Chapter 168: Lanchen Chapter ~ Nanhai Wharf
It is rumored that the South China Sea is inhabited by a merman clan, and thousands of years ago, the sea war between the merman and the dragon clan caused a disaster of earth movement, and the waves swept away the towns on the shore, taking countless lives.
It is also because of this that the two major races committed a great sin and were punished by the divine realm.
The merman tribe was relegated to the bottom of the sea, and its shark pearl temple sank into the sea forever, and he was never allowed to set foot on land for half a step; The ancient dragon clan was abolished and entered the secret realm of the South China Sea to take charge of the rain in the world.
On the coast, in a teahouse a little far from the port, there is a storyteller there who is telling the story of the great battle between the mermaids and the dragons.
He was dressed in a simple and coarse cloth robe, and he looked neat and tidy on the whole, but after staying at the beach for a long time, his cheekbones seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, and in the eyes of others, they were as black as charcoal.
In a corner of the teahouse, by the open window, a man and a woman are sitting in their seats drinking tea.
It was Gao Qingzhu and Xu Nanxing.
Facing the sea breeze with a slightly salty smell, the hair of the two of them rose slightly.
Gao Qingzhu glanced sideways in the direction of the sea, the port wharf was full of people, either carrying goods or selling on the street, even if it was not close, his ears were still filled with noisy sounds, endlessly.
She drank the last sip of tea in the cup before she slowly spoke, "Why hasn't Jing Lai come yet?" I've been waiting all morning, and I'm hungry. ”
"Then order something to eat, I'm a little hungry too." Xu Nanxing touched his stomach, pouted and said, "But this teahouse, it seems that there is nothing to eat, or let's go to the restaurant next door to have a look." ”
The two of them were about to get up and leave, but a figure swayed into the teahouse and walked straight towards the two of them.
Jing Lai, as usual, was dressed in black, with a sturdy figure tall and handsome, and when he entered the door, he attracted the attention of many women like Xu Nanxing before.
"Young master, I'm late." Jing Lai put the saber on the table, and then sat down, when his gaze swept over Gao Qingzhu, he only bowed his head slightly to show politeness, and then saw him leaning into Xu Nanxing's ear and whispering.
How? Is there anything you can't say to your face?
Gao Qingzhu looked at the two of them dissatisfied, waiting for which of them would speak first.
After hearing what Jing Lai said, Xu Nanxing's eyes stopped on Gao Qingzhu, only to hear him say with an embarrassed face: "Jing Lai wants to talk to me alone, Qing ...... No, Mo Lan, do you want to go outside first? ”
When looking at Gao Qingzhu, Jing Lai's face looked a little vigilant, maybe he didn't trust her enough.
Gao Qingzhu saw this, so he put away his displeasure and walked away with interest.
Bored, she paced in the direction of the pier, a fairly wide road, lined with stalls, to be honest, a little messy, closer to the sea, you can smell the fishy smell and drill into the nose, that is the fisherman's exclusive area, specially used to sell the caught seafood.
Ships close to the shore range in size and size, blocking the entire dock almost impermeable.
Gao Qingzhu couldn't help frowning when she walked by, such a dirty mess made her can't help but dislike it.
Suddenly, she was distracted by a white line in the distance.
The long white line stretched across the sea, and Gao Qingzhu couldn't see what it was because of the distance, but she was sure that the slender white line was constantly wriggling.
Under his feet, he trembled lightly for some reason, and Gao Qingzhu's heart couldn't help beating faster, as if he was pressed by a stone, and there was always an indescribable feeling of being unable to breathe.
She put her hand on her breast, feeling the restless restlessness, and when she raised her eyes again to see what the white line in the distance was, she noticed that it seemed to grow a little larger.
What the hell is that?
"I don't know what Jing came to him for, but after that, there should be a tsunami in the South China Sea."
The words that Hearteater had said yesterday suddenly flashed through his mind.
Gao Qingzhu was startled, and his staring eyes stared straight at the solid white line above the sea level in the distance.
Suddenly, a stumbling high-speed worker was knocked down by a worker carrying goods on the road, and when she fell to the ground, she felt more clearly that the ground under her was trembling at a high frequency.
"It's not going to be a tsunami at this time, right?" Gao Qingzhu muttered to himself.
Speaking of which, the mood swings have been a lot bigger recently, and in the 21 years of life, Gao Qingzhu finally realized what it means to be apprehensive, is it because the heart has not continued to swallow fear?
But then she furrowed her brow even deeper, for she didn't like the feeling, the feeling that made her feel uncomfortable.
Although it restored the emotions and feelings that some people should have, on the whole, it did not have much impact on Gao Qingzhu.
didn't have time to think about these anymore, Gao Qingzhu hurriedly got up, but found that the crowd around him had begun to be restless, and they seemed to have noticed the vibration under their feet, but the white waves in the distance were still far away, and no one noticed them in the panic.
It wasn't until a young man found out that he pointed to the wave, which resembled a line, and shouted, "The ground moves, the ground moves!" The sea is angry!! ”
Suddenly, the crowd scattered and fled, Gao Qingzhu wanted to return to Xu Nanxing's side quickly, but was knocked to the ground by the surrounding crowd.
She was about to get up when the crowd behind her crowded up again......
……
Just after Gao Qingzhu left temporarily, in the teahouse, Xu Nanxing and Jing Lai were talking.
