Day and night tour

Chapter 364: Turtle Thousand Years Old

Xiaoju's eyes were red as she leaned towards Wang Xinyi's neck. Wang Xinyi then noticed his daughter's unusual movements and asked quickly, "What are you doing?"

"Dad, why do you have a wound here?"

Xiaoju pointed at the back of Wang Xinyi's neck. There was a new scratch near his shoulder.

"Oh... I got scratched when I followed your uncle Liu and the others to cut bamboo to make tables, chairs, and benches. We don't know how long the life in Mingjiang Mansion will last like this."

Wang Xinyi took a crutch made of a broken branch, supported himself, and stood up to clean up the leftovers. There were still some meat tendons on the bones that his daughter had gnawed, so he gnawed them too - the arrival of the disaster made this already frugal man learn to be even more frugal, and he would not let go of any shredded meat.

"We are in Mingjiang Mansion this time, thanks to a great master. Although our living quarters are not very decent, our food and drink are better than before the disaster."

Wang Xinyi wrapped the bones he had peeled clean with oil paper and was going to take them to the carpenter team's dog to chew on. Just as he was about to leave, he turned back and said to Xiaoju, "Juer, your teeth are a little strange. How about I take you to see Doctor Sun?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't hurt or itch."

Xiaoju said so.

"Then take care of yourself."

People of this era have a simple and crude understanding of "illness". They think that as long as it is not extremely painful, it is a minor illness and can be treated with caution and a few days' rest will be enough.

"I know."

Xiaoju said.

"Yeah." Wang Xinyi lifted the door curtain and walked out of the tent. Just as he was about to close the door curtain, Xiaoju said, "By the way, Dad, I'm going to go find Tongzi to play with this afternoon."

"just go."

After Wang Xinyi gave an order, he put up the curtain.

Xiaoju, on the other hand, was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

These tents were set up in a hurry and were not perfectly arranged. For example, the tent Xiaoju was in had a small crack on the top. The crack was not wide, only as thick as a little finger, but she could see an eye in the sky through the crack.

That eye came from a hovering condor - a condor that was released on patrol by the Panshan Eagle.

……

"I always feel something is weird." Pan Shanying sat on the top of the bell tower of Mingjiang Mansion, smoking a cigarette.

Inside this bell tower is the ancient altar of the witch - the Witch Temple.

At the same time, this building is also the highest point of Mingjiang Prefecture. With the advantage of terrain, it is convenient for Panshan Eagle to overlook Mingjiang Prefecture and obtain more information.

For a mountain bandit like him to sit on top of the Witch God Temple, he naturally had Zhou Xuan's permission.

Today, Pan Shanying always felt that there was something wrong among the victims of Huifeng Medical College - but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he stood up and whistled towards the distance, signaling those eagles to fly faster and keep a closer eye on Huifeng Medical College.

……

The Ming River runs through the north and south of the city. When it reaches the Beijiang River, it goes west and meets the Huangyuan Prefecture, which is the Guishen Water Fort of Huangyuan Prefecture.

The reason for this name is that under this water fort, there lies an old turtle that is nine hundred years old. Normally, it always likes to rest at the bottom of the water and rarely comes out to move around.

Nine hundred years old, not far from a thousand years old, the people in the nearby water fortress raised his name and respectfully called him "Turtle Thousand Years Old."

The Lady in the Red Coffin also called the turtle spirit this name.

At this time, she brought ten boats and dozens of disciples to the center of the water fort and dropped anchor.

"Turtle Qiansui, you haven't been out of the water for many years, right? The sun is nice today, come out and warm up."

Lady Red Coffin took the prepared snow mountain ginseng and scattered two of them into the water.

In the deep water that was so green that it even looked a little black, an object like a huge rock gradually floated up. Water chestnuts and algae grew all over the stone slab in lush green. If you didn't look carefully, you would think that it was a small island that had risen up.

"Oh...oh..."

A lazy voice came from the boulder, and a huge black turtle's head stretched out from the boulder, followed by its four legs.

"Coffin Lady...how come you have time to come to my water fort today?"

"Thousand Years Old Turtle, your Dunjia sect is in big trouble."

The coffin lady took off her red robe and threw it into the water.

