It is said that the female snitch, after escaping from the Great Buddha Pavilion along the cliff, followed a mountain path all the way to the edge of the Minjiang River. She walked along the bank for about a hundred steps. The female snitch stood still and faced the Minjiang River and shouted: : "I've brought what you want. Come out quickly."
After a while, the river water near the female snitch's feet began to bubble a few bubbles. Slowly, more and more bubbles appeared. Later, the bubbles in the river started to churn, and finally it disappeared from the river. A dark turtle shell as big as a millstone was revealed in the churning river water. Under the shell was a huge old turtle. But upon closer inspection, this old turtle is a little weird. Its head looks a little bloated, its two front feet slowly climb up the shore from the water, and behind its body, there is one leg missing!
The female snitch had obviously never seen the old turtle in front of her. She took a few steps back, touched the dagger behind her waist with her right hand, and asked warily: "Did you invite me here?"
"Yes, it's me who invited you here!" The old turtle opened and closed his mouth and made a very strange sound from the depths of his throat.
The female snitch recognized the voice, but she still did not relax her vigilance. Her right hand was still on the handle of the dagger, and her left hand took off a baggage from her shoulder and said: "I have brought the demon-conquering pestle from the Buddha. You promised to give it to me." Where is the medicine for my husband’s illness?”
"That's right! Give me the magic pestle quickly!" There was a hint of excitement in the old turtle's voice.
"Give me the medicine first!" The female snitch picked up the bundle in her hand and took two steps back.
When the old turtle saw this, he was a little angry, and his voice became more and more weird: "Hurry up and give me the demon-conquering pestle first!"
"No, give me the medicine first!" Although the female snitch was a little afraid of the old turtle in front of her, she did not give in at all.
"...You...Okay..." The old turtle wanted to have a seizure, but finally thought about it and held it back, "I'll give you the elixir right now, go on!"
After saying that, the old turtle puffed up his neck, spit out something from his mouth and shot it towards the female snitch. Seeing that the old turtle was willing to give the medicine first, the female snitch hurriedly stretched out her right hand to take it. The female snitch was indeed very agile, and she easily caught the thing spit out by the old turtle in her hand. Just as she was about to take a closer look to check its authenticity, the female snitch suddenly found that she could no longer move her right hand. The female snitch was surprised and quickly tried to break it off with her left hand, but found that her left hand could not move at all.
"Hey, hey, hey!" The old turtle smiled ferociously, "Don't waste your efforts. You have been poisoned by my sand-containing poison. Within half an hour, your limbs will be numb and you will be unable to move." After that, the old turtle made the three legs crawl on the ground. Crawling slowly, step by step, he approached the female snitch who was standing still.
"You...what do you want to do?" The female snitch looked at the three-legged old turtle approaching step by step with fear, and struggled to squeeze out a sentence from her mouth.
"What are you doing? Of course I'm going to eat you!" There was a bit of cruelty in the old turtle's voice.
"Originally I just wanted to stun you and then eat you while you were unconscious, but since you are so uncooperative...I changed my mind. Now I want to keep you awake and let you see it with your own eyes while you are awake. I will eat you up bit by bit!"
Looking at the frightened expression of the female snitch, the old turtle seemed to enjoy this feeling. It pretended to hesitate and walked around the female snitch on three legs. As it turned, it said: "Where should I start? "
Then, the old turtle looked at the round buttocks of the female snitch, and his tone was full of lustful meaning: "Let's start from here..." After that, the old turtle opened his big mouth and bit the female snitch's buttocks. .
At this time, there was only a "whoosh" sound, and a stone flew out from the bushes on the mountainside. It was as fast as a meteor and accurately hit the sharp teeth in the old turtle's mouth. With a "swish" sound, one of the sharp teeth in the old turtle's mouth fell out. On the ground, I immediately saw blood pouring from the old turtle's mouth. The old turtle threw his neck angrily and looked towards the bushes, only to see a young man in shabby clothes but with a handsome face standing proudly in front of him. This man was Xu Shouguang!
"It wouldn't be fun if such a charming female cat thief turned into a ruined girl after being bitten by a monster like you!" Xu Shouguang joked.
The female snitch heard this so clearly that her face turned red to the roots of her ears. She wanted to scold Xu Shouguang for being a slut, but her mouth was tingling and she couldn't even speak.
