There have been several archaeological enthusiasts in the county town who have verified that the "Five Dragons Competition" competition has a history of at least 2,000 years in the Wulong Mountain area, and as for how long it has been before 2,000 years, it is beyond the ability of archaeological enthusiasts because it is too old.

In the long history of mankind, there are many mysteries like this that cannot be verified, and the more time passes, the less likely it is to find the answer to the mystery.

However, there are very similar legends in the five villages in the Wulongshan area, and the first sentence of the legend begins like this: "It was ...... a long, long time ago."

It is necessary to explain that in Chinese legends, as long as three or more "long" are added at the beginning of the legend, then this legend is very likely to surpass "history" and contain more or less mythological elements.

According to legend, in that era "a long, long, long time ago", a dragon appeared in the mountains of the northwest......

There are two versions of the number of dragons that appear in the legend, and four of the five villages in the Goryushan area say that the number of dragons is five. There is only one village, that is, Donglongquan Village, where Zhao Yunfei's family is located, and it is said that there is only one dragon.

Because of the differences between "five" and "one", these two factions have had many disputes, and they both insist that they are correct and their inheritance is the most orthodox, and there have even been fights because of this in the **** era.

Generally speaking, the "five dragons" theory has won the support of more people, and their reasons are also convincing to a certain extent -- the mountain range in the northwest is called Wulong Mountain, and if it is a dragon, why not call it Yilong Mountain, or simply call it Longshan, but add the word "five," which is of course five dragons.

The villagers of Donglongquan Village can't say a specific reason, they feel that they don't need any reason, their ancestors have been passed down from generation to generation, and whoever dares to tamper with it without authorization is betraying their ancestors.

These five (one) dragons were very vicious, their huge bodies standing taller than the tallest trees in the village, they could swallow a cow in one bite, they could soar through the clouds, breathe fire and smoke, and after eating the wild beasts and livestock in the vicinity, they began to eat people.

In the face of such a powerful predator, there was no way for humans at that time, ordinary bows, arrows, knives and guns could not cause damage to the dragon at all, water and fire were the most powerful natural weapons that humans could master at that time, and the dragon liked both water and fire, and the ruthless water and fire were like fun toys in the eyes of the dragon.

Thousands of miles of fertile soil on the countryside is barren, and the surviving people are also living a dark life, like mice, dare not come out during the day, sowing and harvesting in the field can only be carried out under the cover of night, even so, there are still often people who die in the dragon's mouth, it is really a life of the people, miserable, human beings are about to extinction.

At this critical moment, an earth-shattering hero came from afar. With a bow and arrows on his back and a sword in his hand, he found the dragon's lair and fought it to the death, and finally slew the five (one) dragons with the strength of one man.

At this point in the story, there is a more serious disagreement, the "five dragons" theory is that after the death of these five dragons, the head is facing inward, the tail is facing outward, and they are arranged in a radial shape, turning into five mountain ranges, which is now Wulong Mountain.

According to the theory of "one dragon", after the death of this dragon, the hero was afraid that the dragon would be resurrected again, so he moved to five mountains and pressed the dragon's corpse underneath, so that the dragon could never turn over.

This hero relocated many villagers and divided them into five villages to protect Wulong Mountain, which is now East Longquan Village, West Longquan Village, North Longquan Village, Tajing Village and Zhenlongsi Village.

This hero not only has great courage, but also great wisdom.

He taught the villagers to abide by the five sacred scriptures of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith", and he said that only the five holy scriptures can seal the Wulong Mountain, and if the sacred scriptures are missing, the dragon will be resurrected.

He taught martial arts to the youth of the five villages, and set up an assembly at the top of the mountain during the autumn harvest every year, so that the young people of the five villages could compete in a competition, and the first place winner would be able to obtain the right to use the sword and bow and arrow he used to slay the dragon, for a period of one year, until the winner of the competition in the following year was determined, and the same was given the right to use it for one year, and so on year after year.

Because of the great exploits of this hero, the people of the five villages worshipped him as a god, and it was a great honor to be able to wear the sword and bow and arrow that he used.

On the other hand, the hero's sword and bow and arrow are divine weapons, if you take these two weapons into the mountains to hunt, the harvest will be several times more than others, you must know that in ancient times, the productivity was very backward, there is a body of martial arts, and then there are two good weapons, it is tantamount to adding wings to the tiger.

The purpose of the great hero's assembly is to cultivate the martial spirit of the villagers, because he knows that the five holy scriptures will be missing one day, and the dragon will definitely be resurrected one day in the future, as long as people work hard from generation to generation to integrate the martial spirit into the blood, when the dragon is resurrected, there will definitely be a hero who can kill the dragon again.

The hero's sword and bow and arrow have long been buried by the world, and there is no trace of it, but the martial spirit has been inherited in the Wulong Mountain area, and it is the martial spirit inherited by this great hero that has made the Wulong Mountain area free from the flames of several foreign invasions in Chinese history - whenever the war burns to Wulong Mountain, the mountain people all spontaneously take up arms to defend their homeland, fearless of death, and go forward one after another, so that the invaders pay an unbearable price and have to flee in the wilderness.

