In the bamboo forest, Shan Zhuokun gently put a hand on Lisa'er's shoulder, and as he recited "Death", the surroundings suddenly added a dreamy color that had never been seen before, giving people a sense of stability and gentleness, as if they were in two different environments just now.

Under Chu Qi's surprised gaze, after a while, the gate of heaven opened, and a dazzling golden light shot obliquely from the canopy, covering Lisa'er inside. Then, countless blue, bits of bright foam flew out from the top of her head, flying towards the top of the pillar of light. As the bubbles disappeared into the depths of the sky, the golden light vanished and returned to its normal state again.

When everything was done, Shan Zhuokun lowered his head, only to see a blue-gray mermaid with a human head and a fish body still lying on the ground, his body swimming up and down, looking like he was breathing extremely hard.

He saw Chu Qixiang coming to the merman's side quickly, bent down and was about to reach out to grab him, but he hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab the other party, and eagerly persuaded:

"Uncle, since she has already realized her mistake, let's let her live."

"Release?" Chu Qi said in surprise, "She was bent on killing you just now." ”

Shan Zhuokun smiled slightly and said calmly: "As the saying goes, knowing mistakes can be changed, and good is great." Besides, even if she is to be punished, it shouldn't be up to us. ”

Chu Qixiang lowered his head and thought for a moment, and he suddenly realized what the other party meant. Shan Zhuokun is right, you have to be forgiving and forgiving. This is not only to give others a way to live, but also to plant a blessed field for themselves. Moreover, according to all the wrong things that this merman had done before, even if they spared it this time, I am afraid that they would not be able to escape the punishment of the heavenly court.

"Okay, just do as you say." Chu Qixiang said happily.

When Shan Zhuokun heard this, he was immediately as happy as a child.

"Uncle, since it's been decided, let's go quickly."

With that, he picked up the still dying mermaid from the ground, and couldn't wait to walk towards the edge of the bamboo forest.

When Chu Qi saw Shan Zhuokun behaving like this, he could only shake his head helplessly, walked quickly to the front of Yu Chi Baolin, held him in his arms, and followed.

At the seaside, the wind and waves at this moment seem to be much smaller than before. Shan Zhuokun and Chu Qi both stood on the reef on the shore, looking at the deep sea in the dark night from afar. At this moment, they were still holding the wounded merman and the unconscious Yu Chi Baolin in their arms.

"Listen, we can spare you today. But I also hope that you can reflect on it, and don't do this kind of hurtful thing again in the future and fall into the devil's path. ”

After a while, Shan Zhuokun bowed his head and said to the merman.

Then, he crouched down and took advantage of a huge wave to hit and release the merman into the sea. This merman was originally groggy, but when he suddenly came into contact with water, his spirit was immediately lifted. Then I realized that I had been saved.

Although it does not have the same rich ideological consciousness as humans, out of instinct, it is also grateful to Shan Zhuokun and Chu Qi in his heart. After shaking his head and tail in the water for a long time, he slowly turned around and swam slowly towards the depths of the water.

"Uncle, thank you this time. I really don't know what I would have done if it hadn't been for your help. ”

It wasn't until he couldn't see the figure of the merman that Shan Zhuokun took his gaze back and looked sideways at Chu Qixiang beside him.

"When I return to the court, I must explain to the emperor and ask him to give my uncle an official position."

When Chu Qixiang heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "No need. As the saying goes, no official is light. Although I am not in the officialdom now, I also have a sense of ease that you do not have, and I don't want to be a Rausch official in the future. If you like it, we can come and go often in the future, drink and chat. ”

Shan Zhuokun nodded and said mischievously: "This is nature. Uncle, don't worry, I won't eat for nothing. I will definitely prepare tea and listen to my uncle's story. ”

"Okay, that's a deal." Chu Qixiang smiled even more.

Back in the fishing village, Shan Zhuokun and Chu Qixiang first meditated cross-legged to repair the injuries in Yu Chi Baolin's body, and then rested separately.

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Chi Baolin woke up in the expectation of the two. At this moment, although he remembered what happened before he was sealed, he didn't know anything about the demon removal process that followed.

Under his curious questioning, Shan Zhuokun and Chu Qixiang told the whole thing.

After hearing this, Yu Chi Baolin sighed with emotion in his heart. But I regret that I couldn't get involved. Shan Zhuokun saw that he looked depressed, and comforted him for a while, which calmed the other party's emotions.

Because he was worried about going back to the errand, after breakfast, Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin said goodbye to each other.

Although Chu Qixiang said that he was reluctant, he also knew the truth that 'people in officialdom must put responsibility first'. As a result, there will be no more retention. It's just an agreement with the two of them that if they are free in the future, they can often come to the fishing village for small gatherings.

After leaving the village, Shan Zhuokun saw that there was no one around, so he used the green bone sword to return to the street where the sedan chair was parked the day before yesterday.

After a long night of waiting, the palanquin bearers were now sleepy and tired. However, because of the previous orders, he didn't dare to leave first, so he could only grit his teeth and insist, and was sitting in place to rest at the moment.

At this moment, when they saw Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin coming back, their spirits suddenly lifted, and they all got up and surrounded the two.

"Two adults, you're finally back." The head of the palanquin asked with concern, "How is it?" Has the matter been resolved? ”

Shan Zhuokun came to him with a smile, and while taking out some broken silver from his sleeve and stuffing it into his hand, he said:

"The matter has been settled, and the tired brothers have waited here all night, so let's sell some wine to drink this silver and warm up our bodies."

The palanquin drivers were naturally happy to see the adults so compassionate. Hurriedly carried the silver to the close place and thanked him repeatedly. Subsequently, according to Shan Zhuokun's instructions, the two of them were sent to Daming Palace.

In the imperial study, Li Shimin was also shocked after listening to the stories of Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin. He knew that although the other party was only talking a few words now, it must have been a vicious fight at that time. If it weren't for the humerus minister of the Tang Dynasty, how could he handle this tricky matter so properly? It seems that although these two men are young, they are also usable people. Thinking of this, his heart was extremely gratified.

"Two Aiqing, now that you have lifted this invisible turmoil for my Tang Dynasty, you are really the usable ministers of our dynasty. The two of you go back to your house first to rest, and when you go to court tomorrow, I will give you a reward. Li Shimin said with a smile.

Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin glanced at each other, clenching their fists, and their expressions were extremely cheerful.
