449 The Fourth Son of the Dragon, Pu Lao

448 Long Sizi Pulao

Liu Juan did not expect that in addition to King Pihan, King Pishu, and King Bichen, there would be such a man in black from Zhanhu Hall.

As the man in black pursued, his expression changed slightly. He felt that inside Liu Juan's body in front, a huge demonic power was gathering crazily, getting stronger and stronger! "What the hell is going on!!" The man in black

He took a breath, with shock in his eyes.

Liu Juan circulated the demonic power in his body, and in an instant, his cultivation reached the fourth level of Heavenly Demon in a crazy climb! It didn't end. The moment his cultivation level reached the fourth level, his cultivation level increased sharply, and he had

An unimaginable change occurred. With a bang, his whole body emitted white light. At this time, the light in Liu Juan's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the world.

The man in black immediately stopped, his face was extremely gloomy, and he was about to retreat, but his eyes were fixed and he looked forward.

I saw that Liu Juan's wild laughter was still echoing the moment he rushed out of the light ball, and a majestic force emitted from his body. Although it was not as powerful as himself, it was still powerful.

It was like a strong storm of demonic power, permeating all around, and the center point of the storm was Liu Juan! "The man in black, die!" Liu Juan laughed wildly and stepped forward,

But the man in black was looking into the distance. Liu Juan felt the huge power behind him and turned back to look into the distance. Unexpectedly, a large amount of mist emerged from there, drifting slowly, as if for eternity.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, with no sound coming out. The depths of the world were all shrouded in this mist. There was no end. On this day, the mist suddenly started to fluctuate slightly. The fluctuations were still weak at first, but in an instant

, then became violent.

The fog is rolling and surging, as if there is a huge thing twisting inside. At this moment, if you look down from above, you can clearly see that all the fog within a radius of 100,000 miles is rolling violently, as if

Angry waves surged in all directions.

As the fog dispersed, a huge whale-like thing was seen looming in the fog. This thing was so big that at a rough look, it was probably no less than tens of thousands of miles long.

As soon as its body moved, the surrounding gray mist surged in all directions.

On the head of this thing, there are no eyes, only a big mouth slowly opened at this moment, and a thick gray mist spurted out the moment it opened its mouth. The man in black and King Bihan, King Bishu, and King Pi

King Chen was blown away by the monster's breath.

"Damn it, the roc is back again. No, what is this, a snake? No, what the hell is this?"

Pulao, the fourth son of Shenlong, whom Liu Juan saw, gave a systematic introduction: Shenlong gave birth to nine sons, and each of these nine sons had different looks, temperaments and hobbies.

prison cow

boss

Prison Niu is the eldest of the nine dragon sons. He loves music all his life and is the docile among all the dragon sons. He is neither bloodthirsty nor ruthless and specializes in music. Legend has it that Prison Niu, with a dragon head and a snake body, has a very good ear and can

To distinguish the sounds of all things, it often squatted on the head of the violin to enjoy the music of plucked strings, so its portrait was engraved on the head of the violin. This decoration is still in use today, and some precious huqin heads are still engraved with the image of a dragon head.

It is called the "Dragon Head Huqin". This musically gifted Dragon Son not only appears on the Han people's Huqin, but also on the Yi people's dragon-headed Yueqin, the Bai people's three-stringed qin, as well as some Tibetan and Mongolian qins.

It shows the image of a prisoner cow raising its head and opening its mouth.

睚禦

Second child

Yaizhen is the second child. It is said that he was born with the head of a dragon and the body of a jackal. He has a fierce personality, is aggressive and likes killing, and is the god of war of the dragon. The ferocious eyes of Yaizhen when he is angry are also used by the ancients to describe "glaring with anger", "Historical Records"

Sima Qian's evaluation of the passage "Fan Ju's Revenge" is that "the kindness of a meal must be repaid, and the grudges of Yaju must be repaid." Therefore, the idiom "Yaiju must be repaid" was born. Yaju likes to kill, so the ancients often carved it on the blade of their swords.

The joint between the body and the handle adds to the intimidating power. It is not only decorated on the weapons of famous generals on the battlefield, but also widely used on the weapons of ceremonial guards and palace guards, making it even more majestic and solemn. Because emperors

Believe that Ya Can can defeat all evils.

