Chapter 049: The pipa softly sounded
The tortoise's heart was full of emotion, and after listening to the words of the world, he turned around and ran away, without even bringing his head back!
"This guy, hypocrisy!"
Shisheng took a sip, glanced back, and found a few figures, then immediately sat on the ground and howled!
"What kind of god is this, it actually destroyed the temple of the Dragon King's grandfather!"
When the believers who arrived saw the grief of the world, they naturally did not associate the collapse of the temple with him.
"Come, young man, get up, don't cry!" An older woman stepped forward to help Shisheng and comforted her.
"Auntie, tell me, Grandpa Dragon King has protected us for a hundred years, but why did his temple end up like this?" Shisheng said bitterly.
"Alas, child, don't cry, the temple is collapsing, as long as the statue is all right, it will be the same if the temple is built again! It's just that these falling stones are not easy to find! The woman's tone was full of helplessness.
"Auntie, you, what did you say? Falling stones? Shisheng immediately stopped his "crying" and asked with a surprised expression.
"Yes, Falling Stone!" The woman said, looking at the people who had come with her, "Clean up this place!" I hope I didn't mess with the Dragon King! ”
The woman seemed to have a voice.
As soon as she spoke, everyone immediately moved with a look of grief.
When she saw that everyone had begun to work, the woman looked at Shisheng again, "Come, sit, and I will tell you the story of this falling flower!" ”
Shisheng swept around and asked, "Where are you sitting?" ”
The corners of the old woman's mouth twitched, "Come here, sit on the steps!" ”
"Okay!"
"This falling flower stone, as the name suggests, is the stone turned into by falling flowers, the legend ......"
Just as the old woman was about to tell the story with a look of remembrance, Shisheng interrupted her.
"Auntie, I don't read much, don't lie to me! How can this falling flower become a stone? ”
"Listen to my old man, young man!" The old woman gave a blank look, and then said, "Flowers fall into the earth and turn into mud!" The mud has endured thousands of years of wind and rain and has become stone! ”
"Before the Dragon King Temple was built, the mountains were full of falling stones. Later, in order to build this Dragon King Temple, a large amount of falling stone was mined, and finally this Dragon King Temple was built! In other words, these ruined stones you see now are all falling stones! ”
The corners of Shisheng's mouth twitched, this thing doesn't matter much to him at all!
He nodded and got up and said, "Thank you for telling me the story of the Falling Stone, but I don't have much interest in this, so I'll leave first, and take my leave!" ”
He was about to go down the mountain, but he was stopped by a word from an old woman.
"This worker once heard the beautiful sound of the piano during the quarrying, don't you want to know about it?"
Hearing this, Shisheng stopped and turned to look at the old woman.
"Who the hell are you?" Shisheng asked, squinting his eyes.
"It doesn't matter who I am, it's important that I know what you want to know!" The old woman said with a smile, but her voice changed to another person!
Shisheng was helpless, and sat down again, "Say it, I'll listen!" ”
"Things start from the moment Luoqin escaped from the clutches of the Dragon King! When Luoqin was seriously injured, he looked for the breath of the thirteenth prince and came to the stage of the four seas! ”
But at that time, the drought in Sihai County had passed, and the thirteenth prince had already left Sihai County. In desperation, Luoqin followed the breath of the thirteenth prince again and came to this mountain. ”
"However, after arriving at this Dongshan, the girl Luoqin couldn't hold it at all! In order to see her sweetheart again, she used her last strength to play the lute! ”
The soft sound of the pipa resounded through the mountains and fields, and everyone heard it, but only the sweetheart of Luoqin did not hear it. In this way, Luoqin died on the east mountain. ”
"When the people arrived, they only saw the smiling corpse of the piano, but they didn't find the pipa. The good Samaritan buried Luoqin and buried it on this east mountain! ”
The story of the old woman does not seem to be of much value to the world.
But the world doesn't really think so.
An old woman came to tell herself a story for no reason, and this story is also related to what she has experienced recently, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?
"So, what exactly are you trying to say?" Shisheng's face was full of questions.
"In the world, there are coincidences! However, if there are so many coincidences, it is not a coincidence! Think about it, why can you get the pipa in every life of Luoqin? If no one is messing around, is it possible? The old woman smiled harmlessly.
This smile makes the world creepy!
"You mean, someone has been at the mercy of the piano?"
The old woman nodded, and gave an affirmative answer.
"Who is it? Who has such strength that he can manipulate a person for several lifetimes? Shisheng asked.
"What do you think?" The old woman smiled, patted Shisheng on the shoulder, and got up to direct those who were cleaning up the ruins.
Shisheng was still sitting on the steps, and the whole person was lost in thought.
According to what the old man in the prison said before, the falling qin was transformed by a string on the pipa beloved by the Queen Mother of the West.
Then there are only two people who have a close relationship with Luoqin and have great ability.
One is the father of the thirteenth prince, the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
The other, naturally, is the head of the goddess, the Queen Mother of the West!
Thinking of this, Shisheng suddenly discovered a new problem.
He hurriedly got up and went down the mountain to the county government prison in Sihai County.
In the heart of the world, I already have a rough guess about the identity of the old man who told the story in the prison!
"If I had known, I wouldn't have let that little tortoise go!" Shisheng was running and muttering.
The old man, nine times out of ten, is the grandfather of the little whirling turtle, that is, the general who led the Heavenly Army to repel the army of the demon realm!
As for the identity of the old woman just now, Shisheng also had a bold guess, but he didn't dare to ask, because he was really afraid of losing his life.
He galloped all the way to the county office, and as soon as he entered, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw everyone faint to the ground, except for the old fish head.
"Dao...... Fellow Daoist, you're here! "The old fish head seems to be very badly injured, and he is a little difficult to speak.
Shisheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked about what had just happened.
"One, a woman in white barged in to look for you, but you weren't there, she beat us up and left!" The old fish head clutched his chest and said with a painful expression.
Shisheng coughed twice in embarrassment, "Well, did she say anything else?" ”
"Say, say wait for you to come back, let us tell you, hurry up and find the pipa!"
"I see, how are you? Are you alright? ”
"I'm okay!" The old fish head has to stand up by the world.
But unexpectedly, Shisheng actually let go of the old fish's head, "Okay, you lie here for a while, I have something to do, go first!" ”
Shisheng went straight to the county jail, leaving behind the old man who was full of wailing.
After entering the prison, Shisheng went straight to the old man's door, and directly removed the door and walked in.
"You're here?" When the old man, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, heard the voice, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at the world.
"You're a tortoise?"
"Yo? It's pretty fast! The old man smiled and said, "Come, tell me, have you found that step?" ”
Seeing the old man's reaction, Shisheng could be sure that this guy was the old whirling turtle general back then.
"I didn't find much! Let me ask you, the turtle shadow appeared in the sky over Sihai County back then, is it you? ”
The old whirling turtle nodded, "It's me!" ”
"What is your relationship with the Thirteenth Prince?" Shisheng asked, squinting his eyes.
"Friendship!" Speaking of the Thirteenth Prince, the old whirling turtle laughed, "That's my best friend in this life!" ”
"What really happened back then?" Shisheng asked, "After the Thirteenth Prince left Kunlun Mountain, you also left?" And came to Sihai County together? ”
The old whirling turtle nodded, "That's right! But I'm here to find out the whereabouts of the lute! ”
"Pipa? If you don't say it, I thought you were here to chase the piano! The corners of Shisheng's mouth twitched.
"Alas, I was ordered by my grandfather to recover the lute!"
"Your grandfather? How come you have a grandfather too? ”
