rs ago, a very wise king was born in this world, named Di Jun. Since his fortune in the Southern Desolate Buting Mountain, Di Jun has fought countless battles and spent his whole life in blood. Finally, before he was twenty-five years old, he completed the first great unification of this continent, and within the four seas, all bowed their heads, and the countries of the five continents, who would dare not obey?"

"It is rumored that when Emperor Jun led his army to conquer the cold desert, he passed through the Mishan Mountains and was in trouble with a demon dragon. The demon dragon was surrounded by ice armor and was indestructible. The single horn on the top of his head was like a sheep's crown, like a moon hook. , the people are miserable because of the disturbance."

"After Di Jun learned about it, he led the army to attack and drove the demon dragon to the frontier of the Western Wilderness. Finally, he joined forces with the ancestors of the West Sea to encircle it and sealed it on the mountain of beasts, so that he could never escape!"

After hearing Xia Sheng's words, Ye Xiao'e's face suddenly burst into a brilliance of admiration, and she muttered: "I didn't expect that in the ancient times, there would be such an admirable Mingjun, but it's a pity that Xiao'e was born at the wrong time. It's a real shame not to be able to see his true face."

A strange look flashed in Xia Sheng's eyes, and he laughed repeatedly: "Yeah, when I first read this legend of Emperor Jun, I was also fascinated, and my admiration for him was like a surging river, endless, like the flood of the Yellow River, It's unstoppable at once..."

However, Xia Sheng's narcissism was ruthlessly interrupted by Shui'er.

"But, what does this have to do with Yangjiao Lake?"

For Shui'er, these ancient myths and legends had been familiar to her since she was a child. Although she didn't know where the allusions to the demon dragon came from, at least Di Jun was a person she had long ago. What she heard, so she wasn't as surprised as Ye Xiao'e.

Shui'er's question immediately made Xia Sheng choked hard.

He gave Shui'er a vicious look before continuing: "It is said that when Di Jun was fighting with the demon dragon, he passed by this place, and Di Jun transformed himself into a long sword and slashed the demon dragon with one blow. The unicorn, which greatly damaged its strength, was far away from the western wasteland, and the unicorn was on the ground. Even if the ground was smashed into a deep pit with a depth of several tens of feet and a radius of ten miles, it was irrigated by rainwater. This is what is today's Yangjiao Lake."

Hearing this, Shui'er finally became interested, and asked again: "So, the shape of the Dragon Horn Lake is the same as that of the Dragon Horn of the Demon Dragon? Then why is it not called Dragon Horn Lake, but What about the Yangjiao Lake?"

Xia Sheng rolled his eyes and explained angrily, "It's all just a legend, who knows if it's true, and let's not say it from afar, just look at the five hundred years of our Dayin Dynasty's history. It has always been a symbol of incomparable sacredness and auspiciousness, and it also represents the honor of the ninety-five, representing the emperor and his old man, perhaps for the sake of the royal family, so I changed the name."

Shui'er didn't seem to have heard enough, and continued: "Apart from the legend of the demon dragon, does this Yangjiao Lake have any other stories? Come and listen!"

This time, there was a strange smile on Xia Sheng's face.

"Seriously speaking, there is indeed another anecdote about this Yangjiao Lake. I happened to meet a fishing old man in the town two days ago, and listened to his old man. But compared to the legend of the demon dragon, this matter is a It just happened in recent years, it is said that there is a lake god in the Yangjiao Lake now!"

"Lake God!" Shui'er's eyes widened, his face full of shock.

Xia Sheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "I can't say for sure whether a god really came into the world, bu
