Fish scales are also bone scales.
As the body grows, it becomes stronger with age. It is said that it becomes stronger with time.
No one in the world has scales, but fish scales are an extremely unique species.
Besides fish, there is only one other kind of creature.
The genus of the dragon!
All things are born, and all things are equal.
Humans are divided into gods, gods, humans and mortals, and animals are also divided into divine beasts, spiritual beasts and mortal beasts.
The dragon is a spiritual beast
If a dragon passes through the heavenly tribulation after five hundred years, it will transform into a dragon, and by then it will ascend to heaven and earth, becoming omnipotent!
It takes a thousand years for an anaconda to become a dragon. Those who can live for a thousand years are only a few kinds of big snakes, and this white snake is definitely not one of them.
However, this white snake is turning into a dragon at this moment!
It’s for enlightenment!
The Qi Refiner refines the Qi of heaven and earth to learn the way of heaven and earth.
This is what is called, changing destiny against nature and taking away the merit of creation!
At this time, the white snake's whole body was covered with cracks, and a vast and vigorous breath came out from the cracks, as if there was a hint of fragrance, and there was a slight flow of brilliance at the cracks.
Its figure seemed to be slowly getting bigger, and its originally dull "hissing" sound became clearer now.
The waves on the sea became more turbulent at this time, the waves crashed on the shore, and the mist rose into the sky.
The colorful light in the mist becomes brighter and brighter, and there are mountains emerging from the sea, misty and hazy, like a fairyland.
There are shadows and shadows, as if there are pavilions, towers, eaves and brackets, which are not like the human world.
Strange scene, mirage!
This dragon appears, it can make clouds, and if it encounters water, it can spread rain!
but……
Qin Tian glanced at the sky. It was still clear and cloudless.
Smiling slightly, the snake turned into a dragon. Although it was permitted by heaven, it would still be punished by heaven.
Because enlightenment is a person with great supernatural powers who understands the heaven and earth and forcibly uses the sound of Tao to open up his spiritual wisdom!
Therefore, this white snake’s calamity is inevitable!
With White Snake's ability at this time, it is absolutely impossible to withstand the catastrophe.
After all, under the heavenly tribulation, one must either have a high level of Taoism and be able to directly resist the heavenly tribulation, or one must have great merit and virtue in order to offset the crime of disrespecting God, so that the power of the heavenly tribulation will be reduced.
And what merits does this white snake have?
However, Qin Tian already had a suspicion.
The white snake turns into a dragon, and it has its own calamity.
The dragon can move through clouds and spread rain when it encounters water. The white snake is young, so naturally it cannot move many clouds, but the calamity cloud is so big that it can cover the sky and the sun!
This is the coast of the East China Sea, with abundant water vapor.
It happens that Langya County is suffering from drought at this time, and countless people will die of hunger.
If we can use the power of heavenly calamity to cause clouds and rain to bring life to all people, it will certainly be a great merit!
In addition, Qin Tian protected and preached from the side.
The catastrophe is easy to pass!
…
On the rocky beach, the white snake is turning into a dragon.
In the distance, in front of the altar, the rain praying ceremony has also progressed to the next step.
On the low altar, a blazing fire was already burning. Several village elders sat aside and threw the big fish as a sacrifice into the fire.
At this time, Young Duan was holding clay and other objects in his hands, painting an earthen dragon in front of the altar.
The earth dragon is three feet long and looks very simple. It lies on the ground with its teeth and claws spread out. Shao Duan carefully smeared the earth dragon's body with white clay.
In the north of Langya County, there is a big river named Guaishui, and Yishui is a tributary of Guaishui. The reason why glue got its name is because the mud in this river is like glue and white in color, like paste. Later generations called this mud Guanyin soil.
The earth dragon painted white looks much more sacred. The young man holds his breath and concentrates, with a pious face, while the surrounding villagers are also kneeling on the ground, not daring to show their anger.
When a child moved, a village elder covered his mouth and slapped him away. A whimpering sound was heard, and several village elders glared at him.
The young man didn't look sideways. He painted the earth dragon with cinnabar and nodded his eyes. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
After scanning the surrounding villagers, Young Duan sighed secretly in his heart.
Praying for rain is an extremely sacred thing. The so-called major affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military service!
It means that sacrifice is as important as fighting. If sacrifices were made in the past, the entire Langya County young and strong men would come out in droves to collect firewood within a radius of dozens of miles so that the bonfire could be seen even from the sky. See.
In addition, a hundred-foot earth dragon must be built. After all, the bigger the earth dragon is, the better it can make rain.
What a grand occasion that is?
Unlike now, there are only dozens of old people and young people with yellow hair. A pile of earth dragons is only three feet in size, and one of them almost died.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the stone road construction site in the distance. Langya originally had a palace, which was the palace of the ancient Yue Kingdom. However, Li Si said that this was the residence of the king of the subjugated country, and it was unknown, so he ordered the construction of a new palace.
In addition, it was also said that the First Emperor wanted to go to Langyatai to worship the gods of the four seasons. As a sign of piety, he had to use white stones as a road for seventy miles from the palace to Langyatai.
