Chapter 62: The Divine Turtle and the Dragon
Qilian snow drifts, weak water freezes, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, Qilian Mountain in the middle of the night is like a big ice cave. Di Rong put Shi Ning's body on the stone bed, the stone bed was carried back from Qilian Mountain by dozens of Bizi people, Di Rong sat on the stone bed on weekdays to practice, absorbing Di Rong's true qi for many years, Di Rong cherished this stone bed very much, and usually only she could approach the stone bed. It has been covered with ice and snow for many years, and it is better to say that it is a stone bed, but it is better to say that it is an ice bed.
"Abaha, your body won't hurt when you lie on the stone bed, you can sleep well, I will go to the mountain as soon as possible to find you a medicine primer!" Di Rong was afraid that the cold of the stone bed would freeze Shi Ning's body, and covered Shi Ning with the white fox coat she was wearing.
Chen Xunu, who was yawning on the side, said unhappily: "Isn't it okay to find medicine tomorrow?" Benjun is already sleepy and just wants to sleep. ”
"Sister, if you are wronged for a few more days, once this Qilian Mountain is up, I am afraid that it will not be able to come down in three or five days......"
"What? You actually let Ben Jun eat and camp on the barren mountains and mountains? Ben Jun has been locked up for so long, and he can finally go out for a walk, and you actually let me go up the mountain without sleeping late at night?" Although Chen Xunu was taken to Qilian Mountain by the Bizi people, Di Rong heard that she was the Xuanwu Star Divine Monarch of the Xinghua Hall of Sun Moon New City, and she did not abuse her, although she did not have a palace attic to live in, but three meals a day were indispensable, and Chen Xunu could not go anywhere, so she could only stay in the tree prison and sleep every day.
"As long as my sister helps me this time, after the matter is completed, I promise to send my sister back to Sun Moon New City!"
"Is that true?!"
"I swear to the moon god, if it is false, the sky will thunder and thunder and die!"
"Alright, let's hurry up the mountain!"
Just after the hour, Di Rong took a bow and arrow, the quiver was full of arrows, and as soon as the whistle blew, the white wolf immediately ran over, and Di Rong said, "Sister, let's go!"
"It's up to us...... Two of you?" said Chen Xunu puzzled.
"Late at night on the mountain, there are a lot of wild beasts, it is not suitable for many people to go forward, only I am familiar with the mountain, the clansmen go up the mountain not only can not help, but also sacrifice in vain when encountering fierce beasts. ”
"But Benjun is just a doctor after all, he has no martial arts, what can he do when he encounters a fierce beast......" Chen Xunu put down Shenjun's shelf and said weakly.
"Sister, don't be afraid!
The dignified Xuanwu Star Divine Monarch of the Xinghua Hall actually let a nameless person who has no name on the rivers and lakes protect him, Chen Xunu suddenly felt that she lost face, so she said: "Can you call me my honorific title in the future, my name on the rivers and lakes is also well-known......"
"Okay, Sister Shenjun!"
"The ...... that the god can't bring the word sister"
Before Chen Xunu could speak, Di Rong had already put her on the back of the white wolf, and the white wolf carried Chen Xunu to the mountain.
"Hey, wolf, don't run around!" was so frightened that Chen Xuunu pinched the mane behind the white wolf and shouted loudly.
"Sister Shenjun, don't be afraid, my little white wolf is very obedient and won't throw you down!" The white wolf has a huge physique, and Di Rong is afraid of tired of the white wolf, so she only lets the white wolf carry Chen Xunu, and she runs behind the white wolf and follows closely.
"You let me down! Benjun has his own mount, not a wolf!"
"Where did Sister Shenjun get her mount?" Di Rong whistled, and the white wolf that was running quickly stopped steadily.
Chen Xunu staggered down from the white wolf, frightened, covered her dizzy head, slowly took out the small turtle from her sleeve, and said, "Oh, look, this is Benjun's mount!"
Di Rong looked at the little turtle and laughed heartily: "Sister Shenjun, your mount is a little smaller!"
"Keep your eyes open and take a good look!" Chen Xunu took out a pill from the medicine bag on her waist and fed it to the turtle, only to see that the turtle quickly grew larger, and after a while, it grew the size of a sedan chair.
Chen Xunu sat cross-legged on the back of the turtle and said comfortably: "It's so comfortable!
