Although Su State is also a country by the sea, Xiuzhentang Academy is right on the coast, but Ten Thousand Birds Island is surrounded by the sea. This is the first time that Song Pingzi feels the unavoidable sea breeze.
The big black dog and Uncle Zhang's grandson ran to the beach to pick up his father's returning fishing boat.
This is something that children do every day. The children are still young and of course they don’t know when their father will come back. It is just the daily inner expectation of a child on the island. Song Pingzi is waiting at Uncle Zhang’s house while learning. While mending fishing nets, they chatted about one thing or another.
It seems like I have returned to the time in Shuxiangyuan, where I have no worries about the world. Apart from being "forced" to practice, every day is simple and happy.
When the tide came in, the big black dog and the child came back together. One person and one dog were covered in white salt particles. Children can also understand that this big black dog is probably afraid of being disliked by the children and has not cleaned up the salt particles on his body.
There is very little fresh water on the island. There is only one fresh water well on the whole island. Apart from cooking, they rarely use fresh water. They have deep feelings for the sea water that has fed their ancestors for generations. So after coming back, Uncle Zhang's daughter-in-law cleaned the children with a broom and left a small basin of water to clean their faces.
The big black dog stared blankly, feeling neglected. Song Pingzi ignored this guy, and the big black dog had no choice but to quietly hide in the dark behind the house to clean himself and pee along the way.
But within a few breaths of disappearing from sight, a miserable dog bark was heard coming from behind Uncle Zhang's house. The big black dog jumped into the air with one leg crossed. Perhaps thinking that something was wrong, it fell to the ground again. It rolled on the ground several times.
What Song Pingzi heard from the big black dog's bark was an unexpected exclamation. Not knowing what was going on, he hurriedly ran over. Only then did he see the big black dog, which had already stood firm on all fours, facing one place, its tail raised high, and the hair on its neck standing on end.
Looking along the line of sight, something seemed to be arching upwards underground.
Uncle Zhang also noticed the movement on the ground. He ran from the front to the back of the house and saw the soil rolling outwards. "It's broad daylight. Is it haunted?"
"Uncle Zhang, it's okay. You go back to the front first, and I'll take a look at what it is." Song Pingzi said to Uncle Zhang, but his eyes never left the mound of soil that was churning from bottom to top.
Uncle Zhang did not leave, after all, this was the back of his own house. Suddenly there was earth turning up under the ground, so he probably didn't care.
Song Pingzi had no choice but to send a message to the big black dog and asked, "What happened just now?"
"I was peeing, and something on the ground pushed up, and it just hit my...stomach. It scared me so much that I had to hold back my urine." The big black dog cursed and told back, I'm really embarrassed to say that the mud that suddenly came up just now hit something that was peeing.
Not knowing what was underneath, Song Pingzi did not dare to use his spiritual sense to explore, but waited quietly. Just quietly raising his right hand, a spiritual energy turned into a sword and condensed in his hand, always ready,
The soil was still slowly turning outwards, as if something was about to come out of the ground. Song Pingzi was on alert, but he couldn't find any clues, and there was no spiritual energy fluctuation.
If it weren't for the earth turning outwards in bulges, bits of earth being pushed up bit by bit, and finally a pointed head emerging from the earth, he would have doubted whether he had seen it wrong.
After a few breaths, a pointed object like a conch spun out of the soil.
Song Pingzi and the big black dog were both stunned, what is this? Is there any treasure down there? It's so secretive.
From the moment this sharp thing appeared until a large section was finally revealed, it was really a giant conch, and now it was like a drill bit, constantly drilling upwards from the ground.
At this time, the mound was churning more violently, and a conch about two feet long was finally exposed, but it was connected to a stick wrapped in soil.
"Woof woof." The big black dog didn't wait for Song Pingzi to react, and without being polite at all, he started barking at the mound of soil.
As soon as the barking stopped, the strange spiritual weapon retreated instantly, leaving a not too big hole.
Uncle Zhang stared at all this with his mouth open. He was about to rush over to check, but Song Pingzi grabbed him and said, "Uncle, be careful."
Then he swung a palm that had been prepared for a long time, and the soil dug out of the ground was moved ten feet away, revealing a hole with a radius of less than two feet.
Just as he was about to take action again, a panting female voice came from the cave, "Is there anyone outside?"
