Chapter 22: Searching for the Dragon
The so-called Yao Ming Xia Cang has been unable to control the water for nine years. The cangs sink into the feather abyss and turn into a fish. When the plant vibrates the scales across the waves, the person who sees it is called the river spirit, and the feather abyss and the river and the sea are also connected. The ancients built a temple under the feather mountain, and sacrificed at four o'clock. It is common for this black fish and dragon to come out, and the audience is frightened. To Shun Mingyu, Shuchuan Dianyue, travel all over the sun and moon, but do not trample the land of Yushan. Ji Juhai is the turtle for the beam, and the dragon is negative for the mountain, all of which are holy and virtuous.
Of course, the Jiaolong is low and small in front of the dragon, but in front of the human race, it is a top predator with scales and claws, down to the common people, up to the three Lu doctors, all of whom have been plagued by the dragon. Today, when the common people wrap zongzi on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, they also have to wrap neem leaves and wrap colorful threads, which is the legacy of reverence for the dragon. Even within the boundaries of Luozhou in Lingnan, there are many red turtles in the water. The size of the turtle is like a spoon and bright red. Whether it is a beast or a buffalo, after entering the water, it is dragged into a deep pool, sucking the blood and dying. The people said, "This is the red turtle that Jiaolong assigned to drag." It can be regarded as another kind of "what everyone wants". Or rather, infamy!
After fighting against Jiaolong for a long time, people have also learned to protect themselves. The people of Yue Di are familiar with the nature of water, so they must carve carved patterns on their bodies to avoid the harm of dragons. Nowadays, there are people in Jiangnan who tattoo patterns on their faces, which is probably the spread of the old custom of carving and painting their foreheads. Most of the people of Jiangdong use camphor wood to make boats. This kind of ship is also intended to fight the dragon. It is said that when the South Vietnamese swallowed an elephant with a snake, the people beat drums and shouted, and the snake retreated into a valley. After a night, the people went with their reels and urns. You can see that an elephant is still standing, but its muscles and bones are all turned into water, so it is pierced with a needle, and the water in it is taken and placed in the boat when crossing the sea, so that it can hide from the dragon. As for the emperor's generals, it is even more extravagant, the mermaid ointment is the fuel of the ever-bright lamp in the emperor's mausoleum, its quality is like yin and yang, and where the mermaid goes, the dragons are prostrate because of the greed for the mermaid's song. Therefore, Fang Shi often uses mermaid ointment and blood-stained silk to make an umbrella, called the fish umbrella, holding this umbrella across the river, it can avoid the misfortune of the dragon devouring, and can cover the pure yin quality of the first human form for the formed spirit, so as to avoid the thunder and fire of the spirit yin to attract the thunder and fire of the sky.
Of course, for 5,000 years, there are still real warriors who have eliminated harm for the people, and the famous Erlang God prototype figure, Comrade Li Bing, the chief designer of Dujiangyan, is one of the leaders! It is rumored that when Li Bing was the county guard in Shu County, there was a dragon that made waves every year, and the people often soaked in the water and looked at each other from afar. Li Bing then went into the water to kill it, wanting to eliminate harm for the people. He picked hundreds of brave soldiers, armed with strong bows and arrows, and agreed in advance: "I will tie a big white silk belt on my head and fight with the river god, so that you can distinguish and shoot the unmarked one." "
Li Bing snorted and entered the water. In an instant, the wind and thunder were blowing, and the sky and the earth were the same. After calming down a little, I saw two dragons fighting on the shore. The silk ribbon on Li Bing's head is long and white, which is very eye-catching; The soldiers raised their arrows and fired them at the river god, killing him instantly. Since then, the people of Shu County have never suffered from floods again. Until now, when the flood occurred, the turbid wave was about to rush to Li Bing's ancestral hall, but it weakened again and rolled into the distance. In the fifth year of Taihe in the Tang Dynasty, flooding. Li Bing turned into a dragon, and killed with the dragon at the entrance of Dujiangyan, still marked by a white silk belt, and went down the river. The floods of Mian, Zi, and Tong prefectures in Jiangdong overflowed all the rivers and valleys, and dozens of counties were affected, but only Xishu was unharmed. As for how many of them are real people and real things, and how many are feelings, it's just a matter of opinion!

