Legend about the strange fish in the Yellow River

The Yellow River is our mother river. There are many legends about the strange fish in the Yellow River, which are mysterious and strange. The following is the legend about the strange fish in the Yellow River that I compiled for you. Welcome to reading.

As the saying goes, there is a legend about strange fish in the Yellow River. Ten years and nine years of the Yellow River disaster? The Yellow River is diverted, and the overwhelming Yellow River water is rolling in, regardless of grain fields, people and animals. When the flood came, it turned into fish food.

Fish in famine years can't be eaten, especially carnivorous catfish and snakehead, which are not clean.

In the early 1970s, when there was little water in a section of the Yellow River, we recruited thousands of local farmers to dig the river. The Yellow River contains much sediment, and its water is like cement. These yellow mud soups have settled at the bottom of the river. Over time, the river has become a suspended river, and even the riverbed of some sections of the Yellow River is more than ten meters above the ground!

It is conceivable that such a high riverbed, once the Yellow River lifts water, the Yellow River full of riverbed will directly wash away the city.

Therefore, in the season when there is little water, local farmers should be organized to dig out the silt at the bottom of the river and pile it on the riverbank. It's called. Tug of war? , also called what? Dig a river? .

I met many things when I was digging a river, which was extremely mysterious.

There are giant turtles as big as trucks, ancient tombs, a jar full of gold ingots, the remains of water monsters, swords that have been submerged for thousands of years, and of course unknown mysterious objects.

But I met the most fish, weird fish.

The fish in the Yellow River are very strange. I once caught a fish with a transparent body, and I could clearly see that the fish's internal organs were trembling slightly. This fish still glows at night. Interestingly, the light on it will change with the size of the light source. When the moon is full, it emits white light, which can be read by a light source. When the moon is dark, there is only a slight yellow light.

I also met a flying fish. There are two wings as thin as cicadas on the fin, and there is something that looks like a beard on the black head. The fish flapped its wings and ran around on the water, and then hit the fishing net. It can't fly and was caught by fishermen.

We showed these two fish to biologists, who were greatly surprised and soaked them in formalin solution to make specimens. Later, the Yellow River burst its banks in the middle of the night, and everyone fled in a hurry, forgetting to take the container, which made biologists regret for life.

However, it is most likely to meet big fish.

One year when digging a river, a big snakehead was dug up, almost as big as a carriage. In the dry season, the water is shallow, and the fish are stranded sideways in Huangniwan and cannot escape.

It is said that tiger poison is insufficient, but this snakehead not only kills each other, but also feeds on young fish, which is very cruel.

Black fish will be blind after spawning, and their eyes will be covered with a layer of clouds. During blindness, it will feed on young fish for several weeks, and only hundreds of thousands of young fish will survive.

This big snakehead can grow to one or two meters long and be as fierce as a crocodile. It has no natural enemies. It is not only fierce, but also drills into thick mud when it is in danger, and then comes out when it is safe. Some big snakeheads can even lurk under aquatic plants and devour wild ducks on the water.

Snakehead feeds on fish and shrimp, eating 100 Jin of fish and shrimp, and only has a golden dragon, which is the enemy of the fish pond. A fish pond owner offended people and was thrown a few young snakeheads in the fish pond. When fishing at the end of the year, I found that all the fish in a pond were eaten by snakeheads. Therefore, many reservoirs or fish ponds have regulations that reward snakehead.

At that time, there was not much oil and water. Several river workers wanted to stew fish, so they drained the water under the river, dug up the mud and killed the snakehead with their big heads. When they peeled it off, they saw the fish's belly bulging and cut it open with a knife. Several undigested children's heads fell out, and half of them had been digested. Whisked has a strange hair on his skull and a red rope tied to it!

Many people may be interested in the big fish monster, but I warn my friends here that if you meet a stranded big fish, you'd better wait until it dies.

Big fish and trolls are both powerful. At that time, snakehead's head was smashed, its belly was cut open, and a dozen people held it tightly. As a result, it finally shook its tail and threw several people to the ground. At that time, one person broke three ribs!

The ancient Yellow River Road we are talking about is a section abandoned after the Yellow River was diverted.

