Under One Person, the little witch only wants to collect elves

Chapter 189 Gold gives birth to water, so of course gold essence is needed to hatch water essence!
"I will go to accompany the governor first, Yan Sheng. Once the dishes are ready, I will call you over to meet the governor." Xie Ning said this and left slowly with his hands behind his back.

The fat and bloated figure passed through the curtain and then respectfully went under the cabin of the four-cornered pavilion.

The pleasure boat started from the riverside, first entered the small river in the town, and went east along the Nanyang River. The lights along the Mid-Autumn Festival streets flashed before Yan Huan's eyes. The river breeze suddenly rose, and the chill penetrated into his bones.

There are four guards at the bow and stern of the ship, two guards at the four corner pavilions, and two warriors with swords and guns in front of the pear wood door of the small elegant room in the cabin.

Without Xie Ning's summons, it would be difficult to force your way in front of the prefect.

Yan Huan closed his eyes and stood in front of the guardrail at the edge of the pleasure boat, waiting for the boat to sail through the downtown area of ​​Meicheng and enter the river again. A faint sound came from the bottom of the cabin.

That was the mermaid's scream that only Yan Huan, a congenital sorcerer, could hear.

"call--"

Yan Huan let out a long sigh, "The boat has passed through thousands of mountains."

Once you are on the river, you have no control over anything.

The lights in the elegant pavilion were bright, and the luxurious decorations set off the many officials present. They were scattered on both sides of the long table, all of them with smiles on their faces and flattering eyes, as if they were afraid that they could not please the governor who was sitting in the main seat.

It has long been no secret in official circles that the prefect has a pica habit.

So all the officials racked their brains to collect some rare and strange foods in order to win the favor of the prefect.

As the banquet started, a plate of "golden ant eggs" was served, each of which was plump, golden in color and exuding a faint sweet fragrance. It was followed by a bowl of "Drunken Snake Gallbladder Soup", which was made from snake gallbladder and was emerald green in color. There were still a few pieces of snake gallbladder residues floating in the soup. Finally, there was "grilled scorpion skewers", which were roasted to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a golden color and a spicy aroma.

"A bunch of fools!" Xie Ning raised the corner of his mouth and sneered to himself.

These foods are not strange at all, but lack the "special" taste.

With just these few things, they are not even worthy of the governor's attention.

The fat and round governor, who spoke in a sharp voice, glanced coldly at the officials, obviously not satisfied with their efforts.

At this moment, Xie Ning stood up, a smile on his face, bowed slightly and said: "Your Excellency, I have a 'unique' delicacy, please taste it."

He clapped his hands and signaled his men to bring the prepared "Jiangsheng pot".

"Sir, this is of course just an appetizer. The main course will have to wait a while."

Click!

With a dull sound, a huge black jar was slowly brought up.

The thick soup in the jar was boiling, and there was a piece of pink and tender meat the size of an orange bubbling in it. The heat was just right, and the meat was cooked neither loose nor falling apart.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know what the curled-up piece of meat that looks like a little man is.

"This is... Ugh!!!"

Upon seeing this, the officials immediately covered their mouths and noses, their faces turned pale, and some even started to retch on the spot.

The smell and the scene were beyond their endurance. Their stomachs churned and they could not control themselves.

The governor stroked his beard with great interest, "This is quite presentable."

Xie Ning was secretly proud of himself, and the smile on his face became brighter. He took a step forward and explained, "Sir, this soup is only cooked over a low fire, and the taste is unique and very fresh."

"The ingredients are also very good. Eating this child's meat can prolong your life and keep you young forever."

The governor nodded, took a sip of soup with a spoon, and pursed his lips.

Then, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Good stuff, then you can also try my private collection."

"Come on, come on!"

At the governor's command, a thick milky white soup was served. In the middle of the soup were two upside-down pieces of white meat that looked like camel humps. The meat became increasingly yellow as it went down.

The rest of the people suppressed their fear and nausea and forced a mouthful of soup into their stomachs with a spoon.

At this time, a shrill voice sounded, "Do you know what this is?"

"This white soup is milk. As for the meat, let's not talk about it~"

vomit!
Xie Ning felt very disdainful when he saw several people retching in agony.

