Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The teacher and student were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, and Xiaobai couldn't recognize an exclamation, and the little girl said with a natural face: "Big sister, why are you so surprised? Isn't this a matter of course?"
What should it be, little sister! Shisheng's whole head grew when he heard this, he had never heard of a conch that could actually live in a conch, and it also included a world that could not be seen at a glance.
If they really are in the middle of a conch, then how big does this conch have to be? How can there be such a big world at the bottom of Qishan Lake? This is absolutely impossible.
And the little girl saw that the two of them were speechless because of their surprise, so she said to Xiaobai, "Big sister, how did you come here?"
Xiaobai himself couldn't tell why she came here, and the little girl saw that she wanted to talk and stopped, so she got up and invited the two to his house as guests, because the two had no destination, so they had to respond, and the little girl who called herself 'girl' took the mud pot that she had just thrown away, and led the two to the east.
Talking to the two along the way, the two of them roughly knew the child's life experience. It turned out that this little girl who called herself 'Luomin' was named 'Blue Girl', a peasant girl who was herding fish outside the city, and she came here to collect wild algae for food, and she didn't want to meet Shisheng and Xiaobai who wanted to ask for directions, she saw that Shisheng was dressed strangely, so she was afraid and turned to run away.
But now she is not afraid, the snail people are naturally simple, kind and hospitable, this child feels a little like the nomads in the north outside the Saiwai, her eyes are the same as those people, they are so pure, it seems that there is not a trace of dirt in the world.
The blue girl said that since she had received such a precious gift from the two of them, she should have invited the two of them to her house as guests for dinner. And she was really embarrassed to hear these words in Xiaobai's ears, because what she gave to this blue girl was just a coarse cloth handkerchief with two puppies tattooed on it, which she had embroidered when she was practicing with Shisheng on the mountain.
However, since they were born in snails, there was no sunlight or vegetation on the ground, and the clothes they wore were all sewn from fish skin and intestines.
Shisheng's mood slowly calmed down at this time, and he began to accept the fact that he was in a conch at this time.
It's like a brand new world, everything in this world is against the common sense of the outside world, for example, there seems to be no war here, the snail people live here to respect and love each other, because the ground is full of light moss, so there is no darkness for twelve hours a day, the blue girl's home is moss mixed with a special glue, and it also takes on the shape of a conch, the texture of this house is somewhat like an earthen wall, but it is far stronger than the earthen wall, and there is also moss on it, looking at it from a distance, the whole house is emitting a faint light.
The blue girl enthusiastically led the two into the house, there was no furniture in the house, only a pit, surrounded by fish skin, the blue girl said to the two while boiling water and cooking: "In the past two days, my father and mother have gone to the distance to collect the new season of fish fry, if you have nowhere to go, you can live here first, and you can also tell me about the outside world." ”
Xiaobai couldn't get anywhere, so he went to help the blue girl cook, and it didn't take long for a simple and delicious meal to be ready, two pots of vegetables, one pot is pickled fish soaked in what seasoning, and the other pot is algae stew, which is very beautiful, and the soup stewed with fish bones is bubbling in the mud pot at this time, exuding an attractive aroma. There is also a large basket of black bread that seems to be the main food.
Only then did Shisheng realize that he was hungry, so he was not polite, he grabbed the cake and sent it to his mouth, and when he took a bite, his mouth was full of fresh and fragrant, as if he was eating stacks of seaweed. It turned out that this kind of cake was also made of moss, and the blue girl said a little embarrassed while helping the two of them make soup: "Grandma is not at home, there is nothing to eat, brother and sister don't laugh at me." ”
Shisheng said politely while chewing the cake, Xiaobai was not a picky person, and Shisheng was even more so, for him, as long as he could eat, everything was delicious, so the three of them talked while eating.
After this meal, Shisheng only felt that his worldview had been subverted again.
The blue girl told the two of them in detail about the origin of this place, as I have said before, the place where they are located is in a conch, but the world still did not expect that although the world in this snail is wide, but in the outside world, this conch is not very big, and it is only the size of an adult's fist.
The blue girl said to the two that according to legend, hundreds of years ago, their ancestors also lived in the outside world, and they thrived along the coast, but at that time there seemed to be war in the world, so that the demons were rampant and the people were not able to make a living, and even there were a lot of monsters in the sea, in order to avoid these man-eating monsters, their ancestors had to leave their homes, and many people died on the way to escape the famine.
To say that they have been fools for generations, they have no ability to survive except fishing, and coupled with the persecution of robbers and demons, they will soon face the danger of extinction.
However, at this moment, there were three immortals who appeared to save them, these three immortals were strong and powerful, and saw that they were living in a difficult life, so they helped them eliminate the demons, but even if they were immortals, they could not stop the rampant of this troubled world, and the immortals knew that if they left like this, it would not be long before these fishermen would still not survive, so one of the immortals who followed the monkey took out four conchs, and he said to these fishermen: The outside world is chaotic, and the people's hearts are not ancient, if you want to settle down, then enter this snail to escape the world。
It is said that the immortals at that time had saved many people, and these people, like those fishermen, were some people with simple hearts and could not survive in the troubled times, and the people they rescued lived in the other three conchs, and these fishermen also entered the last conch, and these people were the ancestors of this Eastern Conch Country.
