Fuzhou Lin Shaoyu

96K0

On the winter solstice of the twelfth year of the Republic of China, a female corpse with a strange smile floated up in the Min River in Fuzhou, holding a yellow paper charm in her hand. Marine Policeman Shen Lang recognized the talisman - three years ago, an old man in gray robe turned over his webbed palm and left the same talisman and a sentence: "There are three dragons trapped in the Jiudao Bay of Wulong River at the bottom of the bay." Shen Lang was a descendant of the Dan people. He was born with webbed hands and feet and could hold his breath underwater, so he was nicknamed "River Otter". He followed the clues and found the Dragon Boat Club. On a night when the dragon lantern illuminated the water, a giant dragon seven or eight feet long appeared from the bottom of the river and lowered his head in response to the Dragon Trap Curse. But there was more than one floating corpse. Within half a month, nine smiling female corpses appeared one after another, and the Dragon Trap Curse was stolen one after another. Yun Xuzi, the old Taoist of the Golden Dou Pagoda, revealed the secret: It was the magic weapon of the ancient Fujian and Yue Kingdom to control the dragon. Once the talisman is lost, the dragon soul escapes and bites the human soul. A bigger secret lies at the bottom of the river - during the Guangxu period, Fuzhou general Zhang Chongyue tried to control a dragon, but was swallowed by the dragon's soul and slept in an underwater ancestral hall for forty years. Now that he has returned from the bottom of the river, he has three dragon souls trapped in his body. He is feeding them with living souls, waiting for the Dragon Contract period that occurs once in three hundred years to forcibly awaken the largest sea-suppressing dragon on the seabed. If the Zhenhai dragon emerges, the Minjiang River will flow backwards, and Fuzhou will become a vast ocean. And Shen Lang's webbed hands were bleeding with the blood of the dragon-controlling priest. The dragon has been trapped in the shallows for too long, and it's time to wake up.
