Emperor Zhou held a state banquet to entertain the envoys of the six countries. The music of "King Yu" was played at the state banquet, and the bells and drums rang in unison, creating a peaceful atmosphere. At the banquet, Xiao Yi sat next to the Emperor of Zhou. The envoy of Qin poured a spoonful of wine into the wine baron. He stood up and faced Xiao Yi and said, "I will bring the envoys from the six countries to congratulate you on your great joy. You will be the head of the Zhou family." Princess, you are so kind to me!" Xiao Yi stood up and said: "The Qin envoy is serious." He then looked at the Emperor Zhou who was sitting behind him. The Emperor Zhou was left in the cold and could not say anything. It was obvious that these envoys He didn't take Emperor Zhou seriously at all. They gathered in Luoyi, the capital of Zhou, this time because of Xiao Yi's face, not because of the Emperor of Zhou. Xiao Yi also knew this, so he said: "This is the virtue of the emperor, and it is the blessing of the emperor." The envoys from the six countries came forward to pay homage to the emperor of Zhou. The emperor of Zhou then said: "Envoys do not need to be polite, please sit down. Let's go." The envoys from the six countries sat in front of several cases on both sides. The envoy of Qin added: "Sir, he is the holy insect of the country. His virtue is as high as a mountain. We admire him. If he comes to our country, our king will definitely entertain him warmly and treat him with the courtesy of a national scholar." The little ant said: "You are noble. If the king treats other vassal states with courtesy, and other vassal states believe in him, why should he treat me like this, little ant?" The Qin envoy was speechless at these words, and he became depressed.
Another year later, the eldest princess gave birth to a son, and Emperor Zhou sent a carp to congratulate her. Xiao Yi picked up the carp and stood next to Xiao'er, and said with a smile: "Carp means courtesy, from now on it will be called Zhao Li." Xiao Yi was originally named Zhao, but his life experience is still a mystery. The eldest princess sat on the couch and looked at the infant child, and said with a smile: "Son! From now on, you will be called Zhao Li. This is the name your father gave you." The little ant saw the infant child. She grinned and said, "Husband, look at it smiling." The eldest princess looked up at Xiao Yi and said, "Husband." Xiao Yi called the servants in the house and said, "Go and stew this carp. Nourish your husband's body." After saying this, Xiao Yi was about to turn around and leave. The eldest princess sat up on the end of the couch and asked, "Husband, where are you going?" Xiao Yi turned around and replied, "As courtesy, courtesy will be reciprocated. , Xiao Yi comes to the palace this time to express his gratitude." The eldest princess said: "Okay, you can go."
Little Yi entered the palace to pay homage to Emperor Zhou. Emperor Zhou walked up and said, "Sir, please stand down." Then Emperor Zhou asked again, "I wonder why you came to the palace this time?" Little Yi saluted and said, "Xiao Yi, this is The first time I went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor was to express my gratitude; the second time was to find the Huanlong clan."
Xiao Yi read many ancient books and found records about the Huanlong clan. The Dragon Master, known as Dong Fu, is said to have liked dragons very much in ancient times. He also understood the nature of dragons and liked to tame them. The tamed dragons could carry loads, drive cars, and even become human mounts. At that time, someone paid tribute to Emperor Shun. Several dragons were tamed by Dong's father and learned to dance. Emperor Shun therefore gave them the surname Huanlong. Later, in the Xia Dynasty, there was a man named Liu Lei who learned the art of dragon training from the Chuanlong clan and was given the title of Yulong clan by Kong Jia. It is said that Liu Lei raised a pair of male and female dragons, but accidentally killed one of them. After these two families, who made a living by raising dragons, were gradually swallowed up and disappeared by the long river of history, dragons became myths in the human world.
