Chapter 160: Finding Directions
If it weren't for Bai Yiyan, she wouldn't have married to the northern country, she should have stayed and flew with Brother Wen Yan, instead of sharing the same bed with this ghost-like person.
Lying on the bed and looking at Jiang Li's back, the northern man has tattoos on his body, and Jiang Li also has tattoos on his body, from his left shoulder to his back, stepping on the wind unicorn. Jiang Ya actually looks good, but he can't match Mei Changqing, Brother Wen Yan is even gentle when he speaks, how can he be compared to such a gloomy person.
Mu Chuanlan closed her eyes, if Brother Wen Yan was fine, she would be a coquette, and Brother Wen Yan would take her away, it had always been like this.
In recent days, Wuwu always likes to fly out, hovering in the air for a few laps and then coming down, cooing and cooing at Bai Yiyan, Bai Yiyan is afraid that one day it will be beaten down by others and taken to bake. It's really rare to see a pigeon as fat as Wuwu, and it's hard for it to fly.
The northern country takes crows as the sacred birds, but now it is summer, and the other birds are there, and it seems that there are not many crows, and Bai Yiyan is not worried that Wuwu will be bullied by crows, but Wuwu has been hovering in the sky, as if looking for direction.
This is also helpless, Bai Yiyan thought, maybe he will never see Wuwu again, but Wuwu should live well.
"Your fat pigeon has run away," the child came over, he had been looking at Bai Yiyan before, but Bai Yiyan had been injured and did not see him.
"It turned out to be the prince, why did the prince come here?" Bai Yiyan turned his head, although Jiang Ya had a smile on his face, but Bai Yiyan always looked a little strange, maybe it was a serious injury in the northern country, and the aura of Shangjia was heavier, and he always felt that there was a kind of cunning in it. As if everything is about business? The same.
"Miss, don't you forget, this is the palace, no matter where I go, it's normal. Today is just a walk, stop by to see if Miss Wei is having a good time in the north? ”
"The prince's hospitality is very thoughtful, April is grateful, and the dishes are delicious." Thank you nodded, I don't know what this is for? , it's just that this gesture of a businessman makes Bai Yiyan feel a lot weird in his heart. "If the prince has something, you might as well say it directly, and you should do your best."
"That's good." Jiang Li said, "Miss has heard of the Beihai mermaids. ”
"I've heard that it should be the same kind as the mermaids of the South China Sea. It is said that the merman wept tears into beads, weaving the xia for the silk, and was fortunate to have a horse from the prince. "Wearing that dress, it should be worth a lot of money, Jiang Li gave her that pair, it can be regarded as sincere.
"In the northern country, shark silk is not a rare thing. Even in Daliang, there are merchants from the northern country who bring them over and can buy them. But shark beads are different. It's rare in the world, and even the northern country has never seen such one. ”
Bai Yiyan couldn't help but think of the bead before he crossed over. Looking crystal clear, this is not like a gemstone pearl, it is likely to be the legendary shark pearl.
The necklace that Pei Qingyun gave her, she took off the moonstone on it, and a silk rope was tied around her wrist, and Jiang Li also saw it.
"This Feng Lin Zhu has a miraculous effect on avoiding drugs, Miss should have seen it."
Shark people. Does this legendary creature really exist? Bai Yiyan couldn't help but have doubts in her heart, but since Jiang Li told her to go, she just went.
"Since the prince has an order, it is better to obey his orders than to be respectful."
"Okay, very good, I'll send someone to prepare, and I'll leave in a few days and come back in autumn." Bucked. "Bai Yiyan, I believe you will not let me down."
It's one thing to believe or not to believe, it's another thing to find or not to find it, and although there have been reports of mermaid sightings all over the world, no one has ever seen a real mermaid. The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang also said that it was made of mermaid paste as a candle, but it will not be extinguished for thousands of years, but who knows whether it is true or false.
But since Jiang Li is looking for something to do for her, she naturally has to do it, anyway, Jiang Li didn't say how to find it, if she can find it, she will find it, even if she can't find it, Jiang Li should not be in a hurry at this time.
"I don't know what the prince is looking for a merman?" Bai Yiyan asked.
"Naturally, it's for the shark beads." Jiang Ya said.
Shark beads can live and die, flesh and bones, but if there are only ashes, I don't know if I can come back to life. Bai Yiyan shook his head, that would be too outrageous. At the very least, a complete body is required. There should be no hope for resurrecting Mei Changqing, but Jiang Ya wants someone to live.
