Chapter 51: The old turtle returns to the sea

There is a small village called Liaojiacun in the north of Kangcheng.
The people in Liaojia Village are almost all surnamed Liao. It is said that a family from a large family moved here to form a village hundreds of years ago. There is an ancestral hall in the center of Liaojia Village. This ancestral hall has a history of more than 100 years, and it houses the genealogy of the Liaojia village family and some big figures who have contributed to Liaojia village. The people of Liaojia Village have been living well in China for the past few hundred years. They all feel that they are blessed by their ancestors, so they will come to the ancestral temple during the holidays. Even children who have studied abroad will find opportunities to come back and pray during the Chinese New Year.
At this time, just after zero, it was the second day of the new year and the second day of the new year.
The candlelight in Liao's ancestral hall is still very strong, and a large piece of red candle illuminates the large ancestral hall like daylight. Suddenly, a young green seedling came out from under the thick floor of the ancestral hall. The seedling slowly drilled out a head, and the head with two leaves was drilled out, and then it began to grow up frantically. The growing vine twisted into the shape of an adult man in the air, and later the man turned into a tall man.
The man was Fan Chen, and according to the address Mi Wan had told him, he hurried over the night.
Fan Chen saw the red candle and the incense burned on the desk at a glance. A large slap turtle shell was lying there quietly, lifeless, Rao was him, if he didn't pay attention, he thought it was just an empty turtle Shell.
"Sleep only, get such a strong boundary?" Fan Chen was a little speechless and went straight to the direction of the desk.
Before reaching the desk, the sleeping turtle still didn't respond, obviously for a good night's sleep. He not only shielded the outside world from perceiving him, but also shielded himself from the outside world. Fan Chen stretched out his hand helplessly and tapped twice on the turtle shell: "Getting up."
The turtle shell is still unresponsive.
Fan Chen frowned, wasn't the demon power enough. He tapped again with his hands, but this time it was not as gentle as the first time. He ran out of demon power on his fingertips, and then knocked down heavily: "Old turtle, get up."
With the movement of Fan Chen knocking on the turtle shell, the blue magic power disappeared in an instant and touched the enchantment inside the turtle shell. The turtle's shell trembled slightly, and a trace of life belonging to the living creature finally came out from the turtle's shell. Fan Chen knew that the old turtle had been awakened by himself.
The tortoise shell shook twice, and then four gray-brown tortoise legs stretched out of the tortoise shell, followed by the tail, and finally the head. When the dark brown head stretched out, the eyes were still closed, but the eyelids were trembling, as if the master was trying to open, but the eyes were too thick to open for a while.
Fan Chen did not urge, standing patiently waiting for the old turtle to slowly wake up.
Laogui's small green bean eyes opened for two full minutes before it was opened. The first sentence after waking up was: "Hey, how did I turn it over?"
As a tortoise, turning over is a big challenge. The old turtle twisted his limbs and tried to turn the turtle shell upright. He tried it twice, and the turtle shell just wobbled slightly, but it couldn't be turned over at all. The old turtle suddenly gave up his resistance and asked for help: Do me a favor. "
Fan Chen's mouth twitched: Can't you turn into a humanoid if you can't turn over?
Tucao returned to Tucao, Fan Chen still reached out and turned the old turtle over.
"Much more comfortable." The old turtle exhaled comfortably, and then he turned his head and asked Fan Chen, "I have been sleeping for several years?"
"Five hundred years." Fan Chen replied.
"Five hundred years?" The old turtle stretched his neck in amazement. "The demon clan has been catastrophic again?"
"No." Fan Chen shook his head.
"Then why did you wake up again?"
"I'm not awake again, I'm awake all the time." Fan Chen said helplessly. The old turtle, feeling that he was like it, woke up again after a long sleep.
"Always awake?" The old turtle had been asleep for a long time, and his head didn't move a little. It was silent for a while, and he carefully understood the meaning of Fan Chen's words, and asked after a while. Since waking up five hundred years ago, I have never slept again. "
"Well." Fan Chen nodded.
The old turtle raised his front paw, which is very humane and very scientifically. He touched his smooth chin with his front paw: "You wake up the old turtle, but I have something to ask the old turtle to help me?"
