Text Chapter 17 Beihai Dragon Palace

Sun Xiaokong followed the two shrimp soldiers and crabs to the deep sea, and soon they came to a place where the aquarium lived, only to see that this was a tall courtyard building, with a gate gatehouse, a courtyard wall, and a large hall, which was the same as a building on the land ground. When Xiao Kong looked, the two shrimp soldiers and crab generals had already dragged the turtle prince into the courtyard. Take a closer look at this building, the first thing that catches your eye is five grand gatehouses, the overall color of the gatehouse is red, it is decorated with water waves and dragon patterns, and several big red palace lamps are hung under the eaves of the gatehouse. In the middle of the gatehouse are several vigorous and powerful big black characters: "Beihai Dragon Palace". Under the gate, there are two shrimp soldiers and crabs who will be guarded with weapons in their hands.

The courtyard wall connecting the gate is one zhang high, and the courtyard wall is a pink wall of green glazed tiles. Through the courtyard wall, you can vaguely see the large palace structure inside, and the buildings are scattered, and there are several courtyards. The courtyard is surrounded by a submarine hillside, although it is on the bottom of the deep sea, but you can still see the mountains and strange rocks, which are no different from the mountains on land. Plumes of smoke from deep-sea volcanoes are occasionally seen in the distance, and corals, algae, and other deep-sea plants can occasionally be seen on the nearby slopes. Colorful fish swim everywhere on the bottom of the sea, and crabs, shrimp and shellfish can be found everywhere. This is a colorful underwater world.

Little fantasy, this Dragon Palace is heavily guarded, and I want to explore the reality to understand the situation. Then he saw a crab soldier on patrol, and he crept after him, and beat the crab soldier in a remote corner, and brought him to a deserted hillside.

"Tell me which palace the dragon king lives in, how many troops there are to guard it, and tell me about the dragon king's situation. Don't lie, if you tell a lie, be careful that I slap you to death with a hammer," said Xiao Kong, shaking the fish-headed golden hammer in front of the crab soldier's eyes. The crab soldier was terrified, and even said, "I said" "I said." ”

So Xiaokong knew about the situation in the Dragon Palace.

It turns out that the North Sea has not been quiet in recent years, and there has been a palace coup in recent years. This old dragon king of Beihai turned out to be relatively scrupulous in his duties. Although he was not diligent in government and loved the people, he was able to distribute clouds and rain in a timely manner according to the instructions of the Heavenly Court, and for a while, the jurisdiction of Beihai was quite smooth. But this dragon king has a hobby, that is, he is more greedy, and all young and beautiful women, as long as they are favored by this guy, regardless of race and age, whether they are humans or beasts, they will not want to try to get their hands on it. This dragon king was so promiscuous and amorous that he had many wives and concubines, and his children were everywhere, and he did not recognize himself clearly. Although there is a folk proverb that "dragons and dragons and grandchildren are all over the world", there are as many as nine sons who have been approved by himself.

These nine sons are Lao Da Prisoner Niu, Lao Er 睚眦 (yá zì), Lao San mocking the wind, Fourth Zi Pu Lao, Fifth Zi 狻猊 (suāni), Sixth Zi Baxia, Seven Zi 狴犴 (bì àn), Eight Zi Negative 屃 (fù xì), Lao Jiu 螭kiss (chī ěn). In addition to these nine, it is also rumored that Pixiu, Qilin, and Tao Tao are also the illegitimate children of the Dragon King, but they have not been recognized by the Dragon King. The dragon king is old, and there are many sons, so it is natural to inevitably intrigue and secretly peep into this throne. However, these nine sons were not born to one mother, so their personalities are also different, and not every son has the heart to compete for the position. The so-called "dragon gives birth to nine sons are different," is the meaning.

Prisoner Niu, the eldest of the nine sons, he has always been intoxicated with the music of silk and bamboo orchestras, and often gets together with a group of musicians all day long, not thinking of progress, but he doesn't care much about the throne of the Dragon Palace. However, this prisoner cow has a gentle personality and a kind heart, but he also has the appearance of a deputy big brother.

The second son, Jair, was born to the dragon king and the wolf of wealth, he was ugly, tyrannical by nature, rat-bellied, and if anyone offended him, he would take revenge in his heart. However, this Jianwei is very scheming, and he usually likes to dance and play with guns, and set up troops, and he is one of the more capable of the brothers. He's a very ambitious guy.