The old turtle glanced at the broken tooth on the ground and became furious instantly. He shouted hysterically: "You bastard, don't be so arrogant. I'll ask you to walk inside my belly soon!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the old turtle's belly pressed against the ground, his neck retracted into the shell, his three legs bent to gather strength, and then he suddenly kicked his legs, and the turtle shell the size of a millstone was like a huge stone, hitting Xu Shouguang. Although the old turtle seemed clumsy, the speed of the blow was indeed quite high. The turtle shell roared towards Xu Shouguang with the sound of wind, but in the eyes of Xu Shouguang, who was agile and agile, this was nothing. I saw Xu Shouguang exerting force on his feet and jumping upwards. The height was not more than a point, but not a point less than that. He just jumped over the old turtle that hit him. When he jumped above the old turtle, Xu Shouguang tapped the turtle shell with his toes. The old turtle changed its direction and inserted itself diagonally into the soil on the ground. Xu Shouguang turned over gracefully and landed steadily. On the ground.
The old turtle used three legs at the same time to finally pull himself out of the soil. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Xu Shouguang leaping into the air, punching him with both fists. From Xu Shouguang's movement skills just now, the old turtle knew that the young man in front of him seemed to have some skills. When he saw the fists coming, he shrank his head, neck and limbs, and completely put himself into the turtle shell. Xu Shouguang was unable to withdraw his fist in time, and punched the hard turtle shell. Although the jade ring finger could break the defense of demonic energy, the turtle shell was really hard. Xu Shouguang was so painful that he burst into tears.
"You stupid turtle! Come out and fight me for 300 rounds!" Xu Shouguang cursed.
The old turtle never fell for this provocative trick. It huddled in the turtle shell and said angrily: "I won't come out, what can you do to me?"
"I'll show you what I can do to you!" Xu Shouguang didn't tolerate it. He kicked the turtle shell over with one kick. Then he put his right foot on the edge of the turtle shell and kicked hard. The turtle shell became like a top. It spun quickly. Xu Shouguang, who was outside the turtle shell, was happy to see this turn, but the old turtle inside the turtle shell was sad. It was turned to pieces, and his stomach was churning. Saliva flowed out of his mouth, but he was poured in again. The old turtle coughed due to the choking in his nose.
"Young hero, have mercy on me, young hero, have mercy on me!" The old turtle hiding in the turtle shell seemed to be tortured to death, and he begged Xu Shouguang repeatedly for mercy. Seeing that the old turtle was weak, Xu Shouguang stepped on the old turtle's belly armor with force. , the rotating turtle shell finally stopped.
"You can forgive me. Please tell me one by one why you want this vajra and who was behind it. If there is any secret in it, I will save you immediately."
"I know, I know, thank you young hero. I must know everything and tell you everything. In fact, I want this Vajra to fulfill my filial piety and save my ancestors..."
"Ancestor?"
"Yes, my ancestor was an old turtle in the Tongtian River. Two hundred years ago, he used a monk to cross the river. He only asked the monk to help him ask when he could cultivate himself to become a man after meeting the Buddha. But how could he expect this monk? After arriving at Leiyin Temple, I completely forgot what my ancestors had entrusted to me. When the monk obtained the scriptures and returned to the Tang Dynasty, he passed by the Tongtian River. My ancestors took the trouble to go to him again, but when asked if the monk had ever When I asked the Buddha about the matter of cultivating one's moral character, the monk hesitated and remained silent for a long time. After my ancestor asked again and again, the monk said that he had forgotten it. Suddenly, my ancestor became so angry that he dived directly into the water. I no longer cared about the life and death of the monk. Afterwards, my ancestors thought that the monk was the younger brother of the King of Tang Dynasty and was loved by the Buddha. He was afraid that he would be blamed for throwing the monk into the Tongtian River, so he simply abandoned the Tongtian River. I moved here to practice the demon path. But only a hundred years later, another monk came to bring bad luck to me. After a great battle, my ancestor was defeated by the monk's magic weapon, so he was suppressed by the monk under the water. That monk was hateful. Afraid that the array would loosen over time, a giant Buddha was built by the river to reinforce the array, and this Vajra is the eye of the array."
