Old Fogey Goes Down The Mountain

After carefully analyzing the passenger flow in each exhibition area of ​​the zoo, and confirming that the number of newly opened aquarium venues ranks last in the entire park exhibition area.

Qinglong is not going to do it anymore. It originally thought that there was only the glib panda on its head, but who knows what Longhu Mountain and Monkey Mountain are after the Panda Pavilion, the giraffe exhibition area below, the small koala park, etc. Tourists are much more interested than aquariums.

During the analysis of Lianyiyi, it also mentioned an even worse reality: "These animals are not only popular, they are also foreigners! Nowadays, animals of our own nationality are not easy to mix. There is no way, whoever calls the foreign monks can chant scriptures Woolen cloth."

Qinglong was furious—the inheritance he received when Jackie Chan did teach him that as a belief in this land, he should have a sense of intimacy with the creatures of this land, but he had no idea about this before, otherwise he would not No matter what, he insisted on spending millions of lives to complete his entry into the sea.

But at this moment, it finally truly understood what this intimacy represented, and the self-esteem that was smashed by Wei Xi after Jackie Chan finally rekindled a raging flame.

Qinglong roared at the priests: "It's unreasonable! I am a huge country, and it has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. How can I let these foreign livestock compare?! As a national totem, I will never allow it!"

Taoists: "..."

The Taoists felt that they should be happy. After all, this green dragon who seemed to have no idea of ​​his responsibilities before finally realized his identity, and seemed to want to take on the responsibilities he should have borne for this land.

But they really can't cheer up—wake up!Who told you that this is your responsibility!

Qinglong didn't care so much, he slid aggressively with red eyes and got into the aquarium exhibition area.

******

Forest Zoo has invested a lot in this aquarium. Many marine animals have been placed in the huge aquatic area. Although these marine animals are not enlightened, the cognition deeply buried in their bones and blood cannot be erased. Instinctively knowing that the new resident who came was his boss, everyone was trembling and trembling with fear.

Qinglong cruised around in the sea water, and found that the sea water here was indeed clearer and cleaner than the waters in his own Dragon Palace, the ecological environment in the water was also good, and the living environment was quite satisfactory. The sailor gave orders: "Come here, all of you!"

The director of the garden outside the exhibition hall watched those aquatic animals that used to ignore each other and swam towards the arrogant water snake on the reef. Adapted to salt water, but it won't be bullied, right? Although these newly introduced marine animals have good tempers and are willing to get close to people, they might use it as feed."

Little did he know that inside the thick walls of the glass tank, the sea animals he said were "good-natured" and "willing to be close to people" had already begun to give advice to his seemingly tough boss with high spirits. Longing has always been straightforward, and it’s just a few words——

"Get out! Get out!"

"Snatch all the breeder's little fish!"

"Overthrow the human regime!"

"Roll, roll, roll!" Qinglong raised the tip of his tail and slapped each of them one by one, and hit the head of the sea turtle that yelled most clearly, "Whoever loves the broken ocean environment will return. And you, overthrow the human race!" Regime, you have a big heart, you, what's going on, don't you think the aquarium is not deserted enough?"

While talking, Qinglong glanced at Wei Xi outside the exhibition area with a guilty conscience, to overthrow the regime... What a fart, let’s not talk about the elder who would kill him with a dragon wringer if he disagreed with him, what about its opposite angle? Even now I still have lingering fears.

The big turtle that had lived for decades was beaten into a dazed state—the boss with astonishing strength didn't seem to be here to lead him to rebel?

Qinglong snorted coldly: "In the new era of socialism, there is no future for rebellion. I am the dragon king of the aquarium, and I am here to lead you to revive the glory of my aquarium!"

This exciting speech immediately caused the fish and shrimp present to scream excitedly: "Long live the king! Long live! Long live!"

Qinglong glanced sharply at the huge sea turtle, and also realized that this younger brother seemed to be the oldest, so he decided to carry forward the fine traditions of the Dragon Clan: "From today onwards, you are my Prime Minister Turtle!"

The big turtle was so excited that its shell trembled: "So it's His Majesty the Dragon King! Your Majesty doesn't know that the last prime minister next to the Dragon King is the elder of the subordinate group!"

