the name of Da Mang? It is a big long worm, I heard my second master say, it was written on the family tree of the ancestral hall, what happened at that time? The imperial uncle of the Ming Dynasty broke up with his eldest nephew, and it was a miserable fight, and the dead people were piled up.
At that time, our ancestors, hey, small landlords, had baskets of silver at home, and their daughters-in-law were more beautiful than the other. The soldier came, and my ancestor had no choice, so he took Yinzi and his daughter-in-law and the whole family down the Xingzhong River and turned to the Xixiu River, intending to take refuge in the mountains. But if this person carries it a little, he will smash his heel with a fart, and when he encounters a thief on an unknown mountain, he will steal all the silver and his daughter-in-law. Thanks to my ancestor's cleverness, he plunged his head into the Xixiu River. After going down, he was confused, he couldn't swim, he couldn't even dig a dog. That water drinker, my stomach is balled, and I see that I will end up with my grandfather, and guess what?"
"Can't guess. Lu Zheng smiled shyly, and secretly said in his heart, isn't it just a big worm. However, in order to satisfy the old man's inflated vanity, he had to pretend to be cute and stupid.
"You're a young boy, you don't have a bright brain. The old man stretched lazily and continued: "Didn't you talk about the big long worm earlier, hey, this big long worm is not an ordinary long worm, have you ever seen a cloth seller? I carried my ancestors to the shore, rolled over on the water, and left. ”
"Later, the world was peaceful, my ancestors returned to their old business, made a lot of money, married a few daughters-in-law, and had more family property than before. Later, the children and grandchildren were full of people, and they lived on the edge of the Xixiu River and formed the big python village. Isn't this a simplified word after liberation, and it is called the current Da Mangzhuang. ”
"It turns out that uncle, you are still a famous family. Lu Zheng said with a compliment on his face.
Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear.
The old man's eyebrows were about to fly, a pair of eyes were full of brilliance, and the vertical and horizontal furrows on his face stretched out for a moment, and he said with interest: "Later, when my ancestor was dying, I heard that the big python dreamed that it came, saying that its virtue moved the Jade Emperor and became the dragon king at the bottom of the well in Xixiu Mountain, and begged my ancestor to build him an incense temple." With a stroke of his pen, my ancestor set aside 3,000 taels of silver, and instructed his children and grandchildren to build a palace residence for the Dragon King. ”
"And then?"
"Later, my ancestor kicked his legs, rolled his eyes, and drove to the west. ”
Lu Zheng: "......"
Uncle, you continue to mourn and change.
Most of the various villages in China are inhabited by the same surname and originate from the same ancestor. This old man is not the grandson of his ancestors for many generations, but since this matter has been written into the family tree, it is obviously not groundless.
"Did the Dragon King Temple be built in the end?" Lu Zheng had a faint feeling that the Dragon King who was hit by the heavenly fire was most likely the Dragon King who gave the old man's ancestors a dream.
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, unless there is one male and one female.
This dragon is the emperor of the water, it is the same reason. In a river, there can be no two dragon kings.
"It's covered, why didn't it be covered?" the old man smiled, pointed his thin fingers into the distance, and said: "Did you see the mountain over there? Where was it built at that time, glazed tiles, big green bricks, red lacquer dragon pillars, a total of three courtyards, golden statues, and the incense was very prosperous." ”
Lu Zheng followed his finger and looked at a trapezoidal lone peak in the mountains in the distance, and the lone peak could be a lonely ancient cypress, and in the center of the ancient cypress was a pile of ruins and broken walls.
"This ...... How did this come to be?" the ruins of the wall could no longer see the appearance of a building, like a large mound.
The old man shook his head and spread his hands and said, "Let people smash it." In six years, there will be a big flood, and many people will die. Those little soldiers with red seals, what is that, that is, all demons and monsters are paper tigers, and they brought people to the Dragon King Temple to level. ”
Lu Zheng was silent for a while.
"Tell me, what a wickedness. Later, the water from the well at the head of the village became sour, and whoever drank it had a stomach upset. ”
Well?
Lu Zheng's heart jumped and asked, "What well?"
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the entrance of the village near the mouth of the Xixiu River, smashed his mouth and said: "Just the well five miles away from the village entrance, the water used to be sweet, like mixed with white sugar. But now, it's been filled in a long time ago. ”
Wulijing!
Lu Zheng was stunned all of a sudden, his heart beat wildly, the blood all over his body seemed to ignite, and the dragon scales trembled uncontrollably.
The answer is already on the horizon.
The Wulijing Water Monarch God Throne inherited by Lu Zheng is the former Water Monarch Dragon King of Xixiu River, the big python.
Lu Zheng, who inherited the throne of the Water Monarch, has now come to the territory of his former master. Is it a coincidence, or is there a destiny in the dark?
This made Lu Zheng involuntarily think of a lot of information he consulted when selecting the reservoir at that time, and almost at a glance he saw the Xixiu River, and he felt very fond of it, and liked it from the bottom of his heart.
I see, I see!
Why did the dragon scales tremble for no reason? It must be the dragon king who died for the people, telling his deeds, or accusing him of unwillingness.
Xixiu Mountain, Xixiu River, Wulijing, the place of his origin, the land of the dragonfall, the place of bones.
Now that the well has been filled, the river has dried up, the palace has collapsed, and the dragon tomb has been dug, it is the last remaining dragon scales that have induction, and the guide Lu Zheng has come here, after all, this was the place where he originated.
The trembling dragon scales seemed to emit a mournful dragon groan, unwilling, frustrated, angry and lost.
The old man kept babbling a lot, but Lu Zheng's thoughts were already confused.
Until it was nearly dark, he sat alone on the edge of the reservoir, looking at the endless water veins in front of him, imagining the dragon tomb that collapsed underwater, as the successor of the dragon king, Lu Zheng's heart was also infected, and his heart was sad and bitter, and he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and howl to vent his anger.
Eventually, he plunged headlong into the reservoir and sat quietly at the bottom of the water.
The surrounding water began to churn and boil, and a vast mist evaporated from the surface of the water.
The dragon scales moved faster than ever, and in the course of a whole night, three golden dragon scales were transformed one after another.
As dawn approached, the trembling of the dragon's scales gradually stopped, and a subtle meaning was withdrawn, passing through the water and dispersing into the steaming mist until it rose into the sky clouds.
A light rain began to fall slowly.
This may be the last tear of the Dragon King.
Lu Zheng stood in the rain, with tears in his eyes, looking up to the sky and roaring, as if there was a dragon's groan.
All the lost glory, I will get it back for you!
I swear!
