[Chapter 272 Would You Be Friends with a Fish?]
The mermaid Xia Lu took off her white robe in front of Yang Yiyu, but what Yang Yiyu saw was a beautiful face.
It was a normal beautiful face, but Yang Yiyu felt it was difficult to describe how beautiful it was, because as long as a woman’s face has regular features, each has its own characteristics.
It’s really hard to compare with anyone.
If you really want to describe a beautiful face, you can also use the word “celestial being descended to the earth”.
It’s mainly her temperament that gives Yang Yiyu a feeling of being out of touch with the world.
It seems that there is no expression on her face, as quiet as a pond, and she has a calm and steady atmosphere, as if nothing can affect her mind.
If possible, Yang Yiyu really wants to see what expression she had on her face when he revealed her identity just now.
After taking off the white robe, what appeared in Yang Yiyu’s sight was Xia Lu’s half-human, half-beast state.
In fact, she has limbs, hands and feet. From the part exposed from the clothes, there are satisfactory golden scales on her hands and feet.
According to the master, it is impossible for her to evolve into a human with her current level of cultivation. It is rare for her to have the human form she has now. At least her face is exactly the same as that of a normal human.
The only difference is that the body below the neck should be covered with scales.
So she is half human and half beast.
There is no doubt that Xia Lu’s transformation must have been caused by some kind of adventure, or by swallowing some natural treasures.
But looking at her figure, it is convex where it should be convex, and curvy where it should be curvy, which is quite attractive.
But Yang Yiyu suddenly imagined that if she took off her clothes, the scales all over her body… He shuddered.
After getting rid of the absurd thoughts in his mind, Yang Yiyu looked at Xia Lu and said, “Well…you, you, you…how did you become the one who protects Jiuzhou?”
After the mermaid Xia Lu glanced at Yang Yiyu, she slowly said, “I was originally an ordinary dragon fish in a small river of the Yangtze River tributary. During the Yuan and Mongolian era, the orthodoxy of Jiuzhou was stolen by the Yuan and Mongolian dynasties. At that time, there was an Zhenguan Qi-refining organization that fought with foreign countries to uphold the orthodoxy of Jiuzhou.
Once during the chaos of war, when the two armies were fighting, the Mongolian army’s water storage broke the dam, and I was in the river and suffered an unexpected disaster… At that time, a Jiuzhou Qi-refining master followed the army and saw me struggling in the mud with my last breath. He saved my life and brought me back to his dojo.
After that, I came back to life. In the pond of the dojo, I listened to the chanting of scriptures and the discussion of Taoism every day. Over time, my spiritual wisdom was opened, and I also heard some methods of breathing in the essence of heaven and earth, so I practiced every day in the pond.
Ninety-eight years later It was when he left the mountain. At that time, he stood by the pond and chanted a poem full of tragic grandeur. I didn’t understand the meaning of the poem at all, but I could feel the sadness of my Taoist benefactor. When
he was leaving, I didn’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional. I didn’t know whether he knew that I had opened my spiritual intelligence and understood what he said, or whether he had great magical powers. He said to the pond: Six hundred years later, the world will change, and the orthodoxy of Kyushu will return to the hands of the Han family again, and the world will be unified. The pond is refining Taoism, and the lotus seeds that can be eaten will turn into wind and cloud. If you have achievements in the future, I hope you can help me protect the orthodoxy of Kyushu.
Later, he left and never returned. I have been absorbing the essence of heaven and earth in that pond. One day six hundred years later, that day was the White Dew in the twenty-four solar terms.
A white lotus really grew in the pond, illuminated by the essence of heaven and earth. Overnight, the white lotus blossomed and produced lotus seeds. The essence of heaven and earth contained in it is rare.
At that moment, I suddenly understood that this was the opportunity arranged for me by the Taoist priest. After swallowing the lotus seeds, I transformed into a human that day.
The Xia surnamed who followed the Taoist priest was named Lu. I was grateful to my lifesaver. He had no children. From that day on, I was his daughter – Xia Lu, and I respectfully called him father.
Later, I traveled around the world and found out that at this time, the Han family in Jiuzhou had indeed entered another era of great changes. The Republic of China was in war. A few years later, I understood that the Taoist priest had entrusted me to protect Jiuzhou before his death.
