Chapter 595 Black Crocodile, Shoushan

In and outside the valley.

Silver bubbles floated up quietly.

The mermaids flapped their transparent fins and whispered to each other, wondering what new changes the dragon man's visit would bring to the tribe.

The depth of color of the fish scales seems to symbolize the age and experience of the mermaid.

The lighter scales look excited.

The one with darker scales looked worried.

Sometimes, if there are a few more bubbles in a certain place, there must be mermaids quarreling and scolding.

Pure white and transparent jellyfish float softly, flickering with light. As the sun sets, the last ray of light between heaven and earth disappears and fades into darkness.

Liang Qu lay on the slope, looking up at the sky, listening attentively to "Awei Radio".

……

Pingyang Prefecture.

Liang's Garden.

late autumn.

The pond looked bleak.

Most of the lush weeds and shrubs have withered and shrunk.

On the horizontal and vertical wooden frames, the ship model, which was more than five meters long, cast a shadow. Little Beaver carried the tung oil barrel and did the final oiling process. The brothers Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe had nothing to do, so they lent a hand.

White paper spread out.

The big beaver squatted on the table and chair, writing and drawing with the charcoal pencil in his paw, and the shape of the new ship gradually became clear.

Two months later, the new assembled ship model was completed.

A warship with a long hull and high bow and stern. A swan is painted on the bow. The oars extending from both sides can be moved independently, which is very exquisite.

Practice makes perfect.

Compared with the first construction, the progress is obviously faster, and this is without Jiang Otter's help.

Wow.

The water poured down, seeped into the cracks, and flowed back into the pond.

The old turtle moved its four legs, climbed ashore by pushing the rocks, lifted its feet to shake off the water droplets, and was followed by a string of small turtles.

The weather and water are cold, and winter is approaching. It is not as comfortable underwater as on shore.

The noisy old toad disappeared for several days, leaving the pond all to itself.

So cool.

"Lord Wu!"

Greetings respectfully from the Dragon brothers.

"Pingjiang, Pinghe?" Wu Cangshou looked up at the sky. "Why didn't you go to the yamen at noon?"

"No bathing today."

"Oh, forgot."

Wu Cangshou shook his head and lay down on the old toad's favorite boulder to bask in the sun, stretching his limbs and closing his eyes to rest.

Thinking about the task assigned by the elder yesterday, Long Pingjiang hurriedly asked while the old turtle was still awake.

"Sir Wu, I have something to ask you!"

"explain."

"How much does Lord Wu know about General Yuan in Pengzeli?"

The old turtle opened his eyes.

"Why did you think of asking this?"

Long Pingjiang's expression remained unchanged. "Lord Liang went to Huangzhou to celebrate his birthday. After crossing the Huai River, he reached Pengze. I was looking through the records of rivers and lakes, and I happened to hear that the river god 'Lord Yuan' widely spread and worshipped by the villagers of Pengze was a giant turtle. I was curious, so I wanted to ask Lord Wu."

"Hmm... General Yuan, we are both from the Turtle Clan, so we do know a little bit."

Long Pinghe was slightly delighted: "General Yuan is also from the Western Turtle Clan?"

Wu Cangshou shook his head: "No, General Yuan has little relationship with the Western Turtle in the Jianghuai Lake, and they seldom interact with each other on weekdays."

The Longping River asked the Longping River to be patient.

"Please, Lord Wu, help us solve our doubts."

Wu Cangshou was quite straightforward.

"Hundreds of years ago, the Dragon Palace of the Jianghuai Dragon King was completed. The entire Huai River and the beasts of the five lakes all presented rare treasures to celebrate. At that time, 'General Yuan' was just an unknown little turtle. I don't know where he found it, but he took away a strange night-shining coral tree.

Every night, the coral tree glows orange and yellow, like a fire tree and silver flowers. The Dragon King is delighted to see this and wants to reward him. General Yuan wants nothing else but his essence and blood, so that he can become a dragon turtle.

Long Pingjiang was surprised.

I didn't expect that General Yuan was also a dragon.

Half relative.

Wu Cangshou continued, "In Xiguili, turtles, tortoises and abalones all exist and live in harmony, but General Yuan is different. His head is long like a crocodile, his mouth is curved like a hook, his back has sharp edges, and his temperament is fierce.

