Soon, the line reacted. Mona immediately lifted the rod and saw that there was nothing on the hook and that the bait had been stolen, and concluded that there must be a living creature underneath. Li Xiaoxiao said behind him: "I didn't expect Li Meijiao to be very smart, and there is really a mystery underwater." ”

When Damuti heard Li Xiaoxiao's praise for Li Meijiao, the sea of vinegar turned over and said on the side: "Yes! Li Meijiao is not only smart, but also capable, and the important thing is that she is also very beautiful, isn't it?"

Li Xiaoxiao knew her princess's temper well, and in order to avoid quarrels, she could only say in a smooth tone: "She is very beautiful, but she is not as beautiful as my Titi." ”

The conversation between the two made Xingyun on the side laugh for a while.

Suddenly, Mona slammed her force, and the hook seemed to be bitten by something, and the line was instantly straightened, and it kept scurrying in the blue whirlpool. With a jerk of her hand, she pulled a snake-headed monster out of the water, spinning as the whirlpool swirled.

Li Xiaoxiao saw that the fishing rod had been bent into an arc, and the snake head seemed to weigh 100 catties, afraid that the fishing rod would be broken by gravity, so he hurriedly jumped out and grabbed the snake head, lifted the living creature out of the water, and fell to the ground. The corpse insects retreated en masse, moving some distance away, as if they were terrified of it.

At this time, everyone saw that it was not a snake, but a spirit turtle shrunk in its shell. Li Xiaoxiao overturned the spirit turtle with a thunderbolt stick, looked at it for a while, and said in disappointment: "Alas, I should be a rare thing, it turns out that I am just a king, which makes me nervous for a while. ”

Nebula said, "-No! this is not a turtle!"

Damuti was surprised and asked, "Ah?—— isn't this a turtle, what is it?"

Mo Na said: "The eldest sister is right! This is really not a turtle, but Xuan Ming!"

"-Xuanming?What is Xuanming?" Damuti was born in the Western Regions, so he didn't know anything about the legends of the Central Plains, and it was normal to have this question. But Li Xiaoxiao was different, he heard that this was Xuanming, and with a surprised face, he stared at the turtle shell again and asked, "Xuanming? Isn't Xuanming Xuanwu?"

Xingyun said: "That's right! This is the legendary Zhenbei Divine Beast - Xuanwu, also known as Beigong Xuanming. It is the god of water among the four elephants. ”

"Oh, no wonder it's making waves under the blue water, so it's true that the Four Elephants are true, but why is it on top of the ancient tomb of Jiubao Tai Sui?" asked Li Xiaoxiao.

"I don't think it's on the ancient tomb of Jiubao Tai Sui, but Jiu Bao Tai Sui deliberately chose to build a tomb here. Nebula guessed.

Mo Na was inspired by the nebula: "In that case, this mountain is a treasure of feng shui. Jiubao Tai Sui chose a place blessed by the gods of the four directions for burial. Based on this, there may be other mythical beasts here. Could the method of entering the ancient tomb have something to do with these four elephant beasts?"

As soon as the words fell, three whistles suddenly sounded from above. The four of them hurriedly realized: "Oh no, the heads are here again—— smile, you quickly close the lid." Nebula commanded.

When Li Xiaoxiao heard this, he immediately lifted the lid from the ground, put it back on top of Fuding, and picked up the huge Xuanwu on the ground and flew out of the pagoda. As soon as the sisters saw that the four of them had come out safely, they immediately summoned the dragoons and flew down the Dayang Ring Mountain.

In the tent, everyone stared at the head of the Xuanming in the cage, only to see that it had auspicious clouds surging on its back, snake scales on its head, four claws like hooks, tail fins like fans, eyes like soap jade, and dark green all over its body. But what puzzled everyone was how this thing had to do with the tomb of Jiubao Tai Sui.

Li Meijiao is a mortal, but it is not as complicated as everyone thinks. Because she doesn't care about the tomb, all she can do is help everyone cook meals and do some chores. Seeing this living thing, he said worriedly: "This thing is so rare, will it starve to death if it is trapped in a cage?" Although I can cook, but I don't know how to raise it, what should I feed it?"

Xian'er said: "Oh, just feed some grains casually! I see that people raise carrier pigeons, and they all feed some grains." ”

Lu Feiyan smiled and said, "Xian'er, you haven't lived a farmer's life when you see you." This Xuanwu is a sacred object, not a chicken, duck or goose, and can be fed with anything. I think Meijiao is right, special circumstances require special treatment, since he is not ordinary, of course he has to spend some effort to take care of it. It's better to separate the meat and vegetables and see if it prefers meat or vegetables. ”

According to Lu Feiyan's wishes, Li Meijiao went out and carefully prepared four types of meals: fresh venison with salt and flavor, fine eggs with sugar and pulp, freshly killed sea bass with cooking wine to remove the smell, and refreshing cucumber mixed with sauce. Although they are all raw, they have been carefully processed by Li Meijiao, and the color and fragrance are excellent.

She brought the four dishes to Xuanwu. Xuanwu turned his head slowly, blinked his green eyes, and the pinhole-like nasal sockets sometimes swelled and sometimes contracted, as if he was smelling the smell of fresh food. Eventually, with its careful choice, it twisted its head onto the venison.

Everyone finally decided on its preferences, so they all gave Li Meijiao a thumbs up and smiled happily. That night, everyone was so tired that they fell asleep. Li Meijiao and Mu Tong are still staying up late to make tomorrow morning's meal, and the meals of thousands of people make them stay up all night and have no time to warm up.

Li Meijiao finished washing the vegetables and carried the wooden barrel into the tent. He put the cut fresh meat in front of Xuanwu and gave it supper. For fear that if I don't take care of it, I will starve everyone's hard-earned 'clues'. She saw that Xuanwu was eating with relish, and showed a quiet smile.