These river sections are very embarrassing. You said that the Yellow River didn't cross this river, even if this section was abandoned, but the sediment deposited by the Yellow River for many years has made this section too high, and this section has become a suspended river. If left unchecked, in case of a flood one day, something will happen, so in the dry season, it is still necessary to dredge it, and the sediment at the bottom of the river should be scoured out.

It is in this boring mud-panning that amazing secrets hidden deep underwater are discovered.

Some friends complain that these paragraphs are boring without mentioning the Yellow River Monster, so I'll talk about the Yellow River Monster. Iron-headed dragon king? : hey.

Catfish are called catfish, grouper and catfish. In fact, in ancient times, the giant turtle that could turn the river upside down was called catfish.

In the big river in the northeast, it is said that the giant turtle can cross the river and roll up waves of hundreds of feet, and that the intersection of the giant python and the giant turtle will give birth to a giant turtle, right? Hey? Also known as? God? .

In Songhua River, Nenjiang River and Heilongjiang, there is a custom of offering sacrifices to Jiang Shen. What is the memorial here? God? . writing

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when Liu Bang was still a punk in Pei County, he encouraged Fan Kuai, who sold dog meat, to catch a giant turtle with a dog trap and mix it with dog meat as a substitute. Unexpectedly, dog meat mixed with turtle meat has a special flavor, which has been passed down to this day.

Now in Pei County, Jiangsu Province, the most famous local dish is this dish: dog meat with giant sauce.

On the other hand, the giant salamander is the one who carried Tang Priest and his disciples across the Tongtian River in The Journey to the West.

There has always been a mysterious saying about catfish in our Yellow Committee.

Most people say that the Yellow River changed its course because it intercepted too much sediment in the loess plateau in the middle reaches, and sediment deposition caused the riverbed at the lower end to rise. Finally, the Yellow River became a suspended river, which led to the Yellow River taking the road.

This statement is of course right, very right.

However, in many cases, the incredible diversion often occurs in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the water flow is clean and normal, which is difficult to explain.

For example, when the flood peak that can be completely resisted passes through the river, the river that could have been easily tolerated suddenly collapsed, the river was blocked in the river, and the flood surged in an instant, and several battles were fought. Finally, the levee burst and the Yellow River took the road.

How can I say this feeling, like it? It's like a monster suddenly appeared in the Yellow River, blocking the whole river, and the flood couldn't pass, so we had to cross the embankment.

What is that monster in the Yellow River?

When the Yellow River receded, experts went to investigate the breach, only to find that there was a huge pit in the river, and there were four claw-shaped pits on both sides of the pit, just like a huge monster once crouched under the water and firmly grasped the bottom of the river with four claws, before such a huge pit appeared.

However, what kind of monster will it be?

There are rumors that this is the iron-toed dragon king, and there are giant salamanders lying in the mud to block the river, causing the Yellow River to divert.

Later, I often went to see the Yellow River, and the old people along the Yellow River often talked about this statement. There are not only legends of giants here, but also dragons that have not melted underwater. It's called walking jiaozi.

I've been listening to these underwater trolls tell stories, but once I changed my mind.

In the late 1960s, I was responsible for the excavation of the ancient Kaifeng road. In the middle of the excavation, I found an ancient tomb. It is normal to find ancient tombs on ancient roads. Some ancient tombs were flooded, others were deliberately built for fear of being stolen, and the Yellow River water was introduced after being repaired. I don't know how many years the ancient tombs have been submerged in the water, and the tombs have been washed away by the water. A sarcophagus emerged from the mud, and a river worker confiscated his strength. A pickaxe smashed the sarcophagus, and the stone box dripped water. There are some white and translucent fish and shrimp in the water, and they died after a few jumps.

I had the sarcophagus cleaned, and the bones inside had turned into a pile of black mud. Strangely, there is a white turtle shell the size of a manhole cover in the sarcophagus. As we all know, turtle shells are usually dark brown with a little white, so I took them home. I wanted to keep it first, but it's not bad to keep it as a souvenir.

As a result, at night, a local hermit came to see me.

That man has a deep background. His surname is Xie, and his ancestral home is Nanyang, Henan. He was outstanding in those days? Lao Wang Xie Yan? Descendants of Xie 'an family, rich since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, emigrated overseas when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. Although they are not officials or businessmen, they are even more powerful than officials and businessmen.

