Chapter 680: The True Dragon of Kunlun Mountain
Although Mike didn't believe in the ancient legends of China, the Asian-faced mercenary who was traveling with him suddenly looked around with a stern expression.
And Alice, the blonde beauty beside her, curiously asked about the story of 'Wei Zheng slaying the Dragon King'.
Everyone didn't want to explain, but the fat man got excited and explained a few words softly.
According to legend, during the period of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City was in drought for many years, but there was no rain at all, and Yuan Tiangang calculated that there would be rain at three o'clock at noon the next day, three o'clock deep in the city, and seven o'clock deep outside the city.
The Dragon King of Jinghe, who was in charge of the clouds and rain, didn't believe it, he turned into a white-clothed Xiucai and made a bet with Yuan Tiangang, if Yuan Tiangang calculated correctly, he would give Yuan Tiangang a lot of silver, and if Yuan Tiangang miscalculated, he smashed Yuan Tiangang's fortune-telling booth.
When the Dragon King of Jinghe returned home, the Heavenly Palace sent down a holy decree, and the holy decree was really clearly written: the next day when the clouds were spread, when the thunder was moving, it rained at noon, and the rain did not stop from time to time. The depth of the raindrops is exactly the same as what Yuan Tiangang said! In order to smash Yuan Tiangang's fortune-telling booth, the Dragon King of Jinghe tampered with the holy decree without permission, changing the three points deep inside the city to seven points deep, and the seven points deep outside the city to three points deep.
As a result, heavy rains fell in the city, drowning many Li people, but only three points fell outside the city, the fields were still dry, the seedlings died, and the crops were not harvested.
Someone told the Jade Emperor about this incident, and the Jade Emperor was furious and issued a decree to behead the Dragon King of Jinghe to show the public. The Dragon King of Jinghe knew that he was finished, and he hurriedly begged Yuan Tiangang for help, and Yuan Tiangang revealed that this time the Jade Emperor sent Wei Zheng, a courtier of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, to supervise and kill the Dragon King, and if the Dragon King of Jinghe could make Tang Taizong intercede, he might be saved.
So the Dragon King of Jinghe hurriedly went to the palace to ask to see Tang Taizong, and Li Shimin remembered that he was the founding father of the country, and he was allowed to be exempted from the death penalty. The next day, Li Shimin designed to invite Prime Minister Wei Zheng, who was executed by the prisoner, to enter the palace to play chess, and the time for execution had come, Wei Zheng had no plan to get out, so he could only sleep soundly at the desk. Li Shimin thought that he had saved the Dragon King of Jinghe, but he didn't expect that Wei Zheng had already gone up to the Dragon Platform in his dream and killed the Dragon King of Jinghe.
As a result, it has become a taboo for the dragon clan.
The fat man jumped on the white jade platform as he spoke, pointed to the handle of the knife that Mike pressed just now, and said, "You see, this thing is quite similar, and even the guillotine is matched." Hey? ”
Suddenly, the fat man let out a soft sigh and said with a puzzled expression: "What the hell is going on, this stone platform is bubbling out of the water!" ”
"There's water?"
Everyone was also confused, and hurriedly went up, and sure enough, a steady stream of warm water was emerging from the groove under the stone platform at this moment, like an underground hot spring.
Although the Kunlun Mountains are not the exact birthplace of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, both the Tanggula Mountains and the Bayankala Mountains are considered to be an extension of the Kunlun dragon vein, and there is groundwater in the cave, which is not surprising to everyone.
What's more, in terms of feng shui theory, the mountains and rivers are the real treasures of feng shui.
Of course, the people who built the tombs had their own way of waterproofing.
Therefore, when everyone saw the groundwater flowing out, after a short period of surprise, they were not too shocked.
However, Lai Zi suddenly shouted at the fat man: "Big fat brother, hurry, quickly pull out the guillotine!" ”
"What's wrong, Yoriko?" The fat man asked puzzled.
"I don't have time to explain that much to you! Quick, pull out the guillotine. With that, Lai Zi pushed away the onlookers, and pulled out the sharp guillotine with the fat man, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't pull it out.
"Damn, it's really hard enough, Laizi, you can make it clear!" The fat man didn't move for a long time, sat on the stone platform with a tired butt, turned around and shouted at everyone: "Hey, Zhang Quede, you guys came over to help, the fat man is tired, and I don't know what crazy Lai Zi is......"
"Laizi, did you find anything?" Still lady Na was attentive and quickly asked.
