Dragon in painting

I don't know how many years it has been in existence, but it has long been dilapidated and broken. There is a statue of a god in the temple, who doesn't know where it is sacred, sitting on the altar, holding a whisk, very solemn, but it is old and uncared for. It is covered in dust, and one arm has been destroyed.

On this day, a lot of villagers gathered next to the broken temple and wanted to demolish the broken temple. Because the local villagers mostly made a living fishing in the Bibo River, they wanted to build a river temple and worship the river god in order to harvest rich fish every day.

The temple was in disrepair for a long time, and the tiles were loose, so it was easy to be demolished. The statue was also carried out, thrown aside, and smashed into smithereens.

Everyone saw that the copper box looked very beautiful and locked with copper locks, so they all believed that what was inside was precious. They looked at each other, each having a ghost, wanting to take it for themselves.

At this time, someone found a key in the place where the copper box was dug out, and used the key to open the lock of the copper box. Sure enough, it was opened.

The back of the scroll was densely painted with some bright red spells, which had not faded at all after years. It seemed to be drawn with a sand brush. Although everyone did not understand the ink treasure, they saw that the dragon in this painting was extremely realistic, and they were all greedy.

In an instant, a dispute arose. The person who discovered the box, the person who participated in the excavation of the box, the person who found the key, and the person who took out the picture scroll argued endlessly.

Just then, a person found that there was a piece of rice paper at the bottom of the box, which seemed to have words on it. The person happened to be able to read and write, picked it up and looked at it, and was immediately shocked. The origin of the picture scroll was recorded on paper, which was very bizarre.

On paper, there used to be a dragon in the Bibo River, which often made waves, caused floods, flooded the fields, and made the nearby villagers miserable. Later, a local Taoist Yunyou came.

Although the Taoist had deep cultivation, the demon dragon was even more powerful. His body was invulnerable and had nothing to hurt. The Taoist knew that it was difficult for him to surrender, but he was unwilling to let down trust of the villagers.

In order to thank the Taoist, villagers built a temple statue next to the Bibo River and went to worship during festivals. The picture scroll that sealed the evil dragon was placed in a copper box and buried under the soil when the temple was built, allowing the Taoist temple to suppress it.

However, as time went by, people were forgetful. Gradually, the Taoist who sacrificed his life to seal the demon dragon was forgotten. The temple was also abandoned, and no one worshipped it anymore.

When the man saw the words on the paper, he was very frightened. He knew that he had dug out the box and took out the picture scroll, which caused a big disaster. He hurriedly asked those who were competing for the picture scroll to stop and wanted to tell everyone what was recorded on the rice paper.

However, these people were afraid that the painting scroll would belong to someone else, and they were desperately trying to snatch it, so how could they stop? The painting scroll was captured by one person, and they were about to flee, but they were suddenly pulled by the person behind them.

"It's over, you've caused a monstrous disaster, hurry up and take out the picture scroll." The person who looked at the rice paper before broke into a cold sweat and shouted at everyone.

When everyone saw the picture scroll fall into the water, they were also heartbroken. If the picture scroll was damaged, they would not get a penny.

Everyone went into the water one after another to pick up the picture scroll, but then there was a sudden explosion of thunder in the sky, which startled everyone. In an instant, dark clouds were covered, and heavy rain poured down. Looking at the picture again, everyone was terrified. The dragon on the picture scroll actually moved, swimming in the picture scroll, and then broke out of the picture, growing with the wind, and instantly turned into a giant dragon, swinging up to the sky.

Everyone was shocked and returned to the shore to run away. However, at this time, the downpour was even worse. Like a flood pouring down, many people were unstable and washed to the ground.

It rained heavily for many days, and the Bibo River overflowed its banks, inundating surrounding fields, destroying houses, and displacingrby villagers, so they had to move. Soon after, the villagers lived in a place that was no longer inhabitable.
