Chapter 9: The Covenant of Penglai
What Xu Fu didn't expect was that this demon was not a merman, the fat in his body could not be burned, and the fire oil would be drowned in the water. So the demon turtle took the flames on his body and endured the pain to get under the water.
When the giant fish saw it, it rushed towards the demon turtle again, and at this time, the waves on the sea surface became smaller and smaller, and the sea water became more and more red. When everyone was worried about the giant fish, the black and scorched body of the demon turtle surfaced and floated there quietly, not knowing whether it was dead or alive.
At this time, the scarred giant fish also swam up. looked at Xu Fu and said, "I have already bitten off its demon tendons, and it will never be able to do evil again in the future." From now on, it's just a fish, and there's no danger. As he spoke, blood came out of his mouth.
Xu Fu said distressedly: "How is your injury?" The giant fish shook his mutilated tail and said weakly: "Unexpectedly, this guy has only been cultivating for hundreds of years, and he is so powerful, he is almost not his opponent." It has fainted now, I have bitten off the demon tendons on its back, and it will never be able to cultivate the demon path again, and its previous Taoism has all been reduced to nothing. ”
The giant fish looked at Xu Fu weakly: "The wound on my body is fine, but I just suffered an internal injury, and the injury is not light, I have to go back to the water to heal now." Penglai is still three days away from here at most! Don't worry, in three days, I will come to Penglai to find you. It's just that the waters ahead are up to you, so you must be more careful! ”
Xu Fu's eyes moistened a little: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise we would have died a long time ago." The giant fish flicked its tail: "It's good to have your fire, otherwise I really wouldn't have beaten it." Alright, it's time for me to go. Take care! Three days later, we met in Penglai," after saying that, he flicked his tail and dived into the water and disappeared.
Xu Fu looked at the demon turtle covered in bruises and scorched black, and hurriedly let the boat get closer. When I came to Ao, I saw that sure enough, the spikes on the demon Ao's body had disappeared, and the single horn on the top of his head had also disappeared.
The demon ao is a big carp alive at this time, Xu Fu remembered that the giant fish said that the demon tendons on the back of the demon ao have been bitten off, and he will no longer be able to cultivate the demon path in the future. Xu Fu said to the big carp-shaped demon Ao: "Since you can't do evil in the future, God has the virtue of a good life." I won't do anything to kill them all. Let's go! There are a lot of monsters in this water, so take care of yourself."
The demon looked at the old man in front of him, he wanted to swallow him repeatedly, but he let himself go at the moment, and let himself pay attention to safety. It seems that he is really wrong, but his hundreds of years of Taoism are all gone, and now he is just an ordinary big carp, in fact, what is wrong with being an ordinary big carp.
Thinking of this, Demon Ao glanced at Xu Fu and prepared to leave. Suddenly attracted by the jade plate on Xu Fu's neck. What a strange jade plaque! The demon took a closer look, and then dragged his scarred body into the water and disappeared. At this time, except for the blood-stained water, everything returned to its previous tranquility.
Back on the boat, a disciple asked Xu Fu, "Master, that demon has repeatedly attacked us, why did you let it go?" ”
Xu Fu patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Be forgiving and forgiving, that demon ao doesn't want to eat us, it just wants to snatch the python bead in our hands to cultivate, and it made a comeback this time because of the failure to snatch the python bead last time, plus we provoked it with fire again." Actually, it's us who is wrong, I shouldn't have dug up that python bead in the first place. ”
Xu Fu sighed and continued: "Fortunately, there is a divine fish to help this time, but in fact, the demon ao is also quite pitiful, from a carp after hundreds of years of hard work to become an ao, and then the demon tendon on the back was bitten off by the divine fish, and now it has become a big carp, the previous hundreds of years of Taoism have come to naught, and I can't cultivate anymore in the future, I can only be a carp honestly." I don't know if one day I will be caught and eaten by fishermen. Alas! ”
The disciples asked curiously, "Master, how can there be demon tendons on its back?" Why is it that once its demon tendons are broken, it will never be able to cultivate in the future. Can't the demon tendons be connected? ”
Xu Fu smiled: "Have you ever eaten carp?" Each carp has two tendons on its back, one is a white tendon, and the other is a demon tendon, but it is generally rare to see, and it must be a carp with a way. The demon ao is the carp's cultivation, so the second tendon on its body is called the demon tendon, and as soon as the demon tendon is broken, all the cultivation is in vain. Therefore, the demon Ao became a carp and changed back to his original self. ”
All the disciples nodded one after another: "Master is really well-informed!" Admire, admire! Xu Fu looked at the sky at sunset and said, "Let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to reach Penglai within three days." Don't forget that Shenyu made an agreement with us to see you in Penglai in three days. ”
With no push from the giant fish, the mirage travels very slowly at this time. But fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and no monsters reappeared. During these three days, everyone was ready for everything. Just wait for three days to cross Haideng Island and break into Penglai.
