One hundred and thirty-three. Legend of the Dragon (2nd Update)
Yuan Xiye was very sure that this was the treasure map left by the tomb robbers. And his purpose is extremely clear: let Ai Xiaohai find the treasure!
To be honest, Ai Xiaohai doesn't believe that the treasure is still there, so many years have passed, and God knows who was poached. However, Yuan Lao has helped himself so much, so this time he should treat it as his own personal favor.
Besides, it's not a big deal during this time, the only trouble is that I always skip class, and I have to be caught by Gao Mingyi's guy, and some of them have a headache. Forget it, don't care about it so much, anyway, it's a good thing to go to the sea for a few days.
Seeing that Ai Xiaohai agreed, Yuan Lao was overjoyed and hurriedly told him that he had prepared equipment and personnel for him.
Ai Xiaohai hurriedly stopped Yuan Lao's move, what else did he need to equip people? Is there any equipment that can compare to the powerful Dragon Spirit Orb? What can compare to the ubiquitous animals on the people?
"You want to go alone?" Yuan Lao's face was full of surprise.
"Yes, go alone." Ai Xiaohai nodded: "Elder Yuan, Jin Kui Zhiwan's thing is too easy to shock, if the news leaks out, God knows what kind of trouble it will cause......"
Yuan Lao shook his head again and again, but he refused. The tomb robber said that there were terrible creatures on the island, and he couldn't let Ai Xiaohai take the risk anyway. After the dispute, Yuan Lao even said: "I'd rather not want this Jin Kui Zhiwan, and I will never let you be eaten by those monsters!" Forget it, we'll talk about that later. ”
Later? Let Ai Shao know, can you wait? Ai Xiaohai thought so in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "That's okay." When you are decisive, wait until I have a holiday. ”
The two sides reached a compromise. Yuan Xiye also admitted that Ai Xiaohai's words were reasonable. There are too many people and too many people are sent. This matter will definitely come to light. I've got to figure out a way. But where did he think that Ai Xiaohai's mind had already written down the course of the chart and the location of the island......
After asking Yuan Xiye about some knowledge about Jin Kui Zhiwan, Ai Xiaohai's gaze unconsciously fell on a painting hanging on the opposite wall.
The painting is a dragon rolling in the clouds, and it seems that it was probably painted by a famous artist. Ai Xiaohai asked casually: "Old Yuan, do you say that there are really dragons in this world?" ”
"Dragons?" Yuan Xiye frowned: "There are legends related to dragons in the East and the West, but the descriptions of their appearance and temper are very different. In the West, dragons represent evil most of the time; But in the East, the dragon is the most sacred symbol...... If there is a dragon or not...... Our modern scientists deny the existence of dragons, and there are many folklore stories...... But. In the official history, the appearance of the dragon is recorded......"
Kindness? The existence of dragons is still recorded in the official history? Ai Xiaohai immediately paid attention.
"That is also the only time in the canon history that the existence of dragons has been proven. That's the 'Chronicles' ......"
Historical? Sima Qian's "Historical Records"?
"Sima Qian's 'Historical Records' are still highly authoritative and credible, and in order to accurately record what happened in history, Sima Qian was even treated inhumanely...... However, the 'Historical Records' compiled by him have been passed down through the ages and have become a model of historical books in all dynasties, the first of the 25 histories, and are known as 'the swan song of historians, the rhyme of separation'......" Yuan Xiye's voice was slow and calm: "Such a story was recorded in the 'Historical Records-Xia Benji'......"
The hero of the story is the fourteenth monarch of the Xia Dynasty: Kong Jia!
This monarch does not like to run the country, or even to be a king. Just like to raise small animals. As a result, his sad and desperate father passed the position of king to his younger brother for the sake of his country, and after the death of the younger brother, it was passed on to his son, and after the death of the younger brother's son. It was finally the turn of Kong Jia, who should have sat in this position a long time ago.
You said that you finally became the king, and you are almost fifty years old, you should always pay attention, right? The result backfired. Kong Jia's love for animals has reached the point of fanaticism.
One day, two dragons, female and male, descended from the sky at the confluence of the Yellow River and Luoshui. Kong Jia was overjoyed when he heard about it. The animal protectionist was afraid that the country wild man would hurt the two lovely dragons, so he hurriedly ordered people to catch them with nets.
The two dragons were caught. Majestic, Kong Jia loved it, and built a luxurious residence for him. But two days later, Kong Jia discovered a problem that should not have been a problem, no one in the palace would feed these two dragons, including himself, who had been dealing with animals since childhood.
No matter what you give them something to eat or drink, they just don't open their mouths, I don't know if they are deliberately on a hunger strike to protest against Kong Jia's capture of them, or if there is some other reason.
Seeing these two divine dragons losing weight day by day, Kong Jia was more anxious than starving himself for three days!
Just when Kong Jia was at a loss, someone suddenly reported to him that there was a family that was good at raising dragons during the Yaoshun period, and it was passed down from generation to generation. However, Kong Jia couldn't wait for him to finish talking completely, so he asked him to go outside the palace to find the descendants of this family, and gave him a death order: you must find the descendants of this family, and if you can't find it, you will come to see him!
