ps: Thank you book friend 44659962, Xiaoyu Xianggong for the monthly ticket reward.
The girl who speaks Mandarin in Baodao dialect in front of her was the same girl who was with Lin Youxiang in the Japanese kingdom.
Xiao Peng recognized her, "Where is that kid named Lin Youxiang? Why is he not with you? By the way, I don't know what your name is."
The girl shook hands with Xiao Peng generously: "My name is Li Yuke, and you called me Ake. Last time, Axiang and I wanted to repay you for your life-saving, but we never found a benefactor. I didn’t expect to encounter it here. Axiang had a stomachache yesterday and was resting in the hotel."
Xiao Peng smiled and waved his hand: "Ake? Good name, the big beauty in the Deer Ding Ji. Don't mention the affairs of the Japanese Kingdom. It's all descendants of Yan and Huang, just a little effort. But you, how come to the Demon Capital?"
Akko said: "We have been thinking about a question since we came back from the country. Is China really poor and backward as the authorities said? So we came to China to see the truth with our own eyes."
"How about the truth?" Xiao Peng asked with a smile.
"We have been cheated for so many years!" Akko bit her lip, looking angry. "Axiang happens to have some business affairs at home coming to the magic city, so we also ran here. I didn't expect to see you, benefactor here..."
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "What kind of benefactor is not a benefactor. My name is Xiao Peng, and my friends call me Brother Peng. You should call me that. How come you come back here? You also like animals?"
Akko nodded and said, "Yes, I have many dogs in my house."
Xiao Peng couldn't answer these words: "I still have to go and see, how about you?"
Ake's head is anxious: "Brother Peng, I also want to take a look here, why don't we go together?"
Xiao Peng still agrees to A Ke’s proposal. The three elders go to the zoo to play together. After all, it is still very strange, and A Ke, a young and beautiful girl with her side, is definitely more normal than the three elders. Isn't it?
"This cow looks so naive..."
"That's not an ordinary cattle. It's called a takin. It is also a first-class protected animal in China. There are four subspecies of Gaoligong takin, Bhutan takin, Sichuan takin, and Qinling takin, which can be found in China. This is also Bhutan. Of course, although it is called takin, it belongs to the subfamily Sheep and cattle. You see, the horns on its head grow from the top of the head, and the horns grow from both sides of the head. of."
"Do you see the one with a pig nose? It is called the Central American tapir. It is the largest of the three American tapirs. However, due to the expansion of human hunting and habitation, the number of Central American tapirs has been decreasing. It’s now an endangered species in China."
"Did you see it? It is the white-cheeked gibbon. This is a species that is very loyal to love. Many zoos put a male gibbon and several female gibbons together in order to exhibit effects or increase the reproduction rate. In the end, a male and a female are left behind, and the other female gibbons will be driven out. There has been a story about a pair of gibbons living together for several years, and then the female gibbons died of illness, and the male gibbons have since died. He was depressed in life. The breeder found him five or six brides before and after they were all driven out. In the last less than a year, the male gibbons also died. So they can represent love more than mandarin ducks. You know. The mandarin ducks are not loyal to love. They usually do not maintain a fixed relationship between husband and wife. Only when they are spouses will they show inseparable intimacy. Moreover, after the baby mandarin ducks are born, the male bird never asks, and the job of raising young birds is completely It's the female bird."
Xiao Peng is like a tour guide, introducing all kinds of animal knowledge to everyone. Feng Jianting and Huang He are okay, but Ak is really listening.
A Ke walked, suddenly pointed to one side: "Brother Peng, look at that big mouth, it's so scary!"
Xiao Peng saw that it was a Chinese alligator. Chinese alligator is a kind of crocodile unique to China. It is one of the smallest crocodile species in the world. It is also the slowest crocodile with the most gentle temperament. At the same time, it is also one of the oldest crocodile species. It has existed on the earth for more than 200 million years. In it, the characteristics of earlier reptiles such as dinosaurs can still be found in it. It is known as the "living fossil" and it is also a national level of China. Protect the animals.
Xiao Peng smiled slightly and pointed to the Chinese alligator and said, "Do you know? There is a lot of evidence that shows that the prototype of our Huaxia Dragon is the Chinese alligator. Of course, this is just a guess, but a possibility."
"Huh?" After hearing Xiao Peng's words, the three of them were shocked. The prototype of the dragon is a crocodile? how can that be possible?
Xiao Peng shook his fingers and said: "Think about it, is the image of a dragon with a snake body, claws, horse face, and scales?" After Xiao Peng pointed to the alligator, "Look at it, it has a long body. Is it a long face and crocodile skin on the body? And the ancients said that when the dragon is big, it is happy, and the small is hidden. Think about it, when the crocodile hunts, there are only eyes and nose on the water. Isn’t it a hidden form? And it’s happy, do you know how crocodile hunts? People call it death spin, bite the prey and then publicize the body in the water, and tear off the meat from the prey with the power of rotation , Isn't that just being happy?"
Akko bit her lip and shook her head: "But to say so, the reason is too far-fetched. I still can't believe it."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Of course I still have evidence. Do you want to hear it?"
The three people nodded together, and Xiao Peng continued: "Yangtze Crocodile, also known as the dragon, commonly known as'Zhu Polong', has an allusion recorded in both "Shi Shuo Xin Yu" and "Jin Shu Zhou Chu Chuan", called'Zhou "Eliminate the Three Harms", this song still remains in Peking Opera, which roughly means Yixing County, oh, which is today’s Yixing City. There are three major scourges. There are dragons in the water, tigers in the mountains, and one week as a disaster for the village. People figured out a way to get Zhou Chu to get rid of the other two pests. Zhou Chu killed the tiger and got rid of the dragon, and finally became a generation of loyal ministers. At that time, alligators in the lower Yangtze River were still very common."
/Looking at the three of them being silent, Xiao Peng continued, "Turkey is of Turkic descent. The ancientization and Catharization of the country before Ahua have many similar origins. For example, the ancient Turkish calendar also has 12 zodiac signs, and The location and order are not bad at all. The only difference is that the dragon of China corresponds to the crocodile in Turkey. Think about it, in the eyes of the ancients, the crocodile is no problem in entering the sea and Shangdi. And everyone I often say "dragon and tiger fight". According to the legendary dragon's ability, tiger is not worth mentioning. Why is there a saying that dragon and tiger fight? But if you think about crocodile fighting tiger, can you understand why?"
"But... But..." Akko had been here for a long time and didn't say why he came.
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "In fact, there are still many similar evidences. According to the records of Xianqin, some people may have domesticated alligators in the Yao, Shun and Yu era. For example, according to Zuo Zhuan, in the 29th year of Zhao Gong:'Autumn, The dragon is found in the suburbs of Jiangjia. The ancient beast dragon, the ancient country has the Polong clan, and the Yulong clan. There used to be Shu'an, Yizi, Ridong father, Feng Zhuchuan, and Yi clan. Therefore, the Emperor Shunshi had animals. Dragon. There is summer, Kongjia disturbs the emperor, and the emperor bestows him on the dragon. He and Han have two males and females. Kongjia cannot eat, and has not won the dragon's clan. There is Tao and Tang that both decline, and then there is Liu. Tired, learn to disturb the dragon in the dragon family, take things Kong Jia, can eat it. Xia Hou Jiazhi, give the family the name of the imperial dragon, after the hog Wei. When the female of the dragon dies, the latent can eat Xia Hou. Xia Hou Feast for it, even if I asked for it. I moved to Lu County with fear, and Fan's later. "The dragon recorded here should be a Chinese alligator."
"Furthermore, there is also a record in "Shuowen": Jiao, the genus of dragon, pond fish, full of three thousand and six hundred, the dragon comes and grows, and can fly the fish into the water, that is, the dragon will go. In "Yunhui" It is said: Jiao, dragon. It has no horns. It is said that Jiao has no horns. Of course, many people will say that the dragon mentioned here is Jiao, not a dragon. The image of this horned dragon is very different from the crocodile. It is the prototype of the dragon, or later generations further mythological the dragon’s antlers, camel head, rabbit eyes, snake neck, mirage belly, fish scales, eagle claws, tiger paws, and bull ears based on this prototype. Anyway. Well, among the surviving animals in this world, the shape of the crocodile is undoubtedly the closest to the dragon."
The three of Feng Jianting, look at me and I see you. In the end, Feng Jianting couldn't help it: "Lao Zhangren, what have you been doing during this time? Why are the exports all classical? Can you recite it with such a mouthful?"
Xiao Peng sighed: "I was bored some time ago, and I only have to read books. Grandpa Sun is also a good man, afraid that I will cause trouble, so he just made a library for me, and I am idle, so I read books." Huang Both He and Feng Jianting knew who Xiao Peng was talking about Grandpa Sun, and they had seen them in Qianliyan.
Huang He was also shocked: "Brother Peng, is that library big?"
"It's okay, only tens of thousands of books. There are all kinds of mess." Xiao Peng said.
Huang He continued to ask: "Tens of thousands of books? How many have you read?"
"Ah? I've finished reading it. Now let Grandpa Sun help me find books." Xiao Peng smiled.
Sun Shaohui sighed: "No wonder Qianliyan Seafood is so powerful. Brother Peng is his own golden house in the book. Because of his learning ability, he is too talented to engage in fishing grounds."
"Then what should I do?" Xiao Peng laughed.
Feng Jianting gave a flattering: "Lao Zhangren, with your mind, you should be a national leader."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "You are too unprofessional, don't you believe me, if I become a leader, within a few days, our country will be plunged into war. Don't go if you don't have that material. Fuzzy mixing, politics is not something we people can play around. Tsk, to be honest, if I build this fishery by myself, I am afraid that the fishery of the four seas may not be able to develop, and what you do may not be better than me. You don't do poorly, so don't belittle yourself, you are all good." At this time, Xiao Peng didn't forget to give them chicken soup. Being a boss is really not easy.
Akke came back to his senses only then, pointing to Feng Jianting and asking: "Brother Peng, how does he call you Lao Zhangren? You are the youngest?"
"Uh, don't care about the details..."
