Chapter 45: The Old Turtle and the Little Turtle
In the vast Tianhe River as far as the eye can see, in a stone hall covered with moss, an old turtle lies in a mess of aquatic plants with its belly facing the sky, motionless. The old turtle's head was shrunk in the turtle shell, but its four feet were sticking out of its body, and it looked very strange. Around the aquatic plants, four turtles with lighter shells lay on the ground, their heads and feet shrunk in their shells, also motionless.
Suddenly, the old turtle stuck his head out of his body, and his two small eyes showed a look of confusion. Immediately, the old turtle shouted, "Quick, quick, turn the ancestor over!"
The four turtles around the aquatic plants stretched their heads and four feet out of their bodies at the same time, and turned into four hunched old men. The four old men stepped forward at the same time, each stretched out their hands, held the turtle shell of the old turtle, and said, "Ancestor, offended!" With that, the four of them flipped their wrists and turned the old turtle over.
After the old turtle turned over, he stretched his neck longer, and the wings of his nose twitched slightly, and said, "Quick! Let the little ones come to me!"
One of the four old men asked, "Dare to ask the ancestor, which young masters will you let come?"
The old turtle let out a breath at the old man who spoke, blew the old man over, and said angrily: "It's all said that it's the little guys, so naturally they're all called! Stupid! Go quickly!"
As soon as the blown over old man rolled on the ground, he turned into a turtle and quickly escaped from the stone hall. Seeing that the other three old men were still standing beside him, the old turtle said angrily, "You guys go too!"
When the three old men heard this, they also hurriedly turned their bodies short, turned into three turtles at the same time, and fled towards the outside of the stone hall.
A moment later, with a crackling sound, hundreds of small turtles fluttered their feet and swarmed in from outside the hall. The old turtle saw the little turtles crackling all the way in, and on the wrinkled turtle face, there was actually a smile on the face.
After a large group of small turtles poured into the stone hall, they each found a place to lie down, and they were all so tired that they were panting, and they shouted in a chaotic manner: "Ancestor!"
The old turtle's eyes immediately narrowed into a slit, and he replied, "Hey!
After that, the old turtle swept his eyes and asked, "Where is Xiao Xuanxuan?"
A large group of small turtles looked left and right, each shaking their heads.
The old turtle roared angrily outside the stone hall: "Someone!
As soon as the old turtle's words fell, a voice of promise sounded outside the stone hall: "It's coming!
As he spoke, the old man who had been blown over by the old turtle walked in with a small turtle in his hand, followed by three other old men. The little turtle in the old man's hand, the head shrunk in the turtle shell, the four feet stretched out of the body, the belly facing the sky, the four upsides, the appearance of the old turtle before.
When the old turtle saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he asked, "Little Xuanxuan, what are you making trouble with?" After that, he said angrily to the old man: "Quickly put Xiao Xuanxuan in front of the ancestor!"
The old man put the little turtle in his hand belly down and put it in front of the old turtle, the little turtle slowly stretched out his head and said slowly: "Old ancestor, Xiao Xuanxuan is taking the old ancestor as an example, and never forget to practice the turtle breath magic skill. ”
The corners of the old turtle's mouth twitched again, and he asked, "Why don't you come over by yourself?"
The little turtle still swallowed slowly, and replied unhurriedly: "Old ancestor, little Xuanxuan is also strictly following the teachings of the old ancestor, braking quietly, and not moving when he can." Besides, where did they come here? They all crawled over. Only Xiao Xuanxuan was held and came the most decently. ”
The old turtle's face suddenly showed an extremely tangled expression, and he gently blew on the little turtle, blew the little turtle behind the other little turtles, and said angrily: "Get out of the back and stay!"
When the little turtle was also on his stomach, the old turtle said, "Good babies, the old ancestor has one thing that he wants one of you to do. Who wants to help their ancestors?"
The little tortoises looked left and right for a while, and they all turned their heads towards the old tortoise, and nodded in unison. Only the little turtle, called Xiao Xuanxuan by the old turtle, was lying on the ground, his head and feet shrunk in the turtle shell, motionless, looking like he was sleeping.
The old turtle looked at the little turtle and asked, "Little Xuanxuan, don't you want to help the old ancestor? You see how loyal your brothers and sisters are to the old ancestor." It's in vain that the old ancestor loves you so much!"
