Happy Fishing Farm

Chapter 154 Totem

The crew members pointed and commented on the Costin.

That sea dongqing doesn't seem to be afraid of people like Li Xuan anymore. It eats the "stolen" ax fish slowly on the deck, eating it so generously, like a gentleman, and occasionally raises the eagle head, singing a loud voice.

Li Xuan looked up, suddenly startled, and said: "This seems to be the most precious jade claw in Haidongqing."

"What is Jade Claw?" Someone asked immediately.

That sea dongqing was leaning against the headlight on the top of the cabin, and it seemed that it also liked the light, so everyone could see it very clearly.

Li Xuan pointed to the sea dongqing and said, "Look at its claws."

"It's the bird's claw, what's the problem?" Chen Bin asked suspiciously.

Li Xuandao: "It's not a problem if it's a bird's claw, but the problem is that it's white. Costin's pure white jade claw is the top grade, and there are other names such as autumn yellow, wave yellow, and three-year dragon. In the Qing Dynasty, when capturing a Costin Dedicated to the emperor, you can avoid all capital punishments, and its preciousness is equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death."

Chen Bin's eyes were hot when he heard it, "In the Qing Dynasty, this thing was equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death. Now, this thing can be sold for at least 100 million, right?"

Li Xuan smiled and said, "I don't know if it's worth 100 million, but I know that if you dare to catch it, you can spend 100 years in prison."

In fact, in the past, Costin could not be caught casually.

If you catch it and present it to the emperor, it is a gold medal for avoiding death.

If you catch it and don't present it to the emperor, it's a reminder.

Especially in the Liao Kingdom, this little Haidongqing was even more related to the rise and fall of Jinliao.

Someone once discovered a gilt copper belt with the pattern of Hai Dongqing catching a flying swan in the tombs of the East Jurchen in the ancient city of Shangjing.

Father Li said with emotion: "I never thought that a random bird would be such a precious thing in the sea."

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Dad, this is no ordinary bird. In the eyes of some people, Hai Dongqing is the same as seeing a dragon."

"Actually, I have always felt that Costin is not the real Costin. It is an eagle that looks very similar to the Costin in myths and legends. The real Costin, like a dragon, does not actually exist. Yes." Li Xuan said.

"Huh? That's what you say?" Father Li asked in confusion.

Li Xuandao: "There are many legends about Costin among the people."

The ballad that has been circulated in Dunhua, Jilin until now:

Latha, the big eagle, Ama has a little horned eagle.White wings, fly fast, red eyes, see clearly.The rabbit can't run away when it sees it, and the swan is dumbfounded when it sees it.Zuo Ling opened his eyes wide when he saw it, and called it Haidongqing.Tie silk and tie a bell, and send it to Beijing by blowing and beating.The emperor rewarded him with a yellow jacket.

It is said in the book: The cruel and greedy king of Liao forced the Jurchen tribe to capture eagle eagles for the king every year.

They also took Yinghu's wife and children as hostages, and if they didn't hand over the eagles on time, they would kill them and bury them alive.

A falcon catcher led his children to the far north to catch falcons in order to save the tribal people from their distress. As a result, the falcon catcher and his son were frozen to death on the mountain.

Under the guidance of Shenhuo Gege, the daughter used the sun's colorful light to illuminate the ice and snow on Yingshan Mountain, causing Haidongqing on the mountain to migrate to the south, so that it was easier for Yinghu to catch eagles.

Later, the falconer's daughter was killed in an avalanche and turned into a high-flying bird, that bird was Costin.

Another legendary story is about the leader of the Jurchen, Aguda, who led his troops to attack the Daliao Kingdom. With the help of Haidongqing, he defeated the Liao soldiers and won the victory.

In the oracle of Shamanism, it is praised that the eagle god has "golden wings covering the snow-covered ground, holding two silver claws in his arms, carrying the sun on his back during the day, and walking with the sun at night", and is the ruler of light and darkness in the world. .At the same time, Eagle God and Condor God are symbols of strength and might, and Condor God is the most ferocious cosmic god.

After listening to Li Xuan's words, the crew on the ship were all taken aback.

Feelings, that sea eagle with snow-white feathers turned out to be a dragon-like existence in myths and legends.

No wonder Li Xuan said before that meeting is not as good as being famous.

Indeed, if only from the perspective of an eagle, then that sea dongqing can be regarded as a very handsome horse.

The white feathers look extraordinarily noble.

But if it is said that such a sea eagle exists like a totem, there is indeed a gap.

"Okay, no matter what you say, this is also a first-class protected animal that is about to become extinct. It's hard to see. If you like it, just take a photo, and don't even think about catching it." Li Xuan said.

Chen Bin quickly patted his head, "Yes, I almost forgot to take a picture. I have a mobile phone, so hurry up and take a picture."

The other crew members also picked out their mobile phones one after another.

Whether you like it or not, take a picture first.

Otherwise, he would be the only one who didn't take pictures while everyone else was taking pictures, which seemed too out of place.

In fact, on this ship, there is no one who dislikes Costin.

Not to mention how handsome this bird is, its status as a totem alone makes everyone look up.

Li Xuan himself took out his mobile phone, took a video of Hai Dongqing and posted it on Moments.

Some mobile phones automatically turn on the flash when taking pictures at night, and it cannot be turned off.

Li Xuan discovered that this sea dongqing is really not afraid of people. It may be because it has lived on the island for a long time and has never been in contact with people. It is not even afraid of flashing lights. , but tilted his head, looking for the position of the light source of the flash.

So, Li Xuan tentatively walked towards the cabin in the opposite direction.

Seeing Li Xuan approaching, the sea dongqing immediately became vigilant. It spread its wings and took off instantly, like a bolt of lightning, it appeared in the sky tens of meters high in an instant.

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, the speed at which Hai Dongqing took off seemed unbelievable, it took only a blink of an eye to fly so far.

"Brother Xuan, what are you doing in the past? You have scared away Hai Dongqing now." Chen Bin, who was taking pictures, saw Hai Dongqing flying away, and suddenly complained.

Li Xuan blinked, and said innocently: "I saw that it wasn't even afraid of flashing lights, so I thought it wasn't afraid of people."

"Forget it, fly away, let's fly away, anyway, I have already taken pictures, the remaining sea fish on the boat, will they be cleaned up tonight, or will they be cleaned up tomorrow morning?" Yang Hua asked for Li Xuan's siege.

Li Xuan looked at the deck and said, "Let's clean it up now. We'll make a final check later to see if there are any valuable catches, and then sweep all the remaining sea fish back into the sea, and then clean the deck with water. Otherwise, when you wake up tomorrow morning, the whole boat will smell like fish."

The crew all nodded and moved quickly.
