teardrops

Only Zhan Zhao and Rui'er were left in the room, Rui'er stared at Zhan Zhao, although he kept silent, she still felt a bit of reluctance and sadness, tears welled up in her eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head, He whispered: "My lord, Rui Er is afraid that I will say goodbye to you forever..."

Zhan Zhao also stared at her, without moving his eyes, as if she would disappear from his eyes at any moment.Rui'er raised his head again, his eyes became firmer, and he said, "Master, although Feng Yi was severely injured, he did not die after all. If he recovered his vitality, then the 'Six Star Blood Formation' would still activate. I have an accident, so I can only trouble you and Huanzhu, we must try to stop him!" He nodded, but tried hard to stop his tears from streaming down.

"Rui'er..." He called softly.

Hearing this address that had never been spoken by him, Princess Long's dim eyes brightened a lot.She gasped for a while, and stretched out a hand to him with all her might.

Zhan Zhao hastily stepped forward, took hold of this hot little hand, and embraced her in his arms, two lines of tears could no longer be held back, and rolled down.

Rui'er was slightly startled, but soon calmed down, closed her eyes, and buried her face in his chest.It feels really safe, as if father and brother are hugging themselves.She felt sorry for a while, but unfortunately, she will never see him again, and I am going to die...

He hugged her like he was holding a ball of fire, but he refused to let go, maybe once he let go, she would leave forever.

Time seemed to have stood still in the room.

At this time, there was a burst of singing outside the house.

The song was ethereal and boundless, dreamlike and unreal, as sweet as a silver bell, light and elusive, but also filled with infinite sadness, which made people feel unbearable heartache when they heard it.

"Song of the Merman." She murmured, her eyes closed, "Huanzhu, Huanzhu, is Huanzhu going to bid me farewell..."

As Huanzhu's soft singing continued to sing, her mind gradually fell into a coma again, her breathing became weaker and slower, the blush on her cheeks gradually faded, and the burning sensation slowly dissipated.

He hugged her tightly, without saying a word, but never shed a single tear.

At this moment, the singing stopped suddenly.A moment later, the door creaked open.

Huanzhu walked in slowly.

Her eye sockets were still red, but her eyes looked dull, somewhat similar to when Feng Yi controlled her spiritual consciousness back then.Zhan Zhao hugged Rui'er, without turning around.

Huan Zhu walked in front of the two, but knelt down on both knees, raised her head and said to Zhan Zhao, "Young Master, don't be sad anymore. I have a way to save the princess."

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he couldn't help being stunned. Huanzhu gave Zhan Zhao another white kit with both hands, and said, "Master Zhan, please pass it on to a princess as a souvenir. Please don't forget...forget Huanzhu ..." He was just hurt in his heart, he didn't think about it, he was just a little puzzled: why should I hand it over to her?But he didn't say it, he just accepted it.

Huanzhu didn't speak any more, just opened her cherry lips slightly, and saw a bright bead flying out of her mouth, emitting a ball of light.The beads flew over Rui'er's body again, enveloping Rui'er.

Huanzhu began to chant softly again:

Swimming in the Nine Rivers with a girl, the wind blows and the water rises

Take a waterwheel with a lotus cover, drive two dragons with a dragon

Climb to Kunlun and look around, heart soaring and mighty

The sun is coming and the evening is melancholy

The House of Fish Scales is the Hall of Dragons, the Palace of Purple Shells is the Palace of Pearls

Linghe Weixi in the water

Riding on a white turtle and chasing salmon, swimming with a girl on the Zhu River

The flow is coming and going

Let's fight each other and go eastward, and send off the beauties to Nanpu

The waves come to welcome, the fish scales come to greet me

……

The singing is still beautiful and melodious, touching the heart.Even Zhan Zhao was immersed in the singing and forgot his sadness for a moment.

But the singing was getting lower and lower, more and more light and agile, shrouded in the air like a layer of tulle.Huanzhu's face also gradually paled.The light of the beads became dimmer and dimmer, gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared.

Rui'er's breathing gradually recovered, and a trace of blood appeared on her already pale cheeks.Finally, the long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a pair of star eyes slowly opened again.

But the merman's singing has stopped, Huanzhu's slender body is lying on the ground, her beautiful face is closed and her eyes are tightly closed, she doesn't move anymore.

Rui'er came to her senses, saw Huanzhu's body, and immediately understood that the shark-tailed woman burned her own life, and used all the power of her shark-bead to dissolve part of the fire dragon's power, allowing her life force to continue.

"Huanzhu..." Two lines of crystal clear teardrops rolled down quietly.

Zhan Zhao silently handed the kit to Ruier, and she opened the kit with trembling hands, inside were dozens of smooth and round pink pearls the size of lotus seeds, she knew at a glance that they were melted by the tears of the merman, and suddenly she was far away. Memories kept coming to my mind: Many years ago, the young Ruier and Liuli heard that the tears of sharks would turn into pearls, and they had never seen Huanzhu cry, so they tricked Huanzhu to the Dragon Palace. In the deepest trench in the ocean, it is said that there is a Raksha ghost who eats sharks in that trench.

