The three-step method of raising mermaid

It was the first time Ren Que entered the White Jade Palace, his robes fluttered lightly, he looked gloomy and indifferent, and headed up the stairs with his head buried.The sky above the White Jade Palace was clear and the scorching sun shone overhead, but his expression was even more terrifying.

Hundreds of steps have passed, and the grand hall is close in front of you. The guide lights on both sides extend forward in the daytime, and the powerful bells are ringing, just like the ancient hall.The servant stood with his hands down, not daring to show any emotion to Ren Que, the leading female officer called Ren Que, and then led him the way.

Behind the main hall of Baiyu Palace is a sacrificial spring.

The open-air circular column guards the central statue of the goddess. The goddess is dressed in tulle, holding a sword symbolizing power in her hand, and looking at the sky with compassionate eyes.The sacrificial spring surrounds the stone statue, and only a narrow stone road leads to the central island. There is a chessboard under the stone statue, and a man sits on one end, looking at Ren Que.

"You came."

The high-spirited and handsome man, with sword-shaped brows, and unfriendly glances from the side.

Ren Que walked a little slowly, he had no impression of the man in the distance, and the many days of adjudication conference did not let Ren Que know anything about the man in front of him.

The man waited for Ren Que to sit down, without saying a word, picked up the white stone and placed it in the middle.

clatter--

With a crisp sound, the jade chess piece fell into place.

"Nan Ruo often told me that Ren Que is good at playing."

The man raised his eyes, staring at Ren Que meaningfully.

The kind of eyes that seem to see through everything are disgustingly familiar and self-righteous.Ren Que frowned slightly, picked up the black chess piece, barely suppressed his anger, and started to move when he saw the move.

The opponent has a shrewd mind, a cunning layout, and a constant series of tricks; Ren Que's chess style is fierce, pressing every step of the way, like a knife blade with a cold light.There was the sound of chess pieces being placed, the spring was flowing, the sun was slanted, and a ray swept across, Ren Que squinted his eyes as if he was stabbed.

"Before Nan Ruo takes Chu Yu to the coast, come and see me." The man said slowly.

Ren Que's fingers holding the chess paused, and the strings in his mind tensed instantly.

Nan Ruo, have you met him once?

Why did Nan Ruo come to see him? Does he... know what happened to Chu Yu in Luoshen Mansion these years?

"Aren't you curious why she came to me?" The man raised his head and glanced at Ren Que, and saw the young man's tight finger arcs, his movements were stiff, but he still pretended to be calm.

"You've already entered the game." Ren Que's voice was extremely cold, hiding doubts and unhappiness, he gave up and warned softly.

"You are wrong." The man smiled, and he played a chess game. The two poles of the chessboard were reversed, surrounded by dangers, and Ren Que suddenly fell into a close game.

He observed the chess game and simulated all the possibilities in the blink of an eye, but he couldn't find a solution to retreat completely.He didn't move for a long time, his cold eyes raised from under the slender eyelashes, and he looked at the smiling man coldly.

This game of chess is not impossible, Ren Que has two choices-either sacrifice part of his foundation to preserve his foundation, or concentrate on putting all his efforts.

"It stands to reason that since you slaughtered the Mermaid soldiers and destroyed the 32 palaces in the south of Ruoshui South Bank, the Mermaid should hold you accountable first. But they proposed that as long as Chu Yu beheaded, you can be exempted from the crime." The man smiled. Moan. "This is also the reason why you can still get away with it until now."

"Just because Nan Ruo and Chu Yu crossed the middle confrontation area without authorization?" Ren Que put down the chess pieces and confronted them coldly. "It seems that your negotiating skills are very poor."

"So, didn't Nan Ruo tell you the purpose of her trip?" The man raised his eyebrows in surprise, and mockery flashed in his eyes.

The stress response was average, Ren Que clenched his fists under the table.

Nan Ruo didn't say anything to him, just traveled a long distance, a word to teach Chu Yu to hunt, and a few words about adult topics.If he hadn't received a distress signal, he wouldn't have known that Nan Ruo was in Guan Shanhai.

"Perhaps you know that the mermaids have a set of coming-of-age rituals passed down from ancient times, also known as hunting rituals. Young mermaids must independently hunt an ancient sea monster as a proof of their strength; in addition, pure blooded mermaids will also use the blood of the sea monster when they reach adulthood. Bloodline purification technique..." the man said.

Ren Que pondered the credibility of the man's words, and when he heard the end, he was suddenly taken aback.

The reason why Guanshanhai became a vacuum confrontation area between the regulators and the mermaids is that it originated from the southern part of the south bank of Ruoshui, and hundreds of nautical miles away from the Guanshanhai Pass, there is a holy land guarded by the mermaids.

It is said that the god that the mermaid has guarded for generations is buried there.

"The holy land outside Guanshan is the only place for the mermaid hunting ceremony." The man's tone was slightly lower.

