Does anyone know anything about this? Ji Xiaolan mentions it in his Straw Hut Notes. He says that little humanoids grow inside ancient turtles. If you catch one and let it feed on your blood, it will give you the ability to find buried treasures, but it will kill you if it drinks too much of your blood.

Any other information on this? Other sources, images, information?

Found an illustrated children's book that deals with Turtle Treasure: http://www.woxihuan....97086165.shtml#
