Chapter 15 Jade Dragon Chang'e returns to the West Sea, and there are many interesting anecdotes about the cycle of life and death

Section 16 Jade Dragon Transforms into 'Bald Tail Lao Li'

[Narrator] It is said that after the marriage between the Heavenly Court Oiran Chang'e and the Marshal of the Jade Dragon, they chose to travel on their honeymoon, and the queen mother asked for leave to take the opportunity of the honeymoon to visit the West Sea to visit the parents of the Jade Dragon and the subordinates of the Jade Dragon when he was in charge of Dongting Lake.

How can you see a rainbow without wind and rain! How can you produce a jade dragon without tempering! There is a dragon king temple, where there is a Guanyin Pavilion!

Chang'e's mother-in-law and Jade Dragon's mother-Lulu, in the 'Commander Suite' of the Xihai Dragon Palace Guest House, told Chang'e about the two reincarnations of life and death before the Jade Dragon was tempered in Tianzigang!

"It really is! This decision of Yulong's father (Ao Yan) made me cry for days. As the saying goes, sons are the flesh of their mother's heart. The jade dragon is the heart of my dragon mother, and the jade dragon father (Ao Run) insists on turning my heart into the heart of mortals! Do you think I can not be heartbroken! But the father of the jade dragon (Ao Yan) said: How can you see a rainbow without wind and rain! How can you produce a jade dragon without tempering! Our dragon clan is the 'husband' in charge! As a dragon woman, I can only agree with the decision of Yulong's father (Ao Yan), and watch as Yulong 'turns into dragon blood' and reincarnates in the mortal world! Jade Dragon's mother, Lulu, said to Chang'e with affection.

"Maybe it's because Jade Dragon was born with a rough fate! The Jade Dragon's first reincarnation of life and death was unsuccessful. Another reason for this is that Yulong's father (Ao Yan) didn't want mortal male semen to enter Yulong's body, so he chose an unmarried woman as his mother. Although he was born from the womb of a female mortal, he still maintains the 'bloodline' of the dragon! He still works for the people of the world as a dragon! Guanyin Bodhisattva said softly to Chang'e.

That's why. The Jade Dragon's father, the Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Yan, had the move to carry out the second and third (the golden-scaled red carp in the tomb of Tianzigang had been honed for 50 years) life and death! That's an afterword. Leave it at that.

"The Jade Dragon's first reincarnation of life and death was unsuccessful. But the Jade Dragon is the first case of being transformed from a dragon to a human! He was the first dragon of the dragon clan to evolve into a human! Jade Dragon's mother, Lulu, said to Chang'e with affection.

In the second year of Yulong's "fighting competition" on the banks of the Taizi River to form the "Benxi Water Cave", Yulong's father (Ao Run) reincarnated Yulong into the belly of a woman surnamed Li in a small fishing village on the eastern coast of the West (Bohai) Sea. Yulong's mother for the first reincarnation was a woman surnamed Li Yuhuan in a small fishing village on the eastern coast of the West (Bohai) Sea. Guanyin Bodhisattva said softly to Chang'e.

In a small fishing village on the eastern coast of the West (Bohai) Sea, there lives a family surnamed Li. There are only two brothers and sisters in the family, and the elder brother's name is Li Gangding; My sister's name is Li Yuhuan; The brother and sister lived a poor life by fishing and growing vegetables.

One day, his brother Li Gangding went out to sea to fish, and his sister Li Yuhuan saw that it was a good weather, so she took some old clothes to the beach to Xian. By noon, she was a little tired, so she lay down on the reef by the sea and fell asleep. Yulong's father (Ao Yan) took advantage of Li Yuhuan's sleep. Transform the jade dragon into an 'embryo' and transplant it into her womb. After Li Yuhuan woke up, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach and was a little swollen, so he packed up and went home.

Since then, Li Yuhuan's belly has grown bigger day by day, as if she is pregnant, so scared that she hides in the house all day and does not dare to go out, nor dare to tell others. After almost ten months, one night, Li Yuhuan really gave birth. The moment of childbirth. Suddenly dark clouds rolled in the sky, and lightning flashed and thundered. The rain poured like a downpour. But Li Yuhuan gave birth to not a normal baby, but a little black dragon. This frightened Li Yuhuan. She wanted to throw it away, but she couldn't. Who is a mother who wants to throw away the flesh that falls from herself! So she tried to breastfeed the little black dragon. Unexpectedly, the little black dragon's mouth was very strong. As soon as he sucked it, his mother Li Yuhuan fainted. When his mother Li Yuhuan woke up, the little black dragon was gone. After that, the little black dragon returned to his mother's arms every night to feed, and then left after eating. He always comes and goes with a gust of wind and rain.

