Chapter 223 The Yuan Clan (1)

At this time, Zhu Yuanliang was talking to another man carrying a tortoise shell next to Xianying Palace not far away.

Seeing Pu Zixuan follow the two of them up the stone steps, Zhu Yuanliang looked overjoyed and said, "Oh, it looks good!"

Pu Zixuan gave Zhu Yuanliang a sad smile and his eyes fell on the complex. The Xianying Palace covers an area of ​​about one acre, and the six buildings of varying heights are all black tiles and white walls, presenting a typical Gan Hui style, which is picturesque and picturesque with the waters of Poyang Lake next to it.

The building facing the stone steps is the Master Temple of Xianying Palace, which is divided into two floors. Other annexes are located on both sides of the main temple, with temples and residences. Zhu Yuanliang was standing in front of the main temple with a man, greeting the three of them.

When the man saw the three of them coming up, he stepped forward and said, "Elder, Navi, you are here."

At this time, the woman officially introduced to Pu Zixuan: "Okay, let me introduce it. This is our elder Tabu, my name is Navi, and this brother is Gertige, we are all a family. Your friend Zhu Yuanliang is rescued by this Gertige."

"Wait, wait, what are these names? Are you all aliens?" Pu Zixuan was confused.

Navi responded: "Well... we are considered aliens, but you don't have to worry. We are definitely not bad people. You will understand better after you have been with us for a while."

"What? I'll spend some time with you?" Pu Zixuan asked with a frown.

At this time, Zhu Yuanliang couldn't help it and asked Getieg, "That's right, you just said that when the elders come, they will explain everything to us. Now that they are here, can we start, right?"

It seems that although Zhu Yuanliang talked with Getige for a long time, he never talked about the point.

"Hehe, young man, don't be anxious." Tabu repeated his tune again, sat on the top of the stone steps, and said slowly, "I just arrived. When I take a break, I will come with you one by one."

"What should I be anxious?" Pu Zixuan couldn't help but say, "I have important companions who are not sure where to go, and I am very anxious in my heart! You told us not to be anxious, but we have been stumbled around. How can you make me feel at ease?"

Gertige shouted, "Rareless, how could you talk to Elder Tabu like this?"

Tabu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Haha, it's okay, we have something to ask for others." Then, he rolled up his trouser legs and said to Pu Zixuan: "Come on, young man, come and help me beat my legs."

Pu Zixuan said in a daze: "Old man, is this a bit too much?"

Gertige shouted again: "Pu Zixuan, let alone the elders, even if you are your life-saving benefactor, it would not be an exaggeration to let you beat your legs, right?"

Seeing that Getige's tone became harder, Zhu Yuanliang couldn't help but argue for Pu Zixuan: "What kind of life-savior? I was so surprised. We overturned the boat in the devil's waters, why did you happen to appear? I also suspected that the vortex is the magic you used. Look at you two strange turtle shells, not monsters, my surname is written upside down!"

"You..." Getieg couldn't help but raise his hand and wanted to beat Zhu Yuanliang.

Zhu Yuanliang straightened his back and said tit-for-tat: "What's wrong? Are you going to fight? Come on, I'm so angry that I don't know who to vent my anger!"

"Hey, hey, hey..." Navi, who was standing beside him, hurriedly persuaded him, "It was so good that just now, why did you fight? I want me to say, you two men are going to fight. When the elders finish talking, they will fight slowly! Now, let's talk about the main business first." The elder also said to Xi Ni: "Okay, OK, Getieg, don't be rude. Two little brothers, I asked you to beat your feet, not to send you to the lower-class people's way of life, but to start from here, there is no way to start. Come, Pu Zixuan, come and beat and see."

"Okay, just beat me, what are you afraid of?" Pu Zixuan bent down and used his right hand to beat Tabu's calf. There was immediately a "dong" and "dong" sound, as if hitting a hard object. He immediately wondered, "This... elder, why are your legs so hard?"

Ta Preached: "Okay, that's what we can start talking about. Since you are a purifier, you must be a person who is used to all kinds of strange events. Next, no matter what you hear, you don't have to make a fuss."

In response to this, Pu Zixuan and Zhu Yuanliang were both mentally prepared and nodded in agreement.

Tabu sighed and said, "As you see, we are indeed monsters, a group of turtles who have lived in Poyang Lake since ancient times."

Pu Zixuan said in a daze: "What, the ape clan? No matter how you think, you don't look like monkeys, right?"

Ta preached: "Hehe, it's not the ape's 'api', but a kind of turtle. Since ancient times, there have been two major races in Poyang Lake. In addition to our turtle tribes, there are also turtle tribes. Whether before or after the demonization, both of our turtle tribes feed on fish and shrimps in the lake, and the well water does not interfere with the rivers, and even some friendship. But since the earth-shaking battle of Poyang Lake five hundred years ago, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and ghosts who died in battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang have been wandering around the Laoye Temple and continuing their battle. This place has become extremely strange and has become a famous 'devil water'. Our turtle tribes agreed to use this water as the boundary, the turtle tribes live in the north, and the turtle tribes live in the south. Although they still do not interfere with each other, they have become alienated and even hostile because they have some contact with Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang..."

