Dragon Fate of Shan Hai Ji

Almost everyone in the world knew about the legend of the Vein Protector Dragon God, and Le Yue had heard it a long time ago, but he always thought it was nonsense.

According to legend, after Pangu opened up the world, Nuwa used loess to create human beings, and was honored as the Emperor Wa or Mother Nuwa in the mortal world. Nuwa had a human head and a snake body. , Transformed into a dragon in Tianchi, from then on, protect the mortal lord, follow the will of heaven, choose a king, or protect his country, or overthrow the dynasty, and establish another monarch.It is called the Dragon God who protects the veins.

The Maid Dragon God is not among the third class of dragons, it is a branch of its own, but it is because of the existence of the Maid Dragon God that dragons have always been respected in the mortal world.Throughout the dynasties, the dragon has been a symbol of the emperor. The emperor's robe, the flag of a country, and the utensils used by the emperor are all decorated with dragons to show their dignity.The emperors of all dynasties set up altars to worship the dragon god. In the eyes of ordinary people, the dragon represents the supremacy.

According to legend, in addition to the pulse-protecting dragon god, there are three other pulse-protecting gods in heaven.

For thousands of years, the world has been enshrining the gods who protect the pulse with this legend.Until more than 100 years ago.

At that time, Emperor Chengyuan of the Ying Dynasty passed away, and he set up an imperial edict to pass on the throne to the crown prince Hexi.

Later, He Chang really killed his brother and won the throne, changed the name of the country to Fengxiang, and called him Emperor Fengxiang.After Emperor Fengxiang succeeded to the throne, he changed his clothes and flags, changed the dragon robe to a phoenix robe, changed the royal dragon flag to a phoenix flag, reset the altar, smashed the position of the dragon god, and sacrificed to the phoenix god. , where there is a dragon ornament, it must be changed to a phoenix, because the phoenix is ​​divided into male and female, and it happens that the emperor uses the phoenix as the ornament, and the concubine uses the phoenix as the ornament. For respect.In other words, the four major guardian gods have become the guardian phoenix god, the guardian phoenix god, the guardian unicorn and the mysterious tortoise.For more than 100 years after him, the phoenix god was infinitely honored, the dragon god was belittled infinitely, and there was even an act of hunting and killing dragon spirits. The theory of the pulse-protecting dragon god gradually could not be mentioned publicly, and could only be circulated in private.

But the theory of the Maid Protector God is too mysterious, so even though Le Yue is a disciple of the Xiuxian sect, he still doesn't believe in this kind of legend.

But now, the so-called Vein Protector Dragon God is very close at hand, and it is more difficult not to believe it.

Just now Zhao Yuan leaked the secret, he was too terrified to maintain his human form, so he changed back to that young dragon, curled up on Le Yue's bed, and stuck his head into the quilt.

Le Yue walked to the edge of the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed. He looked at its small body less than a foot long from head to tail. If this young dragon is really the Dragon God who protects the veins, he can really understand why Phoenix can help The prince usurped the throne and replaced the Dragon God.

Le Yue patted the quilt: "Uh, it is said that Emperor Feng Xiang relied on the support of the Phoenix God to become the emperor. The Phoenix God defeated the Dragon God. Is it true?"

Zhao Yuan's body curled up, his head inserted under the quilt lightly nodded, and the quilt undulated slightly.

Le Yue rubbed his nose: "So it's true, then why did the Phoenix God who protects the Vein beat your Dragon God who protects the Vein?" In the legend, isn't it true that dragons are more powerful than phoenixes?

Zhao Yuan's body was stiff and motionless.

This matter should be its sore spot, so don't poke it unkindly.Le Yue changed his tune and said, "You are the Gods of the Heavenly Court. The Phoenix has taken your position, so the Heavenly Court doesn't care? It's okay to go to the Jade Emperor and sue them?"

Zhao Yuan tightly grasped the bed sheet with his claws.

Alas, it seems that this matter is also a pain point for their family, so I won't continue to ask.

Le Yue paused for a moment, but couldn't help but asked again: "So you are looking for Luo Lingzhi this time, do you want him to usurp the throne and become the emperor, so that you can defeat Phoenix and become the Dragon God of the Vein Protector again?" gone?"

