The biting cold came from all around, instantly surrounding Zhao Yuru. She shivered with cold, and immediately wanted to climb to the shore.

But she kept sinking, even if she tried her best to swim upstream, she only felt the light in front of her gradually dim.

She's sinking.

Zhao Yuru slowly opened her eyes, the bottom of the sea was not as dark and terrifying as she imagined. It's just silence, no sound, nothing, a vast stretch of seabed, endless silence.

She stopped swimming her hands and feet at this moment, and let herself sink slowly.

The water is no longer cold, but has a hint of warmth.

In the silence, she suddenly thought of her childhood.

At that time, she followed her great-mother every day, watching her train those crying girls, she knew that in Qinyunju, crying was not welcome, you have to laugh!

When I grew up, my mother saw early that she was a beautiful embryo. So I spent a lot of money to hire a master to teach her to play the piano and dance. The woman who taught her to dance was in a wheelchair.

"If I don't dance, I'm going to pick up customers, so I keep dancing, jumping until I'm famous, jumping until my feet are wasted, and this half of my life is over!"

"Yufu, your appearance is hard to find in the world, you don't need to dance for half your life, you can do whatever you want!"

She nodded as if she didn't understand.

Later, when she grew up, she amazed the whole of Shangjing with her first appearance.

She knew that she was a strange thing to live in, and she knew that she could escape the fate of those crying girls.

She could finally decide whether she was going to laugh or cry today.

But she found that she had never cried since she was a child.

I don't know what sadness is, isn't this the greatest blessing in life?

Maybe it's because she's so lucky that the genius played this joke on her.

Can I still decide my emotions at will?

She is no longer Lin Yufu, she is now Zhao Yuru!

Lin Yufu, who was standing on the shore, saw that Zhao Yuru hadn't floated for a long time, and the rope hadn't moved, and she was a little worried.

"Little Liu, there's no problem with this rope, right?"

"No, I've checked it several times!" Xiao Liu nodded and said, "But, it's been almost a quarter of an hour, and ordinary pearl divers have already gone back and forth!" ”

Lin Yufu was a little anxious in her heart, Yan Linjun once said that the mark given to him by that priest was wrong, so it would cause him to have an accident!

Could it be that the priest gave the wrong mark again?

Thinking of this, Lin Yufu couldn't sit still, she turned around and walked towards the Tianhou Temple.

"Miss Yufu, where are you going?"

"Look at it, I'll go back when I go!" Lin Yufu ran away without looking back.

The door of the Tianhou Temple was open, and there was no one around, and it seemed that they were all going to see Zhao Yuru pearl diving.

Lin Yufu clenched the sword in her hand and walked into the temple quickly, only to see a person wearing a red robe with her back to her, and the huge statue of the Queen of Heaven was in front of her.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Priest Yuchuan stood up and said, "Should I call you Miss Yufu, or Sect Chief Zhao?" ”

Hearing the words of the Yuchuan priest, Lin Yufu was not much surprised. She drew her sword and put it against his back and said, "Why don't you let us get the pearl?" ”

"I didn't!" Priest Yuchuan said lightly.

"Then why did you give the prince the wrong mark?"

Yu Chuan smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "He is not qualified, he insists on going into the water!" ”

Lin Yufu's sword trembled slightly, Yan Linjun is not qualified?

"That Zhao Yuru ······"

"She'll be fine!" Priest Yuchuan turned his head, looked at Lin Yufu and said, "It's you, who has always refused to open your heart, you are not only trapped in this body, but also trapped in the cage you have created for yourself!" ”

"You talk nonsense!" Lin Yufu sent the sword to his throat for a few points, and said viciously: "I won't care about the prince's affairs, but if Zhao Yuru has three long and two short, I will definitely not let you go!" ”

"I've seen your father!" The priest of Yuchuan said without changing his face: "He was trapped in the cage he made for himself like you back then!" ”

"Don't mess around here, I'm very good!"