Later, Huanzhu returned to the palace with bruises all over her body, but she still didn't shed a single tear.When the father heard about this, he gave Ruier and Liuli ten lashes each.The pain of the whipping was still fresh in Rui'er's memory, but in the end they still didn't see the pearls turned into Huanzhu's tears.

But now, this beautiful shark girl sacrificed her life for Princess Dragon.Rui'er pressed the kit to her chest, tears kept rolling down.

The next day, outside Siyu Villa, by the cold pool.

Yuan Ji built a small platform with bluestones, and Huanzhu's already cold body lay quietly on the platform.

Although some of the fire dragon's power in Ruier's body has been dissolved, the remaining ones are still not to be underestimated. She has to use most of her power to suppress the remaining fire dragon's power from time to time in order to barely maintain it.

Zhan Zhao supported her, who was still very weak, and stood silently in front of Huan Zhu with Yuan Ji.

The merman was originally a human body with a fish tail, and they had to rely on spells to maintain their two-legged appearance.The dead Huanzhu returned to the real shape of the merman, and the lower body turned into a curvaceous sapphire-colored fishtail.

Yuan Ji slowly recited the formula to draw fire from the sky.

A group of blue flames surrounded the platform, the flames danced, the purple gauze fluttered, and the mermaid's ethereal and boundless singing seemed to reverberate in my ears again.

The three of them stared at the flames silently.

Rui'er tightly held the kit bag containing Huanzhu's tears in her hands, and finally couldn't help sobbing softly.

Yuan Ji's face was also full of sadness, and he was even more worried about Rui'er in his heart.This little princess has already endured too much suffering and hardship, and the road ahead is even more unpredictable. How can this weak body bear it?

Zhan Zhao was also filled with emotion. After several days of experience, the imperial guard of the human world had witnessed too many battles among the aquatic tribes. However, the crisis of the people along the Yellow River had not yet been resolved, so he could not let go of his high-hanging heart.

He set his sights on Rui'er again.

Many times, he had forgotten that this woman was of a different race. After going through all these hardships together, he could no longer stop caring about her, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken because of her tears.

He looked at her with tenderness and pity, but also with fortitude and firmness.

She raised her head, her eyes filled with tears met his gaze, and in just a split second, the two hearts understood each other's intentions.

After a long time, the fire in the sky burned out, and the beautiful shark girl turned into white ashes, and passed away with the breeze.

Rui'er stepped forward and silently collected Huan Zhu's ashes, and Yuan Ji presented a carved purple crystal box.Rui'er took it, put the ashes in the box, and said silently in her heart: Huanzhu, please forgive me, the East China Sea is thousands of miles away, I can't bring you back to your hometown for burial.Now I can only cremate you, but I will take you back to my hometown in the future, and let you sleep forever in the peaceful seabed of the East China Sea...

After collecting Huanzhu's ashes, Rui'er handed over the box to Yuan Ji, who turned around and returned to the village, and put the box away properly.

Only two people were left standing by the cold pool.

Rui'er's eyes were still tear-stained, her brows were frowning, and she stared into the distance.After a while, she turned around and asked Zhan Zhao: "My lord, although Feng Yi is not dead now, he has been severely injured, and he will not be able to do evil and harm others in a short time. But I have to rescue the imperial brother and the imprisoned woman in the Shuifu. The road ahead is difficult, and there is no way out. It has been a long time since you left Kaifeng, are you willing to return to Master Bao? If you are willing, I will ask Mr. Yuanji to send you back."

Zhan Zhao felt a little melancholy: How can I leave at this moment?Do you think I will leave you alone?The dark jade-like pupils dimmed slightly.After a long time, he lowered his body and said, "If Zhan leaves, what are your plans? Will you break into the water mansion alone?"

Rui'er lowered her head, and two tufts of hair fluttered in the wind like algae: "I don't know, maybe the sky is going to send so much suffering. I can't do anything now, but I can't do nothing." There was a little helplessness in Mei's eyes.Zhan Zhao said: "If the time permits, why don't you go look for your Dragon Ball?" Rui'er frowned slightly, and said: "Young Master's words are feasible. But the world is so big and I have no clue, where should I look for it?" Thinking After a while, he took out three bronze coins from his waist.He said: "Since there is no way out, let God decide it."

After saying that, she let go, and still the copper coin fell, picked it up again, and let the copper coin fall again. She calculated in her heart, and said to herself: "Xie Gua, benefit the Southwest. If there is nothing to go, it will return to good luck. If there is a future, it will be auspicious." Looking up to the southwest, "Now that we are in danger, if we follow the meaning of the divination, we must move quickly to get out of trouble. If it is God's will, how dare I go against it?"

When Zhan Zhao saw her move, he was secretly surprised, but he didn't expect the princess of the dragon clan to be proficient in Yi Li.Rui'er seemed to be aware of what he was thinking, with a slightly embarrassed face, she said: "I have been a teacher since I was a child, and my master has studied the theory of the Book of Changes for dozens of years, but I have only learned the superficial." Note, it is better to go to the southwest now, and if you are in a predicament, you have to start quickly to get out of the predicament."

Zhan Zhao stared at the southwest and muttered to himself, "Kaifeng City..."

The author has something to say:
