Chapter 13: The Merman

"Is it really so powerful?" Shen Fei frowned, "How did I hear that the old emperor pursued a national policy of recuperation." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I heard, hehe, this is also where he is clever, think about the time when the Rakshasa Holy City collapsed, that is when Tuoba Gui, the dog emperor, just sat on the throne of the emperor, and he couldn't wait to launch the first large-scale war with foreign countries, what kind of person do you think he is. ”

"Rumors are just rumors. Shen Fei felt helpless, and finally understood what Shen Teng meant, "Because the outside world has no power that can threaten the human country, do you want to bring it down from the inside?" ”

"Not bad. When Tuoba Gui was in power, the empire was naturally monolithic, and as soon as Tuoba Gui died, the forces of the kings restrained each other, and the empire could easily fall into civil strife, and our opportunity lies here. ”

"Okay, what an unexpected meeting, Shen Teng, because of your presence, it seems that my plans are about to change. ”

"I'm just taking you to get to know a real human country. ”

Shen Tengyi was talking righteously, and suddenly found that Shen Fei's eyes were attracted by something, and then he looked over, and saw a little merman who was fixed on the board was being whipped with a sharp whip, and his tears turned into pearls when he touched the air.

Said: "Sharks are the most precious and rare of all the demon races, the tears left by them when they cry can be turned into pearls, the eyes are blind from crying, and the tail is cut off, and humans can gain the ability to dive, and some lucky sharks are lucky enough not to cry before they reach adulthood, and after being cut off the tail of a fish, they can even grow exactly the same legs as humans, at this time, they will be sent to the courtyard of the princes and nobles for them to ravage and enjoy." Sharks are naturally neutral creatures, handsome in appearance and weak in character, and the princes and nobles are particularly fond of them, and they can even be said to be in love. ”

Seeing that the anger on Shen Fei's body surged again, Shen Teng hugged him from behind to prevent him from making impulsive moves, "My brother, no matter what you see or hear here, you must always remember one word - forbearance! The so-called forbearance is a knife on the head of the heart word, which may be very painful, but people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, and only when they bow their heads and bend their waists, one day, can they be masters." ”

Under his suppression, Shen Fei's anger calmed down and turned into deep sadness, he walked straight over, watching the merman who was shackled and fixed on the board up close, watching his blue hair like the sea water smooth and supple no matter what kind of torture he went through, watching his childish face covered with blood and dirty, watching it maintain its innate elegance even when crying, watching it bite its lip strongly, watching it stare innocently at itself, watching him suffer because of the original sin he was born with。

Angry, completely angry, Shen Fei clenched his fists and swung his palm.

"Brush!" The palm was pushed straight out, crashing into the butcher who was moving the whip, and at the last moment, it was blocked by Shen Teng with a solid back, as if hitting the hardest granite, Shen Teng turned his back to Shen Fei, smiled when the butcher looked at him suspiciously, and then pulled the butcher aside and spoke in an incomprehensible language.

"Remember Shen Fei, don't touch that merman child, don't touch it, believe me. Shen Teng pulled the butcher down and began to talk.

Shen Fei punched the other party in the back, quite sorry, but he still felt waves of anger uncontrollably erupted, obviously he was just a child, obviously he didn't commit any sins, just because he was a demon clan, he was tortured so cruelly, is this fair? Is the Taoist Sect's long-standing insistence on following the heavens and acting for the heavens correct. Because of the existence of this doctrine, all the demon clans should be beaten to death with a stick and regarded as the object of cruel persecution, correspondingly, is my Rakshasa clan also a demon clan, should they be born to suffer such humiliation and torture.

Staring at the little merman's tearful eyes, Shen Fei was full of pain: "The world shouldn't be like this, the demon clan is a thinking species, and they shouldn't be treated as livestock such as chickens, ducks, and fish." ”

Shen Fei stretched out his hand again, wanting to untie the shackles on the little merman's body, but was stopped by Shen Teng again, Shen Teng grabbed Shen Fei's wrist with one hand, the force was so great that he could easily stop Shen Fei from making any movements, and then said to him: "Don't touch it, I have already negotiated with the butcher, this little merman will be taken away by the eldest prince." ”

"Taken away by the Great Prince?" Shen Fei couldn't understand.

