The evening in the mountain village was extremely quiet. Even the dog did not like to bark at this time.
Xu Yunfei and Xiao Ji only ate some porridge at night. Xiao Ji's only entertainment at night was listening to the small radio.
Turning on the light, Xu Yunfei had nothing to do. He found the white paper with the words on it and sat in front of the round table to meditate.
First, he read it twice from beginning to end, as if he had comprehended something.
He picked up a pen and divided the unpunctuated text into four sentences, as follows:
The universe is desolate,
The stars are like cattle and sheep.
Holding my long sword,
Guarding my ranch.
East of the Ying Sea,
The black dragon soared.
I brandish my long sword,
Slaying demons and slaying dragons.
The dragon wears armor and scales,
The treasured saber was hard to break.
Straight to the mouth of the dragon's mouth,
Strike him in the heart.
Black Dragon was injured.
Scales flew in the air.
I'm looking for his trail,
The dragon will perish.
Black dragons have meat,
I'll eat it myself.
I'll leave my strength to my descendants,
Follow my will.
Black dragons drown in the pool,
It's golden.
My children and grandchildren
Bathe him like soup.
The black dragon has saliva,
Its color is like black.
My children and grandchildren
Drink it like a spring.
Black dragon has tears,
Colourless and odorless.
My children and grandchildren
He drank it and went to bed.
Black dragon has spirit,
Dripping water turned into ice.
My children and grandchildren
The body is light.
Black dragon has blood,
It can ward off all evil.
My children and grandchildren
Li Rong entered the cave.
Black dragon has marrow,
An exotic fragrance assailed his nostrils.
My children and grandchildren
It's sweet.
Clear and bright in the great void,
Infinite Transformation.
My children and grandchildren
It was endless.
With the whole world in mind,
Keep to the truth.
To sacrifice myself for justice,
Descendant of the Dragon.
This was actually a four-character poem?
This narrative poem could be said to be very imposing.
Xu Yunfei read it softly, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
After calming down, Xu Yunfei immediately had many questions in his mind.
"Who wrote this poem?"
This was the first question that came to Xu Yunfei's mind.
He carefully thought about the content of the poem. The matter described in the content seemed to be related to the legend of the village.
Liu Xiaoyu's father had told her that in ancient times, a dragon had appeared in the mountains and stayed in the village. It had even left behind a spring, which was why the village was called East Dragon Spring Village.
The events described in this poem were very consistent with the legend. However, judging from the meaning of the poem, the dragon should have left behind a lot of things.
"Descendant of the Dragon. Oh, right, the words carved on the saber are the last four lines of this long poem. Is there a relationship between the saber and the poem? Could it be that the saber he had obtained was the treasured saber that this hero used to slay demons and dragons?”
"The belt is the scabbard, and these words are inside the belt. This belt was passed down in his family. Could it be…could this hero be the ancestor of the Xu family?”
Thinking of this, Xu Yunfei's mind was muddled for a while. Then he shook his head and thought,""How is this possible? How can this be true?"
"Dragons are just animals in myths!”
Xu Yunfei read the long poem carefully again. The content was not difficult to understand, but the things described were too unbelievable.
The first line of the poem was " The universe is desolate."
What period was that?
Could it be the era when Pangu created the world?
Pangu's creation of the world was a myth without any scientific basis. Moreover, at that time, humans had not yet appeared, or had just appeared. How could there be words?
Xu Yunfei shook his head helplessly and continued to read.
"Stars like cows and sheep-does the word 'star' refer to the stars in the sky?”
"Could it be that in the eyes of this ancestor, the stars in the sky, including the earth, are like grazing cattle and sheep?”
"Hold my long saber and guard my ranch."
If this ancestor was referring to the pastures of cattle and sheep, this sentence was not difficult to understand.
"Long saber?"
Xu Yunfei stood up and carried a stool to the big wardrobe. He stepped on the stool and took the knife from the top of the wardrobe.
The golden blade was eye-catching, and the words carved on the side of the blade were the same as the last four lines of the long poem.
Xu Yunfei weighed the heavy knife in his hand and felt very confused.
If everything described in the poem was fake, then this strange long saber that emitted light and heat was made of unknown materials was really in his hand.
If it was true, how was it possible?
It was no wonder that Xu Yunfei was confused. This was beyond the scope of his knowledge and common sense.
Xu Yunfei composed himself and continued reading.
"East of the Ying Sea, Soaring Black Dragon."
Xu Yunfei did not know where the Ying Sea was, but he guessed that it was the sea in the east.
Soaring Black Dragon was probably referring to the legendary dragon in the village.
"Wielding my long saber, slaying demons and dragons."
This sentence was easy to understand. The ancestor wanted to kill this demon dragon that harmed the village.
"A dragon draped in armor and scales is hard to penetrate with a treasured saber. Go straight into the dragon's mouth and stab its heart."
The first two sentences meant that the dragon's scales were so hard that even a treasured saber could not cut through them.
The last two sentences seemed to mean that their ancestor had entered the dragon's mouth and stabbed the heart of the demon dragon. This courage was really admirable.
Xu Yunfei suddenly remembered the bullfighting incident today.
For such a dangerous thing, he didn't even hesitate to rush forward. Could it be that his courage was inherited from his ancestors?
"Superstitious, superstitious!"
Taking a deep breath, he felt as if he had been brainwashed by this long poem.
He pinched his forehead and continued reading.
"Black Dragon is injured and his scales are flying. Find its traces, and the dragon will perish."
These words were not difficult to understand. It was nothing more than saying that the dragon was injured and its scales had fallen off. The injured demonic dragon should have escaped and was later found again. At this time, the demonic dragon was on the verge of death.
"The black dragon has meat, so I'll eat it myself. My descendants will inherit my will."
"You ate dragon meat?"
Xu Yunfei said in his heart. Although he did not believe that the poem was true at first, his point of view had changed unconsciously. He believed it for a moment and denied it for a moment, making him very conflicted.
"Descendants of the past, carry on my will."
"This ancestor ate dragon meat and passed on his strength to his descendants?”
Xu Yunfei suddenly thought of something. He was much stronger than his peers. They were never his match in a fight.
When his father was alive, he was famous for his strength in the village. Others could only carry one bag of cement, but he could carry two bags effortlessly. If not for his great strength, how could he and Xiao Ji be protected when the roof collapsed?
"So strength is inherited from our ancestors, but even if you are strong, Dad still…"
Thinking of this, Xu Yunfei's heart sank.
