Chapter 58: The Ten Thousand Year Turtle
In the night, two flickering lights moved slowly, like a snail crawling.
If it weren't for the rustling sound of the thick leaves crushing under the weight of the weight, and the two beams of light, you wouldn't know that a behemoth was slowly approaching.
The two lights gradually approached, and with the light, the trembling sensation of the ground became more and more obvious.
It was like a train moving in the distance, and it was like the vibration of thousands of horses galloping dozens of miles away.
But in comparison, the voice is noticeably smoother.
Indeed, the rhythm of the vibrations is as slow as the light is approaching.
Bang... Bang... Boom, Ou Zhou found that every time there was a sound, there was an interval of ten seconds, which was particularly regular.
Closer, closer, the two lights became more and more distinct. The vibration is getting stronger, but it's still full of charm.
At this time, the three Ou Zhou siblings were surprised to see that a vague huge hill with a faint glow was slowly advancing.
The three of them covered their mouths in unison, and watched in amazement as the hill with a ghostly light slowly passed under the big tree, like a snail, slowly moving towards Longtan.
Boom, boom, boom......
"We don't have flowers, how can we walk on the hills, and there are two little lanterns?" Ou Zhou whispered in surprise.
"Shhh Kefiel said in amazement as she looked at the drifting object.
"And what do you say?"
"When we dived up from Longtan, we used to sit on a round boulder to rest. Do you see that this walking object is very similar to the round boulder? ”
"yes, I just said how do you look familiar?" Ou Zhou patted the back of his head.
"But what round boulder can't walk, and there aren't two little lanterns, and why doesn't it respond when we've been sitting on it for so long?" Jiang Yang said in surprise.
"Why don't we sneak over and see what the hell is that?" Ou Zhou suggested.
"Brother, are you sure there is no danger?" Koffier questioned.
"I'm sure not." Ou Zhou said firmly.
"I don't feel the danger either." Jiang Yang also said.
"Alright then, let's take a look from afar." Coffiel had no choice but to give in.
The three of them quietly climbed down the tree and followed the path of the hill, far behind.
The ground has been pressed out of the hill by a path five meters wide, which is much easier to walk than before.
Every few meters on both sides of the road, there are several potholes evenly distributed, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it.
The pits are also very evenly spaced in size, like a masterpiece that has been printed out according to a program.
Since the pits are located on both sides of the road, as long as you follow the middle, you don't have to worry about falling into it.
The three siblings held their breath, and after about half an hour, they followed the walking hill to the edge of the dragon pool.
By this time, it was already dark.
The three siblings saw that the glowing hill had turned slowly around the boulder where they had once sit, and the two small lanterns flickered three times, as if they were signaling.
The hill began to move again, this time down into the stone cave that led to the dragon pool. The ghostly light on his back is still visible in the water.
As soon as you enter the cave, the speed of the hill suddenly increases. At this time, under the illumination of the ghostly light, it was faintly visible that four feet were sticking out from the bottom of the hill, moving at a constant speed, paddling the water.
At this moment, the two small lanterns were out of sight.
The three of them only woke up at this time.
Ou Zhou couldn't help but whisper: "It turned out to be a huge mountain turtle, and those two small lanterns were actually its eyes." ”
"I say, how can such a behemoth not feel the slightest danger!" Jiangyang Qidao.
"Yes, the turtle is a relatively peaceful animal, occasionally eating meat, but it eats once every year, and mostly feeds on mountain fruit and seaweed." Ke Feier took a breath and said slowly.
"No, which turtle we've sat on doesn't move, and there is no small lantern, and it doesn't shine?" Ou Zhou Road.
"Shall we go over and take a look?" Jiang Yang said.
"Could it be asleep?" Ou Zhou asked.
"If you fall asleep, this giant tortoise should wake it up when it comes and walks around?" Ke Feier is a girl in the end, and her mind is more delicate.
"Isn't it, which is a dead turtle?" Ou Zhou thought about it and said.
"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Jiang Yang patted the back of his head.
