The mermaid has heard of this animal Zuo Dengfeng before, and has seen it in books, but the legend does not match what is recorded in the books, and the books record that this person has a human body and a fish tail, the upper body is the same as a human, and the lower body is similar to a fish, covered with scales.
But the legend is another matter, Zuo Dengfeng is a fishing village, the old man in the village once told a story, is to say that a fisherman surnamed Zhang in the village once caught a mermaid in the sea during the light years, for the female, the appearance is exactly the same as a human woman, very beautiful, the lower body is merged together, similar to a dolphin, no scales, the complexion is very white.
The fisherman, surnamed Zhang, did not release it or sell it after catching it, but raised it at home.
It is said that the fish people cannot speak, have a gentle temperament, feed on fish, and can also be used as women.
Zuo Dengfeng was young at that time, and he didn't think much about personnel if he didn't understand personnel, and last year Jin Zhen had sent him a lot of Taoist books, and he read the relevant records again in a Taiping Guangji that recorded the Taoist scriptures, verifying that the rumors in his childhood were true, that is to say, the real mermaid has no scales, and the lower body also has female organs.
It's not like a fish, as the public misconceptions.
Records of this species can be traced back to the Flood period, which means that there were already human beings during the Flood period, and no one knows how it came to be, but one thing is certain is that its population has been decreasing, and it is difficult to see it today.
"Thirteen, I'll leave it to you."
Zuo Dengfeng Chong Thirteen said, Thirteen is the best at dealing with pythons and snakes.
Thirteen heard the words and immediately jumped down from the shoulder of the left peak, jumped on the back of the anaconda with a slight cushion on the rock, and then leaned out of the red claws to grab the anaconda, Thirteen's movements were very crisp and very professional, it did not follow the snake scales, but the reverse scales out of the claws, and directly removed several pieces of the snake scales with one claw, and the snake mouth opened wide after the anaconda ate the pain, and quickly spit out the half-swallowed mermaid.
Snakes will be the first to spit out food if they are attacked by external attacks in the process of eating, so as to attack the enemy, but although this anaconda spit out the mermaid, Thirteen did not give it a chance to turn back, and made up another claw in the place where the snake scales were removed before, and directly disemboweled, Thirteen ate too much snakes, and knew very well about the body structure of snakes, and accurately found the heart.
No matter what the animal, the heart pumps blood, and the rate of death from heart damage is second only to that of head injury, and after a short meander, the anaconda goes limp.
Thirteen first went forward and ate a lot of poisonous insects, and he was not hungry at the moment, and after killing the anaconda, he jumped to the rock where Zuo Dengfeng was, and at this time Zuo Dengfeng was looking at the mermaid that was spit out by the anaconda.
There is also a large amount of acid in the digestive tract of the snake, and the tail of this mermaid has been burned by the acid, red and swollen and broken skin, and at this moment it is moving quickly towards the water's edge with both hands on the ground, and at the same time looking nervously at Zuo Dengfeng and Thirteen.
Zuo Dengfeng looked at it with a smile, the organs of its lower body were not fully developed, but there was no doubt that it was male.
"Be careful later."
Zuo Dengfeng opened his mouth, he wanted to determine if this mermaid could speak human language.
After he finished speaking, the mermaid suddenly looked terrified, which showed that it could not understand human speech at all.
Zuo Dengfeng was slightly disappointed when he saw this, and at this time, the mermaid had already climbed to the water's edge and dived in, and Zuo Dengfeng turned around and returned.
There are no large mammals here, not even rabbits, but there are birds here, and Zuo Dengfeng and Thirteen caught a few pheasants in the forest and returned to their footing.
At this time, the iron shoes and the jade whisk had already lit a bonfire and boiled the snow water, and the butcher and cook had always been Zuo Dengfeng, and after the rectification was completed, the whole was cooked.
