In the dimly lit alleys of Minghai City, faint waves of water flowed between the narrow stone walls, barely imperceptible to the naked eye. But how cultivated is Lu Yang? He knew that this monster had already sensed being followed, so he wanted to introduce Lu Yang here. But its realm is too low, but it can't see that Lu Yang is far from being its opponent, it snoops in the dark corner, just waiting for Lu Yang to step into the trap, then control the water flow into a sharp blade, penetrating Lu Yang's body.

But Lu Yang's words surprised it greatly. Still didn't believe that this man had seen through what it was going to do, and he was still manipulating the current and attacking Lu Yang's back. But Lu Yang smiled helplessly, but seeing that the water column flying out between the two walls had not yet reached Lu Yang's body, it was instantly evaporated by an extremely hot temperature, Lu Yang spread out his palm and showed an innocent smile towards it that was hidden in the shadows.

"Tell me, what are you doing in Minghai City. If you're trying to hurt people here, then I'm going to take care of it. Lu Yang slowly walked towards its hiding place, but the invisible pressure had already locked the monster's body, and it was shocked to find that it couldn't move. A little breath was enough to suppress it, and it had to give up resistance.

But when Lu Yang saw its true appearance, he couldn't help but be taken aback. He often heard that there were sharks in the South China Sea, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. Now I see that the upper body of this woman is human, and the lower body has no legs, but a golden fishtail. There are waves of water that shelter under its tails. It was the appearance of the merman he had known in ancient books. Therefore, wherever it goes, it can leave a wisp of moisture.

However, as far as Lu Yang knows, this merman clan is not a demon, but a unique creature in this world. At present, the merman race in the world is scarce and extinct, just because the merman does not have a long lifespan, they are born with a beautiful fish tail, so the merman has never been far from the sea. The sea shelters their fragile lives.

"Immortal! Zhen'er is definitely not here to hurt people, but actually to see my father-in-law. Ask the fairy to spare Zhen'er's life!" The merman's woman's name was Zhen'er, her eyes were full of tears at this time, and she only begged Lu Yang to spare her life and let her do what she had to do.

"Just call me Lu Yang. I don't know if you have any kindness in Minghai City, but this is a human settlement, and if you are recognized by others, then you will inevitably suffer bad luck. You might as well swim back to the sea. ”

Lu Yang saw that the merman was sincere, not only did he not bear to kill her, but also intended to let her go back. Because he knows that the merman never hurts people, but the shark is rare to see, and it also has a great relationship with humans.

Because the mermaids are a strange race. If you hunt and kill mermaids, take their grease to make lamps and candles to keep them bright for thousands of years. Therefore, in ancient times, successive emperors gave orders to strangle the merman. The poor merman's life is short, and his cultivation is not strong, and it is difficult to resist the murderous humans. Therefore, the current king of the Purple Golden Shark has moved his people to a secret place in the South China Sea, waiting for this broken bloodline not to be extinct.

"Engong and I have the grace to save my life, even if Zhen'er gives up this life, I want to see him!"

But she gritted her teeth and said resolutely. He was about to be beheaded for public display, and if she couldn't save him alive, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life. Although Zhen'er is a merman, she was born with the same feelings as humans. Lu Yang saw that his persuasion was fruitless, so he could only say: "Who is your kind father? How did he save your life? If you tell me, maybe I can help you meet him." ”

Zhen'er was overjoyed, and immediately held the beautiful golden fishtail and fell to the ground in favor of Lu Yang. At this time, in the dark alley, there is no other side. She told Lu Yang the story of her and the human benefactor. Although she didn't know how that Engong was imprisoned, after coming to Minghai City all the way, she asked around, but she also knew a lot of information.

It turned out that the true identity of this benevolent prince was a fisherman surnamed Li who had lived here for generations in Minghai City. This fisherman is extraordinary, his ancestors have spent generations wandering in the vast South China Sea to earn a living. By his lifetime, it had been passed down for ten generations.

Li Yufu was twenty-five years old at this time, which was the time when he was young and vigorous. The ancestors handed down the method of holding breath and dividing water, which can be dormant into the sea, and there is no need to ventilate for three days and three nights. There is also a black and gold double-strand fork, which is very sharp and good at subduing all kinds of whale salamanders underwater. It can be said that he is the first fisherman with means in Minghai City.

When Fujian was too new, he wanted to offer Chang'an with a hundred pearls of the South China Sea to please His Majesty the Son of Heaven. In the sea area under his jurisdiction, it has been rumored since ancient times that there is a pearl born from the shell of an old mussel on the bottom of the sea, its luster is crystal clear, and the magic is extraordinary, enough to compete with the bright moon on the horizon. It is a rare wonder in the world. But the South China Sea is unpredictable, whether it is giant cancer and shrimp, and the fish that swallows the boat are all dominating the deep sea. Idlers have no means to penetrate into the depths of the South China Sea and make offerings for Taishou to take pearls.

