Jiang Lingxi slowly looked back, and then met a pair of almost pure black eyes.
But the eyes were small compared to the creature before them. Without him, his body would be too big.
The head will now be stretched out to the height of an adult. The large and bulky limbs support the heavy shell, which is almost five meters long. It suddenly looks like a car that can be seen everywhere on city streets.
Although these eyes did not express aggression, and turtles are also known for their docile character, this was limited to turtles that were smaller than humans. To be cautious, Jiang Lingxi took two steps back without leaving any trace.
As a result, the other party slowly moved towards her again.
Jiang Lingxi: "..."
Are you targeting her or something?
Jiang Lingxi was inexplicably startled when she faced those pair of dark blue eyes that could be vaguely seen under the moonlight, with a hint of eagerness in them.
The steps that were originally planned to continue retreating stopped in place.
Even after a few breaths of silence, she took a step forward.
Now, with the help of the moonlight, she could even see clearly the mottled lines on the head of the big turtle in front of her.
When she found a scar almost as big as the mouth of a bowl from the lines that were engraved with the traces of time, she couldn't help but take a breath.
Wugui, who has lived for thousands of years, has never been seen, let alone heard of, even in her previous life, when she was the emperor and stood at the top of power.
But the creature in front of her, which had been recorded in history as a symbol of longevity, truly spanned a thousand years and reappeared in front of her.
She still remembers this scar.
Thinking about it, it must be her third year on the throne. The turmoil between the government and the public has just settled down, but this stability is limited to the capital. There are still voices in the local area that are dissatisfied with her proclaiming the emperor as a woman.
So she decided to visit privately incognito.
It was a real private visit incognito, the kind that even the court officials in Beijing planned to hide.
She originally planned to bring two people, one was Qing Yuan who was used to it, and the other was the captain of the Xuan Yu Guard. One to take care of and one to guard and protect is enough.
As a result, before setting off, Shen Moqing accidentally learned of her plan.
As a result, the team for private interviews expanded from three to four people.
This mysterious turtle was saved when she went on a private visit incognito and punished local corrupt officials for the first time.
Naturally, the Black Tortoise was not that big at that time, but it had lived for almost two hundred years. It had been raised by a family that had been practicing medicine for generations, and it took three generations of hard work to raise it.
Because many medicinal materials beneficial to animals were used in the process of raising them, black turtles were also called medicinal turtles at that time and the local area. The shells they shed have much higher medicinal value than those of ordinary turtles.
But because of this, he was coveted by others.
The local county governor had been addicted to drinking and sex for half his life, and his body was almost exhausted as he got older. He accidentally learned that there was such a medicinal turtle under his control, and he became obsessed with it and wanted to use the medicinal turtle to stew soup to drink it to prolong his life.
People who raise medicine turtles naturally don't want to do so. Although black turtles are just domesticated animals, after so many years, to their family, they have become no different from family members.
What's the difference between making black turtles stew in soup and killing their relatives?
The result of flat refusal was that the county guard found an excuse and the whole family was imprisoned in the state prison and sentenced to exile. The black turtle naturally became an ownerless thing.
When she arrived with her troops, Xuan Turtle's head had already been pressed to the ground. A big hole was made on his head and he was forced to bleed. The county guard stood aside and couldn't wait to pick up a bowl of warm turtle blood. He wanted to drink directly, but she pulled out her sword and wiped her neck with it.
It's a pity that the family was already in exile at that time, and their life or death was uncertain. She could only send someone to take in the dying Xuangui first and treat it.
After the Black Turtle was rescued, the whereabouts of the family could not be found. She wanted to continue her private visit incognito. It would be too conspicuous to bring such a big turtle with her, so she simply released such a big guy when she passed by a swamp.
Whether he lives or dies in the future depends on this guy's fate.
But she really didn't expect that after a thousand years, she would one day reunite with this mysterious turtle.
How could she not let her sigh at the wonder of the world.
When she watched Xuan Turtle leave, she did say that since she had already lived two hundred years, she might as well live a little longer, but she didn't expect that this guy lived for a thousand years.
All the swamps in those days have turned into deep lakes, and the changes in the sea are nothing more than that.
"If you think about it, you must be over 1,200 years old. Yes, you have lived a long enough time. After all these years, it seems that you can still recognize me. It seems that your IQ has also increased. "After Jiang Lingxi finished talking to herself, a sudden thought came to her, "Can you understand what I'm saying? If you understand, just nod."
Naturally, she nodded without waiting.
Two pairs of eyes, one person and one turtle, stared at each other quietly for a moment. The black turtle suddenly moved towards the lake. Jiang Lingxi suddenly turned her head to look at the forest behind her, "Who is it?"
Xu Zhao's voice came over, but he didn't come any closer, "It's me. Seeing that you haven't come back for so long, Xiao Jiang and I are a little worried."
Jiang Lingxi looked back at the figure of Xuangui quietly submerging into the lake, turned around and walked back to the road without hesitation, and replied as he walked: "I'm fine, I made you worry. The scenery here is very good, so I stopped to admire it for a while. "
When she turned a corner, she came face to face with Xu Zhao.
"It's okay. It's getting late. Let's go back and rest quickly. Although we won't be filming the show tomorrow, we will probably have to travel for another day."
Jiang Lingxi nodded and looked back at the direction where she was just standing.
She noticed early enough that Xu Zhao couldn't even see her from this angle, let alone the black turtle.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that she can't trust Xu Zhao's character, but that such a large black turtle is rare in this world. If it were to appear, with the speed of communication in modern society, it would probably not take more than a few minutes to spread throughout the country.
There was no shortage of humans who coveted it in the previous life, and there will definitely be no shortage in this life either.
Before she has enough ability to protect such a big man, staying unknown in this deep lake is the best arrangement for the black turtle.
The sound of entering the tent inevitably affected Xu Ai, who was sleeping soundly. "Why are you going out? Is it convenient for you to go? Why didn't you ask me to come with you?"
"I see you are sleeping soundly." Jiang Lingxi replied and untied her sleeping bag. As soon as she lay down, a furry ball came towards her.
Jiang Lingxi was about to reach out and wrap her arms around it. When the little guy was less than ten centimeters away from her, she suddenly stopped. At the same time, her little nose moved slightly, and her eyes looked over. Just a little more accusation.
It seems to be saying how can I provoke other animals when you have it.
Jiang Lingxi: "..."
She lightly touched the scar on the black turtle's head, and the little thing's nose was quite sharp!
