Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1295 Dark Shadow

Tianming and Shaoyu's words aroused dissatisfaction from the onlookers.

"What nonsense are you two kids talking about!" An uncle glared at the two of them and yelled, "If you describe the fairy mountain as a monster, aren't you afraid of offending the immortal and being punished by the immortal!?"

Looking at his excited look, some people who didn't know it thought it was his biological father who was slandered by Tian Ming.

However, we have to understand the ignorance of the people in this era, especially when they really saw the 'miracle' and the 'fairy mountain', they were not immune even at dawn. When someone said it, they immediately covered their mouths and shook their heads. Indicates a momentary lapse of speech.

On the contrary, Shao Yu didn't care much and looked disapproving.

The theory of ghosts and gods is prevalent in the Chu land, but Shao Yu doesn't believe it very much. He barely maintains a certain respect for the gods who accept serious sacrifices, but he doesn't look down on the messy wild gods Mao Shen.

At this time, someone else interrupted and followed Shao Yu’s suggestion about sea monsters:
  "Speaking of which, there might be monsters in this sea."

"Do you still remember Lao Li? When he was shipwrecked and the entire fleet was completely destroyed, he was lucky enough to be picked up by a passerby and rescued. However, he also ended up crazy. He told everyone he met that he had encountered When it comes to the monster, its mouth is bigger than a ship!"

This survivor was obviously well-known in Songhai. As soon as he was mentioned, everyone was talking about it. Many people believed in the monster theory, with obvious fear on their faces.

Living in Songhai, there are too many people who are close to the sea. If there are monsters in the sea, the safety of these people will not be guaranteed at all.

But... so what?
  It is said that official words have two mouths and cannot be reasoned with by the government. This monster is no more unreasonable than the government!

At this time, someone added more jealously, "Don't talk about the sea, the sky is not peaceful either!"

"Have you ever felt that there are always strange things flying in the sky at night?"

As soon as these words came out, many people immediately echoed.

"Yes, yes! I noticed it too."

"Some people say that those in the sky are evil spirits, they are..."

Before this man finished speaking, he was interrupted by someone, the same person who had just taught Tianming Shaoyu a lesson.

"Stop talking! How can some of these crazy words be believable!"

While he yelled at others, he also winked at the misty fairy mountains in the sky in the distance. The onlookers immediately understood what he meant and shut up.

Regardless of whether there are monsters or goblins, they can't afford to offend them anyway, so it's better to talk less.

At this time, Shao Yu unexpectedly saw a somewhat familiar figure through the gap between the crowd. He glanced at it in a flash.

He quickly followed his eyes and chased away the crowd, looking around but found nothing.

Tianming saw his friend running away and followed him. He looked at Shaoyu who was looking around in confusion and asked, "What are you doing? Looking for someone?"

"I just saw an acquaintance." Shao Yu nodded.

"Who is it?" Tianming asked casually, "A classmate from the academy?"

"No, it's Shi Lan, the guy from the inn."

"Shi Lan?" Tianming was stunned and looked at Shao Yu blankly.

Of course he was familiar with Shi Lan, she often helped him clean up his messes, and not long ago they shared the sorrows together.

But the problem is that Shao Yu has no mess and needs Shi Lan's help. The two of them have always been incompatible with each other, so why are they suddenly paying so much attention to Shi Lan?
  "Seeing him...what happened? Why are you paying so much attention to him?"

Songhai City is so big, and there is so much excitement and gatherings of people on the beach now. Isn't it normal for Shi Lan to happen to be nearby and come to join in the fun?

"Uh... you don't know, let me tell you..." Seeing this, Shao Yu told Tianming his previous findings and the information he got from Fan Zeng.

Ever since he learned that Shi Lan might be unusual, he would keep an eye on the other person whenever he had nothing to do, but he rarely gained anything - he could never keep up and would be dumped casually.

Tianming felt dizzy after hearing this, and nodded in confusion, "Oh... you mean Shi Lan's identity is not simple?"

"Uh... Speaking of which, Fatty Ding said that his martial arts is very good."

"That's right!" Shao Yu swung his hand and said firmly, "Let's just say he is definitely extraordinary."

"Then... have you met anyone?" Although Tianming still didn't quite understand why Shao Yu was so active in exploring Shi Lan's secrets, he couldn't stop him for the sake of his friend.

"...Isn't it obvious at a glance?" Shao Yu rolled his eyes and asked.

People around were crowded beside the port to watch the excitement. Several streets were almost empty. Except for the garbage blown by the wind, there was nothing moving.

Where is the shadow of Shi Lan!

"Then...should we chase?"

"Where should we go after him?" Shao Yu shook his head, a little disappointed, "Forget it, just remember that he has come to see this fairy mountain in the sky. Let's wait for other opportunities."

"Oh..." Tian Ming feels that Shao Yu is just worrying. If there is any problem with Shi Lan, Cook Ding and the others will definitely check it out. How can you torment him and Tao Zhi!

But he just curled his lips and said nothing.

At this time, bursts of exclamations came from behind the two of them.

"Wow!"

"Quick, quick... quick... look at the sea, what is that!?"

"Isn't a sea monster really showing up?"

The panicked noise immediately drew Shao Yu Tianming's attention away. The two of them turned their heads and glanced over the panicked onlookers. Looking far away on the sea, they saw a huge dark shadow facing the westward. Orange-red sunlight appears on the sea.

Because the distance is too far, although it is said to be huge, it actually looks okay. But no one is stupid. It doesn't look big from a distance, and it doesn't take up the entire sea surface. But what if it gets closer?

Just a casual estimate, it might be possible to cover half of Songhai City!

And now we can neither see what it is nor whether it is approaching the shore.

This kind of fear originating from the unknown makes the people who eat melons tremble from the bottom of their hearts - it would be fine if Shao Yu didn't tell the legend about sea monsters eating people, but with the association target, no one can bear it. Stop thinking nonsense and scare yourself.

Shao Yu and Tian Ming were also shocked.

"This... this... this... what is this!? Why is it so big!?" Tian Ming stretched out his hand and asked stumblingly.

Shao Yu raised an eyebrow with a surprised look on his face and replied stupidly, "How do I know..."

While he was talking, he didn't forget to take a photo of Tianming's hand - he didn't know what the hell it was, so it was best not to point at it.

At this time, someone from the onlookers in front spoke again:
  "Hey! Do you think this scene... looks a bit familiar? Did it happen once?"

"Ok?"