The man in red robe was like a water ghost, stretching his waist in the deep water, as lazy as Gui Qiansui. But Gui Qiansui knew that if the man in red robe went into the water, it would mean that the coffin lady was going to use her real tricks.

He did not dare to be negligent and first made clear his relationship with the "Dunjia" hall.

"Coffin Lady, you are too kind... I am no longer a Dunjia person..."

"If Dunjia is liquidated, how can you, the thousand-year-old ancestor of Dunjia, escape? Those who know the business will naturally know that you have nothing to do with Dunjia, but people outside don't think so."

There are so many big monsters in Huangyuan. Although this thousand-year-old turtle has the body of a monster, it is not a real big monster. It has a huge feud with Tattooed Pengjia Town in Mingjiang Prefecture.

His turtle body was given by the "forbidden tattoo" of Pengjia Town.

Lady Red Coffin knew this inside story, so when Zhou Xuan comprehended the "Dunjia" incense and couldn't find a guide, she did not recommend Gui Qiansui to teach Zhou Xuan.

The second stick of incense that Zhou Xuan spent was tattooing. Even if Gui Qiansui risked his life, he would never teach Zhou Xuan a single move, but things are different now.

During the chess game between heaven and earth in Mingjiang Mansion, Zhao Qingxiao, the Nine-stick Incense Sticks from the mortal world, joined the game from the "Dunjia" hall in the capital. This was the weak point of the Dunjia hall.

Having grasped this soft spot, Lady Red Coffin had a reason to hit Turtle Thousand Years Old.

"I haven't performed a Nine Palaces hexagram in a long time. I don't know what happened outside... Can you let me perform a hexagram?"

Gui Qiansui asked for the opinion of Lady Red Coffin.

"Ku Gui" is the largest gang in Huangyuan Prefecture. As the second in command of Ku Gui in Huangyuan Prefecture, Guan Niang's words carry great weight in this water area.

Lady Red Coffin sneered, "Thousand Years Old Turtle, it's not that I look down on you... Even if you deduce the hexagrams, you will find that there are some things that cannot be deduced."

During the chess game between heaven and earth, the Mingjiang Mansion was completely sealed off by the chessboard. Even the Taoist priests could not get in. What could they deduce by deducing the hexagrams?
"When Coffin Lady speaks, every word is worth a thousand pounds. You said I can't figure it out, then I can't figure it out. How did Dunjia cause trouble? The whole story, the details, the details, please help me, Coffin Lady, explain it to me."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

A bitter ghost disciple brought a chair and placed it on the deck. The coffin lady sat down immediately, crossed her legs, and said coldly: "In the Dunjia sect, there is a mortal nine incense sticks named Zhao Qingxiao. Do you know this person?"

"Of course I know. He is a rare genius in Dunjia."

"Hehe, do you know what good things this genius has done in Mingjiang Prefecture?"

Lady Red Coffin then told the story of the chess game between heaven and earth, how Zhao Qingxiao used the Dragon Prison Formation to try to crush the Wandering God Division of Mingjiang Mansion, and how he teamed up with Zhaxing to massacre Mingjiang Mansion...

Hearing all these evil things, Gui Qiansui let out another frustrated "Oh". He was also very helpless. He never expected that "Dunjia" would actually collude with the Buddhists and start a heinous killing.

"In Mingjiang Mansion, there is a great master named Zhou Xuan. He has a great background. He was taught by the Taoist master himself. He defeated Zhaxing, Gong Zheng, and Zhao Qingxiao with the True Scripture of Creek Valley. Your so-called genius Zhao Qingxiao was transformed into yin and yang by him and scattered in the world of Mingjiang Mansion."

When Gui Qiansui heard the coffin lady mention Zhou Xuan, he immediately felt that something was a bit strange, so he said, "Coffin lady has mentioned this great master again and again, and she has praised him a lot. You suddenly come to me to ask for an explanation. I'm afraid your real intention is not the wine, but this great master."

Gui Qiansui immediately guessed the purpose of Coffin Lady's visit.

The coffin lady did not hide anything and said, "Master has completely mastered the Dunjia incense, but he is not very clear about the way of Dunjia. He needs someone to teach him and show him the way."

"No."

