Your Excellency Silun's writing is quiet, and the inscriptions in the bell and drum towers are long.
Who would be my companion when I sit alone at dusk? The crape myrtle flowers versus the purple wei man.
——"Lagerstroemia Flower" by Bai Juyi
…
Xuanwu is one of the four spirits of heaven in mythology, also known as turtle and snake. It refers to the seven constellations of Xuanwu in the north among the twenty-eight constellations.
Xuanwu is the Kan hexagram in the Bagua diagram, and it controls water in the Five Elements. It symbolizes winter among the four seasons and is also the northern land of the sky.
The original meaning of Xuanwu is Xuan Ming, Xuan means black and Ming means Yin.
The basalt turtle and snake originally lived in the northern polar regions, in the icy sea, but encountered a natural disaster and drifted to Maoman Island (today's Hokkaido Island), where they were accidentally rescued by a young girl.
From then on, Xuanwu disguised himself as two islands, Turtle Island and Snake Island, and took the young girl to cruise around Kushobu Island (today's Sakhalin Island) and Maoren Island (today's Hokkaido Island).
A young girl with extraordinary talents was born out of nowhere with the blessing of a mythical beast. After being discovered by Fuso Amaterasu, she adopted her as an adopted daughter and became the Fuso Saint.
When the young girl grew up, she learned a skill that was all over the world, and she vowed to lead Fuso to rise in the east and rule the seven seas.
In order to achieve her goal, Saint Fuso sneaked into the Tang Dynasty many times and plotted to invade China.
The Fuso Navy that invaded Silla was the elite under the command of Saint Fuso. Seeing that the Fuso Navy was surrounded by the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food Warship, Saint Fuso failed to assassinate Bai Fu and summoned the sea monster to attack the Tang Navy.
Unexpectedly, the giant octopus, which has always been rampant in Fuso waters, encountered its natural enemy, the sperm whale, and was swallowed alive.
After the death of the Kraken, the Fuso Saint used the ultimate killer move, using the Shakuhachi to wake up the basalt turtles and snakes sleeping in the sea, and ran thousands of miles to protect the Fuso Navy.
…
The warships of Tang Dynasty and Dashi were bumping up and down in the huge waves. It was lucky that they could escape the hurricane and not destroy the warships and people. They were completely unable to fight against the Xuanwu turtle snake.
The wind is raging, the waves are turbulent, and it seems that Bai Fu is the only one left fighting against the sky!
Bai Fu knew clearly that although he was highly skilled in martial arts, he was not sure he could deal with the divine beast.
Bai Fu took out the python bead, poured his thoughts into it, and tried to communicate with the Xuanwu turtle and snake.
If Bai Fu is an ordinary person, he will be looked down upon by the basalt turtle and snake, which are regarded as the four great divine beasts.
The Xuanwu Turtle and Snake ignored Bai Fu's call. A shrill sound came from the Python Pearl, and Xuan Ming was cold and murderous.
In desperation, Bai Fu played the conch again, hoping to use the power of the conch to stop the basalt turtle and snake.
The conch horn sounded, and within a moment, hundreds of whales the size of ships appeared on the majestic sea, and thousands of sharks swarmed in, cruising back and forth in the huge waves, and intercepted the Tang warship!
The island-sized basalt turtles and snakes looked at these common creatures in the sea with disdain and roared in filial piety.
Just hearing a roar, a huge sea snake on the turtle's back sprang out, stretched out its head, and bit the neck of a humpback whale.
The humpback whale was in pain, and its tail fin slapped the sea surface desperately, trying to escape from the snake's mouth.
The basaltic sea snake has a huge mouth and huge teeth like a hacksaw, biting up and down. The more the humpback whale struggled, the more violent the tear became. After several struggles, the head of the humpback whale was bitten off by the sharp teeth of the sea snake's huge mouth. The huge whale body was like the sea.
Driftwood, turned out of its belly, floating on the surface of the sea.
Hundreds of bloodthirsty sharks were so excited when they smelled the blood that they ignored the enemy basalt turtles and snakes. They swam around the dead humpback whale, tearing away the skin and flesh, and quickly bit the humpback whale into a whale skeleton.
.
The Basalt Sea Snake followed the same pattern and killed dozens of whales and hundreds of sharks in the sea in less than a cup of tea.
There were corpses of whales and sharks everywhere on the sea. Within a few hundred feet, the blue water was dyed red with the blood of whales and sharks, and the smell was unusual. Seabirds that covered the sky flew down on the whales and sharks and lifted their heads. He penetrated the corpses and tore out the internal organs of whales and sharks.
The basalt sea turtle paddled its limbs in the water, stretched its head out, looked up to the sky, and exhaled a burst of freezing air.
The sea surface seemed to be hit by a blizzard, with heavy snowflakes roaring in, snow flakes flying, and hailstones the size of eggs pouring down.
The sea that was rough just now was instantly frozen into a snow-capped ice lake, and the warships of Datang and Dashi turned into countless ships withered by ice, anchoring quietly on the ice.
The huge waves turned into transparent blue ice walls, and steep and towering icebergs solidified on the ice surface.
The sharks with bared teeth and claws were frozen in the ice wall and were clearly visible. The sharks opened their mouths with blood, and the shark teeth were like daggers, shining with cold light. The sharks looked ferocious, as if they were about to jump out of the ice wall at any time.
Dozens of whales jumped out of the sea at the freezing moment and fell on the ice, flapping their tail fins like fresh fish caught ashore.
Without the huge buoyancy of the sea water, the whale's bones could not support its huge body. Not long after, the sound of "kaka" was heard one after another. The whale's bones were broken and its tendons were broken, and it was crushed to death by its own weight.
