2202: Fish-people are not merfolk
The sea fog seemed to be a little unusual, even if Zhang Ya and other Gang Sha Realm martial artists had extraordinary eyesight and five senses, they could only see the outline of the city behind the port slightly.
And Li Bi and these sailors could only see the port, and the city behind it seemed to be blocked by frosted glass, which was extremely blurry.
Zhang Ya subconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword in her hand, and couldn't help but say, "There is indeed a figure, is there someone here?"
"Just look at it. Gu Qing happily jumped onto the shore and walked towards the front like a leisurely walk.
Seeing this, Zhang Ya and the others couldn't help but look at each other, didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed, for fear that something unexpected would happen if they lost it. Li Bi, the sailor and others followed suit, hugging and shrinking and moving forward.

Gu Qing suddenly stopped, looked around, and seemed to notice something.
Suddenly, he stepped on the stone under his feet, lowered his head and looked at it curiously, and a little smile suddenly appeared on his face: "You really took great pains." ”
Zhang Ya and the others also looked at it, but they didn't find anything unusual, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that Your Excellency has seen any clues?"
Gu Qing said lightly: "Looking at the mussels and sea fish that appear around from time to time, and looking at the extent of the erosion of the stones underneath, it is not difficult to come to a conclusion, this city did not appear out of nowhere, it has always existed under the bottom of the sea before."
But there was something strange about the sea fog, and we were watching the ship at the stern, and the sailors saw the harbor, but they couldn't see the city, so we thought it had suddenly appeared. ”
Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations from behind, and when Gu Qing and the others heard the voice, they couldn't help but show a strange look on their faces: "Is this the ...... Fish-people?"
Mermaid?
Thinking too much, the mermaid is an upper body person, and the tail is a fishtail.
The guy who appeared in front of him, the lower half of the body is a person, the head is a fish head, and he doesn't look good at all, a disgusting horse.
Zhang Ya frowned: "This is the figure I saw before?"
Gu Qing touched his chin and looked up and down at the things in front of him: "Normal, after all, ordinary people can't survive in the sea for a long time, I'm just curious about how these guys' hands and feet haven't turned into fins and tails." ”
Although he couldn't understand what this fishman was saying, Gu Qing could easily sense her thoughts: "Delicious, people, delicious, make a fortune ......"
"It's kind of interesting. ”
Gu Qing narrowed his eyes, and suddenly slapped out, directly blowing up the head of the fishman, and his gaze turned to another fishman not far away.
This frightened fish-man had a very confused idea at this time, probably "People, terrible...... Strong, priestly ...... God, destroy ......"
"God, priest, is it really a god?" Gu Qing's eyes lit up, could it be a chance this time?
Counting Gu Qing's experience, the ancient tomb is a pit, the Genting Immortal Palace is a pit, and the Mu family's small world is also a pit, it seems that his experience is diametrically opposed to the plot in the tradition.
Everyone is a variety of treasures in the secret realm, and then people fight with each other, or pass the test of gods and horses to obtain the inheritance of some peerless powerhouses.
And what about him?
Either it is the nest of people's painstaking planning, or the big man who has not died, or the Buddha who has lived for tens of thousands of years.
Passing on a hammer.
Treasure a chicken.
Elixir?
Chance, a yarn.
If you think about it with your ass, you know that those strong people are dying, and they still have the leisure to build a huge tomb for themselves, and then deliberately meditate hard to make all kinds of tests?
With this rice time, why can't people do it?
Grab a few more elixirs, maybe you can continue your life, waste your effort to do this thing? I'm afraid I want to eat it.
Gu Qing felt that although the place in front of him had no good intentions towards him, he had a way out, even if he couldn't beat the other party, it was a big deal to buy time for a few more worlds, and then hammer the other party to death when he became stronger.
"Go in and have a look. ”
He smiled and withdrew his gaze, and strode towards the city gate, but his pace was much faster than just now, as if he was afraid that something would be snatched away.
Enter the city, fish-man, fish-man...... There are fish-people everywhere.
People come and go, so it's not lively.
If you exclude these disgusting heads, this place is a human city, with vendors, stalls, merchants, shops, everything.
It's just that the things sold are a bit special, some are weapons, some are unknown pieces of meat and bones, and some are clothes made of seaweed.
Suddenly, Zhang Ya paused, looked at the emblem on a certain shop in shock, and lost his voice: "Longyue Chamber of Commerce !!"
"Huh?"
Gu Qing and the others couldn't help but follow her gaze, with different expressions on their faces.
They saw something that was more in line with the human aesthetic than the fish-people.
Although this guy is not human, compared to the fish heads outside, his head is a little strange, and he has fish scales on his face and gills on both sides, but he still looks a little human.
