It was night in Ningcheng, the lanterns were starting to turn on, and it had rained heavily all day. The streets were covered with rain and there were fewer pedestrians.
"Drive - drive -" On the wet street, a carriage drove slowly from the direction of the city gate. It was Xiao Lan and his party who had returned from Ning'an County. The carriage was at the door of the newspaper office.
"Xiao Zhou, you go back home first and inform my parents that I'm back so they don't have to worry. I'm going to the newspaper office to sort out the manuscript for this time. You can come and pick me up later."
After getting out of the carriage, Xiao Lan said to Zhou Jin who was driving the carriage. Zhou Jin nodded: "Okay, miss, please be careful. I will come back to pick you up later and drive." After saying this, Zhou Jin also pulled the reins.
, drove the carriage away, and Xiao Lan took the two newspaper assistants directly into the newspaper office.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening. Except for the two staff members on duty, there was no one else in the newspaper office: "Miss Xiao" "Miss Xiao is back." When the two people on duty saw Xiao Lan, they greeted Xiao Lan enthusiastically.
Xiao Lan is Xiao Ping's daughter, so in the newspaper office, everyone in the newspaper office is polite and courteous to Xiao Lan.
However, Xiao Lan did not put on airs in the newspaper office because of this, and he worked seriously and treated people politely, so he was well-known and popular in the newspaper office. When he saw the two people greeting him, Xiao Lan smiled and nodded at them.
He nodded and responded politely.
"You two, go develop the photos and then come to me in the office."
Afterwards, Xiao Lan gave instructions to his two assistants, and he went into his office alone and began to prepare this time's press release.
"Lin Tianqi." After writing less than half of the manuscript, Xiao Lan suddenly stopped writing. He looked at the three words Lin Tianqi on the manuscript, pondered for a while, thought about it, and then erased the three words Lin Tianqi with his pen, and thought for a while.
Said: "It's better not to write out their detailed information, otherwise it may cause them a lot of trouble. Let's replace the name with Lin Xiaodao."
Xiao Lan keenly realized that if the detailed information of Master and Disciple Lin Tianqi was written in the newspaper, it would probably bring them a lot of trouble. After thinking about it, even if the information such as the address of Master and Disciple Lin Tianqi was canceled, it would be written in the manuscript.
He made a plan and changed Lin Tianqi's name to Lin Xiaodaozhang instead.
However, after writing the words "Lin Xiao Daochang", Xiao Lan couldn't help but think of the bald image of Lin Tianqi in her mind. She couldn't help but smile on her face. The more she thought of Lin Tianqi's bald image, the more she thought about it.
Laugh, such a handsome man turned out to be bald.
"I don't know how Ms. Zhou would feel if she saw that her brother Lin, who she had never forgotten, had become bald."
Xiao Lan couldn't help but think of Zhou Xiao, the eldest lady of the Zhou family who had such a good figure that all women were jealous of. She knew that this young lady of the Zhou family had been obsessed with Lin Tianqi since her last visit to Ningcheng. If Zhou Xiao saw
With Lin Tianqi's bald look at this moment, she felt that Zhou Xiao's look would definitely be exciting and interesting.
But then, Xiao Lan fell silent again. She thought about the news she heard some time ago. The Zhou family seemed to intend to marry Zhou Xiao to a young master in Tianjin and marry into that big family in Tianjin. This made her think
Will I have the same result in the future?
"No matter what, I will never marry someone I don't like in the future. I am a human being, not an object."
After a long silence, Xiao Lan finally made up her mind secretly in her heart. She is a human being, a living person, with her own thoughts and choices, her own pursuits and preferences. She must never become a tool for marriage and be arranged to marry by others.
A person I don’t like or even have never met.
Not long after, the two assistants knocked on the door and walked in, holding in their hands the developed photos they had taken when the dragon came out during the day.
That night, Xiao Lan printed the manuscript and photos he had written in the newspaper and made them the headlines of tomorrow's newspaper.
The next day, a new issue of Ningcheng's newspaper came out, causing an uproar in an instant.
