[Main Ancient Sword] Depend on each other

This was the seventh day of their voyage at sea. Unlike the past, it was extremely sweltering. Even Li Yi lost the good mood to look at the scenery, so she nestled in the cabin and watched Li Chuhuang playing the piano.I really don't understand why he can still be so comfortable in this weather, she is so hot that she is sweating even though she is dressed so thickly.

"Chuhuang, aren't you hot?" Li Yi finally couldn't help asking after the song was over.

"Cultivators of immortality are more resistant to cold and heat than ordinary people. If Xiaoyi improves her cultivation, she will not suffer as much as she does now." Li Chuhuang was obviously making sarcastic remarks, knowing that she practiced hard but didn't Progress also said such things to provoke her. "However, it's really weird that it's so sultry and hot. Presumably there will be changes in the weather."

As expected, at noon, the boat boss brought bad news—there might be a storm in the afternoon.However, he has changed the course based on his experience. If there are no major problems, he should be able to avoid the center, but he will still pass the edge of the storm, asking them to be prepared for bumps.

Li Chuhuang remained calm, even the sky pillar was broken back then, presumably it was just a mere storm, and he didn't take it to heart.Li Yi was a little excited, thinking that it would be better luck to encounter a storm once out at sea!It is estimated that the captain of the boat who is waiting in battle knows what she is thinking at the moment, and will be so angry that he will throw her into the sea to feed the fish.

In the afternoon, the sweltering air began to cool slowly, and the cool breeze took away the heat of the morning.The sky darkened unknowingly, and the dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, blocking the sunlight.Looking from a distance, you can still see purple lightning flashing across the dark cloud from time to time.

The boat was at the edge of the dark clouds, and two pieces of sky with completely different colors could be clearly distinguished.One half is sunny and sunny, while the other half is cloudy with lightning and thunder.The wind gradually picked up, the waves were no longer smooth, and the boat swayed in the wind and waves.Li Yi could only hold onto the mast to stabilize his body.

Accompanied by a deafening thunder, the bean-sized raindrops poured down without warning, thoroughly drenching Li Yi who was still standing on the deck looking at the sky in amazement.She seemed quite happy, and walked unsteadily into the cabin.It is important to look fresh, but the body is more important. If you catch a cold, it will be bad.

"Chuhuang, it's raining heavily outside, why don't you go and have a look?"

"What's so beautiful about this storm, you'd better dry off the water and change your clothes. If you catch a cold, you will be very happy." He picked up the towel and wiped her face vigorously, successfully rubbing Li Yi's face After becoming a red apple, he put down his hand very satisfied.

When Li Yi came back after changing his clothes, he found that he had set up the piano, and he looked very excited, so he couldn't help laughing.

"Talk about me, aren't you also full of interest?" Li Yi also turned out her piano and put it beside him. "Let's play together."

"Oh? What song does Xiaoyi want to play?"

Li Yi didn't answer any more, just pursed her lips and smiled.Raising his right hand, the strings of the piano sounded, and the thick and thick sound of the piano combined with the sound of the wind and waves outside the window formed a special and magnificent sound.

The sound of the piano is really worthy of being the sound of all things in the world.In two years, she was no longer the alien who knew nothing back then.

Looking at Li Yifei's smiling face, Li Chuhuang felt that it was indeed the right decision to take her on this trip.Unlike him, once Li Yi concentrates on playing the piano, he has no time for anything else.When Li Chuhuang played the piano, he did not forget to allocate some spiritual power to stabilize the hull.It is one thing that he is not afraid of the storm, but quite another.

The piano music of the two gradually improved, and the sound of the wind and waves outside the boat became louder and louder. Li Yi frowned suddenly, and the rhythm of his subordinates suddenly became chaotic. With a sound of "Zheng", one of the seven strings broke.Regardless of her bleeding fingers, she stood up with a bulging face and looked out the window.

"Who's singing?"

"I didn't expect that in this weather, there are still people who have such a good mood to sing at sea...it's rare." In the end, it was Li Chuhuang who was well-mannered and not angry at all. "There is a small island not far to the southwest, and the singer must be on that island. Xiaoyi, are you interested in going there?"

"Of course I will, she has to pay for my strings!"

Li Chuhuang ordered the boss of the boat to sail the boat to the island, thinking that he could temporarily avoid the storm, but he was very supportive.It's just the singing that the two of them said, in this strong wind and waves, the boss of the boat didn't hear it at all.

As the boat approached, a few people realized that the island was really small, with a radius of only two or three acres. Just the island grew some plants that had never been seen before, and they had already covered the entire ground. Lush and dense forest.

The singing came faintly from the other side of the island, and as we got closer, we could feel that the female's singing seemed a bit melancholy.Li Chuhuang greeted the boss of the boat, and led Li Yi to the island.

The other party didn't seem to notice their approach, or didn't bother to pay attention, so when the two walked through the woods, they saw a woman with long green hair sitting on a rock by the sea, singing songs that neither of them understood.

"So it's a shark." Although Li Chuhuang didn't understand that language, he had heard it before.

