Water Palace Fighting Dragon Turtle
When they returned to An Ding Village, Third Brother and his father came to thank them. Third Brother said,""Thank you for letting me reunite with my father!”
"Thank you, benefactor. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have been able to see Little San again."”
"Don't be polite, this is what we should do!" He Ran said. Do you know if there is a secret door leading to the other side of Wild Bear Mountain?”
"When I was in the village, I saw a strange carving near the right side of the chief's seat," said Little Third's father. The ground before the carving was very smooth. It's very likely the entrance to the secret door that the mountain bandits often enter. You might as well go and try. Perhaps you can find the switch and open the secret door.”
"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle!" He Ran said. We'll take our leave now!"
At this moment, Village Chief led the crowd to thank the three of them. Village Chief said,""Thank you for helping us chase away the bandits and saving the villagers so that we won't be harassed by the bandits in the future. However, who will help us chase away those more brutal demons in the future?”
He Ran was stunned for a moment, then said,"Actually, as long as everyone works together and has the courage to fight against the demons, we don't have to be afraid of them.”Shudu, the son of the village chief, agreed with He Ran's words. He proposed to gather all the villagers to form a militia to protect the safety of the village. For a moment, the morale of the people in Anding Village was high and they worked together. He Ran, Yang Kunshuo, and Jiang Ruhong also left this place with peace of mind and went to the wild bear stockade to find the secret passage again.
When they arrived at the Wild Bear Camp, they found a carved switch beside the throne. After activating the switch, a hidden door was opened. The three of them entered a secret passage through the door and arrived at another field. Sure enough, this place was filled with demons and devils, and they would often launch surprise attacks on people in some of the forest corridors. However, He Ran and the other two were extremely powerful and did not put these demons in their eyes at all. They subdued the demons and devils along the way and soon arrived at Linhe Town.
They went to the inn to settle down, and then He Ran went to inquire about the situation in the town. He Ran learned from the waiter that there was a place called Yanyue Workshop and a place called Treasure Gathering Casino in the town for fun. Then, he learned from the townspeople that there were demons on the Wan River. He Ran asked the man about the demons, and the man said to him,"You must know that the heavens have the virtue of cherishing life. In the east, there are Jiao Kang Di Fang Min Wei Ji, in the north, there are Bull Girl Xu Wei Shi Bi, in the west, there are Kui Lou Wei Ang Bi Zui Shen, in the south, there are Jing Gui Liu Xing Zhang Yi Zhen, and in the sky, there are twenty-eight constellations, thirty-six bird constellations, sixty Hua Jia constellations, and seventy-two Yao constellations. You should know that there is a cave in the south of the town that leads to the cave at the bottom of the lake built by the Eight Trigrams Master in the East, West, and North. It can lead to the cultivation place of the ancient immortals! Legend had it that it was an immortal with a snake's head and a human's body. However, there were no more caves in the south of the town! Otherwise, I really want to see it!"
He Ran went back and told Jiang Ruhong and Yang Kunshuo about the situation. The two of them wanted to go to Wanhe to fight the demon beasts, and at the same time, they wanted to go to Yanyue Workshop and Treasure Gathering Casino to join in the fun. Thus, the three of them set off and arrived at Treasure Gathering Casino first. As expected, it was crowded and very lively. As the three of them were observing the surroundings, a burly man suddenly walked up and shouted at them. The three of them were startled. That burly man actually wanted to ask him for silver to bet. He Ran naturally refused and refused sternly. The burly man immediately became angry and said,"No! I think if I don't give you a taste of my power, you won't put me in your eyes!”As he spoke, he waved his palm. He Ran moved his body to avoid this palm and then advanced to counterattack. Once the fight started, the people in the gambling den were so scared that they fled in all directions. The burly man was not a match at all. After a few moves, he was beaten by He Ran until his nose bled and he left in a sorry state.
After beating the burly man away, there was only one person left in the casino. That person repeatedly begged He Ran and the other two for mercy. He Ran told him not to come here to gamble again. That person hurriedly said,"Yes, I am! I was wrong! Even if the bandits rob and kill, I still have my parents, wife, and children. They are my greatest wealth! I have to work hard and take care of them in the future! Thank you! It made me see the true colors of these fair-weather friends!”He Ran was also very happy and asked him to leave quickly. Before he left, that person said,"Before I go back to work in the fields, I have something to tell you. The mother of Yanyue workshop is a little strange.”
