After a few more days, when Shao Huan was in good health, Si Ming Fang came to the Xiaoyao Stream, wanting to take Shao Huan to the South China Sea again.

Qi Wu had settled a few days ago, and it was inconvenient for Shao Huan to disturb him, so he only left a brief explanation of the creed, and Fang left with Si Zhiyun.

Si Ming pinched the trick to travel to the clouds, and sat in the clouds, overlooking everything below. The slender jade arm gently brushed the flowing clouds around her, and the girl smiled, suddenly frowned again, and looked up at the man standing next to her: "Si Ming." ”

"Huh?"

"I haven't seen Cha Cha for a few days, and I don't know what she's doing in the Nine Heavens, so she doesn't come to see me. Shao Huan angrily grabbed a handful of Liuyun and spread out his hand, but Liuyun slipped away quietly along the gap between his fingertips, and he couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

Si Ming's face was calm, and he was like a fish in his throat for a while.

Shao Huan couldn't see his expression, and he hadn't heard the memories for a long time, but when he didn't hear it, he asked again: "Si Ming, did you say that Cha Cha is in trouble again?"

"Perhaps. Si Ming was concise and to the point, but he did not mention anything about the events of the Triple Heaven that day.

Shao Huan didn't ask more, after all, it was not uncommon for Cha Cha to get into trouble, with her temper, when she was willing to be obedient was surprising.

Along the way, he didn't mention more tea, but Shao Huan chatted with Si Ming about the congratulatory gifts he received on his birthday, and the atmosphere of the group was much more relaxed. After a short time, the two traveled to the South China Sea.

"Can you still make it out of the secret of closing the water?" Si Ming looked at Shao Huan worriedly.

Looking at the endless surface of the South China Sea, Shao Huan took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the churning fear in his heart, and nodded heavily.

Si Ming held her hand, closed his eyes and recited the secret of closing the water, and the two of them suddenly turned into two streamers and drilled into the sea and disappeared.

With the experience of coming to the South China Sea last time, this time I was also familiar with the road, and with the familiar hand of Si Ming by my side, the party saved a lot of crooked roads, and it didn't take long to arrive at the South China Sea Crystal Palace.

When the shrimp soldiers on guard saw that it was Si Ming, they did not have many obstacles, and led the two into the crystal palace diligently. Walking to the garden, I saw a few mussel girls coming from a distance surrounded by a man in a lake blue brocade robe, and the shrimp soldier who led the way stopped first and saluted respectfully to the man: "See Your Highness." ”

Shao Huan just looked at it. But seeing the man in the blue brocade robe of the lake coming quickly, the man was slender and had sharp facial features, but he had the appearance of a gentle scholar in the mortal world, which was rare in the divine realm.

I saw His Royal Highness Ao Qian walking quickly, and greeted Si Ming from a distance: "It's been waiting for you, why did you come at this time?"

Si Ming also greeted familiarly: "There is something delayed, but fortunately, I didn't miss it this time." ”

Ao Qian smiled, as if he had just seen Shao Xi beside him, and the smile on his face faded slightly, and turned to a layer of doubt.

Si Ming saw it, and took the opportunity to introduce it: "Your Highness, this is the apprentice of the god of non-words, the fairy of the free stream." ”

"It was a distinguished guest who came from a leisurely stream, but he did not welcome him from afar, and he was disrespectful and disrespectful. Ao Qian bowed his hand, very polite.

Less frolic, a little embarrassed smile. However, Si Ming saw it, and took the opportunity to mention today's intention: "Shao Huan can't come out for too long, otherwise the god of Qiwu should go to the Three Heavens to ask for someone." I came here today because I wanted to ask for advice. ”

Ao Qian seemed to have just remembered this, so he waved back the shrimp soldiers who led the way, and personally led them to a hexagonal pavilion in the garden to sit down. There were mussel girls who held melons and fruits and wine, and then received orders and retreated.

"I received your letter, which was vaguely stated, as if it were some secret that no one knew. Ao Qian said casually, pouring fruit for the two of them.

Si Ming and Shao Huan glanced at each other, and their faces were a little ugly.

Ao Qian put the last cup of fruit brew in front of him, looked up and saw the gloomy faces of the two people sitting on the other side, and thought about Fang Cai's own words, and suddenly thought of something: "You guys...... There are no outsiders at the moment, so it is better to open the skylight and say something. ”

Si Ming was shocked, his fingertips crossed the edge of the glass cup, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly looked up at Ao Qian: "We have known each other for nearly a thousand years, and you know my temperament, if it is not a particularly important matter, I will not come to trouble you." ”

Ao Qian took a sip of the fruit brew in the glass cup, and looked at Si Ming with a smile: "Since you said that we have been friends for nearly a thousand years, then you should also know what kind of temperament I have." He spread his hands and said, "Now that all the maids have retreated, let's talk about anything directly." ”

When Shao Huan heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Shark Zhu, we want to ask about Shark Pearl." ”

Ao Qian was shocked, and looked at Si Ming in disbelief. The latter nodded in agreement.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Shao Huan was obviously a little anxious: "I heard that the shark pearl originated from the South China Sea, and I came here to know more news about the shark pearl." Your Highness, since you are friends with Si Ming, can you tell us?"

