Chapter 496 Big River Turtle
Upon hearing the news, Chen Sangsang wished she could set off overnight, and even felt a little regretful that she had not followed them to Xihe during the day.
Fortunately, according to their information, Guo Jiaqu did not encounter the spirit snake. There is still time. God is giving her a chance!
At this time, the subordinate who reported the news added: "We also saw a large river turtle by the West River. It should be the river turtle spirit in the rumors. It was huge, with a shell over a meter wide. It was eating apples by the river. However, judging by the traces at the scene, those fruits seem to have been taken by the spirit snake."
Hearing this, Chen Sangsang muttered to herself thoughtfully, "So the spirit snake has been with the spirit turtle for so long."
However, it is not surprising, after all, they are all in Xihe.
"What?" Yue Hejiang turned to look at her, but he couldn't hear clearly because she spoke too softly.
Chen Sangsang immediately came to his senses and said, "That river turtle is actually a spirit turtle. It is quite spiritual and can bring good fortune and hide treasures."
"A treasure that brings good fortune?" Upon hearing this, Yue Hejiang's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Chen Sangsang with a burning gaze. At the same time, he felt a little complicated. After all, she had concealed a lot of information, and she had never mentioned this spiritual turtle before.
But he did not show his displeasure, as he wanted to understand the situation of the spirit turtle first.
Chen Sangsang nodded and said, "The spirit turtle can bring good fortune to people and likes to hide treasures, but it is far inferior to the spirit snake. If we are talking about helping people, it has to be the spirit snake."
Upon hearing this, Yue Hejiang's eyes became more complicated, and the subordinate next to him was even more shocked.
At this moment, Chen Sangsang was thinking more about the spirit snake, because in her previous life, the spirit turtle was far less famous than the spirit snake. She didn't know much about it, but what she was sure of was that the spirit snake was much more useful than the spirit turtle.
The so-called 'bringing blessings and hiding treasures' was people's evaluation of the spirit turtle in previous lives. It was said that it could bring blessings. Some people believed it, but there were also many people who did not. As for hiding treasures, it was that it hid some gold and silver in the deep river. If it was in a good mood, it would give some to people who were destined to receive it, so it became very popular.
Yue Hejiang asked her some more related questions, but Chen Sangsang didn't say much, because she really didn't know much about the spirit turtle, and there were some things that she couldn't say too much about.
Therefore, Yue Hejiang's dissatisfaction with her deepened, thinking that she was deliberately concealing the news, but due to the current situation, he finally gave in.
After some discussion, they decided to go to Xihe early tomorrow morning. Lianyun Mountain was guarded by his people, and outsiders could not enter the mountain. Moreover, the evil spirits in the mountain had not been driven out yet, so they had to arrange for a Taoist priest to go into the mountain and resolve all the dangers in the mountain before they could investigate the situation in the tomb.
This all takes time. Instead of waiting here, it is better to go to Xihe first to avoid any accidents.
The next day, after Yue Hejiang arranged everything, he took a group of people and went to Xihe with Chen Sangsang.
Today the weather turned sunny and the sun was shining. The originally slightly cool weather became hot again.
Outside Huijiang City, in an inn near Xihe River, Si He looked at the scorching sunshine outside and felt a little distressed. She really didn't want to go out in this weather.
Originally, she planned to go upstream along the Xihe River, but she received news last night that people from Yuehejiang seemed to have found traces of them again on the river bank nearby, so she came back.
Now she has also left people to keep an eye on the movements on the riverside, but it has been calm and nothing unusual has been found.
She thought about it and finally decided not to go out during the day and go out at night.
Half a day later, more news came that Yue Hejiang and Chen Sangsang hurried over from Lianyun Mountain.
Then I heard that they had people prepare a lot of fruits and vegetables and offer them by the river. Of course, the white and tender little pig was also there, but it was moved from its original location to more than 20 miles upstream.
Perhaps it was too hot in the afternoon, the river remained calm.
When night fell, Si He led his men towards the river.
After arriving at the place, Si He saw from afar that Yuehejiang had people set up tents near the river, and in addition to the three little pigs, there were indeed "offerings" of fruits and vegetables on the open space by the river. The officers and soldiers were guarding from a distance, paying attention to the movements on the river, but there was no fire burning by the river, and it was pitch black. Only a few bonfires were lit in a few open spaces far away from the river, adding some light.
Looking at this place, Si He's eyes became a little complicated. When she passed by here yesterday, she stopped for a while.
At this time, the guards around them discovered their group and immediately came over to stop them and prevent them from going forward.
Si He took a quick look and did not intend to enter their "territory". Instead, he rode his horse slowly along the path, heading upstream.
After walking about a hundred meters, just beyond the area they had marked, she dismounted and was about to walk towards the river when she saw these people coming to drive her away again.
"Fifth Madam, it is not appropriate to approach this place. Please leave."
The man in the lead was Yue Hejiang's guard. He blocked her way and prevented her from moving forward.
There were more than ten officers and soldiers following him, and it seemed that these people were dispatched from the city.
Si He looked at the man in front of her with displeasure and said calmly, "What if I insist on going over there?"
The man immediately reached out and grasped the sword at his waist, saying sternly, "That's an offense."
Yue Hejiang had specifically told them before that no outsiders were allowed to approach here, especially the Fifth Madam, and that tough measures could be used when necessary.
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards around Si He immediately drew their swords, and the atmosphere became tense.
At this moment, there was suddenly some movement in the river. Although the sound was not too loud, the martial artists were very sensitive and looked towards the river vigilantly.
Unfortunately, the night was too dark and the moonlight was dim. They could only vaguely see something emerging from the river, like a large stone sculpture.
This is the big river turtle!
Anyone who had seen the giant river turtle before recognized it immediately, but they never expected it to actually come back!
Si He narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at the big river turtle on the river surface. She was a little disappointed that it was not Mo Mo.
At this time, the big river turtle was floating vigilantly in the center of the river and had not crawled to the shore. After a day, it was still thinking about the fruit under the apple tree, so it took advantage of the night and swam over quietly. Unexpectedly, there were more people here!
Originally, it wanted to dive back into the river, but when it saw many fresh fruits piled on the river bank, it stopped moving, staring at the fragrant fruits, and hesitated.
It struggled in the river, paddling with its claws, but never got close to the shore. Its eyes sometimes looked at the people outside the river bank, and sometimes looked at a pile of fruits by the river. It didn't dare to move forward, but was reluctant to leave.
