Chapter 169 Hateful People Must Be Hurt
"I never thought you'd use the name 'Ajin' for three hundred years!" The mountain god said with a smile, "You're still so gullible."
"I never thought that after three hundred years, you would still be so good at lying." Ah Jin leaned against a tree, and the branches obscured his face, making it difficult to see clearly. "Not only that, but you even have the bad habit of meddling in other people's affairs."
"Mortals often say that time flies by. For us, these three hundred years are just a flash of lightning. We have endured the long river. If we don't have some fun, wouldn't it be boring?" The mountain god said, but suddenly changed the subject: "Come to think of it, do you really think you can get the right result from that kid?"
Ah Jin didn't answer him, but just snorted: "What's going on with you?"
The mountain god sighed when he heard this: "Alas, it's been so many years, it's boring to guard a head. So what if I give it to him to play with? It's not a big deal."
"Be careful, in case you can't find it, you'll become the second Xing Tian." Ah Jin said, turning around and changing into a cat, then walked towards the deep pool on the mountain.
Behind him, the mountain god muttered quietly: "After all these years, you are still so annoying."
……
The mermaid kept roaring for a long time without stopping. Everyone present had a splitting headache. Liu Xia's ears began to bleed. Just when everyone began to be unable to bear it, a fire talisman suddenly flew over and hit the mermaid on the back.
As soon as the fire talisman was attached to the mermaid's back, it exploded immediately, forcing the mermaid's still roaring breath back into his stomach, and then he began to cough violently.
After a severe cough, he looked back and saw Banxia wrapped in a talisman robe lying on the edge of the pond. She was holding two talismans in her hands, hanging above the water, and said to the mermaid:
"If you don't stop, I will put this black mud talisman into the water. I just don't know if the woman at the bottom of the lake can stand the pollution of the water!"
The mermaid's eyes widened when he heard this, and he shouted at Banxia, "How dare you!"
Banxia seemed to be fearless and shouted back with great courage: "Do you think I dare?" As she said that, she was about to let go of the yellow talisman in her hand.
Seeing that black mist had begun to gather around the yellow talisman, the merman immediately softened his tone: "Okay! Don't move! I won't take action!"
When Banxia saw him like this, she knew that her guess was correct, and quickly asked him to put down his weapon and go ashore.
The merman was unwilling to do so when he heard that. But when Banxia saw him like that, she pretended to throw the talisman paper into the deep pool. The merman had no choice but to throw the trident into the pool and then swam to the other side of Banxia.
When he jumped on the shore, he jumped out of the pool. Under the moonlight, his fish tail glowed with colorful light and turned into two legs in mid-air. Then he landed steadily on the ground, but...
But he was naked!
The roar of the mermaid just now seemed to still linger in everyone's ears, and it has not calmed down until now. They only felt a burning pain in their ears and kept covering their ears.
However, Xinyi was at the Golden Core level, so even though she was in great pain, she recovered quickly. But as soon as she recovered, she saw a naked man standing on the shore, and Banxia was holding her hands up, staring at him intently.
Xinyi sighed in her heart: Are women nowadays so vigorous?
Just as he was surprised, he heard Banxia yelling, "Turn around! It's too dazzling!"
It happened that Liu Xia recovered at this time, and it happened that he heard these words. What's more, when he stood up and looked forward, the mermaid turned around honestly.
Liu Xia seemed to have forgotten the pain just now, with only shock in his eyes. He never expected that Banxia was such a powerful person, who could make the mermaid obey his orders! What he didn't expect was that Banxia had no shyness at all for the naked man in front of her, but looked at him openly...
This……
This……
This doesn't look like what a girl should look like!
Liu Xia quickly took off his outer robe and threw it to the naked mermaid, but did not say much. He just vaguely told him to put it on quickly.
The merman picked up Liu Xia's robe and just as he shook it open, he heard Banxia urging him in a stern voice: "Hurry up! I have something to ask you!" The merman shook his hands when he heard that and quickly put on the Taoist robe and wrapped himself up.
But after all, it is just an outer robe. No matter how tightly it is wrapped, there will still be gaps between the hems. Now when the mermaid walks, the white flesh on her legs will be exposed, which looks really funny.
