step on mountains and rivers

When Xiao Zhao came up, Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu were talking on the side of the boat. Xiao Zhao looked at the two cautiously, walked to the wooden barrel in the cabin with some fear, and put the fish into the water.

Jiang Ling happened to be walking out of the cabin with Lu Qing at this time. He saw Xiao Zhao cautiously peeking at Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu, so he asked:

"What are you looking at?"

Xiao Zhao was thinking about it when Jiang Ling's voice suddenly came, which startled him a lot and threw the bucket out of his hand, spilling the fish all over the floor.Seeing his great reaction, Jiang Ling caught the fish and put it into the wooden barrel in puzzlement.

Seeing Xiao Zhao's reaction like this, Lu Qing asked:

"what happened to you?"

Xiao Zhao looked at the two of them, took a moment to relax, and then asked softly:

"My lord, is your friend really a human?"

"Huh???" Seeing Xiao Zhao's doubts, Lu Qing looked at him puzzled and said.

After Xiao Zhao told Lu Qing about the mermaid, Lu Qing looked at Tang Qingfeng who was not far away, and said calmly:

"Really similar."

Seeing Lu Qing's answer like this, Xiao Zhao stammered in fright:

"Young master, don't you..."

"No." Lu Qing denied his guess, and then walked towards the two of them.

After Jiang Ling caught the fish, he patted Xiao Zhao on the shoulder and said, "You are too young."

Then he walked towards the three people on the side of the boat.

When Lu Qing came closer, Tang Qingfeng looked at Lu Qing and said:

"how?"

"Fortunately, seasickness, I gave them medicine, and it will get better in a few hours." Lu Qing said.

"En." Tang Qingfeng nodded.

"I didn't expect seasickness to be so uncomfortable." Li Zhenwu said, thinking about the uncomfortable symptoms of Wu Xing'er and Lan Mo after they went to sea, he was slightly worried.

"Well, this symptom varies from person to person. Some people have no problem at all, while others have a strong reaction. Needless to say, Jiang Ling, Brother Li, you and Brother Tang have also been on boats many times, so you should resist. The two of them are far away from each other. In the south of Yunnan, it should be because there are very few boats." Lu Qing explained.

At this time, Jiang Ling was walking towards this side. He walked up to Tang Qingfeng and said:

"Old Tang, you're scaring the kids again."

"Huh?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

Jiang Ling pointed to Xiao Zhao and said:

"What did you tell him? Seeing how frightened he is, he even suspects that you are not human anymore."

Listening to Jiang Ling's explanation, Tang Qingfeng immediately understood and said:

"It's nothing, it's just his own imagination."

Jiang Ling looked at Tang Qingfeng and said:

"Tsk tsk, I can't blame him, who made you look like me?"

Hearing what Jiang Ling said, Tang Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and said:

"Well, Lao Jiang, if I were a mermaid, do you think I should eat your brain first, or your heart first?" Tang Qingfeng glanced at him and said:

"Oh, I forgot, you have no brains."

"Old Tang, you... have gone too far," Jiang Ling said.

"Old Jiang, you were the one who joked first." Tang Qingfeng said.

"I was just joking," Jiang Ling said.

"I was just joking." Tang Qingfeng said.

"........." Jiang Ling was speechless.

Lu Qing and Li Zhenwu looked at the two fighting and smiled slightly.

The big ship sailed on the sea for seven or eight days, and at the time of Shangyuan, it reached the waters near Mermaid Reef.

The sea area of ​​Mermaid Reef is calm, the moon is perfectly round, and a bright moon hangs high above the sea.Everyone looked at the full moon, feeling homesick in their hearts.

At this moment, an ethereal and pleasant male voice sounded.He sang sad songs in words he could not understand.The ballad is gentle and desolate, the tone blends with the rhythm of the waves, gently tapping, beating the souls of homesick people.

When everyone heard the singing, they came to the deck one after another, poked their heads out, and followed the direction of the sound source.

The source of the sound came from behind a huge reef not far away.Everyone looked at the reef, and when they were whispering, they saw a young man with a beautiful appearance and a cold face, slowly swimming out from behind the reef.And in his mouth, a sad song was being sung.

He looked at the crowd and sang silently.That desolate song seems to be telling:

'People from the ocean, come on, come here, and I will take you home.You are too far away from home, have you forgotten your hometown?Forgot a loved one?Forgot the land?

Listen, the sea is passing the call of the hometown, it is waiting for you, even if you abandon it, it will stay where it is, guarding it silently, waiting for your return. '

Everyone looked at the young man in the water, and listening to his singing, the sadness in their hearts amplified infinitely.

They stared at the young man closely, and the young man's face began to become hazy. His beautiful face was like a fairy in the bright moon. He came from the middle of the moon, born from the sea, and guided everyone on the way home with his singing.

Li Zhenwu looked at the person in the distance, and the moment he appeared, his peerless and cold face stunned Li Zhenwu for an instant.

"Brother Tang." Li Zhenwu looked at the people in the distance and called out softly, with infinite sadness suddenly rising in his heart.

At this time, the person in the distance gently raised his arm, and said softly to everyone on the boat:

"Come on, come here, I will take you home."

His voice was gentle and soft, melodious, like fairy music, attracting everyone to stretch out their hands, wanting to grab it, but they couldn't.They looked at the person in the distance, and with great desire, they jumped into the sea and slowly swam towards that person.

