Chapter 16: The Treasure Toad

On another full moon night, everyone in Coffin Ling Village fell asleep, and the Chen family's father and son entered the mountain again in the middle of the night in order to deal with Tujiao.

"Dad, didn't you go to Xihe to invite that monster? Why did you come to this stinky ditch again? "What do you know, if you say that someone will come out?" However, Chen Laogou, who was going to invite the old monster at the bottom of the West River to fight, took Chen Xiaobraid to the stinky swamp at the foot of the North Mountain for some reason......

"Time is nothing for these things that have lived for thousands of years, and it hasn't been out of water for decades. If you want to invite it out, you have to give it certain benefits. ”

Chen Laogou patiently explained to the pigtails, he wanted to find something that could make the old monster tempting, so he came here. As he spoke, Chen Laogou actually took out a jade jade bracelet from his sleeve, and when Chen Xiaobraid looked at it, he was immediately excited.

"Dad, it turns out that you didn't sell my dowry to Chunni!" "Stinky boy, I said you two are not suitable, don't worry about it." This jade bracelet was taken from the bones of the concubine by the two of them when they went down to the bloody corpse tomb before, and this was an object that he had been entangled with for a long time......

"Alright, use this as bait to hook things out of the water." "Dad, take hundreds of thousands of things as bait? Be careful! Chen Laogou ignored him, hurriedly made a trap, and put the jade bracelet at the water's edge.

"Let's go, let's find a place to hide." "Heaven forbid! Don't make any mistakes, or my little heart won't be able to stand it! After completing this set of procedures, Chen Laogou beckoned the pigtails to leave the water's edge.

The two of them came to the side of the grove not far away, and found a relatively dense bush to hide behind them. "Dad, what's in this stinky gutter? What good things can be brought up. "That's a long story, you keep an eye on the movement over there, I'll tell you about it" While waiting for the underwater thing to come out, Chen Xiaobraid asked curiously.

"Do you remember that I told you that I once got two fire dragon balls on the red ghost spider in Miao Jiang, gave one to my friend, and kept one for myself." Chen Laogou instructed Chen Xiaobraid to keep an eye on the movement of the underwater thing, and he told Chen Xiaobraid a past story more than 20 years ago.

Twenty years ago, Chen Laogou settled here after accidentally saving Chen Xiaobraid in Coffin Village.

But if the "Fire Dragon Ball" on his body is not raised with a poison, it will lose its effectiveness in less than half a year, which is a violent thing, so Chen Laogou wasted a lot of effort to find a host around here.

After more than a month of searching, I finally found a Taoist "Purple Gold Treasure Toad" in this swamp, this treasure toad uses a money casting mother as a medium, and every full moon night will come out to swallow and absorb essence.

Old Dog Chen observed for a while, found out the habits of the treasure toad, and prepared to use it as the host of the Fire Dragon Ball.

Chen Laogou came to the edge of the swamp on a full moon night and threw the fire dragon ball out while the treasure toad was dancing with money. The Fire Dragon Ball slowly rolled to the water's edge, constantly emitting a tempting red light, as well as bursts of cold yin qi, which was a temptation that all immortal cultivators couldn't resist.

The treasure toad that was dancing with money was no exception, and soon it was attracted by the fire dragon ball, and hurriedly took back the money and put it in its mouth, and slowly turned around.

After observing the surrounding situation, it didn't find anything abnormal, kicked its hind legs, and jumped out seven or eight meters away with extremely fast speed and explosive power, and accurately pounced on the fire dragon ball, the golden toad eagerly jumped to the side of the fire dragon ball, greedily took it, and swallowed it in its mouth.

The fire dragon ball is very poisonous, ordinary poisons can't be raised, the treasure toad is a five-poison thing, and it is not afraid, after swallowing the beads, it is still a little comfortable, but soon it is stimulated by the scorching power of the fire dragon ball.

The treasure toad may have been so hot that he couldn't stand it, and he wasn't absorbing the essence of the full moon anymore, so he plunged headlong into the water and never came out.

After Chen Laogou found a suitable host for the Fire Dragon Ball, he could be regarded as keeping this treasure, so he left satisfied, and the bead was raised in the body of the golden toad for a full twenty years.

"It's time to get it back." And this time, Old Dog Chen came here with Chen Xiaobraid just to get back the Fire Dragon Ball.

"So, the one under the water is an old toad!" "Haha, so to speak." "Dad, there's something coming out under the water." After listening to Chen Laogou's story, the pigtail realized that it was the Zijin Bao Toad under the water, and just as the two of them were talking, suddenly Chen Xiaobraid found that there was movement in the water.

"Hide, don't get caught by that thing." The two knew that the time was not ripe at this time, so they hid first and carefully observed the situation. I saw that the stinking water of the swamp was bubbling and bubbling, as if something was coming out of the bottom of the water.

