The old man said, "This has always been my dream, my heart's desire. In my heart, China, like Egypt, is a mysterious and fascinating country. I'm going to explore, I'm going to decipher, I'm going to follow her mysterious footprints. Have you ever wondered what a charming being she is? ”

The old man's words are a little inexplicable to several of us, but thinking about it, what he said is very reasonable. I looked at each other with the old ghost and Qian Cheng, and this is no longer as simple as tourism. It can be said that this has risen to the category of philosophy.

When the old man saw that we did not speak, he hurriedly said to us again: "I know that none of you have thought about this problem, and it is possible that you will not go back to think about such a profound question until you reach my age." Now that you're young, it's normal not to think about these things. ”

&nb@wan@Shu@ロ巴,≌ans¢⊙msp;When the old ghost saw the senior in front of him say his own words, he was a little disgusted and worried, and said: "Damn, is this old man crazy?" Or Alzheimer's? How do you talk so much? ”

When I heard the old ghost say this, I quickly interrupted her and said, "Don't talk nonsense, even Alzheimer's is not a symptom." Besides, the thinking of this wise man is not the thinking of ordinary people, and it is not something that you and I can figure out. ”

When the old ghost heard me say this, he quickly nodded.

When the old man saw us bowing his head and whispering, he interrupted us loudly and said, "Have you listened to me?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The old ghost and I said in unison.

"Do you know what attracts me most about China?" The old man suddenly asked me and the old ghost.

"I don't know!" The old ghost and I shook our heads at the same time and said, "Just say it, what is it?" ”

"It's the legend of the dragon!" The old man said with a bright face.

"The legend of the dragon?" The old ghost and I were a little disappointed.

As Chinese, we still understand the story of the dragon, which is the totemic belief of the Chinese nation. About dragons, I guess everyone knows a little bit about it. Even if it's not exhaustive. At least you'll know a little bit about it.

Qian Cheng, who was on the side, was also extremely curious about what the old man said, so he also walked over with Lisa and Duoduo, and wanted to hear what the old man wanted to say.

As soon as she heard about the "dragon", Lisa said excitedly, "I know this, I'll tell you!" ”

Before everyone could agree, Lisa volunteered, "Dragon." Isn't it a legendary supernatural animal? In traditional Chinese culture, it has shrimp eyes, antlers, cow's mouth, dog nose, cat's whiskers, lion's mane, snake tail, fish scales, eagle claws, and the image of nine animals combined into one. As a totem believed in by the Chinese nation, the dragon embodies beautiful qualities and magical legends. ”

At this time, the old ghost wanted to dismantle Lisa's platform, so he said that he deliberately asked in a difficult way: "What is the legend?" ”

Lisa looked at the old ghost's expression and tone, and knew that the old ghost was finding fault with herself, so she said confidently: "I'll tell you the legend of this dragon today, you have to say it, you are convinced!" ”

The old ghost watched Lisa fall into his trap. Joyful and curious, he said, "Oh? You're trying to convince me! ”

"And what if I win?" Lisa said.

"Whatever you want!" The old ghost saw that Lisa was energetic, and he did not show weakness, and said, "Then what if you lose?" What do you do if you lose? ”

"It's up to you!" Lisa said.

"That's what you said! All of you testify to me, she said it herself! The old ghost deliberately said, "If you lose, you have to marry me!" ”

"You ......" Lisa blushed slightly, but immediately continued, "No, change another!" ”

"Cut, don't dare to bet, forget it!" The old ghost deliberately provoked her.

Lisa was so provoked by the old ghost. He said, "Bet on it, you and I will be afraid of you?" That being the case. Then if I win, you will have to let me be the master in the future. ”

"A gentleman's word......," said the old ghost.

"Whip the horse!" Lisa replied.

Seeing that the two of them were on the bar, I wanted to persuade them. However, Qian Cheng and Duoduo both winked at me and motioned for me to listen. So, I shut up too. Quietly listen to how they fight?

Lisa said: "We see from many stories and legends that the dragon is valiant and warlike, and it is not afraid of violence; The dragon is intelligent and intelligent, and it can even foresee the future; The dragon's skills are high, it can not only be big, but also small. It is often changeable and rainy. It can also thunder and lightning, open rivers and move mountains, and its magic power is boundless!

The dragon was rich, and the dragon palace became a concentration of treasures; The dragon is upright and considerate of the people, and in order to relieve the suffering of the drought in the world, it even does not hesitate to offend the heavens and give rain to the people.

In the body of the dragon, the good wishes of the people are concentrated. Historically, the world's outstanding figures have often been referred to as 'dragons among men'. The famous Zhuge Liang is known as 'Mr. Wolong', which is also a familiar example. ”

The old ghost listened to Lisa's words for a long time, so he sarcastically said, "This is the legend of the dragon?" ”

"What's the hurry? I haven't gotten down to business yet! Lisa gave him a blank look.

"Please, our time is precious! Please hurry up, or quickly admit defeat and pull down! The old ghost deliberately said angrily to Lisa.

"Dreaming!" Lisa immediately refused, and then she began to talk about the legend of the dragon: "Dragons are not unique to China, and many ethnic groups have myths and legends about dragons. But there is no country like China that is proud of and respectful of dragons, and everything has something to do with dragons.

