Chapter 10: Bai Xiaosheng
No one knows how old the Yellow River is.
It runs through the entire 5,000-year history of Kyushu.
How majestic is Mount Tai, and how the Yellow River flows across the sky like a silk thread.
The Yellow River has been raging for billions of years, with flooding waves covering thousands of miles.
It is vast and mighty, carrying sand and gravel from the wilderness; it is winding and meandering, cutting through the cockroaches in the heavy rocks.
It runs like a tornado, surging the heaven and earth; it roars like a tiger, free and unrestrained in the wilderness.
Its grandeur, its wildness, and its uninterrupted and unyielding character are deeply ingrained in the bones of the people of Kyushu.
The river bends like a bend, is vast and boundless, spewing out yellow sand, raging high waves, and roaring for thousands of miles.
This is the Yellow River, and it has none of the euphemisms of the south of the Yangtze River.
There was just crazy roaring.
The Yellow River flows from the west, breaking through Kunlun Mountains, roaring for thousands of miles and touching Longmen.
In this swift-flowing place, the sound of the huge waves covers the sky and the earth, and it is difficult to hear human voices.
It is like a yellow dragon nailed to the vast earth, with unrestrained wildness running in its bones.
In Luoyang, the sun is high in the sky and the river flows eastward.
Everything seems to be the same as usual.
People go to get off work as usual and buses run as usual.
"roar!"
The calm Yellow River suddenly made a rumbling sound.
The sound was like thunder and lightning, spreading over an area of ten miles on both sides of the river.
Countless people came to watch, both sides of the river and the long bridge.
"Is this thunder?"
"It doesn't seem so. That's strange. Is this the sound made by the Yellow River?"
“It feels like the mooing of a cow or the roar of a tiger.”
"Nonsense! Whether it's a tiger or an ox, it shouldn't be so loud!"
The sound was like the roar of a giant beast, and its mighty power was terrifying.
The water of the Yellow River vibrated accordingly, creating waves.
The river seemed to come alive.
Onlookers on both sides of the strait were shocked and confused.
The sound lasted for several hours before it subsided.
Just when everyone thought the strange phenomenon had subsided, the Yellow River suddenly began to emit sporadic golden light, but in the blink of an eye, the light spots connected into one.
A huge, slender creature leaped out from the golden light, circling in the sky, roaring loudly.
Its horns are like those of a deer, its head is like that of a cow, its eyes are like those of a shrimp, its mouth is like that of a donkey, its belly is like that of a snake, its scales are like those of a fish, its feet are like those of a phoenix, its beard is like that of a human, and its ears are like those of an elephant.
This is a dragon!
The dragon is the leader of the scaly creatures. It can be dark or bright, small or large, short or long. It ascends to the sky at the spring equinox and dives into the abyss at the autumnal equinox. It is the mythical beast of the nine states.
A dragon actually appeared above the Yellow River, a yellow dragon.
The crowd of onlookers rushed directly to the dam, hugged the fence, and cheered as if they had seen a miracle.
"dragon!"
"Fuck, it's a dragon!"
"Holy shit, do dragons really exist?"
Everyone looked up.
There were bursts of dragon roars and clouds appeared out of nowhere.
The shadow of a yellow dragon rises up.
In an instant, clouds and mist appeared and heavy rain came.
Everyone on both sides of the strait was stunned.
Then there was a carnival.
On both sides of the Yellow River, people rushed to the river banks and bathed in the heavy rain.
Someone on the high-rise buildings on both sides of the river saw this astonishing scene and muttered to himself, "Yesterday, ghosts and gods appeared in Yucheng, and today a yellow dragon appeared on the Yellow River. Could this really be the resurrection of the prison spirit?"
But what he didn't know was that this was far more than one strange phenomenon.

To the north of the Yellow River, in the land of Qi and Lu, towering mountains stand here.
It stands majestically in the east of the country and is magnificent.
An unshakable pillar is majestic but not conspicuous; it is the most majestic of the Five Mountains, noble but silent; it blesses the people, benevolent but does not speak.
There is no mountain greater than it, and no history older than it.
I admire such a lofty mountain, that’s all.
This is Taishan.
This mountain has been entangled with the Nine Provinces for five thousand years. Above it is Xuanyuan, below is Qin Huang, there are six emperors and ten titles, and it is the only one in the world. I wonder how many literati and poets it has attracted.
On this day, the five-colored light from the ancient mountain shot up into the sky.
One can vaguely see someone worshipping something in the divine light.
On the huge altar, countless shadowy figures spoke passionately to the majestic sky.
The entire Mount Tai seemed to be bathed in divine light, entering a mythical realm.
On Mount Tai, tens of thousands of people witnessed this scene.