After a while, I saw a purple gold treasure toad the size of a small basin peeking out of the water, looked around, and found that there was no danger, so it slowly climbed up from the water.

When the father and son of the Chen family saw that the treasure toad had landed, they each prepared their tools and were ready to shoot at any time.

The golden toad was stupid, and at this time it was completely attracted by the emerald jade bracelet, and it didn't notice that the two people were slowly approaching......

The treasure toad was very sensitive to the treasures emitted by various gold and jade gems, and at this time he was greedily putting the jade bracelet on his body, completely ignoring that there was a steel cable under the jade bracelet......

"Quick, cast the net." Seeing that the time had come, Chen Laogou waved the ash rod in his hand and lifted the soul binding rope tied to it into the air and sent a signal to Chen Xiaobraid.

"It's coming, I can't run away from it! Try the master's Tianluo Internet café. Chen Xiaobraid was impatient to wait, and when he heard his father say that he could make a move, he hurriedly cast a fishing net in his hand. At this time, the treasure toad was tripped by Chen Laogou's soul rope, and the fishing net cast by Chen Xiaobraid just caught it.

The pus on the back of this golden toad was full of violent poisonous pulp, and he usually didn't dare to start at all, but at this time, he was trapped by a series of attacks by the Chen family's father and son. I waited for it at the water's edge for more than two hours, but it only took a minute to catch it, and the toad was lifted into the fishing net and could not move.

"Dad, did we kill it?" The father and son of the Chen family put on deerskin gloves to avoid poison and tied the treasure toad to a big tree, but the treasure toad looked like it was dead at this time, its tongue was also pulled out, and its body did not move.

"Alright, don't pretend to be dead, I won't hurt your life." Chen Laogou understood that this was the treasure toad's life-saving trick, pretending to be dead.

"Dad, is this golden? Can we stay? "This is its life treasure, don't move, in its old nest, there are many treasures." Chen Xiaobraid was immediately moved when he saw a glittering piece of money on the back of the treasure toad, but he was stopped by Chen Laogou.

"I'm just here to retrieve my stuff and won't hurt you. Don't worry! Chen Laogou took out a red yang needle from his sleeve and came to the treasure toad.

"It's not a small poison! The bark of the trees is all corroded. At this moment, all the venom on the back of the treasure toad flowed out, and the big tree corroded a large piece of bark. Chen Laogou was also relieved to get started at this time.

The red yang needle is the most yang thing in the world, as soon as the two needles pierced the treasure toad's body, the treasure toad was burned and trembled, and he had to use the fire dragon ball full of yin energy on his body to resist. And the fire dragon ball that it swallowed into its stomach also spit out from its body little by little.

Seeing the Fire Dragon Ball emerge from Bao Toad's mouth, Old Dog Chen reached out and grabbed the Fire Dragon Ball.

"It's really good to have been raised by it for the past 20 years, and the color has gone up to another level, so let's put it away." Old Dog Chen was very satisfied when he saw that this Fire Dragon Ball had been raised in the body of the highly poisonous golden toad for twenty years and his condition had improved a lot. He instructed Chen Xiaobraid to put it back in the water.

"Gone baby, home!" "Why are you so abnormal today?" Chen Xiaobraid, who usually complains when he does a little dirty work, did not complain at this time, but seemed very excited.

"You're thinking about the baby in its nest! The water is cold and poisonous, aren't you afraid? "Dad, what are you talking about? Isn't my dirty work all the work I do? Chen Laogou reacted immediately, there should be a lot of treasures in this golden toad's nest that he inadvertently said, needless to say, his son who is a money addict must be worried about it.

Before Chen Laogou could say a few words, he heard a pop, and Chen Xiaobraid had already followed the treasure toad into the stinky water. This swamp is stagnant water, and the smell is unbearable, and the villagers rarely come here, but at this time, Chen Xiaobraid is full of the treasure, and he can't care about whether the water smells or not.

Chen Xiaobraid, who jumped into the water, followed the trace of the golden toad, and sure enough, he found a small black hole in a muddy mud at the bottom of the water, and golden light flashed out from time to time.

"Haha, Dad, we're rich." A few minutes later, Chen Xiaobraid jumped out of the water all of a sudden, with an excited expression on his face.

"Dad, look, there's a lot of gold!" At this time, Chen Xiaobraid couldn't take care of it, he was cold and tired! Two steps climbed onto the shore to Chen Laogou's side, and put a bunch of gold ingots, gold beans, and money on the ground.

"Yo, it's really a lot, and I don't know how many years this purple gold treasure toad has been collected." This time, even Old Dog Chen was shocked. Although this treasure toad is good at collecting these golden and jade things, it will take hundreds of years to complete so much, but the cultivation of this thing is slow, and it often has not cultivated any Taoism in the first few hundred years.