Gui Qiansui shook his head repeatedly and said, "No... That great master of Mingjiang Prefecture is too famous. He lives far away from me and produces clams in the river.
In the Guishen Water Village, there is a tribe called mermaids. These mermaids have six gills on their cheeks and are able to stay in the water for a whole day.

These mermaids work every day to collect pearls from the clams in the water and sell them to big merchants."

"One day, I heard the mermaids working in the water talking about a stunning talent in Jiang Mansion named Zhou Xuan. He used a sword with sixteen postures to angrily kill the three-headed stone Buddha in the Buddhist kingdom. At a young age, he also comprehended the most powerful tattoo of gods - the mountain and river map."

"This amazing person is indeed Mr. Big."

The coffin lady did not deny it.

"In that case, there is nothing nice to say."

Gui Qiansui said, "I have a huge feud with the tattoo master of Pengjia Town. The disciples they pass down will never learn any moves from me. Even if it costs me my life, I will not teach them."

"If you don't lead the way for the great master, I can understand why, but... you have to teach him one thing."

The coffin lady hit the point.

In fact, she also knew that it was not realistic to let Gui Qiansui teach Zhou Xuan. She did not come to Guishen Water Village to find a guide for Zhou Xuan.

Her real purpose is Kame Chitose's "Tortoise Shell".

The disciples of the "Dunjia" hall need a tortoise shell magic weapon.

Like a tattoo artist's bone teeth.

Logically speaking, there are so many tortoise shells in the world, and naturally many of them are spiritual, but she believes that only the tortoise shells that are a thousand years old are worthy of the title of Master.

"Hand over your tortoise shell."

Lady Red Coffin hooked her fingers together, and her red robe swaying in the water pressed Turtle Thousand Years closer. She added, "Nine Incense Sticks of Dunjia brought chaos to Mingjiang Mansion. This hatred must be avenged by the Master. The Mingjiang Wandering God and the Pingshui Wandering God must not swallow this anger.

If you teach me how to use the tortoise shell, when the Dunjia Hall is broken, the master will spare you. If you don’t hand it over…”

"So you will take action today and forcibly peel off my tortoise shell?"

The turtle was extremely angry, and it used its two front paws to stir up the deep water.

A water wall several tens of meters high was built above the water fort, reaching the side of the coffin lady's boat.

But the towering wall of water did not roll down, but seemed to be still. This was the way Lady Red Coffin controlled the water.

The lady in the red coffin waved her hand gently, and the wall of water dissipated and turned into rain, adding a lot of bleak atmosphere to the confrontation.

"When did you enter the Eight Incense Sticks Ceremony?" Gui Qiansui finally understood where the Coffin Lady's confidence came from.

The coffin lady stared into Gui Qiansui's eyes and said coldly, "Of course it was after meeting the great master. Gui Qiansui, I advise you kindly, don't refuse a toast and drink a penalty. Look at the sky."

Gui Qiansui stretched his neck and looked towards the sky, and saw an ancestral tree with blooming peach blossoms hanging in the sky.

Peach Blossom Tree - the highest belief of Pengjia Town.
"It... is here to steal the tortoise shell as well?"

"The word 'rob' is too crude. We are just looking for the disciples of Dunjia Hall to collect the debt... Hand over the tortoise shell..."

The coffin lady stretched out her hand, but Turtle Qiansui spread out his four legs, as if to fight like a trapped beast.
When the two sides were on the verge of a tense situation, suddenly, a hearty laughter was heard in the air.

"Coffin Lady, I was wondering why you disappeared so early in the morning. So you came here."

The spirit and soul appeared, and Zhou Xuan stood on the water in the posture of a giant.

"Master, I came here with the Peach Blossom Tree to find a magical weapon that suits you."

Lady Red Coffin pointed at the turtle's shell and said, "Its tortoise shell is the most spiritual in the world. If you get it, your future evasion and formation calculations will be very effective."

"Oh, you're here to take off your armor."

In order to find the Coffin Lady and contact the "Ku Gui" to rebuild Mingjiang Mansion, Zhou Xuan asked the witch Shang Wenjun in the medical school. She only said that the Coffin Lady went to the Turtle God Water Village overnight, but she didn't know what she went there for.

