It's Liao Zhai, not Cthulhu

The huge figure has a broad and thick back, but it is slightly hunchbacked, and the whole body is covered with scales. On the back, the elbows, ears, and legs are all attached to the fins that are curved like blades, like a sword. Swing the rough fan on your body,

The wet liquid also slipped from its huge body.

The incomparably huge figure seemed to overlap with the largest individual depicted on the stone tablet.

The details on the monolith match what is seen.

what is that?What it is?

Is that... the king of the mermen?

Is that... the god of the merman?

But with such a hideous appearance, could he really be the king or god of the mermaids?

He waved his strong, scaly hands, grabbed the sides of the stele, and lowered the huge head,

The human-like and monster-like roar continued to resound, but the sound seemed to have some kind of meaning.

It's like a human conversation.

He doesn't understand, but he feels... somewhat understand,

He... is calling for his own ethnic group, his own people, and his own believers.

One after another, crawling out of the water are gray-green mermaids or murlocs like the various mermen on the stone tablet. Whether it is human or fish, they are more or less similar.

It's just that some faces are biased toward frogs, but more of them are fish.

The sharks called loudly.

"Dagon, Dagon, Dagon, Dagon..."

That... is its divine name, and also his king's name.

The king named Dagon, the god named Dagon,

looked at himself.

Everything in the line of sight began to distort and blur,

Those mermaids are walking towards me...

"!!!".

Mu Changong woke up, he was inexplicably terrified, he knew that he had had an absurd and terrifying dream, but he couldn't remember the content,

I can only remember some small, scattered, details, as if I dreamed of a shark, but I can't remember more.

That is a sentence I read from some ancient book. It was an ancient book handed down from a certain Taoist temple. It happened to be published this year. It introduced some monsters and their functions, as well as countermeasures, but how in this world? Will there be monsters?

Mu Changong thought it was because of the visualization to supplement the food and clothing expenses of the temple, so he published idle books. After all, those who write novels like this tune.

So he just laughed it off and bought it as a casual book. There was a paragraph in the book that described the mermaids.

[There are sharks in the South China Sea, and the sharks shed their tears as pearls. It is said in the world that sharks live in the deep sea and weave beautifully. Their meat can prolong their life, and their bodies can be burned for thousands of years. Therefore, the shark's bones and flesh and tears are made of shark oil. Candles can be called longevity candles; longevity candles can continue life, and exchange longevity for longevity.

17 years ago, a fisherman left his hometown to go fishing. One night, he met a beautiful shark girl. The shark girl fell in love with the fisherman at first sight, and returned home with the fisherman. They got married that night, and then returned home. She gave birth to a son for the fisherman, but when his son was five years old, the shark girl said goodbye to the fisherman, saying that the tribes and gods in the sea were calling her, so she had to leave. The fisherman was alone with his child.

Yu went to meet the fisherman and his son in private, and the son did not show signs of a mermaid, so in order to avoid causing trouble to the father and son, Yu withheld the names and places of origin of the father and son. 】

Mu Changong's memories came to an abrupt end, and he thought of that girl again.

"Girl, girl, why don't you come to see me? Are you that shark?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Mu Changong was packing up the gold and silver at home, like the gold that was alienated by Qin Yuelou and was divided into two parts after being exchanged for silver notes.

Both banknotes were wrapped in layers of oiled paper, and then sewn on the inner layer of underwear.

This was suggested by Mu Xiaohuan. It can only be said that Mu Xiaohuan is very cautious when dealing with valuables.

Moreover, he is also well versed in the reason that eggs cannot be put in the same basket.

Just as Mu Changong was cleaning up the house, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

It was an old woman who knocked on the door, because the old woman kept shouting.

"Xiao Langjun! You are going to kill my granddaughter!"

Mu Xiaohuan and Mu Changong looked at each other, so Mu Xiaohuan went to open the door.

The one who spoke was a hunchbacked old woman with goose skin and white hair. Her body still smelled of water, and her neck was wrinkled, and she also looked weird.

Because the old woman's face looked like a frog, with big eyes and a big mouth protruding a bit.

"Grandma, what are you talking about? My son has been with me these days, how could he kill your daughter? If you talk nonsense like this, I will report to the government to arrest you." Mu Xiaohuan said angrily.

