Chapter 150: Raising Dragons

The soldiers who had received modern education looked at each other, and Shi Ling asked, "Why is it called Fenglong Valley?" ”

"Legend has it that there is a dragon raised below, feeding on people passing by, and no one knows the truth." The old man looked at him with a mysterious look and said, "Anyway, no one who went will come back."

"Raising dragons?" "Dragons can also be raised?"

"You think it's Longkong Mountain!"

Or Shi Ling people groaned: "Although the descendants of Yan and Huang claim to be the descendants of the dragon, but when the three generations, the status of the dragon is indeed not high, "Bamboo Book Chronicle" records: There are flying dragons, hidden dragons, Julongs, descending dragons, earth dragons, water dragons, green dragons, red dragons, white dragons, black dragons, and yellow dragons. "Zuo Chuan: Zhao 29 Years": "The public gave the Gong Yan Lamb Qiu, so that the dragon was supplemented by the Marquis of Qi"; "Collecting Memories" also said: Shun Shi, "the country of Nanxun dedicated the dragon, a female and a male, placed the palace of the dragon, to the Xia Dynasty, the dragon is endless, because of the life of the family." It shows that the Xia Dynasty prevailed in the custom of raising dragons and using dragons as the clan name of the clan group. It is recorded in some ancient books: The surname of the person who was the superior of the Xia Dynasty, Fenglong, was Liu, and he was the ancestor of Han Gao! There are more dragons from generation to generation, (from the "Book of Truths") Niu monks and children town Xiangzhou day, with a long drought, prayers are not answered, there are priests from the clouds of the dragon, the public please rain. The priest said: "There is no dragon between Jiang and Han, there is only one river, and there is also a black dragon." Forcibly evicting them is a disaster and difficult to control. "The public is stubborn. If there is heavy rain, the Han water is swollen and thousands of households are drowned. The priest was afraid of sin, and died.

The little warrior didn't understand, and even the instructor added oil and vinegar to explain that the Tang Dynasty Niu Monk Confucianism was a generation of famous ministers, and later the party leader of the party struggle, when he was guarding Xiangzhou as a magistrate, because of a long drought, the sacrifice for rain did not work, I heard that there was a hermit who was a dragon, and Niu Gong asked him to find a way to make it rain. The hermit said, "There are no dragons in the Jianghan area, but there is only one in the pool, which is a black dragon." If you force it out, you will be afraid of causing a disaster, and it will be difficult to restrain it. Niu Gong insisted that he do it, and he went. Sure enough, it rained heavily, and the Han River swelled, flooding tens of thousands of households. The hermit, fearing to blame him, fled and disappeared ....... It was probably since then that the technique of raising dragons has been lost.

While talking, he looked at Shi Lingren, which means how unreliable this sounds. I know best who Shi Ling people are, they have nothing to do on the surface, but they are actually very arrogant, and they took over the topic at the moment: "We are the descendants of the dragon, and I always think that the status of the ancient dragon should be more noble, look, Emperor Yan, Emperor Huangdi, Yao, Shun, these holy kings, people have to have something to do with the dragon; Almost all emperors in later generations also had to work hard to prove that they were dragons. But let's be honest, dragons didn't have as much status in ancient times as we think. First of all, dragons are mainly engaged in blue-collar jobs. It is the basic duty of the dragon to travel the clouds and spread the rain, even if he is the dragon king, this kind of dirty work has to be done in person. In the power system of the Immortal Kingdom, there are two departments responsible for rainfall, one is the meteorological department with a more detailed professional division of labor composed of Thor, Fengbo, Electric Mother, and Rain Master, and the other is the Dragon King system that does not adopt the division of labor and cooperation. Although the dragon king has many shrimp soldiers and crabs, it is still impossible to go if it rains.

There is a story in "Strange Tales of Liaozhai" that a diplomat surnamed Wang was on an envoy to Ryukyu, and the ship was sailing on the sea, when suddenly a dragon fell from the air, causing a splash several feet high. The dragon floats and sinks with the waves on the sea, its chin resting on the bow of the ship, its eyes half-open and half-closed, and its spirit is calm. The boatman said that this is a dragon that rains in the sky, because the work is too hard and the physical strength is not exhausted, so it falls from the sky, which is called a "tired dragon". Soon after, several more tired dragons fell, all of them looking half tired and half dead. If you are only responsible for rainfall, you can barely get by. Unfortunately, dragons are often caught poorly. In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", almost all immortals with heads and faces must be equipped with special means of transportation when they go out, and this work is naturally contracted by dragons who can go to the sky and the sea. To say that these immortals are really old man, Jumang in the East, Zhurong in the South, and Harvest in the West, all of them are driving two dragons when they go out. Yu in the north said that he was driving two green snakes, but in fact, the green snake was also a green dragon. At that time, there were two dragons walking out, which was even more magnificent than the current Maserati.