Di Rong said melancholy: "Comfortable is comfortable, this turtle just walks slowly, I'm afraid that when I reach the top of the mountain, the sky will be bright!"
"It's okay, Benjun can make the little turtle go faster. I saw that Chen Xunu fed the turtle another pill, and although the turtle's pace accelerated to the fastest, it was only a little faster than a human walking.
Di Rong had no choice but to ride a white wolf to follow behind. The turtle walked slowly and slowly, and the white wolf kept driving the turtle behind the turtle, and the turtle was timid and afraid that the white wolf would bite it, and when he heard the howl of the white wolf, he cheered up and walked forward at a faster speed.
"Don't underestimate this little turtle, this gentleman got the name 'Xuanwu Star Divine Monarch' because of the little turtle's merits. ”
"Then how did you get the name of Sister Shenjun?" did not meet a fierce beast along the way, and the two chatted.
"The left green dragon, the right white tiger, the upper vermilion bird, the lower Xuanwu, the Xuanwu totem in the four elephants is the Divine Turtle, and the Divine Turtle is Xuanwu!
"Then who is this Zuo Qinglong or something?" Di Rong had only heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that Zuo Qinglong was the head of the Star God Monarch of the Xinghua Palace, but she had never seen it.
"The Qinglong Star Divine Monarch is the senior brother of this monarch, in this world, no one dares to claim the first place if the senior brother's martial arts are the second!" Speaking of the Qinglong Star Divine Monarch, Chen Xunu's face was full of pride and admiration.
"Martial arts are higher than the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance?" Di Rong has only heard that the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance is called Shi Ning, although he grew up with Shi Ning in the Bizi tribe of Wuling Mountain, but he doesn't know that Abaha's Han name is Shi Ning, so he doesn't know that Abaha is the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance.
"What is the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance, the south is a group of Taoist sects that do not enter the stream, this jun's senior brother does not want to be famous, if the senior brother goes out of the mountains to compete with the major factions in the rivers and lakes, the throne of the leader of the martial arts alliance in the world is none other than the senior brother!" Chen Xunu had already heard that in recent years, there was a young man in the southern Jin Kingdom who had martial arts in the world, and she also helped the Jin State defeat the million-strong army of the Northern Qin State, but in her mind, no one could compare to her senior brother.
Before Di Rong could ask, Chen Xunu continued to talk eloquently: "My junior brother has been very good to me since I was a child, and my fate with him is also because of the little turtle ......" Chen Xunu said this, and her self-title changed from "Benjun" to "me".
"What does it have to do with the Turtle?"
"It's been a hundred years of fate......
Chen Xunu reveled in her memories, "I heard my father say that he once went to Yinshan to collect medicine, and found some strange stones beside a big river in the depths of Yinshan, the stone on the north bank of the river resembles a turtle, the stone standing on the south bank of the river looks like a dragon's head, the north bank of the river is like a dragon's body, and the river is like a knife, cutting the dragon into two sections."
The mouth of the stone dragon's head was wide open, and the mouth could be entered by one person, and my father was curious, so he lit a torch and entered the black dragon's mouth, which was about one zhang wide and two zhang deep. After a closer look, I suddenly found that a stone wall in the dragon's mouth was engraved with a line of words, with the words 'Divine Turtle Ji Dragon'"
"Then what does this Divine Turtle Jilong mean?"
"Father looked down again, it turned out that this turtle Jilong told the story of a big turtle saving the dragon, this big river is called the Xuanwu River, the stone carving book said that in the Qin and Han dynasties, the river hidden in the depths of the Yin Mountain originally had no name, but there are often dragons haunted. Qin Shi Huang dreamed that there was a dragon reincarnated in the barbaric land of Beidi, and the next day he instructed the star officials to divination, and found that Yinshan had the spirit of the Son of Heaven, so he sent a large number of troops to search for it in the Yinshan area, and finally found this big river with a dragon on the east side of Yinshan Mountain. ”
"This Jiaolong practiced in the river for thousands of years, absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, and finally reincarnated, was to be reincarnated in the world to be a true dragon son of heaven, but the first emperor's army pressed the border, vowing to destroy the 'demon dragon', in the face of the siege of the army, where the dragon can withstand thousands of troops, at this time it happened that a female python happened to crawl through the nearby mountains and forests, in order to escape, Jiaolong had to hurriedly reincarnate into the belly of the female python. The officers and soldiers saw a golden light enter the belly of the python, so they cut open the belly of the python, and a boy was dug out!"