Especially for the ten miles near Langyatai, gravel should not be used, but large stones should be used.
The young men were working hard day and night, and just after they had built the palace, they were forced to go to the mountains to collect white stones and carry them to build roads.
I heard that Xishan has been mined, and Baishi needs to be brought from thirty miles away.
For thirty miles, I carried heavy rocks on my back and faced the scorching sun. Many people were crushed to death by huge rocks on the road.
Just now when Young Master led people to pray for rain, he happened to see a stone bearer fall to the ground, crushed by a huge stone, his sternum was broken, struggling desperately, shouting for help, his voice was short like a jackdaw's night cry, and he died in a moment. , only the hands and feet are still twitching.
Because of his unkempt hair and dirty face, he no longer looked like a human being. The young man never recognized who he was, but he thought he was a son, a husband, and a father!
Shaoduan was not in charge of the county's population register, but according to the county magistrate, more than 30% of the young men had been lost due to the urgent urging of Tingweisi!
Thirty percent!
The weather was cool before, so they lost 30%. Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter. After the stone road is built, how much of the young people in Langya County will be left?
I heard that the First Emperor has passed away and may enter Langya today.
I also heard that the First Emperor came all the way to punish lawless people, put an end to injustice and punish those who had been wronged.
However, even if the First Emperor is here today, can those who were crushed to death by huge rocks, exhausted from building palaces, and killed by the sun survive?
Moreover, sowing does not just require rain, but it takes a few days after the rain for the ground atmosphere to recover before sowing can be done.
All the young people in the county are building stone roads, and they rely entirely on women and children to sow the crops.
Although the farming season is only five days away, if it doesn’t rain today, this year will be over!
As for worshiping heaven...
is that useful?
If God is unkind, what will happen to us, Li Yuan?
Langya suffered from drought last year, but it was not severe and the farming season was not delayed. Therefore, although the harvest was slightly reduced, people were still able to survive.
Last winter, Shao Duan led the people of Langya County to offer sacrifices to the gods of the four seasons, praying for good weather this year.
As a result, since the beginning of spring this year, there has not been a drop of rain!
However, leading a group of old men and young men to pray for rain is the only thing that Young Duan can do!
He suddenly let out a loud roar: "Dance!"
More than 20 young children came out shivering. They all had bark masks on their faces, looking a bit ferocious and yet a bit cute.
There was a dull sound of "ding", but a village elder rang a small bronze bell in his hand, and the children on the field also began to surround the altar under the command of the village elder and began to do various things. The child is ignorant.
According to etiquette, praying for rain requires a yellow bell and a big bell. However, Langya County was poor and no one present was qualified to use such ritual vessels, so they could only use copper bells instead.
The young children are playing the role of mountain ghosts at this time. This is the so-called Nuo dance. Nuo dance originated from the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, the common ancestor of China, and was a national ceremony of the Zhou Dynasty.
The Emperor Zhou performed Nuo dance sacrifices every year to regulate the yin and yang of the four seasons, so as to ensure the harmony of cold and heat, good weather, abundant grains, safety for people and animals, and prosperity for the country and people's livelihood. In this way, it became a common practice to pray for rain.
The children didn't know how to feel sad. They were a little shy at first, afraid of the mountain ghost masks on each other's faces. However, after a while, the childlike innocence gradually emerged, and they began to play and play in an innocent and innocent way, almost like a mountain ghost.
However, no one was enjoying the children's Nuo dance at this time. The village elders all looked at the young man with worried faces and some expectancy.
Young Duan also took a deep breath. He suddenly stepped forward, raised his hands above his head, waved his sleeves reverently a few times, and threw himself into the dust.
"Shangxie!" He said in a stern voice.
"If the government is not disciplined, it will make the people sick. Why is it so bad that there is no rain?"
His voice was slightly choked.
"You are respected in the palace. Women pay homage to you. Why is it so extreme that it doesn't rain?"
The young man continued to pray to the altar, filled with grief and anger.
"When the buds are traveling, the slanderers are flourishing. Why is it so extreme that there is no rain?"
The young man was already in tears.
Oh my God!
Is it because the political affairs are not in order, causing the people to suffer so much?
Why has the drought and no rain reached such an extreme level?
Is it because the palace is tall? Or is it because only women’s words are used? How come the long drought without rain has reached such a state!
Is it because of the prevalence of bribery? Or is it because of the rise of clever talkers and slanderers? Why is God so cruel and ruthless, and there is no rain in the drought?
This was originally a regular prayer when praying for rain, but it seemed to be inexplicably appropriate when reading it at this time, making the young man uncontrollably sad.
This may be a punishment from heaven!
…
On the stone beach, the white snake is turning into a dragon, strange scenes occur frequently, and thunder disasters are coming; under the Langya Terrace, the young man is praying for rain.
At this time, a dragon boat was slowly moving forward on the Yishui River.
The dragon boat is magnificent, three stories high, like a moving palace. It has become a trickle of Yishui, and it seems that it cannot bear it.
