Chapter 151: Parchment from the East China Sea
For a while, Gu Qi was a little unsure of where to start, she also knew that dragon turtle shells were rare, but this was a matter of the safety of zongzi, she couldn't say it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Old man, I can only tell you that I have an important role in this dragon turtle shell, and I definitely don't want to take it for myself, so can you tell the little woman about the dragon turtle shell?" Gu Qi looked at the old man with an honest face, trying to make himself more credible.
The old man raised his eyes slightly, looked at her carefully, Gu Qi frowned slightly, and his face was as patient as possible, because for some reason, she always felt that this old man might know something.
The old man's face suddenly rippled, and his eyes that had gone through vicissitudes couldn't help but look into the distance, as if he was remembering something.
Gu Qi didn't dare to disturb, so he had to wait quietly.
"That was a long time ago," said the old man's voice, which was a little hoarse, "I was still very young at that time, and I guess it was the girl's current age, and at that time I liked to travel in various places, and I heard that there was a beautiful scenery in the East China Sea, so I went with a caravan to the east." ”
"You should know that young people are always curious about new things, and when I was young, I was no exception, or even worse." The old man spoke slowly, and the expression on his face also changed: "At that time, I liked to collect all kinds of strange medicinal materials, so I wanted to go to the East China Sea to have a look, but I didn't find what I wanted, and I almost lost my life." ”
"Oh, what the hell is going on?" Hearing the old man say this, Gu Qi couldn't help but be interested, raised his chin, and listened carefully to the old man's story.
Seeing that Gu Qi listened so seriously, the old man was a little embarrassed, waved his hand and said: "This East China Sea has always been known as the mysterious sea, in addition to the endless vast sea, it is said that there are many things that we can't explore under that mysterious sea. At that time, I was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and when I arrived in the East China Sea, I shouted that I wanted to visit the sea, and finally the leader of the caravan could not resist me, so he took me and his group of men to borrow a small boat and sailed into the East China Sea. ”
"That's the bluest sea I've ever seen!" The old man sighed while reminiscing, and the expression he saw could also think of the shock of the scene at that time, so many years have passed, and he can still remember it in his heart, knowing that the scene must have made him unsatisfied.
Gu Qi listened to the old man continue: "That day, it was really a very pleasant day, the leader of the caravan took a few of us young people to swim in the blue sea for a while, and also took the opportunity to catch corals, pearls and other good things with fishing nets, and those large and small fish needless to say, a few of us were so happy that we were overjoyed, but we didn't know that the crisis had come......"
"Just as we were about to sail back, disaster suddenly struck, and the calm sea suddenly set off a monstrous wave, and several of us were so frightened that we firmly clung to the side of the ship, but we were still overturned to the bottom of the sea by the huge waves." The old man suddenly shuddered as he spoke, which frightened Gu Qi and made him nervous.
"Fortunately, several of us were water-savvy, and although we were knocked over in the sea by the waves, we were still awake, and I remember that several young men of the caravan around me were still exaggerating and tidying up, and they didn't seem to be afraid of the situation at all. But at this time, suddenly a strong smell of blood came, and I saw a black shadow in the distance, and then several people around disappeared. ”
Gu Qi couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when he heard the old man talk about what happened at that time.
The old man glanced at her, and then said: "At that time, I didn't know what it was, but instinctively followed a few other people to the surface of the water, it seemed that only in this way could we get rid of the behemoth in the water, a few of us desperately swam to the surface, but the other people then disappeared." I felt as if there were big eyes on our every move at the bottom of the sea, and we were just meat in the eyes of the 'monster'. ”
The old man sighed, looking several years older.
"And how did you escape from that monster's mouth? This monster is the dragon turtle I'm looking for? Gu Qi couldn't help asking, she had a feeling that the monster that the old man was talking about might be the dragon turtle she was looking for, but since this thing was so fierce when it was alive, it would probably be even more difficult to take its shell, unless that thing died naturally.
The old man thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't know how I escaped from the monster's mouth at that time, I only know that I felt a strong suction force that kept sucking back, and at this time the bag I had been carrying fell off and fell down in the direction of the undercurrent, and after a while, the bottom of the sea regained calm again, until I struggled to swim out of the sea and was picked up by the ships that came and went on the sea, and the black shadow did not appear." ”
"But how are you sure that the one who attacked you was the dragon turtle? The witnesses who were with you at the time have also disappeared, are you sure it wasn't another animal? Gu Qi looked at the old man and asked, it is a matter of life and death for zongzi, and she can't tolerate a trace of sloppiness.
The old man looked at Gu Qi and didn't speak, just trembled. Shaking his hand, he reached into the inner pocket close to his chest, took out a crumpled piece of parchment, and opened it in front of Gu Qi.
"Look, girl, this was given to me by the locals who live in the East China Sea, saying that I was favored by the gods of the East China Sea and should know their story."
Gu Qi took the brown parchment, followed the light at the door, and looked at it carefully.
This parchment is written in cinnabar, although I don't know how long it has been, how many people's hands have passed, but the lines on this paper are already clearly visible, although the painter's technique seems very simple, but the real simple few strokes, but the image of the "God of the East China Sea" is clearly depicted.
A big head with horns, a hideous face, but below the neck it looks like a turtle, with a thick turtle shell, thick and powerful limbs, and this sharp claw, obviously this should also be one of the unique skills of this dragon turtle.
And on this painting, in addition to this huge behemoth accident, there is also a sacrificial person, holding flowers and plants that I don't know what they are, facing the sea to worship, and after a while, many huge round black shadows on the sea surface floated up and surrounded the sacrificial person.
This...... Could it be the local ancestor of the East China Sea?
Gu Qi looked at this thin piece of parchment with some disbelief, if someone had been able to summon the manic dragon turtle to be quiet through something long ago, then now can it also be done?
If this is really possible, doesn't it mean that they don't have to look hard, they just want to find a way to summon them?
