"Sou Shen Ji" has a cloud: "Beyond the South China Sea, there are sharks who live in water like fish. They do not waste their weaving skills. When their eyes cry, they can produce pearls."
When Emperor Qin swept across Liuhe and ruled the world, he later sent alchemist Xu Fu to cross the fusang eastwards, with 3,000 boys and girls to search for the immortal mountains overseas, in order to seek elixir of life. Later, this also seems to have become the ultimate pursuit of the emperors of all dynasties.
After they took this splendid country into their arms, the only worry was how to enjoy the wealth and honor in this world for a long time.
Quanzhou is a desolate place. Although it is close to the sea, because of the lack of trade routes, most of the people are poor and rely on fishing for a living. Only prisoners who have committed serious crimes will be exiled here.
Legend has it that many years ago, there were traces of the merman clan here. Their upper body was human, bounded by their waists, and their bottom was fishtail. They were good at weaving silk yarn that was hard to find. Its ointment can be lit as an ever-bright lamp, placed in the inner room, the dark fragrance is surging, the wind and rain will not invade, and it will not be extinguished for ten thousand years.
But that is a legend many years ago, no one knows if it is true, but it does not prevent the current monarch of Da Chu from using a lot of manpower and material resources to find the one in ten thousand possibility.
There was a group of people on the edge of a cliff near the sea in Quanzhou at some point, with their hair in high buns, decorated with Tai Chi crown jade, white robes covered with black gauze, black and white silk sash around their waists, hanging fish dragon tokens, all wearing long swords, dressed in ordinary clothes. No two.
If there are people with extensive knowledge here, they will recognize that this is a person from Tianyi. They originally belonged to Taoism, and there are many strange people in the door. Later, for some unknown reason, they returned to the imperial court and were used by the Chu royal family. Men Hongguan, who is in the position of national teacher, specializes in alchemy and medicine for the emperor, in order to achieve longevity.
However, a few months ago, Hong Guanwei suddenly became seriously ill, and Emperor Zhaoning ordered his eldest disciple Qu Chunfeng to temporarily serve as the national teacher, and led a group of people to go to the coast of Quanzhou to look for the traces of the merman, and all officials from various places listened to his deployment.
If there are people with extraordinary talents under the Tianyi Sect, they can master the subtle and mysterious arts. Ming Xuan is one of them. He used a mermaid scale that was long-held in the Chu Palace treasury a few years ago as a reference, and used the astrolabe to detect it. With nothing to gain, he couldn't help but look at the man who had been standing on the edge of the cliff for a long time, and said with a hesitant expression, "...Senior brother, are there really mermaids here?"
The man was dressed in a white robe, with an extraordinary character, and the corners of his clothes were blown away by the wind. He neither used mystic arts to detect nor search for mermaids, but frowned and looked at the turbulent sea in the distance, as if remembering something old. , his eyes looked a little surprised, and when he heard Ming Xuan's words, he returned to his senses.
Qu Chunfeng came down from the cliff, his voice was light, and he couldn't hear the emotional ups and downs: "Master said yes, then yes, I will obey orders, and there is no need to say more."
Qu Chunfeng is the eldest disciple of Hong Guanwei. He is extremely talented. His parents died when he was young, and he was adopted by his master. Comparing with Hong Guanwei, its strength is evident.
If it is said that the merman only exists in the imagination of the world, then the Tianyimen sect master Hong Guanwei has broken this rumor. It was only 150 years since the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, the imperial power has changed, and four emperors have been replaced successively, but he has already lived to be more than 200 years old.
More than 200 years old, in this world where there are years of famine, wars and turmoil, and people live to the age of 60 to be considered longevity, what is the concept
Emperor Zhaoning once summoned Hong Guanwei to talk in detail all night in the palace, discussing the art of longevity. The content is unknown, but there were rumors at that time that he fell into the water when he was young, and he met a shark who gave medicine and changed his constitution. Live a little longer than others.
The prefect of Quanzhou was eager to take credit, and he secretly prepared ships for officers and soldiers without waiting for the notification. Seeing Qu Chunfeng and others coming down from the cliff, he rushed forward with his official robe in a panic, and said with a smile on his face: "National Normal University People, the lower official has prepared the boat to go to sea, ready to go at any time, please ask me to wait... "
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by someone.
"No need," Qu Chunfeng said, "Let them all leave this place. Without my order, don't act rashly. If you disturb the mermaid, you will die."
The Quanzhou Prefect thought that he had been an official for most of his life in this place where birds don't shit. He had never seen a merman before, so what was there to be disturbed? Since it was boring, I had to order someone to withdraw.
Qu Chunfeng didn't go to the inn to rest. He ordered everyone from Tianmen to wait nearby. He walked to the beach near the bottom of the cliff, and finally took off the long sword behind him and sat cross-legged on a rock.
The brothers and sisters looked at him and thought he was cultivating. After all, this senior brother was withdrawn by nature, taciturn, and always liked to be alone.
The waves kept crashing against the reef cliffs, the surging sound was endless, and the mountains and forests were moving. Qu Chunfeng looked at the familiar scene in front of him, and his emotions were difficult to calm down for a long time. Although he practiced mystic arts, he also believed that there were no ghosts and gods in the world. However, he had already died in that curse, so why did he come back to life
Qu Chunfeng has been here all his life...
Not far from here, there is a small fishing village isolated from the world. There are only a hundred households in total. The villagers rely on fishing for a living. They occasionally go to the market to change some clothes and rice grains, and they rarely have contact with outsiders.
At that time, Qu Chunfeng came here to look for the traces of the merman at the will of the emperor. After many investigations, he finally found that the people in this village had a close relationship with the merman. However, after the villagers were arrested, they were tortured and did nothing. Ken confided.
