Chapter 106: A Thousand Sharks Surround the Island

The mermaid is not visible, but the legend of the mermaid has been rumored to be a beautiful story for thousands of years, and even killed by the whole thing, the reason may be related to the difference between the two.

In the book of strange tales that Qiu Zidao reads, it is recorded that although the mermaid and the mermaid belong to the same category, the mermaid is ugly, resembles a yaksha, has a tyrannical personality, is bloodthirsty and ferocious, and is infinitely powerful, and likes to eat man-flesh the most. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, there were many records of Yaksha raiding passing merchant ships and even kidnapping the people of offshore fishing villages on the coast of the East China Sea.

Because of these characteristics of the merman, even if a fisherman happens to make up for a male merman, he will either be eaten by him, or he will be released as a yaksha ghost next to the dragon king, and few people dare to kill him. Besides, no one dares to sacrifice such an ugly and ferocious thing to those in power as a rarity, so basically no one knows the true origin of the male merman.

On the contrary to the male mermaid, the female mermaid not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has a docile personality, and its oil can burn endlessly for thousands of years, so it is regarded as a peerless treasure by the princes and generals in power, down to the ordinary people of the fishing village, and the fishermen have to make up for the mermaid, and there is no reason to release it, which is also the most fundamental reason why there is only a mermaid legend and no mermaid trace in later generations.

In addition, both mermaids and mermaids have a very special place, and that is their sounds.

The male merman's voice is extremely aggressive, and it is only aimed at the human consciousness. Female mermaids make similar sounds, but unlike mermaids, mermaids have a very beautiful voice, and this sound has a magical power that can make people unconsciously fall into hallucinations created by the subconscious.

Different from the illusion caused by the interference of external objects, this kind of illusion created by the subconscious mind is very real, it will not suddenly change some nothing, but by changing some cognitive details in the subconscious, so that you can believe what you see, hear, and feel.

For example, when a cup of boiling water is steaming, the subconscious knows that drinking the cup of water will definitely be scalded, and when the person actually drinks the cup of water, it is indeed scalded.

But now, a cup of cold water that is just a white smoke on the surface and seems to be very hot, under normal circumstances, it will not be burned if you drink it, but under the interference of the mermaid's voice, when people drink this cup of water, they regard this cup of water as very hot boiling water, and the subconscious is affected by the mermaid's voice, and the corresponding perception of being burned is conjured, and people in reality are really burned to their mouths.

This kind of subtlety,Let people unconsciously fall into the terrible sound of the almost real illusion,There is almost no countermeasure,If it's a merman,You can also seal the acupuncture points of the ear,Reduce the interference of the sound,But the mermaid's voice is very special,In addition to the sound waves that can be heard by the ear,She can also make an inaudible sound,So it's impossible to prevent at all.。

We sighed for a while, and our faces became a little unsightly. There's no way Loy could lie to us. Previously, Yang Laodao and Wang Xiao also heard a faint woman's voice before they fell into a coma, and just last night, I also saw a woman as beautiful as a fairy.

Although I thought it was my hallucination later, but now that I think about it carefully, that experience is too real, and the fire talisman offered by the Taoist priest at that time also ignited the woman's skin, combined with the merman's ability to burn when it meets fire, the woman I met last night is very likely to be a mermaid.

Luo Yi sighed and continued to talk to us: "The mermaid's voice is very scary, but it also has loopholes, as long as it does not fall into a deep illusion, it can be awakened by external stimuli, and once you wake up, the illusion will dissipate. However, the longer the sound is heard, the more disturbing it is to the subconscious, and the deeper the hallucination becomes, and after reaching a certain level, the hallucination will enter a terrible nightmare, at which point, unless you can overcome the nightmare of your own will, you will never be able to wake up. ”

After listening to Luo Yi's addition, the Taoist priest who had just been cleaned up by the two girls muttered in a low voice: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, isn't that the same as the second dream?" ”

The so-called second dream, which I mentioned earlier, is equivalent to the first nightmare, in short, it is a dream within a dream, full of unknown dangers, once entered, it is very difficult to wake up, and it is even possible to die in the dream.

