Chapter 240: Flower Bell and Turtle Stewed Cohosh (7)
"The little turtle...... Is that what you call a tortoise? ”
Before the eighth master could answer, he heard the shopkeeper say in a very surprised voice: "It's strange, why is it dark again when it's just dawn this day." ”
Sure enough, after only a while, the inn became dark, and it wasn't until Xiao Er lit up all the lights and candles that everyone could see each other's appearances clearly. Chen Dahu stood at the door of the inn and looked around, Gao Zhan had already rushed out of the inn with a knife, Bai Li was still looking at the place where the eighth master was standing, but the eighth master and his brothers had disappeared.
"Where's the eighth master?" Bai Li asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know, when I lit the lamp just now, I saw a few black shadows, vaguely those guests from other places, but after the lights were turned on, the people were gone." ”
"Monsters, there are really monsters in this Huaxi Town!" As soon as the shopkeeper's words fell, Bai Li heard Chen Dahu's voice again, she walked to the door of the inn in confusion, and saw a huge snake-headed monster that almost covered the entire inn.
It hung in mid-air in a vacant posture, the snake's head downward, as if staring at the people in Huaxi Town, Bai Li raised his head and collided with its gaze, only to feel cold all over his body, and quickly staggered.
"The snake-headed turtle body, could it be the whirling turtle that the eighth master said in his mouth?" Gao Zhan took two steps back with a tense face, and stood side by side with Chen Dahu standing in front of the inn.
"Spiral tortoise? This monster is a whirling turtle? No, that's not right, didn't that eighth master just say that he picked up a little turtle. This turtle is small, and it is bigger than the inn we are staying at on one foot. ”
"That Eighth Master must have hidden part of the truth." Gao Zhan stared at the whirling turtle, and the whirling turtle also stared at Gao Zhan. "No matter what you are, if you endanger the people of my Huaxi Town, I, Gao Zhan, will kill you desperately, and I will not show mercy."
Gao Zhancai pulled out the saber he was carrying, and the whirling turtle hanging in the air shook his head, and the wind blew fiercely in an instant, and after the wind rested and the sky was bright, the whirling turtle was gone, but there was a young man lying on the street not far from the inn. The young man, dressed in black, seemed to have blood on the corners of his clothes.
"Brother Gao, someone is injured." Chen Dahu didn't think about it, so he rushed out of the inn directly, and when he ran to the black-clothed young man, he remembered to look at the sky. After confirming that the tortoise had disappeared, he helped the black-clothed young man back.
"Hey, who are you, why are you lying on the street in a good manner? Did you also meet the monster you just had, and were you bitten by it? Without waiting for the young man in black to sit down, Chen Dahu began to chatter and ask: "That, my name is Chen Dahu, and you were rescued by me." Don't worry, I don't want to reciprocate my kindness, if you really have a heart, invite me to drink. ”
The young man in black raised his head and said, "Spiral Turtle...... My name is the Tortoise, and that's what you humans call me. ”
"Spiral tortoise? Revolve...... Turtle? Chen Dahu's eyes widened and he muttered, "Brother, don't be kidding, where do you look like a spinning turtle?" ”
"You just said that I was a monster, so what's so difficult about this change technique?" The tortoise curled the corners of his lips and looked at Gao Zhan: "I have no intention of being scared, let alone hurting anyone, and I have never hurt anyone in your Huaxi Town." I'm injured and can't control my physical changes, so I've tried to get out of this inn as much as I can. ”
"Are you really a whirling turtle, the monster that just floated in mid-air?" Chen Dahu asked in disbelief, and after asking, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand: "That...... I don't mean to offend, I'm just going to make sure, because you don't look like the same monster in any way. ”
"Do you want me to change it again?" The tortoise picked its eyes and looked at Chen Dahu.
Chen Dahu hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, no change, I believe it, I believe you, can't I?" I think it's good that you're like this, more powerful and more powerful than you were just now. That one...... Can I ask you one more thing, why did you come to our Huaxi Town? ”
"I didn't want to come, I was brought by someone."
"Brought by someone? Oh, by the way, I remembered, Eighth Master, the Eighth Master who just talked to us. You were brought to Huaxi Town by the Eighth Master, so why did he bring you to Huaxi Town? ”
"Huaxi Town has the people I'm looking for, and there are people he is looking for." The tortoise said and covered his heart.
"You're hurt?" Chen Dahu moved his gaze to the mouth of the tortoise's heart: "There is blood, it seems that you are really injured, who injured you?" Is that the eighth master? ”
"It's not! How could he, a mere mortal, hurt me. The Spiral Turtle snorted coldly: "I forcibly broke the formation and was counterattacked by that formation." That glutton, who is a foreign beast himself, is in the company of you humans. ”
"Gluttony? What is this gluttony? Chen Dahu scratched his head and asked.
"The ancient beasts are said to be very greedy." Bai Li helped the tortoise and replied, "You were sealed by gluttony?" ”
"It's not!" The tortoise replied, "I was hurt by those bastards who deceived the world. Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that they were Fluttershy's brothers, I wouldn't have shown mercy. ”
"Brother Tortoise, you've confused me, whether you were hurt by gluttony, the eighth master, or the brother in your mouth. Also, who is this Fluttershy? Listen to what you mean, it seems that you like this girl a lot? Could it be that she is your sweetheart, and her brother disagrees with you being together because you are a tortoise, so she beats the mandarin ducks. If that's the case, I think you have to think about it, no one can accept that their apprentice or sister is with a tortoise. ”
The tortoise looked at Chen Dahu and didn't speak.
The Spiral Turtle was originally not involved in the world, it was those people who were sanctimonious and had other plans that violated his realm and disturbed his rest, so he was forced to show up in desperation, wanting to scare away those so-called Xuanmen people, the so-called immortal cultivators.
He didn't have murderous intentions until he saw those people bullying a little girl with a bun and a palace bell hanging from her waist.
That little girl is Fluttershy.
Fluttershy mistakenly thinks he's a brother from another sect, and when she sees that he is hurting to save herself, she worries that he will be pestered by the other party's brother, so she doesn't even ask, and she doesn't even think about it, so she pulls him and runs away. The tortoise has lived for tens of thousands of years, and it is the first time that it has been pulled away by such a little girl, saying that it is impossible to feel a little bit in my heart.
But at the time, he didn't think about how he and Fluttershy would ever have any entanglements with him in the future.
He remembers that it was the way down the mountain, and as Fluttershy dragged him down the mountain, the mountain breeze blew through the bell around her waist, making a string of crisp bells. After running for a long time, Fluttershy stops, points to a tree on the side of the mountain road, and says to him in a panting voice, "Let's rest for a while, I'...... I can't run. I knew that running for my life was such a tiring job, so I learned it when Master and my brother taught me swordsmanship. It's good now, I don't know anything, I have to run on two legs. ”
