(15) Double-headed stone turtle

Lone wolves have gone to Dongshan no less than seventeen or eighteen times. However, the beautiful scenery, the strange rocks and the gurgling mountain springs, coupled with the exquisite stone inscriptions scattered in the mountains, can make everyone come and enjoy themselves every time.

At the foot of the mountain, the lone wolf explained to everyone the general destination and course of action for the day. Today's approximate destination is the cave exploration of the mountain behind the east mountain proposed by the doll. As for the route of action, we chose the original old road that everyone prefers - the West Road.

There are three roads up the mountain in Dongshan, which are East Road, Middle Road, and West Road. The east road is a long way, but the scenery on the way is beautiful, and it is easier to walk. It is very suitable for general tourists to choose this route to go up the mountain, which is easy and can enjoy the beautiful natural scenery of Higashiyama. The west road is relatively close, but relatively steep, and the upward journey will be relatively difficult. However, this road is more concentrated in scenic spots, and it is more suitable for tourists to choose as a downward path. Therefore, most tourists will choose to go up from the east road and then go down from the west road.

In addition, there is a primitive old road that has not yet been officially developed, which is the rugged path used by some woodcutters and medicine farmers, and is called the West Road. This road is relatively dangerous, so most tourists don't know about it, and even if they do, they won't choose it. Of course, lone wolves, who are real outdoor people, must be very fond of this almost primitive and slightly exciting route.

The lone wolf gave an order, and everyone began to climb the mountain. In less than an hour and a half, the nine people showed their magical powers one after another and reached the top of Dongshan Mountain-Inserting Heaven Peak. After arriving, everyone took a break and began to prepare for a cave exploration trip in the back mountain. Since it was a cave exploration, everyone unanimously insisted that they would no longer follow the existing obvious mountain path, and everyone decided to reopen a road to the back mountain by themselves. Only in this way can everyone encounter some hidden caves and play more flavorfully. But in order not to damage the natural environment as much as possible, the lone wolf clearly asked the prodigal son and the doll who have always opened the way in front not to use those sharp and destructive sharp weapons as much as possible.

The prodigal son replied loudly to the lone wolf's advice, and while opening the way in front, he muttered to the doll in a strange way: "Alas, the two of us buddies are the most miserable, and I want the horse to run fast and put a fetter on the horse, which is hard." ”

The doll said: "My brother Ah Lang, it's not that we are miserable, who made us have no real ability." Since we don't have great skills, we have to do some hard work. Besides, isn't Brother Maitreya also going to carry luggage for Hou Ye and them in the back, and he is a second senior brother. Don't say anything, our third brother is this suffering fate. Oh my God, this is the naked reality of life, alas......"

Before the words fell, the little Taoist priest hit the prodigal son and the doll's deliberately writhing buttocks with stones from behind, and scolded with a smile: "You two living treasures, you dare to complain there." Whenever you open the way, it's not always you two who are in front of you and do your work, but which time you do it again, you always only care about yourself and ignore the people behind. Besides, Brother Maitreya is carrying more than half of the equipment of the two of you, so I'm embarrassed to say it. ”

The doll turned her face, stretched out her tongue as flexible as a snake at the little Taoist, squeezed her nose and made a grimace, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, my crippled brother, I really can't blame my sister for this, it's not that we don't work hard to take care of the big guy." Look at the other people's brother turtle and the second brother of the real gentleman who is silent when watching chess, they don't talk as much as you. Or you can also get a turtle shell to put on, or learn from our second brother, even the face is invulnerable. ”

After saying this, she jumped in front of the prodigal son, and ran forward, ignoring the messy bushes, for she knew that the dumb man was honest and honest, and that the stinky turtle was not to be messed with.

Everyone was immediately amused by the strange words of the doll, and the big guy laughed and groped forward. It's just that at this time, the two people of Mengshan Turtle and Little Taoist were still looking around carefully, to see if they could be lucky enough to encounter some ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum and He Shou Wu and other fairy grasses. Maitreya, who had been smiling all the time, was slowly gathering those unknown wildflowers at the back, and he didn't know if he was going to weave a colorful straw hat for himself or for whom.

Before you know it, everyone has arrived at an inaccessible barren slope. It is located halfway up the back mountain, and it is a small mountain nest that is high on all sides and slightly lower in the middle.

However, at this moment, the Mengshan turtle suddenly screamed, "Stop, look, what is that." ”

Hearing him so shocked, the prodigal son and the doll thought that the Mengshan turtle was really a blind cat that had encountered some dead mouse and found some rare fairy grass. So, the two jumped over to the ground and reached the place where the Mengshan turtle fingered. The two of them struggled to push away the weeds, which were almost taller than men, and in the depths of the needle-ridden bushes, they faintly saw a small half-cut stone tablet, and there was nothing but this, but it almost scratched the prodigal son's hand.