"Yes." Fan Chen continued to nod.
"Let's talk first. I'm not going to do too complicated things."
The biggest reason why the Xuangui family has lived for a long time is that the Xuangui family has left most of their time to sleep, and resolutely prevents themselves from getting into trouble. Just like five hundred years ago, the monsters of their sea clan had to go ashore to fight against the demon master. As a ninth-order demon, it wouldn't go ashore, otherwise someone would always go to his door to call. But after all, he was clever. After landing, he quickly found a corner where no one was, and went to sleep on his stomach.
He slept until Fan Chen woke up and the war subsided. At that time, he was being adopted by a human official named Liao. He was taken care of very well, and he was too lazy to return to the sea and stay on the land. This stay is five hundred years.
"It's not complicated, it just makes you go to another place to sleep." Fan Chen said.
"Sleep in another place?" The old turtle was a little puzzled. Where did he sleep? Could it help Fan Chen?
"You have been away from the East China Sea for five hundred years, don't you want to go back and see?" Fan Chen looked at the old turtle.
"Donghai? What's wrong with Donghai?" Donghai is the hometown of the old turtle. It has been in the depths of the East China Sea since the beginning of the consciousness. Except for a few wakeups, it almost never left the East China Sea.
Fan Chen did not speak, but took a plate with fruit from the desk of the Liao family ancestral hall. He took out the fruit inside, and then flicked his palm on the plate. The plate was filled with water in a moment. .
"Try it." Fan Chen handed the plate filled with water to the old turtle.
The old turtle slowly passed the probe, first smelled it, then he smelled a salty taste.
This is sea water! All in all, he hasn't drunk the sea water for a long time. The old turtle took a step excitedly, put his head in it, took a big sip of water, and ...
"Cough ... Bah ... Bah!" The old turtle shook his head desperately, and he was very disgusted. "Where is the sea water, so unpalatable."
"East of the East China Sea." Fan Chen looked at Lao Turtle's appearance at this moment with some amusement.
The old turtle froze and looked at Fan Chen in disbelief, as if to say you lied to me, how could my water be so bad.
"I took this water from a distance below one thousand meters from the sea. Now Hai people think the taste is okay. You are so disgusted." Fan Chen shook his head, as if accusing the old turtle of being picky.
"What happened, why is the sea water so unpalatable?" Laogui said with a sad expression.
"The times are developing." Fan Chen said something very popular in modern times and can summarize the status quo.
"What?" Old antiques that have slept for five hundred years cannot accept such a fashionable answer.
"After the war between the shemales and humans, humanity has entered a stage of rapid development. Especially in the past two hundred years, human technology has penetrated into all corners of the world. Up and down, you can explore the universe and space, and down, you can go deep into the seabed volcano." Fan Chen patiently Explained.
"Humans are already so powerful?" The old turtle widened his eyes in surprise, and the pair of green bean eyes even gleamed with green light in surprise.
Fan Chen nodded and continued: "The faster the development of human science and technology, the more thorough the exploitation of the natural environment, the more serious the damage, and due to the battle of the war five hundred years ago, the demon clan suffered heavy losses and natural The resilience also lags a lot. "
"No wonder, no wonder I woke up feeling that the aura between heaven and earth is so thin. I thought it was because of my special environment. Now listening to your old friends' explanation, I am afraid that the aura between heaven and earth is thin." The old turtle asked.
"Yes." Fan Chen nodded. If it is not Fan Chen who is here at this time, but a demon clan, then the demon clan will spit out loud: How much do you like to sleep, do you stop practicing till you sleep? You ca n’t feel the decrease of the heaven and earth aura, what's the difference between it and death?
"Then you come to me, you want me to go back to the sea to purify the sea?" The old turtle guessed Fan Chen's intention and went back to the East China Sea to sleep. His own role is probably only this.