"My God, there really is a dragon."
"Are the photos in this newspaper real?"
"It's true. People who came back from Ning'an County have confirmed it. What the newspaper said is absolutely true. It's really a dragon. Everyone who was in Ning'an County at that time saw it."
"The dragon came out of its cave and caused a huge flood. I heard that the entire Ning'an County has been flooded. Fortunately, Director Lin had warned the people in Ning'an County to hide in the mountains in advance and transport food, livestock, etc. to the mountains. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
.”
"People who heard it back said that the dragon was as big as a hill, and when it raised its head, it was dozens of meters high. Oh, it was so scary."
"The dragon head, snake body, and eagle claws, except for the dragon horns and whiskers, are almost the same as the legendary real dragon. This is definitely a dragon."
"I heard that the dragon was finally defeated and sealed by Master Lin and his disciples. Is it true?"
"How can it be false? Tens of thousands of eyes saw it with my own eyes in Ning'an County, and I was also there."
"Let me tell you, that battle was simply shocking. At the beginning, the dragon set off a huge wave. Master Lin and his disciples joined forces to split it with their swords, and cut out a sword light more than ten meters long. The entire flood was
He was directly split open by this sword. Later, the dragon hid in the water, and Master Lin's apprentice attracted thunder..."
"If I hadn't been there in person at the time, it would be hard for me to believe that such a thing would have happened."
"But in the end, the dragon was not killed and hid in the Hidden Dragon Cave again. Although the two Master Lin were powerful, they could not kill the dragon. In the end, they could only seal the dragon in the Hidden Dragon Cave.
But according to Master Lin's wishes, the dragon can only be sealed for a hundred years. After a hundred years, it will no longer be suppressed and will come out again."
"Oh my God, it will come out in a hundred years. What will happen then? Who will be able to subdue the dragon then?"
"Who knows this? Who can control what will happen a hundred years from now? Not even the two Master Lin can do anything about it."
"That little master Lin said at that time that matters a hundred years from now should be left to the people a hundred years from now to handle."
"That's right. A hundred years from now, we people will have long been turned into loess, and it will have little to do with us."
"Isn't it just that after I die, I won't care about the floods."
"............"
One morning, the news about Ning'an County Jiaolong exploded throughout Ningcheng. This matter had been aroused some time ago, but due to the lack of strong evidence, most people were still skeptical. But this time it was different. Not only Ningcheng's
It was reported in the newspaper, accompanied by photos, and confirmed by countless people who came back from Ning'an County.
Now, even people who no longer want to believe it are forced to believe it.
All the witnesses and physical evidence are there, the evidence is as solid as a mountain, and everyone is shocked.
.............................
"The specific thing is like this. The dragon was truly astonishing. It was more than thirty or forty meters long. In the end, Master and Disciple Lin Daozhang used the ancient sword to pierce its body with the power of thunder to defeat the dragon, and then sealed it in Ning.
In the Hidden Dragon Cave in An County, I heard from Taoist Lin that the seal can only last for a hundred years..."
In the Xiao family hall, Zhou Jin, wearing a dark green military uniform, spoke respectfully.
On the sofa in front of him, there is a middle-aged couple sitting. The man is wearing a suit, handsome and majestic, with a tall and straight posture. The woman is plump, tall, mature and charming. She looks somewhat similar to Xiao Lan. It is Xiao Lan.
His parents are his father Xiao Ping and his mother Li Lixiang.
Zhou Jin reported to the two of them and elaborated on what happened in Ning'an County. Xiao Ping was sitting there with a thoughtful look on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. Li Lixiang covered her mouth with her hands, showing a look of shock.
"Okay, I understand, please step back first."
Finally, when Zhou Jin finished speaking, Xiao Ping pondered for a moment, waved his hand to dismiss Zhou Jin, and then fell into deep thought again.
"Lantian Town!? Lin Tianqi, the master named Lin..."
His expression flickered, and Xiao Ping muttered to himself, firmly remembering the name of this place and person.
