Chapter 139: The Dragon in the Pool

After wasting the boss's effort, Yu Zhenyi was able to control his demons.

At this time, he raised his head and stepped to the next level of the Purgatory Cave Heaven. Here he saw a pool of water. The pool seemed to be very small, but after Yu Zhenyi looked at it from afar, it became very large.

As if between heaven and earth, Yu Zhenyi became an ant, and the pool became a vast ocean.

In the sea, there are countless dragons, rolling their bodies.

Jiao, pond fish, Jiao comes to be long, with horns called dragons, and no horns called Jiao. Jiao turned into a dragon for a thousand years, and a dragon turned into a real dragon for five hundred years. In ancient mythology, Jiao was the most primitive stage of the dragon and did not have horns yet.

After practicing for a thousand years, Jiao can evolve into a dragon after surviving the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation. The dragon is no longer a water beast, but a young dragon that has just grown horns. From Jiao to Qi is a qualitative leap, and from Qi Long to Zhen Long is a quantitative change. The dragon is already a dragon, and he can leave the water and soar for nine days. The dragon belongs to the juvenile stage of the dragon and is the weakest.

Panlong, four feet long, blue-black, red belt such as brocade, often go down with the water, into the sea.

In ancient mythology, Pan Long is the fifteenth son of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, a dragon that lives in rivers, lakes and seas, but stays in the world for a long time. Beaulieu is responsible for turning the clouds and rain and controlling the weather. Due to work reasons, the dragon could not stay in the sky, so he stayed in the mortal world for a long time. On many ancient buildings, the image of the dragon often appears on the pillars and beams of the palace, representing that the emperor is a true dragon left in the mortal world.

Nuwa refines the five-color stone to make up for the sky, and the broken ao is enough to set up the four poles, kill the black dragon to help Jizhou, and accumulate ash to stop the water.

In mythology, the black dragon is a very vicious dragon, and its strength is extremely strong, far surpassing the dragon and the white dragon. The black dragon can swallow clouds and mist, summon monstrous waves, and cause floods. Legend has it that after the Gonggong broke the Buzhou Mountain, the heavenly pillar tilted, and at this time a black dragon appeared between heaven and earth, and this black dragon brought a huge flood and flooded the mortal world. So Nuwa Niangniang refined stones to make up for the sky, cut off the four legs of the Shenao to support the four directions, and killed the black dragon that brought the flood, and the mortal flood subsided.

There is a red dragon in Juzhou to see in Longwangyu, first big and then small, ten zhang long, the grass and trees that pass are like burning. The red dragon is a fire dragon, the body is red, and when it flies, it exudes raging flames, and when the dragon's mouth is spit out, it is a powerful dragon flame.

The red dragon can breathe fire from its mouth. According to myths and legends, the red dragon can change its body size at will, like a golden hoop stick can be big or small, the red dragon can be a dozen zhang long, the smallest can be like a bird. After the red dragon flew over, the grass and trees of the earth were roasted dry, as if they had been burned.

The Oriental Green Dragon, the essence of the horns, spit out the clouds, make a sound of thunder, fly the eight poles, travel around the four underworlds, and come to Liwu Zuo.

The green dragon is one of the dragons in ancient mythology and one of the "four elephants" in traditional culture. The green dragon, together with the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu, are called the "four elephants". The green dragon is an oriental sacred beast, representing the spring of the four seasons of the year, meaning vitality and benevolence. The green dragon, also known as the Canglong, rules the seven eastern constellations, such as the horns, Kang, Di, Fang, heart, tail, and Kei, and the shape of the seven eastern stars in the night sky resembles a giant dragon.

The god of Zhongshan, known as the candle dragon, is regarded as day, the night is the night, the blow is the winter, the call is the summer, the body is not drunk, the food is not eaten, the body is thousands of miles long.

The candle dragon is incarnated by a part of Pangu's body, and belongs to the ancestor level of the dragon class. The candle dragon is the god of Zhongshan, and he can control the cycle of day and night, and the cycle of the four seasons. The body of the candle dragon is very large, thousands of miles long, and resembles a large snake. The candle dragon lives in the extremely cold place in the north, does not eat, drink, sleeps or breathes, but lives alive and freely, which is the strength of the candle dragon.

