"You seem to understand very well." I said with a wry smile and shook my head.
"Of course. Otherwise, do you really think that a bad old man who has been a policeman for several years can lead a group of teenagers with special skills? It's just a joke." He said, and started to brag to me.
To be honest, he was obviously bragging and pretending to be serious to make me laugh. However, he is an elder after all. At this moment, I was too embarrassed to laugh. During the conversation, Mr. Qiu seemed to
He said to me as if he was remembering something: "That's right, that's right, don't talk nonsense. Lu Li, kid, have you ever heard of something about this bastard? Tell me about it while you have time."
"What do you want to use this for?" I asked after thinking for a while.
"It's not what we want to do, but what we want to study. In recent decades, more and more weird creatures have been discovered by us. Even I have begun to doubt the existence of some creatures. I am like this, and so are the higher-ups.
In fact, if you push forward, there will always be countless secrets in the ever-changing dynasties. Some of them are regarded as important clues, and some of them are not taken seriously from the beginning to the end.
Taking a step back, if these things that have been denied many times by us are true, then some dusty files will have considerable value, for example, the red that is said to make people immortal.
Pills, some rare and rare treasures that emperors and generals are constantly pursuing, and... some incredible giant creatures and the huge value they bring."
"Dragon." I said, feeling something in my heart.
"You know?" As soon as these words came out, Mr. Qiu was startled.
"No, in fact, I don't know anything. It's just that the several encounters I encountered when I came in made me very suspicious." I said and smiled bitterly. Mr. Qiu looked around and saw that the people responsible for guarding were not close.
, Guigui and the others didn’t catch up either.
"Do you know where there are creatures like dragons?" Qiu Lao asked after hesitating for a long time.
"There are many kinds of dragons, and they have different habits and regions. I can't answer your question. Besides, although I have encountered quite a few strange creatures, from beginning to end, I have not seen a single dragon.
But, it’s really hard for me to answer you.”
"Then, how much do you know about that turtle-like thing?" Mr. Qiu said, his eyes flickering.
"What do you want to know?" I asked after a slight hesitation.
"I want to know whether this thing has anything to do with the legendary dragon." After saying this, Mr. Qiu put his hands behind his back and showed a very vicissitudes of expression. It can be seen that the old man has no burden on his shoulders.
Relaxation, I guess, happened one thing at a time during this period.
"Among the strange beasts I know, only the legendary Bixi resembles this turtle-like thing, because Bixi is also called a dragon turtle. According to legend, it is a thing created by the fusion of a turtle and a dragon.
The most typical features are the turtle shell, fangs, and scales. However, the legendary Bixi should be larger than this one. I heard that back then, Zhu Yuanzhang was ordered by fate to conquer the world. The Jade Emperor personally ordered it.
, asked the Dragon King of the Four Seas to assist him in achieving great things. However, the old dragon was old and weak, so it was impossible to stay with him all the time, so the old dragon chose nine of his sons to help him. Among them, there was Neng Wen
There are those who are capable of martial arts, those who can distinguish right from wrong, and those who can control the wind and rain. With their assistance, Zhu Yuanzhang's great cause can be successfully realized. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang loves these nine mythical beasts very much. But in the world, there is no banquet that never ends.
When Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world and ascended the throne as emperor, the mission of the nine mythical beasts was completed. So, they went to see the emperor to say goodbye to him. However, Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to leave and did not agree immediately. He persuaded them to stay for a few more days and found those who could
Liu Bowen, who was quite skilled in calculations, asked about countermeasures. Liu Bowen asked Zhu Yuanzhang, Your Majesty, do you really want to keep them? Zhu Yuanzhang said yes. Liu Bowen asked again, these mythical beasts each have their own abilities, which one do you value most?
Zhu Yuanzhang said that among the many mythical beasts, the boss Bixi is the most brave and good at fighting, and has boundless supernatural power. He has the ability to move mountains and reclaim seas. He is the one I value most. After hearing this, Liu Bowen made a plan in his heart.
When he came to resign for the first time, Liu Bowen said to the boss, Bi Xi: Brother, among the gods and beasts, you are the most powerful and your achievements are among the best. Now that you are leaving, Emperor Taizu is really reluctant to leave, but he knows
You have no choice but to leave, so I can only let you go back. However, before leaving, I have something to ask of you. There is a stone tablet in the palace. It is so huge that even hundreds of people cannot lift it. But this thing,
It was originally intended to be placed in the Ancestral Temple. See if you can help carry this stone tablet to the table. This is the last task given to you by Emperor Taizu. If you can do it,
You can go back."
"Then what?" Mr. Qiu nodded after hearing this.
"As I said just now, this Bixi is a huge beast in itself and is famous for its supernatural power. It is said that it can carry the five peaks of the Five Mountains on its back. Since it has such magical powers, how can it be carried? Are you scared by a stone monument? So, Bi Xi nodded in agreement without hesitation. But in fact, Liu Bowen is a very sinister person, and he is a person who is well versed in Taoism and Dharma. He knows many things that ordinary people don't know. , also knew how to restrain the divine power from heaven. Before that, he sent people to carve the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty and the meritorious deeds of all the wise men since the Five Emperors on the stone tablet, and hid it with a Taoist magic circle. Xi didn't know the details. After putting the stone tablet on his body, he was immediately restrained on the spot. No matter what, he couldn't move. The brothers were not stupid and knew immediately that they were being plotted. However, the brotherly love was deep and they did not abandon Xi Xi. , so all the mythical beasts stayed in the palace together, each taking their own place. It was just the resentment in their hearts that was difficult to calm down. Within a few days, these mythical beasts seemed to have been combined and turned into stones one after another, never showing their true colors again. Since then, the statue of the statue has always been carrying a stone tablet and stayed in the palace. When later generations heard this story, they felt that it was of high artistic quality, so they imitated others and created strange shapes of "bastard carrying stone tablets". In that era, there were many illiterates, and there were many people who didn't know the allusions. After several twists and turns, the image of Bixi became more and more like a turtle, and the misunderstanding about the bastard was put to rest."