Qinglong didn't expect the relationship between the two sides to have such a relationship, and he showed satisfaction: "Not bad."

The new official, the first Prime Minister of the Socialist Era, took office, and he couldn't restrain his excitement. He was eager to try the goal of revitalizing the aquarium mentioned by the Dragon King, and was full of expectations: "Then, your majesty, where should we start first? Your majesty, please issue Order!"

******

Mr. Gu reported the news of Qinglong's presence to the higher-level leaders in the capital early in the morning when he entered Haishi City.

After getting the video data he sent back from Ruhai City, there is no need to describe the importance attached to it by various units in the capital. I don’t know how many years old leaders who are over half a century old were so excited that they couldn’t even sleep well. , I'm afraid they had already left the day before.

Everyone wanted to hold a vigorous welcome ceremony, but unfortunately for the sake of social stability, they could only handle it as low-key as possible.

Several dark black commercial vehicles galloped on the road at high speed, and the leaders who had seen all the sails in the vehicles showed a little nervousness in their eyes. timid--

"...It's really unbelievable. If I hadn't repeatedly confirmed that Xiao Gu's video has no traces of forgery, I would never have believed such an unbelievable thing."

"Qinglong... if the news is leaked out, I don't know how much social unrest it will cause."

Someone looked around at the densely packed passenger flow outside the forest zoo, with a worried expression on his face: "Yes, Xiao Gu's decision to place Qinglong in this kind of place is still too reckless."

"More people are not only prone to problems, but more importantly, it will also have a great impact on Qinglong's living environment."

"After all, it's a dragon, and it's too disrespectful to live here."

Everyone's voice fell to the ground, and they realized that something was wrong. They turned their heads and found that Mr. Gu had already stood silently to greet him.

The leaders felt a little embarrassed when they spoke ill of their subordinates face to face, and went up to greet him: "Little Gu, you have worked hard this time. The process of blocking Qinglong from entering the sea must have been thrilling and difficult, right?"

Mr. Gu suddenly thought of the mineral water bottle: "...not bad."

The leaders thought that this subordinate was quite modest, and they followed him towards the destination, feeling nervous again: "How does Qinglong adapt to the environment of the zoo?"

Mr. Gu was silent again, and after a long time, he replied with a strange expression: "It's pretty good."

The leaders looked around at the beautiful environment in the forest zoo, and nodded reassuringly. For such a large-scale zoo, the qualifications of the aquarium must not be bad. At this time, they glanced at the crowds of people in front of the aquarium, and couldn't help being stunned: "Why are there so many people? Didn't you hear that the aquarium in the Forest Zoo just opened and the traffic is average?"

Mr. Gu hesitated even more: "...There is a reason for this..."

The leader didn't finish listening to his explanation, so he suggested a little uneasy: "I didn't expect it to be so lively, I think we should build the secret ocean center as soon as possible, and we can't let Qinglong live in this worldly atmosphere. place."

These words were immediately echoed in agreement: "Yes, according to the legend, the dragons are very arrogant and perverse, not to mention that according to Xiao Gu's report, this dragon is currently not close to human society, and its temper is not very good. Wouldn't like to be visited by people coming and going every day."

When Mr. Gu heard this, he couldn't help interrupting them: "...Leaders, I think you are probably worrying too much."

The leaders were taken aback for a moment, and were about to ask him what he meant when they heard a laughing conversation from a tourist——

"Hurry up, watch Weibo for real-time updates, let's check in before leaving!"

"The aquarium in this zoo is so fun! I heard that the newly introduced water snake will ride a turtle and take pictures with tourists!"

The couple happily squeezed into the crowd while talking, leaving behind many well-dressed leaders outside the venue: "..."

At the beginning, some leaders felt that something was wrong: "...the water snake that was just introduced today?"

Mr. Gu looked up at the distant sky in their silence, and felt very tired.

After a while, he managed to pull out an awkward smile: "...Qinglong is rehearsing the program, do you want the leaders to take a look?"

