Bai Ze sat cross-legged on the ground, supported his chin with his hand, and looked at the old turtle lying on the opposite side motionlessly. There were a lot of "ghosts" of the kind they had seen before hanging on the walls around them, one by two, all of them wearing human skins, but the human skins were wrapped in small well fish.

"I can't beat you!" The old turtle turned his head: "If you want to kill, kill, if you want to stew, don't look at me with your smiling eyes, I'm panicking." ”

"How beautiful my eyes are, you actually say that you are panicking." Bai Ze nodded on the old turtle's head: "Say, when did you start harming people." ”

"Don't wronged me, I didn't hurt anyone." The old turtle twisted his neck: "At least, I didn't hurt a good person." ”

"Bad guys are people, too." Bai Ze first finished speaking righteously, and then added: "Of course, I don't object to you harming bad people, after all, it has nothing to do with me, and I reluctantly went down to the well to talk to you for the sake of silver." In addition, I'm curious, curious why are you bothering with Master Han everywhere, but he has offended you? ”

The old turtle stretched his neck and looked at Bai Ze for a while before replying, "He deserves to die!" ”

Not far from Huaxi Town, there is a small village called Caomiao, which is not large, with only a dozen families. At the back of the village, there is a semi-dry pond called the turtle pond. Even the oldest man in the village couldn't tell why it was called.

The village is small, there is nothing to see, there is nothing to see, those women in the village have nothing to do, they will bring the clothes that need to be washed to the edge of the turtle pond, while washing clothes, while chatting about homely things, life is so plain and bland. Until one day, a woman who was washing clothes accidentally found a turtle in the pond, so she called the man from the house to go down and catch it.

The news of the presence of turtles in the pond in Caomiao Village soon spread. Master Han came back from the capital, and knew that the favorite food of those noble lords in the capital was turtles, so he hired people to dig up the entire pond.

Thousands of turtles were wiped out by Master Han in this way, and all of them became the signature dishes of the spring banquet, and the only one that escaped was the one lying opposite Bai Ze now.

"Those who were eaten by Master Han are your children and grandchildren, right?"

The old turtle glanced at Bai Ze and nodded: "When I was young, I was ignorant, relying on some Taoism, I made waves in the village and did evil, and was later suppressed in that pond by a passing Taoist priest. In recent years, the seal of the pond has been loosened a little, so I can barely come out to breathe, and by the way, let myself enjoy the joy of the world. If you don't believe me, you can go to the village and ask, I haven't done anything bad since I broke the seal. ”

Bai Ze pinched his fingers and nodded: "No need to go, I'll know that you didn't lie to me." ”

"This is natural selection, our turtle clan is not as noble as the human race, and there is no way to be eaten. But his surname Han is too desperate, he is not eating turtles, he wants to destroy my whole clan. It's not enough to kill my children and grandchildren, but they will chop me up and boil soup and drink it. I fought hard to escape from the butcher's knife called Ma San. I couldn't outrun them because I had short legs, and there happened to be a well here, so I climbed in. ”

"Aren't you an old turtle who has cultivated for thousands of years? How can you be afraid of a mere mortal's kitchen knife. ”

The old turtle glanced at Bai Ze unhappily: "Doesn't your old man claim to know all things in heaven and earth?" Why didn't I see that my thousand-year-old cultivation path was still unusable, and I was still imprisoned, and it hadn't been completely broken at all. As long as I can use a little bit of mana, I won't watch my disciples and grandchildren being eaten up by the one surnamed Han. ”

"What's going on with those?" Bai Ze swept around.

"Well, that's a long story." The old turtle retracted his head: "When I fell, I happened to hit a person's body, it was a girl, the person was not dead, but it was almost the same." Although I have practiced for thousands of years, I am now just an ordinary old turtle with no mana, and I was slightly injured when I fell from such a high place. I asked the girl if she had been harmed by the surname Han, and if so, I could help her avenge her, but only if she gave me her three souls and six spirits. ”

"Sorcery?"

"What is good and what is evil, in that case, the most important thing is to be able to protect yourself. Besides, I didn't take it by force, she was willing to give it, I took it, if she didn't want to, I waited until she died. ”

Bai Ze scratched his head, feeling that the old turtle's words were wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong. The law of the jungle seems to have always been the rule of survival in this world.

"The girl agreed?"

"Agreed, she hates the surname Han, and wishes I could help her get revenge. I ate her three souls and six spirits, and barely recovered a little weakness, but the person surnamed Han actually sealed the wellhead. ”

"Can't get out?"

"Hmm!" The old turtle lowered his head unwillingly: "You can also see, I have only recovered a little bit of mana, not to mention revenge, I can't even climb this deep well." But since you have eaten other people's souls, you should do what you promised other people's girls, otherwise, where will my old face go. I couldn't climb up, so I had to stay down the well every day and ponder how I could help myself and how I could avenge the poor girl. But I thought about it, and I didn't think of a good way. After staying for a long time, it was also a little boring, and it happened that there were some small fish in this well, so I tried to use mana to make a puppet of the small fish, but I didn't expect it to be done. ”

"The puppet can just make one of two, why are you doing so much? Are you going to let them beat Master Han in groups? ”

"Is that okay?" The old turtle raised his head and asked: "I didn't think about it so much, I just felt that I couldn't get out, and I was idle, and I did so much unconsciously." ”

"All in the girl's way?"

The old turtle nodded: "It's all done according to that girl, at the beginning, the girl's face was quite clear, and the puppet I made was also presentable, and then later, her facial features began to become blurred, and the things I made were blurred." In the end, it became the skeletons. ”

"You are an old turtle, you can make so many things, but it is difficult for you." Bai Ze pinched the shell of the old turtle and got up: "Let's discuss something, if you want to take revenge, I won't stop you, but don't stop me from making money." Although I know everything in the world, but mortals don't believe it, and finally open a fortune-telling stall, but it hasn't been opened for three years, and I can't eat for three years after opening. I promised Master Han that as long as you hand over Ma San's soul, he would pay me the money. ”

"Didn't you come down and get me?" The old turtle was dangling in Bai Ze's hand.

"I don't know if the old turtle can make soup, or will you wait for me to ask?" Bai Ze hummed lightly and carried the old turtle to the mouth of the well.