A few months later, Li Yuhuan's brother Li Gangding came back from fishing, and Li Yuhuan told him about giving birth to a little black dragon. After hearing this, his brother Li Gangding didn't say anything, so he went to the whetstone in the backyard to sharpen his knife. After nightfall, the little black dragon came back to feed. Just as he was sucking his mother Li Yuhuan to faint, Li Yuhuan's brother Li Gangding suddenly broke into the house and aimed at the little black dragon's body with a kitchen knife. At the moment when Li Gangding's hand raised his knife and fell (in an instant), a flash of lightning suddenly flashed, followed by a thunderclap that shook the sky and the earth, and the little black dragon escaped with the thunder and lightning. This lightning is the help of Guanyin Bodhisattva! The Bodhisattva has always paid attention to the whole process of the Jade Dragon's reincarnation. When Li Yuhuan's elder brother Li Gangding Huo Huohuo sharpened his knife, the Bodhisattva sensed that the Jade Dragon was in danger! And protect in the shadows! When Li Yuhuan's brother Li Gangding chased him outside the door, the little black dragon had long since disappeared. Li Gangding returned to the house and lit the lamp to take a look, and it turned out that the knife only cut off a short section of the dragon's tail. From that night on, the little black dragon never returned.

Later, fishermen said that they had seen a small black dragon in the North Sea. Because, the little black dragon was killed by his mother Li Yuhuan's brother Li Gangding; That is, the uncle of the little black dragon cut off a section of his tail, so people called it 'Bald Tail Lao Li'. When the fishermen who were fishing at sea encountered danger, the 'bald tail Lao Li' rescued the fishermen again and again.

Later, the 'bald tail Lao Li' - the little black dragon became the master of Heilongjiang.

The original name of Heilongjiang was not called Heilongjiang, and there lived a white evil dragon in the river. It entrenched in the great river, doing many evils, and the people along the river did not worship well, and it called flooding, flooding farmland and washing away houses. The common people really couldn't stand this kind of suffering, and most of them moved and fled. Only a few families of refugees who fled the famine in Shandong still live here.

In a simple thatched hut by the river, there lives a fisherman from Shandong. One evening, while he was cooking on the fire, he heard someone behind him, 'Uncle, it's getting dark.' I want to spend the night with you. ’

The old fisherman looked back. Standing behind him was a young man in a green coat. His dark face was studded with a pair of large, piercing eyes. Speaks with a thick (thick) Shandong accent.

"Stay! No one can go out with a bed. Listen to the accent, are you from Shandong? We're fellow countrymen. I am from the Yimeng Mountains of Shandong. The old fisherman said with a smile.

"I'm from Jiaozhou Bay, Shandong." The lad said.

The old fisherman was very pleased when he heard this, so he sat down with the young man and chatted with him, and the two became closer and closer.

After breakfast the next day, the young man said that he was going out to do some errands, and the old fisherman asked him to come back in the evening. The young man agreed, and walked to the highest cliff to the east.

The old fisherman thought as he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. This boy can really eat. Last night, he had prepared three days' worth of food, but he ate it all in one meal. Do more today. Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a thunderclap in the air in the east, and when I looked up, I saw dark clouds rolling on the cliff of the east mountain, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain coming into the sky. Looking at the river again, I saw two clouds, one black and one white, up and down, you come and go. It seems that the fight is inseparable! The old fisherman felt that the situation was very strange, so he put down his work. Head straight to the cliff to the east. At this time, the sun was already in the west, and the two clouds fought in the air for a few more rounds, and the white clouds landed on the water. Black clouds fell on the cliff not far from the old fisherman. The old fisherman didn't blink his eyes, and he really saw a dark-faced stick boy coming out of the black clouds! The young man was sweaty, panting and said to the old fisherman, "Uncle, you have heard the legend of the bald tail Lao Li in Shandong!" I'm the "bald-tailed black dragon". Ever since my uncle cut off his tail, I've been living in the North Sea. Protecting the villagers who are fishing. Recently, I have heard many villagers who have returned to their hometowns in Shandong from here crying that the white dragon entrenched in this great river has murdered the people with all its violation, and I want to drive it away so that the people along the river can come back to live. You've seen it, and today I fought with it for a day, and I didn't win or lose. Because, it has lived here for many years, with the help of the water tribe, and there is food when it is hungry; I'm from a foreign country, no one to help, hungry and without food"

"So, how can we help you?" The old fisherman said eagerly.

