Chapter Thirty-Six: An Act Against the Heavens
The merman was a little surprised, because she never said that she had a crush on someone, "Are you going to marry someone in your house?" ”
Xiang Kou Zhu shook his head, "I've already walked that dead end, I won't be so stupid anymore." Pen ~ fun ~ Uncle Ge www.biquge.info arranged a marriage for me, and he was the only son of a wealthy merchant in the imperial capital. I heard that the man was weak and sickly and a medicine jar, and my uncle was hesitant to choose another one for me, but I said it didn't matter, as long as the family was rich and noble. ”
If she marries and goes to the imperial capital, she is far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, and I am afraid that she will not come back. The merman was a little reluctant, because after she left, he would have to live the lonely days before, and no one would talk to him with fish, shrimp and crabs anymore.
But he also knows that mortals are old, sick and die, and marriage and childbirth are all necessary things, not to mention that their life span is not long. Even if she doesn't get married, she won't be able to talk to him for long. In a few decades, she will die of old age, and then he will have to readjust to loneliness, "Take care." ”
She always came at a fixed time, always coming at noon to talk until sunset, although he didn't know how she could sneak out for so long without being suspected by the house, but every time he asked her if she wanted to go back earlier, she would still stay until sunset.
The mermaid said, "Xiangfu is far away from here." "She mustered all the courage to elope with the man and not be caught back, and a girl's family walked so far on two legs.
Xiang Kou Zhu said, "It's quite far. She didn't tell him how far it was.
The merman likes the cleanliness here, not like the noisy waves of the sea, but he also feels that it is too clean, and he wants to find someone to talk to. But this habit is really not good, he is too dependent, he has to adapt to it, and Xiang Kou Zhu will not come again in the future.
The mermaid reached out and poured the fish, shrimp and crabs she brought into the spring, and then dived into the water as well, and sat quietly to Kou Zhu without saying a word, and sat as usual until sunset.
The merman didn't ask her about the day she left the cabinet, but thought that she was going to prepare for marriage and probably wouldn't come next month. But what I didn't expect was that half a month later, Xiang Kou Zhuru took a lot of fish and shrimp in the past.
She said, "I'm here to say goodbye, this is the last time I'll see you." You like to eat shrimp the most, I brought more, you eat more. ”
The merman did not suspect him, and ate all the shrimp and crabs she brought. It was only after eating that he felt that there was something wrong with the things she brought, he was different from mortals, and he would not have any headaches and brain fever, but he had a headache, and he was drowsy after the headache was split.
Xiang Kouzhu tried to pull him up from the spring, but she didn't have the strength. A Taoist girl walked out behind her and helped her pull the merman to land.
Changsheng recognized that Dao Gu, that was Zichen Zhenren.
Xiang Kou Zhu asked, "Can this method really turn him into a human?" ”
Zichen is truly humane, "I told you, I can't guarantee it, I can only give it a try." ”
Xiang Kou Zhu and Zichen Zhenren repeatedly confirmed, "He won't be in danger of his life." ”
"He's a shark, not a human, disemboweling him, move quickly and sew it back again, he'll be fine. But you have to think clearly, and I will cut off a small piece of your heart and give it to him. From now on, there is one piece of your heart missing, which is what mortals call heart disease, and from now on you will often attack, and the attack will be worse than death. I can't guarantee how long you'll live. ”
"I'm willing to try, as long as he can become a human I can stay with him. If I tell him about the marriage, he has a word to keep me, even if there is only a little bit of my existence in my heart, I am willing to never marry for the rest of my life, and live in seclusion here and here, away from the world, but I hope to talk to him every day. But there is no self in his heart, things gather by like, and people are divided by groups. Even if he wants to stay, he is not a mortal like me. ”
Zichen Zhenren laughed at her stupidity, "You like him, why have you ever asked him if he likes you?" If you are wishful thinking like this, even if you really turn him into a human, maybe he will only hate you. ”
Xiang Kouzhu was stunned, "It's okay to hate, hate is also a kind of love." ”
"I have met many selfish mortals, and you are a little different among them, you are obsessed with love. Before your lover didn't love you anymore, you killed him ruthlessly, eating his flesh and drinking his blood. Now you are going to defy the will of heaven and turn the shark into a human at any cost. It's a pity to be in love with you. ”
Xiang Kou Zhu was surprised, how could this Dao Gu know about her murder.
Zichen Zhenren smiled, "As long as I want to know, there is nothing I can't know." Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to find you. You and I are also sympathetic in a certain aspect, and what I want to do is also against the sky, but this ancient art is very profound, and I need to try many times, and you and I can take what we need. ”
The implication is that this Dao Gu is using her to try her ancient skills, but He Kouzhu doesn't care, as long as it doesn't hurt his life, she is willing to try no matter how she wants. "How long will it take to know if it will be successful?"
"In two hours you will know, if it does, his tail will recede into legs, and his appearance will be no different from that of a mortal, and if it does not, it will not change in any way. But one thing I want to make clear, you are selfish and vicious, and if you take a piece of your heart and put it in his body, he may change his heart and become as ruthless as you. ”
Xiang Kou Zhu hugged his body and said, "I like him no matter what he becomes." ”
"It's really his doom to be liked by you."
Xiang Kou Zhu watched Zichen Zhenren draw a talisman on the ground with a whisk, and then motioned for her to lie down. He dug a hole in her chest with a dagger and pulled out her heart, and she didn't feel any pain. Zichen Zhenren's hands were full of her blood, and she could see that her heart was still beating.
Zichen is really humane, "I only cut a small piece, if you cut too much, you won't be able to live immediately." If the flesh and blood remain in the body for too long, it will fuse into one piece and be inseparable again. She picked up a small stone, "I'll use this to separate this piece of your heart from his, and after that he may become hard-hearted in addition to being vicious." But if one day you regret it, at least there is room to turn around, and you take out his heart and take this stone and your heart away. Then his mind will be restored. ”
Zichen Zhenren cut off a corner of Xiang Kouzhu's heart, and also opened a hole in the merman's chest, put the stone and heart into it, and sewed the wound of the merman and Xiang Kouzhu with needles and threads.
She recited the incantation, and Xiang Kou Zhu couldn't understand what she was reading, only felt a dazzling light from the talisman under her, and she closed her eyes and waited for the result.
Zichen Zhenren stayed for two hours to observe, and saw that the mermaid's tail had not changed. Knowing that it was a failure, her face was full of disappointment, and she left the two of them alone.
