The Lord who use immortals as food

Of course Pei Ye didn't pinch her, but she subconsciously relaxed a little at this time.

If young girls are a bit excessive, this is obviously closer to the stage of girls.

"Don't, uh, slap me in the face!" Pei Ye said.

The little shark was startled, hesitated for a moment, then continued to flick its tail and struggle, carefully avoiding his face.

Only then did Pei Ye see so closely and clearly this creature that he once thought existed only in legends. It was as if the fantasy he had when he was young, reading storybooks under the sunset window, became a reality.

The upper body is almost the same as that of a human, but it is more slender and slender, and has more characteristics of the aquatic tribe. The scales on the upper body appear shallow and small, perhaps because of his young age. There was a look of fear and unfamiliarity on their little faces, an expression that was indistinguishable from humans. It was hard for Pei Ye to imagine that they were actually another race.

It wasn't until Pei Ye curiously paused for a long time at the connection between the upper and lower body that he was slapped on the face by a tail.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, and the young man anxiously and breathlessly pushed open the door to the back hall, pressing the small dagger on his waist: "You, put her down!"

The next moment, he seemed to clearly see the figure standing in front of the hall. His body froze, and his hand subconsciously let go of the dagger.

Then he saw the Killing Star who had met at the bottom of the boat slowly turn around and look at him, his expression becoming colder little by little.

The same look as the cat on the shoulder.

"Okay. Zhang Piaoxu, okay."

Zhang Piaoxu sat on the chair with her head lowered, as if there were thorns under her butt.

"The first time we met, I helped you straighten the water tank; the second time we met, I saved your life; on the carriage ride back, I was trying to smooth things over for you in front of Capt. Xie!" Pei Ye walked around him, "I never expected that it would be you who stole my money!"

Zhang Piaoxu lowered his head deeply. This young man who refused to accept anything seemed to be the only one who could never raise his head up on this matter.

"I thought about it right then," he whispered, "I will definitely pay you back later."

"No need!" Pei Ye sneered, "Give it back to me now! I never lent it to you in the first place!"

"."

"How dare you not pay it back?!"

"No, flowers, flowers."

"Pay me back what you spent later! Give me whatever you have left now!"

".Du." Zhang Piaoxu snorted.

"What?"

"It's all spent."

"."

"."

Zhang Piaoxu lowered his head, wiped off his sleeves, and showed him the quiver with one arrow left.

"It costs fifty taels to shoot three arrows? How much does your crossbow cost?"

"The crossbow costs nothing."

"?"

"Three 'Little Shadows' and one sixteen taels. He said they were innocent and innocent." Zhang Piaoxu said in a dull voice.

Pei Ye was silent.

Xing Zhi and Xie Chuantang turned their faces and suppressed laughter.

"I'll give it back to you." Zhang Piaoxu lowered his head again and said, "The court won't allow the sale of this house. I'll move out tomorrow. You can live in it yourself or find someone to rent it. I'll find a place to work and make money."

"You should cooperate with Inspector Xie in questioning first." Pei Ye rolled his eyes.

It wasn't Pei Shaoxia's style to force people to sell their property. Knowing that he wouldn't be able to get the money back for a while, he didn't stay any longer. He left here, collected some scraps of silver from his place, bought the things he planned, and rushed in before midnight. He sent it to Qu Xin, and early the next morning, Xiao Yaojun's carriage and horse headed west.

The Caohe District officials gathered up their team. No one knew whether the search was successful or what they found. The new officer Xie kept silent. It was said that someone saw the purple-striped warlock from the Immortal Terrace, and they didn't know how to deal with it. What a vicious person.

Pei Ye watched Qu Xin's team of carriages and horses going further and further away. In the white mist in the early morning, he seemed to vaguely see Bowang's lush greenery. He fell asleep in the dark prison and came to Shenjing. He had no idea about the journey along the way. I didn’t have a direct feeling, but now I remembered, leaning against the city gate, that it was nearly two thousand miles away.

The white air exhaled by the young man dispersed into the winter sky. He lowered his head and looked at his hand, which was holding a short note from Zhang inviting him to go to the Xiuwen Museum.

When they returned to Jingzhao Mansion, the carriage and horses were ready, and there was no need for any escort. Pei Ye opened the curtain and got into the carriage. There was only a bench and a water tank in the carriage.

Pei Ye closed the car curtain, slowly looked down into the tank, and met a pair of vaguely flickering eyes across the water.

But after only half a breath, the water fluctuated, and the little fish turned around and huddled against the wall of the tank like an ostrich.

