The scholar is the white moonlight in the heart of the bandits

The merman, whose body of shark oil was gradually lost, began to raise his head, opened his mouth wide, and stared blankly at the exquisite merman corpses above his head. Even though the scene in front of him was not like this, what he saw was "South Sea The mirage released from the Heart Sutra is an illusion carefully created by it, and no one knows what it sees.

When the last drop of shark oil ran out, Murong Cheng quickly pulled out the hose that was inserted into the shark's heart, and squeezed one end tightly, and then pressed a few switches on the distillation apparatus at the side.

There is a small tray at the bottom of the instrument. Wait until the pitch-black instrument in front of you refines all the extracted shark oil into shark dew, and finally it will automatically condense into delicate and round shark beads.

Originally, Zeng Ning needed to do all these things, but when Murong Cheng turned his head, Zeng Ning was so frightened that it was difficult for him to even stand up, so he could only give up and do it himself.

In fact, Zeng Ning's appearance now is exactly the same as when he saw his father, Xie Yuren.

Fear, fear, pain...

"Young...young master, why is it so cruel to make shark beads, why do you have to cut open their stomachs alive like this, don't they feel pain!" Zeng Ning said with tears streaming down his face.

Murong Cheng sighed, "There is no such thing as cruelty or non-cruelty. This is how the world is. Murong made his fortune by relying on shark pearls, and climbed up by stepping on mountains of shark corpses. If there were no sharks, the Murong family would only decline rapidly. What I am doing now is only one-thousandth of what the Murong family has done in the past hundred years, it is nothing."

"That's life, even like us humans..."

"No, they are not." Murong Cheng's face turned frosty, and he shook his head, "As long as they are not human beings, they will always be oppressed by humans!"

"Master..." For the first time, Zeng Ning felt fear of this gentle and kind second young master in his heart. He felt that the second young master was calm and terrifying, cruel and ruthless.

"Zeng Ning, do you think that my current appearance is too terrifying and cruel?" Murong Cheng walked over and gently held Zeng Ning's face, his eyes were as peaceful as a pool of stagnant water.

Zeng Ning nodded involuntarily.

"It's all like this. Every generation of Murong's family came this way, and I have no way to refuse." Murong Cheng said.

"Then why did the young master bring me along? I don't want to do such a thing!" Zeng Ning said with trembling lips, "It's too painful!"

"Because I trust you, I want to be free, you can replace me, okay, I don't want to get shark oil on my hands again, please Zeng Ning..."

"I don't want it, I don't want it!" Zeng Ning yelled, covering his head.

In the distance, the smile on Wuyan's face faded, it heard the conversation between Murong Cheng and Zeng Ning.

Being imprisoned in this place for decades, Murong City can be regarded as the one it grew up watching.When I was young, I saw Zeng Ning, and was so frightened by his father's appearance of slaughtering the shark that he couldn't even stand up. In the end, he cut open the shark's stomach indifferently, drew out the shark oil, and condensed shark pearls.

It's just that he didn't expect that behind Murong Cheng's calmness and indifference, the hidden emotions were so deep.

"Second young master, let me go, I don't want to do such a thing, you can let me kill chickens, pigs, sheep, and cattle, don't let me kill mermaids, they are the same life as human beings, kill them How is it different from killing someone, I don't want it!" Zeng Ning struggled.

"Zeng Ning, help me, I really can't do anything..." Murong Cheng said with tears.

"I don't want it, I don't want it..."

......

A master and a servant did not know how long they had been stalemate in the underground secret room. It was not until Murong Cheng came out from the passageway that they realized that it was getting dark.

Originally, he wanted to bring Zeng Ning with him when he came out, but then thought that he would be needed to make shark beads for him in the future, so he gritted his teeth and threw him in the secret room, and brought him out tomorrow.

Zeng Ning almost crawled in front of Wuyan, he was dripping with tears, his small face that hadn't grown up was wet at the moment, Wuyan really wanted to reach out and hug him, wipe off all the dirt on his face, But there is no way, the black iron lock specially made by Murong's family is too strong, even if it is moved, it will cause extreme pain.

"Wuyan, what should I do, I don't want to kill the sharks, you are still my friend, I can't hurt your kind..."

There was a gentle smile on Insatiable's face, it opened its mouth softly, hummed a soft tune, and slowly sent it into Zeng Ning's ears.

That was the first time they met, Zeng Ning told it that it sang to Zeng Ning when the two met in a dream, and Zeng Ning said it was very nice.

Under the influence of the soft singing, Zeng Ning's mood gradually eased. He wiped the snot and tears on his face, raised his head and looked at Wushen in a daze.

Even in this gloomy water tank, even though his body was bound by pitch-black chains, Wu Yan was still so beautiful. On the top of the secret passage, a luminous pearl lit up at some point and shone into the water tank.

The scales on Insatiable's tail lit up, refracting colorful rays of light in the faint light of the Yeming Pearl.

"Wuyan, you are so beautiful..."

Insatiable smiled, "If it is on the sea with a full moon, under the light of the moon, my scales will look even more beautiful."

"really?"

"Do not lie to you."

"Then when can I see..."

"It shouldn't be too long, maybe a few days, maybe a few years." Wuyan lied, it can't go out, the Murong family won't let it go, this treasure.

It is different from ordinary sharks, it is a mirage, and the shark oil in its body cannot be extracted into shark dew like ordinary sharks, and then condensed into shark pearls.But it has the inner alchemy, which is the lifelong cultivation of mirages. If ordinary people swallow it, they can increase their skill for 50 years, and even have the same long life as mermaids and mirages.If it is bathed in moonlight and swallowed on a full moon day, it may be possible to have the ability to live underwater like a merman and a mirage.

It's just that the mirage beads are different from ordinary shark beads. The mirage beads need to voluntarily use up all their skills to be stripped from the body, otherwise it will only end in vain.

The Murong family tried their best to intimidate and lure them for three generations, but they couldn't get the mirage pearl from Wu Yan. In the end, they had no choice but to lock it in the secret underground passage, restricting its freedom, hoping that one day he would want to regain his freedom. , and then persecute it, wanting to freely exchange it for shark beads.

However, if such a situation really happens in the end, whether the Murong family is willing to let it go is not a certainty.

Can condense the first mirage bead, who can be sure that the second one will not be condensed?

Talking with Wuyan, drowsiness gradually came to his head, and the drowsy Zeng Ning fell asleep. At first, Wuyan thought that Zeng Ning was awake, but he was still mumbling, and then he yelled twice. Zeng Ning didn't respond, so he realized that he was asleep. He smiled and hummed the song praising the sea under the moonlight again.

This song was actually taught by Wuyou. Although it has the beautiful voice of a shark, it can't sing. Wuyou took it with it. Learned.