Later, according to legend, the immortal put these four conches in four lakes, the East Luo Kingdom was located in the lake near Qishan, and the other three conch were placed in the Jinghai of the Western Regions (Sailimu Lake in Xinjiang in later generations), the Bohai Sea in Saibei (Jingbo Lake in Saibei in later generations), and the Xihai Sea in Tibet (Qinghai Lake in later generations).
And these four conches are said to be the magic weapons found by the three immortals at that time in response to the troubled times, called 'Conch of the Four Seas'. Although the shape is small, but the snail is another world, there are zài freshwater rivers in this conch, the fish in the river are rich and many are varieties that are not in the outside world, enough for the ancestors of the Dongluo country to reproduce here, and the lakes where these four conch are placed, in the future generations after a thousand years, in addition to the Dongluo country, the other three lakes have more or less appeared in the rumors of water monsters, and whether those water monsters are the strange fish that escaped from the world in this 'conch of the four seas'? Of course, that has nothing to do with this article, and we don't know.
Back to the book, Shisheng listened to the snail blue girl tell him the origin of this world, but he felt that something was wrong in his heart, so he couldn't help but interrupt the blue girl's words and asked: "Wait a little sister, you just said that this conch was given by a god with a monkey hundreds of years ago?"
The blue girl nodded, and then said: "Yes, that's what the gentleman and father and mother in our school told us, although they don't know what the 'monkey' looks like, ah, Brother Shisheng, you are from outside, naturally you have seen monkeys, right?"
The monkey has naturally been seen in the world, but now is not the time to discuss the appearance of the monkey, the more he thinks about it, the more wrong it becomes, so he swallowed and smeared it, and then hurriedly said to the blue girl: "I...... Yes, but didn't your parents tell you the name of that immortal?"
The blue girl smiled, and then said: "Of course I sue sù, everyone in us Luomin knows that his name is 'Youyou Dao Chief', and he is the patron saint of our Eastern Luo Country." ”
Sure enough, Shisheng and Xiaobai glanced at each other, and the 'immortal' who saved their ancestors emotionally was the founder of Doumi Guan, the Hidden Daoist!
This is really surprising, it is said that the secluded Taoist is really a heroic figure, and most of his skills in the world come from the "Transformation of the Golden Pill Sutra" left by his old man. Moreover, he also founded the concept of incarnation and doumi, which indirectly changed the power structure of people in later generations.
However, his life seems to be a mystery, about his life deeds, it is estimated that in addition to the head of the Doumi Guan dynasties, only the old monkey of the 'Crane Dao Chief' knows.
Shisheng and Xiaobai thought of this, and their hearts were even more surprised, after all, they were very familiar with the old monkey, everyone used to say that it had lived for hundreds of years, but they had no concept of this life, until they heard the blue girl tell the legend of their ancestors, Shisheng's heart swelled with inexplicable awe, it turned out that the monkey really lived for such a long time.
Hundreds of years ago, when the ghost Taoist saved the snails, it was represented, and hundreds of years later, the blue girl of the snail's heavy grandson generation can already help the adults work, and the monkey still pulls and climbs the tree when there is, when the legend and reality overlap in the heart of the world, he suddenly felt fear.
Maybe it's the reverence for time.
I really don't know what kind of expression Shisheng would have if she told the blue girl about the unreliable old monkey, but fortunately, Shisheng didn't say it, he was full of emotion at the time, so much so that he forgot to eat half of the cake in his hand.
It turns out that hundreds of years ago there was also a chaotic era similar to the current situation, I heard the master say before, this kind of chaotic times are caused by the operation of the Heavenly Dao, in order to make up for the mistakes, so the Heavenly Dao will drop a few magic weapons to help the world get through the difficulties, if so, then their ancestor Yu Yu Dao Elder is not the cultivator who got the magic weapon at that time?
And this 'conch of the four seas' is the magic weapon they got at that time, isn't it the magic weapon they are looking for this time?
No, when Shisheng thought of this, he immediately denied his own idea, even if this 'Conch of the Four Seas' is a magic weapon to save the world, but this thing is already something that appeared in the last troubled times, and it has already lived in people, how can it be used by them again?
And the name is not right, think about the arm of the Moro monster that recorded the heavenly machine, didn't the name of the magic weapon clearly written 'Qiankun Stone Cliff'?
Thinking of this, Shisheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if he wanted to let him take this conch, he really couldn't do it, after all, if he did this, it would only disturb the peaceful life here, so that the people of Dongluo would have nowhere to live, which was obviously something he couldn't do.
Then he asked, "By the way, let me ask you again, you have lived here for hundreds of years, are we the first to break in?"
The blue girl took a sip of the fish bone soup, and then replied, "No, I heard from the adults that two people came here many years ago, and they are also our heroes." ”
