Chapter 168: The Breadth of Dragon Food

"So what ghost immortal mansion ruins are all scams!?"

"Not really. Gong Yang shook his head. "If you want to have it, you can have it, but this kind of place is also very dangerous, why are you still greedy for that heart? ”

"Then I'll follow you first, just take a walk. Yan Junhong was melancholy and looked at the sky meaningfully.

Gong Yang glanced at him in surprise.

"I still have a few hundred in the card, and it is estimated that I can't withdraw it, the important thing is that I exchanged all my assets for gold in advance and buried them under the yard. Yan Junhong sighed. "Then bury it well, it won't break for the time being. ”

Gong Yang sweated. "I'm speechless!"

"What ......?"

"Take it now!"

Suddenly a little panicked at the bottom of the mountain, a black shadow jumped up and suddenly pounced into Pujia's arms.

"Xiaobai. Pu Jia said excitedly.

"It's fine. Seeing the sect master's gaze, Gong Yang said.

"Okay, stand down, what's the fuss. The Sect Master said to them.

"It's ...... Young Dragon?" Gong Yang only glanced at it.

"You also know, what breed??" Yan Junhong said curiously.

"I don't know, we don't know much about the dragon clan, I guess Jin Zhi can know more, but I haven't seen it either. "Miyao Road.

"Oh. Yan Junhong was a little disappointed and asked again. "And what does it eat?"

"For the time being, it's still whole grains, flesh and blood. Gong Yang thought for a moment. "It's just a guess. ”

"Legend has it that in ancient times, the dragon only absorbed the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and did not eat anything, and it could maintain a huge energy consumption! This is a high-level dragon, I don't know if it can grow to this point?"

"According to the principle of the food chain, some people believe that the dragon crocodile has a mouth, eagle claws, and moves like the wind, and must be a top predator, and it can eat everything that flies in the sky and swims in the water. ”

"Will you also eat people?" Yan Junhong sighed, and he suddenly understood the feeling of fear in his heart.

"Eat!" Miyako glanced at it. "Now, it's not certain who eats whom? ”

"Woo~~" the dragon cub let out a low groan.

"Big guy, you are amazing!" Yan Junhong admired.

Pretending to be like the wind, always with me.

Especially at this time, the casual tone, strong self-confidence.

"But, are you sure you really eat people?" Yan Junhong poked lightly, a little afraid.

In "Journey to the West", the little white dragon swallowed Tang Seng's mount in one bite, which is thousands of times more powerful than the fierce tiger and leopard. The dragon seems to be particularly fond of eating horses, and Wang Yun's "On Balance" of the Eastern Han Dynasty depicts the story of Qiu Xin killing the dragon, and the reason why Qiu Xin warriors entered the abyss to kill the dragon was also because the two dragons partnered to eat his horse. This is a good indication that dragons are carnivores...... This grand scene that fully shows the predation of the flying dragon is the dragon eating the horse......" Gong Yang thought about it seriously and replied. And the dragon became angry, and seemed to eat everything. "The Biography of Liu Yi" is an opera, about Liu Yi for the little dragon girl (this little dragon girl is not Jin Yong's hero Xiaolongnu) to send a letter to the family, Xiaolongnu's old dragon uncle Qian Tangjun learned that the little niece was abused by her husband and mother-in-law in her husband's house, and ran to Jinghe angrily, killing the Jinghe Xiaolong clan without leaving a piece of armor......"

After coming back, the dialogue between Xiaolong's female father Dong Tingjun and Qian Tangjun was very expressive, and the men were all eaten, and even the dragon ate the dragon. ”

"This ...... It's a special case. Yan Junhong saw the joy of Pujia teasing the dragon, and couldn't help but hide from the palace.

"Sort of. There is also a kind of swallow meat. "Miyao Road.

"Cured meat?" Yan Junhong was surprised. "Why is it so salty?"

"Yan, Yan surnamed Yan, Yan of Yan. "Miyao Road.

In Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", swallow meat is acidic and poisonous, but in the "Book of Immortals", it is said that swallow meat is "called meat and mushroom, and food prolongs life". Li Shizhen's statement may come from the research of Tao Hongjing, a famous doctor in the Southern Dynasty, Mr. Tao said: "Swallow meat is not edible, and it is harmful to people's spirits." The so-called Jiazi arsenic is the honey of B, and then he said: "When it enters the water, it is swallowed by the dragon." And in "Huainanzi", there are also sayings that "swallows enter the water as lip clams" and "dragons love swallows", so you don't believe it. I just think that "swallows enter the water as lip clams", does it refer to bird's nest meat or bird's nest? After foaming into the water, it becomes an oyster, and it seems that bird's nest is more appropriate. ”

As early as the Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo also believed it, and wrote a poem saying: "I haven't had time to burn the rhino and the ghost, and I want to burn the swallow out of the dragon." "It's the meaning of fishing for dragons with swallow meat, I don't know if he has caught it. According to legend, a tiger went to a waterhole in Sizhou to drink water, and the dragon in the pool thought that the tiger had violated its territory, so he jumped out of the water to fight with the tiger, and as a result, the thirsty tiger was defeated by the hungry Jiao, and was "eaten by the tail", that is, he was stunned with his tail and entangled as a dish to swallow it, so Master Su wrote a poem based on this: "There is a hungry Jiao in the hidden scales, and the tail is taken from the thirsty tiger." ””

"I don't read much. Yan Junhong scratched his head, a little confused.

"Well, that's what I'm teaching you. Miyao said to him. "In ancient times, there was a dragon clan, specializing in raising dragons, "Zuo Chuan Zhao Gong 29 years" recorded: "Cai Mo said to Wei Xianzi: 'Xi Shu'an, there is a descendant called Dong's father, it is really a good dragon, can ask for its old people to eat and drink, the dragon is more returned, it is to disturb the animal dragon, to do things Emperor Shun, the surname given by the emperor is called Dong, and the name is called Fenglong. "Raising dragons on a large scale and feeding pigs, horses, cattle and sheep every day is very costly, so it is inevitable to match it with whole grains. ”

In "Shuo Wen Jie Zi", it is said: 豢, raise pigs in captivity with grain. The annotation of "Zuo Chuan: The Twenty-ninth Year of Zhao" also explains: "Serve piety and say: 'Grain food is said to be rich, and the emperor is also raised.'" Raising horses. 'Raising dogs and pigs is called pigs, knowing that they are raised with grain, and Gailong also eats grain. ””

"The trick to the success of the dragon is all in the word "pig", changing the eating habits of the carnivorous dragon, eating everything from grains and grains, so that artificial breeding is possible. In short, this master was originally surnamed Dong, because he studied scientific breeding skills, and raised an extraordinary dragon, so he was given the surname Fenglong. ”

"In the people, especially in the coastal areas where dragons can often be seen, they are very interested in the recipes of dragons, because they have to do what they like. In many places, the custom of eating pig's head meat on the second day of the second month of February is still retained, and when the seaside residents worship the dragon king, they also use pig's head meat, because the pig's head meat is related to the dragon's "ruler wood". ”

"On Heng and Long Xu" said: "The dragon has no ruler wood, and it cannot ascend to heaven." That is to say, dragons cannot fly without "shakuki". So what exactly is the so-called "ruler wood"? Some texts are far-fetched, hoping that the literati regard "ruler wood" as a low shrub. For example, "The Legend of Jiangbiao" said: "The dragon wants to soar, and the first ruler is also." "According to the meaning, when the dragon takes off, it has to stand in the bushes like a pheasant to run and take off, but this statement is obviously unreliable. ”

Tang Duancheng's "Youyang Miscellaneous Tales and Scales" said: "There is a thing on the dragon's head, such as Boshan shape, the name of the ruler wood." Dragons have no feet of wood and cannot ascend to heaven. ””

Kong Sheng once said: "The dragon eats clear and swims in the clear, the cockroach eats clear and swims in the turbidity, and the fish eats the turbidity and swims in the turbidity." It shows that the dragon's overall eating habits are very elegant, which is similar to Zhuangzi's saying that the phoenix "is not more than the sycamore, does not eat if it is not practiced, and does not drink if it is not a liquan". Of course, what they are talking about is not exactly food, but also a realm. ”

Yan Junhong was stunned again. "I don't understand it, but I still think it's amazing. ”

"Hmm. ”