"It's taking off the armor." said the coffin lady.

"Then we have to be gentle. Taking things by force is not our style..."

Zhou Xuan believed in courtesy before force, and asked Gui Qiansui: "Turtle Immortal, I want your tortoise shell. What do you want? Tell me. If I think the price is right and I can get it, I will send it to you. We will settle the money and goods, and no one will take advantage of anyone."

"I want your life..."

Kame Chitose said secretly.

Given the grudge between him and the tattoo artist, the desire to take the life of the other person's successor was indeed a strong one that burst out from his heart.

But it's strange,
Ever since he met Zhou Xuan, he always felt that his aura was suppressed. He did not dare to speak wildly or nonsense, so he could only speak honestly: "I don't ask for anything. I have lived for almost a thousand years. What else can I desire?"

"If you don't ask for anything, you won't live to be a thousand years old," Zhou Xuan said.

"..." Turtle Thousand Years Old.

"You've been in the water for more than a thousand years. To be honest, if you don't have anything to pursue, wouldn't you be bored to death? Just say what you want. Be generous."

Zhou Xuan's move was not according to the rules, which made Gui Qiansui stunned.

Seeing the stunned look of the big turtle, Lady Red Coffin also laughed out loud, gave Zhou Xuan a thumbs up, and said, "You are right, sir. You hit the nail on the head. Without something to pursue, who can live to be a thousand years old?"

"I aspire to be among the immortals, can I?"

"Why not?"

Zhou Xuan said: "The Dunjia Hall has its own Sky God level, what is it called... Oh, right... "Jiugong", if you cultivate the incense and kill the old gods, won't you be included in the immortal class?"

"I have a tortoise body and have become a spirit. Even if I have cultivated the incense, I am not qualified to be in the immortal class! Zhou Xuan... do you know why I have a tortoise body?"

"It was thanks to the tattoo artist in Pengjia Town that I, a once promising Dunjia master, became a turtle that can only stay underwater and eat water plants..."

"You still want my tortoise shell... You're daydreaming."

Gui Qiansui finally exploded and roared at Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan also remembered that Yun Ziliang seemed to have said before that forbidden tattoos did have some extremely strange effects. It even caused a family of great dungeons in the capital to have five generations whose daughters and sons were born with tortoise shells on their backs and short hands and feet.

Therefore, the Tattoo and Dunjia sects have never been able to get along well with each other.

He immediately laughed and said, "Turtle Immortal, don't be so impatient. What's wrong with a turtle body? The ancestor of your Dunjia was a black turtle, wasn't he?"

"Nonsense...Each of the Dunjia Taoists has his own unique style. How can there be any black turtle or no black turtle?"

"You don't know?" Zhou Xuan was a little surprised.

"Know what?" asked Kame Chitose.

Zhou Xuan crossed his arms and became a little proud: "Look, I, who lit the Dunjia incense, still want to learn a few moves from you. Now I feel like I can teach you something."

He then said, "I'm using Dunjia to light incense. Do you know how I do it?"

"It must be the Nine Palaces God who entered your secret realm and gave you a piece of tortoise shell."

"wrong."

Zhou Xuan waved his hand and said, "It was a black tortoise. It entered my secret realm, deduced my future, and recognized my future. Then the black tortoise turned into incense and became my incense. It was then that I learned that the ancestor of Dunjia was actually a black tortoise.
You were once a human being, but you were corrupted by the forbidden land of tattoos and turned into a turtle. I am deeply sorry about this, but... I think everything has two sides, and you have returned to your roots."

"Dunjiaxiang, perhaps only a little black turtle like you can cultivate to the highest level."

Zhou Xuan began to speak eloquently.

Gui Qiansui was immediately moved and asked, "Are you serious?"

"That can still be a lie."

Zhou Xuan said, "I just can't let you into my secret realm. Otherwise, if you see my black tortoise incense, you will immediately bow down and cry like a funeral in my secret realm, worshiping my ancestors."

"Is it really a turtle body?"

Gui Qiansui immediately said: "Zhou Xuan...Mr. Zhou, can you let me deduce a hexagram for you?"

"sure."