"."

Pei Ye stuck his head out and looked out of the car. Zhang Piaoxu was looking at the carriage with a look of reluctance.

After closing the curtains, the carriage and horses rumbled forward. Pei Ye looked at the large vat beside him without saying a word. The carriage was moving a bit fast, and water shuddered out from time to time. So soon, half of the head popped out from the edge of the tank, looking at the water on the floor with distress.

Pei Ye looked at her, and at this time she was a little curious about what material the long hair was made of - it was not at all like humans who get wet when they get out of the water, with water droplets sliding smoothly from it.

"Hello." Pei Ye whispered, and his head next to the water tank immediately dived down, leaving only a pair of eyes looking at him.

"Can you speak?" Pei Ye asked hesitantly.

"."

"What's your name?"

"."

"Does your family live in Tianji Nanhai? What's the scenery like there?"

"."

"Do you eat candy?"

"."

All he got was silence. Pei Ye turned to look at the kitten on her shoulder and gestured, meaning that since you are not human, you might be able to chat.

The black cat didn't remember what he had done to make him think that it could speak another language. He looked at the eyes beside the tank and was silent for a while, then tried to give a cold "meow".

The little fish man sank into the bottom of the tank and never showed his head again.

"You are too vicious." Pei Ye frowned and complained to Xiao Hei Tuanzi.

In the Xiuwen Museum in the winter morning, people were already wrapped in cotton-padded clothes. It was not obvious in the summer, but now in winter, you can see some of their family status. Quite a few people have patches of similar colors on their cotton-padded clothes, and few have light fur coats and warm cloaks.

Pei Ye then sent the coachman to drive the horse himself, and saw many familiar faces. He had already understood that along the way, the waterside pavilion by the lake, the pavilion in the center of the lake, and the small maple forest were the three places where people were most likely to gather, and it was common for people to read books and reason.

In fact, for the scholars at the Shuwenkan, this clear and tall young man with a sword is also a figure that is easy to notice, especially now that the cold has condensed thin ice on the lake, he is still wearing a long-sleeved thin shirt, and everyone gradually Everyone knows that there is such a cultivator in the Xiuwen Museum on a daily basis.

Pei Ye tried to raise his hand to say hello, and received many smiles and returns.

After crossing the corridor in the front garden, we came to a peaceful and peaceful place again. The small building at the corner of the lake was independent and already showed some loneliness in the northern winter.

Holding the big vat and climbing up the stairs with ease, the little shark curiously poked his head out to look at the surroundings again, but from time to time he looked warily at the young man's face, which was close at hand.

Pei Ye had no choice but to turn her head and pretend not to look here at all. Then she leaned out more and looked at the walls and paintings around her.

Still come to the top.

All the furnishings were as before. Behind the long desk, there was a beautiful woman wrapped in a big cotton robe, and there was a small heater on the table.

Pei Ye gently placed the vat on the ground.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Chuo smiled and looked him up and down, "Did Taishan Medical Center urge you to pay for the consultation again this time?"

"No matter what, they will treat it for me whether you give me money or not." Pei Ye smiled. This attic was always as warm as spring. He stretched his muscles comfortably, casually took off his sword and put it aside, "I and their little medicine We are both friends. She is often troubled by others, but she likes to talk to me. We have a good relationship. "

Xu Chuo nodded casually: "I know you know the young master best, so there's no need to talk about it."

"."

Pei Ye changed the subject and said: "I didn't expect that the 'but you are necessary' in the letter from the owner of the museum turned out to be a decoy envoy."

"It's ugly. I'm asking you to be the leader of the battle - without you, the opponent would have overturned the chessboard." Xu Chuo smiled slightly and looked at him, "If you're not happy, just grab a bottle of wine and leave later."

"Okay." Pei Ye agreed generously.

Then Pei Ye turned his gaze to the big tank next to him. The eyes inside had shrunk back when he heard the stranger's voice. Pei Ye looked at the woman: "They are indeed the ones who secretly smuggled into Beijing. , take a look.”

Xu Chuo nodded: "I have read the case file."

She left the case and came over: "Is he really a shark?"

"right."

"Yuanke built his chamber at the bottom of the rock, and the shark built his pavilion on the hanging stream." Xu Chuo reached out to the water with some curiosity, "I have never seen it before."

Pei Ye immediately raised his hand to remind: "Be careful, this little fishman is really powerful."

However, nothing happened. Pei Ye looked at this scene in surprise: the exquisite and beautiful little shark slowly emerged from the water, looking at Xu Chuo with a pair of clear jewel-like eyes, and its slender scaly tail gently Shaking, there was a daze of curiosity on his little face.

