Tsing Yi, who couldn't get an answer for a long time, thought about it and put this question aside, then she turned her head to look at Hei Saburo, and asked a little strangely, "Aren't we going up?" ”

"Nope." Kurosaburo tightened his little face, as if he was unhappy, "We're going to stay here for a while." ”

“…… Oh......" Tsing Yi didn't know why Hei Saburo took him to continue soaking in this river, although he was curious, he didn't ask much.

Under the water, a touch of white was like a bolt of lightning, rushing towards Hei Saburo and Tsing Yi.

As a mortal, Tsing Yi didn't feel anything, but as an alert youkai, Hei Saburo immediately sensed the slightest fluctuation.

So he sneered and said in a low voice: "I don't think I can do it." ”

I don't know what tricks he used, Tsing Yi, who was next to him, only to feel that the water where they were began to flow violently like a river and a sea.

Immediately after a flower in front of her eyes, a white shadow was knocked out of the water in an instant.

With a long scream, the flying white shadow slashed in a sleek arc in mid-air, and then fell heavily back into the water.

Tsing Yi couldn't help frowning, although it was only for a moment, but through the white afterimage of Fang Cai, she seemed to see a snow-white big fish tail, coupled with that scream, she immediately understood that it was a mermaid.

As if the mermaid who was thrown out by Hei Saburo aroused his previous doubts, Tsing Yi couldn't help but ask Hei Saburo: "What kind of monster is a mermaid?" Previously, Master Deadwood said that they were the most evil monsters in the world, but I don't know if it's true. ”

"Merfolk are not of my race, and I know very little about them." Hei Saburo didn't hide it, and confessed very simply, "It is said that they only appeared in Fusang at first, with a human face and a fishtail, a vicious nature, and often feed on their own clan. These are all gone, but their flesh and blood are quite precious, and they are precisely the elixir of life that the world cannot ask for. ”

What Hei Saburo said is not different from what Deadwood said, but Deadwood said it in more detail, so it seems that Deadwood knows mermaids better.

"But what is a white fish?" Tsing Yi, full of doubts, continued to ask, "Is it also a mermaid?" ”

"You want to know?" Hei Saburo turned his head to look at Tsing Yi and grinned, "It just so happens that I also find it boring, why don't I take you to see what is going on!" ”

Without waiting for Tsing Yi to nod, he pulled Tsing Yi straight and swam towards the riverbank.

The embankment on the bank of the river looked like a perfect barrier with no gaps at all, but when you look closely, you can see that there are small wooden doors all over it, but the wood of the door panels is almost the same color as the rock on which the embankment is piled up, so that when you look at it from a distance, you can't immediately see the small doors.

Hei Saburo stopped by the river with Tsing Yi, and then he motioned Tsing Yi to look at the third small door on their right, and whispered, "Look at it, the show will begin." ”

Tsing Yi, who was confused, didn't say much when he heard this, so he obediently turned his head and looked at the small door.

The little gate was not far from their position, but it was not close, but it was about six feet away. When Tsing Yi looked at it, the first thing he saw was the unknown sphere hanging by the door. The fine white □□ pocket firmly held it up, and a small gray-black bird seemed to stop on it at random, carefully combing its feathers with its beak.

A few white shadows lingered underwater, as if there was something worth cherishing here.

The little bird, which was grooming its feathers, suddenly raised its head and looked around, and then it flapped its wings uneasily and flew away.

At the same time, the small closed door was pushed open from the inside.

A little lady dressed in flowers appeared in the small door.

"Whitefish-whitefish-whitefish-whitefish-are you here?" The little lady shouted loudly into the river, "I'm coming for you—"

The white shadows who had been swimming around the water stopped their movements when they heard the sound, and four identical faces slowly surfaced.

The little lady didn't seem to expect that her call would call the four mermaids at once, and she immediately muttered in surprise: "Are they the siblings of the white fish?" It looks so similar......"

"You called us, did you want to play with us?" The leading mermaid showed a happy expression and said in a cheerful tone, "It's great, we haven't come out to play for a long time!" ”

"I'm looking for Baiyu-" The little lady hurriedly explained in a panic, "She promised me half a month ago that as long as I looked for her, she would appear-"

"Hey, is that you?"

"Is that you? Not me? ”

"It's the first time I've been here, and I've never seen this person!"

"It's not me, it seems that one of the other merfolk made an agreement with her."

After the mermaids with the same face confirmed each other, they turned back to the little lady and said, "I don't know which white fish you are talking about, now we are the only ones, if you don't mind, just play with us first!" ”

"I ...... I just need to find the white fish......" The little lady looked anxious and was about to cry, "She obviously told me that she had agreed, but I called for several days, but I didn't see her appear." Does she regret it and doesn't want to give me mermaid meat......"

