Chapter Sixty-Six: Scope, Dragons

When everyone had had enough of frolicking, they discussed with each other where to go and how to carry out the expansion of the power that the master had commanded to be used to arrange the life and residence of the growing number of monks from outside.

According to the method of Shizun Yaoyao, that is, the hundreds of millions of miles around Penglai Immortal Island are divided into the sphere of influence of Penglai Immortal Island, and the previous ban on sealing the island has now been flexibly expanded by Long Jiu and others, and the size of the ban has been flexibly expanded by a hundred fold, turning the forbidden island order into a range of hundreds of millions of miles centered on the ban on Penglai Immortal Island, and anything in this is owned by Penglai Immortal Island, and no non-Penglai Island forces are allowed to enter this range.

Otherwise, it is equivalent to provoking the authority of Penglai Xiandao, and anyone or force who deliberately provokes the authority of Penglai Xiandao will be hit by Penglai Xiandao's iron and blood, even if it cannot be completely extinct, the person or force that provokes the authority of Penglai Xiandao will also have a devastating blow to it, so that it will not be able to turn over.

The nine people will each be responsible for one direction, expanding the distance of hundreds of millions of miles, whether it is the ocean or the island, all belong to the property of Penglai Immortal Island, so that the task of Xuanyi Tiger, Lynch, Wu Mei, and Pickle, who are responsible for the expansion of the western half of Penglai Immortal Island, is much more difficult than the other five!

This is because the Dragon Clan, most of the East China Sea, is under the rule of the Dragon Clan's forces, so Xuanyi Tiger, Lynch, Wu Mei, and Tsubashi may encounter the obstacles of the Dragon Clan's monks.

Although the location of Penglai Immortal Island is not within the scope of the East China Sea, and the distance from the range circle of the East China Sea is still more than 300 million miles away, and the distance from the East China Sea Dragon Palace is still more than 4 billion miles away, it cannot threaten the danger of the base camp of the East China Sea Dragon Clan at all, but the threat does not mean that it cannot be threatened.

Although at that time, when the ancestor of the dragon clan was preaching freely, he had issued a ban on his subordinates and children and grandchildren, and he was not allowed to be disrespectful to Penglai Immortal Island, but that was tens of millions of years ago, although the ban was issued, but because Zulong guessed that the cultivation of Xiaoyao Tianzun at that time might be the quasi-saint period, and his own cultivation was only the cultivation of the Daluo period, so he couldn't afford to provoke Xiaoyao.

It's been tens of millions of years, and I haven't seen it, and the Xiaoyao Tianzun who used to preach has appeared, so this ban on disrespect for Penglai Xiandao has become a blank slate, and few people can still remember it. Besides, the main energy of the dragon clan is mainly on the road of the flood wilderness, and the dragon clan can't control the other sea areas in the East China Sea, so they occupy the sea areas around the flood continent and within 10 billion miles as their own sphere of influence, and divide them into the East China Sea, the West Sea, the South China Sea, and the North Sea.

The dragon clan is extremely domineering, and most of the monks who entered its sphere of influence through abnormal ways were savagely killed, and the few who survived were all young and beautiful female monks, all of whom were used as tools for the dragon clan to give birth to offspring! Moreover, the dragon clan has gradually evolved a lot of non-pure dragons with dragon bloodline through continuous hybridization with female monks of other races, which are pseudo-dragons, also known as dragon-like clans.

It is a hypocritical pseudo, similar class, because of the good * of the dragon family, so a large number of non-pure dragon families were born, the so-called dragon born nine sons means that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the nine sons did not become dragons, each different. The dragon gave birth to nine sons, not that the dragon happened to give birth to nine sons, but refers to the nine representative pseudo-dragon clans with dragon blood.

Speaking of the fact that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, later generations used the shape and character of these nine sons to represent a custom or symbol according to the mythological stories in the legends.

For example: One of the Nine Sons of the Dragon, Prison Cow (qiúniú)

The prisoner cow is the eldest of the nine sons of the dragon, the shape of the yellow dragon with scales and horns, this dragon with musical cells, not only stands on the Huqin of the Han nationality, but also has its image of raising its head and opening its mouth on the dragon head Yueqin of the Yi nationality, the three-stringed instrument of the Bai nationality and some musical instruments of the Tibetan nationality. This decoration has been used today, and some valuable huqin heads are still engraved with the image of a dragon head, called "dragon head huqin".