Then she gently raised her hand and touched Xu Chuo lightly with one index finger across the water.

This contact made Xiaomeren's eyes light up. She took back her hand and looked at her fingers blankly. She looked at Xu Chuo curiously but not daring to get close, but her vigilance was obviously gone.

Xu Chuo looked at the wide-eyed Pei Ye next to him, pursed his lips and smiled: "What's wrong, doesn't your cat kiss me too?"

Pei Ye couldn't understand, but there was nothing to explore at this time, so he calmly said: "They smuggled these sharks, and there were probably a hundred or so of them found in this boat alone, and Zhang Er just witnessed it more than a year ago. I don’t know how long it has been even earlier, but you haven’t heard anything about the sharks in all these years?”

Xu Chuo lowered his head and gently hooked the little shark's fingers, turned around and muttered: "If you don't have this thing in your heart, it's hard to think about it. Do you know where the shark lives?"

"The script says it's the South China Sea."

"Actually, it's the South China Sea. The end of the sky is said to be extremely far away." Xu Chuo said, "The sharks live in the very depths of the South China Sea, almost isolated from the human world. Sea ships cannot go in and out of such far places, and they rarely go there. Over there, there are occasional legends of sharks on the land, but they are all very sporadic."

"Can cultivators not find it?" Pei Ye raised his eyebrows, "It is difficult for mortal ships to approach, but if cultivators want to find it, the sea area should not be an insurmountable chasm."

"For practitioners, they are actually more mysterious."

"Um?"

"I have read accounts of people going to sea in search of these scale tribes. There are many people like Longjun Dongting who know the water, but almost all of them returned without success." Xu Chuo said, "If mortals can still meet by chance, in the city There are even shark rays circulating, and cultivators who are looking for them can't see them at all. Even if it is a locked water area, they can disappear without a trace, and the Lingxuan Formation Device has done nothing."

"."

"So in every description, they are the most mysterious race."

".But they brought them to Shenjing."

"Yes."

"."

"They can find the sharks and capture them." Xu Chuo pondered, "This is something we haven't mastered yet."

"Why did they capture so many sharks? Where did these sharks go?" Pei Ye leaned on the pillar, frowning, "After so many years of action, they planned the entire Shenjing and Taiping for this matter. Caobang, Jinwuwei, and Yu Sicheng just wanted to bring these sharks in? "

"Sometimes, a thing may not have only one purpose." Xu Chuo said, "Things facilitated by multiple parties must be such that everyone can get the benefits they want."

Pei Ye was slightly startled.

"Yu Sicheng, what he wants is gold and silver." Xu Chuo said softly, "He came from a humble background and was bullied when he was a member of the Xiaohuang Sect. Now after so many years, what he still wants is the dignity on his face and the wealth in his pocket. .So tell me, what does the other person want?"

".If we know who he is, can we know what he wants?"

"We know what he wants, and we can also know who he is." Xu Chuo said softly, looking in a certain direction in the distance, "The sharks weave water into yarn, and tears into beads, and trade them in the mirage. Treasures. They build their own chambers in the water where no one can find them, and spend a long life of three hundred years. After their death, it is said that the grease burns into a lamp that will last for thousands of years; the shark beads are ground into powder and swallowed. , Eating it can lead to immortality.”

Xu Chuo looked back at the young man: "Fang Zhu used the water to mix the hallucinatory medicine and sprinkled the raw silk into cold and heat. Guess what he wanted?"

".What's this?"

"Poetry carved at the door of the fantasy building."

"."

"You can understand a lot of things just by going there."

".Is this place free to go to?"

"Some people can't go in their lifetime, and some people are born with this qualification." Xu Chuo smiled, "I can't go, but someone can go. I'll write a note and ask her to take you with her. She will definitely be happy to ”

Pei Ye was stunned: "Who?"

Xu Chuo didn't answer, because at this moment the little shark clinging to the water tank made his first sound - it must have been a human voice. Although it didn't form words, it was just like a baby's "yo yo" sound.

".What did she say?"

Xu Chuo lowered his head and watched, while the little shark swam around in the tank again, then stuck his head out, looked at her and barked twice like a deer again.

"She's hungry." Xu Chuo turned his eyebrows and looked at the boy, "Go down to the lake and catch her two fish for the bass. This is the most fresh and tight season."

"." Pei Ye was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the black cat on his shoulder.

The black cat sighed, turned around and jumped downstairs.
