Volume 10 Yin Bridge Valley_Chapter 742 The Legend of the Beaver

Then I picked up the sheets that the others were covering. They were all dead, and they were all like the old man, neat and well-groomed, and their clothes relatively intact.

As a result, my opinion of this Zhong Tianhai has changed again. There is no doubt that these bodies should have been disposed of by his hands, and it is a sign of respect for a deceased person to leave with dignity.

I counted nineteen corpses down there. There should be some discrepancies between the numbers and the official statistics. I don't know where the others are now. It seems that everything needs to be asked clearly after Zhong Tianhai comes out of it.

At this time, Ouyang Or walked to the side of Fat Dahai, who was still unconscious, opened the fat man's eyelids and looked at it, he reached out and pressed the back of Fat Dahai's head a few times.

Fat Dahai's eyelids jumped, and with an oops, he finally woke up.

The aroma released by Zhong Tianhai to make us unconscious is very domineering, if it weren't for Ouyang He, the fat man wouldn't know how long he would be unconscious.

Although he woke up, Fat Dahai stared at his eyes and rubbed his head in some pain. I knew he was going to need some time to recover.

Ouyang He glanced at me and asked, "Master, listening to Zhong Tianhai's words, if you wake up quickly after you fall into a coma, it should be because you have taken the effect of Fire Spirit Salivation." I'm not very proficient in the way of medicine, but this fire spirit saliva fruit has such a miraculous effect? ”

I nodded and said with a wry smile: "Speaking of which, I still have an adventure here......"

Saying that, I briefly told them what happened after we found the temple of Grandma Tanuki.

Of course, it was mainly between me and the fire beaver king, and the cats. After saying that, I took out the civet tail that the Beaver King had given me and showed them it.

Ma Tan took the civet tail, looked at it carefully, and muttered, "Is that legend true?" ”

I was stunned, it seems that Ma Tan should know something about this fire civet tail.

"Old horse, do you know this civet tail?" I asked curiously.

Ma Jian nodded: "I have been studying biological science, and I told you, I don't think that the species in the world are limited to those that are displayed in books. In fact, there are many rare species in the world, but because we have not received a more precise chain of evidence, we cannot write it into the archives. As for the fire beaver, it appears more in all the gods and monsters and some legends. ”

"In other words, in the animal files that have been confirmed now, there is such an animal as a fire beaver?" I asked.

Ma Yan nodded, and shook his head again: "These are two concepts. If the fire beaver is only distinguished by the coat color, then the world does not exclude raccoons with this coat color. Because there's some genetic mutations in there, and DNA mutations and things like that. For example, normal tigers and leopards have yellow coat colors, but there are often some white tigers and snow leopards. This is due to a genetic mutation in their body. But these are all individual cases, and I feel that the beaver and the white beaver you encounter are not of this type. ”

"That'...... What other types? ”

"And then there's the legendary fire beaver. According to the record of "Qingben Xu Shen Strange Chronicles", Xu Xiake traveled the world and once saw a kind of fire beaver in Taihua Ridge

。 At that time, the fire civet was trapped, and Xu Xiake rescued the fire beaver by the hand. So the beaver was grateful, and followed Xu Xiake to many places. I don't know what method the fire beaver used, whenever Xu Xiake arrived at a mountain range, the fire beaver would always appear at the right time and accompany Xu Xiake. Of course, this "Qingben Xu Shen Strange Chronicles" is just an ambition, and there is no such book in the archives library. So I can't judge whether it's true or not. ”

We listened to Ma Tan talk about the legend of the fire beaver, and in addition to having a strong interest in this fire beaver, we were also overwhelmed by Ma Tan's profound knowledge again.

Even if it is a legend, it is said through the mouth of Ma Yan, I believe that it is not nonsense, but more truth. Because of every legend, he can find a source, and he can quote scriptures.

I then asked, "What else does the legend say?" What about the fire beavers? ”

Ma Tan continued: "Later, Xu Xiake did a special study on this kind of fire beaver, and he found that this kind of fire beaver has the attribute of a king. In other words, the beaver is already a king from the moment he is born. A few times, Xu Xiake went to the mountains and rivers to visit the water, and was trapped in the valley, and it was the fire beaver king who ordered other raccoon dogs to send mountain fruits to satisfy his hunger. The raccoon dog is an animal with a strong ability to survive and reproduce, so there are raccoon dogs in many places in the mountains. After that, every time Xu Xiake encountered difficulties, the Beaver King would appear and help him. It's just that the ending of the legend is not too good, in the process of walking the mountain, Xu Xiake encountered the evil tiger, the beaver king led the beaver to fight with the tiger, although the evil tiger was bitten to death, the beaver king was seriously injured. With its last strength, it bit off its tail and gave the civet tail to Xu Xiake. After that, Xu Xiake carried the civet tail, and whenever he went to a place, as long as he took out the civet tail, he could summon the beaver, help him explore the way, find food, and so on. Of course, I only remembered this legend in a rough way, and I didn't expect that one day I would see this kind of civet tail. ”

I listened to Ma Yan's introduction, and I felt that the legendary Xu Xiake and my experience were somewhat similar. Could it be that the Beaver King I met is really the legendary one?

In fact, I had a civet tail in my hand, and the raccoon did bow down to me. If that's the case, then this civet tail is really a treasure.

Ma Tan handed the civet tail back into my hand and said, "Legend has it that the king of the beaver king is king because of this civet tail. It will only be severed if its life is in danger. As you say, it will send you off with its tail, and then it will leave on its own, presumably dead by this time. ”

I nodded, I felt the same way. It's just that the Beaver King is quite human, and he is so sincere to me. I saved it, and it in turn saved me, not only feeding me its fire spirit saliva and leaving it to me. I give three points, and it gives me ten points in return. I am very sad about its death.

Ouyang Or listened and said, "Congratulations to Master for obtaining this treasure, in the future, in the mountains and forests, when you encounter danger, you can give it a try." The fire spirit saliva is also an extraordinary thing, and I have also heard that the fire beaver king is a spiritual creature, and he is good at cultivation. If it is not an external injury, it can live for a hundred years. And the saliva of the Beaver King will become liquid in ten years, and saliva in a hundred years. It seems that the Beaver King has at least a hundred years to live. Fire and salivation, ordinary people eat it, strengthen the body and prolong life. If a cultivator eats it, he can practice for a hundred years. Although this statement is exaggerated, it is still credible. ”
