Luhua said, "I wanted to see her." I want to sneak in to see her. I told myself that I would just look at her, quietly, without alarming anyone or letting her find out. Just at a glance...... But...... But I know that when I see her, I must be reluctant to let go, and I will definitely want to snatch her back. I don't want to disturb her happiness. As long as she's well...... She's fine......"

"A twisted melon is not sweet after all......"

"I'm not going to see her again...... I'll just let her go......"

You let her go, but who will let you go?

In fact, Li Jingyi wanted to say this, but he also knew that what he said was tantamount to making up for Luhua's broken heart.

He chose to remain silent, or to be sad with him.

Sometimes, a true friend may not need the comfort of those powerless words, but just need to listen and accompany them silently.

For there are some words, no matter how sincere you may be, but if they do not solve the actual problem, then those comforts are doomed to be pale and thin.

Listening is the best comfort.

Li Jingyi has always felt that Luhua is not an ordinary person, and this was confirmed after an incident.

On a rainy night, the sound of fighting came from Luhua's yard. After Li Jingyi was woken up, he thought that his house had been robbed, so he hurriedly took a sword and rushed in to help without thinking.

He was a scholar and now a businessman. No matter what the status, there is no power to tie the chicken. But for the sake of his confidant, he did not hesitate to save him, even if he fought for his life.

The death of a confidant is probably so.

But when he rushed into the courtyard, the fighting stopped abruptly.

Li Jingyi looked at everything in front of her, and sat on the ground with her legs limp and paralyzed.

In the pouring rain, Lu Hua stood there silently with a long sword in his hand. There were several corpses lying on the ground.

Although she couldn't see clearly in the night, Li Jingyi felt that the water on the ground must be red. Blood and rain, and the strong smell of blood.

But that's not the most shocking thing to him. What surprised him the most was that he had only seen it in books, but he had never seen it before—that is, the merman he later learned from Luhua's mouth.

The corpse on the ground, the upper body is a human being, and the lower body is a fishtail. When Lee Kyung-yi first saw them, she thought they were monsters.

"They all come back to their original bodies after they die. Lu Hua said with a calm expression, "There are not a few cultivators of the Shark Clan, and their cultivation is not low, so it is not difficult to transform into a human body." ”

"Jingyi, this is the last thing I hide from you. I didn't want to tell you for the rest of my life, but in this way, you can be safe and sound for the rest of your life. But today you are still here, risking your life, to save me. I feel like it's an honor to have a confidant like you. Besides, the time of parting has come, and I should tell you everything. There was a sincere smile in Luhua's expression.

"Are you also a merman?" asked Li Jingyi. He had no fear and no escape.

Lu Hua was a little surprised at first, as if he didn't expect him to guess this step, but then smiled, "Not bad." You've always been smart. ”

"It's not hard to guess. You gave me so many pearls. It's been more than ten years, and I'm no longer young, but you haven't changed at all. There are immortal cultivators you know, but it was the merman who assassinated you. You always inadvertently say 'you mortal', 'you mortal', I know that you are not destined to be an ordinary person. Li Jingyi looked at him as before, without the slightest look of fear.

"Are you afraid of me?" Luhua asked.

Li Jingyi shook her head with a smile, "Don't be afraid, you won't hurt me." ”

"Jingyi, in the floating world, there will always be a farewell. Before I leave, I have something to tell you. Luhua handed him a piece of colorful scales, "This thing should be a token of your friendship with me for more than ten years, if you come to the South China Sea to find me, I will definitely welcome you with the people of the South China Sea." If there is no goodbye fate, this thing should be a thought. ”

Li Jingyi took the scales and put them away carefully.

"You still have a catastrophe in this life, but you can avoid it by breaking your wealth. As long as you are willing to let go of what is outside of you, you can enjoy the rest of your life in peace. ”

"In our merman clan, there is a kind of punishment that is specifically for those who commit the following unforgivable crimes. The merman who made a mistake should extract the fat from his body and make it into a long lamp, which was sacrificed to the god of the sea. Luhua said.

He dragged the corpses of the mermaids in the courtyard to the room, extracted the oil from their bodies, made eighteen everlasting lanterns, and handed them to Li Jingyi.

"Cannibalism is cruel, isn't it? But what about mortals? Cannibalism happens everywhere. Compared to the inhuman torture of the mortal world, I think our punishment is much lighter. Luhua smiled sarcastically when he said this, his tone was light and light, this is indeed what he looks like on a daily basis, but it doesn't look like him.

"The lantern made of mermaid oil will last for 10,000 years, and when you are poor, you can sell it to survive the difficulties. This lamp is priceless and can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing in this life. But I don't want you to leak this to anyone else. I know you're good-natured and wouldn't do such a cruel thing. But it is difficult to guarantee that those who have a heart will not slaughter my people for their own selfish gain. So ......"

"Don't worry, I won't do that. You trust me. Li Jingyi was not only afraid, but also determined.

