This black turtle is none other than the old turtle spirit that lived in the pond in Yongze City ten thousand years ago. Its name is Yuannie. It is unknown how old it is, and it has a very good relationship with the residents of the city.
It is said that its carapace once possessed the power of the Great Dao and could predict destiny.
The prophecy of "the city falls" first appeared on his shell.
When Jun followed Shuo Hui to settle down in Yongze City, his evil nature had not yet disappeared. When he was bored, he would often find people to "borrow money" and cause trouble in the city.
One of the things he did most often was to steal Yuan Nie's fellow tribesmen and carve words on them, for which Yuan Nie complained to Shuo Hui several times.
Shuo Hui had to tell Jun to be more restrained and to only steal one small turtle a month at most, and not to let Yuan Nie find out.
Jun always obeyed Shuo Hui's words, but he couldn't change his way of addressing Yuan Nie. He had a good reason, "They look the same."
Yuan Nie was almost pissed off.
Unexpectedly, after ten thousand years, Jun Shu still hit Yuan Nie's sore spot so accurately as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zhu Changyang was amused for a moment, and felt a little more relaxed. He squeezed the palm of his hand next to him and said, "Don't be angry with it."
Jun Shu followed suit: "Oh."
When Yuan Nie heard Zhu Changyang's voice, his eyelids bulged again, and his tone suddenly became excited: "But Shuo, Shuo Huijun is here?"
Zhu Changyang squatted down beside it: "It's me, Mr. Yuan."
"Cough, cough, cough—" Yuan Nie coughed twice, and one of his forelimbs slowly moved, "Shuo Huijun, you are finally back..."
"Yes." Zhu Changyang smiled, "I'm finally back."
Ying Shuangze heard the conversation between the man and the turtle nearby and became more and more surprised. He suddenly realized something, but he couldn't believe it for a while.
"Great, so great." Yuan Nie said twice, and stretched out his forelimbs in the direction of the sound, "I finally, finally waited for you..."
He stopped halfway through, "Ahem, ahem—"
Zhu Changyang then noticed that its voice was very weak, its eyelids had not opened, and its front limbs moved slowly, clearly out of strength.
His heart tightened, and he quickly grasped Xuan Yuan's claws: "Mr. Yuan, how are you?"
Ying Shuangze frowned slightly and sighed, "It's too old."
It is not easy for humans to tell the age of underwater creatures, but mermaids can see it clearly.
The shell of this black turtle is rough, with mottled patterns and has long lost its normal luster. The skin on its limbs is cracked and its nails are gray and uneven.
His breath was extremely weak.
All these signs are a foreshadowing of the end.
"Alas, I am getting old." Yuan Nie asked with a strong voice, "How many years have passed?"
"Ten thousand years." Zhu Changyang hurriedly injected a breath into it, his nose sour, "Sorry, I'm late."
"It's been so long." Yuan Nie sighed, but also felt relieved. "It's okay..."
He wanted to shake his head, but his neck was too heavy to move. He could only say, "It's enough for me to see you for the last time."
As he spoke, he tremblingly retracted his other front paw into the shell and pushed something out with force, "I will keep everything you entrusted to me..."
After a while, two small objects rolled out of the shell.
The three of them looked down and saw two small wooden benches.
The bench had four short legs and one side had a wooden head with triangular ears and round eyes.
At first glance, it looks like a puppy.
They were the two bench dogs that Shuo Hui had refined back then, but the bench dogs in front of him were also motionless, and it was obvious that they had fallen into a deep sleep just like this city.
"They are still here." Jun Shu was surprised and delighted. He reached out and picked up one of the benches, and said with a little more gratitude, "Thank you..."
Yuan Nie said "Ah", "It's not this, it's, it's... Hey, where did I put it?"
It retracted its limbs into its shell and fumbled around for a while, "Shuo Huijun, wait for me to find it, find it..."
But it is too old.
Just such a simple action is enough to exhaust its last bit of strength.
"Mr. Yuan, don't move!" Zhu Changyang hurriedly tried to stop it, but when he touched its neck, he found that its limbs were stiff and it couldn't move at all.
The other two also noticed that its breath had stopped and were all stunned.
"Old bastard!" Jun Shu quickly tapped its forehead and injected a stream of power into it, "Wake up!"
But what use is it
Ten thousand years is an extremely long time for any species in the world.
Even for the turtle spirit who had obtained the power of the Great Dao, it was extremely difficult to hold on until this moment, but unfortunately, it was still one step short.
Pearl, floating in the sky, sensed that the old turtle was about to die, and immediately became very anxious. It suddenly pounced down, and its wide carapace created a huge wave, "squeak--"
"Hey, be careful!" Ying Shuangze was most sensitive to water currents, and he quickly used a trick to almost dispel the waves.
