Chapter Ninety-Six: Water Elephant Formation

"Yes, there are a total of five types of water sign formations, fire formation and other three formations, they are the golden piercing formation, the wood formation, and the earthy formation. In our chef's ingredient cultivation, the ingredients cultivated with these five formations are the most precious, this mouse is cultivated by the fire walking formation, and the turtle is cultivated by the water sign formation, so they will restrain each other. Now their performance is to be born together, and it can be seen that this water sign formation and fire formation should be arranged by one person, only in this way can the ingredients be well matched together, and the most beautiful dishes can be cooked. Du Danian watched the two animals talk to everyone with interest, he raised his arm, picked up a grilled fish and put it in the mouths of the two animals, and the two little ones began to eat unceremoniously, like two good friends. The four of them were covered by clouds and mountains and fog, Xiao Ruoshui began to think about something, he crossed his arms with his arms, and kept stroking his chin with one hand, looking at the two animals.

"You haven't explained this clearly, Lao Du will be more clear. Lao Liu shouted that he really couldn't understand this. Du Danian sighed and said: "Let me give you the simplest analogy, do you know the most precious medicinal material in the Dao, ginseng snow lotus, ginseng grows between the black water and white mountains in the northeast, it is the most yang qi medicine, and the snow lotus grows between the snow lines in the northwest high mountains is the most yin-nourishing medicine, I ask you what is the most important thing that grows in the cold land in the snow, and the medicinal properties will be so different?" Du Daliang continued to look at the two small animals and said. He asked Lao Liu Dao rhetorically.

"I don't know the way, do you know the way?" said to Lao Liu unconvinced.

"I really know it. The northwest is a dry and bitter cold place, and the northeast is a wet and bitter cold place, so the medicinal properties are completely different, that is, it has a lot to do with the environment, in fact, this environment is what we call a big formation, our chefs generally look for ingredients in the natural formation, and sometimes artificially change the environment to get the ingredients we want, these two little guys are obviously affected by artificially modified formations, and the extreme yin and yang are therefore reluctant to separate. Therefore, the environment generally produces relative medicinal properties, but these two animals are not opposite to the environment but grow with the environment. That's definitely the result of a forced change by man. Du Danian reached out and touched the tortoise and the fire spirit mouse. And then say it with confidence. He looked at Lao Liu with wide eyes and looked at him in surprise, and he proudly demonstrated at Lao Liu, looking forward to Lao Liu's admiration. Lao Liu said for a long time: "You chefs are so unconscionable, you actually change the natural laws of living things in order to eat artificially." It's cruel. Don't talk about knowing me in the future. lest you ruin my reputation. From time to time, he looked at Du Danian with disdain. While sitting down and eating grilled fish, he ignored Du Danian, looking very ashamed of being Du Danian's friend. Du Danian's face was angry and iron-blue. Reached out to grab Lao Liu's grilled fish, and said loudly: "It's not my friend, don't eat my grilled fish." Lao Du leaned back to avoid Du Danian's snatch, he stepped back a few steps, dodged Du Danian's attack range, took a big bite, and looked at Du Danian provocatively, Du Danian jumped over the table and rushed towards Lao Liu, Lao Liu dodged left and right, and the two of them fought for many rounds in an instant. Gu Lisha's eyes widened as she watched the two of them, this kind of subtle trick is rare in the Turks, and now the two of them are unleashed, and they are very good-looking.

Xiao Ruoshui and Wang Shan sat down, ignoring the two people's tricks, they looked at the water turtle and the fire spirit mouse, still eating the grilled fish, as if they had not been idle.

"This water tortoise must have come out of this castle somewhere, because we didn't go far, just near the lake, and it should have crawled from not far away, and if it was too far away, it couldn't feel the smell of the fire spirit rat. Wang Shan looked at the two little guys who were still eating grilled fish, and analyzed with his chin in his hands.