Looking westward at the Yellow River from Mount Tai.
Mount Tai rises from the Western Sea, and Kunlun Hill appears as a ruin.
The ancestor of the crown dragon vein, how majestic!
The virtual height is 11,114 steps and 2 inches, so majestic!
According to mythology, Yuxu Palace, the Taoist temple of Yuanshi Tianzun, is located on it, so it is also known as "Yujing Mountain".
Because Kunlun Mountain is located in the northwest, it is also known as Tianzhu.
Kunlun Mountain is the most sacred mountain in Kyushu and the ancestor of the Chinese dragon veins.
Kunlun Mountain is ten thousand miles high, and the road is bitter and winding at the end of the year.
On this day, above Kunlun, clouds rose up and lingered in the sky.
Colorful golden light was inlaid on the edge of the clouds, and a huge palace appeared above Kunlun. There was a plaque on the palace, and someone exclaimed the word "Yuxu".
The huge heavenly palace can be seen from dozens of miles away.
From then on, it spread from east to west for thousands of miles.
In the Ming Dynasty, all nine provinces were covered with the sun.
On the Yellow River, huge waves are roaring and dragons and snakes are howling; on the top of Kunlun Mountain, there is a golden light and the heavenly palace is looming; on top of Mount Tai, there is a golden light and the shadow of Fengshan.
The three strange phenomena made headlines in the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Qingsheng and others were urgently recruited to the Ministry of Justice to investigate the Fengshan Ceremony of Mount Tai, the Dragon Shadow of the Yellow River, the Kunlun Palace and the Ghost Shadow of Yucheng together.
The Ministry of Justice is in charge of public security and case investigation. All police superintendents in the world are under its jurisdiction, including Lin Qingsheng and others.
In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Lin Qingsheng walked out and Mao Hongwei came to greet him.
"What did the Minister say?"
"He scolded me profusely and said that if the matter could not be investigated, it would be handed over to the Ministry of War or the Imperial Guards for investigation."
Lin Qingsheng lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "Get ready. Take Mr. Hong to visit these places in Mount Tai and see if there is anything you can gain."
"And you?"
"It all started in Yucheng. I have a feeling there's something else going on in Yucheng. I want to go take a look."
Lin Qingsheng blew out a smoke ring, patted Mao Hongwei on the shoulder, and walked away into the distance.
He knew that this matter had become a big deal.
There has to be a perfect answer to the matter.
And somehow, he had a feeling that Yucheng was very important, very important.
There... maybe he can find what he wants.

Wen Zhengming was in a milk tea shop at the time, drinking an iced drink.
Now people in the streets and alleys are talking about the ghost in the Three Gorges Square yesterday. Even the two girls in the milk tea shop were discussing the black shadow in front of Wen Zhengming.
It is said that a large number of tourists rushed to Fengdu from Yucheng today to see the Fengdu Ghost Town.
Wen Zhengming couldn't help but smack his lips when he heard the news.
This is really hell.
Unfortunately, they probably won’t be able to see them. The ghosts that Wen Zhengming had previously fabricated are still in Fengdu Mountain. Unless they dig up the entire mountain, they won’t be able to see any ghosts.
"Now I have to report a piece of news. The Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Justice has launched an investigation into the strange phenomena in Mount Tai, the Yellow River, Kunlun, and other places. Relevant departments have begun to intervene in the investigation. I believe that everything will eventually have a reasonable explanation under science."
The TV in the milk tea shop suddenly broadcast this news. Wen Zhengming raised his head and watched the news carefully.
The TV screen also showed scenes of Mount Tai and the Yellow River. It could be seen that this was filmed by an enthusiastic netizen, and the whole picture was very shaky.
After reading the news, Wen Zhengming lowered his head.
Someone came to check on me?
Wen Zhengming tapped the table lightly with his fingers.
He was not afraid that someone would be able to find him because he was not at the scene and the existing evidence was not enough to find him.
However, he was considering whether to give Daming a hint.
Wen Zhengming stood up, walked out of the milk tea shop, and went home along the old road.
On the way, I heard someone watching Xiao Li Fei Dao from afar.
"Jianghu, Bai Xiaosheng..."
Wen Zhengming sighed softly, as if he had thought of something interesting.