Then Zuo Dengfeng told the two of them about the scene he saw on the riverside while lighting the fire, and the reason why he told the two of them was not just small talk, but wanted to hear their views on this matter.
Iron Shoes had been practicing penance in Shaolin Temple before he went crazy, and he only started running around after he went crazy, so his knowledge was not extensive.
"I once saw mermaids in an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty on the southwest coast, and their corpses were illuminated by long lanterns, which would consume the oxygen in the tomb after the tomb was closed, so as to achieve the purpose of preserving the corpses.
But those sharks are more like fish than people, and they are very different from the ones you see, maybe in the sea and freshwater areas.
Jade Whisk recalled.
"Amitabha."
When the iron shoes heard this, they immediately sang the Buddha.
Whether it is Buddhism, Taoism or Confucianism, it is strictly forbidden for the yang person to enter the tomb and disturb the yin person.
"No, these mermaids can live in seawater or freshwater, they don't have gills and they breathe with their lungs."
Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and said.
"Do you think this mermaid has something to do with the Pu country we're looking for?"
asked Yu Fu.
"Yes, Chinese characters can be divided into seven fonts, such as Jia, Jin, Seal, Li, Cao, Kai, and Xing, according to the time of their appearance, and the oracle bone inscription and the Jin inscription are inclined to hieroglyphs, and the writing of this Pu character oracle bone inscription and Jin inscription in the Pu country is similar to today's Pu character, and according to the literal decomposition, it can be understood as a person by the water.
So I suspect that this mermaid is a descendant of the Pu people.
Zuo Dengfeng said.
"It's hard to say whether they are descendants of the Pu people, but what is certain is that they have populations."
Jade Whisk said.
Since there is no adult mermaid, it must have parents.
"The river here is very fast, not suitable for them to breed, but the appearance of the juvenile mermaid here indicates that the area of their activity is not far from here, and we will not only look for the abandoned ancient city, but also pay attention to the waters with gentle currents."
Zuo Dengfeng nodded and said.
"Boss, why don't you have an ancient city," Iron Shoes interjected coldly.
Although his question was very problematic, Zuo Dengfeng still understood what he meant, and Iron Shoes wanted to ask why there was no ancient city in the area where Zi Rat was located.
"The boss used to live in the area of the country of Ji, and the area where the country is located has always had human activities, so their ancient city has been covered by the footprints of later generations.
Our current location is surrounded by rivers and cannot be visited by outsiders, so it is possible that the buildings from 3,000 years ago are well preserved.

Zuo Dengfeng patiently explained.
"It's not that I can't come, it's that I don't dare to come."
Iron shoes have a feeling, there are too many reptiles here, and ordinary people really dare not set foot in it.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this, Tie Shoe saw that his opinion was recognized by Zuo Dengfeng, and added firewood with a smile, the aroma of the pot had already come out, and the aroma of stewed pheasants in clear water made Tie Shoe feel hungry, he had a heavy burden and a large amount of food.
"Back then, Jiang Ziya went east, the eight tribes followed, the Jinji Lu country had giants, the Golden Monkey Yong country was good at using poison, the water rat country might have the spell to move mountains and reclaim the sea, did the water pig Pu country have these mermaids" Zuo Dengfeng frowned and shook his head.
After the conversation was interrupted by Iron Shoes, he had to go back and continue.
"What do you want to say," Jade Whisk asked.
In her opinion, Zuo Dengfeng's thinking and Iron Shoes are a bit similar, both are very divergent, the difference is that Zuo Dengfeng's thinking has a main line in series, while Iron Shoes' thinking is scattered like a plate of sand.
"The Shang and Zhou dynasties were a slave society, and every ethnic group had nobles and slaves, and these mermaids would definitely not be the nobles of the Pu Kingdom, but if they were slaves, it didn't seem to be of much use."
Zuo Dengfeng said.
"What you see is just a juvenile mermaid, you haven't seen an adult mermaid, Jiang Ziya's Eastern Expedition can't help but encounter rivers, if you encounter rivers, these mermaids can play a role."
