Chapter 403: Black Dragon in Front of the Door
On the gate of the city of Xudu was entrenched a black dragon, this dragon was black and shiny, and the scales reflected a faint green light in the shadow of the ghost fire, and his eyes were always staring at the group of ghosts in front of the door, and there was a faint flame in his eyes.
"Old Dragon King, long time no see!" Xiao Yao waved his hand towards the black dragon entrenched on the city gate.
When the dragon saw Xiao Yao, he suddenly let out a long roar, and this dragon roar frightened the ghosts who had just come to the door trembling, and some even wailed.
The giant dragon swirled down from the gate like a black wind, and then turned into an old man in a black robe, although he looked very old, but his spirit was extremely vigorous, he looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, but Xiao Yao knew that this black dragon was more than two thousand years old.
"Good boy! Remembering this? Do you still know the old dragon? What, the seal was broken? Who gave you the courage to dare to self-proclaimed cultivation! The old dragon king asked Xiao Yao seriously, but the thoughts in the singular eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Old Dragon King, I know all about the things I sealed and cultivated before?" Xiao Yao scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Don't be my hippie smile, after learning that you are self-proclaimed cultivators, our old guys are almost angry, Meng Po even kicked over the pot of boiling soup, if it weren't for Xiao Hei Xiaobai and Niu Tou Ma Mian to stop her, she would have to teach you a lesson in person, and I will see her hiding for a while." The old dragon king blew his beard and glared.
"Knowing the old dragon king, I won't go to the bridge for a while." Xiao Yao said.
"Okay, old dragon king, there are still a group of ghosts going into the city, we won't delay you, and then come to me and we'll have a drink." Bai Wuchang said at this time.
The old dragon king nodded, then glanced back at the group of ghosts, which directly frightened the ghosts to their knees.
This black dragon entrenched above the city gate is the famous Jinghe Dragon King, the dragon that Wei Zheng killed in his dream.
The death of the Dragon King of Jinghe is not like what is written in Journey to the West, although it is generally the same as changing the time and amount of rain without permission, but it is not because of Yuan Shoucheng's words, but because of Yuan Shoucheng's plea and a promise.
At that time, Chang'an was the largest city in the world, and Yuan Shoucheng was a fortune teller in Anle Fang in Chang'an City, known as a half-immortal god.
He once calculated a direction for a fisherman, and the fisherman would make a lot of money when he fished, but Yuan Shoucheng repeatedly told the fisherman that if he fell into a golden carp or a red carp, he should release it immediately, and he should not catch more than 100 fish a day.
This is the rule set by Yuan Shoucheng for fishermen, you must know that a hundred fish a day is nothing now, but in the Tang Dynasty it was still very much.
The fisherman happily went back, and the next day the fisherman fished in a specific location according to what Yuan Shoucheng said, and sure enough, the fish was like an automatic door, and the fisherman was immediately happy, but every time he fished, he would catch one or several red carp, and the fisherman also released the red carp according to the rules.
The fisherman fished by the river for only one hour a day, and then he did not lose the rod whether there were any fish or not, and after a long time the other fishermen found the clue, and immediately after the fisherman left, the others came to the fisherman's place and began to fish, but they found nothing.
In this way, the fisherman gradually became richer with the income of a hundred fish a day.
On this day, the fisherman's wife brought food to the fisherman who was fishing by the river, and happened to see the fisherman holding a golden carp in his hand, and saw that the fisherman carefully took off the hook and was about to release it.
When the wife saw this, she hurriedly stopped the fisherman and said, "Husband, slow down! Why was this golden carp released? ”
The fisherman saw his wife standing behind him, so he said: "This is what Mr. Yuan of Chang'an said, I catch 100 carp every day, but the golden and red carp must be released, otherwise it will suffer." ”
"Husband, that Mr. Yuan is just a fortune teller from the swimming side, his words are credible but not credible, if this golden carp is sold in the market, it will definitely be sold for a good price, it is better to sell it to subsidize the family than to release it." The fisherman's wife said.