"Yes." Fan Chen said, "I'm already trying to improve the environment of the earth, but I can't take care of the depth of the sea for the time being. An eighth-order monster, a year of cultivation, can catch up with a dense primitive jungle Now there are not many monsters above the eighth order. As early as seventy or eighty years ago, I wanted to find an old friend and you went back to the sea, but it ’s a pity that you slept so deeply that I could n’t find you for a while. "
"Uh ... hehehe ..." Laogui smiled a little embarrassedly. At that time, the war between the demon and the demon was just over, and the demon catcher was still very hostile to the demon clan. He slept in the human territory, so he had to set the enchantment. Tighten it to be at ease. But he didn't want to set it too tightly, making it even harder for Fan Chen to find him.
Wait ... No matter how powerful his enchantment is, Fan Chen can't help it.
"Old friend ... How is your condition?" Laogui Xianglu asked worriedly.
"Fair." Fan Chen heard the old turtle's worry and smiled comfortably.
"That's good." The old turtle nodded with confidence, that is, even if all the demon clan in the world were going to be extinct, Fan Chen must be the last one to be extinct. He was still alive, how could Fan Chen be in trouble.
"That's good, I'll go back to the East China Sea." The old turtle used his strength to support his turtle shell with his short limbs.
Fan Chen saw him like this and couldn't help but twitched his mouth again. This guy wouldn't want to crawl back to the East Sea. Based on Fan Chen's understanding of the old turtle, this possibility is extremely great.
"Let me send you back." Fan Chen raised his hand and caught the old turtle in his hand.
"Then trouble your old friend." The old turtle grinned happily without climbing.
Fan Chen didn't speak, turned to leave, and just about to leave, the old turtle lying on his palm suddenly shouted: "Wait, wait for me to put a turtle shell on the desk." The Liao family enshrined him five For a hundred years, during these five hundred years he slept very comfortably, leaving a turtle shell to give them a calming operation is a reward.
With that, the old turtle opened his mouth and spit gently towards the desk. A tortoise shell the size of a mung bean spit out of its mouth and landed firmly on the place where it had just laid. Then, under the control of the magic power, the turtle shell of the size of mung bean began to grow slowly, and it stopped until it was about the same size as the old turtle at this time.
"Well." The old turtle nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Fan Chen, "Old friend, please turn the turtle shell over again."
"..." You pay attention to details.
Without a word, Fan Chen still reached out and turned the turtle shell over and put it in exactly the same state as when he came, and then he disappeared with the old turtle.
After a while in the air, Fan Chen and Laogui reached the east coast.
This is an uninhabited island on the surface of the East China Sea. Fan Chen stood on the beach, placing the old turtle in his hand where the waves can reach, so that the old turtle can return to the bottom of the ocean after a while.
"This water is not only difficult to drink, but also a bit turbid." After 500 years of seeing the sea again, the old turtle couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "The sea is so vast, I have lived in this sea for thousands of years. It can change the sea one cent at a time, why is it that human beings can do so in a few hundred years? "
"Wow ~~"
A large wave came over, and the old turtle's body suddenly became larger under the beat of the sea water. In a blink of an eye, the body expanded dozens of times. At this time, it seemed like a huge round pot.
"Clap, pop ~~" Suddenly a sound of fish tail flapping on the beach came. The two turned their heads and saw a white dolphin full of people, who was desperately flapping their tails on the beach.
Fan Chen frowned, he walked a few steps towards the baby dolphin, then squatted down, and pulled off the fishing net that bound the baby dolphin's head with his hand. Yes, this snow-white little dolphin has its entire head tightly bound by a green fishing net. The lips are struggling with force, and numerous small wounds have been worn out.
"Ou ~~ 欧 ~~" The little dolphin found that the things that bound his mouth were torn apart, he screamed happily, and then gently pressed Fan Chen's body with his head.
"It's thanking you." The old turtle didn't know when he came over.
"Well." Fan Chen stroked the wounded mouth of the dolphin, and the wound on the mouth of the little dolphin healed all over the palm.
"It also said, could you please tell other human beings to stop throwing things into the sea in the future. Its mouth is and has not eaten for three days, which is particularly uncomfortable." Laogui continued to translate.
"... I can understand." Fan Chen said with a complex expression.
"Yes, you have the ability to listen to the sound of all things." The old turtle seemed to think of it as a general sigh, these five hundred years of change, Fan Chen looked at it step by step, knowing and understanding better than himself More, where do I need to mention it myself.
"Take it back with you, it was washed away, and the waves can't take it back." What was in front of me was just an ordinary baby dolphin, who hadn't opened his mind and thought of himself as an ordinary human.
At this time, a sea breeze blew from the sea surface, in addition to the salty smell of the sea water, there was a warm breath.
"It's almost spring." The old turtle asked suddenly, he smelled the spring in the wind.
"Huh." Fan Chen murmured faintly.
"Hopefully there will be a good spring this year."
"Yes." Fan Chen responded with a smile, as if guaranteeing something.
"I will leave you with a turtle shell. If you find me something, take it to the beach." After that, the old turtle's turtle shell had a magical power, and then a huge wave slammed up from the bottom of the sea, and his head was covered. Falling down, rolling him and disappearing on the beach with the little dolphin just now. The water receded quickly, and where the old turtle disappeared, a slap-like turtle shell was exposed.
Fan Chen picked it up, turned around and disappeared on the beach, leaving only two shallow footprints, and was quickly smoothed by a new wave of waves.
Mi Wan was sitting on the swing in the backyard of the pet shop, with pine nuts sleeping on his shoulder for more than a month. Little squirrel pine nuts, because drinking the tea made with the camellia demon, the benefits are not small, and I slept for more than a month. In order to prevent Ye Guanjia from seeing the anomaly, Mi Wan temporarily put the pine nuts in the pet shop. When I came here early in the morning, it happened that the little pine nut was awake, and was holding a nut and nibbling on Mi Wan's shoulder.
"Yesterday, Fan Chen suddenly went out." Mi Wan whispered to herself. Yesterday she was just sleeping late. At about twelve, she noticed that Fan Chen had gone out, and when she woke up in the morning, she noticed Fan Chen. Come back, "Are you going to see the big ninth tortoise?"
Yesterday, Fan Chen asked where she saw the 9th-order tortoise, but Mi Wan did not hide it. He directly gave him the address of the sparrow elf, and then Fan Chen sneaked out at night. Mi Wan guessed that he must have seen him The turtle is demon.
"I'm not thinking of helping the demon clan to find a big demon out." Mi Wan touched his chin. "And the sisters of the Liao family. Although the sister has missed the best time to practice, the sister still has time. Ah, it ’s a shame if it ’s left. "
At the moment when she saw Liao Tingting, Mi Wan rarely moved her heart, but she didn't have the idea of ​​accepting students. She just felt that it was a pity that such a good piece of jade was so dusty. Moreover, if the Sister Liao family is the balance force of the ninth-order demon, if you leave it alone, will it break the balance of the shemale.
After thinking about it, Mi Wan felt that she still had to try to guide the little girl to practice. But this matter is a bit difficult to handle. If it was only five hundred years ago, she just had to stand on her feet and say something inscrutable to her parents: "I see that the bones of Qianjin are exquisite. Let her go back to the mountain with me to practice. "
In only one sentence, eight achievements can abduct people. But this is five hundred years later. Humans are gone on the road of breaking feudal superstition. If they still say that, 80% of the parents of the other party will hit 110 to let the police uncle come to do ideological work for themselves.
I don't know how the current demon-hunter associations take their disciples, alas, no matter, this kind of thing is still dumped to professionals.
The so-called professionals are naturally modern demon-catchers who have the experience of apprenticeship. Thinking about it, Mi Wan took out his mobile phone, turned it over, turned to his apprentice Weiwei Ji, and made a phone call. As the so-called fat water does not flow outside the field, if this little girl can really be absorbed in, naturally close to her teacher first.
"Sister in charge." Wei Ji quickly connected the phone.
"What are you calling, who is the world in your hands." Mi Wanliu raised her eyebrows.
"Mi ... Sister Mi." Wei Ji quickly changed his voice. "What are you looking for from me?"
"Inquire about something with you."
"You say."
"I ask you, how did your grandpa take the disciples?" Mi Wan asked.
"My grandpa?" Wei Ji stunned. "My grandpa is an eighth order demon catcher. Many demon catchers cry and beg for his apprenticeship."
