Chapter 604: The Dragon King of the Yellow River (Part II)

Wu Meiniang nodded, still hugging Taiping tightly at this time, Taiping stopped crying at this time, but she was still scared.

At this time, she was hugged tightly by the queen mother, Wu Meiniang patted the little girl's back, the little girl was better, seeing Chen Fang, Taiping broke free from the arms of the queen mother, and threw herself into Chen Fang's arms at once, Chen Fang hugged Taiping, until the local officials in Luoyang led more than a dozen old fishermen into Luoyang Palace.

Originally, Chen Fang wanted to let go of the peace, but the little girl didn't let go at this time, Chen Fang could only hug it tightly, and then led Wu Meiniang in one hand in front of the dozen old fishermen. When the dozen or so old fishermen saw the queen, they naturally all knelt on the ground at once, shouting Chitose.

"Pingshen, today I let you recognize a monster that haunts the Yellow River."

At this time, these dozen old fishermen got up, followed the queen with the local officials in Luoyang, and came to a palace square.

At this time, there is a simple sled here, there is a strange fish lying on it, the strange fish is more than two meters, the whole body is dark, glowing with cold light, there is a pair of small tentacles in the belly of the fish, like a human hand, but only three toes, which is also the only place where the whole body of this strange fish is not covered by scale armor.

At this time, this pair of short and thin tentacles drooped, and it was extremely incongruous with the body of the strange fish covered with thick scale armor.

The dozen or so old fishermen had just approached the strange fish, and several of them immediately changed their faces.

"Iron-headed Tiger! The Dragon King of the Yellow River, who killed the Dragon King of the Yellow River? ”

An old fisherman couldn't help but shout, and then his legs went limp, and he knelt directly in front of the improvised sled.

Chen Fang's face changed slightly, looking at the dozen or so old fishermen, obviously they knew this strange fish, but the title of the Dragon King of the Yellow River, what was going on.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is just a strange fish in the Yellow River, what the Dragon King of the Yellow River!"

At this time, the Luoyang officials behind him listened to the words of the old fisherman and reprimanded him fiercely, for fear that the old fisherman would be ignorant and provoke the queen.

"What the hell is this?"

"Back to the horse, this humble position knows a thing or two, there were a few years before the Yellow River after the winter, when the river thawed, this strange fish would occasionally appear, in the past this strange fish always attacked the fishing boats in the river, and later someone found that as long as the fresh fish were fed to the river, the strange fish would not take the initiative to attack the fishing boats."

"After a long time, the general local fishermen will feed the fresh fish when they see it, and they also give this strange fish a title of the Dragon King of the Yellow River, and there are rumors that this strange fish is sent by the Dragon King, who does evil things, this strange fish will attack whom, if you do too much evil, the Dragon Lord will not let Luoyang here be smooth weather."

Chen Fang listened to it and felt that this was mostly superstition, but at this time it was a feudal era, and superstition was normal.

Later generations often talk about feudal superstition, and to defeat feudal superstition, we must believe in science.

At this time, it was the feudal era, and people's understanding of nature at this time was very shallow, and many things were not understood, and many myths and legends were naturally derived.

And superstition is sometimes used by the ruling class as a tool of domination in this era. In this era, science is not promoted and superstition is overthrown.

"Where does the name Iron-headed Tiger come from?"

"Back to the words of the horse master, this matter, or the previous dynasty, when Emperor Yang moved the capital to Luoyang, that year in the river this strange fish is abnormally much, Emperor Yang sent an army to hunt this strange fish, but the scales of this fish are extremely hard, even if the armor-piercing crossbow used for armor piercing can not be shot, and the army that went to hunt will be angry with this strange fish, at that time dozens of boats in the Yellow River were bitten by this strange fish, and the soldiers who fell into the water were all bitten and devoured by this strange fish, and there was no survivor. Emperor Yang gave this strange fish the name of an iron-headed tiger. ”

"At that time, the tragic situation of the Luoyang section of the Yellow River was so terrible that the water of the Yellow River was dyed red. After that year, there was not a drop of rain in the Luoyang area for three years, and the title of the Dragon King of the Yellow River was also called from that time. ”

Chen Fang listened, and felt that the Yellow River area had not seen a drop of rain for three years, and it was just a coincidence that Emperor Yang asked people to hunt the Yellow River Dragon King.

Chen Fang doesn't believe in these things very much, of course, after experiencing this kind of thing, Chen Fang naturally doesn't fully believe in science.

If everything is explained by science, how can the soul pass through this kind of thing?

"Why did Niangniang Sheng drive to Luoyang, and no one mentioned this matter as a reminder?"

"Hui Ma Ye, since the establishment of this dynasty, it has been several decades, this strange fish has not appeared in the Yellow River, and many people have forgotten the existence of this strange fish. The old fisherman kept this matter secretive, so no one reminded the mother that this was our negligence, and asked the horse master to punish the crime. ”

"That's it, I don't blame you for this, okay, let's all go down!"

"Dare to ask, why did this strange fish appear in Luoyang Palace? Who hunted it? ”

"I killed it!"

"The master of the horse is mighty, the master of the horse is really the first god of war in my Tang Dynasty!"

In front of Chen, all the Luoyang officials knelt on the ground and shouted the god of war, Chen Fang really wanted to kick one person and one butt.

God of War, your sister's God of War, the master is lucky, a Tang knife was directly inserted into the throat of this strange fish, otherwise where would he kill this strange fish.

As for the scales on this strange fish, which even the Dingyu red sleeve knife couldn't cut, Chen Fang estimated that he couldn't cut the fish corpse with the Tang knife at this time.

Here are the officials in Luoyang chanting the god of war, while the old fishermen over there are looking at Chen Fang at this time, but their eyes are horrified.

slaughtered the Dragon King of the Yellow River, and Luoyang was about to have another catastrophe.

Chen Fang naturally saw the expressions of these old fishermen, and also understood that these people had experienced the drought in those three years, and they were all afraid when they saw this iron-headed tiger being killed.

"Well, you don't need to panic. There will be no disaster in the Luoyang area, and even if there is, the current prince is benevolent, and the people around Luoyang will survive the disaster year smoothly. Let's all go down! ”

The officials and fishermen retreated, and at this time, the matter of the iron-headed tiger and the Dragon King of the Yellow River was over. Now that the origin of this thing is known, there is nothing mysterious about it.

At this time, Taiping still let Chen Fang hold her, and the little girl was unwilling to leave Chen Fang's arms for a moment.

Chen Fang hugged Taiping, and it was not until the afternoon that the girl's mood stabilized a lot, and she was willing to get out of Chen Fang's arms, but she was unwilling to leave Chen Fang's body.

This is really scared today, I just want to find someone to rely on at this time, and for Taiping, maybe Chen Fang is the most worthy of her to rely on at this time!

After letting go of Taiping, Chen Fang asked a guard to take a steel knife, and at this time, he slashed at the corpse of the iron-headed tiger a few times, but there was no reaction at all, but the blade collapsed in a few places.

"The scale armor on this strange fish is too hard, if this is made into armor, it is a treasure weapon for self-defense."

Wu Meiniang has been by Chen Fang's side today, and after listening to Chen Fang's words at this time, she nodded.
