Chapter 54: The Golden Beach Poison Dragon
Meng Wei said: "Now that three days have passed, according to the situation every year, he should lead the personnel to escort the first batch of grain back, but why is there no movement at this moment?"
Several people couldn't help but worry.
What they didn't know was that at this moment, in the north of the city, Huaizhong was in another danger.
Huaizhong led 3,000 soldiers and civilians to the north of Lejin City to harvest crops.
The wheat field is ten miles away from the north of Lejin City, and within ten miles, there are golden sand beaches.
It is not a golden sand, but a beach made of pure gold crumbs, which is full of flowers as far as the eye can see, which is also the reason why King Keliang and the five generals of Qinghuanghong, White and Black coveted Lejin City, and the allure of these beaches is too great.
Huaizhong said to the people who came with him: "The people of Lejin City live very happily, there is gold everywhere outside the city, and it can't be used up." ”
The people said, "Huai Zhuangshi laughed, this gold looks cute, but it is useless at all." ”
Huai Zhongqi said: "Aren't they real?"
"It's true, but gold, which can't be eaten by hunger or clothed by cold, is not as good as ears of wheat all over the ground. ”
Huaizhong nodded, feeling that what these people said was very reasonable.
Ten miles away, in a blink of an eye, across this golden beach, Huaizhong and 3,000 people came to the edge of the wheat field.
This kind of wheat has never been seen in Huaizhong, and it grows very strangely. Each of them is half a foot tall and majestic, and they are covered with barbs, especially those on the ears of wheat.
If it weren't for the people telling Huaizhong: "This is the wheat we eat every day." ”
Huaizhong would not believe that there was such a strange-looking grain in the world.
When Huaizhong was in Bianliang City, Tokyo, he was the captain of Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, managing the No. 1 people, and he was actually very familiar with the plan of personnel division, harvesting crops and fighting in teams between the two armies, but the general principle was completely the same, so although this wheat looked weird, it did not affect the overall arrangement of Huaizhong.
Huaizhong divided the 3,000 people into several groups according to the method of detachment during the war, and what this group did and that group did were well distributed, and everyone was convinced.
When it came time to work concretely, Huaizhong showed his weakness, that is, he was not familiar with the characteristics of this wheat, and after the others had harvested ten plants, he couldn't even cut five plants, but he had already made scaly wounds all over his body, and his body was covered with small barbed cuts.
Huaizhong is a person who is never willing to admit defeat, carefully pondering the practices of others, studying hard, and after half a day's work, he finally understands and becomes very familiar, and he is not as fast as others harvest.
Several people around him couldn't help but admire: "I didn't expect that the people sent by the Huai Zhuang Great Song Dynasty would actually understand the harvest methods of our people in Fanbang. ”
Huaizhong smiled slightly, refusing to say that he had just learned.
After noon, everyone sat down to eat, and what they ate was nothing more than dry food brought from Lejin City.
While he was sitting down to eat, he heard thunder rumbling and it was about to rain.
The people next to him said: "In the autumn of previous years, the weather was dry and cloudy, and it was rare to rain, but this year's rain fell very hard. ”
Huai has the ability to clairvoyance, the eyesight is vigorous, is ordinary people can not compare, upside down on the canopy, look in the direction of the thunder faintly, but see the position of the dark cloud cover, not only thunder and lightning erupted out, at the same time, there are two things rolling up and down, but it is two golden dragons.
The dragon causes rain and the dew turns into frost, which is a common thing in nature, but the dragon is a thing in the fairy world and will not be seen by ordinary people, so even if it rains, the dragon is hidden behind the clouds, hidden and invisible, and can only be guessed by the imagination of mortals.
However, at this time, Huaizhong actually saw a dragon, a living dragon, which was exactly the same as the image seen in the mural books.
There were two dragons, two of the same size, almost identical, tumbling up and down, shuttling between clouds and lightning.
The clouds were getting lower and lower, and the dragon was moving closer and closer, as if it were above the heads of these people.
Huaizhong said to the people, "Look, there is a dragon rolling in the sky!"
Under the guidance of Huaizhong, everyone gradually saw the appearance of the two giant dragons.
The people of Lejin City have many customs that are very different from those of the Central Plains of the Great Song Dynasty, but the similarity with the people of the Great Song Dynasty is that they also have a very strong belief in dragons. After seeing the two dragons, the 3,000 people knelt down one after another, bowed to the two dragons, prayed in their mouths, and chanted the words: Grandpa the Dragon King blesses and blesses my family with peace, blesses the wind and rain every year, and blesses the five grains abundantly.
Huaizhong didn't believe in the words of the gods' blessing, but he was not disgusted by the people's practices, he just stood aside, calmly looking at these two dragons, these two dragons were born, and it would not be nothing, just come out and wander around, maybe now, or sometime in the future, there will be extraordinary changes.