Emperor Zhou asked: "Sir, are you leaving Zhoudu?" Xiao Yi replied: "Yes." Emperor Zhou asked: "Sir, do you know where this descendant of the Huanlong family lives?" The little ant replied: "In the 29th year of Zhao Gong's "Zuo Zhuan" there is a saying: When the female dragon died, she hid in the grave with the Queen of Xia, and the Queen of Summer feasted on it. After that, she asked for it, and because of fear, she moved to Lu County. In fact, it was However, Wei City is the ancient Wei State, and Dong's Huanlong family actually lived here. If Linying's Changge and your dragon flourish, then the land of Huanlong will be entrusted. Xiao Yi only needs to go to Lushan in Wei State ." Emperor Zhou said: "Okay, sir, you can go." Xiao Yi bowed and said: "Xiao Yi, I'll take my leave now." Xiao Yi exited the Zhou Palace, said goodbye to Jia Chong, and headed to Lushan in Wei State. Go visit the descendants of the Huanlong family.
In 374 BC, the state of Wei attacked Chu and captured Luyang. Lushan County is located in central Henan, at the eastern foot of Funiu Mountain and the upper reaches of Shahe River in the Huaihe River system. When Little Ant left Luoyi, the capital of Zhou Dynasty, the Emperor of Zhou saw him off and stood at the gate of the city. Emperor Zhou looked at Little Yi and asked, "Sir, I don't know when we will see each other after we leave." Little Yi said, "Emperor, very soon, I will definitely return to Luoyi, the capital of Zhou, in three to five years." The emperor said affectionately: "Okay, I will wait here for your husband to come back." Xiao Yi bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Xiao Yi takes leave." Then he was about to get on the carriage behind him, and the disciples behind him chased him. He stood behind Xiao Yi and said, "Sir, let your disciples accompany you." Xiao Yi faced his disciples and said, "There is little hope of going here. You just stay at home and don't follow them." I'm in a bumpy state. You guys are waiting for me to come back at home." In the distance, Zi Zheng was driving towards me and called out, "Sir, sir." Then he got out of the car and ran up to him, saying, "Sir." The little ant said, "Zi Zheng, sir. ! The State of Qin is eyeing my Zhou family, and is determined to destroy Zhou. Zizheng, you must be careful and don’t give Qin an opportunity to take advantage of it." Zi Zheng said: "Sir, please don't worry, as long as the disciples stay in Zhou At the gate of the capital, Qin soldiers will never be allowed to cross the surrounding area."
Xiao Yi nodded, got into the carriage behind him, and left. Xiao Yi drove into Wei State and came to Lu County. Xiao Yi was walking on the streets of Lu County. He stopped and looked around when he saw an old man asking about Lu Shan's location. Under the guidance of this old man, Xiao Yi traveled all the way to Lushan and stood at the foot of Lushan. If he could not find the descendants of the Huanlong family, he would never return. When it reached the foot of Lu Mountain, it saw that the sky had darkened and only the full moon hung in the sky. The little ant stood on the cliff, looking at the full moon in the sky, missing his home insect. It has been away from home for many days, and I don't know if my houseworm is well, and I have worries in my heart. The clouds are light and the wind is gentle and warm, and the branches of the deep cypress trees are deep. The white jade is bright and cold, and the night is endless. A thatched house was built hastily. Xiao Yi plans to live here for a long time, waiting for the descendants of the Huan Long family to appear.
There are gurgling springs here, and there are secluded shrubs with branches and leaves stretching out. A leaf falls into the stream and flows away like a boat with one leaf. Occasionally, when you have free time, it is considered elegant to compose poems and rhymes. Aren't many literati just like this? The little ants also fell into this habit. Wandering in the mountains and dense forests, I occasionally came across a poem. Or standing on the cliff of a high mountain, where there are rugged rocks, strange peaks, and clouds and mist. The little ant has been here for three full days without any harvest. Sitting in the thatched cottage, drinking water from the mountain spring, it can be seen that this little ant is still determined to wait for the descendants of the Huanlong family to appear.
The weather in the mountains is like a child's face. It was sunny just now and the sun was scorching, but thick clouds were pressing down on the sky. Staying in the thatched cottage, the light in the room was getting darker and darker. Sitting in the thatched cottage, looking up at the sky, the sky was covered with dark clouds and bursts of thunder. Occasionally, lightning flashes through the clouds, the wind gathers and the rain scatters, bending the treetops and swaying. A thunder resounded through the sky, and huge raindrops fell from the sky. The wind blew the rain slantingly. The weather in the mountains is like the sky in June, and the child's face changes at a moment's notice.
