After thinking for a moment, Chengsheng took out a few more dried fish from the storage bag and handed them to the fish man: "Can you take us to your village?" These dried fish should be your honorarium. ”

"Welcome!"

The fish-man takes the dried fish and smiles on his face.

Led by the Fish-Man, Sung Alives and Zhong Ran continue to move deeper into the swamp.

After a while, I saw smoke rising from the sky, and the tall reeds that grew in the swamp gradually disappeared after arriving here.

Along with the reeds disappeared the white mist that permeated the swamp.

So the whole swamp suddenly became enlightened in this instant.

When he looked ahead, he saw countless houses made of stones and reeds, scattered in the open field in front of him.

There are roads paved with stones and dirt between the houses, so that people do not have to step on the slippery and muddy swamp when they walk.

On the road, you can vaguely see fish people walking through the village.

And that's not all.

Among the fishmen, one or two monks could occasionally be seen.

These monks are eccentric.

Most of them are obsessed, and they keep staring at the fish people around them when they walk, and deliberately imitate the words and deeds of the fish people.

Wrong.

Something is so wrong with this village.

After seeing the abnormality of those monks, Chengsheng immediately shot out like lightning and grabbed the neck of the fish-man who led the way for him.

He lifted the fish-man into the air with one hand, frowned, and said, "Is there something you haven't told us?" ”

"Hey,"

The fishman who was choked by Chenghuo's neck not only did not show any panic, but smiled at Chenghuo very calmly.

Immediately after, his whole body exuded a powerful aura unique to a deep diving monk.

This breath forced Cheng Sheng to instinctively let go of the hand holding the fishman, and unconsciously retreated behind him.

He was surprised: "Who the hell are you?" ”

"It's like a fake." The fishman smiled: "I'm just an ordinary fishman in the fish-man village." ”

This.

Hearing the fishman's answer, Chenghuo showed a look of jealousy, and his heart was ready to run away at any time.

He stared at the fishman carefully for a long time, and frowned: "Although you only seem to have a cultivation in the fetal construction stage, the aura you exude is no less than that of a deep diving stage cultivator, are you using some kind of method to hide your strength?" ”

"I really only have the cultivation of the fetal stage, and at the same time, I can indeed exude the aura of a monk in the deep diving stage." The fish-man explained, "The cultivation of the birth period in my body was obtained by my painstaking cultivation when I was a human monk, and as for the breath, it is because after I became a fish-man, I obtained a physical body comparable to that of a deep-diving monk. ”

has the cultivation of the gestation period, and at the same time has the body comparable to that of a monk in the deep diving period??

The fishman's words made Chengsheng stunned.

At this moment, he seemed to realize something in his heart, and hurriedly asked the fish-man: "You mean, not only you, as long as you are a fish-man, you all have a body no less than the deep diving period?" ”

"Huh,"

The fish-man chuckled and nodded, "Yes, it's not just me, all the fish-people in this village have a body comparable to that of a deep-diving monk!" ”

"It's like a tiger and lion can easily kill humans without any cultivation and training when they become adults."

"After humans become fish-people, they don't need to go through any cultivation to obtain a body comparable to that of a deep-diving monk!"

Just between the survival and the fish-man talking.

Zhong Ran suddenly had a guess in his heart, so he interjected: "Your fish-man village, shouldn't it be one of the so-called 'Gu Immortal Inheritance' in the Tianshan Secret Realm?" ”

"The little girl is quite smart."

The fishman nodded in response, "You guessed right: in fact, our fish-man village itself is one of the so-called 'Gu Immortal Inheritance' you are looking for. ”

"The monk who finds the fish-man village only needs to stay in the fish-man village all the time, so over time, he will be assimilated into a fish-man by the village."

"When you become a fish-man, you will be able to have a physical body of this strength."

The fishman explained to Chengsheng and Zhong Ran: "I deliberately concealed it and didn't tell you this before, because I was worried that you would not want to come to this village because you were afraid of the strength of our fishmen, or because you were afraid of becoming a fishman. ”

"And now, you have seen a lot of things with your own eyes, plus I have told you all the secrets of Fish-Man Village."

"So whether to go or stay, whether to have a body comparable to that of a deep-diving monk, or to just turn around and leave, it's up to you to decide!"

"Oh, yes."

The fish-man said, his tone suddenly tinged with undisguised temptation: "I almost forgot to tell you: the physical strength of the fish-man is not only comparable to that of a deep-diving monk, but also has the characteristics of immortality and immortality, and the lifespan is almost endless!" ”

"Eternity?" Cheng Sheng was stunned when he heard this: "Won't you fish people die?" ”

"Of course!"

