Chapter 13: The Turtle's Private Request
readx;
My eyes blinked, and I looked at the stone turtle sincerely. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info clear lake water, ripples. A glimmer of air was falling on the stone turtle.
The stone turtle's eyes twinked and said, "Stupid boy, I've been sleeping in the cave for so many years. How do I know where to look for someone with worms from the underworld? Since you have white eggs, the task of finding the worms from the underworld should be completed by you, and now you are asking me, you say you are stupid or not."
I gasped, as the old saying goes, old and not dead is a thief, and the turtle has lived for so many years. I'm afraid that I have already become a monster, and it will not hurt my face to be scolded by it.
I sighed and said, "Turtle-sama, I remember. I, Xiao Ning, will definitely find the second worm from the underworld."
"Rest assured. When the time comes, God will arrange for you to meet worms from the underworld, and I hope you will not live up to my expectations. It's not in vain that I've lived in a cave for so many years," the stone turtle's voice returned to seriousness.
I said, "It's good to meet you." Otherwise, it's troublesome. Turtle-sama, you're done, can I get out of here?" I paused. Then he said, "Only when I leave here can I go looking for another worm from the underworld." ”
The stone turtle said unhappily: "What are you doing in such a hurry, I still have something to say." It's rare to meet someone to talk to. You're going to have to let me say more."
I nodded, and stood respectfully in place, not moving.
The stone turtle then said: "Xiao Ning, do you know that there are several turtles like me in the land of Kyushu, I haven't seen them for some years. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to see them again in this life. ”
"Ahh
I asked, "I've heard my master say that it seems that there is a huge turtle on the Yellow River Ancient Road, is it your brother?"
The stone turtle was silent for a while before responding: "It should be my younger brother, who was assigned to the Yellow River to guard at that time." To tell the truth, the water in the Yellow River is big, the winter is cold, and the water is also muddy, and if you don't do it well, some people will die in the water. It must not have had a very good time there. Unlike me, there is not a hint of cold wind, and there are so many toad brothers around me, my poor brother."
"It's amazing, it's incredible," I sighed from the bottom of my heart.
When Master Bai first talked about the Gu insects in the Yellow River Valley, he once mentioned that there was a giant tortoise on the ancient road of the Yellow River, which I thought was a legend, or maybe Master Bai said it was fun.
I didn't expect that such a turtle really existed, and it was still the younger brother of the turtle in front of me.
The stone turtle fell into the memories of the past, and said: "Except for the Yellow River, there is my younger brother. My brother lives in Wudang Mountain. It's a high mountain, and in winter it snows heavily. There is still a strong wind blowing in the cave, and it is estimated that it will not be too good. Unlike me, there is no cold wind, and the lake is still warm, my poor brother."
"Wudang Mountain, don't tell me, Zhang Zhenren watched the turtle and snake fight and enlightened Tai Chi, and the fighting turtle is your brother" I was more and more surprised.
Shi Turtle said: "What Zhang Zhenren, what turtle snake, what Tai Chi, I don't know." When my brother lived in Wudang Mountain, I was afraid that there was nothing strange about Zhang and some people."
"Real People"
I thought to myself, thinking that when the stone turtle was sleeping in Wuyuan, there was no Zhang Zhenren at that time, and it was not surprising that it didn't know the allusion of Zhang Zhenren watching the battle of the snake turtle and creating Taiji.
"What are you talking about, real dummy, why don't you talk about clay figures," the stone turtle said jokingly.
I hurriedly explained: "It's a Taoist priest"
The stone turtle shook his head, obviously not interested in Zhang Zhenren, and continued: "There is also a younger brother in the distant plateau area. I haven't seen it for years, and I miss it so much. It's on the plateau, and it should have been used to it all these years. Where is it frozen and snowy all year round."
"It's not like you, there is no cold wind, and there are so many toad brothers around you, you poor brother." After listening to it twice, my ears were calloused, and I said the second half of the sentence for the stone turtle.
