"Old man, have you seen the divine dragon in Longkou Cave?"

Jiang Chonglou asked the old man thoughtfully.

"Of course not. Everyone who has seen the divine dragon has died, and no one has survived!" the old man said in a low voice.

"Then...how did you and your cousin enter Longkou Cave? Can you tell us?"

Jiang Zhonglou sat on the rock, and Guapi beside him quickly took out the Huazi and ordered it for the old man.

Although Guapi doesn't smoke, he is now the general manager of the security department of the Jianai Group. He always has a cigarette on him and will hand out cigarettes to important people when he meets them...

"Oh, thank you."

The old man lit up a cigarette and sat on the rocks. While smoking, he told Jiang Zhonglou what happened back then:

"At that time, I was in my twenties and about the same age as my cousin. We were both fearless and didn't care about anything...

Although adults have repeatedly warned us since childhood that there is a divine dragon in Longkou Cave, and we are firmly not allowed to enter Longkou Cave, we have not taken it seriously...

Originally, we had no intention of going to Longkou Cave, but during the famine that year, there were more people rushing to sea on this beach every day than there were crabs on the beach, and some people were beaten to death in the fight for seafood.

..

My cousin and I were very hungry, so we secretly discussed that we would wait until it gets dark in the middle of the night and quietly go to Longkou Cave to pick up seafood...

So, we prepared a strong brown rope, quietly climbed up Longshou Cliff in the middle of the night, and tied the rope to a big pine tree...

My cousin said that he went down to Longkou Cave to collect seafood and asked me to help him from above. He tied the other end of the rope to his waist and asked me to lower him down...

When my cousin arrived at Longkou Cave, the rope was no longer tight, so I slowly let go of the rope, preparing to wait for him to finish picking up the seafood and then pull him up...

Unexpectedly, after a while, the rope suddenly pulled quickly and took my hand off. I hurried to pull it, but the rope was so powerful that it broke my palm...

In the blink of an eye, the rope was all gone, and it was so tight that the pine tree that tied the rope almost broke with such great force!

Just when I was stunned, the rope suddenly broke with a bang and fell to the ground...

I quickly pulled up the rope and pulled it back as hard as I could. I pulled the rope up and found that the rope was empty. My cousin had gone somewhere...

The second half of the rope was wet, as if it had been soaked in water, and the last rope end was loose, as if it had been chewed off by something...

Only then did I believe that there really was a divine dragon in the Longkou Cave, and my cousin let it eat him!"

The old man was still feeling sad as he talked about the past decades ago.

"Then...have you ever come to take a look at Longkou Cave?" Jiang Zhonglou asked again curiously.

"I went there. After my cousin was eaten by the divine dragon, I was so frightened that I went home that night and told my father and uncle...

The old man continued: "After dawn, my father and uncle called a few brave people in the village and used ropes to descend to Longkou Cave...

I also followed down and saw that deep in the Longkou Cave, there was a pool of water, and there was a pool of blood beside the pool...

The old man who went with him said that my cousin offended the divine dragon in the middle of the night and was eaten by the divine dragon...

The old man also said that this divine dragon is actually the god of tides in Ningjiang River, which is caused by the great tides in Ningjiang River...

This god, the Tide God, sometimes makes waves in the Ningjiang River and the sea, and sometimes rides the tide and hides in Longkou Cave to practice...

"What?"

Jiang Zhonglou was surprised again.

He didn't expect that the giant python in Longkou Cave was actually the god of tide in Ningjiang River!

He couldn't help but think of the tide god in the shape of a one-horned dragon king worshiped by Su Feng Ye Shen in the Dragon Head Temple!

It seems that the people on Chongming Island have really known about the one-horned giant python in Longkou Cave...

What Jiang Zhonglou didn't expect was that this giant python could actually ride the tide and come and go freely between the Ningjiang River and Longkou Cave Jishuitan!

However, if you think about it carefully, it is actually possible.

That giant python is so big, and the Ningjiang River's high tide can flood Longkou Cave every time. The giant python takes advantage of the low tide to swim from the Longkou Cave Jishuitan to the Ningjiang River. It's not difficult at all...

In other words, the giant python is sometimes in Longkou Cave, and sometimes not...

When Su Fengye sent people to investigate Longkou Cave, the giant python might not be there by chance, so they concluded that there was no danger in Longkou Cave...

But when I was exploring Longkou Cave that night, the giant python happened to return to the Jishui Pond of Longkou Cave, and it almost swallowed me...

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhonglou felt slightly relieved...

"Later, we and the people in the village were afraid of offending the tide god, so we prepared live chickens and ducks as tributes, and went to Longkou Cave and placed them beside Jishui Pond as offerings...

The old man continued: "When I went to see it later, the chickens and ducks were gone. So, everyone believed that there really was a god, the god Jiao Tide, in Longkou Cave. From then on, no one dared to enter Longkou Cave!

However, only a few decades have passed, and you young people still don’t believe that there is a divine dragon in Longkou Cave!”

The old man put out his cigarette and looked at Jiang Zhonglou displeased.

"Uncle, after hearing what you said, of course we believe it!"

Jiang Zhonglou smiled and said: "This divine flood dragon tide god is really magical...how did it come from?"

"According to my grandfather, this divine dragon and the Dragon King of Ningjiang are incompatible brothers. The two of them often fight in the Ningjiang River, causing floods and drowning many people...

The old man sighed: "Later, the matter came to the attention of the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor was furious and felt that the divine dragon was at fault, so he cut off its horns, stripped off its scales, reduced it to a dragon, and banished it to the Longkou Cave on the Dragon Head Cliff, where it could concentrate on cultivation.

, wait for tens of millions of years to re-grow dragon horns and dragon scales before you can transform into a dragon...

However, this divine dragon is not convinced at all. He often takes advantage of the tide to leave the Longkou Cave, and fights with his brother Ningjiang Dragon King in the Ningjiang River to create the Ningjiang Tide!"

"This divine dragon doesn't listen to the Jade Emperor and keeps sneaking out to fight. Aren't you afraid that the Jade Emperor will get angry again and turn it into a worm?" Guapi said with a smile.

"This god, the God of Flood Dragons, has a very bad temper, so of course he is not afraid of the Jade Emperor's punishment...

The old man sighed: "However, my grandfather also said that the pool of water in Longkou Cave is unfathomable, and the Ningjiang River is actually connected below. The divine dragon does not need to take advantage of the tide to sneak out and swim in the Ningjiang River.

Jiang Nongchao is here!"

"this....

Jiang Zhonglou and Guapi looked at each other.

"Old man, this Longkou Cave is at least twenty or thirty meters above the ground. How can the water pool inside lead to the Ningjiang River?"

Jiang Zhonglou said: "As the saying goes, as people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. If the water pool in Longkou Cave really connected to the Ningjiang River, wouldn't all the water in it have leaked out long ago?"

"You don't understand this. My grandfather said that there is a magical portal deep in the Jishuitan of Longkou Cave. It is usually closed, but the divine dragon knows magic and can open that portal and freely enter and leave the Ningjiang River!

"The old man said again.

"Portal?"

Jiang Zhonglou was stunned and couldn't help but look back at the mysterious Longkou Cave.
