Chen Feng's eyes moved, and he was a little embarrassed: "Rong'er is in retreat, I'm afraid ......" Rong'er likes to be quiet, except for people close to her, she doesn't want to see anyone else. Moreover, during this time, Rong'er was in the period of memory awakening, and Chen Feng stayed by Rong'er's side every day, so he didn't dare to be negligent.

"Since you're in retreat, forget it, you can come to my house another day when you have time." Dongfang Peng said with a smile, his purpose was to be close to the Chen Mansion, since he couldn't see Zi Yuerong, it was the same if he could have a good relationship with Chen Feng. At least the relationship between the two parties is not estranged, and he is relieved.

"Hey, I'm ashamed to say that Tuoba Lie is really bold, and he almost caused major harm to Brother Chen. Brother, I really can't stand Brother Chen, I should have solved that Tuoba Lie in the first place. But don't worry, Brother, Tuoba Family, I have ordered someone to uproot it and eradicate it cleanly. "Tianshui City Lord Dongfang Peng Dao.

"Haha, my brother is so bothered, it's hard work." Chen Feng laughed loudly. The Tuoba family, Chen Feng didn't pay attention to it from beginning to end, but since it was uprooted, it was naturally the best. Dongfang Peng's move was obviously also to curry favor with Chen Feng.

Then Dongfang Peng, the lord of Tianshui City, chatted with Chen Feng for more than an hour before leaving.

Don't look at Dongfang Peng's appearance, he is actually a good person. After all, he is also a martial saint who has lived for thousands of years, which one can not be refined.

Chen Feng is a high-level martial saint who has comprehended and penetrated the mysteries, and he has the help of many powerful pet beasts, and his overall combat power is probably strong among the top martial saints, while Ziyue Rong is even rarer and more terrifying peak martial saints. This little couple is young, strong and powerful, and has unlimited potential. In the future, it may be possible to become a martial god.

Don't stutter at this time, but when to wait. I didn't look at those martial saints outside the gate of the Chen Mansion. I don't even have a chance to stutter. Thinking of this, Dongfang Peng couldn't help but feel a little complacent. Fortunately, I met Brother Chen earlier and formed a good relationship.

At this moment, there are many warriors outside the door of the Chen Mansion, riding their own pet beasts to stay at the door of the Chen Mansion, looking inside, wanting to visit Chen Feng, make friends with Chen Feng, and see the fairy style. Most of these warriors were warriors who had witnessed that battle a few days ago.

Some of these martial artists simply got off the back of the pet beast and sat cross-legged at the gate of the Chen Mansion to cultivate.

The entrance of the Chen Mansion is very lively, and there are all kinds of pet beasts in addition to martial artists. Some of them are of ordinary blood. There is also a blood noble.

One of them is a pet beast, a descendant of the ancient divine beast Kiss.

Kiss is one of the ancient mythical beasts, and is said to be the son of the top mythical beast Shenlong. Each of these mortal planes has left behind legends. Folk often have its form ornaments. The owl's kiss is easy to swallow, that is, the shape of the beast's head on the spine of the temple. This decoration has been used now, and in ancient Han palace buildings, the five ridges and six beasts could only be owned by officials. He likes to look around, and is often arranged on the roof ridge of the Han palace building, making an open mouth swallowing ridge, and has a sword to fix it. Small beasts made of clay were invited to the rooftops of palaces, temples and nobles. Looking down on the world, it is really a bit of "steady progress" and "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven". Where does the kiss come from? This starts with the dragon culture of the Chinese nation. The dragon is a symbol of the origin and cultural beginning of the Chinese nation; the totem worshipped by the descendants of Yan and Huang; The mighty, courageous, invincible, and fearless spirit that the dragon possesses is exactly the evil ghost expelled by the Chinese nation. It is necessary to protect the safety of the family, and to hope for abundant food and clothing, and prosperity. For this reason, the owners of houses with high or low building levels are decorated with 'dragons' at the ends of the ridges and horns to ward off evil spirits. And in this way, it shows the authority and status of the owner of the house. The mantis is also called ichthyosaur, a combination of fish and dragon. It is one of the nine sons of the dragon in ancient legends. Of the nine sons, the kiss is believed to have originated from Indian Buddhism. Legend has it that it was around the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The Capricorn fish from India changed shape with the introduction of Buddhism and was shaped like a four-legged snake with its tail cut off. The dragon head and fish body kiss, its implication is that the Dharma is protected in Buddhism, and it has the effect of driving away evil spirits. Because of its temperament, people often use it as a decoration for buildings, especially the beast head that is used as a roof ridge to suppress fire, make an open mouth and swallow a ridge, and fix it with a sword. Judging from the evolution of ancient totem worship, the fish became a dragon because the clan with the fish as the totem in ancient times was integrated into the nation of the dragon totem, and the totem image as the family emblem also changed and became the ichthyosaurus with the head of the dragon and the body of the fish. There are many types of ichthyosaurs, some have more dragon features, and some have more fish features. In ancient times, there was a saying that "the carp jumps over the dragon gate" and "the climber turns into a dragon", which originates from this. Later generations also put the "carp jumping over the dragon gate" as a metaphor for scientific research, and those who pass the examination will turn into a dragon, and folk art will mostly take this as the theme. [According to legend, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the Bailiang Palace, someone wrote that there was a fish in the sea that looked like a tail