Li Zhenwu stretched out his arm slowly, and he saw Tang Qingfeng calling softly in the sea, calling him back.That voice, as soft as water, stirred the heartstrings.

He was about to jump down, but Tang Qingfeng hugged him into his arms, and a soft voice rang in his ears.

"Zhenwu, wake up, that's not me."

Tang Qingfeng just woke up from the illusion. In the illusion, the person who sang in the distance turned into the appearance of Li Zhenwu. He lightly took off his clothes and called him back with all kinds of tenderness.

He knows that everything is a phantom, but Zhenwu is definitely not like this.

He slowly withdrew his hand, seeing that Li Zhenwu beside him was about to jump off, he picked him up and put him in his arms.With gentle internal force, awaken Li Zhenwu who is in the illusion.

He looked at the dazed person in his arms and smiled lightly.

Li Zhenwu was awakened by the sound, looked at the person beside him, slightly shocked and said:

"Brother Tang, I seem to..."

"It's an illusion." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Illusion?" Li Zhenwu thought for a moment and said, "It's voice!"

"Yeah." Tang Qingfeng nodded, he waved his fan lightly, and a qi blade flew out quickly, attacking the people in the distance.

The person singing in the distance saw the air blade flying, quickly dived into the sea, and disappeared on the surface of the sea.

The singing stopped, and everyone woke up from the illusion.The people who fell into the water woke up from the illusion, looked at Yuan Dun's figure, and shouted in horror:

"Mermaid! It's a mermaid!" Then he hurriedly swam towards the big boat.

The people on the boat also woke up, and when they saw the people who fell into the water swimming back, they quickly dropped the ropes.

Everyone climbed the rope and quickly climbed onto the big boat.

The crew dragged their wet bodies and sat on the deck, looking at the distant reef in shock, feeling a burst of fear.

Behind the reef, a person asked the black shadow:

"Boss, why don't we go up?"

"The number of people is wrong. This boat can hold hundreds of people, but there were only dozens of people who fell into the water just now." Hei Ying said.

"Boss is saying..." the man said.

"Well, go back, there is still a chance." After the black shadow finished speaking, he jumped into the water with people, dozens of phantoms, like flying fish in the water, quickly swam towards the distance.

The people in the cabin heard the sound stopped and walked out one after another.Chen Hai looked at the crowd on the deck and said:

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Seeing Chen Hai approaching, Xiao Zhao looked at him in horror and said:

"Captain, mermaid, it's a mermaid!"

"What mermaid? Xiao Zhao, calm down." Chen Hai said.

Xiao Zhao came back to his senses after hearing what he said, and narrated what happened.

"What?!" Chen Hai was shocked.

When everyone saw him like this, they all opened their mouths to persuade:

"Yes, Captain, it's a mermaid. It's too dangerous. We were almost killed just now."

"Captain, it's not worth dying for money, let's go back."

"Yes, yes, this place is already the territory of pirates."

"Yeah, I heard that pirates are cruel, what should we do?"

After hearing what they said, Chen Hai looked at the crowd and said seriously:

"Everyone, I know you are afraid. It's just that our ship has come here, and there is no way to retreat. Not to mention whether the pirates will attack again, it is impossible for us to return safely just because of the food shortage."

"Captain, what should we do then? What if the mermaids and pirates come again, what shall we do?" asked a crew member.

Listening to his words, Chen Hai fell into silence.

Seeing that Chen Hai was silent, the crew started whispering one after another.

Seeing this scene, Tang Qingfeng said slowly, "That's not a mermaid."

"It's not a mermaid, what is that?" Chen Hai asked.

"It's an illusion." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"Illusion?" Chen Hai asked.

At this moment, Jiang Ling took Lu Qing out of the boat.

He looked at the embarrassed crowd and asked Tang Qingfeng:

"Old Tang, what's the matter?"

Tang Qingfeng briefly described the matter, and Jiang Ling said clearly: "Illusion? Is it the trick used by that king of the Moluo Kingdom last time?"

"Well, almost." Tang Qingfeng said: "Both rely on sound to induce hallucinations, but the Great Sage King is more inclined to internal force, and this person is more inclined to human heart."

Tang Qingfeng said, paused and said:

"He took advantage of the homesickness of the people on the voyage, appeared at the right time, confused everyone into an illusion, and then killed them one by one."

"Well." Li Zhenwu nodded, and continued: "You don't have to worry, you just need to plug your ears to isolate the hallucinogenic sound, so as to reduce the impact and not be confused by the illusion."

"Really? Is it really possible?" the crew asked.

"Yes, what Zhenwu said is feasible." Tang Qingfeng replied.

Listening to his answer, Chen Hai felt relieved a little, and then said to everyone:

"You have all heard it, do what the two sons said. Don't be afraid, I have already arranged a plan to deal with the pirates. This time, I will catch them all and eliminate harm for the people."

Hearing the captain's consolation and seeing his confident appearance, the crew all cheered up and said, "Okay, listen to the captain, we will wipe out this band of pirates this time and eliminate harm for the people."

"Okay." Everyone responded one after another, and then returned to their posts, preparing for the battle.

Seeing that everyone returned to their seats, Chen Hai also turned around and returned to the cab.

At this time, Lu Qing took Wu Xing'er and Lan Mo out of the cabin, and the two seemed to be much better than the previous few days.

Lu Qing looked at Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu and said:

"How are you?"

"It's okay." Li Zhenwu replied.

"The singing..." Lu Qing asked.

"It's an illusion." Li Zhenwu said.
