Salted fish master was forced to accept disciples

Xi Tao was pleasantly surprised to find that the mana in his body had recovered by [-]%.

His eyes lit up involuntarily, and he looked at Jiu Ling in surprise. After so many days, he finally made progress!

His apprentice has taken a big step towards goodness!It's a big step away from the blackened place!

He was so excited that he couldn't help pursing his lips and laughing, his eyes brightened at Jiu Ling, reflecting the fireworks behind him, and his smile was like a flower.

Looking at the elegant smile on his face, Jiu Ling unnaturally looked away and looked at the vast night.

Xi Tao smiled gratifiedly, seeing that the apprentice refused to pay attention to him, and sat down on the railing, with his fingers curled up in snow-colored silk, he was still in a good mood.

Just as he was about to speak, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly saw Nangong Jing, who was supposed to be drunk and sleeping, appearing not far from the attic, and couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly.

Behind Nangongjing were the two mermen who were given to him just now, and they were stealthily walking towards the side door against the base of the wall.

Jiuling followed his line of sight, restrained her smile, lowered her eyes, and her eyes fell on Nangongjing coldly.

Nangongjing led the two mermen to the side door, opened the side door, took out a token and handed it to the two mermen, the merman bowed to him gratefully, and then ran out quickly .

Nangongjing closed the side door, looked left and right, waited for the two sharks to go far away, and then quietly walked away along the corner of the wall.

Xi Tao understood that Nangongjing must have been pretending to be drunk on purpose just now, and he did this to secretly let the two mermen leave.

Xi Tao couldn't help curling her lips in relief, turned her head to look at Jiu Ling, and said persuasively: "Ling'er, look, Xishui City is not all bad people, there are still good people, Mr. Nangong is not a hypocritical person, he I really want to help the sharks."

Jiu Ling's eyes were still dark, and he looked back without saying yes or no.

Xitao wants his apprentice to feel the truth, kindness and beauty in the world, and to get in touch with beautiful people and things more, so that he can open his heart and not be eroded by the malice in his heart, and eventually blacken and cause blood to flow into rivers.

He persisted and said: "Ling'er, you should get in touch with people of your age. Nangongjing is an upright person. Maybe you can become friends."

If Jiuling and Nangongjing could become friends, then as the future Lord of the Merman and the Lord of Xishui City, they would be able to resolve the conflict between the two clans, and perhaps find a way of peaceful coexistence.

Jiu Ling looked cold and said firmly, "He and I will never be friends."

Xi Tao was stunned for a moment, the hatred in Jiu Ling's eyes was too strong, it was as dark as the thick night.

Looking at the brightly lit street under the attic, Jiuling was silent for a while, then suddenly asked softly, "Is Xishui City beautiful?"

"Beautiful." Xi Tao said as she lay on the railing, looking at the scenery below without even thinking about it.

Xishui City is really beautiful. Under the sky, there is a vast expanse of blue sea. Xishui City stands alone, like a gem in the water. If it is not soaked in the blood and tears of the mermaids, he will definitely like it very much.

Jiu Ling slightly bent the corners of her lips, but the deep pool in her eyes was cold as far as the eye could see.

He looked down at the entire Xishui City, his voice was as cool as water in the night, "This place originally belonged to the sharks."

Xi Tao felt that there was something wrong with Jiuling's tone, as if he had stripped away all his depression and darkness and exposed himself in front of him, he unconsciously turned his eyes and looked over.

Looking at the bustling market, Jiu Ling said with a voice like a slowly flowing clear spring, "Many years ago, only sharks who swam ashore lived here comfortably and peacefully. It has nothing to do with this place."

Xitao has only heard of Tianshui Yise, but has never seen it so far.

Jiuling said in a slow voice: "The sky and water are the same color, and there are cliffs on both sides, which cannot be climbed. In the middle of the two cliffs is a huge water curtain waterfall. The water flow is so fast that only sharks with excellent water skills can pass through it, so only sharks can pass through it." Entering here, relying on such natural dangers, the mermaids have lived comfortably here for thousands of years, living a life of indifference to the world."

When Jiu Ling said this, his voice paused.

Xi Tao couldn't help asking: "And then?"

Since only sharks can come here, how could Xishui City be reduced to what it is today?

Jiu Ling turned to look at him, the corners of his mouth curled carelessly, and he spoke slowly, as if narrating a story.

"One day, the mermaids were playing in the water. They heard the continuous screams coming from the sky and the water. They couldn't help going to check. They saw through the water curtain that the battle was raging outside. A group of men, women and children were hunted down. The people who killed them were extremely cruel, even the elderly and children were spared, blood flowed like rivers."

Xi Tao was slightly stunned, this was almost exactly the same as Jiu Ling's practice of massacring the people in Xishui City after he turned black.

