When the old patriarch found out about it, he was furious, biting off more than he could chew that it was ominous, and forcing the couple to jam the baby to death immediately.
A few days later, the wife got out of bed and went to the lotus pond to wash rice, and suddenly saw her son swimming from the lotus bushes to the stone port, asking his mother for milk. The mother always loved her son, so she picked him up and fed him. In this way, she panned the rice three times a day and fed her son three times. One day, two days, and so on, for three hundred and sixty days, her son grew up, but he took on the appearance of a dragon.
The news reached the ears of the old patriarch, who, knowing that the strange creature had grown up instead of being stuck, was so enraged that he came up with a poisonous plan to slaughter it.
One day at noon, the old man hid a machete beside him and secretly hid in the bushes by the pool. When the woman was panning for rice, she saw a baby dragon swim ashore to ask for milk.
When the old man saw this, he raised his knife and cut, and the little dragon jumped into the lotus pond. But it was too late, the knife, the little dragon's tail cut down, all of a sudden blood dripping. It just happened to stop a beautiful big butterfly in the pool, the butterfly saw the little dragon victimized for no reason, no tail, the heart is very sympathetic, immediately flew over to the body with their own body to catch on its tail, and then turned into a beautiful dragon tail.
Just at this time, the wind was strong, dark clouds rolled, full of lotus flower petals have been swirling up, that dragon all of a sudden grew to more than ten feet long, suddenly leaped up from the pool, the body inserted full of lotus flower petals, straight to the sky to soar away.
The old man, when he saw the momentum, was so frightened that he fainted and died. As soon as Xiao Long's mother saw her son flying into the clouds, she called Xiao Long three times with tears in her eyes, but Xiao Long had already flown away without a trace.
Since then, whenever there was a drought on both sides of the Camas River, the little dragon would fly in to send down clouds and spread rain, so that the townspeople could have a good harvest. In order to thank it, the people around Changxing used colored cloth to make lotus petal dragon scales and butterfly dragon tails, making the famous "Hundred Leaf Dragon" in Changxing, and every year in the Spring Festival, people would dance the dragon to commemorate and celebrate the occasion.
2. There is a bay on the west coast of Zhoushan Island called Cengang. Cengang has a high mountain, mountain water pouring down, as if a hundred feet of white cloth hanging in the cliff
on the spectacular. Year after year, at the foot of the ridge washed out a deep rock pool, called "Longtan".
Legend has it that long ago, there was a white dragon in the pool. Whenever there was a drought, the white dragon sucked the water from the East China Sea and turned it into sweet rains
falling down, which made the villages in a radius of dozens of miles have good weather and good harvests every year. People remembered the White Dragon and called him "Cengang Bai
Lao Long".
One year, there was another drought, the white dragon was about to suck water to rain, but the Jade Emperor listened to the Dragon King of the East China Sea's greedy words, descending
decree, not allowed to go to the East China Sea again to suck water. The old white dragon had to swallow his anger and return to the dragon pool. Along the way, only to see the harvest beans and peas withered and scorched, everywhere
ground raw in-laws, the heart of the good not pathos. Between a walk, suddenly ringing in the ear a cry, look closer, is a young woman
draped in hemp, is kneeling on the hot sand, facing the sea howling. Bai Laolong was saddened to hear this, so he went up to her and asked:
"Why is your sister-in-law crying here?"
The woman wiped her tears and saw a white-bearded, white-haired, kind-looking old man looking at her with concern, and her heart was
warmed, so she cried. It turned out that the woman named Qinglian, dead parents since childhood, by the brother and sister-in-law, married to a lonely boy,
couple very loving. Who knows that good times do not last long, the two married less than half a year, it happened to this drought season. The two of them were in the middle of a drought, and they had no hope of getting out of the fields.
The husband invited the townspeople to go fishing in the sea.
White old dragon heard very sympathetic, sighed and said: "Sister-in-law do not be too sad, since ancient times, people can not be resurrected.
If you don't mind,
I would like to help you catch fish for three years."
Qinglian was stunned, panicked to collect her tears and said, "This ...... how can this make! As the saying goes, 'there is no wind in the sea three feet of waves', you are so big
How can you stand it at such a big
age!"
White old dragon stroked his white beard and said, "Sister-in-law feel free to rest assured, the old man has his own reasons."
Qinglian saw that he said sincerely, secretly muttered in her heart: "Look at his appearance, 80% is also a disaster. Why don't I
accumulate some Yin virtue and take him in." So said, "I grew up without a father and mother, let me recognize you as my father!" The said
and was about to kowtow.
White old dragon heart so like, busy reaching out to help her up, said with a smile, "Qing'er do not need to be polite, the old man is worthy of it!"
