Chapter 78: Hekou Three Claws
Du'an Yan is located in Minshui, about 100 miles west of Shu County, and forty miles west of it is Qingcheng Mountain. Hundreds of years ago, there were often water ghosts and water monsters. Since Zhang Tianshi killed eight ghosts and men on Qingcheng Mountain, the demons and ghosts in Du'an Yan were shocked and many of them moved elsewhere.
The entire city is Anyan, with three periods of history.
In the early days, Duanyan was still called the shui dynasty. The surrounding Di Qiang people were often harassed by demons in the water. At that time, the shui dynasty was under the command of the Minshui Dragon King, but there were many tributaries of the Minshui, and the water monsters and ghosts were mixed with fish and dragons. There were also many land monsters hiding in the water, which was difficult to take into account.
During the period of coordination, Li Bing, the prefect of Qinshu County, built a dam here, and the Dragon King also sent a demon general to cooperate with Li Bing to suppress the demon and control the water.
Hundreds of years after Li Bing's death, the situation in the storm continued to deteriorate. The Dragon King directly appointed a daughter to take charge of herself, namely the storm dragon girl.
During the Qingcheng period, the Tianshi Zhang Daoling destroyed the eight ghost commanders, and the Qingcheng Mountain Changdao Temple was promoted to one of the five roads and seven temples. Since then, Duanyan has actually belonged to the outer periphery of Qingcheng Mountain. It has continued to this day.
There are folk rumors that the demons and ghosts in Du'anyan are no longer there. The biggest reason is that "it is too close to Qingcheng and too far from Shu County."
The dragon girl stayed in Du'anyan until the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and met Li Qingxian, Sima of Yizhou. The dragon girl lived ashore and gave birth to Li Mi with Li Qingxian.
...
Standing on the Du'anyan embankment, Wu Qi and Li Mi stood side by side.
Li Mi loosened her fingers, and the paper hoist in her hand rose up in the wind, and instantly soared into the sky, leaving only a small black dot.
"Let Xiaoyuanzi take a look first and see if there are any suspicious people around you."
She closed her eyes for a moment: "There are only some outingers and fishermen nearby, and there are no monks or demons."
Li Mi reached out to Wu Qi: "Honor, give me a handful of spiritual rice."
"No spiritual rice."
"Then let's get rice."
Wu Qi opened the box on his back and poured a handful of rice from the clay pot for her.
Li Mi grabbed the rice, scattered it into the surging river water, then pinched her hands and chanted.
"I have made all my wishes in front of the pillow. I have to wait for the green mountains to rot. The scales and hammers are floating on the water until the Yellow River is completely dry."
"The sun is ginseng and the Beidou returns to the south. If you stop, you will not be able to stop. Let's wait until the sun is seen at the third update."
The water surface rumbling.
A strange big fish emerged from underwater.
It is more than 100 meters long, has a body that looks like a sturgeon, has a tail that looks like a fish, has a small beak, but is sharp and long, with fine teeth in the mouth, and is connected to the upper and lower parts. It has a nose on the forehead, a gray-bellied back and white, and has a delicate and smooth cortex.
Wu Qi saw clearly that it turned out to be a white week.
Bai Zu raised his head and shouted Yiwu Yiwu in his mouth.
Li Mi said seriously: "There are people returning to the mountains and rivers, so please help me pick up the food."
She looked focused at this moment, without any ignorance and confusion before.
Bai Zhou screamed and plunged into the water again.
Only then did Li Mi say to Wu Qi: "It is best to call the demons in the water to help. They also want to practice and become immortals. It is not harmful to be polite."
Wu Qi was a little surprised.
He thought Li Mi was staying at home for a long time and had some difficulties in contacting the outside world. He did not want to speak properly and was unrestrained.
Li Mi focused on looking at the water surface.
In less than a cup of tea, Bai Zucchi came out of the water again and contained something in his mouth.
Li Mi pinched the corner of her skirt with both hands and ran to the shore, took the thing from its mouth, and touched Bai Zhou's head again: "Thank you, Narcissus!"
Baiju rolled back and forth on the water, as if proud.
Wu Qi asked: "Do you still want to sprinkle rice?"
"Need not."
Li Mi whispered: "That's similar to greeting and knocking on the door, unless it's Lingmi... If it's sprinkled, it's considered to look down on it. Bai Zun has a strong self-esteem."
Wu Qi nodded: "I learned it."
Shirazuki Yiwu Yigo cried and dived into the water and disappeared.
Only then did Li Mi show off what he had in his hands to Wu Qi.