"Merman? Is it... a mermaid?" Li Yi immediately focused his gaze on the woman's lower body. Sure enough, below the woman's slender waist, a fish tail covered with scales was gently swaying with the waves, looking coquettish. Different but full of charm.The first time she saw the legendary creature, she instantly put the matter of the strings on the back burner.

"Beyond the South China Sea, there are sharks who live in the water like fish. They don't waste their weaving, and when their eyes weep, they can produce pearls." Li Chuhuang shook his head, "The bright pearls are dazzling, but they come from bitter tears. People sigh."

After the merman girl sang, she flicked her long fish tail and turned around slowly.Her forehead has special fish scales, with a light gold glow, and a pair of emerald green eyes staring at them mournfully with deep pain.

"Were the two playing the piano just now?" Her voice was slender and ethereal, as if it was echoing all the time, long and quiet. "Sorry, I was reminded by the sound of the piano and disturbed the two of you."

As she spoke, she gently brushed the long hair blown by the sea breeze behind her ears, and looked at the other end of the sea.

"Does the girl have an old friend who likes to play the piano?"

"Well, he... is different from you. He doesn't like cloudy and rainy days. He likes to play the piano when the weather is sunny. His piano sound is also full of sunshine..." The mermaid woman seemed to have something to say. Speaking of which, she didn't care whether Li Yi and the others were listening, she just wanted to express the feelings accumulated in her heart for many years.

Many years ago, she was an ordinary mermaid girl in the tribe, chasing the sea breeze and playing in the sea with her brothers and sisters carefree every day.Until one day, she rescued a human youth who fell into the water in the sea.

He lives in Jimo and is the youngest son of a grocer in the town.He doesn't follow his father to do business like his elder brother, but is just a down-and-out luthier who makes a living by performing in restaurants.That day, as a luthier, he boarded a rich merchant's boat, but encountered a storm in the sea. If the merman woman hadn't rescued him, he would have died in the belly of the fish like everyone else.

The luthier is grateful for the life-saving grace of the merman woman, and later often plays the piano for her by the sea, and the merman will also sing along with his piano.They thought they would always be so happy, with high mountains and flowing water, zither and zither.However, when the luthier's elder brother returned to Jimo and discovered his younger brother's secret lover——

He lied that he understood his younger brother and agreed that the relationship between him and the merman was just a matchmaker's words at the orders of his parents, and he wanted the merman girl's parents and brothers to come to meet and discuss their marriage.Both the qin master and the merman were pure, kind and innocent people, so they believed his words, but when the merman woman came to the master's house with her family, they were all caught by the elder brother who had already laid an ambush.

The elder brother of the luthier coveted the ability of a mermaid to turn tears into pearls, and sold all her relatives and friends to high-ranking officials. The luthier risked his life to save her and put her into the sea, but he lost his life because of his frantic knife. life.

On that day, she lost the person she loved the most, lost all her relatives, friends... and her enemy was also killed by other people because the value of the mermaid was too high, and she also lost the goal of revenge.

"All of them will never come back..." But she could only sing the old songs over and over again, immersed in warm memories. "I'm so tired, I really want to be unable to sleep, so that I can always have a beautiful dream, in which I'm still chasing the sea breeze as carefree as before, with all my relatives and friends by my side, even if it's not such a dream, as long as you don't So sad..."

"If this is the girl's wish, it's not impossible to realize it at all."

"Chu Huang has a solution?" Li Yi raised her head in surprise and looked at the man beside her. "If you want to help her, you should only use the soul-returning fairy dream technique recorded in the book, but although the existence of this spell is recorded in the book, it should have been lost now."

"Xiaoyi thinks too much. Changing the past is beyond human power after all, and the dream of Huihunxian is not real, it's just a fabrication." Li Chuhuang shook his head, denying Li Yi's idea. "Do you still remember, Menghunzhi?"

"Is it the fairy grass that was born in Shengzhou, East China Sea? It is said that if its seeds are planted in the body, it will slowly germinate and grow, and its host body will gradually fall asleep, forever only having happy dreams. "Li Yi has indeed seen it in ancient books, "But... this should be just a legend, right?"

"The so-called legend is just that it has not been discovered by mortals." He said, cupping his hands at the merman woman who silently listened to their conversation. "Girl, if there is such a fairy grass, are you willing to try it?"

"Really... will you always have happy dreams?" The woman's eyes lit up, and she no longer looked lifeless. "No sorrow, no pain, always happy..."

"My sister, Menghunzhi is just a legend, do you really want to try it?" No one understands the feeling of living in a dream better than her. The more beautiful everything in the dream, the more hopeless everything reality gives you . "Even if its legends are true, they are just dreams. No matter how beautiful and true the dreams are, they are all false."

"Little sister, you are still young, and you have never experienced this kind of despair, so you will not understand my feelings." Yuren shook his head sadly and smiled sadly. "Sir, if I don't bother you, can you help me find that fairy grass?"

"Since it's the girl's wish, I will help you."

Li Yi looked up at the merman woman's expectant face, opened her mouth, but did not make any objection.
