Old Fogey Goes Down The Mountain

Chapter 96: Specially protected animals

Views:

After carefully analyzing the passenger flow of each exhibition area of the zoo, it was determined that the number of newly opened aquarium venues ranked the bottom in the exhibition area of the whole park.

Qinglong will quit. It originally thought that there was only the eloquent panda on its head, but who knows what Longhu Mountain and Monkey Mountain will be after the panda pavilion, the giraffe exhibition area, Koala Park, various Tourists are more interested than aquariums.

In the analysis of Unity, it also mentioned an even worse reality: "These animals are not only popular, but also foreigners! Nowadays, animals of our own nationality are not easy to get along with, there is no way, who told foreign monks to recite sutras Woolen cloth."

Qinglong was furious - the inheritance he accepted when Jackie Chan did teach him that as a faith in this land, he should have a sense of intimacy with the creatures of this land, but he had no concept of this before, otherwise he would not care about it. Recklessly, he had to use millions of human lives to complete his entry into the sea.

But at this moment, it finally truly understood what this sense of intimacy represented, and the self-esteem that was smashed by Wei Xi after Jackie Chan finally rekindled a raging flame.

Qinglong roared at the Taoist priests: "How unreasonable! I am a great country, and it has been inherited for thousands of years. How can I let these foreign livestock be compared?! As a national totem, I will never allow it!"

Daoists: "..."

The Taoist priests felt that they should be happy. After all, this Qinglong, who seemed to have no idea of his responsibilities before, finally realized his identity, and seemed to want to take on the responsibility he should have for this land.

But they really can't be happy - wake up! Who told you that your responsibility is this!

Qinglong didn't care so much, and with red eyes, he shoved menacingly into the aquarium exhibition area.

******

The Forest Zoo has invested a lot in this aquarium. Many marine animals have been placed in the huge aquatic area. Although these marine animals have not developed their intelligence, the cognition buried in their bones and blood cannot be erased. Instinctively knew that this new resident was his eldest, all of them were shivering and trembling with fear.

Qinglong cruised around in the sea and found that the sea water here is indeed clearer and cleaner than that in the sea area of his own Dragon Palace. The ecological environment in the water is also good, and the living environment is still satisfactory. The sailor gave the order: "You all come here!"

The director of the garden outside the exhibition hall just watched the aquatic animals who used to ignore the well water and don't make river water swim towards the arrogant water snake on the reef. It adapts to salt water, but it won't be bullied, right? Although these newly introduced marine animals have good temperament and are willing to get close to people, they might use it as feed."

Little did he know that in the thick glass tank wall, the marine animals who were "good tempered" and "willing to be close to people" in his mouth had already begun to give their ideas to this very strong-looking boss. Desire has always been straightforward, and it's just a few words that come and go—

"Get out! Get out!"

"Snatch all the fish from the breeder!"

"Overthrow the human regime!"

"Boom!" Qinglong raised the tip of his tail and beat him one by one, hitting the head of the big turtle who shouted the most clearly, "Whoever loves the broken ocean environment will return. And you, overthrow human beings. Regime, you have a big heart, what are you doing, do you think the aquarium is not deserted enough?"

As Qinglong spoke, he glanced at Weixi outside the exhibition area with a guilty conscience, overthrowing the regime... Shit, let's not talk about the elder who was going to kill him with a dragon gun if he didn't agree, how did he get the opposite angle? No, I still have lingering fears to this day.

The big turtle that had lived for decades was beaten a bit stunned - the boss with amazing force doesn't seem to be here to bring himself to rebel

Qinglong snorted coldly: "In the new era of socialism, there is no future for rebellion. I am the Dragon King of the Aquarium, and I am here to lead you to revive the glory of my Aquarium!"

This exciting speech immediately caused the fish and shrimps present to shout excitedly: "Long live the king! Long live! Long live!"

Qinglong glanced sharply at the huge turtle, and realized that this younger brother seemed to be the oldest, and decided to carry forward the fine traditions in the inheritance of the dragon family: "From today, you are my turtle prime minister!"

