In the dim mountain forest, Yang Lin frowned as he retreated and looked at the appearance of the water beast that had come ashore, and it took him a long time to see that it was a big turtle. The head was two feet in size, and the tail was the head of the snake that had just surfaced.

After estimating, looking at the size of the turtle and the vicious appearance of the snake's head on the tail, it is estimated that there is no chance of winning.

However, looking at the pace of this turtle, it seems that he is heavy and stupid, and the speed must not be very fast, thinking of this, Yang Lin took a few steps back, turned around and ran down the mountain.

The figure had just run three or five steps, and suddenly heard the giant turtle behind him suddenly speak: "This little friend, take a step slowly, I have met you secretly a few times, and it is also fateful, I don't know if I can leave a talk?"

Yang Lin didn't seem to have any malice when he heard Cai Turtle's words, his body stopped for a moment, and he slowly turned his head and looked at the old turtle. I saw the old turtle walking under the green fruit tree quite old, climbing on the boulder, sniffing the fruit with his nose, and staring at the fruit with his eyes, as if looking at some treasure, a picture of intoxication.

Seeing that Yang Lin didn't run again, the giant turtle didn't turn around, turned his back to Yang Lin and said, "This little friend is a member of the village under the mountain?"

What kind of fruit is on the tree, it can make the old turtle so intoxicated, curiosity sparked, Yang Lin slowly walked to the giant turtle about three or four steps, and looked at it carefully. Seeing that the back of this giant turtle was covered with spikes, the legs and feet were covered with long hairs to cover the giant claws, and the snake head on the tail kept spitting snake letters at Yang Lin, and he felt faintly uncomfortable.

Just seeing the giant turtle in the old body, Yang Lin couldn't help but want to see it more clearly, the boldness of the surname drove Yang Lin to slide sideways, and then slowly turned to the front of the giant turtle, looking at the old turtle still looking at the green fruit on the tree, without the slightest intention of watching Yang Lin, and replied with a little relief.

"I'm from Yamashita Village, what kind of beast are you, you look like a turtle that has only become a spirit? How old are you? Since you can speak, why didn't you appear here before?"

The giant tortoise raised his head, looked at the night sky and sighed: "My name is Xuanye, I belong to the Xuanwu clan, I can't remember how old I am, and I have lived here for almost two hundred years.

Originally, I didn't want to meet you, for fear of frightening you, but when I came ashore to see, there was a lot less fruit on this tree, and I thought someone had eaten it.

Now I saw that you had come to eat the fruit of this fruit tree, and to drain the impure things into the waterhole, and I could not help but come out to meet you, and make clear to you, so that I would not do this impropriety again. ”

When Yang Lin heard this, he jumped on the boulder, pointed to the fruit on the tree and said, "I stole the fruit to eat, did you plant this tree?" Obviously, there is, I just ate a few fruits, so you don't have to make such a fuss." But it's really my fault to discharge that filth into the pool, I hope you don't be surprised!"

The giant turtle Xuanye shook his head, looked at Yang Lin and said, "Seeing that you are young, you also have some courage. A few years ago, someone went up the mountain to cut firewood and wanted to cut down this fruit tree, but I was frightened and immediately fainted, and I threw it into the water to feed those cold carp. I see you bold today, maybe you will do something in the future. ”

Coughing lightly twice, the old turtle continued: "It is true that this tree grows naturally in this mountain, but if this tree is not watered by me with the essence blood of the beasts in this mountain, let alone that it can bear this fruit today, even if it is another hundred years, it may not be able to bear fruit." Speaking of this fruit, do you know what it is, and what is the use?"

Seeing Yang Lin's stunned look, the old turtle shook his head and continued: "This tree is called Chiyang Tree, and the fruit is Chiyang Fruit. After eating, this seed fruit is quite good for the body and spiritual sense.