The fish-man replied, "It is precisely because of the infinite lifespan that we fish-people do not have the concept of 'time'. ”

"So, I can't tell you exactly how old I lived. But one thing I know for sure is that I have learned from the monks from outside that the village has existed for at least 10,000 years since the curse broke out in the secret realm of the Heavenly Mountains, the Heavenly Court fell, and the Fish-Man Village was born. ”

The fishman finally said: "In other words, the fishmen who have lived the longest in our fish-man village are at least 10,000 years old!" ”

This.

Chengsheng is a little moved.

It has to be said that after becoming a fish-man, you can live almost eternally, which is a fatal and irresistible temptation for anyone.

However, all this is just a one-sided statement of the fishman.

Whether this is the case or not will need to be further observed.

At the entrance of Fishman Village.

Faced with the temptation of the fish-man, Chengsheng didn't say much, but just glanced at the fish-man village again.

He asked the fish-man, "So all the monks who stayed in the fish-man village and deliberately imitated the words and deeds of the fish-people did so in order to become fish-people?" ”

"Hmm." The fish-man nodded, "According to those monks, you can imitate the words and deeds of the fish-man like that, and you can speed up the transformation of yourself into a fish-man. ”

"However, whether this statement is just a guess or not, whether it is accurate or not, has not been confirmed."

"After all, even if some monks don't deliberately imitate the fish-men, they can still mutate as long as they stay in the village long enough."

As long as you stay in the Fish-Man Village long enough, you can become a Fish-Man.

After becoming a fishman, not only can you have strong strength, but you can also become immortal and immortal, with an almost endless lifespan.

As for the defects.

Thinking of this, Cheng Huo asked the fish-man again: "But to become a fish-man, you also have to pay a certain price, right?" For example, the body will mutate into a fish-man, for example, you will be trapped in the fish-man village forever, eating reeds and fish, and being hungry and full. ”

The fish-man rushed into life and said: "If the monk stays in the fish-man village, his body will mutate into a fish-man, this is indeed an indisputable fact."

"Whether this is good or bad depends on what you think."

"But what you just said is that you will be trapped in the fish-man village forever, this is what you are guessing out of thin air." "Even if a monk becomes a fishman, he can still leave the village at any time, for example, there are often fishmen in our village who go to the outside world to exchange some food with normal humans in order to improve their food. ”

Cheng Sheng questioned: "Since the fish people can leave the village, why have I never seen the fish people in the place where I am?" ”

The fish-man said without hesitation: "Then if I'm not mistaken, the place where the two of you are located shouldn't be a big place like the 'Pain Domain' or the 'Mitian City', right?" ”

"Just like the people in the village go to the market and go to the big city, do you think that if you are in a poor country somewhere, then there will be fishmen willing to go to you?"

"And if you're in a place where you're in the midst of war, or there's a curse, or there's pollution spreading around, it's even less likely that people will pass by."

"It's not even impossible to directly dismantle the teleportation array on your side in order to prevent the further spread of war, curses, and pollution."

The fishman recalled: "Just like the Heavenly Court and Heavenly Court prospered for ten thousand years ten thousand years ago, all the forces on the entire Xuanwu Star bowed down to it. ”

"But since the curse broke out in the secret realm of the Tianshan Mountains and the pollution spread, it wasn't just an instant that everyone was isolated."

"And then it was only a few hundred years, and the Heavenly Court completely disappeared."

This.

Chengsheng is speechless.

Because of the country where he is located, there is really pollution spreading everywhere.

And if it is as strong as the heavenly court, it will perish because of pollution, then after the Western catastrophe comes, the Great Liang Kingdom will really be in danger

The catastrophe of the West is far from being stopped by one person who survives.

So he didn't think about the Western Tribulation for the time being, and only continued to ask the fishman: "If the fishmen can leave here and go elsewhere, then why do you all have to stay in the fishman village, in this place where you can't even grow crops and can't even satisfy your appetite?" ”

"Because of the curse."

The Fish-Man replied, "The curse of the Fish-Man Village only exists in the Fish-Man Village and its surrounding areas. Once left the Fish-Man Village for too long, the curse weakens over time until it disappears completely, causing the Fish-Man tainted by the curse to become human again. ”

"If you turn back into a human, you will lose the body of a fish-man, and naturally you will lose an almost infinite lifespan."

"So for some fish-people who have lived for thousands of years and have long exceeded the limit of their lifespan, once they leave the fish-man village for too long, they will die because of the exhaustion of their lifespan after turning back into humans, so most of the fish-people will not easily leave the village and settle elsewhere."

"But." Zhong Ran couldn't figure it out: "If you just stay in Fish-Man Village just to live, what is the difference between this and going to prison?" ”

"Don't forget, fish people, like humans, are also capable of cultivating."