A bunch of fools!
How did you gain wealth and glory?
It's just a strange food, I will eat it. Even if you ask me to swallow feces and urine, I won't even frown!
The governor brushed down his messy hair and said with a smile, "Only Lord Xie understands the meaning of this~"

Xie Ning wiped the gravy off his beard and said respectfully, "Then I will send someone to prepare the main course."

Xie Ning clapped his hands triumphantly, and a moment later, an oval white jade plate larger than a person was slowly pushed over. It was covered with a lid woven from bamboo strips, and radish carvings and lemon slices were exquisitely placed around it.

"The sashimi of the mermaid is delicious and hard to come by. Please taste it, Your Excellency."

Xie Ning had a smile on his face and was about to open the lid with his own hands when suddenly a strong smell of blood hit his nose.

The smell is extremely pungent, far exceeding the smell of raw meat.

Xie Ning's heart tightened, and a trace of doubt arose. His eyes turned to the kitchen worker who was wearing a cloth towel and half of his face was covered.

At this time, the man in the kitchen was busy with his head down, distributing knives for cutting fish tails alive to the officials present. His movements were skillful and quick, but Xie Ning felt more and more uneasy.

"Why does it smell so strong?" Xie Ning couldn't help but ask.

The chef stopped what he was doing, looked up, and said in a calm and cold voice: "Those who help the tiger are naturally stinking."

When Xie Ning heard the voice, he was stunned for a moment. The familiar tone made him startled.

"Mr. Yan, is that you!?"

"You're fucking crazy!"

when!
With the sound of metal collision, the knives that Yan Huan had not yet distributed suddenly moved and were instantly placed on the neck of the prefect.

The governor panicked and shouted in a shrill voice: "Hey? What's going on? Help~ Help~"

Hearing the cry for help, the officers and soldiers stationed outside immediately rushed in and quickly surrounded the entire houseboat.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense, and a layer of coldness condensed in the air.

"Tsk!" Xie Ning gritted his teeth, feeling a little uneasy, and suddenly opened the bamboo lid.

The moment the lid was opened, his pupils shrank sharply at the sight before him. Inside were broken body parts, bloody and with obvious signs of gnawing.

The owners of these body parts were obviously the guards he had arranged in the kitchen.

"You bold and unruly commoner, do you know who these people here are? They are all officials appointed by the imperial court and the pillars of the country!" Xie Ning roared, staring fiercely at the shining blade and clenching his fists.

When a mermaid runs away, she is running away with her own future!

If the prefect was injured, he would lose the official hat on his head.

Yan Huan tilted the knife, and the carefully polished blade easily cut the skin at the governor's throat. "Thank you, sir. We are so familiar with each other now. There is no need to flatter yourself."

"Birds of a feather flock together. I guess all the gentlemen present here are of the same kind as Lord Xie, right?"

The prefect was terrified, trembling all over, with cold sweat on his forehead, while the other officials were all pale and did not dare to act rashly.

Xie Ning raised his hand to signal that his threat failed, so he began to persuade him, "Calm down, think twice."

"Think about it, Mr. Yan. This pleasure boat is so small that there is no escape. Rather than ending up with a lose-lose situation, why don't we have a good talk? You are poor and destitute, so here is your chance to rise to prominence."

"Yes, yes, yes!" the governor hastily agreed, "If you let me go, I will ensure that you will be rich and prosperous."

Yan Huan remained unmoved. Just as the two sides were confronting each other, the pleasure boat suddenly shook, and the ship, which was originally anchored in the river, began to move slowly.

Everyone in the cabin felt a shake and looked shocked.

Xie Ning was stunned for a moment, then felt something was wrong. He turned his head and looked outside the boat, muttering in disbelief: "How is this possible? The anchor stone has been lowered, how can the pleasure boat move!"

"That mermaid!" Xie Ning suddenly realized and felt disheartened.

"That's impossible. The Black Rock can affect the gills behind their ears. No mermaid can get close to a ship with the Black Rock."

Yan Huan replied, "Of course it's possible. There is a new rope I added to the bottom of the anchor basket. It is difficult to detect from the front, but as long as the anchor enters the water, the thick hemp rope will spread out with the river current. At this time, as long as you pull the rope from a distance, the anchor will lift out the mud and sand."

"Without resistance, the anchor is nothing."

Xie Ning gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really believe that the preparations you made will be washed away by the current?"