As Xu Shouguang listened, he couldn't help but wonder if this monk was Master Xuanzang. He often heard that Mr. Shu mentioned the Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty in the teahouse. Xu Shouguang was thinking about it, but unexpectedly, the throat of the old turtle in front of him swelled up quietly, and then when Xu Shouguang wasn't paying attention, a ball of fine sand shot out from his mouth with a sudden sound. When Xu Shouguang heard the sound, he looked up and saw a black thing flying towards him. In desperation, Xu Shouguang quickly used the Immortal Step, leaning slightly across his body like a roly-poly, trying to avoid it. Get over this blow.
Xu Shouguang was suddenly furious. He was about to go up and beat the old turtle, but suddenly he realized that he couldn't move! Looking at the old turtle in front of me again, he stretched out his long neck and tried hard to prop up the turtle shell on the ground, trying to turn himself over.
"Xiao Bai...Xiao Bai..." Xu Shouguang called Xiao Bai's name with difficulty.
"What's wrong..." A lazy voice sounded in Xu Shouguang's ears. It seemed that Xiaobai had just gone to sleep again.
"Xiao Bai, I can't move...what's going on?" Xu Shouguang asked hurriedly when he saw the old turtle in front of him was about to turn over.
"It's just a monster, a very weak monster..."
"Then...why...can't I move?"
"I told you it was a monster, so of course you fell into its insinuations and couldn't move..."
"How to solve it?" Seeing that the old turtle, no, the turtle had turned over, turned around and approached Xu Shouguang step by step.
"Blood on the tip of the tongue..." Xiaobai said impatiently.
Xu Shouguang was not in the mood to complain about Xiaobai at the moment. He just heard the blood on the tip of his tongue and bit it without hesitation. A fishy sweetness suddenly filled his mouth. At this moment, the beast was already in front of him, and he said viciously: "Before I take away that old guy's cultivation, it would be good to have you as an appetizer!" After saying that, he opened his big mouth and bit Xu Shouguang's neck. A mouthful of blood spurted out from the tip of his tongue, and it just hit Xie's face, enchanting its eyes. The creature quickly closed its neck and used its two short forelimbs to wipe the blood from its eyes.
Xu Shouguang hurriedly tried to move, but found that he was still unable to move. With a mouthful of blood in his mouth, he asked inarticulately: "Why doesn't it work..."
"Ouch! You are so stupid! It insinuated that it would spit sand poison on your shadow. Naturally, you have to spit blood from the tip of your tongue on your shadow..."
The beast wiped the blood on its face and licked its paws with its tongue. It seemed that the smell of blood stimulated it. It looked at Xu Shouguang, its eyes full of greed and desire. At this time, Xu Shouguang also tried hard to twist his numb neck, turned his head to one side, pouted at his own shadow, and spurted out a mouthful of blood from the tip of his tongue. Blood sprayed on the shadow. Xu Shouguang instantly felt the tingling all over his body recede. He tried to curl his fingers, hey! You can move again!
When the insect saw that Xu Shouguang had been cured of its sand poison, its expression suddenly changed. It hurriedly jumped up, wanting to take advantage of Xu Shouguang's inability to move at the beginning of his recovery, and bit Xu Shouguang's neck. Xu Shouguang was as nimble as a monkey, so how could he be bitten so easily? Xu Shouguang dwarfed his stature, squatted down and easily dodged it, and then punched the fat chin above his head. The originally open mouth closed instantly, and a clicking sound came from its mouth, which was endless. The beast took a punch and fell to the ground, with blue blood oozing from its mouth. Then it struggled to get up, opened its mouth, and spat out a mouthful of broken teeth.
Xu Shouguang followed up with a lunge and kicked the side of the face again, causing the side of the face to become concave and deformed, and his eyes were cloudy. Before the snake could cry out in pain, Xu Shouguang turned around and kicked the snake on the side. The body, which weighed several hundred kilograms, rolled over several times on the ground and finally stopped at the feet of the female snitch. down.
At this moment, the beast was unable to move, and with its remaining eye, it looked at Xu Shouguang, who was like a god of murder, walking towards him step by step. The beast actually spat out a mouthful of blood on the female snitch's shadow, and detoxified the sand poison for the female snitch. . The female snitch resumed her action, pulled out the dagger, and was about to pierce the beast's neck, but she heard the beast's hoarse voice say: "If I die, your husband will definitely die too!"
