Chapter 903: The Story of Bilbo and the Old Man and the Sea
The name of Dongfang Jade is the Dragon Slayer. He was the one who killed the evil dragon Smaug. What was Smaug? He destroyed the dwarf empire of Lonely Mountain alone and occupied the great treasure of Lonely Mountain alone so that no one dared to covet it.
existed, but was killed by Dongfang Yu, which shows Dongfang Yu's reputation, and his name has been praised by bards.
One is very powerful, being the being who killed the evil dragon, and is also a friend of the elves of Mirkwood, the dwarf empire of Turin, and the gray robe wizard Gandalf.
Secondly, Dongfang Jade appeared mysteriously. He claimed to be from the far east, but he disappeared mysteriously. No one knew his traces for decades. Therefore, combined with the above, Dongfang Jade appears to be very mysterious in this plane.
.
Frodo has heard from his uncle Bilbo Baggins since he was a child that the legendary dragon slayer Dongfang Jade once came to this home and lived here. Bilbo has always regarded this incident as the most praiseworthy thing in his life.
, so Frodo also grew up listening to the legend of the Oriental Jade, and he also regarded this matter as a source of pride for conversation.
Although it has always been regarded as bragging, Frodo himself believed it deeply.
However, when the character he had been describing in his mouth actually appeared in front of him, standing in front of him alive, Frodo's eyes widened, as if Mr. Ye was like a dragon and he was a little unbelievable.
Dongfang Jade actually appeared? And it also appeared in Shire, in his own home? Could such a young person be the legendary dragon slayer?
"Yes, I am Dongfang Jade." Hearing this, Dongfang Jade looked at Frodo, smiled and nodded.
For Frodo, Oriental Jade's senses are also very good. As the protagonist of The Lord of the Rings, Frodo's character is also worthy of admiration. Although in the original work, he also failed to resist the temptation of the Lord of the Rings at the end. However, God
How many people can resist its temptation? Even if you don't have the power of the dragon vein to suppress the erosion of the Lord of the Rings, you wouldn't dare to use the power of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, right?
"You are Dongfang Yu, so you are Dongfang Yu, the dragon slayer?", his eyes widened, Frodo looked at Dongfang Yu, a little incoherent, like a star he admired suddenly stood alive.
It's the same in front of me.
"Yes, I am. Now you know why I believe your words and think you are not bragging, right? Because I am Dongfang Jade, because I did stay in your house for one night." Looking at Frodo, he looked dumb.
Looking at herself with a pink look, Dongfang Yu said with a smile.
"Great, great, I'm not bragging, and my uncle isn't bragging either. Dragon Slayer Dongfang Yu really lived in our home, and he is also living in our home now. Great, I, I want to take this
Tell Sam and Pippin something and they go...".
He walked down from his seat with an excited expression, and after spinning around for a few times like a headless fly, Frodo seemed to remember and happily opened the green-painted round door and ran out.
"This child..." Looking at Frodo's appearance, he really had no etiquette at all. Bilbo originally wanted to scold him a few words, but thinking about how his companions had said that he was bragging over the years, he even refused to accompany him.
He played with him, and now he finally had a chance to clear his name. It was understandable that Frodo would react like this.
"Let him go. I came back this time and I didn't think about hiding my identity." Looking at Frodo's back running out happily, Dongfang Yu said with a smile.
, Yes, it is not a shameful thing for me to return to this plane. Maybe I will go find Gandalf, Thranduil of the Dark Forest, or even Thorin of the Lonely Mountain.
His identity was about to be exposed.
"Come back? Mr. Dongfang, where have you been in these years?" After hearing Dongfang Jade's words, Bilbo obviously realized the meaning of his words and asked, looking curious.
"Yes, I went to a very far away place, a place that I can't even reach in my lifetime." Dongfang Yu nodded and said, traveling through time and space, there is indeed no place more distant than this.
"Is there a place that I can't go to in my life? Is there such a place? I really want to see it, but it's a pity..." With a look of longing in his eyes, Bilbo immediately looked much darker and said: "It's a pity that I am
Now that I am old and unable to walk, even if I want to go out for adventure and see the outside world, it is already too late."
"As long as you have a dream, it's never too late." Hearing this, Dongfang Yu smiled.
Seeing Bilbo's adventurous life, because of his intervention, he could only regret his cowardice in his youth when he was old. Dongfang Yu also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. After thinking about it, she said: "Bilbo, I will give it to you again."
