Chapter 1002 The Legend of the Merman
"Chee—"
A loud eagle crow resounded through the sky, diverting Lu Sheng's attention. If you want to focus on this verbal version, Lu Sheng does not guarantee that he will die on the spot.
Extending his arm, the eagle fell from the sky, and its powerful claws firmly grabbed Lu Sheng's arm. Lu Sheng took off the bamboo tube and opened it to see.
"Husband, is there a case?" Bu Feiyan flashed and appeared beside Lu Sheng.
"No, it was the emperor who asked me to go to the capital. I just received a reward from the headquarters of the capital the day before yesterday. Dayu's nineteen states have been in peace this year. No major incident should have happened. If a case that could alarm the emperor, it would definitely alarm me as soon as possible."
"Then... are you going to Beijing? Are you still coming back for dinner?"
"It depends on what's going on. If it's not very important or something urgent, I'll come back." Lu Sheng said, summoning the Xihe sword.
Xihe Jian, who jumped onto a surfboard, soared into the sky. The little phoenix hung his head and secretly stood up. Seeing that Lu Sheng was really leaving, he jumped up happily.
"Ou Ye--"
"Ahemhe—" Ai Li still lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head with pleasing eyes, let out a light cough, and then shook her eyes back.
Only then did the little Phoenix realize that his father was gone and his mother was still there. And his mother's female power was the real big devil.
"Little Phoenix, now you are talking to your mother, what do you think?"
"I just don't understand the consciousness in my father's collection of poems... so I went to ask the teacher. If I don't understand, I have to ask the teacher, this is what you teach. Moreover, a poem is so long, with a total of 752 poems.
Let us recite it, this is to squeeze our childhood... If my father doesn't write well, then I won't be embarrassed if I recite it? Of course, I have to let the learned gentleman identify it..."
"I asked these in the dictatorial book today. What do you think? What does it mean to be cold and look at thousands of people? How can I tell whether I am a male or female? What does it mean to hear a girl coming and raise her body to the Qingchi Lake? I sat up in a dying illness and asked the guest where he came from and what was it?"
"Mom, please listen to my explanation..."
"Come with me!"
Stepping on the sword, traversing three thousand miles, and going straight to the end of the Yellow River.
It took less than two hours to return to the capital. In fact, Lu Sheng can do it now if he wants to break through the sound barrier. But after breaking through the sound barrier, you can't hear the sound in your ears. This feeling of deafness is wonderful for some people, but it doesn't like it to Lu Sheng.
The new capital is still called Kyoto, and the old capital is called the Emperor City. In fact, Dayu's hard-working family honors were not as stubborn as they imagined. After realizing that the situation was hopeless and if they were not lost, they would beg for mercy.
The new policy of the Imperial City was successfully implemented after the relocation of the new palace. And the degree of success can be said to be completely laid out in just three months and was on track.
But if you ask the emperor to move the palace back, don't think about it. Even if you don't have the matter, the old palace will be eliminated.
Lu Sheng entered the capital and landed outside the imperial city. After reporting, he was told to go directly to the imperial study room.
Lu Sheng came to the imperial study room with a familiarity. Si Lin was busy reviewing memorials. This was a rare scene for Lu Sheng, because many times Lu Sheng came, Si Lin was quite leisurely.
“Very busy?”
"Lu Sheng, are you here? Sit!" Si Lin said casually, writing quickly on the memorial, and after a while, he stopped to put down his pen.
"The Holy Body of Father has deteriorated recently. I have been with you all day and night these days. I have time to review the memorials only after I have time to review the memorials." Si Lin's complexion was very tired, and she even yawned when she spoke.
Lu Sheng frowned slightly, and sighed in his heart, "It's rare to be in the seventy years of age, and the Supreme Emperor is 68 years old. This is considered a long-lived among the emperors of all dynasties?"
Si Zheng's life span is approaching, and this is destiny, and Lu Sheng has already predicted it. Since Chen Ruojie died, Si Zheng's body has taken a sharp turn. Later, he abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor. His mentality has improved and extended his life span for several years.
Now, it is afraid that unless there is a miracle, it is impossible for the dead trees to come to spring.
"Although I know it in my heart,..." Si Lin's face looked a little ugly, "Forget it, I won't talk about this. I'm asking you this time to ask you, have you heard of the East China Sea mermaid?"
"The East China Sea Mermaid? What is that?" Although Lu Sheng asked, his face was a little gloomy, "Alien?"
"There are clouds in the mountains and seas, and there are mermaids in the East China Sea. The human body and fish tail are transformed into people. They live in the market, and they drip tears into pearls. Their heart can be used as medicine and have the effect of prolonging life."
"Hey, you won't want me to find the mermaid for you, right? This is obviously a legend. Even if the legend is true, it must be very few."
"Since the dynasty era, the legend of the mermaids has almost disappeared. It has been 30,000 years." Si Lin sighed softly, stood up, and took three notes to Lu Sheng, "Look at this."
"The prefect of Shanghai Prefecture recently reported that the East China Sea is not peaceful this year, and there are often big storms that destroy ships and hurt people. According to rumors of sailors in the sea, mermaids appear in the sea.
These three memorials are three memorials from the navy stationed on Yanluo Island. The first one is that there are mermaids in the East China Sea, with fish tails and ferocious faces. The second memorial says that they have captured a mermaid for auspiciousness and will be sent to the capital soon.
