Chapter 398: In the Animal Realm, Dragons Are Mighty
"What your ancestor meant was that where there are only dragons, no other animal would dare to come here, and whether this dragon is a real dragon or a dragon, it is not comparable to those ordinary animals." After Bai Shan finished asking, before he could come to Bai Baihe's explanation, he heard Li Yuran on the side say lightly: "There are records about dragons in ancient times.
Dragons are a culture that has been passed down for thousands of years or more in Chinese China, and although dragons are no longer there, I believe they exist. Saying that, Li Yuran also glanced at Bai Baihe.
Seeing that Bai Baihe motioned for him to continue, he continued: "We live in separate houses, one family lives with another, and the animals are the same as us
However, they are not divided into houses, but into fields.
Large animals have domains, such as lions, tigers and bears, and if they all live in the same deep forest, they will distinguish their territory by their own urine.
This kind of large animal generally does not leave its own domain, and they will not run to the domain of other animals casually, because that is a provocation, and if you are not careful, it is easy to cause other animals to fight back, as for dragons, it is very different from animals such as lions and tigers.
The dragon is the length of all things, and all animals and creatures in the world are subservient to the feet of the dragon, so this is why the emperors of all dynasties have called themselves the true dragon son of heaven, and this title also refers to the meaning of Lao Tzu who is the first in the world.
However, the reason why your ancestors said this is that they saw the abnormality around the Yingtan Stream, just as your ancestors said, "There are dragons and birds in the high mountains that do not gather, and there are dragons and birds in the deep pools that do not come." ”
Because the dragon is no longer in the category of animals, its creature level is even higher than that of humans, so the dragon will have its own aura, which is what we call dragon power.
This aura is invisibly emanated, although we people can't feel it, but those creatures can keenly perceive this dragon might, the reason why your ancestors sent people to guard the eagle pond stream is to prove whether there is a dragon in that deep pool.
You think, in an era of great drought, how precious is a clear pool of water, and in the same way, your ancestors can find that deep pool, can't the surrounding animals find this pool water?
Your ancestor judged that there was a dragon in the Yingtan stream just by relying on the abnormalities around him, which shows that his insight is extraordinary, you little guys still have something to learn! That's right, Brother Bai, I didn't say it. After speaking, Li Yuran didn't glance at Bai Baihe, only to see him shrug his shoulders and look like he was wrong.
"Amazing, Brother Li deserves to be a person with higher education in a big city." It is rare for Baihe to see Li Yuran's naughty side, and now when he sees Li Yuran's expression, he also smiled and said: "But the old ancestor still miscalculated in the end, he didn't expect that because of one of his decisions, more than a dozen villagers died tragically." ”
"Dad, why don't you rest for a while?" Bai Shan carried a bag of things on his back, and walked all the way for so long, at this time, he was a little out of breath from exhaustion, and after he and Bai Yinglei's boat was chiseled through by the Baibai River, he had to jump into the shallow bend of the rapids, although he was later rescued by the Baibai River.
But now he has walked a short distance, he is tired, and he is fascinated by the stories told by Bai Baihe for a while, so he wants to sit down and rest and listen to Bai Baihe finish the story.
"Wait a minute, go a little further and there is a small dirt slope there, it's not too early now, where we will rest after we go, why don't we spend the night under the small dirt slope tonight, where can we avoid some wind, otherwise we may all get sick tomorrow."
Bai Baihe didn't agree to Bai Shan's proposal, but he took the sack that Bai Shankang had on his shoulder, and at this time Bai Baihe was already carrying three bags of things, one bag of items that Bai Baihe brought himself.
One bag is incense candle paper money he plans to bring into the dragon's den to incense his father, and the last bag is the fried money stolen by the old man, these fried things are not ordinarily heavy, but even so, the river didn't squeak during the day.
During this period, Li Yuran wanted to help Bai Baihe share some of the burden, but Bai Baihe refused, according to his statement: You are a teacher and don't have the strength to do these jobs.
At first, Li Yuran was not convinced, so he took the heaviest bag of fried goods from Baibaihe and carried it on his back, but the tragedy was that he was already tired and out of breath before he walked two hundred meters, and finally returned it to Baibaihe.
But fortunately, Ying Lao and his party were already very close to the dirt slope, only one road away, and after the heavy objects on Bai Shan and Ying Lao were carried over by the Bai Bai River, they also walked fast. After a while, the two of them came to the dirt slope while hopping.
Although Ying Lao was fifteen years old at the time, but to be honest, he was still a child, and the child's playful nature could not be avoided, and the two came to the dirt slope and saw that the height of the soil slope was not very high, so they relied on the habit of climbing trees and digging birds' nests in the village since childhood, and jumped directly from the two-meter-high small soil slope.
But who knew that the sudden "pop" sound was muffled, Bai Shan and Ying Lao felt empty under their feet, and suddenly the two of them fell into the dirt, and the moment the two fell down, they also let out a scream of "ah".
