Chapter 359: The Death of the Imprisoned Dragon
Ji Wenming also said dissatisfiedly: "Yes, I didn't expect that the holy mountain tens of thousands of feet high would become a stone pier when it reached the desolate world! Otherwise, you and I would definitely become the first people to reach the top! But there is no regret about this, if you return to the underground, it will be enough for you to brag for a lifetime!"
Baribaly smiled stupidly: "Yes, when I talk about the holy mountain to my children and grandchildren in the future, Lao Tzu is really the first person in the world under the abyss!"
Ji Wenming wanted to return directly to the territory of the Queen of Summer, but when he came to Taoqiu for the first time, he was also very curious about the customs and culture of this land of dragons, so he decided to play here for a few days.
The two rushed all the way to Taoqiu, their feet were very fast, when the sky was slightly bright, they had walked dozens of miles, came to the outside of Taoqiu City, under the influence of Kunbo, in order to avoid huge losses caused by floods, various human gathering points in recent years began to build cities to avoid floods.
The first city is built in the center of the human emperor residence in Osaka City, it is said that the city is as high as ninety-nine zhang, the moat under the city is a hundred zhang wide, the ordinary flood can only go around the city, the city of Kun Bo's strategy of building a city to avoid water, at the beginning was also appreciated by many people, but unfortunately, not all areas in the great wilderness are suitable for building a city and live, and the ordinary city is three or five zhang high, and can not avoid the huge waves of the flood, not to mention, the city construction requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is not a small tribe can support.
Therefore, this invention was slowly shelved, and no one mentioned it again.
Taoqiu is the place where the dragon clan raises the dragon for the emperor, the population is large, so it also builds the city and lives, the city wall here is as high as ten zhang, the scale should be regarded as a medium-sized city, there are nine hundred and eighty-one prisoner dragon wells distributed in the city, it is the place where Dong's father raises the dragon.
But in the early morning of this day, Dong's father was woken up by his subordinates knocking on the door before he got up, and asked the reason, it was actually hundreds of dragons in the prison dragon well that rioted, Dong's father hurriedly hurried his subordinates to suppress the Jiaolong riot everywhere, and he came to the largest well in Taoqiu.
Dong's father is nearly seventy years old, thin and energetic, this person is proficient in dragon language and can communicate with dragons, so there will be dragons who take refuge in him and be supported by him.
Most of these dragons were tamed and used as mounts for the emperor and his courtiers, and after death, they were dismembered and offered to the nobles as food.
Father Dong of the Fenglong clan came to this well, knocked on the stone wall with the cane in his hand, and said loudly: "Old man, do you know the reason for the rebellion of dragons in the city today?"
There was a sudden roar in the well, and then a huge dragon's head drilled out of the well, the dragon's body was still in the well, just looking at the head to see the hump-faced, antlers, horsemane, red hair, and golden eyes, he muttered angrily......
Father Dong's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "What, all the wells of the seventy-two dragon wells in Taoqiu City dried up overnight? How is this possible? You must know that this underground water vein was investigated by you and me together, and there are 80,000 acres of Honghu Lake outside, how can it be that it can be drained overnight?"
The dragon blinked his eyes a few times, then muttered a few times weakly, yawned lazily, retracted into the well, and after a while, snoring like thunder, he fell asleep again! This shaft is the largest and deepest well in Taoqiu, and the water depth in the well is still hundreds of zhang at this moment, so this old dragon is unwilling to care about the sky falling outside, anyway, there is still a tall person to worry about!
Now that the cause of the dragon rebellion has been discovered, Dong's father immediately has a way to deal with it, he called his subordinates, prepared to move these dragons, first drove them all to Honghu Lake to settle for a period of time, and then made plans after finding out the reason for the drying up of the water veins in the dragon well.
Father Dong did not have anyone who was proficient in dragon language, so he had to have people prepare a car, turn around the seventy-two dragon wells one by one in Taoqiu City, and read his decision to all the dragons, and these dragons settled down and waited for humans to help move.
So, not long after Ji Wenming entered the city, he heard about the Jiaolong that the Fenglong clan was going to feed him moved.
Ji Wenming took Baribaly to buckle a hat each, lest he expose his true face and frighten the others, they sat in a small shop to eat, and the diners next to him happened to be curious when they talked about it.
A bald man said: "Have you heard, the water of the seventy-two prison dragon wells dried up overnight, and the flood raged in the great wilderness, but we have no water here, what a strange thing!"
The blue-faced man in front of him smiled: "It's rare and weird, maybe it's because of the success of Cang Bo's water control, that's why the flood retreated!"
The bald man said: "Uncle Kun, forget it! I have heard that Uncle Kun has not succeeded in controlling the flood for many years, and he only knows that he has built high walls and accumulated grain, but the flood still floods the four fields, and in the past few years, the area of Taoqiu has been reduced by one-third, or it will be submerged in a short time! I heard that the emperor of the people will punish him for his sins!"
The blue-faced man lowered his voice and asked, "Where did you hear the news? Disrespectful to Uncle Kun! This is not far from the Xia Hou clan, but don't let people listen to it? It will kill you!"
The bald man said nonchalantly: "Hmph, when the Xia Hou clan itself is not protected, where can I take care of a little person, let me tell you, this news came from the mouth of the Fenglong clan! It is said that someone has mobilized several dragon ......."
Ji Wenming looked at the bald man with some disdain, and the person who looked at it had a chill down his spine, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense for a while, so he was silent, but he sensed that Ji Wenming's burning was pressing, and the blue-faced man couldn't force the edge, and after a while, he pulled the bald man and left in a hurry, going their separate ways.
Ji Wenming didn't believe in these headless news at all, over the years, although his father's actions have curbed the momentum of the flood, but the water source is unfinished, the torrential rain continues, and the flood cannot be completely solved, so all kinds of information circulated by the people are dizzying.
Ji Wenming would never allow anyone to slander his father, Uncle Kun, but he would not hurt people's lives because of a rumor, so he had to punish these idle people with his eyes and let them get out of trouble.
The people next to them didn't know that these two people had annoyed Ji Wenming, but they were still talking about dragons.
The people in Taoqiu City have seen a lot of dragons, and Pingsuri lives with dragons, and sometimes they can see dragons even when they draw water, so they don't think dragons are strange, the dragons here are quite human, and they are not wild, and they will not hurt people indiscriminately, so people and dragons get along safely.
But Ji Wenming had seen the tide of beasts, demon beasts, ghosts, and even more strange things, but he had never seen the dragon move, and he couldn't help but wonder, could these dragons still obey the command of humans if they were so powerful?
Baribaly also said very excitedly: "Boss, we originally had dragons in the lower world, and they are said to be the top creatures in the food chain, but I didn't expect you to have dragons here, and there are people who can raise dragons, it's really amazing, we should leave an eye-opener!"
Ji Wenming nodded and said, "Well, you might as well find a nearby inn to stay in and see the methods of the Fenglong Clan!"