You've seen it before, right? Let me tell you a story first:

In the middle, the dragon kings are: Ao Guang of the East China Sea, Ao Qin of the South China Sea, Ao Yan of the West Sea, and Ao Shun of the North Sea, known as the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. The duty of the dragon king is to spread the clouds and rain, eliminate the heat and troubles for people, and the dragon king to control the water has become a common belief among the people.

Ao Guang in the East China Sea, Ao Qin in the South China Sea, Ao Yan in the West Sea, and Ao Shun in the North Sea. The blue-faced and red-haired beard is east, the white-haired beard is western, the orange-yellow beard is southern, and the black-haired beard is northern.

Beside Guanyin Bodhisattva, there is a pair of boys and girls, the male is called 'Shancai' and the female is called 'Dragon Girl'.

The Dragon Lady was originally the youngest daughter of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, born with clear eyebrows, smart and clever, and won the favor of the Dragon King.

One day, she heard that the world was playing with fish lanterns, which was very lively, so she clamored to watch it. The dragon king shook his head and said, "It's barren and crowded, but it's not the place where your dragon princess goes!" ’

So, the dragon girl was coquettish and pretending to cry, and the dragon king always didn't follow. The dragon girl pursed her little mouth: she thought to herself: If you don't let me go, I want to go! finally got to the third watch, then quietly slipped out of the crystal palace, turned into a very good-looking fisherman's girl, stepped on the moonlight of Menglong, and came to the place where the fish lantern was noisy.

It's a small fishing town with a lot of fish lights on the streets! There are yellow croaker lamps, horn lamps, octopus lamps, cuttlefish lamps, shark lamps, as well as lobster lamps, sea crab lamps, scallop lamps, conch lamps, coral lamps......

The dragon girl looked east and west, and the more she looked, the happier she became, and sometimes she even squeezed into the crowd unwillingly. After a while, we came to the crossroads, and it was very lively! Fish lamps stack fish lamps, lamp mountain to lamp mountain, colorful, bright. The dragon girl stood in front of a mountain of lights, fascinated by it, and was always distracted.

Who knows, at this time, half a cup of cold tea was poured from the attic, and it was poured on the head of the dragon girl impartially. The dragon girl was taken aback and hurriedly shouted.

It turns out that the dragon girl who has become a girl can't touch half a drop of water! As soon as she touches the water, she can no longer keep her appearance as a girl. The dragon girl was very anxious, afraid that she would appear in the form of a dragon on the street and attract wind and rain. In that case, it will collapse the lantern festival. So, she squeezed out of the crowd regardless of the situation and ran to the beach with all her might. As soon as she ran to the beach, she suddenly "swooped", and the dragon girl turned into a very big fish, lying on the beach and unable to move.

It just so happened that two fishermen, one thin and one fat, came to the beach. Seeing this bright big fish, he was stunned for a moment, how excited he was.

'What kind of fish is this!' How can it rest on the beach? The fat boy was timid, and stood far away and said, "I have never seen this kind of fish, and I am afraid that it will be unlucky, so go quickly!" ’

But the thin boy was so bold that he refused to leave, and as he played with the fish, he said, 'Whatever kind of fish it is, carry it out and sell it on the street, and it will sell it for a good price!' ’

The two muttered for a while, then carried the fish and went out to the street to sell it.

That night, Guanyin Bodhisattva was meditating in a purple bamboo forest. Seeing what had just happened clearly, he was moved by compassion and said to the rich boy standing behind him, 'Go to the fishing town, buy a big fish, and release it into the sea.' ’

The head of the good fortune inspector said: 'Bodhisattva, how can a disciple have two taels of silver to buy fish?'

Guanyin smiled and said, 'Just grab a handful from the censer.' ’

So Shancai nodded yes, hurriedly went to the Guanyin Courtyard to grab a handful of incense ashes, stepped on a lotus flower, and flew straight to the fishing town.

At this time, the two boys had carried the fish to the street, and they were suddenly surrounded by people watching the fish lanterns. Surprised and admired people asked for the price, and Isoji chattered and talked about the village, but no one dared to buy such a big fish rashly.

An old man with a white beard said, 'Boy, this fish is too big, can you cut it up and sell it for nothing?' ’

The fat boy thought about it and felt that the old man was right, so he borrowed a meat axe from someone and raised it to cut the fish.

Suddenly!

A little kid called out and said, 'Look? The big fish was in tears. ’

The fat boy stopped his axe and saw that the big fish was really shedding two strings of crystal tears, and he was so frightened that he threw away the meat axe and drilled out of the crowd. The thin boy was afraid that he would be in the soup sooner, so he hurriedly picked up the meat axe to behead, but was stopped by a little novice who came out of breath: "Don't chop! Don't slash! I bought this fish. ’

When everyone saw it, they were amazed: 'How did the little novice buy the fish?' The old man stopped, cocked his goatee, and said, 'The monk buys fish, I'm afraid it's going to be meaty, right?' ’

Seeing that everyone was sneering coldly, the little novice blushed and quickly said, 'I bought this fish to release it!' So saying, he took out a handful of broken silver, handed it to the thin boy, and asked them to carry the fish to the seashore. (To be continued......)