The stone turtle said, "You doll." The old man will always be verbose and will often repeat some words. You don't have the patience at all, you're not a good boy. ”
I pouted and said, "Lord Turtle, one of your younger brothers is in the Yellow River, one is in Wudang Mountain, and one is on the plateau. Is there anything else?"
The stone turtle let out a strange laugh, and then said: "It's the four brothers, maybe there are some big turtles, big snakes and the like distributed all over Kyushu, I don't know. I don't dare to think too much about these secrets. ”
The stone turtle suddenly became mysterious, and from what he said, I secretly guessed that he and his brother were scattered separately, and that it was arranged by a powerful master. It's just that he can't say anything about this person.
I said: "Actually, if you don't say it, I can guess it, like the Yangtze River, there are probably your kind." To be able to arrange you so cleverly, there must be some human ancestor above Huaxia. Maybe you don't even know. ”
Shi Gui said: "You kid is really smart. Well, let's not go far. Now that I'm old and big, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to see my two younger brothers and one brother again. ”
Stone turtles are true, they are hidden in the mountains, and they must not be easily left. Jiangxi, where Wuyuan is located, is thousands of miles away from Wudang Mountain, the Yellow River Ancient Road, and the mysterious plateau. Coupled with their large bodies, they cannot cross the vast territory and pass through densely populated towns and cities on their own.
All kinds of factors cut off the possibility of them meeting again.
There is no chance to see you again in this life, the love of robes, the righteousness of brothers and sisters, can only dissipate in eternal time and loneliness.
After the stone turtle finished speaking, his voice was a little choked.
I am reminded of what Master Bai once said, that all things that are eternal with time are lonely.
It was only at this point that I understood a little bit.
I think that if I hadn't been here, I would have been unheard of by Turtle-sama, and it would have been hidden in the deepest part of my heart and would have become a sad sorrow that could not be erased.
"Turtle-sama, is there anything I can help you with?" I couldn't help but ask.
The stone turtle said: "Yes."
Hearing this, I almost vomited a mouthful of old blood, and it replied really crisply.
I looked at the stone turtle and asked, "Say it?"
Shi Gui said: "After you finish dealing with the important things at hand." I'm sorry for you to take a trip to Wudang Mountain, the Yellow River Ancient Road and the plateau, and say hello to my two younger brothers and one elder brother for me. ”
I thought to myself that it would cost a lot of money to go to those places, so I said, "When I grow up and make money." I'm going to check them out and help you say hello to them. ”
Shi Gui said: "I remember. Hope you can't break your word"
I remembered the old turtle in the Tongtian River in Journey to the West, carrying Tang Xuanzang across the Tongtian River, and after crossing the river, I implored Tang Seng to ask the Buddha when its merits would be complete. A few years later, Tang Seng returned, and sat on the back of the old turtle, who knew that Tang Seng had forgotten about this matter, the old turtle was very angry, so he threw them into the river, and even the scriptures were wet.
"Well, of course, I will not forget my promise today. But I really have to wait for me to finish my business, and I don't know what year or month. Maybe at that time. I am long gone, and my soul has dissipated without a trace. I said with some sigh.
Even if I earn enough money for my trip, I really can't earn my life. If I'm done with things and my life is gone, I won't be able to help the stone turtle.
The stone turtle heard the emotion in my voice and hurriedly asked, "You have been selected by the soil egg, and you are an auspicious star." Why is there depression in the words, there seems to be infinite melancholy, those things can be completed in ten years, ten years later, you are in the head of your youth, what is there to sigh about"
I said, "Lord Turtle." I am a disaster star, and I would not have survived a long time ago. Although I have lived a few more years now, the road ahead is very difficult. ”
Hearing this, the stone turtle moved two steps forward, his eyes rolled, and the deep and unpredictable light looked over, penetrating my heart, and said: "You stupid boy, I'll take a look at your fate, how long can it last"~ Good search basket color, you can read the following chapters as soon as possible