Zhou Xuan agreed immediately, but he still had some doubts: "No, Old Turtle, you make me feel very strange. As far as I know, among the three major Taoist sects, Xunlong Hall can borrow the momentum of mountains and rivers, Tianyan can predict the future, and Dunjia Master is good at setting up formations for strong attacks.

You should be good at setting up formations, why are you doing deductions and divinations? Is that what your sect is good at?"

"I don't know why, but after I became a tortoise, I became able to tell fortunes, which is much better than my ability to set up formations. Maybe... maybe..."

"Racial talent."

Zhou Xuan suddenly had this idea. When he was in the Zhou family class, he fought a life-and-death battle with the "Human Ao".

That "human turtle" also has a tortoise shell on its back, with a tortoise-like appearance that is greater than a human's, and is extremely good at fortune-telling.

From the two examples of "human turtle" and "thousand-year-old turtle", Zhou Xuan concluded a point - whoever looks like a turtle will have a strong fortune-telling ability.

Things like foxes being good at running and yellow-skinned people being good at getting information, etc., are all talents brought by the monster clan.

"Mr. Zhou, are your ideas always so...interesting?"

Gui Qiansui also felt that what Zhou Xuan said made a lot of sense, but the term "racial talent" always felt a bit playful.

His impression of Zhou Xuan was getting better and better. There was even a moment when he seemed to feel that the hatred between him and the tattoo was not so strong. At least he did not have too much hatred towards Zhou Xuan.

"No wonder your ancestor was a black tortoise, and was also good at deduction. You and your ancestor are becoming more and more alike."

"Is it really a bit similar?" Kame Chitose was a little excited.

“Too much like him.”

Zhou Xuan's words actually appeased Gui Qiansui.

During his thousand years of life in the water, Gui Qiansui always felt inferior about his appearance, but today, he was actually a little proud - Guigui's appearance was inherited from his ancestor, so there was nothing to feel inferior about.

Who is the authentic Dunjia?

"It's you, Turtle!"

Zhou Xuan gently patted the green shell of Gui Qiansui, which was covered with waterweed and algae, and encouraged him, "You are the real one. Those Dunjia masters who look like human beings are the real evil ones."

"Stop talking, sir. Please let me deduce a hexagram for you." The gap between Gui Qiansui and Zhou Xuan was quickly narrowing.

"Come."

Zhou Xuan didn't want the atmosphere, which had just heated up, to cool down, so after "changing his form", his real body stood at the bow, side by side with Lady Red Coffin.

He opened his hands, pretending to cooperate, and said, "Old turtle, deduce, use your best strength, just push."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Da for your help."

Turtle Qiansui suddenly opened his huge mouth and spit out a palm-sized tortoise shell. On the tortoise shell was a vein diagram with golden light flashing. His eyes began to look into Zhou Xuan's "long river of destiny".

Looking at the past, knowing the future, and deducing the fate and future fortune and misfortune is a very high level of deduction.

Gui Qiansui immediately saw Zhou Xuan’s past.

This look,
Gui Qiansui was immediately stunned. He saw a drop of blood that merged into Zhou Xuan's soul. This drop of blood contained an aura more powerful than that of the gods. He didn't even dare to look at the drop of blood.

"Even though it's just a past image of the Great Master, I have a feeling that if I look at it for even a second, that drop of blood... will cost me my life..."

Gui Qiansui quickly closed his eyes, not daring to look directly at it. He wanted to wait until the scene of blood dripping in Zhou Xuan's long river of fate passed before he dared to open his eyes and continue to watch.

When it opened its eyes again, he saw how Zhou Xuan fought against the "Human Turtle" and also saw the "Human Turtle's" amazing talent for fortune-telling.

"What the master said is indeed correct. Fortune-telling is the racial talent of our turtle tribe."

He has been looking at Zhou Xuan's past, entering Mingjiang, learning tattoos, and shocking the Bone Elders...

Gui Qiansui saw all the glorious deeds that Zhou Xuan encountered when he came to Jingguo, and he even began to admire Zhou Xuan a little.

"Mr. Da has had a wonderful journey."

Turtle Qiansui looked and looked, and finally saw the key point - Zhou Xuan's fourth incense stick of "Dunjia" incense, when he lit the incense, the ancestor of Dunjia, the black turtle appeared...
