Parasitic mayflies in the heavens and the earth, a millet in the sea.

Yu Zhenyi was in the pool at this time, and he didn't know what to do.

He had also heard a lot of legends about evil dragons.

These dragons can eat people. If there is no imperial court, I don't know how many evil dragons will appear in heaven and earth. In the past China, the evil dragon was in charge.

During the reign of Tang Yizong, there was a Longquan Mountain a hundred miles away from the capital, and there was a mountain spring called "Longquan" on the mountain. On this day, a group of Taoist priests suddenly came to Longquan Mountain, headed by a Taoist chief who was about forty years old, and his law name was "Tianyuan".

Soon after the Taoist chief came to Longquan Mountain, he began to build a Taoist temple. He not only built the Taoist temple next to Longquan, but also built a large pond downstream of Longquan. In order to complete the Taoist temple as soon as possible, the Taoist chief of Tianyuan also deliberately divided the craftsmen into two groups to work day and night, so it took less than a year for the Taoist temple called "Wolong Temple" to be built.

In the evening of this day, stonemason Liu Datou was mining stones on the mountain with his apprentice Ma Ermao, when he saw several small Taoist priests driving four large carriages covered with black cloth into the Wolong Temple. Ma Ermao asked in confusion: "Master, what is it in that carriage? ”

Liu Datou said jokingly: "Maybe that Taoist is an old man, don't look at pretending to be during the day, and let the apprentices go outside to pick up the flower girl at night for their own lewd pleasure." Ma Ermao listened to it with joy, but he had already made up his mind in his heart, and was ready to climb over the wall to Wolongguan at night to see what was going on.

After dinner, Liu Datou, who was tired all day, fell asleep snoring. Ma Ermao crept up from the bed, slipped out of the house, trotted on the familiar mountain road, and after a while, he was already standing outside the courtyard wall of Wolongguan. He heard someone talking about something inside the wall, and when he listened closely, it turned out that the little Taoist priests were talking about how to release the dragon into the pool. Ma Ermao was interested in hearing this, and wanted to see what the dragon looked like.

He climbed to a big tree in three or two clicks, and saw a dozen little Taoist priests holding torches and driving away four monsters four or five meters long with iron rods. Ma Ermao had never seen those monsters, but judging from the shape of the monsters' bodies, they were really very similar to the legendary dragons.

At this moment, one of the dragons seemed to be annoyed by the iron rod in the hands of the little Taoists, and suddenly opened its bloody mouth and pounced on a little Taoist, fortunately there were ropes tied to the monster's body, and the little Taoists next to him were busy pulling the ropes hard, which subdued the crazy dragon. Ma Ermao sat on the treetops and watched in horror, he accidentally fell from the tree, and then crawled to escape from Wolongguan.

The next morning, Liu Datou took Ma Ermao up the mountain to work. Liu Datou looked at Ma Ermao, who was limping and his face was bruised, and asked, "What did you do last night? Why did you fall like this?" ”

Ma Ermao was afraid of being scolded by the master, so he said in a whisper: "I, I'll go to the town below the mountain to look for the girl...... I accidentally fell into a ditch on the road. Liu Datou knew that the girl Ma Ermao was talking about was a few secret prostitute sisters in the town who sold prostitution.

At noon, Liu Datou carried a water jar to the mountain stream next to him to get water to drink, but at the edge of the stream, Liu Datou suddenly found one of Ma Ermao's straw sandals.

Coming back from the mountain stream, Liu Datou threw the straw sandals he picked up in front of Ma Ermao, and said with a calm face: "Didn't you go to the town to look for the girl last night, why did your shoes appear by the stream?"

Ma Ermao saw that the matter could no longer be hidden, so he told Liu Datou the truth one by one. Ma Ermao said: "Master, there are really four dragons in the Wolong Temple. But it looks like they're all evil dragons, so what can I do?"

Liu Datou was silent for a while, and then said: "When I was a child, I heard the old people in the village tell the story of the 'dragon spring' on the mountain. It is said that many years ago, our area was plain and there were no mountains. One day, an evil dragon descended from the sky and came here. The dragon did everything it could, not only eating all the wild animals in the vicinity, but also the livestock that the people relied on for their livelihood. Eventually, the dragon will eat the people in the vicinity. Fortunately, at this time, there was a wandering immortal passing here, and after a vicious battle, the immortal finally subdued the evil dragon, and moved a mountain to press on the evil dragon's body, so that the evil dragon could never turn over. The evil dragon who was crushed under the mountain finally shed tears of repentance, and the tears flowed more and more into Longquan, and the mountain was named Longquan Mountain from then on...... Now that there are four evil dragons at once, I really don't know what will happen!"