"Yes, he has a peerless appearance and gets along with the man he loves day and night. You should have been happy. But why, are you not as happy as her? ”

Lin Yufu was stunned, indeed, no matter from which point of view, he was more worthy of happiness than Zhao Yuru.

In the past, she was looked down upon everywhere, but now she is praised everywhere she goes. used to dislike him because she caught the prince's jade pendant, but now she has been favored by the prince.

Shouldn't we be happy about everything?

But she rarely smiled, as before.

is Zhao Yuru, although he has become an inconspicuous fat man, he still lives happily every day.

"I envy her ······" Lin Yufu muttered to herself.

"I'm envious too!" Yu Chuan let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "So I know, she will be back soon!" ”

Xiao Liu walked around uneasily on the shore, and Lin Yufu couldn't come down, he was a little worried, so he picked up the rope and wanted to pull Zhao Yuru up first.

But as soon as he exerted his strength, he found that the rope had already fallen off her waist and was not tied to Zhao Yuru!

Now Xiaoliu panicked instantly!

"Don't move!" He shouted, and all the guards around the prince drew their swords and surrounded everyone present!

Then he instructed one of the guards: "Everyone in Gwangju City knows water, go find a few top ones to come over and help find the head of Sect Zhao!" ”

"Yes!" The guards took the order and left, and Xiao Liu looked at those people who were surrounded by him, his face expressionless.

Tu Lijun was a little dissatisfied, he was the general who defended the city in Gwangju, how could he let a small guard of the palace ride on his head and give orders?

"What do you mean, sir?" He stepped forward and looked at Xiao Liu and said, "Where did you put Tu someone like this?" ”

Xiao Liu glanced at Tu Lijun and said lightly: "I'm sorry, Master Tu, I just care about the safety of Mr. Zhao!" ”

"I care too!" Tu Lijun sneered and said, "There are people with good water nature among the soldiers I bring, why don't I let them go down and find them?" ”

"Then you don't have to!" Xiao Liu sank his face, picked up the rope in his hand and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this rope was tied by Master Tu to the head of Mr. Zhao, right?" ”

"So what?"

"Can you explain why the rope is loosening?" Xiao Liu threw the rope down, and his voice raised a few points: "Master Tu, this can't help but make people suspicious!" ”

"Presumptuous! You, a little palace guard, dare to spread wildness on my head? Tu Lijun was also angry!

"Hmph, I'm just worried about Mr. Zhao, if something happens to her, do you think Zhao Jiajun's people will let you go?"

"Don't take Zhao Jiajun to bluff me!" Tu Lijun shouted: "Don't use chicken feathers as arrows here!" ”

After speaking, the generals under him also drew the knives on their waists and confronted the people of the palace.

"Okay, you really have a problem!" Xiao Liu sneered and said, "Who told you to sabotage the pearl diving process?" ”

Tu Lijun saw that a quarter of an hour had passed, and Zhao Yuru couldn't come up, and his heart was much more relaxed.

"Dead people don't need to know these things!"

"You dare!" Xiao Liu shouted: "The prince is still in Gwangju, do you want to rebel?" ”

"The prince failed in pearl diving and died!" Tu Lijun said lightly: "Mr. Zhao's head drowned in the sea, the will of heaven is like this, the new queen of Dayan cannot be recognized by God, this is the queen you have chosen by thousands of people, and it is the immorality of your entire royal family!" ”

"Sure enough, you were premeditated! The prince was right! Xiao Liu sneered, and slowly pulled out the long knife on his waist and aimed it at the man in front of him.

Just when the two sides were tense and about to fight, there was a thud in the water, and a round body floated.

"I got it!" Zhao Yuru came out with a huge shell like a "hibiscus out of the water", with a happy smile on his face!

But the next moment, the smile froze on his face.

They ······ What are you doing?

They all drew their swords and faced each other, with murderous expressions on their faces!

I saw that Zhao Yuru actually successfully picked the pearl! Tu Lijun's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Impossible······ Impossible! He shook his head and said, "Without a rope, you can't get up at all!" How can you ······ Can you be underwater for that long? ”

Zhao Yuru slowly walked ashore, only to find that the rope around his waist was missing!

She immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter!

They're trying to kill themselves!

"Someone's coming!" She didn't talk nonsense, and immediately shouted at the people she brought: "Arrest Tu Lijun, the guard of Gwangju City, for me!" ”

"Yes!"

There are people from the palace and people from Zhao Yuru, how can Tu Lijun have a chance of winning?

And Lin Yufu walked out of the Tianhou Temple, and just happened to see this scene!

"Zhao Yuru!" She ran forward excitedly, grabbed her hand and said, "Are you okay?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm fine, and I'm not walking sideways! I've got my hands on that broken pearl too! Zhao Yuru looked at Tu Lijun and said, "The person who wanted to hinder us has also been found!" ”

Lin Yufu looked at Tu Lijun, and then at Xiao Liu, knowing in her heart.

"But where have you been?" Zhao Yuru looked at Lin Yufu and said suspiciously: "Didn't you let you watch here?" ”

"You haven't been up for so long, I thought something was wrong. Wonder if it's the one that the priest also gave you the wrong mark! ”

Zhao Yuru stretched out his hand, and the mark in his hand had disappeared. But she distinctly remembered that in the darkness of the water, when she was alone, it was the mark in her hand that glowed dimly, guiding her to the shell with the same mark.

"Did Priest Yuchuan say anything else?"

He said······" Lin Yufu thought of what the Yuchuan priest said to herself, shook her head and said, "He said you would be fine, it seems that he was right!" ”

Zhao Yuru smiled, handed the shell to the soldier next to him and said, "Go to the city to find the best craftsman to take out the pearl!" There must be no mistakes! ”

"Yes!"

After speaking, she looked at Tu Lijun again, bent down to pick up the rope on the ground, gently put it around his neck, and then said coldly: "You actually want to harm me?" Who told you to do it? ”

Tu Lijun stiffened his neck and said disdainfully: "Even if you kill me, I won't say it!" ”

"Why should I kill you?"

Zhao Yuru smiled coldly, and then beckoned Xiao Liu to escort Tu Lijun back.

When he returned to his residence, he found that Yan Linjun had already gotten up, drinking wine and eating crabs and waiting for Zhao Yuru to come back with a smile.

"Oh, it seems that Coach Zhao has successfully completed the task, and there are still unexpected gains?"

Tu Lijun was very surprised to see that Yan Linjun had woken up.

"You······ You! ”

"If I don't pretend to be unconscious, how can you show your feet?" Yan Linjun said disdainfully.

"Lord Wang!" Zhao Yuru was angry when she saw Yan Linjun's hippie smiling face.

"I'm drowning at the bottom of the sea, and you're drinking and eating crabs here?" She stepped forward quickly, snatched the wine glass from his hand and said, "Also, the priest of Yuchuan obviously didn't mark you, why do you have to go into the water?" ”

Yan Linjun raised his eyebrows, looked at her and said, "Because, it's cool!" ”

"Yan Linjun, you ······" Zhao Yuru didn't care about any distinction between dignity and inferiority, so he waved the wine glass in his hand to smash Yan Linjun, but fortunately he was stopped by Lin Yufu!

"Now is not the time to worry about this!" She pulled Zhao Yuru and said, "It's him!" ”

Zhao Yuru turned his head, looked at Tu Lijun, regained some sense, and then slammed it on the table and said, "Since you are awake, the rest will be left to you!" ”

Then he strode out of here.

Looking at the mess on the table, Yan Linjun sighed and said, "It's really a pity for this old wine!" ”

Zhao Yuru returned to the room and closed the door angrily.

Lin Yufu followed behind her and told Taole to boil a bucket of water, she had just come back from the sea, and she wanted to take a hot bath!

The sea water on Zhao Yuru's body has dried up, and now her hair is full of salt!

