"What do you know about a merman?" Mendong asked curiously.

Hairpin Star paused and said, "The merman I know is a girl......

She recounted the story she had heard countless times, and finally said: "The next morning, the sun rose from the sea, and the mermaid turned into foam and disappeared into the sea. ”

This Western story is too shocking in the Eastern immortal cultivation world. Mendong was young, and his eyes immediately turned red after hearing this, and he muttered, "How can this be? ”

Hairpin Xing was about to comfort the kid for a few words, when he suddenly heard someone talking behind him: "This story is very fresh, but the kind merman in your mouth only exists in the story." The real merman is much more ferocious than this. ”

When they looked back, they saw a strange old woman standing behind them, and they did not know how long they had been listening to them. The old woman's gray hair was meticulously tied into a bun, and her red robe was tied up with a black belt around her waist, revealing her black boots. The weather in Li'er Country was hot, and most of the locals were dressed coolly, but this old woman was heavily dressed. Although he is old, he can still see a little bit of his youthful demeanor from the eyebrows alone.

The natives of Li'er Country were always lazy, with a leisurely smile on their faces, but this woman was like a taut bow, beautiful, heroic, and exuding a sense of strength from top to bottom. Even though he is old, he still catches people's eyes at a glance, and the brilliance is difficult to ignore.

"Are you ......?" asked the hairpin.

"Just a passerby." The woman in red did not answer the hairpin's words, but walked to the statue, looked at the statue and said lightly: "Forty years ago, the country of Li'er was plagued by monsters, mutilating young women and sucking their blood. The lord of the country personally led the defenders to fight the monsters, and found that the monsters were actually sharks in the West Sea. The demon shark was ferocious, almost killed the general army of the city, and the lord of the country killed the demon shark with his own hands, but he was seriously injured because of it, and finally died with the demon shark. ”

She said it abruptly, as if she had seen the scene of the lord of the country killing the demon shark with her own eyes.

The woman in red looked at the hairpin: "Girl, the monsters are ferocious, you can tell stories, but don't whitewash them." Otherwise, the blood of the lord of the country and the general army of the city would have been shed in vain. When he said the last sentence, his expression suddenly became serious.

The hairpin was a little embarrassed for a while, so he had to turn his eyes to the same door for help.

Tian Fangfang smiled and played a round game: "This lady, let's just talk about it casually, naturally we can't take it seriously." The old lord of Li'er Country took the lead, fought with the demon shark, and protected the people of a country, amazing, too powerful! We all admire him! ”

This compliment sounded a little unhearted, and the hairpin was thinking about whether to add a few more words to be more sincere, and at this moment, Mimi on his side suddenly "whined", his body arched, and his hair exploded. Hairpin was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone screaming in the distance, and when he looked up, on the edge of the beach, countless figures were chaotic in an instant, scattering and fleeing into the distance, sometimes mixed with frightened shouts.

"Help, help, dead!"

"Youkai, there's a youkai—"

"The youkai has killed someone!"

Tian Fangfang was taken aback: "What's the matter, what's wrong?" ”

"There's a demonic aura ahead." Gu Baiying frowned and looked in the direction where the crowd had fled, "I'll take a look." ”

......

On the sands of the west coast, civilians quickly dispersed under the command of the city's defenders. When the hairpin and his party arrived at the inn, they were already surrounded by the city defenders outside, and when they saw the hairpin and his party preparing to go in, the guard asked, "Who is it?" ”

Meng Ying showed him the pass card distributed by the lord of the country, and after the guards saw it, they immediately put away their swords and said respectfully: "It turns out to be several immortal leaders of the Taiyan faction, please come in." ”

"What's going on here?" Mu Jiexiao asked: "Is there a monster to haunt?" ”

"I can't say a word," the guard looked a little embarrassed, "A few immortal elders, let's go in first and have a look." ”

There are many inns close to the beach near the ear country, and the end of the "Xianxun Sea" where the hairpin star lives is close to the city, with the best scenery, convenient shopping, and the highest price, and the monks who are not short of money often live there. On the other side of the deep mangrove forest, the price is much cheaper, but the scenery is also good, and the wealthy local officials of Li'er Country occasionally stay here.

The inn where the accident occurred was near the end of the mangrove forest.

As soon as he stepped into the inn, Mimi jumped off Tian Fangfang's shoulder with a "whoosh" and went straight in a certain direction. Everyone followed, and they saw in front of a room, and the Rong Yu of the Liuli Sect, who had seen it during the day, was holding Mimi and looked at it with a surprised face.

"Rongyu?" Hairpin asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I see that there is a pharmacy near here, come out to find some herbs for my senior brother, and I heard that something happened here on the way, so I came in to take a look......" Before he finished speaking, a familiar figure appeared from behind him, and it was actually the three of them from Chihuamen.

Tan Tianxin probably didn't expect to meet them here, so he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing some bruises on Rong Yu's face, Hairpin Xing knew in his heart, could this person have happened to meet Tan Tianxin here and was in trouble again, right?

Gu Baiying couldn't bear to greet them, so he just pushed everyone away and walked into the room, saying, "It's so bloody, what's going on?" ”

Hairpin Star also hurriedly followed.

This is a single room, not very large, as soon as you enter the room, you are immediately greeted by a huge fishy smell. Looking around, there were blood splatters everywhere on the roofs, walls, and floors of the rooms in the inn. The snow-white gauze tent was almost completely stained red with blood, and there was a "person" lying on the bed, saying that it was a "person", but it was really impossible to see the appearance of half a person, but like a withered tree trunk, only a dry skin sticking to the bone, and the eye sockets were deeply sunken.

Hairpin Xing bumped into this scene without psychological preparation, and with an "ah" sound, Gu Baiying turned around: "What's the noise?" ”

Hairpin grabbed his arm and blocked it in front of his eyes, and said in a low voice, "...... Dead person. ”

has lived so much, to be honest, she hasn't seen someone die, but it's the first time she's seen such a miserable death. The situation is terrifying, I'm afraid that I will have a nightmare when I return to the inn tonight.

"Let it go." Gu Baiying said angrily.

Hairpin Xing hesitated a few times in his heart, and finally his heart was crossed, he closed his eyes and let go of his arm, turned around, and dared to open his eyes when he turned his back to the female corpse on the couch. As soon as I opened my eyes, I heard a woman's voice coming from outside the door, with undisguised mockery: "I didn't expect that the newly recruited female disciple of the Taiyan Sect is actually a coward who is afraid of even the dead." ”
