Chapter 287 Black Turtle Shell

Chapter 287 Black Turtle Shell

The old toad found a large yellow cloth bag, wrapped the treasure fish in it and threw it behind him.

It pushed open the door and looked back at the six-story cave.

The vines emit a faint fluorescence, climbing up from the ground, covering the entire roof and casting shadows on the stone walls.

Bells and tripods are displayed, and beautiful pearls and jades emit precious light against the backdrop of the water waves. There are hundreds of precious fish in the cave, all swimming in the air as if without support.

"We have to tighten our belts again."

Bubbles floated up, and the old toad sighed leisurely. After thinking, it made up its mind to jump out of the cave, landed on the green-skinned frog, jumped up and down, stomped on its belly, created a wave, and urged Big Fatty to get up and hurry on.

Big Fatty struggled to get up and looked up to see the yellow cloth bag behind the old toad.

The creature leaped and struggled, revealing its fish shape. The water around it surged powerfully. It was obviously a precious fish of extremely high quality!

Long live the frog!
The elder is serious!

Something is wrong! There is something 120% wrong!
Big Fatty's eyes were filled with worry, and he asked with concern, "Is the elder feeling unwell?"

"Uncomfortable? Very uncomfortable."

The old toad wrinkled his face when he heard that, as if he was really upset.

It covered its chest and staggered down onto the green-skinned frog's belly, its body hunched over into a small ball.

It hurts, it hurts too much.

It has been a long time since the king last gave the frog anything since he grew up.

It has really given too much for the frog tribe, and all its tears can only be shed at night.

The green-skinned frog was horrified.

"Elder, you must have had an upset stomach. Throw out your stomach right away! My mom taught me that if you have an upset stomach, you just need to vomit it out and empty it out!"

As he said that, Big Fat grabbed the old toad and tried to pry open its mouth.

“Foul minister!” The old toad suddenly opened his eyes, and with a leap he spread his big fat webbed claws, hugged the green frog’s head, and gave it a big butt on the face, pointing to the distance, “You stupid frog, I’m heartbroken! Not that I have a stomachache! Now, immediately, go to the king!”

Big Fatty's head sank, he didn't dare to speak anymore, and hurriedly carried the elder back to the King's Cave.

"The frog spits out food, and the whole world is at peace!"

Toad and Big Fat and Two Fat just watched the old toad scream strangely, then jumped into the undercurrent with the yellow cloth bag on his back and disappeared.

The three frogs stared at each other.

"Who is Frog?"

……

At the entrance to the underground river, water plants are swaying in the cracks.

Unable to move, he lay motionless among the rocks, blending into the surrounding environment.

It looked up and saw the old toad leaping over, and sent a message to Liang Qu through the mental link.

"The old toad is here! Everyone is here!"

Liang Qu relayed the message to the fat catfish, which slapped the water surface and celebrated joyfully that order had immediately been restored to the pond.

Those who work work, those who bask in the sun bask in the sun, and those who blow bubbles blow bubbles.

The old toad climbed out of the water, shook off the water stains, and seeing everyone working hard, he felt that the frog clan was thriving.

It put down the yellow cloth bag from its back, grasped the bag opening and raised its head.

"Today I will show you some of the treasures in the deep waters! I will let you, little frog, know that I, Frog Grandfather, never mistreat frogs that have made contributions!"

The fat catfish approached the shore, full of anticipation.

The old toad opened the bag, reached in with his claws, pulled out a precious fish, and held it high.

The treasure fish basked in the sun, its whole body glowing with colorful light, like a pearl oyster, with wavy patterns spreading on its sides and long whiskers extending on both sides of its mouth. It was nearly one meter long and lively.

The fat catfish was reluctant to leave because of the precious fish that Toad gave it last time. Looking at the colorful precious fish in front of it, it seemed to have smelled the fragrance and its stomach began to growl.

The otter that was crawling around on the boat also stopped, stood up and drooled.

"Take it!"

The old toad felt sad in his heart but looked calm. He moved the precious fish out of his sight and handed it to the big beaver.

The big beaver stretched out its claws and hugged it, not even caring about its hair being messed up by the fish's tail.

The fat catfish looked at the yellow bag again. It was bulging, obviously there were good things inside.

The old toad pretended to be mysterious and rummaged around in it for a while. It looked like there were really a lot of things inside. However, as a whole turtle shell appeared, the yellow cloth bag completely shrank.

Fat catfish: “?”

It patted the bag with its fin and put its head in to see if there was anything flat hidden inside.

Seeing this, the old toad took away the yellow cloth bag and raised the tortoise shell in his hand higher: "Look!"

The fat catfish failed to catch up with the cloth bag and had to look at the turtle shell.

That thing is often seen in swamps. It is hard, difficult to chew and has no meat. What’s the use of it?

"Black Turtle Divination?"