Looking at each other, Gu Qing detected this guy's thoughts in an instant, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "It's a little interesting, you seem to have a very clear mind." ”
In the past, those fish-people were able to walk and communicate, but their ideas were extremely complex and chaotic, like a group of uncivilized livestock, which was rigidly prescribed by some kind of existence - 'living like a human'.
In Gu Qing's view, this is extremely inconsistent. It's like insisting that a pig learn to walk on two feet and eat with chopsticks.
And the guy in front of him was different, when he saw Gu Qing and the others, the thought was: "Another group of unlucky ghosts, I'm afraid they will soon become fish people." ”
From this sentence, Gu Qing got a lot of information.
The word 'again' indicates that this guy has seen humans more than once, and it is very likely that humans will come in from time to time.
'Soon' means that the danger is coming, although I don't know what the threat is, but according to the worst result, the two god-breaking realm bosses of the Dragon Yue Chamber of Commerce were planted, and this is a big pit, so be careful.
The words 'become fish people' are obvious, as the literal meaning is, after Gu Qing and they encounter danger, they will become this group of monsters outside who are only dazed.
And based on the above three points, you can solve a lot of the puzzles you saw before - why some of these fishmen are dressed in satin cloth and sell swords and blades in their shops......
Now that he saw through his thoughts, Gu Qing naturally wanted to know more, he walked in to meet the other party's gaze, and asked lightly: "The fish people in this city, were they all human races before?"
The fish-man opened his mouth and spat out a series of strange sounds: "Grunt...... Grunt~"
"Why do you have to pretend to be garlic?" Gu Qing smiled: "You can understand my words, don't you?"
"Gollum ......" There was a little panic in the man's eyes, and his voice became more and more urgent.
Gu Qing narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, "Can you listen or speak?"
"Goo,..." he nodded vigorously.
Gu Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "Can you write?"
The other person nodded.
Gu Qing touched his feet, and the hard stone ground instantly turned into a thin mud mixed with moisture: "I asked, you wrote." ”
The other party nodded and squatted down.
"Are you from the Dragon Leap Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes!"
"You've been here for three hundred years?"
"Yes!"
"What realm have you been?"
"The peak of the Soul Refining Realm, but after coming here, I broke through to the Gangsha Realm. ”
"So you can still use your qi and blood to resist some kind of erosion, so that you have not been completely assimilated until now, and you still retain your sanity?"
"Yes!"
"Did this happen to you three hundred years ago?
"It's not!"
......
Well?
When Gu Qing saw this answer, his pupils shrank, he found that his reasoning was slightly wrong, he was silent for a while, and after clearing his thoughts again, he asked again: "You guys...... Did you meet a god?"
The fishman Huo Ran raised his head, he didn't need to answer, his eyes were full of shock and horror, this reaction was the best answer, which proved that Gu Qing was right.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Qing asked again: "The more than 100 Gangsha Realm martial artists who accompanied him at the beginning, the two Breaking God Realm martial artists, are they ...... Priest?"
This time, the fishman froze for a long time, and nodded heavily at Gu Qing.
"I seem to have a rough idea of what you're going through, I'll tell you again, you listen. ”
Gu Qing thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, you went to sea with your goods, but you met a god, this god is extremely powerful, so he caught you.
But for some reason, instead of killing you, he let you build this city, modeled after the city plan of the Terrans.
The rules of this sea area have been tampered with, so there are fishmen, and the first fishmen to appear are those warriors and sailors of the Gangsha Realm as carriers.
However, the former is better, but the latter is not as good as the next generation, and finally becomes those monsters outside, only retaining some of the instincts and wisdom of the human race, which is why it looks so stiff and disobedient.
So there is a hierarchy here, similar to those monsters, just like ordinary people, and you, who are still intelligent, are one level higher.
As for the highest, it is estimated that those powerhouses of the Gangsha Realm and the powerhouses of the Broken God Realm in the past, that is, the priests who are now in charge of the daily operation of this place and the establishment of order.
And you are more special, you were in the Soul Refining Realm before, so you were not qualified to become a priest, but later you broke through to the Gangsha Realm, and you can use Gangsha to resist the slow erosion of the law, which makes you a fish that slips through the net.
The reason why the group of defective products outside are still alive is probably because the gods want to use this to cultivate believers and absorb the power of faith. It's just that for ordinary believers, it's better to have no wisdom, right?
Every once in a while, there will be some human beings who will be captured, the gods have limited abilities, and it is impossible to create life out of thin air, he must use the Terran warrior as a medium to create fish people, and then reproduce from generation to generation.
The reason why you have sympathy for us is because if we can't survive the impending danger, we will become defective, and even if we survive the danger, we will become the priests at most, and we will also become monsters. ”
