Volume 2 Plane Battle, Chapter 253: The Two Turtles and Snakes
Xie Bi'an continued: Now that the Heavenly Realm has sent this Righteous God Emperor to the Netherworld, is its purpose just to help the Netherworld fight against the invading demons? I don't think things are so simple!
Yang Zhuochao asked: Has Lord Impermanence reported this matter to the above? If the above already knows, then you don't need to worry!
Then he patted Xie Bi'an's shoulder meaningfully and said: The sky is falling, and there are tall people on top of it. You are a ghost, there is no need to get involved in this kind of thing! The most important thing is to do your own job well.
Xie Bi'an asked suspiciously: What kind of job? Oh, yes! I forgot to say, the subordinates of the Zhenwu Emperor, the turtle and the snake generals, have already come to this dead city first. Do you want to go and say hello?
Yang Zhuochao shook his head and said nothing, but he thought in his heart: Two subordinates who are not famous, and they have no friendship, so it's okay if they don't see each other!
Who would have thought that the one who didn't want to see would come to the door by himself! I saw a man with a pot lid on his back, and a man with a thin neck walking towards them at the same time.
Xie Bi'an hurriedly arched his hand and said: The two generals came from afar, it is really hard! I will introduce the two of you, and as she spoke, she began to help the two sides introduce each other. The two heard that Yang Zhuochao was the young master of the "Immortal Holy Mountain", and hurriedly saluted him respectfully!
Yang Zhuochao didn't put up any shelf, and all of them returned the gifts. After a few greetings, Yang Zhuochao introduced several important people on his side one by one.
When Emperor Zhenwu was practicing, he didn't eat grains and made his stomach and intestines so hungry that Emperor Zhenwu was upset, so he took it out and threw it at his feet.
Later, after Emperor Zhenwu became an immortal, his intestines and stomach were stained with aura, and he became the second general of the turtle and snake, and became the goalkeeper of the Ertianmen. The two turtle and snake generals are also called "water and fire two generals" because they were originally two demon kings of water and fire.
At that time, the six demon kings of water, fire, drought, locust, plague and demon endangered the world, and the Jade Emperor edicted Xuanwu to fight with the Dingjia God in the field of Dongyin.
Among them, the two demons only separated from the two qi and turned into a giant snake of the turtle, and Xuanwu trampled it under his feet, and could no longer move, so he surrendered. Later, when the meritorious deeds were rewarded, the giant snake was named the Tianguan Taixuan Fire Spirit, the Destiny Yin General, and the Red Spirit Zun God, and the Canggui was the Earth Axis Taixuan Water Spirit, Yuyang General, and the Black Spirit Zun God. The other four demons were also taken into their subordinates.
And about this Turtle Mountain and Snake Mountain located in the world of China, there is also a magical folklore!
It is said that a long time ago, the turtle and snake generals under the Dragon King of the East China Sea were at odds, and they looked down on each other, and they both boasted about their great skills and often quarreled.
One day, the two of them quarreled again, the turtle will hold the sword, the snake will raise the spear, and fight and kill, stirring the waves in the dragon palace, even the throne of the old dragon king is shaking, and some fish and shrimp aquariums are injured by mistake.
The old dragon king was furious, and sent an edict to send the second prince to tie them up and go to the Yangtze River in the mortal world, one town on the bank of Hanyang and the other on the bank of Wuchang, so that they could think about it here. Since then, they have turned into two mountains of turtles and snakes, facing each other across the river.
Although they were punished, they still disagreed with each other, and they were angry with each other across the river to see who turned into a mountain that grew fast. So the two mountains of turtle and snake grew up day and night, and the top of the two mountains stretched into the river as much as possible, and they both wanted to stretch across the river as soon as possible to bite each other.
This is a bad thing, the waterway of the Yangtze River is getting narrower and narrower, and in less than half a year, it is almost as narrow as the Han River. The catharsis in the upper reaches is not smooth, many fertile land villages are flooded by the river, and people are complaining!
"Lu Dongbin" woke up in Lu Zu Pavilion and knew about it. I thought to myself, if they are so brutal, then they can pay it back, if they want their heads to touch their heads, won't they cut off the big river, and the thousands of acres of fields upstream will not be all Zeguo!
He turned into an old man collecting medicine, carrying a medicine bag and a silver hoe on his shoulder, walked out of Luzu Pavilion, came to the middle of Snake Mountain, held a silver hoe in his hand, and dug a hoe according to the snake's waist. The snake stretched out its whole body, the snake bone on its waist was dug up, and the pain was unbearable, so it had to quickly shrink its head and shrink to the shore of Wuchang, unable to move anymore.
So in the middle of Snake Mountain, it is still much lower, as if it is broken!
Lu Dongbin crossed the river to Hanyang again, he invited skilled craftsmen, overnight, built a "Yuwang Temple" on the head of the turtle mountain, invited Dayu to live in the temple, and stopped the turtle general.
The turtle will be crushed to the numbness, slowly shrinking to the shore of Hanyang, just shrunk to the shore, there is no longer the strength to shrink, so far Guishan has left a rock head in the river, that is, the turtle ~ head.
The turtle and the snake will get out of the way, and the Yangtze River will roll and flow thousands of miles eastward, and it will no longer be hindered.
According to the local legend of Wudang Mountain, Zhenwu came to Wudang Mountain to practice, took off his shoes and socks, sat on the Zen chair day and night, did not move, chanted the Tao quietly, did not eat, and did not drink water.
Zhenwu doesn't eat or drink, which is bitter for his stomach and intestines. The stomach and intestines complained to each other, quarreled endlessly, and made Zhenwu restless, unable to cultivate, and unable to recite sutras.
In a fit of rage, Zhenwu broke his abdomen, grabbed his intestines and stomach, and threw them into the grass behind him with a "bang". Zhenwu quieted down at this time!
The stomach and intestines are hidden in the grass, listening to the chanting of the Zhenwu Sutra day and night. After the mantra enters the marrow, the Tao is possessed, and he becomes able to speak the Tao, is good at flying and running, goes to the sky and enters the sea, and the magic power is vast and the changes are endless.
One day, the intestines arched into Zhenwu's socks with a "swish", and rolled on the ground three times, yo! The intestines turned into a big snake covered in scale armor.
The stomach took Zhenwu's shoes and put them on his back, and he rolled three times, and he turned into a big tortoise with an iron shell. Since then, Zhenwu has no shoes and socks to wear, and he is barefoot.
The turtle and snake slipped down Wudang Mountain, saw the people's pigs and sheep, swallowed them in three bites, and ate them in a few bites when they saw the farmers' cattle and horses, and finally even the people ate them. Once, when they were fighting for a leopard to eat, they fought so dark that the people were not at peace.
At this time, Zhenwu had already cultivated into a god, and when he saw the turtle and snake messing around like this, he drove the auspicious clouds, waved his sword, and went to ambush them.
Emperor Zhenwu shouted: "The turtle and snake surrendered, dare not obey, and will not be spared!" Although the turtle and snake are changed by the belly of the Emperor Zhenwu, they have become a master, where is they willing to listen. They bared their teeth and danced their claws, and pounced on them to fight with the True Martial Emperor.
Emperor Zhenwu suddenly rushed to the crown angrily, waved his sword and slashed several times on the turtle's back, and the turtle's back was full of golden light, leaving only a few marks. Since then, there has been a pattern on the turtle's back.
