When the door of the library was half closed, Le Zhengli looked at the scholar and said, "Sorry, I want to ask, you said that you once read in a book... Uh, the word 'Ran Yi' name?"

The scholar nodded, and his eyes fell on Yin Ranyi again, with a bit of curiosity and inquiry in his expression. Lezheng Li originally wanted to ask something serious, but he couldn't help laughing when he saw the scholar's expression. Is this how you put all your emotions on your face without covering it up?

Yin Ranyi was impatient with the scholar's look, and while he was adjusting the machine, he glanced coldly at the scholar, and Le Zhengli saw that the scholar's upper body exposed in the air suddenly stepped back a little, and said, "I don't know. This... what is your name, please?"

The scholar frowned and thought for a while, then hesitantly said: "Probably... the surname is Liu... oh no, it should be Liu... right?"

I've forgotten even my surname, I've been dead for long enough... Lezheng Li's mouth twitched: "Then, Mr. Liu, where did you read it? Is there something wrong with this name?"

As soon as he talked about the things in the book, Liu Sheng suddenly became interested, walked a few steps forward, and said to Le Zhengli: "I've only seen this book once, and it doesn't have a name. It seems that it was left by the predecessors. The manuscripts on which are recorded are ancient and modern tales, and the author's technique is ingenious, and he can outline the essence of all things with only a little pen and ink, as if those gods, demons and monsters are all alive..."

After talking nonstop for a while, the scholar remembered the subject of Le Zhengli's question, so he quickly stopped talking and continued: "I remember the word 'Ran Yi' very clearly, because this Ran Yi, in the book is The incarnation of the Zulong."

Zulong, the term Le Zhengli is not very unfamiliar. Isn't it generally used to refer to Qin Shihuang in literary works?When I was watching "Fengshen Yanyi", I also saw the word Zulong. It is said that it is a god that existed at the beginning of the world, but how could this thing have anything to do with Yin Ranyi?Even if Yin Ranyi really wanted to transform into a big black python, could it be that the dragons in ancient times looked like that?

He was a little tangled in his heart, and asked: "Is there any description of the appearance of this 'Ran Yi' in the book?"

The scholar narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a while, then said: "There is Shenzhou in the East China Sea, thousands of miles in the state are covered with clouds, and there are fairy mountains on the clouds. The ancestor Longran left behind it, and his height is unknown. When people walk on the state, they can see dragon scales when they look up. , as big as a millstone, its color is blue, and there are dragon scales falling off, and everyone grinds it with gold and stones to find its powder, and the gold and stone are all broken, but the dragon scales are not hurt." After he finished speaking, he thought about it and confirmed Wu Wu just nodded and said: "The original text is the same."

"Chinese people really have a good appetite, and dragon scales also want to eat..." Le Zhengli said with some emotion, and looked at the scholar again, "Mr. Liu really has a good memory." He didn't even remember his own name. Remember a short story in a book?

Liu Sheng's pale cheeks turned red, he raised his hand and said, "Your Excellency's praise."

But the only useful information in this story is "Seqing". The ancestral dragon named "Ran Yi" is also black. Could it be that he is related to Yin Ranyi?Le Zhengli glanced at Yin Ranyi, who shrugged at him, apparently never having heard of this distant relative.

Le Zhengli asked again: "Then why does Mr. Liu think that the name Ran Yi is strange? Just because of this story?"

Liu Sheng shook his head, took a look at Yin Ranyi, and saw that the other party didn't seem to be planning to do anything to him, so he relieved himself and explained: "It was written in the book that Zu Longran died later for some reason. You can add a sentence or two to stop children crying at night, but I heard that if ordinary people put these two words in their names, they will not end well, not only will they die without exception, but they will die in a miserable way,' Ran Yi ’ and that’s how the name became taboo.”

Le Zhengli's heart skipped a beat when he heard the phrase "Unable to die well", and he was slightly relieved when he heard Huang Kou's age. This ancient man could not live to be ten years old, but Yin Ranyi was already over twenty.He subconsciously moved closer to Yin Ranyi, who stretched out his hand to hold his hand, and gently squeezed Le Zhengli's palm as if to comfort him.

Seeing Le Zhengli's expression changed slightly, Liu Sheng also knew that he was close to Yin Ranyi, so he inevitably had to think too much after hearing what he said, so he added: "However, these are all ancient texts in the book, and Wan Sheng was only curious for a while. It’s not true to be afraid.”