Chao Feng

The third child

Chao Feng, who looks like a beast, is the third child. He was fond of both danger and hope. The beast on the corner of the hall is his portrait. These beasts are arranged in a single line, standing upright at the front of the vertical ridge. The leader of the beasts is a bird rider.

"Immortal" is followed in order by: dragon, phoenix, lion, Pegasus, seahorse, Suan Ni, Xiu Yu, Xie Zhi, bullfighting, and Xingshi. Chaofeng is the second one. There is a strict hierarchy for their placement.

Only the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City in Beijing can have all ten of them. These 10 mythical beasts mean "perfection", and the number of secondary halls should be reduced accordingly. Chaofeng not only symbolizes auspiciousness, beauty and majesty, but also has the ability to deter demons.

Eliminate the meaning of disaster. The placement of the mocking wind makes the shape of the entire palace both strict and varied, achieving the harmony of solemnity and vividness, the unity of grandeur and exquisiteness. It adds a mysterious atmosphere to the towering palace.

But Chaofeng itself is a collection of disasters. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and heavenly flames are all the power of Chaofeng. Legend has it that Chaofeng is the heart of Pangu. Its shape is often used as decoration on the corners of the palace. The placement of Chaofeng makes the entire palace more beautiful.

The shape is both strict and varied, achieving the harmony of solemnity and vividness, the unity of grandeur and exquisiteness. It adds a mysterious atmosphere to the towering palace. Four quotes from "Yuanjian Leihan·Linjie·Long" (Ming Dynasty Chen Renxi)

"Qian Que (Ju) Lei Shu": "Dragon gave birth to nine sons,... he mocked the wind and was fond of danger, and he stood on the corner of the palace."

Pulao

Fourth child

Pulao, shaped like a coiled dragon, ranked fourth. He sang and roared all his life. The dragon-shaped animal button on the bell is his portrait. It turns out that Pulao lived by the sea. Although he was the son of a dragon, he was always afraid of the huge whale.

As soon as the whale attacked, it was frightened and roared loudly in an attempt to drive the whale away. According to its "good nature to sing" and "every bell wants to make a loud sound", people cast Pulao as a bell button.

The wooden pestle used to ring the bell was made into the shape of a whale. When the bell was struck, the whale was allowed to hit Pulao again and again, making it "ring into the sky" and "unique and distant". Today, almost every ancient bell in the country has

Pulao is everywhere on the street.

Suanni

Lao Wu

Suanni, also known as Jinni and Lingni, looks like a lion and ranks fifth. Although it looks fierce, it likes silence and does not like to move. It likes to sit and likes fireworks. Therefore, it is the foot decoration on the Buddha's seat and the incense burner. It is said that the Suan Ni decorated on the Buddha's seat was introduced to China by Indians in the Han Dynasty. By the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it had been widely used in Buddhist art in my country. This style was created by Chinese folk artists. It has a traditional Chinese style, and later became the Dragon Son's Lao Wu. It is mostly placed in front of statues of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas sitting in lotus position or cross-legged. Stone lions or bronze lion collars around the neck during the Ming and Qing Dynasties The dragon-shaped decoration in the middle is also the image of Suan Ni, which makes the traditional Chinese door lions guarding the gate more open and majestic. Suan Ni also serves as the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva. Today, in Mount Wutai, the dojo of Manjushri Bodhisattva, there are still worshipers from the ancients. The temple of Suanni is also known as the "Wuye Temple" because Suanni ranks fifth.

Overlord

Baxia, also known as Bixi, looks like a turtle, Lao Liu

He was Lao Liu, who was fond of carrying heavy loads throughout his life and had great strength. The tortoise under the monument is his portrait. The first legend is that in ancient times, Ba Xia often carried three mountains and five mountains on his back, making waves in the rivers, lakes and seas. Later, Dayu conquered it when he controlled the floods. It obeyed Dayu's command, pushed mountains, dug ditches, and cleared rivers, making contributions to flood control. After the flood was controlled, Dayu was worried that Baxia would go wild again, so he moved a huge stone tablet that stood tall and engraved on it was "Baxia Controls Floods". The deeds of Ba Xia were carried on Ba Xia's back, and the heavy stone tablets made it unable to walk casually. Ba Xia and tortoises are very similar, but there are differences upon closer inspection. Ba Xia has a row of teeth, while tortoises do not. Ba Xia and tortoises do not. The number and shape of the armor on the carapace are also different between species. Baxia, also known as the Stone Turtle, is a symbol of longevity and auspiciousness. It always raises its head forward with difficulty, holding on with all its four feet, struggling to move towards You move forward, but you can't move away. The bases of some of my country's most prominent stone monuments are carried by Ba Xia, which can be seen in the Forest of Steles and some historical sites.