As soon as these words came out, the female snitch immediately stopped the falling dagger. When the beast saw this, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart. He laughed twice and said to the female snitch: "Kill that boy for me, and I will give you medicine immediately." !”
After hearing this, the female snitch clenched her teeth, looking at the abominable monster in front of her, listening to the footsteps of Xu Shouguang getting closer, and thinking about her husband who was lying on the bed dying, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.
At this time, Xu Shouguang rushed forward, snatched the dagger from the female snitch's hand, then raised it high and stabbed it hard into the neck of the snake. The female snitch suddenly woke up and exclaimed: "No!", but it was too late. The dagger in Xu Shouguang's hand had already penetrated deeply into the carotid artery of the snake, and blue blood spurted out instantly. The beast struggled twice and then stopped moving.
"This monster is cunning and good at deceiving people. It's best to get rid of it as soon as possible!" Xu Shouguang said to the female snitch in front of him.
The female snitch fell to her knees on the ground, staring blankly at the motionless corpse in front of her, and said slowly: "Young Master's stab was quite satisfying, but I just took pity on my husband-in-law..."
Xu Shouguang did not go to comfort the female snitch. He just sat down on the dead turtle shell and asked, "Tell me about you first. Why did you listen to this monster and steal the Vajra?"
The female snitch sat on the ground, and after a while she slowly said: "My name is Ye Sanniang..."
"You are the thief Ye Sanniang who suddenly disappeared ten years ago!" Xu Shouguang was surprised.
Ye Sanniang nodded slowly.
Ye Sanniang was adopted by the thief saint aunt from a stolen sect since she was a child. She even learned the ability to fly over walls and fly over walls from her. She has been working as a thief in Jiazhou City since she left school. Unlike other snitches, Ye Sanniang only stole from officials and squires, and every time she would leave a note at the owner's house, which read: "Ye Sanniang thanked the owner for the gift." The government and the squires hated her so much. This Ye Sanniang was offered a heavy reward, but unfortunately she was so good at light skills that she was so elusive that no matter how many officials were dispatched, they could not be captured.
But Ye Sanniang said that every time she stole something, she would sell the stolen goods and exchange them for money to help the poor. Once there was a drought and countless victims poured into Jiazhou City. Ye Sanniang set up a porridge shop at the street corner and gave porridge to the victims every day. One day, when Ye Sanniang was serving porridge, there were too many victims, and they were all vying to squeeze in. Among the people pushing and shoving, Ye Sanniang accidentally slipped and fell towards the hot pot. to the past. Seeing that she was about to fall into the pot, at this critical moment, an arm wrapped around Ye Sanniang's waist. Ye Sanniang looked up and saw a scholar with a handsome face. The scholar pulled Ye Sanniang up, and Ye Sanniang quickly saluted and thanked the scholar, but the scholar bowed his hands and said, "I admire you for your high righteousness, girl!" He looked at the crowd of victims around him and said: "There are so many victims. It's hard for a girl to come here alone. Why don't you come and help her with porridge? I'm doing my best."
Since then, the scholar came to the porridge shop every day to help, and the two gradually became familiar with each other. It turned out that this scholar's name was Wei Zhuang, with the courtesy name Duanji. Although he was born in a family of officials, his family was already in decline. Wei Zhuang admired Ye Sanniang's heroism and kindness, and Ye Sanniang was also attracted by Wei Zhuang's deep talent. Soon the two got married. From then on, Ye Sanniang stayed at home all day long. Be a snitch again.
Wei Zhuang likes to write poems and lyrics. One morning, during the Cold Food Festival, Wei Zhuang saw Ye Sanniang getting up early and dressing up, and he was immediately inspired. He came behind Ye Sanniang, hugged her with his arms, and then sang:
"The clear dawn turns into a cold food day,
Willow bulbs curl up among the flowers,
The roller blind goes straight out of the painting hall.
Point out the first blooming peonies,
As the sun rises high, it still depends on the Zhulan,
I am speechless and hate the remnant of spring. "
When Ye Sanniang heard this, she knew that Wei Zhuang had done it for her, and she felt very unhappy, so she snuggled into Wei Zhuang's arms. But unexpectedly, Wei Zhuang suddenly screamed behind him, his face instantly turned blue, foaming at the mouth, and he fell to the ground. Ye Sanniang panicked. She hurriedly helped Wei Zhuang to the couch, then went out to find the doctor. But the doctor shook his head after looking at it, and he didn't know the cause of Wei Zhuang's illness.
