The song is distant and agile, and if you listen closely, it seems to be the sound of waves crashing against the reef, and the crisp cry of seabirds as they cross the sky......

Fan Wu and Mingyu stood in front of the door of the main hall, listening to the song soberly and intoxicated.

I was awake because I knew in my heart that this was the voice of some existence in the Dragon Palace, and my heart was vigilant and never relaxed.

To be intoxicated is to hear the simplicity, joy and loneliness in the song. Intoxicated by the emotions conveyed in those songs, it resonates with understanding.

Moreover, the song sounds familiar.

There was a faint shadow of the village chief in the palace, and Fan Wu said to Mingyu with some emotion:

"Say, who is this village chief?"

Mingyu whimpered and said he didn't know. Fan Wu settled down and walked to the palace. By this time, the singing had stopped.

The shoes landed on the steps of the palace, and the shiny floor clicked... Click... Click... sounds.

Stepping up the last step of the stairs, the empty hall has only four pillars supporting the dome at the four corners, and directly facing the temple door is a white jade statue with a fishtail with a human voice.

The village chief sat cross-legged in front of the stone statue, looking up at the mermaid statue, which was about two people tall, and humming the tune of the song Fan Wu had just heard.

Fan Wu's footsteps made the village chief pause, and then continued to hum, thinking that compared to the loneliness revealed in the gentleness in the previous tune, the current tune is happy and contains the warmth of the pulse.

Fan Wu sighed for this friendship while mourning for his incomplete talent.

It wasn't until the end of the song that Fan Wu stepped forward and asked the doubts in his heart from a distance of about ten meters:

"Who the hell are you?"

The village chief slowly lowered his tilted head, turned around, and looked at Fan Wu calmly.

Fan Wu was shocked when he saw the appearance of the village chief, and then looked closely at the clothes and hairstyle, but the hunchbacked old man who used to be old has become such a simple and simple young man, Fan Wu is still inevitably surprised.

"Who am I?" the young village chief smiled bitterly at Fan Wu's question, "One," the young village chief looked back at the mermaid stone statue affectionately, "It's just an infatuated lover." ”

Fan Wu looked at the mermaid stone statue, and the legend in the village and the full moon meeting flashed in his mind, and he realized something in his heart.

"Back then, I was just a teenager who went out to sea with my father to fish, and in that sunset, I only saw a corner of her fishtail when she entered the sea from afar, and I followed it for many years. ”

"The father and the villagers were swallowed by the waves and died, leaving only the old and young in the village, and the village chief and some of the elders decided to feed the sea with their bodies to seek the protection of the sea god. I don't agree with them, I don't believe that the sea god would need human life to please him. I had to go out to sea alone to find the source of the waves. ”

"In this process, Ling Lin secretly helped me many times, and I almost treated her as a monster who killed the villagers. ”

As he spoke, the young village chief looked up at the white jade statue, a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Together we found the monster that was churning up the waves, and with the help of Ling Lin, we killed it, the waves gradually disappeared, and the rising sea level gradually returned to its original state. I found the village chief and the elders, and quickly returned to the village under Ling Lin's spell. ”

"What awaits me is the cheers of the villagers, the admiration of the villagers, and the support of the village chief, but what awaits Ling Lin is loneliness. ”

"Until one thunderstorm night, Ling Lin suddenly appeared in front of my door, that embarrassed appearance startled me, I hurriedly pulled her into the house, helped her take care of it, wrapped it tightly in shabby clothes to keep warm. That day I learned that she had come to the beach every day to wait for me to go out to sea, but I had never seen her again. Her visit to the beach was gradually discovered by the tribesmen, and they sternly warned her not to come to the beach again, but the longing could not be stopped.

"Ling Lin also strengthened her belief in walking on land because of the attitude of the clansmen, Ling Lin, who turned into a human form, used a secret method, and her cultivation was not enough to live on the land as a human body, so she had to change back to her original form every night. We have been hiding well, and the villagers have gradually accepted Ling Lin, and together we rebuild our homes and search for the remains of my father and the villagers. Ling Lin helped a lot as a high-level water demon, and the villagers liked her more and more. ”

"But," the young village chief covered his face with his painful hands, closed his eyes, and seemed to be unable to bear what he was going to say next, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were already full of red threads, and tears were surging, "Ling Lin's clan manifested a miracle, saying that Ling Lin was a monster, at first the villagers didn't believe it, but since they had doubts, they naturally paid more attention, and as a result, they saw Ling Lin's true body. ”

When the young village chief said this, his voice was stable, and Fan Wu couldn't feel the ups and downs, but his body was a little cold, and the young village chief's attitude was obviously a manifestation of extreme hatred.

"When Ling Lin's clansmen lowered the 'divine punishment', all the villagers believed their nonsense and advised me not to disobey the will of the sea god. ”

The young village chief's voice was indifferent, "They didn't show their faces, so they took Ling Lin away with the 'help' of the villagers." The elders who watched me grow up sent Ling Lin into the deep sea like that, ignoring my feelings. ”

"Later, I went out to sea to look for it, but to no avail. ”

"Until I found a palm-sized scale on the beach, the color was clearly from Ling Lin's body. I was worried, and in a panic, I hastily prepared things and went out to sea. ”

The young village chief smiled sadly, "What awaits me is the punishment of Ling Lin, it is to see Ling Lin turned into a stone statue and sealed in the cliff of the sea. ”

"That's what they deliberately asked me to see, just to make me die, my heart did die at that moment, but the obsession to find Ling Lin has never weakened. ”

"I went back to the village and killed the guys who sent Ling Lin to the deep sea, and at that time, I found that I still had the ability to imprison and enslave their souls, so I killed them all and made them live the way I wanted in my mind as punishment. ”

"Who told them to break up me and Ling Lin without asking?" At this time, there was still a matter of course in the village chief's indifferent expression, as if this matter should have been handled like this.

Fan Wu didn't say anything, quietly listened to the village chief's story, and did not make any comments on the village chief's behavior.

However, Fan Wu had doubts about the source of the village chief's power, how could a mortal possess the ability to serve souls in the process of killing people?

"Isn't it enough for me to punish them like this?"

Fan Wu didn't expect the young village chief to suddenly ask this question, and then watched the clarity in his eyes gradually disappear before he realized that he gradually lost his consciousness in the process of telling, "There is nothing black and white in this world, and naturally there is no boundary to describe whether the punishment is enough or not, it just lies in the heart." ”

Saying "in one heart", Fan Wu suddenly had a deeper understanding of the meaning of what Master Shi Yue said about cultivating immortals.