靚眦 (yázì)

Jair, looks like a jackal, is the second, is aggressive and killing, often carved on the hilt scabbard. The original meaning of Jairus is to look at it angrily, the so-called "the virtue of a meal must be repaid, and the grievances of Jairus must be repaid". The retribution is inevitably murderous, so it is natural for this jackal-like dragon to appear on the scabbard of the hilt. These weapons adorn the image of a dragon and add to the intimidating power. It is not only decorated on the weapons of famous generals on the battlefield, but also used in a large number on the weapons of honor guards and palace guards, so as to appear more majestic and solemn.

Dragon Born Nine Sons No. 3 Mocking Wind (cháofēng)

Mocking the wind, resembling a beast, is the third child, life is dangerous and hopeful, and the beast on the corner of the temple is its posthumous image. The beasts are led by a "fairy" who rides a bird, followed by a dragon, a phoenix, a lion, a heavenly horse, a seahorse, a sinister, a fish, a pig, a bullfighter, and a walk. They were placed in a strict hierarchy, with only the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City in Beijing being able to do all of them, and the secondary halls were reduced accordingly. Mocking the wind not only symbolizes auspiciousness, beauty and majesty, but also has the meaning of deterring demons and clearing disasters. The placement of the mocking wind makes the shape of the whole palace both strict and full of changes, to achieve the harmony of solemnity and vividness, the unity of grandeur and exquisiteness, and it adds a layer of mysterious atmosphere to the towering palace.

The fourth of the nine sons of the dragon (púláo)

Pu Lao, shaped like a coiled dragon, ranked fourth, good roar in life, the dragon-shaped beast button on the bell is its posthumous image. It turns out that Pu Lao lives by the sea, and although he is a dragon, he has always been afraid of giant whales. As soon as the whale attacks, it growls in fear. People report that it has the characteristics of "good sex", "where the bell wants to make the sound loud", that is, the pu gao is cast as a bell button, and the wooden pestle that rings the bell is made into the shape of a whale. When the bell is struck, let the whale hit Pu Lao again and again, so that it "rings into the sky" and "sings alone".

The fifth of the nine sons of the dragon (suānní)

Foxy, originally another name for the lion, ranked fifth, likes to be quiet and does not like to move, good fireworks, and good to sit. Its demeanor can be seen on the Buddha seat and incense burner in the temple. The lion, an animal that even tigers and leopards dare to eat, and has a very lofty appearance, was introduced to China with Buddhism. Since the Buddha Shakyamuni had the metaphor of "fearless lion", people naturally arranged it as the seat of the Buddha, or carved it on the incense burner for him to enjoy the incense. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the dragon-shaped ornament in the middle of the collar under the neck of the stone lion or bronze lion is also the image of the fox, which makes the traditional Chinese door lion guarding the gate more open and mighty.

Dragon Birth Nine Sons No. 6 Baxia (bāxià)

Baxia, also known as 赑屃 (bìxì), resembles a turtle, is the sixth old, has a good load in his life, and has infinite strength, and the turtle under the stele is his posthumous image. Legend has it that in ancient times, Baxia often carried three mountains and five mountains, making waves in the rivers, lakes and seas. Later, Dayu subdued it when he controlled the water, and it obeyed Dayu's command, pushed the mountain and dug ditches, dredged all over the river, and made a contribution to water control. The flood was subdued, and Dayu was worried that the Baxia would scatter wild everywhere, so he moved the extra-large stone tablet that stood up to the sky, and engraved the deeds of the Baxia to control the water, and called the Baxia to carry it, and the heavy stone tablet pressed it so that it could not walk casually. Baxia and turtles are very similar, but there are differences when you look closely, Baxia has a row of teeth, while turtles do not, and there are also differences in the number and shape of the carapace on the dorsal armor of Baxia and turtles. Baxia, also known as the stone turtle, is a symbol of longevity and auspiciousness. It always struggled to move forward with its head held high, and its four legs were desperately supported, struggling to move forward, but it could not move its steps. The pedestal of some prominent stone monuments in our country is carried by the Baxia, and can be seen in the stele forest and some historical sites.