"Almost, in short, the mermaid's voice is full of magic, and if it weren't for the masters of this among us, I'm afraid we would all be wiped out at that time."

When he said this, Luo Yi's face was still full of fear.

I had experienced the second dream, and I knew that it was terrible, and at this time I did not suspect that Luo Yi was exaggerating, and then asked her: "Mermaid, this is the second strange thing you have experienced, what about the rest of it?" ”

Luo Yi didn't elaborate on the specific experience on the Lock Demon Lake, but just picked out a few treacherous things she experienced to explain to us the horror of the Lock Demon Lake and the horror of what they experienced.

The first one happened when they had just entered the Lock Demon Lake and were still a little confused.

It was the first time for all the people of the Heavenly Witch Sect to come to the Lock Demon Lake, although they had already obtained some records about the Lock Demon Lake through various channels, but this strange fog in the sky almost blocked all vision, and those records that were not much lost their reference value.

But even so, their goal is still very clear, because in the description of those materials, the eye of the lock demon lake is in the middle of the lake.

With the set goal, there is also a direction for the action, although it is very difficult to find the center of the lake on this huge lake, but the people of the Heavenly Witch Sect do not give up.

They first controlled the boat to advance to the inside of the lake, and then the people on the boat who were good at feng shui continued to deduce and correct the direction, but the compass was completely out of order in such a place, and the direction of the mountain and water veins was also obscured by the fog, and all the means of positioning and breaking the direction were useless.

Back and forth, they walked around in the fog for a whole day without any progress, and when it was getting late, someone suggested that they exit the Lock Demon Lake first.

That's when the first weird thing happened. Although the fog obscured the vision, the outline of the black giant mountain at the edge could still be seen clearly, and if you wanted to exit the Lock Demon Lake, you only needed to use the giant mountain as a reference, in fact, Luo Yi and the others did this at that time, but it was incomprehensible that no matter how hard they rocked the oars, the wooden boat always maintained a constant distance from the giant mountain at the edge of the lake, neither close nor far away.

At this time, some people suspected that something under the water might have hooked the boat, so that the wooden boat could not move, but after carefully observing the current, Luo Yi found that this was not the case, the boat kept moving, but the lake under their feet seemed to be moving with the boat.

This strange phenomenon trapped the people of the Heavenly Witch Sect on the outskirts of the Lock Demon Lake, seeing that there was no hope of leaving, some people proposed to continue to move forward, but something even stranger happened, and the Heavenly Witch Cultists on the ship were sad to find that their ship could neither retreat nor move forward.

A boatload of people seemed to be sandwiched between two fluid spaces, moving back and forth, but the space they were in couldn't move.

This was the first bizarre encounter that Luo Yi recounted, and then she told a second strange thing.

This second trick is the main reason why Luo Yi's lake has changed color, and this matter is also related to our current situation.

For the sake of description, let's call the lake where Shidao is located as Shark Lake. Luo Yi also said before that in the process of escaping from the Shark Lake and going to the target place, the Lock Demon Lake, they encountered countless dangers and obstacles, among which in addition to the Shark, there is also a more strange species of Shark.

During those two days of travel, Luo Yi had never seen the true face of this kind of merman, because every time this kind of merman appeared, he only heard its sound, not its shadow, and the sound it made was very strange. The sound made by those mermaids in the merman lake is a direct attack on people's consciousness, although it is terrifying, but it can be actively defended, such as the previous method of blocking the ears and three points adopted by the third uncle's team.

But that special kind of mermaid is different, their sound is very beautiful, like fairy music, it sounds very comfortable and enjoyable, and this beautiful sound will not directly harm people, but unconsciously affect the listener's subconscious, thereby affecting or changing the listener's senses and thinking consciousness, making people fall into danger.

It is precisely this imperceptible danger that is the most deadly, like a boiled frog in warm water, if it feels a strong threat from the beginning, it will inevitably provoke all resistance.

Luo Yi experienced such a situation in the Lock Demon Lake.

At first, the boat could not leave the lake, but because there was no danger at the time, the people on board did not panic until the evening, when something strange happened.