In order to commemorate this great hero, the mountain people of Wulong Mountain built a temple on the top of the main peak of Wulong Mountain, and the annual gathering of Wulong Mountain slowly evolved into a temple fair.

The Wulongshan temple fair has just been restored for more than ten years, and the temple has been demolished to the point that there is not even a slag left, so it is only a "meeting", and the temple fair without a "temple" is just an unworthy name.

The Five Dragons Tournament and the Five Dragons Temple Fair were not resumed at the same time, when the Five Dragons Temple Fair was revived to invigorate the economy, and as "folk customs" gradually gained attention, the Five Dragons Tournament was also resumed four years ago.

However, once the inheritance is interrupted, even if it is restored, it is impossible to restore it so perfectly, and there will inevitably be some kind of loss, as for the specific what is lost, it is up to the "experts" to verify.

At the same time as the resumption of the Five Dragons Competition, the managers of the temple fair also made an ingenious "Five Phoenix Competition" competition.

At that time, there were people of high moral standing who accused the "five phoenixes contending" as nonsense and contrary to traditional culture. In this regard, the managers of the temple fair said that the "five phoenixes contending" will become a traditional culture after a hundred years.

Regardless of whether this is reasonable or not, anyway, since the establishment of the "Five Phoenix Contention" competition, the Wulongshan Temple Fair has immediately become noisy from the cold in the courtyard, and has become a very distinctive cultural activity in the Wulongshan area, and there are even TV stations dedicated to live broadcasting.

Come to think of it, the twenty most beautiful girls selected from the five villages, not to mention singing, even if they stand on the stage, it is definitely a very beautiful scenery, even more than the audience attracted by the Five Dragons Competition.

This is the beauty effect.

Li Lanfang has been yearning for the five phoenixes since she was a child, and she has imagined countless times that she is wearing a beautiful pleated gauze skirt with long hair fluttering, and she is on a high stage in the eyes of everyone's worship, holding a microphone in her hand, dancing with the rhythm of the music, and her lark-like tactful singing makes all the audience in the audience fascinated...... In the end, he conquered the judges and all the audience, and won the golden phoenix crown - this is actually the dream of all girls.

However, it is not easy to stand out among the many beauties, in terms of figure and appearance, Li Lanfang still has some self-confidence, the problem is, this is not a simple beauty contest, it is "five phoenixes contending", the key point is on "Ming", if "Ming" can't come out, you are not a phoenix, but an old hen.

Li Lanfang's song-writing action has not been smooth in the past few days, so she has a lot of headaches, although she usually likes to sing, and she learns songs very quickly, but when it comes to writing songs, she realized that it is far from that simple.

"I really can't write it, you just put it first, it's like a sow giving birth, and when it has it in her belly, she can naturally give birth......" This is Han Tuo's suggestion to her, although this metaphor is not good, but it seems to have some truth, fortunately, there is still plenty of time, so in the past two days, Li Lanfang has completely relaxed.

In the past few days, Zhao Yunfei and Han Tuo started exercising every day without breakfast, and Han Tuo had a lot of complaints about this: "Don't you see an expert on TV who says that the most important meal every day is breakfast, and skipping breakfast is not good for your health, you are good, you are not allowed to eat breakfast, and you are still exercising so hard." ”

Li Lanfang smiled beside her: "It is better to believe in books than to have no books, and it is better to believe in experts than to have no experts." ”

Zhao Yunfei explained: "We mainly practice wrestling in the morning, if you are well fed, you are not afraid of breaking your intestines?"

"Then let's arrange the wrestling to practice in the afternoon!" Regarding Zhao Yunfei's explanation, Han Tuo was obviously dissatisfied.

Zhao Yunfei replied very simply: "It's okay to arrange it in the afternoon, then we don't have to eat lunch." ”

"I ......" Han Tuo wanted to say something, but finally held the words in his throat.

Of course, Li Lanfang is not in the ranks of restricting breakfast, she comes over every morning to bring Xiaoji to her house, and comes back after breakfast.

......

Under the green shade of the big apricot tree, Li Lanfang sat in front of the small square table, with a bag of melon seeds and a pot of tea on the table.

Han Tuo is a lazy character in his bones, and he can't stand the hardships he suffers now, just because he proposed to participate in the competition at the beginning, if he gives up halfway, he will really lose face, Zhao Yunfei never says cool words, but Li Lanfang will not let him go easily.

Besides, his big mouth, he announced it to the whole family on the night he decided to compete

For Han Tuo's family, this is a good thing, it shows that the child knows how to be motivated, and the family is of course very supportive, in case he can win an honor, even if it is the lowest level of gray dragon, it can be regarded as a glorious ancestor, with this title, it will be easier to be a daughter-in-law in the future, at least it can prove that this is a healthy and healthy guy.

In order to encourage Han Tuo, Han Tuo's father also specially asked Han Tuo's mother to stew a large pot of beef and send it to Zhao Yunfei's house to comfort them.

After a big meal, the words of regret are even more unspeakable!
