The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 335 Caught a mythical beast Pixiu!
After Li Chengdao lifted the ban on Li Yu and Li Rou, they finally became honest.

Especially Li Rou, who went to the palace school on time every day to study, which surprised even the doctors of palace studies.

It is really unexpected that this little bully, who has always been lawless, is so obedient.

In addition, Li Rui also went to Gongxue Middle School with him. At only four years old, he can be said to be the youngest student in Gongxue.

With the arrival of September, it is also the time for annual tribute in various places.

The so-called annual tribute refers to various precious and rare tributes paid by various places and countries to the Tang Dynasty and the emperor to show respect.

Generally, annual tribute is paid in autumn. Now that the Tang Dynasty is unified and prosperous, the various tribute items are also extremely rich and cherished.

There was something in this tribute that Li Chengdao was very interested in.

That was a Pixiu that came as tribute from Yue.

Pixiu is a legendary mythical beast, and it was actually presented as a tribute. Li Chengdao was really shocked and very curious about what this so-called Pixiu was.

He doesn't really believe that there is such a species as Pixiu.

The so-called Pixiu was transported to the Imperial Garden, and concubines such as Wu Meiniang and Changsun Wugou came to watch curiously.

Even courtiers such as Jia Xu and Changsun Wuji also came over.

In the imperial garden, a large iron cage was placed in the open space, and it was covered with a large black cloth, completely covering it.

From time to time, there was a low roar of beasts.

"Your Majesty, the one locked inside is Pixiu."

Gao Huai said flatteringly to Li Chengdao.

"Pixiu is the legendary dragon son beast, how could he be caught?"

Wu Meiniang's face was full of doubt.

Gao Huai suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty is the True Dragon Emperor. Although Pixiu is a mythical beast, how can it be bigger than your Majesty? And the appearance of a mythical beast is an auspicious sign!"

Hearing Gao Huai's words, Li Chengdao couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Stop flattering, lift the cloth and let me see what this Pixiu looks like."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gao Huai responded immediately, and then two guards went over and lifted off the black cloth on the iron cage.

The eyes of the concubines and courtiers in the imperial garden suddenly focused on him.

After Li Chengdao saw clearly the "Pixiu" locked in the iron cage, he was stunned.

"Giant panda?!"

What was locked inside the cage was not a Pixiu, but a fat, black and white bear-like creature with two dark circles under its eyes.

What the fuck is this if it's not a giant panda? !

"Is this the Pixiu you're talking about?"

The corners of Li Chengdao's mouth twitched slightly and he turned his gaze to Gao Huai.

Gao Huai nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, it is none other than Pixiu! You see, it looks so strange and has both yin and yang colors on its body. It is really a mythical beast!"

"It is indeed Pixiu. I have seen relevant records in books, but this is the first time I have seen the real Pixiu."

Fang Xuanling said, stroking his beard.

The other ministers also nodded, seeming to know the relevant allusions.

After hearing what they said, Li Chengdao remembered that the name of the giant panda was only found in later generations. It was first recorded in the "Book of Books" and was called Pi.

"Mao's Poems" calls it Bai Zhi, and "Emei Mountain Chronicles" calls it Pi Xiu.

The "Book of Beasts" calls it raccoon dog, and Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" calls it dream-eating tapir.There is an old saying: "There is another strange beast in the world, with a black and white body, and a strange dream that cannibalize people."

After these names changed for many years, it was called Cat Panda.

But because of the difference in reading and writing order, it accidentally turned into a giant panda.

But don’t be fooled by the giant panda’s appearance. The naive giant panda is actually the mount of the ancient god Chi You.

Moreover, it also has a rather ancient nickname called the Iron-eating Beast.

The bite force of giant pandas is amazing, second only to tigers and lions on land.

Because the number of giant pandas is indeed rare, even in ancient times, they were very rare. In addition, their black and white colors conform to the Taoist theory of yin and yang, so they are regarded as the mythical beast Pixiu.

Seeing that the legendary mythical beast Pixiu turned out to be a giant panda, Li Chengdao felt a little dumbfounded.

At this time, the giant panda in the cage was looking at them with hostility. It seemed that so many people frightened it.

In addition, there was some meat in the cage, but it was not moved much. The giant panda also looked a little listless.

Seeing this, Gao Huai explained: "Your Majesty, this brave animal doesn't eat or drink for some unknown reason.

I have tried beef, sheep, chicken, duck and fish, but it just won’t eat it and has been hungry for several days. "

Hearing this, Li Chengdao couldn't help feeling speechless.

Pandas are omnivores and have stopped eating meat for a long time.

Fortunately, he saw this panda today, otherwise the poor panda would have starved to death.

So he ordered: "Go to the imperial kitchen and bring some fresh bamboo shoots."

"Bamboo shoots?"

Gao Huai was stunned. What were he doing with bamboo shoots?
But since it was Li Chengdao's order, he had no choice but to obey and immediately ordered someone to go to the imperial kitchen to bring a pot of fresh bamboo shoots.

Then Li Chengdao picked up a few bamboo shoots and walked towards the cage.

"Your Majesty, be careful! This Pixiu is extremely ferocious, don't come near it!"

Seeing this, Jia Xu couldn't help but remind him.

However, Li Chengdao seemed oblivious. After walking to the edge of the cage, he threw the bamboo shoots in his hand.

The giant panda in the cage originally roared and threatened Li Chengdao.

But when it saw the bamboo shoots thrown in by Li Chengdao, it immediately stretched out its claws to grab it, then sat down, holding the bamboo shoots and started crunching them.

Orcs are never slaves!

Unless food and housing are included.

Really fragrant.

Seeing such a scene, Li Chengdao couldn't help laughing, while the rest of the people were stunned.

Such a ferocious looking beast actually eats bamboo shoots instead of meat? !
Who would dare to believe this shit?
"puff"

Seeing the adorable appearance of the giant panda eating bamboo, Changsun Wugao couldn't help but laugh.

The other concubines obviously also like this mythical beast "Pixiu" very much. After all, the cuteness of giant pandas is world-class, regardless of ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign.

"It's really strange."

Wei Zheng clicked his tongue and admired the strange way, which opened his eyes.