We call it the Black Crocodile. When it comes to fighting, there is no turtle that can match it. Even the ironhead fish, which is known to be the best fighter in the world, can be rivaled by the Black Crocodile.

Moreover, this species of turtle is long-lived and grows up normally and steadily. It can live to be a hundred years old, and when it becomes a monster, a hundred and fifty or sixteen is no problem. For those who belong to the dragon family, their lifespan is doubled, so over two hundred is not uncommon.

But this General Yuan is quite strange. As a black crocodile, he has extraordinary talents, but he does not practice other methods, but instead practices the method of the twenty-four solar terms. "

Long Pingjiang was puzzled.

"What is the 24 solar terms system?"

Wu Cangshou patted the back of his armor.

"Look, how many are there in the middle of my carapace?"

"Three dollars."

"How many squares are there around the three pieces?"

"Ten grids."

"How many are there in the circle outside the ten squares?"

"twenty four."

Long Pingjiang thought of the black tortoise shell that Liang Qu had buried at the bottom of the pond, and he had a vague understanding.

Tortoise shells have spirits and are good at divination...

"I still have twelve pieces of carapace on my abdomen, so I won't show them to you. According to the human race, there are three grids in the center of the tortoise pattern on the back of the turtle race, representing the three elements of 'heaven', 'earth', and 'man'; the ten grids around the three grids are the ten heavenly stems;
The twenty-four small squares outside the Heavenly Stems represent the twenty-four mountains, corresponding to the twenty-four solar terms in a year; the twelve squares below are the twelve Earthly Branches.

Therefore, the so-called twenty-four solar terms method is said to have been created jointly by the turtle tribe and the human tribe, but only the turtle tribe can practice it, and they must be turtles with the corresponding structure.

Those who practice this method absorb the twenty-four qi every four seasons of the year, and all of them will become stronger. It is said that the older they are, the stronger they are. Moreover, this method has the effect of prolonging life. A hundred-year-old tortoise can live to be one hundred and fifty or sixty years old. Unfortunately... there are few tortoises who practice it, and few who can achieve great success. "

"Why?"

“This method is extremely difficult to achieve success. In addition to natural talent, it is purely a matter of hard work. If you are less than a hundred years old, you will not be famous. Moreover, you need to adapt to it from a young age. In this way, the practicing turtle has no protection and is very likely to die young.

Moreover, when practicing, there are requirements for the position of the practicing turtle. Too much south or too much north is not good, and the changes in solar terms are not obvious.

Only the Huaijiang River area is the most suitable, so General Yuan should be the strongest since the birth of this method. "

"How is the strength?"

"I don't know."

Wu Cangshou shook his head.

"I don't know?"

"Practicing the solar terms method, one year older, one point stronger; ten years older, twelve points stronger. There is no obvious distinction between realms, and one must fight in order to determine who is stronger.

I only heard that once a big monster came to attack Pengze, which was equivalent to your human race's second-step grandmaster, and was knocked unconscious by 'General Yuan' with a palm.

As for the sacrificial offerings made by the people of Pengze...except for some special hobbies, 'General Yuan' was extremely sleepy and drifted with the flow, so much so that a mountain grew on his back, which was called 'Shou Mountain', and algae grew on his abdomen, which was called 'Algae Forest'.

Legend has it that those who climb Shoushan Mountain can prolong their lives and meet immortals. It is not known whether this is true or not, but it is true that "General Yuan" never opposed the court. The Dashun and even the Daqian dynasties always let it go.

I personally think this turtle is extremely ambitious."

Long Pingjiang originally wanted to ask what the hobby was, but he heard the second half of the sentence.

"Why did Lord Wu say that 'General Yuan' was extremely ambitious?"

Wu Cangshou shook his head.

"When he was young, he offered a rare treasure and obtained the blood of the Dragon King. After that, he resolutely practiced the solar terms method of water grinding, using his own black crocodile advantage to make up for the lack of strength in the early stage. It can be said that he set the path for the next few hundred years when he was young. What do you think?"

Long Pingjiang seemed to be thinking about something.

I heard it today and it really opened my eyes.

Without disturbing Wu Cangshou's rest, he immediately relayed the news he had learned to the elders.

The stars are high in the sky.

The waves are surging in Pengze.

Long Eying and Long Binglin walked out of the tent.