The three of them heard his words and were also excited, so they went to Yanyue workshop together. However, when they arrived at the door, they realized that this was a brothel. He Ran and Yang Kunshuo asked Jiang Ruhong to stay outside and the two of them went in by themselves. However, Jiang Ruhong refused and insisted on going in with them. They had no choice but to go in together. When they were inside, the mother came up to greet them.""Ya! Rich old man, you brought a female companion. Do you want me to find a more beautiful girl to serve you?”He Ran nodded in agreement. The mother smiled and said,"Hehe, thank you for your support, sir. You guys can choose for yourselves!”
Mother ordered people to bring them to find Lan 'er, and the servants brought the three of them to Lan' er's room. They drank and talked to Lan 'er as guests and realized that Lan' er was very depressed and different from other prostitutes. After questioning her, they felt that Lan 'er had been wronged. Therefore, the three of them revealed their identities and asked Lan' er to speak frankly. Lan 'er said,"I have a request. I wonder if you can agree to it?”
"Please speak, Miss!" He Ran said. If it is within our ability, we will not refuse!”
Lan 'er said," I was born into a medical family and was familiar with the theory of herbs since I was young. Unexpectedly, when I was picking herbs in the mountains, I was kidnapped by bandits and sold to my mother. Now that I see that you are all chivalrous people, I wonder if you can save me from here?”
"Do you have a place to go?" Jiang Ruhong asked.”
"I only wish that this Yanyue Workshop be destroyed, and that I accompany the ancient Buddha with green lamps for the rest of my life," Lan 'er said.”
The three of them also sympathized with her and decided to take her away. However, at this moment, the mother suddenly barged in and shouted,"Slut! I knew you had ulterior motives, and it was as expected! Today, I will cut open your heart and sacrifice it to my ugly concubine!”
"Demons!" Lan 'er was shocked and furious. You asked many sisters to bewitch the Xuanyuan gang's chivalrous men. If there were any who did not obey, they would cut open their hearts and eat their blood. If it were not for the fact that I was weak, I would have personally avenged my sisters!”
"Since we've encountered such a thing, how can we sit back and do nothing?" He Ran said. Miss, please move aside and watch us deal with the ugly woman!”
The three of them quickly turned around and attacked the demon. The demon let out a strange cry and revealed its true form. It was an ugly demon that was fighting with the three of them. However, the three of them were highly skilled in martial arts and knew the method of subduing demons. After a few rounds, Jiang Ruhong used a talisman technique to trap the ugly female concubine. Yang Kun channeled his strength into his saber and immediately slashed the demon into two. The demonic qi immediately dissipated.
After killing the demon, the three of them rescued the women from Yanyue Workshop and left. Lan 'er thanked them again and again, and even gave them a Soul Returning Pill that was passed down from their ancestors. They couldn't refuse it, so they could only accept it. Then, they asked people how to get to the Wan River. They learned that only the mayor had a boat that could lend them to the river, so the three of them went to the mayor's house.
When the mayor saw the three of them and heard their self-introductions, he said,""The morals of this town are deteriorating day by day, and the hearts of the people are no longer the same as before. It's really worrying! And the leader of the demons, the Evil God, led many demons to kill humans everywhere. It was really annoying! Sigh! Now, even the Wan River had demons stirring up trouble, causing no one to dare to pass through the Wan River. How could this continue? If you're willing to remove the demons, I can lend you the boat at the northwest crossing!”
The three of them thanked the mayor and immediately set off. They came to the northwest ferry and saw an empty boat. He Ran said,"Get on the boat! Let's cross the river to the Great Linyang Swamp and scout out the demons!”The three of them boarded the boat. Yang Kunshuo was in charge of the boat as they slowly advanced. When their boat arrived at the Wan River, Jiang Ruhong said,""Eh? This water was extremely deep! "But there are no fish…" He Ran said,"It seems that this is indeed a place where water-kind demons appear!”At this moment, Yang Kunshuo shouted,"Be careful!"
The surface of the river in front of them suddenly rippled, and a huge creature rose from the water. It was the flood dragon turtle spirit of the Demon Dao. "What ship?" the monster shouted. How dare you barge in here? Looks like he's tired of living!"
He Ran stood at the bow of the ship with his sword and shouted,"So you're the one who caused trouble here!”
"Catch this demon, don't let it go!" Jiang Ruhong said.”