Huaizhong is very vigilant, although he does not believe that he can defeat the two mythical dragons with his own strength, but he will not regret doing everything he does.
Huaizhong was right, these two dragons were not ordinary Dragon Kings of the East China Sea and West Sea Dragon Kings, but two poisonous dragons imprisoned in the Desolate Sea.
The desolate sea is three hundred miles west of Lejin City, it is a big lake, the local area belongs to the inland, there is this big lake has felt very broad, so it is called the sea, and because this sea has a lot of minerals, and the nutrients for plant growth are obviously insufficient, it can almost be called a single inch of grass, so the local people call it the desolate sea.
Two hundred and sixty years ago, there were two poisonous dragons that were wreaking havoc and specialized in cannibalism, and the local people, including Le Jincheng, hated them but were helpless.
When the local people were being mutilated and eaten by these two poisonous dragons, causing their families to be ruined and preparing to leave their hometowns, a wandering Taoist suddenly came, subdued these two poisonous dragons, imprisoned them in the water prison in the center of the desolate sea, and put Taoist spirit talismans in the town above.
Since then, the two poisonous dragons no longer harm the world, and the surrounding people have lived and worked in peace and contentment again.
Now, nearly 300 years later, the events of that time have become vague legends, and few people regard the legends left by their ancestors as true.
They don't know that the legends of their ancestors, what they still hear in their ears, are all real events that have happened, and that wandering Taoist is still alive today, that is, Mr. Tongzhen Daling in the capital, plus Mr. Yuan Miao, Jinmen Yuke, and Chong Hezi, the master of Taoist Lin Lingsu, who is admired by Song Huizong.
And these two poisonous dragons came out again to harm people, not because Chong Hezi's spell was ineffective, but because King Ke Liang also knew about the poisonous dragon of the Desolate Sea, and sent his General Huang to the Desolate Sea to set off the rune suppressed on the water prison, and the two poisonous dragons were able to regain the clouds and mist, appear in the world, and appear in front of the people.
They have been imprisoned for two hundred and sixty years, and their violent and ferocious spirit has not changed at all, on the contrary, because they have not been able to eat meat for a long time, they are now seeing more than 3,000 people harvesting crops here, all of them sweating and very tired, and it is a good opportunity to start.
The two dragons rolled around, each spotting a fat man, one on the left and one on the right, galloping towards the two fat men.
Just like two golden lightning bolts, everyone only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and the two fat men had been bitten by two giant dragons and taken to the sky.
There were two screams from the sky in an instant, and the clothes, shoes and socks of the two fat men were thrown down, but there was nothing left of the flesh and bones, and they were eaten by the two dragons.
It happened too suddenly, and the tragedy was seen in Bian Huaizhong, but he had no power to fight back, so he could only let the two people suffer from this massacre.
When he came, in addition to the swords and sickles used to harvest the crops, Huaizhong also carried weapons, and swords and bows and arrows were hung on the carts on the ground.
Huaizhong ran to the side of the cart as fast as he could, and at the same time threw two arrows on his bow, and the two arrows fired at the same time, thinking that he could shoot the two dragons down and avenge the two people.
But how could it be so easy, two arrows shot into the sky, and the two dragons, one on the left and one on the right, each took a sharp arrow in their mouths with their big mouths, and put all the sharp arrows into their mouths, chewing and crushing, and the sound of squeaking and chewing was heard clearly and clearly.
Huaizhong was not convinced, and shot two more arrows, this time to prevent the dragon from devouring, and the two arrows were shot at the most tender belly of the dragon, thinking that even if the dragon was not shot to death, they would be left with injuries, and they would no longer dare to easily harm the people.
This time the result was not bad, and both arrows were hit.
The two dragons were both arrows in the abdomen, and Huaizhong was extremely powerful, and both arrows were submerged in the abdomen, leaving only two feathers outside.
Two streams of blood spurted out of the bellies of the two dragons, like a rain of blood.
After two earth-shattering screams, the two dragons finally fled.
And where their blood fell in the wheat field, the grain was scorched, and the smell of wheat ripeness was emitted.
Huaizhong was very vigilant, and said to everyone: "Where the dragon's blood flows, don't touch it, let alone rush over to harvest." ”
The people took the command.
Huaizhong said again: "The two dragons don't know what their origin is?"
Everyone was silent, and one of the older men told the legend of the dragon, but he was too vague to explain.
"No matter what, we should be prepared to prevent them from coming back," Huaizhong said. In this way, in order to prevent a shortage of food in the city, we first had to have some people carry the grain carts back to the city. And I continued to lead the people in harvesting the remaining grain. ”
