Chapter 122: Golden Dragon vs. Bone Dragon

At this moment, Lin Yu's mysterious movements in his hands had ended, and cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead, but there was a hint of relief on his face.

"Hmm-"

A thick and clear dragon roar spread throughout the nine heavens and ten earths, the golden light cluster disappeared, and a small five-clawed golden dragon appeared, and a humanized expression appeared in the golden eyes, and the eyes of the ancient dragon who kept howling below were full of disdain.

Saying small is only relative to the bone dragon below, the five-clawed golden dragon is five zhang long, and it will be small there.

Everyone behind Lin Yu was completely stunned this time, and the moment the five-clawed golden dragon appeared, the black silk ice crystals on their bodies disappeared directly, and at the same time, a warmth poured into their hearts, and they could no longer feel a trace of cold, they all looked up at the five-clawed golden dragon in the air, including Lin Yu, their hearts fluctuated.

The word dragon has been melted into the hearts of every Chinese child, and every descendant of Yan and Huang is called the descendant of the dragon, which is not just talking.

Dragons are connected to everything in China and in the world. In traditional Chinese culture, it is a symbol of power, nobility and honor, a symbol of luck and success, and a synonym for domineering majesty.

The reason why the dragon has this cultural symbolism is that it has a lot to do with the incomparable supernatural power of the dragon in legends and myths to soar through the clouds and fog in the sky, chase the waves when it goes down to the sea, and call for wind and rain in the world.

But more importantly, because the dragon has often become the "exclusive patent" of Chinese slaves and the supreme ruler of feudal society for thousands of years, and is synonymous with imperial power, therefore, the emperor compares himself to the "true dragon son of heaven", the body is called "dragon body", the clothes he wears are called "dragon robes", the chairs he sits on are called "dragon chairs", and the cars and boats he rides are called "dragon chariots" and "dragon boats...... In short, everything related to their daily life is crowned with the word "dragon" to show the privilege of being superior.

Dragons are the origin of culture. "Yi" is the head of the group of scriptures and the source of the avenue. The origin of Yi can be traced back to the Book of Dragons. In "Yi", the main hexagram is the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun. In the hexagram, "Yi, Qian, and Yao" reveals the universal laws of things including life growth in the order of the six hexagrams, and uses the dragon growing up in water as a metaphor to refine and summarize the six life stages of a successful person who grows into a world of travel.

As the first nine: Hidden dragon, do not use. Refers to the beginning of life, symbolizing the learning stage of life. "Yi Kun Yao Ci" is an induction, refinement and interpretation of the growth stage of those in a subordinate position. In the final stage, there is a sentence of "the dragon is in the wild, and its blood is yellow", which means that the yin is extremely prosperous, and the subordinate person is transformed into the dominant one, which is very difficult and costly, and it is necessary to have full psychological and contingency preparations.

At the folk level, the influence of dragons is greater, and the surname of dragon is widely distributed; Dragon King Temples are all over China, and many of the place names are named after dragons.

The dragon is the embodiment of justice, and the descendants of Yan and Huang have endowed the dragon with many beautiful and kind hearts.

Folk have "February 2, the dragon raises its head" said, legend has the little white dragon because of the rain to save the people and offend the Jade Emperor, in order to miss the kindness of the little white dragon, the folk will February 2 as the spring dragon festival, burn incense and pray, pray for the coming year's wind and rain, the five grains are abundant.

The traditional Spring Festival officially ended on this day. Dragons can represent heroes. The image of the dragon is active in almost all levels and fields, with strong vitality and charisma, and is a typical example of the ideal hero.

The legends of dragons are innumerable, and the Yellow Emperor in the legendary era has an inseparable relationship with dragons.

According to legend, the Yellow Emperor, who was related to the blood of the dragon, once went around to observe the people's feelings. He ordered people to mine the Tong of Shoushan, and then transported it to the foot of Jingshan Mountain to cast a tripod to commemorate his glorious victory in the Great War.

After a period of time, the tripod was finally cast, and the Yellow Emperor held a celebration ceremony in Jingshan to celebrate the completion of the giant tripod. Not only were the gods and goddesses invited to the ceremony, but also the people from all over the world, and everyone wanted to see what the tripod cast by the Yellow Emperor looked like.

As soon as the hour comes, the Yellow Emperor personally unveiled, only to see a copper tripod that is more than three zhang high, the mouth is as big as a cylinder shining with dazzling golden light in front of the gods and people, everyone is envious, come forward to take a closer look, the body is engraved with a vigorous swimming dragon shuttling in an auspicious cloud, surrounded by ghosts and gods from all directions and all kinds of rare birds and beasts, can be described as a thousand postures, vivid.

Just as the gods were admiring the giant tripod and the patterns on it with reverence, suddenly the sky was covered with thick clouds, blocking the sunlight, and the sky soon became dark, and everyone thought it was going to rain.

At this time, a golden light pierced through the thick clouds, and a divine dragon wearing golden armor broke through the clouds, its tail and lower body were supported in the clouds, its head rested on the treasure tripod, and the long dragon whiskers hung down to the ground along the feet.

The Yellow Emperor understood that this was his mission in the world, and God sent a divine dragon to pick him up to heaven, so he jumped onto the dragon's back and flew back to heaven.

The people of the world were reluctant to let a virtuous and wise monarch like the Yellow Emperor go back, and everyone pulled the dragon's whiskers and refused to let them go, but as a result, a lot of dragon whiskers were torn off, and the Yellow Emperor and Shenlong still left. It is said that when this dragon's whisker fell to the ground, it gave birth to many small and slender grasses, and people called this grass "dragon's whisker grass" in the future.

