Chapter 42: The Nine Sons of the Demon
Although the evil dragon retreated, but Min Laohan because of his age, his body was already relatively weak, coupled with decades of hard work, this time to the evil dragon spit out of the evil water flushed, after returning home immediately fell ill, although the ten sons were cared for in many ways, the old man's condition was still worse day by day, and on the third day, the old man felt that he was about to die, so he asked the eldest son to gather the remaining nine brothers to his bedside,
Min Laohan took the hand of his youngest son and said to his sons: "When I was very young, I heard your grandfather say that there were many fishermen who fished in this area for a living, and then I don't know when there were ten evil dragons in the sea, and they had to come out to do evil once every hundred years, they either ate people, or destroyed houses, and did all kinds of bad things, and the fishermen fought with the evil dragons several times, but they couldn't win, so they had to move to other places, and finally to this day only our family is left, grandpa said to defeat the evil dragons, You must first find the Demon Suppression Orb to suppress the evil water, this Treasure Jewel is hidden in a white-haired old man on Kunlun Mountain, to find the white-haired old man, you must start from here and go west, over 9,999 mountains, flow through 9,999 rivers, and endure a lot of hardships to find it, therefore, after my death, you brothers must do everything possible to find the Demon Suppression Orb, and then twist it into a rope to defeat the evil dragon and keep our treasure land,"
After the old man finished speaking, he closed his eyes,
Ten brothers buried their father in the center of the treasure with tears of grief, and then, everyone gathered together to discuss how to deal with the evil dragon, and finally they decided to send their youngest brother, who is also the smartest brother among them, to go to Kunlun Mountain to find the white-haired old man to obtain the demon suppression orb, and the other nine brothers stayed to guard their homes, and the old and young immediately put on straw sandals, dried fish fillets on their backs, and embarked on the road to the west with the entrustment of the nine brothers......
After the nine brothers sent the old and the young away, they immediately began to make some preparations for fighting the evil dragon.
They first erected a stone wall more than nine feet high around the house to prevent the evil dragon from spraying poisonous water into their home. He sharpened and sharpened the harpoon, and replaced the hoe with a hard wooden handle...... Always ready to fight the dragon to the death,
Sure enough, on the ninth day, ten evil dragons came to provoke with a storm and dark clouds, especially the flower dragon led by him because he was not able to take advantage of it last time, this time it became more ferocious, he opened his bloody mouth, spewed out a stream of evil water, and stretched out four sharp claws to keep grabbing the top of the heads of the nine brothers...... The nine brothers were undaunted, they turned their backs against the stone wall, formed a circle, and brandished sharp knives and forks in their hands to engage in a bloody battle with ten evil dragons.
The battle lasted for three days and three nights, the ten evil dragons were already exhausted, their roars were getting lower and lower, and their actions were getting slower and slower, the boss saw that the time had come, and immediately made a look at the remaining eight younger brothers, the nine brothers all understood, with the boss screaming, the nine knives and forks slashed down towards the flower dragon together, the flower dragon was caught off guard, desperately dodged left and right, the front paws were still hit by the boss's knife, the flower dragon groaned in pain, turned around and fled in the direction of the sea, the other nine evil dragons saw that the flower dragon was injured and fled, He fled into the sea,
Besides, the old and young who went to Kunlun Mountain to find the demon treasure pearl, from the day they said goodbye to their nine elder brothers, they trekked all the way through the mountains and rivers, and they slept in the open air, refusing to stay for a moment, and when they were hungry, they ate a little dried fish fillet with them, and after the dried fish fillets were eaten, they picked the wild fruits on the trees to eat, and after the wild fruits were eaten, they ate the bark and grass roots; When he was thirsty, he drank a little rain from the ditch, and sometimes he could not find water to drink for several days, and his throat was so dry that he was about to smoke, so he licked the dew left on the rocks in the morning with his tongue, and then continued to walk tenaciously westward.
In this way, he walked for a total of 7,749 days, climbed 9,999 mountains, and flowed through 9,999 rivers, and on this day, an extremely majestic mountain appeared in front of his eyes, and the mountains were full of all kinds of flowers, and the trees were full of all kinds of fragrant fruits, and the streams were rushing in the rock crevices between the mountains, stirring up snow-white waves...... The old and young had never seen such a beautiful scenery, but he did not indulge in the scenery, but continued to walk forward.
After a while, he came to a small bridge, just arrived at the bridge, only to hear a roar, a white-fronted tiger with a strong wind swooped towards him, the old child was defenseless, and was suddenly pounced on the ground by the tiger, the tiger stretched out its claws to press his shoulders, and then opened its huge mouth, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth to bite the throat of the old man, the old man hurriedly stuck the tiger's neck with both hands, and then hit the tiger's lower abdomen with both knees...... In this way, one person and one tiger scuffled in one place,
At this moment, another angry shout came from the distance: "Brute, don't let me step aside yet,"
As soon as the voice passed, the old man felt a lightness on his body, and with a low roar, the tiger jumped onto a boulder more than three feet high on the side of the bridge.