"Dad, how can this toad have so much money, can we still find it?" Chen Xiaobraid wrung out the water on his body and couldn't wait to ask his father about the treasure toad, thinking that if he was looking for a few, wouldn't he make a fortune!

"How can there be so much, this thing is naturally sensitive to gold and jade jewelry, and cultivation also collects essence through the treasure of these things, so it will have treasures, and it can be regarded as a mascot among the people."

Chen Laogou saw Chen Xiaobraid's excitement, and he also talked to Chen Xiaobraid, the folk all offer these treasure toads as mascots, referring to the habit of this kind of thing to collect gold and jade, but it is also the way to practice this thing.

"But there are people who have made a fortune from this thing." Among the golden toads, the three-legged golden toad is the most spiritual, and the gold and jade jewelry gathered is also the most, but the rare things in the world are not something that ordinary people can meet.

It is said that in the pre-Qing Dynasty, the "Shen family" among the eight families in the capital once found a three-legged golden toad, and used the golden toad to obtain a family fortune.

It is said that the ancestors of the Shen family hung the three-legged golden toad in the moat canal, when the merchants on the canal gathered, there would be a lot of gold, silver and jewelry left in the river, and the Shen family went to the golden toad's nest every ten years to collect it.

Because they can get a huge amount of wealth every time, the Shen family slowly became rich and rivaled the country, and became a big family, and then they all worshiped Bao Toad Daxian as an immortal, which lasted for more than a hundred years.

"Then we can also raise this treasure toad! After that, I won't have to worry about running out of food! Chen Laogou's words made Chen Xiaobraid's eyes light up, there was a treasure toad in front of him, wouldn't it be equivalent to finding a long-term meal ticket.

"This kind of thing has harmed the cultivation of the three-legged spiritual creature for a long time, how can it be okay, then the Shen family ended up with a full house and didn't leave any of them." But who would have thought that Chen Laogou's next sentence would cool Chen Xiaobraid's heart. Think about it, it's okay to do it occasionally, but generations have been crazy to ask for it, how can there be no retribution?

"Alright, I'm going to find the old monster when I pack my things." "Hehe, it's not easy to be a toad! I'll catch more bugs for him to eat. After listening to Chen Laogou's words, the pigtail blushed, and felt sorry for the treasure toad when he thought about it, but how could he bear to send it back when the money was in hand? Seeing that his father did not object, he packed up the gold ingots while finding himself a ......

The two of them took the Fire Dragon Ball, and all the way from the foot of the North Mountain to the Xiliang River......

"Old thing, this is what I promised you back then, and I brought it to you." When he arrived at the inlet where the monster lived, Old Dog Chen shook the fire dragon ball in his hand and spoke to the river.

Chen Laogou saw his father's hand, so he threw the fire dragon ball into the water, and his heart suddenly twitched again, according to his father, this bead can be sold for at least more than 200,000 yuan in Liu Blind. And the most important thing is that this thing is priceless, very rare......

"Don't forget what you promised me." It can be seen that Chen Laogou didn't even blink his eyelids, and the pigtails were put back when he came to his mouth, thinking that his father was going to deal with that Tujiao, and it was worth paying a big price.

"But that Tujiao is very powerful, you should be careful, don't destroy the Tao, old thing." I don't know what kind of deal Chen Laogou made with this underwater monster, but Chen Laogou obviously trusts this monster very much. Chen Laogou instructed a few more words, and then left with Chen Xiaobraid.

At this time, Chen Xiaobraid found that the water in the river was splashing, and a huge figure was shaking underwater. Sure enough, the monster's two blood-red eyes were exposed in the water, and after looking at it for a while, it slowly sank.

"Dad, will it definitely take action if it receives our Fire Dragon Ball? Can it beat that dirt Jiao! ”

"Don't worry, these animals are much more trustworthy than people, and if you can't beat them, you will do your best."

Leaving the riverbank, Chen Xiaobraid hurriedly asked about the monster at the bottom of the river from his father, Chen Laogou has always trusted these cultivating immortals more than people, of course, he believes in it very much.

"Now we have helpers in the sky and in the ground, and we can fight with that earth Jiao!"

"Dad, what kind of monster is in the water?"

"It's a dragon species, but it's a different way."

It turned out that according to Chen Laogou's plan, the main force of the Tujiao in the battle was the two of them, there was the cooperation of the corpse gouging dog and the fox fairy on the ground, and there were thousands of races in the sky, but this underwater would be handed over to the old monster, after all, the Tujiao already had the sign of turning into a dragon, and the sky and the water were omnipotent, and if they were not fully prepared, how could they dare to fight with it?
