Chapter 372 Tired Dragon

The king of Jiaozhou was ordered to go to Ryukyu. On the sea, a huge dragon suddenly fell from the clouds and hit the sea. The waves splashed everywhere, which was several feet high. The dragon was half sinking and half floating. He slowly swam to the side of the boat, barely raised his head and leaned his chin on the deck to rest. His eyes are half open and half closed, looking exhausted. The soldiers on the ship were all afraid. The boatman also stopped the oars and did not dare to row. He said, "This is the dragon in the rain in the sky. Because he was too tired, he accidentally fell to the sea."

Wang Shilang took out the edict and hung it on the dragon's head. Everyone fell to the ground and burned incense to pray. After a long time, the dragon recovered leisurely and soared away. The ship was about to sail when a big dragon fell from the air. Over and over again, a total of four giant dragons fell in one day.

A few days later, the ship came to a place. The boatman ordered everyone to prepare white rice, the more the better. He said, "It's not far from the Clear Water Pool. No matter what you see later, don't make any noise. Just throw the white rice into the pool, and you will turn bad luck." When Orr came to the pool, he saw that the water was clear, and there were many dragons coiled in the water, with different colors, with a total of five kinds. Some are shaped like wooden basins, some are like tile urn, and all of them are lurking. Some dragons are winding and crawling, with scales and hyenas and claws, which can be counted.

Everyone was dejected and closed their eyes and held their breath. They were like wooden chickens and did not dare to move a little. Although they held white rice in their hands, they forgot to throw them away. Only the boatman was calm and threw the white rice into the pool. Suddenly, the sea turned black, and the dragons sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared.

Only then did everyone recover and asked, "Why do you throw rice?" The boatman said, "The dragon clan is afraid of maggots, and they are most afraid of dung maggots getting into the leather armor. White rice is similar to dung maggots, so the dragon clan is afraid to avoid it at first sight. Therefore, the boat can be safe in the pool.