This can be regarded as making the prodigal son angry, only to see him turn around violently, kick at the ass of the Mengshan turtle, and scolded with a smile: "You dead turtle, what is the fuss about this little broken stone tablet, be careful Brother Lang, I am in a hurry to put it on your turtle's back and let you carry it." ”

Speaking of this, he turned to look at the little Taoist priest again, and said with a smile: "To be honest, it's no wonder that you two brothers have been together for a long time, it turns out that a turtle is a real turtle ......" It's just that before he finished speaking, he was kicked in the head by Xiao Qingfeng behind him.

The doll next to him quickly helped him up, and the two of them hid behind Jingxin, and said with a wicked smile: "I said Brother Lang, you deserve it, and I said that you will provoke our Hou Ye's baby mount if you have something to do." ”

The little eyes rolled, and she said with a smile on her hippie face: "Am I right, my young master of Nangong, are the two of them following Hou Ye and you all day long, hehehehe...... "After speaking, he threw down the prodigal son and fled to the other side.

Just when the prodigal son and the doll were gagging, the lone wolf who came to the stele suddenly said: "Don't make trouble, you guys hurry up and see what the situation is?" Hearing the solemn cry of the lone wolf, the dumb man reached out and snatched the manganese steel machete in the prodigal son's hand, and quickly opened up a narrow passage of more than ten meters, and everyone carefully drilled through.

The lone wolf took the machete in the dumb man's hand, and carefully cleaned the area around the stone monument a little. When they saw the base of this half-section of the stone monument of less than one meter, everyone was really surprised. It turns out that under this half-section of the stone monument, there is not only a turtle seat as the prodigal son said, but what is even more surprising is that the stone turtle below actually has two heads. Seeing this, the prodigal son burst out laughing, and the tears of laughter were about to come out.

He pointed to the Mengshan turtle and the little Taoist priest next to him, leaned back and laughed with a smile: "I said everyone, you see if what I said is right, this base is the combination of the two elder brothers of A Turtle and Tiancripple, but it just retains the turtle body of one of them, hahahahaha......" As soon as the words fell, he screamed and squatted down in pain. It turned out that in this small space, he was lightly hit in the stomach by Mengshan Turtle and Little Taoist at the same time.

Xiao Qingfeng squatted down and carefully looked at this peculiar two-headed turtle seat for a while, then took the wet and dry towels handed over by Jing Xin, and carefully wiped the entire half of the stone tablet. The strange thing is that there is not a single word engraved on the whole stone tablet, only some strange patterns that are damaged, but they are also unrecognizable.

Since the stele didn't have anything of value, he began to wipe down the strange two-headed turtle seat below. People often say that the turtle stele is a stele, but in fact, it is not a tortoise that carries the stele, but a mythical beast in ancient Chinese legends. According to legend, it is the sixth son of the nine sons of the dragon, named Zhen Tuo, also known as Baxia, resembling a turtle, good load, carrying the stone tablet for many years, commonly known as the "Turtle Tablet". Its symbol is based on "longevity and auspiciousness", and has connotations of low rank, totem worship, witchcraft worship, etc.

To be honest, the nine of them are quite knowledgeable. In terms of academic cultivation, Xiao Qingfeng and Jingxin both have a certain cognitive field; the lone wolf and the mute, the Mengshan turtle, and the little Taoist priest are also very experienced and well-informed aliens; even the prodigal son is also a small bag foreman who eats hundreds of meals in society, and the dolls who work in the hospital and the laughing Maitreya who works in the leisure villa are not too closed people. But even a group of people like them, let alone seeing this strange two-headed turtle stele, have never even heard of it.

Xiao Qingfeng squatted there and pondered for a while, as if he remembered something. He first asked everyone to leave a little, and then he stretched out his hands and pressed them on the two heads of the Divine Turtle, slowly secretly using Xuangong, but there was no change.

It turned out that he had seen a saying in an ancient book that there was a strange yin and yang tablet. There will be some kind of peculiar secret mark on its stele, and only those who can read the secret mark can follow the guidance of the secret mark to decipher the hidden words of this yin and yang stele. But it seems that his attempt to use internal force to urge the heads of the two turtles did not work, and he should still not really find the secret mark. Everyone discussed for a while, but no one could explain it. At this time, the prodigal son and the doll took out their cameras and photographed the strange two-headed turtle from multiple angles. I'm going to post it on the Internet after I go back, so that everyone can discuss and analyze it, maybe there are really masters who can crack its secrets.

