Chapter 164: A Legend of Love
The well-fed Emperor Xiaoxiao and Dongfang Jinghe fell on the grass and looked at the stars and moon, and after a period of silence, Dongfang Jinghe began to slowly tell the legend of the silent waterfall.
"Silent Waterfall originally had sound, and at that time it was called Longmen Waterfall. This is not a small stream, but the largest freshwater lake in the entire Fengxu Continent, where the mermaid family has lived for generations.
At that time, there was no dynasty in the Fengxu Continent, and it was jointly managed by the four major families, and at that time, the fish-people and humans lived happily and harmoniously on the Fengxu Continent, and they had always been peaceful.
The beginning of the story is beautiful, but the ending is sad.
A young and handsome boy rescued a red carp that had been washed ashore by the lake and had been stranded for a long time, and gently put it back into the water when it was desperate and confused.
The young and handsome prince is actually the new chief elected by the four major families, and although he is young, his cultivation and wisdom are unmatched.
He was always frivolous when he was young, and he was taken over the position of chief in a moment.
But when he became a chief, there were a lot of things every day, he gradually lost his freedom, and his true friends began to become fewer and fewer, and he began to feel troubled and lonely, and deeply experienced the taste of being cold in high places.
Every time the boy was troubled and lonely, he would come to this lake to talk about his thoughts, and he didn't know that from that day on, the red carp catfish he rescued would wait here for him every time, and then listen to him.
That's right, the red carp catfish rescued by him is the smallest and most naughty little princess of the Fish-Man Clan, she is greedy for fun and loves to cause trouble, and has never concentrated on cultivation, so she has never transformed into a human form.
She was saved by him, and it fell in love with him at first sight, and she began to cultivate hard for him.
When she didn't cultivate into a human form, she hid in the lake every time and eavesdropped on his complaints.
She looked forward to cultivating her human form and meeting him every day, but when she finally cultivated into her human form, he didn't come.
She hadn't seen him for months, and she thought he wouldn't come again.
It's okay, the fishman shouldn't have touched love, but her heart is full of his sad and melancholy figure, she wants to brush off the frowning good-looking brows for him, she wants him to be happy.
Decided to let go and forget about him, but every night, she would sit on the reef and sing, singing about her endless love for him, singing about the good times she had with him in her fantasy, and she was looking forward to his arrival.
Her singing voice is beautiful, with a magic that makes people forget their troubles, and her queen mother said that this song is a symbol of the king of the fish-people, and as long as she forgets the irrelevant human beings, she will pass on the throne of the fish-people to her.
Fate always came unexpectedly, and on the night she took the throne, he came, and he was fascinated by her singing, and by her alluring countenance.
At first sight, they fell in love.
They ran freely among the flowers of the flowery forest, sang moving love songs loudly under the turbulent Longmen Waterfall, and kissed emotionally under this splendid peach blossom forest.
They snuggled together to watch the sun rise and the moon set, the flowers bloom and set, listen to the rapids under the waterfall lapping the shore, and listen to the wind and clouds howling in the forest.
The fishman forgot the precept that the family should never touch the heart-devouring love, and also forgot her responsibility as the new king of the fishman.
And the boy was running away from something, he coveted the beauty of this place, and didn't want to go back to the big family that suffocated and bored him.
They don't think about anything together, they get carried away, they forget their mission, they forget their racial differences, they forget about time, they forget about things together that have nothing to do with the two of them......
It wasn't until the people of the four major families came over, facing the angry flames of the elders of the clan, and facing their stern questioning, that the young man who left the burden of the chief and enjoyed himself alone panicked.
Unexpectedly, he actually put the blame on the fish man, he said that she was bewitching and confused him.
Then the human race came to strangle the fish people, and for a time the fish people suffered, and it was really a river of blood, and the lake water for thousands of miles was dyed bright red.
She forgot the ancestral teaching that has been passed down from generation to generation, that fish-people cannot fall in love with humans, so for this, she has caused their entire fish-man clan to pay a terrible price.
She didn't understand why a man as great as a god in her heart could be so cowardly, and she saw panic and horror in his eyes.
What was he afraid of? What's wrong with the Fish-People? She's a human form made of a fish, but she doesn't think she's any different from him?
Those heart-pounding feelings, those oaths of the three alliances, it turns out that it is really like what the queen mother said, human beings are hypocritical liars.
In the last war, the hypocritical negative man actually led the elders and elites of the four major families to exterminate their Fish-Man Clan.
The fishman was ashamed, and in the face of the young man's sentence 'cutting the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again', her eyes burned red, and the good memories in her memory were burned, and she used all her strength to scream to make the Longmen Waterfall flow backwards into a screen, drowning the human beings in front of her who disgusted her.
That night, the four major families suffered countless casualties, but the fish-man clan also disappeared, and the lake disappeared overnight, leaving only a shallow stream, and Longmen Waterfall has also become this strange silent waterfall .......alas!"