Ying Long is in the South Pole, kill Chi You and Kuafu, can not be repeated, so the next number of droughts, drought and the shape of the dragon, is a heavy rain.

Ying Long is the first general under the command of the Yellow Emperor, he is very capable of fighting and is extremely brave. The fierce god Chiyou and his general Kuafu were both beheaded by Ying Long. Unlike other dragons, Ying Long has wings, and he can form rivers by drawing the ground with his tail. After Ying Long killed Chi You, because of the excessive loss of divine power, he was unable to fly back to the heavenly court, so he could only live in the mortal sea. The candle dragon lives in the North Pole, and the Ying dragon lives in the South Pole. When Dayu controlled the water, he also received the help of Ying Long.

The ancestral dragon is the ancestor of ten thousand dragons, that is, the first dragon that appeared in the early stage of chaos. In ancient mythology, people were made out of the soil by Nuwa Niangniang, so who created the dragon? Fuxi, Fuxi created the first dragon.

Fuxi is the creator god in ancient mythology, he sealed Mount Tai, and then took the snake body, crocodile head, antlers, tiger eyes, fish scales, corbel, eagle claws, shark tail, whale baleen, and created the first dragon, the ancestral dragon.

Yu Zhenyi had only seen the dragon Baishui, but now he suddenly saw so many dragons, and he was a little flustered in his heart.

In this world, dragons are very rare.

There are many legends about Jiaolong.

When Tang Xuanzong was not on the throne, he once stocked a dragon in the pool of Xingqing Palace. When he ascended the throne, there was a small dragon in the Xingqing Palace Pond swimming to the water of the imperial ditch outside the palace, and it was strange and meandering, and it was in the shape of a vacant state. There are no men and women in the palace who do not come out to see.

Later, Tang Xuanzong was fortunate to travel to Xishu, and on the eve of departure, the dragon jumped into the air from the pool, drove the white clouds, crossed thousands of miles, and flew towards the southwest. The surrounding warriors all saw this spectacular scene. When Xuanzong traveled to the Jialing River and boarded the boat to cross the river, he saw the little dragon advancing close to the side of the boat, and the courtiers all witnessed this scene.

Xuanzong was moved to tears, and said to the courtiers left and right: "This is the dragon in my Xingqing Pond!" So Xuanzong ordered someone to spill wine into the river, and prayed in person, and the dragon went away from the water.

Later, Tang Xuanzong was in Luoyang, the eastern capital, resting in the temple during the day, and dreamed of a woman kneeling under the bed. The woman had a bright complexion, her hair combed into a bun, and she was dressed in a large veil and a wide dress.

Xuanzong asked her, "Who are you?" and she said, "I am the dragon girl in Your Majesty's Lingbo Pool, defending the palace and protecting the holy car, I am really meritorious." Now Your Majesty knows the music of the heavens, and please give me a song to glorify my kind. ”

The emperor played the huqin in a dream and played a song "Lingbo Song" for her. The dragon girl bowed to Xuanzong twice and left.

When I woke up, the emperor still remembered

music, and ordered the palace to ban music that day. The emperor personally held the pipa and repeatedly practiced and scrutinized it to familiarize himself with the tune. And in the Lingbo Palace banquet for hundreds of officials, Linchi played new songs.

The waves in the pool were surging and calm, and a goddess appeared on the water, the same woman the emperor had seen in his dream yesterday. The woman listened for a long time on the water before disappearing. So the emperor asked people to build a temple on Lingbo Pond, and priested her every year.

In addition to this, there is the legend of dragon hunting.

In Shazhou, northwest of Beiting, there is a river called Heihe. The river is deep enough to swing boats, and the river is often overflowing, washing away houses and flooding fields. As a result, all the crops in the northwest were flooded, and the fields were deserted and could not be cultivated. The inhabitants of the area also fled to escape the scourge of the flooding. Those who served as officials in Beiting Shazhou had to prepare offerings and go to the river to pray earnestly to the priests before they could judge political affairs. Otherwise, it will rain for months, or the flood will rise and flood the city.