It's just that you have eaten so many unripe green fruits, which is a pity, so I showed up to meet you and persuade you not to spoil this treasure again. After this fruit is ripe, if you eat this red yang fruit by mistake, I am afraid that it will harm your surname. ”

Yang Lin listened to what the old turtle said, and he was a little embarrassed, and said: "I'm really sorry, I don't know that this fruit hasn't grown, but I feel that my body is a lot lighter after eating, and I want to eat some more today."

There are still a few green fruits in this fruit, I wonder if this fruit can be ripened again? Or it would be a bit of a waste. ”

The old turtle looked at the dozen or so green fruits in the tree, and felt a pain in his flesh, and wanted to step forward and swallow the young man in one bite, but it can be seen that his face was full of apologies at this time, and the Chiyang fruit was also picked and eaten, and there was nothing he could do. Looking at his blessed face, ruddy complexion, and excellent bones, he may be the person in the hexagram.

sighed and said, "Forget it, this is also a catastrophe for this tree, and today's thing can be regarded as a good fate for you and me!"

Yang Lin scratched his head with his hand, and said with a smile: "Hey, by the way, what kind of fruit is this, when will it be considered ripe, why do I, a mortal, die if I eat it, I have eaten ten or eight of these green fruits, except for a few trips to the thatched house, there is no harm in it, and the body is much stronger." ”

Xuanye saw that he was still not dead set on Chiyang Fruit, and he had just reminded him that eating ripe fruit would hurt his body, but he unconsciously wanted to eat it again, and he was suddenly a little annoyed.

But as soon as he thought about how he could see a divine beast like this mortal, the anger in his heart slowly put down. Thinking about it, this red yang fruit is only for the purpose of consolidating the foundation and purifying the evil, and it is not indispensable.

Xuanye looked down at Yang Lin for a while, and a giant claw suddenly lifted up, slowly touching the backbone of Yang Lin's back.

Yang Lin only felt that the old turtle was full of anger, and suddenly disappeared, and at this time, he grabbed the giant claw towards him, and slashed backwards, slashing at the giant claw with the short knife in his hand.

The short knife knife on the giant claw of the old turtle probed, like a gold and stone collision, rattling, scraping out a flint flower, Yang Lin only felt as if it was split on the stone, the shock was so painful, his heart was shocked, he hurriedly took a few steps back, moved his right hand to hold the knife, and looked at the old turtle angrily.

When the old turtle saw it at night, he didn't feel funny in his heart, and he wanted to touch the young man's bones to see if he had the fate to teach him some Taoism, and to see if it matched the person in the hexagram. But he didn't want to, he also slashed himself with a knife.

Thinking about the strength of his physical body, it is difficult for any cultivator in this mountain to hurt himself, no matter how strong his physical strength is, this mortal is also a mortal, how can he compare with me.

However, this young man is a little bold, so he might as well teach him a few tricks, and maybe he can get a good fortune in the future. said: "Xiaoyou, don't be afraid, I just want to see if Xiaoyou's roots can learn spells and become a person who cultivates the truth, and he said that he can also go up the mountain to talk to me about the old days if he has nothing to do, so as to relieve his boredom." ”

Listening to the old turtle's slightly kind words, Yang Lin's face relaxed a little, but the short knife in his hand was held tighter, thinking about it in his heart, this old turtle takes this fruit very seriously, and he has eaten a lot, even if he doesn't eat this ripe fruit, he won't be able to fight behind the old turtle's back, but he can't beat him at this time, and he will not even be able to eat any yang fruit when he is gone.

"Haha, it seems that I misunderstood, it's rare that you can always look at me, but I don't have much interest in spells, so I don't want to learn them. This fruit is also your old hard work to maintain to this day, I have eaten a lot of already feel sorry, this ripe fruit will not eat, I will go down the mountain, he said nothing I will come to visit you again. ”

Returning the salute to the old turtle with a smile, Yang Lin slowly picked up the vine and walked back down the mountain.

Old Turtle Xuanye saw Yang Lin walking down the mountain, thinking that he was shocked by his actions just now, and couldn't help but feel funny, if he wanted to keep him, where could he go.

