Chapter 42: The Secret History of the Dragons
The third prince was hung on the beam of the hanging house for two days, and almost the water and rice did not hit the teeth. He shouted and scolded, and no one paid attention to him. The rich second generation simply counted the sheep and slept for a few years, woke up and continued to scold.
Zhu Yan led his newlywed son Zhu Wu to pass by, and when he saw the housekeeper guarding the door, he asked about the situation of the third prince. The housekeeper said, "Master, it's been two days, and this beak is harder than a duck's beak, and I don't think this person is a fake." ”
Zhu Yan laughed: "I didn't say that he was a fake." ”
Zhu Wu was surprised, "Father, isn't it a crime for us to detain him like this?" Father, we can't kill the killer just because this person is arrogant and talks a few nonsense on a happy day. ”
Zhu Yan said: "How can I not know. Your father and I have also cultivated for more than 2,000 years as an earth immortal, cultivated immortals for a thousand years, and served as an immortal official for a thousand years. Can't I even see that this guy is also the blood of the dragon clan? Let me tell you, he is not only a dragon, but also has his in-law Hanging Dragon Nedan in his body, he is a double yolk egg, understand? The Inner Dan of the Hanging Dragon is something that many cave masters in Luding Mountain can want. Hehe, you stupid boy, don't you want him to send it to the door himself? ”
Zhu Wu was even more surprised, "Father, you didn't go to his Hanging Dragon Neidan, did you?" ”
Zhu Yan's eyes narrowed, "What nonsense!" There are gods three feet above his head. This time, my old eyes were dizzy, and the old man only found out that he stole the Hanging Dragon Inner Dan, and the rest, the old man didn't see it. I am loyal to protect it, I am eager for revenge, and I kill this guy, even if Heavenly Court blames it, I have something to say. ”
Zhu Wu, the new river god, said, "Father, we are the river officials of Qinfeng, we have no killing power, and according to the rules of the year, the waters are under the jurisdiction of the dragon clan, and this thing that offends the dragon clan can't be done too much." ”
Zhu Yan stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.
Zhu Wu leaned his face closer and asked in a low voice, "Father, is there a mystery?" ”
Zhu Yan still shook his head and walked into the inner room. Zhu Wu followed all the way in, Zhu Yan closed the door, picked up the tea bowl, and took a sip, "Son, have you thought about it, as soon as the Dead Sea is broken, the situation of greed and perversion of the law and chaos in the underworld will be lifted, and the heavenly court will take the opportunity to exempt several officials, and even the ghost judgment master book will be exempted, which is a thunderous shuffle." Can you know the deep meaning of Heavenly Court this time? ”
After all, Zhu Wu is young, "Nine thousand unjust souls died in Dafang Town, and the Dead Sea was in vain, and this ghost sentence should indeed be punished." ”
Zhu Yan sighed lightly, "I only know one thing, I don't know the other, let me tell you, the underworld and the dragon clan have always been very close, and they have a lot to do with it." ”
Zhu Wu said, "Suppress the dragon clan? ”
Zhu Yan nodded, "Boy, I'll popularize history for you." Zhu Yan stroked his beard and said.
It turned out that after Pangu divided heaven and earth, four tribes appeared: heaven, man, underworld, and dragon. Originally, the dragon clan was the most powerful and ruled the four seas for a long time, but with the passage of time, although the Celestial Clan people were scarce, they were full of talents, and gradually seized the dominant position by relying on the talent strategy. In the prehistoric period, in order to compete for territory, the dragon clan and the celestial clan launched a fierce war, the dragon clan was defeated, human beings because of their support for the celestial clan, received the blessing and protection of the celestial clan, and gave the human race quota on time to promote the immortals, and the outlaws in the fairy world also had to fight to the world to suffer and experience calamities, so the relationship between the leader and the led was formed, and it has been stable until now; Because of his support for the dragon clan, the underworld was beaten under the Nine Springs, and he could only work as a jailer. The dragon clan is still nominally a big clan and enjoys treatment, but the heirs have never been promoted by the heavenly court. However, the human race continued to ascend to the heavenly court, which made the dragon race very uncomfortable.
After the war, the Celestial Clan and the Dragons made an agreement that the land with water would be under the jurisdiction of the Dragons, and the places with soil would be under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Clans. The Celestial Clan sent a number of officials to rule the Dragon Clan in the lower realm and led the Terran to control the water, but because the previous high-level immortal officials not only did not have actual combat experience, but also had full official shelves, they were not able to have a good relationship with the two clans, and they were finally squeezed back by the Dragon Clan. Until the Heavenly Clan sent King Yu to the lower realm, on the one hand, he let the common people of mankind worship the dragon clan, respect the dragon clan as the king of the four seas, let the dragon clan enjoy the glory of incense, and the old dragon king is very useful; On the one hand, it conforms to the feng shui pattern of mountains and rivers, dredges rivers into the sea, develops water conservancy, and cultivates farmland, which is welcomed by both sides. King Yu was promoted by the Heavenly Clan because of his political achievements, and before returning to his life, the Dragon Clan held a banquet in the Deep Sea Dragon Palace to see him off, and King Yu went to Heaven after getting drunk.