"Oh, you misunderstood, my granddaughter Bai Qiulian told me that she heard you reading poems when she was in the city, and after Qiulian met your child, she didn't think about tea or food. This is lovesickness. The old man came here this time, just to invite your children to meet my granddaughter, lest she really die because of the little man." The old woman explained, then turned her head and said to Mu Changong, "I want to Qiu Lian is betrothed to you, please don't refuse."

The old woman also gestured with both hands, but Mu Xiaohuan sensed something was wrong with sharp eyes.

Why is there a fleshy film between the fingers of this old woman that looks like duck and goose flippers?But Mu Changong didn't find out.

Originally, Mu Xiaohuan meant to let Mu Changong go and have a look. Originally, Mu Changong hadn't gotten married so far, so he didn't say anything, but he was also anxious, but,

After seeing the webbed meat membrane between the old woman's fingers, Mu Xiaohuan became a little flustered.

"This thing...is it going to take Toad Palace away?" Mu Xiaohuan was flustered, so she also changed her mind.

Coincidentally, just as Mu Changong was about to speak, he was interrupted by Mu Xiaohuan, and Mu Changong could only stare blankly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are moving out today, your daughter should find a good family to marry her." Mu Xiaohuan packed up the valuables carelessly, and put the burden on her back after putting it away properly. , and continued to add.

"We are going to leave Jinlin City. Is your girl a local? Even if she is a local, can she leave with us? Auntie, what you said is unrealistic, so even if my son goes to see your girl, they They won't be married either."

This is quite categorical.

After the old woman heard Mu Xiaohuan's words, a chill appeared on her anxious face.

"In the marriages in this world, some people are very wronged and can't succeed. Now that I am a matchmaker myself, your father refuses to agree, and you hesitate to agree. I am too shameful! Don't even think about leaving by boat. !"

The old woman said coldly, turned around and left. At the moment she turned around, Mu Xiaohuan saw the wrinkles on the old woman's neck again, which seemed to be opening and closing.

This... what is this?Is it gills?

Mu Xiaohuan was horrified, but seeing Mu Changong anxiously wanting to keep him,

So Mu Xiaohuan slapped Mu Changong's head fiercely with his hands, and Mu Changong couldn't speak a word and could only cry out in pain.

"Father, what are you doing?! What if that girl is really..." Mu Changong hadn't finished speaking.

"Shut up! Pack up your things and come with me! Let's go find Mr. Qin!" Mu Xiaohuan yelled at Mu Chan Palace.

This was the first time that Mu Changong saw Mu Xiaohuan get so angry.

Mu Changong was a little scared, so he lowered his head resentfully, and went back to the room to pack up his things.

Mu Xiaohuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. His hands were trembling uncontrollably, he lit the cigarette pot, took a few puffs, and squatted at the door, his already somewhat old face looked even more tired and old. I couldn't stop thinking about it.

"Why? Why? Why is Toad Palace being targeted?

That old woman is obviously not a normal person, which normal person would have something like that?

Toad Palace cannot be allowed to touch her, absolutely not.

In this matter, Mr. Qin must be asked for help. "

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaohuan urged Mu Chan Palace, and then took Mu Chan Palace to the inn where Qin Yuelou was.

The two hurried to find Qin Yuelou, but Qin Yuelou looked like he had just woken up.

"What's the situation?" Qin Yuelou saw the expressions of the father and son, and felt that something had happened.

So Mu Xiaohuan told Qin Yuelou about her discovery in front of Mu Changong.

"Master Qin, please help us." Mu Xiaohuan made a gesture to kneel down.

But was supported by Qin Yuelou with mana.

"Don't kneel, I can't afford it." Qin Yuelou quickly waved his hands, "I can help you with this matter, after all, I also find it troublesome, and I heard Mr. Mu said that you will pass through Gusu, so I am shy and rubbing against you The boat is gone, since it’s all over, it’s inappropriate to say that I won’t help you, but..."

"Just what? You said, I will do my best to meet your needs." Mu Xiaohuan said hastily.

"It's just that I will observe this matter carefully. After all, I have made mistakes before. I rashly used my own decision to interfere with others without understanding the cause and effect of the matter. Therefore, my help may not meet your expectations. .” Qin Yuelou said to Mu Xiaohuan.

