After all, Rui Lengyu is a folk casual cultivator, and his understanding of traditions is far less than that of Ye Shaoyang, a direct disciple of the Taoist sect. He sat down by the bathtub and listened to Ye Shaoyang's explanation.
Dumb was very obedient, and did not get Rui Lengyu's order, and still lay motionless in the bathtub, showing his back to them.
"Everyone knows that the unicorn is an auspicious beast, but do you know the origin of the unicorn? There is a saying among the people: a cow gives birth to a unicorn and a pig gives birth to an elephant, which means that a cow can give birth to a unicorn, and a pig can give birth to an elephant."
When Rui Lengyu heard this, she couldn't help but said: "I've heard of this, and it's been reported in the news, and I've seen it too. It should be deformed, and it usually dies when it's born."
Ye Shaoyang said: "That's because the cow that can really give birth to a unicorn is not an ordinary yellow buffalo, but a kui ox. The kui ox is one of the top ten mythical beasts in ancient times. It is recorded in the Shan Hai Jing that it looks like a cow with only one Legs... In fact, no one knows whether these legends are true or not. I used to think that snakes and the like were fictitious, but in the end I really met one...
I have read the classics, and there are many kinds of unicorns, but all unicorns have no wings, except for one kind of unicorn, which is the fire unicorn—the real fire unicorn, not the flaming guy in folk paintings, the fire unicorn Usually, the fire is invisible on its body. The fire is inside its pair of wings. It is the Nanmingli Fire at the foot of Mount Sumeru. Once angry, the wings will ignite the Nanming Lihuo. "
When Rui Lengyu heard this, she frowned and said, "Is there such a thing in the world?"
"I don't know. Our Taoists are not like Buddhists. They like to play with mysterious and mysterious things. They don't care if they exist outside the world. The things in the past are in the classics, so they should be there, but they don't research. Anyway, I don't believe it. I used to read those classics. , all as a story.”
Rui Lengyu said: "Then what are you talking about?"
"Listen to what I said. It is also said in the classics that people who carry unicorns on their backs are all people with great supernatural powers, let alone fire unicorns. According to this allusion, the status of this product is beyond words."
Rui Lengyu shot him a look and said, "He's called Dumb, but maybe it's just a coincidence. There are also many folks with unicorn tattoos on their backs. Some triad leaders in Hong Kong have heard that they have similar tattoos."
Ye Shaoyang ignored it, and then said: "This is the second point I want to say. Tattoos are also particular. There are three tattoos, one Guan Gong, two Bodhisattvas, and three Qilins. People with tattoos will only make trouble for themselves. Have you seen dragon and phoenix tattoos, how many unicorn tattoos have you seen
Let me tell you, basically the unicorn tattoos are done with the blood of three-year-old pigeons, and you can’t usually see it. Once you drink alcohol, the pigeon blood will react when it meets alcohol, and the lines will appear dark red. Domineering. "
Ye Shaoyang talked eloquently, and suddenly realized that he was going too far. In fact, Qing Yunzi told him these as anecdotes, and he had never seen them before. He wanted to show off in front of Rui Lengyu, so he said so much, and then returned to the main topic :
"But no one has ever had a real fire unicorn tattoo on their back, because no one knows that unicorns have wings."
Rui Lengyu Bingxue is smart. Hearing what he said, she immediately understood, "You mean, the unicorn behind Dumb must be related to the magic world?"
Ye Shaoyang nodded, and touched the pattern of the unicorn on Dumb's back, and said, "And I see that the unicorn on his back doesn't seem to be tattooed at all, it looks like it grew."
Rui Lengyu said: "I'm still a little skeptical. What if a tattoo master has a whim and thinks it looks good, and adds a pair of wings to the unicorn?"
"If you say so, I can't prove it."
Rui Lengyu said: "I'm not making excuses, I just want to use counter-evidence to make sure. By the way, are there any illustrations of the fire unicorn in the classics you mentioned?"
Ye Shaoyang scratched his head and recalled, and said: "That's not called an illustration, it's all drawn with a brush, it's very simple, but there is a rough outline."
Rui Lengyu pointed to the Huo Qilin on Duan's back and said, "Are the wings the same as these?"
It was only then that Ye Shaoyang understood what she meant: If the wings of the fire unicorn behind Ah-Dai were the same as those on the ancient books, then there is no doubt that it must be the fire unicorn, because it is impossible for the tattoo master to completely think of the ancients.
After staring at the unicorn's wings for a while, Ye Shaoyang murmured: "I really can't remember, the books I read at the age of seven are the books I read at the age of eight." He patted his forehead and said, "This is also simple, I can ask that kid Su Qinzhang to pat it. Send me a photo, and I'll see for comparison."
Rui Lengyu also agreed with this opinion, so Ye Shaoyang immediately called Su Qinzhang.
"Master, do you need me?" Su Qinzhang's tone was very respectful and excited.
"Uh..." Ye Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, as if he just remembered that he is now the head of Maoshan. As the head of the sect, it is natural to care about the affairs of the sect. Ye Shaoyang casually inquired about the current situation of the sect, and after listening to Su Qinzhang's report, he thought it was good, and praised him a few words. Then he revealed his purpose and told him the title of the book and the He asked him to find the location of Zangshuge and find it to take a photo for himself.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Shaoyang scratched his head and smiled at Rui Lengyu: "If he hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten that I was the head..."
Xie Yuqing said: "You never cared about sect affairs, this sect leader is not qualified at all."
Ye Shaoyang said: "I am not expected to be the head of the sect at all. Master and Daofeng must let me be the master. I will pass it to Su Qinzhang when I find a suitable time later."
Rui Lengyu said to Dumb: "Get up, Dumb."
Dumb turned over obediently.
Ye Shaoyang looked at him and said, "You heard what we just said, what do you think?"
Dumb shook his head: "I can't remember anything, so I don't understand what you said at all."
Ye Shaoyang said: "Can't remember anything? Then how can you still speak? Putonghua is quite standard."
Dumb said: "I don't know."
Rui Lengyu said: "A person with amnesia just loses his memory. As long as his brain is still functioning, of course he can speak. Which amnesiac have you ever met who can't even speak?"
Ye Shaoyang has never seen a person with amnesia, but thinking about it, it seems that people with amnesia in film and television dramas can also speak, and their logical thinking is also clear, thinking that Rui Lengyu is probably right.
Dumb was drenched all over, Rui Lengyu asked him to bring him a set of dry clothes to change into, and then remembered that this was a hotel, so she simply asked him to take off his clothes and put on a hotel bathrobe.
The two waited outside. After a while, Duan came out in a bathrobe and sat obediently on the sofa.