The turtle's shell trembled with excitement: "It turned out to be His Majesty the Dragon King! His Majesty did not know that the Prime Minister beside the last Dragon King was the elder in his subordinate group!"

Qinglong didn't expect that the two sides still have such a relationship, and said with satisfaction: "Not bad."

The first turtle prime minister in the socialist era took office, and he couldn't contain his excitement. He was eager to try the goal of reviving the glory of the aquarium mentioned by the Dragon King, and was full of expectations: "Then, Your Majesty, where should we start first? Please, Your Majesty. Order!"

******

The news of Qinglong's existence was reported to the superior leaders of the capital by Mr. Gu early in the morning when he entered the sea city.

After getting the video data he passed back in Jihai City, there is no need to describe the importance of the units in the capital. I don’t know how many old leaders who are over 500 years old are so excited that they can’t sleep well, if it is not for the airport in Jihai City was paralyzed by the heavy rain , I'm afraid they have already left the day before.

Everyone wanted to hold a vigorous welcome ceremony, but unfortunately, for the sake of social stability, we had to deal with it as low-key as possible.

Several dark black commercial vehicles galloped fast on the road, and the leaders who read all the sails in the cars showed a little nervousness. timid-

"...It's really incredible. If I hadn't repeatedly confirmed that Xiao Gu's video has no traces of forgery, I definitely wouldn't believe such an incredible thing."

"Qinglong... If the news leaks out, I don't know how much social unrest it will cause."

Someone looked around the crowd of people outside the forest zoo, and there was a worried expression on their faces: "Yeah, Xiao Gu's decision to place Qinglong in such a place is too rash."

"More people are not only prone to problems, but more importantly, it will also have a great impact on Qinglong's living environment."

"It's a dragon after all, and it's too disrespectful to live here."

When everyone's voice fell, they realized that something was wrong, and when they turned their heads, they found that Mr. Gu had been standing silently on the side to greet him.

The leaders were a little embarrassed to speak ill of their subordinates in person, and went up to greet him: "Xiao Gu, you have worked hard this time. The process of preventing Qinglong from entering the sea must be very thrilling and not easy, right?"

Mr. Gu suddenly thought of the mineral water bottle: "...It's okay."

The leaders thought that this subordinate was quite modest, and followed him towards the destination, feeling nervous again: "How is Qinglong adapting to the zoo environment?"

Mr. Gu was silent again, and after a long time he replied with a strange expression: "It's pretty good."

The leaders looked around at the beautiful environment in the Forest Zoo and nodded their heads in relief. With such a large-scale zoo, the qualifications of the aquarium must not be bad. "Why are there so many people? Didn't you hear that the aquarium in the Forest Zoo just opened with average traffic?"

Mr. Gu was even more hesitant to say anything: "...There is a reason for this..."

Before listening to his explanation, the leader suggested slightly uneasy: "I didn't expect it to be so lively, I think we should build a secret ocean center as soon as possible, and we can't let Qinglong live in this worldly atmosphere. place."

This remark was immediately echoed with approval: "Yes, it is said that the dragons are very proud and eccentric, not to mention that according to Xiao Gu's report, this dragon is currently not close to human society, and its temper is not very good, I'm afraid Wouldn't like to be visited by people every day."

Hearing this, Mr. Gu couldn't help interrupting them: "... Leaders, I think you are probably overthinking."

The leaders were stunned for a moment, and were about to ask him what he meant when they heard the laughing talk of tourists—

"Hurry up, you can see the real-time updates on Weibo, let's check in before we leave!"

"The aquarium in this zoo is too fun! I heard that the newly introduced water snake today will ride turtles and take pictures with tourists!"

The couple happily squeezed into the crowd while talking, leaving behind many well-dressed leaders in suits and leather shoes: "..."

Some leaders began to feel bad: "...the water snake that was just introduced today?"

In their silence, Mr. Gu looked up at the sky in the distance, and also felt very tired.

After a long while, he forced out an embarrassed smile: "... Qinglong is rehearsing the show, do you want the leaders to take a look?"

