12 the secret of the zodiac

At the beginning of chaos, just after heavenly stems and earthly branches timed it, the Jade Emperor ordered the gathering of all the animals in the world, and selected the twelve zodiac signs according to the twelve branches: Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai.

After the news came out, it alarmed two good friends, Flower Cat and Mouse. The flower cat said to the mouse, "I will be elected in heaven at five tomorrow." I have a problem with sleepiness. Please call me then! " The mouse repeatedly said, "OK, OK!" "

But the next morning, the dishonest mouse got up secretly and left without saying goodbye.

On this day, Yunnan, the beast in Lingxiao Hall, began to be selected. According to the difference between heaven and earth, the Jade Emperor selected twelve kinds of land and water animals, including dragon, tiger, ox, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig, rabbit, snake and mouse, as the zodiac. The rooster had two beautiful horns at that time and was also included in the beast.

The Jade Emperor was about to give up his seat for them when he saw the black raccoon pig coming out. Although it is stupid, it likes to make trouble. It said, "Since the Jade Emperor has chosen a leader, I am willing to share your worries, be a just person and arrange my brothers in turn." The Jade Emperor was overjoyed. He told the pig to be selfless and cut off contacts, so he retired from the DPRK.

As soon as the Jade Emperor left, the zodiac became a pot of porridge.

At the beginning, everyone unanimously elected a gentle and generous workhorse to sit in the first place. Even the mighty tiger and black dragon respected it and agreed. However, the mouse curled up in the corner appeared and protested. It says, "I have a large number. If you don't believe me, let's race on the earth and listen to the opinions of the people. " So, the cow and the mouse came to the street in the city center.

When the cow passed through the crowd, people didn't respond. At this time, the mouse "whistled" and climbed onto the cow's back to make a standing pile. People in the street shouted, "What a big mouse!" By the time people took out sticks to hit them, the mouse had run away.

When the mouse came back to brag, all the animals were keen on cows. Only the black pig is secretly happy. It feels that only in this way, no matter how big or small, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad, so it may be an impostor and it also benefits from it. So, with a stroke of a pen, it picked the mouse first and put the old cow behind.

This annoyed the tiger and the black dragon. They shouted loudly and made all the animals tremble. All the animals are busy worshipping dragons and tigers, unanimously electing tigers as mountain kings and black dragons as fish kings to rule the world. The monkey wrote a gold plaque with the word "Wang" for the tiger and hung it on the tiger's forehead. The rooster gave the black dragon two horns. Since then, the black dragon has been crowned. Tigers and black dragons have power in the world, so they are only behind rats and bulls. At this moment, another rabbit in trouble jumped out. It sneered and said, "Hey, hey! I am almost like a mouse in appearance, but I am bigger than a mouse in size. I am the guardian of the mountain king and should be in front of the sea king. "

Hearing this, the black dragon was furious and said, "Don't force it. If you are not convinced, let's have a competition. " Hearing this, the black pig said, "It's a deal. Let's race and let the hounds be your judges. "

Dogs and chickens have always been at odds. Seeing the chicken please the dragon, I wanted to take the opportunity to make fun of it. They chose a thorny runway and secretly said to the rabbit, "Your tail is too long, which will hinder the race.". You should be reluctant to give up what you love. " It cut off a big tail for the rabbit, leaving only a small tail.

The game has started. The black dragon wandered in the clouds and soon flew to the front. However, when he ran into the bushes, his horns were entangled in vines and he couldn't get them off. The rabbit jumped eighteen times and ran to the finish line in one breath.

Black pig ignored the opposition of all animals and put the rabbit behind the tiger in front of the black dragon.

The dog went to congratulate the rabbit. It sold to the rabbit and said, "If you don't choose this runway and cut off your tail, how can you win today?" The rabbit grabbed its thick tail and regretted it. After listening to this, the dog left three mouths and said, "Hum! I won by skill. I can't lose this beautiful tail without you! " When the dog heard this, his eyes were red with anger. He said, "Since you are capable, let's take a walk!" The hare said proudly, "What's so difficult? I'll run first. If you can catch up with me, I'll invite you to chew bones. " With that, he ran away triumphantly. The hounds ground their paws and chased them like arrows. After a while, the hare was driven out. It bit the rabbit's neck with its mouth and said, "Well, it's my turn to chew the bone."

