Chapter 1226 Walking Dragon
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately thought of Mr. Wu who had his stomach emptied out and died tragically.
"Could it be that... the threshold is built so high to prevent that kind of thing from coming to the door?" Ding Zhenzong squatted down and looked at the threshold carefully, frowning heavily, "But this doesn't make sense. The threshold looks like it has been used for a long time and is not new. Yes, you can’t say that Mr. Wu expected such a disaster many years ago.”
According to Luo Tianhe's previous speculation, it would not take long for the things from the blood corpse tombs to enter the mansion.
"Then it depends on Mr. Wu, or whether the Wu family boss has done something bad behind his back?" Yao Shunyu's voice gave people a cold feeling as he squinted his eyes.
To Fatty's surprise, Jiang Cheng stood up and looked at everyone, "I think what Yao and Shunyu said makes sense, otherwise I don't understand why the Wu family would keep such evil things at home."
They stayed at the Wu family gate for too long. In order to avoid arousing suspicion and getting burned, everyone tacitly pretended that nothing happened and left naturally.
The Wu Mansion is in an excellent location. There is a street not far from the door. Judging from the flow of people on this street and the scale of the nearby buildings, it should be the most prosperous place in the town.
Everyone casually found a tea stall to rest, chose a remote location, and discussed in low voices what to do next.
It was already early, and there was not much business at the tea stall. The only fat waiter was also lazy, with droopy triangular eyes, looking like he couldn't wake up. He also yawned from time to time and didn't like to talk to others.
But everything came to an abrupt end after taking out a silver dollar from Jiangcheng.
"A few of us came from Shanghai to visit friends. We passed by Guibao Land and found that the scenery here is quite good. We plan to stay for a few days. We also hope that my little brother can tell us about the customs and customs here."
Jiang Cheng's words were polite, but the fat boy only had silver dollars in his eyes. He hurriedly cheered up and said, "Your Majesty, you are asking the right person. My ancestors lived in Wolong Town eighteen generations ago. I mean, Sir, you are really talented." In terms of vision, our Wolong Town is a geomantic treasure, with water in the front and mountains in the back. The scenery is unparalleled. "
Yuan Shanyuan picked up the tea cup and did not drink it. He just lowered his head and gently blew away the water mist on the tea. Then he smiled and said: "Wolong Town, what a good name."
The fat guy showed a proud smile, "That's right, this name has its origins. It is said that many years ago, there was a heavy rain. It rained continuously for three days. Dark clouds covered the sun. The river rose and broke the embankment. The waves were so big that it was scary. , someone saw a huge shadow in the center of the river from a distance. It was moving very fast. Compared with the trees floating on the water, it was at least twenty meters long. From the body shape, it looked like... a big snake.
"Walk dragon?" Luo Tianhe frowned.
"This guest officer is very knowledgeable. There happened to be an expert passing by in the town at that time, and he said the same thing." The fat guy replied politely.
People in Jiangcheng have also heard about the saying about walking dragons. There is a popular saying among the people that "big dragons walking along the river will turn into dragons when they enter the sea." This means that the "floods" will take advantage of heavy rains and the river water to rise along the river and enter the sea. As long as they succeed, they can turn into dragons. .
"At that time, there were thunders everywhere in the sky, which shocked people's ears. The lightning struck one after another around the huge shadow in the water. But that big guy seemed to have a special spirituality. Whenever the lightning was about to crack, When it hits, there will be some other things to block it." The man's voice became weird, "They are some big fish that are ten feet long, and there are also old turtles that are bigger than a millstone."
"They surrounded the big guy and followed it through the waves. The fishermen who grew up by the water were also frightened. They didn't expect that there were such big snakehead fish and old turtles in the river."
"In the end, an old fisherman who had been crawling around the water all his life revealed the mystery. He said that these things are all done in a certain way. They are spirits that have lived for countless years. They just don't come out at ordinary times and lurk in the deepest and darkest places. At the bottom of the river, this time when the dragon entered the sea, they all came out to block the catastrophe for this giant dragon and help it transform into a dragon. "
The boy took a pass here and then said nothing more. He just stared greedily at the silver dollar in Jiang Cheng's hand.
The fat man was extremely impatient. He hated hearing half-stories. He suspected that the waiter at the tea stall was a storyteller in a teahouse before. He told half the stories and kept the other half. There was nothing wrong with that.
After getting the silver dollar as he wished, the fat boy hurriedly pinched it with his two fingernails, and then he didn't shy away from it. He blew on the edge of the silver dollar in front of everyone, and then immediately put it to his ear and listened. After the buzzing sound of desire, my mouth was so happy that I couldn't close it together.
In the end, the fat man patted the table and glared at him before the clerk put away the silver dollars.
"Then, will this dragon be successful in the end?"
Hearing this, the man sighed and shook his head, "It's a coincidence. As long as you leave the mouth of the river, you will reach the big river. The river there is wide and the water is deep, and even thunder from the sky can't do anything to it."
"But it is not as good as God. At the last moment, who knew that the river would change its course, and the dragon would swim all the way to the mountain stream, where it was a dead end."
"That night, there were countless thunderstorms in the mountain stream, which illuminated half of the sky. There are rumors that some people heard roaring sounds."
"Anyway, it cleared up the next day and the floods receded. Everyone was saying that the dragon was choked to death in the mountain stream. This is the origin of the so-called Wolong Town."
The fat man smacked his mouth, thinking that being educated is good. If he were to name the same story, it would most likely be Death Dragon Town or something, which would sound more realistic.
"And then, has anything strange happened in the mountain?" In the mission world, everyone is very sensitive to strange events or legends, and you never know if you can find some clues from them.
"I haven't heard of anything strange, but it's true that the Feng Shui of that mountain is good. The mountain is especially rich in rare medicinal herbs. The biggest industry in our Wolong Town is medicinal herbs. Many merchants from far away only recognize our Wolong Town as a brand."
"You must have heard of the Wu family, the largest medicine dealer in our Wolong Town. His business is very good. Although the Wu family is very low-key and doesn't like to show up, the master of the Wu family is famous for his charity."
Speaking of this, the fat guy who was originally beaming with joy suddenly paused, then sighed softly, and his tone became sad, "It's a pity that good people don't live long. The master of the Wu family... He passed away a few days ago. It's a pity. When my wife was sick, it was the Wu family who donated the medicinal herbs. They saw that I couldn't afford the medicine, so they sent someone to deliver it to me. My wife was pregnant at the time. I will never forget this kindness in my life."
