Those with shells are usually turtles, but turtles should not have dragon tails. This dragon tail that should not have has become a clue to determine the identity of the monster. The nine locations where the Heavenly Book is hidden are all on the dragon veins. This monster is extremely It is possible that they are turtles infected by dragon energy.
"This lake has never frozen?" Nanfeng looked at Murong Lu.
Murong Lu naturally couldn't answer this question, so he asked the generals for help. Someone said, "The last general passed by here eight years ago when he was chasing the bandits. It was also winter, and it was also filled with fog, and the lake was not frozen."
Another person said, "The water in this lake is very warm, and there must be a geothermal spring underneath it."
"Why do you ask this?" the fat man asked in a low voice.
"I want to make sure that the fog in front of me is formed naturally or is caused by monsters." Nanfeng said, and then looked at Murong Lu, "Is this monster really able to move clouds and make rain?"
Murong Lu was the head of the country and did not do anything himself. Most of the things he knew were only reported to him by his ministers. The same was true for this matter. Hearing Nan Feng's question, he looked at an old official in the tent. He was responsible for this matter. Seeing the king looking at him, he hurriedly bowed and said, "It is indeed true."
Nanfeng looked at the old official, "Have you ever seen it pray for rain with your own eyes?"
The old official shook his head repeatedly, "That's not true. This monster prayed for rain in the dark room and didn't let me wait to watch."
"Does the darkroom have a skylight?" Nanfeng asked.
The old official shook his head again, "The darkroom is located in the back hall of Sitian Mansion. It has no windows and no skylight."
Nanfeng was relieved when he heard this. Taoists must stand upright when praying to heaven. The so-called standing upright means having your feet on the ground and the blue sky above your head. Only in this way can you sense the aura of heaven and earth. If there is an obstruction above, it will block the sense of heaven and man. What is this monster doing in the secret room? We don’t know, but one thing is for sure, it is not praying to heaven.
If you don't do this, it's fine. If you don't do it, it means that although the monster lives here, it didn't get the piece of tortoise shell here.
Everything has its pros and cons, and this matter also has its cons. This monster does not rely on magic and can control wind and rain by relying solely on its own powers, which shows that its cultivation is profound.
Murong Lu had already noticed that Nanfeng was in charge among the three. When he saw that he was frowning and silent, he said, "This matter is really difficult and needs to be discussed in a long term. It is almost noon. Please come to the banquet with the three of you."
Nanfeng shook his head, "We still have to look for the herb. We can't delay. We'll leave now. We'll be back tomorrow or in three days at the earliest."
The fat man knew that Nan Feng was trying to hide his secret, so he curled his lips at the side.
When Nanfeng saw this, he originally wanted the fat man to stay, but then he thought, no, this guy must not be reckless and do bad things. He cannot be kept, he must be taken away.
Naturally, it was necessary to persuade them to stay, but Nanfeng insisted on leaving, and Murong Lu and others could not stay, so they could only watch the three of them go north.
After traveling north for fifty miles, a cliff appeared below. The cliff was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The bottom provided shelter from the wind. The three of them stopped and rested under the cliff while discussing countermeasures.
"The view is blocked and it is inconvenient, so we have to try to remove the fog." Nanfeng said.
"How to do it." Fatty said.
Nanfeng didn't have the ability to control the wind and rain. He knew that the fat man was just joking, so he didn't answer.
The fat man said again, "I have an idea, those two..."
Nanfeng knew what Fatty wanted to say, and before he could finish speaking, he waved his hand and shook his head, "Those two mines have been activated, so I don't dare to move them."
"I have a way to deal with it." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
Nanfeng turned to look at Zhuge Chanjuan and saw her serious expression, knowing that she was not joking, "What can I do?"
"Poison." Zhuge Chanjuan took out an oblate porcelain bottle from one of her pockets and showed it to the two of them, "This is a medicinal powder polished by Hua Wuchang's fangs. If you are poisoned by this poison, your mind will be confused and you will become bloodthirsty." If you are scratched or bitten by it, you will also be poisoned."
"What is Hua Wuchang?" the fat man asked.
