Viewed directly, the symbol is formed by a clump of flames and a fish wrapped in flames. The flames were so strong that the fish was in the middle of the flames, exposing only its head, waist, and tail, and the rest of the place was covered by the flames.

I have seen this symbol in the book, and it represents the authority of the lord of the shark people of the East China Sea.

Flipping through the photocopies of the ancient editions of the "Historical Records" and the "Zizhi Tongjian", you can see this symbol in the history from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Tang Dynasty. Many versions of the Republic of China use it to replace the mysterious forces on the sea, which is close to the meaning of the word "concrete" in the modern construction industry instead of concrete, and has become a conventional rule in the industry.

"The fire at the city gate has affected the fish in the pond?" I asked.

Lian Chengbi and the lord of the merman did not have a festival, let alone a contradiction, and the other party came to cover up and kill, only to pursue Jingguan Xiaowu.

The fire was caused by Zhang Quanzhong and Jingguan Xiaowu, but Lian Chengbi had to pay for it, which is really unreasonable.

"Yes. Zhang Quanzhong nodded.

"I'm really sorry. Jingguan Xiaowu bowed deeply to me.

At this point, it is useless to complain. The only thing to do is to return a tooth for a tooth and blood for a blood.

"What else?" I asked Zhang Quanzhong.

Zhang Quanzhong pressed the remote control, and the photo stream continued.

In one set of pictures, Lianchengbi is carried southward, entering through the sluice gate on the east wall of Wulongtan and heading towards the cherry blossom forest.

In another set of pictures, Lian Chengbi stands on the west bank of Wulongtan, standing still. Behind her, in the shadows, dozens of black-robed men stood in shadows, their chests and backs all embroidered with the symbols of flames and fishes.

"Miss Lian didn't have any scars on her body, and I judged that she had been caught by the merman's soul magic, and her spirit was in a state of confinement. Spiritualism is one of the most important weapons used by mermaids to roam the seas, and there are many types beyond imagination. I know only a dozen of them, and according to incomplete statistics, the offshore mermaids have mastered more than 800 kinds of soul dementoring. The Pacific Ocean is so big, there are countless warm currents in the south, cold currents in the north, and deep-sea turbulences...... So I figured that no one would be able to solve the dementorship unless they found these enemies. Mr. Xia, my ability is limited, so I can only contribute so many opinions. Jingguan Xiaowu said apologetically.

"'Koi Vampire Bureau' can restrain the side effects of mental deterioration and body atrophy caused by soul dementorship, if you want to solve the fundamental problem, you must work hard to smash the Huanglong Mansion, just like Yue Wumu back then, the enemy is stronger and I am stronger, and the enemy is more ruthless. Zhang Quanzhong added.

This is indeed the only shortcut, and other than that, you can only close your eyes and wait for death, like an unconscious vegetative person.

"Give me the method, and I'll execute it. I said.

Now, I try to make my point as short as possible and try my best to keep my emotions in check and remain absolutely calm. All the pictures I have just seen have been deeply engraved in my mind, and even if I only see the backs and silhouettes of those people in the future, I can accurately pull them out of the vast sea of people.

"All the information has been transferred to the computer in your ward, and you go back and read it slowly. From today onwards, an all-round coach surnamed Chen will come to your ward regularly and teach you combat techniques, cold weapon fighting techniques, and the use of firearms from scratch. You need to have super physical strength - alas, there is so much you need to learn to fight the Lord of the Sharks. Zhang Quanzhong said.

He had faith in me, but it was clearly lacking.

"Take care of her, and I'll take care of the rest. I said lightly.

I didn't stay around Lianchengbi for too long, it only affected my mood and wore down my fighting spirit.

The winter wolves have arrived, and I have no time to waste.

After returning to the ward, I turned on the computer as soon as possible to read the information transmitted by Zhang Quanzhong.

The existing information is divided into two parts, the first part is about the situation of the lord of the sharks, and the second part is about the ghost market of the sharks.

Regarding the lord of the merman, after various official historical records and wild history rumors are blended together, he has obtained the image of a "careerist, a great pirate, a ninjutsu supreme, a global predator, and an anti-human leader".

Historically, the small coastal countries of Asia have paid tribute to the Chinese Celestial Empire many times, escorting jewels and treasures to Chang'an in the Han and Tang dynasties, Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Beijing in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The main reason is that he is fed up with the coercion and oppression of the lord of the merman, and hopes that the Celestial Empire can send a large army to sweep the East China Sea and eliminate the trouble of the merman.

In these materials, the lord of the shark has been characterized as a danger to global peace and the head of the terrorist force, which is 100 million times more harmful than the hegemon of small countries in the Middle East. If several superpowers in the world can join forces to encircle the Pacific Ocean from the east, north and west, there is great hope for exterminating the lord of the merman.

I know a thing or two about the world situation, so I don't have any hope for the "triumph alliance" that I hope for in the data.