************

In the aquarium, the number of tourists has surged several times, and they are all holding their mobile phones and facing the aquarium wall with bright eyes. In front of the exhibition area, which was judged as extremely boring by visitors when it first opened, a wonderful scene is being staged.

Countless marine creatures swam around on their own, ignoring the living conditions of others, all gathered behind the glass wall, leaving a piece of water in the middle, which is quite like the stars holding the moon.

A huge sea turtle is swimming around in their midst, not in a very high mood, but it is not the protagonist, it is the coiled water snake on its back.

That water snake looks very interesting, its head is bigger than ordinary water snakes, its eyes are piercing, majestic, its scales are oily, and it can even reflect a faint light. One feels an indescribable imperial majesty.

An open space was divided in front of the exhibition area. At this time, the last wave of people left, and the people in the queue at the back quickly squeezed in: "It's my time, it's my time!"

The two stood in the open space, and immediately raised their arms to show a huge love.

The water snake's eyes moved slightly, and when he saw their movements, he turned his head, and the turtle under it turned obediently and swam towards the open space.

It swam straight to the position above the heads of the pair of passengers, and the coiled water snake finally moved. It moved dexterously, raised its tail, and slowly approached the top of its own head, and then coldly used its slender body in the large size of the tourists. The top of the heart cooperated with a heart.

At that moment, there was thunderous applause, everyone was moved, and fell into a sea of joy.

The leaders who came to worship the legendary Lord Qinglong with awe stood behind the crowd: "..."

Wei Xi nodded, but finally began to admire this seemingly useless Qinglong. He raised his hand and patted the dazed Zhi Lixuan on the shoulder: "Congratulations to the director of the garden, another outstanding employee."

*************

The expressions of the leaders were relatively blank. After clearing the field, they gathered around the top of the aquarium. When Qinglong rode the turtle out of the water, he did not forget to teach himself the new Prime Minister, who seemed not to be very enthusiastic about his work: "You seem to be dissatisfied with my order?"

Turtle: "… "

Turtle: "... Your Majesty said to revive the glory of my aquarium, does it mean that just now?"

Qinglong thought of the passenger flow in the aquarium just now that was comparable to the panda pavilion, and snorted: "Is the effect very significant?"

Turtle: "… "

This His Majesty is different from what he imagined, is it too late to resign now

Qinglong left the water, and since there were no outsiders, he finally transformed into his original appearance, and floated in midair with majesty.

It wiggled its head and tail, and asked in a stern tone: "Who is coming?"

It's such a transformation, even without its horns, it's very scary, making the leaders who were dizzy by its performance once again realized its extraordinary identity, and their attitudes became more cautious.

In any case, this is a totem representing the nation, and it is also a powerful divine beast recorded in countless classics throughout the ages.

Immediately, someone politely came forward to communicate with it: "Master Qinglong, you are willing to give up entering the sea, which is really admirable to us. We are the representatives of the Human Culture Department who came to meet with you, specially to care about your daily needs, you I have a special status, I have just appeared in this world, I am afraid I am not used to life in the world, and if you need anything, you can ask us."

Said to be caring, in fact, to appease it. The mythical beast was born, and it is such an unusual species for the land. If the world is not good, it will be a mess. Only by stabilizing it can the society not be affected.

When Qinglong heard this, he was really concerned, and asked loudly, "Really!"

It seemed that he really had something he really wanted. The leaders at the scene felt a sudden shock when they heard this. They were calm on the surface, but their foreheads were sweating nervously: "Of course."

Qinglong simply landed directly from mid-air this time, and landed directly in front of everyone, pressing step by step: "Anything you want?!"

Everyone looked at each other, and their expressions were a little tense. After all, it is not the old society anymore. Human beings worship totems, but that is just the emotional pursuit brought by traditional culture. You must know that the other party has almost threatened the lives of millions of people in the sea for their own entry into the sea. No one dares to take it for granted that this dragon will be of the same mind as human beings, and even their own emotions are mixed with awe Mixed with all kinds of inexplicable vigilance.

What will it ask for

Before coming, various departments held an emergency meeting, and the result of the meeting was to meet the requirements of the other party as much as possible.

But this "best possible" degree is not without bottom line. It's okay to talk about such worldly things as gold, silver, jewelry, luxury houses, famous cars, and I'm afraid that the other party will open their mouths and ask for something they can't give.

The hearts of the leaders slowly sank. They had read many credible ancient books before, and several of them recorded the sacrifices owned by the dragon race hundreds of millions of years ago. is undoubtedly a living creature.

Pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep said that it is not uncommon to worship delicate children and women.

The leaders lowered their eyes. In addition to them, there were a group of secretly armed troops who came to the Forest Zoo this time. At the same time as the aquarium crowd was evacuated just now, other tourists in the Forest Zoo had also been urgently evacuated. At this point, no matter how reluctant they were in their hearts, they could only be prepared to use force if the negotiation failed.

The old leader who took the lead showed a calm smile on his face: "Of course, you can just mention it. We can do it, and we will try our best to do it for you."

Qinglong's huge eyes swept between them suspiciously, thinking for a moment, and finally said with satisfaction: "Okay! First!"

Countless hearts at the scene suddenly tightened with its sound.

In the next second, he heard the second half of his words: "I want you to allocate money to buy hot searches for me regularly!"

leaders:"… "

leaders:"???"

Leaders: “…What did you say?”

Qinglong's eyes widened, and he was a little unhappy: "Isn't it okay to say anything? Is this going back?"

The leaders asked in disbelief: "... No, you, what are you doing with the hot search?"

Qinglong said righteously: "Xiao Tuan said that when Taicang Zong first opened, they bought on time every week. Although the price was expensive, the popularity has grown rapidly, and the business of the haunted house is getting better and better. You haven't seen this aquarium. How empty it was before, how can we let people know the power of our aquarium if we don’t publicize it? How can we compete for the ACE of the zoo if we are not popular enough? And myself, Xiaotuan is right, the inheritance of the dragon family has been broken for more than a hundred years, and today, There are still a few believers outside who visit me? If we don’t publicize it, maybe one day we will be out of breath.”

leaders:"… "

The leaders opened their mouths, feeling as if they had grasped the point, and asked weakly, "... Dare to ask Xiao Tuan and Taicang Sect...?"

Mr. Gu has turned his head and looked into the distance since Qinglong spoke just now, but at this moment he turned his head blankly and made a gesture to Wei Xi who was beside him: "This is the chief guard of the Taicang sect, and Mr. Tuan is his eldest disciple. , In this operation, Daowei Dao has contributed a lot."

Wei Xichao nodded at all the big leaders who came over, his expression remained unchanged: "Some simple views on management, I laughed."

"..." After a moment of silence, the leaders chose to turn their eyes away from the hero, "... There should be no problem with this condition."

Qinglong hurriedly said: "Don't think this is enough, I was stopped by you from entering the sea, brought to the capital, and gave up so much, how can I repay it with just a little hot search."

The nervousness that the leaders had retreated began to slowly grow again: "What else?"

Qinglong's attitude became more cautious: "I ask you, as Qinglong, I am guarding one side, do I have any weight in your national affairs?"

The leaders immediately quieted down. Now is not the era of feudal imperial power. What does it mean? Is it possible that you still want to contaminate the government

Sure enough, the main event was put to the back, and the leaders' keen political sense quickly swept up, and after a long while, someone slowly said: "Of course there is."

They thought they had already guessed a lot, but they didn't expect that the green dragon's appetite was bigger than they thought. Everyone looked at each other again, the surface was calm as usual, but the inside was choppy.

Hearing that Qinglong suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, with a posture of getting what he wanted, and then quickly stopped the laughter and looked back at everyone—

"Okay! Then I will recommend myself to be a national super protected animal!"

The pupils of the turbulent leaders were instantly confused: "?"

When Qinglong said this, his tone suddenly sank, his eyes swept over Wei Xi, and then he turned to look outside the stadium near the center of the zoo, his eyes narrowed coldly, and he said every word—

"The kind that is more precious than wild boars and pandas!"

leaders:"… … … … "

No, what did you mean by the wild boar and panda? Do you think wild boars and pandas are more precious than you? Is there any misunderstanding of this dragon about himself