After hearing the sound, Uncle Zhang's expression changed drastically. For an ordinary person, such a strange thing would naturally not be a matter of curiosity, but fear.
Song Pingzi was also very surprised, but he was convinced that the voice just now was indeed a woman's voice, and it was made under extreme fatigue. He motioned to Uncle Zhang to stand back and scanned the hole with his consciousness. He found a woman lying in the hole, breathing heavily.
Song Pingzi then walked to the entrance of the cave and took a look. The tip of a wooden stick in his hand was holding a large conch that they had just seen. There was still a lot of mud on the conch. He asked, "Who are you?"
"Pull me up first." The woman did not answer Song Pingzi's question, but said with a hint of impatience: "I am a student from Donglin... Donglin College."
In the Blue Star Continent, where strife is ongoing, only the super sects and the four major academies are safe. The woman may have noticed that Song Pingzi's tone of voice was different from ordinary people, so she reported her identity first.
Uncle Zhang had already taken a rope from the shelf next to him and handed it to Song Pingzi. Although Song Pingzi could easily pull the opponent out without a rope, he couldn't bear to refuse Uncle Zhang's enthusiasm. He tried it on his hand and it was still strong. It should be no problem, so he threw down the end of the rope and said, "Hold on, I'll pull." you come up."
"I have no strength." However, when the rope was dropped, a woman's weak voice came from below. It seemed that in order to save energy and also know that the person above was a cultivator, Song Pingzi listened carefully even though he was weak.
But this hole is too small. If he squeezes in hard, he won't be able to turn around. He can only hook the other person with his feet. But for someone who doesn't have the strength to hold the rope, it is obviously impossible for the other person to grab his feet and come up. And it's very dangerous to do this. It's not yet known whether the other party is really exhausted or just pretending.
"Dahei, go down." Song Pingzi said to the big black dog beside him.
The big black dog was obviously taken aback, and was very reluctant to let it go down to save a person who had just scared the person out of his pee. However, Song Pingzi had already said it, so he had no choice but to jump down. The moment he entered the hole, Ruyi decided to run, and his body changed. It became the size of a kitten and scurried behind the woman's feet. With a puff of air in her mouth and a puff of breath, the woman couldn't help but rush out of the cave.
As soon as she exited the hole, the conch in her hand fell out of her hands, and she turned around and burrowed toward the ground again, with a wooden stick spinning behind her like a tail.
Song Pingzi didn't expect that the big black dog didn't push the woman out slowly, but pushed the woman out of the hole so violently. He just stretched out his hand to catch the woman who was still rising, but heard the woman say anxiously while she was still in the air: " Quick, grab it."
"Hmm" Song Pingzi didn't rush to ask, and used his free hand to wrap his spiritual energy around the conch that was drilling downwards, imprisoning it in place. A hand pulled the woman's arm and let her fall to the ground.
However, as soon as the woman landed, she collapsed on the ground, revealing an oval face. Even though there was dirt on her face, she could still tell that she was a beautiful woman.
However, while the beauty was gasping for air at this moment, she could not maintain her image at all.
Uncle Zhang next to "Miss Zhu Waner" saw the person in front of him clearly and said in surprise: "Haven't you been away for several days?"
"Uncle Zhang, do you know her?" Song Pingzi asked curiously.
"Miss Zhu Waner came to the island about ten days before you, but it is said that she has been away quietly for several days. Why is she under my house like this?" Uncle Zhang was also a little surprised.
But obviously at this time, the girl named Zhu Waner was unable to answer this question. Not only does the whole person look exhausted, but the dry lips can also be seen as a bit dehydrated. The mental state may have been tense and suddenly relaxed, and he is already in a trance.
Uncle Zhang called his daughter-in-law and asked the sturdy woman to pick up Zhu Waner and go back to the house first to tidy her up. After all, it was indecent for a girl to lie on the ground.
Song Pingzi also handed Uncle Zhang a soul-raising pill and asked him to give it to his daughter-in-law to feed Zhu Waner and take it.
"Big black"
The big black dog that had just come up from the hole was shaking off the dirt on his body, but Song Pingzi arranged another errand, "What else is in the hole?"
The big black dog, which had not even thought to investigate, closed its eyes and had no choice but to turn around and rush down the hole again.