During Yao's reign, there was a great flood in the world, and floods were everywhere, and in order to save the people, he ordered Kun to control the water.

Kun stole the Emperor's rest, used the method of "blocking" to control the water, but in vain, he was killed by the angry Emperor of Heaven in Yushan, and the candle dragon happened to be the guardian saint here.

The perennial sunlight of Yushan does not shine, and it is lit by a candle in the mouth of the candle dragon, so the body of Kun does not decay for three years. The Emperor of Heaven was afraid that Kun would be resurrected to find revenge on him, and he didn't do anything about the authenticity, so he sent a god named "Wu Dao" to take the treasure knife to the lower realm and spit.

When Wu Dao cut open Kun's belly, he suddenly blamed a dragon from inside, with a pair of sharp and sharp horns, which tossed and jumped a few times on the nearby hillside, and suddenly became a big dragon, which was Kun's son - Yu.

It is also strange to say that after Yu was born, Kun's body rolled down the feather abyss and turned into a dragon that always "raised his beard and vibrated his scales, and repaired the waves horizontally".

Yu inherited his father's will, finally subdued the flood, won the admiration of the people, and later, the elderly Shun obeyed the will of the people, and gave the throne to Yu, and Yu became the founding monarch of the Xia Dynasty, which may also be one of the historical bases for "the emperor is the true dragon son of heaven".

Of course, this is just a legend, what is the relationship between the Yellow Emperor and the dragon, or there is nowhere to verify it if you have been to the fairy world, but through the soul of the Yellow Emperor in the Xuanyuan Tomb, you know that these legends are not groundless, and the strength of the Yellow Emperor is undoubted.

Although the five-clawed golden dragon in front of him is just an illusion of magic, the vivid appearance is similar to the dragon in his heart, although there are many legends of the dragon, but no one has seen it and I don't know at all.

The dragon in front of him has two wings, a scaly body with spines, a large and long head, a pointed snout, a small nose, eyes and ears, large eye sockets, high eyebrow arches, sharp teeth, a protruding forehead, a thin neck and a large abdomen, a long tail tip, and strong limbs, just like a Chinese alligator wearing golden armor and wings.

Each part of the dragon has a specific meaning: the protruding forehead indicates wisdom and wisdom; Antlers denote sheji and longevity; The ox ear means to be the leader; The eye of the tiger expresses majesty; The devil's claws show bravery; The sword eyebrows symbolize heroism; The lion's nose symbolizes preciousness; The goldfish tail symbolizes flexibility; The horsetooth symbolizes hard work and kindness, etc.

The cloud dragon in front of Tiananmen Square, the Panyun dragon stone pillar of the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong, and the dragon bed of the Forbidden City are all signs of imperial power in history.

The phoenix, on the other hand, is more worldly and less divine. As the ancient saying goes, "there is a phoenix to come" and "the phoenix is flying", this ideal spirit bird has always been regarded as the embodiment of auspicious happiness, and also symbolizes happy love.

The theme of "dragon and phoenix auspiciousness" is more marginal in court art, with the dragon representing the emperor and the phoenix as a symbol of female concubines.

Today, the pattern of the dragon and phoenix has been recombined with the enthusiasm of tens of millions of people for artistic creation, and has gained unlimited artistic life in the fields of architecture, sculpture, painting and arts and crafts.

At this moment, the five-clawed golden dragon seemed to feel the worship of everyone, and a clear dragon groan sounded, and with a proud dodge, it had come to the top of the bone dragon's head, and then a paw slapped towards the bone dragon's head.

The people behind Lin Yu were stunned again, such a small dragon actually took the initiative to attack the huge bone dragon, isn't this looking for death? Besides, aren't these dragons all of the same kind, why are they still killing each other?

In fact, the dragon is a mythical creature with a particularly strict hierarchy, not to mention whether this bone dragon is a real dragon, even if it is a real dragon in front of the golden dragon, it is not qualified to lift shoes, and the dragon is a proud creature, since they will take the initiative to attack regardless of success or failure when they come here, this is a kind of pride from their bones.

In Chinese, dragons and insects are relative, and what is a worm is a snake. Snakes, also known as long worms, can be seen everywhere, there are many types, they are commonplace, it is not surprising, it is not expensive.

"Mixed dragons and snakes" means that good things are mixed with bad things, and it is difficult to distinguish them. This is a phenomenon that cannot be explained from a biological point of view - the prototype of the dragon, or the basic physiological animal of the dragon is the snake, and the dragon and the snake are not brothers, but at least they are of the same clan (the good name of the snake is also "dragon").

But once the dragon and the snake are separated, they do not pay attention to the snake, and even "kill" the snake in order to show that they are not the same as the snake.

The most typical is the story of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who cut the white snake, said that Liu Bang's mother Liu Yuanmeng had sex with the dragon, and was pregnant and gave birth to Liu Bang, he rarely had great ambitions, and on a wild road, he encountered a big python blocking the road, and immediately swung the sword to cut the snake, broke the abdomen and took the gall, and it was passed on as a beautiful talk, and people thought it was good. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, Liu Bang took the opportunity to raise troops in Pei County, flattened the heroes, established the Han Empire, and achieved the foundation of the Liu clan of the Han Dynasty for 400 years.

"Bang-"

"Boom—"

The two loud bangs exploded almost at the same time, and I saw that the bone dragon that had just emerged was directly slapped by the small claws of the five-clawed golden dragon, and there was a loud bang.

An incredible scene appeared, the body of the bone dragon mountain-sized was directly slapped away, smashed and flew dozens of meters away and kept rolling on the ground, with continuous rumbling sounds, and the ground was crushed by the huge body of the bone dragon into ravines.