"Yes, yes, you are right, but please also protect the Toad Palace, please." Mu Xiaohuan's eyes were red.

Poor parents all over the world, Mu Xiaohuan seems to be very afraid of losing her son.

"Don't worry, then, let's go to the passenger ship first." Qin Yuelou said, "Master Mu, is this really the same as what your father said? What are your own thoughts?"

"I want to go and see if that woman named Bai Qiulian is the girl I saw at that time, but..." Mu Changong hesitated to speak.

"Unfortunately, I can't help you find it. After all, the smell of water and fish is not too distinctive." Qin Yuelou thought helplessly.

"It's okay, remember what I said, will it happen by chance?" Qin Yuelou asked Mu Changong.

"I remember." Mu Changong replied, but he didn't understand why Qin Yuelou would ask such a question.

"This is destiny. If your destiny is to meet her, then nothing will stop you. But if your destiny is not to meet her, then you will not be able to see her no matter what." Qin Yuelou said , and thought of something.

"Fate is inherently impermanent. How can there be so many happy things in this world?"

Is the so-called destiny the lawful trajectory of the heavens in this world?

The so-called fate, is it the way of heaven that determines the inevitable experience of all people, even if there are different interactions, it will bring about the only and inevitable result?

Qin Yuelou didn't know, he just thought of the white fox.

The third sister Mu beheaded the white fox, and then attracted him to confront Hu Shanao, and finally killed Hu Shanao.

But the white fox, according to the daughters of the Hu family, has never done anything bad in its life, and when I was doing the experiment, I also found that the white fox did not have blood and food filth.

However, the white fox is already dead, so it is impossible for him to scold his sister because of the white fox who is neither relative nor relative.

Hu Shanao, who did something to his own family, is also dead, he really deserves to die.

However, if the white fox did not die, wouldn't there be no such things that happened later?

Is this the inevitable result of the interactions between the fates of different individuals?

Qin Yuelou doesn't know, but,

Fate is impermanent, but it is also destined.

Wherever it is, it always has been.

[If] represents countless possibilities, while [Fate] represents the only path.

Qin Yuelou seemed to realize something, as if something throbbed in his heart, something was generated and evolved in his heart, but it was interrupted by Mu Changong.

"But, if it's really what you said, why can't people rebel against their fate? Isn't there a saying from ancient times to the present that 'man will conquer the sky'? " Mu Changong asked Qin Yuelou.

Although he was interrupted, Qin Yuelou was not angry. For others, [enlightenment] is rare, but for him, he would be enlightened from time to time.

Rare things are more expensive. When a thing is in large quantities, it will not be so precious, so it becomes a less valued thing.

For example, money.

Qin Yuelou never made friends based on whether the other party had a lot of money, anyway, no matter how much money he had, he would never have as much.

Because he can make tens of thousands of gold with anything he orders, so he can give as much as he wants.

"Man is determined to conquer nature? Is it possible that man will conquer heaven when man is determined to conquer nature?" Qin Yuelou asked Mu Changong,

"Don't think about this kind of thing. If you think about it too much, you will only get into a dead end. It's not good if you get stuck inside and can't get out."

Qin Yuelou never thinks about this kind of problem, because this kind of problem can make dolls and jump around repeatedly,

It is like a circle, closed to each other, reaching the finite infinity. No matter whether the principle of this circle is positive or negative, the answer will be correct, thus creating an indescribable inexplicable chaos, including all things and concepts of unity of opposites in.

So Qin Yuelou began to realize again, but he couldn't understand it, and he couldn't understand it, so it came and went quickly.

"Alright, it's time for us to go." Qin Yuelou patted Mu Changong on the shoulder.

Mu Changong seemed a little dull, he asked Qin Yuelou unwillingly.

"Young Master Qin, you always say that fate will happen, so if we hadn't met you, wouldn't we have died in that ruined temple? Then you are the one who defied the destiny?"

"But, how do you know that I didn't follow the destiny to appear there?" Qin Yuelou continued to ask.

Shun for the mortal, rebellious for the immortal?Maybe it's an idea.

But, is fate really so rebellious?

Unless you can really jump out of the three realms and six realms, not be in the yin-yang and five elements, transcend or be bound by the destiny, become a [change above change], become a [variable].