Anyone with military common sense knows that the most lethal weapon today is super-nuclear, and the total amount of nuclear weapons possessed by the superpowers is more than enough to destroy the earth hundreds of times.

If the three countries join forces to attack the great enemy of mankind, the Lord of the Sharks, they will definitely use the highest level of nuclear weapons and shoot them into the Pacific Ocean in the form of bullets and bombardments. As a result of that, even if the lord of the shark is eliminated, it will form a trend of drinking water to quench thirst. If the Pacific Ocean is contaminated, all the world's waters will be spared.

If humanity loses water, there is only one way to die.

Since a large-scale strike will not work, all that remains is a single assassination with little hope. Back then, Great Qin was strong, and the other six countries also sent a great swordsman of Jing Ke's level to risk death to assassinate, but in the end there was no result.

I disagree with the arguments summarized in this source, but I just memorize as much information as possible about the Lord of the Shark in order to have a clear idea.

The second part of the information mentions that there are "shark ghost markets" in every prosperous city in the Central Plains. In other words, the merman is not far from human beings, and has long been mixed in, dressed as human beings, and doing unknown things in private.

From a certain point of view, before the Japanese invaders launched a large-scale war, they sent spies to spy on the three northeastern provinces, the military situation in the capital, and many secrets of the north-south arterial roads, and their methods were very similar to those of today's mermen.

History is always so strikingly similar, at that time, the Central Plains people failed to see through the wolf ambitions of the Japanese spies in advance, and today's Central Plains people also know nothing about the hidden plans of the sharks.

Searching from the list of addresses, I saw the gathering place of the "Shark Ghost Market" in Jinan City - Dengzhou Spring.

For me, that name is not unfamiliar, it is located on the west side of Baotu Spring, the north side of Wanzhu Garden, and the east side of Changchun Guan Street in Jiaozi Lane, close to the west wall of Baotu Spring Park.

In the introduction of the seventy-two famous springs in Jinan, there is also a sentence of "Dengzhou Spring leads to the sea eye", but foreign tourists are rushing to the three streams of water of Baotu Spring, and they do not care about other small springs in the park, so that the former is full of people and the latter is full of birds.

The name of Dengzhou Spring comes from the important coastal defense town "Dengzhou" in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

It is only separated by a wall from Changchun View Street, and from the scissors lane to the end, it is over the wall.

Since I was a child, I don't know how many times I have passed there, but I never knew that it was a place where the sharks gathered for bartering.

I also browsed the locations of the merman ghost market in several other cities, Badaguan in Qingdao, Nanshan Park on Huanshan Road in Zhifu District in Yantai, and Second Bathing Beach in Dalian...... I also noticed that even in the capital of Asia, where the security force is the largest in Asia, there is a merman ghost market in the east of Panjiayuan in the East Fourth Ring Road, whose history can be traced back to the absurd era when the Eight-Nation Coalition drove out the Western Empress Dowager.

The mermaids belong to the rivers and lakes, and they can only be cleared, hunted and even uprooted by the forces of the rivers and lakes in the Central Plains, rather than relying on the power of the White Dao.

The second part has a detailed exploration of the "Shark Ghost Market", and also lists all kinds of rare treasures traded in the ghost market. Night pearl, ambergris, ancient porcelain, ancient gold, sandalwood, agarwood, ebony...... These seem to be of the greatest interest to the shark people, and some of them are extremely expensive.

Then there are the ancient nautical maps, which are also highly sought-after items in barter.

From the data pictures, I saw a lot of nautical charts marked with ancient characters, the oldest is actually marked with oracle bone inscriptions, which can be seen from the Yin Shang period.

I can't help but sigh that the insight of human archaeologists is extremely short-sighted. They thought that ancient Chinese navigation was not well developed, because there were neither large ships nor compasses or compasses at that time, and the hope of conquering the sea was almost zero. They conduct archaeological research in a self-contained, closed-door manner, without looking up at the outside world at all.

Sharks are born in the sea and can swim all over the world without a large compass, just like schools of fish that follow the warm currents of the Pacific Ocean.

Once the research is expanded to the global field of continental and maritime people, the history of human civilization for 5,000 years will be completely changed.

I read the information quickly, closed my eyes and meditated, and let it be transformed into personal knowledge that can be stored in my head.

Going to the "Shark Ghost Market" is not the fundamental goal, I need to get close to those aliens in order to understand how to get to the place where the Lord of the Sharks lives.

I'm not an antique dealer, and I don't value mermaid treasures, I just want to conquer them in the shortest possible time and in the quickest way possible, and give Lianchengbi a chance to be reborn.

Time flies, and by the time I browsed the materials for the second time, it was already bright outside the window.

The nurse surnamed Tang knocked on the door and came in to help me measure various physiological indicators.

Her facial features are very upright, and when she concentrates on her work, she has a serious expression without a hint of a smile.

