Chapter 67
Qiongsha understood, and he glanced at Dengru, who didn't avoid his gaze. So he stepped forward to support the old Dragon King who was still trying to bow, and put away his mischievous look, saying, "Old ghost, that's enough."
"Not enough, not enough, we still need two more."
"That's enough." Qiongsha said, "This is not what my mermaid tribe is looking for."
The old Dragon King stopped moving and looked up: "What do you like? I'll do it." Then he added: "Oh - I see, it's a magic spell, right? Wait until I'm done, and I'll do it right away."
The Immortal God Curse has come out. It seems that a lot of things happened during his absence. Qiongsha looked at Dengru again. It must be this kid who did it. He helped the old dragon king up and said, "Old ghost, get up. It's been ten thousand years since we were young. Whether it's the Immortal God Curse or the return of the land, my mermaid tribe does not want to use threats to take it back."
"Threat?" The old Dragon King laughed. "No, absolutely not. It's a gift. I'm giving it as a gift. I'm giving it as a gift on my own initiative."
"Old ghost, our tribe has been at odds for thousands of years. What my mermaid tribe wants is future peace, not temporary peace."
"I can cast magical spells." The old Dragon King said seriously.
"Will your entire dragon clan be prosperous?" Qiongsha looked at the old dragon king, "Can you ensure that your entire dragon clan will not bully my mermaid clan?" He smiled, "So, this is no longer a matter between you and me, but a matter between the two clans, old ghost, do you understand?"
"This..." The old Dragon King stuttered, "Who-who dares to disobey my orders?"
Qiongsha smiled: "In places you can't see, there are many tribesmen who disobey your orders."
The old Dragon King felt a lump in his throat again, and simply opened his mouth: "Then what should I do in order for you to lend me the Heavenly Book?"
Qiongsha glanced at Dengru again. Based on his understanding of this devilish boy, he was sure that he had not told the truth to the old Dragon King. However, he could not expose his son's reputation in front of outsiders. He still had to maintain it. So, Qiongsha quickly thought of a solution in his mind.
"Come back tomorrow," Qiongsha said, "I need to discuss this. After all, borrowing the Heavenly Book is not a trivial matter, and it is not something that can be taken out casually."
This was delayed for another day. The old Dragon King was obviously unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. The Heavenly Book was in someone else's hands. He could only nod and agree. But before he left, Deng Ru stopped him and said, "Wuya Islands, are you trying to default on your debt?"
"Oh - right, right." The old Dragon King slapped his head and laughed, "I forgot."
Immediately, a flash of white appeared in the sky, and a wooden sign with a dragon pattern appeared in the air. Then the dragon pattern on the sign disappeared sparsely, and it became a smooth wooden sign. Then it flew in front of Deng Ru. The old Dragon King smiled and said, "Well, now the Wuya Islands are ownerless. You can carve the mermaid tribe's crest on it."
Deng Ru held the wooden sign without any patterns. He knew that the sign in his hand was the title deed of the Endless Islands. His hands were shaking. Qiong Sha did not speak the whole time. Seeing that Deng Ru was a little excited, Qiong Sha took the sign and said to the old Dragon King: "The mermaids will not take the Endless Islands for nothing."
Then, the old merman king waved his hand in the air and sent the old dragon king out of the fog array of Worry-Free Island.
Everything returned to normal. After the old dragon king left, the tribesmen also relaxed their alert. The beach was sparkling again.
Qiongsha looked at Dengru and said, "Tell me, what's going on."
After all, he was his father, so Deng Ru dared not hide anything and told him everything.
"So, something bad has really happened to the Dragon Clan?" Qiongsha frowned, "Then you shouldn't take advantage of someone's illness to kill him."
"Just give him back the way he has treated you." Deng Ru was not convinced.
"If a dog bites you, do you have to bite it back?" Qiongsha looked at Dengru, "Your father knows that you hate the dragon clan. Hate is an obsession that will harm people. It will grow with you for the rest of your life and make you lose yourself. Do you think it's worth it?"
"But..." Deng Ru wanted to argue again, but was interrupted by the Mermaid King. "Hating someone is the most unprofitable thing in the world. As long as you are alive, you will breathe under his shadow, invisible and intangible, relying on a few scattered things in your mind to support your hatred. Invisibly, you become a puppet of the person you hate. The most ridiculous thing is that no one forced you, you chose to be a puppet. Is it worth it? Is it worth it? No matter whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, once it happens, it is gone and dissipated. The past cannot be returned. Even if we are immortals, we cannot return to the past."
Yes, no matter good or bad, once it's over, it will disappear. Why can't he forget the bad things?
Qiongsha looked at Deng Ru standing there in a daze, and he showed a gratified expression. It turned out to be his son. He could understand something with just a few words of advice. He did not disturb him, but watched him quietly. After years of seclusion, his son had grown up. He could threaten the old Dragon King and win new territory for the merman tribe.
Can we not do that?
For this, Qiongsha is still very happy and relieved.
Just as he was secretly rejoicing, Deng Ru spoke up: "Father, I understand. The past is the past, but the shame and hurt I have experienced are all recorded on the sin stone and cannot be erased. The past and forgiveness are two different things. The past is me letting myself go, and not forgiving is my principle."