Getieg interrupted and said, "Zhu Yuanliang, do you understand now? That vortex is caused by the soldiers' souls, it's nothing to do with us!"

Zhu Yuanliang blushed and said, "I understand, don't I just talk about it? You are all good people, no, they are all good monsters, okay?"

Navi glared at the two of them and said, "Don't interrupt, listen to the elders continue."

Tabu asked the two of them, "Do you know why this temple is called 'Dingjiang King Temple' and that tower is called 'Dingjiang Pagoda'?"

"I don't know, elder, please speak."

"When the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang were fighting on land, Zhu Yuanzhang was defeated because his troops were far inferior to Chen Youliang. One day, Zhu Yuanzhang retreated here and was blocked by Poyang Lake. There were no ships available in the lake. He was about to end the same as the King of Western Chu, suddenly a giant turtle swam and used his turtle shell as a boat to cross Zhu Yuanzhang across the lake. This led to the story of his defeat to victory later. The giant turtle that saved him was my father, Kenmu."

Pu Zixuan looked at his feet without hesitation and said in surprise: "What? It turns out that the place where we stood was where Zhu Yuanzhang was rescued by the giant turtle. And that giant turtle was the elder's father?"

"No," Tabu pointed to Xianyinggong behind him and said, "After Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, he did not forget his father's grace to save his life, so he named him "General Yuan". He built the Dingjiang King Temple and Dingjiang Pagoda by the lake to commemorate his achievements and sent the descendants of the Zhu family to protect him for a long time. The common people like to call the prince "Master", so the descendants have always called this temple "Master Temple". My father was very happy, but after being overthrown by Li Zicheng in the Ming Dynasty, he was so angry that he couldn't get sick. He passed away two years later. Now, his statue is still in that temple, and our turtle tribes come up to worship every major day."

"Really? It's so awesome!" Pu Zixuan patted Zhu Yuanliang on the shoulder and said, "Let's go and have a look."

The two walked to the main temple and saw four cursive characters "Dingjiang King Temple" engraved above the gate. There was a pair of stone lions on both sides of the temple, and stone tablets were embedded on the walls. The right is "The Record of the Temple of General Liyuan of Dingjian Zuo" and the left is "The Record of General Xianyingyuan of the Temple".

When he walked into the temple, a giant stone turtle was lying on the ground, stretching his four toes, carrying a large stone tablet that was more than 100 feet high, three feet wide and one foot thick, with seven golden characters "Add to the title of General Yingyuan" written on it, shining brightly.

At this time, the three turtle clans also came behind them, and Tabuluo proudly introduced: "These seven words were written by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty himself."

Pu Zixuan and Zhu Yuanliang looked back and saw a living giant turtle lying behind him, opening their mouths and asking, "Look, do you think I look like my father?" He didn't react for a moment, and instinctively shrank his body in fear.

"Haha, sorry, I scared you. I did this just to prove that what I said is true." The giant apologized and then changed back to the previous elder.

Pu Zixuan calmed down and said, "I understand, because of that war, you formed a deep friendship with Zhu Yuanzhang and his descendants, but why should you be enemies with the turtle clan?"

Ta preached: "The waters of Poyang Lake have not always been the same size. During the Tang Dynasty, Poyang Lake was blue and endless, which led to the famous poet Wang Bo writing the famous line "The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, and the autumn waters are the same color as the sky". However, since the early Ming Dynasty, the waters of Poyang Lake have shrunk sharply, and the population of our two tribes has continued to increase, and there has been a shortage of food. Therefore, turtles often cross the devil's waters to find food. Although it is okay to find some food, they gradually conflicted with us because of their deep friendship with Chen Youliang, and even hope to kill all our tribes and occupy the entire Poyang Lake!"

Pu Zixuan said indignantly: "Really? This is really a bit too much!"

Navi gritted her teeth and said, "It's true! And one of the croakers is very powerful. It will use a magic trick to make the other party's body stiff. Over the past year, more than ten tribesmen have been killed by it. About two months ago, the croakers jumped over the devil's waters and came here to find food. Elder Tabu personally came forward to argue with him. However, he used the magic trick and his body became stiff!"

Pu Zixuan asked: "So, what will happen if you get hit with this magic?"

Gertige said with a brow, "The people in this demonic gentry will start to become stiff from their feet. After 9981 days, the stiffness will reach the head. At that time, the whole person will turn into a piece of wood and die!"

Pu Zixuan said in surprise: "So, the one left for the elder is only about twenty days. You must find the demon and let him remove the demonic magic!"

Ta Preached: "No, but our turtle clan and turtle feet are evenly matched. Once the war begins, we are not sure of winning. Then we think of asking for help from the purifier. When you appear at this time, it must have been sent by God to help us!"

After saying that, Tabu bowed deeply to Pu Zixuan.

"What, do you want me to help you attack the turtle clan?" Pu Zixuan said in a panic, "But, but... I have something important to do, and I must find my companion as soon as possible, so I have no time to do your business!"

"No, the purifying messenger, you will definitely help us!" Ta said, "Because your two companions were taken away by the turtle tribe after they fell into the water! They are extremely xenophobic races. If I guess correctly, your companions, their bodies have begun to become stiff now!"

"What? Xiaojiu and Xiaoshu fell into the hands of the turtle people?"
