Chapter 155
"The black-scaled shark is a big villain, he can sing and call me away, and I will never find my father and mother again!" Da Zhuang sat in Granny Wang's arms and said with a sob.
"You still know, hurry up and follow your father back, don't make trouble again, do you hear!" Granny Wang handed Da Zhuang to his son, carried him home, and she had to stay and wipe the dust in the ancestral hall.
When they were far away, they turned to Mo Ghost and said, "These are all legends from us, used to scare children." ”
"But aren't mermaids and mermaids both monsters with human bodies and fishtails, is there any difference? Why is there a mermaid statue enshrined in the ancestral hall, but the village says this about mermaids?" asked Mo Ghost suspiciously.
She didn't know much about merfolk and mermaids, and it should be said that the entire continent didn't know much.
The mermaid is a very high-level type of demon beast, which can be compared with the dragon and phoenix, the four great divine beasts, and other demon beasts, which only exist in legends and have never appeared in the entire Xuanling world. Judging from the information of the sect and the family, it may be because the level of the Xuan Spirit Realm is not high, and neither the restrictions of the aura nor the Heavenly Dao allow them to survive here.
Everyone has a little understanding of these monsters, there are countless legends about this kind of monsters, and there are many portraits circulating, and the news that Gaine passed down from the upper realm has gradually evolved into what it is now.
"Eh, you can't say that, this is far from it!, how can the mermaid be compared to the mermaid Niangniang!" Granny Wang glanced at her, her eyes were full of blame, and she clasped her hands together at the mermaid statue, "Niangniang is not strange, Miss Mo just came here, and she has no intention of offending." ”
After Granny Wang finished speaking, she pulled Mo Ghost out, still telling her, "You can't say that in the future, you know?"
"Mother-in-law, you tell me about it, and it will save me from offending again. Mo Ghost followed her out of the ancestral hall and grabbed her arm.
"Yes, then I'll talk to you," Granny Wang thought about it, Mo Ghost still has to help arrange the formation after that, what if she violates a taboo? Not to mention that she has been in the village for so long, and she is not an outsider, "This mermaid Niangniang is the patron saint of our Crescent Bay, bless the villagers here for generations." ”
"Guardian Spirit?" Mo Ghost was slightly puzzled, "Is it a guardian spirit beast?"
In many places on the mainland, demon beasts are worshiped by local monks with incense, and they will silently guard them, gradually becoming local guardian spirit beasts.
"Yes, yes, it's the same," Granny Wang nodded, "We mermaid Niangniang, kind-hearted, like a fairy, with a human body and a fishtail, lives in the sea from the unnamed sea to the crescent moon bay, quietly guarding us." ”
"What kind of legend is this? Why have you never heard of it?" Mo Ghost's doubts were even greater, if there were really human beings in this realm, I am afraid that the monks of the major sects would not be able to sit still.
"It's not a legend, it's true, it's passed down from mouth to mouth in Crescent Bay, and our ancestors have seen it! Granny Wang lightly slapped her wrist, "But it's no wonder you don't believe it, we haven't seen a mermaid for many years." ”
Granny Wang said to herself and sighed, "But it's okay like this, outsiders from the province come to disturb the mermaid Niangniang, I think you are a good boy, that's what I said, you can't talk nonsense when you go out!"
"Don't worry, I promise not to say anything," Mo Ghost put his finger to his lips.
"I, I can trust you, someone has been here before, but they haven't said it, Miss Mo, you are a good person at first glance, and it is impossible to say it!" Granny Wang smiled again, but when she was about to go forward, she stopped her.
"Did anyone know about this legend before, but it never got out?"
"Yes!" Granny Wang nodded, "At first, a monk accidentally discovered it, and promised not to talk nonsense, but there have really been no rumors for many years. ”
Mo Ghost raised his eyebrows, although there are many principled monks like her in the immortal cultivation world, it is absolutely impossible to meet everyone like this, after all, not everyone is a little white rabbit like Zhen Hao Qin Yifan, but there has been no news about this place outside for so many years, it is too strange, right?
"Miss Mo, what's wrong with you?" Granny Wang shook her hand in front of her eyes.
"Oh, it's nothing," Mo Ghost came back to his senses and let go of this question, "Mother-in-law, you haven't told me what the Black Scaled Shark is!"
As soon as she mentioned this, Granny Wang's face was disgusted, "This black-scaled mermaid is just the opposite, with an evil mind and an ugly appearance, but he has a good voice, singing and seducing monks in the sea, once he is lured over, he will never come back!"
"Huh?" it was the first time Mo had heard of such a statement.
"What I said is true, this mermaid, not only has a beautiful voice, but can also transform into a monk who walks upright on both legs, and harms the monks of the past!" Granny Wang leaned over, as if telling her a secret, and whispered, "Pity us mermaid Niangniang, who can't make a sound, has no legs, and is silently guarding the sea." ”
Mo Ghost bit his lip, "You mean that the merman has an ugly face and a beautiful voice, and can conjure up legs to walk on the shore?"
"That's right, if you're out on the sea, you'll have to be careful. ”
"Mother-in-law, can I ask you again, how did the people of Crescent Bay determine that the guardian spirit beast is a mermaid and not a merman?"
