Chapter 19: The Legend of Giethoorn Lake

It was a scorching summer, the sun was scorching, the air was scorching and hot, the ground was scorching, and the wildflowers and weeds on both sides of the road hung their heads listlessly.

Tam drove vigorously from the official road, and everywhere he went, in addition to the shallow ruts, there was still a chill.

Like rain falling from the sky, the wildflowers on the side of the road suddenly cheered up and straightened their backs.

Of course, this could not be due to the great effort, but to the wonder of the carriage itself.

Or more accurately, it comes from the spirit array engraved on the body.

This formation can not only turn the carriage into an impregnable fortress, but also greatly improve its stability, no matter how rough the ground is, no matter how fast the carriage travels, it is difficult for the people in the carriage to feel the slightest bumping.

In addition, the temperature in the carriage can be controlled at will, so that the passengers always feel warm in winter and cool in summer, which is also a major feature of this spirit array.

In this way, it is no wonder that this car is Ye Shuai's favorite.

But I don't know, how will Ye Shuai feel when he finds out that his beloved car has been vigorously cut off the roof in the future?

In fact, there was no need to wait for that time, not long after coming out of Whitehorse Town, the water in the car was already a little regretful.

Because although the unroofed carriage can block the scorching heat, it can't hide the scorching sun at all!

After a while, Shui'er's little face was turned red by the sun, and she wanted to find a shaded place to hide, but there was nowhere to hide.

At this time, Xia Sheng had already calmed down, and looked at the water jumping up and down, so anxious that the water on his head was smoking, and he couldn't help but laugh.

He stretched out his hand and groped in the burden beside him for a while, then took out an oil-paper umbrella and handed it to Ye Xiao'e, and said with a smile: "Xiao'e, this sunlight is too poisonous, why don't I hold an umbrella for you." ”

Saying that, Xia Sheng glanced at Shui'er casually again, and teased: "Your daughter's family is not as good as me, with such white and tender skin, if she comes back from this trip and is tanned into black charcoal, it will be my sin." ”

Hearing this, Shui'er's face suddenly stiffened, as if a black little man had appeared in his mind, grinning with big white teeth, smiling faintly.

Thinking of this, Shui Er trembled violently, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly became angry in his heart, and he jumped up with lightning speed, and snatched the oil-paper umbrella in Xia Sheng's hand.

"Young Master Xia, why are you embarrassed to trouble you with this kind of rough work? It's my duty to take care of Miss, so I'll come!"

Shui Er opened the umbrella awe-inspiring and raised it above the heads of herself and Ye Xiao'e, and suddenly felt that the whole world had become incomparably better.

Ye Xiao'e smiled at Xia Sheng understandingly: "It's still Brother Ah Sheng's thoughtfulness." ”

Xia Sheng held back a smile in his eyes, and didn't bother with Shui'er, but turned his head to look at Ye Xiao'e, and said slowly: "Yes, we have been out for some time, if Brother Dali doesn't get lost, it is estimated that it won't take long to arrive, anyway, if you are idle, why don't I tell you about the legend of this Giethoorn Lake?"

Ye Xiao'e was full of curiosity and asked, "Oh? Could it be that there is any other legend in this Sheephorn Lake?"

Shui Er on the side had a light in his eyes, stared straight at Xia Sheng, and said, "Is there still a story to listen to?" I like to listen to stories the most, Xia Gongzi tell it quickly, tell it quickly!"

Xia Sheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, legend has it that in the ancient times 10,000 years ago, an incomparably virtuous king was born in this world, named Di Jun, Di Jun has fought countless battles and bloody lives since the beginning of the Southern Wilderness Buting Mountain, and finally completed the first great unification of this continent before the age of twenty-five.

"It is rumored that when Emperor Jun led the army to conquer the cold famine, passing through Mishan, it happened to be a demon dragon making trouble, the demon dragon was surrounded by ice armor, indestructible, with a single horn on his head like a sheep's crown, such as a moon hook, and the power was infinite, and the people were miserable because of their disturbances. ”

"After Emperor Jun learned about it, he led the army to crusade, drove the demon dragon to the border of the Western Wilderness, and finally sealed it on the mountain of beasts under the joint alliance with the ancestor of the West Sea, and he will never escape!"

After listening to Xia Sheng's words, Ye Xiao'e's face suddenly burst out with incomparably admirable brilliance, and muttered: "I didn't expect that in ancient times, there was such an admirable Ming Jun, but it's a pity that Xiao'e was born at the wrong time and couldn't see his true face, which is a great pity." ”

Xia Sheng's eyes flashed with a different color, and he laughed continuously: "Yes, when I first read the legend of this emperor, I was also fascinated, and my admiration for it was like a surging river, endless, and like the flooding of the Yellow River, it was out of control......

However, Xia Sheng's narcissism was ruthlessly interrupted by Shui'er.

"But what does this have to do with Giethoorn?"

For Shui'er, these ancient myths and legends, she was familiar with them as early as she was a child, although she didn't know where the allusion to the demon dragon came from, but at least Di Jun was a person she had heard of it a long time ago, so she didn't make such a fuss as Ye Xiao'e.

Shui'er's question immediately choked Xia Sheng.

He glared at Shui Er viciously, and then continued: "It is said that when the emperor Jun was fighting with the demon dragon, he passed by here, and the emperor turned into a long sword and cut off the demon dragon's single horn with one blow, which greatly damaged its strength. ”

Hearing this, Shui Er finally became interested, and asked again: "In this way, the shape of Longjiao Lake is the same as the appearance of the demon dragon dragon horn back then?

Xia Sheng rolled his eyes and explained angrily: "It's just a legend, who knows if it's true, and don't say it far away, just take the history of our Dajin Dynasty for five hundred years, the dragon has always been an extremely sacred and auspicious symbol, and it also represents the respect of the Ninety-Five, on behalf of the emperor and his old man, maybe it is for the royal avoidance, so the name was changed." ”

Shui Er didn't seem to have heard enough, and said continuously: "In addition to the legend of the demon dragon, is there any other story in this Sheephorn Lake?"

This time, Xia Sheng had a weird smile on his face.

"Speaking of which, there is indeed a strange story about this Giethoorn Lake, which I happened to meet two days ago with a fisherman in the town, and listened to his old man. However, compared to the legend of the demon dragon, this incident has just happened in recent years, and it is said that now there is a lake god in the Giethoorn Lake!"

"Lake God!" Shui Er's eyes widened, his face full of shock.

Xia Sheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't dare to say whether there is really a god who has come into the world, but according to the description of the fisherman, the lake god of this Giethoorn Lake is dozens of zhang long, wearing silver scales and water armor......

Hearing this, Shui Er had already covered her mouth with one hand, turned her head and glanced at Ye Xiao'e.

The two said in unison: "It's a spirit animal!"