He is different from Mu Jiangyuan, since he supported the young master, he has always been in power, Bai Yiyan doesn't know what else can make the people he cares about lose their lives.
"Are there really sharks in the North Sea?" Bai Yiyan couldn't help but ask more. "If there is, how can there not be a little bit of news."
But the silk doesn't look like it can be woven by human hands.
"Naturally, there is, I will send the most experienced old fisherman to accompany you, and I will also send someone to ensure your safety."
After he finished speaking, a person came in from outside, burly, carrying a knife on his back, Bai Yiyan recognized him, he was Bai Yiyan and Mei Changqing met that personal guard in the north five years ago, but back then, I thought that this person was strong in martial arts, but now it seems that he can only be regarded as a first-class master, not a top. The current Bai Yiyan can already match him.
He said very little, and when he saw Bai Yiyan, he only nodded, which was regarded as a compliment.
"Who's looking for?"
"Bai Yiren."
Dugu Bai hesitated. "There is no such person in the Ten Mile Gallery, please go back."
The man's eyes darkened visibly, "Really?" , so where did she go? ”
"My aunt used to stay in the Ten Mile Gallery for a while, but someone brought a broken sword, and my aunt ran away after seeing it, and we couldn't stop it, and now there is no news from my aunt. Dad went out to look for it, but he didn't get any news. I can't even find my father, and I guess you can't find news of your aunt. ”
"It's been five years." The man sighed, "If you find Bai Yiyan, please inform Jinse Villa." ”
"Jinse Villa?" Dugu Bai was puzzled and repeated. "What does my aunt have to do with Jinse Villa? Go away, and if you don't, don't blame me for being unkind. ”
After he finished speaking, a few bamboo leaves were planted at his feet, and the man took a step back. The smile on his face was slightly embarrassed.
"Since the little boy is so unwelcome, then he will retire below, but if you get the news of Miss Wei, please be sure to tell Jinse Shenzhong."
The reputation of Jinse Villa in the rivers and lakes is not small, known as the first village in the world, built in Hangzhou, the owner of the village Rong Jinping two years ago was named the master of the martial arts league, even if the Dugu family has never lived in seclusion, for the wind and rain on the rivers and lakes, I have also heard of it. It's just Dugu Bai, I don't know if they have good intentions or malicious intentions towards Bai Yiyan. The people of the Dugu family have always been unsociable, if they can find Bai Yiyan, then it would be better, let my aunt stay with them in the Ten Mile Gallery and live in seclusion together.
I just don't know my aunt's safety now, I just hope my aunt is safe. Dugu Bai thought, watching the man go out and disappear into the bamboo forest.
The man watched the white figure disappear, and the expression on his face gradually became solemn, even if it was the Dugu family, didn't he know the news of Bai Yiyan? He sighed and ripped the mask off his face.
His face has taken off his childishness, and the face under the mask is younger than before, it is Rong Shen'an. He was very concerned about Bai Yiyan's news, and he also asked around, but he always heard half of it, and only said a few words.
Five years ago, Bai Yiyan came to the Ten Mile Gallery, but he was no longer in the Ten Mile Gallery Rong Shenan scratched his head, although it was said that the imperial court never interfered in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. But Mu Jiangyuan ordered the major villas to look for Bai Yiyan, but Bai Yiyan seemed to have evaporated from the world, five years have passed in a blink of an eye, and all the major families have searched for it, and the only clue points to the Ten Mile Gallery, but the Dugu family confirmed that Bai Yiqian has not come back since she left, Bai Yiqian seems to have evaporated from the world, and there are no clues about her in the underworld and the white way. Rong Shen'an scratched his head, he wanted to find Bai Yiyan, naturally he didn't want to hand Bai Yiyan to Mu Jiangyuan, it was good for Bai Yiyan to hide like this, but it made people faintly worried, for fear that Bai Yiyan would be found by other people first.
He couldn't recognize it, Rong Shen'an remembered clearly, it was Lu Cassia Ming, who caused him to stand on the edge of the West Lake for half an hour, and took all the money on him, this person actually came to Jinse Villa, is it a long life?
"Hello, little Taoist." Rong Shen'an had a smile on his face, but the green tendons on his forehead burst out, loosening his hand bones.