However, when everyone was about to leave, they said a word quietly, and everyone stopped in place again. Jing Xin said, "How do I feel that this place is surprisingly cool, and how can there not be a single mosquito in this kind of place?" When she said this, everyone immediately reacted.

Yes, it's a sunny day in June, and it's a sheltered nest again, and it's almost eleven o'clock in the morning. Even though this is a back mountain, it is surrounded by shrubs and weeds that are almost taller than a person, so it shouldn't be so cool anyway. In addition, in the back mountain of Higashiyama, there are no famous scenic spots, so it has not been developed much. Every summer, there are a lot of mosquitoes here, and sometimes you even encounter some large snakes. Therefore, few people generally dare to come to the back mountain of Dongshan in the summer, of course, these things are nothing in the eyes of lone wolves. But everyone also made full preparations before departure, and all kinds of mosquito repellent and bite treatment necessities were also brought.

Meditation said this, and everyone felt that it seemed to be like a central air conditioner was installed, and even a little chilly. Not to mention those nasty mosquitoes and flies that follow closely around you, you can't even see half of an ant, grass and insect on the ground, it's really weird here. The doll touched a bush around it with her hand, and even the top of the bush was cold.

Xiao Qingfeng and the lone wolf discussed it, and everyone decided not to leave for now, but to search this strange place. Everyone roughly divided the work, with half of the stone stele as the center, within a radius of more than ten meters, divided into left and right halves. The lone wolf will search the area on the left with the Mengshan Turtle, the Laughing Maitreya, and the Prodigal Son, and the mute will search the area on the right with the little Taoist, Meditation, and the Doll. Anyway, the place is not big, so everyone launched a carpet search to see what strange mysteries exist in this place.

In addition, Xiao Qingfeng walked out and looked around, but found no other tourists nearby. After returning, he flew to the top of the stone cliff on the south side of the stele. He silently examined and calculated the feng shui pattern near the stone monument on it, and carefully observed the weather of the cliff where he was located. After a while, he floated down with a sense of understanding, and came to the strange two-headed turtle again, and crouched there again to carefully examine the heads of the two turtles.

Suddenly, Xiao Qingfeng was surprised to find that the eyes of the two turtle heads were slightly weird, but this weirdness was very subtle. He noticed that the right eye was slightly closed, but the left eye was completely open. The eye of the head on the right is slightly closed on the left, and the right eye is completely open. Seeing this, Xiao Qingfeng's heart moved slightly, and he tried to press two fingers on the right eye of the turtle's head on the left and the left eye of the turtle's head on the right at the same time. I saw him slowly strengthening his internal strength, and suddenly the stone tablet on it shook slightly.

Xiao Qingfeng was overjoyed, and quickly stood up and asked everyone to stop searching. Xiao Qingfeng said solemnly to everyone: "I should have discovered the secret mark of this Yin Yang Monument, but I don't know what will happen next now, but I am indeed unwilling to give up." Therefore, now, except for the meditation meditation among us, who has the best light body kung fu to stay and sweep the formation for me, everyone else has temporarily withdrawn from this place first. In addition, the two of you must be ready to support us at any time, and as for other peripheral matters, you will leave it to Brother Wolf, and you must not let other tourists approach our area. ”

Seeing that Xiao Qingfeng said so seriously, no one said anything more, and hurriedly left. The rest of the meditation also changed the image of the white-clothed saint in the past, and more than ten large silver needles were secretly clasped in both hands, and she stood three meters away from Xiao Qingfeng. I saw Xiao Qingfeng in front of the two-headed turtle, the dark luck true qi breathed calmly, and after three small weeks of running, he squatted down slightly. Press both fingers at the same time in the position you just now, and start to slowly push the internal energy.

In the anxious anticipation of everyone, the half-section of the stele suddenly made a muffled sound, and the stele cracked a vertical line in the middle. Xiao Qingfeng slowly pushed the internal strength again, and the cracks became bigger and bigger, and the stone tablet was divided into two from the irregular middle to the middle. When you look down, the two-headed turtle below is also divided into two halves, becoming a turtle with its head connected to half of the turtle's body, and half of the turtle carrying half of the stone tablet on each body.

With a crisp "click", the separated halves stopped moving in both directions. At this moment, something even stranger happened, and at the original location of the two-headed turtle, a cylindrical deep shaft suddenly appeared out of thin air. Suddenly, Xiao Qingfeng on the side and Jing Xin not far away felt that a piercing cold air burst out from inside, and Xiao Qingfeng hurriedly flew together with Jing Xin and fell to a relatively safe place on the periphery.
