The three of them were silent at the same time.

The underground is empty and quiet.

After a while, Xiao Tingchen and Su Runmo finally heard the singing voice described by Mo Shisan.

It does have a beautiful melody, but it is not clear what is sung in the lyrics, which is more incomprehensible than a foreign dialect, like the whispering of a dreamer.

Gradually, the melody changed.

The song went from ethereal to hoarse, as if it was close to the ear, and it was charming enough to deceive people's hearts......

"Whoa!"

A loud sound of water suddenly broke the melody!

Xiao Tingchen suddenly sobered up.

But he found that he had walked from the wall to the lake at some point, and his face was less than half an inch from the dark water!

Underwater, a white face stared at him quietly.

Xiao Tingchen's scalp was numb.

With a flicker, he saw two terrifying white hands poking out of the water not far away, hugging the head of a secret guard!

The woman who sprang out of the water had sharp teeth and dragged the secret guard into the deep water with a hideous look!

But in an instant, Xiao Tingchen quickly retreated and kicked the strange woman who tried to drag him down into the water!

The experience of Su Runmo and others was similar to him.

Their state of mind is far stronger than that of ordinary people, so nothing happened.

It's just that the dozen or so secret guards were immersed in the song and couldn't come back to their senses, and they were dragged into the deep water without a trace, and they don't know what the fate was.

Mo 13 was almost dragged into the water, but fortunately Xiao Tingchen dragged him.

His face turned white with fright, and his teeth fought, "What was that just now...... Is it a water ghost? Let's still, let's get out of here quickly, right? ”

"It's a merfolk."

Su Runmo had already recovered from the shock.

He dusted off his robe, his eyes deep, "The mythical creature has appeared, and it seems that it is still deliberately kept in captivity...... Can the emperor believe what Wei Chen just said? ”

Xiao Tingchen's face was expressionless.

He stared at the pitch-black water, unable to connect these sinister things with Sikong Chen.

What the hell does that old man want to do?!

Wu Song Zhengse said: "The mermaids lure humans with their songs, drive them to the water's edge, and then drag them to the bottom of the water to enjoy as food...... Your Majesty, the minions thought it would be better to leave the underground for a while before there was a perfect solution. ”

Xiao Tingchen was still staring at the water.

The water surface was calm and waveless, if it weren't for the disappearance of the dozen or so elites under his hands, he would almost think that the bloody scene just now was just an illusion!

He closed his eyes and gave the order to retreat.

Back in Wuyi Lane, Xiao Tingchen was lying in the small study building of Mingde Courtyard.

There were no lights in the building, and the moonlight before dawn fell lonely into the flower window, lonely and cold.

The man put one arm on his face, covering his peach blossom eyes.

Tonight, he already vaguely understood what the teacher's purpose was.

He wanted to find the art of immortality......

But Sikong Chen has worked hard for so many years, and the target seems to be on him Xiao Tingchen.

Could it be that the immortality technique has any intrinsic relationship with him?

Thinking about it this way, Sikong Chen's purpose of going to Jiangnan this time is intriguing.

In the next few days, Xiao Tingchen sent people to the underground again.

The guards plugged their ears to prevent themselves from being bewitched by the mermaid's song, but in vain, people were still dragged into the deep water one after another.

At last they brought a set of piano and drum chimes and struck them loudly on the shore of the lake, and finally they were no longer bewitched by the mermaid's song.

However, the problem arises again, the lake water is so strange that nothing can float on the surface, even a feather will inexplicably sink from the surface of the water into deep water.

The trip to explore forward was interrupted, and Xiao Tingchen was forced to give up the plan to end Sikong Chen's lair, and he was still conscientiously fighting the Qi army on the surface, not daring to arouse Si Kongchen's suspicion.

On an early summer night, thunder rolls in the air.

Xiao Tingchen was lying on the bamboo couch in the small study building, shaking the pu fan, and casually tilted his head to look out of the flower window.

A few dark clouds obscured the bright moon, the night wind blew, and the candles in the study building jumped, and the first rain of this summer was about to fall.

It was not an easy time, he threw away the fan and closed his eyes in a sleepy way.

There was a soft "squeak", and the night wind blew open the flower window.

The candle is extinguished.

In the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, Xiao Tingchen suddenly opened his eyes.

What's wrong......

The merfolk were deliberately kept underground, and the water in the lake was apparently of a special quality brought in from elsewhere, and there seemed to be no species in the water other than merfolk.

So what food did mermaids live on for so long?

Xiao Tingchen sat up suddenly.

The beautiful peach blossom eyes shimmer in the darkness.

Someone......

In Jinling City, someone is helping Sikong Chen feed the mermaids!

Who is that person?!

Thunder and explosion!

The white lightning illuminated everything in the study building in an instant, and Xiao Tingchen saw a person standing in the corner of the wall!

It's not a secret guard or anything like that!

He stared at the darkness in a daze, he was not asleep just now, this person was able to quietly appear in the building without him noticing, which shows that the kung fu is outstanding!

The big palm silently grasped the hilt.

A long bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, thunder roared, and the white light in an instant made Xiao Tingchen clearly see that that person had actually moved in front of him, only half a foot away from him!

The flame of the candle, which was about to be extinguished, jumped and suddenly rekindled.

The light and shadow in the room are dim.

The eyes are facing each other.

Xiao Tingchen saw that the enlarged face in front of him was a fox demon mask, with slender and charming painted eyebrows, and always maintained a weird and seductive smile.

In the next moment, the narrow knife "betrayed" Huo Ran and shot!

In the dim light and shadow, a sharp knife light slashed, and the man wearing the fox demon mask quickly retreated, but the mask was broken in half and fell to the ground!

The man covered his cheeks.

Xiao Tingchen stared at him.

The man has eyebrows and eyes similar to him, only more warm as jade than him.

The thin lips seemed to always have a cynical smile, a cold jade-like face was handsome and demonic, and there was a little less cinnabar tear mole under the left eye than him.

It's Yuan Sheng......

His twin brother, Yuan Sheng.

Xiao Tingchen put the knife into the sheath with an expressionless face, "Why are you in Jinling?" ”

"Tsk," Yuan Sheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I specially bought a fox demon mask from the night market, and I originally planned to give it to Huai Jin as a meeting gift, but Huai Jin is so cruel, look, you cut all the good gifts in half......"

He picked up the two halves of the mask and held them in his hands regretfully, "Brother, I have spent a lot of silver anyway...... Look at the materials and workmanship of this mask, and look at this lifelike pattern, at a glance, it can be used as a family heirloom from generation to generation......"

Xiao Tingchen rolled his eyes.

His brother has never been heartless, and he doesn't know what to plan behind Sikong Chen's back all day long, and he knows that it's not a good thing to look like that.

He put the lamp back in his hand and had an indifferent attitude, "Now that you and I are fighting for our family and country, you don't seem to have a reason to visit me." Yuan Sheng, to make a long story short, what exactly do you want to do? ”

Seeing that the other party didn't speak for a long time, he turned around, and the guy was lying comfortably on the bamboo couch!

Xiao Tingchen was annoyed, "That's my bed!" ”

See you tomorrow duck,,
