After reading his information, Yang Mu admired him quite a bit.
This man is a top expert in history and cultural relics, but he is not a weak scholar, but a veteran who has killed hundreds of enemies in the war years!
It's a pity that time is like a knife, no matter how heroic a character is, he will gradually wither.
Today, He Qianfan is an old man in his nineties with white hair, but his passion for history and cultural relics remains the same as before.
Under the guidance of the nanny, Yang Mu and Long Qi soon met this old man who was a legend in his study.
The old man, like the previous experts, knew that the two people in front of him had surprising origins, but his attitude was not at all nervous or curious, and was so calm that it could be said to be indifferent.
When Yang Mu and Long Qi entered the room, the old man put down an ancient book in his hand, pushed up his reading glasses, and looked at the two of them.
"Where's the ring? Bring it to me to see."
He got straight to the point and was very straightforward, as if he wanted to send Yang Mu and the two away quickly and continue reading.
Based on his experience, there are very few cultural relics that have been unearthed in the world that he can take seriously.
"You two are chatting with Teacher He first. I'm going to cook. Why don't you just stay together later-"
The nanny was a short, middle-aged woman who was very friendly and kind. She smiled and wanted to invite Yang Mu and the two of them to have dinner here later.
She has been taking care of He Qianfan's daily life for more than 20 years. She is no different emotionally from He Qianfan's juniors. She was extremely happy to see two guests finally coming.
He Qianfan interrupted: "Xiao Xu, I'm in a hurry to go back later, so I don't have time to stay here to eat with us! Besides, what we eat is simple food, and these young people who are spoiled nowadays are not used to eating at all!
"
Yang Mu secretly thought to himself, if you don't want to treat me, just don't want to treat him. He just pretends to be a pampered person, making him seem to be very rare to eat here.
He looked at the nanny and declined politely.
The nanny left with a disappointed look on her face.
Then, Yang Mu very simply raised his right hand in front of the old man: "That's the ring on my hand!"
He Qianfan frowned and said dissatisfied: "Take it off!"
Yang Mu smiled and said: "Old man, if you think you can take it off, why don't you try it?"
He Qianfan was stunned and looked at the ring on Yang Mu's hand carefully. He found that the dragon engraved on the ring had protruding teeth and claws and bit into Yang Mu's flesh. He was stunned again.
"interesting!"
He seemed to have finally gotten interested, showing some excitement. He took the magnifying glass and carefully looked at the ring on Yang Mu's hand.
Only ten seconds passed before I heard him say: "Hey, the dragon engraved on the ring is exactly the same as the one on the "Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor Riding the Dragon Ascending to Heaven" that I have seen before."
Yang Mu and Long Qi looked at each other with a bit of joy in their eyes.
This last expert currently feels more reliable than the previous ones!
Yang Mu spoke immediately and told the other party that he had learned about this matter from a previous expert.
But so far, this is all they have learned.
He Qianfan studied it for a while, then raised his head and said to Yang Mu: "What is so special about this ring? Can you tell me about it?"
Yang Mudang told the other party that he had something important that was automatically put inside the ring and could not be taken out at the moment.
He wasn't worried at all that the other party could steal his ring, so he didn't mind telling the other party. The only thing he was worried about was that the other party wouldn't believe what he said.
After all, the ring can store things inside, so it doesn’t sound like it’s true!
He Qianfan looked shocked after hearing this, but did not say that Yang Mu was talking nonsense.
His expression became even more excited, he pondered for a few seconds, and said to Yang Mu:
"What is engraved on this ring is a yellow dragon! The yellow dragon is a symbol of ancient imperial power. The dragon robes worn by the ancient emperors and the dragon statues in the Forbidden City today are actually engraved with yellow dragons."
Yang Mu's eyes lit up, waiting for the other party to continue speaking.
He Qianfan said: "It is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that the dragon that Huangdi Xuanyuan rode when he flew into the sky was Yinglong! This Yinglong is a terrifying beast in mythology, or in other words, a ferocious beast! Huangdi Xuanyuan was able to defeat Chi You back then.
It depends on this terrifying Yinglong!
In "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness Bei Jing", there is a record: "Yinglong has killed Chiyou and Kuafu, so he went to the south, so it is rainy in the south." The biggest feature of Yinglong's appearance is that he has two wings.
, so it’s easy to separate from other dragons!”
Yang Mu felt his head was a little confused: "Uh, what you mean is that Huangdi Xuanyuan rides a Yinglong, but the one on my ring is a yellow dragon without wings. In other words, the dragon on my ring is not the same at all.
Xuanyuan Huangdi has nothing to do with it?
That’s wrong! Didn’t you say it yourself, the dragon on the “Picture of Emperor Xuanyuan Riding a Dragon Ascending to Heaven” is exactly the same as the one on my ring?”
He Qianfan explained: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Huanglong is Yinglong, and Yinglong is Huanglong!"
Long Qi interjected: "But you said it yourself, they have different shapes. Yinglong has wings, Huanglong does not, how can they be the same mythical beast?"
He Qianfan showed a smile: "That's true. Therefore, there is no absolute conclusion as to whether Huanglong and Yinglong are the same existence!
What I’m telling you next is my personal guess. According to my research over the years, Huanglong and Yinglong are indeed the same mythical beast!
This mythical beast is more terrifying than we imagined. It is not comparable to the dragons in mythical stories that were suppressed and beaten by Nezha and Sun Wukong.
If not, there is no way to explain its ability to kill Chi You and Kua Fu successively and reverse the general trend of the world! The reason why Huang Long and Ying Long have huge differences in appearance is because the mythical beasts have two different forms!"
Yang Mu narrowed his eyes and asked curiously: "From your tone, old man, it seems that the things in the fairy tales may be true?"
He Qianfan pushed up his reading glasses and said with a faint smile: "The older I get, the more I realize my ignorance. In these years of research, I have been exposed to some incredible things. It is clear that the world is not as beautiful as we see it."
Simple.
However, if you are just an ordinary person, it is okay to regard some things as myths. As for whether I believe that the things in myths are true, I can only say that I believe it, but not completely!"
Yang Mu was startled, and then he laughed.
I didn't expect that I could meet someone here who had the same thoughts as me.
In his eyes, the so-called myths are basically false!
It is an exaggeration based on reality and fabricated through countless years of false rumors.
But among these fabricated myths, there may be 10% or 20% true!
This is what is called faith, but it is not complete faith!
It's like he doesn't believe that there are any immortal gods in this world, but he believes that human beings may become flying beings and escape from the earth!
For example, a cultivator in the snake and dragon realm!
"Mr. He, when you told me about the relationship between Huang Long and Ying Long, it shouldn't just be to popularize knowledge in this area for me, right?" Yang Mu said.
He Qianfan nodded and said: "I have read some incomplete records before. According to my speculation, the mythical beast had been in the posture of a yellow dragon before seeing the Yellow Emperor. It followed the Yellow Emperor and then showed the posture of a dragon."
He looked at the ring on Yang Mu's hand.
"Perhaps, what you need to do is to make this ring truly recognize you. In that case, maybe the dragon on the ring will change and you can take out what's inside!"
Yang Mu couldn't wait to ask: "Then what should I do to make it recognize me?"
