There are bandits in Zhongshan

In ancient times, the god in charge of Nanming Tianchi was Kunpeng, who entered the water, and Peng flew into the sky. According to legend, he fell in love with mortals and gave birth to two sons. In the sea, the two sons chose a place to live, and each reproduced their offspring. The former is a featherman, and the latter is a mermaid.

Ordinary people need to absorb the aura of heaven and earth to improve their cultivation and experience thunder calamity before they can become immortals, but the feathered people and mermen who are descendants of gods are born with divine power, although the divine power in their blood and bones is gradually weakening after several generations of transmission. Declining, but still not to be underestimated.In several great battles in ancient times, mermen participated in them. Later, Emperor Haotian divided the three realms to save all living beings, and all the descendants of the gods went to the upper realm together.

However, some records mentioned that a small number of them stayed in the lower realm because they were attached to the mortal world, including one of the Nanhai mermaids. The number of descendants left in the lower realm was very small. , the mermaids have also disappeared. For tens of thousands of years, there have been occasional mermaids circulating in the world, but the mermaids themselves have never been seen. Over time, it has become one of the legendary legends. Even the mermaids are also said to be obtained by monks. It's just called the Merman.

It is said that the sharks are all beautiful. There was a mortal emperor who fell into the water while patrolling the South China Sea and was rescued by the sharks. After a quick glance, he was astonished as a heavenly man. After returning to the royal capital, he asked the most famous painter at that time to draw a portrait of a shark girl according to his oral instructions. The famous sea map, I observed it for a long time after it was painted, but finally felt that its appearance should only be in the sky, even the national champion Danqing can hardly retain its charm.

It is also said that the shark's voice is like fairy music, and the sailors heard the voice under the moon and lost their way and disappeared.

Ruoye really matched all these rumors about her beauty and her voice.

"No wonder she said something like 'you monks'." Zhong Mingzhu suddenly realized and nodded. She always thought that Ruoye was a fish demon, but she forgot that the demon cultivator was also one of the monks.

At most, demon cultivators would say "you human beings" instead of "you monks".

"But don't the mermaids live in the South China Sea?" She thought of the records in the Book of Luo, which never mentioned that there were mermaids in the East China Sea, but mentioned that there were real dragons in the East China Sea. In the East China Sea."

Baili Ningqing seemed to be still immersed in the annoyance of saying the wrong thing, and said in a bad mood: "I don't know, maybe their mermaid clan migrated to the East China Sea after slaughtering the dragon."

"But hasn't your husband been looking for her in the East China Sea for hundreds of years?" Zhong Mingzhu hit the nail on the head, "I still want to catch her for medicine."

"I don't know." Baili Ningqing threw out these three words dryly, as if he had made up his mind not to say anything.

Zhong Mingzhu didn't cling to him, but thought about it for himself. The word Donghai is not unfamiliar, and Zhu Maolin is very capable of looking for mermaids in the East China Sea. It is impossible that such a thing did not involve other incidents.

She recalled what she had heard before, and casually wrote a few names related to Donghai on the ground.

Ruoye, Ye Shenzhou, Zhu Maolin and——

Her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Could it be related to the Venerable Guhong of our sect? The sea monster who fought with him at that time was actually a mermaid?"

Venerable Guhong went to the East China Sea more than 700 years ago to look for opportunities, and fought with sea monsters for nearly 400 years, and Ruoye happened to be trapped on Lingdao in order to avoid the bamboo forest at that time, which shows that Guhong Venerable was fighting with sea monsters at the time of bamboo Maolin is also in the East China Sea.

If it was a small monk like her, hundreds of thousands of them would not attract attention in the East China Sea, but Venerable Guhong and Zhu Maolin are both powerful in the void stage, and just one of them is enough to turn the entire East China Sea upside down , Don't say that both of them are there.

As soon as she said this, Baili Ningqing straightened up suddenly, and her previous cynical attitude was swept away. She looked Zhong Mingzhu up and down, with strange eyes.