Zhao Yuan squirmed a bit, pulled his head out of the quilt, blinked his red, swollen and dull eyes: "Luo Lingzhi is not trying to usurp the dynasty, it is Phoenix who wants others to usurp the throne and change the dynasty."

Le Yue's eyes widened: "Huh?"

Zhao Yuan stuck his head back into the quilt again.

Le Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, if you don't want to say anything, I won't ask any more. Anyway, the more I know about your confidential matters, the faster you will die." Standing up and walking to the window By the side, it's almost dawn.

Zhao Yuan buried his head deeply in the quilt and closed his eyes tightly.

The few words Le Yue asked just now pierced its heart, exposing the old scar of humiliation of the Mailong Dragon God for more than 100 years.

That's right, back then, they were defeated by Fenghuang, and the one who lost to Fenghuang and lost the position of the Maid Protector was its father.

When he was a child, Zhao Yuan was always confused about what kind of dragon he should be.

First of all, although it is a dragon, it has lived with the whole family in a narrow and small river ditch since its birth. The father, queen mother, elder brother, older sister, younger brother and younger sister nest together with seven or eight dragons, which is very crowded.

Moreover, this small river ditch was given to them by the mother's uncle, Donghai Dragon King Ao Guang, who sympathized with their family's lack of shelter.Turning a few turns eastward from Xiaohegou, you can enter the East China Sea through a wide water area, which is under the jurisdiction of Uncle Ao Guangbiao's family, vast and boundless.The Crystal Dragon Palace where Uncle Biao lives is even more resplendent, and any palace is as big as the entire place where their family lives.

When my uncle sneezes in the sky, there will be dark clouds, lightning and thunder in the world, and when my uncle spits in the clouds, there will be heavy rain in the world, day and night.If Uncle Biao showed his real body and turned over in the sea, the East China Sea would be able to fall from the surface to the bottom.

Uncle Ao Guangbiao is the dragon god, the highest dragon.

I don't seem to be a water dragon or a cloud dragon either. They all live in the vast river and sea, and they are free and easy. There is no golden yellow like myself.

As for the last dragon essence...

When Zhao Yuan was just sensible, he once asked his father, "Are we dragon spirits?"

The father immediately narrowed his eyes sullenly, and his beard puffed up: "If you link us with that kind of inferior thing, you will get out, and don't call me father again!"

Brothers, sisters, brothers and sisters squatted in the corner to look at it sympathetically, Zhao Yuan bowed his head and retreated silently, never daring to mention the word "Dragon Spirit" again.

If none of the three, what would it be?It was very puzzled and dared not ask.

Father often said: "We are actually dragon gods, and we are dragon gods conferred by the Jade Emperor himself, the most noble kind." When father said this, he would always lie on the bottom of the small river with his eyes half closed In the silt, he stroked his beard with his dragon claws, and looked into the distance faintly.

However, when the father said this, he must not ask questions beside him: "Then why do we live in this kind of place, unlike my uncle?"

If the question is out of the mouth, the father will suddenly have an old problem and roar in the ditch, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault..." roaring, banging his head hard, and digging with dragon claws Grab the silt at the bottom of the ditch, and finally bury yourself in the silt.

Zhaoyuan has five brothers and sisters, and it happens to be the one in the middle, with an older brother and an older sister on top, and a younger brother and younger sister on the bottom.My brother and sister are much older than it, and my brother and sister are much younger than it. Sometimes it swims out of the river to play with fish, shrimp, crabs and mussels, but it is always left out, and the fish, shrimps, crabs and mussels will get together, yes Pointing at it, whispering.

It does not know what they are talking about.

The first time Zhao Yuan visited Uncle Ao Guang's house was when he was ten years old. Uncle Mo Ting, the son of his cousin, got married, and his mother brought five of them to give gifts and have a wedding wine.

The dragon kings of the three seas in the northwest and the south also came to congratulate them with gifts and family members. Among the children and grandchildren of the dragon kings of the four seas, there are young dragons who are about the same age as the Zhaoyuan brothers and sisters, especially cousin Zetan, the granddaughter of uncle Ao Guang, who is gentle and kind. So beautiful, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but want to get close.

But the other little dragons teamed up to bully it and didn't let it get close to Cousin Motan.