After thinking about it, Taishou suddenly thought of the ability of this Li fisherman, and immediately called the skilled craftsman to make a jade plaque with Lantian jade, engraved with the words 'turning waves and leaping waves', symbolizing the meaning of turning waves and leaping waves. Then summon Li Fisherman to come and give this treasure to the fisherman for personal treasure. to table capabilities. However, Li Yufu learned that Taishou wanted to make him sneak into the South China Sea to seek the pearl. The intention of the prevarication was immediately indicated.

It's just because he knows very well that this greed is endless. If he can retrieve the pearl in the sea, then it will definitely cause a sensation in the world. There are some things that are more reasonable to hide in the depths of the light of day than to take them.

But Taishou was anxious to enter the treasure to the Son of Heaven, and when he saw that Li Yufu refused to go to sea under orders, he was immediately furious. The drinker dragged Li Yufu out and beat him to death. Li Yufu couldn't bear it, so he had to obey the Taishou. When the life and death were made in front of Taishou, within ten days, Li Yufu must send 100 pearls of the South China Sea back to Taishou. Otherwise, he will be condemned and punished.

According to the ancient precepts, Li Yufu went to the temple to worship Mazu before going to sea. Mazu is a sea goddess in the southeast coastal region since ancient times, and she will protect her children and grandchildren who go to sea to have a good journey. The Li fisherman family has worshiped Mazu for generations. He is fundamentally the same as those hard-working and simple old boat people. To worship Mazu before going to sea is not to forget the ancestors and the roots.

After worshipping Mazu, Li Yufu chose an auspicious time to go to sea. But why is it 'peng' instead of 'sail'? It is only because the ancients revered heaven and earth, and never mentioned homophonic words such as 'turning', 'sinking', and 'covering' on the sea. In particular, the word "sail" is the same as "sail", so it is called "Peng", which means vigorous growth.

When he went out to sea, Li Fisherman was bare-chested, with a hitch around his waist, and wore fish scale water splitting boots, and threw the black and gold double-strand fork handed down from his ancestors in the cabin for self-defense. He was a man of ability, and it was as easy for him to cross the ocean as a leisurely stroll.

But this time, in order to obtain the pearl in the sea, Taishou only gave a ten-day deadline, so he was a little anxious, and did not calculate the weather during the voyage in advance. But seeing that the dark tide in the sea was turbulent, and the clouds in the sky were thick, the heavy rain was pouring down at all times, but the clouds always held back the rain and only piled up in the sky. At night, there is no bright moonlight, and the sea and the sky are all pitch black, but you can't see the shadows under the water.

The pearl produced in the South China Sea has always been bright by the moon, and only when the moonlight is in full bloom, can you see that there is a bright light floating in the deep sea. Li Yufu's luck does not seem to be good, and for three days he has been driving away from the coastal area and alone in the vast sea. But there was no glimmer of light under the seabed. This situation is even more because the black clouds obscure the bright moon, and there is no moonlight shining through the waves to the depths. Those giant mussels that lie dormant in the depths of the sea will not easily open their shells and swallow pearls.

But on the fourth day, Li Yufu was awakened by a melodious singing, and when he jumped up to look, he saw that in the middle of the night, the waves had pushed him to a distant land. Thousands of moss-covered reefs rise above the sea level, and although these reefs only rise a few feet above the water, the foundations below are hundreds of feet deep under the sea.

Maybe it's the change of landform, the vicissitudes of the sea. In the distant past, it may have been a mountainous area, but due to a great catastrophe, the mountains and rivers were submerged by the sea. But Li Fisherman traced the source of the song, and saw that in the middle of a towering reef in the distance, there was a beautiful maiden who was bathing in the sunlight that covered the sea and sang loudly.

Her singing voice is empty and moving, as refreshing as fine wine. However, what surprised Li Yufu even more was that under the girl's waist, there were no legs, but a fishtail full of brilliant golden scales. She slapped the sea below the reef with her fishtail, giving birth to white sprays. And she sang and sang, but she couldn't help but be attracted by the strange humans who listened attentively.

The golden fishtail shows an extraordinary luxury. She was originally the princess of the merman clan, and in the depths of this sea area, there is a dark and cold abyss, which is the current habitat of the merman clan, the Tianshui realm.

But in the realm of heaven and water, there is only the empty and cold sea water, and the molten fire that makes the sharks shiver underground. The sky, for the shark people who have lived in the deep sea for a long time, is a place that they have never been to in their lives. It is their fate after they die. At the end of their short lifespan, they will turn into blisters and fly out of the deep sea, soaring into the sky. Finally annihilated in the endless canopy.

But she yearns for the beautiful sky outside the deep sea day after day. The mermaids were hunted down by humans and forced to live under the sea where they could not see their fingers. Therefore, they have always strictly forbidden their clansmen to leave the Tianshui Realm without permission. She took advantage of the King of the Purple Gold Shark to run out quietly without paying attention. Sure enough, the sky in front of me was blue and far away, and the sea was endless. She was open-minded and couldn't help but let out a moving song.

What a wonderful life it would be to be like this, looking at the sky and singing, and falling asleep with the setting sun in the west! She thought in her reverie, but saw a human man, who was on the side of the reef, listening to her singing with a look of intoxication.