The old toad was about to explain when he was startled by the voice.

It looked around, and finally looked at the old giant clam in the pond, slightly surprised, and raised its frog head.

"I never knew you were so knowledgeable and qualified to be my Frog Master's servant!"

Old Giant Clam: “…”

I can’t say anything else, but in terms of age, I guarantee that it is much older than the wrinkled toad in front of it.

The fat catfish waved its whiskers and asked if the turtle shell was edible. "It's fortune-telling! It can predict good or bad luck!" The old toad sat cross-legged and stretched out his claws. "Do you have a copper coin?"

The fat catfish shook its head and looked at the big beaver.

The big beaver understood what he meant and ran to the inner hall on all fours.

Liang Qu had been waiting here early and handed the big beaver a large string of copper coins, asking it to pass it on to the old toad.

When the old toad got the copper coins, it broke the rope that strung the coins together, counted out six copper coins and put them into the tortoise shell. Then it held the tortoise shell and shook it up and down, making a clanging sound. Finally, it opened the shell downwards and poured out all the coins.

The copper plate fell to the ground on the stone curtain with a tinkling sound and landed firmly on the ground.

Four positive and two negative.

A little fierce.

"what?"

The old toad was surprised.

Four positives and two negatives means stability with a little bad, usually some bad luck...

Today is clearly a good day for the frog tribe.

The old giant clam was also very surprised. According to its knowledge, if one used copper coins for divination, shouldn’t there be three coins?
Why does this old guy use six coins and only looks at the front and back?
As for the fat catfish, it had no idea what it was doing.

"No, come again."

The old toad did not give up. It grabbed the copper coins on the ground, put them into its shell, shook it again, and fell to the ground.

Still four positive and two negative.

The old toad was furious.

"Bring some firewood!"

The big beaver ran out in a hurry, and when he came back he was holding a pile of dry firewood, a handful of dry straw, and a tinderbox in his mouth.

The old toad lit a fire and ignited the firewood. When it was a raging flame, he threw the turtle shell into the flame.

When the turtle shell meets fire, it makes a crackling sound.

Wait until the turtle shell no longer makes any noise.

The old toad spat to put out the fire, and picked up the turtle shell.

I saw many fine cracks on the intact turtle's back, with the center line pointing downward, seven on the left and three on the right.

The result is almost the same as that obtained by divination with coins.

This means that the old toad's recent fortune is indeed stable with a hint of bad luck.

Such a hexagram left the old toad completely puzzled.

That's not right. There's nothing bad about it. It's all happy events.

The king has obtained a new magic weapon, and is about to slay a dragon. As the Frog Grandfather, he is about to move into the Dragon Palace and enjoy the delicious frog.

On land, a frog stronghold was created, which was unprecedented in history, and it can be said that they were successful both underwater and on land.

The frog tribe achieved unprecedented development and growth under the hands of Frog Taigong, leaving a strong mark in the long history of the world.

It should be all right, good luck, right?

The fat catfish looked at the cracked turtle shell, wondering if it could still be used.

"It can be used. Just soak it in water for half a month and it will heal."

The old toad studied the turtle shell and moved his claws. It had burned several shells and was quite experienced.

"It's just that the hexagram is not right..."

Fat catfish, river otters and other animals beside the pond drooled at the sight of the precious fish. The old toad held the turtle shell, rubbing and counting it with its webbed feet.
More than a quarter of an hour later.

The old toad suddenly understood.

Damn it, the tortoise shell is broken!
not allowed.

The old toad was about to throw the turtle shell, but when he looked at the group of water beasts around him, he suddenly thought and shouted, "I understand!"

The fat catfish and other animals came to their senses.

After attracting the attention of all the animals, the old toad stood up, put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky.

"It must be that the king is so powerful that he is hiding the secrets! As the king's confidant and loyal minister, my future is also shrouded in an impenetrable fog.

Even a rare and precious item like the black tortoise shell cannot work on me!"

The old toad stroked his beard in the air when he saw this.

It is worthy of being called Frog Taigong, born as a supreme lord and dead as a divine frog!

In the blink of an eye, waste is turned into treasure.

However, the fat catfish used its whiskers to pick up the yellow cloth bag on the ground and poured it down. It was empty. It looked at the old toad.

Grandfather of the Frog Clan, that’s it?
Do you think it is some ignorant little frog?

The old toad was so angry that he became embarrassed.

"A fish and a turtle are of great value. I saved them for the frog tribe by tightening my belt. Little frog, don't be too greedy!"

The fat catfish curled its lips and accepted it reluctantly.

It’s free, not a loss.

The old toad was walking around in the pond. When he saw the entrance to the third courtyard, he poked his head out and looked back at the fat catfish.

"You said that you obtained this stronghold through negotiation with the human race. Where is that person? Let me meet him."
