Shanhaizhi

As far as I know, it's called the Holy Water Pool, and it's just a small pond in the palace.I made up my mind and chanted the mantra, and I, who was invisible, passed by the heavily guarded guards as if no one was there, and soon arrived at the holy water pool.Seen from the shore, the holy water pool is dark and unfathomable, calm like solidified amber.When the fingertips dipped into the water, it was as cold as a nine-day cold cave.

I smiled lowly, "Put away your stuff, little guy."

"Why do you look like you're fine?" A thicker black shadow grew from small to large, and slowly floated up from the bottom of the pool.Without the slightest sound, a wide flat fish head covered with gray hair stuck out of the water, its wide mouth opened and closed, and its two long beards danced happily along with the words.

"You're seriously the ugliest fish I've ever seen." I pointed this out deadpan.

"Ah, I don't obey! I don't obey!" The ugly fish exaggeratedly twisted its fat body, its tail slapped the water surface fiercely, and the splashed water was evaporated by the magic power of the body protector before it touched my clothes .

The sound is also terrible.

I looked at him coldly.

Seeing that I ignored him, Ugly Fish lost his energy, but he fell silent after a while, very good!I was about to proceed to the next step of communication, but saw him open his wide mouth, revealing densely intertwined fine white teeth, "As the price for offending me, my lord! Let me eat you!"

Instead of being angry, I laughed, the so-called ignorant people are not afraid, and today I have seen it!

A sliver of magic power was released, and he was suppressed so that he could not move. Seeing that his small round eyes showed unconcealable horror, the two playfully dancing beards also drooped weakly.

"However, after 100 years of Taoism, you can't even transform into a shape, so you dare to be so arrogant. Tell me, is the five-year drought in Ni country related to you?" I waited all day.

Seeing that his terrified expression grew stronger, I waited for three seconds, and there was silence.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot that you can't move at all right now. I'll give you 2 minutes to speak clearly." I apologized nonchalantly, and took back the trace of mana that leaked out of my body.

As soon as the magic power was retracted, the ugly fish immediately took a big breath, as if it had finally returned to the water after being stranded for a long time, a series of happy little bubbles appeared, and the long beard began to test around again, slowly paddling move.

"I thought I was going to die soon..." The ugly fish complained in a low voice, "Can you understand me?"

stupid question!

Seeing my impatient look, Ugly Fish said quickly, "I'm a flatfish."

"Our fish family was born in Heishui Mountain, and it will appear in countries with abundant water and humid climate. We swallow water in the air and exchange it with the environment we live in. This country can have more abundant rainwater , but if seen, it invites a drought. The drought will not end until we are killed, or the last drop of water in this country is drained."

"Six years ago, Ni country was still a place full of lakes. I swam to the holy water pool through the underground water system extending in all directions. Ah, it wasn't called the holy water pool at that time, it was just an unnamed pond in the corner of the palace. This is a good place , the majestic palace under the shade of green trees, and the flowery court ladies shuttled among them, talking and laughing Yan Yan——I like human beings. After that, I often came here to play. But in the second year, I was attracted by Hao, who was only five years old at the time. The little prince saw it. It was my carelessness. At that time, the main palace was playing silk and bamboo. Since the location was far away from me, in order to catch the illusory music, I concentrated so much that a human child approached me and couldn’t help it. Know."

I interrupted him, "So this is the cause of the severe drought in Ni country? Then why do you still see him often?"

"How do you know we meet often? How do you know my existence?" the fish asked puzzled.

"Don't interrupt! I'll tell you later. Go on. Keep it short!" I said impatiently.

Obviously you interrupted me first!This line of accusation was clearly written all over the face of the fish, but due to the difference in strength, he had no choice but to continue to speak honestly.

"My size is five times larger than the average fish, and I am black all over with hair on top, but he is not afraid of me at all, instead he greets me very kindly, anyway, I was seen by others, out of curiosity, I didn't immediately Swim away. He and I talked a lot on our own, although he thought I couldn't understand. But in fact, human language is no longer a problem for me. Gradually, I understood the loneliness and pain that haunted that child. Loneliness, the shackles of responsibility and glory that are shackled on him. He has no playmates, and no friends who can laugh and cry with him. There are court ladies to accompany him in plays, counselors to accompany him in chess games, and guards to accompany him. Wrestling... However, the court ladies have always surrounded and coaxed him, the counselors have taken the opportunity to instill him with the way of governing the country, and the guards have thought that they have lost to—he...he..."

"If you're all bullshit going on, I don't mind being brutal and making things work out." Should I be listening and thinking about one problem child rambling on about another problem child's mental development?Do not make jokes!

Maybe it was because my expression was too ferocious, the fish trembled its lips pitifully, and couldn't even complete the sentence.

"Next I will ask! You will answer! Only one sentence!" I turned a blind eye to his panic.

Hearing this, he just nodded his head vigorously to show his agreement.

"There has been no rain in Ni country for five years, and the river has dried up. Why is the air inside the city walls humid?"

"The codfish family has the ability to turn over water vapor, which can make the air humid by depleting their own cultivation, but gathering clouds to make rain is absolutely impossible."

"Why is this called the Holy Water Pool?"

"I've stayed here for too long, and my cultivation has spread out. After the severe drought in the Ni country, only the amount of water here has not decreased and the water has a different color. King Ni thinks it is a sign of the gods."

"Why are you still here?"

"I can't leave."

I raised my eyebrows, thinking that this little guy was subdued by the little prince of the Ni country, willing to waste his cultivation, and spend his whole life confined within the five-zhang palace wall. Unexpectedly, there is medicine to save him.

"Why?" I squatted down and leaned forward slightly, not noticing that my tone was much gentler.

Unexpectedly, the little guy even trembled, looking like he was finished.Speechless, am I so scary?

"Say it well, I won't kill you... I should." Although killing him with one knife would indeed make things much simpler.

The fish glanced at me suspiciously with careful eyes, and then said, "After the severe drought in Ni country, the water volume is decreasing day by day, but as long as I am in the water system, it will not be affected. After becoming good friends with Hao, once I greedy Just kidding, I stayed in the palace for one more month, and suddenly found that the lakes outside have all dried up, and I have nowhere to go."

……

I'm an idiot for thinking there's something hidden!Of course, the more idiot is this stupid fish!

"Do you really think Hao is your good friend?"

"Of course! Hao also regards me as his best friend!" the fish proudly shook its head and tail.

"I hope so." I straightened up, took out the golden scroll in my wide sleeve, condensed the magical power on my fingertips, and my shiny fingers quickly slid across the scroll, and the randomly scattered words had already fallen:

The black water flows into the mountains, while the Nanliu flows into the sea.Among them is the flatfish, whose shape is like that of a carp and its hairs, and whose sound is like that of a dolphin. If you see it, the world will be severely drought.

No more words, I turned around and left, the hem of the black robe embroidered with golden dark patterns turned a neat arc, and in the next second, the entire back disappeared into the air.
