Chapter 16 The Words of the Old Turtle
A long time ago
There was a toad living in a dry well. It was very satisfied with the small world of its life.
There is water and mud here, and there are flies all day long, so there is no danger.
It is often complacent about this, thinking that there is no more perfect place in the world than its dry well.
But all this changed that day.
That day, an old turtle passed by here.
Toad warmly invited him to be his guest and boasted about his cave.
Unexpectedly, the old turtle laughed loudly and said that its vision was too small and it did not know how vast the world is.
Under the sky, there are green mountains and green waters, all over the world.
There is also a fairyland where people live without worries about food, drink, clothing and shelter, and are carefree and have good weather.
Everything there is as beautiful as flowers and dreams.
Hearing this, Toad felt ashamed and immediately longed for it.
It asked the old turtle, where is this fairy land and how to get there?
Old turtle answered with a smile: "Whenever you see a Buddhist disciple with a lotus on his head and nine-level flowers in bloom, follow him and you can get him."
Toad made a note of it, and from then on he stayed at the wellhead every day, waiting for the Buddha.
It can be done year after year, day after day.
From beginning to end, Toad never waited for the legendary Buddha.
Gradually, the toad went crazy.
From simplicity to luxury, from luxury to simplicity.
The fairy land in the old turtle's mouth made him unable to accept his smelly and crude dry well.
Since the fairy land cannot be reached, why not turn this dry well into a so-called fairy land?
As a result, all the beautiful things, even the passers-by, were stuffed into the dry well by toads to decorate its cave.
Toad is very hospitable and often holds large banquets just to get praise and recognition from its cave.
But a dry well, no matter how decorated it is, cannot become the fairy land that the old turtle talks about.
It originally thought that there was no hope of immortality in this life, but it didn't want to meet the Buddha's son.
After listening to the story of the toad spirit, Chen Ye's thoughts were already in a mess.
How could such a coincidence happen?
Is it possible that he is really a toad spirit, a son of the Buddha who has been waiting so hard?
But how can he be the so-called son of Buddha? Even this lotus flower is a method laid out by the Buddha who breaks the precepts.
Moreover, the story told by the toad spirit is a bit too strange, especially that old toad!
I mentioned an inexplicable fairy land casually, which made the toad spirit wait for the Buddha's son for who knows how many years.
Such a story is a bit too nonsense.
And in this troubled world where demons are rampant, is there really a so-called fairyland?
Chen Ye was deeply doubtful about this, and even couldn't believe it.
"Lord Buddha? Lord Buddha!"
The call of the toad spirit brought Chen Hao back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts.
At this time, the toad spirit looked expectant, as if he really thought that Chen Ye could lead it to the so-called fairy land.
Seeing its appearance, Chen Ye's expression became complicated.
If possible, he really wants to kill this monster to avoid future troubles!
After all, even if this toad spirit talks a lot, it can't change the fact that it eats people.
Some clues about this can be seen from the details at the bottom of the well.
The toad spirit itself did not hide this at all.
No matter what the story says, passers-by are stuffed into dry wells to decorate the cave.
I still invited Chen Yi to see the stone table that was said to have been carved by craftsmen.
All of this shows that Toad Spirit does not think there is anything wrong with this kind of cannibalism.
It is a demon, and humans are its food!
Chen Ye can understand this, but cannot accept it.
But this does not mean that Chen Ye really wants to kill the toad spirit because of this.
If Chen Bao wanted to kill all the man-eating monsters in the world, then it would be impossible for him to kill them.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves. In a troubled world where demons are rampant, Chen Hao is the outlier!
He just wants to live.
Killing the toad spirit can relieve the temporary hatred, but it has no meaning. On the contrary, by keeping the toad spirit, Chen Ye could get a lot of information about this world from its mouth.
This is of great help to Chen Ye.
"Are you really willing to follow me sincerely?"
For a long time, Chen Ye spoke in a deep voice.
At this moment, Chen Hao's bloodshot eyes were staring at the toad spirit.
Whenever the toad spirit behaves against his will, he will kill him without hesitation to avoid leaving any trouble.
"Lord Buddha, it is true that I want to follow you."
"Only by following you, Lord Buddha, can I go to the fairyland."
"As long as Lord Buddha gives me instructions, I promise to obey him, hehe."
The toad spirit has no idea about this. At this moment It has been immersed in the joy of finally being able to go to the fairyland.
At this moment, Chen Ye’s ears moved again.
At this moment, he actually understood the toad spirit’s thoughts!
Not surprisingly, the toad spirit did not lie. It was really planning to follow Chen Yi.
Chen Ye's pupils dilated slightly, obviously he didn't expect that his magical power could be so powerful.
Not only can you listen to all directions, but you can even understand the voices of others.
This couldn't help but remind him of the legendary telepathic ear.
Chen Ye didn't think about it carefully. The murderous intention in his heart gradually disappeared, and his emotions finally calmed down.
The demonic aura that had been lingering around him suddenly disappeared.
"You"
As soon as Chen Ye uttered one word, he fell into the mud because his condition was so bad.
Now, because of his continuous use of magical powers, his body is severely dehydrated and has even reached the point of dehydration.
He suffered a lot of injuries from the previous fight against the demon.
Now that the murderous intention has receded, the flesh and blood lotus has returned to calm, and the injuries accumulated previously have exploded together.
Chen Ye let go of Toad Spirit's tongue, and his eyesight turned black.
"Lord Buddha? Lord Buddha"
The cry of the toad spirit rang in Chen Bao's ears, but it became weaker and weaker.
Soon, Chen Ye's vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
A strong aroma of meat gradually drifted into Chen Hao's nose.
“Hiss, uh”
Chen Ye opened his eyes suddenly, and then he grimaced in pain because of the severe pain in his back.
“Lord Buddha, drink some broth!”
Seeing Chen Yi wake up, the toad spirit jumped out immediately, his expression full of concern.
It also has a large bowl on its head, which is filled with golden broth.
The broth is very tempting, full of color, flavor and flavor. Anyone who sees it will have their index fingers moved!
Seeing this situation, Chen Ye felt a little complicated for a moment.
Unexpectedly, after coming to this world, the first person who cared about his existence was actually a man-eating monster!
"You're really interested."
Chen Ye was not polite. Anyway, if you don't drink, it's nothing.
He then took the broth and drank it all in one gulp.
The broth is rich, mellow, silky and very delicious.
This is as good as the demon meat that Chen Ye has eaten.
Monster meat is usually very smelly, but this broth is different!
This can’t help but surprise Chen Ye. When did demon meat become so fragrant?
Wait! Could it be
Chen Ye seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils suddenly dilated.
He quickly looked at the toad spirit and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "What kind of meat is this?"