For this matter, the dog was also punished, ranking last.

After the black dragon lost the game, he often secretly complained that the chicken horns exhausted him. When the rooster heard this, he regretted it and was sad. He came to the seaside and said to the dragon, "Brother Long, since these two horns are of no benefit to you, please give them back to me." The dragon said slyly, "Although these horns hurt me, they can decorate my musical instrument. It is not difficult for you to return the goods. You have to wait until the sun rises in the western hills and the moon sets in the East China Sea. " Say that finish, then a dive to the bottom of the sea. The naive rooster believes it. It gets up before dawn every day, hoping that the sun will come out of the western hills. It also craned its neck from time to time and shouted at the sea, "Brother Long-Brother Long! Angel-also-I ... "

Since then, the rooster has lost two horns and has been ranked behind.

Only the ranking of monkeys, snakes, horses, sheep and pigs is uncertain. You Zhu incited with ulterior motives: "Brother Monkey is the king of juggling on land, and Brother Snake is a master of swimming in the water. Which of you will come first? " After some discussion, they decided to conduct another folk experiment and perform acrobatics on the earth. The green snake invited the red horse, and the monkey invited the goat to help them make costume props.

At that time, snakes had twelve legs under their stomachs, and they were stupid and slow to walk. Red Horse is a doer who helps others. It quietly made a thin dragon coat for the snake. The dragon coat is made of horse hair, which is really beautiful. The red horse and the double horse scraped a layer of grease from under the abdomen and coated it on the dragon clothes, making the dragon clothes very greasy. The green snake wears a dragon suit to cover its stupid legs, and it is sensitive and beautiful to slide instead of walking.

Goats usually hate monkeys, because they jump up and down all day and step on the grass, so they are not so enthusiastic about helping monkeys. The monkeys want to make up for the smooth fur, and the goat asks for help: "Brother Yang, please cut me some fluff so that I can mend my fur." The goat said unhappily, "It's going to be cold. You know I depend on this precious coat! " "The monkey has no choice but to stay naked.

On the day of the competition, the green snake was dressed in dragon clothes, coiled around the branches like vines for a while, and slid on the water for a while. It held its head and neck high, landed only with its tail pointed, and performed various acrobatics, and people cheered again and again. It was the monkey's turn to perform, only to see it climb the barbell and swing, which also won a lot of applause. When performing "hanging bamboo curtain upside down", the monkey rolled the tip of its tail on the branch and lowered its head to make various thrilling moves. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look! The monkey's ass is on fire! " People all laughed loudly. Monkeys always defend their mistakes. He blushed and panicked. He covered his ass with his tail and fell down with a thud.

In this way, the green snake and the red horse came first, and the goats and monkeys came last.

After arranging seats for all the animals, Black Pig wrote himself down in front and said to himself, "This time it's time for me to be promoted and rich, with both fame and fortune! It came to Lingxiao Hall and met the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor took the seating chart, glanced at it, and without saying anything, ticked the name of the black pig in front and filled it in at the end. Therefore, the Jade Emperor asked Taibai Venus to write down the twelve birthdays of rats, ugly cows, silver tigers, hairy rabbits, dragons, snakes, afternoon horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs, and made a decree to let the duty servants release them to the world.

After the arrangement, the jade emperor was still angry and gave the black pig a few words:

Useless fool, reverse black and white.

If you eat repeatedly, you will be killed for one year.

Black pig was demoted and suddenly became angry. It lies in the thatched nest all day, and it's too lazy to mind its own business any more. However, sometimes I still feel itchy, so I can't help it. I arch this arch with my mouth and stir up trouble.

When the mouse came home, it danced three and a half beards happily and woke the sleeping cat. The flower cat asked, "Is it not time yet?" The mouse said, "It's too early, but we still won the first prize!" " "The mouse vividly boasted to the cat about his cleverness." I told you again and again, why didn't you call me? "Flower cat said with chagrin and regret. The mouse grabbed the white cat and said, "You have no ears? I told you to leave, but you took my place! Hearing this, the cat was so angry that its beard stood up and its almond eyes were round. It opened its sharp claws, jumped on it and ate the mouse.

Since then, cats and mice have become enemies for generations.
