3. The Death of the Mermaid

Li Qi was speechless, seeing that Haohan was so resolute, he could only take Haohan to the dark courtyard behind him, this courtyard was very desolate, the grass grew as tall as a man, and a lonely house was submerged in the grass (Chapter 3 of the Legend of the World). Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" That's it. Li Qi pointed to the house in front of him. Haohan squinted his eyes, even in the morning, the dense leaves covered the whole hut like night, the room was dark, and he couldn't see anything clearly, so Haohan said: "Li Qi, light the lamp." "Lighting the lights? I can't see it clearly when I light it up. Li Qi hid behind the vast and said. Haohan looked back at Li Qi helplessly, and said, "There's no way, you're not even afraid of lighting the lamp, then I have to call the sun in." "The sun?" Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said. "Borrow his light and shine in every corner of Lone's location......" Li Qi asked, only to see the vast head raised and shouted, suddenly, I saw a huge banyan tree instantly seemed to have no crown, a magical scene appeared, this big tree seemed to have cut off the crown at once, and only the trunk in the house was left alone. Li Qi was shocked and said, "It turns out that your spell is so powerful. "I used to only know a little about fur, but after becoming a god, I knew a lot of spells, after all, there is a big difference between people and gods." After Haohan finished speaking, he suddenly frowned and asked, "Li Qi, I don't have old flowers, why are the air roots of this tree white?" Seeing Haohan asking, Li Qi also noticed that under the light of the sun, the thick aerial roots were actually snow-white, if it wasn't for careful observation, I would have thought that the sun was shining white, and this aerial root was connected to the trunk of the tree, like an old man's beard. Li Qi and Haohan looked at each other, and they both felt strange. I saw that the vast sleeves waved, the dilapidated house tile section wall disappeared in an instant, and the huge tree trunk was finally unobstructed in the sunlight, at this moment, Li Qi shouted, and the vast looked in the direction of Li Qi's finger, only to see a human face growing on the trunk, an extremely old human face, the rugged trunk probably showed the shape of a limb, the dry trunk, the brown and black color, just like the vastness of the dry corpse, the snow-white air roots grew from the highest part of the main trunk, just like the snow-white hair of the old man, When I walked in, under the human face, the stumbling roots were like the beard that the old man had not shed. "Tree, tree is fine?" Li Qi said tremblingly. Haohan frowned, and asked Zhengse: "Li Qi, what have you done recently, I have never felt that there is a problem with this tree when I have been to Bumengzhou before, but why did I find something wrong under the tree." "No, it's nothing, I've been practicing spells under the tree for a long time in recent years." "Li Qi, it's not that you can't refine the Emperor Heaven Formation at all, it's your Emperor Heaven Formation that is subconsciously overtaking this tree, under your excess, this tree is like a lonely person who gradually lost your blood back then, and gradually woke up." Haohan glanced at Li Qi with a solemn expression and said. "So...... He, the tree is ......" Li Qi suddenly had a strange thought. "Indeed, if Lone guessed correctly, he is my lobby brother - Li Haoran." Haohan said word by word, as if he didn't believe in such an ending at all. "What, people turn into trees?" Li Qi exclaimed. "It's not impossible, the lobby brother was basically like the living dead before he died, maybe the seeds of the banyan tree accidentally fell on his body in the future, and he grew up with his withered body, the banyan seeds were nourished by the dead body of the lobby brother, and the immortal but extremely weak life of the lobby brother could only rely on this tree to grow up, but the lobby brother was too old, just like me, after all, they were all tens of thousands of years old back then, and they gradually became so old that they lost consciousness." Haohan couldn't bear to say, as if he felt such pain, Li Qi's heart tightened, remembering that in just 2000 years, he had lost the vastness of the power of the Emperor of the Firmament, and quickly became a dry corpse with only thoughts, isn't it the same? It's just that one is buried in the ground, and the other takes root with the tree. Thinking about it, Li Qi seemed to want to comfort Haohan, so he grabbed Haohan's arm and rubbed it unconsciously. Haohan knew what Li Qi meant, turned his head on Li Qi's shoulder with a wry smile, and said with a solemn expression: "Li Qi, since you can redeem Lone, Lone also hopes that the entire Houtu family can get your salvation...... You've got it. "I have never seen Haohan speak in a begging tone, Li Qi's heart was shocked, he didn't say anything, just nodded vigorously, Haohan was indifferent, and the hand