Chapter 91 Are You a God?

Chapter 91 Are You a God?

There is a saying in "Sou Shen Ji": "There are sharks outside the South China Sea. They live in the water like fish, and they don't waste weaving. When their eyes cry, they can produce pearls."

Emperor Qin swept across the country and ruled the world. Later, he sent the alchemist Xu Fu to Fusang and took three thousand boys and girls to visit overseas fairy mountains. The purpose was to find the elixir of life. Later, this seemed to be 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 remote place. Although it is close to the sea, most of the people are poor because of the lack of commercial routes. They rely on fishing for their livelihood. Only criminals with serious crimes will be exiled here.

Legend has it that many years ago, there were traces of the shark family here. Their upper body was human, with the waist as the boundary and the lower part with fish tails. Its ointment can be lighted as a long-burning lamp, and placed in the inner room, the dark fragrance will surge, and the wind and rain will not invade, and it will not be extinguished for ten thousand years.

But that was already a legend many years ago, and no one knows if it is true, but it does not prevent the current monarch of Dachu from using a lot of manpower and material resources to find the one-in-10,000 possibility.

I don’t know when there was a group of people on the edge of a cliff near the sea in Quanzhou, with high buns, decorated with Taiji crown jade, white gowns covered with black gauze, black and white silk sash around the waist, hanging ichthyosaur tokens, all carrying long swords, dressed in general No two.

If there are knowledgeable people here, they will recognize that they are members of the Tianyi Sect. They originally belonged to the Taoist sect, and there were many strange people in the sect. Later, they surrendered to the imperial court for some reason and were used by the Chu royal family. Men Hongguan is in the position of the national teacher, and he specializes in alchemy and medicine for the emperor in order to live forever.

However, a few months ago, Hong Guanwei suddenly became seriously ill, so Emperor Zhaoning ordered his disciple Qu Chunfeng to take the post of national teacher temporarily, and led the Tianmen to go to the coast of Quanzhou to search for the sharks.

If there are people with extraordinary talents in the Tianyi sect, they can master subtle mystic arts, and Mingxuan is one of them. He used a mermaid scale hidden in the treasury of the Chu Palace a few years ago as a reference, and used the astrolabe to detect it. Having nothing to gain, he couldn't help looking at the man who had been standing on the edge of the cliff for a long time, hesitantly asked: "...Brother, are there really sharks here?"

The man was dressed in a white robe, with a strong character, and the corners of his clothes were blown up and down by the wind. He neither used mystical techniques to detect nor searched for the mermaids, but just frowned and looked at the turbulent sea in the distance, as if thinking of something old. , his eyes looked a little surprised, and he came back to his senses when he heard Mingxuan's words.

Qu Chunfeng came down from the cliff, his voice was faint, and he couldn't hear the ups and downs of emotion: "Master said yes, then there will be, I will obey orders, and there is no need to say anything else."

Qu Chunfeng is the eldest disciple of Hong Guanwei, who is extremely talented. Both his parents died when he was young, and he was taken by his master to adopt him. Comparable to Hongguanwei, its strength can be seen.

If it is said that mermaids only exist in the imagination of the world, then Hong Guanwei, the master of Tianyi Sect, has broken this rumor. It was only 150 years since the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, the imperial power has changed, and there have been four emperors, but he has lived for more than 200 years.

More than two hundred years old, in this world where there are years of famine, wars and separatist regimes, and people live to be considered long-lived at the age of sixty, what is the concept?

Emperor Zhaoning once summoned Hong Guanwei to discuss the art of longevity in the palace all night. The content is unknown, but at that time there were rumors that he fell into the water when he was young, and met a mermaid who gave him medicine to change his physique. Lived a little longer than others.

The governor of Quanzhou wanted to ask for credit, and he secretly prepared the officers and soldiers' ships before he was notified. Seeing Qu Chunfeng and others coming down from the cliff, he hurried forward with his official robes in his hands, and said with a smile on his face: "National Normal University Man, the officer has already prepared the boat to go to sea, ready to go at any time, please wait for me..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by someone.

"No need," Qu Chunfeng said, "Let them all leave here. Without my order, don't act rashly. If you disturb the Merman, you will die."

The governor of Quanzhou thought that he had been an official for most of his life in this place where no one shits. He had never seen any mermaids before, so why should he talk about disturbing him? This young national teacher might return empty handed. It was boring for me, so I had to order someone to withdraw.

Qu Chunfeng didn't go to the post house to rest. He ordered everyone from Tianyimen to wait nearby. He walked to the beach at the bottom of the cliff by himself, and finally took off the long sword behind him and sat cross-legged on a rock.

The juniors looked at it and thought that he was cultivating. After all, this senior brother is withdrawn by nature, reticent and always likes to be alone.

The waves are constantly crashing against the rocks and cliffs, the sound of turbulence is endless, and the mountains and forests are moving. Looking at the familiar scenery in front of him, Qu Chunfeng couldn't calm down for a long time. Although he practiced mystical arts, he firmly 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 from the dead?

Qu Chunfeng has been here in his previous life...

Not far from here, there is a small fishing village isolated from the world, with a total of less than a hundred households. The villagers all rely on fishing for a living, and occasionally go to the market to exchange some clothes, rice and grain, and rarely contact outsiders.

At that time, Qu Chunfeng came here to look for the sharks on the order of the emperor. After many inquiries, he finally found that the people in this village were closely related to the sharks. However, after the villagers were arrested, they were tortured and did nothing. Ken confides.

Later, Emperor Zhaoning became seriously ill...

Qu Chunfeng put the long sword across his knees, closed his eyes and said nothing, seemed to recall the scene of the night when the flames blazed into the sky, and the blood flowed into rivers after massacring the village, even the ground under his feet was stained red, and the smell of blood spread far and far Finally, a merman was lured to appear from the sea.