Gulls can spray waves and rain, avoid fires, and drive away ghosts. Therefore, the spine beast's snout was not originally in the form of a dragon. There are bird-shaped ones, and more ichthyosaur-shaped ones. After the Qing Dynasty, the dragon-shaped owl snout increased, the surface of the dragon pattern four claws in the air, the dragon's head was angry and made an open mouth swallowing ridge, a sword was inserted on the back, standing on the tail ridge of the building, and was called "the good hopeful". It is said that this thing can swallow all things, so it is called to be responsible for guarding the horizontal ridge of the house building; It likes to climb up and look down, so it is regarded as an ornament to pray for rain and avoid fires among the people. The "Taiping Yulan" has the following account: "After the disaster of the Liang Palace of the Han Dynasty, Yue Wu said, 'There are fish in the sea, the tail is like an owl, and the torrent is rain' so that it is like the tail, so as to disgust the fire and auspicious." The "witch" mentioned in the text is the Fang Shi and the like, and the "Yu Qiu" is the predecessor of the mantine kiss. The kiss is water-based, and it is used as a thing to suppress evil to avoid fire, and the Han folk are also called dragons. Two opposite kisses are placed on the ridge of the house to avoid fire. The eaves and ridges of ancient Han buildings are often decorated with a different number of small animals, and these beautiful ornaments are a major feature of the decoration of ancient Han buildings. These small animals are generally called roof beasts, eaves beasts, fairy beasts, vertical spine kisses, etc., and are also known as trotting or "cornered" within the ancient construction bank. They have "walked" to the front of the eaves, and if they take another step forward, they will fall, and they are really cornered. Most of the ancient Chinese buildings were civil structures, and the roof ridge was made of timber covered with tiles. Because the tile at the front end of the eaves corner is in the forefront position, it has to bear a downward "thrust" of the entire vertical ridge tile at the upper end; At the same time, if there is no protection measure, it is easy to be blown off by strong winds. Therefore. People use tile nails to fix the tiles at the front of the eaves, and various animal images are gradually formed in the process of beautifying the nail caps. In addition to the practical function, it is further endowed with the role of decoration and marking hierarchy. It is a decorative component on the roof ridge of a Han building, and it is located at both ends of the ridge of the roof of the building. "Owl" in ancient times meant "harrier eagle". It is a fierce big bird, and legend has it that the owl kiss is the son of the dragon, and the so-called dragon gives birth to nine sons, and the owl kiss is one of them. Shaped like a four-legged snake with its tail cut off, this dragon is particularly fond of looking around in dangerous places and swallowing fire. The early form of the nose was similar to that of a fish's tail, which was its name "owl tail". According to Mr. Liu Zhiping's research, the owl tail appeared after the Jin Dynasty. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, with the prevalence of Buddhism. The Capricorn fish (that is, the whale), the seat of the two gods referred to in the Buddhist scriptures, was transmitted to China and was called the plover. The image of the owl tail in the Northern and Southern Dynasties is more common in the Yungang Longmen stone carvings, and there are also records about the owl in many documents. After the late Tang Dynasty, the tail of the owl evolved from the original fish tail to the shape of the head of the beast, the tail of the air is relatively short, the mouth is wide open, is swallowing the ridge, the tail is rolled up, so the name of the tail at this time also changed from the tail of the owl to the kiss or the kiss beast. The kiss of the owl was followed by another name of "kiss". The name of the kiss is related to the image of the kissing beast opening its mouth and swallowing its spine. There is a record in "Remembering the Dragon Giving Birth to Nine Sons": "The dragon gave birth to nine sons." The kiss is easy to swallow, and the head of the beast on the ridge of the palace is its posthumous image." Why did this divine beast at both ends of the main spine of the building become one of the nine sons of the dragon again? This is because in the Ming Dynasty, the shape of this snouting beast has undergone great changes, and it has gradually changed into the shape of a dragon. So people associate it with the legend of the dragon giving birth to nine sons. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the shape of this dragon-shaped beaked beast became more and more rigorous. Therefore, it is also known as the dragon kiss. In short, in different historical eras, in addition to the different names of the owl's kiss, its shape is also different. In other words, the form of the owl kiss is constantly changing with the times. In the Han Dynasty, the ridges on the stone houses and Ming utensils were made of tube tiles. The ridges are raised upwards at both ends, and the shape is much like the tail of an owl in the shape of a fish's tail later. For example, the mausoleum buildings on the ground during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The tail of the owl on the ridge is vertical, the tip of the tail is curled inward, and the outside is carved with a fin pattern. It has become a more formal owl tail shape. After the late Tang Dynasty, the image of the owl's tail evolved into the shape of a beast's head, and it also developed into the use of glazed large tiles to make it. After the Song Dynasty, the shape of the owl's kiss imitated the practice of the Tang Dynasty and adopted the shape of a beast's head. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperor was supreme, the shape of the dragon became a symbol of imperial power, and the shape of the owl's kiss became the dragon head type we see today, the specific image is the dragon's head eyes staring, opening its mouth, swallowing the spine, the upper part bends inward and then curls downward, it is difficult to see the shape of the fishtail, and the dragon scales are also carved on the owl's kiss, lifelike. Generally, the roof of a high-ranking official-style building is equipped with a kiss on the main ridge, a back beast at the back of the kiss head, a tail that rolls upward, and a sword inserted on the back. The shape of the owl includes all parts of the dragon's body, and the carving is relatively delicate, and the image is very realistic. The dragon's eyes are huge, the eyes are angry, and they can see everything. The dragon's nose is high. It indicates the dragon's keen sense of smell. The dragon's mouth is wide open to reveal a long tongue and sharp dragon teeth, and the dragon's teeth are said to ward off evil spirits in the Han folk. The dragon's ears are downwind ears that float towards the back of the head. There are mane rolls on both sides of the dragon ear, carved into a curly grass pattern. The dragon whisker carving is clearly visible, representing the sacred dignity of the dragon. Huge dragon claws, showing their great strength. The dragon's tail is upturned and then curled inward, like the image of a flower. The back beast at the back of the dragon's head is the dragon's soldier and protects the dragon's back. In addition, there is a baby dragon on the dragon's head, which takes the state of two dragons, representing auspiciousness. The dragon also has a sword handle made of wishful lotus flowers. According to legend, this sword was the sword used by Xu Xun. Xu Xun, the word Jingzhi, is a native of Runan, and lives in Nanchang. 239-374 A.D., Jin Taoist. Learn the Tao in Wu Meng, and then raise filial piety, once served as the commander of Jingyang County, felt the chaos of the Jin room, abandoned the official and returned to the east, and traveled around the rivers and lakes. There are two legends about Xu Xun's sword inserted on the back of the Owl Kiss, one is to prevent the Owl from escaping, taking its meaning of spraying water and suppressing fire forever; Another legend is that those demons and monsters are most afraid of Xu Xun's fan-shaped sword, and the intention here is to ward off evil. In fact, the owl is composed of several components put together, and the sword handle plays the role of a series member on the structure of the owl. It has a dual role of architectural cultural significance and practical function. The five ridges refer to the large ridge (normal ridge) and the four vertical ridges. There are dragon kisses at both ends of the main ridge, which is also called devouring beasts. Four vertical ridges are lined with five squatting beasts. Collectively referred to as "five spines and six beasts". This is the sacred beast of the town's ridge: the triple function of Qi auspiciousness, decorative beauty and protection of architecture. The ancient building is a wooden structure, with a beast to suppress the ridge to avoid fire and eliminate disasters. At the intersection of the two slopes of the tile, it is tightly sealed and fixed by swallowing beasts to prevent rainwater leakage, which not only collects the beauty of decoration, but also collects the effectiveness of protecting the spine. The dragon's kiss opens its huge mouth and swallows the ridge, and the Han myths and legends say that the two sons of the dragon king compete for the throne, and the one who swallows the roof first is called the king. Brother Long swallowed his brother's spine, drew his sword and stabbed his brother on the spine, and the hilt of the sword was still exposed. On the four vertical ridges, there are five "squatting beasts", which is the "kiss" that Yang Shen said in the Ming Dynasty. "Sheng'an Outer Collection" said that the nine sons of the dragon: "The kiss of the two days, the shape is like a beast, the sex is good, and the head of the beast is also on the house today." ”

