"Let me tell you, it's a blessing in disguise. The wall of this rammed earth fortress is so thick that the snake can't get in even if its bones fall apart. Now we are only safe for the time being. As long as the snake doesn't die, it will never be safe."
Geda's words came at the right time. The snake had suffered a big loss here, and now they were probably thinking about how to get rid of the iron hook. They had to think of their next move to prevent the snake from coming back.
"But the key point is, what is this thing? It actually understands the principle of war and deceit. Isn't it really a dragon that is about to become a master?"
Mr. Cat recalled the frightening moment just now. This dragon snake had no ambiguity in eating people, and its majestic appearance was undoubtedly that of a divine dragon. When he thought about the Qingqiu sacred tree they saw, he had to think about the Qinglong guarding the tomb. If it is really a thousand-year-old dragon, it is only different from the real dragon in the sealing ceremony.
"I think this thing is not a dragon or even a dragon!"
As soon as Song Siyuan's opinion came out, everyone was attracted to it. Mr. Cat looked at the wealthy daughter with extremely curious eyes:
"Song Qianjin, you guys have to relax, but it's not such a lenient approach, right? Deer antlers, sheep's whiskers, snake belly and fish scales, what are they if they're not dragons?"
Song Siyuan knew that no one believed it, so she calmed down after coughing a few times and became serious:
"It's the Salamander!"
This statement was indeed new, and everyone gradually surrounded Song Siyuan, wanting to see how she would explain it.
"It is true that this dragon snake has antlers and scales, but these do not mean that it is a dragon. Did you know that there is something called a newt?"
Everyone had obviously never heard of this kind of creature. Song Siyuan continued to explain:
"The cave salamander generally lives in underground caves and feeds on mayflies, fish and shrimps in the rock formations. It looks like a slender snake, but has flexible limbs, webbed claws, and a layer of down from its head to its tail. , if the antlers grow again, it will be exactly the same as what we see, but the longest cave salamander in this rock formation is only one meter long, and its eyes have degenerated and cannot see."
Mr. Cat rolled his eyes and was quite suspicious: "But the dragon snake in front of us is more than ten meters tall, so it may not be the same creature?"
Song Siyuan continued to explain: "The ordinary cave salamander is indeed different from the dragon snake, but I believe that it must be due to some secret techniques that have changed the behavior and appearance of the cave salamander."
"What do you mean?" Yue Guanchao recalled the black catfish, and his eyes lit up: "Yin corpse fish!"
Song Siyuan saw that Yue Guanchao and her thoughts were gradually synchronized, and her eyes showed appreciation:
"Yes, since Haidong Shenghuang can raise black catfish through corpse mushrooms, he can naturally feed other beasts through this method. In this way, the Bohai royal family including A Yin Zun should have mastered some ancient catfishing skills, and can Taming wild beasts for one’s own use is also consistent with the history of the Bei clan. The human-faced spiders, black rats, and ghost-faced owls we encountered in Wu Coffin Village are probably the result of the ancient art of feeding!"
"Shu Shu? Song Qianjin, you have to explain it carefully~"
Yue Guanchao understood that to deal with the snake, he had to know what it was, and Song Siyuan's words were very important.
Song Siyuan nodded towards him:
"Yes, I used to think that black catfish were aquatic animals raised by the Chao family, but there were a lot of strange things involved along the way. I think the Chao family only played an execution role in this process, and they are best at using snakes, insects, rats and ants as weapons. , except for the Gu people in southern Xinjiang, only the Sushen ancestors of the northern tribe are left."
In the Natural History of Haidong Shengguo, the story of Du Zuorong, the first lord of Haidong Kingdom, was recorded.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty treated the Mohe tribes by appeasing them if they were obedient and exterminating them if they were disobedient. This was a plan to divide the Mohe tribes. At the same time, as long as the Mohe tribe surrendered, they would be closely guarded immediately and told to do only A mere commander cannot mobilize a single soldier.
Da Zuorong had long seen the purpose of the Tang emperor's actions, and led the Black Water Mohe to resist the Tang state. At that time, he was weak and out of troops, and the tribes were also at odds with each other. Under the pressure from both parties, Da Zuorong could not resist effectively at all. , and could only be chased and beaten by Tang soldiers.
He led the Blackwater Mohe to resist in the white mountains and black waters for several years. Except for the decrease in the number of tribesmen, nothing has changed. If this continues, their tribe will die before the Tang generals come.
This situation lasted until he was chased to the Black Water and crossed the river, and the war situation turned around.
Historical records show that when the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty saw that Da Zuorong was about to return to the old land of Blackwater, they followed him closely and followed Da Zuorong's tribe into the river to cross the river.
Who would have thought that when a ship enters the river, it will immediately capsize and be swallowed up by the turbulent undercurrent. They asked a wizard to perform divination, and then they discovered that there were several pythons that turned into dragons in the black water, making waves on the water.
Since then, the Tang Dynasty generals' plans to cross the river and annihilate the Mohe tribe have been put on hold again and again. Da Zuorong's tribe relied on this time to regroup and gradually gained the upper hand in the war against the Tang Dynasty!
Because this story involves Da Zuorong, it was edited into the character chapter to show the power of the first ruler of Haidongsheng to spread the story to the present. Most of it was considered by historians, and it has the same meaning as Liu Bang's killing of the white snake. Mythical color.
However, it is mentioned above that when Da Zuorong was about to be defeated, he once prayed to his ancestors with the rituals of the Bei tribe. The ancestors appeared in dreams and told him that he could use the skills of the Mohe ancestors to overcome the difficulties. Only then did he remember to use the ancient pigs of the Bei tribe. technique.
"I estimate that the ancestor's dream is a lie, but Zuorong's use of the ancestor's forbidden technique is true!"