***********

In the aquarium, the number of tourists has increased several times, and they are all holding their mobile phones facing the aquarium wall with piercing eyes.In the exhibition area ahead, which was rated as extremely boring by visitors when it first opened, a wonderful scene is being staged.

Contrary to the previous state of swimming around on their own and ignoring people, countless marine creatures gather together behind the glass wall, leaving a piece of water in the middle, which is quite like the stars holding the moon.

A huge sea turtle is swimming lazily among them, not in a very high mood, but it is not the protagonist, but the water snake with its body coiled on its back is.

That water snake looks very interesting, its head is bigger than ordinary water snakes, its eyes are piercing, majestic, its scales are shiny, and it can even reflect a faint glimmer of light. Combined with its straight body and sharp eyesight, it is amazing. People feel an indescribable majesty of the emperor.

An open space was divided in front of the exhibition area. At this time, the last wave of people left, and the people who lined up behind hurriedly squeezed in: "It's my turn, it's my turn!"

The two stood in the open space, and immediately raised their arms high to show a huge heart.

The water snake's eyes moved slightly, and when it saw their movements, it turned its head, and the turtle under it obediently turned around and swam towards the clearing.

Swimming to the top of the pair of passengers, the coiled water snake finally moved. It moved dexterously, raised its tail, and slowly approached the top of its own head. Comparing their hearts cooperatively.

At that moment, there was thunderous applause on the scene, and everyone was touched, and fell into a sea of ​​joy.

The leaders who came to worship the legendary Lord Qinglong stood behind the crowd in awe: "........."

Wei Xi nodded, but finally started to look at this seemingly useless green dragon with admiration. He raised his hand and patted the shoulder of Zhi Lixuan who was in a daze: "Congratulations to the head of the garden, you have hired another excellent employee."

*************

The leaders' expressions were relatively blank. After clearing the venue, they gathered around the aquarium. When Qinglong rode the turtle out of the water, he still didn't forget to teach the new prime minister that he didn't seem to have much enthusiasm for work: "You seem to be dissatisfied with my order?"

Turtle: "..."

Sea Turtle: "...Your Majesty said to revive our aquarium glory, is that what you mean just now?"

Qinglong thought of the passenger flow in the aquarium that was comparable to that of the Panda House, and snorted softly: "Is the effect very obvious?"

Turtle: "..."

This majesty is not what it imagined, is it too late to resign now?

Qinglong left the water, and because there were no outsiders, he finally transformed into his original appearance, floating in mid-air majestically.

It shook its head and tail, and asked in a serious tone: "Who is here?"

It is so incarnate, even without horns, it is very scary, and the leaders who were dizzy by its performance just now realized its extraordinary identity again, and their attitudes became more cautious.

In any case, this is a totem that represents the nation, and it is also a powerful beast that can summon wind and rain in countless classic records throughout the ages.

Immediately, someone came forward to communicate with it politely: "Master Qinglong, you are willing to give up entering the sea, which is really admirable to us. We are the representatives organized by the human culture department to meet with you, and we are here to care about your daily needs. You I have a special status, I have just come into the world, and I am afraid that I am not used to life in the world, so if you have anything you need, please feel free to ask us."

It is said to be caring, but it is actually to appease it.The divine beast was born, and it is such an extraordinary species of significance to the land. If it fails, the world will have to be messed up by it. Only by stabilizing it can society be guaranteed not to be affected.

When Qinglong heard this, he was really very concerned, and asked loudly: "Really!"

It seems that he really has something that he really wants. The leaders on the scene were shocked when they heard this. They looked calm as usual, but their foreheads were sweating nervously: "Of course."

This time Qinglong simply landed directly from mid-air, directly in front of the crowd, pressing every step of the way: "Can you ask for anything?!"

Everyone looked at each other with tense expressions. After all, it is not the old society anymore. Human beings worship totems, but that is just the emotional pursuit brought about by traditional culture.You must know that the other party had almost threatened the lives of millions of people in the city for entering the sea for him before this. No one dared to take it for granted that this dragon would be of one mind with humans, and even they themselves were in awe. Mixed with all kinds of unexplainable vigilance.

What will it ask for?

Before coming here, various departments held an emergency meeting, and the result of the discussion was to "try their best" to meet the other party's requirements.

