Into Xuancheng Xianxian, From Not Being A Son-In-Law

The book that Xie Chengui specially brought is a bit old, full of signs of wear and tear, and it seems that the paper will be broken with a little force.

Xu Nian gently opened this old book, and what was recorded in the book was an anecdote.

It is said that a snake breeder surnamed Xi once caught a very spiritual white snake in the deep mountains and old forests. He wanted to sell it to the town's gentry for a big silver to spend the winter. Unexpectedly, he fell into a dream that night and dreamed of this white snake. Entering the river to transform the jiao, the white jiao then swims across the river and enters the sea.

At the intersection of the river and the sea, the heaven and the earth come down to the dragon gate, and the white Jiao can transform into a dragon just by passing through the dragon gate.

But in front of the dragon gate, instead of turning into a dragon, Baijiao stopped to transform into a white snake, looking back at the snake breeder, uttering words.

"If you let me into the river, I will repay your kindness after I transform into a dragon in the future, and protect your lineage from now on. Is there any shortage of money for the winter?"

wake up.

The snake breeder was shocked, changed his mind, and put the white snake into the river.

As expected, the white snake turned into a jellyfish in the river, looked back at the snake breeder, and left the river. After that, the storm continued for several months, and on the day when the rain finally passed, there was a gate from Nine Heavens at the intersection of the river and the sea. drooping...

The story in the book is called "The Snake Keeper Let the White Snake Across the River and Cross the Dragon Gate".

As for whether it is true or false, there is nowhere to test.

However, it has been said since ancient times that a snake can transform into a jiao, and a jiao can transform into a dragon. Although there are such sayings, there are different opinions on how a snake can transform into a jiao and how a jiao can transform into a dragon.

It is said that it is like practicing cultivation. When you reach a certain Realm in cultivation, you can become a flood dragon naturally.

But it is also said that not all snakes can turn into dragons, and not all dragons can turn into dragons. It depends on whether there is bloodline of dragons or dragons in the body.

It is also said that chance is the most important thing. If the chance is not enough, the snake will always be a snake even if it practices Thousand Year Ten Thousand Year.

This old book brought by Xie Chengui obviously mentions a new method, a snake can transform a dragon in the middle of the river, swim across the river into the sea and jump over the dragon gate to transform a dragon.

The Dragon Gate often appears along with the legend of the snake transforming into a dragon, but there are different versions of the Dragon Gate in different legends.

Some say it is a secret realm connecting the heaven and the earth, and some say it is the Magic Treasures of immortal gods inherited from ancient times.

It's just that there isn't a single legend that makes it clear where the Dragon Gate is.

On the contrary, in the story of the snake breeder and the white snake, it is rare to point out that when the dragon swims the river and enters the sea, the heaven and the earth will descend from the dragon gate, and there will be an opportunity to transform the dragon.

Xu Nian withdrew his eyes from the old book, raised his head slightly, looked at the gray-haired Xie Chengui, and asked softly, "Patriarch Xie, is it true what is recorded in this book?"

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I dare not speak falsely. However, this book has been collected and handed down by the ancestors of the Xie family. Presumably, it is not all the whims of the author. There must be some basis for it."

Xie Chengui smiled lightly, but didn't finish his words.

The heavy-hearted Yu Yunfang frowned, and suddenly said: "The head of the Cao Gang is called Xi Tiankuo, and the snake breeder recorded in the book is also named Xi... Could it be that Xi Tiankuo is the descendant of the snake breeder recorded in the book?"

Xie Chengui glanced at Yu Yunfang, and just said, "I don't know."

It wasn't that Xie Chengui deliberately wanted to be mysterious like a fortune teller and didn't make things clear, but besides not wanting to get involved too deeply, he really couldn't be sure of the correct answers to the two questions of Xu Nian and Yu Yunfang.

It is just a possibility inferred from known information.

If the Cao Gang didn't have a secret lenient relationship with any prince, but still had the intention of disrupting the situation where the dragon son seized the heir, then the dragon spirit that could carry the fate of the dynasty was equivalent to the threshold for picking a big peach.

Where does dragon energy come from?

Some are from Bloodline, some are from auspiciousness, and some people have grown dragon spirit out of thin air during the conquest of troubled times.

Generally speaking, emperors often have them, but ordinary people don't often have them.

But the dragon aura comes from the dragon in the final analysis. If there is a dragon, the dragon aura will not be a problem.

It's just that this is easy to say, but difficult to do. First of all, where are there dragons in this world? The last time a real dragon appeared for research was already Thousand Years ago.

From a thousand years ago, snakes transformed into dragons can be seen occasionally, but the transformation of dragons into dragons has been reduced to legend.

However, if the method of transforming dragons recorded in this old book is true, looking at the entire Great Yan, apart from the imperial court, who has the most advantage in letting the dragon cross the river and enter the sea?

Undoubtedly, it is the Cao Gang that controls the Dayan River Transport.

Xie Chengui suddenly restrained his smile, and said seriously: "Master Xu, among the anecdotes recorded in this book, which sentence do you think... is the most understatement?"

It's never easy to understate.

There are often extremely cruel things in the history books, but they are taken lightly by a few words or even a few words.

For example.

When you are old and hungry, people eat each other.

If the blood and tears in just six characters are all written, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold 60,000 characters.

This anecdote in the old book is not long, which sentence is understated?

Xu Nian read it back, his eyes fell on the last paragraph, he frowned, and read out: "Storm... for months?"

Xie Chengui nodded slightly: "That's right, the river burst its embankment and flooded the farmland after a few days of heavy rain. If it really lasts for several months, it will not only be the land adjacent to the river that will be affected, but even the dry land will be flooded. I don't know how many bones are floating around."

This emotion caused silence among the crowd, and even Zhang Tiantian stopped feeding the fish.

Xu Nian probably knew it in his mind, and he asked in a deep voice, "Master Xie, does anyone know where there are jiaos around?"

"Not in Tianshui County, but I'm not sure if it's farther away."

Xie Chengui shook his head.

If the Cao Gang really wanted to raise Jiaohualong, it would be impossible to raise it blatantly, it must be hidden, otherwise how could the Great Yan court remain indifferent?

That is to say, the Xie family has a deep foundation in Tianshui County, so Xie Chengui dared to say that there are no Jiao Gang hidden and raised in this county, but outside Tianshui County, the Xie family is beyond their reach.

"Understood, thank you Patriarch."

"It's okay, my incompetent son was in the capital before, and he was able to understand thanks to Master Xu's education. I should thank Master Xu..."

Before leaving, Xu Nian suddenly asked something unrelated to the business.

"Thank you, Master, do you have any recommendations for special snacks that are easy to store in Tianshui City?"

It's all here, why not bring some special products back for Niangqin and Susu to try.

Xie Chengui was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect that he was still talking about the important events of life in the past few months, but he turned around and asked him if he had any delicious snacks.

The topic spanning is a bit big.

However, this middle-aged man, who is not good at cultivating Talent but firmly seated as the Patriarch of the Xie family, didn't show much emotion, so he gave a recommendation with a smile.

"Jam Kee's white sugar cake, although it is not elegant, but the taste is first-class."

"In addition, if Master Xu is not limited to dim sum, in fact, fresh drunk crabs are also quite suitable. It is not a problem to store them in the altar for more than a month, and it is the characteristic of my Tianshui County..."