Longsun Zerui and Zesi of Nanhai Aoqin's cousin and Xihai Aorun's granddaughter Zehu were particularly arrogant. Zhao Yuan was just about to move through the corridor to Zeqin's cousin when he was blocked by Zerui Zesi's partner On the way, Zehu stretched out his hand and pushed it staggeringly: "Hey, this is the place where only the descendants of the Dragon King can come. You little loach, don't rush in here. If you don't, get back quickly. I'll let the shrimp soldiers and crab generals drive you out!"

Zhao Yuan raised his head to argue: "I am not a little loach, I am also a dragon, and my father is also the Dragon King!"

Zerize Zehu burst into laughter, and Zesi said loudly, "Your father is the Dragon King? Ha! What kind of Dragon King? The Dragon King in the small river ditch? Haha~~"

Zhao Yuan blushed, and Ze Hu said: "Who in the entire Dragon Clan doesn't know that your father is a scum among dragons, the most useless dragon, he was defeated by a bird, and it has completely embarrassed our Dragon Clan! Now we The dragon clan has lost a lot of support in the mortal world, mortals actually let the phoenix climb on our heads, and the lowly dragons were killed as ordinary livestock. These are all your father's fault! Your father still regards himself as a king, what? King? Shame on the king!"

Zhao Yuan was so angry that he trembled all over, and shouted: "You are talking nonsense!"

Ze Hu raised his chin: "What nonsense, if you don't believe me, ask your father, ask your mother, ask it if your father is a scum of dragons, and if you are a shameful king!"

Zerui pulled Zehu's sleeve aside: "Forget it, sister Hu, let's not argue with it, my mother said, its father is a bad ghost, and the child of a bad ghost is a little bad ghost, talking to it will It's bad luck. Let's go, let's go over there to play, stay away from the bad ghost."

Zehu cast a sideways glance at Zhaoyuan, followed Zerui to leave, Zesi took two steps, then turned around and said, "Hey, little bad loach, don't get close to sister Zetan, if you dare to show bad luck to sister, I will definitely I'm not polite to you! And my sister won't care about such a low-level loach like you!" She waved her front dragon claws in protest, and turned to chase Zerui and Zehu.

Zhao Yuan stood in a daze for a moment, then suddenly chased after him, raised his claws, aimed at Ze Si's back and grabbed hard.

With a howl of a dragon, Ze Si turned around suddenly, and Zhao Yuan grabbed several bloody holes on his back, and his scales turned up, revealing his flesh.Zesi rolled up the cyclone violently with the dragon's tail, spit out water mist, and grabbed Zhao Yuan with his two claws like hooks.

Zehu and Zerui were also alarmed and rushed over to help. The four little dragons wrestled into a ball, and the world was turned upside down.

Zhao Yuan fought three against one, and it was naturally extremely tragic. When the elders came in a hurry and pulled them away, Zhao Yuan was covered in bruises, from the beginning to the end, there was almost no complete dragon scale.

In addition to scratching Ze Si's back, he also bit his tail, Zerui's nose was scratched twice, and Ze Hu's claws and waist were scratched with blood.

Brothers, sisters, younger brothers and younger sisters surrounded Zhaoyuan to wrap its wounds, while the queen mother bent down and bowed her head, constantly apologizing to Ze Rui Ze Si Ze Hu's parents and several cousins: "The child is naughty, I don't know how to discipline him. I hope my uncles, cousins ​​and sisters-in-law don’t care about villains, and don’t care about it because it’s still a child.”

Zhao Yuan was lying on the water plants, feeling extremely wronged, why did the queen mother apologize, bow her knees so lowly, it was their fault, they insulted the father, and called us bad ghosts and loaches.It wanted to get up to defend itself, but the elder brother pressed his paw back on the water plant: "Save your energy, and don't cause trouble for the queen." The younger brother babbled and scratched its dragon tail with his paw, and licked the wound for it. The eldest sister sighed: "Who made our father really down."

The queen mother paid for it for a long time, but the parents of Zerizesi and Zehu showed magnanimous expressions just now, and said a few times as if they were gracious.