The next day, King Yu sent someone to send a message, saying that the ruler of the water depth was dropped in the Longgong Taimiao, and asked him to help find it. The dragon king sent people to look for it, and sure enough, he found a ruler standing on the wall of the temple, and he couldn't carry it after taking it a few times, and he found many people's hands, but he still couldn't carry it. After returning to King Yu, King Yu said, Oh, I forgot to tell you, the ruler weighs hundreds of thousands of catties, and all of you can't hold it together. Moreover, once there is too much wind and waves in the sea, it will automatically increase the altitude, automatically measure the water depth, water temperature, and salinity, and automatically complete the survey and measurement tasks. Therefore, once this thing grows taller and collapses unsteadily, your Taimiao will not be able to keep it. In this way, one day the king of Ben will go to the sea to inspect and retrieve it himself.
How can it be! King Yu is no longer in charge of water conservancy! What years can you cruise?
The Dragon King knew that he had won the plan, which was falling, and it was clear that King Yu deliberately hung a knife on his head before leaving office. If you raise a little more storm, the ruler will smash the Taimiao and make the dragon foundation disappear. The dragon king accidentally fell for the routine, but what about anger? From then on, the dragons were honest. For almost 3,000 years, the world continent has been in good weather, and there has never been a major flood, and there is no need for Noah's Ark. But the dragon clan has never been willing to be subject to others, because it hooks up with the underworld, so the dragon clan can use the hand of the underworld to indirectly enter and intervene in the human race.
The dragon king is strange and lewd by nature, and he always has to give birth to a few dolls when he goes around, and the three dragons are not idle, they are everywhere and leave a number of heirs in the world. Most of these heirs have some skills in the human world, and they often call for wind and rain in the human world, enter and exit the phase, rank as the third duke, and gradually take charge of the major politics of the human world in many dynasties. Therefore, in order to commemorate the ancestors, no matter which emperor ascends the throne, they all claim to be the true dragon son of heaven, there are true and false, of course, there are many fakes, such as Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Hong Xiuquan, are just heroes in the human race, and they have nothing to do with the dragon, and even if it is a real dragon bloodline, it is mostly a collateral branch of the dragon and humans or other divine beasts.
Seeing this, the Celestial Clan began to ignore it, but later found that since the Zhou Dynasty, the chance of self-produced emperors in the human world has become smaller and smaller, and the cycle of unifying the country has become shorter and shorter. The Seven Heroes of the Warring States, the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, are often wars for hundreds of years, and the investigation revealed that it is because the dragon clan has too many heirs in the human race, and it is caused by infighting. The dragon clan has the ruthlessness of snakes, they are arrogant, unruly, arrogant, they not only fight with people, but also fight among themselves, making the world chaotic, the Zhou Dynasty etiquette that the human race has worked hard to establish has been lost, the people's hearts are not ancient, and the revival of Zhou rites has not succeeded for more than 3,000 years. The Celestial Clan felt that the game was a bit big, so there was an unspoken rule, that is, it was forbidden for the Dragon Clan to ascend to the Immortal in the non-descendant descendants of the human race, that is, no matter how the dragon in your human world tossed, my Celestial Clan did not recognize it, which cut off the channel for the descendants of the Dragon Clan to ascend to immortals. It can be seen that the eight immortals and stove kings who cultivated immortals in later generations needless to say, even Guan Yu, Qin Qiong, and Wei Chigong These generals can fly into immortals, but there are very few emperors who fly to immortals, and the obvious example is the emperor of the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, who ignored state affairs and cultivated alchemy all his life, but he has not yet become an immortal. So these dragon heroic souls have always wandered back and forth, reincarnated, and parasitic in the world.
"This third prince hanging on a beam, oh, he calls himself the third prince, is one of them. So I killed this kid, Heavenly Court will only blame you on the surface, and will not really commit crimes, and maybe you can be promoted. Zhu Yan said, "Of course, as long as he is willing to spit out Neidan, I will naturally save the entanglement and give him the whole corpse." ”
After that, the two pushed the door into the house, and the third prince didn't know the murderous plan, and was still scolding, "Lao Zhu, you let Lao Tzu's scales fall off a lot, there is a kind of don't let me go, if you let me go, I will definitely slaughter your whole family." ”
Zhu Yan said to his son, "I'm so scared, you just got married, and he is going to slaughter our whole family, what should we do?" ”
Zhu Wu still couldn't make a move, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed his head and bowed to his father, not daring to speak more, his palms were full of cold sweat.
"You're useless, is it my son?" Zhu Yan blamed: "You know what to do!" Then he turned around and left.
