300 Princesses and Saints

The letter reads as follows:

Xiao Xuan, thank you for your hard work. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm busy these days, and I'm very fulfilling, because I just kidnapped someone else, and I was kidnapped by someone else in a blink of an eye, and I found that the cycle of reincarnation can also be very short. But now that I'm free, don't miss it.

Israel is a wonderful country, and I've visited stately museums and the wise old men on the streets, and I'm on my way to Italy. I miss you very much, please say hello to Lieutenant Colonel Veneto on my behalf, and convey my sincere apologies to her, I am very sorry that I have not been able to contact her for three days, and I can definitely explain it to my face. Also, please say hello to everyone on my behalf.

I firmly believe that people without childlike innocence are not creative, so I am a fantasy book lover. While smoking and chatting with the old people in Israel, I heard many unique fairy tales, and the most fascinating thing for me was the story of the hero slaying the dragon. As you know, it has been a tradition since ancient times in the Old Testament to encourage dragon slaying, and the coat of arms of England still bears the emblem of St. George, the dragon slayer. The "Dragon Slayer Knight" enjoys the glory that has been passed down since ancient times, and has been praised by the church, novels, plays, and fairy tales, but unfortunately no one has achieved this honor so far. I have read countless historical sources and concluded that there are three types of dragon slaying biographies: the dragon slaying legends circulating in Europe are the richest, with as many as 1,123 versions. There are few legends of dragon slaying in Kazakhstan and ancient Xinjiang, with only 318 versions. And in Israel, dear Xiao Xuan, I have collected three versions of the dragon slaying story, all of which I heard with my own ears from the mouth of an elderly man. Can you imagine? Even the desert peoples have preserved the ancient legend of dragon slaying! The ancestors of the major ethnic groups really spared no effort to inspire future generations to slay dragons, didn't they?

According to logic, it is no historical coincidence that the three major civilization settlements that are thousands of kilometers apart all promote the culture of dragon slaying. The reason why the dragon slaying culture is popular all over the world should be inextricably linked to the first thrust of the world's cultural dissemination: I think it is the religious power that promotes the dragon slaying culture.

Amazingly, these two thousand versions of the dragon-slaying biographies, although they are written in Old English, Arabic, and Uyghur, and although they are transmitted through different accents, their content is strikingly consistent, not only in terms of plots, but also in terms of sections. These two thousand versions of the dragon slaying story are as cookie-cutter as the website novel.

So, if my child pesters me to tell me a bedtime fairy tale, I will tell him the dragon slaying story I wrote, and my story is a mixture of old and new versions from all over the world, and it will be the most representative version in the world. I can't help but write it down and tell you first:

The saints traveled with swords and came to a kingdom. He saw that the kingdom was as quiet as a dead city, with flags on the towers and gates closed, except for a noble and beautiful princess bound to the altar outside the castle.

"Beautiful princess, what's your name? Who is willing to abandon you on the scarlet altar? The saint asked, sword in hand.

"My name is Justice, and my father dressed me in wedding clothes, and my people tied me to the altar. Because at sunset, I was greeted either by a wedding or a death. The princess replied.

"Why is sunset your dead date?" The saint asked.

"In the nearby mountains lived a seven-scaled dragon that took the royal gold, ruled over the people of the kingdom, abolished the original laws, and established entirely new rules. Despite the harsh nature of these rules, my people have barely been able to meet them. There is only one thing that has pushed my kingdom to the brink of collapse: the seven-scaled dragon must eat a maiden every day, or else it will destroy the entire country. Now, only the princess of my country can sacrifice to the dragon, so I am bound here. When the sun sets, the dragon comes and eats meβ€”and that's when I'm dead. The princess replied sadly.

The saint asks, "Why is sunset your wedding?" ”

"If the Dragon Slayer Knights protect me and my kingdom, I will offer my vows and love, and marry the warriors in the blood-colored sunset. So the sunset was my wedding. The princess replied shyly.