But this "as much as possible" speed is not without a bottom line. Worldly things such as gold, silver, jewelry, luxury houses and famous cars are easy to talk about. I'm afraid that the other party will open their mouths and ask for something they can't give.

The hearts of the leaders slowly sank. They had read many credible ancient books before, and several of them recorded the sacrifices that the dragons had hundreds of millions of years ago. It is undoubtedly a living thing.

Pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep also said that it is not uncommon to enshrine delicate children and women.

The leaders lowered their eyes. Apart from them, there were also a group of secretly armed troops who came to the forest zoo this time.While evacuating the crowd in the aquarium just now, other tourists in the forest zoo have also been evacuated urgently. At this point, no matter how unwilling they are, they can only be prepared to use force if they fail to agree with each other.

The old leader who took the lead showed a calm smile on his face: "Of course, you can just mention it. We will do our best to do it for you."

Qinglong's huge eyes scanned between them suspiciously. After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke with satisfaction: "Okay! First!"

Countless hearts at the scene tightened suddenly following its sound.

In the next second, I heard the second half of its words follow: "I want you to allocate funds to buy hot searches for me regularly!"

leaders:"……"

leaders:"???"

Leaders: "...what did you say?"

Qinglong stared, feeling a little annoyed: "Isn't it okay to say anything? Does this mean you're going back on your word?"

The leaders asked incredulously: "...No, you, what are you buying hot searches for?"

Qinglong said confidently: "Xiaotuan said, they bought Taicang Zong on time every week when they first opened. Although the price is expensive, the popularity has grown very fast, and the business of the haunted house is getting better and better. You haven't seen this aquarium. How empty it was before, how can we let people know how powerful our aquarium is without publicity? How can we compete for the ACE of the zoo if we are not popular enough? And myself, Xiaotuan is right, the inheritance of the dragon clan has been broken for more than 100 years. How many believers pay homage to me? If you don’t promote it, you might die someday.”

leaders:"……"

The leaders opened their mouths, feeling as if they had grasped the point, and asked weakly: "...Dare to ask Xiaotuan and Taicangzong...?"

Mr. Gu turned his head to look into the distance when Qinglong spoke just now, now he turned his head numbly, and gestured to Wei Xi who was beside him: "This is the Taoist chief of the Taicang sect, and Mr. Tuan is his eldest disciple. , Chief Wei Dao has contributed a lot in this operation."

Wei Xi nodded to the big leaders who looked over, his expression unchanged: "I'm laughing at some superficial business opinions."

"..." After a moment of silence, the leaders still chose to turn their eyes away from the hero, "...this condition should be fine."

Qinglong hurriedly said: "Don't think that this is enough. I was stopped by you from entering the sea and brought to the capital. I gave up so much. How can I pay back with just a few popular searches."

The tension that the leaders had dropped back slowly began to grow again: "What else?"

Qinglong's attitude became more serious: "Let me ask you, as Qinglong, I am guarding one side, so do I have any weight in speaking about your country's major affairs?"

The leaders immediately quieted down. Now is not the era of feudal imperial power. What does it mean?Is it possible that you still want to contaminate the regime?

Sure enough, the main event was put behind, and the leaders' keen political sense quickly moved. After a long while, someone said slowly: "Of course."

They thought they had already guessed a lot, but they didn't expect that the green dragon's appetite was bigger than they imagined.Everyone looked at each other again, the surface was calm as usual, but the inside was turbulent.

Hearing that Qinglong suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, as if his wish had been fulfilled, then stopped the laughter and looked back at the crowd——

"Okay! Then I will recommend myself to become a national special protected animal!"

The pupils of the turbulent leaders were momentarily confused: "?????"

When Qinglong said this, his tone suddenly sank, his eyes swept over Wei Xi, and then he turned his head to look at the direction outside the venue near the center of the zoo, his eyes narrowed cruelly, and he said word by word——

"The kind that is more cherished than wild boars and pandas!"

leaders:"……………………"

No, what do you mean by wild boar and panda?Do you think wild boars and pandas are more cherished than you?Did this dragon misunderstand himself?
