Chapter 29: The Dragon in the Water Prison (Special Part 8)
p> The legend about the evil dragon, Ding Lingxiu has seen it in the history of demons, and the approximate story is like this:
p> A long time ago, there were two scholars, one surnamed Zhao and his name was Kuang; One is surnamed Li and named Long, they are studying in the same school, and they are in the same book day and night, which is better than their own brothers.
> Once, the two were playing in the water by the river, and Zhao Kuang picked up an egg the size of a pigeon's egg in a grotto on the bank of the Songhua River. He asked Li Long to come and see, and Li Long took it in his hand and looked at it, but he didn't know what kind of egg it was, so he leaned under his nose and sniffed it. But the strange egg rolled into his mouth, and before he could spit it out, it rolled down his throat and fell straight into his stomach.
p> Zhao Kuang began to think that Li Long deliberately swallowed it, and complained that he was too reckless, what if it was a poisonous egg? Li Long swore that it was not intended to be devoured, but that it had rolled down on its own. Both of them felt strange this time, especially Li Long, since he swallowed the egg, he always felt like he was pregnant with a ghost fetus, and he didn't even have the heart to study. After a few days, Zhao Kuang found that Li Long was changing, first of all, his personality was changing, and he became very cold to people, and secondly, his temper slowly became irritable, and he fought with his classmates in the school hall at every turn, and his strength was infinite, and the students in the whole hall could not beat him together. What especially made Zhao Kuang feel strange, since he swallowed that strange egg, he slept with him in the same bed at night, felt that he was cold, asked him if he was sick, and said no, which was really confusing.
p> Until one day, the two went to the river to play in the water, originally Zhao Kuang's water quality was not worse than Li Long, but now he feels far worse. And what surprised him even more was that every time Li Long raised his hand and moved his feet, half of the river was shaken, and if he turned a somersault or pierced a fierce son, the river water suddenly rolled and rolled, and the waves were three feet high. Every time he swam to a place and rolled a few times, the place immediately became a deep pool......
p> Zhao Kuang quietly told Mr. SΓΉ about these situations. Mr. was also very suspicious and asked Zhao Kuang to pay attention to observe him and see what other changes he had in physiology.
p> One night, while Li Long was asleep, he secretly lifted his shirt to take a look, and couldn't help but be startled, it turned out that under Li Long's armpits, pieces of scale armor had grown. The gentleman said: "I'm afraid that what he swallowed is a dragon egg, and I'm afraid it will become a sperm in the future!" If we become dragon spirits, then we will suffer! Zhao Kuang was also anxious and asked Mr. what to do. The gentleman said, "The only way to deal with it is to report to the government." β
p> The government sent officials to arrest him overnight after hearing the news, but who knew that Li Long had long since disappeared.
p> Since then, Zhao Kuang has no intention of studying, but he is afraid that after Li Long becomes a master, he will be in danger of hΓ i township, and he thinks that he will subdue Li Long in the future, and only he will learn Taoism. So he said goodbye to Mr. and went to Longhu Mountain to learn the Tao. Zhao Kuang carried the burden of an umbrella on his back and ran to Longhu Mountain day and night. On the way, he suddenly ran into Li Long, who asked Zhao Kuang where he was going.
p> Zhao Kuang said: "Go and learn the Tao." β
p> Li Long asked, "Why do you want to learn the Tao?" β
p> Zhao Kuang was asked, and it was not easy to answer. Li Long sneered and said, "Why hide it from me, you want to learn the Tao to subdue me." β
p> Zhao Kuang said: "You already know, so why ask me? β
p> Li Long said: "If you don't look at the friendship between classmates for many years, I will kill you today." Okay, you learn your Dao Fa, I'll do my cultivation, and I'll see you in a few years. β
p > said that, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
p > Zhao Kuang came to Longhu Mountain and met Zhang Tianshi. Zhang Tianshi asked about his intentions, so he said to him, "Your intentions are very good, but learning the Tao is very difficult. I'm afraid you won't be able to endure this kind of suffering. β
p> Zhao Kuang said: "In order for the township to be free from disasters in the future, no matter how hard it is, I can bear it." β
p> Zhang Tianshi said: "Okay, you will accompany your senior brother to burn incense and meditate and refine qi sooner or later. On a sunny day, I went up the mountain to chop wood, and on a rainy day, I pushed and stepped on the temple. When the kung fu arrives, I'll teach you the Tao. β
p> Zhao Kuang has been practicing and learning the Tao on the mountain with peace of mind since then, and he wants to practice his kung fu well, so that he can ask Zhang Tianshi to teach the Tao as soon as possible.
