Chapter 460 Stone Turtle Vision!

However, fairy grass is useless when the humidity is extremely high all year round.As if to confirm Xu Ling's words, as soon as the car arrived outside the village, I saw many old people sitting in wheelchairs or being supported by others, chatting under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

No one was too surprised to see Xu Ling's car.

The houses here are built on the hills, facing the river, and have a wide view.You can see many big ships sailing in the fog from a distance, and the sound of the siren soars into the sky!
"Strange, there are not many people in the village." Boss Hu drove forward slowly, looking for the hotel.Now it is reasonable to say that it is lunch time, but the whole street is unusually quiet, which makes people feel a little inexplicably uneasy.

"Some people's doors are not locked, and chickens, ducks and dogs are all there. They must have gone out for something and haven't come back yet." Xu Ling looked around and said calmly.

Halfway through, they finally saw a small shop marked Riverside Hotel.This is also an ordinary private house, but it was built relatively large and rebuilt.

After driving the car into the yard, the fat man couldn't wait to get out of the car.As soon as he stepped on the ground, the guy rushed to the wall impatiently and went to pee.

"I'll go! This road scares me, and there is a deep ditch and old forest next to it. If it slips down, it will not be disfigured!".The fat man started complaining when he came back.

Went inside to find only one middle aged woman dozing off behind the counter.The sound of footsteps woke her up.

"Hi girl, let's have dinner and stay overnight, do you have any land?" Boss Hu said to her.

"Welcome, welcome, yes, you have a room for each of you. I will prepare the meals right away. Niuzi, go wash the vegetables, there are guests coming. My surname is Liang, and you can call me Boss Liang." The middle-aged woman said with a smile on her face. , shouted across a room.After a while, a little girl came out and followed the proprietress to the back kitchen.

The food was served quickly, and it was time for a pot of tea.Maybe it was because Xu Ling and the others drove a good car, so the boss served six meat dishes in one go, as well as several common vegetarian dishes.Especially the fried bacon with red mushrooms is absolutely delicious.

"Guests, I've made you feel wronged. Just order here. This is Stir-Fried Red Mushroom with Preserved Hare Meat, 41! This is home-raised chicken and duck, [-] servings. This is Changjiang Pomfret, [-], and these are The pork we raise here is safe to eat. These vegetables are not worth a few dollars, so I won’t talk about it.” The boss came out from the back kitchen and said with a smile while wiping his hands on the apron.

"Boss, the craftsmanship is good, and the ingredients are also authentic." Xu Ling smiled at her, this boss did not deceive anyone.

"I'm sorry, we're all from the countryside. If we cheat people, then why do we do business! You eat first, I'll clean up the room." The boss spoke forcefully, and after finishing speaking, he greeted Niuzi and went up to the second floor.

After dinner, Xu Ling chatted with the boss about things in the town.

"Where have everyone gone?"

"Don't you guys know what happened? The stone turtle we unearthed today is going to be hoisted. It used to be buried in the mud and I didn't know it. Now that I found it, I have to raise it up to avoid being flooded. Maybe that's the case. It can also be turned into a tourist attraction." The boss told the whole story.

"Then it's a coincidence that we came here." Boss Hu laughed.

"Hurry up, three cranes came this morning, maybe it's started." said the boss.

Go as soon as you say, the owner of Shigui said that it is at the end of the village, and you can see it when you turn around the mountain.

Sure enough, Xu Ling and the others left the village after walking for more than ten minutes. They turned around a ridge and saw the foot of the mountain not far away. The banks of the Yangtze River were crowded with people.Here, only a huge gray-white shadow can be seen under the cable, and the whole picture cannot be seen clearly.

The cables of the three cranes have also been tightened, and it is obvious that they are about to start hoisting.

But what surprised Xu Ling and the others was that the crowd was clearly divided into two groups.A group of older people, a group of young people and middle-aged people.The difference is clear, and it seems that both sides are still a little excited, opening their mouths to say something loudly from time to time.

Fatty was the most impatient and ran in front, fearing that something might happen, Xu Ling followed closely behind him.After walking to the foot of the mountain and listening for a while, Xu Ling realized that the difference between the two parties was on the stone turtle.

Yuhu and the others didn't care about this, but walked to the side of the big pit they dug, and looked at the stone turtle inside!

"Wow! This is too big!" the fat man exclaimed.Good guy, a stone turtle with its head raised and roaring is crouching on a square stone platform.Calculated with reference to the surrounding trees, this stone turtle is at least seven or eight meters long, and not much less wide!The open mouth is like a dragon's mouth, with sharp teeth.Two copper-bell-sized eyes opened wide with anger.There are nine palaces carved on the tortoise shell, and each palace has some realistic carvings, including fish and snakes, shrimps and crabs, insects and shellfish, and a crane in the center, which is very strange!
What's even more peculiar is that the stone turtle stepped on a black dragon with all four legs!The black dragon with a writhing body made a frightened head, its limbs were firmly restrained by the stone turtle, its tail had been cut off, and its body was covered with wounds!
From this picture, it is not difficult for everyone to imagine how powerful the giant tortoise is!Just such a stone, the carving is lifelike, and the whole scene is like a giant tortoise and a dragon fighting, magnificent!
And that stone tablet stands at the tail of the stone turtle, about five meters high, and it was originally engraved with handwriting, but it is now blurred!

"You can't move! If you move, there will be natural disasters! This is the ancestor's instruction!", an old man with a beard and gray hair was standing on crutches, and said to a middle-aged man with an excited face.

"Dad, it's not me who wants to move! It's the whole village who wants to move! As the village secretary, I have to think about the village. Look at our village, it's been a thousand years, and it still looks like a bird! The stone tortoise is about to be flooded, and you can’t see anything at that time! Do you know? Just because we found the stone tortoise, many people have come to visit us recently to see what’s new! Just ask the villagers behind me, they Did you agree to let the stone turtle be flooded?" The middle-aged man said to the old man excitedly, even waving his arms to increase the power of his words.

"This stone turtle is a water-suppressing beast, my son, don't be a sinner through the ages!".When the old man said this, he burst into tears, his beard was wet, and his voice was mournful.A group of old people behind also tried to persuade the middle-aged man to give up the idea of ​​moving the stone turtle.

Looking at the messy scene, Xu Ling felt a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.Looking at the ridge protruding from the river not far ahead, Xu Ling was a little dazed for a while!

"Xu Ling, what's the matter?" Yuhu asked seeing that Xu Ling remained silent.

"Brother Hu, look at the mountain and the shape of the whole mountain protruding from the river opposite, what do you find?" Xu Ling said seriously.

"Uh, what does it look like?" Yuhu took a closer look, but still couldn't feel anything.