"Tomorrow at noon, I will fight the white dragon again. You call the villagers to stand on the stone cliff, and when you see the black water in the river coming up, it is me, and you call the villagers to throw away the food. When I saw the white water in the river turning up, it was the white dragon, beckoning the villagers to throw stones quickly. In this way, the white dragon escaped with injuries; The worst is to die in the river. ”

The old fisherman listened to the words of the black guy and mobilized the people along the river overnight, and the women steamed steamed buns and steamed buns at home; So the man went to the neighborhood to carry stones. At noon on the second day, the old fishermen and the common people along the river came to the cliff to watch the battle. The cliffs are filled with rocks of various sizes. The women brought hundreds of catties of steamed buns and steamed buns.

At noon, dark clouds rolled in the sky and the ground was stormy. I saw a wave of black water rolling on the river from west to east; I saw a fierce stream of white water coming from east to west. When two streams of water come together, a fast-moving 'whirlpool' is immediately created. This fast-moving 'whirlpool' turns up a surging column of water, up and down, and the sound of the waves is deafening. After about an hour of fierce fighting, I saw the water column fall to the surface of the river. The villagers who watched the battle and cheered clearly saw the black water rolling in the eastern section of the river; The western part of the river is tumbling with white water. The villagers knew that it was the young man 'Bald Tail Black Dragon' who was tumbling in the black water, and it was the evil dragon that was originally entrenched in the river that was tumbling in the white water. When the old fisherman saw this, he called out to the women to throw baskets of steamed buns into the tumbling black water; The men threw stones, harpoons, etc., into the boiling water.

When the villagers threw steamed buns, stones, and harpoons into the tumbling river, the water column in the river went up and down several times. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a column of water dozens of feet high was stirred up on the surface of the river, as if even the rocks on the cliff were about to collapse. At this time, I saw a white cloud rising from the river, rolling up with a gray mist, drifting towards the direction of Wudalianchi. It turned out that the vicious white dragon couldn't resist it, and fled in embarrassment.

The river gradually calmed down. The river flows gently eastward. The villagers waited on the cliff for a long, long time, but they never saw the dark-faced stick boy surface. The old fisherman returned home with the joy of victory and gratitude to the young man, but he was not seen that night.

At noon the next day, the old fisherman thought, this time is fine. The evil white dragon ran away. We planted crops on some wasteland by the river. No more worries about flooding. After lunch, the old fisherman took a pickaxe and went to reclaim the wasteland, and when he opened the door, he saw a swarthy stick boy standing outside the door with a smile.

"Uncle, you want to reclaim wasteland to grow crops, how can you do this kind of heavy work when you are old. Besides, you've worked hard to help me defeat the Evil White Dragon in the past few days. How can you do heavy physical work anymore? You can rest at home, and you can leave the matter of reclamation to me! The swarthy-faced boy helped the old fisherman to his house, turned and ran to the south bank of the river.

The old fisherman loaded a bag of cigarettes in the hut and smoked and thought: Since this dark-faced stick boy is 'Bald-tailed Old Li - Black Dragon', how can he reclaim the wasteland? Besides, he has no tools, and how can he reclaim the wasteland? No, I'll have to check it out. So, the old fisherman walked to the big meadow by the river with his pickaxe on his shoulder. The old fisherman walked not far away, and saw that the original big meadow was full of smoke and dust, and the clouds were rising. I saw a black dragon with a bald tail, using its horns and dragon claws. The big trees were uprooted one by one, and thousands of acres of fertile land were reclaimed in a blink of an eye. The old fisherman was surprised and delighted, but did not dare to alarm the black dragon, and quietly went back.

The old fisherman was surprised and delighted, but did not dare to alarm the black dragon, and quietly went back.

At dinner, the dark-faced stick boy, 'Bald-tailed Old Lee Black Dragon', returned. He said, "Uncle, I have reclaimed thousands of sounds. Tomorrow you will distribute the land to the people along the river! ”

"Good! I've worked hard for you. 'Bald Tail Lao Li'! The old fisherman said with a smile on his face.