"As I told you earlier, I come here a lot of time, and maybe I can save the lives of one or two of my companions. ”

"Is it really possible?" Shen Fei was overjoyed, as if he had seen the sun through the clouds.

"The Dog Emperor Tuoba Gui stipulated that each prince could keep three to five goblins as pets, and when I was with the prince, I often introduced the differences between goblins and humans to the eldest prince, and showed him how to submit goblins as slaves, and over time, he became particularly fond of goblin pets. For this reason, he asked his father to expand the number of goblins raised in the yard to ten, which was already the limit, and the old emperor finally agreed to this request at the behest of the empress.

Among all the demon clans, the tenth prince his favorite is the merman, obedient and docile, if you raise it since childhood, it is the best ** when you grow up, as long as you don't make it cry, you will never have to worry about aging and death, you can always keep it in captivity. Shen Teng explained to Shen Fei in a whisper, even if the people around him couldn't understand the language circulating in Kyushu, they were cautious, for fear that the wall would have ears.

Shen Fei said with some surprise: "So, the Rakshasa kid I met just now has also been saved?"

"Only the Rakshasas can't. Shen Teng spread his hands helplessly, "Although I also regret it, but the Rakshasa clan, as a brave and warlike nation, is really too difficult to control when the mood is excited, so the old emperor does not allow the Rakshasa clan to be kept in captivity as pets." ”

"Damn, what the hell am I thinking, keeping demons in captivity as pets, even if this kind of extremely insulting thing is done, what can I do, it's not the most humiliating way to live. ”

"There's no way, now that the human kingdom is powerful, and all the other major sects are suppressing the demon clan, we can only be tired of parrying and barely surviving. ”

Shen Fei's eyes were cold, and he asked aggressively: "Shen Teng, you answer me honestly, for such a long time, no one has discovered your true identity?"

Shen Teng replied: "Before returning to the human kingdom, I deliberately exercised for a long time, even if I was on the verge of life and death, as long as it was not intentional, the fiery red eyes representing my clan identity would not appear." ”

"If you don't have fiery red eyes, what are you called the Rakshasa clan. ”

"What can you do in order to live like this, it is good to save one more innocent life, to be kept as a pet, it is much better than to be used as a fertility and breeding machine, or to die early and be deprived of organs, one day, our demon clan will launch a counterattack, join us, brother. ”

"Hey. Shen Fei still didn't respond to him positively, because he didn't know if he was a demon clan, whether the Rakshasa clan was a demon clan, if so, then whether he would have to break with his companions and mentors living on the immortal mountain, don't forget, they are also Huaxia people, and they are Huaxia people who are cultivating immortals.

Shen Fei felt confused and helpless, to be honest, he was somewhat tired of Shen Teng's appearance, because it was Shen Teng who made him see the world in its truest form, and saw a much more cruel scene than he imagined.

"Okay, that's it. Shen Teng and the butcher talked a few words in the language outside the plug, and the butcher untied the shackles that locked the little merman, and the moment the shackles were released, Shen Fei saw a trace of surprise on the faces of the little mermaid and the other friends in the cage at the same time, and occasionally one or two companions were taken away by people from the outside world, leaving here, probably the reason why there was always a glimmer of hope in their eyes. Ironically, after a long period of oppression, just being kept as livestock is enough to make them happy.

Among all the little monsters, only the Rakshasa clan with fiery red eyes is at the very end, only this child of the same race will never give in, and there will never be surprise on his face, the child of the Rakshasa clan will always live in the strongest cage, always red-eyed, tearing the cage with both hands, and never giving up grabbing freely with his own hands, this is a race that will never give in, and it is his own race.