The sperm whale under Bai Fu's seat looked at Bai Fu for the last time, whined, lowered his head and neck feebly, fell heavily on the ice, and died quietly.
The close comrade-in-arms just now passed away in an instant, which made Bai Fu's anger rise. He pointed at the black turtle snake and shouted sharply:
"Xuanwu, so what if you are the four great beasts?!
Even though I, Bai Fu, am as humble as a piece of grass and have no supernatural powers that can reach heaven and earth, I dare to fight with you at the cost of my life!"
Today is destined to be a battle of fate, either to die vigorously or to kill the enemy cleanly.
Bai Fu imitated the model of Fuso Girl's ice boots when she was moored at Fengqiao at night. He found two steel knives from the deck of the warship, cut off a section of the blade, and tied the back of the knife tightly to the sole of the boot.
Bai Fu stepped on the ice blade, dragging the black iron thick-backed knife, and slowly slid towards the black iron knife. The tip of the black iron knife drew a long ice mark on the ice, making a sharp and unpleasant sound.
The Saint of Fuso, wearing a fox fur coat, stood proudly on the top of the iceberg with her arms folded, looking at the frail figure standing alone on the ice, she was astonished.
After a while, she came to her senses. Saint Fuso raised her brows and lightly opened her lips: "Idiot!"
The Black Tortoise and Snake, one of the four great beasts, cannot be conquered by ordinary martial arts.
Bai Fu recalled the method of subduing demons taught by his master when he was in Qingcheng Mountain:
"Any monster possesses speed and strength that is far superior to that of tigers and leopards, and even possesses unpredictable magic skills.
If a mortal wants to conquer them, he cannot rely on his own strength alone. He must rely on human wisdom to gain heaven-defying power.
The core essence of any sealing method is to lend magical power to heaven! Only by borrowing the power of divine punishment can you subjugate demons!"
"The power of divine punishment?"
A purple electric light streaked across the sky, penetrated across the sky, and struck on the top of the iceberg, illuminating the entire sky.
Bai Fu was enlightened and suddenly realized.
Bai Fu held the Xuantie thick-backed knife tightly and accelerated on the ice. The Xuantie knife seemed to sense Bai Fu's pounding heartbeat.
"Whoosh"
The basalt sea snake's body was like lightning, and it sprang out from the back of the turtle. It opened its huge mouth and bit Bai Fu.
Bai Fu was as fast as the wind, zipping across the ice in a zigzag pattern, swift and erratic, and unpredictable. The Xuanwu Sea Snake attacked with its mouth several times, but failed to catch him.
The Xuanwu Sea Snake suppressed its anger, held its breath and concentrated its attention. After determining Bai Fu's route, it suddenly stretched out its neck and ejected like a bow, swallowing Bai Fu from the side with its bloody mouth.
Seeing that Bai Fu was about to slide into the snake's mouth, Bai Fu raised his hand, and a fire bomb exploded in front of the sea snake's eyes.
Taking advantage of the moment when the snake's eyes were slightly closed, Bai Fu twisted his body, kicked his ankles, stopped and turned suddenly, and slipped between the two fangs of the snake's mouth.
It is rude to come and not reciprocate!
Bai Fu rushed forward with his legs, leaned back, turned back to the saber, raised the knife with his hand, and with a flash of black iron knife, cut the forked snake letter of the sea snake into two pieces.
Blood dripped from the tip of the sea snake's tongue. It became furious and turned its head to bite Bai Fu.
Bai Fu jumped into the air, put his foot on the snake's head, and used its strength to climb up.
The true Qi of the Xunding Cauldron traveled along the two ribs, and it was as white as the ribs and sprouted two wings. It circled and flew into the air, right above the basalt turtle and snake.
Bai Fu held the black iron sword high, Xunkan's true energy poured into the blade, held the sword in both hands, and cut it down with one strike!
I saw a bolt of lightning, attracted by the black iron knife, breaking through the sky from the black clouds, and piercing the black iron knife held high by Bai Fu.
Just when Lightning was about to catch up with Bai Fu, Bai Fu's black iron thick-backed knife suddenly let go and went straight to the nose of the Xuanwu turtle!
The Xuanwu Turtle looked up to the sky and breathed out a burst of extremely cold air, trying to block the power of the Xuantie Dao.
The black iron sword possessed by Xunkan Zhenqi is like a blue-backed dragon, with its sword drawn and drawn, breaking through the ice, coming through the air, without any deviation, and inserted into the middle of the nose of the black turtle snake!
Lightning followed the light and hit the black iron thick back knife!
"Crack!"
Just hearing a loud noise from Kacha, a bright purple thunderbolt fell from the sky, like Thunder God's Haotian Hammer and Dian Mother's Xuantian Mirror, hitting the Xuanwu turtle and snake at the same time!
"Ouch!"
The basalt turtle and snake let out an earth-shattering scream, foamed at the mouth, trembled all over, twitched its limbs, and its turtle shell was cracked!
This is exactly what happened back then when he was going through the heavenly tribulation!
Although the basalt turtle and snake are divine beasts, they dare not rebel against heaven. Now that the might of heaven is angry and the heaven is vast, it can only bow its knees and surrender, and run away to survive.
When the basalt turtle and snake were about to submerge into the sea, the sea snake suddenly emerged from the sea. With a bite of its fangs and a roll of its head, Bai Fu was rolled into the snake's body and dragged into the deep sea.
Although Xuanwu Turtle and Snake did not dare to rebel against nature, in his manic rage, he must kill this mortal who had severely injured him!