In fact, the dragon has no actual position at all, so he can be regarded as a scattered immortal. In the eyes of ordinary people, dragons belong to water creatures. It can talk about things in the water, but it is only responsible for grassroots affairs, and in the heavenly realm, which is the center of politics, Long is not even qualified to attend, let alone participate in decision-making; It basically only has a job, and has never enjoyed any special treatment. There are also some less dignified jobs that are also left to the dragons to do. In order to show respect and set an example for mortals, the Emperor of Heaven often organizes a more solemn welcome ceremony, one of the important ones is to send a dragon as a special car to greet them, and it may also be that the flying skills of these new immortals are not skilled enough. The Yellow Emperor ascended to immortality and Xiao Shi Chenglong, all of which are like this. In this way, there are still many immortals who think that the dragon is too rustic, has no mood, and is not petty bourgeoisie, and would rather ride the crane instead. Although the dragon is a god in the sky, in the eyes of the ancients, it basically belongs to the role of beckoning and lingering. Dragons rarely have the opportunity to show their "independent spirit, free thought". How much rain and where it falls, all have to listen to the emperor of heaven, we often see such a scene in the Ming and Qing Dynasty gods and demons novels, the emperor of heaven sent someone to take the token, to the dragon king's house to announce the order, and then the dragon king has to go out to work, there is no price to say. The story of killing the dragon king in Wei Zheng's dream is about the dragon king who was angry with the fortune teller and did not rain according to the regulations, and as a result, he lost his little life.

Not only the Emperor of Heaven, but also monks and Taoist priests with some skills, can also command dragons at will. In the Song Dynasty, there was a Luo Taoist priest in Wuchang, Hubei, who was quite capable. One day when he was doing things on the Yellow Crane Tower, he suddenly pointed at a person who was watching and scolded him, telling him to get out of here. The kid didn't dare to say much, and immediately jumped into the Yangtze River. Everyone was surprised, and Daoist Luo said that this person was actually a white dragon in the river and wanted to harm Wuchang City, so I drove him away. Everyone didn't believe it, saying that Daoist Luo must be playing a double reed with that person, trying to fool us, if you have the ability, you can ask Bailong to show up and let us open our eyes. Luo Daoshi agreed, put a spell into the river, soon, the river was gray, a white dragon hundreds of zhang long appeared in the river, rolling up and down, everyone was convinced. Although the dragon can go up to the sea and the sea, people can't help but keep him as a domestic animal.

It is said that when Emperor Shun, there was a man named Dong's father, who understood the diet and daily life of dragons, so he raised a large group of dragons, and when Emperor Shun needed to go out, he arranged transportation, and Emperor Shun was happy, and gave him a fief and rewarded him with the name Fenglong. But with the change of time, by the Xia Dynasty, the technology of the dragon was gradually lost. Therefore, there will always be some curious people in later generations, who will do everything possible to revive the technology of raising and slaughtering dragons. It is said that this craft appeared in the Tang Dynasty, when someone in the capital Chang'an specially raised dragons for the emperor, and the breeders with high levels could judge whether there were dragons in it as long as they looked at the turbidity of the water, and how the color was; If anyone accidentally lets the dragon get lost, they can also catch it. Since you can raise dragons as domestic animals, you can also eat dragons as domestic animals. For example, as mentioned above, the dragon clan, his descendant Liu Lei, once died of a dragon in the circle because of his poor breeding skills, so he made the dead dragon into a dragon meat soup casserole for King Xia to try. Unexpectedly, Xia Wang was addicted to eating, and he had to serve this dish every meal. Liu Lei thought, this dragon meat will be eaten one day, won't it kill me in the future? Fearful, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he simply slipped away, and inherited the line of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, incognito.

A long, long time later, there was also a Jinshi Cui Daoji from the Boling Cui clan in the Tang Dynasty, who accidentally gained fame in the examination, and was happy in his heart, and before he knew it, he got drunk and slept in the hotel. The servant drew water from the well and found a fish, and Lao Cui said, "Just right, use this fish to make a bowl of decanting soup and sober up the wine for me." Not long after eating, a yellow-clothed messenger came to the lower realm to announce the decree: "Cui Daoji, a little jinshi, dares to kill the dragon!" You could have been the prime minister and lived over seventy, but now it's all written off! That night, Choi Do-ki fell ill and died. Although Lao Cui is from five surnames and seven families, after all, he is a mortal with a low status, and he must be severely punished for eating a dragon, which seems to be a strict law enforcement; But in the fairy world, it is to handle it with care. For example, in the middle of the trouble, Nezha played the role of Monkey King in "Journey to the West". The stubborn Nezha didn't know that the belly pocket and wrist bracelet he was carrying were the treasures of the immortals, and when he was bathing in Jiuhe Bay, he put his belly pocket in the water and made the East China Sea vibrate, and even the Crystal Palace vibrate. Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, sent the Patrol Yaksha to investigate, but the Patrol Yaksha sent was killed by the stubborn Nezha with a treasure. Ao Guang sent his third prince to investigate, but the third prince was also killed by Nezha, and he was even more skinned and cramped by Nezha. In the end, Ao Guang asked Nezha's father Li Jing Daxing for his guilt, and declared that he would report to the Emperor of Heaven. Nezha was not convinced, and chased Ao Guang who was on the road and beat him.