Three days later, the mirage finally reached the location marked on the map, Penglai Island. The mirage stopped in a reef-covered water, and next to it was a majestic mountain, which was full of smoke and even more immortal in the sunlight.
The disciples stood on the deck and shouted excitedly, "This is Penglai!" It's so beautiful! It really looks a little fairy! ”
Xu Fu looked up, and sure enough, he had only seen it when he was passing by from a distance before. Looking at it at such a close distance today, if you don't know the story behind it, you will really think that this is a fairyland on earth.
Xu Fu looked around: "Huh? Why hasn't the Divine Fish arrived yet? Didn't you say goodbye here today three days ago? Could it be that its injuries 。。。。。 ”
"Are you looking for me?" Just as Xu Fu was thinking about it, a familiar voice came. Xu Fu looked around, but there was no sign of the giant fish.
At this time, the voice remembered again: "I'm on this big stone" Xu Fu hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see a young man standing up on a big stone and walking over. The man was disheveled and naked, covered with only a few pieces of fish skin.
Xu Fu looked at the man: "Are you?" The man smiled, "What? Don't know each other? Can you hear my voice? Xu Fu suddenly realized: "You are a divine fish?" How did you become human? ”
The man looked at Xu Fu and said with a smile: "I haven't become a human!" This is nothing more than the conjugation of my Transfiguration Dafa. My big fish is at the bottom of the water over there. ”
Xu Fu smiled and nodded: "Then your injury... The man who transformed into a giant fish smiled: "Oh! I'm fine! As I said, I've cultivated into a divine fish, and I'll be fine after a few days of healing. It's just that the situation in this Penglai Island is very dangerous. I didn't dare to come directly, I only dared to come in the form of a human being. ”
Xu Fu smiled: "Yes! Everyone knows that a fish is so big and the water is so shallow! Hahahaha" everyone laughed too.
The man smiled, "Don't you humans all have names!" Get me one too! Don't be called by the god fish. It's like no one knows I'm a divine fish. ”
Xu Fu nodded: "That's it!" You're a white giant fish, so let's call you Lao Bai" The man laughed: "Lao Bai? Hey! My name is Lao Bai! I have a name, don't call me Shenyu anymore in the future, you have to call me Lao Bai! Several disciples behind Xu Fu arched their hands towards Lao Bai and shouted: "Lao Bai"
Lao Bai nodded happily and hurriedly: "Mmmm, it's good, hahahaha"
Xu Fu asked, "God... Lao Bai, when do you think it's best for us to go to Penglai Island? Yingzhou, where is the abbot? ”
Lao Bai shook his head: "Yingzhou, the two mountains of the abbot sank more than ten years ago, and now they have become a fish nest at the bottom of the sea, and this Penglai Island is the most dangerous." I've never been up before, and I didn't even dare to get close to it. ”
Xu Fu looked at the sky, and said to Lao Bai: "Lao Bai, it's getting late today, and the night is cloudy. Let's go to Penglai Island tomorrow! How about you stay here for the night? ”
Lao Bai shook his head: "No, no, although I can transform into a human form now, I can't leave my body for too long." Besides, have you ever seen a fish living on land? ”
Xu Fu smiled awkwardly: "That's what I said!" It's that I didn't think it through, but how can you accompany me to Penglai Island tomorrow? ”
Lao Bai nodded: "You don't have to worry about this, as long as there is water, even if it's a small puddle." And this Penglai Island is so big, I don't believe that there is no water on it, if there is really no water on it, then I can only come down. ”
Xu Fu looked at Penglai Island and said to Lao Bai: "Look at the trees on the island, there will definitely be water." Lao Bai looked at the wrinkled skin on his body and hurriedly said, "Oh, no." I'm going back to the water. Otherwise, it will become dried fish, so you can rest well, and I'll go. With that, he turned around and jumped off the boat.
After a while, a huge white fish jumped in the sea not far away, it was Lao Bai. Lao Bai's move was to tell everyone on the ship that he was here. When Lao Bai jumped out of the water, Xu Fu and the others noticed that all the wounds on Lao Bai's body were gone, and the mutilated tail from the previous battle against the demon turtle had completely recovered, and it looked thicker than before.
Lao Bai found that everyone was watching him, so he jumped out of the water and got into the water excitedly. Xu Fu shook his head helplessly: "This old white... Then let the disciples rest early and prepare to go to Penglai Island the next day.