Lu Cassia raised his head, the Zhuang pattern of Jinse Villa is an immortal leaf with strings, and the clothes are the same, but he can't recognize his face. "Hello, I don't know...... How do you hit someone, you! ”
Rong Shen Anpi withdrew his fist without smiling, "The trail chief has a very poor memory. Yesterday I stood on the edge of the West Lake for a long time, have you forgotten now? ”
"Didn't you destroy my medicine first, who told you to walk without long eyes, a pair of tricks are so bright, is it used to breathe?" Cassia the Deer looked at him viciously.
"That's embarrassing, I can't see a dog when I walk." Rong Shen'an said, and another punch came over, and Lu Cassia dodged to avoid it, and powder flew out of his sleeve.
Rong Shen'an couldn't dodge, but he was still stained a little. I felt as if there were dozens of fleas biting together, and the itching was unbearable. Rong Shen'an hurriedly jumped away, scratching the itch on his body. "You actually drugged again, despicable and shameless."
"Haha, who told you to hit me." "I'm not that easy to bully. ”
"You wait for me." Rong Shen'an really couldn't stand it anymore, so he scratched the itch on his body angrily and ran away.
Seeing him like this, Lu Cassia laughed even more, he just came to Jinse Villa to find a document, this disciple of Jinse Villa is interesting.
Rong Jinping was meeting guests, and after becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance, he had a lot more things to deal with, Lu Cassia asked someone to report, and after entering the lobby, he found that Rong Shen'an had changed his clothes and was complaining, and the two looked at each other, and it was really a narrow road.
"You still have a face?" Rong Shen'an rolled up his sleeves.
"Shen An, don't be rude, this is the medicine valley doctor." Rong Jinping glared at him, "I've already heard about it, obviously you were rude first, and you didn't apologize to the divine doctor." ”
"Just him? It's still the medicine valley doctor, brother, don't be kidding, okay? Rong Shen'an looked incredulous, he didn't believe that this person would be the medicine valley divine doctor when he killed him.
"Don't be rude." Rong Jinping said, with a gloomy look on his face. "The divine doctor has already shown me the sign of Xinglin Yinlu, why don't you apologize to the divine doctor quickly."
Rong Shen'an has always been the most afraid of his brother, and since his brother said so, he reluctantly lowered his head to Lu Cassia.
"Divine doctor, I was wrong."
This mistake was very useful for the deer cassia and nodded. "Since you know that you are wrong, there are a lot of Divine Doctors, so I will forgive you."
Rong Shen'an clenched his fists, you wait for me.
Although he was smiling on the surface, he was already scolding the street in his heart, how could Rong Jinping not know his thoughts, skipped Rong Shen'an, and walked in front of Lu Cassia.
He was a head taller than Cassia Deer, and Cassia Deer had to raise his head to meet his gaze. Rong Jinping made a Jianghu salute to Lu Cassia. "The divine doctor has been living in seclusion in the medicine valley, and it just so happened that the divine doctor came to Hangzhou out of the valley, and he asked for something next."
"The owner of the village is polite, I am also a person in the rivers and lakes, if the owner has anything to say, just open his mouth, my martial arts are not high, and I have to count on the owner to bless me." The deer cassia returned the salute.
Rong Shen'an, who was on the side, rolled his eyes. "Feelings, you are not high in martial arts, but you are full of strange medicines, and you still use people to protect you?"
He muttered something Rong Jinping could naturally hear it, glared at him, Rong Shen'an didn't dare to say anything, Lu Cassia looked at it and only snickered, it was really enjoyable.
"The divine doctor is very skilled, I have a guest who has a disease in both eyes, and I ask the divine doctor to take a look." Rong Jinping said.
"Of course, I'm a miracle doctor." Lu Cassia patted his chest, "It's just a backlog of toxins, which blinded a pair of eyes, as long as the poison is detoxified, it is not difficult to cure the eyes." ”
"You can say it simply, we all know that it is poison, but the poison has been suppressed, how to force it out." Rong Shen'an had never dared to speak before, but finally interjected at this time.
The deer definitely understood him. "Naturally, the poison is dispersed back into the meridians and forced out the poison."
"You're not, do you know what kind of poison he has in him, this poison can't be forced out at all. If it is scattered into the meridians again, do you want his life? ”
The man in white hadn't said anything yet, but Rong Shen'an was excited first, and Rong Jinping couldn't pull him. "I think you're a quack."