"The tears of this mermaid will turn into a pearl of the night, and there is one in our ancestral hall, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and the tears of the mermaid turned into pearls, which is different. ”
Granny Wang was still chattering, but Mo Ghost's mind was no longer here.
"Alright, I'm home, you can go back quickly. Unconsciously walked to the door of her house, Granny Wang stopped, and a little white came out of the yard, I don't know when she came over.
"Mother-in-law, go back and have a good rest. Mo Ghost picked up Xiaobai, touched its belly and bulged again.
"What's wrong with you? On the way back, Xiaobai shared with her what he had eaten, but Mo Ghost didn't care about it at all, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"No, let's go back. ”
Mo Ghost thought about what Granny Wang said many times, and there was a trace of doubt in her heart, but in the end, she swallowed this question, she only believed what she saw.
"Sister Fairy, what are we going to eat today!"
As soon as she returned to the bamboo house, Xiaobai jumped down and ran to the kitchen to find Jiaojiao, and when she smelled the fragrance, she knew that she had made something delicious again. Although fairies are vegetarians, eating too much spirit animal meat and eating vegetarian food once in a while is also particularly delicious.
"Don't eat too much at night, just boil some spiritual rice porridge. Jiaojiao had a familiar smile on her face, and she couldn't see the gaffe in the afternoon.
"The porridge is good, the fairy cooks the most fragrant!" Xiao Bai took the pot in his hand diligently.
"You be careful!" As soon as Mo Ghost approached, he saw a pot bigger than himself on its head, and it jumped into the yard, and it was terrified to see it, for fear that one would accidentally fall.
"Don't underestimate the fox, okay?" Xiaobai walked like a fly, and soon arrived at the table safely.
Seeing that nothing happened to it, Mo Ghost turned his head, just in time to bump into Jiaojiao who had just come out, and the two of them glanced at each other, as if they both understood something, and smiled at each other.
"Let's go out and eat. Jiaojiao held a few side dishes in her hand.
"Okay. "Mo Ghost took some of it and went out with her.
······
During this month, the villagers of Crescent Bay were extremely enthusiastic, and as soon as they had leisure time, they went up the mountain to look for herbs, and the nearby peaks were almost all over, and dozens of herbs were found to restore their divine sense.
Mo Ghost drank a bowl, as bitter as ever, and he had been drinking it for nearly two months, and his mouth was full of this taste after the aftertaste.
"I've regained my senses, so I don't have to drink anymore, right?"
"It doesn't hurt to drink more, there are a few left, and it's a waste to throw them away. Jiaojiao came out of the kitchen and handed her a bowl of water.
"Hey, can we set up the formation?"
Before I saw anyone come in, I heard Granny Wang's shouting. This month's contact directly called the name of Mo Ghost.
"Yes, I'll go now. Mo Ghost stood up and looked out the door.
"Come with me, the mermaid statue has finally been gilded, and now it looks magnificent, just waiting for you to arrange the formation!" Granny Wang walked in a few steps, her steps were brisk, and she didn't look like a person in her sixties at all.
Mo Ghost's divine sense had recovered a few days ago, and it had increased by about one-fifth, plus the acacia fruit he had eaten before, it was stronger than that of an ordinary mid-stage cultivator.
"Has the platform under the mermaid statue been built?"
I was able to arrange the formation as early as a few days ago, but someone suddenly found that the paint had fallen off on the platform under the mermaid statue, and it took a few days to repaint it.
"It's built, and this time it's guaranteed that there will be no problems!"
"Then let's go. Mo Ghost followed her outside, and did not call Jiaojiao, and Granny Wang didn't pay attention because she was too excited.
Soon the two arrived at the Mermaid Temple, where many villagers had gathered and watched outside.
Mo Ghost saluted all the way over, came to the mermaid statue, and began to set up the formation.
If the formation wants to be undamaged for a hundred years, it must have a spiritual object with enough aura to make the formation eye, just like the invalid beauty grass she picked up when she first came into contact with the formation in the forest outside Mo City. She had thought about it before she came, and decided to use the spirit crystal.
She had just gotten a few pieces in the Qingzhou Secret Realm before, and the spirit crystal contained pure aura, and she used it to arrange it, at least for a hundred years.
There have not been many changes in the formation, and the layout here has been followed before, one killing formation and one trapping formation. The mermaid statue is only of great significance to the villagers of Crescent Bay, and generally no one will come over to deliberately destroy it, and some of them are too complicated and unnecessary.
When setting up the formation, she didn't forget to change the conditions for triggering the killing array to spiritual power, and finally buried the spirit crystal in the eye of the array.
"That's good?" Granny Wang asked uncomfortably when she saw her coming out quickly.
"Alright. Mo Ghost nodded, this kind of small formation doesn't take long, the only thing worth being careful about is to release the spirit crystal.
It wasn't until she left that the villagers who stayed there began to whisper.
"What kind of cultivation is this Mo girl?"
"I don't know, it's better than us anyway. ”
"When I see other monks in formation, they all take one step at a time, and sometimes they have to start all over again, why is she so relaxed?"
"It must be a high level of cultivation!"
"Wouldn't it be a fake?"
"Why don't you try it?"
"Zhao Laosan, seeing that you don't have a good heart, why don't you try it?"