Luhua is really gone, and Li Jingyi is sad for a long time. But he knows that everyone has their own path to follow. He chose to bless Luhua.

He didn't forget Luhua's words, and as for the catastrophe, it came as scheduled.

Li Jingyi became richer and richer, becoming the richest man in the local area, but was targeted by bandits. At night, the Li family was attacked by the bandits, Li Jingyi calmly coped, in order to protect his wife and children, he handed over all the property to the bandits, leaving only the ever-bright lantern in Luhua's house.

Indeed, as Luhua said, it is necessary to avoid disasters by breaking the fortune. He lost his belongings, but his family was safe. Thinking about this, I am also very calm.

Especially if a person encounters a person similar to an immortal in his life, it seems that his own pattern has also been magnified a lot, and many things will be seen through.

Therefore, although he is now poor, he is not greedy, and only sells a few ever-bright lamps to make enough money to make ends meet, so he uses the remaining money to open a lamp shop and do a small business. This is also in view of the previous lesson, the tree is a big move, rather than having a lot of money but being remembered by thieves, it is better to be plain and bland, and it is enough to eat and drink.

Later, the children became a family, and his wife died of a serious illness, and he had no worries at this time.

But whenever he looks to the south, he can always think of the sentence in the book, "There are mermaids outside the South China Sea, who live in water like fish, and do not waste their weaving achievements." His eyes weep and they can produce pearls. ”

He thought of his confidant in this life, the always chic and hearty Luhua, who smiled very wantonly.

Li Jingyi looked at the scales in his hand, "Go to the South China Sea to find him, if I can see him, I really have no regrets in my life." ”

"It's a pity that the world makes people. Originally, I had already arranged everything at home and was ready to leave for the South China Sea, but my son was thrown into prison for offending the powerful. Taishou said that as long as he could come up with a ransom of 50,000 taels, he could keep him safe and sound and release him from the country. Although I am a businessman, but now I am only a small business, where can I get so much money......? had to sell the remaining lanterns at a high price in exchange for money. ”

As a result, there is an event where a lantern is worth 50,000 taels.

Hearing this, Chaosheng also understood. These lanterns were made more than a decade ago, and don't seem to have anything to do with the recently disappeared nobles of the merman clan.

"Luhua is not a mortal, you are not afraid, this seat is not a mortal, but you are afraid. Chao Sheng glanced at Li Jingyi, quite puzzled by his behavior.

"Because...... Because I know he's not going to hurt me. Li Jingyi said in panic.

"Except for those man-eating youkai, no one will be idle to hurt a mortal. You can rest assured. "Hara Yu said.

Li Jingyi didn't look like the two of them would kill at will, so she was not so afraid, he said, "Actually, I have lived a chic and comfortable life in my life, and I don't have anything to worry about now." The only thing I wanted in my heart was to see my old friend again, so I cherished this life. ”

Yuan Xi had never had any friends before, and he didn't understand his emotions very well. But being able to do this shows that the friendship between them is deep.

Merely......

"Even if it's to raise money, 50,000 taels per lamp is really expensive. "How can you be sure that someone will pay a lot of money for it?"

It was because it could not be guaranteed that this gimmick of returning yang and saving life was introduced. As soon as I heard that it was a sacred object that brought people back to life, some people naturally bought it. You must know that even if there are thousands of family properties in this world, you can't sell a life back. Li Jingyi also had no scruples and said bluntly.

Chao Sheng sat lazily, looking at this mortal who had done his duty all his life, and now raised the price of a lamp so high, which seemed to be a little contradictory, but it also made people feel ironic and sad.

Of course, Chaosheng knew that it was sad, but she couldn't empathize. There are too many sufferings in the world, and she is not a loving and kind person, let alone a savior.

"Since it's to raise money, 50,000 taels should be enough, do you plan to sell all the ever-bright lanterns?" Yuan Xi didn't think that Li Jingyi was a greedy person.

"I only sold one to Chen Yuanwai, and two days later he sent the money, and I rescued my son from prison and left for the South China Sea. As for the rest of the lanterns, I'm not going to sell them all. I just have enough money to go to the South China Sea. Li Jingyi said.

Chao Sheng seemed to have caught something, she stared at the everlasting lamp and asked, "The one that went out to sell to Chen Yuanwai and the one you sold before, how many everlasting lanterns are left?"

"Twelve. Li Jingyi replied truthfully.

This number...... No wonder. Chaosheng now knows everything, so he naturally doesn't bother to deal with him anymore.

Yuan Yu still had doubts: "You mean that the lamp has been sent to that Chen Yuanwai, but he hasn't given the money yet? Why, this Chen Yuanwai is so rich, can he actually pay on credit?"

There was no smile on his face, but his tone was meaningful, so that people didn't think it was a joke.

Although Li Jingyi couldn't understand what he meant, she also replied truthfully, "It's about resurrection from the dead, and the deal will only be completed when people come back to life." ”

Isn't it just a deceptive gimmick?