This kind of aristocrat, who has been handed down for dozens of generations, will never like vulgar things like wealth and color. His hobbies are very strange. He likes collecting turtle shells. The bigger the better, the weirder the better.

His purpose is very simple. He wants to buy the white turtle shell in my hand with a lot of money.

This white turtle shell was excavated from an ancient road. Strictly speaking, it belongs to the country, or to the river worker who found it. How dare I accept his money, so I gave it to him as a favor.

The man took the white turtle shell and now buys me a drink. The restaurant was built on the levee of the Yellow River. Looking at the Yellow River flowing under its feet for thousands of years, the river was faintly muddy. The two men talked about some old news about the Yellow River and the monster shrimp, which was also quite interesting. I asked him why he collected turtle shells during the dinner.

He is also very interested. After a moment's hesitation, he told me a secret story about giant salamander.

He said that since Qin Shihuang, the emperors of China have been keen to find the elixir of life. Do you know why?

Of course I don't know, so I just casually said that the emperor enjoys happiness. Of course, I don't want to die. Anyway, if power is overwhelming, it is a dead horse as a living horse doctor!

He smoked a cigarette, glanced at the dark Yellow River outside, and said, for a change, there is an absurd view among China people that noble children are stupid, but it is actually wrong. Real aristocratic men are actually very particular about inheritance. For example, in Xie Jia, from Xie 'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, almost every generation has a champion or a military commander. After Manchu Tatar entered the customs, Xie Jia moved overseas and developed many industries. These are the connections and foundations of family inheritance, which are unimaginable and impossible to shake.

Why are many nobles declining now and many rich people desperately want to get married? It is because nobles not only inherit money, but also more important families have accumulated centuries of secret culture.

What I want to say is that in fact, the greatest aristocrat is the ancient emperor. As soon as the prince was born, he was taught by the most knowledgeable people. Any dynasty attaches great importance to the teaching of the prince. If the prince is not easy to learn, he will not only get hit by the board, but may even lose his future throne.

Think about it, how can an emperor who came out under such strict education spare no effort to say some nonsense?

I thought about it for the same reason, so I asked him why.

He said: There is a saying in his family that Qin Shihuang sent Tong Tong men and women to the East to look for the elixir of life because a strange thing happened that year.

On the coast of Bohai Sea, a white giant salamander swam over. The giant salamander is dozens of feet long. Its armor is as hard as iron with strange words engraved on it. The weirdest thing is that it tied the body of an old man with a chain. The old man has been dead for a long time, but his body has not rotted and his face is still vivid.

Later, Qin Shihuang distributed imperial orders and asked experts to decipher the words on the armor. Later, he called a group of the most learned Confucian scholars to decipher the characters, to the effect that the giant salamander was adopted by an overseas alchemist when he was a child. Experts have lived alone for hundreds of years, and finally they can't stand loneliness. He tied himself to his armor, hoping that the giant salamander could bear himself and return to his native land.

Later, Qin Shihuang sent people to look for the elixir of life. In order not to leak, Confucian scholars and their notes were burned alive, which is what later generations called burning books to bury Confucianism.

This story is legendary. Don't ask me if it's true or not. Honestly, I don't know.

But I always remember the look in his eyes. It was a pious and dedicated look, a heartfelt belief.

Whether it is true or not, it is worthwhile for a person to have such a heartfelt interest in an object.

The second story about the strange fish in the Yellow River happened in 1993, on the edge of the Yellow River, 48 kilometers south of Linxian County, Luliang, Shanxi Province, an ancient town called Wuxia.

That year, there was a once-in-a-century drought It hasn't rained for months. The Yellow River is cut off, the river dries up, and the earth is completely cracked. Many old objects under the Yellow River have also surfaced, including rotten coffins, bronze monkeys, Iron Rhino, green-haired zombies and rusty copper coins.

The whole village went to the Yellow River Beach to pick up the drowning children from other places. Those two bronze bells, iron monkeys and copper coins have all been knocked out and taken to the scrap collection station to get some oil, salt and money.

Besides these, it is also a good thing that there are people digging sunken ships. There are often boxes of porcelain in rotten cabins. At that time, the villagers knew nothing about antiques, so it was quite convenient to take them home, make soy sauce and hold some vinegar.