Tsing Yi, who was six zhang away, suddenly widened his eyes when he heard this, and he looked back at Hei Saburo in surprise.

"Why are you so surprised? There are many people in the world who yearn for immortality. Hei Saburo whispered with a calm face, "Go on, it just so happens that I will also see the effect of mermaid meat." ”

Tsing Yi pursed his lips, and what Hei Saburo said in his heart was right, among mortals, there can be a beautiful girl who is begging for the elixir, and naturally there can be other people who pursue immortality.

When those mermaids heard this little lady mention mermaid meat, they immediately showed an excited expression, and said in unison: "We are also called white fish, and we also have mermaid meat, give you mermaid meat, and you can always play with us!" ”

As they spoke, the merfolk scrambled to poke out their long, sharp nails and scratch at their tails.

A few strands of blood slowly spread in the water, and the originally clear water of the river was dyed light red in a moment.

The mermaids raised their hands and tried to hand the piece of pink and white meat with fine fish scales in their hands to the little lady, and at the same time did not forget to urge: "Eat quickly, eat it fresh, so that the effect of mermaid meat can be brought into play immediately!" ”

They had just taken a piece of flesh from themselves, but their faces were full of joy, as if it didn't hurt at all.

The little lady was obviously affected like Tsing Yi, and after half a ring, she shook her hand and took the mermaid meat, showing a dry smile and said, "Thank you......"

"Let's eat—"

"Let's eat—"

"Let's eat—"

The merfolk urged the little lady diligently, and their joy seemed to overflow, and the calm water was splashed by their churning water.

The little lady shook her hands and hesitated, but suddenly a man's hand appeared behind the small door, which crossed the little lady's shoulder and grabbed a piece of mermaid meat directly.

At the same time, a rough man's voice said: "Since it's all decided, don't think about it, just eat it in one go!" Instead of being a tyrant's sacrifice, it is better to turn into a monster and leave here, which is a way to live. ”

A few low sobs of women vaguely floated out of the embankment, and when she heard the crying, the little lady bit her lip, and finally showed a determined expression, and turned directly to hand the mermaid meat in her hand to someone in the embankment.

"Ahh The mermaids clapped their hands happily and shouted, "The white fish will definitely be very happy to know, because there are more white fish, and everyone will not be so lonely when they play together!" ”

The birds that were still walking on the embankment seemed to be frightened, and they spread their wings restlessly, screaming and flying away.

Immediately following the unknown embankment, a little lady's frightened screams were suddenly heard: "Go away--strange-"

The little lady's screams were very terrible, but before she could finish screaming, they suddenly fell silent, and were replaced by the sound of dislocated bones and torn flesh and blood.

Tsing Yi's heart shrank when he heard this, and he was a little scared for a moment. She quietly pinched her tiger mouth and unconsciously leaned towards Hei Saburo's side.

The merfolk laughed more and more cheerfully, as if in response to them, and the cries behind the embankment began to sound one after another.

The cry was as sharp and loud as a baby, so that Tsing Yi felt so familiar, and before she could silently pronounce the name, a pair of incomparably long webbed palms suddenly stretched out from behind the embankment, and grabbed the lower frame of the small door hard.

Then a head full of red hair, and a skinny upper body.

"There's a white fish coming out!" The merfolk in the water stretched out their hands to the white fish that was pulling at the small gate of the embankment, and called in a voice of great joy, "Come to us—"

The ugly white fish slowly moved out, and its fat round fishtail, which was completely different from its upper body, was impressively attached to several other pairs of webbed palms. When it finally lifted half of its body into the air, it took its companions, who were dead on its tail, and fell into the river like a bunch of grapes.

The mermaids laughed from ear to ear as if they had a big baby, and they held the head of a white fish in one hand, as if to soothe a newborn baby, and gently stroked the red hair of the white fish.

"I'm so happy, I really want to be so happy forever......" the merfolk sighed intoxicatedly, and then suddenly raised their heads again, and smiled contentedly at the little door, "Why are you still standing still?" Come and share this great joy with us! White Fish! ”

"Hehehe-white-fish-who's white-fish?" A voice soaked with disgust replied, "Oh—maybe that's what you're talking about? ”

A ball was thrown out.

The leading mermaid subconsciously reached out and caught the round ball, feeling that the ball was heavy, soft, and with a little temperature, the ball felt uneven to the touch.

Then she lowered her head to look at the ball in her hand, and saw that under the messy white hair stained with a little blood, there was a face that was the same as her own.