As soon as the merman turned around, Banxia asked viciously, "Tell me! Whose girl did you kidnap?!"
Hearing Lingxiang's question, the mermaid's face was filled with sadness. He forgot to glance at the crescent moon hanging in the sky, which looked like it was cut in half by a sharp blade, and sighed, "She is my wife."
Banxia was shocked when she heard this. The person in the water looked like just an ordinary human woman, so how could she be the wife of a mermaid?
She was startled at first, then she swung the yellow talisman on her hand and yelled at the mermaid, "Do you think I'm uneducated? How dare you make up such a ridiculous lie to deceive me? Why would a good girl like me marry an old monster like you!"
Xinyi and Liu Xia looked at each other. Although they knew that Banxia was usually free and easy, they had never thought that she was so tough. It was nothing strange that a woman was willing to marry a mermaid. Why was she so angry? Shouldn't she be surprised why this woman stayed in the water?
Hearing Banxia's roar, the merman was also shocked. Most of the women he knew were gentle and submissive. Even the merman girls in the tribe were very gentle. He had never seen such a fierce woman. But no matter how surprised he was, now that his wife was in someone else's hands, he still had to answer.
Looking at the yellow talisman that kept shaking in Banxia's hand, the mermaid said quickly: "Pay attention to the talisman in your hand and listen to me slowly. This is a long story..."
But Banxia didn't show him any mercy and shouted angrily, "Let's cut to the chase!"
The merman sighed: "My name is Luo Li, I come from a merman tribe in the East China Sea..."
……
People all say that mermaids cry tears and turn into pearls, but little do people know that these mermaid pearls come in different grades.
The tears of a mermaid can indeed form pearls, but most of the time they will shatter in a crystallization step before forming pearls. Even if they do become mermaid pearls, many factors must be considered, including the day, time, and location of the tears, as well as the cultivation mood of the weeping mermaid.
For example, the pearls that ordinary mermaids weep are mostly not round, so although they can be considered mermaid pearls, they are of low quality. The medium-quality mermaid pearls are round, but lack color or smoothness. Only the mermaid pearls that are round, smooth, and have five colors can be considered top quality.
Moreover, the mermaid pearl can also grow. Once the tears become pearls, they will gradually grow larger as they absorb the spiritual energy of the universe and the light of the mysterious sun, until they grow to the size of an adult man's fist. Therefore, many mermaids often surface when the moonlight is just right, walk on the waves, and go to the nearby beach to nourish their mermaid pearls.
Luo Li met Doukou one night when he was drying pearls. Normally, most people in the mortal world, except for those night watchmen, would be asleep in the middle of the night, and it would be even harder to see people at the beach.
But it was such a coincidence that when Luoli went ashore, he happened to meet Doukou, a fisherwoman who was wandering on the beach in the middle of the night. She was muttering something while wandering.
Luo Li was naturally shocked at first. Although he was nearly a hundred years old and had heard of mortals on land from the elders in the tribe, he had never seen one before.
But at that time he had already stepped on the waves and climbed ashore, swaggering with nowhere to hide. However, the strange thing was that even though he was right in front of her, Doukou seemed not to see him, and continued to walk back and forth as usual, muttering to herself.
Luo Li suddenly became curious. He approached carefully, patted Doukou gently, and then immediately dived back into the water. However, Doukou was almost dead and had no reaction. She was still moving back and forth barefoot over and over again.
Seeing this, Luoli plucked up his courage, transformed into human feet, walked in front of Doukou, and waved his webbed claws in front of her, but Doukou ignored him.
This is extremely strange. Could it be that I met someone who is both deaf and blind?
But this time he came here to dry the pearls after all. Seeing that this man had no influence on him, Luo Li relaxed and dried the mermaid pearls aside.
Mortals regard the mermaid pearl as a treasure, but they don't know where the treasure of the mermaid pearl lies. Most people regard it as a decoration, or cultivate it into a magic weapon because it absorbs the spiritual energy of the world. But the real value of the mermaid pearl lies in that it is actually a supreme medicinal material that can heal the diseased body and improve cultivation.
Naturally, the better the quality of the mermaid pearls, the better the effect.