p> life passed so fast, Zhao Kuang studied for three years, but Zhang Tianshi didn't even ask him once, let alone preach any Taoism. There were a few times when I couldn't bear it anymore, so I went to ask the Celestial Master, "When will you teach me the Dao Fa?" The Celestial Master just smiled and said, "It's early." Zhao Kuang had no choice but to endure it patiently.
p > for another three years, in these three years, although the heavenly master passed on some of his Taoism, but these Taoism methods are very common, and some folk Taoist monks will go barefoot on the knife mountain and go to the sea of fire...... And it's slow. A set of Taoism always takes a year and a half to learn. Zhao Kuang thought to himself, how long will it take to learn this before he can learn the spell to subdue Li Long? Let's go down to another famous mountain to learn. So he said goodbye to the Heavenly Master. The Heavenly Master didn't keep him, so he went down the mountain and left.
p > Zhao Kuang was sullen all the way, but it was a shame to think that he had wasted his good youth, and now he gave up halfway. Zhao Kuang's heart moved, thinking about his determination to learn the Tao, it is better to go back to the mountain and continue to learn, so he returned to Longhu Mountain. The Celestial Master did not blame him, but said, "When you come back, you will stay." β
p > Zhao Kuang endured for a few more years, although the Dao Fa has made progress, but the progress is not great, his heart is uneasy again, and he has the idea of going down the mountain again, but this time he didn't dare to say it to the Heavenly Master. One day, the Heavenly Master told him to go down the mountain to buy incense and candles, and when he passed through a mountain col, he saw an old man with a white beard sitting on the embankment of a large mountain pond, scooping water one by one with a small lamp. Zhao Kuang felt strange again and asked him what he was doing here?
The old man > p: "I have a little grandson who wants fish to eat, and I scoop up the dry basket to catch a fish for him to eat." β
p> Zhao Kuang said: "When will you be able to scoop dry like this?" β
p> old man said: "As long as the kung fu is long, what about the lamp scooping dry?" β
p> Zhao Kuang's heart moved, and he bought incense candles and went back.
p > Heavenly Master said: "There is no firewood to burn under the stove, you go and cut down the Guanyin tree in the back mountain to use as firewood."
p> Zhao Kuang asked: "Didn't you always say that this Guanyin tree will grow up in the future and be left for the world to carve Guanyin Bodhisattva?" The Heavenly Master said: "The original plan was like this, but he couldn't withstand the tempering of the wind, frost, rain and snow in the deep mountains, and his heart was not real, and it seemed that he couldn't make it, so he had to use it as firewood." β
p> Zhao Kuang listened to the words of the Heavenly Master, silently picked up the axe, cut it one by one, and thought to himself while chopping: "I am learning the Tao here, just like this Guanyin tree, it must withstand the tempering of the deep mountain years and the wind, frost, rain and snow, in order to become a useful material in the world.
p>Actually, what happened to Zhao Kuang when he went down the mountain was deliberately ignited by the Heavenly Master, and now he saw that Zhao Kuang's will to learn the Tao had been firm, so he began to teach the Tao sincerely. Since then, Zhao Kuang's Taoism has been getting better and better year by year, and it has been getting higher and higher year by year. I didn't have the idea of going down the mountain, and I didn't feel that the days on the mountain were long, and I couldn't remember how many years I had been studying in the mountain.
p> One year, when the incense was particularly prosperous on the mountain, the men and women who came to burn the incense and worship prayed in unison, asking the heavenly master to perform the heavenly court, bless the world, and calm the flood on the earth. It turned out that Jiangxi was constantly bursting with water for three consecutive years, collapsing hills, flooding and flooding, washing away many pastoral houses, causing people to be displaced and homeless.
p > Heavenly Master called Zhao Kuang to the bed and said, "Your classmate Li Long has become an evil dragon spirit and is harming the people, you should go down the mountain to subdue him." "Zhao Kuang received the decree of the Heavenly Master, carried the seven-star sword, and went down the mountain to find the evil dragon fighting method.
