As his eyes flashed, he suddenly grabbed his ankle and dragged him into the lake.
There was a crash and the lake water splashed in all directions.
Balian sank into the lake uncontrollably, but he didn't panic much. He didn't need to breathe anyway, as long as he drowned.
The mermaid is not evil-minded and has no intention of drowning him. She might as well just be joking.
She put her hands around his waist, gently supporting his body, and swaying gently to prevent him from sinking.
Balian didn't know where to place his hands. The other person's body was very soft, and it felt like no matter how he placed it, he simply opened his arms and looked stiff as if he was hugging him.
The mermaid chuckled, her smile was clear and beautiful. She squinted her eyes and looked at Balian, breathing lightly and said, "Little boy, why is your body colder than the lake water? Is it cold?"
Balian smiled bitterly and said: "Perhaps I will never be able to feel what cold feels like in this life?"
"Pitiful."
The mermaid looked pitifully, and then said: "Do you know? Why do the creatures in this mountain not like humans, but like to be close to you and that little deer?"
Balian thought for a while and replied seriously: "Because neither Xiao Lu'er nor I are human."
The mermaid was slightly startled, the faint light of the lake reflected under her beautiful eyes, and then she smiled and said: "But it's not just that, you have a special smell. Although I can't feel the breath of life in you, I can feel it. The beauty and brevity of life make this young man very pitiful.”
The slightly explicit words made Balian a little embarrassed.
The mermaid chuckled and said: "My name is Lin Yuan, what is your name, young man?"
Bailian said: "Si Chen."
Lin Yuan narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Si Chen, I remember this name. By the way, you look like you are not very good at swimming. Do you want me to teach you how to swim?"
After saying that, before Bailian could answer whether he was willing or not, she hugged him tightly, her beautiful fish tail swayed out of the water, and she hugged him and nimbly dived into the lake, swimming happily.
…
…
Lin Guiyuan's clothes were soaked, and he walked step by step in the dark wetland.
The golden robe was dripping with water, and his hair was wet. He stopped somewhere and looked at the old man in front of him in silence.
The old man is in a huge tree.
In other words, he is the huge tree.
Because at this moment, his upper body was in human form, but his lower body had turned into wood and merged with the huge tree under him.
Although he is the mountain god here, at the same time, he is also imprisoned in this mountain.
Although he had eternal life, he also lost his eternal freedom.
"Yuan'er, you shouldn't have brought those people in today."
The old man's voice is old but still powerful, giving people a feeling of strong power.
Lin Guiyuan slowly knelt down and kowtowed deeply to the old man. His white forehead was stained with black soil, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Father Shan, I broke the rules, please punish me."
The old man chuckled, his eyes full of kindness and kindness: "You kid, you've always done this when you made mistakes since you were a child. You know I won't punish you."
Lin Guiyuan smiled and said: "Father Shan, the situation today is too special. Shebi's corpse woke up from death and hunted down the local mortals. I took them to escape and had no choice but to go into the mountain."
"Special..." The old man's eyes suddenly became distant and complicated.
He murmured: "Yes, today is special... Guiyuan, there are practitioners outside the mountain gate who have discovered traces of the formation. Can you go and collect the formation and let them in?"
Lin Guiyuan's body was shaken, he raised his head and said in confusion: "Father Shan, the mountain guarding formation protects you and this living creature, how can you accept it at will?"
The old man sighed softly: "I have been demoted and punished by the emperor for ten thousand years. I have thought about it for ten thousand years and guarded this mountain for ten thousand years. I still don't know what crime I have committed. I have been demoted away from my homeland for ten thousand years and still have no time to return." That day, I think...maybe there won't be that day at all."
"Father Shan..." Lin Guiyuan murmured.
…
…
In the lake, Baili Ansheng was dragged from one end to the other by Mermaid Linyuan.
It had been a long time since I had seen any outsiders, so Lin Yuan and the other mermaids in the lake were very welcoming.
Even the deer wandering on the shore was pulled into the water by them.
The deer didn't understand the nature of water, so it screamed twice and found that with the gentle support of several mermaids, it didn't sink into the water, nor did it choke on the lake water.
I felt their warm kindness and was no longer afraid.
Playfully, he kicked his little hooves and paddled through the water.
"Sister Linyuan, why is your tail a different color from the tails of other mermaids?"
Lin Yuan seemed to be tired of playing, so she sat on the shore of the lake with Bai Lian, using her waist as a boundary, and the beautiful fish tail of her lower body gently paddled on the lake surface, creating ripples of water.
She took out a shell from her hand at some point and lowered her head to count the huge pearls inside the shell.
The pearl is round and exudes a faint brilliance in the night. It is obviously an extremely precious luminous pearl.
There are many mermaids in the lake, but most of them have red tails like koi fish, and some have light purple tails.
Only Lin Yuan, her tail is as blue as the dream sea, and even her scales are as blue as water, which is very tempting.
The slender fingertips that were picking up the pearls paused slightly.
She lowered her head, her beautiful eyes rippled as the lake water swelled.
She smiled slightly, picked out the largest luminous pearl and handed it to Balian, and said with a smile: "Nothing in the world is absolutely the same, especially beautiful things, right?"
Seeing the sadness under that smile, Balian didn't ask any more questions. He took the luminous pearl and said seriously: "Your tail is very beautiful."
Lin Yuan was slightly startled, and a beautiful watery light appeared in her blue eyes.
The rhythm of the aqua blue fish tail rippling on the lake surface became much more lively.
She smiled slightly and said, "You are the first person to say that."
Wow...
The sound of water rising from the lake surface did not originate from the direction where the deer were playing, but from the center of the lake.
The wet golden robe clung to the man's tall body, and his black hair was dripping with water.
Lin Guiyuan walked up from the bottom of the lake step by step, stepping on the lake water under his feet, looking towards Bai Lian and Lin Yuan with a stunned expression.
This was the first time he saw a creature in the lake being so close to an outsider.
Especially Linyuan.
I haven't seen her smile like this for a long time.
Lin Guiyuan trotted up to the two of them and said, "Sister Lin...Sister Linyuan, Shan...Father Shan said that...outsiders cannot be brought into this...lake."
Lin Yuan smiled nonchalantly, put her arm around Bai Lian's shoulders and said, "But he is not a human being, and neither is that deer."
Lin Guiyuan was stunned, lowered his head and muttered softly for a while, as if this was really the case.
"You went to see Father Shan?" Lin Yuan asked.
Lin Guiyuan nodded and said: "Father Shan... looked... strange today. He asked me... to open the barrier in the mountain... and said that someone in the outside world was being violated by... demonic spirits."