A few days later, in a deep mountain and old forest, this old man finally found a descendant of the dragon family named Liu Lei. When Kong Jia learned about it, he immediately invited him into the palace and gave him the surname Yulong.
Ai Xiaohai was stunned, there was still a family that specialized in raising dragons during the Yaoshun period? Really?
Yuan Xiye saw Ai Xiaohai's attentive appearance, smiled slightly, and continued.
After Liu Lei took over, he began to fulfill his obligations seriously, for fear that he would not be able to feed these two babies well, and make Kong Jia blame himself. But there are unforeseen circumstances, and I am really afraid of something!
Soon, Liu Lei found that something was wrong with the female dragon, and after a closer look, it turned out that there were many tiny scars on its abdomen, and it was estimated that eighty percent of them should have been injured when they were captured. Because the female dragon had not eaten for many days, and she was injured again, she became very weak.
So, he decided to rescue the female dragon immediately. But it was too late, and two days later the female dragon returned to heaven, where it came from.
"This Liu Lei also has nothing to do, he secretly chopped the female dragon into meat puree, and also made it into a delicious meat sauce and personally presented it to Kong Jia." Yuan Xiye laughed when he said this: "Coincidentally, Kong Jia feels that it tastes very good after eating." So a few days later, he ordered Liu Lei to continue to offer this delicious meat sauce. That night, Liu Lei, who was afraid of the incident at the east window, secretly fled the palace. ”
Ai Xiaohai was convinced, he was really convinced, there was actually a monarch who had eaten dragon meat in ancient times. What does dragon meat taste like? He didn't interject either, and listened carefully to what Yuan Xiye said.
After learning the truth about Liu Lei's escape, Kong Jia was furious. On the one hand, he ordered people to hunt down Liu Lei with all his might, and he must arrest this kid back; On the other hand, continue to let people search for dragon breeding masters, but they can't starve the only remaining dragon to death!
Liu Lei didn't catch it, and it was gratifying to find another dragon breeder who existed in the world besides Liu Lei, called Shimen.
A few days later, the master general raised the male dragon in high spirits, and Kong Jia was very happy.
However, Shimen is also a person with a more upright personality. He often accused Kong Jia of making wrong remarks in raising dragons in person, which made Kong Jia very faceless. In the end, one time, the master criticized Kong Jia's erroneous remarks in public, which made Kong Jia angry, and he committed the following crimes again and again, and he simply didn't take this emperor in his eyes!
Whoever makes me unable to get off the stage, I will give him good fruit to eat! This time Kong Jia is really angry, and the consequences are very serious! So, Kong Jia, who was angry, then did something impulsive, killed Shimen, and then ordered someone to bury his body in the suburbs.
Liu Lei ran away, the master died, and since then, the dragon breeders in this world have become extinct.
But soon something surprising happened. That night, the male dragon ascended to the sky, and lightning and thunder roared in the sky, and the wind and rain raged. At that time, people were convinced of the theory of ghosts and gods, thinking that the spirit of the master was doing the trick, and they were scared out of illness that night.
Early the next morning, Kong Jia personally led the hundred officials to worship the master. Unexpectedly, the frightened and sick Kong Jia died in the car on the way back to the palace.
Ai Xiaohai listened to it thrillingly. Male and female dragons? How to train your dragon? Recorded in the annals? Is there really such a thing as a dragon in this world?
"This is the only time in history books that there is the most official account of dragons." Yuan Xiye said with great interest: "I guess, it shouldn't be a real dragon, maybe it's a crocodile or something, the ancients also had a name for crocodiles, called crocodiles, probably that's what they said......"
Ai Xiaohai asked in a daze: "What about the lightning and thunder, the wind and rain, and the ascension of the male dragon?" ”
"Exaggeration, artistic exaggeration." Yuan Xiye said with a smile.
No, it's by no means an exaggeration, this secret is only known to Ai Xiaohai himself. He knew that there was a man who could fly, and he could summon thunder and lightning...... That's himself......
"Anyway, whether it is a dragon tamer or a real dragon, it has never been seen in the official history since then, on the contrary, there are many records of this in the wild history, and there are many absurd stories about the dragon in the Kongjia period." Speaking of this, Yuan Xiye's face showed a smile again: "There is a story recorded in the wild history that says that after Liu Lei ran away, he came to a village that lived in seclusion, do you know what place it is?" Remember what I told you when you brought that female Ai jade elephant before? That's where the descendants of the ancient legendary spy girl Ai gathered. They were disgusted with serving the Xia Dynasty, and since then they have lived in seclusion from the world, never asking about the world again. ”
Then, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of water: "In order to avoid Kong Jia, Liu Lei changed his sex to the surname 'Ai' and became Ai Lei'......"
He suddenly laughed "haha": "Xiaohai, do you think you will be Liu Lei, ah, no, it should be the descendant of Ai Lei?" ”
Ai Xiaohai couldn't help but laugh out loud, this was the funniest joke he had heard today. (To be continued......)