"Chances are," said Coffel, "that giant tortoise that went into the water circled this one, a bit like a human sacrifice relative. ”
"My sister's analysis makes sense." Ou Zhou nodded.
"And this giant tortoise should have been dead for a long time?" Kefeier said.
"Pretty sister, how do you come to this conclusion?" Jiang Yang was curious.
"The temperature in this valley is significantly cooler than outside. But no matter what animal dies, the carcass will rot when exposed to the air, but we have sat on it for so long that we can't smell the stench of rancidity. If the body of such a huge mountain turtle is to completely decay and turn into dirt, it will not be able to completely dissolve in a hundred years. Coffier spoke eloquently.
"My sister is so smart, and her analysis is correct." Ou Zhou gave a thumbs up.
"Shall we turn over the turtle shell and take a look?" Jiang Yang's interest has increased greatly.
"No, watch out for that giant tortoise going and coming back!" Kefier stopped.
"Yes, senior brother, that giant tortoise will definitely come back. When it returns to the valley, it's not too late for us to do it. ”
"Brothers, have you ever read the classic novel "Three Words and Two Beats" in the Ming Dynasty? Ke Fei'er asked with a sparkle in her eyes.
"I've seen it, sister, what's wrong?" Ou Zhou asked.
Ke Feier chuckled lightly and said, "I remember there is a story in it, about a scholar who went to sea with a friend to do business, encountered a strong wind on the way, and accidentally came across a large turtle shell on the island, and he thought about getting the turtle shell back to be used as a bed or to carry food. ”
"Hahaha, I understand," Ou Zhou clapped his hands and laughed, "What does my sister mean, maybe there are twenty-four night pearls in this turtle shell?" ”
"Yes, the shell that the scholar brought back was much smaller than this one, and there were so many pearls the size of pigeon eggs. This is like a small hill, and there should be large pearls. Jiang Yang rejoiced.
"Ahh Ou Zhou smiled with a dancing smile.
"Don't be too happy too soon, it's not certain if there are pearls or not?" Kefiel poured cold water on him.
"This is so easy to do," Ou Zhou smiled, "Don't forget our Cave Exploration Micro Heart Method." ”
"yes, how did I forget this stubble, try it!" Jiang Yang urged.
The two brothers each used the Cave Exploration Micro Heart Method to investigate.
As soon as Ou Zhou's Sixth Layer Cave Secret Exploration Micro Heart Method was put into operation, he immediately exclaimed: "My God, it's as big as a chicken egg, and it's still a purple night pearl, yes, it's twenty-four!" ”
"Really?" Ke Feier asked in surprise.
"Yes, beautiful sister, I also feel it, it's purple, twenty-four, each of them is the size of a chick egg!" Jiang Yang confirmed.
"Purple, the size of a chick egg, how can it be a 10,000-year-old mountain turtle!" Kirfier muttered.
The two brothers took the credit.
"Sister, do we have to wait for the giant turtle that entered the water to come back?" Ou Zhou hurriedly asked.
"The giant tortoise travels for a long time, and I don't know how long it will stay in Longtan?"
"Beautiful sister, how do you know that the giant tortoise travels for a long time?"
"You look at the path it walked, when we entered, the valley was in a pristine state, and when the giant tortoise came out, the valley left a clear trajectory of movement."
"That's right, my sister is smart." Ou Zhou gave a thumbs up.
Jiang Yang nodded and said, "Beautiful sister, it's dark and night, what should we do?" ”
Ke Fei'er sighed, "It looks like I'll have to sleep in this valley tonight." Mom and Dad don't see us go back, what should we be anxious about! ”
"If you come, you will be safe. Besides, we have gained a lot this time, twenty-four purple night pearls! Ou Zhou comforted.
"That's right, but we rushed into the water, and our phones were soaked with water, and we couldn't use them. Otherwise, you can also call back and report it. ”
"Mom and Dad have seen our ability, and besides, the three of us are together, so I guess they won't have too much to worry about." Ou Zhou continued to comfort.
