smile to heart

=======================

After falling into the deep sea, the three of them strayed into a long underwater road. Two water walls stood abruptly beside them, and the dark blue sea water flowed between the barriers.

Looking at the unknown roundabout road ahead, the three of them stood there for a while, and had no choice but to follow the road and look for the exit.

Walking to the end, a huge and gorgeous palace suddenly appeared in front of you, decorated with countless shining crystals and colorful corals, which is eye-catching.

When the three of them were wandering, the door was suddenly opened a crack, and a little boy who looked like a shrimp ran out in a hurry, staring at Qi Zhong and the others timidly, as if trying to recognize them.

After recognizing it, he stepped forward respectfully: "Several benefactors, please follow me."

Qi Zhong looked back and saw that there was no one else. He turned back again, pointed at himself, and asked, "Benefactor? Us?"

Xiami Boy nodded cutely: "Yes. Mother-in-law has been waiting for you for a long time."

"What mother-in-law? No, little guy, wait a minute, where is this? Who is your master? We don't know each other, so why did we go in with you..."

Because he didn't know what the hell he fell into, Qi Zhong seemed to be on guard and tried to evade it.

The little boy looked embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to answer him.

Mu Yun rescued him, and said gently: "Little friend, lead the way."

Qi Zhong curled his lips, snorted, followed behind him, and slowly stepped into the mysterious palace gate.

The three of them followed Xiami Tongzi, bypassed a red bridge, and came to the main hall of Fudeng Huahuan. When the door attendant saw the distinguished guest coming, he quickly pushed open the red door and welcomed him into the hall.

After entering the hall, the coral and emerald are gorgeous, and the room is bright, but it makes people feel weird and unreal.

After a while, there was a burst of laughter from a moon gate on the left.Gradually, a group of young women with light gait came out, dressed pretty, but showing the scenery of the seabed.

"Hey, is that him?"

"That's right, she looks really good-looking."

"But you must keep him..."

Several women seem to be young and do not understand vulgar feelings.Facing the visitors, peeping quietly, even hiding their faces and laughing, whispering.

"Girls, please tell me, where is this place?"

Mu Yun was stared at by them for a while for no reason, but no one came out to greet him, so he had to go up and ask.

The group of women looked surprised and looked at each other in a daze.

"Girl? He called us girl..." a woman laughed.

The rest followed suit: "Haha...you can really talk..."

Qi Zhong curled his lips, thinking that it's fine if these women are not human, and they are so rude, pointing fingers in front of people.

"My benefactor, please wait a moment, my princess is still dressing up, please wait patiently."

After teasing for a while, a maidservant who was more mature finally came out to explain.

The three of them were silent for a while, feeling weird.

"Grandma is here."

Inside the Moon Gate Cave, there was another loud call.When the woman who was joking just now heard the words, they all restrained their laughter, and their expressions became respectful.

Qi Zhong and the others followed the prestige, only to see a dignified and charming woman, coming out gracefully.

She doesn't look old, but she calls her mother-in-law.Qi finally felt a little puzzled.

With a smile on her face, the woman smiled politely at the three of them, to be precise, at Mu Yun, and then glared at the groveling girls severely, dissatisfied.

"The distinguished guest is here, why don't you look at the tea reception, just stand aside, extremely stupid."

"Yes, mother-in-law."

The maids responded and slowly got busy, guiding them to sit down and pouring tea.

At this time, above the main hall, the red curtain hung low, and a pair of embroidered shoes appeared in front of the couch. A woman covered her face, moved lightly with lotus steps, and sat down slowly next to the woman. The gauze curtain, look at the person coming.

"Is this the princess?" Min Zhi asked in a low voice, curious.

Qi Zhong nodded in agreement.Noticing that the woman's eyes had been wandering in front of him, he reacted, and he quietly leaned into Mu Yun's ear and joked.

"Hey, brother Yun. You see, that princess seems to be looking at you all the time, can't it be..."

Mu Yun frowned and shouted in a low voice, "Brother Qi, don't talk nonsense."

Returning to his seat resentfully, Qi Zhong was also a little depressed, and whispered quietly: "I hope I am talking nonsense."

"Several benefactors, come here to visit, we are far away from welcome."

The elegant and dignified woman just now spoke politely.

Qi Zhong frowned, thinking: Visit?Just leave a road leading to your home. If you don’t come here, where else can you go?