But the third part suddenly changed its caliber. The mermaids on the sea were fake, but huge sea beasts in the East China Sea disturbed the passing merchant ships. The mermaids they caught were just a strange fish with a strange appearance. They are now dead and not a mermaid."
"How can the Yanluo Island Navy uploaded the news from Tianting so much? Isn't it a joke?" Lu Sheng asked curiously.
"That's right! So I have sent a secret spy from the Great Inner to investigate, but the result is that all the stones are sank to the sea."
"The emperor means... let me investigate?"
"I had already investigated Duan Fei, but then I thought about it and felt more at ease if you go. The first is to check what happened to the Yanluo Island naval army? Why did it go back on its word? The second is to check the mermaids, but it is true. The third is to check the deep-sea monster, what exactly is it.
If there are really any deep-sea monsters, you should be able to take them away, right?"
The word "cooking" is well used, and the picture of seafood sashimi appears in Lu Sheng's mind.
"Okay, I haven't been to Shanghai Mansion for a long time." Lu Sheng did not repel the task arrangement at all. Moreover, he knew from Bu Feiyan that there might be three reincarnations of the ancient true gods.
The Sea Emperor was an ally of the Emperor of the Underworld forty thousand years ago, and the nineteen states of China were surrounded by the sea again. The sea is likely to become a threat to the human world.
Returning to Chuzhou from Beijing, it happened to be dinner. During the meal, Lu Sheng and Bu Feiyan said they were going to Shanghai Mansion. The little phoenix, who had never seen the sea, had his eyes lit up when he grew up.
On the spot, he was yelling to go there, too, "I don't want to go to school anymore?" Lu Sheng immediately expressed his disagreement.
Lu Sheng was very persuasive, but Xiao Fenghuang was still unwilling to let go. If this time it was just a pure trip, Lu Sheng would agree. But the Emperor of the Underworld had not caused trouble for a year, and Lu Sheng was not at ease. This time, he would never be able to bring this scoop.
In the end, Bu Feiyan's words are very useful. Just one sentence, will his butt hurt? It's a perfect ending.
The next morning, under the swelling eyes of the little phoenix, Lu Sheng and Bu Feiyan walked away on their swords and headed straight to Shanghai to Wuzhou. When they arrived at Shanghai Mansion, Duan Fei was also in Shanghai.
"Duan Fei, the chief town of Xuantian Prefecture in Wuzhou, see Lord Fujun."
"Brother Duan, I'm apart!" Lu Sheng smiled softly, and immediately brought the relationship between the two closer.
Lu Sheng’s three words of life are both emotional and factual. When Lu Sheng was still the chief town of Xuantian Prefecture in Chuzhou, he still had contacts with Duan Fei from time to time. But since Lu Sheng became the king of Xuantian Prefecture and Si Lin ascended the throne, he really began to get along with Duan Fei.
Duan Fei no longer took the initiative to write letters to Lu Sheng, and there was no private communication except for reporting on his work. It was not that Duan Fei was dissatisfied with Lu Sheng's promotion to Xuantian Mansion. It was because he recognized the facts.
Lu Sheng is no longer the Lu brother back then. They no longer have the same companionship as a comrade, nor will they have the same love of life and death. The gap between him and Lu Sheng is getting farther and farther away. When Lu Sheng becomes the prince of the mansion, he can't even see the last trace of Lu Sheng's back.
Since then, there has been only subordinates, no favoritism for brothers or friendship.
This is not snob, but the truth.
Lu Sheng can treat Duan Fei as a friend, but Duan Fei can no longer treat himself as Lu Sheng's friend.
"How are you doing in recent years? How long have you been in the Dao Realm? You didn't tell me about such a big thing?"
"It's been five years. I should be the first group of people to enter the Dao Realm. Can I take the Dao Realm seriously now? What's there to say? In the world, if you are not Dao Realm, I'm embarrassed to report the name."
"You're floating..."
"How dare you? Lord Fujun is here for the mermaid?"
"Not bad, but I don't know what's going on yet, what do you know?"
Soon, there were female guards in Shanghai who gave Lu Sheng, Bu Feiyan and Duan Feishang Tea, and the quality of Shanghai who gave them was even higher than that of Chuzhou who gave them.
"If you want to talk about the legend of the mermaid, we have to mention the bumpy maritime trade in the past year. In the past year, the sea has changed a lot. According to Xuantian Mansion, there have been thirty shipwrecks since the first day of the first lunar month to the present.
Sudden waves surging, or sudden thunderstorms and rainstorms are endless. Most ships that have experienced shipwrecks are poured into the sea, but a few people escaped.
The legend of the mermaids was heard from the mouths of these crew members who fled back. But the so-called seeing is true and hearing is false. The way they described seeing the mermaids in their mouths was of different shapes and had a huge difference in appearance, so it was not enough to win the trust.
But because of the legend of mermaids, the topic of mermaids in Shanghai has been high in the past year. Maybe it was because of this that it was spread to the emperor's ears, right?" Duan Fei was very helpless when he said this.
"What's going on with that deep-sea beast?"
"Deep sea monster? That was also the one from the crew. They said that the sudden waves were because there were giant beasts under the water. But after those safe fleets went back and forth, they said that although the storm and clouds changed suddenly and the waves were often surging, they had never seen any deep sea monsters.
In order to prove this, I sent this fleet to search for it within a year, but I returned in vain every time.”
"The sea is so uneasy this year, but I just went to the port. Why are the giant ships coming and going from the port still so in a row and so prosperous?"
"The profit is amazing." Duan Fei sighed softly.
