The elder smiled: "This is the matter! That's a strange thing! ”

As soon as I saw the elder smiling, it was completely different from the expression he had just mentioned Huixiang, and the other people around me were also happy, so I was immediately very curious and hurriedly asked.

I learned that there was a man named Chen Laosi in their village, who was originally a melon farmer, and at the beginning of the year, I didn't know who I heard and changed to planting gourds, saying that planting gourds would make him rich, and immediately planted all the previous more than ten acres of melon land with gourds.

At that time, the people in the village persuaded him that this was a loss-making business, and this year, the big guy was cutting back on food and clothing for his livelihood, where did he have the money to buy gourds, and he was ready to lose money by planting gourds.

It really made the people in the village say yes.

After this gourd was planted, no one booked or bought it, and it seemed that it was a posture of losing money.

But two days ago, Chen Laosi's gourd orchard actually grew a super big gourd.

How big is this gourd?

It's like a small boat, and it's not a problem for two or three people to get on it.

As soon as this gourd grew, it immediately became a strange news, attracting people from ten miles and eight villages to watch, and many people posted Douyin to engage in live broadcasts to show netizens this gourd.

If it weren't for the fact that their village didn't want to have too much contact with the outside world, this place would have become a tourist attraction because of the big gourd.

Rao is like this, two days ago I still came to someone.

As soon as he found Chen Laosi, he gave him 20,000 yuan, saying that he wanted to buy the big gourd that could carry people, and 20,000 yuan was just a deposit, and he would come to pick up the goods three days later, and he would give Chen Lao 400,000 yuan as all the expenses for buying the gourd.

Chen Laosi was very happy, and immediately said that he would give 4,000 yuan to no family in the village if he sold the gourd.

It's not the third day, and in a little while the man will come with the balance to buy the gourd.

That is to say, after a while, the people in the village will also get a piece of the pie because Chen Laosi sells gourds, and each family will drop 4,000 yuan from the sky, who will be unhappy?

Not to mention such a poor village.

It dawned on me when I heard it.

Xie Sifei pulled me over and whispered: "The people in this village don't take advantage of the great money-making opportunities, but wait for pies to fall from the sky, what do you think?" ”

"Obviously, you can rely on the big gourd as a gimmick to drive tourism for a period of time, and every household earns a lot of money, but you give up this opportunity and wait for others to give 4,000 yuan, is there something wrong with your brain?"

Flower Butterfly also thought so, saying that she couldn't understand this logic.

I lowered my voice and told them that the people in this village have long mouths, low noses and dull eyes, and they are lazy and lazy, and it is difficult for them to start their own businesses.

For them, instead of working hard to engage in tourism, it is better to wait for Chen Laosi to sell gourds and share the 4,000 yuan.

When Hua Butterfly heard this, she sighed and changed the topic to another idea: "Hey! That's right! Brother Shouyi, how can there be such a big gourd? The size of a ship? ”

I nodded, and said that in ancient times, there was really a gourd variety called the Apocalypse Gourd, and the fruit produced was the size of a boat at the earliest.

However, this kind of gourd is generally planted by Taoist priests, and it is used as a means of transportation when it matures.

Generally, ordinary people can't go to the rivers, lakes and seas or ghost dragon caves, and you can go directly to the destination by sitting on this kind of apocalypse gourd.

When Hua Butterfly and Xie Sifei heard this, they were amazed again and again.

But a person squeezed out of the side, looking at me with bright eyes: "Oops! You're right, young man, that guy bought my big gourd just to go where ordinary people can't go. ”

I saw that this man was thin and small, but the palace of wealth was shining.

Coupled with what he said, it was concluded that he was the Wu Laosi in the mouth of the villagers just now.

So he asked curiously: "Where does the guest want to go when he bought your gourd?" ”

"Him!"

Chen Laosi pointed to the outside of the village: "He said that there is an old dragon king under the Jiulong River, he has not seen a fairy for many years of cultivation, and he wants to sit on the treasure gourd to the crystal palace at the bottom of the river to find the old dragon king to drink." "Knock knock

When I heard this, I couldn't help frowning: "Old Dragon King? ”

Chen Laosi nodded: "You people from other places naturally don't know that our Jiulong River has good weather every year, and we have never encountered any floods because of the proximity of the river, just because of the blessing of this old dragon king." ”

"The guest who bought my stuff, said he wanted to go down and thank him."

I immediately thought that this statement was wrong.