Adults are busy helping foreign falling children, and children are playing wildly on the Yellow River beach. In normal times, they are not allowed to go to the Yellow River. The Yellow River has thick sediment and fast current. If people accidentally fall, they will soon be wrapped in sediment and sink to the bottom of the water, and often even the bodies can't be fished up. Now that the Yellow River has dried up, children can play whenever they want.

The child went crazy and began to go downstream along the Yellow River beach. Eight people went and only seven people came back.

The adults are in a hurry. They grabbed the child and asked, only to know that they had gone to the Shanxi-Shaanxi Grand Canyon, where the water was big. They want to catch fish. As a result, when they got there, they found that there was something strange about the Yellow River. There were dark red blood in the muddy Yellow River. Everyone looked curious and looked down at the blood and found that the blood was flowing from a cave.

At that time, a child named Hanwa was very curious, so he got into the water and got into the cave. The children waited left and right, but he didn't come out, so they ran back to report.

It's not bad that the child is gone. Everyone quickly informed the parents of the children and organized people to go to the cave to save people.

Everyone rushed to the Grand Canyon and quickly sneaked into the cave according to the child's instructions, only to find that the cave stinks and the stone wall is full of slippery mucus. It's very dark. I can't see anything.

They quickly took a torch and a few guns and continued to walk inside. The cave is deep and open, and there are huge animal skeletons scattered everywhere, including cow skeletons, sheep skeletons, pig skeletons, and some unrecognizable large animal skeletons.

Everyone knows that it is no wonder that animals have been lost in the village in recent years and have been dragged here! At the same time, everyone is a little scared. This cave looks like a huge animal cave. It eats all big animals. How big can it be?

Fear returns to fear, and children get lost. Or the village chief's child. They can only bite the bullet and go on. At least when they came to the end, they found layers of big wood piled up inside, more than ten meters high, forming a huge nest. The nest looks like a thick layer of glue, feels smooth, shiny and hard, and smells fishy.

Looking at this huge nest, everyone's legs and feet were weak, and they felt the cold wind swishing on their foreheads, and their hair stood on end. There was a gust of evil wind around them, and no one dared to take a step forward. Finally, what we have to do is to choose compromise, draw lots to choose a person, and then build a wall of people to let him go up and light the nest with torches. The man looked desperate and lost his voice. It took him a long time to say with tears: empty, empty! ?

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out of the cave, fearing that if they ran slower, the monster would come back and eat them alive.

As soon as they got out of the hole, they found a teenager suddenly on the originally empty Yellow River beach.

The boy was fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing an old-fashioned double-breasted white robe, sitting on the beach of the Yellow River and staring blankly at the Yellow River.

Everyone was surprised to see the child. You know, in the 1990 s, the news was very closed, and rumors about Mao people cutting eggs and savage stealing babies spread particularly badly. Every village is basically closed, and the militia patrols day and night, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering and leaving. Where did he come from?

Although a teenager is young, there is a kind of maturity, or extreme self-confidence, on his face.

Seeing the militia coming out, he stood up and said simply, I'm here to save people. Please prepare a handful of incense and a basin of water for me. ?

Everyone was even more surprised and looked at each other one by one, wondering what the boy meant.

The boy didn't explain anything, but simply said: there is no time. The child came out without coming up. ?

Others don't understand, but the militia who entered the cave do. They quickly told everyone not to talk nonsense, and quickly prepared incense and water and put them on the edge of the Yellow River.

The village chief rushed in. The missing child is his only son Hanwa, and it is his mother-in-law who is crying behind him.

The village chief was so anxious that his face was covered with sweat that he took off his coat and put it on sideways. He coughed hard and asked the others, and the boy:? Hanwa? Where is it?

The boy pointed to the Yellow River. He is under the boat. ?

Several militiamen breathed a sigh of relief and thought that since the child was not in the monster's lair, it would be all right.

At the same time, they are sweating again. The child has been in the water for so long. Is there life?

And it has been a waterway running through the north and south since ancient times. For hundreds of years, I don't know how many ships have sunk below. When the water level drops, you can vaguely see some sunken ships covered with green hair under the mud. In some rivers, shipwrecks are layered, even three or five layers. If the child is shipwrecked, there is no way to save it.

The boy explained that the child was not in the water, but stuck in the gap between the boat and the cave, with oxygen and still alive. Say that finish, he didn't take off his clothes, a dive into the water, diving into the water, leaving only a string of bubbles.