Qiongsha's light brown eyes hid a smile. The child is teachable. He has grown up. He has really grown up. After a while, Qiongsha couldn't hold back any more and burst into tears: "My son has grown up, he has grown up——"
Deng Ru held on to the old mermaid king, wishing he could find a crack in the rock to crawl into.
Just after seeing off the old Dragon King, another big Buddha arrived unexpectedly.
Inside the palace of the mermaid tribe, the old merman king hadn't even warmed up his seat on the pearl-inlaid throne when he sensed an ancient demonic aura. With a stern face, he stood up suddenly, and the next moment, Han Fengci appeared.
He was wearing a black robe made of dark divine silk, and was surrounded by dark demonic energy. Such pure demonic energy, could it be -
Qiongsha's long, flat eyes were wide open like pearls: "You - you are the ancient demon god?"
Han Fengci raised his eyes and smiled contemptuously: "Mermaid King, how are you?"
Oh my god! This is really the ancient demon god!
Qiongsha immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "The demon god has come to my small Worry-free Island. Is there any trouble?"
"I'm here to see you."
"Ah?" Qiongsha was unable to respond for a moment.
It was also the first time that Deng Ru saw Han Fengci who had become a demon god. He still looked cold, no, even colder than before. He didn't know why the little phoenix liked him. She was so hot and scorching, but she fell in love with the coldest thing in the Three Realms. Now, he is the demon of the Three Realms, and no one is colder than him. Although Deng Ru was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to show it even if he had ten courage. Hearing that Han Fengci was looking for him, he took the initiative to step forward and bowed: "I don't know what the demon god wants to do with me."
"Borrow the Book of Heaven."
Why are all these people coming to borrow the Heavenly Book? When did the Heavenly Book become so popular? The old Mermaid King was puzzled. But he was a demon god, so how could he not lend it? So, Qiongsha said cheerfully, "Just come to me if you want to borrow the Heavenly Book."
He recited the incantation on the spot and summoned the heavenly book.
A golden wordless book floats in the air.
Qiongsha stepped forward cheerfully and explained to the demon god: "The fingertip blood of my mermaid clan can directly open the heavenly book. Just ask whatever the demon god wants to ask." Then, the old mermaid king pushed out a drop of blood from the tip of his index finger and dripped it on the heavenly book. In an instant, the heavenly book burst into a colorful light.
Yes, in fact, Deng Ru did not completely deceive the old Dragon King. The Mermaid Tribe's Heavenly Book is the Mermaid Tribe's most precious treasure, and of course it protects the Mermaid Tribe. In order to avoid other tribes' concerns, without the Mermaid Tribe's permission, you must pay something to get the guidance of the Heavenly Book.
But what Dengru didn't expect was that Han Fengci actually asked how the gods could distinguish between flesh and blood.
The words in the heavenly book:
Anything that is the same between the two people, such as their hair, their nails, their blood, their saliva, etc., as long as it is the same, and then chant the ancient spell - Nansajuzhituo, □□.
The old Mermaid King and Deng Ru were unable to react for a moment, and were stunned by the questions asked by the Demon God. When they came to their senses, especially the old Mermaid King, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He should not be here and should clear the place and leave in time. He felt that he knew a huge secret, would he be silenced?
The old mermaid king's eyes were wide open, and he was always keeping a close eye on the movements of the demon.
The demon turned around and didn't even look at him, but walked straight towards Deng Ru.
The old Mermaid King's heart tightened, and he quickly stood between the two of them, begging for mercy from the Demon God with ghostly cries and howls: "My Lord Demon God, my mermaid tribe is a small tribe in the sea. If my son is blind and provokes you, I will be punished for him. I only have this one son. Don't look at my young age. I am already old and I won't live for many more years. Please be magnanimous and let the mermaid tribe go--"
The old mermaid king's cry was so loud that it shook the earth. Han Fengci's eyes twitched. What was going on? Did he say anything about what happened to the mermaids? He just wanted to ask Deng Ru a few questions.
The howl of the old merman king was really squeezed out of his throat with all his strength. It was too loud. He frowned. Deng Ru felt something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to stop the old merman king from making trouble: "Father, the demon god didn't say anything, but you are crying here. If you disturb the demon god later, you will really become a sinner who will bring eternal damnation to the merman tribe."
This threat was indeed effective. The Mermaid King immediately shut up and looked as usual, as if nothing had happened.
In Han Fengci's eyes, it was really - funny.
Well, he didn't want to stay here any longer, he looked at Deng Ru and asked, "Has the Divine Phoenix been here before?"
“I have been here.”
Han Fengci nodded, then turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared into the air.
The old Mermaid was stunned: "What are you two talking about?"
"Nothing." Deng Ru helped his father up who was still sitting on the ground. "He's not that scary. What are you doing?"
The old mermaid king glared again: "He is a demon god! Does he need a reason to kill you?"
Yes, the devil can travel across the three realms.
However, the question he asked was - what did he notice?
Do you want to tell Shen Feng?
Even if he told Shen Feng, he didn't know where Shen Feng was now. Forget it, let everything happen naturally. He couldn't explain the emotional entanglement between these two people.
Does Han Fengci really not remember him at all?
Apparently...
