Chapter 4: The First Dragon
It turned out that Po Po Na and Zi Juan were originally ordinary creatures in the West Heavenly Spirit River, but because of the inspiration of the essence of the sun and the moon, the aura of heaven and earth, they gradually cultivated into human form. Po Po Na is proficient in medical science, and Zijuan has cultivated into a unique magic weapon - the Requiem Needle. Requiem and requiem the good and evil sexes, the needle eye into the flesh, chanting the mantra, you can save people; If you get a needle into the flesh and recite a mantra, you can hurt someone.
"I've seen Mother-in-law's medical skills, and I'll show you the power of your Requiem Needle!" I looked at the purple cuckoo with curiosity.
Zijuan pointed at her mother-in-law unhappily, "You ask her for it!" ”
I turned my head suspiciously to look at my mother-in-law, who was blushing with a small face, and pouted: "I didn't mean to lose your requiem needle, I just wanted to use it for an experiment, and you don't need to run away in a bad mood, and you almost died when you met a wild lion, right?" ”
I turned my head to look at Zijuan with my mother-in-law's gaze, and Zijuan looked angry, "You took my requiem requiem needle without my consent, this is stealing!" ”
"I was going to give it back to you when I ran out."
"But now you've lost it!"
"I saved your life, and we're evened out now."
"If you hadn't lost my Requiem Needle, how could I have been hurt by a wild lion?"
Mother-in-law and Zijuan, you don't say a word to each other, sit and argue, and stand on the stone, pointing at each other, so noisy that their faces are red and their necks are thick. I looked up and saw that they were arguing angrily, and the goodwill that I had brought to me because of my beauty when I first met had disappeared. When the two of them were about to fight, I stood up, parted the limbs they had touched, and said sharply, "Hey, I have something to say!" ”
The two girls inhaled and exhaled heavily, their eyes spewing flames that wanted to burn each other, and their mouths were reluctantly broken. I shouted, "Didn't you say let me take you in?" If you continue to quarrel like this, I will give an eviction order. ”
Mother-in-law and Zijuan were stunned, and Mother-in-law said: "Zijuan is unreasonable, even if the requiem needle is not lost, he may not be able to deal with the wild lion, he is not an ordinary beast at all!" ”
I sighed: "Mother-in-law, if you take away Zijuan's requiem requiem needle without her consent, this kind of behavior is not right, it is no different from stealing." ”
"But I'm going to give it back to her when I'm done with it." Mother-in-law pleaded in a low voice.
Zijuan immediately responded: "Then you should pay it back!" I have cultivated the Requiem Needle for hundreds of years before I refined it, and if I say I lose it, I will lose it! As soon as Zijuan's mouth was pursed, tears fell. The mother-in-law was speechless for a while, stunned. It can be seen that the mother-in-law is not comfortable when she loses Zijuan's unique magic weapon, so I hurriedly said: "If you want me to say that you have cultivated together and have been together for hundreds of years, you are also good sisters, don't affect your feelings for a small needle." Since the Requiem Needle was lost by her mother-in-law, she is responsible for finding it back! ”
Mother-in-law hurriedly jumped down from the rock, "I'll look for it." ”
"I'll go too!" Purple Juan catches up with her.
Looking at the backs of the two walking side by side, I had an idea, and I was idle, so it was better to accompany them to find the requiem needle.
According to her mother-in-law's recollection, that day she grinded and prepared two highly toxic herbs together, hoping to dissolve the toxicity of these two herbs by poisoning and poisoning, and refining the medicinal properties. She was almost three feet on the ground, but there was no trace of the requiem needle. I went to the place where my mother-in-law was refining medicine that day and surveyed the terrain. This is a flat land in the upper reaches of the Ling River, there is nothing special about the landform, except that there are no flowers and grasses, bare, bare gray dry land.
Mother-in-law pointed to a big round stone on the ground and said, "I developed the herb on this stone, when I pinched the requiem needle in my fingers, I poked it into the herb, and it was gone, I broke all the herbs and didn't find it......" Mother-in-law Nabi gestured, with a look of disbelief on her face.
Zijuan and I circled around the rock, could it be that there was some mystery hidden in this stone? I asked the purple cuckoo to cast a spell to remove the stones, and the stones moved away, leaving a circle of damp shadows on the ground. I tested the wetland with my feet and noticed that the soil was a little soft, so I crouched down and looked closely. Zijuan and Po Po Na also came over, just as our three heads were gathered together, the round wetland suddenly fell down, and a big hole appeared in the ground, and I only felt that my body was instantly weightless, so I fell down with Zi Juan and Po Na.