"Do you feel that the temperature in this cave is a little weird?" Raiko's face was very ugly.
"You mean the water that comes out?" Zhang Meng, who didn't care about it, also looked ashen after hearing Laizi's words, walked up to the stone platform, and asked Laizi: "What else is written on these Sanskrit and Mongolian texts?" ”
"To be exact, these are not Sanskrit and Mongolian scripts of later generations, so I can only understand a small part of them, but they seem to have a history of dragons in addition to the dragon platform...... Laizi said.
"Dragons? It's this legendary stuff again. Mike seems to have forgotten the lessons of the Kunlun avalanche before, and his words are full of discrimination against these distant legends.
"Shut up!" Zhang Meng, who rarely clashed directly with the Americans, suddenly responded with a word of Mike.
"Boy, you have to figure out who you're talking to." was reprimanded by Zhang Meng in front of everyone, Mike's face suddenly pulled down, and now he was almost at the main tomb, and he had avoided avalanches and robbery holes, and their dependence on Zhang Meng and others was not so strong.
"the Yankees!" Although the fat man didn't know why Laizi was so nervous, the fat man, who trusted his son's intuition, also knew that there might be danger, and immediately scolded angrily: "If you didn't press down the handle of this knife with a lot of things, would it be able to flow out of the groundwater?" ”
"Isn't it groundwater? It's a natural phenomenon, and it's not dangerous. "Mike looks at the fat man like an idiot.
"Get out of your mother......" Before the fat man finished scolding, he felt a bite on the back of his buttocks, and a chill suddenly arose, he jumped up all of a sudden, turned around and scolded: "Grass, who pinched the fat man's buttocks, playing hooligan!" ”
Before anyone could respond, he saw Lai Zi and Zhang Meng pointing to his back with panicked expressions.
And Mike, who had been taunting, was suddenly silenced and glared at the fat man in surprise.
"it!" The fat man lowered his voice, took a deep breath, and suddenly ran towards Lai Zi and Zhang Meng. Judging from the expressions of the people in front of him, he was sure that he must be a fierce beast behind him, but he didn't have time to look, and running for his life was the first task.
As the fat man moved, the thing hidden in the darkness suddenly let out a roar that resounded through the cave.
Then, in all corners of the cave, there were also bursts of roars.
"Whew! Oh! Oh! ”
Hearing the roar behind him, the fat man glanced at it secretly, and one couldn't help but almost kneel on the ground: "Oh my God, this is a dragon?" ”
Dragons are creatures from ancient mythology, and both Taoists and Buddhists have stories of dragon kings rainfalling. Of course, there are also modern scientists who write that the dragon is an unknown creature, but it has been mythologized by later generations. However, no matter which way you put it, this mythical creature has long become the totem of Chinese civilization and has a unique position in the hearts of all Chinese.
Or even a kind of mental oppression.
So when Zhang Meng and the others found out that it was the real dragon of Kunlun Mountain who attacked them, they were also a little overwhelmed for a while, and even forgot to resist.
As the underground water flowed through, a small burst of heat rose in the cave, and the ice on the surface of the cave fell down like bread baked puff pastry.
At the same time, Zhang Meng found that in the falling ice, there were also things similar to 'dragons', and as the ice shattered, these things also woke up like hibernating snakes ushering in spring.
These 'dragons' are of different sizes, the whole body is yellowish and white, with two legs in front and back, and a whole white hair like horse's hair on the back, some up to a meter long, and some tens of centimeters, at this moment they are carrying dragon horns, and their eyes are staring at everyone with blue light. As soon as someone makes the first move, they will attack!
Fortunately, the Americans, led by Mike, do not have this sense of psychological constraints, and they have long been prepared when facing these 'dragons'.
But the fat man touched the bitten buttocks with palpitations, and scolded secretly: "What's wrong with the bite, the scar that just formed is good now, and it's broken again, hey, Laizi, these 'dragons' won't be poisonous, right?" ”
"Don't worry, it won't." Zhang Meng looked vigilant, and confirmed with Lai Zi: "Lai Zi, could these so-called 'dragons' be the Kunlun cave newts discovered a few years ago?" ”
"It's like!" This time unexpectedly, it was an old American man from Bogut who responded to Zhang Meng, and I saw him spitting out clear Chinese and repeatingly: "But it cannot be ruled out that they are mysterious species that disappeared thousands of years ago......"
"That is, the dragon in the mouth of you Chinese!" The old man in the United States said excitedly with trekking poles.
