Chapter 8: The Ten Divine Beasts

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound on the other side of the chamber. Lao Wang didn't think about it, rushed to the front, and the tiger and bear also hurriedly followed.

I saw the inner room, Xiao Wang stood there stunned, a colorful Neidan floating strangely in the air, a foot away from his forehead.

"Son, what's wrong?" Lao Wang was concerned about the confusion, and asked first when he came in.

"I don't know, I want to move it, and that's it. Xiao Wang snorted, looking frightened, doing something wrong, waiting for the adult to criticize.

"Oh, didn't you tell you to wait for me to come before sucking this inner pill? Lao Wang's serious attitude was obvious, and he looked a little angry but worried.

"Virtuous nephew, do you think there is anything wrong?" General Yin was quite fond of this child, and asked with concern at this time, which can be regarded as a relief from the siege.

"There's nothing wrong with me, it's just that I seem to have mana, and I can't do anything now. Uncle Tiger, this thing is so weird. I don't want it, you can take it. With that, Xiao Wang walked towards Lao Wang. It seems that he wants to use the usual method to coax his father to dissipate his anger.

At this point, all four were stunned.

This seven-colored bead the size of a ping-pong ball actually followed Xiao Wang, floating on the ground without leaving it, keeping a distance of one foot. It's weird.

A few people stood for a moment, Lao Wang thought for a while, waved his hand first, changed his technique a few times, and finally tried to put away the beads and hold them in his palm.

That Neidan turned out to be spiritual, and wanted to break free several times. But Lao Wang's decades of Taoism are also extraordinary, and the victorious Haidongqing should still be a step behind, not to mention this inner dan.

"This Neidan is a little weird, I'll put it away first and think about it slowly. Son, don't worry, your mana is still shallow, maybe you are temporarily frightened, just rest and rest. "Lao Wang Dao, after all, whether his son has mana or not is not a big deal. These fights and killings, if you don't participate in it, after all, it's a blessing that Seon lost his horse.

"It's okay, you see how different I am from usual, jumping the same high. Xiao Wang seemed to comfort everyone, and also seemed to comfort himself, how high is a foot.

"It's okay. The two tigers and bears also responded one after another.

"Let's discuss the big thing, son, you rest for a while. Wang proposed.

"I don't want to rest, I'd better listen to your stories. Xiao Wang seemed to have palpitations, and he had to follow a few people.

The three of them are not reluctant, after all, it is not a big deal for children to know these things. Back in the hall, several people sat down with solemn expressions.

"Let's see who we can find. Kumayama-kun made the first suggestion.

General Yin said: "I looked for the third child before, but I didn't find it, but he couldn't see the end of the dragon, and when he was definitely needed, he could take the initiative to find us." Leave a mark for the two Hu and Huang brothers, I don't know if they will rush over, or if they will be able to find our mark. It's a pity that the top ten divine beasts that were crisscrossing the white mountains and black waters back then have withered to such a state today. ”

Lao Wang and Xiong Shanjun were both saddened and nodded silently.

"Who are the top ten divine beasts?" Xiao Wang interjected.

"Don't interrupt. Lao Wang reprimanded. And General Yin smiled and patted Xiao Wang's shoulder.

Xiong Shanjun also smiled: "It's been so long since I was a child, and it's really not easy to remember if I don't talk about it today." ”

Xiao Wang's curiosity became stronger, and he begged Xiong Shanjun: "Uncle Xiong, tell me about it." ”

Xiong Shanjun didn't intend to dampen Xiao Wang's curiosity, thought about it, and talked about the past quite leisurely: "A thousand years ago, there were ten great divine beasts in the land of the Northeast, and then there were only five left. ”

Xiao Wang said curiously: "Isn't it the Nine Great Divine Beasts? I have seen such a statement on the Internet. ”

Xiong Shanjun was quite embarrassed, coughed twice, and continued: "There is indeed such a statement, but the news on the Internet is not very reliable now. I thought that there was a group of young people who had achieved great cultivation, their skills should not be underestimated, and they had similar interests, and they had the ambition to protect the water and soil of one party, so they became friends. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his head and asked Xiao Wang, "Who are the nine divine beasts that the virtuous nephew knows?"

Xiao Wang glanced at Lao Wang and found that he had no objection, so he said: "I have seen it on the Internet, there are blind bears, turtle calves, yellow skins, earth leopards, stupid roe deer, donkeys, rabbit cubs, big horse monkeys, and white-eyed wolves. Others say that these are metaphorical. Bear blind refers to a kind of bully; turtle calf is also a king eight calf, similar to Wang Baba, mainly swearing; yellow skin is a monster that can possess people; leopard describes people who have not seen the world; horse monkey is a legendary animal, adults often scare children; silly roe deer: roe deer is very curious, generally describes people as stupid; donkey describes a strong temper, like a donkey; rabbit cub and turtle calf are the main name when scolding; white-eyed wolf describes people's fierce heart, ungrateful. Right, Uncle Xiong?"

Xiong Shanjun laughed and said: "What is this, the current Internet is really not credible." At that time, some people called these young protectors of various ethnic groups the ten sacred beasts, namely tigers, bears, wolves, turtles, roe deer, monkeys, leopards, donkeys, rabbits, and ferrets. To say that our Northeast dialect is absolutely concise, vivid, vivid, and full of rhythm, but it is also inevitably vulgar. Later, gradually everyone had different concepts and different pursuits, and several of them went away from home, and their brothers were separated. ”

General Yin also continued: "When the Jurchens arose, it was with the help of the Haidongqing clan, so Haidongqing was worshiped as a sacred bird by the Jurchens. The reason will not be detailed, some brothers were persuaded to support the Jurchens, some supported the Khitans, and after the battle of Liaojin, there were still frequent wars between Baishan and Heishui. And these brothers also turned against each other on the battlefield and saw each other with swords. Leopards, donkeys, rabbits, monkeys, a few good brothers, just like that, fell. ”

In the reminiscence, General Yin and Xiong Shanjun burst into tears, and the room was quiet for a long time.

Xiao Wang became more curious, endured it for a while, and finally asked again: "Then the blind bear is you, except for the four that Uncle Tiger said, what about the others?"

Lao Wang scolded softly: "How can you speak? No big or small, I don't know how to be polite." ”

Xiao Wang also felt abrupt and reckless, his face flushed, and he whispered, "Uncle Xiong, I'm sorry." ”

Xiong Shanjun smiled: "It's all called that, not to mention tens of millions of people." It's okay. The other two are your third uncle and Huang Wubo. After the ten divine beasts parted ways, the four leopards, donkeys, rabbits and monkeys fell, and the roe deer and wolves went away from the desert. A few of us did not participate in those national-level battles, and continued to wander in the white mountains and black waters, and later Hu Laosi became friends of life and death, which was later the theory of the five divine beasts. ”

"Then who are Uncle Hu and Uncle Huang you are talking about?"