Ma Ermao was fascinated by what he heard, and hurriedly asked, "Then what should we do now?" Liu Datou sighed and said

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, let's be careful." ”

One day two months later, Ma Ermao drove the donkey to the bottom of the mountain to transport the stones, the donkey carried the stones in front, and Ma Ermao held a leather whip behind. While passing a small river, a huge wave suddenly rose on the calm water, and a huge dragon head suddenly emerged from the water and bit the donkey. Ma Ermao was immediately stunned, watching the evil dragon swallow the donkey alive, and even the stone on the donkey's back was swallowed into his stomach by the evil dragon.

Ma Ermao ran back to the mountain in a panic and told Liu Datou what had just happened. Liu Datou was also stunned after hearing this, their master and apprentice transported stones down the mountain all by the donkey, and now the donkey has been devoured by the evil dragon, how to do the work in the future!

So, Liu Datou picked up the big hammer that smashed the stone and asked Ma Ermao to lead the way in front, and the two hurried to the place of the incident. The dragon hadn't even left, it was lying on the river basking in the sun with a huge belly. Looking at the leisurely appearance of the evil dragon, the angry Liu Datou pulled the big hammer in his hand into a circle, and the big hammer flew out of Liu Datou's hand like a meteor and smashed it towards the evil dragon.

Liu Datou originally wanted to smash the dragon's head with a flying hammer, but he didn't want to miss it and landed on the dragon's front paws, and the dragon screamed in pain and crawled back into the river with a twisted body.

Ma Ermao, who was on the side, asked anxiously: "Master, the evil dragon has run away, is it possible that our donkey has been lost in vain?" Liu Datou said angrily: "No, we must not spare this evil dragon and those stinky Taoist priests on the mountain, otherwise I don't know how many livestock and people will suffer."

Let's go, let's go to the county government to complain, and tell the county magistrate everything about today and what you saw outside the 'Wolong Temple' that night. After speaking, the master and apprentice walked down the mountain quickly and went straight to the direction of the county seat.

Above the lobby, Gao Daoming, the county magistrate, was greatly surprised after hearing the complaint of Liu Datou's master and apprentice, could it be that there really is a living dragon in this world? But the two masters and apprentices kneeling under the hall did not seem to be lying. So, Gao Daoming said with a straight face: "You can't joke in the court, do you know the consequences of teasing this official!"

Liu Datou hurriedly said: "What Xiaomin and his apprentice said is true, if there is half a lie, he will be put on the board and in prison at the disposal of the master." Gao Daoming felt that there must be something strange in this case, so he decided to go to the scene with Li Jun, the head catcher.

Early the next morning, Gao Daoming and Li Jun took a group of officials and followed Liu Datou's master and apprentice to the small river at the scene of the incident, and there were still traces of blood left by the evil dragon after devouring the donkey. Liu Datou pointed to another small stall of blood not far away and said to Gao Daoming: "Master, that stall of blood is left by the evil dragon being smashed by the villain's hammer on its front paws. In order to prevent the evil dragon from suddenly emerging from the river, the officials and shop heads hurriedly drew their sabers from their waists to guard Gao Daoming.

Gao Daoming cautiously approached the bloodstain, and sure enough, through the cool river water, he could see a deep nest in the mud and sand below the river surface, which must have been left by the injured dragon. According to what Ma Ermao said, Gao Daoming decided to take someone to investigate Wolongguan immediately.

The Tianyuan Taoist of this Wolong Temple doesn't know what the origin is, since the construction of the Wolong Temple, he has never visited the county government, which also makes Gao Daoming very unhappy. He decided to use this case to clean up the Tianyuan Daoist who didn't know the height of the sky.

So, Liu Datou's master and apprentice led the way in front, and Gao Daoming and Li Jun led a group of people straight to Wolongguan.

When Gao Daoming and the others arrived, the gate of Wolongguan was closed, and two small Taoist priests with swords in their hands stood on both sides of the gate, one on the left and one on the right. Gao Daoming wondered in his heart, it was noon at this time, and the Taoist temple should be open to welcome pilgrims from all over the world. But this gate is closed, and a little Taoist priest with a sword is sent to guard outside the door, there must be something wrong here.

Li Jun relied on his identity as a head catcher, coupled with his good kung fu, and he didn't take the two little Taoist priests who guarded the door in his eyes at all. Li Jun shouted in a big way: "Quickly open the gate, we will search the Taoist temple." ”

Unexpectedly, the little Taoist priest sneered disdainfully: "Don't say that you are a little head catcher, even if the county commander and the prefect come, they will not dare to spread wild in front of our door." Gao Daoming heard this little Taoist priest's arrogant tone, presumably there must be a reason, he had to force the anger in his heart to stand up, and said: "I am the county magistrate of this county, go and call your Taoist chief out to see me." The two little Taoist priests exchanged glances, and one of them pushed the door and entered.