"It's OK. After all, I'm lucky and God is very kind to me." Yan said with a smile, "Including today, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the north wind is howling, and the wind is even stronger."

There are many reefs along the south bank of the river, and fishing boats often sink. No one knows this better than Xie Ning, the magistrate of Meicheng County.

Xie Ning was furious and gritted his teeth, "You have failed the exams many times. The court doesn't even consider you as a human being. Why do you bother to pretend to be righteous for your country?"

"Thank you, sir, for your polite words. To put it simply, you were the ones who wanted to eat my wife first." Yan Huan replied. Hearing the wind outside the boat getting stronger, it must be that the speed of the pleasure boat has increased again.

Xie Ning suppressed his anger and glanced at the bewildered governor.

He sat down slowly and sighed. That's it!

"My Lords, please listen to me."

"Today's incident was caused by the governor who, out of sympathy for the people, went to Meicheng for an inspection. He unexpectedly encountered villains on the way and was heroically killed."

As soon as he said this, the governor who had a knife on his neck was stunned, and immediately knew what he was going to do, "Xie Ning, how dare you be so presumptuous!?"

Xie Ning picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of golden scorpion and put it in his mouth to chew, then looked back at the soldiers with swords.

"If we continue to be in a stalemate like this, we will all perish together and our bodies will sink into the sea. Please make a choice. If you try now, there may be a glimmer of hope."

"As for the governor, this is my Meicheng district's business after all, I will apologize to the emperor."

The remaining officials looked at each other at first, but after thinking carefully, they realized that there was no better choice, so they all agreed.

Yan Huan smiled bitterly and shook his head, then hit the governor on the head with the blade of the knife.

"My Lord, look at these ungrateful wolves you raised with so much effort, and now you just abandon them."

"Let's see who dares to move!" the prefect shouted harshly, his tone less feminine and more masculine and strong, but no one listened to him.

At Xie Ning's signal, the sword-wielding guards approached step by step and trapped Yan Huan in a corner.

The blade gleamed coldly under the light, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. The governor was tightly controlled by Yan Huan, his face was pale, and he dared not move.

At this moment, the pleasure boat suddenly shook violently, and the hull made a heart-wrenching "creaking" sound.

Everyone was thrown off balance and staggered by the sudden shaking.

There was a muffled sound coming from the pleasure boat, as if it was hit by a huge object, and a big hole was smashed in the cabin wall by the reef.

The shark rocks hidden in the cracks of the boat planks scattered and drifted with the river current.

The river water rushed in quickly from the breach, and the pleasure boat suddenly became shaky. There was chaos inside, with screams and exclamations intertwined. The officials were panicked, and the guards were also disrupted by this sudden change.

Before Xie Ning could react, he was hit by the delicacies on the table. The soup covered his whole body and his face was pressed tightly against the boiled fetus.

In panic, he pushed hard and pulled the disgusting thing off his face. As soon as he regained his sight, the scene in front of him terrified him - the pleasure boat was sinking rapidly, and the dark river water was rushing in from all directions, and in a blink of an eye it had already submerged his knees.

In this chaotic moment, Xie Ning caught a glimpse of a pair of strange eyes emerging from the river. These eyes were either dark green or scarlet, emitting a creepy light, spying on him like underwater demons.

Shark!

"Ahhhh!" Amid the chaos of the gradual collapse, Xie Ning struggled to crawl towards a place that had not yet been submerged by the river water.

The boat tilted, and he struggled to crawl to the prefect's side. He grabbed with one hand, but he didn't grab the prefect's belt, but grabbed the symbol of his identity.

"Ahhhhh!" Xie Ning screamed in despair and tightly grasped the talisman. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the token that he had been longing for all his life.

The boat continued to tilt and he inevitably fell into the river.

The moment he fell into the water, before Xie Ning could react, he felt his body being torn apart by a powerful force. The mermaid pounced on him from the water, piercing his flesh with its sharp teeth, and blood dyed the river water red.

The mermaid bit his limbs without mercy, tearing off his flesh piece by piece.

Xie Ning screamed in agony, his body torn into pieces in the water. Before his last glimmer of consciousness faded, he only saw a bunch of internal organs floating in the scarlet sea water, some twisted intestines, and a black heart...

The prefect was so frightened when he saw all this that he lost his balance and fell into the water.