Zhenzhu rushed to the old turtle, leaned her body, and used the edge of her shell to poke the old turtle, trying hard to get it to move again. "Squeak-squeak-squeak-"
The mournful cry moved the live broadcast room:
[Ahhh, how could this happen? I’m going to cry! ]
[No way, even if it's a thousand-year-old turtle, this old turtle has lived long enough, but it's really too long...]
[At such a sad moment, please stop calling him a bastard 555]
Ying Shuangze's eyes turned red. He touched Zhenzhu's shell with one hand and comforted her, "It's alright. A dead turtle cannot be resurrected..."
This reminded Zhu Changyang, and he suddenly perked up and said, "That's not necessarily true."
He pulled out a small green bottle from his pocket and said, "I have medicine here."
Ying Shuangze:
He was stunned for a moment, thinking that Zhu Changyang still didn't understand the situation, so he had to remind him sadly: "Brothers, it has reached its end..."
"I know." Zhu Changyang pulled out the cork from the bottle, "This is the medicine that can bring the dead back to life."
The bottle turned upside down, and a juicy green pill rolled onto the palm of the hand, with a strange fragrance and surging spiritual power blooming together.
Ying Shuangze was surprised: "What is this?"
Zhu Changyang: "This is the immortal Changchun medicine left by Master Peilan of Changchun Tower."
Ying Shuangze:
The prince was shocked: "Eliminium!"
It is said that the founder of Changchun Tower, Master Peilan, once refined a potion that had the effect of bringing the dead back to life, and was later called Immortal Changchun.
Such a rare and miraculous medicine is actually in Zhu Changyang's hands.
Ying Shuangze was surprised at first, and then deeply touched.
There are countless people in the world who have sought this medicine but have been unable to obtain it, but Zhu Changyang was not stingy at all and gave it out so easily.
Isn't this also the reason why the mermaids are willing to make friends with him
Zhu Changyang didn't know what other people thought. In his opinion, no matter how precious the medicine was, it was only valuable if it was used.
When Fairy Xia Jue was in the Five Degenerations, he had thought of giving her this medicine. But later, he found the scales of the giant abalone, which saved Xia Jue from the disaster, so it was no longer necessary.
Now it seems that perhaps this is the opportunity for this medicine.
Upon seeing this, Jun Shu immediately and tacitly pinched the old turtle's mouth open.
Zhu Changyang did not hesitate at all and stuffed the green pill that seemed to contain thousands of spring spirits into its mouth.
Fortunately, Jun Shu had just input a powerful cultivation power in time, barely holding on to Yuan Nie's last breath.
As long as there is still a breath left, the elixir of immortality will work.
Pearl calmed down and looked at the old turtle nervously with the other three.
After a while, a faint halo appeared on the old turtle's decaying body, and a vibrant breath burst out.
The breath starts from the turtle's abdomen and flows to the whole body through the blood and meridians.
Wherever it passed, the rough and mottled shells regained their glossy luster at a speed visible to the naked eye, the cracked skin healed, and the gray nails turned into a lustrous and vibrant black.
Its pulse and breathing gradually became stronger.
Finally, Xuan Yuan's eyelids, which had been drooping and tightly closed, slowly opened, revealing his eyes to be crystal clear and moist, without any trace of turbidity from aging.
The dark eyeballs rolled around, and finally fell on Zhu Changyang, and said in surprise: "Shuo Huijun, I can see you..."
The voice was no longer weak and hoarse as before, but became full of energy.
Yuan Nie was stunned at first, then he reacted and was immediately overjoyed. His thick limbs stretched out of the shell flexibly, and his huge body stood up effortlessly and turned around on the spot.
A burst of white light appeared, and the old turtle turned into a human form.
It was a tall young man wearing black armor.
The man looked at the back of his hand, then looked at his body, still a little bit unbelievable: "This, this..."
Then Jun Shu exclaimed, "You old bastard, you've become younger!"
This old turtle would have been middle-aged in its human form ten thousand years ago, but now it looks like a young man. Fortunately, its facial features are still the same as they were back then, without much difference, otherwise it would have been unrecognizable at first glance.
Yuan Nie: “…”
Can't this demon just keep silent? !
Forget it, since he just saved my life, I won’t let it go this time!
Yuan Nie pretended not to hear, took a deep breath, and bowed to Zhu Changyang: "Thank you, Lord Shuo Hui, for saving my life."
Zhu Changyang's brows relaxed and he let out a long breath: "It's good that you're okay."
Pearl became visibly happy when she saw this. She swirled her tail in the water and made a high-pitched sound: "Squeak--"
Ying Shuangze also showed a look of delight and exclaimed: "The immortality medicine is indeed worthy of its reputation."