In the first year of Tang Kai, Zhang Song of Nanyang was edicted to go to the north court to protect the capital. He came to the North Court and summoned the officials who had come to meet him in the suburbs to inquire about it. Some said: "There is a big dragon in the Black River, who loves to eat sheep, cows, dogs, pigs, etc., and it often floats on the water in the wind and waves, and watches how people priest by the river." I've known for a long time. ”

Zhang Song then ordered the preparation of cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and sweet drinks for the priests, arranged a banquet by the river, secretly summoned the left and right people, and ambushed them on both sides with bows and arrows in hand. Zhang Song led his subordinates to line up on the riverbank, respectfully and solemnly. After a while, a dragon about 100 feet long jumped out of the water and quickly came to the riverbank. Its gaze was like fire, shooting at the people on the shore.

When he was still about a few dozen steps away, Zhang Song ordered the archers to draw their bows to the fullest. The dragon came to the feast, and its body grew shorter, only a few feet long. When it was about to eat before it could eat, Zhang Song ordered the bow to be fired and the arrows to be released. For a time, ten thousand arrows were fired, but the dragon could not resist and died of arrows. After the dragon died, everyone in the city came to watch, and there was an uproar.

Zhang Song was happy that he had eliminated harm for the people, so he dedicated the dead dragon to the emperor. The emperor praised him for his decisiveness, and had the dragon's tongue cut out, put it in a small box, and give it to him. Moreover, his descendants are hereditary for the history of Shazhou's thorns, and they are still known as the "Dragon Tongue Zhang Clan".

Jingzhao was the daughter of a family and married Meng of Wuchang. At the end of the Tang calendar, Meng and his brother-in-law Wei Sheng were selected at the same time, Wei Sheng was awarded the Yangtze County Lieutenant, and Meng was awarded the Langzhou Record to join the army, and they went to the official post respectively.

Wei went to Shu from his husband, but there was no car, so Wei had to ride a horse. When she followed her husband to the mouth of Luo Gu, the horse was suddenly startled, and she was thrown off the horse and fell under a rock hundreds of feet deep. Looking down, it was dark and secluded, and there was no way down. Meng's cry was sad, and the whole family wept, not knowing what to do. Meng and his family set up offerings to pay tribute, wore mourning clothes and wore filial piety, and reluctantly left her. Speaking of Merriam-Webster, she fell on a rotten leaf about a few feet thick without any damage.

At first she seemed to be suffocated, but soon woke up. After a day, she was very hungry, so she wrapped the leaves in the snow and ate them. Looking to the side, there is a rock crevice, I don't know how deep. Looking up at the place where it fell, it looked like a big well, and it was reasonable to say that he would definitely die.

Suddenly, Webster saw a little bit of light like a lamp in the rock valley, which gradually grew larger. It turned out to be two points of light. As I got closer, I saw that it was a dragon's eye. Merriam-Webster was very frightened and stood with his back to the stone wall. The dragon gradually came out, five or six feet long, and when it reached the edge of the cave, it flew out of the hole.

In an instant, I saw another pair of eyes, and another dragon was about to go out. Webster was sure to die, and would rather be hurt by the dragon, and when the dragon was about to go out, he immediately hugged the dragon and stepped on the dragon. The dragon ignored her. Jump straight out of the cave and soar into the air. Webster didn't dare to look down, and let the dragon fly at will. It seemed to be about half a day, and she suspected that she had flown thousands of miles, so she opened her eyes and looked down.

The dragon gradually flew low, and saw the river and the sea and the grass and trees again. She was about four or five feet above the ground, and fearing that she would be carried into the river by the dragon, jumped down and fell right on the deep grass, and it took a long time for her to wake up.

Webster hadn't eaten for three or four days, was very tired, and walked very slowly. When he met an old fisherman, the old fisherman was surprised that she was not human. Merriam-Webster asked what the place was. The fisherman said that this was Yangtze County. Webster was secretly surprised, and said, "How far is this from the county?" said the fisherman. Merriam-Webster gave a detailed account of her origins, which, combined with hunger and thirst, made the old fisherman sympathetic and amazed. The old fisherman had tea porridge on his boat, so he asked her to quench her hunger. Wei asked, "Has Wei Shaofu of this county arrived?"

