Chapter 229 The Dragon's Clan (3)
It's too late, it's too fast, and when Martha's changing crocodile stretched out its long mouth and bit Chen Shuqing, Chen Shuqing had already raised her right hand to carry the demonic energy to block.
Under Sun Xiaoshu's careful treatment, Chen Shuqing's wound cut by the Holy Sword Zhu Yuan's howl had healed, and she would not attack due to the use of demonic power, so she hit Martha's mouth with full force.
The two demonic forces collided, and suddenly a loud noise came out, Chen Shuqing's right hand was torn out of a huge gap, the bones were broken, as if the palm of the hand was about to leave the arm, and suddenly sat back on the bed in pain, and Martha was also knocked to the ground, reverted to her human form, with a long mouth, unconscious.
At the same time, the original festive decoration of the wedding room also disappeared and changed back to the previous simple wooden house. Under the impact of two demonic forces, the wooden house "clicked" and shook, and then it regained its stability.
"Sister Shuqing!" Sun Xiaoshu saw that Chen Shuqing was injured again, so he stepped forward to support Chen Shuqing, and stretched out a vine to treat Chen Shuqing.
"Madame!"
"Grandma!"
Pei Ruo and Xi Lang naturally cared more about Marsha's side, and hurriedly squatted down and helped Marsa up in a coma.
Chen Shuqing changed back into a human form and said angrily: "What does this mean? Why did Lady Martha attack me? ”
Pei Ruo hurriedly said: "Miss Shuqing, I'm really sorry, Madame, she is like this, moody, when she sees something she likes, she can be as happy as a child, but once she has something wrong, she will immediately go crazy, for example, she can't hear who calls us 'Pig Po Long'......"
"Then I can't help her first." Chen Shuqing shrugged helplessly and said, "Quickly lift her up, and let Xiaoshu also treat Lady Martha." ”
Pei Ruo said: "No, no, Madame just fainted, once she wakes up at this time, her anger has not subsided, and she may have another seizure." We will carry her back to the lake and rest for a day before she returns to her normal state. After speaking, he instructed Xilang: "Xilang, let's carry her back quickly." ”
"Good!" Xilang promised Pei Ruo, while glancing at Chen Shuqing and Sun Xiaoshu, especially staying on Chen Shuqing with a curious gaze for a moment, and said, "Two, this conflict is purely a misunderstanding, don't take it to heart, and take care of your injuries here, we will arrange three meals a day for you." ”
After saying that, Pero and Xilang held hands and moved the fat Martha out of the house.
The wooden house was instantly quiet, and even the slight sound of waves crashing on the shore in the distance could be heard clearly, Sun Xiaoshu always needed to concentrate when he practiced, so he sat down, Chen Shuqing also knew this, so he didn't say much, and fell on the bed to recuperate.
In the evening, the sky was getting dark, and Chen Shuqing's wound had been healed, so Sun Xiaoshu stopped what he was doing, opened his eyes and asked, "Does it still hurt?" ”
Chen Shuqing moved her right wrist and calmly responded: "It doesn't hurt, thanks to you always being by your side, treating my wounds again and again." Then, he thought of something again, and said with a distracted gaze: "I just don't know Xiao Qi, whether they are dead or alive now, alas, ......"
Outside the door, Pei Ruo and Xi Lang had been waiting for a while with the food, and through the window, they saw that Sun Xiaoshu had stopped doing it, so they pushed open the door and entered, putting the food on the table.
Xilang greeted politely: "The conditions here are simple, and I don't know if these meals are suitable for the appetite of the two of you, so please bear with me." ”
On the plate, there are some boiled fish and shrimp, oysters and other aquatic products, which look full of color and flavor, Sun Xiaoshu took the lead in exclaiming: "Wow, fish and shrimp, I like it." Then he reached out and pinched a shrimp and put it in his mouth.