The fish-man replied: "For example, among the human monks, my qualifications are considered to be very poor, but with a long lifespan, I have cultivated all the way to the fetal building stage, and there are many, many fish-people like me in the village. ”

"There are also a very small number of fishmen, and they even rely on hard stacking time to cultivate all the way to the blood pill stage."

"And being able to practice is a kind of hope."

Speaking of this, the fishman said with a hint of expectation in his tone: "Because being able to cultivate to the Blood Pill Stage means that we can further break through to the Deep Diving Stage, or even to a higher realm." ”

"And as our realm becomes stronger and stronger, one day, we will no longer be bound by our lifespan, and we will only rely on our own cultivation to become eternal and immortal existences."

"When that day comes, we fishmen will naturally be able to leave this hellish place."

"No matter how far away that day is, even tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, we fish-people have an infinite lifespan, so we can always wait."

Use the fish-man's endless lifespan to practice and pursue the Great Dao.

This motive sounds reasonable.

"Since the fish-man has an infinite lifespan."

Cheng Huo thought for a while and said, "So, can I take advantage of this trait and wait until I am about to die before coming to Fishman Village?" ”

The fishman shook his head and said: "Theoretically, yes, but after all, the fishman village is one of the Gu Immortal inheritances in the secret territory of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Gu Immortal inheritance is not something you can encounter if you want to encounter it, and the randomness in this is too great." ”

"Only fish people can take the initiative to enter the fish-man village."

"Human monks, on the other hand, can only rely on luck. If you are lucky, you may come to the Fish-Man Village by mistake when you come to the Tianshan Secret Realm for the first time, and if you are unlucky, you may spend your whole life looking for it, but you will not be able to find the Fish-Man Village in the Tianshan Secret Realm. ”

Fish-Man Chong Chengsheng and Zhong Ran emphasized: "Therefore, if you two can come to Fish-Man Village this time, it doesn't mean that you will be able to meet them next time, so this is not only your chance to gain eternal life, but it is also very likely to be the only chance to obtain eternal life." ”

Don't miss the opportunity?

Cheng Huo glanced at the monks in the fish-man village.

He found that there was indeed a large number of young monks in the village, and not all of them were dying of old age, so they chose to stay in the fish-man village.

Seeing that Chengsheng was silent, the fishman said again: "In addition, you don't have to be afraid of the strength of our fishmen. ”

"As I said, our fish-men have simply reached the strength of a deep-diving monk in their physical bodies, not their overall strength."

"For example, all kinds of supernatural powers and secret methods, we fishmen can't use them, because most of our fishmen only have cultivation in the fetal construction period."

"So, we usually release the breath of a deep diving monk, and it's okay to use it to scare and scare people."

"If we really want to fight with people, we rely on our strong physical bodies, and our real combat power is equivalent to a Blood Pill Stage monk at best!"

"To support death is to rely on the cultivation of the fetal construction stage, and to be able to tie with the monks of the Blood Pill stage."

"And if it is a fishman with a blood pill stage cultivation, he can rely on his strong body and barely protect himself in the hands of a deep diving stage monk."

"I think the two Daoists are Blood Pill Stage monks, so the two Daoists don't have to be too jealous of the fish people in the village."

"Everyone should be evenly matched, and no one can help anyone."

I don't know if what this fishman said is true or not.

In order to verify the authenticity of what the other party said, Cheng Sheng made a color to the two 'Tie Niu' and 'Yuan Xiujie' on the side, and then pasted it towards Zhong Ran, and whispered a few words to him.

The three of them understood what they meant, and when they dispersed.

Among them, 'Iron Bull' and 'Yuan Xiujie' took advantage of their non-existent characteristics to eavesdrop on what the fishmen and monks in the village were talking about.

Zhong Ran took the initiative to talk directly with other fishmen and monks.

During this period, Chenghuo always stood at the entrance of the village, so that after finding anything wrong, he could alert everyone and run away as soon as possible

Less leaning.

'Tie Niu' and 'Yuan Xiujie', who had collected information, returned to Cheng Huo's side and nodded to Cheng Huo one after another.

And Zhong Ran also followed: "I just asked the others, and what they said is very similar to what this and this fishman said. ”

"Now, you should believe everything I say, right?" Now that he has won the trust of Chengsheng and others, the fishman introduced himself: "In Xiahuabei, this is the name I gave back after becoming a fishman, as for the previous name, I have long forgotten it because it has been too long." ”

"Ikebana-go, there's one last question below."

For now, Cheng Alive's survival is only a temporary disbelief in everything in Fish-Man Village.

But he remained vigilant.

He asked at the fishman Huabei: "Dare to ask Daoyou, can you get some benefits from such a hard effort to keep us?" ”
