Boat to baishuixi, shore warm sedan waiting, along the ditch and line to Longdong. Sir, the palace is towering. The mind knows the difference. Stepping into the hall, I saw an old man with white beard lying on his jade couch, groaning. He raised his hand to make him look at his back. Mr. Liu bravely stepped forward to lift his clothes and saw that the end was clear. So I asked the old man to show up. The old man let his husband avoid one side. With a thunderbolt, the Yellow Dragon's head was lying on the ground. Mr. Wang opened his "treasure chest" and took out holding forceps and pills. It turned out that a centipede nearly two feet into the dragon's spine scale suction pulp. Clip out the centipede. After taking the medicine, the Dragon King's pain stopped.
