Chapter 67: The Theory of Killing the Dragon
When I followed Zhao Haipeng back to the small exhibition hall from the Shan Shan Terrace on the second floor, there were already a lot fewer people here.
At this moment, the people who were still admiring the antiques had gone, and only my buddy and friends were left. Occasionally, some armed security guards came to take a look, but they only hurried to stay.
At this time when it should have been a little boring, the treasurer of Shopkeeper Tong once again exerted his rare spirit of "dedication", and explained to us the subtlety and magic of the things in these counters one by one in front of those display cases.
Pointing to a fist-sized, black block, Shopkeeper Tong smiled and said: "Everyone! If the old decay is not mistaken! This thing is not gold! It is a special ambergris, which is rumored to be the gall of the inland river dragon!"
"Oh, this is more ......interesting," shopkeeper Tong pointed to an inconspicuous wooden pole and said, "This ...... This is the fishing rod of the 'Douhaimu'! I heard that this thing is used to catch dragons!"
Listening to Shopkeeper Tong's words, Zhao Haihaihe was not very happy, she opened her mouth and said: "Shopkeeper Tong is talking nonsense, Douhaimu and Jiaolong are just legends, there will be there!"
"But this is indeed it!" Shopkeeper Tong pointed to the thumb-thick "branch" and said, "Look at this, there are a total of ninety-nine eighty-one black-eyed wood vortexes, what is it if it's not Douhaimu?"
The argument between the shopkeeper Tong and Zhao Shuihe was in a fog when I listened directly.
So, I asked the shopkeeper Tong, "Old shopkeeper, what is a Douhaimu?
With my questioning, Zhao Shuihe once again took the lead: "Douhaimu is a legend of the southern coast, a kind of wood born on the seaside......"
Shui Lotus then told me that the tree was old and strange, and that each tree only grew one leaf, and when the first leaf fell off, the second leaf would grow.
But the problem is that the leaves of the Doukaimu are very tough, and it is said that it cannot be broken even if it is blown by the wind and rain, so it is very difficult to make it fall off the leaves.
Because of this, it is rare for Douhaimu to drop a leaf, and there is only one thing that can really make it fall off the leaves, and that is lightning strike.
"Lightning strike?" I was stunned.
At this time, the shopkeeper Tong said: "Yes! Lightning strikes! Every time Douhaimu is struck by a lightning strike on the sea, the leaves will fall off once, and then it will grow for a minute, until the ninety-ninety-eighty-first time, this kind of tree will blossom and bear fruit under the action of thunder, grow and reproduce." ”
After saying this, the shopkeeper Tong stretched out his hand and pointed to the eye-like texture on the stick and said: "A small tree, every time it passes a thunderstorm, it will leave an eye-like scar...... It can be used to fish for dragons!"
"Dragon fishing?" I was still stunned, and then looked at the exhibits of the Ruimujun family.
According to legend, it is the unsinkable gold of the inland river gold gentian, the special material of Douhai wood, and the white dragon tooth that the Ruimujun family once lent me to ward off evil spirits......
Once all of this is connected, I can only think of one thing, that is, the ancestor of this Chen Qiqiao, that is, the first generation of Ruimujun...... Probably fell into a dragon?
When this shocking thought popped into my head, I was startled at myself.
Because...... It's ridiculous and incomprehensible.
However, just as I was thinking about the glass display cases, Chen Bamiao finally went and returned.
After this beautiful woman returned, she greeted everyone generously: "Let everyone wait for a long time, please come with me, we have prepared the best feast on the ship to entertain you......"
With Chen Bamiao's words, all our attention was focused.
And taking advantage of this time, the shopkeeper Tong beside me was even more curious and said: "Oh! Bamiao girl, you are here! It just so happens that I have a question for you......
While speaking, the shopkeeper Tong curiously pointed to the counter in front of us and said, "Girl, your family has Douhaimu, and there is not sinking gold, your ancestors ...... Have you ever killed a dragon?"
Listening to the shopkeeper Tong's question, Chen Bamiao smiled in surprise, and then nodded in response: "Uncle Tong is really good, my ancestor is rumored to have killed a dragon, but ......"
Speaking of which, Chen Bamiao's words changed again: "This kind of thing is a legend that is spread by people, but in our generation, no one believes it. ”
"Hey!" shopkeeper Tong waved his hand and said: "The legends may not all be fake, besides, the rivers, lakes and seas are so big, how many rare birds and beasts we humans have not discovered, and it is normal!"
Listening to the words of the shopkeeper Tong, Chen Bamiao smiled.
She didn't answer anything, but stretched out her hand and pointed to a door on our side: "Please come with me! ”
After Chen Bamiao finished speaking, she suddenly walked towards me, and then took the initiative to pull my hand up in front of the eyes of everyone.
Then, the woman walked forward without care, and said as she walked, "I'll take you!"
Chen Bamiao is the hostess, so there is really no way to refuse her words, and after Xiaomeizi's blow, my whole body is also a little numb, so in general, I didn't make any resistance.
And my "inaction" also seemed to make Chen Bamiao very satisfied, this woman has been smiling happily and brightly since she grabbed my hand, her ten fingers tightly clasped my ten fingers, until the Tianzi room, never let go.
In this way, we followed Chen Bamiao's steps, step by step.
During this journey, we have been slowly ascending, during which I have a feeling of going around the maze, and if it were not for Chen Bamiao's personal guidance, I am afraid it would be difficult for us to find that Tianzi room.
Because of this, I gradually became interested in that room.
Finally, after a gentle flight of steps with a red carpet, we finally reached the top floor of the boat, one level higher than the exhibition room.
The design of this top floor is strange, because it is unusually simple in design, except for the three-person wide corridor carpet and the occasional porthole, and at the end of this carpet there is only a solemn red wood door.
Obviously, on the top floor of this laughing fisherman, there is only one guest room and one restaurant.
And this restaurant is definitely the most luxurious and spacious place on the whole fish boat.
With the expectation of the Tianzi room, Chen Bamiao took my hand, stepped on the red carpet, and walked slowly, and when she pushed open the door of the room, all of us held our breath and looked inside......
