Chapter 597: Legend of the Evil Dragon

Tang Feng looked at the little girl with approving eyes, nodded, and said with a smile: "That's right, this catastrophe is aimed at this dragon, and wants to put it to death."

Among the many people present, there are many extremely smart people like Changsun Ying, but none of them have thought of this, but they were guessed by the little girl. Her brains are really incomparable to ordinary people.

Rong Guocheng led the people to start cooking over there, stretched his neck and listened to Tang Feng's words, and couldn't help but asked with some doubts: "Isn't the dragon a divine beast? Why is there a catastrophe? I only heard about those monsters who practiced." , to cross the calamity, does the dragon also have to cross the calamity?"

"It's not about crossing the catastrophe. It's just that the dragon didn't cultivate the right way, but took a crooked way. I guess, this matter has something to do with the bones in the underground river. Professor Meng has a thorough research on the Kunlun matter, so he must be able to know. Some related legends." While speaking, Tang Feng looked at Meng Qiongyun.

After experiencing what happened that night, Meng Qiongyun was still in shock, especially after knowing that the target of those people was himself, he was even more uneasy. After entering the cave, he sat in a corner with a nervous face , Meng Zhong sat beside him, comforting in a low voice.

Hearing Tang Feng asking himself, Meng Qiongyun came back to his senses, but he didn't repeat what he said before, with a bit of a blank face on his face, he asked in confusion: "Mr. Tang, what's the matter?"

Tang Feng said: "About this place, is there any legend about the evil dragon?"

"Yes!" Meng Qiongyun nodded hurriedly, and when he talked about his field of expertise, he immediately regained some energy, and continued: "There are records in the county annals of the Ming Dynasty here, which say it was thousands of years ago. , there is an evil dragon entrenched in the mountains, ordering the villagers to send boys and girls to sacrifice at the full moon of each month. If they do not follow, there will be a three-year drought, starvation and death everywhere, and the bones will be piled up. People nearby will move their families. This area is devoid of people.”

Hearing what Meng Qiongyun said, Zixuan and Changsun Ying said "Ah" in unison, with a look of sudden embarrassment in their eyes.

Tang Feng looked at the two of them and said, "What?"

Zixuan patted her head and said: "It seems that my master has also mentioned such things, but I just listened to them as stories and didn't pay attention to them. It's vague, but I can remember a little bit."

A somewhat helpless look appeared on Tang Feng's face.

If it was Zixuan, she would be able to improve her studies on weekdays, and she would be able to think about what her master said. I'm afraid she would have thought of these things a long time ago.

Sometimes, Tang Feng really didn't know why Zixuan's master chose her as his disciple when there were so many smart people in the world. Could it be that he really had no choice?

Changsun Ying also said: "I have heard about these things, but I didn't take them seriously. Now it seems that the stories told by the old people are all reasonable, but it's a pity that they have been passed down for a long time. , there will inevitably be some mistakes, and then more and more rumors will be spread, and people will no longer believe it."

He also heard about such things, but he didn't take them seriously. Changsun Ying's statement was much easier to accept than Zixuan's.

Zixuan hurriedly echoed: "That's right, that's how it is! I also heard what Master said was too mysterious, so I didn't believe it."

Changsun Ying continued: "Could it be that the cave we walked through was used to send those sacrifices back then? Before, I really couldn't figure out why it was dug out in this deserted mountain. Such a seemingly useless passage, now that I think about it, it is probably for this reason."

After hearing her words, everyone glanced into the depths of the passage, thinking of the place where they are, thousands of years ago, countless people walked by here, and countless innocent lives died. Some people couldn't help but shiver. .

Shangguan frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "However, how many people were there in the whole country at that time? Even if it was a sacrifice, there wouldn't be so many bones, right? And most of them were adults' bones. "

Ji Ning also said: "That's right, although there are minor skeletons in the underground river, there are very few of them. I hardly saw too many young children, but adult men accounted for the majority. , if we see many children, we will feel abnormal at that time."

"It's the army!" Meng Qiongyun raised his voice a little, and said excitedly, "In order to stop the evil dragon from doing evil, the local army came to attack, but the whole army was wiped out. According to legend, the officials here invited experts to launch The altar offered sacrifices to the sky, and finally moved the heavenly court, and sent down the punishment of heaven. For three consecutive days, there was continuous thunder, and from a distance, the entire Kunlun was surrounded by lightning, and the earthquake could be felt from far away."

Changsun Ying nodded her head slightly. Obviously, this statement was consistent with what she knew.

The little girl's eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "So powerful? At that time, it must have been very spectacular, right?"

If it were any other child, they would feel horrible when they heard such a situation, but the little girl felt magnificent. Tang Feng glanced at her, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, revealing a smile.

"However, although there are records in the county annals, they are just legends after all. There are many places that are not true to history. The Kunlun area is not the place where Chinese civilization originated. Thousands of years ago, there was no large population here. , At that time, the population was sparse, so how could there be a large-scale army stationed there? And this saying of praying to heaven is even more lacking in research, and it can only be used as a reference. Meng Qiongyun shook his head and added.

"Even if there are some discrepancies, they are generally correct, and I think this army may have attacked more than once." Tang Feng thought about it, "Otherwise, there is no way to explain how there are so many bones."

Xiang Chuan was a little surprised and said: "Isn't this dragon also a god? What kind of Dragon King of the Four Seas, how can he do bad things?"

Meng Qiongyun smiled and said: "Of course there are. In many fantasy novels or myths and legends in China, there are legends about slaying dragons. The most famous one is that Nezha killed the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Skinning and cramping, and the story of the Tang Dynasty, the Dragon King was asked to beheaded by a famous official who founded the country because he bet against others and failed to fulfill his duty to rain. In the final analysis, this dragon can be regarded as a demon in orthodox religious legends exist."

After hearing this, everyone nodded slightly.

Except for the little girl and Zhou Wan, they have all heard of these legends, but they just didn't think of them.