Without warning, someone on the boat suddenly jumped into the water, threw himself into the vast fog as if enchanted, and disappeared.

At first, the Heavenly Witch Cultists on the boat thought that someone had accidentally stepped on the air and fallen into the water, and was swept into the depths of the mist by the undercurrent under the lake.

However, immediately after the man, another person jumped into the lake, and the people in the boat finally realized that something was wrong, because the person who jumped into the lake later was completely swimming into the depths of the fog by himself, not by the undercurrent.

The panic soon spread on the ship, don't look at these days the witch cult guys are usually ruthless and kill people without blinking, but before the unknown horror, they are all human beings, and they will feel the same fear.

The strange jumping incident did not stop because of the fear of these people, and after the second jumper, several more people jumped ship unsuccessfully, and were stopped by those who had been prepared for a long time on the side.

However, the strange thing is that these people who failed to jump ship all had dull eyes and confused consciousness, as if they had fallen into an evil spirit.

Speaking of evil spirits, the Heavenly Witch Sect is an expert in tinkering with evil arts, and there are many masters in this boat, and they soon woke up several evil guys from their sluggish state, and when asked about the reason for jumping ship, they all said that they saw a woman, a peerless beauty half naked on the water.

The beauty smiled back at them, and then they felt as if they had been electrocuted, and their minds and bodies were uncontrollably trying to fly to the beauty and kiss Fangze.

The leader of this act of the Heavenly Witch Sect is an elder of the Right Sect, whose real name is unknown, and the sect calls him Qiu Zidao. This person has been famous in Shenzhou Xuanmen more than 20 years ago, originally from the famous sect, and then for some reason betrayed the sect, joined the Heavenly Witch Sect, in the past 20 years have done a lot of notorious evil things, sitting in the position of elder, although the reputation is notorious, but its insight and ability are really extraordinary.

After listening to the descriptions of those subordinates, Qiu Zidao's face immediately changed.

Before he left the sect, Qiu Zidao liked to study ancient books and loved anecdotes, and he had seen an alternative record related to the merman in a book of strange tales from the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Since ancient times, the legends of the sharks that have been circulated in the world are almost all a faction, saying that the mermaids are all beautiful and captivating, living in the East China Sea, and all of them are women, with a fishtail and a fishtail, and they are unique. But in the strange tales that Qiu Zidao has seen, the merman does not refer to a single life.

The so-called mermaid is actually a collective term for mermaid and mermaid, although they are a class of species, but there are differences. The male is a mermaid, and the female is a mermaid, and the legend of the mermaid that is widely spread today refers to only the female mermaid.

Suppressing the doubts in my heart, I continued to ask Luo Yi a second question: "What about my father, how is he now?" ”

"Hee-hee, that's the second question!" Luo Yi said with a smile with a smile in his big watery eyes.

I rolled my eyes and said helplessly, "Okay, I know, you answer my question first, and then I'll answer your question, that's all right?" ”

The corners of Luo Yi's mouth raised a smug smile: "Well, that's fair, hehe, in fact, you don't have to worry too much, before I separated from them, your father was fine, if nothing else, they should be in the Lock Demon Lake at this moment." ”

"Lock Demon Lake?" I was taken aback, and said to myself, isn't that the final destination that Zhang Lingjin wants us to go to?

At the mention of Lock Demon Lake, Luo Yi's expression was slightly more solemn, and it could be seen that he was very jealous of this name.

"Alright, it's my turn!" Luo Yi looked at the dimly lit stone cave, tilted his head and thought for a while, and asked, "What is this place?" ”

I couldn't believe my ears and blurted out, "It's so easy?" ”

Luo Yi looked at me innocently: "It's that simple, what, do you want me to change to a more difficult one?" ”

I hurriedly waved my hand, "Don't, that's it, it's good!" As I spoke, I briefly told her about our situation at the moment, and after hearing this, Luo Yi's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was incredible.

"How is this possible? How did I come back again? Luo Yi exclaimed thoughtlessly, and we were confused. I just wanted to ask, but suddenly remembered that I was making an equivalent exchange with her, if I did, would it be a question?