"This ......" The fisherman also hesitated after hearing his wife's words, this golden carp would definitely sell for a good price if it was sold, but Yuan Shoucheng's words still echoed in his ears.
Yuan Shoucheng repeatedly told him at that time and his expression was extremely serious, what is this golden carp?
When the fisherman's wife saw the fisherman's hesitation, she immediately said: "Husband, there are still children waiting to be fed at home, and a hundred fish a day may not be enough to support life in the future. ”
Seeing the rough hands of his wife, the fisherman felt guilty in his heart, and immediately decided to ignore Yuan Shoucheng's advice to sell this golden carp in the market.
Sure enough, someone offered 50 yuan to buy the golden carp, and the fisherman and his wife were so happy that they decided not to release the golden carp even if they were caught tomorrow.
For the rest of the month, every day the fisherman would drop the carp, either gold or red, and they would always sell for a good price, but disaster was also quietly coming.
Jinghe Dragon Palace, the Dragon King is listening to the report of his subordinates, every day someone is caught by the fisherman, the fisherman used to release these people, but in the past month, the fisherman has not been seen to release.
The Dragon King of Jinghe couldn't help but be angry after hearing this, those golden carp and red carp were originally creatures that could be cultivated, but now they were fished by fishermen and disappeared, and the Dragon Palace suffered a heavy loss for no reason, and the Dragon King of Jinghe decided to go to the world in person.
On this day, Yuan Shoucheng was still erecting a flag and setting up a stall in the old place of Anlefang, but when he saw a person walking on the street of Anlefang, Yuan Shoucheng squinted and knew that the person who came was the Dragon King of Jinghe.
The Dragon King of Jinghe was originally a god, and he already knew in his heart that Yuan Shoucheng had told the fisherman about the fortune, and this time he came to settle the account.
The art of divination is inherently leaking, and if someone does not listen to the hexagram and acts against the sky, he will suffer calamity.
Yuan Shoucheng calculated that the fisherman had violated the will of heaven, and when he saw the arrival of the Jinghe Dragon King, he secretly said that he was going to close the stall and leave, but in a blink of an eye, the Jinghe Dragon King, dressed in gorgeous clothes, came to his eyes.
"Mr. fortune teller, I have something unclear but please clarify my doubts." The Dragon King of Jinghe came to the hexagram stall and arched his hand and said.
Yuan Shoucheng saw that it was indeed the Dragon King of Jinghe, and seeing that he couldn't leave, he knew that he couldn't avoid it like this, so he had to arch his hand and say, "What doubts do you have?" ”
The Dragon King of Jinghe smiled and continued: "Someone in my family has recently disappeared for no reason, and I would like to ask my husband to tell me where to find my family." ”
Yuan Shoucheng and the Dragon King of Jinghe both knew that Yuan Shoucheng could not retreat from the time he was the governor.
"The noble man writes a word on the paper, and calculates one or two highly." Yuan Shoucheng said helplessly.
The Dragon King of Jinghe picked up his pen and wrote a fish character, and then handed it to Yuan Shoucheng: "Please Mr. calculate one or two." ”
Yuan Shoucheng looked at the words on the paper and smiled bitterly, the fish character of the Dragon King of Jinghe was written like both fish and dragon, which was telling Yuan Shoucheng that those carp would sooner or later jump over the dragon gate and turn into dragons, but now they have disappeared.
Yuan Shoucheng sighed, if he told the fisherman, then the fisherman would definitely not end well, if he didn't say it, he would inevitably continue to sell golden carp with human greed.
"The Dragon King of Jinghe is polite, and he knows the intention of the Dragon King to come here, and he is willing to inform the Dragon King." In the end, Yuan Shoucheng still agreed to the Dragon King and told the whereabouts of the fisherman.
