"Those fishermen have never seen such a big green turtle, let alone talk about people, and they released the green turtle and the fish and shrimp in the fishing net in a hurry. Since then, the village People in the village dare not go fishing in the river anymore, for fear that they will catch the shrimp soldiers and crab generals from the Dragon Palace and offend the Dragon King, and all the people in the village will abandon the fish for farming. The news spread, and many outsiders came here to think about it. I want to see if I have a chance to see this turtle Chitose again. But more and more people came, and no one was seen again in the end. This actually made this small fishing village more and more populated. Later, the people at that time When the imperial court found out about this, they divided this place into towns, and this town got the name Wanshou Town because of Gui Qiansui."
"Since it's Gui Qiansui, why isn't it called Qianshou Town?" Bai Zhuo asked again when the shopkeeper finished speaking.
The shopkeeper smiled slightly: "Young master, don't you understand that? This tortoise, Qiantui, said that in front of the Dragon King. As the saying goes, the thousand-year-old tortoise has lived for 8 years. Longevity, of course."

?6 Seventy Chapter Stealing Stele
"So that's what happened." Bai Zhuo nodded, although he didn't think it was right, but he didn't need to argue with the shopkeeper about it.
After all, this is just a legend, there is no need to take it seriously.
After talking about this, Song Wuya smiled slightly, "Shopkeeper, I wonder how far Wanshou Town is from Yangzhou?"
"It's not far, it's not far. Go northwest, follow the official road, and you'll be in Yangzhou in less than two days." The shopkeeper immediately answered Song Wuya's question.
Bai Zhuo immediately said from the side: "The official way is good, let's follow the official way."
He was afraid of the boat trip just now, for fear that Song Wuya would go by water.
This can't go by water. If you go to Yangzhou, you will go upstream. You can imagine how slow the speed of the boat is.
"If we don't go by water, let's go by land." Song Wuya confirmed to Bai Zhuo.
The shopkeeper next to them listened to their words and immediately reminded them again.
"If you want to take the official road, you should be careful. I heard from the guests over there that the official road in Yangzhou is not peaceful recently. Many people have been robbed. dead."
The shopkeeper lowered his voice to warn the others, which made Song Wuya and the others feel worried.
"We will pay attention, thank you for the reminder, shopkeeper." Song Wuya thanked.
The waiter in the store happened to come down from the second floor at this moment, and the shopkeeper immediately called him over, and brought Song Wuya and the others upstairs.
After entering the room, several people settled down, and no one was too lazy to go out for a stroll, and they each rested in the room.
He didn't know how long he fell asleep, Song Wuya still felt his stomach was empty, so he woke up.
When he woke up, Song Wuya raised his head and looked out the window, only to see that the house was pitch black, thinking that it was already night.
There was no other movement in the inn. If he went out to find food, it would disturb others.Thinking of this, Song Wuya felt that he just had to bear it, and prepared to continue sleeping under the knife.
Just laying down, I only heard the sound of Rion in my ears, as if the whole room was shaking.
"Huh? What's going on? Could it be an earthquake?" Song Wuya was surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt wrong, after all, this earthquake is like this.But the movement just now was indeed not small. There was a dull vibration, and I don't know what happened.
After waiting for a while, there was no sound coming from outside, Song Wuya didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to sleep.
Early in the morning of the second day, when the sky was still only twilight, I heard bursts of noise coming from outside.
"Brother Wuya, brother Wuya, get up quickly, there seems to be something wrong outside."
Just thinking about it, Bai Zhuo at the side got up and shouted loudly.
Glancing at him, Song Wuya also got up and dressed, washed up quickly and went outside the door.
Situ Wen and Xiaohuan were also awakened naturally. Seeing Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo, they asked, "Wu Ya, what happened outside?"
"I don't know yet, the two of us just got up." Song Wuya shook his head and said, "Let's go out and have a look."
"En!" Situ Wen nodded, and took Xiaohuan back to the room to tidy up, and the four of them came downstairs.
"Shopkeeper, what's going on outside? It's so noisy!" Song Wuya didn't know what was going on, so he asked the shopkeeper.
"Hey! I don't know what's going on, and it wasn't like this in the past. I can't leave here, and I haven't gone out to have a look yet." The shopkeeper shook his head and said.
It seemed that he was also curious about the situation outside, but he couldn't go out to have a look because he couldn't escape.
"Then let's go out and see the situation." Song Wuya said to the shopkeeper, and walked out of the inn.
There were crowds of people on this street, all walking towards the center of the town, talking while walking.
Soon, they came to the place where the crowd gathered, and watched these people gather together, pointing at the middle.
"Brother, what happened?" Song Wuya casually found someone beside him and asked.
The man also looked surprised, and shook his head: "I'm just here too, and I haven't figured out the situation yet."
As the two of them talked, a thin old man standing in front of them turned around and said, "The Longevity Monument is lost."
"what?"
Song Wuya was still surprised and wondered what this Longevity Monument was.The man next to him suddenly let out an exclamation, and looked at the old man in disbelief.
"Who's head was kicked by a donkey, steal that thing. What's the use of stealing something? It's just a piece of broken metal. Besides, who can steal that thing!"
The man said in disbelief, obviously he didn't believe in this matter.
After saying this by himself, he glanced forward with his toes on his mind.This look, the whole person is stupid.
"Well... it seems that the Longevity Monument is really... gone!"
Seeing his appearance, Song Wuya and the others also looked forward, but they didn't see anything.
"Brother, is the Longevity Monument a bronze monument?" Song Wuya got an idea, only knew that a monument was missing, and it looked like it should be a bronze monument.Not only that, but the big man looked forward with his toes on his toes, and he was sure of the situation. It is estimated that this monument is not small.
"That's right! At that time, there was a bronze stele with dragons and dragons on it, and a load on the bottom. The stele was nine feet long and about ten feet high. You said that someone who couldn't think of it stole that thing, and that thing weighed a thousand catties. Although The stele was erected in the Song Dynasty, and it has a history of hundreds of years, but I don’t know how much it costs!"
The man still didn't understand what the thief who stole the stele was thinking.From what he thought, if he wanted to steal, he should steal something valuable.
After hearing what this man said, Song Wuya had a little understanding of the Longevity Monument.
This bronze monument is quite old, but it's not worth much, so someone had an idea for it.
Soon, the chattering crowd dispersed.This matter itself is just a moment of excitement, not many people will stay here all day for this matter.
Watching the crowd gradually disperse, the government servants rushed over.
"Give it up, let it go."
The yamen servants yelled and walked inside, and many yamen servants were breathing while walking.
When they came, the sun in the east just came out.
The crowd got out of the way, Song Wuya and the others had nothing to do, so they naturally pushed forward.
"Am I dreaming? Or am I still awake?"
