Chapter 224: The Legendary Grass That Can Turn Mermaids into Mortals
"And how did she find you?"
"How could such a delicate woman not recognize her man, she had already found out that I was not Xu Fuxi, but she was also in love with me, so she always pretended not to know. From then on, I decided that I would accompany her through this life. I'll wait for her when she goes to reincarnation. Chaoxi took a sip of wine, "But how can God make it so easy for us to be happy?" ”
Soon Chao Xi found that his spiritual power was rapidly fading, and his time on the shore had come, so he could only find a new soul. But once he eats the new soul, he needs to help the new soul fulfill his wishes, and perhaps he will have to leave. At that time, Chaoxi thought of the legend in the sea, that a mermaid could become a human through a kind of grass. But that biography is too vague, and Chaoxi has lived for so long and has never seen a mermaid successfully turn into a human.
But he wanted to live with Xinlan so much, he wanted to see her hair turn gray and become an old lady.
"You...... That woman wants her lover to see her old and ugly? Gong Ni felt that Chaoxi's idea was very strange.
Chaoxi said: "She will only get old, and she will definitely not become ugly." ”
"But did you show your true face in front of her?" Gong Ni was a little curious.
"That's what makes her special, I've met a lot of women on the shore, and most of them are attracted to my beauty when they see me, and in their pupils I become a fat chicken, and they salivate. And the first time Xinlan saw the real me, she just smiled slightly, and whispered, "It seems that I have found a treasure, and I can only show me such a face in the future, if others see it, it will only increase their troubles." Chao Xi tried to imitate Xinlan's tone.
Gong Ni heard it, Yaocan's grandmother is a master of flirting, this sentence came out gently and gently, and most of what the straight man understood was the meaning of the first half of the sentence, 'I actually met such a good-looking man, but such a face only belongs to me, and I am not allowed to show it to others. But in fact, the point of this sentence is the last sentence: 'You'd better not go out and wave at will because of your good looks, causing trouble and adding to your troubles.' ’
Chao Xi continued, he took advantage of the opportunity to go to sea to fish, and kept asking for clues about the grass in the legend, but neither the mermaid, the merman, nor the dragon clan knew what that kind of grass was.
Until there was a typhoon, Chaoxi met an old man lying on a reef at sea and dying, Chaoxi rescued him on his own boat, but the old man's support was very serious, even Chaoxi had no power to return. The old man thanked Chaoxi for sending him back to the shore, so that he would not go to the ruins after death and never return to the shore.
"I gave him some wine and told him that I was actually a mermaid, and I didn't know why I wanted to tell him some secrets when I saw that my life was about to die, as if they could comfort him. The old man was not at all surprised to hear me, he had been to a very magical place in his childhood. ”
The old man's magical place is in the sea, he went to sea with his father when he was a child, after a rainstorm they lost their way, the boat has been drifting in the sea, at night he suddenly woke up and saw the moon outside the window was red, the whole sea faintly flashed red, when he was fearless and got up to look. This could not help but be amazed, and a very large flower grew in the sea next to the boat, and the red corolla shone faintly in the moonlight, and their boat was not as big as that flower. He didn't know where he got the courage to see what was inside such a big flower, and when the boat approached the flower, he grabbed the leaves of the flower and climbed up, until he reached the top of the flower, only to find that the flower was covered with fine scales, and the stamens of the flower were dark blue, and it swayed back and forth as if it were alive.
Just as the child was attracted to reach out and pluck a flower, suddenly a voice behind him said, "Flower of Soul Slayer, Eats the Soul of Man." The grass of the soul, the soul of the shark-eater. The living can live in the sea, and the mermaid can shed his scales and go ashore. ”
Gong Ni's palms were sweating when he heard this, "Soul Slayer Flower and Soul Grass...... Is it them? ”
Chao Xi nodded, "The old man also happened to meet the flower, so he didn't leave its place." But after all, it proves that there is indeed a flower in this world that can turn a mermaid into a fairy grass, and what coexists with it is a flower that makes a mermaid a mermaid. ”
Since then, he has been looking for the sea all day long, but he still can't find it, at that time, as long as Chaoxi returns to the shore, he will become very old, that kind of old is not the wrinkles of the skin or the whitening of the hair, but the aging of the whole body, walking home from the sea, Chaoxi can't go back in one breath, and he has to rest several times on the way. As long as you walk a little faster, you will be out of breath.
This situation will be alleviated when he returns to the sea, and there is no way for him to stay in the sea for a few days and then go home for a few hours, and after a long time, the time on the shore will become shorter and shorter, and then he can barely stay on the shore for three months in the sea.
"Xinlan let me go, but if I eat a new soul, I'm afraid that if I complete that soul's wish and come back, Xinlan will already go to the netherworld. I've made her wait too long, how can I make her wait indefinitely. Although it is possible for a new soul to buy a new school bag for his child, almost all of the souls I have met have a desire to accompany someone to grow up with and to accompany them for a lifetime. I can't take any chances. Chaoxi sighed, "People, when facing important Rao, do nothing, and when you reach the end of your life, you will regret it." will make that kind of wish, we mermaids can only eat a soul for a few decades, most of the time is used to fulfill the soul's wishes, I feel like a philanthropist. ”
Gong Ni laughed: "Don't be crooked if you eat other people's souls and do something for others, if not, how can you meet your Xinlan." ”
Chaoxi spent all his time in the sea looking for the flower, he swam all over the world but found nothing, and after a long time, he even felt that the flower might not exist at all, and the legend was simply made up by boring people.
"And how did you find it?"
"It's just that I'm too anxious and didn't analyze that old rao's words properly, he has obviously met all the conditions for meeting that flower."
"What?" Gong Ni asked immediately.
"He was disoriented after the storm, the red moon. The time and place are all there. ”
"That's it?"
Chao Xi nodded, "That's it." ”
"How did you find that?" Gong Ni spread his hands.