Just when Zhong Mingzhu felt hairy and almost wanted to run away, she suddenly heard her laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhong Mingzhu was puzzled.

"It's nothing, I just understand why you haven't been beaten to death yet." Baili Ningqing took a bowl of wine and drank it down in one gulp, and finally said leisurely, "At least what's in your mind isn't all waste."

"Why are you swearing at people!" Zhong Mingzhu was angry, and shouted, "Your brain is trash, no, you don't have any at all."

But this time, Baili Ningqing didn't turn his face like the previous few times. Instead, he waved his hand lazily, threw a bowl over, and said, "Forget it, drink with me. I'm in a good mood today, so why don't you give me a little favor?" Reveal something."

Back then Venerable Gu Hong went to the East China Sea, and when the Tianyi School was attacked by Lu Li, he still had no intention of returning to help. Zhu Maolin followed him to the East Sea out of curiosity. At that time, Venerable Gu Hong was fighting with the sea monster. , he didn't know the reason so he didn't intervene, but watched the battle with his spiritual knowledge from a very far distance, and accidentally found that there were creatures with fish tails appearing under the raging waves, without the aura of a monk, but with amazing power in the water, manipulating the sea monster to entangle the Guhong Venerable The fight did not fail, Zhu Maolin's master once searched for ancient creatures in Kyushu, so he immediately discovered that the fishtail creature was a mermaid.

Sharks have the blood and bones of gods, and Zhu Maolin inherited a medicine named Changsheng Yin, which needs to use shark blood as medicine. He wanted to beg for a few pots of blood, but the other party thought that he and Venerable Guhong were accomplices, and summoned all the creatures in the sea to attack them. It was probably at that time that Ruoye separated from his tribe and was trapped on Spirit Island.

Hearing this, Zhong Mingzhu sneered unceremoniously: "Is he stupid, asking someone for blood directly, and those who didn't know thought he was going to stew fish soup."

Baili Ningqing snorted softly, and retorted disapprovingly: "The merman is too stupid to do it before he has heard what he said. They hide on the bottom of the sea and there are few roads. Do you have any better ideas?"

"Of course we will form an alliance with Venerable Gu Hong when he is fighting with them, and then wait for the opportunity to stop the bloodletting."

"The Tianyi sect sect is really blind, it would let a despicable villain like you enter."

Fortunately, Zhong Mingzhu was able to put gold on his face with a smile after being ridiculed by her like this, and said: "This is called a soldier who never tires of deceit. I am resourceful."

"Fart." Baili Ningqing rolled her eyes and continued drinking.

Seeing that she was too lazy to say much, Zhong Mingzhu raised his eyebrows triumphantly, took a sip of wine, and continued to ask: "Why does Guhong Venerable have a grudge with the sharks?"

Baili Ningqing shook the wine bowl, shook his head, and replied: "I really don't know. They have been fighting for hundreds of years before they died down. I don't know if they were tired or reached a consensus. After that Venerable Guhong went back to heaven and closed himself to death, while the mermaids dived into the deep sea, we don't know what happened, maybe they fought because they didn't like each other."

"Do you think everyone is the same as you?" Zhong Mingzhu was extremely dismissive of such thoughts, and then thoughtfully said, "Maybe Ruoye will know."

"Then you can ask her, or you can find a chance to tie her here, the mermaid seems to be not as good on land as in the water." Baili Ningqing was already a little drunk at this time, drinking bowl after bowl. , almost talking nonsense, after saying that, he jumped up, Zhong Mingzhu almost thought that she was going to find Ruoye, but saw her thumping her hands as if thinking of something, and then lying down lazily, clapping Looking at the wine jar, he said, "By the way, I remembered, there is another strange thing after that."

"What's the matter?"

"The Sea of ​​Sumeru opened after Venerable Guhong returned, and none of the three elders of the Tianyi Sect's three major transformation stages stayed behind at the sect. This is unreasonable. The Tianyi Sect has always been conservative and cautious. Zhihai has been opened three times, the first two times, Venerable Guhong was in charge, and half of the masters stayed in the sect, and the third time Venerable Guhong was closed to death, the three elders came out in full force, don't you think it's strange?"