Zhu Wu, who had just been a river god for a few years, was very entangled, and if he didn't let go, he had to do it cleanly; Let it go, this kid is arrogant at first glance, and he can't stab Lou Zi.
Zhu Wu arched his hand and said, "I don't know if you are from the Dragon Clan, but the Hanging Dragon's Inner Dan is definitely not yours, please hand it over to me, and I will return it to Heavenly Court through the procedure." ”
"That's my dragon clan's thing, how can I give it to you, a hairy little official!" The third prince still retains the majesty of a dragon.
Zhu Wu also endured the fire, "If you don't pay it, I'm afraid we can only take it ourselves." After that, he took out his waist knife and held it in both hands, and he was ready to operate on the third prince.
The third prince shouted angrily, "Bold little official, who gave you the leopard guts!" Do you dare to slay a dragon? ”
Zhu Wu turned his wrist and swung a knife diagonally, the blade grazed the third prince's head, and as a handful of hair flew with the sword qi, the bundle of immortal ropes broke off against the blade, and the third prince fell heavily to the ground. Zhu Wu turned his head, didn't look at the third prince, and said loudly, "I don't care if you are true or not, after all, it is not what you want to come to my house, so ..... There you go! ”
The third prince also wanted to urge the internal force to give Zhu Wu a hand and prove his combat strength, but after thinking that it was important to complete the task, he snorted and pushed the door out. As soon as I went out, I saw that the small courtyard in the backyard was full of family generals, wearing armor and holding spears, and there were also archers in ambush on the roof. The housekeeper stood in the crowd and shouted, "I heard that there are thieves in the backyard, and sure enough, it's here!" ”
The third prince is still looking around to help find it, where are the thieves? Only one of them.
"Where are the thieves?" Before the person arrived, the sound arrived first, and from behind the arch of the sergeant's shield array, a person ran in in a panic, it was Zhu Yan. The little old man was sweating profusely, and he looked flustered, "Oh, my back hall is the storage place of the confidential documents of the Heavenly Court, and this thief has taken my confidential documents, and he can't let him run away!" ”
When the third prince heard this, my God, you are the whole family to make me detain. Okay, master, I won't explain today, let's have a blood-spattered river god mansion and kill him three in and three out. The third prince pulled out.... The waist was empty, everything was searched, the third prince was in a hurry, and a grunt rolled into the crowd, kicked down a familyman, took a spear, and fought with all the family. The third prince leaned over to dodge the three spears that stabbed him, lowered his body and stabbed with a gun, and a family member fell to the ground with a sigh, turning into a little hyena with a golden hair and black mane, the third prince pointed to the old river god Zhu Yan who was protected by the family and scolded, "Good for you, an official of the Heavenly Court, you dare to hook up with the goblins, and you also hired a goblin nurse!" "Seeing that the earth immortals of the Heavenly Court will hire a little monster who has not yet cultivated the immortal Tao, the third prince doesn't care about it, he stabs people when he sees them, and kills them when he has the opportunity, and his shot is a killing move. After all, his two inner pills are in his body, and his physical strength is extremely full, and after a while, the family will be killed and turned into foxes, voles and badgers.
Zhu Wu ran out, and when he saw that his father arranged for the family to arrest the third prince, he begged Zhu Yan, "Father, I have promised to let him go, why did you go back on your word and take me in your pocket." This dragon cannot be killed, and sooner or later it will be punished. ”
Zhu Yan also ignored this cowardly son, and commanded the sergeant Manyuan to surround the third prince, who jumped up and crossed the ridge, drilled down the chicken coop and dog hole, and was beaten to the point of embarrassment. But with the protection of Neidan, the third prince had endurance and fought left and right, and found a way out. The transfer of troops was urgent just now, and the door in the backyard didn't have time to be locked, so it seems that don't think about closing the door and beating the dog.
Seeing that the opportunity was in front and the bloody road had been opened, the third prince ignored the slashing of the pursuers, and fled to the door regardless of the tail, and when he saw the door, a golden light flew from the side, and a silver needle was impartially pierced on the neck of the third prince, and the third prince rolled his eyes and fainted suddenly. It was the old man Zhu Yan who was hiding behind the pillars who blew the needle.
Zhu Yan stepped forward and kicked the third prince who had fainted, and said in a Jiaodong accent, "Alas, this set of plum blossom needles given by Wu Zuhongpho, a native of Shangjin Dao, is really effective." Hurry up, hurry up and tie it up again. After a while, I hurriedly took the Nedan away. ”
The old man Zhu Yan finished his work with the third prince and turned into the front hall, but saw that it was the Taoist Wu Zu Hongpho, who was holding his bloody arm and running in with his face covered in blood, and that running was almost crawling. Seeing Shang Jin so embarrassed, Zhu Yan hurriedly helped him up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Wu Hongpho, a native of Shangjin Dao, cried a handful of snot and tears, "I ran into stubble, why are you so unlucky these days!" ”
In this way, I told the story of what happened.