Wei said: "I am Wei Shaofu's sister, if you can take me to the county government, I will definitely repay you." ”

The old fisherman drove her outside the county hall. Wei Shaofu has been in office for many days. Wei went to the door and let him in to report that the thirteenth sister of the Meng family was here. Wei Sheng didn't believe it, and said, "The thirteenth sister followed Meng Lang into Shu, how could she suddenly come here!" Wei asked the messenger to explain the reason in detail.

Although Wei Sheng was surprised, he was not convinced. When he came out, his sister began to cry and tell her of her suffering, and her color was languishing and haggard, and it was almost indescribable. So he let her into the house to rest. It didn't take long for it to calm down. Watson was always skeptical. A few days later, the murderous letter in Shu really arrived, and Wei Sheng's heart became cheerful, and he was even more sad and joyful. He rewarded the old fisherman with 20,000 yuan and sent someone to send his sister to Shudi. Meng's joy and sorrow are endless.

At the end of the Tang Xiantong year, Shuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Weijin dedicated a keel, and there was a performance to describe this incident.

The table said: There is a common person named Hu Ju in Shanzheng Township, Tongcheng County, to which Shuzhou belongs, and a green dragon died in the courtyard of his house.

It was April, and there was silkworm foil for raising silkworms in the yard. Suddenly, the clouds thundered, and only the sound of fighting and touching in the clouds was heard, and the blood was sprinkled on the silkworm foil used for silkworm cultivation like rain. The blood does not contaminate the silkworm foil, and gradually concentrates and coagulates, and can be picked up and placed on the palm of the hand.

After a while, the person felt a piercing cold pain.

At first, a dragon's tail dragged around a bucket of swill, and then soared into the clouds. When it rains, it's all swill.

The dragon is dead

Later, it was dissected and it was found to have a large sore in its throat. The dragon is more than ten feet long, and the dragon's body and tail occupy half of each other. The tail is thin and thin. Scales are like fish scales. Only the whiskers are two feet long. Its feet are covered in a reddish membranous substance. Each of the two horns is two feet long.

At that time, he sent Da Yuncang to command the men and horses to send the dead dragon to Shuzhou. Because the dragon meat was too heavy to be carried in its entirety, it was cut into dozens of pieces and transported to the state capital.

In Guankou Baisha, there is a Taishan Mansion Jun Temple. Every spring and March, the Shu people will go to burn incense and pay tribute, and it has become a gathering of doctors and diviners in various states. At that time, a man, dressed in many patched clothes and looking haggard, also walked to the temple. No one took him seriously.

When he came to the river, the people were resting in the shade of the trees, and the poor man sat down on the stones.

After sitting for a while, he said to the people, "There is a dragon sleeping in this river. "No one responded to him. An old man beside him said, "How can you see it?" and the poor man said, "I have seen it." They said, "How about we meet?" and the poor man said, "It is not difficult." ”

He took off his coat and jumped into the water, holding a sleeping dragon out of the water, the smell of fish was particularly strong, the dragon closed its eyes deeply, the dragon claws, dragon teeth, dragon scales, and dragon tail were all intact. The clouds and mist suddenly gathered up, and the wind and water surged. And all the people stood up in astonishment, and saluted the poor man from afar, calling him a saint.

The poor man put down the sleeping dragon in his bosom and let it sink to the bottom, he picked up the clothes on the ground, put them on his shoulders, and walked away, and said to the people, "All of you are in the profession of seeing a doctor and divination, saving people in times of need, knowing good luck and evil, and you are almost doing the right thing. Do not despise and insult the poor when you see them!"

Everyone walked with him for more than ten miles, and in the blink of an eye he was gone.

Yu Zhenyi also heard Li Yan tell a legend.

In the center of the fairy cave village, there are three ponds in the shape of "product", which is full of lotus, every midsummer, the red and white lotus flowers are swaying and colorful, the flowering period is 60 days longer than the lotus flowers in the lake, the reason for this is to start from the ancient legend.

