I saved the world after raising turtles

Gu Suli felt a chill, and his first reaction was to get out from here.

But since the predecessors left the road signs here, he still suppressed his impulse and continued to move forward.

Walking to the end of the cave, you will see a stone talisman plate.

The talisman disk is circular, and around the center of the circle, circle after circle of patterns are engraved.

On both sides of the talisman plate, in the corner of the cave, there are also two skeletons sitting on both sides. These two skeletons are completely humanoid, which proves that the previous skeletons that are similar to them are also human bones.

Gengchen walked around the cave wall and said, "There is no other way, these stone walls are solid!"

Gu Suli took a flashlight to look around. His eyesight was excellent, and he saw the patterns painted on the cave wall behind the stone talisman plate.

"Is this a painting?" Gu Suli asked.

The pattern on the cave wall is very similar to a human figure, who is sitting cross-legged, with an eagle parked beside his knee.

Gu Suli frowned, and beside the eagle was engraved the word "卍" supported by lotus petals, which he could recognize as the symbol of Mount Jiuhua.

Nowadays, Buddhism is prevalent, but there are still temples for practicing Dharma, only the Zen temple in Mount Jiuhua remains.

"Even people who have never been in touch with Buddhism have generally heard the story of the Buddha cutting meat to feed the eagle." Gu Suli said, "Chan Master Jiuhuashan left such a pattern on the cave wall. Could it be that he wants to tell us that only meat can be cut?" Is it possible to pass?"

Luo Yuanxu looked at the talisman plate, and his eyebrows frowned.

Gu Suli said again: "I found that the first level of the secret realm is always related to the strange beasts guarded in the secret realm. Since this secret realm is guarded by gluttons, it is reasonable to pass the level with flesh and blood."

Then he summoned the Xuanming Sword, intending to slash his own arm.

Gengchen said nervously: "Don't, you wait first!" Its little dragon's eyes showed panic for the first time, "There are so many bones here...you don't want to strip yourself of the flesh!"

To be honest, Gu Suli really thought about this possibility.But this is just the first secret realm, and the first secret realm is so big, it doesn't look like a secret realm.

"I guess those people are not monks who came in from outside." Gu Suli said, "Since it is an allusion of cutting meat and feeding eagles, it should be that we should contribute to them in order to save them." The blood essence of monks is also comparable Ordinary people are far more powerful.

With a swipe of the hand, the opening is easily cut.

Blood dripped on the talisman plate, gradually covering the patterns on the talisman plate.A strong suction pulled Gu Suli and the others into the amulet. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves standing at the entrance of the village again.

The sky was getting gray, and on the same country road, there was an extra locust tree at the intersection, and a crow with black feathers and black beak stood on the dead branch, watching them with its cold eyes.

Under the locust tree, an old woman was sitting next to a whetstone, sharpening an iron rod.The "clang clang" sound made by rubbing the iron rod and the whetstone against each other caused small bumps to appear on the listener's skin.

Gu Suli walked around the neighborhood first to confirm that there were no street signs, and then turned to look for the old woman: "Grandma, what are you doing?"

The old woman gave him a sideways look, revealing a face full of dimples - Gu Suli had seen many old people over a hundred years old, but none of those old people had deep creases on the old woman's face.like being cut

came out the same.

"I'm grinding the needle for you." The old woman said kindly, "If you want to move forward, you have to leave something for me to keep. Heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney... eyes, nose and mouth whatever."

Gu Suli couldn't help but glanced at Luo Yuanxu, seeing that Luo Yuanxu's expression was not as serious as when he saw the talisman plate before, his thoughts changed sharply, and he said, "Then if I leave something behind, can I get it back later?"

The old woman smiled strangely and said, "If you left nothing wrong, of course you can get it back."

"Then I have to think about it." After Gu Suli finished speaking, he sat down on the root of the locust tree beside him.

The old woman didn't urge him, but just sharpened the needle in her hand, humming, as if she was singing.

Gu Suli listened attentively, and after listening for a long time, he only heard "golden boy, silver boy, copper boy" and "iron body and iron heart".

Geng Chen said: "The iron rod in her hand... seems to be covered with a layer of mithril?"

Gu Suli asked: "What is Mithril?"

Geng Chen said: "Mithril is a very strong metal, because the raw material must be refined with silver, so it is called Mithril... If it is Mithril, it will not be finished after 800 years of grinding. In that world, monks would use mithril to increase the durability of their weapons. As long as it is not intentionally damaged, it will not be a problem to pass it on for several generations."

"So, isn't she doing useless work?" Gu Suli said.Then why did she say she was grinding needles for him?He thought she was going to grind out a murder weapon, and then use the murder weapon to take away the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys he wanted to leave behind.

Geng Chen muttered: "I don't know about this, you ask Luo Yuanxu, maybe he has a clue?"

Gu Suli really looked at Luo Yuanxu.

Luo Yuanxu: "...I don't know."

Seeing Gu Suli's disappointed eyes, he added: "She shouldn't be here. The monks who came in before you should have passed this level and solved all other difficulties." gone."

Gu Suli's eyes lit up: "In other words, maybe this is just a puzzle?"

If the old woman really wanted to drop some organs here, it might put his life in danger.Those who came in before them would never leave such hidden dangers for those who came after them.

Gu Suli thought for a while, then asked the old woman: "Grandma, you just said that you were grinding needles for me, but why did you sharpen them for me?" , there is no need to wrap Mithril on it, right?

The old woman said slowly: "This is the rule in our village. After I finish sharpening the needle, I can return your things to you... If I don't sharpen the needles one day, then you have to keep your things for one day." by my side."

Gu Suli shuddered in his heart: "Then if I don't leave anything—"

The old woman twitched her lips and said, "If you don't leave anything behind, then I won't let you into the village. This is the agreement we made earlier."

Gu Suli thought to herself, it seems that she regards them as the same group of people who came in earlier.

That's right, although they are now at different levels in the secret realm, they are all in the secret realm after all.

The crow on the tree gave a long cry, flapped its wings awkwardly, and flew away.

Gu Suli looked up and saw Li Beiyuan also appearing at the entrance of the village.

Standing at the end of the path, staring at his side in horror.

Luo Yuanxu was standing next to him, because the tree roots were limited in size, so he was sitting, but Luo Yuanxu was standing, his robe embroidered with silver water patterns half-swayed to the floor, grand and gorgeous.

"It's really unexpected." Li Beiyuan said almost sarcastically, turning his eyes back to Su Li, the sarcasm became even heavier, "Nephew Gu Xian, my son trusts you so much, but you have failed his trust..."

Gu Suli didn't understand him at all: "What are you talking about?"

"Jing Rong said, your demon cultivator boyfriend is dead."

Li Beiyuan summoned Suzaku Shenhuo again, and said: "I don't think he is alive and well? It seems that you are ready to cheat... stop talking nonsense, let him fight with me first!" In his eyes A sharp light flashed, "Everyone says that water can overcome fire, but if fire overcomes water, it will evaporate. I want to see whether water can overcome fire or fire can overcome water!"

After rushing up, he fought with Luo Yuanxu.

Gu Suli looked stunned. It so happened that at this time, the old woman under the locust tree slowly put down the iron rod in her hand, put up her frail body that seemed to be blown down by the wind at any time, and walked into the village.

Gu Suli looked at Luo Yuanxu and then at the old woman, gritted his teeth, and followed the old woman into the village.

Luo Yuanxu and Li Beiyuan obviously had the upper hand in the fight. Although water does overcome fire in practice, they will definitely not lose for a while.

The old woman returned to the village, got into the deepest house in the village, picked up a golden bronze figure in her arms, and walked out again.She lovingly wiped the dust off the bronze figure, obviously she couldn't hold it anymore, but she still carried it out of the threshold forcefully.

Panting heavily, sweat flowed from her hair to her neck.

However, she just stroked her sweaty hair, and continued to walk towards the path with the bronze figure in her arms.

Gu Suli remembered the words that the old woman had hummed earlier. "Golden boy, silver boy and copper boy", "iron body and iron heart".

What did the old woman want to do when she suddenly brought out such a bronze figure?

Gu Suli didn't rush to help the old lady, but followed her silently, waiting for her to be unable to support herself, or asking for help from herself.

But the old woman acted as if she didn't know that he was behind her, and moved the bronze figure to her side of the frosted stone abruptly.

Picking up her usual iron rod, she ground it vigorously against the whetstone.

"Clang...clang...clang..."

One after another, the noise almost pierced the eardrums of people.

Afterwards, Gu Suli saw the old woman pressing down on the bronze figure with a polished iron rod.

"Keng...Keng...Keng..." The clear but inexplicably sharp sound continued.

Gu Suli felt numbness in his hands, he rolled up his sleeves, and saw that the skin hidden in the sleeves had turned red.

Gu Suli suddenly realized something, and looked at the bronze man!

The old woman was pressing the bronze man's arm with the whetted iron rod!For some reason, the bronze figure remained motionless, and even the color became brighter, but Gu Suli's arm seemed to be rubbed head-on by an iron rod.

First it was red and peeled, and then the soft skin was worn away by the iron rod, and a few bright red blood beads leaked out.

The old woman is still grinding!

Gu Suli's skin quickly changed from oozing to bleeding, and finally the whole area was red, as if there was no skin left.