The little turtle slowly stretched out his head again, and said slowly: "Old ancestor, it's not that Xiao Xuanxuan is disloyal to you. You didn't say what it was, how did Xiao Xuanxuan know if it could be done or not? The matter of the ancestor must be an important matter. If we can't do it, won't we delay the great affairs of our ancestors? Brothers and sisters who don't ask anything and agree to come down are irresponsible to our ancestors!"
When the other little turtles heard this, they all turned their heads and glared at the little turtle. Seeing the anger of the people, the little turtle brushed the ground and retracted its head.
The corners of the old turtle's mouth twitched again, and he said to a large group of little turtles: "What the ancestor wants to do, you need to go to the human world. With your ability, you will be able to do it. Is there anyone willing to go?"
A large group of small turtles looked left and right again, turned their heads to the old turtles again, and nodded in unison. Only the little turtle called Xiao Xuanxuan was still motionless.
The old turtle asked: "Little Xuanxuan, the old ancestor has already said that this matter, with your ability, it will definitely be done." Why don't you say anything?"
The little turtle stuck his head out a little, looked at the other little turtles cautiously, and replied, "Ancestor, since it is something that we can all do, and my brothers and sisters want to go, Xiao Xuanxuan still gave this opportunity to my brothers and sisters." ”
After the old turtle's face showed a tangled look again, his eyes rolled and he said: "Whoever does this thing, the ancestor will definitely have a heavy reward." ”
When a large group of little turtles heard the old turtle's words, they all nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice. The little turtle, called Xiao Xuanxuan, stuck its head out a little more, but still didn't nod.
The old turtle rolled his eyes again, and said: "This time the good baby who went to the human world to do business, the old ancestor will give him a piece of the old ancestor's tortoise shell, oh, no, the divine armor ......"
Before the old turtle finished speaking, the little turtle called Xiao Xuanxuan bounced up from the ground, turned into a dark-skinned boy, rushed to the old turtle, hugged the old turtle's neck, and said righteously: "Little Xuanxuan is willing to go to the soup for the old ancestor!"
Hearing this, the faces of the four old men standing around a large group of turtles pulled at the same time. When the other little turtles saw this, they also propped themselves up on the ground at the same time, and turned into a large group of boys and girls, pointing to the boy who was holding the old turtle's neck, and chattering non-stop. Inside the stone hall, there was a commotion.
The old turtle moved slightly, turned into a thin old man, and stood up. It's just that there is still a boy hanging from the old man's neck.
The old man gently slapped the boy's buttocks, and said angrily: "Little Xuanxuan, come down quickly and let go of the old ancestor." ”
The boy said loudly: "Don't let go! Xiao Xuanxuan will do things for the old ancestor, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up! If the old ancestor does not agree, Xiao Xuanxuan will not let go!"
When the other boys and girls saw this, some of them shouted at the boy, while others rushed forward and dragged the boy down.
Seeing the surging emotions of the crowd, the boy shouted: "No one is allowed to move!
When the other boys and girls had stopped, the boy let go of the old man's neck, jumped to the ground, looked at the large group of boys and girls, and said bitterly: "Brothers and sisters, our ancestors have always taught us to respect the old and love the young. Xiao Xuanxuan is willing to share the worries of his ancestors, and he respects the elderly. The elder brothers and sisters gave the opportunity to serve the ancestors to Xiao Xuanxuan, and they loved the young. My brothers and sisters are making such a noise, have they forgotten the teachings of our ancestors?"
Hearing the boy's words, the five old men in the field immediately turned their faces into buns. A large group of boys and girls looked at each other, frowning, discerning the truth in the boy's words.
Seeing that a few of the boys and girls seemed to have come back to their senses and wanted to speak, the boy said loudly: "If the brothers and sisters don't take the words of the ancestors to heart, in the future, Xiao Xuanxuan will become the patriarch, and he can only kill his relatives in righteousness, and punish you for not sleeping for a hundred years and not basking in the sun for a hundred years!"
When a large group of boys and girls heard this, they were immediately shocked, and each of them shook his body, and then turned into a large group of small turtles, and crawled out of the stone hall crackling. The originally noisy stone hall suddenly became empty again, leaving only five old men and a triumphant boy.
Seeing that the other little turtles were scared away, the boy turned around, stretched out his hand to the thin old man, and said with a smile: "Old Ancestor, the Divine Armor can be given to Xiao Xuanxuan, right?"