Without waiting for Mu Yun to ask, the woman took the initiative to explain:

"We are the mermaid clan at the bottom of the sea. We have been bullied by the dragon on the sea all year round. We took refuge here and could not protect the common people. Now, several benefactors are brave enough to kill the dragon and return us a piece of pure land. I am really grateful There are three."

"Oh, so that's the case. Are you a demon or a god?" Qi Zhong finally understood and asked.

The woman hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "We are spirits. This is my daughter Lannu."

The curtain was lifted slightly, and the princess nodded coquettishly to the three of them, then quickly lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"In addition, I wonder if you could pick up some elixir or something when you killed the dragon?"

"Yes. A small bead that emits light." Qi finally told the truth.

When the woman saw the thing in his hands, she was excited: "It's this thing, it's this thing. Many years ago, the sea dragon broke into here and took it away. Since then, it has lived forever and made waves on the sea."

"This thing is called Jiangsheng Pill. It can make flesh and bones, heal hundreds of wounds, and has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. It has boundless magic power. It is the treasure of our clan and township. It can protect us from immortality. Since we were taken away by the dragon, we I can no longer keep my youth forever, and countless people of my clan will die of old age."

"Since it's a treasure, how did you get it?" Min Zhi asked a lot.

Qi Zhong smiled and said, "Of course they practiced it themselves."

As he said that, he was about to hand it back to the Merman clan, but was stopped by Mu Yun: "Wait, this is a panacea left by Shangjiang, please don't return it to the wrong person."

The woman's expression froze, and she asked in surprise, "How many people are from Shangjiang?"

Qi Zhong suddenly understood the other party's intention to embezzle the treasure for himself, his face was displeased, and he hummed: "That's right. And I'm still the next Immortal Venerable."

Min Zhi stared at him speechlessly, then shouted in a low voice: "I'm sick, what a braggart, quickly let them take us out to sea."

Seeing the doubts on the faces of Lan and Nv, Qi Zhong stopped pretending, and said bluntly: "Ma'am, this bead is not yours. Now that the tea is drunk and the dragon is dead, let's not bother you too much, treasure." I also took it away with me, and I bid farewell."

"Wait!" Seeing that she was about to leave, the woman was unwilling to persuade her to stay, "Since benefactor wants to take this elixir, can you promise me a merciless request?"

"Madam, please tell me, we can help if we can." Seeing the compromise, Qi Zhong replied kindly.

The woman looked at her eyes and smiled, opened the bead curtain, led her daughter's hand, walked down the steps slowly, stood beside Mu Yun, and said with a smile: "I don't know anything, but most of the mermaids are female. , has been bullied by foreigners, and has been frightened all the year round...so I intend to keep this benefactor and marry the little girl. From now on, this palace and the people will belong to you, I don't know what the benefactor will do?"

"Of course not!"

Before Mu Yun expressed his opinion, Qi Zhong vetoed it first, and unconsciously stepped forward to block the two of them.

The faces of the mother and daughter froze, quite embarrassed.

Qi Zhong calmed down a little, and insisted: "Our young master Yun already has his own heart, forgive us for not being able to agree to your request."

Lan Nu was a little disappointed, and looked at her mother, a little unwilling.

The woman was a little annoyed with her hands behind her back, and her tone was not as polite as before: "Then you keep the Jiangsheng Dan. Otherwise, don't even think about going to sea."

Upon hearing the threat, Min Zhi immediately became angry, and said displeasedly, "What? You changed your face so quickly? Is this your attitude towards your benefactor?"

Mu Yun tactfully persuaded: "Please also understand the reason."

The two retreated behind the curtain and discussed in a low voice for a while.The woman changed her demeanor again and entertained the three of them politely.

"Hey, I'm confused. Since the three of you don't want to be here, you should drink up the rough tea on the table. I'll send someone to fetch the sea elixir. After you take it, you can go to sea smoothly."

"Thank you for your kindness." Mu Yun thanked.

The maidservants brought three crystal clear pills and placed them on the three-person table one by one.

Qi Zhong gently picked up the pill, compared it with the Palm Heart Pill, and found some similarities.At this time, Min Zhi bumped into him suddenly, Qi Zhong didn't pay attention, and all the elixir in his hand fell back into the plate.

Qi Zhong panicked, and the plate turned into three similar pills, which couldn't be distinguished at all, and asked, "Hey, why are you bumping into me?"