She has been coming to Sanshanmen for more than half a month, and during this time, she has not only become a good sister with Mu Tong who talks about everything, but also made friends with Mu Qiuyang and Lu Shaoan, two shrewd and capable confidants. Especially Lu Shaoan, who takes good care of himself, he is like a familiar person, and he always cares about the warmth and coldness of his heart with his meticulousness. This is completely different from her life when she was a human being in the Zunwu Sect. There are strict rules, everyone is not smiling, and life is boring. And everyone here is very honest and the atmosphere is very harmonious, so that you don't have to worry about it all day. Even though I was a little tired, I still felt that everything was worth it.

She thought as she worked, when suddenly a bright light appeared in the afterglow. She turned her head abruptly to the Xuanwu, her expression changing from surprise to solemnity. At the same time as his pupils dilated, the wooden barrel in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously. She was startled by the sound of the barrel falling, and immediately ran to Xuanwu's cage, Fang Liang's eyes looked at the Xuanwu in surprise.

I saw that a neat crack appeared on Xuanwu's back, and pieces of cracked carapace spread out clockwise, like flower buds, petals overlapped and bloomed, revealing a bowl-shaped container inside, and a blue glittering pearl appeared in the middle of the container. She was shocked by this strange thing, and hurriedly turned around and ran out of the tent: "Tong'er, Tong'er......?"

When Mu Tong heard this, he hurriedly walked over with a basin: "Sister Jiao, what's wrong?"

"Hurry up, sister, hurry up and find Shao'an and them, there's a situation inside!" Li Meijiao looked anxious, because she didn't know how long that thing would last. Besides, this matter may be very important to everyone, and there is no room for any mistakes.

Mu Tong understood her urgency from her expression, so he hurriedly threw away the basin in his hand, turned around and ran to Xian'er's camp: "Master, Master, wake up, wake up!"

She was just about to enter the tent, when Xingyun suddenly walked out of the tent and pressed her index finger on her red lips to warn Mu Tong: "Shhh—— don't make noise! Your master has already gone to sleep, everyone is too tired during the day, and it is hard to fall asleep at this time, don't wake them up." Boy, what is it that makes you panic?"

"Sister Xingyun, Sister Jiaojiao asked me to come to you quickly, saying that Xuanwu has a situation!"

When Xingyun heard this, he didn't have time to ask more, so he ran in the direction where Li Meijiao was. Seeing Li Meijiao waiting anxiously outside the tent, Xingyun asked, "Meijiao, what happened?"

Li Meijiao didn't say a word, grabbed Xingyun's arm and led her into the camp, stretching out her hand to .......

Nebula was dumbfounded: "What is this?"

"I don't know! I was afraid that it would be hungry when I was washing the vegetables, so I put the cut food in front of it. After a while, its turtle shell opened, and this thing appeared. ”

Nebula cautiously reached over, just about to pick up the blue orb from the turtle's back. Suddenly, there was a 'ping' sound, and the tortoise shell was like a circle of blades, instantly locked, and Xingyun's hand was stuck inside. Fortunately, Nebula had a Heart Piercing Armor Protector, and the Star Diamond gathered in his hand and was not cut off by the sharp tortoise shell.

She hurriedly pulled out her hand, and she was scared into a cold sweat: "It's just dangerous, fortunately it's me, if it were someone else, maybe my hand would have been cut off." ”

"What should I do, the turtle shell is closed, it doesn't seem to trust us anymore!" Li Meijiao worried.

This unintentional sentence immediately made Xingyun suddenly realize: "'Trust'?—— I know! Meijiao, you reminded me again!"

Li Meijiao didn't know which sentence she said made her feel enlightened, and asked with an ignorant face: "Sister Yun, what did you think of?"

"The 'trust' you just said reminds me. Today it has been you who have been taking care of it and also hand-feeding it. Not only does it quench its hunger, but it also gains its trust in you. So it's just repaying the favor!"

"- Repay the favor?" so to speak...... If I had taken the bead just now, it might not have locked up the shell?"

"I think so—— but that's just my guess. You must not take any chances. Its back armor is hard and sharp. If you are not completely sure, you should not try it in vain. We don't know if that thing will be useful to us, and it's really not worth cutting off your hands and fingers for a bead!"

Mu Tong also persuaded him: "Yes, let's observe and observe." ”

As soon as Li Meijiao heard this, she had a better impression of the people of Sanshanmen in her heart. Here, no matter how big or small, no matter how high or small, no matter how high or low, everyone is equal. Everyone is very friendly and affectionate. So, I have already made up my mind .......

Xingyun and Li Meijiao waited in the camp tent for a while, but saw that Xuanwu's back armor had never been turned on again. Inevitably, he was a little disappointed, and the tired Baili Xingyun finally failed to compete with his physical strength, yawned goodbye to Li Meijiao, and went back to sleep in the tent.

Mu Tong also went out to set up a stove and began to wash rice, preparing to cook porridge for his disciples. Li Meijiao was alone in the camp and struggled with herself: "Xingyun and Mu Tong are right, I can't take risks easily. It's good to be able to help everyone get that bead, but if I hurt myself, I'll be able to explain it for the rest of my life!'

She took a few more pieces of meat, fed Xuanwu while holding her cheeks, and said to Xuanwu: "Xuanwu, Xuanwu, how good would it be if you could speak? Then I will know whether I should take the pearl or not." I don't want to hurt you, and I don't want you to hurt me. If you are really grateful, please tell me what I should do? Sister Xingyun and Shao'an are both good people, and I really want to help them, but I am just a maid, and I am useless except to help them cook. Hey, after living for so many years, I know how wonderful it is to have friends!"

Suddenly, a miracle happened again......
