"What do you think it is? It turns out to be an old turtle! Haha, you old monster, if you know what you are doing, I will capture you without any hesitation. If not, I will chop you into pieces and make soup!"
Holding the ancestral machete in his hand, the Wei Hao sword on his shoulder, and Jing Lei hanging on his waist, he was not afraid of this monster at all.
"You don't know how high the sky is, how can you be afraid of you if you have been cultivating for hundreds of years?"
"Haha, if you keep hiding, I really thought you were not afraid. You first came out to explore the wind, and then pretended not to be there. Now that you heard that I was going to drain the lake, you finally showed up. Old monster, what do you think this is?
I'm afraid... I'm still afraid."
Wei Hao, with a sneer on his face, was watching the mangy turtle on the shore and had already figured out how to braise it. In his eyes, this was not a monster. It was clearly a delicacy that nourished yin and yang.
The skirt of an ordinary old turtle is plump enough, but this mangy turtle probably weighs hundreds or even thousands of kilograms. If the skirt is cut off, it will not be stewed in one pot.
After thinking about it, Wei Hao wiped his mouth and swallowed.
The mangy-headed turtle saw it clearly in the water, and suddenly cried out in his heart: Kuye, a devil from this world has come to knock on his door, what should he do now?
"I have never taken anyone's life. You are a scholar, how can you kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"Fart! A whirlpool emerges from the flat lake, and the shoal turns into an abyss. It's such a good 'Peach Blossom Lake'. If it weren't for your mischief, how could the passenger ships be sucked into the shore?"
"Although I was reckless, I never harmed anyone's life. This is a lesson for the world!"
The old monster is also anxious. If the water is really drained, once it appears, it will have to fight with this "devil incarnation". Although it is a three-hundred-year-old turtle spirit, its magic power is also low, and it can still perform tricks in the water.
Come on, how can it be Wei Hao's opponent with its old arms and legs?
Moreover, Wei Hao has chopped up his godson "Wudalang", and it also knows that Wu Dalang is a mullet, born with ferocity and strength, and has scales as hard as iron. Only this reckless showman can kill Wu Dalang.
How could you not have the strength to chop off its turtle head?
"Um?"
Wei Hao hesitated for a moment, "Do you really mean what you said? Sure enough, you didn't kill anyone?"
"No, no, my family is in Taohua Village, so there is no reason to harm the village."
As soon as he heard that there was something going on, the mangy turtle immediately became energetic and said quickly, "If you don't believe me, just go and ask, how could Lao Chan ever kill anyone? Furthermore, this 'Peach Blossom Lake' was originally dug by Lao Wai three hundred years ago.
The water for irrigation comes from here, so I must have contributed to the benefit of others. You are a scholar, so you have to be reasonable."
"Well……"
Touching his chin, Wei Hao nodded slightly, "If it's true, it wouldn't be good to just kill you and stew you."
"..."
When the old turtle heard that this guy actually wanted to stew it, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and the entire lake rippled.
"I'll spare you for a moment while I go ask the villagers. If it's true, I won't kill you."
"Absolutely no lies!"
Heaving a sigh of relief, the mangy turtle thought to himself that he was a scholar and was reasonable.
It also complained secretly. If the feng shui of the place had not changed, it would not have come out to "make trouble". It also thought that the decline of the national destiny of this secular dynasty would lead to civil unrest.
It seems that there is only a slight change in the situation and the situation is fine.
Wei Hao asked the villagers behind him and found that all the people were gone and only Lao Tongsheng was sitting on the ground.
"I never thought that the old man would be so brave and not run away from anything he did not do. He is indeed a wise man with character."
"I……"
The village elder opened his mouth. He wanted to say that he was frightened, but now he couldn't move. The words came to his lips, but he didn't say them out after all.
The word "old senior" is really full of power and face.
Moreover, he had heard very clearly the conversation between Wei Hao and the monster just now. Knowing that the monster was already afraid of Wei Xiucai, he felt very confident.
"Old senior, since you are here, let me ask you this question. Is what this monster said true? Is it true that he has never killed anyone?"
"To be fair to Mr. Wei, although this passenger ship collided with the shore, no one lost his life."
"Oh? That's strange."
Wei Hao then turned around and asked the old turtle: "Old monster, why don't you kill people? I see that your godson has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth and looks like he wants to eat people. Why don't you do some beating of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys as a tooth sacrifice?"
"..."
The mangy turtle was also speechless, wondering what kind of rule it was that monsters must eat humans?
"To be honest, I only eat fish, shrimps, fruits and vegetables on weekdays. I don't eat people."
"Then why did it hit the shore again by a passing passenger ship?"
"I have been here for three hundred years. I dug the 'Peach Blossom Lake' and irrigated it to benefit this place. I have done my best, but the local people have not even shown any filial piety. As the saying goes, 'Filial piety is the first priority'. I have benefited this place.
At that time, the great-grandfather of the person next to you was not even born."
The old weirdo was very angry and confident, "Three hundred years of contribution and a small donation is not too much, right?"
"Old-timer, what were the cargo losses on passenger ships in the past?"
"Mostly rice, flour, grains and oils, fruits and vegetables, dry food and snacks, etc..."
"I see."
Nodding his head repeatedly, Wei Hao immediately admired the old turtle, "Old weirdo, what you said is right. There is no reason in this world for someone to work for three hundred years in vain. It's time to recruit some personnel."
"Yes, you are a scholar and you also know this truth."
"But if you take it without telling me, that's called stealing! No, it's not just stealing, it's robbery."
"Ah this..."
"However, everything happens for a reason. Humans and monsters have different ways. If you show up directly to ask for it, even the villagers will run away."
After Wei Hao finished speaking, he said to the mangy turtle, "In this way, I have the honor to serve as your guarantor. You can continue to benefit this place. The people of Taohua Village will build you a worship pavilion by the lake all year round."
If you want to eat seasonal fresh vegetables or fruits, you can go to the pavilion to relax, how about that?"
"Is such a good thing possible?"
The old turtle was immediately overjoyed. It would be great if he didn't die. If he turned into a pot of "bastard soup", wouldn't he have lived for so many years in vain?
"I, a dignified student from Wufeng County, why did I lie to you like a monster?"
Then he turned to ask the village elder, "Senior, how do you like this? After all, this Peach Blossom Lake was dug out by the old monster before my great-great-grandfather. The generations of descendants can also be regarded as being indebted to their predecessors. Just like
As the saying goes, 'Filial piety is the first of all virtues', if there is no Peach Blossom Lake, how can there be Peach Blossom Village?"
"What Prime Minister Wei said makes sense."
The village elder also nodded, thinking that as long as he was fed some fruits, vegetables, rice, noodles and snacks, it was really not worth it.
"As the saying goes, 'Don't forget the man who dug the well when you are drinking water'. The predecessors received favors, and the descendants will repay the favor. This is also filial piety."
"What Xianggong Wei said is true, what he said is true..."
So Wei Hao asked the old turtle to stay a little longer, and took the village elders back to the village to explain the matter, and then dug the gate again, and Qing Zhuang also covered the soil again, but this time it was different, it was for the elders of "Peach Blossom Lake"
