The concentric circles of buildings and the square stone pillars engraved with strange spells create a special pressure that prevents the sea from entering the domain, so that people can no longer swim and can only walk on the ground, just as all generals must dismount when entering the Duanwang City. Yulan took Cheng Jing to walk inside layer by layer, and the buildings on each floor made him breathtaking, and the sound of "dong dong" came from time to time, which made him very puzzled. After walking to the first floor, Cheng Jingzhi looked at the palace in the center of the circle, and the huge stone statue standing at the top was extremely real, which made Cheng Jingzhi gasp and shudder.

Yu Lan said: "It's almost late at night, you go back to the Right Protector's Mansion with me first, and then go to see the domain master tomorrow." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Jingzhi was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time, "You can't see the sun or the moon here, how do you know it's almost late at night?"

"Haha. Yu Lan couldn't stop laughing, "We naturally have a unique method of timekeeping at the bottom of the sea, don't you hear the sound of 'dong dong'? This is the same as the fight on land, issued by the old turtle on patrol beating his back according to the hour, and now it is almost time." ”

"I see. Cheng Jingzhi suddenly realized, "I am naturally a guest." ”

Yu Lan was as cheerful as a small fish, and took him into a large courtyard on the right, in the domain of the Runxia clan, the status of the protector was second only to the domain master, and the mansion was naturally very spacious. The layout of the courtyard of the Runxia clan is different from that on land, and it does not distinguish between the front and rear yards or the east and west wings, but there are a number of stone houses scattered together, which seem to be chaotic, but in fact, they are secretly in line with the direction of the stars.

Yuge and his wife were worried about their daughter's safety and did not go to bed, but when they saw that Yulan had returned with a stranger, they hurriedly ordered them to be taken to the front hall. The fish pigeon knew that the road from land to the sea was long, and it was quite physically necessary to swim in the sea, so he instructed his subordinates to make more dishes and send them to the front hall.

Seeing Yu Ge and his wife enter the front hall together, Yu Lan bowed down: "Yu Lan see the master, madam." Then he introduced: "This is Cheng Jingzhi, the senior brother of Wu Ma Xin, nicknamed 'the earth is not bloody', and this time I went to sea thanks to their help." Cheng Jingzhi hurriedly clenched his fists and arched his hands: "See the right protector." ”

"No courtesy, no courtesy, hurry up. "The fish pigeon has never had a frame for the subordinates, and Mrs. Yu even pulled the fish orchid to ask long and short questions.

Cheng Jingzhi's stomach "growled", counting that they had not eaten for nearly a day and a night, Yu Lan gushed about his experience on land to the Yu Pigeon couple, and had forgotten about hunger, and he had to endure it. Yu Ge naturally saw it, and interrupted Yu Lan and said: "Lan'er, don't worry, the wine and food are ready, let's chat while eating, and let Brother Cheng taste the sashimi of our Runxia clan." ”

After Yuge and his wife sat down, Cheng Jingzhi sat down.

Cheng Jingzhi was stunned when he looked at the table full of dishes, and he didn't know how to eat at all. The lobster that lifted its back shell, the wriggling sea intestines, the shells and snails crawling everywhere, the sea snake twisting and writhing together, the small octopus that sucked the cup and locked the plate, and in the middle was a strange fish with a large mouth with a bloody basin, which was twice the size of an adult, the fins and scales on the body were intact, and a sharp long knife was placed aside.

How should this be eaten? He looked at Yu Lan and found that she was staring at him with an embarrassed look and secretly snickered, this naughty girl, alas.

Far under the seabed, it is naturally impossible to have barbecue and fried things, but Cheng Jingzhi has another question, didn't Yu Miao say that the fish and crabs are all the people of the Runxia clan, why do they still eat these alive?

Yu Ge picked up the wine glass and said: "This wine is made of sea urchins, the best way to drive away the cold, you enter the sea late at night, you must drink a few more glasses, but I don't know if this taste Cheng brothers are used to drinking." ”

"Thank you. Cheng Jingzhi drank the yellow liquid in the wine's arms, the taste was rich and sweet, but after entering the throat, it turned into a spicy, a stream of heat rushed straight to the stomach, and he suddenly felt warm all over his body, and the cold air was discharged from the pores, "It's really good wine." ”

Yu Lan recounts what happened on the landing, while grabbing a live sea snake to eat, this scene is simply not related to the beautiful little girl. After all, he was so hungry, Cheng Jingzhi reluctantly picked up a few pieces of lobster meat, but he didn't expect it to taste extremely delicious, and it melted in his mouth, which was really delicious.

After listening to Yulan's speech, Yuge couldn't help but sigh for a while, but he was also relieved, nodded and said: "It is really a blessing for Miao'er to be able to meet Brother Cheng and several other brothers, and the old man is very grateful." ”

"Lord Dharma Protector is polite. Cheng Jingzhi hurriedly clenched his fists.

Taking advantage of the slight drunkenness, Cheng Jingzhi grabbed a live octopus and stuffed it into his mouth, but was firmly sucked by eight tentacles, and just pulled down this tentacle with his hand, and the tentacle sucked into his face with a "snap", making him scramble, but he couldn't eat it in his mouth, which caused Yulan to laugh, and Yuge and his wife couldn't help but laugh and pursed their mouths hard.

Yu Lan grabbed the octopus from his face, tapped the position between his eyes with her hand, and the octopus immediately lowered all its tentacles, and then handed it back to him with a grin. Cheng Jingzhi was surprised, took it and put it in his mouth, and the guy really stopped moving, and let him eat it happily.

Yuge said with a smile: "Lan'er, when Cheng Shaoxia first arrived at the bottom of the sea, you can't make fun of others, you should explain more to him." ”

"Yes, sir. Yu Lan replied with a smile, sticking out her tongue mischievously.

After three rounds of drinking, Cheng Jing glanced at Yu Lan, and then she suddenly remembered that there was still something to do, and hurriedly asked: "Master, Brother Cheng wants to stay at the bottom of the sea for some time and learn marksmanship, I wonder if I can ask the master to talk to the domain lord and find a place to live for him?"

"Haha, that's okay. Yu Ge smiled, "There may be many inconveniences in the city-state, please forgive Cheng Shaoxia." There is a stone house in the place where the twenty squid shoots outside the city, I usually live there temporarily when I am hunting, if you don't dislike it, you can live there first, and then build a stone house for you in the city with the consent of the domain master. ”

There are no cattle on the bottom of the sea, and the method of calculating the distance is of course different, using a measure of the distance that an adult squid can reach in a single jet of water.

"The Right Protector is serious. Cheng Jingzhi stood up flattered, hugged his fists and said, "It's a good idea to have a stone house to live in, and I don't dare to ask for anything else, please don't bother with the right protector, I'm really grateful." ”

"Cheng Shaoxia doesn't have to be restrained, you are the little girl's life-saving benefactor, and you avenged Xiu'er, these are naturally what I should do, as long as I don't feel wronged. Yu Ge smiled and said, "As for the maids and servants, there are more than thirty in that stone house, and if they are not enough, I will send some more tomorrow." ”

Cheng Jingzhi was taken aback, and refused repeatedly: "I am very grateful for the kindness of the right protector, but I am a rough person below, and I am used to going alone, please dismiss them all, I am enough alone." ”

Seeing that he was sincere, not pretending to be reserved, Yu Ge was quite appreciative, nodded and smiled: "It's okay, everything is according to Cheng Shaoxia's requirements, if necessary, just come to me, you're welcome." ”

"Thank you, Right Protector. Cheng Jingzhi said goodbye, and then returned to his seat.

Yu Ge said: "Lan'er, the rules of the seabed are not as good as those on land, tomorrow you explain to Cheng Shaoxia, and you will avoid trouble in the future." ”

"Hmm. Yulan just stuffed a large piece of fish meat in her mouth, and she couldn't speak, so she had to nod her head.

After a few more chatters, they went back to rest. Cheng Jingzhi couldn't believe that he had eaten five lobsters, ten small octopuses, two sea snakes and a large piece of strange fish meat.

Yulan took Cheng Jingzhi to his bedroom, and said while making the bed: "You can't make a fire at the bottom of the sea, it's really hard for you." ”

"It's okay, this thing in the sea tastes the most delicious only if you eat it this way, but it's just ......"

"Swallow and spit out, have something to say, but what?" Yu Lan made the bed, turned around and looked at each other angrily, she was straightforward, and hated it the most.

"Didn't Miss Yu Miao say that the fish are the people of the Runxia clan, why do you still eat fish?"

"Oh, that's it. Yuhua laughed and trembled, "You local dogs raise dogs, don't you also eat dog meat?"

"Uh......" Cheng Jingzhi was a little speechless.

Yulan liked to see him eat deflated, and said with a smile: "As long as it is an aquatic tribe, it is all the people of my Runxia clan, but there are also noble and low." The golden carp that my young lady said is called 'Xiao Ke' in the undersea dialect, it is a noble fish, it can be transformed into a dragon when it crosses the dragon gate, and it can become a dragon with cultivation, so it naturally cannot be bought and eaten by those earth dogs. Other low-level fish or shrimp and crabs are different, and the law of weak meat and strong is the same everywhere, so the Runxia people also have the saying that 'big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp', and we eat big fish. ”

"Oh oh, I see. Cheng Jingzhi nodded in response.

"Okay, let's rest early, I'll go to the stone house outside the city early tomorrow morning. Yu Lan said, turned around and left the bedroom, and flicked the strange fish that glowed on the wall, and the room fell into darkness.

"Hmm. Cheng Jingzhi agreed, his body was tired and his alcohol was surging, and he soon fell asleep. The next day, Cheng Jingzhi woke up with a drum-like sound, very energetic, he didn't expect to sleep so peacefully at the bottom of the sea. He looked out through the membrane window and saw a huge seahorse, constantly swimming around, making a "clucking" sound. Could it be that it's singing? Haha, the underwater world is really wonderful.

Cheng Jingzhi washed up and walked out of the door, and was bumped into Yulan who asked him to get up, she was very surprised, it seems that the earth dogs are not all dead pigs.

......

The two rushed out of the city, and although the fish pigeon spoke in a low-key manner, the stone house was tall and luxurious. The stone house is circular in shape, resting on twelve stone pillars, next to a spiral stone staircase, which can be kept away from the ground and protected from fish and insects, and the four walls are full of scattered membrane windows, agitated with the sea. The interior of the house is luxuriously furnished, spacious and bright, stone tables and stone chairs are readily available, and the stone beds are inserted horizontally on the wall, staggered, all the way to the roof, it is more than enough to live dozens of people, it seems that people on the bottom of the sea like to live vertically, unlike on land, they sleep on a plane. It was surrounded by hunting tools, and many huge fish hung high up, which seemed to be prey.

"This, that's too big. Cheng Jingzhi said in surprise, "Why don't we go back and let the Dharma Protector change to a smaller one, I'm a little ashamed to live like this." ”

"I'm afraid this is already the smallest. Yu Lan said with a smile, "What's the matter, my imagination is limited by poverty." My lord is the right protector of the good domain, how can he be so stingy, you can live in peace. ”

"Uh, okay. Cheng Jingzhi had to admit that he had too little knowledge.

"By the way, I'll tell you the rules. Yu Lan remembered Yu Ge's advice, and said with a serious face, "We have very few rules here, only three." ”
