In the afternoon, a girl in a blue shirt came to the fishing house, probably Lin Bo's daughter, she hugged a pile of quilts, stood at the door and asked, "Excuse me, is Mr. Qu there?"

Probably because she was born by the sea, her skin is not as white and smooth as the women in the capital, but a healthy wheat color. The two braids are wrapped in a blue floral scarf, with a simple beauty. .

Although Tianyi Sect was deeply favored by the emperor, it was no different from a Taoist temple, and their daily practice was hard, so it didn't matter whether Qu Chunfeng wanted the quilt or not.He heard the sound and came out of the house. Seeing it was a girl, he subconsciously averted his eyes and saluted, "But the girl from the Lin family?"

Ah Ying looked at him secretly, thinking that he was really like what Dad said, he is a handsome scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, with a good character, but he is just old-fashioned, looking a little over his head: "Exactly, Dad asked I'll bring some quilts and tea bowls to the young master."

Qu Chunfeng nodded, avoided her hand and took the things over: "Thank you, miss."

Ah Ying smiled and said: "Young Master Qu called me Ah Ying, this is a rural place, there are not so many red tapes."

Lin Bo thinks that Qu Chunfeng is good both in appearance and character, but a girl like Ah Ying who grew up by the sea seems to be just curious about him, and thinks that Qu Chunfeng is good-looking and nice to speak, unlike them People from such a small place.

Qu Chunfeng put the things on the bed, and accidentally saw a pair of pearl earrings hanging on Aying's ears, the color was slightly blue in the sun, remembering that the three merman weeping pearls in the treasury of Da Chu were also of the same color, He paused for a while, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "The fishermen here make a living by fishing, how should they exchange money?"

Ah Ying explained: "There is a market not far from here. I caught fish and sold them in restaurants and inns. Someone collected them. Why, you want to go fishing?"

The aristocrats in Beijing are strict in etiquette. Those noble girls from aristocratic families usually don’t leave their gates, and they don’t even walk through their doors. They don’t even know their boudoir names. If a man looks directly at an unmarried girl, he will inevitably be rude, let alone Qu Chunfeng. Half Taoist.

He kept his eyes half down, and said after hearing the words: "To tell you the truth, I am penniless now, and I want to do some work to pay for my home. If I can earn some money, it would be good to go fishing."

Ah Ying said: "The money for fishing is meager, and it is a coolie. My son is a scholar, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Qu Chunfeng glanced at the pearl earrings on her earlobe without any trace, and looked away again, with a light smile like a breeze: "There are so many rare treasures in the sea, if you are lucky enough to find one or two pearls, that will be enough."

Aying didn't know if she noticed his gaze, she touched her earlobe subconsciously, she looked a little nervous, and explained with a smile: "This bead... These beads were obtained from shells when Dad went to sea in the early years. See the color Qiqi stayed here, it’s not worth much in fact, if you want to go to sea, it’s no problem, after my dad recovers from his injury, I’ll tell him to take you with me.”

Qu Chunfeng thanked with a smile: "Thank you, miss."

Ah Ying waved her hand, saying it was nothing, it was inconvenient for a single man and a widow, and left after a while.

Before he knew it, it was night. During the day, it was still so hot that people were sweating profusely, but now it was cold to the bone. Qu Chunfeng was protected by profound energy, so naturally he was not afraid. He opened his eyes quietly and walked out the door.

The village is indeed queer.

The girl was born in a poor family, but she wears shark teardrops worth tens of thousands of gold as ornaments. Knowing that there are all rare treasures in the world in the Chu Palace treasury, she can barely find three of them. He doesn't believe that Ah Ying doesn't know how valuable these beads are.

They are willing to live in poverty, living here and refusing to leave, as if they are waiting for something.

Sharks like to show up at night, especially at night when the moon is full. Qu Chunfeng walked out of the house and saw that the sea water had ebbed and was not as turbulent as it was during the day, so he took out the long sword from the Qiankun bag and jumped off the cliff , landed lightly on the beach like a dragonfly, without making any sound.

The mermaids are not as gentle and harmless as in the legends. The singing of the sea monsters is always deceptive, and the ten fingers have sharp claws, cutting gold and jade, and cutting iron like mud. If the villagers did not die in the last life, they would be angry. If they lose their minds, the court may not really catch them so easily.

Qu Chunfeng never takes his guard lightly. He walked to the coast, sat down on a rock, put the long sword across his knees, took out the pearls and jades presented by the governor of Quanzhou from the Qiankun bag, and picked out the most exquisite one. Glass rosary.