"Not good." Although he wanted to stop Bai Shan and Ying Lao from playing, he thought that he would have to bury his bones in the dragon's lair like his father in the future, and it would be impossible to see his descendants play like that, thinking of this, he also dispelled his mind of stopping Bai Shan and Ying Lao from playing.
Although the Yellow River Ancient Road was a little weird, after all, it was still daytime, and he didn't believe that anything could hurt Bai Shan and Ying Lao in front of him, but now he couldn't sit still when he suddenly heard the screams of the two, and after roaring, he pulled his legs and ran towards the dirt slope.
"Dad, we're fine." After the two jumped down, they found that the dirt under their feet was actually empty, but they did not fall and picked up a big bargain, because Bai Shan and Ying Lao actually trampled on a nest of rabbits the moment they fell. That's when they learned that there was a rabbit's nest underneath the dirt slope.
This nest happened to be in the position where the two jumped off, and now a nest of rabbits was suddenly jumped from a height by two fifteen or sixteen-year-old half-sized children, and the poor rabbit was trampled to death by their two brothers in an instant, when Win Lao saw the situation clearly, he was surprised and happy.
"The itchy skin is put." Bai Baihe ran to the top of the dirt slope, and saw that although the two of them were disgraced, they didn't seem to be injured, and suddenly his whole hanging heart also relaxed, but Bai Baihe still gave them a blow on the heads of the two old brothers.
Time passed quickly, and the sky gradually got dark, at that time, there was no mobile phone watch in that era, and the time was judged to look at the sun and the moon.
"Why don't we spend the night in the rabbit nest tonight." Bai Baihe looked at the sky that was getting dark and said: "Stone, mountain, you two go to find some dry firewood and straw nearby, you must go early and return early, it is not safe here after dark, do you know." ”
"I'll go with them." Li Yuran was not at ease and let Ying Lao and the two go to find dry firewood alone, so he also got up and walked towards the river beach with Ying Lao and the two.
"Crackling." There was silence on the dark ancient road of the Yellow River, and the weather in September was already a little cold in the north, and the old people were eating red rabbit meat around the burning red fire, while listening to the story of the two years he had been out in the day.
"Dad, why did our ancestors miscalculate, how could more than a dozen villagers die?" Ying Lao listened to Bai Baihe's story about his two years out, and suddenly he thought of the story of Longtan Eagle Stream that Bai Baihe told him today, and instantly his interest was interested in his ancestor again, and as soon as his words changed, he asked about Bai Baihe.
"Alas, your ancestor was also ostracized by the people in the village at that time because of this incident, but it was also a blessing in disguise that he found the entrance to the dragon's lair by chance, so that we could learn about our inheritance and mission." Bai Baihe tore off a piece of rabbit meat and chewed it in his mouth, and after taking two bites and swallowing his stomach, he sighed long before saying, "Your ancestor was the head of our village back then.
At that time, the village chiefs of our village were all our Bai family, but later because of your ancestor's incident, the people in the village rejected him, and then our village implemented the inheritance of choosing the village head among the patriarchs of the three surnames. ”
Bai Baihe couldn't help but sigh at the same time, "At that time, the ancestor sent people to stay in the deep pool for three days, but there was no movement at all, let alone animals, even an ant didn't seem to come to the deep pool."
However, on the evening of the fourth day, when the villagers who had left their hands did not want to wait any longer, an eagle suddenly fell from the sky and lay on the edge of the deep pool to drink without saying a word.
The villagers were about to burst into tears of joy when they saw this, and they were both happy and excited when they finally found out that animals had come to the deep pool and the river after four days of waiting.
However, they did not dare to fetch water immediately, but told your ancestors about it, and when your ancestors heard this, they ordered people to go to the deep pool to fetch water, because it was a drought and the village had been without water for several months.
Now that there is no danger in that deep pool, your ancestors have no reason to stop this, and on the night of the fourth day, in order to save manpower, your ancestors sent half of the men of the village to fetch water at one time.
After all, the deep pool is not close to the village, and if you don't make a boat, you will have to walk for at least half a day to reach the Yingtan Stream, so one night the village will have dozens of men, together with your ancestors, set off to fetch water.
At that time, the village was hit by the turmoil, and there were not many people in the village, and the surnames He and Zhao were introduced to the village by your grandfather's uncle at that time, in order to let the Bai family continue to pass on.
However, it is precisely because of the disunity of the people back then, coupled with the mistakes of your ancestors, that there is the rejection of your ancestors by the villagers, although your ancestors have a skill, but sometimes the manpower is limited, and he doesn't know why there are dragons in the pool where animals come.
One night, your ancestor took a group of people to fetch water, and met the evil dragon, when the night was dark and windy, the pedestrians of the village had just arrived next to the eagle pond stream, and they found something that surprised them.
This scene also frightened your ancestors, I saw that there was a giant bird standing next to the deep pool drinking water on the side, it should not be said that the giant eagle was standing on the edge of the deep pool drinking water. ”
