Volume 3, Dragon Plains Ancient Land_Chapter 96, clues in mythological stories
There was silence in the research meeting, and no one took my words as a joke, especially when I wasn't joking. I stood up and said, "I need your help, Gu Long is not a pure monster, from our Chinese point of view, they belong to demons. It's just that I haven't learned the ability to transform yet. But intelligence is not weaker than that of humans. There are two things that need to be done by you, according to the characteristics of the ancient dragon, the first is that it needs a place with high temperatures but very safe and comfortable, not too far from the river, this place will be used as its lair, this place must not be too small, because it needs to store its huge body and the treasures it has plundered. Second, it has a great love and attachment to things like gold or precious stones, and of course beautiful women. I need you to help me sort out whether there have been any consecutive cases of attacks on ore processing plants in the recent period, and if so, sort them out immediately. ”
"They asked if they were going to report it to the Metropolitan Police Department? It means whether or not to call the police. Xiao Dong asked.
I smiled and said, "If you want to, you can call the police, but I advise you, the ancient dragon's scale armor bullets can't penetrate the fire and burn it, the ancient dragon has a thousand years of wisdom, and now it has just woken up and may not have adapted to this world, and when it adapts to today's society, that is the beginning of the disaster." Even if you use thousands of tons of explosives, you won't be able to kill it, if you're willing to blow up your city. After finishing speaking, I was about to take people away, and before leaving, I suddenly stopped and said, "Xiao Dong, you can help me translate, and ask them to sort out the strange things in Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Kyoto and other places in the last three hundred years that are best related to dragons and bring them to me." ”
It is not difficult to find this ancient dragon, how can such a large monster disappear without a trace in the most densely populated city in the world, it may be able to hide itself for a while, but this big stomach king always has to eat, and as it forages more and more times, its whereabouts will be revealed sooner or later. What I really care about is how to catch it with as little damage as possible and find a way to rescue the rich daughter safely. To know how to defeat this ancient dragon, I must first know why an ancient dragon born in Romania landed on Mount Fuji? What defeated it or what pushed it into a deep slumber?
The hotel we stayed in was quite high-end, and the treatment was much better than the treatment of staying in a guest house in China in the past. At night, Xiao Dong took us around a little in Tokyo, Japan, and went to the Tokyo TV Tower, where Ginza closes early at night. Japan is full of places to drink and eat at night, of course, Kabukicho Fat Man and Luo Qiong want to go, but it's a pity that there are two girls with them, and one of them is the sweetheart that the fat man likes.
After returning to the hotel, everyone rested. I looked at the brightly lit Japanese night view outside the window, and to be honest, I didn't think much of the beautiful night view of Tokyo was when I was used to seeing the night view of Shanghai, but maybe I stepped out of the country and felt like I really saw the world when I went abroad. The feeling of wandering in my heart, as if stepping out of the house and seeing the vast world, fluctuates.
"Is it this land of projectiles that once almost took over our land of China?"
In the past wars, Japan was doomed. I often wonder if it was the bite of this long and narrow snake in Asia that forced our sleeping dragon in China to wake up. Although the bite was painful, the dragon woke up because of the pain, rose because of the pain, and because the pain would one day stand on top of the world.
"It's kind of interesting for a descendant of a dragon to catch a dragon from the West in a foreign land."
The Japanese were quite efficient, and the stories about dragons in myths and legends over the past three hundred years were sent one after another the next afternoon. Xiao Dong and some language students at the University of Tokyo were in charge of the translation, and although there were many inaccuracies, it did not affect the integrity of these myths, and myths were not accurate things in the first place.
"It's time to start!"
One afternoon, everyone began to read and analyze these myths and stories, and after an hour, Luo Qiong couldn't sit still, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Shan, what can be found out from these stories?" ”
"Find out how that ancient dragon called Agni came to Japan." I didn't look up.
"So what if you know how it came to Japan? Any help? He asked puzzled.
I smiled and said, "We only know that it is an ancient dragon born in Romania and has practiced for nearly a thousand years, and we don't know anything else. We must know more about this ancient dragon called Agni, and the more we know, the better it will be for us to capture it. Stop talking nonsense and keep watching. ”
In the evening, after a few people shared the information, I sorted out everyone's findings and concluded: "Now we have a lot of mythological materials at hand, but I have sorted out and analyzed them a little, and there are a few coherent stories that are very suspicious. This is a mythical story that has been handed down almost 280 years ago. Not very long, the story begins with a farmer's observations. The farmer drank too much at night, and as he walked in the fields, he saw a violent light in the sky, and he thought it was dazzling, but as the light got closer, he felt that the heat of his surroundings was getting higher and higher. Eventually, he saw an object resembling a large cloud of fire flying swiftly above his head, eventually disappearing into the distance. If we understand that this cloud of fire is the Flame Dragon, then this is the first time it entered Japan, and it was seen and recorded by a farmer in the dark of night. Then there is the story that there was a gentry in Odawara, which is now near Hakone Fuji, which means rich man. This gentleman had a beautiful daughter, who was famous far and wide. Many people wanted to marry him, but the gentry were very demanding, and even the children of the daimyo would not want to marry his daughter if they did not have a noble character and good looks. But one night, it was very late, but the whole mansion of the gentry was suddenly illuminated by a strong light, and he came out of the room in a panic, and saw that the flowers and plants in the courtyard were withering in an instant, and then a huge black shadow snatched his daughter and flew to the sky. I don't say what this black shadow looks like here, but I guess that if this black shadow is a fire ancient dragon, then it is normal and reasonable that it attacked the house of the gentry for the sake of a beautiful woman, and the flames on its body burned the flowers and plants in the courtyard. Then there is the third story, which follows from the previous one, about the daughter of the gentry at that time who was actually secretly in love with a brave young hunter, but did not dare to tell her father, so she secretly dated each time. But when his daughter was captured, Hao Shen organized a lot of search and rescue, and this young and brave hunter also hid his identity among the crowd. Soon it was discovered that there were youkai living on the mountainside of Mt. Fuji, and it was this youkai who captured the daughter of the gentry. So the gentry offered a reward, and whoever could defeat the monster and bring back his daughter would give half of his wealth to the man, and give his beautiful daughter to the man as his wife. No matter what status or identity the person is. In the end, Orion defeated the youkai and brought his daughter back, changing his fate and becoming a winner in life. ”
Speaking of this, I stopped, and the fat man hurriedly asked, "It's a very ordinary mythological story, does that mean that the monster that Orion defeated is the Flame Ancient Dragon?" ”
I nodded and said, "Probably, but the question is that an ordinary young hunter, how did he defeat a centuries-old ancient dragon?" Blind cats aren't so lucky to hit dead rats, huh? ”
"Myths and stories, inaccurate, are all made up." Luo Qiong waved his hand and said.
I smiled and said, "If it's made up, then why should I pick it out and tell you." My guess is that this Orion is not really a Orion, and the myth says that this Orion is two meters tall, handsome and strong, and has a smile as bright as the sun. I don't think anyone with this look is a mortal, in the era when Japan was full of dwarfs and Japanese invaders hundreds of years ago, a two-meter hunter? Oh, it can't be, so I conclude that the Orion in this myth may not be an ordinary person, but some god or demigod. ”