"A kind of spider." Zhuge Chanjuan put away the porcelain vase.
"Is there an antidote?" Nanfeng asked.
Zhuge Chanjuan shook her head, "No, it requires bleeding to detoxify. It's not troublesome. However, this kind of poison is attached to the blood. If the poisoned person dies, the blood stops flowing and the poison will disappear."
"This method is too cruel. The lake is a hundred miles in diameter, but it is not small. There must be a large number of aquatic people living in it. Once poisoned, it will wipe out your family and your family, and it will damage your life and fortune." Nanfeng said, human life itself It is a robbery, whether you are vegetarian or meat-eating, it is robbery. What you are robbing are the seeds of plants, and what you are robbing are the flesh and blood of livestock. There is no difference between vegetarianism and meat-eating. They are both plundering in essence.
In order to make a living, whether it is collecting seeds or slaughtering livestock, it is permitted by God, but the premise is that it cannot be excessive. If it is excessive, it may lead to punishment.
Zhuge Chanjuan was moved by Nanfeng's words and asked, "Do you have a better way?"
"Not yet." Nanfeng shook his head.
"I have an idea." The fat man said. When the two of them turned to look at him, he added, "That monster is a monster in the water. Try to lure it to land and catch it."
"Okay, you go." Nanfeng didn't think the fat man's plan was feasible. The monster was old and became a spirit, so he naturally knew that going to land would be detrimental to him.
"Go ahead, you can scold better than me." The fat man refused, but in fact it was not a refusal. He was telling the truth. Beggars can scold people. Among the seven people, it is estimated that only Big Eyes has never scolded anyone. That's because Big Eyes is mute. , speechless. Nanfeng is not only good at scolding, but he also curses less as he became a Taoist priest.
"It's disrespectful to break the rules," Nanfeng said.
"Is it my turn to do something that's unseemly?" The fat man glared.
"Guess the treasure." Nanfeng grabbed a few copper coins from his money bag and held them in his hand.
Everyone often played this kind of game when they were young, but as they grew up, they played less of it. Fatty suddenly became interested and said, "Single!"
Nanfeng stretched out his palms, and the two fat men took them away. By the end of the count, there was no one left.
"Damn it." Fatty lost.
Zhuge Chanjuan glanced at Nanfeng with disdain. From her position, she could see that Nanfeng had one under his fingers.
Some things can be done or not done, so you have to consider them carefully. But some things must be done, so there is no need to hesitate. There are only two ways in front of the three of them. One is to lure the monster to the shore, and then work together to besiege it and capture it. If this plan fails, then we can only force our way to Taiwu Mountain to fight the monster.
After deciding on a plan, everyone went about their own business. The fat man baked pancakes to eat, and Zhuge Chanjuan packed her belongings. The robe she wore had more than a hundred pockets. In addition to a large amount of medicine, there were also many small insects, which needed to be fed occasionally.
In addition to practicing Qi and meditating, Nanfeng rarely sits upright on weekdays, usually sitting sideways. At this time, he leaned on a round stone and looked at the tortoise shell obtained from Taihe Mountain. Compared with other tortoise shells, this tortoise shell has sharper edges. The distinctness must be due to the fact that Gao Ping did not observe his past lives very frequently.
The next morning, when the three of them returned, Murong Lu was waiting anxiously. When he saw the three of them arriving, he was relieved and asked for advice.
Seeing the shipbuilding craftsmen shivering in the snow, Nanfeng felt compassion and asked Murong Lu to send the craftsmen and some soldiers back first, leaving only a group of guards.
After having tea, the fat man cheered up and asked the monster for his name on the newspaper. He ran to the lake and yelled curses.
When the two armies confront each other, they often engage in scolding. The so-called scolding is to expose the enemy, throw dirty water, and exaggerate. The purpose is to provoke the other side and make the other side fight.
There are special scolding soldiers in the ranks, with loud voices and precise words. Compared with them, the fat man had a louder voice, but his words were not precise. In fact, he had no words at all and directly greeted his ancestors and relatives.
Nanfeng originally thought that the monster would not pay attention to him, but he never thought that the fat man had just cursed a few words, and an angry curse came from the mist, "Where did you come from, you bastard, howling in frustration, disturbing my purity."
