Chapter 205: The Ghost Lingers
"How did you live to be this big?"
Bei Ran felt that this person was simply mentally retarded: "Of course, I grew up eating small fish and shrimp, and I can't drink enough water." ”
"I ...... Alas, forget it. Ji Changkong squatted down, untied the green vine tied to her, and lifted her up.
Bei Ran thought he was going to let her go, and just wanted to be grateful to Dade, but the man immediately dragged her into the house, and then threw her into the water, and she turned back into the palm-sized little goldfish.
She kept fluttering in the tank, crying and grabbing the ground, "You vicious human, if I hadn't been chased and injured by someone, and my mana hadn't recovered yet, how could I be caught by you and locked up here, and when I'm well, I must call for a big flood to flood your house." ”
Ji Changkong glanced at her: "You say that every time." What about your mana, why hasn't it recovered yet? ”
"I'm ......", Beiran felt a little aggrieved, "It's not that easy, if I can recover early, I can save my brothers and sisters." ”
"Save my brother and sister? Didn't you say they were still at home waiting for you to go back, what's wrong with them? ”
Bei Ran nose soured: "I lied to you, my brothers and sisters were all locked up, as well as my father and mother, who were also arrested." ”
Ji Changkong frowned, he hadn't heard her talk about this a few times before, and then asked, "What happened?" ”
"A while ago, a group of poisonous snakes suddenly came out of nowhere, and they were about to arrest us without saying a word, and many brothers and sisters were injured by them, so they arrested everyone and locked them in the water palace, sent people to guard them, and then took away the father and mother. I was only caught by them because I was playing outside and happened to be not at home. ”
"Vipers?" For some reason, at the mention of snakes, he remembered the bad things that had happened to him.
"Yes, it's poisonous snakes, they can still go into the water, otherwise everyone won't be caught by them." Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly swam to the edge of the tank, looked at Ji Changkong seriously, and said: "Little Taoist, your spells must be very powerful, can you help me save them?" If you help me rescue them, I don't know if you want to steam me or braise me or stew me in soup! ”
Seeing that she thought she was going to eat her, and she wanted to run away, but now she was determined to let herself help her, Ji Changkong felt funny: "Why aren't you afraid now?" ”
Bei Ran patted her chest with her short fins: "As long as you are willing to help me, I am not afraid of anything!" ”
Ji Changkong didn't squeak, got up and went to the side to get a jar, then opened it and threw a few things into the water.
Bei Ran looked at the unidentified objects and said, "What is this?" ”
"Dried shrimp, only when you are full will you have the strength to fight."
As soon as he heard that he wanted to help him, Bei Ran suddenly turned his worries into joy, turned his grief and anger into strength, and ate those shrimps after grabbing them, not to mention, she was really hungry after being fished by the fisherman for so long. She said while eating: "It turns out that the shrimp are also very delicious when dried." ”
"The small fish is also delicious when dried."
"Ahem...... cough ......" Beiran choked several bites by his words, took the small fish and turned his back to eat, and no longer looked at him.
Ji Changkong looked at her back, thought of her talking about her own race, and said casually: "Since you can become a human, are you related to the mermaid?" ”
Bei Ran bit the shrimp and slurred his words: "Of course not, they are them, we are us, I am a human being because I have become a refinement, and I am different from their essence." ”
After thinking about it, she said again: "However, there is a sea where there are a lot of mermaids, I forgot what the name of that sea is, anyway, it is the second largest sea in the whole world." ”
Ji Changkong asked her, "How many are so special?" ”
"It's just many, many, too many."
He smiled softly and said, "Then do you usually have contacts?" ”
"Generally not, our butterfly-tailed goldfish are freshwater fish, their mermaids are saltwater fish, and our river water does not violate seawater."
"But isn't the moat where you are going east through Chongming Island and finally merging into the East China Sea?"
Beiran was a little surprised: "Huh? Is that so? My dad didn't tell me, I don't know. ”
"I don't know. If you're full, you'll leave. ”
Bei Ran wiped his mouth and swallowed the last shrimp: "I'm full." Then he smiled at him, "Thank you, little Taoist." By the way, what's your name? ”
Ji Changkong's face was full of black lines: "Ji, long, empty, you forgot again." ”
Bei Ran laughed a few times: "Hahaha...... I remember, but I'm afraid you'll forget, so I'll remind you. ”
“……”
Ji Changkong took her out of the water and put her on the ground, and the little fish turned into the delicate woman with long hair in yellow clothes, and followed him meekly.
The Jingjiang River basin of the Jialing line is really not very peaceful, and when you first enter that territory, you can see a few aliens holding weapons on the shore, which means that outsiders should not approach.
Ji Changkong took Bei Ran all the way to hide, avoiding the sight of those people, and soon followed her to the center, this section is the territory under the jurisdiction of the North Ran clan, and it is also the main gate of the palace where they often go in and out.
The two hid in a wooded area on the shore, keeping a close eye on everything below. I saw that there were many people of different races gathered on the wide riverbank, more than ten times more than the number of people in the fringe area before, all covered their faces with black veils, as if they were preparing for something.
After waiting for a long time, the group of people below didn't move, and just when Ji Changkong was going to kill Bei Ran directly, and then forcibly enter the underwater palace to check it, there was a sudden change in the water level.
At this time, there was no wind, and I saw that the water surface as flat as a mirror gradually rippled, and then, the ripples became bigger and bigger, and the flood became higher and higher, and finally, two alien soldiers came out of the water, holding a fish man in common.
Bei Ran was startled for a moment, suddenly stood up from the grass, and shouted, "Big brother! ”
Ji Changkong's eyes were quick, and he pulled her down, so that she was not discovered by the group, but the fish clan seemed to hear the sound and glanced this way.
Bei Ran hurriedly said: "That's my eldest brother!" ”
Ji Changkong pulled her in a little more, and replied: "I know, I will save it, don't worry, but now we can't be impulsive, there are many people on the other side, and I'm afraid that we won't get any benefit by acting rashly." ”
Beiran silently responded, but he was still anxious in his heart.
While speaking, two more people came out with a mermaid, and two tears fell from Beiran's eyes: "That's my fifth sister." ”
After that, people kept coming out of the water, and they were still held in custody before, and then they drove the fish people out like cattle. Bei Ran's heart was cold, those were all relatives of her clan, hundreds of fish were here, and I didn't know where these people were going to take them.
After the fish were driven away, at the end of the day, a young woman in a black robe came out, although she was born a little beautiful, but the evil stinginess on her face made people look uncomfortable.
And when Ji Changkong saw this person, he really didn't know what words to use to describe it, and there was only one thought in his mind: the ghost will not go away.