After having no choice but to send the doctor away, Ye Sanniang knelt down in front of the bed, took Wei Zhuang's hand and put it on her cheek, crying her heart out. At this time, a strange voice came from nowhere and called her name. .
Ye Sanniang was startled and looked around hurriedly but saw no one. Ye Sanniang shouted: "Who, why are you pretending to be a ghost? Come out!"
The voice ignored her and just said to herself: "Your husband-in-law is poisoned by rhubarb poison. This poison will slowly invade his internal organs, and eventually he will die from intestinal piercing and rotting..."
Ye Sanniang was shocked when she heard the sound. She didn't care where the voice came from and asked hurriedly: "God, is there any cure?"
"Since I can see the cause of your husband's illness, I naturally know how to treat him!"
"That's great, please ask the gods to help!"
"It's not difficult to save him. It only takes one dose of medicine, but..."
Ye Sanniang heard the meaning of the words and hurriedly said: "If the gods have anything to ask the slave family to do, just ask, the slave family will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Very good! There is Lingyun Temple in the east of Jiazhou City. There is a large Buddhist pavilion in the temple. There is a large stone Buddha statue in the pavilion. There is a dark room on the chest of the Buddha statue. There is a treasure hidden in the dark room, called the Vajra Pestle. Go and get this Vajra Pestle. Come to me, and I will save your husband."
Although Ye Sanniang had doubts in her heart, seeing Wei Zhuang on the couch in great pain, she had no choice but to nod in agreement. This was the scene where the female cat burglar broke into Lingyun Temple at night.
After Ye Sanniang told the whole story in detail, she thought of Wei Zhuang again and couldn't help crying. Xu Shouguang couldn't help but feel sorry for him when he saw it.
"Actually, the rhinoceros poison in her husband's house was put by the monster in front of him. All things in this world are mutually reinforcing and the antidote is also in this monster. Just take a drop of his heart's blood and give it to his husband, and it will be cured in the future. Get well." Xiao Bai's voice came to Xu Shouguang's ear.
Xu Shouguang was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly turned over and turned over the corpse of the monster. He held the dagger in his backhand and stabbed it hard at the heart of the monster. With the blessing of Haoran's righteousness, the dagger easily penetrated the monster's belly armor. Xu Shouguang then pulled down, and the monster's heart was exposed. Xu Shouguang aimed at the atrium and stabbed it down, and the dark blue heart blood immediately spurted out. Xu Shouguang quickly took out the water bag, poured out the water inside, moved closer to the atrium to receive the heart blood, and filled up less than half of the bag.
"Just a drop of my heart's blood will be enough..." Seeing that Xu Shouguang still had no intention of taking back the water bag, Xiaobai said with disgust.
"Be more prepared and be prepared!" Xu Shouguang said. He didn't take the water bag back until it was full, and plugged it with a stopper.
After a while, Xu Shouguang stood in front of Ye Sanniang with a water bag filled with his heart's blood, "How can you believe the words of an evil spirit? Even if you do what it says, how can it sacrifice itself to save you?" He took away his own painstaking efforts.”
After that, Xu Shouguang handed the water bag to Ye Sanniang and said, "This is the blood of that evil spirit. You can bring it back and feed it to your husband. He will be cured soon."
After hearing what Xu Shouguang said, Ye Sanniang's eyes suddenly became lively. She took the water bag and felt it was heavy. Then she asked with some confusion: "Drink all of these...?"
Xu Shouguang nodded seriously. Seeing Xu Shouguang's determination, Ye Sanniang also believed it. She knelt down on her knees, bowed to Xu Shouguang, and said, "Thank you so much for saving my life. I will always remember this in the Ennu family." In my heart, if my benefactor finds any use in the future, Sanniang will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Xu Shouguang remembered the heroic style that the storyteller often said, so he turned around silently and tried to say in a calm voice: "It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning. Go and save your husband as soon as possible."
After hearing what Xu Shouguang said, Ye Sanniang thought to herself that he was indeed a chivalrous person, so she bowed again and got up to go.
