Li An held a water lantern in one hand and his mother's wrist in the other, and the two walked slowly home.

"An'er, Linyuan has not been very stable recently, you don't run around, I usually turn a blind eye to you when you run around, you should be careful during the special period, don't let me worry. Twilight said earnestly.

"Mother, don't worry, I will protect myself and you. ”

"Silly child, my aunt has gone to the Water Snake Clan to ask for a spiritual weapon to suppress resentful spirits, and she should be back soon. ”

"Auntie is out of the abyss, why don't you take me there?" Li An pouted, pretending to be unhappy.

Twilight scoffed at her stupidity, "You, you, when you're at peace, you'll be allowed to go to the mortal world to play." ”

As he spoke, the fishtail flashed, and Twilight leaped down from above.

"Sister" Twilight looked anxious, and when she said it, she found that Li An was also there, and she glanced at Li An, and she didn't know whether to say it or not.

Seeing this, Li An first said, "Mother, don't tell me to leave, every time you talk to your aunt, you will separate me, I am already an adult, I can help you share it." ”

Twilight looked at Li'an's eyebrows, and there was more and more of Li'an's shadow, especially the heroic aura, "That's it, Zhuan'er, you can tell it directly, there are some things that An'er should know." ”

Hearing her sister say this, Twilight put down her worries, "Sister, Qingyuan Mansion is gone." ”

Li An only felt her mother's figure flicker, and quickly stabilized her, Twilight gritted her teeth and asked, "What do you mean it's gone?"

"When I went, Qingyuan Mansion was already closed, and the plaques on the gate fell down, and I pulled the past shrimp and asked, only to know that four hundred years ago, the dragon king Lingyi sent troops to clear the Water Snake Clan on the grounds that Qingyuan Jun had a rebellious heart, and finally Qingyuan Jun and Mrs. Qin Yan sacrificed their lives to save the clansmen, but all the Water Snake Clansmen were beaten back to their true bodies and were expelled from the deep sea. ”

Twilight took a deep breath, "So, what about Qingyuan-kun's son, Qingxun?"

"There is no news, it may be missing, it may be lost in that liquidation. Twilight bowed her head back.

Although Li An didn't know who her aunt and mother were talking about, she should be a very important person looking at their sad expressions. What's more, she clearly understands that the reinforcements that can help the merfolk keep them away from the infestation of the spirits are gone.

Li An and her aunt sent her mother back to her room, and after seeing her rest, the two withdrew.

"Auntie, can you tell me about my father?" Looking at her aunt's back, Li An plucked up the courage to ask. It's not the first time she asked, when she was a child, she asked her mother many times about her father, but her mother didn't say anything, and she didn't let her aunt and the clansmen say it, and later, Li An didn't ask.

"Auntie, I know, you want to protect me and let me have a happy growth environment, I didn't ask again, I also know that there are many children in the clan who don't have fathers like me, I want to know, where have our fathers gone?"

Twilight looked back at Li'an's innocent eyes, stepped forward and hugged her into his arms, "Silly boy, your father Lihuanjun was once the most heroic monarch of Zeguo, and our mermaid clan is the best race in the deep sea. ”

Li listened quietly to her aunt's words, looking at her aunt's eyes glowing with memories, from the great war thousands of years ago, to the mermaid clan's spiritual power being sealed and forced to move to Linyuan, and how her mother gave birth to her in a difficult moment......

Aunt's tears fell on Li'an's hands, the cold made Li'an feel scorching, aunt's lover was his father's most powerful general, and he also died in that war, at the end of that year, it should be the day of the aunt and uncle's wedding, and the mother had already embroidered the most beautiful wedding dress for her aunt.

Li An seems to be listening to other people's stories, and knows that it is closely related to herself.

Lihuan, she had heard her father's name many times, but it was the first time she heard a story about him, "My father is a hero, the five thousand soldiers of the mermaid clan are all heroes, they can sacrifice themselves for the people of Zeguo, I can't let my father's sacrifice be in vain." ”

Back in the room, Li An took out the wooden box from his sleeve and took out the black pearl bracelet, "Whether what the man in black said is true or not, I have to give it a try!"

She put the bracelet on her left wrist, and the moment she put it on, there was a piercing pain in her wrist, and Li'an's ears suddenly sounded with boiling human voices, men, women, old and young, crying, laughing, endlessly.

Li An wanted to take off the bracelet, but there was a pain, she raised her left hand hard, and saw that the part of the silk thread strung with seven pearls in contact with the skin was deeply embedded in the wrist, soaked in Li An's blood and then separated from the flesh, the moment of detachment, the wound on Li An's wrist healed, and the noise in her ears disappeared.

The seven black pearls were closely linked to the blood-soaked silk threads, glowing with a strange shimmer, and then faded again, looking no different from ordinary bracelets.

"Mother, I've finished reading my painting book, go to the mortal world to find a few, don't worry, I'll be back soon. Leaving the note, Li An closed the door and walked out.

Dressed in a light blue shirt, his long hair was tied back with white brocade, revealing his slender and white neck. The side face with soft lines is less of the usual laughter, and the fortitude of the eyebrows and eyes actually brings out a heroic posture. If you are familiar with someone, you will be surprised, "Li'an, how did you become mature overnight?"

Without hesitation, Li An walked towards the abyss.