The third son laughs at the wind, he likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, and enjoys life to the fullest, just to be happy for a while, not enterprising, but a general generation.

These four sons, Pu Lao, who was born with a good appearance, are the most like his father among the many princes of the Dragon King. However, this son is usually used to being pampered by his father, but he is timid and afraid of things, and he is timid in doing things, and he can't withstand some storms, and he is not the choice of people.

The fifth son, Foxy, was born to a lioness by the dragon king, and his appearance was human and lion-like. Although he inherited his mother's majestic appearance, he only had nothing on the surface, and he was also a timid and incompetent person. It also does not have the strength to compete for reserves.

The six sons were born to the dragon king and a female turtle, and he also looked like a turtle. This old six is born with great strength, often likes to do things that carry mountains and soil, and work hard to carry heavy loads, and his greatest wish is to be a strong god and often show off his strength in front of people. I don't have any big ambitions. is also a mediocre person who can't hold up the wall with mud.

The seventh son, the fierce one, has a majestic appearance and looks like a tiger, and is the dragon king when he went out hunting, which coincided with the tigress's estrus and was born of adultery with the tigress. This fierce man has a majestic appearance, but he likes to hear and adjudicate cases in court, and is eager to be a judge who enforces the law impartially. He also lacks too much ambition and does not have the qualifications of a human king.

The son of the eighth in the row is called Negative Tuo, although he is the eighth in line, but he is an authentic descendant, and he was born to the Dragon King to his original wife. The boy was gifted and intelligent, and was born like his father. He inherited the natural noble temperament of the dragon clan, and his aura was extraordinary. However, although this negative man is very talented, his personality is gentle and elegant, and he only likes to do some things such as writing essays and poems, and making ink in martial arts, and has no lofty ambitions.

The youngest son is a kiss, this Lao Jiu is a heartless guy, who has nothing to do all day long and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and is only interested in the word eating and drinking, and is the most uncompetitive of the nine sons of the Dragon King, and he is also an incompetent person.

Comparatively speaking, the most powerful of the nine sons of the Dragon King is the second son, Jairus. This jairway was born of the dragon king and the jackal, although it was a dragon species, it looked like a jackal, and its appearance was very ugly. The dragon king thought he was ugly, and when he was very young, he tried to strangle him to death, but fortunately, his mother's pleading and pleading finally saved his life. Although this Jianwei looks ugly, he is very capable of doing things, and the things that the Dragon King has explained are all excellently completed, and this Jianwei is extremely talented and ambitious. When he was very young, he once helped King Wen of Zhou to seize the world, and King Wen once commented on it: "Its face is like a jackal, its body is like a leopard, it has great ambitions, and it is a bamboo in its chest; This Jianwei has also been peeping at the Dragon Court throne for a long time. It's just that the dragon king thinks that this son is too narrow-minded, likes to make enemies and grudges with others, and doesn't like his tyrannical personality, so he is not interested in him.

In the heart of the dragon king, he relied more on the eldest son, the prisoner cow and the eighth son. Although the eldest son has mediocre qualifications, the royal family has always had a tradition of passing on the elders rather than the young, and although this prisoner ox has mediocre qualifications, he has a gentle personality and a kind heart, which is very beneficial to the unity of the brothers in the future.

The eight sons are the most optimistic successors of the Dragon King, this negative is orthodox, naturally noble, and also smart and studious, but there is no great ambition. However, the Dragon King thinks that this is not important, the Dragon King once said privately that as long as he finds a good and virtuous minister to complement the eight sons, he will be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Dragon Court.

The two sons sensed the dragon king's mind and thought that he had little hope of ascending to the throne, so he decided to take action to preemptively attack.

So on a dark night, Jairus suddenly sent troops to surround the Dragon Palace and forced the Dragon King to write a book of succession. In this way, Jairus finally inherited the throne justifiably. However, he imprisoned his father.

After becoming the dragon king, he got carried away and the old dragon king had been imprisoned and had no restraints, so he acted nonsense, excluded dissidents in the dragon palace, and acted perversely. For a time, Beihai was panicked and uneasy.