"Uncle, since you know my background, I also ask you to send a message to the villagers in Shandong: The evil white dragon has been defeated by me, and this river will be under my jurisdiction from now on. The villagers will never have to worry about flooding in the future. The wasteland I opened is enough for thousands of fellow villagers to grow crops. The little black dragon said to the old man.

"Good! Good! Good! "In order to commemorate the 'bald-tailed Lao Li' who beat away the white dragon, from which day on, the river that was originally entrenched by the white dragon was called Heilongjiang!

"Uncle, I still have a matter on my mind, during the Qingming Festival in the past few years, I want to go back to Shandong to sweep my mother's grave every year. But I was worried that the road would bring too much wind and rain to the villagers, so I didn't dare to go back. You can send a message to the villagers in Shandong and tell them to clean my mother's grave regularly. In return, I shelter the villagers in Shandong every year, and the grains are abundant! "The 'bald tail Lao Li' of the jade dragon is said to the old fisherman and the old man.

Chang'e's mother-in-law and Jade Dragon's mother-Lulu, in the 'Commander Suite' of the Xihai Dragon Palace Guest House, told Chang'e about the two reincarnations of life and death before the Jade Dragon was tempered in Tianzigang!

"After the jade dragon experienced the first cycle of life and death from a dragon to a human, the second reincarnation completed the whole process of successfully evolving from a dragon to a human," Guanyin said to Chang'e in a soft voice.

[Narrator] After seeing that the Thirteen Princes of the Jade Dragon had failed to 'change from a dragon to a human' for the first time, Yi Nian summoned the Jade Dragon back to the Dragon Palace and decided to carry out the second reincarnation of the Thirteen Princes of the Jade Dragon!

"When Yulong's father (Ao Yan) told me that he was going to carry out the second reincarnation of life and death of Yulong, my mood was not as painful as the first time! Because, the Jade Dragon has been able to turn danger into a disaster several times, and all the Bodhisattvas have taken care of it, and my heart is relatively wide! One day, Yulong's father (Ao Yan) said to me: Old Dragon (Tai) Po, Yulong is still mainly based on dragons this time, and the time to become a human is not long, next time I will let him be a mortal through and through, and ask him to marry a wife and have children in the mortal world, and go through the whole process of a mortal man! After listening to this, I said to him: Yulong and his father (Ao Yan), the child has become a human this time, although he has not achieved the expected goal, but he has indeed gained a lot of knowledge. If you want to put him on a second cycle of life and death, you will do it according to your intentions! Anyway, every time I am reincarnated, my friend Guanyin Bodhisattva takes care of him! Besides, Yulong is your son, you are his father, and you have the responsibility of 'teaching and strictly managing' your son! Chang'e, it's better to let the Bodhisattva tell you about this! Lulu said thoughtfully to Chang'e and Avalokiteshvara!

"'Beauty God Envoy', the second reincarnation of life and death of the jade dragon, as his father Wang Ao Yan said, has experienced the whole process of life and death of mortal men! Ao Yan first turned him into sperm and blood, through male and female Q intercourse, and then was born through his mother's pregnancy of 10 months. Yulong was reincarnated into the mansion of a tribal prime minister this time and became a real official and a courtier's son! Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Chang'e with a smile!

"Bodhisattva, what is the matter of that dynasty, why didn't I hear anything about it when I was in the mortal realm!" Chang'e then said to Avalokiteshvara.

"'Envoy of the God of Beauty', that was in the 11th century B.C., you weren't born yet! You should know more about the geography of Chinese mainland than I do! Today, I will test you: people in southern China call water systems rivers, such as the Yangtze River, the Xiangjiang River, the Brahmaputra River, and so on. People in the Central Plains and northern China refer to water systems as rivers, such as the Yellow River, Hai River, Huai River, etc. The water systems in northern China from the north of the Liao River are called rivers, such as the Yalu River, the Songhua River, the Nenjiang River, the Heilongjiang River, the Ussuri River, etc. What is the reason for this? Guanyin Bodhisattva said softly to Chang'e!

"Bodhisattva, I have never studied this difficult problem before! Could it be that this question is related to the second reincarnation of life and death of the Jade Dragon! Chang'e asked Guanyin Bodhisattva what she said.

"'Envoy of the God of Beauty', this question really got you right! Chinese mortals call the water system north of the Liao River Jiang, which is really related to the second cycle of life and death of the Jade Dragon! If there was no second reincarnation of life and death of the Jade Dragon, the water system north of the Liao River in the mortal realm of China would definitely be called a river! ”