"How do you know about Shark Zhu?" Ao Qian suddenly asked, his eyes narrowing slightly, and his inquiring gaze swept back and forth over the two of them.

Shao Huan opened his mouth to explain, but he stopped thinking of something and turned his head to look at Si Ming.

Si Ming also had some scruples, but after thinking about so many years of friendship, he also knew that Ao Qian's personality should be trustworthy, so he gradually let go of his guard and said bluntly: "It's also fate." Shao Huan accidentally picked up a bead, and later found out that it turned out to be a shark bead. ”

"Oh?" Ao Qian raised his eyebrows, as if curious.

"However, when the shark pearl was lost and we couldn't find it, we wanted to come to the South China Sea to have a look, and maybe we could know other things about the shark pearl. Si Ming looked at Ao Qian with some embarrassment, "I know that the affairs of the merman clan are taboo in the South China Sea, so if you are very embarrassed, you can also say that I haven't said these words." ”

40,000 years ago, the war of gods and demons, the demon lord led the demon soldiers of Shiyin Mountain to attack the South China Sea, the South China Sea suffered countless casualties, and the merman tribe belonging to the side branch was even more tragically wiped out, and no life survived. Few people know the reason for this, and even if there were, no one would reveal half of it.

He has only become an immortal for two thousand years, and he has never understood the war between gods and demons 40,000 years ago. It was also later that he became acquainted with Ao Qian, and he accidentally heard a word and a half when he was talking, and when he asked again, he refused to say it.

Ao Qian stared at Si Ming for a long time, his eyes sharp and inquiring. Just when Si Ming thought that this meeting would be in vain, he suddenly heard Ao Qian's hearty laughter.

Si Ming and Shao Huan both looked at him suspiciously, but Shao Huan had no heart for the city, and asked bluntly: "What are you laughing at?"

"You've been friends for so long, you've never taken the initiative to ask me for anything, only this time, can I still not agree?" Ao Qian smiled heartily, raised the glass cup and drank it.

Si Ming was immediately overjoyed when he heard this: "Are you willing to say?"

A cup of sweet fruit was stuffed, and Ao Qian didn't go around in circles with them: "The shark pearl is indeed my thing in the South China Sea, and the one you found should be the tears of the princess of the shark clan." It is the last remaining shark pearl in the world. ”

"Is there any other story about this shark pearl?" asked Shao Huan.

Ao Qian frowned when he heard this, and thought about it carefully, but he didn't have much memory: "It's not a secret, although the merman clan is a side branch of my dragon clan, but after all, it happened in 40,000 years, and the water monarch at that time was not my father, but my grandfather." If the merman clan is still alive, in terms of seniority, the princess of the merman clan is still my clan, and I should call her a cousin and grandmother. ”

"Cousin?" said Shao Huan, "how old are you!"

Seeing her reaction, Ao Qian was not annoyed, but smiled: "According to what I heard from my father later, before the merman clan was wiped out, the princess of the merman clan was only seven hundred years old, and she was younger than you and the young fairy. ”

The lifespan of immortals is not the same as that of mortals. Mortals only have a few decades of time, but immortals and even demons can live a long life through cultivation, seven hundred years old...... It's also very young.

Shao Huan put his hands on his cheeks, thinking about the demon gentleman he saw by the lake that night, such a personable man, it was hard to imagine that he was the king of the demon race, commanding the entire demon world. Not only that, but he also led the demons to slaughter the merman clan, causing heavy casualties in the entire South China Sea, and causing such a big killing.

I don't know what the origin of that demon lord is, he has such a great ability!

Although I haven't experienced anything from 40,000 years ago, I've heard a lot about it from various places. It is said that hundreds of years later, they can still dig out a lot of white bones from the ground, which is really embarrassing!

Shao Huan was distracted for a while, and when he came to his senses, he heard Si Ming ask about another matter about Ao Qian.

"It is said that the last shark bead was melted by the tears of the princess of the mermaid tribe before she died, and then gave it to the demon lord. The Demon Lord led the demons to attack the South China Sea and slaughtered the Shark Clan, is it related to the Shark Pearl?"