"You say how wicked that boy is? There are a pair of antlers and python scales all over his body. ”
"Then is this boy a dragon?"
It's just that Jiaolong has taken on a human form for the first time, and he doesn't cry when he is born, and he can babble, but he can't walk or run. The gods came into the world, there must be a catastrophe, so there are nobles to help, the big turtle in the river has also practiced here for a thousand years, but it has not yet reached the time of cultivation and the positive fruit, it and the dragon is a good friend in the river, get along for thousands of years, I heard that the dragon is in trouble, so I came to help.
"At this time, the Qin soldiers surrounded and wanted to kill the true dragon boy, this big turtle is also a thousand-year-old Taoist, and he also has some mana, but these cultivation of the big turtle alone is still no match for the Qin soldiers, so he wants to use the power of the real dragon boy to repel the Qin soldiers. ”
"How to repel it?"
"The big turtle often looks for blades of grass in the mountains to satisfy hunger, so there are many mounds of soil on the mountain that are loosened by the big tortoise, it pushes down the mound with divine power, suppresses some Qin soldiers who rush up, and signals the true dragon boy to use the mound to repel the enemy, the true dragon boy can make the mound fall down with his mind, and originally wanted to "scatter the soil and sink the soldiers", but unexpectedly, the babbling pronunciation is not allowed to say "scattering the soil into a pile" , In an instant, these soils became small hills, failed to bury a Qin soldier, Qin soldiers took the opportunity to rush to kill, the true dragon boy who lost the defense of the mound was stabbed, and could only become a dragon again, just fled to the river bank was shot by the Qin crossbow, fell on the river bank, Qin soldiers surrounded the dragon and cut the dragon into two, the dragon head and the dragon body, respectively placed on the north and south banks of the river, the first emperor expected that the 'demon dragon' had been destroyed, and he was already happy to return to the dynasty. ”
"The dragon was cut in two, I'm afraid it's dead, right?"
"Fortunately, there is a great tortoise, a thousand-year-old good friend, the tortoise in order to save the dragon, on both sides of the river desperately back and forth with the medicine to heal the dragon, as long as the river is filled with herbs, the dragon's head and body can be connected together and slowly come back to life. ”
"Did the big turtle save the dragon in the end?" Di Rong asked with concern.
Chen Xunu paused, and said sadly: "It's a pity that the sky doesn't bless the dragon, that day the sky was stormy, the big river was flooded, the water flow was extremely turbulent, the herbs that the big turtle had worked hard to fill in the big river were washed away by the big water, and the dragon's body was separated and injured too much, and he died before the big turtle was full of herbs." In an instant, the corpse of the dragon turned into a long dragon-shaped mountain, pressing heavily on the bank of the river, with its head facing the river, and its eyes looked at the big turtle carrying the medicine, flashing with blood and tears of anticipation and gratitude. The big turtle also worked tirelessly to heal the dragon's wounds, and finally died of exhaustion in the river, and the dead turtle and the herbs on its back turned into stones and stood in the river. ”
"Jiaolong has friends like a big turtle, no regrets! Then who engraved the words 'Divine Turtle Jilong' in the dragon's mouth later?"
"This father didn't say, probably the father didn't know who it was, only knew that the stone carving called this big river Xuanwu River, and this stone mountain was called Shilong Mountain. Later, after my father saw the stone carvings, he felt thirsty, so he took the cowhide water bag to the Xuanwu River to get water, the river water looks green, but it is blood red when he takes it, if his father does not see the stone carvings in the dragon's mouth, he will be frightened by the blood, he knows that this is the blood flowing from the dragon's wound, and it has not been exhausted for hundreds of years. ”
"Father checked along the Xuanwu River again, but saw a small thing swimming from the big turtle stone, what is it?"
"What is it?"
"It's the little turtle!"
"Ah, it's a turtle! How can it be in the Xuanwu River?"
"It turned out that the turtle slowly turned into stone after death, but the turtle was a female turtle waiting to give birth, and the eggs in the womb did not die with the mother, and soon gave birth to a baby turtle. Before his father discovered the baby turtle, he himself had been living in the Xuanwu River for hundreds of years. ”
"Hundreds of years? It's already an old turtle. ”
"The lifespan of the turtle is thousands of years, and the baby turtle is still a young turtle at its current age!"