The second legend is that the dragon sons once descended to earth to help Zhu Yuanzhang conquer the Ming Dynasty. But when they were about to return to heaven to revive, Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son Zhu Di, who later became the founder of the Ming Dynasty, did not want to let them go, so he said to Ba Xia: "You

If you can carry Emperor Taizu's merit monument, I will let you go back." Ba Xia agreed without knowing it was a plan, but he didn't know that after carrying it on his back, he could no longer move - because his merits are immeasurable, Ba Xia was suppressed by his merits from then on.

Under the monument.

狴犴

Biuan, also known as Charter, is shaped like a tiger and is Lao Qi. It was prone to litigation but was also powerful. The tiger head-shaped decoration on the upper part of the prison door is his portrait, Lao Ba.

. Legend has it that Piran is not only eager for justice and speaks out for justice, but also can distinguish right from wrong and make impartial decisions. In addition, its image is majestic. Therefore, in addition to being decorated on the prison door, it also crouched on both sides of the lobby of the government office to express its views.

Criminals are extremely intimidating. Whenever the chief executive of the Yamen sits in the court, there is an image of him on the top of the chief executive's title card and the silence card. He looks around and looks around to maintain the solemnity and uprightness of the court. The gate of the ancient prison

The prison is engraved with the head of a tiger, so the prison is also commonly known as "Tiger Head Prison" among the people.

Negative

Fuxi, with a body like a dragon and a head like a lion, is the eighth eldest son. He is good at writing all his life. He is another one of the dragons who likes elegance - he loves calligraphy.

The Wenlong figures on both sides of the stele are his portraits. my country's stele tablets have a long history and are rich in content. Some of them are simple in shape, smooth and bright, and can be discerned by light; some are exquisitely carved, with graceful characters and vivid writing. ; There are also stone carvings of poems and articles by famous people, which are popular among the people and have been praised throughout the ages. But Xiangxi likes this kind of inscriptions that shine with artistic brilliance. He is willing to turn them into patterns and dragons to set off these handed down literary treasures and decorate the base of the stele more elegantly. Beautiful. They are entangled with each other and seem to be slowly squirming. Together with the base of the base, it is even more spectacular.

Chi Kiss

Laojiu

Chiki, also known as owl tail, is said to have the head of a dragon and the body of a fish. Its shape first appeared in the "Bai Liang Hall" built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, some ministers suggested that there is a fish in the sea with a tail like an owl.

It is an owl, which can spray water and rain, so it is better to put its image on the palace to protect the palace from fire. Emperor Wu agreed. When the palace was completed, the officials rushed to ask what was on the ridge of the palace. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not know what to do.

In response, he named it "鸱tail" because of its tail that looks like an owl. Later, it gradually evolved into the homophonic "Chi Kiss". It is also said that around the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Indian "Moji Fish" was introduced with Buddhism.

.It is the object under the seat of the God of Rain in the Buddhist scriptures, which can extinguish fire. Therefore, the chi kiss was transformed from this, so it is often placed at both ends of the roof ridge to eliminate disasters and extinguish fire. The dragon-shaped spine-swallowing beast is Laojiu,

He had a loud mouth and was fond of swallowing all his life. The scroll-tailed dragon heads at both ends of the palace ridge are his portraits. "Taiping Yulan" has the following description: "In the important meeting of the Tang Dynasty, after the disaster in the Liang Palace of the Han Dynasty, Yue Wu said, 'There are fish and turtles in the sea.

, the tail is like an owl, and the strong waves make it rain, so I made it like it on the tail to hate the fire." The "Witch" mentioned in the article is the alchemist and the like, and the "Yu Qiu" is the predecessor of Chiki. Chiki is of water nature.

Use it as a sedative to ward off fire.
