Chapter One Thousand and Ninety-Six

Most of the myths and legends themselves come from the folk, and those that are well-known and widely circulated are nothing more than a matter of volume.

Volume refers to the scope of influence and spread, and then there is a systematic norm.

At the same time, there are some things in it that are worth reflecting on.

Needless to say, this kind of official meaning is not much to say, but some of the ones that are actually not so well known are more interesting.

Wuji said: "Actually, except for those stories that people know, aren't most stories like this? It's nothing more than a thematic question, it's all about life. ”

Lin Chaofeng smiled: "Brother, you say that, I feel that you are a bit like a teacher who is teaching me, and one of my teachers said the same thing at the beginning." ”

Wuji smiled: "Your teacher? That really embarrassed me. ”

Lin Chaofeng said: "We have a lot of stories of gods and ghosts here, of course, some are triggered by some special events, and others, or more generally, are those who tend to be in awe of nature. ”

"Actually, it's strange to say that the thing of reverence for nature itself requires people to have a cognition of nature, so as to produce awe, but these legends are based on gods."

Wuji said: "It may be a matter of age, naturally, this thing, except for some scholars who may know about it in the early years, most people still have that set of theories of gods and ghosts." ”

Lin Chaofeng sighed and said, "Don't talk about it, just talk about the mountains behind my house." ”

Lin Chaofeng said and tried to look into the distance, but because the vision of the environment they were in now was very limited, Lin Chaofeng did not see what he wanted to see.

Wuji wondered, "Why, don't you tell me that you can see it here as you say?" ”

Lin Chaofeng nodded and said: "That's right, to be precise, it is connected to the highest peak I told you before, in fact, the highest height is not much lower than the highest mountain, and the shortcut to this county seat is actually to climb over that big mountain." ”

"Let's put it this way, if you travel by foot from our house, it will take young people a little more than three hours to cross the mountain to this county, but if you choose to take a car, it will take about two hours from our town to the county seat, half an hour from our house to the market, and more than half an hour by car to get to the town."

"In other words, it's about the same in time."

Wuji sounded a little flustered, and wondered, "What kind of structure is this?" ”

Lin Chaofeng said: "It's very simple, it's a straight-line distance, our home is not far from this county, but if you choose to take a car, you have to go in the opposite direction first, and then that car is a bus, you know, the bus is a bypass, and finally detour to this county." ”

Wuji nodded and said, "I guess I understand." ”

Lin Chaofeng said with a smile: "Geographically, our home may feel like the end of the direction, because in the other direction, in fact, the terrain is relatively flat, even if there are mountains, those mountains are not high, looking at it from a distance, it is not an exaggeration to call it a dirt slope." ”

"But on the other hand, there are mountains behind it, just like a natural barrier, directly blocking all views in the other direction, I used to read and learn a text, called what is on the other side of the mountain, and that article is too vivid for our people there."

"The mountain is really high, and the older generation or the older generation will often tell us what the mountain actually is, and they just talk about it, but our generation really hasn't gone up, and I haven't been up for more than ten years."

"They are because in the early years, life had to be overcome, and in our generation, although everyone is wild, they are not so wild that they spend a morning climbing to that kind of place, they really need to climb up for a morning, and we don't know what is on the top."

"When I was younger, I didn't even think about it when I was so old, I didn't do anything like this, and when I grew up, I naturally wouldn't do such boring things."

Wuji asked, "So what is the legend?" ”

Lin Chaofeng said: "Legend has it that those mountains did not exist in the first place, it was a very wide flat land, and it had fields. ”

Lin Chaofeng looked at Wuji as he spoke, and said: "Brother, you don't have a specific reference, but I can say that if the terrain is really as the legend says, then we are definitely biased towards the center of our county, the mountain is too tall, and the area it occupies is also very wide." ”

"It's really hard to imagine that it's flat land, because of that kind of terrain, from the map, our home will definitely look different."

"At the same time, we have an alias for the place there, and the reason why it is an alias is because it was later changed, because there is a word in this alias that was very taboo in the old society, which is dragon."

Wuji smiled: "This is not a taboo word, what do some people say with the surname Long." ”

Lin Chaofeng said: "That's different, people in the old society worship the ancients, the surname is a thing, it is passed down by people's ancestors, no one in power will let people change their surname, even in the old society, no one will do this." ”

"But the place name is different, the place name is really not comparable with the surname, not to mention that we are not a famous place there, or the geographical location itself is not qualified to oppose this name change."

Wuji asked, "So this legend has something to do with dragons?" ”

Lin Chaofeng said: "Yes, I have always said that if we have a flat land if it is not a mountain, how good the geographical location is, in fact, I want to say that there was originally a place where dragons inhabited, and the legend is even more exaggerated, it is said that there is the birthplace of some dragons." ”

"There was no one there, and then our ancestors didn't know what the reason was, maybe they fled, and they came here unexpectedly, and the ancestors were desperate at that time."

"Seeing such a magical scene and a behemoth, the person who took the lead at that time said, so, it is better not to come here, offended the dragon, this is a real dragon, not a symbol of something, although the dragon is a mascot, but the real existence is not a small human can touch."

Wuji was a little surprised, and said: "I thought it was a fairy or a ghost or something, it seems that people in ancient times really admired dragons and recognized the existence of dragons very much." ”