Chen Shuqing said with a smile: "We have long been accustomed to the way of life in the world, and everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the water can all be accepted." But I have been taken care of by you so much, I don't know how to thank you. ”
"Girls don't have to be polite, just like the food, hehe." Pei Ruo said, "Now that Madame is not here, we can talk a little more openly, may I ask where did the girl learn the title of 'Pig Po Dragon'?" For more than 100 years, some people have indeed called us that, and we are very puzzled. ”
Chen Shuqing asked with a smile: "Have you two read "Strange Tales from Liaozhai"? ”
Pei Ruo shook her head and said, "I've never read it." ”
Chen Shuqing explained: "Strange Tales of Liao Zhai" was written by Mr. Pu Songling, who lived in the era of more than 100 years ago, as the most powerful purification messenger in history, Mr. dealt with many monsters during his lifetime, and then wrote many ghost stories, including a chapter, called "Pig Po Dragon", which is about a monster shaped like a dragon in Jiangxi, but shorter than the dragon's body, and often flies out of the water along the river bank to catch geese and ducks to eat. This chapter is very short, there is no story, and it is very different from other chatting stories, probably when Mr. passed through this Poyang Lake, and happened to meet some of your clansmen, so he wrote an ordinary anecdote. ”
"I see." Pei Ruo said thoughtfully, "But Jiangxi is so big, how does the girl think that Zhu Polong is us?" ”
Chen Shuqing said: "At first, I didn't associate 'Pig Dragon' with you, but Lady Martha mentioned two points, which are highly consistent with Pig Dragon? ”
"Oh? Which two points? ”
"The first is that the original name of this place is 'Zhu Po Mountain', and the second is that Mr. wrote in the article that there is a person and his descendants who love to eat Zhu Po dragon meat, and this person is Chen Youliang. You say, "This is not what it is written about you, who else can it be?" Alas, I don't know if it was Mr. himself's name, or I heard others call it by chance, in short, Mr. is too famous, and the reputation of 'Zhu Polong' was carried forward by him. ”
Pei Ruo was stunned, looked at Xilang on the side, and laughed awkwardly.
Xilang said: "I have heard of the book "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", but our people live at the bottom of the lake and have never been in the habit of reading. The author called Pu Songling, although he is a purification messenger and meets our people, he does not kill demons indiscriminately, but he is worthy of respect. ”
Chen Shuqing was very relieved to see Xilang praising Pu Songling, and said, "Isn't it?" To tell you the truth, I am the fox demon raised by Mr. Pu Songling, and after learning a lot of things from Mr. Pu, I am determined to become a human being. In order to fulfill my wishes, my husband spent his life creating a secret book that can purify youkai into humans, "Mixed Moon Decision", but before he could turn me into a human, my husband unfortunately passed away, and "Mixed Moon Decision" became broken. Those fragments are scattered all over the world, and it is in order to collect these fragments that I began my journey with my companions. Now, we have only obtained a fragment and hid it in my body, and it just so happened that that night, Sun Xiaoshu, who was a small leaf red bean, was casting a spell, and he couldn't hide the purification power breath in my body, so you mistakenly thought that I was a purification messenger and brought me back, but the real purification messenger Pu Zixuan was nowhere to be found. ”
"Understood, Miss Shuqing, since you are not a purification messenger, then we bring you back, and it is not in line with the fortune teller's prophecy." After Xilang finished speaking to Chen Shuqing, he suggested to Pei Ruo, "Elder, it's better to let them go." ”
Pei Ruo smiled awkwardly and teased herself: "I'm just the head of a 'nominal' clan, how dare I call the shots for such a big matter?" ”
Chen Shuqing saw Pei Ruo's concern, and said with a smile: "I understand the intentions of the two, but I also owe Lady Martha an apology, it is better to wait for Lady Martha to wake up, I will formally apologize to her, and then say goodbye." Then, he thought of something and asked, "By the way, the fortune teller you are talking about, is he accurate?" ”
Pei Ruo replied proudly: "Miss Shuqing doesn't have to doubt that we have such capable people in both races, they will not tell fortunes easily, but once they make a prediction, so far, they have never failed." ”
Chen Shuqing's eyes flashed with a light of hope, and she said in a straight voice: "Then since I am not the purification messenger he said, there must be other purification messengers here, I believe that the person mentioned in the prophecy is Pu Zixuan, why don't I wait for his arrival here?" ”
"Well......" Pei Ruo sighed, "I can understand the girl's feelings, but I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, not long ago, another purification messenger was wrecked in the devil's waters, and we also rescued him and placed him in another wooden house nearby, I'm afraid, he will be the one who saved the dragons in the prophecy." ”
"What?" Chen Shuqing's eyes widened, "On this island, there is a purification envoy?" ”
Sun Xiaoshu said: "Actually, I have never had a chance to tell you that there is indeed a purifying force on this island. ”
"Where is he? Please take me to meet him! Chen Shuqing said loudly.
Peruo said: "This, but...... I can't be the master. ”
Seeing Pei Ruo's cowardice, Xi Lang on the side suddenly said disdainfully: "Oh, Elder, you are too much, right?" I don't think I need to ask my grandmother for this matter at all. If you are afraid, I will take them. ”
"Hey, you kid, who said I was scared...... Well, come with me, both of you. After speaking, Pei Ruo led Chen Shuqing and Sun Xiaoshu out of the door.
Before going out, Chen Shuqing cast a spell slightly, only to see that the large pile of oyster shells on the dinner plate automatically separated, and the delicious meat in them obediently flew into her mouth.