Shen Fei suddenly felt a little proud, he felt that being a Rakshasa clan was actually not a sad thing, because this nation would never give up fighting for hope, would never give up what was freely grasped, never.

Of course, this is just what he thinks now, the truth of the matter is always hidden behind the fog, including his true identity, Shen Fei can't remember at all, what his mother is like......

Except for the blue hair, the lower half of the body has the tail of a fish, and if you look at the upper part of the body, the mermaid child is almost no different from ordinary human children, but it is more delicate, more gentle, and the skeleton is a little smaller.

Probably to adapt to life in the deep sea, the bones of the mermaid are hollow, fragile by nature, and easy to break, so they are not suitable for long-term living on land, nor are they suitable for fighting.

After the shackles were untied, the wrist of the little mermaid was almost rotten, it was the scar left by the long period of painful struggle and could not be freed, and a large piece of the scale in the middle of the fish's tail fell off, which was also caused by the same reason, Shen Fei felt distressed when he saw it, and wanted to heal it immediately, but finally endured it and did not do it.

Physical injuries can be healed, spiritual diseases cannot be eradicated, once servility is established, the little mermaid is a slave for the rest of his life, as long as the master gives a little color, he will happily not be able to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

The pathetic creature, no wonder its persecuted companions hide in the deepest depths of the sea, lure the passing ships with their songs, kill the crews of them, it turns out that there is such an unforgettable hatred between humans and mermaids.

The fishtail gently slapped the board, the frequency of the slapping was fixed, like a beautiful percussion music, the little mermaid seemed to understand what was going to happen next, and opened his arms towards Shen Teng, but he was not picked up, on the contrary, he was shackled again and his neck and hands were buckled, and the chain on his neck stretched out for a long time, and the end was handed over to Shen Teng by the butcher.

The latter pulled hard, and the little mermaid immediately left the board and was forcibly dragged to the ground, Shen Fei could understand Shen Teng's intention to do this, but he still felt that it was too cruel and couldn't bear to look at it again.

The shackles locked the neck of the little merman, and Shen Teng led the other end of the chain forward, and the beautiful fishtail of the little mermaid left a clear mark on the filthy ground, and the scales grinded off in the process of laborious progress. Even so, its eyes still had tears of happiness and a light full of hope, and it probably knew that after being taken away, it was far away from being whipped all day long, and it did not have to die early.

At the same time, in the face of the two-way choice of stealing a life and being generous, except for the Rakshasa clan, almost all races in the world, whether it is a human, a demon, or a beast, have invariably chosen the path of stealing a living. This is a choice made by life, and the races that cannot endure humiliation and burden in order to survive have long been screened out in the long river of evolution, and only the races that survive tenaciously no matter what, and adapt to the surrounding environment no matter what, can survive.

However, the Rakshasa is an exception, the Rakshasa never succumb to any external force, even the youngest Rakshasa will fight with the bullies with red eyes. Therefore, although the butcher here hates the children of the Rakshasa clan, he is the only one who does not dare to bully them, because if you bully them today, maybe when they get the opportunity in the future, they will bite you, bite you mercilessly, and never stop biting off the flesh and skin.

The little merman dragged the fishtail and crawled, the butcher waved to the two behind him, and said something he didn't understand, Shen Fei asked, "What is he talking about?"

Shen Teng replied: "He said that this little mermaid is very valuable, and it should not be broken and died like last time." ”

"You did it on purpose?" Shen Fei immediately thought of a possibility.

"Huh. Shen Teng didn't answer explicitly.

Moving on, the children in the cage saw the little shark who was held in the hands of the two, and they all showed envious looks, Shen Fei felt helpless about this, in his impression, death is lighter than a feather, and some are heavier than Mount Tai, and he must not accept to become a dog loyal to his master and steal his life. Walking forward, the resentment gathered around him became heavier and heavier, Shen Fei looked around and didn't say a word, he could guess that Shen Teng, who had obviously obtained the little shark man, was still pulling him to keep walking forward, it must be because there was something else here.