Not only did it bring the dead back to life, it also restored the old turtle to youth.
It deserves the name of Changchun.
In fact, it is fortunate that the old turtle has just lived too long and aged naturally, so it was able to be rejuvenated by the medicine.
If there is external damage or the realm falls, it may not be so smooth.
Studio:
[Great, it's saved!]
[It was quite sudden, and I’m still a little confused about the emotions…]
[Jun is really polite. He just got better and started to get angry again! ]
[Don't mention it, the turtle brother looks quite handsome]
Seeing that Yuan Nie had recovered his energy, Zhu Changyang did not bother to greet him and asked anxiously, "Mr. Yuan, may I ask what happened in this city? Why did everyone turn into fish?"
"Hey, have you forgotten everything?" Yuan Nie blinked and said, "Shuo Huijun, it was you who turned everyone into fish."
This statement was quite unexpected.
Zhu Changyang was shocked: "It's me?"
Jun Shu was also stunned for a moment, but said nothing. He just held Zhu Changyang's hand tightly and looked at Yuan Nie together.
Yuan Nie saw that both of them looked confused, then he remembered something and slapped his head: "Look at my memory, your things are still here with me."
He immediately reached into his armor, fumbled for a moment, and frowned again, "Hey, why is the pot gone?"
He turned around and gestured to everyone, "Have you ever seen a porcelain pot like this? There is a vast realm inside the pot, which can accommodate an entire city..."
Zhu Changyang listened to his description and suddenly realized something. He took out a piece of broken porcelain and asked, "Is this what you are talking about?"
This was a piece of the Sun and Moon Pot that he took with him when he left Daishan.
"Yes, that's it!" Yuan Nie slapped his thigh, "Why is it broken?"
"My realm has fallen." Zhu Changyang briefly explained the situation and asked, "Does this pot have anything to do with me?"
"Of course it's related. This is your pot." Yuan Nie sighed, "This is troublesome."
This answer is not surprising. Since the Sun and Moon Pot was picked up by the Yongze River, its origin is not difficult to guess.
But Zhu Changyang was still puzzled: "What on earth is going on?"
Yuan Nie didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so he paused and said, "Shuo Huijun, just recall it yourself."
He reached a hand to his back, pressed a piece of black armor, pulled it hard, and actually broke the piece of armor off.
Zhu Changyang was startled: "Mr. Yuan, why are you... "
"No problem." Yuan Nie waved his hand and handed over the shell. "This is what you kept with me. Now it's back to its original owner."
Zhu Changyang took a closer look and found that there was no new wound on Yuan Nie's back, only an old scar.
It turned out that this piece of nail had fallen off a long time ago, but it just closed again later.
Looking at this armor plate again, the back looks exactly the same as Yuannie's original armor plate at first glance, but there are runes inside.
The runes glowed, revealing a strange power.
Zhu Changyang seemed to realize something and reached out to grasp the piece of armor.
When his fingertips touched the rune, in an instant, his vast cultivation and memories from ten thousand years ago poured into his sea of consciousness like a flood.
The final truth about the flood was finally revealed.
.
The sky was filled with dark thunder and lightning like a net.
Even a natural born demon cannot resist it.
Shuo Hui stood in the flood and made a ten thousand year covenant with you.
"Shuo Hui, you and I will make a promise by water. We will meet again here ten thousand years later."
"Ten thousand years have passed in a flash, and I am following it upstream. This is very good."
Shuo Hui raised his two fingers forward and touched Jun's forehead.
Jun fell into the water and fell into a deep sleep. Most of his skills and will were stored in the Water-Resistant Sword and conveyed to the demons who followed his footsteps to the Undying Land.
The demons didn't know why the Demon Lord appeared here, they only found his remaining will -
Make the water your bond and follow it upstream.
Therefore, the demons in later generations called the area where they lived the Area of Return.
However, the cracks that the natural demon had cut in the earth did not stop there. After he fell asleep, the water of the river was like a blizzard, carrying Shuo Hui and spraying towards Yongze City.
Shuo Hui slammed heavily into the bronze door, the city protection magic circle collapsed, and flooded into the city.
At the same time, the last thunderbolt fell.
However, Shuo Hui did not disappear into ashes.
Lightning washed over his body, blood splattered on the bronze door, and just before he was about to dissipate and fall, he finally refined a small emerald pot, and boldly absorbed the vast power of the avenue.
Shuo Hui Shenjun, successfully transcended the tribulation—
The saint becomes immortal.
The author has something to say:
Jun: I want to secretly catch the little turtle, and then surprise the old turtle~
Lao Turtle: Thank you, I am really angry!
turtle
Pearl is horseshoe crab
Although they both have shells, they are not the same thing.