Zehu's mother put her daughter in her arms and said to Zhaoyuan's queen mother, "Sister Tang, let me talk more about you. There is a saying among mortals, which I think makes sense. Think about how noble and beautiful you were before you got married. There are several dragon girls in the four seas, five lakes, and all rivers and rivers that can match your status. I remember I persuaded you at the time, saying that although they are also called dragon gods, they are different from the real dragon gods like us. The so-called guardian veins, to put it bluntly, are guards who are ordered by the heaven to protect mortals. Who would have thought that the one you married was a scum in the guards, and even that small position was snatched away by a bird like Phoenix, and turned into a dragon of mourning, dragging down our entire dragon clan to no respect in the mortal world But everyone is magnanimous and doesn’t care about your family. Look at you now, you can only live in a small river ditch, your claws are rough, and your scales are dull. How can you still have the beautiful appearance of the past? Even the son you gave birth to , all of which are based on his father's true biography, ignorant, useless and manic. Alas, I can't help but feel sad for you!"

Zhao Yuan was so angry that he almost got up from the water plants again, even the elder brother's dragon claw that was holding it was trembling. Beside him, he spat blisters at Zehu's mother: "Old lady... Boo, old lady..."

Zehu's mother glanced at them sideways: "Look, I'm right, not only sons, but also daughters, big and small are the same, and they are all the same as their father."

Finally, Cousin Ao Run said openly: "You should stop with enough, too much." Zehu's mother just stopped in resentment.

Seeing her mother's back straightened, Zhaoyuan said in a humble tone, "Thank you sister Qin for worrying about me. It's because I don't know how to discipline children. It's Zhaoyuan who made a mistake this time. I will teach it well when I go back so that it understands the truth and understands the truth." Etiquette, understand what is really right and what is really wrong. As for marrying the wrong man, I don’t know, but I have never regretted choosing Chen Shang to be my husband. He lives in the palace and enjoys sacrifices and is worshiped by everyone in the world. When I followed it, it lived in a small river ditch and became the dragon of mourning in the mouth of the same clan, and I will still follow it."

After the mother finished speaking, she chatted casually with other cousins ​​and aunts, and then bid farewell to Uncle Ao Guangbiao, and took the five brothers and sisters back to Xiaohegou.

On the way back, the queen mother suddenly told them: "Zhaoyuan's body is injured, if your father asks about it after you go back, you will say that you were injured after fighting with other little dragons for food or fighting in anger. Your father Don't mention a single word about Wang being ridiculed, do you understand?"

The five little dragons nodded together, but Zhao Yuan still couldn't figure it out.

Why is the father being ridiculed?What happened to the Dragon of the Lost Family?Why can't you say it in front of your father?Why does the father often go crazy?Until its injury was almost healed, one day, the father went crazy and buried himself in mud, and when he was sleeping soundly in the mud, the mother took the five siblings to a remote corner outside the small river ditch and told them The past of the father's humiliation and pain.

The queen mother said that the father was originally the dragon god who protects the veins.The Dragon God of Protecting the Maid is the Dragon God who was appointed by the Heavenly Emperor to protect the mortal monarch and the destiny of the country. He can choose to become a mortal or become invisible, and assist the emperor to rule the world according to the destiny.The Maid Dragon God has taken on this responsibility for thousands of years, and also enjoys the respect and worship of the world.Until more than 100 years ago, when it was time to choose a new emperor of a certain dynasty in the mortal world, the Maid Dragon God at that time, their father Wang Chenshang, chose the eldest son of the old emperor according to the usual rules and the wishes of the old emperor.But when the old emperor was still in power, a rare thing happened. A phoenix god who was also the god of pulse protection with their father fell in love with a certain concubine he was guarding. Although that concubine was a mortal However, she is very talented and can see the real body of the God of Maiden. The God of Phoenix revealed the fate to the concubine, but the concubine is a greedy woman who wants her son to become the emperor. Her son became emperor.

When the queen mother said this, she sighed long and hard: "Your father and king have been good friends with that Phoenix God for many years. He already knew that the Phoenix God had a private relationship with a mortal woman, but he concealed it for him and did not report it to the Heavenly Court. It's just to dissuade you from time to time. Your father is a good dragon god. He never thought that his friend would be so confused and really agreed to that woman's request. The desire to go against the sky, and turn against myself as an enemy."