Everyone stared at the Yellow River intensely, and the atmosphere didn't dare to take a breath, only to find that the originally turbid Yellow River water turned dark red, like blood pouring in, and blood flowed out from the depths of the canyon, really like the Yellow River bleeding.

Everyone is an old Huang Heren, who grew up listening to the anecdotes of the Yellow River. The Yellow River is bleeding, but it is notoriously ominous. It is said that before liberation, when Chiang Kai-shek bombed the Huayuankou Dam in Zhengzhou, the Yellow River, there was a river of blood. After the flood, the dry ground was all purple, like blood tofu.

Fortunately, a few minutes later, the teenager appeared with a child in his arms and walked onto the river bank.

Everyone rushed to help, but the boy shook his head and told everyone to stand back and be quiet. Then he put the child flat on the ground, let the child's left face tilt to one side, quickly lit a wick and inserted it in the sand next to it.

The fragrance curled up and white smoke came out. There was no wind at this time, but everyone saw that the white smoke was uniform and all got into Hanwa's nostrils, as if something was smoking inside.

Where have you seen such a strange scene? One by one, they can't even breathe in the atmosphere. The old woman was too scared to say a word.

The teenager waited for it to smoke enough, and when his hand shook, a golden knife slipped out of his sleeve and landed on his palm. He cut his finger with a knife, and the blood dripped into a basin of clean water in the ground.

Finally, he took out a bamboo tube the size of a forearm from his pocket, aimed it at Hanwa's nostrils and patted Hanwa's left face. Hanwa's nose twitched a few times and then turned black.

How did this nose turn black? Everyone stood on the beach for a long time and got dizzy from the sun. Look carefully, the black is getting deeper and deeper. It turns out that a small snake is shaking from its nostrils.

The little snake is about the thickness of chopsticks. It is dark and covered with fine scales. After coming out of Hanwa's nose, he went straight to the basin of blood, but was held down by the teenager and thrown into the bamboo tube.

The little boy stuffed the bamboo tube before he breathed a sigh of relief and said simply, nothing. ?

We just ran over and saw Hanwa's nostrils bleeding, but he breathed evenly and his eyelids trembled. Obviously, she's fine.

The village chief coughed, thanked the boy first, and then whispered to him what happened to the snake.

The teenager still said simply:? Don't thank me, this matter has something to do with me, so I will handle it conveniently. The little snake suppressed by human race is fine now, but it will lose some lives. ?

There is something in the little boy's words, which is of great significance. The village chief can't understand such things as turtle treasure. However, no matter how he asked, the young boy turned a blind eye, just sitting on the beach of the Yellow River and staring at the boundless river.

Finally, the boy asked the village chief to hang a red lantern on the beach, saying that he would go into the water to slay a monster at night. It's too dark at night. With the lantern, he will know the direction.

The village chief was a little surprised. This is the Shanxi-Shaanxi Grand Canyon, the third grand canyon of the Yellow River. Although it is dry now, the deep pool below has not lowered much water level, and there are many sunken ships, caves and rocks below. The terrain is complex, people are confused when they go down, and they can't get up! Besides, the Yellow River has never crossed the river at night since ancient times, and even if there is a big emergency, it will have to wait until dawn. Is this little boy crazy to want to go into the water at night?

The boy gave him a Gherardini look and said something to him, like explaining something and predicting something. Say that finish, he closed his eyes again and never spoke again.

But that sentence should never be, the village chief didn't hear it clearly.

He only vaguely heard a few words. Yellow River bleeding? 、 ? Twenty years later? Wait, that sentence was blown away by the wind on the beach.

The next day, just before dawn, the old village head ran to the Yellow River Beach in one breath and found that the lanterns had already been extinguished. There are three big characters written in blood on the lantern: gold.

The persistent drought passed quickly. After the drought, there was a big flood. It rained heavily for seven days and seven nights in Wuxia. The Yellow River roared and screamed and filled the whole river. No one knows that such a strange scene happened in this small town on the edge of the Yellow River.

However, some people have not forgotten.

Many years have passed, and the village head has become an old village head. The old village head will never forget the summer of that year, the mysterious boy in white, the strange treasure-keeping technique and his last words.

Twenty years later?