The thin old man twitched the corners of his mouth, waved his hand at the other four old men, and motioned for them to retreat.
After the four old men withdrew, the thin old man sighed and said, "Xiao Xuanxuan, you ......"
The boy said with a hippie smile: "Ancestor, my brothers and sisters will do it, and Xiao Xuanxuan will do it." The brothers and sisters love Xiao Xuanxuan and are willing to give this opportunity to ......"
The thin old man hurriedly said, "Stop!
When the boy stopped talking, the thin old man said, "Xiao Xuanxuan, if your brothers and sisters go to this matter, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it." Only you can go. ”
When the boy heard this, his eyes widened and he asked, "Ancestor, then what do you ......say?"
The thin old man sighed and said, "Little Xuanxuan, the power of the five elements has reappeared!"
The boy was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Old Ancestor, is it in the human world?"
The thin old man nodded and said, "As soon as the power of the five elements comes out, all the heavens and all the races will be robbed." The person who should be robbed may also be the person who should be lucky. Among the brothers and sisters of your generation, although you are the youngest, you are the most optimistic person of your ancestors. This catastrophe can only be dealt with by you. ”
When the boy heard this, his face also became very serious, and he said, "Old Ancestor, Xiao Xuanxuan understands. Although Xiao Xuanxuan is lazy, but the words of the ancestor, Xiao Xuanxuan has never dared to forget. ”
The thin old man gently stroked the boy's head and said, "Good boy! If it weren't for the fact that my Xuanwu clan was limited by heaven and earth, the old ancestor would not want you to take this risk. ”
The boy said: "Old Ancestor, since the power of the five elements has reappeared, whether Xiao Xuanxuan goes or not, he may face a catastrophe. In this case, it is better for Xiao Xuanxuan to go to the human world, maybe he can fight for a glimmer of life for the old ancestor and my Xuanwu clan. ”
The thin old man nodded with satisfaction and praised again: "Good boy!"
After complimenting, the thin old man said: "Xiao Xuanxuan, the matter of the power of the five elements, the ancestor has already told you many times, and there is nothing more to say." After you go to the human realm, find a few children of the other three clans as soon as possible. In this catastrophe, only if our four divine beasts work together can we survive the catastrophe. ”
The boy let out an "ah" and asked, "Are they going too?"
The thin old man nodded and said, "When the power of the five elements appears, they will definitely go." Moreover, the people they sent must also be the young masters of the clan they are most optimistic about. ”
The boy said with a bitter face: "So, those two girls will also go?"
The thin old man showed a strange smile on his face and said, "Why, with the cleverness of my little Xuanxuan, I would still be afraid of those two girls?"
The boy's face was even more bitter, and he said, "Ancestor, compared to wisdom, Xiao Xuanxuan is completely fine. The problem is, those two girls like to do it!"
The thin old man smiled and said, "There is the divine armor of the old ancestor, are you still afraid of those two girls doing it?"
The boy pulled his face and said, "Old ancestor, Xiao Xuanxuan is a dignified man, you can't always hide in the divine armor and let the two girls punch and kick, right?"
After the thin old man laughed, Zhengse said: "Little Xuanxuan, fight and fight, make trouble." But this time it's about the heavens and all the races, and you must work together with those children. ”
When the boy heard this, he nodded solemnly and said, "Ancestor, rest assured. Xiao Xuanxuan understood. If those two girls really want to bully Xiao Xuanxuan, Xiao Xuanxuan must brake quietly, can't fight back, and can't scold...... Occasionally, I take a sip. ”
The thin old man laughed again and said, "The old ancestor believes that with the wisdom of my family's little Xuanxuan, he will definitely deal with it calmly. However, the Bai family's doll is honest, you can't bully him too hard. ”
The boy smiled and said, "Ancestor, rest assured, Xiao Xuanxuan will respect the elder brothers of the Bai family as much as he respects his brothers and sisters." After that, seeing that the thin old man's face was pulled again, the boy said shyly: "Old ancestor, Xiao Xuanxuan's task this time is not light. Look, don't you give Xiao Xuanxuan a few more magic weapons......"
The thin old man raised his foot, kicked the boy out of the hall, and said, "The heavenly river has opened. Get out of here and go to the human realm!"