"It's just that if I want to go back now, I'm afraid I can't." Kefier said worriedly.
"Pretty sister, why?"
"The giant tortoise is blocking Longtan, how can we get by?"
"Yes, the underwater stone cave leading to Longtan seems to be just big enough to accommodate the body of a giant tortoise, and if it is blocked anywhere, we have no way at all."
The three siblings were thinking about countermeasures here.
The divers of the scenic rescue team have dived three times, but there is no trace of the three teenagers.
Every time they show up, they bring great disappointment to tourists. It was getting late, and the scenic spot was under pressure, so it had to fight with the lights up all night, and sent divers down in shifts to find the three teenagers.
When they infiltrated Longtan for the sixth time, a shocking scene appeared.
Suddenly, as if they had seen the devil, the two divers rushed out of the water at an indescribable speed, climbed ashore and pulled off the breathing apparatus, shouting that they had seen a trapped dragon in the pool.
The body is as big as a mountain, and its two eyes are like two small lanterns.
They said with a lot of color, and then look at their trembling appearances, and their two pale faces.
Frightened, the onlookers retreated, but they couldn't help but be curious and refused to stay away. Stand further away and continue to look this way.
For safety reasons, the rescue team began to evacuate the tourists, urging them to leave the area as soon as possible. And they themselves retreated to a more distant position to discuss their next move.
In fact, it was the giant turtle that the two divers saw.
Ou Zhou, the senior brothers Jiang Yang and Ke Fei'er were blocked by the giant tortoise, and they couldn't go back, so they had to feed on wild fruits and stay on the huge tortoise shell. Wait for the giant tortoise that has entered the water to return.
The fog in the valley is getting thicker, and insects and frogs sing in turn. The breeze stirred the branches and leaves, and there was a sound.
"Sister, such a big turtle shell must be very hard, how do you get which pearls?"
"As soon as the seventh level of your Sun Heart Sutra comes out, what can't be done, can it be difficult for you?" Ke Feier said with a smile.
"It's just that such a perfect turtle shell is rare in the world, and this in itself is a priceless treasure, if you destroy the turtle shell in order to take out the purple pearl, isn't it a bit worth the loss?"
"What do you want to do?" Ke Feier asked, looking at the naughty brother in front of him.
"Can you take out the pearl without destroying the turtle shell?"
"You can try finger power, use your finger force to poke a circle of small holes around the pearl, and then take out the pearl."
"But that would still poke the turtle shell into holes?"
"If you find a way to get this turtle shell out together, it will cause a sensation in the world!" Jiang Yang said with a smile.
"Unless there's a big helicopter lifting."
"We can hire a helicopter."
"Yes, if you put this turtle shell on display in a museum, the entrance fee alone is a considerable amount of income?"
"Build a house with this turtle shell, I'm afraid it can live for eight or nine people!"
"The one that entered the water looks even bigger than this, and it is not easy for them to live in this valley for tens of thousands of years!"
"The thousand-year-old king and eighty-thousand-year-old turtle are really not imaginary. If it weren't for the blessing of this valley, how could these two mountain turtles live so long. ”
"By the way, sister, do you think these two giant tortoises are husband and wife?"
"Judging by the performance of the giant tortoise just now, it is very possible that the husband and wife are related."
"Is this just male or female?"
"Your question stumped my sister." Koffiel laughed.
"Why?" Ou Zhou asked.
"If this turtle was alive, it would be able to tell it, and now there is only one turtle shell left, how can I tell the difference?"
"Why can't you tell the difference?"
"Male turtles usually have a long tail near the tail. The female turtle has a door close to the abdomen and a short tail. The flesh of this turtle shell has turned into dirt, and it is naturally impossible to distinguish it. ”
"What if you turn the turtle shell over?"
"I'm afraid I can't tell the difference."
"After the mountain turtle comes out, we can pay attention to its two parts, and if we know which one, this will be clear."
"Yes, exactly."
"Look, the giant tortoise is out." Ou Zhou said suddenly.