on Li Qi's shoulder tightened." Li Weilan, you're here......" Suddenly, the tree spoke. "Ah......h After all these years, someone finally found the old ......," the tree continued. "After all, there are a lot of things I don't know, brother, are you hiding something from me?" Haohan asked. "Hide? Yes, you really don't know a lot of things, and the old man wants to hide a lot of things in his heart in this life, but if you don't say it, I'm afraid that the old man won't be able to speak, and the Houtu family, I don't know how many endless troubles will be suffered......" Li Haoran said lightly. "So you really know the secrets of the undead!" Li Qi was startled and stood up from behind the vast expanse. "Yes, it's a long story...... Li Haoran's thoughts went back to a long, long time ago, and he only heard him say slowly: "A hundred years before Azure was born, the Li family was originally a descendant of the gods of the earth in the Heavenly Domain, but our grandfather made a mistake and was demoted to the lower realm by the Heavenly Domain, and since then he has lived a mortal life, since then, the Li family of the Houtu has lived a life of 10 years longer and one year older, in the human world, our grandfather multiplied, gave birth to 8 sons, and then had 20 of our cousins. But life in the world is far less comfortable than in the heavenly domain, not long after, your parents died because they couldn't adapt to the life of the world, and then several of our uncles died one after another, at that time my father, your uncle was very afraid, he was afraid that he would die of illness like this, or grow old rapidly in the years to come, after all, 10 years longer life expectancy can only allow him to live for a few hundred years at most, that is my ghostly father thought of the legend of the mermaid, it is said that eating the meat of the mermaid can live forever, So he led the entire Li family at that time to hunt and kill the clan (mermaid) clan, but was met with the desperate resistance of the clan, at that time the Li clan was still with immortal arts, for the fierce struggle of the clan, the depressed Li family, the unwilling grandfather and father finally because of hatred, face and the dream of immortality, slaughtered the clan that was almost helpless at that time, at that time the clan was already scarce, we wiped out his clan of 10,000 people, when the Li family took the cooked mermaid meat, After eating all the mermaid meat, I saw almost all the family members, and the blood jumped out for a while, and they suddenly became monsters, but they immediately died in the howl of pain, and dozens of people in the family, except for you and me, all of a sudden, all died, and then I knew that even though the mermaid meat has the legend of immortality, but it also has a terrifying poison, basically all living beings who have eaten mermaid meat will die, Only a very small number of people can adapt to this drastic change within the body, and you and I have survived. Concealed the story of slaughtering manfish and piranhas, as a heavenly realm descended to the earth undead to live in this world, and then I found out that I age very slowly, like ordinary people 150 years of adulthood will not age, then I was really very happy, and my heirs, gradually someone inherited my peculiar body, and with more and more descendants, the undead gradually more, but when I was 2000 years old, I found that I was aging, but I was very satisfied, Thousands of years of life is enough for me, I gradually wait for death to come, but after another 1000 years, I am so old that I can barely stand up, but I am so old that I have not died, I began to feel panic, and after another 1000 years, I still not died, and looking back at the descendants of the undead who have aged, and one by one with me, I know that the slaughter of the clan back then, this is the curse given to us by the clan, mermaid meat can live forever, But they have given us a curse of eternal old age and not being able to die, alas...... What's the use of immortality, life is better than death! This is the greatest punishment for our cruelty and greed, and even makes our family bear this endless curse forever. In order not to panic the descendants, at the age of 4,000, I was forced to make a decision to self-exile with the undead who were over 3,000 years old and the old ones, and from then on stipulated that the 3,000-year-old undead must come to this undreaming continent and wait for death endlessly......"

After Li Haoran finished speaking, for a while under the tree was as quiet as death, no one spoke, no one said anything, Li Haoran's face was like dead ashes, and he had always seen through the vastness of the world almost shed tears at this time, the wind blew through the land of Bumengzhou, with a slight smell of blood on the lake, remembering the story of the undead, listening to the whimper of the old man on the island, Li Qi's heart kept echoing the words of the vast begging for himself, and he couldn't calm down for a long time-