A merman immediately pounced on him, hugged him, and bit off the flesh on his shoulder fiercely.

The prefect screamed in pain, his face ashen, but in despair, he suddenly remembered the mermaid he had been thinking about, and a trace of hysterical madness flashed in his eyes.

"Mermaid! Mermaid sashimi!"

He roared and bent down to bite the mermaid's lower body covered with black scales.

The merman roared and bent hard, breaking the governor's spine. With a shrill scream, the bloated man died completely.

Yan Huan's body was submerged in the river water. Suddenly, he saw a pink figure flash in the water.

Mei Niang!

Yan Huan stretched out his hand and grabbed Mei Niang's jade arm with colorful scales.

The two men fled desperately, swam quickly to the shore, and finally climbed onto the reef. The river crashed against the shore, and the pleasure boat behind them had completely sunk. Bursts of screams were heard in the darkness, and then disappeared in the wind.

Mei Niang sat on the reef, panting, looking at the river in the distance.

Ahhhhh! "

She suddenly burst into tears, venting all her relief and fear at having escaped death.

Tears slid down her cheeks and turned into beads on the ground.

It is the mermaid's tears filled with true feelings!

Yan Huan held up the tears and watched the crystal clear beads glowing in the dark, even brighter than the full moon.

"So, this is the end, right?"

Mei Niang took Yan Huan's hand and clenched it tightly, "I present you with a pearl."

Her fishtail turned into colorful bubbles, spreading from top to bottom, wrapping her entire body bit by bit.

"May you be as elegant and handsome as the breeze and pine forest, with a noble temperament."

"Otherwise, even if you can see through the mystery of the world, you won't be able to see her..."

As soon as the words were spoken, the foam burst and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Yan Huan came to his senses and found himself at the bottom of the Xiushui River again. The giant clam that was living on the boulder had lost its color, and the huge pearl had shrunk and fell into his palm.

"So I accepted the test of a big clam, and this little bead is the water spirit?"

"Um···"

After a moment's silence, Yan Huan floated to the surface of the water.

Anyway, as for the result, it’s still good.

······
On the bank of Xiushui River, Zhang Guangming, who had been implanted with epidermal growth factor, squatted on the beach, staring blankly at the water surface as the storm was gradually rising.

He waited until Yan Huan surfaced before he slowly walked forward.

After asking, Yan Huan realized that the whole thing took no more than half an hour.

"Thank you for your hard work. Now draft a 30,000-word confession and go to the Discipline Inspection Commission and the police station to turn yourself in."

Yan Huan waved his hand and sent Zhang Guangming away, then took out the pearl again.

"The appearance of the five elements' spirits is based on the wishes of the sorcerer they are looking for. So why is the water spirit a bead?"

"I'm not going to hatch it, am I?"

Yan Huan was immersed in thought, and when he was absorbed in it, a clear and bright spirit emerged from behind him.

"Xiao Huan, give her to me."

"Huh?" After meeting Sister Qingming, Yan Huan suddenly understood everything.

Gold produces water!

Qi Bo said: The kidney belongs to water, which is the innate true water. Water is born from metal, so the lung metal is the mother of the kidney.

If you want to hatch water spirit, you have to use golden spirit!
"Sister, I'm not good at this, so I'll leave it to you." Yan Huan obediently handed over the pearl.

Qingming rolled up his white sleeves and raised his fair and slender arms, "I feel like you just thought of something very rude."

"Ahem..." Yan Huan pretended to cough a few times, "That's not happening at all."

"Let's talk..."

Yan Huan thought of everything that happened in the Pearl World, and there was still one question that remained unanswered.

"I saw in the Pearl World that there was a famous prostitute in the capital named Liu Yanyan, who looked exactly like Sister Qingming. Why is that?"

The golden essence clenched his fist clearly and collected the water essence in the golden light.

"What you saw in Mingzhu, after all, carries part of Wangxiang's wish. As for its purpose, perhaps we can only wait until she wakes up to find out."

"But according to my guess, it is probably related to the previous incarnation of the Five Elements. The water spirit at that time was a liquid beauty with a body of clear water."

"Xiao Huan, do you still remember what I looked like at that time?"

Yan Huan thought about it for a moment and nodded, "I remember, he was a very 'intelligent' golden egg."
