Before this, Lin Feng had heard of the Yingkou falling dragon incident.

This matter was widely circulated in the Shengjing Times at that time, and there are still many people discussing this matter in later generations, including to this day.

For the matter of the falling dragon in Yingkou at that time, some people firmly believed, they felt that there was a dragon in this world, otherwise, among the twelve zodiac signs, other animals existed, and the fifth-ranked dragon did not exist?

Of course.

There are also many people who feel that the Yingkou falling dragon incident is an exaggerated report by the media, in order to attract people's attention, and there are even some conspiracy at a certain level in the troubled times at that time.

That phenomenon may have been deliberately created by the Dongyi Kingdom, and for the sake of mapping, the descendants of the dragon will fall.

Later, many scientists investigated this matter, and many experts believed that the photo of the keel in the Shengjing Times, which was widely circulated at that time, was actually not a photo of a real dragon bone, but a baleen whale skeleton. Look at the book

It's just that when the skeleton was found, people carried it to the shore, and the skeleton was misplaced, creating the illusion that the skeleton of the baleen whale resembles a dragon.

In particular, the two horns, many people believe that they should be the skeletons of baleen whales elsewhere, misplaced.

Even.

Someone deliberately inserted it in the head of the baleen whale, so that the two bones looked like the horns of a dragon.

Of course, there are very few modern clues.

Most of the statements are just speculation, and some of the old people who are alive at that time were still children, and many of them witnessed the true face of the dragon when the corpse was not decomposed.

The reporter interviewed many witnesses, and they were all convinced that they had seen the dragon.

And the photos in the Shengjing Times are just the bones left after the dragon rotted later.

Those witnesses didn't know each other, but when they described the falling dragon, they were surprisingly consistent.

So.

This matter, later, became a complete unsolved mystery.

What's even more strange is that the clues about the falling dragon in Yingkou are very limited, and later, even the dragon's bones are missing. At that time, there were clues that the dragon bones had been sent to a nearby school, but in reality, that school did not exist at all.

Because Lin Feng used to study archaeology, he was also interested in the rumors of dragons.

Therefore, Lin Feng knows these contents.

And the content of the letter that Wu Xingxing said is really related to the Yingkou falling dragon incident.

Wu Zongtang was a very famous jade carving master at that time, and at the same time, he was also the honorary president of the Antiquities Association at that time, and had a very high status in the antique industry in the country. However, the prosperity of antiques, troubled gold, just in the troubled times, people have no longer pay attention to antiques, and this antiquities association basically exists in name only, Wu Zongtang has participated in a lot of organizations and activities at that time, specifically to protect antique cultural relics from outflow, for example, the old site of Guancheng, is one of them.

Then.

In addition to Wu Zongtang, there were two other people who participated in the activities of Zangzhen.

One is called Mo Qiguang, and the other is Wu Aitong.

Wu Aitong is a member of Wu Zongtang's family, and he follows Wu Zongtang, which can be regarded as having a lot of convenience in business, and he has made a lot of money in the antique business.

Later, through Wu Zongtang, I met Mo Qiguang, another person in charge of treasure collection activities.

The two often collaborated with Wu Zongtang.

There are many antiques that have survived in the preservation of that time.

At a time when other people were selling national treasures overseas at low prices in order to make money, the actions they organized at that time did protect many cultural relics and prevent them from flowing out. For example, this old Tibetan site in Guancheng is the old Tibetan site that was excavated relatively late, and most of the others were excavated and protected decades ago.

Wu Xingxing found the letter from that book, and the content of the letter focused on Mo Qiguang and Wu Aitong.

The meaning of the sentence on the jade bi is that Mo Qiguang killed Wu Zongtang, and things came and went

The veins and clues are in the original ancient book of the two hundred and eighty heroes of the Purple Light Pavilion.

After the Yingkou Falling Dragon Incident.

Wu Zongtang, as a jade carving mage and a master of Chinese culture, rushed to Yingkou as soon as possible, and naturally went to see the situation at that time.

The letter described.

"This giant dragon, the body is towering, the fishy aura is striking people, there are three armors on the left and right sides of the head, the spine is more than three inches wide, attached to the two sides of the spine are ribs, each is about five or six inches long, and the tail is a vertical plate-shaped white bone tail, the whole has a total of twenty-eight sections, each section is about a foot long, and the whole is more than three zhang."

"Where the dragon fell in Yingchuan, there is a pit of two zhang wide and five zhang long that was dug by claws, and the pit clearly exists along the paw prints, and there are mats nearby, or for the people to shade the dragon, there are shrines, incense burners, two feet of incense ash, and places where the people pray. There, the keel has moved, and there are still tendons, but as for the flesh and scales, they are no longer visible."

Obviously.

When Wu Zongtang arrived at the scene at that time, it should have been the time when the Yingkou dragon falling incident had completely spread.

At that time, the transmission of information was not yet developed, so by the time Wu Zongtang arrived there, the dragon's keel had been moved to a nearby flat land, and the site was fenced off for people to visit.

Because of the place where the dragon fell, the skin and flesh of the dragon had completely rotted, and the fishy smell was too strong for ordinary people to approach.

And Wu Zongtang went to see the place where the falling dragon fell, and he also saw that the big pit and paw prints left by the falling dragon because of the struggle before he died were actually still there.

At that time, someone wanted to save the dragon in order to shade the dragon, but unfortunately, the dragon still failed to save it. There are also people nearby, who have set up shrines, and there are large incense burners to burn incense for the dragon to worship, and the incense ashes alone are two feet deep.

Other words.

Before the dragon was completely dead, the people in the vicinity saw it.

They even shaded themselves with the dragon, burned incense, and worshipped.

As some people later speculated, it was just the skeleton of a baleen whale, and when it was not rotten at that time, how could the local people not see it, and how could they go to burn incense and worship?

The content of Wu Zongtang's letter is direct evidence.

This shows that the Yingchuan falling dragon at that time was really very likely to be a real dragon, that is, the dragon in the zodiac.

It is mentioned later in the letter.

After Wu Zongtang and others visited the site, they felt that this keel must be well preserved. And at this time, it is a time of war, what kind of way can the keel be preserved intact and not damaged?

Wu Zongtang discussed many plans with Mo Qiguang and Wu Aitong.

Ultimately.

They decided to get on the boat from the keel on the Yingchuan River, and then transport it to a private mountain villa built by Lord Baylor nearby, who was a hidden man, Aiyu, and a good friend of Wu Zongtang, and the matter hit it off.

With the productivity at that time, it was indeed not easy to load and transport such a huge keel intact on the ship.

After exhausting manpower and material resources, the keel was loaded and transported away, but when it arrived on the ship, Wu Zongtang couldn't find Mo Qiguang and Wu Aitong.
