Chapter 19: The Bamboo Sea Demon
Xiaolu looked at Zhi Yi and asked, "Zhi Yi, have you heard of Fairy Yaoqing?"
Zhi Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, there are thousands of immortals in the three palaces and six courtyards of the Heavenly Court, many of whom I don't know. ”
Jiang Yan said with a smile: "This little brother is quite good at joking, the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, you think that the sky is also three palaces and six courtyards, as if you are a fairy, I will take you to the fairy cave now, there is a statue of a fairy in it, it is the legendary Yaoqing fairy, our people here burn incense for the fairy to pray for themselves and their families, it is very effective." ”
Xiaolu knew that there must be something strange in it, and she was curious about what the fairy enshrined in it looked like, and wanted to see what it was. This place is not far from the Fairy Cave, and there are many people along the way, and some of them see Xiaolu looking at them curiously, so they glared at Xiaolu angrily.
The fairy cave is located in a steep cliff, there is a reckless bamboo forest on the hole, under the hole is the Grand Canyon of the bamboo sea, it is a natural rock cavity, the hole mouth is wide, as soon as you enter the hole, you feel that the temperature difference between the cave and the outside of the cave is very large, Jiang Yan said: "The winter here is warm, the summer is cool, the people in a radius of hundreds of miles are here to burn incense and pray for blessings, the old people all say that the fairy can be spiritual. Jiang Yan said and began to bow in three steps.
There are a lot of visitors in the cave, they are slowly bowing and moving forward, Xiaolu and Zhi also have to slowly follow the people to walk forward, the hole is about 100 meters deep, finally arrived at the end of the hole, it is full of people kneeling on the ground, some hold incense in their hands and bow to the statue like a fairy, some prayed with their hands together, and some people kowtow to the ground with both hands.
Suddenly, Jiang Yan pulled Xiaolu and said, "Let's go, let's go kowtow a few times, if you have any wishes to pray to the fairy, it will definitely come true." Then he said: "You see that fairies are really beautiful, they are really rare in the world!" glanced at Xiaolu and Zhi Yi and said: "You two are also rare in the world, I have never seen a boy or girl as beautiful as you." ”
Xiaolu smiled when she heard Jiang Yan praise her beauty. Look at the fairy statue again, the whole body is carved with white jade, the long hair is coiled into a bun, the jade hairpin is raised, the long beads tremble and hang down, and the belt between the Luo skirts is tied, showing the figure of Na, the breathtaking face, exuding all kinds of style.
Sure enough, he looked the same as Qi Caicai, Xiaolu guessed on the way that Qi Caicai might be doing something wrong here, and came in to confirm his guess, and couldn't help but say to Zhi Yi: "Zhi Yi, did you guess that this goblin was?"
Zhi also experienced a simple experience, but people are also very smart, and said: "Well, I also guessed, and there is still a demonic spirit here." ”
Jiang Yan listened to the conversation between the two and was frightened, "Don't talk nonsense here, be careful of bad luck." ”
Xiaolu pointed to the statue and said, "Do you know who this person is? It's the wife of a famous corrupt official in Changning County, I really didn't expect this goblin to pretend to be a ghost here, and she deceived you all." ”
At this time, those who were kneeling on the ground heard Xiaolu say that the fairy was a goblin and couldn't stand it, and a few of them couldn't hold it back, and one of the forty-year-old middle-aged men scolded: "Where did this crazy girl come from, talk nonsense here, don't let me get away, and then talk nonsense here, be careful that I tear your mouth." ”
"That's it, get out of here......"
"Turtle son, get out of here, don't mess around here......"
One of them started to curse, and the others all started shouting, and those who didn't scold also stared at Xiaolu, blaming her for talking nonsense, worried that she had angered the fairies, and the fairies would be angry with them.
Xiaolu didn't know what the Qi Caicai sisters were doing here, the people here all offered this goblin like a god, knowing that they had committed public anger and didn't want to deal with these mortals, they were about to leave this goblin cave, when they suddenly saw a black shadow flashing, and then they heard the sound of "pop papa", those who scolded all covered their faces, and one of them was still scolding: "Which turtle son is beating Lao Tzu?"