Although Luoli was a poor man among the mermaids, the mermaid pearls he shed were very strange. However, he had never mentioned them to anyone, so he always traveled thousands of miles alone to the mortal coast to dry the pearls. This was because his mermaid pearls were better than those of anyone else in the tribe.
Luoli's mermaid pearl is extremely rare. Its surface is round and shiny, and it is no different from other high-quality mermaid pearls. However, most high-quality mermaid pearls are green or red, or red and green, while his mermaid pearl is blue, the color of the sea.
This has never happened before and must not be known by other people, otherwise it will surely bring about unnecessary trouble!
I have heard from the elders that a long time ago, some tribes were invaded and exterminated by other tribes because they had high-quality mermaid pearls.
That's why he always runs very far.
He had found a good place to dry pearls before. It was an uninhabited place and it looked like no one had ever been there. So he kept drying the pearls there. However, one time when he was drying pearls he was discovered by other mermaids and that is when he found this place.
There was nothing unusual in the first two times, but I didn't expect to meet a human woman this time. Fortunately, this woman was deaf and blind, so I felt relieved.
What he didn't expect was that every time he came to dry the pearls, he would meet this woman, and this woman would walk back and forth as usual, muttering to herself.
However, when he came again one time, he didn't see her, which made Luo Li suspicious.
In the past, every time I dried the pearls, she would always chatter beside me. I had long been accustomed to it. But now that I suddenly couldn't hear her chattering, I felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
He couldn't help but wonder if Doukou fell somewhere and got hurt because he couldn't see. Just as he was looking around with the beads in his hand, the beads were snatched away by someone.
"You lie here with the ball every day, what on earth are you doing?"
Luo Li was already shocked by the sudden snatching of the mermaid pearl, and then he heard a voice, which frightened him so much that he dived into the sea and even forgot to get the pearl back.
The person who was speaking was none other than Doukou, whom Luoli saw every time.
Seeing how timid Luo Li was, Doukou immediately rolled over on the shore with laughter. Seeing her like this, Luo Li angrily emerged from the water and slapped his tail towards the sea.
The seawater splashed onto Doukou, soaking her from head to toe. However, she was not angry. She just stared at Luoli's huge tail fin and exclaimed, "Is your tail real? It's so beautiful!"
As Doukou spoke, she moved closer to Luoli, which made Luoli feel strange. Normally, when ordinary people saw such a situation, they would treat them as monsters and either run away or scream in fear. However, this woman did not show any fear at all and actually walked towards him.
Walking towards him?
While Luoli was stunned, Doukou had already stepped on the sea water to approach him and was even stroking his tail.
A strange feeling spread throughout his body. He shuddered and wanted to dodge, but fell on Doukou in panic. Suddenly, water splashed everywhere with the remaining light of the moon, and Luoli's heart seemed to be splashed with flowers.
……
"So what?" Banxia asked fiercely, "This long speech you've been talking about for half a day is all about your Xueyue Fenghua, how she married you, and why you came here to do evil. Does it have anything to do with it?"
Seeing Banxia like this, Liu Xia couldn't help but look at Xinyi, asking with his eyes, what happened to Banxia and why did she suddenly become like this?
Xinyi naturally didn't know, so she just shrugged and motioned for him to listen first.
After hearing Banxia's question, Luo Li sighed, "I later learned that Doukou had sleepwalking since she was a child. She was sleepwalking when we first met, but I woke her up later. When she saw my appearance, she dared not say a word and had to pretend to continue sleepwalking."
"But only the first time was a night tour. The next few times were actually fake, and they were waiting for me on purpose."
"We gradually fell in love and got together, but for some reason, someone found out about my mermaid pearl and brought people to capture Doukou."
"Doukou was already pregnant at that time, but they made her take a demon poison and forced me to hand over the mermaid pearl. After I handed over the mermaid pearl, they went back on their word and wanted to kill her. I used up all my strength to save her, but was unable to escape. At this time, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, and when I woke up, I was here..."
Xin Yi was shocked when she heard this, and frowned as she asked, "What you meant just now is that you were brought here by someone else, and you didn't come here on purpose?"
Luo Li shook his head: "Those who can control lightning are either gods or mortals who have borrowed the power of gods. How can a little demon like me have such power..."
Hearing him say this, Xinyi suddenly felt something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while...