Killing innocents indiscriminately is not counted, but also killed the Dragon Prince Ao Bing, as one of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, his father Ao Guang wants to take revenge, and he can only beg the Emperor of Heaven to uphold justice several times. You don't see the role of the Dragon King in "Romance of the Gods", almost the same as in "Journey to the West", becoming a supporting role and a harlequin. Even in the end, the Dragon King of the Four Seas reported this matter to the Emperor of Heaven, and grabbed Li Jing's family and relieved him to be judged by the Heavenly Court. and claimed that the city would be flooded, and at this time, he took the blame alone, disemboweled, and returned his parents to his bones, which calmed down the matter. In the end, Nezha was resurrected with the help of his master Taiyi Zhenren, and served as the vanguard of King Wu's war. After that, the dragon king was not mentioned in "Romance of the Gods". Apparently being put in small shoes! ”

At this time, a communication soldier ran over and reported: The third group has found Yu Zujia and them! When Shi Ling heard this, tears were about to come out.

"Director Xia has taken over the command of this search, but under the opposition of Shi Lingren, a total of four groups have been divided.

The two groups set off from Longtan Village, and the two groups set off from Longtan Village, and agreed to meet in the central part.

After asking the direction, the Shiling people went straight over, so they didn't have time to think about the problem of Fenglong Valley again.

"Is this the real so-called ghost hitting the wall?" As soon as Yu Zujia saw Shi Lingren, he asked happily: "We have already turned around here dozens of times." I've tried the double-slit interference phenomenon you mentioned, and it doesn't seem to be the same. ”

"We're not afraid!" Seeing that Yu Zujia and the four of them were all intact, Shi Ling didn't know how to be happy.

"Luckily, we were prepared to bring compressed biscuits and enough to eat, but we were short of water.

I can find some dew in the morning.

"All the people who came with him were acquaintances, and the forensic doctor Lao Wharf gulped down the soldier's kettle and said in good spirits.

Lao Wang gave Shi Lingren a punch and said, "I knew you would come!" You're coming faster than I thought! "

After investigation, this is indeed the nameless mountain.

At this time, a report came: the plane is coming! Yu Zujia waved his hand and said, "Tell them to wait a little longer and fly over!" "

The clues found by Yu Zujia are very important, tracking down the belly that suddenly escaped from the hospital to here, and he is really unwilling to give up easily: "He's nearby!" Let's search again.

Lao Wang said that they happened to find that day that the signal tracking the belly was also flashed at that time, showing that it was near Longtan Village.

The problem is, they find it strange, and they should say: the signal was set in advance - it was only launched at noon, and it was late at night! Yu Zujia decided to follow the past - to see what was going on.

Fortunately, before leaving, the forensic doctor called the bureau to send the last direction information.

Approaching the bottom, the cell phone signal suddenly went out...... The tracker signal also lost the sharp eyes of Lao Wang, and he found a black shadow fleeing eastward.

So they chased after them, and they came to this place...... But I found that the signal couldn't be sent, people couldn't go out, and even the watch compass... It's all stopped. It seems to have entered the natural magnetic field, but the problem is that the geological data of previous dynasties and dynasties did not indicate this.

Looking at Beidou at night, they definitely couldn't get out, and several times, they chose a good direction at noon in the sun, and finally found that they were back in place.

What's funnier is that he ran into a belly several times - he ran away, and it didn't take long for him to run into ...... I guess he got lost too.

So Yu Zujia thinks that he can be caught - he must still be nearby.

The fourth group also sent a message: they were arriving here soon.

At the same time, it was reported that after passing through a dense forest, a man with a belly was found, and he looked like he was suffering from heat stroke.

Yu Zujia's haggard face was full of happiness.

There was white foam in the belly and mouth, and it looked like a breath. The plane is coming, pick up the belly first.

Yu Zujia asked for first-level protection and must wake him up.

Due to the convergence of the four teams, almost all this area was searched, and nothing more was found - Yu Zujia decided to withdraw temporarily.