After a while, Daoist Tianyuan came out of the gate with a few small Taoists. Tian Yuan Dao smiled

Meat did not smile at Gao Daoming and said: "I don't know that the county order is coming, and I will miss the welcome, and I hope that there will be a lot of Haihan." I don't know what your lordship is doing with me today!"

The Tianyuan Daoist was very arrogant, no wonder the little Daoists under him were arrogant. Gao Daoming had no choice but to say: "Someone reported that there is an evil dragon in your Wolong Temple, and it has devoured this fellow's donkey. Today I am bringing someone to find out the truth. ”

I don't want to hear Gao Daoming's words that day, not only was he not afraid, but he laughed out loud and said, "Lord Zhixian is very well-informed. To tell you the truth, I do have real dragons in this Taoist temple, but these dragons of mine are pampered every day, how can they eat the donkeys of my fellow countrymen! Besides, these dragons of mine are kept in Taoist temples, and it is impossible for them to go down the mountain at all. ”

At this time, a little Taoist priest ran out of the gate in a panic and whispered something in the ear of the Tianyuan Daoist. Seeing that Daoist Tianyuan's face changed abruptly, he said to Gao Daoming and the others outside the gate: "There is something in the view, so I won't leave adults to drink tea today." After speaking, Daoist Tianyuan walked back to the Taoist temple quickly, and the door of the Taoist temple was closed tightly again.

Li Jun, the head catcher, was so angry that he stomped his feet in the arrogance of the Tianyuan Daoist, and he couldn't help but scold: "Master, this miscellaneous old Taoist is too arrogant! ”

After eating the closed door, Gao Daoming's face turned blue with anger, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Knock open the door for me, search! Those who dare to block it will be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the imperial court!" The two little Taoist priests at the door saw that the scene in front of them was not good, so they naturally didn't dare to stop them, so they hurriedly threw away the swords in their hands and stood aside obediently.

The door of the Taoist temple was simply closed, and there was no latch from the inside. Li Jun was the first to step forward and pushed open the door of Wolongguan. After Li Jun led the team to rush into the Taoist temple, after only a few steps, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.

It turned out that next to the pool twenty meters away, there were four behemoths four or five meters long, these monsters had their mouths wide open, their bodies were covered with scales, and they were very similar to the legendary dragons except that they did not have horns on their heads. In order to prevent the monsters in the water from coming out and hurting people, a two-meter-high iron fence was erected on the perimeter of the pool. Fortunately, Gao Daoming still had some knowledge, and he exclaimed: "Isn't this a pig dragon? Why does it grow so huge and fierce!"

Daoist Tianyuan was talking to the little Taoist priests next to the pool, and when he saw Gao Daoming and them breaking into the Taoist temple, he was naturally very annoyed! Daoist Tianyuan actually pointed at Gao Daoming's nose and scolded: "You little county magistrate has a few heads! You dare to break into my Wolong Temple!"

At this point, Gao Daoming naturally refused to show weakness, and shouted angrily: "I am an official of the imperial court, and it is my duty to protect the people." There is a way that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the people, and your demon raises evil dragons in the Taoist temple, harming the people's livestock and endangering the lives of the people. Come on, get him for me!"

Unexpectedly, that day, the Yuan Dao Chief actually laughed a few times, and said in a strange manner: "This Dao Elder aims to raise dragons here, but I want to see which one has eaten the bear's heart leopard gall and dares to touch half a hair." ”

After Gao Daoming and the others listened to the words of the Tianyuan Daoist, they were all stunned, no wonder all the Taoist priests in this Wolong Temple were arrogant and rude. As he spoke, Daoist Tian Yuan had already taken out the Divine Decree from the room. Gao Daoming and the others hurriedly knelt on the ground, and the mountain shouted long live.

Gao Daoming had no choice but to leave Wolong Temple with everyone. He couldn't afford to provoke the Tianyuan Daoist, so he had to sprinkle all his anger on Liu Datou and Ma Ermao's master and apprentice. Gao Daoming pointed at the master and apprentice, and scolded: "You two bastards, you have caused a big disaster to my master." Come, tie them up and bring them back to the yamen, and each of them will be beaten with fifty boards!"

The officials rushed up again and tied up Liu Datou's master and apprentice, who had already been frightened and weak.

There is really no heavenly reason in this world, Liu Datou's master and apprentice lost the donkey and suffered the board, not to mention, and was fined thirty taels of silver by Gao Daoming, and then he was released home. You know, those thirty taels of silver are Liu Da's income in the first few years. Liu Datou was so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick when he returned home. Liu Datou fell ill, and Ma Ermao had to go to the mountain to work on quarrying stones. Because he was worried that the evil dragon would suddenly emerge from the river, Ma Ermao couldn't help but tremble every time he passed the small river.

On this morning, Ma Ermao was working, and suddenly Li Jun, the head catcher, came up from the bottom of the mountain with a few catchers.

Li Jun waved his hand, and a few catchers pressed Ma Ermao to the ground.