"That's good, I'm a quack, otherwise you can do it." Cassia the deer is not angry. "Anyway, this poison can't be suppressed for three or five years, and it will recur, infiltrating into the meridians little by little, and the liver and intestines will be broken. Even if you don't beat the poison out now, the poison will come out by itself sooner or later, and the gods won't be able to save it at that time. You are not a miracle doctor, I am, there is no poison in this world that I can't solve, you get out of the way. ”
"You ......" Rong Shen'an choked his breath, his face was red with anger, but he couldn't find a rebuttal, so he had to sulk on the side.
The man in white couldn't see it, but he could guess it, with a light smile on his face.
Lu Cassia didn't want to talk to Rong Shen'an anymore, and looked back at the man. "Do you know what kind of poison you have?"
"Yes, Acacia Ash."
inch by inch lovesickness, liver and intestines are broken. Acacia turns to ashes, so how can people be willing to forget.
"Now that you know what kind of poison this is, you also know the risk of letting this poison re-enter the meridians." Lu Cassia had a serious look on his face, although the man in front of him couldn't see it. "You have suppressed this poison for several years, if you release it, it must be very dangerous, you have two choices, one is to release the poison, fight the poison with poison, and force this unlucky thing out of your body, although it can be cured, but you are likely to die now. The second is to wait for a few years, this unlucky thing will come out on its own, and then you can take care of it well, and you can live for a few more years, although it is unlikely that your eyes will regain your sight, but I think you can listen to the argument, and it doesn't matter if you use your eyes or not. Do you need to think about it? ”
"No, I'll pick one. I still have things I want to see. As he spoke, he closed his eyes and touched his hand to the place of his eyes, "Even if there is a glimmer of life, I will try." ”
"Do you really want to listen to this quack?" Rong Shen'an couldn't hold his breath. "You've got to think about it."
"Anyway, if you don't force the poison, you will die sooner or later. Die fast or die slowly. And if I help you avoid drugs, there's a good chance you'll survive. Lu Cassia hugged his arms and didn't look at Rong Shen'an.
Rong Shen'an was also angry, don't look over.
"I've thought it through, let's force poison for me." The man said.
"Okay, I need to prepare some herbs and other things." Lu Cassia said, "But I still want to know your name, although I can promise not to kill you, but in case, your family will settle accounts in the future, so I can know which one you are." ”
Perhaps he was speaking too explicitly, and the man hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Su Yi."
"Su Yi, is it? I know. Lu Cassia said, "You also have to prepare, tomorrow I will come to help you force the poison, you need to breathe more of your meridians, so that I can perform the needle." ”
Su Yi nodded, everything had been negotiated, and Rong Jinping took them out and closed the secret passage again. This Su Yi still has a bit of a background, as if Jinse Villa is hidden.
"Girl, how is this wine?" The city on the side had a flattering smile on their faces, knowing that this girl was Jiang Li's person, they were very respectful to the King of Beimo, if they could climb up to the people around the King of Beimo, they would be able to follow the Feihuang Tengda. _
But Bai Yiyan obviously didn't eat them, but his face was pale. If it's a man, they'll be fine, but Bai Yiyan is a woman, and I don't know where to start to please her.
However, if you want to please a woman, you still need a woman to come, and the woman will understand the woman better, and someone decided to consult the lady at that moment. However, they only heard that Jiang Ya had an order, and they didn't know where Bai Yiyan came from, and thought that Jiang Ya sent him to check the post and manage the training. If you tell them that he is here to find a mermaid this time, if you don't say it on your face, you must be laughing at your delusions behind your back.
Although Bai Yiyan thinks so, he always has to ask. Look at the meaty city, and try not to imagine him as a fly with a shiny face.
"Have you ever heard of a merman?"
"Sharks? Naturally, there is, and this is a specialty of our North Sea. Said the oily-faced city. We are so rich here because of the abundance of shark slaves. ”
The merman actually existed, Bai Yiyan was a little surprised, she originally thought that she had traveled to ancient times, but she didn't expect that there would be such a magical creature, it was too distorted.
But thinking that the half-demon bloodline of the Dugu family is still in her, it is not uncommon to have such a rare beast.
It's just that the merman is inferior and can only be a slave. The mermaid has a fishtail and a good appearance. After catching the merman, he broke the tail for it, and after breaking the tail, he lost his divine power, and the fishtail changed into a human leg, and he could not return to Beihai, so he could only stay in the world as a slave. The shark silk sold in the north came from the hands of these shark slaves.