The old man got up and saw that a white-haired old man had appeared on the boulder, with snow-white hair, snow-white beard, and a golden slender waist gourd in his hand, and was looking at him at the moment and smiling kindly.
"Little brother, you're here to find the Demon Suppression Orb, look, I've got it ready for you here,"
As he spoke, the white-haired old man gently floated to the old man's side, and handed the treasure gourd in his hand to the old man.
The old man was overjoyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to hold the treasure gourd, and then knelt down on his knees to thank the white-haired old man.
The old man stretched out his hand and gently helped him up, "Don't thank me, now your nine brothers are in danger, you quickly close this treasure gourd and save them,"
After speaking, the old man took out a large jujube from his sleeve and handed it to the old man: "You swallow this jujube, close your eyes immediately, count silently in your heart, and when you count to nine, open your eyes, and you can immediately return to your home by the sea."
Before the old and young could react, the white-haired old man stepped on the tiger and walked away.
When the old man heard that the nine elder brothers were in danger, he immediately swallowed the jujube according to the method taught by the old man, then closed his eyes, and when he couldn't count the nine o'clock in his heart, he heard a deafening sound of shouting and fighting......
It turned out that the ten evil dragons were unsuccessful because they came to occupy the treasure land twice, especially the second time, the flower dragon was also cut by the nine brothers and cut their front paws, so they gritted their teeth with hatred for the ten brothers, and the flower dragon was injured at the bottom of the sea for more than 30 days, and immediately moved around, gathering a large number of shrimp soldiers and crabs to come forward to help, and launched a more fierce attack on the nine brothers for the third time, the ten evil dragons relied on the strength of the crowd to launch a round attack on the nine brothers, and the nine brothers gradually couldn't summon it, and finally had to retreat into the stone wall,
As soon as the flower dragon saw it, he was in the middle of it, and immediately beckoned the rest of the nine dragons, and one by one opened his mouth to spray evil water into the stone wall, and the evil water rose rapidly in the stone wall, seeing that he was about to suffocate the nine brothers alive in the evil water, and at this critical juncture, the old and young arrived, he immediately opened the golden gourd, took out the demon suppression orb and rushed towards the evil dragon,
I saw that the orb radiated a dazzling light, stabbing the evil dragon and the shrimp soldier crab will not even be able to open their eyes, like a swarm of headless flies scurrying around, and at the same time, due to the illumination of the light, the sea water also plummeted, and quickly faded at a very fast speed.
The evil dragon suddenly lost the support of the seawater, and could no longer spew out the evil water, and all of them were paralyzed on the ground like thin mud, and the ten brothers immediately rushed up, each of them suppressed an evil dragon, and the evil dragon rolled and struggled on the ground, and the ten brothers held down the evil dragon and refused to relax at all, so that the ten brothers and the ten evil dragons rolled together, and it was difficult to separate......
At this time, the white-haired old man also crossed the tiger to the sky above Jiuhua, only to see the old man chanting words in his mouth, and then waved his hand, an earth-shattering thunderclap sounded, the nine evil dragons and the nine brothers who pressed on them immediately turned into nine tall peaks, and the blue and white flower dragon turned into a river that flowed between the nine peaks, the old man was not turned into a peak because he held the demon bead in his hand, and then became the owner of Jiuhua Mountain.
"People say that the nine peaks are the later Jiuzi Mountain, the river is the current Longxi, and the strange rocks on the mountain are all the shrimp soldiers and crabs that will change, hehe,"
After I finished speaking, I turned to a seven or eight-year-old doll in front of me and asked, "Now that the story is over, can you tell me where Jiuhua Jushi lives?"
"But ......"
The little doll thought about it seriously and retorted: "Big brother deceives people, I have already heard this story told by my grandfather, this doesn't count, tell one more, tell me one more and I'll tell you where Jiuhua Jushi lives, hehe,"
"Little ghost, you still want to get my story, in fact, you have already told me, even a doll as big as you know the place, if I can't find it again, then I have it, hahaha......"
I smiled weirdly, reached out and touched the little doll's head, turned and walked away,
Sure enough, just walked to the foot of Jiuhua Mountain, I saw a mountain peak and cliff in the distance, there is a fairyland-like cloud courtyard, grinning, I secretly said, Jiuhua monk, really an immortal, no wonder the mud people are not sure that they can ask for this face, I want to try my luck this time,
Walking along the stone steps for hundreds of floors, there are gradually no stone steps, let alone a mountain road, but in front of me, there is a steep mountain wall.
"This ......"
I looked at the extremely steep mountain wall, and muttered to myself: "There is no way, how can I go up, alas, no matter what, I have experienced a lot of hardships, and now I have come to the immortal dwelling place of Jiuhua Jushi, I can't retreat, no matter how big the difficulties, I have to overcome them one by one, others can go up this mountain, why can't I,"
With that, I jumped up on a raised rock, reached out and grabbed a crack in the rock, slammed my toes against the mountain wall, and flew up to climb it, but when I looked back, I had only climbed a short ......