"I don't mean this, I asked another way." Mi Wan thought and asked again, "I want to ask, what method do you usually find in the countless ordinary people to find a good seedling to catch the demon master, and then absorb Come in and train as a demon catcher. "
"Oh, you are asking the martial arts to recruit new ones." Wei Ji understood, "Our martial arts recruited a total of two ways, one is to catch the awakening children in the family of demon masters, usually if the father or mother has ever caught If the demon master, their children have a great chance to wake up to catch the demon master. Just like our family, more than half of the children every year are demon masters. In this family, we usually pay attention to newborns. There is also a kind of The method is through the spirit detector inside the Monster Hunter Association. "
"Spirit detector?" Mi Wan first heard of this kind of thing.
"Yes, it's the same thing as the demon force detector. The difference is that this device is responsible for detecting the spiritual force in the air." Wei Ji explained, "The difference between catching a demon master and ordinary people is that it can transform the spiritual energy in the air into Spiritual power. So where there is a monster catcher, the spiritual power in the air will be more intense than other places. And the best age for practicing the monster catcher is about three years old, so every year when the kindergarten enters a small class, all the schools will According to the spiritual ranking table of major cities given by the Association of Catching Pharmacists, send people to the kindergarten to screen for suitable catchers of demon catchers. If they meet good ones, they will be sent to our own kindergarten for reading by special means, which is convenient Lay a solid foundation. "
"You still have your own kindergarten?" Mi Wan surprised.
"Yes, not only do we have the demon catcher, but also the demon clan. They not only have kindergarten, but also their own elementary school, junior high school, high school. Most demon clan only let the demon clan come out with us when they are in college Humans go to school together. Fortunately, basic junior high schools can go to ordinary schools. "Wei Ji introduced.
"Oh, what if a particularly well-qualified child does not go to kindergarten or goes abroad?" Mi Wan asked again.
"This ... some seniors will occasionally visit the mountain area and see good seedlings will be brought out. As for those who go abroad, I don't know." Wei Ji said, "but with our current method, we can already survey nearly 100%. 90% of the children are gone, and very few can be missed. "
Few? I saw two geniuses missed by you yesterday, and Mi Wan couldn't help but sigh.
"Sister Mi, why did you suddenly ask this?" Wei Ji answered all the questions before thinking of asking Mi Wan why.
"Oh, it's nothing. I saw a good seedling yesterday. I want to ask if you are interested in taking it in and training it well." Mi Wan said.
"Good seedlings? Sister Mi, did you find the Miaozi, who has a particularly good qualification to catch the demon master?" Wei Ji excitedly said, "We definitely want it. When we enrolled last year, we didn't recruit a particularly good seedling. My grandpa has been sighing for a long time. What qualifications, how old are they, where are they? "
"Just in Cannes, about six or seven years old, there are natural veins in the body." Mi Wan introduced.
"Heaven ... born spirit veins?" The phone paused, and then Mi Wan heard Wei Ji's excitement, wailing, and a loud voice, "Grandpa, the elder sister said she found a born spirit vein. Good seedling ~~ "
"Who is your sister-in-law ?!" Mi Wan roared, but unfortunately Wei Ji at the other end of the phone was completely absent from the call.
The phone was panicked for a while, it was very noisy, and then the phone was changed to answer. Old man Wei's hoarse voice rang on the end of the phone: "Master."
"I am not your head." Mi Wan black line.
"Oh ... hehe ... master, where did you find such a good seedling?" Wei Lao didn't seem to hear Mi Wan's words.
"..." Mi Wan was speechless. It seemed that he had to return the Xuan Tiejian to Wei Old Man as soon as possible. "I will send the address back to Wei Ji, you can contact yourself. By the way, you first ask if people would like to. If you do n’t want to be a demon catcher, it ’s fine. "
"Understood, we Xuanwu Mountain never do things that force people." Wei old man said.
"Oh, then you will find someone to come and take the black iron sword back."
"Oh hehe ... master, what did you say just now? Oh, get in touch as soon as possible, you can rest assured, I will arrange for someone to go and make sure not to force the little girl." Chance, Wei Lao hung up the phone directly.
"..." I believed you a ghost, you lousy old man, what pretend to be for me.