"Don't get it, when the time comes, you will be counted as hiding private salt!" Lin Yufu quipped: "I'll help you take a bath!" ”

Zhao Yuru didn't speak, the clothes he took off threw on the ground, and accidentally hit Lin Yufu's foot!

"Ahh She exhaled in pain and looked at the clothes on the ground in surprise.

"This ······"

"This garment gets heavier when it gets wet! If it weren't for your strong arms, I wouldn't have been able to float! Zhao Yuru shook his head and said, "No wonder, I kept sinking as soon as I got out of the water!" ”

Lin Yufu looked at the clothes and said with palpitations: "Tu Lijun really wants to kill you!" ”

"So, do you think Yan Linjun is a chicken thief? directed and acted in a play, and Tu Lijun didn't even have a chance to start. They have come to plague me! ”

"You can't think like that······" Lin Yufu said weakly.

"You went to find the priest of Yuchuan, did he tell you that Yan Linjun is not qualified to go to the sea to collect pearls?"

"yes!"

"Then why did he go to sea? Isn't it just to make a play for them? Let them think that their plan has succeeded and stopped the so-called national fortune! It ended up pulling me overboard! I'm! I'm! ”

"Oops, don't be angry!" Lin Yufu comforted: "Aren't you okay too?" ”

"That's my life! Probably because I'm too fat, these tricks don't work for me, and I'll still float! ”

"What about you······ When you are at the bottom of the sea, are you afraid? Lin Yufu squatted down and said, "What were you thinking about at that time?" ”

Zhao Yuru quieted down, pondered for a while and said, "Actually, at that time, I wasn't afraid!" On the contrary, I thought about some things from the past, and I was quite happy. For another moment, I forgot what my mission was. You say, was I a dragon girl in my last life? I live in the Dragon Palace kind, so I love water by nature! ”

Lin Yufu glanced at him, okay, it seems that Zhao Yuru is still the same Zhao Yuru, heartless, happy Zhao Yuru!

"I really envy you, always so happy!"

"To be happy is to live, and to be unhappy is to live, so why not let yourself live happily? When I was in Qinyunju, I was very happy. Now that I'm the head coach of the wind and rain, why am I not happy? ”

Lin Yufu was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

She probably really trapped herself, right? No matter what you think, you are very pessimistic!

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Lin Yufu smiled self-deprecatingly, she actually naively thought that Zhao Yuru would be as pessimistic as her!

"But ······" Zhao Yuru suddenly said: "The bottom of the sea is very quiet and dark. I realized that I am not afraid of poverty, I am not afraid of ugliness, but I am afraid of loneliness and darkness! ”

"Huh?"

"Since I was a child in Qinyunju, I have lived a lively day, even when I sleep, my ears will be filled with different noises. Maybe I was used to such days, and I suddenly felt uncomfortable when I was left alone in the dark, and I wanted to swim ashore at that time, but I couldn't swim up. I thought I was really going to die! ”

"And then?" Lin Yufu asked with concern.

"Later?" Zhao Yuru stretched out his hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Later, the mark given to me by the priest of Yuchuan was glowing, guiding me to find the shell with the pearl hidden!" It's really strange, you say that shells grow in the sea, how can they be marked? Who marked it? ”

"It's not your concern!" Lin Yufu rolled her eyes.

"Yes, it's in danger anyway!" She said happily: "I have made such a great contribution, will I be promoted and make a fortune when I go back!" ”

"Yes!" Lin Yufu ignored her and was going to see how Yan Linjun was doing.

"Miss!" At this time, Doroy excitedly ran in with a huge pink pearl, and said cautiously: "The pearl has been taken out!" It's so beautiful! The man who took out the pearl said he had never seen such a large pink pearl! It's comparable to Emperor Taizu's back then! ”

The moment Taole's hands opened, Zhao Yuru's eyes were straight!

The pearl is about two fingers wide, round and full, and its pink appearance is rare in the world!

"Oh my God······" She stepped forward and held the pearl carefully, but suddenly remembered what the priest of Yuchuan said to herself.

"You are, the one to whom the phoenix is destined to return!"
