49. Red line

It is rumored that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of which is different.

Owl Kiss is the youngest of the nine true dragon sons, the ninth, and has been very loved by the eight elder brothers in the past - I heard that even the gluttonous who can swallow the mountains, rivers, sun and moon, and cut the door will find a piece of meat from between his teeth and feed it to Owl Kiss to eat.

It's just that Kiss has not been very good since he was a child, and Xie Bi'an doesn't know a lot about the relationship between him and Weak Water. It was probably a long time ago, after a tribulation under weak water, the day he came back, he was holding a fish with a golden glow all over his body, but it looked like he was about to die.

That fish is the kiss of the owl, the appearance and personality of the nine sons of the dragon are different, the kiss is the divine beast of the dragon head and the body of the fish, the temperament is more shy and afraid of people, on weekdays in the weak water river to emerge, spitting bubbles to look at the silent ghost who walked on the bridge of Naihe.

Ten thousand years of time has allowed him to calmly face those ghosts who always say nothing, occasionally encounter one or two souls that still retain the consciousness of life, and will take the initiative to follow him in the river to swim near the wheel platform.

When the weak water is not there, Xie Bi'an can often be seen by the weak water river for fear of being discovered, and hurriedly buries himself under the water, pretending that no one can see his owl kiss.

Xie Bi'an didn't try to demolish him, just smiled and pretended not to see anything, occasionally found it interesting, and just looked at it in a hidden place on the shore for a while.

At that time, the owl usually used its two fins to pick up the stones, and the tail was still immersed in the weak water river, poking out its little head to look around secretly, and seeing that there was no movement around, it would quietly continue to swim around in the weak water river where there was nothing.

The little guy is very timid and stutters when he is frightened. Preference for curiosity and big ...... Xie Bi'an couldn't help but laugh secretly.

"But if you talk about the ......Owl Kiss," Yue Lao frowned and groaned, a little distressed, "The Owl Kiss was brought out by the weak water from the junction of heaven and earth, and it wasn't just what he said to the prison cow that day, the prison cow was actually willing to let the weak water bring the weak water back to the underworld." ”

"Huh?" Xie Bi'an blinked, "This is also related to the Imprisoned Bull God General?" ”

"I don't know the details, but although I am rooted in the resting soil, the person in charge of the resting soil is an owl." The old man under the moon held his beard and recalled: "The Divine Monarch should also remember that ten thousand years ago, the Yehe Dongling Immortal Monarch was in turmoil due to the Demon Dragon Dragon's tendon guide, and he seriously injured the Yehe Divine Monarch by mistake, and the guide zhì Yehe Shenjun feathered and dissipated in this world for a long time. ”

"At that time, it happened that the Sky Swallowing Whale Clan was almost extinct due to the conditions of heaven and earth, and the Whale Clan Patriarch Prison Fan led all the adult Sky Swallowing Whale Clan to sacrifice to the sky, hoping that the laws of heaven and earth could allow their clan to continue. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work out in the end. A powerful race disappeared from the world, and Fuqiongyu disappeared from the West Sea. Yue Lao's tone was full of sighs, as if recalling the prosperous past of the Sky Swallowing Whale Clan in his impression.

Although it is not easy for the Sky Swallowing Whale to reproduce, the almost permanent lifespan of a whale still makes the mountains and rivers of the heavens and the earth unbearable - whether it is a human form or a whale body, the amount of food in a meal of a whole group of Sky Swallowing Whales can wipe out all the creatures of a small body of water. In the long run, all the fish and shrimp in the ocean were eaten up, and they could not escape the fate of extermination.

Xie Bi'an nodded, in fact, not many people know about this matter.

Because the age is too old, there are still many records in the book, but the current juniors just listen to it as a story, and not many people can understand from the bottom of their hearts how tragic the scene at that time was.

There are only a few dozen Sky-Swallowing Whales left to live in different seas - their body shape and food appetite are destined to be separated from the herd from the moment they are born, and they will stay in a place where they can eat enough, and they will not be able to step out of such a small circle at will throughout their lives.