龙生九子之七·狴犴 (bì'àn)

The raccoon, also known as the charter, resembles a tiger and is the seventh oldest. It is a litigious but powerful man, and the tiger-shaped decoration on the upper part of the prison door is its posthumous image. Legend has it that the fox is not only anxious for justice and righteousness, but also can distinguish between right and wrong, and judge impartially, coupled with its majestic image, in addition to decorating the prison door, it also crouches on both sides of the lobby of the official office. Whenever the chief of the yamen sits in the court, the top end of the chief executive's title plate and the solemn recusal card has its image, and it is eyeing the tiger, inspecting and watching, and maintaining the solemn and righteous atmosphere of the public court.

龙生九子之八·失屃(fùxì)

Negative tuan, like a dragon, ranking eighth, good writing, the dragon on both sides of the stele is its remains. The history of the stele in our country is long, the content is rich, some of them are simple in shape, the stele body is smooth, bright, and the light can be appreciative; some of them are exquisitely carved, the words have a posture, and the pen is vivid; there are also the famous poems and texts carved in stone, and the moxibustion population is praised through the ages. And the negative is very fond of this kind of inscription that shines with artistic brilliance, and it is willing to turn into a pattern Wenlong to set off these heirloom treasures, and decorate the stele base to be more elegant and beautiful. They coiled around each other, and they seemed to be slowly wriggling, and they matched with the dominance of the base, which made it even more spectacular. In the ancestral hall of the temple, people can see this hard-working strong man everywhere. It is said that touching it brings blessings.

Dragon Born Nine Sons of the Nine Sons of the Nine Sons of the Dragon (chīwěn)

The mantle is water-based, and it is used as a thing to ward off evil spirits to avoid fire. Shaped like a four-legged snake with its tail cut off, this dragon is fortunate to look around in dangerous places, and also likes to swallow fire. Legend has it that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the Bailiang Palace, some people said that there is a kind of fish in the sea, the tail is like an owl, that is, the harrier eagle, can spray waves and rain, can be used to dispel fire, so it is shaped on the corner of the palace, the ridge of the palace, the roof.

Of course, these are all made up by people, and the real Long Jiuzi is still different from the above humanistic fabrication!

However, it is said that the vast sea beyond the four seas is in the outer sea, which is 10 billion miles away from the Honghuang Continent, that is, the general name of the sea areas other than the four seas, which is named by the dragon clan as the extraterritorial Canghai, which is a metaphor for the sea outside the four seas, which is the sea outside the territory, and the sea outside the territory is still boundless and cannot find a head, so the sea is used as a metaphor for its infinity.

The seas beyond the four seas are collectively called extraterritorial seas by the dragons. For the affairs of the extraterritorial sea, the dragon clan can't control it, and they don't have so much energy to take care of it, so they just let it go with the flow. Therefore, for the expansion of Penglai Immortal Island to the east, south, and north, there is no need to care about the attitude and feelings of the dragon clan.

But to the west, you can't ignore the feelings of the dragon clan! Because the dragon clan's base camp, the East China Sea Dragon Palace, is located in the East China Sea. And the sphere of influence of Penglai Immortal Island, if it expands to the west, it will definitely be troubled by the dragon clan. After all, the ban on disrespect for Penglai Immortal Island issued by Zulong is now in name only, and the descendants of the dragon clan no longer remember this ban, and the older generation of dragon clans can't remember this ban if they don't mention it.

But the ban is not known or remembered, but always beware of Penglai Xiandao such an order, but it has not been forgotten, after all, Penglai Xiandao also belongs to a major force, Zu Long's idea at the time was that if you can not provoke, you will not be provoked, but you still have to arrange heavy troops to defend, not afraid of 10,000 in case! No one can say what will happen in the future, prepare in advance, and finally be prepared.

Therefore, it will be difficult for Penglai Xiandao's power to expand westward. Everyone had to discuss how to deploy troops and deploy troops reasonably to prevent emergencies from occurring, so everyone discussed how to deal with the follow-up things on the big island outside the Penglai Foreign Affairs Office of Takeshi.

Therefore, everyone used their own magical powers, the magic weapon of the imperial envoy, the magic weapon of the clouds, and the flying of the volley, soaring in the sky together, and flying towards the big island in the outer sea of the Penglai Foreign Affairs Office.
