Chapter 137: Ahan's Sister
Under the leadership of Jing Xiaowei, Ji Beichen and Yan Nianxin followed him to the second floor of the post station. The first floor of this inn is a place to eat, and the second floor is a place to stay.
The three of them went up to the second floor, and when they saw that the doors of the rooms on the second floor were closed, they wondered which room they were in. Hearing the light and pleasant sound of the piano in his ears, Jing Xiaowei walked towards an upper room on the left side of the corridor as soon as he heard the sound of the piano.
Jing Xiaowei pushed the door in, and saw a woman with a graceful figure in a navy blue waist-length silk skirt in the center of the front hall, who was bowing her head and caressing a guqin on the table in front of her.
The silk is the silk woven by the embroidery lady of the shark people, and the clothes made of this silk are elegant and light, exuding a dazzling light. Even in the dark night, this light is also brilliant, like a cloud steaming in the clouds.
The woman's face was not covered with gouache, and a simple bun was tied on her head, and only a flowery tassel hairpin was inserted into the bun. Although she was not carefully dressed, she was not dominated by the hustle and bustle on her body. She had a light smile on her cheeks, a blue-blue aura at the center of her eyebrows, and a subtle elegance in her gentleness.
This silk is a rare thing, even if it is a concubine in the palace, very few people can get it. Ji Beichen once heard Yan Yueli mention it, saying that she had one of this dress made of shark silk when she was a child. When the two were young, on the night they met by chance under the moonlit night, she wore a silk skirt. And now, this shark silk is even more rare.
Yan Yueli told him that the embroidered girl of the merman tribe who weaves the merman silk must be a girl with more than half of the merman blood, and on the night of the full moon, she shows the form of the merman, floats on the sea, exposes the silver-white tail fin, and absorbs the brilliant power of the moonlight to weave a dazzling mermaid.
The mermaid clan has been ashore and intermarried for many years, and the bloodline has gradually declined, and the power of the bloodline has gradually weakened. Not only is the ability to weave shark silk no longer there, but there are also very few female cultivators in the Haikuo Sect who are proficient in the art of water control, and more of them have to study the charm technique such as "Lingering Voice".
When the three of them pushed the door in, the song in the woman's hand was just finished. The woman raised her eyes and saw the three of them standing at the door, and hurriedly got up to greet them.
Ji Beichen has seen a lot of beautiful people, his junior sister Lu Xinrui, Yan Yuezong's disciple Shen Qingxi, and his petite and lovely Yan Yueli, all of whom are rare talented women in the world.
And the woman in front of him today shocked Ji Beichen, such a bright and noble woman made Ji Beichen a little worried, worried that this woman would be difficult to find a suitable lover.
This worry only stayed in his mind for a moment, Ji Beichen came back to his senses, saw the woman raise her eyes to look at them, and politely said: "The mountains and rivers are flowing water, and the aftermath is lingering." The merman is good at singing, but he doesn't want this piano to be very good! ”
The woman hadn't heard such sincere words for a long time, so she lowered her head and smiled: "Childe said that he was joking, this piano was given by an old friend, and I learned to play the song of mountains and flowing water, but it wasted a lot of my effort!" ”
Ji Beichen continued: "My father once said that mountains and rivers are hard to find. If there is any regret in his life, it is that he does not understand music and does not learn to play the piano! ”
As soon as the woman raised her eyes, she saw Ji Beichen's appearance, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She asked tentatively, "Childe's father is not good at music, so what is he good at?" ”
Ji Beichen saw the woman asking him this, and knew that the woman was about to recognize him, so he replied: "My father has been studying the art of kendo and sword forging all his life, and he has nothing else!" ”
As if she had received a definite answer, the woman moved closer to Ji Beichen and asked cautiously, "Are you really the only son of the eldest prince and the lord of Mu?" The eldest prince he ......"