Could it be that the reason why Jiu Ling did that after his blackening was to let them know what would have happened to them if there had been no merman?

Xi Tao sat up straight unconsciously, and listened attentively.

Jiu Ling's eyes were deep and dark, almost blending into the boundless darkness.

"The mermaids have never left Xishui City. They are simple and kind-hearted, and they don't know the sinister heart. When they saw people kneeling and begging outside the sky and water, they couldn't help but soften their hearts. They ran to the Lord of the mermaids to save those people. .”

Xitao gasped for breath and became tense unconsciously. Since the blood of the merman master flowed in Jiuling's body, the merman master at that time was probably his parents.

"At that time, the master of the merman was a female merman named Shui Qingcheng. She was beautiful and kind, just like other mermen. After hearing about the tragedy outside Tianshui Yishi, she decided to use the power of the deep sea in her body to open Tianshui Yishi. , let those humans come in."

"After Water Allure City opened up the sky and water, the mermaids changed into fish tails and swam into the water to help the people who don't know water to swim from the water and get rid of the pursuit. Come here, stand outside the sky and water and dare not go forward."

"The human race was very surprised when they saw the merman's fish tail, but the merman saved them. They didn't care about anything else. They were all grateful and thankful. I only hope that the merman can take them in."

"There was a lot of war outside. After saving the human race, Shui Qingcheng closed the sky and water, and took in those human races. The mermaids were hospitable, helped them build houses, gave them food, and let them live here."

When Xi Tao heard this, he suddenly didn't dare to listen. He inexplicably remembered the bloody teeth marks on Jiu Ling's fair neck the day he came here.

"The mermaids don't know how precious and tempting everything on them is to the human race. The two races coexist peacefully. Gradually, after the gratitude of the human race fades, some people are no longer willing to accept the charity of the mermaids." , They are longing for the pearls condensed from the shark's tears, and also longing for the treasures brought by the shark's deep sea."

"The mermaids have never been in contact with the outside world, so they don't know how valuable their tears are, but those greedy people clearly know that the mermaids don't know how valuable everything in the sea is, and those greedy people also know that in the eyes of the mermaids, There are only bright and beautiful but useless objects in it, but in the eyes of those people, they are all innumerable gold and silver treasures, and after a long time, they finally began to move around."

Xi Tao frowned deeply, and unconsciously held her breath.

Jiuling's smile became colder and colder, "At this time, Shui Qingcheng fell in love with a human man, and the man used the romantic methods he learned outside to pursue Shui Qingcheng, giving her a romance that she had never seen before. , she soon fell into that man's deliberate love."

"Shui Qingcheng fell in love with that man unreservedly, and the two held a grand wedding ceremony. The skirt was made of pearls, and the floor was covered with coral. The mermaids and the human race celebrated joyously for three days and three nights. The mermaids foolishly thought that It symbolizes that the human race regards them as the same kind, and the two races are friendly, and from now on, we will live in Xishui City regardless of you and me."

Xi Tao clenched her palms tightly, her fingertips turning pale.

Jiu Ling didn't know, but he clearly understood that the story Jiu Ling was telling now might be the story of his parents.

"Ling'er, stop talking." Xi Tao said in a trembling voice.

If Jiu Ling finds out his identity in the future, these are the things that will make him overwhelmed with pain.

The corners of Jiu Ling's mouth curled up when he heard this, with dark clouds under his eyes, "Master, don't you want to hear it? The ending of this story is very interesting, and I want to share it with Master."

He didn't stop, and continued talking on his own.

"After Shui Qingcheng married that man, he treated her tenderly, and she became pregnant soon."

Xi Tao's lips trembled slightly.

Jiu Ling said: "When a merman is pregnant, they are extremely fragile, and their mana will be absorbed by the child. The merman's master is no exception. Shui Qingcheng becomes no different from an ordinary woman."

"Shui Qingcheng is immersed in joy, happy to have a child with the man he loves, and that man is also extremely happy, because he has been waiting for this day."

Jiuling changed the subject, and Sen said coldly: "However, that man is not waiting for their child to be born, but waiting for her body to be too weak to protect those simple mermaids."

Xi Tao gritted her teeth, he knew that the next development between Shui Qingcheng and that man would definitely not be a happy one.

A past event of treachery, because the protagonist became Jiu Ling's parents, made him terrified.

"When Shui Qingcheng was about to give birth, the man tricked Shui Qingcheng to the cliff, where Shui Qingcheng rescued him. Shui Qingcheng was very happy that day. She was wearing the dress that the man gave her, and her face was always filled with a happy smile. But the man stood behind Shui Qingcheng, raised the sharp knife he had prepared long ago, and stabbed Shui Qingcheng without hesitation."

"Shui Qingcheng turned her head in disbelief, and saw with her own eyes that the man she met day and night changed from his usual gentle and tender appearance, and showed a cruel and bloody smile to her."
