Jiang Han was a little confused. "Do the first and fourth statements overlap?"

"That's right. There is indeed some overlap between the two. Bobai County itself is in Guangxi. And the fourth theory is that it is in Guangdong and Guangxi. Back then, our team initially determined that the location of the inverted mountain was between Guangxi and Qiangmo Mountain in Tibet."

Xin Gaoyang felt something was wrong. "No, Dad. Why did you talk about praying over the mountain for so long? Even if he has a connection with the tiger dragon, there is not much connection, right?"

Xin Li knocked on the table and said, "You little bastard, what did I teach you? Recite the content about praying over the mountain in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

Xin Gaoyang actually recited it, "Five hundred miles to the east, there's a mountain called Zaoguo. There's a lot of gold and jade on the mountain, and a lot of rhinoceroses and wild beasts below. Wait, there's a lot of gold and jade on the mountain?"

Gold and jade?

Xin Gaoyang remembered what his father did. No matter how you put it, his father and his group of people were just a bunch of diggers.

Why dig a water hole? It's all for money.

"Dad, did you really go to the mountain to pray? Just for the gold and jade up there?"

Xin Li cleared his throat and said, "The gold and jade mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas refer to metals and jade. It's said that there are treasures all over the place. But for so many years, no one has found the Prayer Mountain. Some of us have figured out that the key to finding the Prayer Mountain isn't Tianyu Mountain, but the Tiger Dragon."

Xin Gaoyang finally understood. "You guys are interested in the Tiger Dragon not because it can cure hemorrhoids, but because of the prayer mountain behind it?"

Xin Li didn't deny it. "Many people who search for the Prayer Mountain start from Tianyu Mountain, thinking that if they find Tianyu Mountain, they'll definitely find it by heading 500 miles east. But after so many years of searching, they still haven't determined the exact location of Tianyu Mountain."

"We decided to do the opposite. We first found the Tiger Dragon, and then used it to find the Yu River to the north. Then we would be able to find the Prayer Mountain naturally."

Although Jiang Han had also read the Classic of Mountains and Seas, what Xin Li said was too bizarre.

Is there really anyone doing this in real life?

[The Wei River originates here and flows southward into the sea.]

The Classic of Mountains and Seas only says that the Tiger Flood Dragon is in the sea area where the Wei River flows into. But the Tiger Flood Dragon is an animal, so its location can change, right?

He has seen tiger dragons in the East China Sea, South China Sea and Indian Ocean.

"Uncle Xin, so you found the Tiger Dragon, right?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone again.

Seeing that the phone was still not hung up, Jiang Han and the others could only wait for the "signal" to get better again.

"We did find the Tiger Dragon, but it wasn't a good memory. I can only tell you that there were twelve of us when we left, but only three remained when we returned. There were supposed to be five, but the other two were chased by the Tiger Dragon even though they had already reached a safe place during their escape."

Xin Li paused for a long moment, "That thing is narrow-minded and holds grudges."

Jiang Han took a deep breath. Xin Gaoyang's father actually knew so much about Hu Jiao, which meant that Xin Gaoyang's father had a deep dealings with Hu Jiao.

"Um...does he have any weaknesses?"

Xin Li sighed, "If we knew his weakness, so many people wouldn't have died."

Jiang Han felt something was wrong again. "You were heading for the Mountain of Prayer, not the Tiger Dragon. At most, you wanted to use the Tiger Pounce to locate the Mountain of Prayer. Why would you clash with the Tiger Dragon?"

Xin Gaoyang also thought of this, "Yes, Dad. Why did you come into conflict with the tiger dragon?"

Xin Li was reluctant to criticize Jiang Han, but he was not polite at all to Xin Gaoyang. "I told you to understand more when you read, to integrate more, and to think more about why this sentence means what you read. Have you thought about it carefully?"

Xin Gaoyang felt a little embarrassed after being scolded. "Dad, just say whatever you want to say. What did I do wrong in my reading comprehension?"

"Listen carefully, 'A hungry dragon lurks in the water, it drops its tail to seduce a thirsty tiger.' This line comes from a poem by Su Dongpo. It describes a fierce battle between a dragon and a tiger. From this line, we can see that the tiger was only drinking water, but the dragon felt that the tiger was encroaching on its territory, so it raised its tail and killed the tiger."

Xin Gaoyang seemed to understand. "So you just found this tiger dragon, but the tiger dragon felt that you had offended it and wanted to kill you."

Xin Li felt that his silly son had finally come to his senses. "That's about it. Anyway, that thing has a bad temper, is petty, and holds grudges. If you still want to live, come back quickly."

Jiang Han felt that Xin Gaoyang's father would definitely not lie to them, and he asked them to go back for their own good.

"Give me some time to think about it." Jiang Han is now in a difficult situation.

He had promised Zhang Si to help find lemon sharks. Now that the sea area for catching lemon sharks was almost reached, this happened.

The fuel costs, various expenses, and wages of so many people on board would be a huge loss if we just go back like this.

But compared with the losses, human lives are more important.

But how should he talk to Zhang Si about this matter? If he brings up the matter of the tiger dragon, will Zhang Si believe it?

Jiang Han thanked Xin Li and hung up the phone.

Cai Chengyan, who was sitting next to him, scratched his head and thought for a long time, but couldn't help but say, "I think I've heard of this tiger dragon."

Jiang Han and Xin Gaoyang looked at Cai Chengyan together, "Where did you hear that?"

"It's at my dad's place. I remember someone once sent a piece of meat from his cold storage, beautifully packaged. I thought it had a strong fishy smell and even complained about it. My aunt said it was tiger dragon meat, very nutritious and good for health."

Jiang Han was a little confused. Is there really someone who eats tiger dragons as meat?