"Cut the crap!" the flood dragon turtle said. I told you all to go into the water!" Immediately, he used a yao art, and this yao art was indeed powerful. It immediately set off huge waves on the river, and their boat was quickly swept into the water. The three of them were helpless and could only be swept into the water along with the boat. Jiang Ruhong only shouted,"He Ran!" In the end, the entire boat disappeared into the river.
After an unknown period of time, He Ran woke up and found himself in a cave. There was a faint yellow fire around him. He got up and said,"Eh? What happened?" "He Ran, are you awake?" Yang Kunshuo suddenly called out.”He Ran turned around and saw Yang Kunshuo standing not far away. He said,"Yes, is Yang Kunshuo alright? Where's Jiang Ruhong?"
"It's fine, she hasn't woken up yet!" Yang Kunshuo said. Look here first!"
He Ran walked over and said,"It's very humid here!"”
"If this place isn't at the bottom of the pool, it's definitely not far from the water!" Yang Kunshuo said.”He Ran agreed with him. At this moment, Jiang Ruhong finally woke up. She opened her eyes and shouted,""Where am I?"
He Ran came forward happily and said,"You're awake too!" Did anything happen?"
"Strange!" Jiang Ruhong said. Didn't we get sucked into the water? Why aren't we injured at all?”
"Fortunately, everyone is fine," He Ran said."I just don't know where we are.”
Jiang Ruhong suddenly pointed behind her and said,""Look! There's an altar there!" He Ran also saw it, so the three of them quickly walked to the altar. There was a pot on the altar, and nothing else.
The three of them stood in front of the altar for a while. Suddenly, they heard a voice say,"Are you wondering why you are here?”Everyone was stunned and immediately looked around, but they didn't see anyone. Then, they heard the voice say,"There's no need to look! In front of you!" The three of them looked at the altar and knew that it was the pot talking. He Ran mustered up his courage and walked up to the altar, asking,"You are…"
"I was the one who rescued you from the bottom of the water.”
"Not only can you speak, but you also saved us…" Jiang Ruhong said.
"That's right, because I'm a treasure that was born when Nuwa created the world-the Demon Purification Gourd!”
"Nuwa?" He Ran was startled. Demon Purification Gourd?"
The Devil Refining Gourd said," Goddess Nüwa created all the living beings in the universe, but she found that most of them were ferocious and cruel. In order not to disrupt the balance of power between heaven and earth, he forged a bronze pot that could purify the brutal aura. I hope to use the refinement of the pot to sublimate the overly cruel demon beasts and demons to maintain harmony in the world.”
"Why did you save us?" He Ran asked.”
"Because of the Ba-Serpent!" the Devil Refining Gourd replied. You should know that Goddess Nüwa has the body of a celestial being and cannot stay in the mortal world for long. Therefore, when Goddess Nüwa returned to the Heavenly Realm to recuperate, she assigned the Ba-Serpent to guard the demons in the teapot to prevent them from taking the opportunity to destroy the earth. The Ba-Serpent and I have waited here for thousands of years. However, not long ago, the Ba-Serpent had ignored Nüwa's request and released all the demons in the teapot before disappearing without a trace. I wanted to find the Ba-Serpent and ask him why, but I couldn't move freely. When you were dragged into the water, I felt a strong sense of righteousness from your bodies, so you will definitely be able to help me.”
"How can we help you?" He Ran asked.”
"You only need to bring me along and help me retrieve all the demons that have escaped," the Devil Refining Gourd said. There was a path to the southeast of the stone room. If one walked out of the stone room and headed east, they could return to Linhe Town. However, they had to turn on the switch on a fire platform. If they headed south, they would be able to reach the former residence of the Ba-Serpent, the Water Temple. There were two guardian beasts there, and he could learn about the Ba-Serpent from them.”
The three of them agreed to help the Lianyao Gourd, so they took the Lianyao Gourd down and put it into their bags. Then, they followed the Lianyao Gourd's instructions and went to the northeast direction. As expected, they found traces of being touched under a platform fire here, so He Ran twisted the mechanism. After waiting for the sound to pass, Jiang Ruhong pointed ahead and said,"Look, a new passage has appeared above. Let's go and try where it leads to.”The three of them quickly walked into the passage and followed it. After walking for a long time, they saw a light in front of them. It turned out that they were already in the wilderness outside Linhe Town.
Thus, the three of them returned to the town, planning to borrow the boat from the mayor to go to the Water Temple again. The three of them came to the mayor's house and He Ran said,""Mayor, can we borrow your boat again?”
