Chapter 62 The Merman and the Boy

The dark blue sea water was churning and rolling, and the black seaweed was flaring its teeth and claws in the corner of the eye, but Xie Jianhuan couldn't even notice it.

After staying under the icy water for so long, the body and five senses have gradually become numb, but the touch on the lips is so clear, soft and light, like an unexpected dream.

The touch was only a breath away, Shen Budu gave Xie Jianhuan a sigh of relief, and squeezed the back of the other's neck with his fingers, with a sense of comfort and encouragement.Then he turned his head to look at the Heavenly Demon Crystal in the vortex, a cluster of Begonia Divine Fire popped out from his fingertips, and burned all the way back along the black seaweed wrapped around his body!

Because it was in the sea, the power of the divine fire was greatly reduced, but the sky magic crystal seemed to be particularly afraid of the flames, and the black seaweed curled up one after another, and had to fall off them.At the same time, Qiankun also broke free from the shackles. In a rage, he chopped off nearly a hundred seaweeds. Xie Jianhuan cheered up, and the drinking light sword made a silent vibration in the deep sea, and suddenly split the water waves and went straight to the sky magic crystal!

The Heavenly Demon Crystal was stabbed by the Drinking Light Sword, and a strong black light erupted instantly. Countless black air fled in all directions, faintly accompanied by sharp screams and weeping.The crazily surging vortex slowly subsided, and with a flick of the tip of the drinking light sword, he threw the magic crystal of that day into the master's hand, and he rushed out accordingly.

Shen Budu took Xie Jianhuan's hand, struggled upwards, and finally jumped out of the sea in one fell swoop.

Xie Jianhuan held his breath to the limit, couldn't help coughing violently, Shen Budu patted his back vigorously, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he breathed evenly: "Are you all right?"

Xie Jianhuan shook his head, seeing that Shen Budu was drenched all over, and his black hair was messily sticking to his cheeks, feeling distressed and guilty, he couldn't help reaching out to help him gently brush the hair off his face.

His fingers touched the cold and delicate skin of his cheeks. The intimate distance and movements made him involuntarily recall the kiss in Haixia. Look at the person in front of you.

Shen Budu looked natural, didn't mention what happened just now, wiped the water off his face and swam to the shore: "Let's go, see if Feng Ce has come up."

Feng Ce had already landed on the shore, and had dried his clothes. He stood there with hands clasped behind his back, in stark contrast to the two soaked chickens.

"If you don't come up again, I will go down to get you." Feng Ce stretched out his hand to give Shen Budu a hand, and performed a trick to help him dry his clothes.Just as Shen Budu was about to speak, he found that there was someone more on the shore.

It was a young man with dark clothes and black hair. He was so beautiful that people couldn't help but think of pearls bred in the deep sea. They were crystal clear and luxurious.But his expression was extremely cold, his eyes were burning with deep-seated hatred, and he stared coldly at Song Ruohong who was tied up.

When Song Ruohong saw him, his face turned pale with horror: "It's...it's you...!"

Shen Budu raised his eyebrows, this seems to have a story.

He asked Feng Ce: "Who is this?"

"Isn't it said that there are sharks in Lan Hai?" Feng Ce blinked at him, "It seems that we are lucky."

Shen Budu was slightly surprised, and when he took a closer look, he really found that the man in Tsing Yi had crystal blue scales behind his ears, whether he was a mermaid or not, at least he was definitely not human.

But even if it's really a shark, it's impossible for Feng Ce to catch him up here just to see something new.Shen Budu immediately understood: "He cast the curse?"

Feng Ce raised his chin at the man in Tsing Yi: "Then I have to ask this Brother Shack himself."

The blue-clothed merman sneered: "Curse? No, this is the retribution they deserve."

He looked at Song Ruohong: "It seems that the mayor still remembers me. Then do you remember, your own son who was hanged by you?"

Song Ruohong's face was pale, and his hands trembled violently.The shark looked at the hideous face of the middle-aged man, but couldn't help but think of the person he would never forget.

Dongze is a merman, a legendary merman who lives in the depths of the Lanhai and is neither a demon nor a fairy.

The rumor that their tears can turn into pearls is false.But mermans have special physiques, tears can heal wounds, scales can avoid poison, and if they mate with mermans, they can absorb spiritual energy from them, increase their cultivation base, and greatly increase their skill.

Therefore, the mermaid family has been coveted and invaded by various races. They are rare in number, and after experiencing all kinds of plunder and hunting, there are even fewer. deal with.

"Humans are sometimes no different from beasts and animals." Dong Ze sneered, "You claim to be the master of all spirits, but you have no humanity at all. In your eyes, mermaids are like fish on the chopping board. You can't wait to tear our eyes Dig out the meat, and swallow every bite of flesh and every drop of blood without wasting, to gain longevity for you and increase your cultivation."

Shen Budu didn't refute.Although the shark's words were extreme, he had to admit that many human beings were exactly what the other party said.

"I used to have a younger sister." Dongze clenched his fists, and a layer of crystal clear green scales gradually grew on the back of his hands due to emotion, "She was coaxed by a smooth-talking human being and wanted to leave Lanhai to follow him. I She couldn't stop her, so she married that high-ranking and powerful human being who commands the wind and rain in your cultivation world."

"And yet just three years later, she died."

"I don't know how she died. But sometimes I would dream that she was lying on the bed, her body was covered in blood, her eye sockets were empty, her stomach was cut open, and all her internal organs were taken away. They were arranged in beautiful patterns and placed on human dinner plates."

Shen Budu and Xie Jianhuan frowned, Feng Ce's usual calm smile disappeared, and he stood there indifferently, with a pair of golden pupils that were so dark that people couldn't see to the end.

"They killed my sister, but they still didn't give up. They often sent people to Lanhai to search for the whereabouts of other sharks. We were worried day and night, hiding in embarrassment. Unfortunately, I was found a year ago and had to escape from Lanhai due to serious injuries. , and hid in Lanhai Ancient Town."

And then there, he met the best person he'd ever met in his life.

At that time, he turned into a small blue fish, dying in the shallows.A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy found him and carefully rescued him back.

Under the careful care of the young man, most of his injuries gradually healed. One night, he turned back into a human form and was about to escape, but was bumped into by the young man.

Dongze doesn't have the slightest trust in human beings. Although the boy has taken care of him for so long, he can't guarantee that the boy won't have any other thoughts after discovering his true identity.

After all, human nature is the same, greed is disgusting.

With his killing intent ready, he grabbed the young man's neck. Because of his extreme vigilance and nervousness, a layer of green scales gradually appeared on his arms and behind his ears.

The young man looked at him in shock, but he didn't call for help. He looked at him with big eyes. There was no fear or greed in his imagination, but he was as clear and gentle as ever.

Dongze couldn't make a move and let him go.

Later he learned that the young man was called Song Xun, the son of the mayor of Lanhai Ancient Town, who studied well since he was a child, and has been preparing for this year's autumn.

"It's too difficult to endorse." Song Xun couldn't help complaining to him, "But my father is very strict. If I don't pass the exam this year, I will definitely be scolded."

Dongze looked at the boy's face wrinkled into a steamed stuffed bun, he found it cute, but couldn't help feeling sad.The biggest worry of human teenagers is that they are afraid of being scolded by their fathers, but they have to worry about their names day and night, which shows how unfair the Creator is.

Song Xun seemed to be aware of his depression, put down the writing brush, and gently held his hand: "If you pass the exam, you can become an official. When the time comes, I will leave here and go to a quiet and hidden place. You and I Let's go together, I will protect you!"

Dongze only took it as a joke: "You protect me?"

"That's right!" Song Xun said, "Look, my father is the mayor of the town, and everyone listens to him. At that time, I will also be an official, train a group of powerful officers and soldiers, and then hide you in my house , whoever dares to hurt you, I will beat him out immediately!"

Dongze wants to say that you are too naive, you don't know how terrible those monks are, and no amount of officers and soldiers can beat them.But when he looked at the young man's extremely serious eyes, he suddenly couldn't help feeling hopeful.

This seems like a viable solution.Those people only know that Yuren is in Lanhai. If he leaves his hometown to live on land, maybe he won't be caught?

Although it was painful to live on the ground for a long time, Dongze felt that he could bear it when he thought of Song Xun by his side.

"Okay." He squeezed the boy's fingers and said seriously, "I'll wait for you."

Unfortunately, Song Xun's father, Song Ruohong, discovered the existence of Dongze before Qiu Wei came.

Seeing the familiar excitement and greed in the eyes of the middle-aged man, Dongze knew he had to leave.

——The fact is so ridiculous, not only monks, but even ordinary mortals are thinking about him, wanting to eat his flesh to gain immortality.

But human beings are not Dongze's opponents. He repulsed the servants who were chasing him, and stretched out his hand to Song Xun under the fearful eyes of everyone: "Let's go!"

Song Xun shook his head with sad eyes: "I'm sorry, I can't go with you now..."

He has a family, father and mother, so he can't be so willful.

Dongze said anxiously: "Then what should you do?"

"Father scolded me at most, it's okay." Song Xun smiled at him comfortingly, waved his hand and said, "Ah Ze, you go back to the sea and wait for me. When I pass the exam this year, I will go to you immediately!"

Seeing more and more human beings gathered in the town, Dongze felt uneasy, and thought about what Song Ruohong would do to his son, so he nodded, said "I'll wait for you", and quickly disappeared in Lanzhou. sea ​​town.

But there was too much commotion just now, and many townspeople saw Dong Ze and realized that he was not human.They couldn't think of it as a mermaid, so they speculated with their usual thinking: "Could it be that it's a monster!?"

Seeing that Dong Ze had run away, Song Ruohong knew that the plan had failed, and he didn't want to reveal the fact that he had caught the mermaid, so he went along and said, "That's right, that's a monster, but I've already sent someone to drive him away with serious injuries, so you don't need to worry."

When the townspeople heard this, they all felt relieved, and they were very grateful to Song Ruohong, and they trusted Song Ruohong even more.

Song Xun was also scolded by his father, but Dongze left smoothly, and he was very happy, so he studied harder to welcome the coming autumn.

Originally, this matter should have passed like this, but half a month before Qiu Wei, a rumor suddenly spread in the town.

Rumors say that someone has seen that something is wrong with the young master of the mayor's family. Every night, strange scales will grow on his body, which looks like a terrible monster.

Rumors said that Young Master Song was infected by the monster back then, and now he is no longer a human being, but a monster in human skin.

There is no basis for this statement, and no one really saw scales growing on Song Xun's body.But many people have seen Dongze escape that night, said goodbye to Song Xun intimately, and said "I'll wait for you".

The more they thought about it, the more certain they thought it was the ironclad proof that Young Master Song had turned into a demon.

The rumors are rampant and intensified.The people in Lanhai Ancient Town are surprisingly stubborn and ignorant in this regard. They firmly believe that monsters are evil and ugly and can kill people, just as they firmly believe that there are gods who protect them in Lanhai.

The townspeople flocked to the mayor's house and asked the mayor to hand over Young Master Song to restore the peace and tranquility of Lanhai Ancient Town.

They said that the mayor is the person they trust and rely on the most, and they believe that even if the monster is the mayor's son, the mayor will definitely not cover it up.

What choice does Song Ruohong have?

He spent several years, and even sacrificed many young lives, just to make himself another "god" in the hearts of Lanhai townspeople.If Song Xun is not handed over, everything he has painstakingly managed will be broken, people will not continue to trust him, and even label him another "monster".

He knew the nature of these people well.

So, Song Ruohong sent his son to the execution platform in awe-inspiring manner, and carried out the execution of the "monster" in full view.

The monster died, and people finally let go of their hearts. Some people even suggested that the corpse of the monster could be thrown into Lanhai as an additional sacrifice to the gods.

The farce ended, no one knew what the truth was, and how the original rumors came about.

Actually it is.

There was a young man named Zhao Cong in the town. He failed many times in the scientific examinations. He was not promising at all until he was 25. He was complained and nagged by his mother all day long at home.

In stark contrast to him was the young son of Mayor Song's family.Song Xiaogongzi is talented and intelligent, and has read poetry and books. He is only 17 years old this year, but he is the most promising candidate in the town.

Zhao Cong thought, why?

Why is it that Song Xun has a good background and can study, but he only has a mother who sells noodle stalls and talks about him every day?

He is jealous.

So before Qiu Wei approached, he said to his mother, Mrs. Song, that I saw Mr. Song from the mayor's family last night. It seemed that scales had grown on his body, which was exactly the same as the monsters that appeared in the town before.

Li Shi was shocked, fearful and excited, and couldn't wait to tell others the news.

So the innocent boy was hanged, to the cheers of the people.

Dongze was in the sea, counting the days of Qiu Wei waiting for the boy's arrival, but he sensed the boy's scent in advance.He approached the shore full of expectations, quietly floated to the surface of the sea, but saw a group of people kneeling on the shore, the leader was Song Ruohong, the mayor of Lanhai, with a solemn and pious face, bowing towards the direction of the sea while muttering words.

Dongze couldn't understand what they were saying, but he could see clearly.

He saw the men throw something into the water.

——It was the corpse of the boy he had been waiting for for a long time.
