Chapter 135: Fire Demon

Then Han Weixue slowly walked in the direction of the stage, Shen Hongyu happened to walk to this side of the stage with a torch, she took a torch and blew a breath in this direction of Han Weixue, and spewed fire directly from the torch, and the audience at the scene exclaimed, but when she saw Han Weixue, her face turned into a dragon's head, Han Weixue looked at it carefully, because this is exactly the same as the appearance of the scar man, it seems that this person is his daughter is not wrong.

Shen Hongyulong looked at Han Weixue with a little surprise on her face, she shook her head, changed back to her original appearance, and then smiled at Han Weixue, without the slightest fear, she began to wave the torch in her hand and continued her performance.

Han Weixue watched Shen Hongyu continue her performance, so she walked through the crowd and walked to Sean's side, there happened to be a seat next to Sean, Han Weixue sat down, Sean happened to be drinking, and saw Han Weixue actually come.

"Hey, Han Weixue, why are you here? What are you doing here, I didn't expect to see you here. Sean was surprised to see Han Weixue here.

"Do you come here often?" asked Han Weixue loudly, because the environment of the bar was a bit noisy.

"What? I don't come often, well, occasionally. Sean stared at Shen Hongyu on the stage and took a sip of wine.

Han Weixue looked at Sean and didn't speak, Sean glanced at Han Weixue with a look of disbelief and said, "Okay, okay, come often, brother, you watch the show, she's super punctual." ”

Shen Hongyu on the stage was performing, she put the torch into her mouth, extinguished the fire of the torch, and attracted a lot of applause.

"I have a case in my hand that has something to do with her dad, and she's one. Han Weixue said to Sean on the side.

Sean hurriedly said: "Fire Demon, that is, the legendary dragon." ”

After Sean finished speaking, he looked around and continued, "Do you think it's okay for the two of us to talk about this here?"

Han Weixue also followed Sean's example, looked at the people around her and said, "It's not good." ”

"You're still more self-aware. Sean nodded and took a sip of his wine.

The woman on stage was still performing, and this time she held five torches in each hand at once.

"What is a fire demon?" Han Yuxue still couldn't help it, and suddenly said to Sean.

"It's all said that I'm not going to discuss this here. Sean said impatiently.

Han Yuxue didn't speak, just looked at Sean with sincere eyes, and Sean was helpless.

"Okay. He sighed.

Sean had no choice but to accompany Han Yuxue to come out and say, because there were too many people next to him, this kind of thing was heard, and if he knew it, it would have a bad effect, and if he didn't know, he thought it was a neurosis.

"Actually, I don't know much, they are very limited, they are an ancient creature, you know. As far as I know, they belong to the dragon bloodline. Sean introduced Han Weixue.

"I thought dragons only existed in mythology. Han Yuxue smiled.

"Dragons are fictional, but fire demons are real. In ancient myths and legends, there are also many of them, especially in Western mythology, about this fire-breathing dragon, referring to them. In ancient Greek mythology, dragons often appeared as fierce monsters and keepers of treasures. Homer's epic poem, the Iliad, mentions Agamemnon's attire by saying that his sword belt has a blue dragon pattern and that his breastplate is adorned with a three-headed dragon. Among the twelve exploits of Hercules, the eleventh "Stealing the Golden Apple" is also guarded by a dragon. According to the second volume of the Pseudo-Apollodorus's Library, the golden apple is "guarded by an immortal dragon." The dragon was descended from Typhon and Achedna, with a hundred heads and a hundred different sounds coming out of a hundred mouths. ”。 In the Tales of Hycinus, the dragon Radon, who guards the golden apple, is mentioned as one of the children of Typhon and Achedna. It also has a brother, a dragon who guards the Golden Fleece. In ancient Greek, "dragon" and "giant sea serpent" are the same word, and it can be seen that the image of the dragon in ancient Greek culture is similar to the image of the snake, mainly manifested as great strength and the ability to live forever, which is related to the image of Diamat in Babylonian mythology. Sean swallowed and continued.

"Glass window painting of St. George slaying the dragon, Hans Acker, 1440, Helsinki Cathedral Christian saint biography, a famous story related to the dragon is St. George and the Dragon". The story was first transmitted orally in the 8th century and began to be part of the biography of St. George after the 9th century. In the 10th and 11th centuries, pictorial images began to appear in relation to it. According to the biography of the saint, "The Golden Legend", the story takes place in the city of Silene, Libya. The dragon lives in a lake next to the city and can spew poisonous gas. In order to avoid poisonous gas, people had to sacrifice sheep or living people. When it was the king's daughter's turn to make the sacrifice, St. George, who was passing by, saw the princess sitting by the lake waiting to be sacrificed, and decided to slay the dragon. He succeeded in stabbing the poisonous dragon with his spear and tying the dragon into the city with the princess's sash. Seeing this, the inhabitants of the city converted to Jesus and were baptized, and St. George then had the dragon's head cut off. ”

So the dragon in later Western culture was the result of many influences. Greek, Babylonian mythology and Christianity, Norse mythology, Celtic culture and English Saxon legends have created a rich variety of dragon images in European culture. Influenced by Greek mythology, many legends say that dragons are the keepers of treasures and treasures. At the same time, the dragon has also become a symbol of greed. Under the influence of Christian legends, the dragon became a symbol of evil. ”

The dragon in Beowulf is the prototype of the dragon that later appeared in European culture[18]: hoarding and guarding treasures, curious, vindictive, fire-breathing, and containing lethal venom in his teeth. The dragon in Beowulf is irrational, and its behavior is governed by its own desires. The poem focuses on its emphasis on treasure. It could not speak, could not understand human language, and even looked shocked and frightened when it met Beowulf. Externally, the dragon is slender (50 feet) with sharp teeth and is capable of flight. So the legend that the dragon will breathe fire is because people saw the fire demon, and the fire demon looked like a dragon, so the crowd regarded the fire demon as a dragon, and then slowly passed it down.

"Do you understand?" said Sean, who was a little out of breath.

"Wow~ You know so much. Then are they really going to breathe fire?" Han Yuxue looked at Sean curiously.

Sean rolled his eyes, he really played the piano to the cow, and he continued: "Theoretically, I think they should, as far as I know, wait, to be clear in advance, I'm not a biologist, and I don't know if it's right." It's a kind of vomit, have you ever heard of a low-carb, high-fat diet? It causes the body to have an excess of ketones and burn their own fat, so that they can evaporate the fat from their body, which is very explosive and smelly, except for the young lady who dances on stage, of course. ”

"How did they light it?" Han Weixue continued to ask as if she were a student.
