【050】Dragon Silk Palace
Xiao Shizhu didn't know that Yingzhao didn't deceive him, including the ghost mother, who had vaguely felt the existence of divine power in his body as early as when he entered the palace.
At first, the ghost mother was still skeptical that he would be sent by Emperor Xudu, and he was always so obscene, so for the sake of safety, she gave him small shoes to wear. And the ghost mother has not broken the matter so far.
And his divine power is useless in the human world because of physical reasons. The mortal fetus of the naked eye suppresses the divine power, making it impossible to manifest.
When he died, he became a human soul, and black and white impermanence appeared in time and handcuffed him with a lock god. It was this kind of thing created by the ancient gods to deal with the fallen gods and souls that suppressed his divine power.
The intention is to make him look like an ordinary human soul in front of the souls other than the demon soul and the divine soul, so that he will not be seen by the soul of King Qin Guang, and immediately reincarnate him;
And Mo Zhai also sold his life for Emperor Xudu and obtained some magic skills, so that he could vaguely perceive the divine power in his body, so he always wanted to secretly win him over. It's just that Xiao Shizhu still doesn't know anything about these, so he is confused and dazed.
Lu Wu saw that he was skeptical, so he walked over and asked, "Big brother, do you have the ability to forget?" After he said this, Xiao Shizhu realized that he really seemed to be looking at something, as long as he put his mind to it. The recipe for alabaster is a good list.
"It seems like yes. He nodded stunnedly, and after a little recollection, he defended himself with ignorance: "No, it seems that a small number of human souls can also do it, as long as you work hard to exercise your memory." ”。
"Actually, no, very few souls can do this, it can almost be said that it is impossible to really do it, read it once and write it down word for word. Lu Wu's face was serious, and he said to him with certainty: "Unless this human soul, with the blood of the divine soul, is born with the ability of divine consciousness, he can never forget it, and can make all things in the universe know in his heart through the ages." ”。 Judging from the other party's look, it really doesn't look like a joke.
"I just remember it for a long time?" Xiao Shizhu was stunned for a moment, and after a little lost sigh, he said indignantly: "Is this a bird?"
"No, big brother. Ying Zhao saw that he was in a hurry, and hurriedly explained to him patiently with a smile: "What the third brother said is just one of them, it is a necessary ability for any divine soul, which is enough to prove that you are a true son of a god." As for the use of the divine power in your body, you will only know when the seal is lifted. ”。
"Then how to unseal?" Xiao Shizhu rubbed his hands and asked again.
After Lu Wuying looked at each other when he heard this, he shook his head blankly. This unsealing requires a "key", and now that the "key" is not in their hands, they cannot unseal it.
Seeing this, Xiao Shizhu felt a wave of loss in his heart, and muttered: "That's tantamount to talking in vain." ”。
"It's not in vain. Wu Zhiqi smiled and said, "When the demon soul is close to you, you can feel the divine power in your body, isn't this more convincing to the merman?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Shizhu's eyes lit up, and after looking around at Lu Wuying, he asked, "Really?" Although he is more concerned about this divine power, he still has a clear priority, and the top priority is to win over the merman as soon as possible. Once the war comes, as Lin Cong said, it will be better to win this war.
"Of course, when you fought with me, I felt it as soon as you approached me on the beach. It is so powerful that I am afraid, as if heaven and earth were one with you. Wu Zhiqi nodded his head while recalling, and said solemnly: "I swear by the lives of my seven aunts and eight aunts, it is indeed true." The five senses of our demon souls are stronger than those of the absolute majority of human souls. ”。
"Where are your seven aunts and eight aunts?" Seeing Xiao Shizhu in turn, his frowning brows slowly unfolded, so he smiled and said, "Okay! Lu Wu stayed to watch the garrison camp, and at noon I took Ying Zhao and Wu Zhiqi to Longxuan Island." It was such a happy decision. ”......
At noon, a sea falcon that did not carry the flag of the ghost mother country quietly left the military port of Shuoyue Island and headed in the direction of Longxuan Island. The ship carried a battalion of soldiers, as well as Xiao Shizhu, Ying Zhao, and Wu Zhiqi.
It's cold today, and there's a little north wind blowing on the sea. Xiao Shizhu did not stand on the bow of the ship and look into the distance like when he went out to fight Wuzhiqi. Instead, he shrank in the cabin and summoned two demon souls with Wu Zhi Qi Ying, discussing the issue of unsealing his divine power.
After discussing for a long time, the three souls didn't think of any feasible way without using the "key", so they had to give up.
In the evening, the sergeant came to report that the island had arrived. Xiao Shizhu left the cabin and stood on the deck. By the light of the stars in the sky, you can see the outline of an island not far from the bow of the ship. There was also a faint singing voice like gurgling water, coming from the island ahead. The image of singing every night is manifested on the distant island with the singing.
According to the record in the book "Chronicles of the Netherworld", the mermaid is covered with black scales, has cheeks on both cheeks, is good at singing, and can speak in the water. It seems that the front is indeed Longxuan Island, and there is no doubt about it.
Xiao Shizhu hurriedly asked the sergeants to anchor and stop the ship, and did not move forward, and planned to send Yingzhao to the island first to inform the mermaids. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the hull of the ship tremble violently. The tremor was so violent that the hull, which had been flat, suddenly swayed from side to side, and Xiao Shizhu almost stood unsteadily, and almost stumbled and fell on the deck.
The sergeants panicked, and then they all climbed to the women's wall, looked down with torches, and said, "It can't be a rock, right?" But after looking for a long time, I couldn't see anything but the clear blue water.