Jade Whisk Analysis.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this, Yufu's analysis has a certain truth, but what the truth is, he still has to find the ancient city located in this area.
After a while, the chicken soup was stewed, Zuo Dengfeng first served the jade whisk, and then gave the whole iron pot to the iron shoes, he was not hungry.
"Hey, what are you doing with a brick on your back" Just as Zuo Dengfeng was pondering, the iron shoe turned out the gray brick he had brought out from the Qingshui Temple from the wooden box.
"I'm out of wine, don't look for it."
Zuo Dengfeng extended his aura and grabbed the brick from the iron shoe hand.
Seeing this, Yufu just wanted to ask a question, and suddenly frowned and looked east, Zuo Dengfeng saw that her expression was different, and he also looked up, he didn't see anything, but he heard a buzzing sound.
The buzzing sound Zuo Dengfeng had heard more than once before, and it was the sound of green worms flapping their wings.
Sure enough, a moment later, a green worm flew from the east, circled around the jade whisk three times, and landed on the right side of her clothes.
"What's the matter, the sect is looking for you," Zuo Dengfeng put the gray bricks back into the wooden box.
"Not this faction."
Jade Whisk picked up the frogworm and looked at it carefully.
"Maoshan sent something wrong," Zuo Dengfeng frowned and asked again.
At this time, there were already telephones and telegrams, but the three of them were in the wilderness, and their communication with the outside world depended on the frogworms of the jade whisk.
"No, this green worm was given to Wang Zhenren of the Quanzhen Sect back then."
Jade Whisk looked solemn.
"Something happened to the Quanzhen faction," Zuo Dengfeng frowned and asked.
"I don't know."
Jade Fu shook her head and said.
"Maybe something happened to the Quanzhen faction, why don't you go out and have a look."
Zuo Dengfeng pondered for a moment and spoke.
Jade Whisk is his most powerful assistant, and his departure will cost him his right hand.
But something must have happened outside the mountain, but unfortunately the frogworms can't speak, and everyone has no way of knowing what happened outside the mountain.
"Wang Zhenren acts calmly, even if the Quanzhen faction is in trouble, he will not ask us for help, because they are the Quanzhen lineage, and the Quanzhen faction also has a large number of subordinate Taoist temples, Bible Mountain is the Quanzhen Ancestral Court, if there is really a difficulty, it is also the Taoist under the Quanzhen to go to the rescue, and it is not our turn to be Zhengyi.
Besides, this frogworm was given to him by the three of us when we were fighting against the Japanese in Nanjing, just to inform each other of the location after discovering the Japanese army, not to ask for help.
Jade Fu shook her head and said.
"Du Qiuting also has a green worm, if there is really anything, Wang Zhenren will also ask Du Qiuting to summon me, and he will not do it himself.
He personally released the green worms, which showed that Du Qiuting did not know about this matter, which means that this matter has nothing to do with Du Qiuting.
Jade Whisk shook her head again.
"Don't dare to rub it off, it's safer for you to go out."
Zuo Dengfeng frowned and spoke.
"I can't go, Master, you can go out and follow the frogworms to the Quanzhen Sect."
Jade Whisk turned her head to look at the Iron Shoes.
"The old man once compared the light body technique with that bull's nose, and he doesn't need to be with this insect to know where the Quanzhen Sect is."

Iron Shoes nodded when he heard this, he hated this place full of reptiles.
"With the green worms, maybe Wang Zhenren is not in the Quanzhen faction."
Yufu said.
"Okay."
Iron Shoes grabbed the pheasant in the pot and put it into his arms, and then picked up the boss.
"Wait a minute, you take these two bamboo tubes, and if you need me to go back, you can release one.
If you're in a hurry, release two, and we'll both be back. ” Hearing this, the iron shoes took the bamboo tube and put it close to him, and went east with the boss and the green worm