Lezheng Li let out a somewhat disinterested "Hmm", but for no reason recalled Guo Xuan's comment on Yin Ranyi's "is a person but not a person". Could it be that everything that Yin Ranyi has encountered now is because of a name?A name that is not even known to be true or false in ancient scriptures?But if it's just because of a name... then how can I explain that I am his disciple?

At this time, Yin Ranyi whispered in his ear: "Don't think too much, talk about it when you go back."

Lezheng Li's expression relaxed, that's right, you can ask your master after you go back, why did you flip through the book and give Yin Ranyi such a name in the first place?Could it be that he and the scholar were still reading the same book?

Thinking of this, Le Zhengli asked casually, "I don't know where Mr. Liu read the book? Do you know the whereabouts?" When he asked this question, he had already given up much hope. With Liu Sheng's memory, he was afraid. It's long since forgotten.

Sure enough, Liu Sheng shook his head guiltily: "Sorry, I'm too old, Wan Sheng really can't remember."

Fortunately, he didn't have much hope at first, Le Zhengli responded, but he was not necessarily disappointed. He followed Liu Sheng's example and bowed his hands to the other party: "Thank you, Mr. Liu."

Liu Sheng waved his hands again and again to express that he was of no help, seeing Le Zhengli and Yin Ranyi packing up their things and preparing to go out, he hurriedly tried to persuade them to stay: "You two, please stay!"

Le Zhengli looked back at him with some puzzlement: "Is there something else for Mr. Liu?"

Liu Sheng seemed a little embarrassed, and asked tentatively, "I don't know what the two of you are going to do...what will you do?"

"Ah?" Le Zhengli looked blank, turned his head to glance at Yin Ranyi, and blinked at him: Are you going to kill this scholar?

Yin Ranyi shook his head, this scholar has never committed any crimes and harmed others, and no one found his head and asked him to kill him, so he naturally turned a blind eye to everything and ignored it.

Le Zhengli answered truthfully: "The two of us didn't mean that, it's just that Mr. Liu made too much noise before, and we were entrusted to come over to see what happened." After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Liu Just be more careful in the future, sir, the people who met you just now are our colleagues, we will not make this matter public."

Liu Sheng was relieved, he thought that this group of people came to get rid of the demon and wanted to beat him to death.

He gradually revealed his whole body, and solemnly bowed to Yin Ranyi, Le Zhengli and the others: "Thank you both."

Le Zhengli nodded and smiled at the other party, and then closed the door with Yin Ranyi and left. Seeing Xia Ming and the others gathered outside the door, he asked softly, "What are you doing?"

Wei Yihong was startled by his sudden sound, looked back, and said, "Oh, little carp, you came just in time, Tang Zhongliu scared Teacher Li to death!"

Scared to death not by ghosts but by people?Le Zhengli was taken aback, thinking he had heard wrong: "What?"

He walked over and took a flashlight. Teacher Li closed his eyes and half leaned on the handrail of the stairs. His body was pinched and bruised, and he looked very miserable.

Tang Zhongliu sighed, "Why don't we send him to the hospital?"

Yin Ranyi walked over with the camera and took a look, bent his right hand and tapped on the center of Teacher Li's forehead, and then raised his hand to pinch in the middle of the crowd, a red mark immediately appeared on the already bruised skin , Seeing the people next to him gasp, how much effort did this take?

But when Yin Ranyi raised his hand, Teacher Li began to cough, and gradually woke up. Seeing that everyone was surrounding him, he felt a little strange: "What's wrong?... Hiss..." He raised his hand and touched He touched the top of his lips, "Why does it hurt so much?"

Lezheng Li smiled at him: "I've taken all the photos, let's go."

Teacher Li seemed to have completely forgotten the frightening scene he saw before, and said "oh" in a daze, and stood up while leaning on the handrail, "The filming is over? Then...then let's go."

The author has something to say:

[Note 1] The word "Ran Yi" comes from "Shan Hai Jing", which is a strange fish in ancient Han myths and legends.The form of the boa constrictor in this article is purely fabricated, and the two have nothing to do with each other.

[Remark 2] The earliest description of Zulong can be found below is an answer in Baidu Zhizhi: "In "Fengshen Bang", the real Huanglong of the dragon clan mentioned the ancestor dragon of the dragon clan. In the great battle, the ancestor dragon of the dragon clan was injured and retreated, and the phoenix clan and the unicorn clan sealed themselves. Then because of the end of the powerhouses of the three clans, there was the subsequent Lich War, and then there was the third calamity of heaven and earth, the Conferred God War."

Of course... the ancestor dragon in this article is still fabricated, and everything about appearance, ability and incarnation are all fiction.

The above will not be further explained in the following text.