"Don't panic!" After Xiao Shizhu scolded the sergeants, he said to Ying: "It may be a merman, go and shout to them." ”。 The tremor just now was obviously not hitting the rock, as if a pair of invisible giant hands were pushing a sea falcon from the side. At this time, they have entered the sphere of influence of the merman, and maybe the merman warned them not to take a step forward.
Ying Zhao answered, hurriedly walked to the female wall, and shouted loudly into the sea: "Shark friends, I am the ancient god guarding Ying Zhao, please come out and speak first." ”。
He shouted four or five times, but no one answered, except for the sound of the waves and the sound of the sea breeze. It's just that their boat, which is no longer shaking, has quietly stabilized.
"What should I do, big brother?" Ying Zhao asked, looking back.
"Don't move, just park the boat here. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Shizhu felt that although this merman was short-tempered, it was not a thirst for killing, and it was not enough for the ship to sink it when it approached their place of residence. Now I can only wait, and when it is dawn, I will send Yingzhao to bring people to the island to report.
After waiting quietly for a long time, the sergeant standing at the bow of the ship suddenly shouted in a hurry: "General, look, what is that?"
When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he hurriedly rushed to the bow of the boat with Ying Zhao and Wu Zhiqi, and looked forward with the torches in the hands of the soldiers. I saw that there were a few more black shadows in the sea, and they were galloping towards them from far and near.
One of the black shadows was very similar to a dragon, more than a foot long, a pair of short horns on the top of the head, a collared neck with white patterns, a blue pattern on the back, a swaying tail with hard fleshy spines on the tip, limbs like brocade forging with multicolored colors, and it was constantly paddling to make it face forward in the water.
As soon as he saw this black shadow, the word "Jiao" appeared in Xiao Shizhu's mind, and the appearance of this black shadow was exactly the same as the Jiao recorded in ancient books. At the same time, he couldn't help complaining: "Didn't the encyclopedia say that Jiao is a crocodile?
The black shadows around Jiao were all human heads and fish tails, covered with black scales, blue hair or green hair, each holding a harpoon in his hand. If it's not a shark, what is it?
"Don't panic. Xiao Shizhu ordered the sergeants who had already raised their muskets and aimed at these dark shadows.
The water here is not shallow, and if the sharks want to sneak up on them at night, they can dive to a depth that they can't see and swim quietly.
Revealing their whereabouts early shows that they have no malicious intent, at least for the time being.
After seeing those sharks swimming closer, they stopped, poked their heads out of the water, and looked up at Xiao Shizhu and the other spirits standing on the boat.
Several of the mermaids held the iron chains attached to the neck, and held the Jiao tightly, so that the Jiao also stopped on the sea a few feet away from the bow of the boat.
The merman at the head of the group had gray hair, and his face was full of wrinkles that had penetrated deep into the ravine, but he was one-eyed, and his left eye was empty, leaving only a hollow socket. In terms of coordination, the large and small scars on his chest are really a bit oozing to see at night.
Beside this merman, there were four strong mermen, each tall and muscular. But it's also on his body and hands, full of scars. They all seem to be battle-hardened warriors.
"Old friend. When Ying Zhao saw the gray-haired merman, he immediately raised his head and laughed excitedly, and then stopped laughing, and shouted: "Do you remember me? He involuntarily jumped into the sea, swam in front of the old merman who had opened his arms to him, and gave each other a strong hug.
Looking at this situation, this old merman is Quan Xian.
"Aren't you idle in Xudu? Why did you come to see the sea?" The old merman suddenly burst into tears, patted Yingzhao's back with both hands, and sobbed: "You, you, you have been here for so many years, and you don't come to see my brother!" Because of his excitement, his voice was shaking.
A magical scene happened in front of Xiao Shizhu's eyes, tears flowed down Quan Xian's single eye, and after crossing his face, he suddenly turned into a pearl with round and jade beads, emitting a little soft pearl, and fell into the sea.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of pearls had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and Xiao Shizhu shouted in his heart: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”。
The two demon spirits who had reunited after a long absence, were excited for a long time, and after the mood calmed down a little, Quan Xian raised his head, looked at Xiao Shizhu, and opened his mouth and involuntarily let out a "Huh?".
After looking at Xiao Shizhu for a long time, he suddenly frowned, and asked, "Hey little ghost, Lingzun Ling's noble surname?"
"Of course, the surname is Xiao. Xiao Shizhu smiled indifferently.
"What's the origin of this little ghost?" Then without waiting for him Xiao Shizhu to introduce himself, Quan Xian turned his head to Ying Zhao without saying anything, and the doubts between his eyebrows became heavier and heavier, completely ignoring Xiao Shizhu's existence.
"He is now my eldest brother, the son of God. Ying Zhao put his arm around his shoulders and said proudly: "I guess you also feel the divine power in his body, I am helping him do things now." ”。
"Hmm. Quan nodded his head and asked, "Wouldn't it be the son of Emperor Xudu?" Nervous, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"That old thing has no offspring. Ying Zhao patted his chest and assured Quanxian: "You don't know how suspicious he is, and he never dares to have offspring." Anyway, he also coexists with heaven and earth, and if he has a descendant, he will be worried all day long, for fear that his son will compete with him. ”。
"And my eldest brother was born on earth, and this is the first time he has come to the underworld. Ying Zhao added.
"Hmm. After all, the thousand-year-old brother should not lie to him, and Ying Zhao was still the guard of the ancient gods, and when he patrolled the four seas, he took care of him and his people, so he was no longer suspicious.
"Go and get the silk clothes. The suspicion between his eyebrows gradually faded Quan Xian suddenly respected Xiao Shizhu a little, and said in his mouth: "The sea is cold, and I also ask the son of God to go to the Dragon Silk Palace with me." ”。