Officers and soldiers have long been in the dark

Ambushes, hundreds of masters who are proficient in water have laid nets all over the world, coupled with Tianyimen's profound art formation, finally captured dozens of mermen.

But it was miserable.

Those mermaids seemed to know what would happen if they were captured by humans, they struggled and resisted desperately, they would rather goug out their flesh than break free from the shackles of the iron hooks and fishing nets.

It is said that the merman has a beautiful appearance, which is rare in the world. Qu Chunfeng didn't see it, he only saw bloody corpses, some were mutilated or missing, with the bones exposed, and he couldn't see what he looked like before he was born.

But Emperor Zhaoning was seriously ill, and he couldn't care less about that. Qu Chunfeng could only bring those corpses back to Beijing to return to his life. He looked through ancient books and records, and used the flesh and blood of sharks to refine the longevity medicine. Finally, he made three pills.

After Emperor Zhaoning took it, his pain disappeared, and he became more than ten years younger overnight. He was overjoyed and rewarded the ministers with meritorious service, and held a banquet to celebrate. However, he was found dead on the bed of his favorite concubine early the next morning. Collapsed, skin with fine scales, pale complexion, very frightening.

After the news came out, both the government and the public were shocked, but this was only the beginning, and then there were accidents one after another, but those who had something to do with the killing of the Merman were not spared, and the death conditions were exactly the same as that of Emperor Zhaoning, and even worse Someone gave birth to a fishtail and became half-human, half-demon, neither fish nor fowl.

Qu Chunfeng was also among them. He suppressed the changes in his body with his whole life cultivation, he did not grow scales like others, but he also turned white overnight, decayed like an old man, and lived a day like ten years, but after seven days he dried up and died. died.

There are rumors in the market, saying that they were cursed by the mermaid clan for wantonly killing their lives in order to live forever. Otherwise, why would other people be fine, but why did they die suddenly one after another?

The smell of blood seemed to be still lingering in the air. Qu Chunfeng slowly brushed over the scabbard. His hands were well-articulated, slender and powerful, and there was no visible decay, which showed that his rebirth was not a dream.

But why...

Just when Qu Chunfeng couldn't figure it out, a transparent blue light ball quietly rose up behind him, with a pair of chubby little wings flapping back and forth non-stop, it was clearly a system.

The host in front of him has neither owed a debt of love nor betrayed the hearts of the people, but he is the most murderous one among all the hosts. His death in the previous life is the retribution of heaven, and it is also the result of his own evil.

Mr. System has developed a good habit of taking notes. While observing Qu Chunfeng, he formulated the goal of transformation. The first thing is to prevent the other party from massacring villagers indiscriminately in order to seek longevity for the emperor. Take it easy.

Qu Chunfeng obviously didn't notice its existence, he took out a piece of bright yellow brocade from his sleeve and looked at it quietly for a long time, it was clearly the imperial decree of Emperor Zhaoning, the emperor's order was hard to disobey, the mermaid had to grab it if he wanted to, and he had to grab it if he didn't. , but the curse of the previous life made him hesitate.

It wasn't until the night was getting dark that Qu Chunfeng finally got up from the rocks and returned to the camp where he was stationed. The governor of Quanzhou saw that he refused to go to the posthouse to stay, so he ordered someone to prepare fine wine and delicacies, as well as gold, pearls and jade. Extreme flattery.

"The lower official has been in this position for a long time and has not achieved good results. However, the national teacher came all the way from the capital, and he should do his best to be a landlord. These things are not worth mentioning. They are just a little care of the lower official. Please also accept the national teacher. Down."

The attendant behind him was carrying a tray full of gold, silver and emerald jade, shining brightly under the cover of the bonfire. Qu Chunfeng glanced at it lightly, thinking that Quanzhou is a remote place, and life is poor. It can be seen that suffering is just suffering people. , The pain is not on the head of the official.

Mingxuan looked down on this kind of bribery, felt insulted deeply, frowned and said coldly: "What is the status of my elder brother, and the countless rare treasures bestowed by His Majesty, how could he fall in love with you..."

Before he finished speaking, Qu Chunfeng said: "Then I would like to thank you for your kindness, and I will not be disrespectful."

Snapped!

At that moment, Mingxuan seemed to hear the sound of his own face being swollen. He looked at Qu Chunfeng dumbfounded, but Qu Chunfeng didn't look at him. He just took out a Qiankun bag from his sleeve, and put the gold Yin Cuiyu rushed into it.

Mermaids like to collect shiny things, and it never hurts to have more.

Qu Chunfeng didn't have the slightest idea of ​​being short-handed. He sat down by the bonfire, his side face was illuminated with a faint warmer color, and he ordered to the governor of Quanzhou: "Tomorrow, I will send a set of common clothes for ordinary people. usefulness."

The Governor of Quanzhou subconsciously looked at the rest of the Tianyi Sect when he heard the words: "National Teacher, is one set enough?"

Qu Chunfeng: "That's enough."

They were resting in the field today, some of the disciples were watching the night, and some were meditating. In the middle of the night, Qu Chunfeng didn't feel sleepy at all, and he still couldn't figure out why he was reborn.

At this moment, a blue ball of light suddenly quietly emerged in the dark night, appearing in front of his eyes: [Darling, I made you reborn]

His tone was a little embarrassing.

Qu Chunfeng obviously didn't expect a strange light cluster to appear in the wilderness. Seeing it, he squinted his eyes and directly grasped the sword lying on his knee. However, after hearing what the system said clearly, his movements stopped abruptly.

Qu Chunfeng was stunned for a moment: "...Are you a god?"

The system was also stunned, it was the first time a host praised it like this.
