A real dragon?

I asked where the news came from, and he replied, saying that he had obtained from his uncle Xiao Yingzhong, and that the real dragon incident that came out at the end of last year caused many famous mountain temples and Jianghu sects to go to Dongting to investigate, but the search was hopeless for several months, and most of them returned to the station, with money or not, and went home for the New Year, but there was only one person who sat in the pavilion of Ciyuan Pavilion and did not leave.

This person pretended to be a tour of Fanglangzhong, and spent the whole day calculating, and then wandered around Yueyang, Miluo, Xiangyin, Wangcheng, Yiyang, Yuanjiang, Hanshou, Changde, Jinshi, Anxiang and Nanxian counties, trying to find a trace. This person was a very patient cultivator, and the emperor did not live up to his heart, and finally on the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he spent the night alone by the river at the mouth of Dongting Lake, eating crispy instant noodles, and when he was alone and sad, he saw a glimmer of golden light appear in the sky.

He looked up and dimly saw a long-bearded, four-legged, fishy-smelling, scaly-covered snake body leaping out of a nearby village, sometimes dangling in the air, sometimes sticking to the ground, and throwing itself into the river. This person's ability is limited, he only dares to look at it from a distance, and when the thing drills the river and swims back into the lake, he feels a closer look, and looks at the traces and breath, it seems that it is not an ordinary monster, but a real dragon.

After some thought, he carried the fortune-telling banner that roamed the rivers and lakes and walked back, picked up a few rough scales in the grass, like a baby's palm, and visited the village, heard the cry of crying and grabbing the earth, approached and inquired, only to learn that several families had lost pigs and cows, but fortunately no one was injured.

This person relied on his own costume as a wandering Taoist to appease these panicked villagers, and then inquired about the news, and according to the villagers' half-word descriptions, he felt more and more that what he saw just now should be the real dragon.

He told the villagers that this was a water-eating ghost by the river who had become a spirit, and he was afraid that he would bring disaster to the village, so he opened the altar that night to help the villagers get rid of bad luck and prosper the family. After calming the panicked villagers, the Taoist of the Ciyuan Pavilion sent a message back to the main pavilion, asking the elders of the sitting family to come out and prepare to find the true dragon's lair in this lake area.

However, he did things carefully, but he never expected that there would be a thief in the family, but somehow the news was spread, and a certain range of insiders knew about it, and he was going to East Dongting Lake at this time, preparing to ask for a jackpot in the New Year.

Miscellaneous Xiaodao told me that he was going to go with his uncle and asked me if I wanted to come.

I said it's natural, so why bother? He smiled on the other end of the phone and said Okay, I'll take a flight to Changsha now, how do you come over? I said I'm going to take the train, it should be slower. After the two agreed, they made an appointment at the time and place of the meeting, and then met to discuss in detail.

After answering the phone call, I started to pack my bags and say goodbye to my parents. My mother was worried, and my mother saw that I didn't stay long before I was leaving, and she couldn't help but wipe up her tears, which made me sad for a while. But she was only temporary, didn't say much, wiped away her tears, and then helped me pack my bags.

Before getting on the bus, my mother was carrying two hangs of bacon and a big bag of sauerkraut, and asked me if I wanted to bring it. I smiled bitterly and said that I was going to Dongting Lake, and I didn't go back to Dongguan, so where would I need this.

My mother was upset and wiped her tears in her eyes. Ah Dong took it with a smile and said "Son-of-a-law, give it to me, when the time comes, I will go to the south and bring it directly to Ah Zuo." This trip parting, quite sad, needless to say, I called all the hometown friends who didn't have time to say goodbye in person, Yang Yu and Ma Haibo were noisy, saying that they were ready to wait for you to leave when you set off the wine, and this time it was a soup.

I took Adong's car to Huaihua, then transferred to a train, and finally arrived at Yueyang, which is located in the east of Dongting Lake, in the early morning of the next day.

Dongting Lake was called Yunmeng, Jiujiang and Chonghu in ancient times, it is the second largest freshwater lake in China, the four rivers of Naxiang, Zi, Yuan and Li in the south merge in, and the north is injected into the Yangtze River by the Yueyang Chenglingji in the east, known as "Eight Hundred Miles Dongting", the scenery is beautiful, the vast and circuitous, the mountains are abrupt, there are lakes outside the lake, there are mountains in the lake, the vast and mighty are unspeakable.

Ancient cloud Mengze, until now there are still rumors of "fairy cave mansion", there are many folk rumors, common to hear is the story of the dragon girl and the water monkey in Dongting, these materials are many old people in the local countryside for more than ancient years, there are a lot of them in the stomach, it is not unusual, and we took the train north to Jinling that day, and heard three stories, there was a flood in 98 years, and the rumor of a dragon corpse rushed out.

The lake wetland is the green lung of the city and the crowded area, but after years of reclamation of the lake, Dongting Lake is shrinking, which is quite regrettable.

