Chapter 6: Water Monsters

(I have a bad habit of catching pets.) Especially the kind that is unique in the world! )

The land of Miaojiang, lofty mountains, steep mountains and dangerous roads, hidden countless poisonous insects, tigers and leopards, although it is far less prosperous than Middle Earth, but there are also many ethnic groups living here, forming a different customs and human feelings from Middle Earth.

In the vast Miao territory, a large Miao people's settlement, close to the dense forest, near a clear lake, an ancient temple stands on the shore of the lake.

I don't know when the temple was built, the appearance is a combination of the two styles of the Middle Earth and the Miao people, the style is mixed and matched, but it does not show contradictions and conflicts, but complements each other.

Looking from afar, a simple and vicissitudes of life breathed on the face, as if across time and space, can be seen with your own eyes, in the ancient times, the temple has towered over the earth, the wind and rain, as if with the same root of the earth, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.

Walking into the interior of the temple, the eyes are empty, not how prosperous, dozens of stone pillars support the main hall, the walls on both sides are carved with wall carvings, every picture, every line of text, are telling a piece of ancient legends and stories.

In the scene described in this wall inscription, most of the women are half-human and half-snake, especially in the first picture, a woman holds a willow in her hand and a small figure made of a lot of soil and water in front of her.

I have seen the murals one by one in the future, and all of them are half-human, half-snake women fighting against various natural and man-made disasters for all beings on the earth.

Looking at the throne in the middle of the temple, the statue enshrined there is also a half-human, half-snake woman, the statue is lifelike, beautiful and detailed, compassionate and spiritual, as if an ancient god stepped across the river of time, looking at its appearance, it is quite similar to the woman in the first wall picture.

Under the statue of the god, a girl sits on her knees, holding a silver-white leaf in her hand to look closely, this leaf is sometimes a piece, sometimes nine leaves with the same branch, if the silver peacock opens the screen, a little silver light falls like a star, and loses the girl's hand.

The girl rubbed carefully, was looking happy, suddenly, the light and shadow outside the temple door swayed, a Miao man ran in a panic, the girl in the hand of the light and flowers, busy getting up to look.

"Holy Maiden, it's not good, it's not good, there is a person who broke into the forbidden land, and Uncle Ah couldn't stop them, so they sent me to ...... Ask the Holy Maiden for ...... Asking for help......"

A young man of sixteen or seventeen years of age, armed with a spear, ran to the front and hurriedly said to the girl, because he had just run at a fast pace, and he wanted to tell the girl about it quickly, and he was out of breath for a while, and his face flushed with urgency.

"Ah coward, tell me slowly, who broke into the forbidden land?"

The girl raised a soft light in her hand, shining on the young man's body, and the young man suddenly felt smooth and comfortable.

"The saint is a native of the Central Plains, about twenty years old, with black hair and blue clothes, he is very powerful. He didn't know what method he used, and with a wave of his hand, he knocked down Uncle Ah and the others. ”

While the young man was talking about a scene that had happened not long ago, a cricket old woman walked out of the left side hall of the temple and asked urgently, "Tell me, where did that person go?" ”

When the young man saw the rickety old woman, he hurriedly wanted to salute, but the old woman grabbed his arm and asked urgently, "Tell me quickly, did that person trespass into the forbidden place in the lake?" ”

The young man was frightened by the anxious and terrible face of the old woman, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Big ...... Great Elder, the man is heading to the forbidden land in the middle of the lake. ”

Before he finished speaking, the old woman's face changed greatly, "It's not good, that person is probably going to release the water monster." ”

As soon as the three words of the water monster came out, the young man's face suddenly turned extremely ugly, and he trembled and said, "He, is he going to release that demon?" ”

The old woman ignored him, but glanced at the girl lovingly, stroked her jade hair with her hand, and said softly, "Xingyao, come with me." This is the mission of your clan, the responsibility of the Nuwa clan! If that person really wants to release the water monster, only you can subdue it. ”

The girl's bright eyes raised and she said curiously: "Mother-in-law, what is a water monster?" ”

The old woman did not say a word, but sighed softly, and immediately led the girl out of the temple and hurried to the forbidden place in the middle of the lake.

Surrounded by green mountains, the lake is blue, the lake reflects the blue sky and white clouds, at a glance, it seems to be difficult to see the edge.