On that day, they all turned into prototypes, covered in dazzling spirits, hissing in unison in the direction of the sun and moon, hissing and wailing about the unpredictable future life of the Sky Eater Whale and the worry of the calf after the loss of their father.

Subsequently, one by one, they stopped breathing and sacrificed their lives at the cost of using themselves as nourishment to re-nourish the world, hoping to continue the reproduction of the race.

On that day, anyone who saw it with his own eyes will never forget it for the rest of his life.

All the people who got the news gathered in the sky of the four seas to pray for the blessing of the Sky Swallowing Whale - and it was on that day that the legend that spread in the underworld became a reality.

Heaven and earth are sad.

On that day, the Yellow Springs River flowed backwards, and the Manzhu Sawa bloomed on all the soil where the Yellow Springs flowed, and the Santu River was stained red with blood, and the sky and the earth were all crimson as far as the eye could see.

"The weak water went to find the rest of the soil that time, in order to let the flooded weak water river return to the underworld from the four seas and eight desolations." Xie Bi'an pursed his lips and said.

"He told me why, because he did succeed." The old man under the moon nodded, the crutches in his hand propped up on the ground, stood up and beat his waist, and after loosening his muscles, he jumped twice, and he didn't look old at all, "It's just that since then, he will rapidly decline into Lao Su every Zhengyang season, and he can't enter the weak water river of the world." ”

Xie Bi'an was smart, and he immediately figured out the reason for this.

In the flooding of the Yellow Spring River that day, in fact, it was not only the word Yellow Spring.

The Yellow Spring is just the name of the moat that surrounds the underworld, but what can really kill people is the weak water flowing in the inland river.

There is not a single creature in the weak river, because no man or god can float in the weak river, and the owl is the master of the soil, and the soil is the nemesis of the weak river, so the owl can stay in the weak river all the time.

But at that time, the sip was handed over to the weak water by the owl to block the weak water dam that was missing, and without the rest of the soil, the shear would probably become weaker and weaker, so it could only stay in the weak water river and never go out.

And the prisoner fan that Yue Lao said was willing to agree to the kiss and the weak water to return to the underworld, I am afraid that there is such a layer of concerns.

The old man puffed out his mouth like a naughty boy, his beard gently floated along the wind, and he puffed up angrily: "In this way, wouldn't the old man personally come to the door to beg for wine and eat, shame, shame." ”

As a new deity, Yue Lao ran to the underworld to beg for wine and food on the first day when the door of the Song Shang Palace was opened.

Xie Bi'an thought for a while, then took out a jar of wine from his pocket, and said: "Qingqiu's Bai Zhan Shenjun is also a good hand at winemaking, this jar of wine is buried in the ground of Qingqiu, although the time is shorter, but Qingqiu's aura is very rich. If the old man doesn't dislike it, he will do it first. ”

"Don't dislike it. Don't dislike. Yue Lao's face suddenly flushed a lot with joy, and he happily hugged the wine jar baby in his arms, grinning with a smile, and his eyes narrowed into a slit, "Oh, the Impermanent Divine Monarch is really generous, I don't know if the two of them came at the same time this time, but what's the matter?" ”

The fairy Yue Lao, who had a serious prayer in his hand, would probably come to greet him in person, but when he came to them alone, he had to ask for a bowl of wine to drink first.

Xie Bi'an raised his eyebrows, but there was a smile on his face, and said, "Ah Yu and I want to come and ask for a red line. ”

"Red line?" Yue Lao smiled with a beaming face, "This is easy to say, easy to say." ”

As he spoke, Yue Lao handed over the wine jar in his hand to Xiao Huaixian, who didn't know when he jumped out again, and after carefully watching him put it away, he suddenly grabbed the crutch in his hand and gently knocked it on his buttocks.