"The place where this water turtle lives should be in the water sign formation, what role does this formation play in this castle?" Xiao Ruoshui looked at the two little guys and asked himself suspiciously.

"Let's go see what's going on there, and start looking at the place that bit me. You can always find a clue, there should be a clue. Wang Shan looked at the place where he was bitten just now, got up and walked there, Xiao Ruoshui also stood up and walked over.

Gu Lisha looked at the two of them and hurriedly shouted, "You two don't fight, watch the little guy, let's go to the lake." After she finished speaking, she hurriedly followed the two of them, and her face seemed to be very anxious. The two of them immediately stopped fighting when they heard Gu Lisha's shout, and they slowly walked up to the two little ones, teasing the two little things from time to time. The fire spirit rat grinned in protest, and the water turtle opened its mouth from time to time as if it was about to bite, making the two of them laugh.

"This turtle must have crawled from here, seeing that there are water stains here, and there are traces of damp paws moving on the ground, we should be able to find the turtle crawling out of there if we follow the traces of this water stain. Wang Shan squatted on the ground and touched the water stains on the grass mountain and the paw prints of the turtle on the land with his hand, put it on the side of his nose and sniffed it. Then he stood up and followed the trails.

"Brother Xiao, what are you doing looking for this turtle's place to live, is it any use?" Gu Lisha watched Wang Shan follow the traces of the turtle's crawling, and she pulled Xiao Ruoshui's hand and asked Xiao Ruoshui secretly.

"The arrangement of the water sign formation must be done by a master, if we find the location of this formation, it is very likely that it is the location of the treasure, and we suspect that this formation is designed to protect the treasure, so if we want to find it, we may find the location of the treasure. Of course, this is only a hypothesis, but if we want to rule it out, we need to investigate it on the ground. See how many secrets remain in this castle. Xiao Ruoshui looked at the Dawang Mountain walking in front of him, and said firmly to Gu Lisha, he put his hands behind his back, his eyes were resolute and persistent, as if he wanted to explore the secrets of this castle at one time.

"Did we say from time to time that we should start the search in the Khan's room? just start there, I think we'll be able to find clues from there. It doesn't seem like it's very important for this turtle to live there. Don't forget, your lady is still in Liu Shen's hands. Gu Lisha whispered to Xiao Ruoshui, she didn't want Wang Shan to hear it, so she said it very quietly.

"Believe in Brother Wang, he won't let us take a detour, Li Yunmeng was robbed and he was more anxious than anyone else, but we still don't have a celestial star compass and map, we must find it, Brother Wang is telling us that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, to find the right way, you can reduce the time to take detours, we have to believe Brother Wang. Xiao Ruoshui said patiently to Gu Lisha, with a smile on his face, as if he trusted Wang Shan's actions very much.

"No, the turtle swam out of the water here, and climbed ashore to chase us, only to step on it on our way back. Wang Shan looked at the slightly rippling lake, carefully observed under the lake, but seemed to see nothing, the clear lake water is bottomless, it seems that there is some secret hidden in it? Wang Shan looked at the lake, the lake surface was slightly rippling, the breeze blew, the lake surface rippled slightly, there were few waterfowl on the water surface, and they all returned to the south, but the withered yellow reeds swayed on the water surface, and seemed to dance briskly with the help of the breeze. Wang Shan picked up a long reed and poked it under the water, took it out from time to time to look at it, he poked it a few times and then threw it back into the lake, turned to the two people and said, "Let's go, eat grilled fish, Du Danian's grilled fish is a must, we haven't eaten it yet." With that, he walked towards the place where Du Danian was grilling fish with his hands behind his back. Gu Lisha looked at Xiao Ruoshui with a puzzled face, Xiao Ruoshui avoided her gaze and said, "Let's eat grilled fish, grilled fish is delicious." After finishing speaking, he quickly walked towards the place where the fish was grilled, Gu Lisha waved her fist at Xiao Ruoshui's back, made a gesture to hit him, and waved it a few times to vent her dissatisfaction.