The little ant sat in the thatched hut and began to close his eyes and relax, listening to the sound of rain beating through the forest, which was very interesting. At this moment, the sound of dragon roar came from the sky. Xiao Yi opened his eyes and ran out excitedly. He stood in the violent storm and looked up. The sky was suddenly filled with clouds and mist, and it was raining. A dragon soars into the clouds and rolls in the mist. The roar of the dragon shook, as if it was about to shatter the rocks. It was obvious that someone was driving a dragon through the clouds above, and followed the sound of the dragon's roar as it flew away, ending at Funiu Mountain not far away. The little ant ran to the cliff and looked away. Funiu Mountain not far away, it was true that the emperor had paid off. The descendant of the Huanlong family finally arrived, and he shouted excitedly: "Huanlong family, Huan Longshi, I’ve finally waited for you.”
The dragon it saw was the legendary dragon. The legendary dragon is a magical animal that is good at changing, can cause clouds and rain, and benefit all things. It can hide and appear. It ascends to the sky in the spring breeze, dives into the abyss in the autumn breeze, and can stir up clouds and cause rain. It is the head of all the insects, and its four spirits are like the head of snakes, phoenixes, unicorns, and turtles. The head of the dragon is like a camel, the horns are like a deer, the eyes are like a rabbit, the ears are like hands, the neck is like a snake, the belly is like a mirage, the lin is like a carp, the claws are like an eagle, and the palms are like a tiger. There are eighty-one lins on its back and ninety-nine. In the Yang number, the sound is like a rattling copper plate, there is a beard beside the mouth, a bright pearl under the collar, reverse scales under the throat, and a mountain on the head, also known as a ruler. A dragon cannot rise to the sky without a foot of wood, and when it breathes into clouds, it can turn into water or fire.
The little ant had seen the real dragon and ran towards Funiu Mountain. At this time, Xiao Yi walked over mountains and rivers towards Funiu Mountain, and his steps were so brisk. He wanted to reach Funiu Mountain earlier and meet this descendant of the Huanlong family, so he came here in vain and ended up with himself. wish. Xiao Yi stood under Funiu Mountain and saw several Taoist temples on the mountain. He must be a descendant of the Huanlong family. Being able to live in seclusion on Funiu Mountain, he must be a noble person. Shi, that's why Xiao Yi came to visit. The little ants climbed up the white jade steps, which have ninety-nine and eighty-one steps. The little ant raised his eyes and saw that the white jade steps were paved on the steep cliff. If the little ant climbs the white jade steps, it means it is sincere. In order to become a disciple, Xiao Yi has to overcome all difficulties and dangers, no matter how steep the mountain is, to meet the descendants of the Huan Long family, which shows how firm his will is.
Xiao Yi stood in front of the Taoist temple and looked at the Taoist boy standing in front of the gate. Human beings standing in front of it are so huge, like the legendary ones standing tall against the sky and the earth. Xiao Yi looked up at the Taoist boy and bowed in salute. This move attracted the Taoist boy. He leaned down with his huge body, and his pupils were like black holes in the vast universe, as if he was about to suck him in at any time, which frightened the little ant. The Taoist boy extended a finger in a friendly manner and said with a smile, "This is an ant who understands etiquette." The more he did this, the more interested he became. An ant crawled onto one of his fingers. The little ant stood on his finger and asked, "Can you understand what I'm saying?" The Taoist boy said, "Of course you can. This technique was taught by the master. Let me ask you, do you Why are you here?" Xiao Yi cupped his hands in front of him and saluted, "I'm here to worship your husband as my teacher. Please inform me. Xiao Yi is being polite." The Taoist boy agreed happily and said : "Okay, I will take you to see my master." The little ant climbed on the Taoist boy's long sleeves and entered the Taoist temple. Sitting in the Zen room of the Taoist temple was an old Taoist with white hair and beard. He is a descendant of the Huanlong clan, and the technology of taming dragons has been passed down from generation to generation by his ancestors.