"Little bastard, I want the old man to clean up the mess for you all day long! I have told you a long time ago that although the fruit you produce is magical and precious, you can't just give it to others, why don't you stop! Yue Lao was angry and didn't fight in one place, looked left and right that a few of them were still in the enchantment, and suddenly sat on the ground with a relieved ass, hugged his arms and snorted coldly, "As the saying goes, cause and effect, cause and effect, there is cause and effect, and there is naturally effect." Although the unforgivable Divine Monarch saved you first, it was a big taboo for you to give him your natal fruit. ”

"Natal fruit?" Xie Bi'an was also taken aback, and hurriedly took the fruit from Fan Wuxuan's body, which although the aura was compelling, but it didn't look very inconspicuous.

The fruit is still green, and although it looks very bright, it is not different from ordinary fruits other than that.

Yue Lao coaxed to look at the aggrieved little Huaixian who wiped his tears with his hands, and after a while, he was distressed again, and stood up with his teeth grinning and rubbing his buttocks, "This child was born next to the marriage temple enshrined in the world, and since he gave birth to Lingzhi, he has been regarded as a marriage tree and has hung a lot of blessing brands." Later, because of a fire, he almost couldn't save his life - thanks to Long Xing, the second son of the Long family, the river lord in the Zimu River, who directly fused his inner pill with his demon pill, not only picked up a small life, but also bore fruit to send children. ”

Although this sounds like a good thing, sending Ziguo has always been against the sky. A single fruit can impregnate a god, and it is a fruit that can be produced with his natal spirit body, and only one fruit can be cultivated for thousands of years. He originally wanted to repay his kindness, but he did bad things. Yue Lao turned around and knocked on Zhizhi's head again, "The old man can only ask the Divine Monarch for one thing, and then give it to the two of them for marriage." ”

"I see." Xie Bi'an breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and looked at the pitiful branch that was crying on the side, with a red nose, beckoned, and moved to his side in small steps, and said to the child who was still sobbing: "Now that you know the reason, you have to pay attention to it in the future, you know." ”

"Yes, yes." Zhizhi wiped two handfuls of tears, and was afraid of being wronged in Xie Bi'an's arms, so he opened his mouth and cried out at a time, "I, I will never give people fruit again......"

"Oh, it's not like it's not a complete no-delivery." Xie Bi'an tilted his head sideways and blinked, "But you must know that if the gods want to give birth to their own children and ask you for the fruit of the child, then they will have to pay the corresponding price. ”

Yue Lao thought about it on the side, and nodded with a smile on his face in agreement.

Zhizhi nodded in agreement, hurriedly took out a blank piece of paper from his arms, and after taking the pen seriously and writing it down word by word, he stared at a pair of dark eyes, looked at Xie Bi'an expectantly, and said, "Yet, then where?" ”

"And then?" Xie Bi'an thought for a moment and smiled, "If you feel that what they have given you is enough, you can use what they give you to benefit all things in the world." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Huaixian responded crisply, didn't stop hiccuping, seriously lay on the ground and pouted his butt to write down what Xie Bi'an said, and looked back and forth a few times, and then carefully folded it and received it in his arms.

He embarrassedly pulled the two small leaves on his head, and said to Xie Bi'an with a red face: "Ah Jiao said that I am not very smart, and the master is willing to accept me as a personal disciple because he likes me." If I was asked to memorize what the master told me, I, I couldn't remember it, so I had to take a note. ”

Yue Lao snorted a little on the side, turning his back as if he was dissatisfied, but the corners of his big grinning mouth betrayed him, "The relatives of the dragon clan personally carried this dying little locust spirit to the door, just asking for a place to take root, and I am embarrassed to object." ”

Zhizhi smiled happily, and did not let go of the hand holding the leaves, and slowly jumped to Yue Lao's side, and said coquettishly: "Master, Zhizhi knows that he is wrong, and he will definitely not make it again in the future." ”

"That's pretty much it." Yue Lao pulled his face angrily, stretched out his hand and pulled the soft face of the branches, and then turned to Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu and said, "Since the words have been said here, the two Divine Monarchs will come with me." ”