With a low roar, the old turtle said with a slight sigh: "Little friend, don't be in a hurry to go down the mountain, it is also fate to meet you today, I have a piece of cold iron essence here, and I will give it to you." I see that you also have some skills in building your short knife, and if you turn around and refine this cold iron essence and your short knife, you will definitely be able to make a good weapon, and it will be good to make a name for yourself in the mortal world.

Hearing that there was still a cold iron essence to send, Yang Lin couldn't help but stop, he had heard his father mention that the iron and steel mother was extremely difficult to find, and if it had to be melted into the sword, its sharpness would definitely increase a lot.

Yang Lin couldn't help but look at the old turtle carefully, and wondered in his heart, could this old turtle really want to teach himself spells and give himself things. Beasts that can swallow people's words must also have some spells, and they may not be able to run down the mountain this time, so let's take a look first and wait for the opportunity to go.

Seeing that Yang Lin was no longer walking down the mountain, Xuanye nodded, leaned out his left front paw and put it into the turtle shell at the back of his neck, touched it for a long time, and found a black piece of something and handed it to Yang Lin.

Yang Lin saw that the old turtle really took out a piece of black iron, and there was a faint hint of cold air on it, and there was only a trace of curiosity in his heart, and he said to the old turtle: "Your thing seems to be a little heavy, you put it on the stone first, and I will take it myself, don't accidentally lose your hand again and hurt your hands and feet." ”

Seeing that he was still worried, the old turtle did not embarrass him, and said, "I will put this iron here first, and you can come and see if it is true or false." This tree should be ripe if it is watered with blood again, so you might as well wait a little longer and see it. ”

When Yang Lin heard this, he jumped out of the distance in fright, stared at the old turtle, and said: "You don't always want to use my essence blood, I haven't practiced any Taoism, and I don't think it will be very effective, you should always find some old goblin blood, and then you can ripen this fruit." ”

When Xuanye heard this, he really shook his head, and put the cold iron essence on the stone not far in front of him. said: "Xiaoyou is also more careful, it was really an unintentional move just now, which makes you feel at ease." So wait a moment, and I will pour it under the tree, and I will see. Just don't be greedy, if you really eat this red yang fruit, I'm afraid that you will die violently. ”

After Xuanye finished speaking, he ignored Yang Lin again, slowly stretched his stout right claw into the back of his neck with the seemingly extremely stupid movements, felt out a jade bottle, opened the jade seal at the mouth of the bottle, and suddenly a stream of blood rushed out.

Yang Lin covered his nose with his hand and asked, "What kind of demon beast's essence blood is this, so strong." ”

Ye whispered: "This is the essence blood of a snake demon in the Qingyin Cave on the west side of this East Corner Mountain, I prepared it a few days ago, and I will use it tonight." ”

The words were closed, and the mouth of the jade bottle was poured towards the root of the Chiyang tree, only to see that the essence blood was instantly inhaled by the root of the Chiyang tree like a silk mist, and the bloody breath was fleeting.

Yang Lin took a few steps forward curiously, and then looked at the red sun tree after absorbing the essence blood, the green fruit on the tree had gradually turned from green to red, and the fruit gradually glowed with a trace of red light, which was wonderful.

Yang Lin looked up at Xuanye and asked, "Is this ripe?"

Xuanye looked at it for a while and shook his head, "Wait a little longer, wait for the red light to slowly gather at the bottom of the fruit and form a sun-shape, and then it will be really ripe."

After Yang Lin heard this, he saw that the red light on the fruit was flickering and dimming, and it was difficult to condense for a while, and when he looked up and saw Xuanye staring at the fruit in his eyes, he walked lightly to Xuanye's feet and picked up the fist-sized piece of iron to look at it.

As soon as the starting point sank, Yang Lin hurriedly held it with both hands, only feeling that the iron was cold, and with this effort, he felt that his arms were cold, and his hands were a little numb, and he hurriedly put the cold iron essence on the ground. Thinking that this is really a good baby, I just don't know if my father can melt me into this short knife when I go back.