"It's indeed a little unreasonable, but the opportunity of the Sea of ​​Sumeru comes once every 500 years, and Lu Li's next day is a case that no one dares to commit for hundreds of years. It's not surprising that the three elders went to Jiuyi Mountain together to improve their cultivation. ?”

"Yeah, even if it's an orthodox sect, its own cultivation is the heaviest, so I just say it's weird." Baili Ningqing didn't know what to think of. Laughing out loud, he said, "Your master is a different kind. Do you know that in other places, how many monks fought for that point of cultivation, and even risked their lives? Ye Chenzhou gave those spirit stones It would not be an exaggeration to exchange dozens of lives for the elixir, but she is fine, seeing you so blatantly swallowing it up for selfishness, she has no objection at all."

"Hey, my master is not deeply involved in the world, and he doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister. I'm taking care of it for her." Zhong Mingzhu touched his nose and argued like this.

Changli once said that she had never used spirit stone pills in her cultivation, so she was very confident when she took them, but now that Baili Ningqing mentioned them, she felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't want to give in.

"You are the one with evil intentions around her. In my opinion, she can only avoid being killed by the traitor if she expels you from the teacher as soon as possible."

"Go away, don't even think about separating us, master and apprentice!"

Why is this woman so vitriolic, Zhong Mingzhu is about to get angry again.

"Master and apprentice? How many sword moves do you know?" Baili Ningqing said maliciously, "Anyone from the Tianyi School, as long as they don't have a broken hand, they are more like Xiao Changli's apprentice than you."

"I've kowtowed nine times, made great gifts and served tea to respect teachers!" Zhong Mingzhu pointed at her nose and said convincingly, "And it was my master who named me to take me as a disciple. It's useless for you to be envious, huh!"

"Then Xiao Changli probably has bad eyesight, so I didn't see your human face and animal heart."

"Are you a dog!" Zhong Mingzhu jumped up, dropped the bowl, and started to talk to her, "I just hit you, stared at me and bit me, and my master and you are not related, Please be polite and call her Fairy Changli."

"She drank my wine and practiced my exercises. She is naturally my apprentice. Why can't I call her Xiao Changli?"

"You, you, you! You are forcing a good man into prostitution!" Zhong Mingzhu scolded angrily, and as soon as he spoke, he realized that this seemed to be scolding his master, and felt that something was wrong, so he said again, "No, it is difficult for others. Master is a righteous disciple, how can he be your apprentice, and the wine and exercises don’t belong to Zhu Maolin, how could they become yours?”

"My husband's is mine." Baili Ningqing said with a smile without changing his face, "Since we have become a Taoist couple, why should we divide between you and me? Don't you think it's a disgraceful disciple."

Only then did Zhong Mingzhu realize that this woman was taking advantage of her by going around in circles for a long time. What is your master's master? Doesn't it mean "I am your grandfather"?

She really wanted to hit someone, but when she was looking around for something that could throw Baili Ningqing's face, she was suddenly caught by the woman and taken to the top of the mountain far away from Changli Yungong.

"What are you doing?" She was a little dizzy from this tugging. Baili Ningqing probably did it on purpose, without setting up any protective barrier for her, just grabbed her by the collar and dragged her away, and even turned around. Made several circles.

"Of course it is to accumulate merit for my good apprentice." Baili Ningqing threw her aside, then sat on the ground, put the half-drunk wine jar aside, and continued to greet Zhong Mingzhu to accompany her When she drank, she said half-truthfully, "Fortunately, you drink well, otherwise drinking alone would be too boring, but it's a pity that there are no appetizers."

Zhong Mingzhu rubbed her shoulders that were about to fall apart, she felt that the woman must have had a problem with her, she was so aggressive, and she still had the face to beg for food.

Master still treats her well.

Thinking of Changli, she became even more depressed, and felt that next time she had to tell her master to go ahead when the situation was not right, and not to fight to the death at every turn.