This woman is Jing Xiaowei's sister, the suzerain of the Haikuo Sect, and the princess of the merman clan. The merman tribe is divided into male sharks and female sharks, and the merman king of the previous generation has three children, the eldest daughter Canglan, the eldest son Canghai, and the youngest son Canghan.
In the early years, the previous generation of mermaid kings fell, and the princess Canglan took most of the clansmen ashore and established Haikuozong. The eldest prince Canghai inherited the position of the patriarch of the merman king, and led the mermaids who did not want to live ashore to continue to live in the deep sea.
And the little prince Canghan, ten years ago, stayed away from the Canglan Sea, came to Sanssouci Town Juhe Jianzhuang, worshiped under the secret guard Jing Wuwei, and was accepted as a righteous son by Jing Wuwei, and now he has grown into a member of the secret guard.
Jing Xiaowei saw her sister and lost her soul at this time, worried that she would lose her temper, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm, and whispered in her ear: "Sister, he is indeed a little son, and he was found by Juhe Jianzhuang not long ago." Did you come to the outskirts to see him? ”
Seeing his younger brother ask himself like this, Canglan nervously turned his face away, and his tone was slightly flustered: "I just want to know if he is doing well, that is...... Concern as a friend! ”
As soon as she heard her sister say this, Jing Xiaowei only felt that her sister was getting darker and darker. His sister is good at everything, but she is straightforward and will not hide her feelings.
Jing Xiaowei patted her forehead and shouted helplessly: "Sister, you will lose your honor in front of the little boy like this!" ”
Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, the shopkeeper of the post station hurriedly arranged three upper rooms for the three of them. Yan Nianxin was not worried that Ji Beichen would live alone, and said that he would share a room with him.
Ji Beichen knew that Yan Nianxin was worried about his safety, so he gladly accepted this arrangement. The two of them had some dinner in the room, and then slept with their clothes.
Next door to the two's room is Jing Xiaowei's room. At this time, it was late at night, Jing Xiaowei had not fallen asleep, he had just come back from Sister Canglan's room.
Jing Xiaowei has told her sister Canglan the purpose of the trip. The words that Sister said to him echoed in his mind repeatedly at this time, making him a little insomnia tonight......
When Canglan heard Canghan's story, in addition to being surprised, he couldn't stop feeling distressed. She has always been simple and tearful, and she couldn't help but sigh again and again: "The little boy's cultivation path is so bumpy!" The little boy was so seriously injured, if he was still alive, he would definitely protect him, but it's a pity that ......"
Jing Xiaowei saw Canglan with a worried look, and responded: "The matter of the eldest prince is still inconclusive. After all, for ordinary people, the fall of the physical body cannot be recovered overnight! ”
Hearing this, Canglan continued: "The treasure of the merman clan, 'Shark Tears', has never appeared since my grandfather. Otherwise, our merman clan would not have fallen to this point! ”
Jing Xiaowei comforted Canglan and said: "My father-in-law said that the little son's background is extraordinary and the opportunity is great. We only have to do our duty as a merman, as for whether the merman's tears can appear in the world, it depends on the little boy's own ability! ”
When Canglan heard this, he felt a lot relieved, and said again: "Okay, since the second prince said so, tomorrow you will follow me back to Haikuozong, and when I explain the affairs of the sect, I will go down to Canglan Sea with you and persuade Ah Hai!" ”
Jing Xiaowei frowned slightly when she heard Canglan mention Brother Canghai: "What I'm most worried about is Brother." Brother has never joined the WTO, and he doesn't know how much turmoil these changes will bring to the merman clan today. I'm just afraid that he is still stuck in the old things of more than ten years ago, and refuses to let the little boy enter the secret realm of the clan! ”
Jing Xiaowei knew that Sister Canglan had always been clear about right and wrong, and he was not worried about convincing Sister Canghai, the person he was really worried about was Brother Canghai!
If you want to talk about the old things more than ten years ago, you have to mention the black green dragon Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing is a native of the Canglan Sea, the green python is different from the mermaids who live in groups, they like to practice alone, and strive to transform into dragons as soon as possible.