I caught the evening bus, when I got off the train, it was just more than five o'clock in the morning, with the flow of people out of the station, I saw that the nearby breakfast shop had been opened, so I casually found a restaurant, ordered a bowl of Hunan spicy pork rib powder, and ordered a dish of salt and pepper steamed dumplings, when the bowl of noodles was served, the fiery red oil soup saw people's appetite, spicy and fragrant, and couldn't help but feast.

After eating, the whole body is full of heat, and the mouth can breathe fire, which will also remove a lot of the deep cold of February.

I had already contacted by phone when I came, and Zhilu Dao and Uncle Xiao Yingwu had already arrived in advance, so after filling their stomachs, they were ready to go to the place where they settled to find them. However, the sky was bright, there were not many taxis on the road, most of them were taken away by the previous people, and I was not in a hurry, so I walked slowly in the general direction with my luggage, which can be regarded as measuring this strange city with my feet.

This is a very beautiful city, there are a lot of gardenia trees on the roadside, high-rise buildings, and many old-style buildings, full of humanistic atmosphere, in such a waking morning, watching those hard sanitation workers on the street doing cleaning work, I feel that there is a different beauty.

After walking for almost an hour, the sky finally dawned, and the pedestrians and traffic on the road began to increase, and listening to the strange and fast-paced dialects around me, I felt that a new day had begun.

I walked to a city square, and the phone in my pocket rang and buzzed, but it was the hairy trail who called and asked me where I was. After I stopped a passer-by and asked clearly, I told him the road signs, and I was not familiar with the miscellaneous trail, so I turned around and asked my uncle, and then said that it was too far, and asked me to take a taxi directly to him.

I flagged down a taxi and followed the address of the miscellaneous trail, but it was a relatively remote old town, and the stop was not a high-end hotel, but a small hotel similar to a guest house.

When I got out of the car, I was looking around, and a black shadow passed overhead, but it was the tiger cat who flew over and shouted, "Little poison, you are slow." What about my daughter-in-law, what about my daughter-in-law? ”

At this time, the miscellaneous hair Xiaodao also came over from the side, patted me on the shoulder, and there was a person behind him, but it was Xiao Yingwu, an uncle I hadn't seen for a long time. Uncle was very happy to see me, came over to help me carry my luggage, and said Lu Zuo, wait for you for a while, come, put things away first, and then we will go to breakfast.

I saw that Uncle reached over to take the luggage, his left hand was flexible, and I couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Ah, Uncle, your hand is ......."

Hearing my words, my uncle reached out his left hand in front of me, clenched his fist, made a loud noise, pulled me and said, "This prosthetic leg is really good, after transplantation and adaptation training, it is almost no different from the real hand." I heard Xiao Ming say that you still have a relationship with you, and you are looking for the quota that your uncle and ancestor in the General Bureau wanted, and Uncle really has to thank you......"

I waved my hand and said Uncle, what kind of door do you say, I will mention it in passing, it is the senior brother who really contributes, and it is Lao Xiao's face that looks at it, and it has nothing to do with me.

We were polite in front of the door, but the miscellaneous trail couldn't bear it anymore and pulled us upstairs.

Putting down my luggage in the hotel room, I looked at this humble environment, and asked Zamao Xiaodao suspiciously, saying Lao Xiao, didn't you just pay the year-end dividend, wouldn't you live in such a bad place? Miscellaneous Xiaodao didn't speak, but the uncle opened his mouth, saying that we came this time, it was unofficial, and it was good to live in a big hotel, but it was easy to meet acquaintances, everyone came here for a purpose, you have me, and it will definitely be another dragon fight at that time, it is better to be low-key, and it will not become the target of public criticism, don't you say?

I raised my thumb and said that my uncle is thoughtful about things, this ambergris is even Da Nei's eyes, if we really let us get our hands this time, as we all know, maybe even Dongting Lake can't get out.

After such a discussion, I asked what we should do next, and the miscellaneous Xiaodao said that we can't do anything, it is said that the Taoist of the Ciyuan Pavilion has some clues about the real dragon, and it is estimated that we will have to wait for their brigade to arrive, and we will follow behind, maybe we will have to take advantage of the chaos to be able to touch some sweetness to eat.

Zamao Xiaodao thought for a while, and said that this afternoon near Yueyang Tower, I heard that there was a talk, about the conflict between Laoshan Mountain and Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Dao, we might as well go and take a look.

I nodded and said okay, it's okay to see the excitement.

After putting things away, we went downstairs for breakfast, and we were so spicy that we were spicy by the red soup, and we went to the lake area, rented a boat, and prepared to familiarize ourselves with the water in this lake.

Before I came to Dongting Lake, I heard that the 800 miles of Dongting, I only thought it was exaggerated, but this lakeside looked, only to feel that it was really true, looking far away, connecting the distant mountains, swallowing the Yangtze River, the vast soup soup, endless, there were the magnificent waves of the sea, listening to the fisherman who drove the boat said that the lake in the early years was wider, northern Hubei and southern Hunan, the two provinces were separated by this lake, it was really wide.

After shopping for a while, he took out three human skin masks, saying that they were given by the senior brother, and after changing the faces of the three of us, he went to Yueyang Tower.