The city display in the town usually takes Bai Yiyan back to his house, and there are dozens of sharks in his house. When I walked to the courtyard, I saw a person, no different from ordinary people, except with his mouth closed, and there were small scales behind his ears, which were transparent, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see them.
The merman's eyes were dim, as if he hadn't seen Bai Yiyan at all. The city on the side explained.
"This is just a shark slave, she can't even cry, she will gouge out her eyes another day and make it into a night pearl, and she doesn't have a few taels of oil on her body, so she can't make a candle."
Chengyi said such cruel words, but the flesh on his face squeezed out a flattering smile, and Bai Yiyan was very disgusted.
The shark slave was pushed by him, as if he could not understand the cruelty in his words, but he was silent, turned away, and continued to spin the thread that did not exist in his hand.
No matter how Bai Yiyan looked, she felt that she was no different from a human girl, but she was treated like this. Jiao people are not rare in the northern country. Bai Yiyan didn't believe that there were sharks in the world, but now he really believes it. It seems that Jiang Li's asking her to find the shark to seize the shark pearl does not seem like nonsense.
"What's your name?" Those swooped over and looked at the mermaid girl.
"What's the name of this capsule?" Chengyi looked at the shark slave with a little contempt, as if looking at a dog, "Miss talks to such an animal, and loses the identity of Miss." ”
In this way, the mermaids who can cry and sing are naturally treated much better than those who can only weave silk. At least there are no visible injuries on the body. Although they were all imprisoned, the treatment of caged birds and animals was different. Although he has lost his wildness, he can be fed and clothed without suffering.
Bai Yiyan didn't know how to define their identities, their appearance, but they were all like ordinary human girls, but their treatment was very different. Although they are more presumptuous than human maidens, they are inferior to female slaves, because they are not human beings in the eyes of others.
In this way, the merman who has broken his tail has no shark beads. Countless people have experimented with it. Or disemboweled, or directly strangled to death, in these people who have been captured, the sect leader has not been found.
Later, I learned from the mouth of the shark who wanted to survive that the shark bead was the inner pill cultivated by the shark people, and it was impossible for ordinary people to have it in their bodies, so they saved the lives of these sharks. After breaking the tail, they will be singers and dancers, and if they are a little worse, they will torture them, so that they will cry all day long, and if they are not willing to speak, and if they are not good, they will go to weave silk. There are also those who don't even want to weave shark silk, so they gouge out their eyes and make the fat on their bodies into long candles.
The eyes of the merman can be made into a night pearl with excellent appearance, and the city also specially took out a box to show Bai Yiyan. A box full of night pearls. It was dazzling, but Bai Yiyan looked at it and only felt disgusted.
Bai Yiyan didn't know that this world could be so vicious. How can you see that the mermaids are like them, living people, can do it so much.
"If Miss needs a shark slave to serve, there are also shark slaves in the house, and Miss just needs to say it."
Seong-e-eup smiled narrowly. "Miss, this is just a livelihood, on the shore of the North Sea, there has never been a single grass, so you can only rely on these things in exchange for some money, and over the years there have been casualties among the shark fishers, these sharks have also attacked fishing boats for a long time, he has no singing to confuse the fishing boats into the whirlpool, and then eat. It's just a man-eating beast, and the young lady doesn't need sympathy. ”
In their eyes, the merman is nothing more than a man-eating monster and a treasure to collect money. The broken tail of the merman no longer has the divine power of the merman, but there are treasures that make the merman persecuted. After the fisherman catches the merman, he will first break the tail so that the merman is powerless to resist, and then transport it to the shore and sell it for a good price.
Those who have a good price, most of them will cry, the scales fade so that they are almost invisible, and if the eyes are a little brighter, the value is the highest. There are also a knife that splits the tail, the leg is not broken, and the dead and alive are unwilling to open their mouths to shed tears, they will be killed on the spot, take a pair of eyes to make the night pearl, and the corpse can be made into lamp oil candles, which can also be bought at a good price. That's why this town is so rich. Every summer, there will be people who go out to sea to catch sharks, although there are casualties, but there are still many times when they return with a full load.
But many people are looking for shark beads. The shark who leaked the secret couldn't bear the punishment, and told all the secrets of the shark, the shark with the shark beads in his body had a golden tail and silver hair, and he had a thousand years of Taoism, which was very difficult to see, but he was afraid of filth.
It's just that for decades, countless people have been looking for the golden-tailed and silver-haired merman, but they have never found anything.