When the fat man saw the other party replying to him, he became more and more enthusiastic, "taking care of" his ancestors and "greeting" his female relatives.
The fat man was not the best at scolding among the seven, but he was better at scolding than the monster. The monster couldn't scold him, and it was inevitable that he would get angry. In addition, with the beauty nearby, he couldn't bear the bad breath. He scolded him while moving towards the west bank. .
"As soon as it lands, poison it immediately." Nanfeng said to Zhuge Chanjuan. The monster could not only transform into a human form, but also control the wind and rain. It was naturally of high moral character. It would be difficult for him and Fatty to catch each other in a short period of time, in case the other party eats it. If you run away after a loss, it will be difficult to trick it into coming back.
Zhuge Chanjuan nodded.
Just as the two of them were concentrating on waiting for the monster to approach, the monster stopped moving and stopped moving a hundred feet away. No matter how the fat man yelled, the monster just yelled back and did not come closer.
Nanfeng was anxious, so he stepped forward and whispered a few words. The fat man listened to him and changed his words. The monster changed his name to Wan Zhongyi, and he called Wan Zhongyi a turtle with a shrunken head and a green-haired bastard.
This plan worked as expected. The monster became angry and rushed towards the lake with wind and waves. When it reached the lake, it stopped suddenly and turned around, swinging its tail and sweeping across.
The fat man didn't expect it to make such a move. He was caught off guard and was knocked out by it.
Nanfeng and Zhuge Chanjuan, who were waiting nearby, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, preparing to resist the enemy. They never thought that the monster had not come ashore, and immediately disappeared into the mist after succeeding in the attack.
"Have you seen how powerful I am? Move quickly, don't seek death." The monster shouted loudly.
In fact, the distance between the two parties at this time was only a few dozen feet, and the monster did not need to be so loud. The reason why it was so loud must have been for the princess on the lonely peak. The unspoken meaning was, 'I have already fought with him, and he Not my opponent. '
The fat man bumped into a big tree on the shore and stopped. He was protected by eight golden bodies and was not injured. He ran back and wanted to retaliate, but Nanfeng hurriedly stopped him and gave instructions.
After hearing this, the fat man shouted loudly, "What are you talking about? I've been standing here and you didn't dare to come near. What a shame. Oh, I know. You were afraid of losing face in front of the princess, so you deliberately yelled to make fun of me." She is such a shameless bastard, so hypocritical."
If you want to anger someone, the most effective way is to accuse the other person wrongly. In the eyes of the monster, Fatty falls into this category. It clearly has the upper hand, but Fatty doesn't even admit it. It's fine if you don't admit it, but it still accuses it wrongly.
In anger, he turned around and came back, but his tail was still wagging.
Even though he was well prepared, Fatty still didn't dodge and was hit by the dragon's tail again.
While Nanfeng was looking at his complexion, Zhuge Chanjuan threw out a puff of medicinal powder with her backhand, but the dragon's tail disappeared in a flash, and the poison seemed not to have touched her body.
"It's so fast." Zhuge Chanjuan frowned.
"Lilac lives in the mountains and is naturally fast." Nanfeng said.
"Rogue, are you dead yet?" the monster asked.
"I'm afraid you won't have a father, so I don't dare to die." The fat man scolded back.
The fat man cursed, which indirectly proved that the monster had hit him. The monster was satisfied and broke through the waves.
The fat man lost his temper in anger. Not only did he become a bastard, but he also allowed his opponent to fulfill his wish. He was furious and said, "Zhuge, poison him and take him to his old home!"
"This move will greatly damage Yin's moral character..."
"Get out of here, you haven't done enough to set the mountain on fire," the fat man interrupted Nanfeng, and urged Zhuge Chanjuan, "Put poison on it and kill it all."
The fat man's words reminded Nan Feng, "There is another way."
The fat man was too lazy to listen and urged Zhuge Chanjuan to poison him, but without Nanfeng's consent, Zhuge Chanjuan would not poison him. "What can I do?"
"Catch a few little bastards and beat my son. I'm not afraid that I won't stand up..."