……

After sending Dongfang Peng away, Chen Feng returned to the inner house again to accompany Rong'er and Xiao Xuanxuan. With his family, Chen Feng also enjoyed this quiet and leisurely day.

"By the way, where have Xiao Zi and the stinky fart been recently? It's been a long time since I've seen them. Chen Feng couldn't help but wonder. At least I haven't seen those two little ones in a few days.

"I don't know, I should go out and play. By the way, a few days ago, I seemed to hear Xiaoqing chirping and encouraging Xiao Ziying to go to the Tianshui Forest to play. The little maid Xiao Xiao said: "Those two little guys are very active, how can they be willing to be bored in the mansion." ”

"These two little guys are really bold, there are so many warriors in the Tianshui Forest, and they are not afraid of being abducted and trafficked." Chen Feng was a little helpless and said. I didn't worry too much in my heart, Little Purple Eagle was a noble emperor-level spirit beast, his strength grew very fast, and his cultivation was already extremely close to the Martial Saint level, and his speed was so fast that he was perverted, and it was very difficult to catch Little Purple Eagle.

When it came to Little Purple Eagle, Chen Feng couldn't help but miss the little black dog a little. It's been a long time since I've seen Xiao Erhei, when Chen Feng was seriously injured and dying, the little black dog was very sad and kept by Chen Feng's side. It shouldn't have known that Chen Feng was still alive. As soon as that little guy arrived in the Heavenly Martial Realm, he went out to practice, and he didn't know what happened now.
