Chapter 15 The flying dragon is auspicious in the sky, and the green dragon is on the side of Yuanbao

The poem says:

Dragon Boat Race in May, Qinglong Lake is jubilant,

Ten miles and eight villages gathered together to pray for the safety and well-being of Qinglong.

It is said that there is an old man who specializes in telling children those magical stories, and the most widely circulated story is the story about the green dragon. After listening to these stories, the second son returned home.

If the mountain is not high, there are fairies, and if the water is not deep, there are dragons.

The water of Qinglong Lake is the water of the dragon. Therefore, people have been worshipping here for generations to pray for the blessing of the green dragon. Bless her, people are in good weather, children and grandchildren are full, happy and healthy!

The Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May every year is the day when people sacrifice to the green dragon. On this day, put on a costume, prepare all kinds of tributes, on the shore of Qinglong Lake, put a few cases, burn incense and pray, like a green dragon to pray for blessings. Dragon boat racing on Qinglong Lake is a traditional program to worship the Qing Dragon. Ten miles and eight villages around Qinglong Lake, prepare gongs and drums, dragon boats, and a dozen stick boys in advance! The winning village can welcome the Green Dragon Banner back to the village. It will be the glory of the village for a year. It also heralds the special blessing of the golden dragon. Therefore, each village made the best efforts to prepare. It's not so much about striving for the greatest reward, but for the greatest psychological comfort.

In the Liangxiang area, the Dragon Boat Festival is a grand festival to worship the green dragon. Under the rule of the Khitans, people paid more attention to traditional sacrificial activities. Having a good traditional festival and inheriting the tradition of the Han people has become a kind of sustenance in people's hearts, just like sacrificing the green dragon. So every time the arrival of traditional festivals. They all dressed up in festive costumes, sang and danced, releasing their nostalgia for tradition. Sacrificing the green dragon is also their best excuse. Therefore, every Dragon Boat Festival, the shore of Qinglong Lake is crowded with people, bustling and lively.

One summer, the sky was cloudy and rainy. As a result, flash floods and rivers swelled, and the land of North China was an ocean. Houses were washed away, roads were washed away, crops were flooded, and villages became isolated islands, hundreds of miles in circumference, and became Zeguo. Ordinary people are displaced and their livelihoods are struggling. At this time, people thought of Qinglong. Gather from all directions in the Qinglong Lake card. Qinglong Lake has been surrounded by crop fields. It is connected into a piece, and it is impossible to distinguish which is the crop field and which is the Qinglong Lake. Wherever the land that came out of the water stood full of people. Bow to Mobai in the direction of Qinglong Lake in their hearts, burn incense and pray. I hope that the green dragon will appear and bless them through their suffering.

Niuquan Village, because it is under Ma'an Mountain, belongs to the hills in front of the mountain, and the terrain is higher than the average orange. Because the water of the Qingqing River swelled, all the land was submerged. The road was also washed away. There is no house that does not leak rain, no road mud is difficult to walk, there are no dry clothes on the body, and there is no dry firewood when opening a house. It was a rare flood. The villages within a radius of several hundred miles are the same as the Cattle Pen Village, and most of them are no worse than the Cattle Pen Village. Therefore, the common people called the heavens and the earth silent. We can only hope for the blessing of the green dragon.

People live like a year, 20 days of cloudy days, more than ten days of heavy rain, really no way to live. Everyone is looking forward to the reappearance of the green dragon.

One day, the huge waves of Qinglong Lake were surging, slowly forming a huge whirlpool. It's whirling, spinning, spinning. There was a thunderclap that shook the sky, and in the center of the whirlpool, a green dragon soared. The green dragon soared into the sky, swept away the dark clouds, and the dazzling sunlight shone on the earth. The rain stopped, the sky cleared, and the sun came out. The green dragon plunged into the Qinglong Lake again in an instant. The water of Qinglong Lake has dropped sharply. Qinglong opened his bloody mouth and sucked the water from Qinglong Lake into his stomach.

As the water level of Qinglong Lake drops. The village is out, the big road is out, and the dealer is out. The river is clear, the banks are clear, and nature is back to its original form. People rejoiced, ran to tell each other, cheered for the reappearance of the green dragon, saved the people from fire and water, and blessed the safety of one party.

After a few years, there was no snow for a single winter, and spring was already a dry season, and the wheat fields in early summer were scorched yellow. There was no harvest of summer grains. In the north, the vast majority of wheat crops are the main crops, and the failure of the summer grain harvest means that there is a serious grain deficit throughout the year. Although it is said that there are nine droughts in the north in ten years, it is still extremely rare to have a drought that lasts for more than half a year.

From winter to spring, from early spring to summer, people beg for rain every day, trying all kinds of ways to ask for rain, and do not hesitate to offer boys and girls to the Dragon King Temple. Each monastery, this kind of dojo, carries out various activities and casts various spells. Pray for rain in the heavens. No matter what method people take, no matter how devout their hearts are, God has no mercy after all. Not a drop of rain fell.

The sun in July in the north is like a blazing sun, as if it wants to scorch the earth, and it seems to ignite a raging fire in people's hearts. Not only will we take back the earth, but we will also scorch the hearts of men.

People think of Qinglong again, gathering at the bottom of the basin like Qinglong Lake. The water of Qinglong Lake is higher than in previous years, if this sun is in the test for a few days. Maybe Qinglong Lake will be dry. People stood on the shore of Qinglong Lake, burned incense and prayed, with open chests and backs, and knelt for a long time. A day passed, and another day passed. It's almost July. The sun is still so hot, the sky is still so hot, and people's hearts are on fire.

One day, a thunderclap sounded on the flat ground, and the green dragon soared into the sky again. The sun is like a fire, swallowing the thick fog, forming a large area of dark clouds, shrouding the sun, the green dragon flying in the sky, the dark clouds rolling, the wind is strong, for a moment, the heavy rain is majestic, for the nectar sprinkled all over the world. Qinglong also returned to Qinglong Lake.

In this pouring rain, people rushed to tell each other, the green dragon was present, and the nectar was sprinkled all over the world.

The people believe in the green dragon. Qinglong Lake is their holy place.

What a beautiful legend this is for people. It's not so much that they are superstitious about the green dragon. It's better to say that they are yearning. It's not so much their desire. For people living in the suffering of water sound, the green dragon is the sustenance in their hearts.

The second son told this story to Mrs. Wang with relish. As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Mrs. Wang suddenly thought of the night before the second son was born, and didn't he dream of the green dragon? Looking at the speech of the second company's eyebrows, Mrs. Wang thought to herself, it seems that she really has a good heart, and he really has deep feelings for his natal dragon.

Exactly: the second son performed the green dragon, and Mrs. Wang secretly thought to herself,

You said that Qinglong's original surname is Li, and the Tao is Panyuan Niuquan Village.

What is the relationship between the second son and the green dragon? What is the mystery? Later, there was an accident with the white dragon and the black dragon, and there was a division of teaching, and listen to the next decomposition.