P > said that Li Long, since he fought with Zhao Kuang, hid in the deep mountains and old pools, devoted himself to cultivation, and had transformed into a real evil dragon, and also gave birth to nine little evil dragons. They drilled holes everywhere and sent water to the ground, and by the time Zhao Kuang came down the mountain, they had drilled ninety-nine rivers. The water of the ninety-nine rivers all flowed to Songhua Lake, and they tossed and turned waves in the lake, doing evil at will, trying to stir up a sea here.
p > Zhao Kuang applied the Dao method, and the two sides launched a life-and-death battle that lasted for three days and three nights. Zhao Kuang used the thunder in his palm to knock the nine little evil dragons unconscious in the middle of the lake, and was captured by the invited heavenly soldiers and generals one by one. The old evil dragon couldn't support it and wanted to escape, he went to heaven and was caught by Tianluoluo, he drilled into the ground and was caught by the ground net, forcing him to be cornered, so he had to turn into an old man and come to the mouth of Songhua Lake.
p > he thought to himself: "As long as you pass this pass, you will enter the Yangtze River, and with the help of the waves of the Yangtze River, you will enter the East Ocean Sea, what can you do with me?" Hukou is a lively little polder town, and he was relieved that he was finally mixed out of the polder. After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, he was really hungry and tired, and there happened to be a small snack powder on the side of the road, white and fine like silver threads, hot and fragrant, so hungry that he swallowed his saliva.
>The old man who sold so-noodles greeted him with a smile on his face: "Brother, do you want to eat so-fen?" β
P> Evil Dragon nodded. The old man put down a bowl of soo noodles and handed them to the evil dragon in person, and the evil dragon took it, swallowed the suo noodles in three times and divided five by two, wiped his mouth, and turned around and left.
p > old man grabbed him and said, "Hey, you haven't given the money yet." β
P> said to the dragon: "I didn't bring any money with me today, I'll give it to you another day." β
P> old man said: "No, small business, I can't afford to pay on credit." β
p> The evil dragon's eyes glared, "No, what do you want?" β
p> old man said, "Then you vomit it for me." β
p > evil dragon was on fire, and he was about to attack, but who knew that the old man gently patted him on the back and said, "Don't be angry" The evil dragon involuntarily wowed, spit out a snowy silver chain from his throat, and was held in his hand by the old man, laughing. Only then did the evil dragon see that the old man who sold Suo Fan turned out to be Zhao Kuang. He was about to struggle, but who knew that the silver chain was firmly locked to his heart, and the slightest movement made it unbearable. There was no choice but to obediently submit to Zhao Kuang's men.
p > Zhao Kuang escorted the ten evil dragons to Longtan Mountain.
p> Lao Xianlong said to Zhao Kuang: "Won't you miss a little friendship with classmates?" Zhao Kuang remembered that when he went up the mountain to learn the Tao, he also lost the friendship of his classmates and did not kill himself, so he also felt compassion.
p> He said, "It is okay to spare you death, but you are not allowed to harm the people again." β
P> So he dug a water prison in Longtan Mountain, which was filled with a pool of weak water, and a deep well was dug at the bottom of the water prison. At the bottom of the well, pig iron was poured on the wall of the well, and the old evil dragon was driven into the iron well, and an iron cover was added, and an iron tree was cast on the iron cover.
p> He said to the dragon, "When the iron tree blossoms, you will come out." β
p> Of course, the Iron Tree will not bloom, and the old dragon will never come up with it.
p > stopped the old evil dragon, and it was his turn to send the nine little evil dragons, right next to the iron well, and cut them one by one.
P > has already cut eight pieces, and the smallest one is left, Zhao Kuang just raised the seven-star sword, and suddenly heard a sad shout from under the door: "Super life under the sword." β
p> he looked up and saw that it was Li Long's wife. She pleaded and said, "Uncle Xu, spare him, so that you can leave a trail for the Ye family, so that the Ye family's ancestral grave will have a hair to sweep the tomb!" β
p> Zhao Kuang heard her pitiful, so he said: "Okay, the death penalty is forgivable, the punishment cannot be avoided, leave a scar for him to remember the pain." So he waved the seven-star sword, cut off a tail, and warned him: "Except for sweeping the tomb once a year, you are not allowed to come to Longtan Mountain again." β
p > so far, whenever Qingming time, Longtan Mountain will always be turbulent, it is really the legendary little dragon to sweep the tomb. R1058