The things that the governor of Quanzhou dared to offer as bribes must not be ordinary things. There are twenty rosary beads in total, round and crystal clear. They are made of colored glaze and carved into five-petal Buddha lotus. It is called ingenious workmanship.

The rosary was wrapped around Qu Chunfeng's well-articulated wrist, shining brightly under the moonlight, and it was unsurpassed in beauty, but he directly tore off the jade thread, grabbed a ball of glazed beads into his palm, and then threw them into the bead with a flick of his sleeve. the sea——

The bead didn't sink to the bottom, but was supported by his profound energy, and floated on the surface of the sea in a vain manner, looming in the undulating waves, shining brightly, like stars entering the sea.

Mermaids like to pick up such shiny and exquisite things and go back to decorate their nests, especially those who are about to grow up, they will wantonly search for precious gems and jade for courtship.

Qu Chunfeng sat quietly on the rock, using colored glaze as bait, the blue ribbon of his hair was blown by the wind, and the corners of his clothes fluttered, but his body remained motionless. He seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed, but in fact he was always thinking about his surroundings. Unfortunately, apart from the waves churning and fish swimming past, there was no sign of any sharks.

Jiang Taigong fished in the Yinxi River for fifty or six years, but he never caught a single fish. Qu Chunfeng couldn't be like him, waiting for dozens of springs and autumns by the sea.After about two hours, until the moon was almost hidden by the dark clouds, he finally opened his eyes and slowly got up from the rock.

As expected, sharks are not so easy to catch.

The technique of longevity is not so good.

Not only Emperor Zhaoning wanted to seek longevity, but Qu Chunfeng also wanted to know whether there is real longevity in this world.He raised his hand and held it in the air, and all those glazed beads were taken back. He probably glanced at them, there were twenty of them, one not too many, one not too little, frowning slightly, he threw them into the sea casually.

This time it was not supported by profound energy, those beads were quickly submerged in the waves, one of the glazed beads survived and rolled into the crevice of the rock.

The system was puzzled, and appeared behind him, poking around: [... Is longevity really that important to you? 】

Qu Chunfeng had already decided in his heart that it was a monster. Every time it appeared, it would appear like ghosts and ghosts. He couldn't detect the slightest breath. After hearing the words, he was silent for a moment, and asked: "So what?"

The system snorted: [Even if you want to live forever, you shouldn't kill people]

Qu Chunfeng closed his eyes and said nothing, and after a while, he said softly: "There are too many people dying in this world. You can't save them, and I can't save them. In troubled times, the only way to protect yourself is to be wise."

After he finished speaking, he stared at the turbulent and dark sea, as if he wanted to go into the water to have a look, but he finally gave up thinking about his lack of water skills.

... It's not good to be drowned.

Holding the sword in the end, he turned and left the beach.

The moonlight spread faintly on the surface of the sea, and broke into shimmering light again. Not long after Qu Chunfeng left, there was a slight sound of splashes on the surface of the calmly surging water, as if something had quietly moved. swam over.

At some point, a hand was covered on the reef by the shore. It was slender, pale, and bluish in color. The nails were pointed and long, and a cold light flashed. The sword is three points sharper.

That hand groped lightly in the crevices of the crushed stones, touched a glazed bead that had been left behind just now, deftly moved it out with its nails, then grabbed it into the palm of its hand, and submerged underwater again.

The sea is still calm.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Lin Bo came to Qu Chunfeng's house suddenly, reached out and knocked on his door: "Young Master Qu, Young Master Qu."

Not long after, the wooden door creaked and was opened. Qu Chunfeng stood behind the door, but he didn't see any drowsy look. He seemed to have woken up a long time ago: "So it's old man Lin, what's the matter?"

Lin Bo explained: "Yesterday I heard from Ah Ying that the young master wanted to go fishing, so I came to ask if you want to go together."

Qu Chunfeng was startled when he heard the words, then looked at his legs, hesitantly said: "Of course I went, it's just your injury..."

Lin Bo didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the gold-chuang medicine that the young master gave yesterday, after I crushed it and applied it, most of the leg injury has healed, and now I can walk without any danger."

What Qu Chunfeng gave was the inner secret medicine, which is naturally different, he smiled when he heard the words: "It's fine if you don't have anything to do, that medicine is just a gift from a friend, it's a waste to keep it here, it can help you naturally Is good."

Seeing a red sun rising from the sea, Lin Bo said to Qu Chunfeng: "Young Master Qu, the sun has already risen, if you want to go to sea, it's the best time to go, pack up your things and go with me. "

In fact, Qu Chunfeng had nothing to clean up, so he changed into light clothes and went to the beach with Lin Bo. He remembered watching the stars last night, and after a rough calculation, there was a chance of wind and rain.

Lin Bo has been born and raised in this fishing village for decades, and the only valuable things are a thatched hut and two or three fishing boats. He stepped into one of them, raised the sails, and said to Qu Chunfeng who was standing on the shore: "My lord, Come down, be careful for a while, don't get seasick."

Qu Chunfeng has martial arts, but he didn't reveal it, and he didn't want Lin Bo to see it, so he deliberately staggered onto the boat with his robe hem in hand, as if he had no strength to restrain a chicken.

Seeing this, Lin Bo supported him and let him sit on the deck: "My lord, please sit down, I will call you when I pull the net later."

Qu Chunfeng grew up in the capital city and did not know water skills. Looking at the endless sea at this moment, he really felt dizzy.

Lin Bo glanced at him: "Young master is a scholar, I'm afraid he didn't go to sea by boat and suffered such hardships?"

Qu Chunfeng said: "Although I didn't go to sea, but when I was young, I read "Sou Shen Ji" and saw it described the experience of the sea, gods and ghosts, and I have longed for it. If you are a lucky person in your later life, you may be able to see Penglai Xiandao , a thousand-year-old tortoise, and a mermaid in the water."

His entire previous words were just to pave the way for the last sentence.

Hearing this, Lin Bo's rowing movements were insignificant, he paused for a moment, shook his head, and seemed to agree with what he said, but he didn't show it: "What kind of turtle and mermaid are all fake, just fabricated by scholars. Don't believe the words above, my lord, I have been fishing at sea for decades at least, counting my grandfather's generation, there are hundreds of years, and I have never seen any sharks."

Qu Chunfeng smiled: "Maybe, Wansheng also thinks it's unbelievable."

If you observe carefully, he is actually a serious person. Occasionally, he smiles two or three times, but it is only faint, polite and alienated.

Before they knew it, they had already sailed to the middle of the sea. A round of red sun slowly rose, and the shimmering waves flashed tiny red lights. Qu Chunfeng suddenly remembered that when hundreds of masters besieged the sharks in the previous life when they slaughtered the village. , The flames were soaring into the sky, and the sea surface was also so scarlet. It was not dyed by the red sun, but blood.

Everyone has demonic obstacles in their hearts, not to mention Qu Chunfeng, who has been trapped in a bottleneck for a long time. He almost lost his mind after several times of meditation practice, but it is difficult to find the root cause.

There was clearly an endless sea in front of him, but a scarlet flash suddenly flashed in front of Qu Chunfeng's eyes. There was no scene at all, just a dazzling red. He closed his eyes, frowned, and his mind was disturbed. Finally, amidst Lin Bo's shout, he answered god.

Lin Bo finished packing the fishing nets, and said to Qu Chunfeng, "Let's cast the nets here. Mr. Qu will take care of it. The nets are cast carefully. If the fire is not ready, you won't be able to catch a single fish."

After he finished speaking, he skillfully cast the fishing net towards the surface of the sea, and the piled net immediately stretched out and sank into the surface of the sea with a crash. It was actually a bag full of seafood.

Qu Chunfeng saw that his lower body was steady, and he exerted force from his waist. The movement seemed simple, but in fact he had many skills to help him pull the net up: "So there are so many specialties in casting the net."

Lin Bo was a good fisherman, and he had a sharp eye. A net of fish jumped around, and the water splashed everywhere, soaking Qu Chunfeng's hem.

When they didn't realize it, the boat quietly drifted to the deepest part of the reef, as if there was a force deliberately driving it in the dark.

Lin Bo said: "Everything in this world has its own particulars."

He sat on the deck and removed all the fish from the net, leaving only a few big ones, and put all the rest of the small fish back into the sea, Qu Chunfeng paused when he saw this: "Old man, why did you let them go? "

Lin Bo smiled and said: "Leave a way out, just enough to eat, there is no need to kill them all, besides, there are no small fish, where can the big fish come from, sir?"

Qu Chunfeng paused: "Of course."

The two of them were busy collecting the net just now, and didn't notice that the surrounding terrain had changed. It wasn't until a huge wave came suddenly that the ship hit the sea rock and shook violently. Then they suddenly realized that they had arrived at the rocky beach at some time, and they didn't know what to do. A deep vortex gradually appeared in the distance, and the scope began to gradually expand, and the hull was no longer in control.

Seeing this, Lin Bo's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly pulled the sail and paddled: "It's not good, I encountered a vortex, let's go!"

But it was too late, the vortex seemed to have magical power, and it sucked the fishing boat firmly. A huge wave hit, the boat capsized, and Qu Chunfeng also fell into the water. He didn't know the nature of water. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't even open my eyes, and the sea water gradually flooded my mouth and nose.
