Ask for a commuter pass There are more than 200 miles of road from Xiangyang to Wudang Mountain.
The name of Wudang first appeared in the Han book, from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, and Sui periods, it was a hidden place for those who sought immortals and learned the Tao.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the reputation of Wudang Mountain was not so loud, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that the Taoist Jing linked the legendary true martial god with Wudang Mountain, and attached Wudang Mountain to the birthplace and ascension place of Zhenwu.
In the Ming Dynasty, Wudang Mountain was honored as the supreme royal family temple because it was named the Great Yue and the Yue of the World by the Emperor, and Wudang Mountain was famous for the prominent position of the crown of the five mountains of the four famous mountains and the five immortal mountains of the Five Immortals.
At this time, Wudang was claimed to be a radius of 800 miles, with Xiangyang and Hanshui in the north and Fangzhou in the south, and was located in Junzhou.
The peaks of the mountain range are numerous, many fallen basins, the mountains are high and dense, there are many birds and beasts, tigers, leopards and wolves, all kinds of things.
More than 200 miles away, which is not far.
But Li Shimin was not in a hurry to travel, and he only traveled thirty or forty miles every day, hunting while traveling.
It's more like an autumn hike, half a day's walk, then hunting, and setting up camp at night, turning into a campfire barbecue party.
The birds and beasts on the side of the mountains near the plains of the towns had been beaten by the hungry people, but in the mountains farther away, because of the abundance of fierce beasts, there were still plenty of prey.
But no matter how strong the tiger is, in front of the army, it is just a dish.
The generals regarded hunting as a war, and all kinds of encirclement and interspersing, those big insects and leopards, where were the opponents of the army, under the bow and knife, all became prey.
Li Shimin wore leather jackets and jeans, rode through the woods, and the guards drove out the wild beasts, and then let Li Shimin shoot them as much as he wanted.
In one day, Li Shimin personally shot seven wolves, two leopards, and a bear plus three wild boars and two pythons.
Such a fruitful record really made Li Shimin vent the depression in his heart.
Li Chao's record is also very fruitful, and he has not hunted less.
In fact, this kind of hunting is much easier than small hunting, because there are sergeants to help drive away, many fierce beasts are already exhausted, Li Chao stands there and shoots, there is no need to worry about danger.
Li Chao killed two big bears and shot several big leopards, and the most amazing thing is that he also shot a dragon by a river.
It's not a real dragon, a shark dragon, but a pig dragon.
Pig Po Dragon, in fact, is also a crocodile.
In later generations, there were no wild crocodiles in China, but Li Chao shot them near Xiangyang.
But this is not an unusual thing, even the forbidden soldiers who came from Guanzhong are not unfamiliar with it.
The crocodile shot by Li Chao was called the Yangtze crocodile in later generations, and it was called the dragon in ancient China, commonly known as the earth dragon, and also called the pig dragon.
The hole is very deep, its sound is like a drum, and the night sound should be more, which is called the drum.
Su Song of the Song Dynasty also said that there are many rivers and lakes today, which resemble the carp generation of the palace guard, and the length is one or two zhang, and the back and tail have scale armor, and the night roars, and the boat people are afraid of it.
During the Tang and Song dynasties, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were full of alligators, and more far, they were more widely distributed in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins.
At that time, the temperature and rainfall in the Yellow River basin were the same as those in the Yangtze River basin today, which was very suitable for foraging and repropriating dragons.
It is said that Hubei is referred to as Hubei in later generations, which comes from Hubei, an ancient country.
And that Hubei country, the first was a tribe that made a living by catching dragons and took dragons as totems, called the Ou tribe, in the area of Xiangning County, Shanxi Province in later generations, and then formed the Hubei country.
At that time, there was the Eshan Mountain, and there was the Eshui River under the mountain, which flowed through the Egu Valley and flowed into the Yellow River.
When he arrived at King Cheng of Zhou, he named his younger uncle Yu Yu in Tang and changed the name of the country to Jin.
Because the ancient Hubei country was close to the Jin capital, and was later annexed, the remnants of Hubei fled south, to the Eliban in Henan, and later moved to Nanyang, still called the Hubei country.
When the king of Zhou Yi, the two countries of Zhou and Hubei were at odds, and the combined forces of Zhou and Yu sent troops to conquer Hubei and occupy the capital of Hubei, and the Hubei people had to move south to Echeng and settle down on the shore of Liangzi Lake in Hubei in later generations.
According to records, there were many crocodiles in Echeng at that time, so many that they all made rafts out of crocodile skins and connected them into boats and bridges to cross the Yangtze River.
There are poems written about this in Lisao, and the dragon makes Liang Jinxi, which is the story of using the dragon raft as a pontoon bridge.
The E-kingdom was later destroyed, but the name of E-yi remained, and even eventually became the abbreviation of the land of Chu in later generations.
This is tracing back to the roots, in fact, it is closely related to crocodiles.
Li Chao really didn't know about these before, but after Li Chao shot a crocodile, he listened to Wei Zheng, an old pedant, tell him when he was in the camp with a crocodile dragon.
That day, Li Chao shot and killed a crocodile, but it was not surprising at all.
Because of this ferocious crocodile, hundreds of crocodiles were killed that day. usually dominates a side of the waters, but in front of the government soldiers, it has become a delicacy on the barbecue grill on the bonfire.
The dragon is actually very small, the adult is less than two meters, seventy or eighty pounds, this crocodile is considered to be the smallest among the crocodiles, and the temperament is actually very tame. 、 They are slow, and the common people are more afraid of them, but the army hunts easily.
The skin of the dragon is very thick, but the meat is quite tender.
Cut the skin, the meat inside is white, a bit like snake meat, peel off the skin, smear with salt, put it on the fire and roast, roast for a while, and when the fat drips off and the skin is crispy, you can eat it.
The taste of crocodile meat is quite average.
"It is said that dragon meat in the sky and dog meat on the ground, but why do I think this dragon meat tastes a little strange."

Li Shimin took a piece of crocodile meat from Li Chao's piece, dipped it in some dipping sauce, and ate a few bites.
"It's a bit like chicken," Wei Zheng also took a bite.
Yu Wenshi chewed, "I think it looks like rabbit meat" "Teacher, this crocodile skin tastes a bit like a sea cucumber" The prince's taste is more unique, and he roasted a piece of skin to eat.
This kid has the same weird taste as Li Chao.
"It's still quite delicious."
Yu Chigong thought it tasted very good, sprinkled with salt and cumin, and added a little cornwood pepper powder, which was numb and a little spicy, and the taste was very good.
Li Chao looked at Yu Chi Laohei biting very hard, and couldn't bear to remind him that the piece of meat was actually not cooked yet, it was simply medium-rare, and it was a little blood-red.
"A pig Po Long is seventy or eighty catties, and if you catch a thousand, you will have seventy or eighty thousand catties, this thing is good, you can catch more."
Li Shishi drew conclusions while eating.
His conclusion is that the pig dragon is very stupid and easy to catch, and the meat is rich and tastes good, and can be included in the plan for large-scale capture.
Li Chao mourned for the pigs and dragons for three seconds.
Then he cut a piece of crocodile meat from the grill and ate it in a big bite.
In this era, the pig dragon is everywhere, and many of them are as widespread as the crayfish of later generations, there is really no need to worry about extinction or anything, this is not the next generation, there are only a few hundred in the country.
It is now estimated that there are millions of them. t1706231537:
