Chapter 16: The Mermaid
The old monk and Chang Qiluo looked at each other, and it was difficult to decide for a while. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Master, should we go up and have a look?" Chang Qiluo said.
The old monk was silent for a long time and said, "We don't know the details of the other party, let's wait first." ”
As soon as the words fell, the music on the island suddenly rose, two beautiful mermaid demons in palace costumes each carried a palace lamp, followed by a team of shrimp soldiers and crab monsters dressed in generals, there were hundreds of people, beating gongs and drums along the "fish bridge" to the three of them.
"Our host has invited three distinguished guests to the island for a while, and invited three distinguished guests to enjoy their faces!" said a tall mermaid demon to the three of them with a smile on his face, his voice was gentle and moving, and his beautiful face was like a flower, and he could almost fascinate people to death.
"Who is your master?" said the old monk in a deep voice.
"Rest assured, our master has absolutely no ill intentions, so please deign to move, our master has been waiting for a long time. The other, slightly shorter mermaid spoke, her voice so tender and sweet that it was almost impossible to refuse her request.
"What if we don't go up?" Chang Qiluo was unmoved, and asked coldly.
The taller mermaid demon smiled slightly, not angry, and said softly: "Didn't the three of you want to get through the Hidden Hill Sea as soon as possible? Our master is the most familiar with the Hidden Hill Sea, and his ship can safely deliver the three of them to Suo Po Continent." ”
Chang Qiluo and the old monk looked at each other, their eyes showed expressions of surprise and doubt, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.
Zhang Han said what they wanted to say in their hearts: "No, what if we go up and are overshadowed by your master?
The two fish demons glanced at each other, stunned, as if they thought I had said something incredible.
The tall mermaid lowered her head slightly, and said softly to Zhang Han: "Little brother, don't worry, our master is definitely a person who says the same, if you can't believe his words, then there will be no one worthy of your trust in the entire Xuan Realm." ”
She didn't call Zhang Han a little monk, but a little brother, this little change in title made Zhang Han's heart beat faster inexplicably, and an inexplicable excitement arose, and the roots of his ears turned red.
Ever since he became a monk, no one has called him "little brother" to his face, they either call him "little bald donkey", or "stinky monk", or simply call him "little pus". Little brother! It was the first time in many years that Zhang Han had heard such an affectionate title.
His grandmother's! The woman is gentle, and the lethality is great! He muttered to himself.
"It's better to say than to sing, why should we believe you?" Zhang Han said stupidly, although she made me feel inexplicably good, but when it was time to stick to the principles, he was not ambiguous at all.
The two of them suddenly showed a smile on their faces, and the tall mermaid said to Zhang Han in a soft voice with tears in her eyes: "Little brother, if you don't believe us, then all the little demons here will be miserable." ”
"What's miserable?" Zhang Han said in surprise.
The mermaid with a slightly shorter stature continued: "Our master has given us a death order, if we don't invite three of us to the island, we will cut off our siblings to apologize, we are just insignificant little demons, dare not disobey the master's order, please three for the sake of heaven's good life, pity and pity us little demons!"
Zhang Han smiled: "No, right? You can also think of this kind of trick of forcing each other to death? It won't be because we are stupid, right?"
"Little brother, we won't lie to you!" the two mermaids said in unison.
As soon as the words fell, the two fish, including the hundreds of shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind them, suddenly had a sharp dagger in their hands. All the youkai looked at the three of them with a sad expression, and the daggers in their hands stabbed into their other arms, blood splattering, and the daggers stabbed deep into their shoulder sockets.
Such a huge scene of collective self-harm made Zhang Han really startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Slow!"
The two of them looked at him with a sad expression: "Now, do the three of you believe it? If the three of you don't agree to us, then we sisters can only follow the master's order, take the lead, and cut off our hands and siblings first, until the three of you agree." ”
As he spoke, he pulled out the bloody dagger, and with a bite of his silver teeth, the blade of the dagger reversed and slashed at the already injured arm.
The two whip shadows flashed, snapped twice, and the dagger in the hands of the two mermaids was knocked down by the long vine raised by Chang Qiluo.
"What a terrible bitter meat trick!" Chang Qi Luo Gege smiled, "I wasn't interested in meeting your master, but now I am really moved by your master, such a ruthless character, it is rare to see such a ruthless character in the Xuan Realm, this fairy wants to go up and meet such a master, see where he is sacred?"
Zhang Han turned his head to look at the old monk: "Master, should we go up and have a look?"
The old monk's face was as deep as a mountain, and he couldn't see his expression at all, but said slowly: "Since Fairy Chang said that he wanted to go up and have a look, then it would be okay for us to go up and have a look together." ”
The two fish cried with joy, and hundreds of shrimp soldiers and crabs knelt down to the three of them in unison: "Thank you three for saving your life, we are unforgettable!"
After speaking, a queue was set up on the fish bridge, and the two mermaids carried the palace lantern to open the way in front, smiling and beating gongs and drums to lead the three of them to the drifting island.
Zhang Han had a good impression of the two fish, and took the opportunity to run forward and ask with a smile: "Hey, two sisters, what are your names? Are you all fish demons?"
The tall mermaid replied softly: "My name is Ah Tao, her name is Ah Yi, we are all descendants of the mermaid clan, strictly speaking, we are not monsters, because the mermaid clan was originally a deep-water creature on the heavenly pool of the Sumeru Heavenly Realm, but our ancestors wandered to the Ten Directions Demon Land of the Xuan Realm, and mixed with the monsters and dragons on the Ten Directions Demon Land, so people mistakenly called us the fish demons." ”
"Ten Directions Demon Land? Isn't there only the Xuanjing Continent on the Xuan Realm? How can there be any Ten Directions Demon Land?" Zhang Han was confused for a while, on the way here, the old monk never told him in detail about the geographical location of the Xuan Realm.
Ayi looked at Zhang Han in a little surprise: "Little brother, you entered the Xuan Realm without even knowing that there are ten demon lands in the Xuan Realm, where are you from?"
Zhang Han could only answer honestly: "I am from the Tang Dynasty and am a monk. ”
Ah Tao nodded: "I've heard that there is another world outside the Xuan Realm, collectively known as the Desire Realm, and every ten years the Xuan Realm will open a heavenly mirror to the Desire Realm to absorb a group of demons who have passed the cultivation in the Desire Realm to enter the Xuan Realm. ”
Zhang Han was stunned: "Is it? Datang is another world outside the Xuan Realm, isn't that Xuan Realm also a different world for Datang? What is the Xuan Realm? Is it more fun than Datang?"