"Jing Lai, what's the matter, just say it, she's already gone." It wasn't until Gao Qingzhu walked away that Xu Nanxing withdrew his gaze from the gaze that had been looking at her and said.
Jing looked hesitant, his eyes wandered, and he paused for nearly half a minute before he spoke: "Young master, I have a question I have always wanted to ask you." ”
"You say."
"The young master seems to be different from before these days."
This statement made Xu Nanxing suffocate into a dumb person.
He smiled awkwardly and laughed: "This, I'm still the same as before, haven't you seen me for too long, that's why you think I'm different?" ”
"Young master." Jing Lai suddenly became serious, "You can hardly remember everything about the cliff, I thought it was because you were too tired during the jade theft, but I always felt wrong, I always wanted to know, why did the half-demon young master who I have followed for many years become like this......"
The more he spoke, the more Xu Nanxing didn't know how to answer.
He didn't stop listening to Jing Lai's words, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn, and between his eyebrows, a cold light suddenly released, pointing directly at Xu Nanxing.
"Who the hell are you?! Where's my young master? ”
The voices in the teahouse were complicated, and the noise in the ears was very loud, so no one in the hall would notice what they said, but Xu Nanxing heard the sound in his ears.
This Jing Lai...... Did you finally find out that you weren't Xu Xingchen?
A drop of sweat on his forehead quietly slid down, Xu Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that the burden on his body was much lighter.
"Hey, forget it, now that you know, you know, if I explain, I guess you won't believe it." Xu Nanxing's tense face also relaxed, and said, "Then let me reintroduce myself, my name is Xu Nanxing, and I am the descendant of the young master of your family, Xu Xingchen, and like him, I am also a half-demon." ”
I didn't expect the other party to admit it so readily, but I don't know the truth of his words, Jing Lai still has some doubts, and the guard in his heart has not been lowered.
I heard him ask again: "What about the young master of my family?" Why are you impersonating him! ”
Seeing him so serious, and knowing that he was stubborn, Xu Nanxing didn't know how to explain it for a while.
"I guess you don't believe it when you say it, in short, I am now the young master of your family, I share a body with him, this dream ......" As he spoke, Xu Nanxing dizzed himself, and explained his origin to a character in a dream of his death, Xu Nanxing felt that something was wrong no matter how he thought about it, and he struggled for a long time, and finally gave up explaining.
"In short, your young master is fine, and my current identity is that of your young master, there is no doubt about it." Finally, Xu Nanxing summed up.
Jing Lai looked at him inexplicably, with more doubts between his eyebrows, and his original vigilance was a little less.
He suddenly lowered his head and said gloomily: "Actually, I don't know, the demonic energy you released that day is extremely similar to the young master, almost identical, I really can't tell the difference." ”
Speaking of the forbidden land, Jing Lai buried his head lower, and there was a little less hardness in his dark eyes, "During this time, I have been uncomfortable in my heart, that time in the Kunlun Forbidden Land, I did something that I can't forgive myself in my life." ”
After Xu Nanxing heard this, he immediately understood what he was referring to.
On that day, Jing Lai killed He Xinlan by mistake because of Bi Fangniao's illusion.
Although He Xinlan is the immortal of Kunlun, she has never done anything evil in her life, and although she has not spent much time with her, she can also see her integrity and kindness.
Jing Lai, as a half-demon, like many half-demon compatriots, is spurned and hated by people all over the world, but he does not kill innocents indiscriminately, so after stabbing He Xinlan to death with a sword that day, the guilt in his heart is like a silver needle, piercing his skin incessantly, and enduring the pain day by day.
"You ......" Xu Nanxing saw that something was wrong with his expression, and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start.
After a while, Jing Lai sighed and said, "Actually, I came today to say goodbye to the young master, but since you are not the young master, then I will no longer ......."
Before he finished speaking, the teacup on the table kept shaking, and Xu Nanxing and Jing Lai glanced at each other after noticing it.
"What's going on?" I only heard Jing Lai ask.
Xu Nanxing looked out the window and found that on the distant sea level, there was a long white line that was constantly twisting and writhing above.
The ground under his feet began to shake, thinking of what he said yesterday, Xu Nanxing immediately reacted.
It's a tsunami!
At the same time, the noise in the teahouse was even louder, and everyone wondered what the slight shaking of the ground was.
Suddenly, the amplitude of the shaking suddenly increased, and the tea bowl on the table was also shaken to the ground.
The sound of "clang" reverberated in my ears.
The magnitude of the earthquake is increasing, and everyone must get out of here now! If you wait for the tsunami to hit, no one will survive.
The tables and chairs are crooked, the current situation is urgent, and they can no longer stand firmly, and the voices in the hall have changed from talking to screaming for help, and everyone has squeezed out of the door of the teahouse and ran outside, and after a while, there was no one in the Kung Fu Teahouse.
Xu Nanxing was worried about Gao Qingzhu, who was alone outside, and rushed outside the house to find his figure.
However, the staggered crowd of people poured out of the pier, which made Xu Nanxing unable to find it.
Jing Lai followed, and the fast-moving Tongren was also helping to find Gao Qingzhu's figure, but he never found anything.
"I'll help you find it on the other side, you from this side." Jing said, the people have run out.
Xu Nanxing couldn't rest assured, contrary to the crowd pouring out, avoiding the crowd, he ran all the way in the direction of the dock, and while his eyes swept over, the uneasiness in his heart gradually increased.
Gao Qingzhu, you must not have anything to do......