"What kind of meritorious deeds?" She asked, now that only Changli was there, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, so she even accused Baili Ningqing of wanting to take Changli as a disciple, ignoring the big dream of spring and autumn, and went to Stretching his neck from the edge of the cliff, he looked down.

"Of course it's killing monsters."

As soon as Baili Ningqing finished speaking, Zhong Mingzhu saw a streak of black air in the forest slowly moving towards Changli's direction.

In the south of Yangshan Mountain, there are monsters and beasts, and they stayed here for this reason.

"Is this the man-eating monster? But my master is still practicing kung fu? Are you the one who tricks his apprentice?" She raised her foot to kick Baili Ningqing.

Her kick was not much different from a mosquito bite. Baili Ningqing ignored it and just drank by himself. After drinking enough, he said slowly, "That monster is inhuman, but it's not that it has no brains. Of course it wants to swallow your master." I won’t choose now, but wait for the moment when she finishes her exercises, when her spiritual power will be most abundant.”

Hearing that Chang Li would not be in danger for a while, Zhong Mingzhu sat down, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, then teased: "Why are you so experienced, don't you swallow people less?"

Baili Ningqing glared at her, her unhappy look looked a bit like Ruoye when she was said to be a fish spirit, and said: "Although they are all monsters, but I am a demon cultivator, they are monsters, your master didn't taught you the difference?"

If non-human beings want to cultivate into immortals, they must first cultivate their spiritual consciousness, and then they can transform into human form. The ones who fail are either completely destroyed, or escaped and become monsters. They are powerful, but their habits are still like wild animals, and they often cause disasters.

Zhong Mingzhu naturally knew about it, but she learned it from reading the classics on her own. Her master has absorbed wind and dew and devoted himself to practicing swordsmanship since birth, and he may know less about other things than ordinary people who hear it.

The cultivation level of monsters when they transform into form is equivalent to that of human monks at the end of the foundation establishment period, so most of the monsters have the cultivation level of golden core. The spiritual power is for one's own use, and those who are powerful can even reach the level of turning into a god.

At that time, it is not one side that will cause disaster, but the whole world.

Thousands of years ago, Wu Hui used the Cangwu sword to kill a golden armored monster, and that golden armored monster had the power to change the color of the world.

"What level of cultivation is this?" Zhong Mingzhu asked, she could only see that the evil spirit emitted was not to the extent that she could resist, but she couldn't tell how powerful it was, so she could only turn to Baili Ningqing for help.

In exchange for a painless answer:

"A little bit better than your master."

A little bit stronger, isn't it the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, Zhong Mingzhu just took a sip of wine and was choked.

"Actually, you are planning to feed my master to that monster as rations!"

Monsters are inhuman, and when they go mad, even two or three monks of the same level may not be able to control them.

"With me here, your master will never lose a single hair." Baili Ningqing assured, then sighed softly, and said, "I'm just a little strange."

"What's strange? Is it strange how monsters eat?" Zhong Mingzhu was not angry.

This time, Baili Ningqing didn't argue with her, but patiently explained.

"The sword of the sword cultivator is consistent with the state of mind. Moreover, they are all enlightened by fighting. If there are too many people killed, it is inevitable that there will be evil spirits. Just like that Wu Hui, the evil spirit on his body is much heavier than that monster." This time Baili Ningqing didn't shout like an old dog, but there was a flash of murderous intent in her eyes, and her expression calmed down when Chang Li was mentioned, "But Xiao Changli's sword had killing intent before, but she I don't have any, not to mention murderous intent, but no hostility at all, it's hard not to care."

"So you want to see my master's sword again?"

"Yes."

Zhong Mingzhu suddenly remembered the attic full of swords on the northernmost side of Chongming Residence. The moment she first stepped into it, it was as if she had strayed into an ancient battlefield where the drums of war were shaking. , cold to the bone.

There is Changli's training place.

She stayed there for nearly 200 years from the establishment of the foundation to the birth of the soul.
