Chapter 455: North of Toyosu
Zong Xin continued: "There are two main theories about dragons, the original Central Plains was also a tribal society, and all tribes had their own totems, all of which were certain animals. When one tribe defeats another, the winner will add part of the loser's totem to his own totem, after all, it is not so easy to absorb other tribes, whether it is from the military or in the heart, to convince the other people. Therefore, the dragon's horns are like a deer, its head is like a camel, its eyes are like a rabbit, its neck is like a snake, its belly is like a mirage, its scales are like a fish, its claws are like an eagle, its palms are like a tiger, and its ears are like an ox. It is an illusory image that does not exist in the first place, but is produced by the combination of various animal totems. ”
"So, there are no dragons in the world?"
Zong Xin shook his head and said, "Well...... I can't tell. There are too many legends about the dragon, and the main origin is two, one of which is generated by this animal totem, and there is a legend that the dragon is a kind of divine beast, spreading clouds and rain, flying into the sky. ”
Regarding these things, in fact, the Khitan people also know about it, just like the totem dragon of the Khitan people in the Central Plains is not very well understood, but they also know what a wolf is, and there are wolves in the Central Plains......
Yelu Ruan then asked, "Master Zongxin, what exactly is the relationship between the Fire Qilin and the Dragon?"
"Father-son relationship. Zong Xin said: "Legend has it that dragons are extremely obscene and can be combined with all things. with pigs, give birth to elephants. Giving birth to a dragon foal with a horse, and giving birth to a unicorn when a cow is born. The Fire Kirin is one of them. Legend has it that there are eighty-one dragon scales on the back of the dragon, which is the number of ninety-nine, and it is also the appearance of the emperor and the king of beasts. Among various legends, only dragons and phoenixes can obtain the way of immortality. The dragon is immortal, and the phoenix is reborn after death. As for the other divine beasts, perhaps only the Spirit Tortoise Xuanwu has a slightly longer lifespan, but there is also an end of time. ”
Yelu Ruan nodded, of course he had heard Zongxin's statement, and knew that the dragon and phoenix were immortal, but he didn't know that the qilin was actually the child of the dragon, and it was actually the product of the combination of the dragon and the ox...... The taste of the dragon is too mixed, and pigs, horses, and cows can accept it.
Yelu'an smiled and said, "The dragons of the Central Plains are too powerful, aren't they, pigs, horses, and cows are all good?"
Zong Xin said: "Of course there is, the dragon and the snake are combined, and the dragon is born." The dragon and the chicken are together, and the dragon is born. The dragon and the Jiao are combined, and the pig is the dragon. The dragon and the centipede merge to give birth to a flying dragon. As long as you can think of animals, they all have the product of dragon intercourse. ”
"Pigs, horses, cows...... Snakes, the widow still understands, after all, the dragon resembles a snake. But...... Centipede...... Dragon's tastes are too mixed. Yelu Ruan was a little strange about this statement, and he couldn't imagine that the dragon really could do anything.
Zong Xin said: "Your Majesty, this is just a legend. Whether it's true or not, no one can say, but according to the legend, the fire unicorn has half the blood of a dragon. Legend has it that dragons can live forever, and taking dragon blood for alchemy is the way for Qin Shi Huang to seek immortality, but it is a pity that Xu Fu went to the islands of the East China Sea to find the dragon and never returned. However, whether there are dragons in the world or not, the poor monk does not know, but looking at King Ning's current state, the blood of the fire unicorn does have half the potency of the dragon's blood. Although it can't make people immortal, it can greatly slow down the speed of aging, and King Ning is only licking a little, if you can drink a full cup, I believe you can also live for decades, and it is not necessary to regain youth. ”
Tim Shou didn't have much attraction to everyone present for decades, but the rejuvenation's appeal to everyone was too great. They don't want to live in a state of aging for decades, but they want to be young again.
Zongxin said as he began to dress, first the outer robe, and then his own monk's robe and underwear. In the end, Zong Xin stripped his upper body naked, revealing the strong muscles on his body. But it doesn't look strong, it's strong.
Zong Xin took a sip of the gourd on his waist, and then some colors began to change on his body, and these colors roamed in Zong Xin's body, looking very weird. Everyone was scared, they knew that Zongxin would spell, but they had never seen a spell in their lives, so they didn't know what it was all about.
Soon, the colors slowly began to change into shapes, and finally everyone saw them. Zong Xin actually had two dragons tattooed on his body, these two dragons wrapped around his waist, stood over his shoulder, and finally the dragon's head fell on his chest, one on the left and one on the left and right.
The two dragons looked very fierce, as if they were ready to rush forward and fight each other desperately. These two tattoos are so real, so real that they are scary. And there was clearly no tattoo on Zong Xin's body just now, why did he suddenly run out? Could this be Master Zong Xin's mana?
Zong Xin said: "Everyone, this thing is a dragon. The poor monk has two tattoos on his body, and the painting is not bad. The dragon on the poor monk's body is patterned with a special pigment, which is not usually revealed, but when the poor monk is excited or drinking, the blood veins in the body swell, and the body temperature rises, and these two dragons will slowly emerge. ”
It's really scary, I thought it was some strange spell just now, but it turned out to be two tattoos. Tattoos are more common on the Khitan side, but most of the Khitan people have tattoos, perhaps the same idea as the Central Plains, all people are willing to tattoo the totems of their own tribesmen on their bodies.
However, most of the Khitan tattoos are rough, that is, the blue-blue pigment pierces a wolf's head, and there are no delicate tattoos like Zongxin's body. And the colors are red and white, and it looks like it was painted on the body.
Zong Xin clasped his hands together and said: "Your Majesty, the poor monk still has something to do, so he will retire first." It's cold to be shirtless all the time......"
Yelu Cha said with a smile: "Master Zongxin don't have to worry, it won't be cold for a long time, but it will be very hot." In the desert, your clothes are too heavy, so it's better to change your outfit, or it's too hot. ”
"Am I afraid of the heat?" Zong Xin asked rhetorically, and suddenly the temperature of the entire camp began to rise, and everyone felt a stream of heat. At this time, I remembered that Zong Xin had also learned the Nine Yang Burning Heaven Technique, although Yelu Zhen did not teach him the last two tricks, but Zong Xin had already practiced to the Seven Yang Striving for Glory, and his Burning Yang True Qi was enough to use light to make the ice cubes boil, and it was strange that this kind of person would be afraid of heat.
Yelu Cha was embarrassed, but he admired Zong Xin's acting skills very much. Because in front of others, the three of them, father and son, did not agree with Zongxin, so Zongxin would deliberately provoke in front of others from time to time, showing hostility. In fact, Zongxin is very close to the three of them, father and son.
After Zongxin left, Yelu Shendu breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Alas~ Master Zongxin's martial arts are getting higher and higher, and he almost scared me to death just now." I thought he was going to kill someone. ”
"Do you still need to be afraid? If someone does it, just stand there and let him kill, don't find guilt for yourself. Yelu'an said: "Just now, Master Zongxin just showed his true qi, and he didn't have the slightest killing intent, it should just be a deterrent." If Zongxin wanted to kill someone, no one else present would survive except for the king and his eldest son. ”
No one doubted Yelu Anduan's statement, because Zongxin had already learned the Seven Suns to compete for brilliance, and so far the number of times Yelu Zhen, the king of Shenwu, had used this trick was limited, and he had already been revealed in the Khitan. As for the last two moves of the Jiuyang Burning Heaven Technique, I have never heard of it, and I don't know when he used it on which master.
Since Zong Xin has already learned the Seven Yang Battle, it is not an exaggeration for his martial arts to dominate most of the Khitan. Although it is a pity, there is no way, who made this monk a high-ranking monk? His martial arts have far exceeded other people's imagination, and he is still so young. It is terrible that a child under the age of 20 should have such a martial arts cultivation, and his mind is also the first today.
Yelu Ruan said: "Master Fortunately Zongxin is a high-ranking monk, and in his eyes there is no difference between the Khitan and the Han, and ...... The widow learned from Master Zongzhi that the Central Plains would one day be ruled by our clan, but he didn't say anything about it. Master Zongxin said that after the rule, everyone will become a family, and there will be no difference between the Han and the Khitan in the future. Because of this, in Zongxin's eyes, the Khitan and Han people were originally the same race. ”
Understood, finally understood. Originally, other people have been thinking about why as a monk of the Han people, there is no difference between the Khitan and the Han people in his eyes, it is because he can pinch and calculate, and knows that the two families will eventually become one, so there will be no difference in his eyes.
He is worthy of being a high-ranking monk, although he is not very old, he has more ideas and ambitions in his heart than anyone else. It's a pity that he is a monk, otherwise he will definitely be able to dominate the world...... It is also fortunate that he is a monk, otherwise the Khitan will be wiped out by him sooner or later.
Yelu Ruan suddenly said, "By the way, King Ning, where is the Fire God Temple?"
"Back to Your Majesty, if the minister knew the specific location, I'm afraid he would have gone back and forth countless times. The minister only remembered the general direction. ”
"Let's talk about the general location and be more detailed, you can't fly around like a headless fly. ”
Yelu Cha said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is also according to what King Shenwu said, when he fought with the Turks, he lost his way in a desert, and finally somehow entered the Fire God Temple. At that time, the Turks were west of the Khitan and north of Fengzhou. Later, the minister went to Toyosu, and then traveled north from Toyosu. As a result, the locals told the minister that there was a desert in Toyoshu, where it was easy to get lost, and ten people entered the desert, and at most one or two of them could get out alive............"
Jerodzacth decided that King Shenwu had lost his way in that desert, and then found the Temple of Fire, so he brought plenty of food and water into the desert. Then he got lost in the desert, but fortunately there was plenty of food and water, and a dozen camels carried what he ate alone.
I don't know when Jerodzachel walked to the entrance of the temple of fire. At that time, he really couldn't distinguish between southeast and southwest, and even couldn't distinguish between up and down, left and right.
Upon entering the Fire Temple, there is a water source inside, but no food. He didn't know how long he had been in the Fire Temple, but he knew that he had eaten all the camels and food, leaving only food for the ministers to go back.
When Yelu Chacha left the Fire Temple, it was useless to follow the previous practice, and he would never be able to fight the Fire Temple again. Moreover, Fengzhou was not peaceful at that time, and Yelu Chaci was worried about his own safety, so he was very careful every time.