Of course, when the dragon is full of evil, there will always be calamities, most of which are heavenly calamities, and a few are human calamities. For example, the Jiao in Longtan is a plague. Jiaolong was also unwilling to be killed, and tried every means to escape the catastrophe. There was once a great Buddhist Taoist Xuan Zen master, who was a senior monk of the Vinaya. Suddenly, one day, a thunderbolt circled around the outside of Zen Master Daoxuan's house, and the sound was continuous. The Tao said: "I have kept the precepts and have not transgressed; But whether there is a sin in a previous life or not, I don't know. So he took off three pieces of clothing and put them outside the house, saying that the dragon could hide inside. But after the clothes were delivered, the thunderclap continued. Dao Xuan looked at his ten fingernails, and saw a small black dot like a sesame seed on the little finger of his right hand, and he was quite puzzled, so he stretched out the finger from the window, and there was a thunderclap, and the little finger was shaken off in half. It turns out that the black spot is the hiding place of the dragon!
There is also the monk Zhikong Master of Jianyuan Temple in Jinling County of the Tang Dynasty, the depth of Taoism and practice is famous in the local area, one night when he was more than 70 years old, the gate has been closed, and suddenly there was a strong wind and thunder, just like rising from the meditation hall. The thunder rumbled, the wind blew out the candles and raised dust, and the surroundings were so dark that the eaves were shaken by the thunder. Zhikong looked around in horror and said to himself, "It has been forty-eight years since I abandoned my family and became a monk. The thunderstorm is so mad, isn't it something that Shenlong is angry with me? If not, is the guilty deserving of being thundered to death? Later, when the thunder became louder, he sat down again and prayed, saying, "I have been a monk for more than 50 years since I was a teenager, so am I acting contrary to the teachings of the Buddha?" If not, there is a place to blaspheme the dragon, right? If so, how dare I escape the punishment of death? If not, then I hope that the sky will open as soon as possible, so that the monks of the whole monastery can be liberated. When he had finished speaking, he heard a loud noise, which seemed to come from his side, and the cushions and beds were shattered, and a puff of black smoke rushed over him, and he fell to the ground in fright.
After a meal, the sound calmed down, the clouds dispersed, and the weather cleared. But Zhikong felt a fishy smell, as if it was in his house, so he held a candle to look at it, and found a dragon's skin at the foot of the wall, several zhang long, and blood flowed all over the ground. It turns out that there is a locust tree in the north of this meditation hall, which is dozens of zhang high, and the locust tree was killed by thunder, and it was split along the texture, and there was a dragon in it.
Someone burns and kills the dragon, and after all, he will inevitably be killed by the dragon. The legendary Ouyue people in Luoli County, Hepu County, have intermarried with Lingshui Dragon and Luo Shuilong for generations to domesticate the evil dragon and poison dragon. The current Longhua County is named because of this. The big dragons in the famous water such as the South Tiantai of the East China Sea, the Peng Li of Tingchuan, and the stone all know the ancestors of this branch. There are even people who ask for immortals to ask to the head of the Jiaolong, during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, there is a dragon that becomes a Taoist, Hong Zhen, a person from Shexian County, worships him as a teacher, and learns the magic power in Jilong Mountain, Wuyuan County, and rebels, and finally does not know what to do.
Becoming a spirit monster is also divided into standards, feathered birds and beasts can speak, earth spirits and wood monsters can walk, and evil demons and ghosts can change into people. Jiaolong also has at least four or five dragon veins on its body, but the blood on its body is mixed, the dragon does not become a dragon, it does not form a climate, it has the shape of a dragon, and it has no dragon ability. The realgar carried by the Taoist priest really had a miraculous effect. If it weren't for the drug-induced attack, I don't know how many people would have died. That is, the thing in front of me is only at the stage of first knowing the change, and it is not tricky!