The sound of the wind was whispering in my ears, accompanied by a cool and chilly tingling sensation. After a long time, the three of us finally ** in a lake. The water splashed into the air, and I lay on my back in the lake and saw a circular light shining through the high hole. This abyss is deep enough, and if we hadn't all three of us falling into the lake, we would have been crushed to pieces. The three of us grabbed each other's hands and swam awkwardly towards the shore, and by the light of the cave we saw the valley covered with damp green plants. His hand was climbing on the shore, and suddenly he saw a giant crocodile standing on the shore. The forelimbs are standing upright off the ground, with their chins held high, their mouths wide open, and their eyes wide and staring straight at us. Mother-in-law screamed, and the three of us shrank into the lake at the same time. In the silent abyss, only the sound of the three of us gasping violently and the sound of spring water from the stone wall** could be heard. Zijuan and Mother-in-law each held one of my hands, and I could clearly feel the trembling of the two of them. I subconsciously squeezed the hands of the two of them, took a deep breath and confronted the behemoth in front of me. The giant crocodile was tall and fierce, but it was always motionless, and I confronted it until my body became numb before I realized that something was wrong. I looked up at its body, and finally saw a thick silver rod on top of its head. Sticking straight into its skull, it had already killed it.
"Zijuan, look, is that your requiem needle?"
Zijuan also saw the silver stick above the crocodile's head in the direction of my finger, and she exclaimed, and the requiem needle seemed to recognize the owner's voice, and pulled it out with a "whoosh" and flew towards Zijuan. The purple cuckoo happily stretched out her hand to greet her, like a mother welcoming back a lost child. The requiem needle instantly transformed into the size of an embroidery needle in the air, and fell lightly on the palm of the purple juan, shining with silver light. The silver light made the purple juan's whole face shine. Mother-in-law also cheered excitedly: "Great, find the Requiem Needle, Zijuan can finally forgive me." ”
As soon as Mother-in-law's words fell, she heard a loud bang on the head of the giant crocodile, and a rain of blood poured down on her head. I felt like a hail crashing all over my body, and I shivered a few times in a row.
"It's crocodile blood, it's cold blood!" Zijuan exclaimed, "Mother-in-law, you quickly use your housekeeping skills to stop the bleeding!" ”
When it was too late, the mother-in-law waved her hands, and the four beams of blue, purple, pink and white burst out together, the blood rain stopped, and the entire valley floor was filled with a heavy bloody atmosphere. The giant crocodile's body fell to the ground with a bang. There was a loud "bang", and the valley floor shook. The three of us looked at each other in horror, only to see that Po Na and Zijuan were damp and bloody, and I thought that I was too, so I proposed to take a bath in the lake. The three of them rushed into the bottom of the lake, the lake water was cool, and they washed away the filth. After taking a bath, I walked towards the shore with support, and suddenly felt that a round thing slipped under my feet, and I hurriedly helped Zijuan.
"Beware!" Zijuan and Mother-in-law spoke in unison.
I put my index finger on my lips and "shh ”
We brought the crocodile eggs back to the lower reaches of the Spirit River where I lived, and took care of them. Because the poor little crocodile lost its mother before it was born, we pity and love it. And Zijuan and Mother-in-law are full of guilt for the death of the crocodile mother, one because their magic weapon is a murder weapon, and the other because of the failure of their experiment and accidentally injured their lives. Although I didn't mean to hurt, I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. Crocodile hatching depends on sunlight and the heat of weeds fermenting wet, we put crocodile eggs in the grass on the bank of the Ling River every day, so that it can absorb the heat of the sun and let it hatch with the heat of fermentation in the moist grass. Zijuan and Po Po Na were looking forward to the baby crocodile that was about to be born, and I had already chosen a name for it: the First Dragon.
Regarding the sex of the first dragon, Zijuan and Po Po Na often have fierce quarrels. Mother-in-law hopes that this will be a little female crocodile, gentle and peaceful, and will not cause trouble; The purple cuckoo hopes that this is a small male crocodile, and when the wild lion attacks again, the wild lion will be afraid of the defense of the small male crocodile. I was also curious about the gender of the primordial dragon, and I couldn't tell Zijuan and Po Po Na that the sex of the primordial dragon could be artificially controlled, and if it was placed in a sunny place with a high temperature, it would probably hatch out of a small male crocodile; If you put it in a low shade with low temperatures, it will most likely be a baby female crocodile. The temperature at which the hatch determines the sex of the young crocodile, a secret that I didn't tell to Zijuan and Po Po Na until the day the first dragon broke out of its shell. And I kept this secret just to wait for a natural fate. What kind of primordial dragon will God give me? With the mentality of hunting for curiosity, I ushered in the day when the first dragon broke through the eggshell and was reborn with Granny Zijuan.
On that day, the sky was clear, the sun was fine, and the entire bank of the Spirit River was full of auspiciousness. Zijuan and my mother-in-law and I lay on the grass, staring intently at the snow-white egg, only to hear the eggshell crack with a "bang", and the hearts of the three of us jumped to our throats. The sound of heartbeats lingers in each of our ears, and we hold our breath to witness the birth of a new life. I saw that the eggshell broke open as fast as possible, and a black and shiny young crocodile showed its delicate head, and a pair of innocent and pitiful eyes looked at us drippingly, and each of us had tenderness on our faces. The girl's bosom is filled with maternal love.
"First Dragon, First Dragon, First Dragon......" everyone murmured movingly.