That night, the white old dragon by starlight clanking hands to repair the boat. Qinglian went home, took out a dustpan of glutinous rice, according to
Bai Lao Long's instructions, made a basket full of glutinous rice blocks. The next day dawn, Qinglian with the basket to the beach, look left and right, but
not find the broken boat, the heart is anxious, suddenly heard someone call her, fixed his eyes to see the white old dragon sweating from a brand new
boat climbed out of the boat, only to know that their own broken boat has been repaired, the heart is both happy and thankful, and busy to meet up and said: "Dad hard < /p>
la!
La! Quickly eat!"
Bai Lao Long ate the glutinous rice cubes, brought a few fishermen, and went out to fish on the same day. The fishing boat sailed away from the harbor like an arrow, and within a
quarter of an hour it arrived at the East China Sea. The white old dragon instructed the fishermen to cast nets, but he himself rested on the cabin board "holler holler" dozed off.
He was snoring and sweating at the same time, and huge beads of sweat were pouring out from his forehead, wetting the surface of the cabin. The fisherman was surprised
but he didn't dare to wake him up. Not long after, the snoring stopped, and then I heard him shouting with a dreamy sigh, "Quickly raise the net! Quickly rise the net!"
The fishing
worker heard the sound, rushed to the boat along the pull up the net.
Strange to say, a few people pulling a large fishing net, but like pulling a silk thread as light. Pull, pull, pull out of the sea
Surface, it is a net full of yellowtail, stripes of gold shiny, tail alive and jumping. The fisherman was pleasantly surprised, busy yellowtail into the cabin
. But the three cabins were full, and the fish in the nets were not yet finished. The fishermen looked at me, and I looked at
you, and they were stumped.
In the evening, the fishing boat returned. Qinglian was overjoyed to see that he had caught so many yellow croakers! The old white dragon smiled with his white beard and agreed to do so.
From then on, the white old dragon led the group to get up in the morning and in the dark to catch fish. Each time the sea is full of return, catch up the fish and
big and fat, the townspeople's life day by day better and better.
Six months passed. One day, the white old dragon again led the group to go out to sea. Qinglian prepared the glutinous
mixed rice at home, and went to the beach to wait for the boat to come back as usual. She waited and waited until the sun set and the moon rose, but no fishing boat returned. Qing
Lian hungry and tired, leaning against the reef to doze ......
Suddenly, she looked at the emaciated face of the righteous father came hurriedly, full of grief and indignation, said to her:
"Qing'er, I'm leaving, you take care! If you miss me, look for me under the Cengang Ridge, where nine feet by six feet
of white cloth hangs in front of my house." Saying this, he floated away."
Qinglian went up to pull, but flung herself away. She woke up with a start and realized that it was a dream. Suddenly, only to see the sea whistling
The fierce wind pushed a small mountain of big waves come overwhelmingly. How strong this wind was!
It blew all the pilings off the shore and broke the hardest reefs. Qinglian stared blankly at the raging sea, thinking
To his husband's misery, immediately the face of the self, shivering, to the vast sea and sky lost their voices and cried.
Day after day, until the morning of the eighth day, the sea only calm, but the good-hearted white old dragon but never came
to. Remembering what White Elder Dragon told her in her dream, Qinglian decided that she would go down to Cengangling to look for her righteous father. She made a basket of glutinous rice cubes, which Bai Lao Long
loved to eat, and said goodbye to the townspeople and went on her way.
Walking day after day, after a village after a village, finally came to the Cengang Ridge, lifted his eyes to look, only to see the vastness of the field, where
there is a family? The first time I saw this, I was a bit scared. The first time I saw this, I saw a stone pool at the foot of the ridge, with a 100-foot waterfall hanging above it,
like a piece of white cloth floating in the air. Qinglian hurriedly put down the basket, took out the glutinous rice block to the pool.
Throwing for a while, calling out for a while, the pool suddenly flooded with a wave, the water slowly revealed a pair of dragon horns.
Qinglian was startled, but heard a voice from the pool, "Qing'er don't be afraid, I am your dry father."
Qinglian heard this and cried sadly: "Father, why have you become like this?" White old dragon said: "I was originally a white old dragon here, I can't imagine that this time to help the people fishing, and offended the Dragon King of the East China Sea, in front of the Jade Emperor, said that I mutilated the water tribe, disturbing the Dragon Palace, the Jade Emperor descended down to the crime, the copper in the Dragon Pool in which I was banned from being free." Qinglian heard: the heart is extremely angry! At once wipe dry tears, indignation sighed; "Alas! Why the hard-working people instead of suffering, good hearted instead of sinning it? Such an unfair world, what's the point of living!" After saying that, she poured all the glutinous rice pieces into the pool and jumped down herself. Qinglian jumped into the dragon pool, and became a green dragon, followed by the white old dragon hidden in the clear water of the pool. Later, the local people, in order to commemorate their memory, set up two societies: one called the White Dragon Society, and the other called the Green Dragon Society. Every three years there was a small meeting, and every twelve years there was a big meeting. Out of the meeting, people beat gongs and drums, carrying the beautiful shape of the green and white two dragons, through the village tour of the countryside, very lively.
