A bunch of people looked at him in confusion, blinking and not reacting.
"Dragon scales? I thought they were dragon scales!" Zhou Kai said with a silly smile.
"Old Xu, what's going on?" Sun Renyi asked.
Xu Han took a few breaths and said, "My grandfather told me a long time ago that his grandfather told him before that Xujiacun was not called Xujiacun before."
It turns out that there is an ancient legend in Xujia Village.
A long time ago, Chi Qi, the ninth son of the Dragon King, and Ling Die, the sixth daughter of the South Sea Fish Queen, prepared to be together because of their love, but they were opposed by their elders.
Chiki and Lingdie had no choice but to give birth to a son, Black Dragon. The Dragon King was furious, thinking that Chi Qiu had made the decision without authorization and had given birth to a son, which had caused the Dragon clan to lose face, so he decided to execute the Black Dragon.
Lingdie vowed to protect his beloved son Heilong to the death, and even threatened him with death. Although the Fish Queen of the South China Sea does not like to see the black dragon, she loves her daughter Lingdie very much. Coupled with the powerful power of the Fish Clan, the Dragon King did not want the two sides to fall out, so he placed the Black Dragon under house arrest in a secret area of the East China Sea.
One hundred years later, the Dragon King granted amnesty and released the black dragon, but he was expelled from the Dragon Clan forever, cut off all ties, and was not allowed to enter the Dragon Clan's area of influence.
Although the black dragon's range of activities in the secret realm is very large and there are no restrictions, he is the only one in it, so he has developed an uncontrollable and withdrawn character. After being released, Black Dragon not only showed no gratitude, but instead vented his anger and made trouble, killing innocent people indiscriminately, making many enemies, and was protested by many forces.
The Dragon King was furious and decided to execute him again. But in exchange, Black Dragon's mother, Psylocke, permanently damaged her veins and became blind in one eye. The Dragon King had no choice but to seal the Black Dragon in a secret place on land, and set up a stone tablet with the inscription "Black Dragon" for a thousand years.
Because Black Dragon had many enemies, and his father Chiqi was cruel by nature, he had hatred with many forces. Therefore, while the Black Dragon was sealed, various forces came to assassinate him from time to time.
However, the dragon clan's formation was extremely tight, and outside forces were unable to break through, and the assassination was temporarily put on hold.
The nine children of the Dragon King each expanded their own power in the long-term internal struggle. But no matter what, I hope to be appreciated by my father. As the youngest child, Chiki has been loved and cared for by the Dragon King since he was a child.
However, since the arrival of the Black Dragon, his status in the eyes of the Dragon King has been drastically reduced, and he has even been treated coldly when he was received by the Dragon King on rare occasions. At the same time, Chiki's hostile forces have always regarded the black dragon as his weakness, mentioning it on various occasions, affecting his identity.
Chi Qi knew very well that a large part of the reason for his current situation was because of his son Heilong. Without it, you won't be left out.
At this time, Chi Kiss had murderous intentions and was determined to get rid of the black dragon, even though it was his own child. But for his own sake, he would not show mercy.
However, the elite dragon guards were established to seal the black dragon, and they only obeyed the orders of the Dragon King.
Therefore, Chiqiu used various methods, both soft and hard, and used huge conditions such as interest exchange to finally obtain a way to enter the sealed land.
Everything is ready except for the east wind. Now there is only one obstacle left, and that is the black dragon's mother, Spirit Butterfly.
After giving birth to a black dragon and being opposed by the Dragon King, Chiki and Lingdie never met again. But Lingdie's feelings for her child were very clear to Chi Qi. Especially when the Dragon King prepared to execute the black dragon twice, but was stopped by Lingdie at all costs, which made Chi Kiss see her determination to protect her son.
But if he wanted to kill the black dragon secretly, Chi Qi didn't dare to try it easily. After all, there is no airtight wall in the world. Sooner or later, the news will leak out. As the sixth daughter of the South Sea Fish Queen, Lingdie was deeply loved by her mother. Although she disliked the black dragon, she was her daughter's child after all.
Moreover, the power of the Fish Queen in the South China Sea is very powerful. Although it is not as powerful as the Dragon King, it is still a power that cannot be underestimated.
If the Black Dragon is secretly destroyed by Chiki, if Lingdie finds out one day, the consequences will be unimaginable. In serious cases, it may even cause a conflict between the Dragon Clan and the South China Sea Fish Clan.
After careful consideration, Chi Qi waited for a long time and finally got the opportunity. He took advantage of Lingdie's rare opportunity to travel far away. In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Chi Kiss entered the sealed secret realm alone without anyone, in an attempt to kill his biological son Black Dragon.
What he never expected was that the more cautious he was, the worse things would go. When he bribed people to find out how to enter the secret realm, one of his brothers got this information.
Therefore, his brother took advantage of his plan and cooperated with Chi Qiu's plan, determined to kill two birds with one stone.
The first is to take this opportunity to kill his brother Chiki so that he will have one less opponent in the fight for power. The second is to kill the black dragon at the same time.
Although the Dragon King twice wanted to execute the Black Dragon, he was eventually rescued by his mother, who had no choice but to exile and seal the Black Dragon.
But after all, Heilong is Chiqi's biological child and a member of the dragon clan. Although the Dragon King's majesty is extremely sacred, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not change his mind in the future. In order to prevent his descendants from having a future opponent, he planned to destroy the black dragon to avoid future troubles.
All of this led to Chiqi's plans and actions being secretly monitored by his brother. At the same time that Chi Qi entered the sealed place, his brother also followed closely behind.
In the secret realm, Chi Qiu and his brother fought over a disagreement. The two sons of the Dragon King continued to fight like this for seventy-seven and forty-nine days.
In the continuous battles, Chiqiu was gradually at a disadvantage and was suppressed by his brothers.
On the fiftieth day, the black dragon suddenly appeared, and the three parties fell into a melee, which lasted for another seven or forty-nine days.
In the end, the black dragon was destroyed by his uncle, and Chi Qi escaped to save his life. In order to deceive others, a piece of the black dragon's scale was left behind and continued to be sealed.
Due to the majesty of the Dragon King, Chi Qi and his brother achieved their goals. Therefore, they tacitly kept this matter a secret, and very few people who knew about it were silenced by them.
Later, the people were in chaos for many years, and the people who fled fled here. Because it is located in the mountains, transportation is extremely inconvenient and it is difficult for the outside world to reach here. Therefore, the villagers thrived here and established Heilong Village based on historical records.
Years pass by and time flies.
Over the past few hundred years, as the villagers have reproduced from generation to generation, the ancient memories have gradually been diluted and forgotten. In addition, there have been several major fires in the village, so the villagers believe that the name Heilong Village is unlucky and affects the feng shui. Because most people's surname was Xu, it was renamed Xujiacun.
At the end of the record, it is stated that the dragon scales contain the last remaining aura of the black dragon. After the thousand-year seal expires, if the dragon scales are activated, the black dragon may be reborn.
The ancient records were lost over a long period of time. Only a few old people told others orally by chance, and Xu Han was one of them. It's just that no one believes this legend, so the related memories have become less and less, and are close to extinction.
In fact, Xu Han didn't believe the whole thing. He just regarded it as a fairy tale from his own village. Occasionally, I told the villagers a few times, and they all laughed it off.
A series of facts he witnessed recently made Xu Han subvert his lifelong thinking. Especially the object that appeared on the top of the stone tower reminded him of this legend that had been passed down for thousands of years.