Ao Qian's face turned blue for a while, he frowned and thought for a long time, but he never answered this question.

Si Ming couldn't figure out for a moment whether he knew the inside story but didn't want to tell him, or if he was just like himself and didn't know where the joints were. If it's the first ...... That's going to be a real trick.

The three of them were speechless for a while, but Ao Qian finally took the lead in speaking, he said: "The affairs of the merman clan have always been taboo that cannot be talked about in my South China Sea, and there is no one at the moment, so I will say a few more words to you." ”

Shao Huan and Si Ming glanced at each other, knowing that this was Ao Qian who wanted to tell them more about the merman clan, so they couldn't help but hold their breath and listen carefully.

"It is said that the princess Shark brought back a person without authorization, and that person was still a member of the demon clan. This matter has been kept very secret, and no one knows about it, but then I don't know what happened, and Jiu Chongtian suddenly found out. Ao Qian's face turned pale, and then he said, "Later, the people from the Nine Heavens came, and the people of the Demon Clan were taken to Kunlun to be punished, and it didn't take long for the Demon Lord to personally lead the demons into the South China Sea, and gave the Nine Heavens a battle post. ”

"Save people because you should go to Kunlun, what is the Demon Lord doing in the South China Sea?"

Si Ming frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Could it be that the people of the South China Sea told the secret?"

As soon as the words came out, Ao Qian didn't intend to hide it, so he nodded: "Si Ming guessed well, it was someone who told him, and the person who told him was the princess Shark." ”

Shao Huan was shocked, but he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

The mermaid is a princess, and as long as she wants to hide the people she brought back, who will know? Even if she does, who would dare to tell the truth?

Then again, I knew that there would be a day when I took the initiative to inform, so I might as well not bring it back in the first place. Or, the Shark Race will not be wiped out, and the Nine Heavens and the Demon Realm will not go to war, causing chaos in the Six Realms.

Si Ming lowered his eyes, and his fingers tapped on the table one after another: "In this way, it will be clear." The Demon Lord's attack on the South China Sea was actually aimed at the merman clan, and his purpose was nothing more than to report the secret revenge, and the reason for the war with the Nine Heavens was because that person was taken to Kunlun by the people of the Nine Heavens to be punished. But then again, what kind of person can make the Demon Lord so mad?"

Ao Qian shook his head, he really didn't know.

This has happened for a long time, and until now, there are probably very few people who know the inside story, and even if they find it, no one will be willing to say more, but they are afraid that there will be troubles.

"I have told you all that you know, and you will forget all these things when you have heard them today, and do not mention them in front of others. Ao Qian paused and deliberately emphasized, "Especially if you can't say this in front of my father, otherwise I should be punished." ”

Si Ming smiled, and they knew each other.

The three of them were silent again, a little embarrassed for a while, Ao Qian looked at Shao Huan and proposed: "Shao Huan Fairy has just come to the South China Sea, and he should not have seen the coral bushes of my South China Sea. Since you are here today, why not stay for a while, and take a look at my view of the South China Sea. ”

"Coral bushes!" Shao Huan cupped his cheek with one hand, and did not mention much interest, "Is there anything delicious then?"

Si Ming was drinking fruit brew, and when he heard it, he almost choked.

Ao Qian looked around left and right, and also smiled: "Of course there is, of course there is." Our South China Sea is not as good as on land, but there are more delicious foods that you have never tasted. ”

Shao Huan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he left Fang Cai's sullenness behind for a while.

Ao Qian immediately called a few mussel maids, and a few beautiful mussel girls led Shao Huan along the path to the main hall in front of him for dinner. Si Ming got up and wanted to follow, but was pulled by Ao Qian.

Looking around and seeing that there was no one, Ao Qianfang grabbed Si Ming and whispered: "It is inconvenient for me to say it just now, but after all, the shark bead is my thing in the South China Sea, and I am still very clear about the smell of the shark bead." ”

"What do you want to say?"

"Although that shark bead is a rare thing, after all, after staying in the demon world for too long, I am afraid that it has already become a monster. Ao Qian deliberately glanced in the direction where Shao Huan left, and saw Shao Huan looking around left and right, jumping and naïve, but there was a faint trace of uneasiness in his heart.

Si Ming followed his gaze and also saw the back of Shao Huan who disappeared around the corner, his heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly pulled him and asked, "Do you have anything else to hide from me?"

was suddenly caught by him and asked, Ao Qian had to feel a little weak-hearted. But seeing that the worry on his face was not fake, he guessed a little, and said to Yifang: "I only heard my father mention it once, the shark bead in the hand of the Demon King...... It's not clean, it's inside, it seems to be hiding someone's soul inside......"