On the shore, there were more than a thousand bare-backed folk who were pulling the thick ropes forward under the scorching sun. However, no matter how hard they tried, the dragon boat still moved forward inch by inch at a turtle speed.
There is no way, the dragon boat is too big, and the Yishui River has been cut off this year. Even though canals were dug upstream, water was diverted from other rivers, and the force flowed downstream, it was only possible to ensure that the dragon boat could barely float.
At this time, the bottom of the dragon boat has been plowed into the mud, and the turned-up white mud is clearly visible.
Two teams of well-organized military formations were rushing along the shore with the dragon boats. At a glance, they showed that they were at least tens of thousands of people.
There is only one person in the world who deserves to enjoy this kind of lineup, and that is the First Emperor!
At the top of the dragon boat, there is a lobby, which is as magnificent and magnificent as the Qin Palace, but it only lacks the nine jade steps.
At this time, the First Emperor, wearing a black dragon robe, sat cross-legged next to a desk.
The person sitting next to the First Emperor was a middle-aged man. The latter had a beautiful beard, bright eyes, a broad face, and a graceful look with waving sleeves.
It is none other than the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Tingwei Jiuqing, Li Si.
The First Emperor was reading the bamboo slips, while Li Si sat on his knees with lowered eyebrows and said nothing. There was silence in the hall.
"Prime Minister!" A hoarse and deep voice suddenly sounded, it was the First Emperor.
"Here you are!" Li Si Yingying bowed down, her movements pleasing to the eye.
However, the First Emperor obviously didn't care about Li Si's salute at this time. He put down the bamboo slips in his hand thoughtfully, looked at the direction of the dragon boat along the wide open hatch, and said hoarsely: "You must rectify the injustice." What happened?"
"Report to the First Emperor that he will stay in Langya for three months, and he will resolve hundreds of unjust cases and capture more than 1,300 alchemists, all of whom will be killed!" Li Si's voice was clear and clear, and his courtesy was formal.
"In a small Langya County, there are hundreds of unjust imprisonments, but local officials are in a fish and meat village?" The First Emperor's eyes fell on Li Si's face like lightning.
"Please tell me, First Emperor, that local officials are to blame. However, the chief culprits are the alchemists!" Li Si lowered his eyebrows and looked down.
"Alchemist, hum, alchemist!" Although Li Si never finished speaking, the First Emperor also knew that he was hiding his own fault.
He stood up irritably and walked around on the smooth floor with his bare feet.
"All the alchemists, immortals and the like will die!" he said viciously.
"But..." The First Emperor's voice suddenly dropped, and he only said one word and then stopped speaking.
Although Li Si was prostrated, his eyes were burning.
As the Prime Minister of the First Emperor, he was very good at figuring out what the First Emperor wanted to say, so he naturally knew what the First Emperor wanted to say.
The First Emperor of the Sixth Dynasty unified the six kingdoms and conquered the world. He was the sage king who opened up the world.
However, even if he is a holy king, he is still a human being, not a god!
Although no one in the world dares to say how long the First Emperor lived, and those who dared to speak out have long been beheaded, everyone in the world actually knows that the First Emperor is nearly half a century old.
Those who are half a hundred will live a long life!
This is true whether compared to the common people or to the previous kings of Qin!
Moreover, although the First Emperor had never taken the elixir of immortality made by the alchemists, no one knew what he did when he lived with the alchemists in the 270 Palace Temple. However, Li Si was also a learned man, and he could also see that. , the First Emperor must have taken pills!
Otherwise, the First Emperor would not have aged so quickly, not to mention that he was already moody at this time!
"Your Majesty," he said sternly, "the theories of immortals and alchemists are all illusory!"
"In ancient times, there were so many princes, kings, and even members of the emperor. Ancient books clearly stated that there were those who rode a crane to the west, there were immortals, and there were even those who transcended the world and became saints."
His tone paused slightly, and then he continued: "Now that our Great Qin has unified the world, where are these people?"
"Another example, it is said in ancient books that beyond the sea of Langya, there are fairy mountains."
He bowed respectfully and said clearly: "Of course, Wei Wei Jie has been to the land of Langya for more than a few months. Si Yi has been stationed in Langya County for more than a month. He has gone to sea several times, but how has he ever discovered the so-called fairy mountain?"
"..."
There was no sound, and Li Si was a little surprised. Why didn't the First Emperor respond to him?
He secretly raised his head, only to see the First Emperor looking blankly to the east, with a look of ecstasy, surprise and shock on his face.
What happened, and why did the First Emperor get into such a state of affairs?
"Si!"
Just when Li Sibai was puzzled, the First Emperor was already overjoyed, his voice was full of exclamation, and he called him softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing anything.
"Come and see if this is a fairy mountain? Are there any immortals here?"
"Immortal mountain? Immortal?"
Li Si didn't know what was going on. He walked to the side of the First Emperor on his knees and followed the First Emperor's gaze...
The next moment, he suddenly froze and his expression changed wildly!
In the distance ahead, I saw a mountain standing in the sky, misty and hazy, with brilliant colors, and five colors of brilliance coming out of the mountain.
It seems that the legendary fairy mountain has really come to the world!