Immediately after that, the man was slapped several times, and his face was swollen like a pig's face, but he couldn't see who had beaten him. Xiaolu knew that Zhi Yi was teaching these scolding guys a lesson, he acted quickly, like a shadow, and instantly moved in front of everyone and slapped him, which was incredibly fast, so everyone couldn't see who was beating him at all.
Xiaolu was worried that these mortals were broken, and persuaded: "Forget it, stop it, they are all mortals, where can they recognize Qi Caicai." ”
At this time, Zhi had already finished teaching those scolding guys and stood beside Xiaolu, and after a while, everyone saw a young man in black who was as beautiful as a star, with an innocent look on his face, which looked like he had just beaten someone.
These people are not stupid, when they heard what Xiaolu said, they suddenly understood that Zhi Yi was beating them, and they couldn't get down from being slapped in public, so a reckless man picked up the seat next to him and rushed over to Zhi Yi......
Xiaolu was afraid of stopping and didn't know how serious it was, blocking in front of Zhi Yi, and gently blocking it, before the person rushed over, he felt that he suddenly stood unsteadily and fell backwards, and there were just a few people behind him who wanted to come up to find Zhi Yi desperately, and the first one fell, like dominoes, and fell a large piece.
These people are so angry that they are even more scolded, which is unbearable......
Seeing the fierce faces of these foolish men and fools, Xiaolu was so angry that she really wanted to teach these mortals, especially a few of them with fat faces, and said this and this in Zhi Yi's ear, and then said to the tour guide, "Let's go!"
Zhi Yi waited for Xiaolu and Jiang Yan to go out of the cave and extinguished all the lights in the cave, and then blocked the entrance of the cave with a boulder, Xiaolu is a child's heart, and he was scolded by these people and always wanted to get angry, these pilgrims were trapped in the cave and panicked, Fang knew that the young man and girl just now were not mortals, and kept praying in the cave...
After about a quarter of an hour, Zhi Yi removed the boulder and released them, which Xiaolu had told him not to kill the mortals.
Jiang Yan naturally didn't know what Zhi Yi was doing behind, when she was in the cave, she didn't see Zhi Yi making a move, but when she saw Xiaolu such a delicate and beautiful little girl dealing with this group of big men, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a while, and she left the fairy cave for half a salary before saying, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful as a little beauty, but you can't do it in front of the statue of the fairy, and you also said something offensive to the fairy, will ...... It's going to be unlucky!"
Unlucky? Xiaolu thought to herself, we still have to find trouble with this goblin!
Jiang Yan saw Xiaolu's indifferent look, and said: "It's true, don't believe it, the fairy will come to collect the fireworks money donated by tourists during the day, and a man surnamed Qu stole the fairy's fireworks money last year, guess what happened?"
Xiaolu loves money so much like the Qi Caicai sisters, she will definitely not spare this person, and said: "Needless to say, this person must be unlucky." ”
Jiang Yan said, "Yes, later this person's family had a strange disease, and it couldn't be cured for a lot of money, and someone asked him to donate a sum of money to the fairy, don't say it's really spiritual, the family's illness was cured without treatment;
Xiaolu no longer talked to her about the snake demon, and wanted to go to the next tourist attraction - Qinglong Lake.
Although I have just been added to the evil words of those mortals, I smelled the bamboo fragrance in the beautiful forest, walked the winding paths, listened to the wind and rumors, swayed all over the ground, looked for the quiet and comfortable, and lingered in the poetry, and suddenly felt comfortable, and felt like walking in the gallery It didn't take long to come to the shore of Qinglong Lake.
Along the way, the breeze blows, the scenery is intoxicating, and Xiaolu and Zhiyi are also intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.
Xiaolu and Zhi also walked in this quiet bamboo corridor, like a fairy falling into the dust, reflecting this jade corridor like a fairyland, both real and illusory, passers-by couldn't help but look sideways, Jiang Yan felt the gaze of passers-by, she was also honored by the side of the two.
Jiang Yan said: "Qinglong Lake is the largest lake in the verdant bamboo sea, however, Qinglong Lake really has a green dragon, my uncle has seen it with his own eyes, many people don't believe it, anyway, I believe it, because my uncle never lies." ”
Xiaolu thought to herself that her uncle must have seen the snake demon, Qi Caicai's body was colorful, he saw a green dragon, is there really a green snake here? This can be asked: "Is it really cyan? Is it seen during the day or at night? What does the green dragon look like? How long and thick is it?"
