In the Taiping Guangji, there is a water monster shaped like an ape, with a white head and a blue body, and a fire-eyed golden eye called "Wuzhi Qi". When Dayu was managing Huaishui, Wuzhiqi made waves under the water, which made Dayu a headache. Later, Dayu gathered the gods to capture Wuzhiqi and suppress it under the Guishan Mountain in Huaiyin, and the Huaishui water flowed back into the East China Sea. It is said that Wuzhiqi is also the prototype of Sun Wukong in Journey to the West.
The Ancient Qi book "Classic of Mountains and Seas" records various ancient creatures of different forms, including many water monsters.
Tiger Jiao, it also has a nickname called Pig Po Dragon, according to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", this guy looks like an ordinary fish, but behind him drags a snake tail, and its call is very similar to the voice of a Mandarin duck. According to legend, the tiger jiao is actually a pig dragon.
In myths and legends, Pig Po Long is a great musician.
It is rumored that the Emperor of Heaven observed the people's feelings and found that people lived a monotonous and tedious life except for work.
He thought: "If people learn to play the piano, life will no longer be boring." ”
Soon, Yu taught Li Min to make and learn to play the piano. He also deliberately created a song called "Song of Chengyun" to teach to his people.
However, the song "Song of Chengyun" is too tall, although people try to learn and play, but it still pops up like a ghost, and he frowns when he hears it, and he decides to find talents who can produce folk popular music.

Mo Mo was really stunned, he could play music when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, he got it! Immediately appoint it as a musician and put it in charge of the musical enterprise in heaven and on earth.
The fame of the Pig Dragon soon spread throughout the world, but its race and descendants were very unlucky.
People caught the pig dragons, peeled off their skins, and knocked them very hard. Whether it is war or sacrifice, this drum must be beaten. As a result, there are fewer and fewer pig dragons.
And in the "Liaozhai Zhiyi" recorded, the wife of the West Lake Dragon King, is also a pig po dragon, because she was born of a water monster, although she cultivated into a demon, she still likes to run around in its original form, and as a result, she was caught alive by the fisherman.
A scholar named Chen Bijiao saw that he was pitiful, so he asked the fisherman to release it and treated his wounds with Jinchuang medicine.
Then it was magical, this Chen Shusheng walked to the peak of his life overnight, the rescued West Lake Dragon Princess, not only married the princess to him, but finally this brother also became the successor of the West Lake Dragon King, the real winner of life, huh...
According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", this fish lives in the water next to Yingju Mountain, with a fish body, a snake head, and six legs, and long eyes like horse ears.

Therefore, where ran left the fish passed, all living beings, including people, would all suffer from insomnia...
[Fish Nest], a carp with four dragon claws...
According to legend, when Dayu was governing the Yellow River, he once set up a "dragon gate" downstream, where fish can jump over the dragon gate, they can transform into dragons and soar away, but most of the aquariums are unable to jump, and the [Fish Nest] fish is also one of the lost water monsters.
However, this guy is extremely slippery, it is not willing to fail, secretly hiding aside, when it sees other fish jumping the dragon gate, it stops its tail, waits for the fish to rise halfway, and then jumps its body, jumping on the dragon gate with the help of strength, and the fish that originally jumped the dragon gate is thrown into the water by it.
【Fish Nest】 The fish jumped on the dragon gate, and for a moment the wind and thunder made a big move, giving birth to four dragon claws, and when they saw that they were about to transform into dragons, they were unexpectedly slapped by the King of Dayu.
It turned out that King Yu was passing through the Dragon Gate, and just happened to see this fish stealing and slipping, using other kinds of people as a springboard, and he couldn't help but be furious, like this opportunistic person, yan could make it into a dragon, so he beat it into the water on the spot.
As a result, the [Fish Nest] fish has become a strange appearance of a non-dragon and non-fish, saying that this guy has the power of a half-dragon, and can spit thunder and lightning in his mouth and gather floods in his tail.

In Norse mythology, the unfathomable bottom of the deep sea also sleeps a North Sea demon. This North Sea Demon has been asleep for countless centuries, and when the end of the world comes, it will awaken and surface, destroying everything on the surface of the sea.
These strange water monsters do not only exist in the myths and legends of ancient countries, but throughout the ages, tens of thousands of people have said to the world that they have seen water monsters with their own eyes. Do water monsters really exist? Or is it just a legend of the people?
Since the beginning of the last century, There have been several incidents of tourists witnessing monsters in the water in Tianchi, Changbai Mountain, China, and this witnessed water monster is also known as the "Tianchi Water Monster".
The Loch Ness Monster is arguably the most famous monster in the world for centuries. As early as 1500 years ago, there were rumors that huge monsters in Loch Ness often surfaced to devour humans and animals. There are still a considerable number of scientists who firmly believe that there is indeed an unknown monster in Loch Ness. Some people say that when it appears, the water splashes on the surface of the water; others say that it can spit out white mist, and the fog on the lake surface is steaming. These legends have made the "Loch Ness Monster" more and more mysterious and spread more and more widely, becoming one of the most mysterious and fascinating puzzles on the earth.
Some scientists believe that as early as hundreds of millions or even billions of years ago, the area around Loch Ness was a vast ocean. After many land and sea changes and extinctions, the loch Ness monster was lucky to survive, which may be an ancient creature that is not recognized by humans.
The "Miyo Maru Water Monster Incident" is also a famous water monster sighting incident that occurred in the 20th century. On April 25, 1977, the Japanese fishing boat "Miyoyo Maru" salvaged a strange animal carcass while operating in the sea. From the skeleton of the monster's corpse, we can see that this monster has a small head, a long neck, a long tail, and four flippers. Because the monster's body was already highly decomposed, emitting a foul odor, and there were constantly disgusting liquid grease dripping on the deck, it was thrown back into the sea by fishermen. However, before being thrown into the sea, fishermen photographed the monster's body and obtained a small specimen of the body as a souvenir.
When the Miyo Maru returned to Japan, the fishermen showed the Japanese people the photos of the water monsters they had taken, which immediately caused a sensation throughout Japan, and many Japanese paleontologists even publicly scolded the fishermen for losing Japan's national treasures. Although the Japanese government immediately organized personnel to return to the sea area at that time to find the body of the monster, but in the vast sea, it was not easy to find a body that had been abandoned, and the disappeared body of the sea monster never appeared again.
So does the water monster exist? I believe that there must be some creatures that have not been discovered by humans, because of the mystery of the unknown, which has created the legend of the "water monster".
