Chapter 514: Qingqiu
The submarine kept diving, and finally saw a huge sinkhole more than 50 meters under the water, the pit was bottomless, pitch black, and it was impossible to see what was inside, surrounded by aquatic plants, and a group of fish and shrimp swimming around.
Xuanwu was amazed for a while, and said in a low voice: "Boss, this shouldn't be the legendary Dragon Palace, right?"
Qin Jue was also full of suspicion, this undersea sinkhole was really huge, but there was no trace of human activity.
"No matter, let's go in and have a look!"
After whispering a word, everyone began to change into diving suits, and when the hatch of the submarine opened, everyone swam out without any hesitation. It gradually disappeared into the sinkhole.
As soon as the huge sinkhole approached, Qin Jue felt a huge suction, as if it was a black hole, pulling everyone tightly, unable to break free at all.
"How can this be? If we continue like this, we will be swallowed up by this sinkhole. Qin Zulong's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly shouted.
"Fuck, we should have done some experiments before we came in, I'm afraid we're going to have to fold here this time. Xuanwu shouted.
Only Qin Jue smiled softly and said indifferently: "It's okay, let's go in with me and have a look, I have a hunch that this is the so-called East China Sea Dragon Palace!"
Saying that, Qin Jue swam in first.
There seemed to be a clear dividing line at the edge of the sinkhole, and once it was crossed, the huge suction force would completely lock the person, and sure enough, everyone began to fall rapidly downward.
Xiuxiu......
Without any resistance power, it has been falling in the endless abyss, I don't know how long it has been, and I don't know where the end is.
Bang......
At this moment, a violent tremor was heard, and it was as if a huge steel gate had burst open under everyone's feet, and their eyes lit up, and in the blink of an eye, they penetrated through the light curtain.
Boom......
Everyone fell heavily to the ground, and Xuanwu couldn't help but get up.
", I fell to death Lao Tzu, this Nima is such a big acceleration, Lao Tzu's waist is about to break. ”
Looking up, everyone's faces were surprised, everything in front of them was so beautiful, there was a blooming peach blossom forest in the eyes, there were many petals, pink everywhere, a warm breeze blowing, bursts of petals flying.
"Here...... It's so beautiful!" sighed softly.
Qin Jue's face was also slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Yes, it seems that compared with the landscape peach blossom source in the black bamboo ditch, this place should be called the peach blossom source!"
At this moment, there was a burst of singing not far away, the singing was crisp and loud, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
"Flowers bloom everywhere in the ancient green hills, life and death are determined here, if the lover pities me, love each other from now on......"
At this time, Qin Jue's face twitched unconsciously, and he sighed softly: "Qingqiu?
Qingqiu is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, "Three hundred miles to the east, it is said that the mountain of Qingqiu, its yang is more jade, and its yin is more green." There is a beast, its shape is like a fox and nine tails, its sound is like a baby, it can eat people, and the eater is not Gu. Since then, the legend of Qingqiu and the nine-tailed fox has never been broken, Qingqiu is a fairyland outside the world, with too many supernatural legends, it is unthinkable that this peach orchard in front of everyone is the ancient Qingqiu.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a young man playing in the peach blossom forest, and he was followed by a white fox, this fox is really not simple, everyone looked carefully, it has three hairy and slender tails, like a flag in the body erected. As if seeing everyone, the fox immediately became vigilant, ran to the boy and spun around, and the boy quickly stopped.
"There are people, but they don't seem to be dressed in our valley. The little boy frowned, walked over slowly, and greeted everyone.
"Did you come in from outside, and how did you come to us?"
The little boy is very cute, and he doesn't recognize life at all.
