Chapter 195 (1/2)
In this world, there are many industries. As the saying goes, every line makes a champion. But today, I'm going to talk about the business. It's estimated that many people have never heard of it. Even if they have heard of it, they still feel very mysterious.
That's the body fisherman.
A corpse fisherman on the Yangtze River.
……
The Yangtze River.
The Yangtze River originates in the Tanggula mountains of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. The main stream flows through 11 provinces and flows into the East China Sea to the east of Chongming Island, Shanghai, with a total length of 6387 kilometers. Among the major rivers in the world, the length is second only to the Nile in Africa and the Amazon in South America, ranking third in the world.
For a river with such a long span, people living along the river have always spread many mysterious legends about the Yangtze River.
It is said that there was once a big bird in the Three Gorges basin in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, with a wingspan of hundreds of meters and a shadow everywhere when it flew. The bird, called Dawu, fell like a mountain. It was ten or twenty feet tall without legs. It likes to catch a strange fish in the Yangtze River. The strange fish is like a small whale. It is more than ten meters long and black all over.
But from time to time, Dawu will also take away the humans living along the coast as snacks.
Under the leadership of a wise man in the Three Gorges, human beings gathered hundreds of tribes. It took 50 years to finally find Dawu's nest. Humans can't kill Dawu, but they found Dawu's eggs in the nest.
The bird's egg is twenty meters long and three people tall.
The wise man ordered everyone to take out tools and break the bird's eggs.
But the bird egg said it was strange. It grew when it saw the wind and became bigger when it was attacked. It was like a mountain in an instant. The wise man was in a hurry. He cut down wood and burned the mountain, and finally burned the hard shell of the bird's egg. Then beat it with tools, the bird's egg broke, and the egg white and egg yolk flowed into the Yangtze River.
The original clear water of the Yangtze River has become muddy due to pollution. From then on, it will never be as clear as before.
And Dawu finally left because he lost his bird's egg.
There is also a legend that a dragon is locked under the Yangtze River. The evil dragon, harming one side, tossed clouds and rain in the water. Whenever a fishing boat catches fish on the river, the dragon will flip the fishing boat, tilt its head and chew its mouth, and swallow the fisherman who fell into the water.
The fishermen were so frightened that they dared not enter the Yangtze River to fish again.
Until thousands of years ago, a Taoist expert passed by. He subdued the dragon and locked the dragon under the Yangtze River with nine copper chains. Thirteen tokens were made of gold, and each token was different. But without exception, the tokens are carved with complicated patterns, which is very beautiful.
The Taoist left a message saying that the thirteen tokens must not be dug out from the bottom of the Yangtze River to see the light, otherwise there will be disaster for those who don't just dig the tokens. The evil dragon will break free from the seal and continue to be a villain in the world.
The Yangtze River has a long water and a wide waterway. As one of the two main rivers in the birthplace of civilization, too many evil things have happened in the Yangtze River. There are too many folk stories that can't be studied.
For example, all kinds of water monsters in the river, King Jinsha, King iron coffin dragon, giant turtle, alligator dragon, walking dragon and other mysterious biological deeds.
True or false, who can tell!
And the beginning of the whole thing, now think about it carefully, still want to start from the trade of corpse fisherman in the Yangtze River.
