The Jade emperor was very angry so he changed a soldier into a Dragon long zhansi and sent it to earth .Jian Ho and Meng Chiang nu had a daughter named her Biyu meaning Little Red jasper a precious stone.
One day they were collecting wood in the jungle. All of a sudden, a gale blew up and in the sky there appeared Dragon long zhansi dragon who stretched down his claws, caught Little Biyu in a tight grip and flew off with her towards the west. Her mother vaguely heard daughter's words carried on the wind:
Oh mother, oh mother, as dear as can be! My Father, my father will rescue me!
Wiping away her tears, her mother Meng Chiang nu gazed into the sky and said to her husband, ' I only have one daughter.as dear as can be!
Jian Ho picked up a big stick and said, "I'm going to rescue Little Biyu and kill that evil dragon. Then he can't do any more harm!" Her mother leaned against the tree and through misty eyes watched Jian Ho march away.
Jian Ho walked for miles and miles. On a mountain road he saw ahead of him, blocking the way, a large rock. It was pointed and rubbed smooth by all the travelers who had had to climb it. One wrong step would mean a nasty fall.
Jian Ho said, "This is my first obstacle! If I don't remove it now, it will be the undoing of many more people." He thrust his stick under the rock and heaved with all his might. There was a great "crack!" and the stick broke in two. Then he put both his hands under the rock and tried to shift it with all the strength. The rock rolled down into the valley.
Just at that moment, a shining golden reed pipe appeared in the pit where the rock had been. Jian Ho picked it up and blew on it. It gave out a resonant sound.
Suddenly, all the earthworms, frogs and lizards by the roadside began to dance. The quicker the tune the faster the creatures danced. As soon as the music stopped, they ceased dancing.
Jian Ho had an idea: "Ah! Now I can deal with the evil dragon."
He strode away, the golden reed pipe in hand. He climbed a huge rocky mountain and saw a ferocious-looking long zhansi coiled at the entrance to a cave. Piles of human bones lay all around him.
Long zhansi licks the blood from the dead deer, feeds upon the flesh on its stomach, dragon breathes a cursed fire that scorches the trees His jaws are dripping wet with the blood, He acknowledged Jian Ho through a black toothed grin. The slime is dripping down
Jian Ho saw a girl in red weeping away at the cave. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. The evil long zhansi whipped the girl on the back with his tail and shouted vilely at her:
Miss Biyu you must marry me
Jian Ho realized that the girl was none other than his daughter Biyu. He shouted: Wicked monster!
Jian Ho began to blow on his golden reed pipe. The music set the evil long zhansi dancing despite himself. Jian Ho blew on the pipe. The evil dragon continued to dance, squirming and writhing. The quicker the tune, the faster the evil dragon moved.
Little Biyu came over and wanted to speak to her Jian Ho. With a gesture of his hand, Jian Ho showed her that he could not stop playing the pipe. If he did, the evil dragon would eat them both up. Jian Ho kept blowing for all he was worth, and the evil long zhansi stretched his long waist and kept writhing around in time to the music. Fire came from his eyes, steam from his nostrils, and panting breath from his mouth.
The evil long zhansi pleaded: 'l will send Biyu home, If you leave me alone!
Jian Ho had no intention of stopping. As he blew, he walked towards a big pond. The evil dragon followed him to the bank of the pond, squirming and dancing all the way. With a great splash the evil dragon fell into the pond and the drowned
The evil dragon kept nodding his head. As soon as the golden reed pipe stopped blowing, he sank to the bottom of the pond.
Jian Ho took hold of his daughter Biyu's hand and walked happily away. They joyfully returned home, dragging the body of the evil dragon along behind them. When Meng Chiang nu saw them coming home, her face lit up with happiness.
They peeled the dragon's skin to make a house, took out the dragon's bones to serve as pillars and beams and cut off the dragon's horn to make plowshares. With the dragon's horn they plowed the fields quickly and had no need of oxen. In this way they plowed many fields, sowed much grain and enjoyed a life of plenty.
