I had to become an old man and come to this world for treatment. The doctor felt strange after feeling the pulse and asked, "You are not human, are you?" The dragon king can't hide it, so he has to tell the truth. So the doctor changed him back to his original shape and caught a centipede from the scales around his waist. After being poisoned and bandaged, the Dragon King recovered completely. To thank the doctor for his treatment, the Dragon King said, "As long as you dance and play with dragons like me, you will have a good weather and a good harvest." . After this incident came out, people thought that dragons could sow clouds and rain, and they would dance dragons and pray for rain every drought.
