Volume 2 Dragon Bird Chapter 56: Immortal Whale
Zang Xiaojian's figure became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the sky.
After saying goodbye to Zang Xiaojian, Lu Qingshan rubbed his forehead with a headache.
"I don't know how to face Mrs. Mo?" Qin Yitian saw Lu Qingshan's troubles.
Lu Qingshan nodded.
Next, he would bring Mo Zhizhi the news of the death of her husband and son.
He couldn't imagine how much of a blow this news would be to Mo Zhizhi.
But no matter how much of a headache it was, since he had promised Mo Yan, he had to do it.
"Forget it, Miss Qin, let's go back to Jiaolong City first." Lu Qingshan rubbed his eyebrows and greeted Qin Yitian.
Qin Yitian nodded slightly.
…
Jiaolong City, wood carving shop.
The two streams of light stopped and slowly descended.
"You're finally back!" The King of Western Rat, who had a strong sense of perception, was the first to discover Lu Qingshan's presence. He excitedly jumped out of the wood carving shop to greet Lu Qingshan.
But when the Western Rat King saw that there were only Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian at the door, he was stunned. He didn't know what plot he imagined in his mind. He had a sad face and said in a trembling voice: "Why are there only two of you? Where did you hide the little sword? No way..."
A cloth bag flew out of Lu Qingshan's hand and flew towards the Western Rat King.
The King of the Western Rat hurriedly caught the cloth bag that was several inches larger than his body, "What is this?"
"Zang Xiaojian had something urgent to do and had no time to say goodbye to you, so she went home first. This is the gift she left for you." Lu Qingshan said unhappily, "Mrs. Mo is still in there, right?"
"Gift?" The King of Western Rat smiled and unwrapped the cloth bag impatiently, answering, "Mrs. Mo is inside. She has been fidgeting, making me nervous..."
Lu Qingshan walked towards the woodcarving shop and asked casually, "What gift did Zang Xiaojian leave for you?"
He was indeed very curious, but after all, this was a gift from Zang Xiaojian to the King of Western Rat, so he couldn't just open it and check it without the King of Western Rat's consent.
"It's a book..." The excitement in the heart of the King of Western Rat turned into tears, "The gift that Zang Xiaojian left for me turned out to be a book..."
There are several ancient books in the cloth bag.
Lu Qingshan glanced with amusement at the Western Rat King who was flipping through an ancient book with a look of despair on his face.
I don’t know what book Zang Xiaojian left for the King of the Western Rat, but it even has very exquisite illustrations.
Lu Qingshan muttered something, shook his head, and didn't think about it anymore.
Mrs. Mo hasn't explained everything clearly yet, and this is the top priority right now.
After just a few more steps, a thought seemed to flash through his mind.
"Wait," Lu Qingshan muttered uncertainly, "Why do I feel that the illustration looks familiar... I think I've seen it before?"
" What book did Zang Xiaojian leave for you?" Lu Qingshan stopped and said to the Western Rat King, "Let me see it."
The King of Western Rat threw the book in his hand to Lu Qingshan.
On the cover, the title of the book was written in tiny calligraphy.
[Picture of magical beasts of the South China Sea].
"I was caught by Zang Xiaojian when I was peeking at this." The King of Western Rat muttered.
Lu Qingshan flipped through the map of the spiritual beasts of the South China Sea and turned to the page he had just glanced at.
He watched in fascination for a long time, and suddenly he flew high into the sky on .
Qin Yitian blinked his clear eyes, not understanding what was going on, but subconsciously prepared to follow in mid-air.
"Take me with you!" The King of the Western Rat quickly jumped onto Qin Yitian's shoulder.
Qin Yitian glanced at the Western Rat King and without saying anything, he turned into a rainbow of light and followed Lu Qingshan.
This time, Lu Qingshan flew his sword to a very high altitude before stopping. Looking around, he saw blue everywhere and the air became thinner.
The red light transformed by Qin Yitian stopped beside Lu Qingshan. Looking at Lu Qingshan's solemn expression, he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Qingshan handed over the book in his hand and pointed to the Jiaolong Island below, "Don't you think this Jiaolong Island looks familiar?"
Qin Yitian looked down, and because of the high enough height, he could vaguely see the outline of Jiaolong Island.
Jiaolong Island is as majestic as a mountain and is very long overall, but it is relatively wide in the head and middle parts. The area becomes smaller and .
Lingyuan is located at the head of Jiaolong Island.
"Looks familiar? " Qin Yitian still didn't understand what Lu Qingshan meant by "looks familiar", and turned his gaze back to the book in his hand.
A long grey and white whale picture came into view.
This whale is as big as a mountain, gradually becoming narrower from the head to the tail, with a heart-shaped tail fin and a blowhole on the top of its head like a crater...
Qin Yitian's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at the outline of Jiaolong Island again, and said in disbelief: "What does Mr. Lu mean...?"
Lu Qingshan nodded.
Only the King of the Western Rat was still confused and scratched his head anxiously, "Lu Qingshan, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand what you mean?"
Lu Qingshan did not want to tease the King of the Rat West, but asked, "Do you still remember the story of the whale turning into an island that the storyteller told in the teahouse in Bi Bo City?"
The King of Western Rat nodded. "I remember. The storyteller was bragging at the time. He said that in the boundless sea, there was an immortal whale floating on the sea surface. It was huge and sleepy. It could sleep for tens of millions of years, unmoved by wind and rain. After a long time, it evolved into an island. It was immediately exposed by other tea drinkers and they laughed at it..."
The Western Rat King's voice slowly stopped. He finally reacted. He looked at the picture of the long-lived whale in the [South China Sea Spiritual Beast Picture], then looked down at Jiaolong Island. He rubbed his eyes, pointed his claws at Jiaolong Island, and trembled with excitement. He said in disbelief: "The outline of Jiaolong Island is exactly the same as the appearance of the long-lived whale in this picture?!"
"No," the King of the Rat West sobered up for a rare moment after being shocked, and shook his head suddenly, "Lu Qingshan, you can't conclude that Jiaolong Island was transformed from the Immortal Whale just because its outline is similar to that of the Immortal Whale. After all, there are many coincidences in the world."
"Indeed, there are many coincidences in the world. Just because they look similar doesn't mean anything." Lu Qingshan did not object to the King of the Rat West's statement, and then he said, "However, there is an extremely mysterious crater on Jiaolong Island, named Lingyuan. This Lingyuan has no bottom. It usually emits a strong attraction, swallowing everything, and it will erupt from time to time. What erupts is not magma, but water mist all over the sky."
Qin Yitian read the detailed introduction of the Immortal Whale in the [South China Sea Spiritual Beast Map] word by word: "The Immortal Whale is the oldest spiritual beast in the South China Sea. It is gentle in nature, sleepy, has an almost infinite lifespan, and is extremely large. The reason why the Immortal Whale is in deep sleep all year round is because there is a small world of heaven and earth in its belly. The small world is the source of the Immortal Whale. If the small world is not destroyed, the Immortal Whale will not die. In order to strengthen the small world, the Immortal Whale reduces its own energy consumption by sleeping all year round. The exit and entrance of the small world are the air exchange ports on the top of the Immortal Whale's head. The Immortal Whale absorbs the spiritual power and yang energy between heaven and earth through this air exchange port every moment to strengthen the small world in its belly, and it will discharge the yin energy in the small world from time to time."
"The description of this ventilation port is completely consistent with Lingyuan's characteristics." Qin Yitian put down the picture of the South China Sea spiritual beast, his clear eyes looking around.