The Shenlongtan organization was established at that time. My life was saved by my father, and my transformation was also due to my father’s credit.
After successful practice, I also knew that I was a dragon fish, a descendant of a true dragon. With my cultivation, I should fulfill my father’s entrustment.
From the Anti-Japanese War to the present Shenlongtan, I have never dared to forget my father’s orders and his kindness to protect Jiuzhou. State is my mission.
You also saw that although I have transformed, I am still half beast and half human. If I want to do things among the human race, I have to cover up my traces, so I have always been very mysterious in Shenlongtan.
In fact, who can understand my loneliness? You are the only one who has seen through my identity in all these years. At first, I thought of killing you to silence you and not let you know my identity, but I haven’t had anyone to talk to in all these years…
From the moment you appeared, I felt a very vast aura on you, which made me feel that you seemed to have a similar story to me. It’s funny to say that just now I had an illusion of the same kind, so I felt that I couldn’t kill you, and you didn’t do anything wrong~” After
Xia Lu finished speaking, she paused and looked at Yang Yiyu, and then said something that surprised him.
She said, “Are you willing to be friends with a fish?”
Looking at Xia Lu, Yang Yiyu was actually deeply touched at this moment.
First of all, Yang Yiyun believed her story because her eyes told him that she didn’t speak. The story sounded a bit mysterious, but as the master said, there is nothing impossible in the cultivation of the truth.
Yang Yiyun had great respect for the mermaid Xia Lu, who was grateful and devoted to the human race and Jiuzhou.
A fish demon could repay the kindness in this way, and no one could compare.
What’s more, she was really helping the human race in Jiuzhou.
In her words, she regarded the Taoist priest who saved her as a father.
What kind of touching is this?
Yang Yiyun herself felt that she was amazing.
She could hear deep loneliness in Xia Lu’s eyes and tone.
Come to think of it, she has cultivated for hundreds of years to become a half-human and half-beast, and has come to this day from the Anti-Japanese War, established the Shenlongtan, and helped the unification of Kyushu. For nearly a hundred years, she has not shown her true face.
First, she dared not, and second, she could not.
She persisted, and you can imagine the hardships in the middle.
No one talked to her, and no one accompanied her to do too many things she wanted to do.
This is a mermaid who thinks of herself as a human, but is regarded as a demon in the eyes of humans.
How can she not be lonely?
So when Yang Yiyun heard her ask with eager sincerity, “Are you willing to be friends with a fish?”, Yang Yiyun suddenly felt a little sad.
Maybe this is the real mermaid.
Not the mysterious Shenlongtan owner in the eyes of everyone outside.
She is a woman after all.
“I am willing to be your friend.” Yang Yiyun looked at her very seriously and said.
In an instant, Yang Yiyun saw the faint tears shining in her golden eyes, and then she smiled.
Suddenly, she extended a hand to Yang Yiyun, a hand full of golden scales, and then said: “Hello, my name is Xia Lu~”
Yang Yiyun was stunned, and suddenly realized that this was Xia Lu’s standard for learning humans.
She stretched out her hand and smiled: “My name is Yang Yiyun~”
In fact, this is the two of them getting to know each other again.
Yang Yiyun became friends with a mermaid.
Looking at the smile on Xia Lu’s face, Yang Yiyun suddenly felt that she was really simple.
A question arose in his heart, how did she rule Shenlongtan with such simplicity?
In the subsequent chat, Yang Yiyun realized that Xia Lu was indeed very simple.
In fact, she really didn’t manage Shenlongtan, but let her subordinates manage it.
The real role of Xia Lu, the mysterious owner of the pond, is deterrence.
When Shenlongtan encounters a difficult problem that cannot be solved, or an enemy, it is time for her to come forward.
Rather than saying that she is the mysterious master of Shenlongtan, it is better to say that the old monsters in Shenlongtan regard her as a nuclear weapon.
So her naivety is not without reason.
When asked about the ancient sects, Xia Lu said: “Those ancient sects have actually always been in the secular world. On the surface, the current Guwu family is their spokesperson. Just like Shenlongtan, the so-called mountain closure of those ancient sects is actually just finding a place like Shenlongtan.” Yang Yiyu
then asked the question he wanted to know most: “Are there many innate masters in the ancient sects? How much do you know?”