The saint immediately said, "I have taken this job." "Then head towards the mountains.

The princess shouted, "Come back to me!" ”

The saint came back and asked, "Why, picky about looks?" ”

The princess continued, "The seven-scaled dragon is immortal and undefeatable. Its skin is immune to all magic and blades, and only the spears of the gods can pierce its dragon scales. Do you have the Spear of God? ”

The saint said, "I don't have the spear of God, but I have the ancestral sword." ”

The princess said, "Don't make a fuss. ”

The saint showed the sword to the princess: "You see, it is really an ancestral heirloom, and it is engraved with the words 'Serve the people'." ”

The princess was dumbfounded. She said, "No, your weapon is too crude, and although the spell engraved on it can scare the dragon for a few seconds, when it comes to its senses, you will be killed." ”

The saint said in disbelief, "It seems that you do not understand the power of my sword. It is seven feet long and seven inches wide, and it is easy to shovel soil and pat garlic with hand. I can fight the dragon without a blade, and the big stick can make the dragon spin in a single stroke, and this sword can be said to be tailor-made for that dragon. ”

The princess was stunned and decided not to believe the saint, and continued to say to the saint: "There is only one way for mortals to kill it: the dragon's heart is hidden under the seven scales. Destroy the dragon's heart and it will die. ”

"So just uncovering the seven scales can expose the dragon's weakness?" The spirit of the saints too.

The princess shook her head: "No, those seven reverse scales are just ornaments, not only can they not be removed, but they are also a hundred times harder than other dragon scales. ”

"So we go back to the proposition: the dragonskin is indestructible, but we want to destroy its heart." The saint said.

The princess continued, "And the dragon's blood is highly poisonous, it is the most powerful blood in the divine realm, hotter than magma, more poisonous than the river Styx, and when poured on the angels, they will make the angels immortal; Pouring on mortals will make mortals evaporate in an instant. So if you destroy the dragon's heart, you'll be killed by the dragon's blood that spurts out. So, my dear warrior, are you ready to realize that even if you sacrifice, you will not hesitate? ”

The saint said, "I will die, and you are pretending to marry me, you liar." ”

"Rewards and risks go hand in hand. Mortals who slay dragons will pay a heavier price than angels, and mortals who slay dragons will also receive higher gifts than angels. "The princess encouraged the warriors.

"Flicker." The saint said.

"God says that the warrior of self-destruction will be favored; Believers who go to the ideal will be favored; Righteousness that moves forward courageously will be favored; Angels who protect the weak will be favored. The moment you slay the dragon, you will fulfill the four oracles at the same time, receive the gift of the law, and ascend to the rank of a favored angel. Then the blood of the poisonous dragon is poured on the body of the new angel, and it will make him far superior to all the angels; will make him the only of the one, the Seraphic of the Seraphs; He will be at the forefront of the Ninth Primordial Heaven, and he will have the appearance of the gods. This is what all the angels dream of, and this is something that the angels cannot get. The princess sincerely recited the seventh article of the seventh chapter of the Gospel of the Last Days.

"And then flicker." The saint continued.

"When the dragon slayer returns as an angel, he will bless the whole kingdom and will bless me. He will return all the gold, repeal the dragon's edicts, establish a new order, and return everything to its fairytale ending. The princess said expectantly.

The saint said, "Although I need a wife very much, I am more nostalgic for this miserable world, and since I will definitely die fighting with the dragon, I still cherish my life." The saint drew his sword and prepared to leave.

The princess gazed firmly at the back of the saint: "You will definitely fight for me." The dragons have eaten my sisters, privacy, liberty, democracy, they have all been eaten. You are my people, and I am your only faith and hope. I know you love me. You need me. You can't bear me, you can't do without me. You've spent the first half of your life dreaming about me, and you know that if you hold back, you're going to have nightmares about me for the rest of your life. ”

"Why are you so confident?" The saint asked.

"Because you're heading towards the Dragon Mountains." The princess smiled sweetly. (To be continued.) )