The green python is also a little different from the merman, the merman is born with a humanoid fishtail, which can distinguish between men and women. Before the green python became an adult, it was in the form of a python, and it could not be transformed into a human form, nor could it be divided into male and female.
Xiaoqing is not like the general green python withdrawn, unsociable character, she was not turned into a dragon, when she was a small python, she was lively and active, like to be close to people.
On an outing, Canghai, the eldest prince of the merman clan, inadvertently rescued Xiaoqing, who was captured by fishermen. He saw that Xiaoqing was a young python, so he took Xiaoqing as his pet and kept it by his side. But he didn't expect that one day, his pet cultivation would be enhanced, and the person he would transform into a person would still be a young woman!
And what is even more unexpected is that the "beloved pet" he has worked hard and pampered for many years, after turning into a human form, he quickly fell in love with someone else and wanted to escape from his side...... And the beginning of all these changes is after Ji Yijun appeared in the Canglan Sea!
Canglan knew her brother's concerns, she smiled, pulled Canghan to sit on the chair, and said to him: "After you left, Ah Hai thought a lot, and he went ashore to talk to me a few times. After that, he gradually began to contact people outside the clan, caring about other races in the Canglan Sea, and paying attention to the trends of the Dongcang Cultivation Realm. ”
Speaking of this, Canglan said worriedly: "The situation on the seaside has not been good recently, the merman has not appeared for a long time, and the power of the sea is weakening day by day, and it can no longer shelter all the races in the sea.
A few days ago, the leader of the Canglan Kun was captured and trapped on an island in the middle of the sea with a formation. When I set off, Ah Hai had already begun to organize his clansmen and Kunqun to prepare to rescue Kunshou, but I don't know what the situation is! ”
After many years in the WTO, Jing Xiaowei has already seen through the nature of the world. Because of the power of the special bloodline of the merman race, the strength of the strong body of the Canglan Kun, and the power of the ascension of the Green Python Demon Pill, the Canglan Seaside has not been peaceful.
Driven by profits, the shark people, the Canglan Kun, and the green python have always been the first objects of illegal businessmen to capture.
Jing Xiaowei knew that her elder sister ignored the opposition of her elder brother and the elders of the clan, and resolutely led some of the clansmen ashore to adapt to human life and intermarry with others, which was somewhat helpless.
Sister Canglan imagined that after the clansmen came ashore to live, human beings would be able to understand the mermaids more and no longer regard the mermaids as aliens or monsters. She hopes that through this move, the merman can truly integrate into the human world and coexist with humans on an equal footing.
But Jing Xiaowei knew that the effect of this move was not very good. After coming ashore, the mermaid tribe learned the cunning and greed of human beings, and they were filled with human desires, so that many people gradually lost themselves.
Just like the female elder who just fought with him, she is the Jinlan sisters in the vicissitudes of life, she used to be as simple and honest as Sister A, but unfortunately now she has already changed, and the old things more than ten years ago are more or less her faults.
Sister Ah is kind-hearted and never drives away her clansmen, and the purpose of her founding Haikuozong is also to establish a harbor on the shore where the mermaids can take refuge.
And Jing Xiaowei's brother Canghai, after succeeding to the throne of the mermaid king, closed the passage of the clansmen to the outside world and did not communicate with foreign races, and even other ethnic groups in the deep sea were cut off from Canghai.
Jing Xiaowei was very relieved when she heard Sister Ah talk about Brother A's changes. Jing Xiaowei once tried to persuade Brother A, but Brother A's heart had already been filled with personal hatred, and he couldn't listen to his heartfelt words at all. That's why Jing Xiaowei made up his mind back then, left the Canglan Sea, and defected to the second son, Jing Wuwei's secret guard organization.
Jing Xiaowei was relieved a lot, and half-jokingly said: "I didn't expect my brother to have such a big change, if he had woken up earlier, I wouldn't have left my hometown to join my father-in-law!" ”