Jiang Yan thought about it; The year before last we were here drought, it hasn't rained for a long time, there is a shortage of water everywhere, the bamboo sea in Shunan was originally lush and became a piece of burnt yellow, the water level of Qinglong Lake has also dropped by half, one evening my uncle and a few fellow villagers had dinner outside the house to cool off, suddenly the cool breeze is blowing, the sky is rolling dark clouds, they are happy to look to the sky to see if it is really going to rain, how do you know that this look has a jump, a cyan dragon in the sky is shuttling and churning in the dark clouds, it didn't take long for the sky to start raining, it is strange to say, that is, there is rain in this part of the bamboo sea, it rained heavily for two or three hours, and the great drought of Zhuhai was solved, and the lake water of Qinglong Lake rose again, My uncle said that he saw with his own eyes that it was the Qinglong Manifestation, and it couldn't let the water of its Qinglong Lake dry up, many people didn't believe it, only our family believed it, because my uncle was the most honest and kind, and he wouldn't lie. ”
Xiaolu guessed that this was the snake demon's lair, and it naturally didn't want the lake to dry up, and the snake demon like Qi Caicai Shi Yun Buyu was a trivial matter for her, but she didn't know why it was cyan, could there be other snakes besides Qi Caicai? Could it be a green snake, so she asked again: "Are you sure that the dragon is cyan and not green or colored?"
Jiang Yan said: "Of course, otherwise how can it be called Qinglong Lake, there is also a tourist who has also seen the Qinglong appear, he said that the Qinglong is exactly the same as what my uncle has seen, very long, that evening the lake suddenly rolled upward, like boiling water boiling, he was very curious to run over to look, suddenly the lake set off a huge wave, a green dragon broke out of the water, he was so frightened that he fainted all of a sudden, and when he woke up the lake returned to calm, and when he told others that he saw the dragon, no one believed it, they all said that he was bragging. ”
Xiaolu knew at this time that there must be monsters in the Shunan Bamboo Sea, as for whether this green dragon is a dragon or a snake, what does it have to do with Qi Caicai, she wants to find out, this lake does not look very big, it should be easy to find, Xiaolu now just wants to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of her, now go to see the 'sea in the sea', and then look for the trace of the snake demon after all the attractions are finished.
The water surface of the sea is vast, and the green bamboo on the shore is swaying, like a pearl embedded in the green bamboo, Xiaolu thinks that people say that one side of the water and soil raises one person, Qi Caicai cultivates into a fine in such a beautiful scenery, no wonder her appearance is amazing.
Xiaolu was in a daze, and Zhi Yi suddenly said, "Sister, I feel a familiar atmosphere here, well, I want to go down and have a look." ”
Xiaolu knew that he wanted to go to the bottom of the lake, since he said so, he must have found something, so he told Jiang Yan that he didn't need her to accompany him anymore, and wanted to go around casually, Jiang Yan earned two thousand yuan in less than a day, and left happily.
After Jiang Yan left, Zhi also took Xiaolu's hand and dived into the 'sea in the sea', the two were unwilling to separate, and they naturally had to be together when they went into the water to investigate, he silently recited the water avoidance spell in his heart, and the water at the bottom of the lake got out of the way, Xiaolu saw the fish and shrimp in the water running in all directions through the light shining from the water surface, and the aquatic plants were floating in the water, and gradually the bottom of the lake could be seen.
The bottom of the lake is empty, only some rocks, shells, and fish and shrimp that have no time to dodge, and the bottom of the lake is in the shape of a pot, and the middle is the lowest, is there nothing at the bottom of the lake?
Zhi Yi and Xiaolu searched at the bottom of the lake, Zhi Yi lifted the water level of the entire lake, the situation at the bottom of the lake was unobstructed, the bottom was full of silt, and those fish and shrimp who did not have time to rise with the water fell to the bottom of the lake, and kept jumping at the bottom of the lake, there was a place overgrown with aquatic plants on the slope, which was completely different from the surroundings, Xiaolu took out the sword and stepped forward to explore the hole that was covered by aquatic plants.
The two of them walked through the hole in the ground is a narrow tunnel, the tunnel is a downhill slope, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, it suddenly becomes clear, but the scene in front of them makes Xiaolu suddenly startled.