She held a vermilion dressing box in both hands, which was rectangular and deep rouge. The cover was in the shape of a lotus mouth. There was a beast-head handle on the top. The cover was embedded and locked by two silver claws with silver scales. Both silver claws were three claws, and the three-toed silver scales were also the symbol of the Dragon King in the water.
This is Li Mi's dowry, "the three-claw box of lotus mouth".
Li Mi pinched the beast's head and pulled it gently, raised the lid backwards, there was a smooth silver mirror inside the lid, and there was a pile of gold, silver and jade decorations in the box.
Wu Qi glanced at him and found that there were some emerald hairpins, honeysuckle ornaments, jade hairpins, combs, beaded earrings, tassel silver earrings, necklaces, and many small porcelain plates, rouge blush...
After all, his ancestors were the Minshui Dragon King, and the dowry of the wealthy daughter is indeed not bad.
Although Li Mi was a little reluctant to leave, he still handed the three-clawed box to Wu Qi: "It was made of Lingzhu Dragon Bamboo. It seems not big, and it has a universe inside."
Wu Qi whispered: "You keep the decoration inside for your own use. I only use the three-claw box to hold some things. You should pay attention and help me take care of it."
This is the dowry given to his daughter by the Dragon Girl, and it is the last wish of a deceased mother. Wu Qi will not move unless it is absolutely necessary.
"The Venerable is such a good person!" Li Mi's eyes lit up.
She held the dressing box in her hand, dipped her fingertips with rouge, and first tried the color on her slender wrists, and then she found a satisfactory color before applying it to her lips.
After a while, her originally purple-tangled lips turned into bright vermilion, and the previous strange feeling turned into a woman's soft and bright beauty.
Li Mi's upper and lower lips were stained, and she was very satisfied with the girl with red lips in the mirror.
Wu Qi asked her the important thing: "How much can I hold in the Hekou Three-Clawed Box?"
"It's not big inside, so it can only hold dead objects, one zhang high and five feet wide. But the boxes on the back of the Venerable, as well as the six treasures for demon subduing, etc., can be loaded into it."
Wu Qi approached the box and was immediately sucked in by the three-claw box.
He was delighted that this storage magic weapon relieved his daily troubles.
The only drawback is that only Li Mi can lock the Hekou Three-Claw Box, and it cannot be opened if it is locked. This is a magic weapon tailor-made for his daughter by the Dragon Girl. If you want to crack it, you will not be sacrificed again.
Wu Qi didn't care. His real core was the Impermanence Diagram, and his two blue and white swords on his waist would have to be carried with him.
He is quite at ease with Li Mi these days.
Having died once and having been lonely for a hundred years, she is no longer the girl in the boudoir sheltered by her parents.
"Honor, there are many winds and waves here, and it's still close to Qingcheng Mountain. Let's go back."
Wu Qi nodded.
Li Mi pinched the beast's head with her hand.
The three-clawed box suddenly swelled up, and it turned into a wide-mouthed lion-headed beast with horns. The lion-headed beast was about a foot long, with dragon scales on its four legs and back.
It turned its head and shook its head, took a small step to the shore, buried its head and sucked water, and then came back quickly.
Wu Qi looked at Li Mi: "The spirit of the weapon?"
"right."
Li Mi touched the head of the water-avoiding beast and said, "It is the magic weapon spirit of the Hekou Three-Clawed Box. It uses the body of the Dragon Bamboo to turn into a water-avoiding beast. The water-avoiding beast is also called the Pudou, and it is one of the branches of the Dragon Clan and has excellent water properties."
"Although it is not as good as a real water-avoiding beast, it can travel thousands of miles a day in the water, and travel two hundred miles a day every hour, and it is like walking on flat ground in any waves and waves. This is also my mother considers that my water is too weak, so she considers me..."
Li Mi looked at the water-avoiding beast, and her eyes were full of attachment.
Wu Qi asked again: "Can land run away?"
"Yes. But the speed is much slower than in the water, it hates dryness and heat."
Li Mi scratched the jaw of the water-avoiding beast: "Running on the ground, it will take only a hundred miles in one hour."
Wu Qi calculated with his fingers.
This three-clawed box of water-avoiding beast runs slowly on land than the armored horse talisman, but much faster than an ordinary horse.
Although the Arm and Horse Talisman is fast, it can make people tired.
If you ride a water-avoiding beast without these losses, you can practice and think along the way.
Wu Qi looked at Li Mi: "You fell into the water here when you left the city, and I think you were just to find the Hekou Three-Clawed Box, right?"
Li Mi scratched her chin with her index finger, feeling a little embarrassed: "At that time, I really just wanted to come and play with water. My parents didn't let me go into the water before, and the dowry was still very far away..."
Wu Qi was silent.