Ren Que lowered his eyes.

In order for Chu Yu to carry out the hunting ceremony, she went to the confrontation zone in desperation. Based on Ren Que's understanding of Nan Ruo, that woman could do it 100%.

"With these alone, tens of thousands of mermaid soldiers can hunt down and kill Nan Ruo and Chu Yu? Even if they enter the country privately, it's far from going to war." Ren Que asked back.

"But Chu Yu's prey is the only successor of the Mermaid King, a crown prince who is also on the verge of adulthood and goes hunting in the Holy Land."

As soon as the man's voice fell, clouds covered the sky and the sun disappeared into Ren Que's dilated pupils.

Only then did Ren Que remember that when the Mermaid Minister arrived at the Floating World Corridor on the first day, he brought an empty crystal coffin.

"The mermaid tribe said that tens of thousands of troops stood outside the holy land and waited for the crown prince to return from hunting, but they didn't realize something was wrong until the crown prince's soul stone shattered. Later, just like what you saw, the mermaid army fought against Chu Yunanruo."

The man said these words without heaviness. He touched the chessboard, and the round pieces touched each other, and his voice melted into the sound of water.

"That's why they wanted Chu Yu to be buried with him?" Ren Que's voice inevitably became heavy. "How can you be sure that the one who died is the Crown Prince?"

"Ren Que, some things are never as clear as black and white chess pieces." The man didn't answer, but said something like this.

Ren Que's nails dug into the flesh, and the gloomy and chilling gaze fell on the man's face, making one's spine tremble.

Indeed, who died is no longer in dispute. Crossing the confrontation zone, sneaking into the holy place, hunting and killing people, Chu Yu was nailed to death on the beheading platform by piles of evil deeds.There is no one in Luoshen Mansion now, if Nan Ruo violated the ban first, and Chu Yu killed people later, the supervisor needs to give an explanation to the mermaid, otherwise the next step will be war.

However, how could the supervisor choose to start a war with the mermaid clan who managed to maintain a good relationship because of a mermaid of unknown origin and a dead head of the Luoshen Mansion.

"Why did you tell me this?" Ren Que pursed her lower lip and looked directly at the man.

The man tilted his head, pretending to smile mysteriously, and said in a strange tone, "It's just a mourning for an old friend."

Ren Que gradually walked away, and the man was still sitting at the chess table. The weather in the Ukishi Corridor changed quickly. The sky was clear before, but in the blink of an eye, it was full of gloomy clouds.He rubbed the two chess pieces in his palm, turned them slowly, his eyes gradually lost focus, and the sound of water ding-dong, dipped into the cold pool.

He and Nan Ruo used to be childhood sweethearts, and they were also the first people in the entire Floating World Corridor to know the existence of Chu Yu.At the beginning, Nan Ruo asked him to keep the secret, so he helped to deal with all the hidden dangers about Chu Yu, including finally, when Nan Ruo left, he also met with him.

"This trip is dangerous, I don't want to implicate Ren Que, if something happens to me..." Nan Ruo also sat in front of the chessboard under the goddess statue, and said apologetically: "Please hide it for me. In addition, you must take good care of him."

Nan Ruo's ability to make a prophecy come true is not weak. On a certain day, the short, devil-like, continuous distress signal, and the rhythm of the strange frequency, depicts the despair of Nan Ruo struggling alone on the coast.

But the sun was shining brightly that day, and the world was peaceful. The white doves in the Ukishi Corridor flew across the sky, and the celebration parade was unprecedentedly grand.

The man poured out the wine and drank again, looking at the bustling scene until the signal of nothingness disappeared.

Because no one heard the survival information from the coast except Ren Que.

Ren Que went to the prison in the Floating World Corridor. The cold and damp water prison had a rancid smell, and he walked down the stairs with a lamp in his hand. Ren Que's Buddhist robes were blindingly white under the cold light.The light and shadow were chaotic, covering his slightly worried and dignified eyebrows and eyes, only his lips pursed into a line.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty and narrow passage. The lamps were rusted and creaked as they walked. As they got closer, Ren Que suddenly stopped in place, staring blankly at the huddled creature inside the rusty railing.

Hearing someone passing by, the thing moved tirelessly, as if it had been done thousands of times.The chain dragged in the pool, and the rancid smell surged again.

The ear-piercing sound of the rag bag being dragged on the ground, the black figure flickered, and a pair of scarred hands grasped the railing.

"Woooo!"

The cry of that thing was very soft, hoarse and dry, and it flowed out from behind the cage, making Ren Que's eyes suddenly red.

Chu Yu squeezed his forehead against the cell door desperately, flapping his tail vigorously, jumping out as if he had exhausted all his strength, screaming at Ren Que miserably and crying.

Ren Que couldn't understand the mermaid's language, but he seemed to understand Chu Yu's meaning at that moment.

Chu Yu was saying: Brother, do you want me anymore?