Xuanwu smiled slightly, hurriedly walked over, and asked with a smile: "Hello, little brother, may I ask what kind of place you are here? Our ship ran aground in this sea area, and the ship capsized, and we fell in." ”
"Cut, who is your brother, my mother said, a fat man like you will deceive people, don't think I don't know, you are wearing a diving suit, how could it be that it fell off suddenly, I see that you obviously broke in on purpose, and you want to trick me, I won't be fooled, Xiaobai, let's go, go back and tell Xia Tao's brother to go and let him arrest them all." So saying, the boy took the little fox and turned to run.
Qin Jue glanced at Xuanwu, and there seemed to be a complaint in his expression.
But at this time, Yu Yue hurriedly shouted: "Little brother, you wait a minute, my sister has something to tell you." With that, she walked over too, still holding a box of chocolate candy in her hand.
"Sister has no malicious intentions, we just heard from the elders that there is an undersea dragon palace here, so we came here to look for it, but I didn't expect to find it here, this is my sister's favorite chocolate, is it good for you, my sister is lost, can you take us out?"
The little boy hesitated for a moment, but then stopped, and muttered in a low voice: "Mother said that you can't ask for anything that a beautiful woman gives, it will poison me." However, I don't think you're really a bad person, big sister......"
Yu Yue covered her smile and hurriedly opened the box, took a chocolate and put it in her mouth, "Look, if it's really poisonous, let's poison my sister first, okay?" We really came in accidentally, can you take us to your village to have a look?"
The little boy didn't run anymore, but took the candy from Yuyue's hand in disbelief, took one and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Wow, it's really delicious, it seems that the big sister is really not a bad person, unlike that dead fat man, who knows how to deceive people. ”
The corners of Xuanwu's mouth twitched, and he complained: "Hey, you little fat man, what's wrong with Lao Tzu's fatness? Maybe when you grow up, this figure is not as good as Lao Tzu?"
The little boy stuck out his tongue at him and chuckled: "My mother said, I am baby fat, and I will be thin when I grow up, and I think I will at least be similar to this big brother in the future." As he spoke, he pointed at Qin Jue again, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Finally, everyone got acquainted with the little boy, changed out of his diving suit, and everyone followed the little boy to a village in the distance. According to him, this place is indeed called Qingqiu, but it is different from the legend, although there are many foxes here, but it is not the territory ruled by the nine-tailed fox, the place here is very large, but it can basically be divided into three major family forces, one of which is the Xia surname clan, originally they were the largest force in Qingqiu Plain, but unfortunately it gradually withered a hundred years ago; They are also the most peaceful clans, so they rarely participate in the battles between the two families, but they are the most numerous.
The three major families have their own demarcated territory, and they have always been harmonious with each other, but unfortunately, since a hundred years ago, the Xia family and the Ao family have fought more frequently, and even the Bai family was involved more than ten years ago, and the war spread widely for a while. A few years later, the boy's father was killed in a tri-clan battle, so her mother took him to the countryside, hoping for a peaceful life here.
After learning all this, Qin Jue had a guess in his heart.
"This Xia family is the descendants of Dayu, since Xia Qi established the Xia Dynasty, it began to rule the 'family world'; and the Ao family is likely to be the descendants of the dragon clan of the so-called Dragon Palace of the East China Sea; as for the Bai family, it seems that it should be the aborigines of this Qingqiu, only because of the great changes in heaven and earth, these three clans have gathered together by chance, and it seems that this is where we are coming. ”
Everyone nodded, Qin Jue's analysis was still very reasonable.
Without further delay, they followed the boy home at his affectionate invitation.
Beyond this huge peach blossom forest, everyone saw a small town, at a glance, it is not very big, and it is surrounded by mountains on both sides, one side is by the river, only a gap in the southeast, although it is remote, but it is rare and quiet, and the little boy in the distance led everyone to swagger over. Everyone in the village seemed to know the little boy, and they all smiled and greeted Ali as they watched him walk past Ali.
And the little boy was also very polite, he smiled and waved his hand when he met people, and laughed; "Look, our family has relatives, and they all go to my house for dinner at night......
Hearing the little boy's words, everyone pulled him to ask for a while, and it could be seen that the people here were still very hospitable, and when they saw this group of strangers, instead of showing hostility, they were very welcome.
Finally, when they arrived at a thatched hut not far away, everyone stopped and saw a woman in her thirties watering the vegetable patch next to the house. Seeing that the little boy had returned, the woman hurried up to meet him.
"Little gold, didn't you go out to play, why did you come back so soon?"
The little boy hurriedly took out the candy in his hand, grabbed a few and stuffed them into the woman's mouth, "Mom, I picked up a group of big brothers and sisters in the peach blossom forest, and when I came back, I told the people in the village that our family had relatives, and let them come to our house for dinner at night?"
The woman's face was slightly embarrassed, and she complained: "You like to make decisions randomly, we don't have anything at home, and when they come, what will they eat?"
Having said that, the woman hurriedly walked over, bowed to Qin Jue and the others, and then led everyone into the house.
This thatched house is not big, to be precise, there are only two, but together it is only more than thirty square meters, a hall, a bedroom, the hall is also very simple, a dilapidated wooden table still has their leftovers, a plate of pickles, with a few sweet potatoes, this day is indeed poor enough.
But the little boy didn't seem to care, patted his chest and smiled: "Mom, don't worry, I'll go to the mountains for a while, and I'll take a wild boar for you to come back. ”
The woman chuckled softly and whispered, "Okay, it's all up to you." However, you don't want to go into the mountains, let's stay here and accompany your big brothers and sisters, mom will go out for a while, and I will come back later, I will definitely make your banquet beautiful. ”
"Yes!" with the woman's assurance, the little boy was extremely excited.
However, everything was seen by Qin Jue, and he smiled slightly, "By the way, sister-in-law, since we all say that we are relatives of your family, then naturally we have to do something, I don't know what prey there are on this mountain, and are there any taboos?"
"Uh...... Are you going to hunt? No, no, how can I let you go?" said the woman hurriedly.
Qin Jue smiled and said in a low voice: "It's okay, I often hunt at home, and this little thing can't bother me." With that, Qin Jue pulled Qin Zulong and was about to walk out.
The woman frowned, but nodded in agreement.
"By the way, there are a lot of beasts on this mountain, except for foxes, you can bring anything you can bring back, we don't have so many restrictions here, but foxes never eat. The woman solemnly explained.
"Okay, we'll be back soon!" Qin Jue waved his hand, and the two went up the mountain together.
On the other side, Su Yue opened the big baggage brought by Xuanwu, which was full of canned food, cigarettes, alcohol, fruits, etc., she took out the things, handed them all to the woman, and helped her start preparing for the dinner party.
Xuanwu was really bored, so he took a jar of canned fruit from the side and began to tease the little boy.
Originally, the little boy seemed to be very defensive of Xuanwu, but under the temptation of canned food, he was quickly conquered, and in this way, two fat people, one big and one small, quickly became familiar.
After about an hour, Qin Jue and Qin Zulong came back, the two of them were indeed ruthless enough, one carried a wild boar and a deer, and the other directly carried a tiger and a bear. After coming back, the two began to deal with it, and Qin Shi Huang, who wanted to come to the court, actually did a cook's errand with Qin Jue, no matter how he thought about it, it was a little funny.
At six o'clock in the evening, as soon as it was dark, the people of the village came one after another. At this time, Qin Jue was leaning on the tiger. Seeing so many prey, the people in the village were also surprised, and praised them vigorously, and the little boy was also very happy, and distributed candy given to him by Xuanwu around the crowd.
Seeing this, the woman on the side didn't feel a slight redness in her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Alas...... I've never seen Kaneko's father so happy since he died, so I'm really grateful to you this time. ”
Yu Yue smiled slightly and comforted: "It's okay, didn't Xiao Jinzi say everything, we are relatives of your family, these are what we should do." Little gold is really cute, and the people here are very welcoming, if I can, I would really like to live here forever!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then began to prepare side dishes again.