There are a lot of fishing boats on the lake, the eye-catching, you can also see the fishing boats on the strong man standing on the bow of the boat, holding a harpoon fishing net, waiting to fish, on the shore of the big lake, there are Miao women taking water on the lakeside, some Miao children follow behind, barefoot in the lake to play in the water.

If someone observes carefully, although these fishing boats scattered on the lake are densely scattered in all directions, there is only one place that has never been approached, and that is the middle of the lake!

It was a sunny day, an excellent weather, but for no reason there was a gust of wind, which stirred up the calm lake to ripple and waves, dark clouds gathered from all directions, the sky was gloomy as ink, and a stormy and oppressive heavy breath penetrated from the clouds.

"Oh no, that person is breaking the seal!"

The old woman who was rushing to the forbidden place in the middle of the lake with Xingyao looked up at the sky, and with a thought, her pace became faster and faster.

In the depths of the lake, in the center of the lake, a half-human, half-snake statue stands in the water, and eight small stone towers arch around the statue, divided into eight trigrams, and connected by iron cables, as if forming a seal, suppressing some great evil here.

A young man stepped on the water, stood not far from the statue, looked at it quietly, looked at the statue a few times, shook the sleeves of his robe slightly, and the eight stone towers immediately exploded, and even the statue was half destroyed.

The next moment, the turquoise water bloomed from the depths of the lake, and a chaotic, vicious, and violent aura swept through the bottom of the lake to the sky.

The lake swelled wildly, setting off violent waves, strong winds, thunder, and torrential rain came in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, the rain covered the sky, and the rain on the ground gathered at an alarming speed.

"Whoa, Ang, Woo,..., Roar"

Eight voices came from the bottom of the deep water, and the wild and tyrannical killing intent was overwhelming, as if it wanted to destroy everything, as if to make this land a country.

The water of the lake where the statues and the eight stone towers are located tumbles incessantly, as if some behemoth is about to break out.

Xing Yao and the old woman rushed here in the pouring rain, and the rain of the sky could not block the sight of a fairy and a god, and the two of them saw the young man stepping on the water when they arrived.

"Is that you?"

The girl recognized the man and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's me."

The young man smiled slightly, looking back and greeting.

"Why are you here? Leave quickly, the elder said that the water monster is about to be born, and you will be in danger......"

The girl remembered something, and stupidly asked the young man to leave, but before she finished speaking, the old woman tugged at her sleeve and shook her head, "Xing Yao, I think the Central Plains man who injured the guards and broke into the forbidden land should be referring to him." ”

The old woman looked at the young man with cold eyes, and there was a thick fear and vigilance in her eyes.

"But mother-in-law, he gave me a gift last time, why, how could he be a bad guy who injured Uncle A?"

The girl's face was incredulous, and she looked at the old woman, and then turned her head to look at the young man. Her definition of good and evil is very interesting!

"You guessed right, but I didn't hurt them, they just slept."

The young man glanced at the girl strangely and smiled.

"No matter who you are, do you know the consequences of releasing the Water Demon Beast?"

"I know that the Water Demon Beast, one of the Ancient Five Spirit Demon Beasts, coexists with the world, immortal and immortal. Cholera was rampant and flooded the earth, and was later suppressed by Nuwa. ”

The young man replied slowly, as if he didn't care about this immortal and immortal five-spirit demonic beast that coexisted with the world.

"Do you know it, but you dare to release it? Young man, do you know how many innocent beings will suffer if you break the seal of the great god Nuwa, and the water monsters will run rampant on the earth, and the flood will be monstrous? ”

The old woman's righteous words were strong, and her withered old face was almost engraved with the word "justice" directly.

"What if you know? I don't know what? I'm just here to catch a little pet that only watches the mountain gate......"

The young man was careless, his eyes turned, his pupil structure was reorganized, and he was indifferent, and at a glance he saw an eight-headed snake breaking through the water from the depths of the water and was about to be born.

"Immortal and immortal, coexisting with the world? Isn't it amazing? ”

The young man smiled indifferently, and the heavy rain and wind were even more intense, and his hair and clothes fluttered fiercely.

"You, you, you, such a arrogant boy, such a young man who doesn't know the height of the sky......" (To be continued.) )