It seems that the old dragon king of the Jiulong River was recorded in the file that Rong Xian gave me, and after thinking about it for a while, he came up with a message, saying that many years ago, the Jiulong River flooded every year due to geographical reasons, and the people in the two places on the flooded river bank were not happy.

Later, a celestial master got a Dinghai Divine Pearl out of nowhere, and put it in the feng shui eye under the confluence of nine rivers, which calmed the big water, and since then the wind and rain in Zhenjiang Mansion have been smooth, and there has never been a big flood.

Because this Dinghai Shenzhu is similar to the Dinghai Shenzhu that Sun Monkey pulled out back then, once it leaves its original position, it will stir up the nearby waters upside down, and the Heavenly Master also accepted an old dragon to live under the Jiulong River, specifically to take care of the Dinghai Shenzhu, the purpose is to guard it from being stolen by others.

This old dragon has great powers, and it saves a lot of trouble for Dinghai Shenzhu.

It is precisely because the old dragon guards the Dinghai Shenzhu day after day and year after year that he kills a lot of villains who want to make up their minds about the Dinghai Shenzhu, and those who were originally eyeing the Shenzhu had to stop fighting.

But the old dragon has a secret that those people don't know.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked Chen Laosi: "In addition to giving you more than 100,000 yuan as the balance, does the person who bought the gourd want you to go down to the Jiulong River with him and help him find Lao Long together?" ”

"Oops!"

Chen Laosi was taken aback: "How do you know?" ”

"He said that I have made so much money, and going down to the river with him to help him is also after-sales service! I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I agreed. ”

When I heard this, I thought thoughtfully: "Did he tell you that going down the river will be obstructed by the old dragon, and you need to help issue a pass order to let you go?" Let you ride on the gourd, and he himself will follow you in a small boat? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Chen Laosi nodded like pounding garlic: "He also asked me to prepare seven small flags of different colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, saying that when we arrived at the Dragon Cave, the old dragon would come out to stop us." When the time comes, a hand will be stretched out under the water, and I will see what color the hand is, and then hand a flag to the hand. ”

I hurriedly asked him to show me the flag.

As soon as he took it out, I saw some strange patterns embroidered on the flag, and after a closer look, I realized what it was, so I told Chen Laosi: "Do you know what this thing does?" ”

Chen Laosi nodded as if he didn't understand: "Like, it seems that that person is saying that mortals can't easily enter the place where immortals live." If we want to go down to the Crystal Palace to see and see, we have to please the old dragon. ”

"Before we go underwater, the old dragon will definitely come out to obstruct it. When the time comes, it will make waves on the river, and it will drag us all into the water and drown, and we will have to think of some countermeasures. ”

"He also said that the old dragon would be a colorful dragon and would change color."

"So as long as I see the right time, when the old dragon reaches out from the water, look at the color of that hand, and hand him a flag, and when the seven flags are delivered, we can enter the crystal palace at the bottom of the river smoothly."

Xie Sifei immediately scolded the idiot, and Chen Laosi glared at him fiercely: "What did you say?" ”

"No, no, no,"

I was afraid that he would fight, so I hurriedly stood up: "That's the case, we also know a little bit about the old dragon of the Jiulong River, and my junior brother will say this when he is straightforward, don't be weird."

"But do you know that the person who bought the gourd asked you to do this not to take you to the Crystal Palace at the bottom of the river at all, but to send you to death, and even to bury your whole village with you, do you know?"

"Huh?"

Chen Laosi was taken aback, and even the villagers panicked: "What's the matter?" Is it true? ”

I nodded, and unhurriedly picked up a flag: "Look at this thing, this is called the Drunken Dragon Flag." As soon as the dragon comes into contact with this thing, it will lose consciousness for fifteen minutes. ”

"That person asked Chen Laosi to prepare seven flags of different colors, obviously wanting to paralyze the old dragon and even kill the old dragon, so as to enter the crystal palace at the bottom of the river to steal the treasure."

"You must know that this old dragon is specially guarding the Dinghai Shenzhu, and the role of the Dinghaishenzhu is to calm the wind and waves of the Jiulong River. Once the beads are stolen, the Kowloon River will not be calm, and there will definitely be another wind and waves, as if the people on both sides of the river bank were flooded like a hundred years ago, and the villagers who live nearby will still be able to survive at that time? ”

Chen Laosi and a group of villagers suddenly panicked: "That... So what to do? ”
