CH.23 Speaking of Dragons

"Can I ask you for a favor?" Li Brown asked, staring directly at Cui Lu.

"No, you can't. I have already repaid you. ”

"I think-"

"I know what you're going to do, but I can't help you. The imperial court forbade officials to train swordsmen privately, especially those of the Royal Sword Academy within our system. ”

"Looks like I'm overthinking. Go your own way, don't cross it here!" Li Brown said and was about to part ways.

"Slow little brother, I have something to say to help you, do you listen or not?"

Li Brown stopped, turned around and said, "Listen up." ”

"When you knew that you were physically abnormal, did you have any heartbeat, or more precisely, pride and conceit?"

Li Brown was stunned at first, and then blinked three or four times.

"You should know the dragon and phoenix among people?"

"Yes. ”

"What I'm saying isn't what you often say, it's true. Cui Lu tilted his head and slanted his lips and said, he wanted to look at Li Brown's expression before deciding whether to continue.

"What kind of true law?"

"It's a real dragon. ”

"Isn't the true dragon the Emperor of the Son of Heaven?" asked Li Brown curiously.

Cui Lunu shook his head.

"That's?"

Cui Lu saw that Li Brown was interested, so he said: "What I will say next is a hidden word that the dynasty, the rivers and lakes, the cultivators in the system, the scattered cultivators, and even the northern Hulu know, but everyone avoids talking about it. Each has its own reasoning. For the rivers and lakes of the dynasty, it is a great rebellion, and for the northern Hulu, it is taboo, because the dragon veins are connected, and the five dragons work together, and it is the Hu people who are swept away. So, what I'm going to say next is a big rebellion, and there's another reason why I haven't said it, do you listen or don't listen?"

"Listen. ”

"Another reason is that it's so vague and ridiculous, it's likeβ€”"

"Novelists' words, supernatural stories, three mysteries, mystical poems?"

"Yes, it's worthy of reading the books of the sages, and you can understand it at one point. Cui Lu smiled. He continued: "The Central Plains and Kyushu are divided into nine tripods, and since then, ghosts and monsters are flat and beasts are spiritual. Wuyue is angry, and the entire continent is like an eye made of Go, and no external force can interfere to destroy Shenzhou. ”

Li Brown nodded.

"But there is a difference between true and false, and sometimes the qi cannot be smoothed and connected, so there is an external force embedded in it first and intervenes in the continent. The qi of the true and false eyes lies in the direction of the five mountains, whether there are five corresponding true dragons, the true dragons come out, the qi is connected, the true eyes are made, and the country is prosperous;

"A real dragon and a fake dragon? Buyi can also be a real dragon, isn't it a usurpation of the imperial system and a beheading?" asked Li Brown vigilantly.

"Yes, the Yellow Nest you are talking about, do you know that it is a fake dragon?"

"Fake dragon?" Li Brown thought that he seemed to have heard the wrong words, and he was trying to recall which book this was an allusion in which book, the history of the Tang Dynasty, the old and new Tang history did not seem to have written this, so he asked, "Is this passed on by word of mouth?"

"There is history as evidence, true records. It is recorded in the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty. ”

"But I've read the "Old Tang Book", and it doesn't seem to be written like this in the one hundred and fifty Huangchao biography?"

Cui Lu smiled: "You are very smart, you have a good memory, and you will never forget, maybe you are real." ”

Li Brown was even more puzzled and said, "Really?"

"I mean, do you know the version?"

Li Brown nodded and said no more. All dynasties and dynasties will cut down and delete ancient books in the edition, and all records that are not conducive to the rule of the dynasty will be cancelled and rewritten.

In the second year of the Later Jin Dynasty, there is a record in the Book of Tang in the book of Henan Jigu Pavilion. ”

"Isn't it the year when the book was written?" Li Brown suddenly brightened.

"That's right, so that year's Jigu Pavilion was the original. As soon as this book came out, the world was in an uproar, and the emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty was afraid of endangering his rule, so he carried out the book revision activity with the delusion of the gods. And the old original Tang book was hidden in the wall of the house, and it was handed down. Nowadays, all practitioners have written records of this chapter or have heard about it, but everyone keeps it secret, and this text was originally forbidden. Do you know that the Tang people have discovered this secret a long time ago?"

"How?"

"The shore of heaven and earth, the tomb of the great river, there are monsters, and the cover is very scaly. It is not difficult to get water, change wind and rain, and go up and down the sky. ”

"Han Yu's subject book?"

"Yes, little brother, you should understand it by now, right?"

Li Brown heard it in a fog, and he didn't know how to involve the Tang people again, so he said: "The ancients also cultivated swords?"

"Cultivation, everyone has their own cultivation method, the past dynasties have the characteristics of the previous dynasties, and the closest Gao Jian Xiu dynasty to the Great Song Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty. During this period, there were many talented people, and the cultivation methods were so wonderful that the sword path was enjia in the sea and subdued. In this dynasty, there were ministers who studied Tang Jian. ”

Li Brown only felt as if the world had suddenly been opened, just like when he was a child and suddenly felt bright and bright.

"The literati have Wenlong, and the martial arts have Wulong. But basically, the civil and martial dragons are not separated, because most of the people who are called big dragons are capable of writing and martial arts. Just like scholars can practice swords in the art of war, generals can also read scriptures and history. This dragon has to become a climate, it has to be bigger, it has to cross the river, and it has to be a group of dragons to have a prosperous country. That's why Yi says 'dragons have no leader'. ”

Li Brown asked, "The dragons have no leader, isn't it a rabble without a leader?"

Cui Lu smiled: "It's still a younger brother!" 'The dragons have no leader' is not about the dragons without a leader, but the meaning of the dragon seeing the head but not the tail. The dragons are thriving and sweeping the sea. ”

"According to what you say, the country doesn't have to work hard to fight, can't it just gather the five dragons?" asked Li Brown.

"It has been forbidden in all dynasties, and it is not so simple. If you can escape the suppression and inspection of the dynasty, you may not be able to find the five dragons successfully. Five dragons can't be more than a river, and they can't become a climate. ”

"What kind of way to cross the river?"

"They must all have some practice, and each has its own achievements, and crossing the tribulation is called 'crossing the river'. This is not the most difficult, the most difficult thing is to distinguish between real and fake dragons, and if you can't distinguish between real and fake dragons, you will waste a time in vain, and it will not help. This is the second difficulty. There is a third difficulty. ”

"The third difficulty?"

"The five dragons prescribed by Wuyue are in a cycle of sixty years, and you have to find the corresponding dragon according to the five elements that change in the cycle. However, how to find the dragon in the five directions in the transformation is another big problem. For example, the cycle to our Dongyue Taishan is the 'earth' direction, you have to find the earth-based dragon in the earth-bearing direction, but because of the existence of the fake dragon, there may be a water-based dragon in the 'water' direction, at this time, how to accurately judge the changes in the five elements, how to distinguish the true from the false, all kinds of problems are intertwined, so it is very difficult. ”

Li Brown asked tentatively: "So, there is still no actual basis for this set of arguments?"

"Yes. Farther away, the Huangchao Rebellion is a recorded fake dragon incident, and more recently, the founding ancestor of this dynasty is the real dragon, and the five dragons will have these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. ”
