In the spring of this year, the temple of Shiniu Temple decided to renovate the temple that had fallen into disrepair. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But when he started digging the foundation, the workers who helped build the temple suddenly dug up a dragon. It's not the usual dinosaur, it's the legendary Chinese dragon.

It is the kind of long dragon we have seen in countless movies and TV series, with a head like a cow, horns like a deer, eyes like a shrimp, ears like an elephant, neck like a snake, a belly like a snake, scales like a fish, claws like a phoenix, and palms like a tiger.

In the beginning, it was only said to be a long strip of fossils. Later, various versions of the legend began to emerge. And the most widely circulated and most trusted version is this version:

Some people say that at the moment when the dragon was in the world, the originally clear sky suddenly blew up and rained heavily. The workers who helped at first dug the tail of the dragon, and he thought that there was a hard stone under the soil, and continued to dig towards the stone with all his strength, but unexpectedly, the stone was so hard that a hoe could not dig it up.

The worker thought it was an ordinary roadblock, and with all his strength, he swung his hoe one after another, and after nine consecutive swings, the stone snapped open.

At the moment when the stone broke, there was a sudden thunderous roar, and five thunderbolts of different colors suddenly appeared in the sky, directly blasting towards the worker. In a moment's time, the man's body was like charcoal, turning to ashes.

The other workers who were working not far away were all frightened when they saw this.

Miao Zhu also saw this scene not far away, and exclaimed: "There are five thunders in the sky!" Then he knelt on the ground and prayed to the Buddha.

Seeing this, the other workers also hurried to the temple and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

Waiting until the wind and rain stopped, Miao Zhu got up and said, "What did that person do just now?" How could he suddenly offend Heaven and be punished by God? ”

The rest of the people looked at each other, and they couldn't say why.

Miao Zhu thought about it, and led a few people to the place where the person was standing just now, only to see a stone as gentle as jade.

The sharp-eyed Miao Zhu always felt that there was something wrong with this stone, squatted down and gently picked it up, and looked carefully, only to find that the shape of the stone was particularly strange, and there were thin scale patterns on it.

Miao Zhu thought about it for a while, but still didn't come up with what it looked like. He looked at the half of the stone that was still buried in the soil underneath, and asked several other people to do it, clean up the soil and take a look, and carefully told him to move lightly and not hurt the stone.

Unexpectedly, the remaining half of the stone was surprisingly long, and the workers were busy for a long time before they could clean it up. From the length of seven or eight meters cleared, some shapes can be seen gradually.

The more Miaozhu looks, the more frightened he becomes, and the more he looks at it, the more he looks like a legendary dragon. He hurriedly stopped the workers who were still digging lightly. Then, after returning to the temple, praying to God and worshiping the Buddha and calculating an auspicious day of the zodiac, he went to seriously prepare the three animal sacrifices.

It can be seen that it is in the shape of a dragon, of course, not only Miaozhu alone, but also other workers gradually see it. That night, when the workers returned home, they all told their relatives about the strange incident they had seen today.

The news of the real dragon out of Shiniu Mountain gradually spread, from time to time some people are curious to go, want to see it, but they are all stopped outside the mountain gate by the temple Zhu, until the auspicious day of the zodiac arrives, the temple Zhu strictly follows the ritual of sacrifice in front of the stone to worship.

When the worship was finished, there was another flash of lightning and thunder, and the mountain suddenly cracked a crevice in the mountain, leaving the dirt that had not yet been cleared, and suddenly parted from it, and a long pit appeared in front of everyone.

At the moment when the lightning and thunder ended, everyone forgot about the bottom of the pit together, only to see a lifelike stone dragon walking quietly at the bottom of the pit.

From that moment on, the news of Shiniu Mountain's dragon gradually spread, and it was no slower than the speed of news spread on the Internet. The ethnic village is located at the junction of Shejiang and Mianzhou, and gradually, everyone around knows this incredible news.

There is an endless stream of people who come to Shiniu Mountain to see the dragon, especially many monks who believe in Buddhism, and everyone has donated a lot of incense money to Shiniu Temple.

The times create heroes, and heroes are in troubled times. When this incident came out of Shiniu Mountain, everyone discovered that the previously unknown temple was actually a rare talent.

With the help of Shilong's fame, he raised a lot of funds and rebuilt the entire Shiniu Temple in just over half a year.

Halfway up the mountain, near the road, a mountain gate was built. After entering the mountain gate, a long stone staircase goes from low to high, which is very imposing.

At the end of the stairs is a three-story hall, which was built on the mountainside, and the view at the foot of the mountain is even more imposing. This hall has been named the Dragon King Hall, and the stone dragon is enshrined in the center of the main hall.

After the main hall, there are two more buildings, both three-story high, and the second one is dedicated to common bodhisattvas such as Buddha and Kannon.

The third one is divided into two, with the front hall enshrined with Buddha statues and the apse being a stage in the air. Behind the stage, there are many stone benches stacked on the mountain, a bit like the audience seat of a movie theater.

And the place where the stone dragon was found was also kept as it was by the temple and enshrined.

The mountain is not high, and there is a fairy name. The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. After the dragon, this nameless hill gradually became famous in several cities of Shejiang and Mianzhou.

On the occasion of the arrival of this year, after the wanderers who were struggling outside Sanchuan Province returned to their hometowns, Shiniu Mountain ushered in the second wave of surging onlookers.

Many people, like Yanzi and Mao Yue, will come here after hearing the whole story.

However, there are also rumors that after hearing this rumor, the Sanchuan Provincial Museum also sent a scientific team to Shiniu Mountain for a second investigation. However, it is said that this time they did not come here with the same rudimentary equipment as they had been thirty years ago, but with all the equipment they had gathered.

The final result of the investigation was that this was not a dragon at all, but just some old plant fossils, which by chance became such a shape, which did not have scientific research value, and could not prove that dragons really existed.

Therefore, they did not use the power in their hands to take away the stone dragon this time.

However, everyone scoffed at this statement and did not believe it. People are more willing to believe in the previous myth with a strong story.

After all, Swallow had received a formal modern education, and instead believed in the latter even more. And Mao Yue, who was not such a fool, saw so many demons and monsters in the past six months, and was skeptical of it. So, today, she accompanied Yanzi and hugged Zheng Si to find out.