A long, long time ago, on a sunny afternoon, a little Ah Hei in the fairy cave was leisurely grazing in the dam. Suddenly, dark clouds rolled in, the wind was fierce, and there was no rain, but the mountains shook somewhat, and little Ah Hei was frightened into a small cave next to him to take refuge, he thought it should be a big rainstorm.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the wind stopped, and the dark clouds dissipated without a trace, and he strangely tilted his forehead and looked at the sky, and the scene of the wind and sun was restored. He stepped out of the hole with joy, and before he had taken two steps, his joy froze instantly, and his feet, which were about to fall, stopped moving. It turned out that just below his feet, a little green snake covered in blood was dying, and from that pitiful appearance, Xiao Ah Hei read the pleading, he retracted his feet, put it down, bent down and gently picked up the little green snake and hid it in his arms.

Back home, Xiao Hei's father used ancestral herbs to apply to the wound of the little green snake, once a day, every day to change the little green snake, a week's time, the little green snake's injury healed, happy little Ah Hei held the little green snake to show the little friends, little friends you pass me I pass on you to the little green snake as a baby.

In the middle of the night, the whole fairy cave was covered with dark clouds, the thunder rolled, the sand and stones were flying, the heavy rain instantly filled the village, the water in the fairy lake rose sharply, and the whole village was about to be submerged, only to hear a loud sound of "dong", the fairy cave village swayed a few times but quieted down, no matter how loud the thunder sounded, how big the rain was, the steeply rising lake obediently retreated into the lake, as quiet as usual.

In the early morning of the next day, when the villagers of Xianrendong Village walked out of their homes, they saw three ponds growing in the center of the village for no reason, arranged in the shape of "Pin", and behind the two parallel drainage ponds, there was a high mountain, the mountain was densely wooded, the green trees were shady, and the winding path into the village became wider.

As the days passed, a few villagers always thought that it was a good thing that the road was wider, and the extra mountain was not a big problem, but the three ponds in the middle of the village were always a little uneasy, for fear that the children or chickens and pigs of any family would fall into it.

In order to be safe, they began to pull soil to fill the pond, who knew that just filled in some soil, the people in the village were sick, and there was a death, and the livestock were also sick and died, when everyone was panicking, the grazing little Ah Hei received the dream of the little green snake, saying that it was not a snake, but a green dragon in the sky, in order to maintain the justice of the heavenly palace and the evil black dragon battle, accidentally injured and fell into the world to become a small green snake to escape a catastrophe.

Unexpectedly, the injury was just right that day, Xiao Ah Hei took it out to find a partner, and was seen by the black dragon who was wandering, in order to prevent the future trouble, not to let the green dragon return to the heavenly palace, the black dragon took advantage of the fairy cave in the dead of night to carry out a sneak attack, fortunately, the little green snake found it in time, changed back to its original form, and fought three hundred rounds with the invading black dragon, but because he had just recovered from his injury, his physical strength was not as good as before, no matter how hard it tried, but it still couldn't stop the steep rise of the lake.

In order to repay Xiao Ahei for saving his life, he resolutely lay in Xianrendong Village, turning his eyes and mouth into a pond, his body into a mountain, and his nose into a road into the village, firmly guarding Xianrendong Village.

Who would have thought that the villagers who didn't know the truth would cover its eyes, which happened to help the black dragon, and the black dragon took the opportunity to make waves and scourge the fairy cave village. The little green snake asked Xiao Ah Hei to tell the villagers that it should not fill in its eyes and mouth, and that it could be covered by aquatic plants, otherwise, it would not be able to protect Xianrendong Village.

After dawn, Xiao Ahei told everyone about the dream that the little green snake entrusted to him, and the villagers suddenly woke up, and worked together to fish out the soil that was filled in the pond, and planted lotus in the three ponds.

Since then, the entire Xianrendong Village has been safe and sound, but occasionally there are torrential rains, but the three ponds can suppress the steeply rising lake water, and with the care of the green dragon, the lotus flowers will naturally bloom longer.

In this pool, Yu Zhenyi thought of these legends, and was a little scared in his heart.

The white water he'd ever seen was just a little dragon.

In this pool, all the old dragons who have lived for I don't know how many years.