Min Zhi looked apologetic: "I didn't do it on purpose, but my hand suddenly shook."

"Oh, there are three of them, just pick one and eat it."

Min Zhi didn't know that he mixed Jiangsheng Pill into it, mistakenly thought it was an extra pill, picked one up casually, threw it into his throat, and swallowed it while drinking tea.

"Hey you..." Qi Zhong suddenly saw that she had eaten the elixir, and felt remorse.

"What's the matter? Eat quickly, we can leave after eating." Min Zhi said innocently.

Qi Zhong lowered his eyes, not wanting her to blame herself, nodded and said: "It's nothing. I'll take it right away."

Just when Qi finally wanted to take the special elixir, he suddenly saw that the one in Mu Yun's hand was brightly colored, which was quite different from the rest on the plate, and he felt inexplicably weird.

He stopped and said, "Hey, let me exchange one with you. I think yours tastes better..."

Before Mu Yun agreed, Qi Zhong snatched the one in his hand first, and took it with water.

Lan and Nv were shocked, and they stopped and said, "No change!"

Swallowing his throat, Qi Zhong asked doubtfully, "Why is it bitter?"

Min Zhi noticed the strangeness, and became sharper: "It's obviously sweet."

"He, the one he ate was poison..." In desperation, Lan Nu leaked her words and looked at Qi Zhong worriedly.

Min Zhi slapped him angrily, and shouted: "Idiot, who told you to change things randomly!"

Qi Zhong was still at a loss, thinking deeply, if he didn't change, wouldn't it be the person next to him who was poisoned.

Mu Yun's eyes were sullen, and he asked Lan and Nv coldly, "The antidote!"

The mother and daughter were quite guilty, and Lan Nu had no choice but to tell the truth: "This poison is a love medicine called Sanshengcuo. If you want to detoxify it, you need your loved one to take another pill called Acacia Bitterness." Medicine, to transfer the poison. Otherwise, there is no cure for the poison, and you only have one month to live."

"And even if you both take these two kinds of love medicine, the toxicity cannot be eradicated, because once the person with the same heart is separated from you, or if you love each other ruthlessly, both of you will suffer heart-pounding pain in this life, and life is worse than death. "

"What a poisonous drug, you are so despicable!" Min Zhi couldn't hold his breath, and almost wanted to curse.

Lan's daughter is pampered and has never been scolded. She grabs her mother and sheds tears of grievance.

The woman felt distressed to comfort her, and then apologized to the three of them: "Please don't get angry. It is really helpless for us to use this medicine. At first, we just wanted to use this to keep Mr. Mu Yun. I want to hurt you two..."

"A lot of nonsense! Are you keeping people with your life? If Mr. Yun takes this medicine, will you be able to take it for granted and threaten him with his life and stay in this ghost place for the rest of your life?"

Qi Zhong slapped the tea table, furious.

The woman felt guilty and kept silent, shaking her head helplessly.

After a long silence, Mu Yun stepped forward, walked to Lan Nu's side, and said in a warm voice, "His Royal Highness, can you move, Mu Yun would like to say a few words to you."

Lan Nu hesitated, then nodded timidly.

Misunderstood that Mu Yun wanted to compromise, Qi finally said nervously: "Hey, don't go with her."

Min Zhi pouted speechlessly, and persuaded: "Oh, don't shout, Mr. Yun must have asked for the antidote for you."

"But what if you ask?" Qi Zhong said angrily.

Min Zhi was dumbfounded, a little discouraged, and softly probed: "Then... do you have someone you love deeply?"

Blinking his eyes guilty, Qi finally didn't answer her, but instead asked the woman: "Is there really no other way?"

The woman sighed: "It's not..."

Qi finally thought about it, and felt that it was unnecessary to ask. If that girl Lan really said it so seriously, after they were poisoned, there would be no guarantee that Mu Yun and Girl Lan would love each other deeply... There must be other ways.

Min Zhi also came to his senses, and snorted, "I know you guys are dishonest, and you use one trick after another."

The woman was speechless and had to acquiesce.

After a long time, Mu Yun and the two walked out of the inner hall with relaxed expressions.

Qi Zhong hurried forward and worriedly asked: "Hey, you won't really sacrifice your appearance and agree to her rude request, right?"

Mu Yun shook his head and said calmly, "It's okay. Let's go."

Lan and her mother whispered a few words, the two reached an agreement, accepted the reality, and personally sent the three of them to sea.