Later, Emperor Zhaoning became seriously ill...
Qu Chunfeng put the long sword on his knees, closed his eyes and said nothing. He seemed to remember the scene where the fire lit up the sky that night, and the blood flowed into rivers after the massacre. Far away, finally a merman was led to emerge from the sea.
The officers and soldiers had been in ambush for a long time, and hundreds of masters who were proficient in water had set up a net of heaven and earth. Together with the mysterious formation of Tianyimen, they finally captured dozens of mermaids.
But it was tragic.
Those sharks seemed to know what would happen if they were captured by humans, and they all struggled and resisted with all their might, preferring to gouge out the flesh to break free from the shackles of the iron hook fishing net, and the real fish died and the net broke.
Legend has it that the merman has a stunning appearance, which is rare in the world. Qu Chunfeng did not see it. He only saw a bloody corpse, either mutilated or missing, with the bones exposed, and he could no longer see what it looked like before birth.
But Emperor Zhaoning was seriously ill, so he couldn't take care of that much anymore. Qu Chunfeng could only take those corpses back to Beijing to return to his life.
After taking it, Emperor Zhao Ning's illness was gone, and he was more than ten years younger overnight. He was overjoyed to reward the ministers with meritorious deeds, and held a banquet to celebrate. It collapsed, the skin was scaly, and the complexion was pale, very terrifying.
After the news came out, both the government and the public were shocked. However, this was only the beginning, and then another accident happened one after another, but those who had something to do with the killing of the merman were not spared. The death was exactly the same as that of Emperor Zhaoning. Some people gave birth to fish tails and became half-human and half-demon, nondescript.
Qu Chunfeng was also among them. He suppressed the changes in his body with his lifelong cultivation. He did not grow scales like others, but his head turned white overnight. died.
There are rumors in the market that they wantonly mutilated life for the sake of longevity, and were cursed by the merman clan. Otherwise, why would others be fine, but they died one after another
The smell of blood still lingered in the air, Qu Chunfeng slowly brushed the scabbard, his hands were well-jointed, slender and powerful, and no signs of decay could be seen, showing that his rebirth was not a dream.
But why...
Just when Qu Chunfeng was puzzled, a transparent blue ball of light rose quietly behind him, behind which was a pair of chubby little wings that kept fanning to and fro, it was a system.
The host in front of him did not owe a debt of love, nor did he take any heart, but he was the most murderous of all the hosts. His death in a previous life was the retribution of heaven, and it was also self-rewarding.
Mr. System has already developed a good habit of taking notes. While observing Qu Chunfeng, he sets the goal of transformation. The first is to prevent the other party from wanton slaughtering villagers in order to seek longevity for the emperor. Later, we will see if there is any black history. Correct slowly.
Qu Chunfeng obviously didn't notice its existence. He took out a bright yellow brocade from his sleeve and looked at it for a long time. It was the imperial edict of Emperor Zhaoning. , but the curse of the previous life made him a little hesitant.
It was not until the night was getting dark that Qu Chunfeng finally got up from the rock and returned to the camp where he was stationed. Seeing that he would not go to the inn to stay, the Quanzhou Governor ordered someone to prepare delicious wine and food, and also gold pearls and jade. The ultimate flattery.
"Xiaguan has been in this position for a long time, and he has not achieved good results, but the national teacher has come from a long way from the capital, and he should always do his best to the friendship of the landlord. These things are nothing to talk about, just a little bit of care from the lower official. I also ask the national teacher to accept it. Down."
The attendant behind him was carrying a tray, which was piled with gold, silver and jade, shining brightly under the shadow of the bonfire. Qu Chunfeng glanced at it lightly, thinking that Quanzhou was a desolate place, and life was poor, and it was obvious that suffering was only the suffering of the common people. , the bitterness is not on the head of an official.
Mingxuan despised this kind of bribery and felt deeply insulted. He frowned and said coldly: "What is my senior brother's identity? There are so many rare treasures bestowed by His Majesty, how can he fall in love with you..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Qu Chunfeng say, "Then I would like to thank you for your kindness, but I will be disrespectful."
Snapped!
At that moment, Ming Xuan seemed to hear the sound of his face being swollen. He stared at Qu Chunfeng, but Qu Chunfeng didn't look at him, he just took out a Qiankun bag from his sleeve, and put the gold Yin Cuiyu slammed into it.
The merman likes to collect shiny things, and it's always good to have more.
Qu Chunfeng had no concept of short-handedness at all. He sat beside the bonfire, his side face was illuminated with a faint warm color, and instructed the Quanzhou Governor: "I will send you a set of ordinary people's uniform tomorrow, and I will have it myself. usefulness."
The Quanzhou Prefect heard the words and looked at the rest of Tianyimen subconsciously: "National teacher, is one set enough?"
Qu Chunfeng: "Enough."
They were resting in the wild today, some of the disciples were patrolling at night, and the other were meditating and practicing. In the middle of the night, Qu Chunfeng was not sleepy at all, and he still couldn't figure out why he was reborn.
At this moment, a blue ball of light suddenly emerged quietly in the dark night, and appeared in front of him: [Dear, I made you reborn~]
The tone was a little shy.
Qu Chunfeng obviously did not expect a strange light group to appear in the wilderness. Seeing this, he narrowed his eyes and directly held the sword that was lying on his knees. However, when he heard what the system said, his movements suddenly stopped.
Qu Chunfeng was stunned for a moment: "...Are you a god?"
The system was also stunned, it was the first time that a host had raised it like this.
The author has something to say: System: Just fucking touched
