Early the next morning, Liu Qingming waited outside Lingchen's door early, when Lingchen appeared at the door, Liu Qingming only felt that his eyes lit up, today's Lingchen was dressed in light makeup and elegant, her eyebrows were pretty, and a little red lips made the whole face more vivid, showing fortitude in gentleness, which made Liu Qingming's heart tremble. Seeing Liu Qingming's blank eyes, Lingchen's still pale face was smeared with a faint red glow, it was not that she couldn't feel Liu Qingming's thoughts, but her heart was full of Tuoba Hongxuan, and she couldn't tolerate others in this life. At this time, Lingchen smiled awkwardly, gave Liu Qingming a sideways salute, and said, "Young Master Liu, Lingchen first took Hongxuan to thank Gongzi for his help, I don't know...... Is it time to go? ”

Lingchen's words made Liu Qingming stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up from his reverie, and couldn't help but secretly laugh at his gaffe, but there was a little more loss in his heart, so he had to smile reluctantly and said, "Well, okay, let's go now." After speaking, he turned around and led Lingchen out of the Liuzhuang compound.

The two were silent all the way until they came to Zihai Village. As soon as Liu Qingming led Lingchen into the village, he went straight to the house of Uncle Qi, the eldest "old sea ghost" in the village, only to see that this Uncle Qi had already turned his temples white, but his spirit was still the same, not only as loud as a bell but also honest. After Liu Qingming briefly introduced the intentions of the two of them, he saw Uncle Qi carefully look at Lingchen, and said slowly: "Little girl, do you know what is in the place where you are going?" ”

Hearing this, Lingchen shook his head silently. Uncle Qi said in a rare and earnest voice: "The Three Immortal Islands are actually the place where the Krakens gather."

"What! Kraken "Kraken! Lingchen and Liu Qingming both exclaimed. Lingchen didn't know much about the kraken, but when he looked back and saw Liu Qingming's pale face, he felt faintly uneasy.

I only heard Uncle Qi continue: "Yes, it's a kraken, I haven't seen a really living kraken, but I heard the old people in the village say that it looks terrifying, half human, half fish, and can eat people." Every time Sanxian Island appears, many of our fishermen dare not go out to sea, and as soon as they go to sea, they will disappear without a trace, and they will never be found again. It's just that I don't know why since decades ago, some stupid people from the rivers and lakes will compete to go to Sanxian Island, it's really a problem with their brains! As he spoke, Uncle Qi couldn't stop sighing and shaking his head.

And Lingchen on the side felt desolate in his heart, and his face became more and more pale. Liu Qingming always secretly looked at Lingchen beside her from the corner of her eyes, looking at her pale face and slightly trembling body, she couldn't help but feel a slight pain in her heart, and just when she wanted to reach out to support her, Lingchen suddenly stepped forward, took Uncle Qi's hand and said, "Uncle, I'm going to Sanxian Island, take me there, okay?" ”

"Poof" Hearing this, the old sea ghost squirted out the sip of tea he had just drunk, and Liu Qingming shrewdly dodged to avoid the result of the tea attack.

The old sea ghost stared at the petite and weak girl in front of him with wide eyes, and said, "Girl, don't joke with the old man, Sanxian Island is not a place where you can go as a little girl."

"Uncle is inconvenient to go, then give me the map, I'll go by myself, okay?" Lingchen still begged unrelentingly.

The old sea ghost shook his head helplessly and said, "I said, girl, do you know the danger of Sanxian Island, this will be killed."

Hearing this, Lingchen nodded and said: "I want to find him, even if it is a corpse, if I can't even find the bones, I am willing to find it forever or bury myself in the sea without regrets......", such an answer shocked the old sea ghost looked at Lingchen in a daze and couldn't say a word, and Liu Qingming on the side also looked at her with a gloomy expression and had nothing to say.

At this moment, a young man about twenty years old rushed in, and as soon as he saw the old sea ghost, he shouted: "Big, big, uncle, go quickly...... Look...... Seaside, seaside...... There were a lot of strange corpses, like, it seemed to be a kraken's! ”

These words made the three people in the room startled, Lingchen rushed to the beach first, Liu Qingming also followed, and when the old sea ghost reacted, he hurriedly rushed to the beach with the young man who had just come in. When they came to the beach, they saw that there were already a lot of people around, and the beach was full of mutilated and strange corpses, emitting a foul smell, and many seabirds were already circling in the air. The old sea ghost led everyone to carefully examine these corpses, and I have to say that it is really like what the old people said, most of these corpses are half-human and half-fish monsters, which seem to be male and female, with hideous faces. At this time, Zhang County's Yamen of the local yamen also led the servants and many officials to arrive, and when they saw so many strange-shaped corpses, they were immediately at a loss for what to do.

Lingchen hurriedly took out a few pills from his arms, let the villagers melt them with water, then soaked the silk handkerchief in the potion, covered his mouth and nose, and then took out the white cloth brought from the medicine valley to wrap his hands, then walked to the county office, Shi Li said: "County government master, let's distinguish the corpse first."

Zhang Xianya, who was awakened by a word, hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes", so, under the leadership of Lingchen and the officials, the corpses on the beach were quickly distinguished. There are a total of one hundred and thirty-eight kraken corpses and fifty-two human corpses, it can be said that the people who went to sea are all here, but they didn't see Tuoba Hongxuan and their group, which made Lingchen's almost desperate heart ignite hope again. Subsequently, Lingchen and Qizuo began to investigate the cause of death of these people and the Kraken. Looking at the busy petite figure, Liu Qingming admired it in his heart, and he was even more reluctant, and his eyes couldn't help but stick to Lingchen's body.

At this time, the county government came over, followed Liu Qingming's eyes and looked at Lingchen, and said with a faint smile: "Young Master Liu, good vision, this girl is good."

Hearing this, Liu Qingming smiled helplessly and said, "But she already has someone in her heart, and she came here to find talents."

"Oh, I didn't expect to be really a loving and righteous girl" Zhang Xianya's evaluation of Lingchen was much higher.

Looking at the infatuated Liu family son next to him, Zhang Xianya smiled softly, patted Liu Qingming on the shoulder and said: "Brother, don't be too demanding in everything, it is also a great blessing in life to be a confidant."

Hearing this, Liu Qingming smiled and said: "Thank you for the enlightenment of the county ya, Qingming will remember", Zhang Xian Ya nodded, and then led the officials to carry the coffins from the car one by one. At the same time, he gave a rough report on the results of the survey, and the basic situation was as follows: most of these people died from killing each other, and only a few were bitten to death by the big fish in the sea; Most of the Kraken also died under the spear, some of which had broken bones due to gravity, and the spear was obviously not owned by the Jianghu people.

After listening to the words, Zhang Xianya's brows couldn't help frowning, and said: "So, according to this, most of the people in the rivers and lakes died from killing each other, and the krakens also died from killing each other?" So, they still kill each other in the same sea? This logic doesn't make sense, right? Hearing such a result, the old sea ghost laughed and said with a smile: "This is incredible, right?" And so the crowd began to talk about it.