The queen mother said that when Fengshen protected the concubine's son and rebelled, the father and king were stupid. The battle lasted for many days and nights. On the ground, it was the rebellious prince who led the army to fight bloody with his brother. It was a battle between the Dragon God of the Maid and the Phoenix God of the Maid.

The father was unprepared on this side, but Fenghuang had planned it for a long time. It turns out that the Phoenix family who protect the pulse can only protect concubines. They have lived under the Dragon God who protects the pulse for thousands of years. The mortals often use the dragon to represent men and the phoenix to represent women, which makes many male phoenixes unbearable and jealous of the dragon god.The Phoenix God's deeds actually won the support of almost all the phoenixes protecting the veins at that time, and he combined the power of the whole clan to deal with the father.There is only one Maid-protecting Dragon God, and there are always many Maid-protecting Phoenixes and the other two Mai-protecting gods. The father and king are outnumbered, and because of the loss of the Dragon Ball's mana, they can only leave with hatred in the end.

Zhaoyuan's eldest sister said: "In the final analysis, this incident was caused by the despicableness of the vein-protecting phoenixes. Their whole family has no good things! Ignorant mortals use dragons to represent men and phoenixes to represent women. Why don't we female dragons What kind of opinion, but they are used by their male phoenix as an excuse, hey, a group of narrow-minded, despicable and shameless scum."

After Zhao Yuan's elder brother asked for a long time, Le Yue asked Zhao Yuan's question: "Since our Maid Dragon God was conferred by the Jade Emperor himself, why didn't my father go to the Jade Emperor to seek justice? Tampering with the destiny, why didn't the heavens send troops to question them?"

The queen mother said that Zhao Yuan and his father went to the Heavenly Court to ask for an explanation in front of the Jade Emperor. But when the Phoenix God had an affair with the concubine, the father concealed it for him, which led to subsequent disasters, so the Jade Emperor It is said that although the phoenix god who protects the veins violates the laws of heaven and is a big treason, Chen Shang, the dragon god who protects the pulse, is also one of the chief culprits.

The Jade Emperor said: "Back then, this emperor personally appointed your family as the Maid-protecting Dragon God, who chose the master of the mortal world to protect the fate of the country in the mortal world, and was the head of all the Maid-protecting gods. Now that you can't even suppress the phoenix, how can you continue?" Convincing the public? How will your family take on this important task?"

Zhaoyuan's eldest sister opened her eyes wide: "So Heavenly Court just allowed the phoenix to continue to dominate the world and act recklessly, ignoring their deeds? Then the poor father lived in this small river ditch in despair, and was scolded To be the dragon of mourning, to be stared at all the time?"

The queen mother said: "No."

The queen mother stared at the half-white and half-blue water where the ditch connected to the East China Sea: "Whenever there is a change of dynasty or a usurpation of the dynasty in the mortal world, ordinary mortals in the mortal world will suffer a catastrophe. The Jade Emperor is merciful and sympathetic to all living beings in the world. After the prince helped by the Phoenix usurps the throne, if there is another turmoil, the mortals will suffer again. Therefore, the Jade Emperor decreed that the gods and generals in the heaven should not intervene in this matter for the time being, and give the mortals a period of recuperation. Give your father a chance to win back his dignity."

Zhao Yuan's eldest brother sneered and said, "Father, it is sleeping in the mud now, where is the opportunity?"

The empress mother said: "The Jade Emperor said that the Feng family who protect the veins acted against the sky and changed the destiny, but in 200 years, the destiny of the mortal world will change again, so the Jade Emperor gave your father and king 200 years. Within 200 years, if we can find this variable and seize the opportunity, we will be able to return to the position of Dragon God who protects the veins and enjoy respect again."

Zhao Yuan moved his front paws carefully: "Then what if you can't find it and can't grasp it?"

The eldest brother immediately said: "That's not a question, but our family will sleep in the mud of the small river forever from now on."

Zhao Yuan asked again: "Then what is that variable?"

The queen mother was silent, and the eldest brother knocked its head with its dragon claws: "Stupid, if you think about it with your tail, you know it must not have appeared. Otherwise, would father and king still be sleeping in the mud at this time?"

Zhao Yuan was also silent.