"Your last name is Don?" I asked.

The nurse pointed to the work sign on her chest: "Tang San." ”

I didn't ask anymore, knowing that she had nothing to do with Tang Wan, she just happened to have the same surname. Among the hundred surnames, Tang is not a small surname, and there are at least millions of people with the surname Tang in the country, who are not related to each other.

After Tang Sang finished the examination, he bowed to me and saluted: "Congratulations to you, Mr. Xia, everything is normal. In this case, according to the leader's arrangement, I will bring the gentleman surnamed Chen over today to guide you in your recovery. In addition, the VIP fitness room next door has also been expanded and rectified in accordance with the opinions of the leaders. If it is convenient, please come and check it after breakfast. ”

The Chinese are humble and courteous, and all orders from the top are uniformly called "leadership arrangements".

I knew that the person surnamed Chen was not a rehabilitation instructor, but a martial arts instructor hired by Zhang Quanzhong for me.

"Okay, I'll go and see. I pushed the computer away and rolled over and got out of bed.

Tang Sang led me to the living room, opened a hidden secret door, and walked into a huge gym of more than 400 square meters.

All gym equipment has been evacuated to the four sides of the room, leaving an open space at least fifteen meters square in between.

"Good. I said.

If I can conduct systematic martial arts training in this kind of place, I will definitely quickly improve my combat effectiveness and make up for my shortcomings.

"Mr. Xia, I'm going to prepare breakfast. Tang Sang said.

I waved my hand: "No, I'm not hungry." ”

An old man with a thin body and a shriveled chest and abdomen came out of nowhere and refuted loudly: "If you don't eat breakfast, how can you have the strength to practice? People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat one meal, it will be difficult to make up for ten meals." From today onwards, you will not only have breakfast, but you must also eat three meals a day in accordance with the scientific nutrition recipe. Skip breakfast, skip breakfast...... I really doubt how you grew up like this, you don't even have this basic common sense. Okay, okay, Miss Nurse, you go and prepare a double breakfast for him, he is like this, he knows that he didn't eat dinner yesterday, and he didn't sleep all night. ”

Tang Sang nodded softly and agreed, "Yes, Mr. Chen." ”

I looked at the old man and felt a little uncomfortable.

"What are you staring at? Am I not right?" the old man had a big shelf, holding two sterling silver health balls in his left palm, and when his fingers were playing, he made a "smack" sound.

"You're right, the juniors have been taught. I whispered.

From today on, I will teach you kung fu, but I will first say the ugly things in front, limited to one month, if you are not the material for martial arts, then after that month we will part ways, and then there will be neither the name of master and apprentice, nor the reality of master and apprentice. Within a month, if you can satisfy me, I will teach you some real kung fu to fight invincible opponents all over the world, and make you famous in the world......"

This old man surnamed Chen had a very strong tone, and he could even say such words as "invincible opponents all over the world", which made me can't help but laugh secretly.

"Before I teach, let me ask you a key question - what is the trick to defeating your opponent?" he circled around me, constantly looking up and down.

"There is no thick into the room. I gave the answer right away.

The same point of view has been mentioned in the Tao Te Ching and the Cooking, attacking the enemy's empty door with the sharpest weapon, forming a huge contrast between strength and weakness, and instantly hitting the opponent's vital point, which is the key to victory.

"Then explain these five words to me. He said again.

I hesitated a little, after all, those who have a little language foundation understand what these five words mean, and the more they explain, the more confusing they become, and even that there is no need to explain at all, as long as they say this, all Chinese people in the world will understand.

"You can't even explain the reasoning, and you just think that you have already understood these specious reasoning, isn't it tied? If these reasoning cannot be applied to actual combat, what is the point of you understanding it or not?" he asked again.

"Of course I understand this reasoning, Mr. Chen, you say that I don't understand, but you are deliberately using strong words. If you don't believe me, let's ask a hundred people, and they will all know the meaning of these five words. "I defend myself.

In China's education system, children will recite hundreds of ancient poems and hundreds of ancient texts from childhood to adulthood, accumulating a large number of good words and sentences. These are the foundations of language when they grow up, and if they can properly quote famous sentences when talking to people and writing articles, it proves their cultivation and knowledge.

This is the evolution of China's 5,000-year-old culture, and it is not the result of one person or one word overnight.

"You don't understand, boy, I asked you the key to the battle, I wanted the truth, the truth, and you answered me with a crepe official and a look. If it's an exam, you can only get zero points. Boy, think about it and answer me again. He said with a sneer.

Our meeting was off to a bad start, we didn't talk to each other, he wasn't happy with my answer, and I didn't know what he was trying to ask.

After more than ten minutes of silence, Tang Sang appeared next to the secret door and greeted with a smile: "Mr. Xia, it's time to have breakfast." ”

I left the old man behind and went back to the living room alone.