Let me tell you a story. The name of this story is "The Old Man and the Sea".
The story of the old man and the sea can be said to be a very inspiring story. It tells the story of a fisherman. When he was young, he was very strong and could fish well. However, as he got older, he stopped catching fish for a long time.
At that time, many people in the village said that he was old and could no longer catch fish.
However, the old man still persisted and never gave up. Finally, one day later, he successfully caught a very big fish.
Because of his age and strength, the old man relied on his own faith and fought with the big fish for several days and nights before he successfully caught the big fish.
To put it bluntly, this story is very simple and not spectacular at all. However, this simple story contains something that is enough to touch people's hearts.
If young people hear this story, they may not be too emotional. However, the older they are and the more experienced they are, the greater their reaction to this story will be and the more they will feel it.
Touch the heartstrings.
As the saying goes, young people should not read Red Mansions, which means that it is best not to read Dream of Red Mansions when you are young, because this book has a great impact on young boys and girls who are just starting to fall in love. Coupled with the plot of the story, many people will be addicted to it.
It even feels like seeing through the world of mortals...
Another example is Stephen Chow's masterpiece "Westward Journey". You watched it when you were young and laughed out loud. Then you watch it after you have had some experience. It's bittersweet. Finally, you watch it when you have experienced a lot and are emotionally scarred. Maybe it was so-called back then.
A comedy that in your eyes will turn into a tragedy that will make you burst into tears.
This is the story of the old man and the sea. The old man who has been persisting and struggling silently can even make many people have a sense of resonance. A story, at different stages, will have completely different experiences. This is
The real charm of a story.
Sure enough, this story was very touching to Bilbo, who was over a hundred years old, especially in his current state. Dongfang Jade's story made him stare wide-eyed and dumbfounded. His mind seemed to be spinning at this moment.
I was inspired by the old man in the story who was unmoved by others and kept silently persevering.
Dongfang Yu looked at Bilbo's appearance and smiled inwardly. She didn't say anything more and just waited quietly.
After a while, I saw Bilbo stood up suddenly, his mental state became very energetic, and said loudly: "Mr. Dongfang, you are right, as long as there is a dream in your heart, you will not
Night".
"It was because of my hesitation that I missed the opportunity of my youth. I regret it now, but now I can still walk and run. If I hesitate again, I will be unable to move when I am old. I am afraid that in the future
Lying in bed, I will regret my hesitation today."
At this point, Bilbo seemed to have made up his mind and said: "I want to go out! I want to go out for adventure! I want to see the colorful world outside! I must go out, Mr. Dongfang, you are also an adventurer, if not
If you don't like it, can you take me with you to see the colorful world outside?".
"Huh?" Bilbo's words made Dongfang Yu slightly startled. Dongfang Yu didn't expect that Bilbo would actually want to follow her after he made up his mind to go out for adventure.
To be honest, Dongfang Yu really didn't have the habit of letting others follow her. However, when she was in the Hobbit's plane, she had robbed Bilbo of his opportunity. It was up to Bilbo to revive his spirit and want to go out for adventure.
After flirting with her, now that she has made up her mind and wants to follow her, how can she say no to her?
Trigger the task, which requires leading Bilbo to travel in Middle-earth for at least half a year. If the task is successful, you will be rewarded with 5 crystal points. If the task fails, there will be no penalty. Accept/reject?
At this moment, Dongfang Yu suddenly had a realization in her heart. Sure enough, when the mission in the original plot starts and she needs help, it is very likely that the mission will be triggered, because it is not something she promised to do, so this
Acceptance of tasks is not compulsory, and there is no penalty for failure.
After thinking about it, Dongfang Jade took on this task, which meant that he would be rewarded with 5 crystal points by following him by his side for half a year. This was already worth it.
What's more, even if there is no such mission, Dongfang Jade will not necessarily refuse Bilbo. A drop of water will repay him with a spring. After all, when he was still weak, Bilbo, a newcomer, even entertained him with food.
"Okay, Mr. Bilbo, if you don't mind it, you can follow me from now on." After making up his mind and accepting the task, Dongfang Yu said to Bilbo.
"Really? That's great." Hearing this, Bilbo said with great energy.
Being able to go on an adventure with the dragon slayer Dongfang Yu is definitely an honor worth remembering for the rest of his life.
Bang bang bang...
At this time, a series of dense footsteps sounded, and Frodo also came back with several hobbits of the same age from the Shire Village with an excited expression.