"No, no!" The mayor said. Last time, I lent the boat to you, but I didn't expect to find the wreckage of the boat by the river the next day. It took me a lot of effort to repair the boat! I still have to worry about what happened to you guys? Fortunately, you're all safe and sound. No matter what, I won't lend the ship to you again! This is too dangerous!"
"But we haven't defeated the turtle yet, so how can we give up halfway?" He Ran said.”
"What turtle?" the mayor asked. The demons of Wanhe, right? It was a blessing to be safe. He didn't want the demon to fly into a rage out of humiliation and come to the town to hurt people again! Alright, you guys can walk around the town by yourselves. I won't entertain you anymore!”
The three of them had no choice but to leave. They thought for a while and decided to return to the cave to find another path. After the three of them returned to the cave, they searched for a long time and finally found another secret passage. As expected, this secret passage led to the Water God Temple. After they entered the Water God Temple, they found two stone lions in the temple. Jiang Ruhong saw them and said,""These two stone lions look very special!”
Suddenly, a voice came from the stone lion,"Who disturbed my sleep!"
The Devil Refining Gourd immediately replied,"Stone lion, it's me, the Devil Refining Gourd!"”
"So it's the Lianyao Flask. Why did you bring an ordinary person here?" the stone lion on the left said.”
"I want to borrow their power to find the Ba-Serpent. Do you know where it is?"”
"Ever since the Ba-Serpent left last time, saying that he wanted to throw the human world into chaos, he hasn't returned!”
"Let the human world be in chaos!" He Ran said. Why would the Ba-Serpent do this?"
"This starts from the great war between the Gods of Good and Evil and mankind eighteen years ago! The great battle eighteen years ago had caused both the demons and humans to suffer heavy losses. The elites of both sides had lost their lives in this battle. In the end, even the good gods, evil gods, and the Xuanyuan hero were missing. Following that, the humans relied on their sharp weapons to wipe out the remaining demons on a large scale, invading their shelters. Some pitiful demons ended up here, complaining to the Ba-Serpent! The Ba-Serpent knew of this situation and was extremely pained. He kept praying to Goddess Nuwa for a solution. And while the Ba-Serpent was waiting, the yaomo's forces were gradually disappearing and were on the verge of extinction! The humans were becoming more and more rampant, often slaughtering demons indiscriminately. The Ba-Serpent was very angry, but the Heaven Realm still did not respond. Thus, the Ba-Serpent decided to personally take action to seek justice on behalf of the demons and demons, vowing to demand revenge from the humans!”
The stone lion on the left continued,"In the end, humans brought this upon themselves!" When he had strength, he looked down on everything. When he had no strength, he wagged his tail like a dog begging for mercy! That's why this situation has happened!"
He Ran was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he felt something in his heart. At this moment, Jiang Ruhong suddenly said,""Listen, the roars of wild beasts are coming from the cave!”"Let's go and see what's going on!" He Ran said. Farewell, both of you!" The three of them left the Water God Temple and returned to the cave.
When they reached the depths of the cave, they saw a huge creature appear before them. Jiang Ruhong said,"Eh? Wasn't this the demon from Wanhe? Why is he here?"
"Could it be that it was the one who roared just now?" He Ran asked.”
When the turtle saw the three of them, it was also quite surprised and said,"I didn't expect the three of you to be so lucky. You actually didn't die. Then watch as I, the Flood Dragon Turtle, take care of you!”After saying that, he stretched his neck and opened his mouth to bite the three of them. The three of them immediately spread out and used their magic power together. Although the flood dragon turtle had great strength, its power was greatly reduced on land. He Ran used the Tiger Subduing Talisman, Yang Kunshuo, and the Demon Subduing Technique. Coupled with Jiang Ruhong's assistance from the side, the flood dragon turtle was actually unable to withstand the siege of several powerful moves. The flood dragon turtle was not at a disadvantage. It immediately rushed forward. The three of them could not stop it. It rushed past them and broke through the stone wall to escape through another secret passage.
"That turtle runs really fast!" Yang Kunshuo said.”
"I want a braised turtle!" Jiang Ruhong said.”
He Ran laughed, and the three of them chased after him. It turned out that the other end of the secret passage was a different world. They walked into the depths of the cave and found a strange talisman on the wall. He Ran said,"What a strange talisman. It looks like some kind of seal. Unfortunately, I don't know how to undo it.”They didn't waste time and continued to move forward. Soon, they found the exit. When they left the cave, they were already in another field.
