Chapter 40: The Pearl Has Tears
When they had finished their last bite, the voice of the servant sounded, and the voices of the people of the mermaid country were so good, like a soft song coming from a distance, it began to be faint and small, but it was extremely ironing in the ears. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Her Majesty invites guests to the top floor to enjoy the view."
With that, the queen's head shook slightly, and then she got up slightly. Chu Xiqing and the three of them could only get up and follow, the stairs leading to the top floor were wider, the walls on both sides of the road were painted with murals, and the lights were almost impossible in the high-rise building, all relying on the guide in front of them to cling to a lamp with a faint fire to illuminate, Chu Xiqing was curious about how the fire was lit in the water, and what made Chu Xiqing curious was that they couldn't swim casually under the water, and they could only walk around like on land, as if it was because of the bubble that enveloped them outside, and the bubble would change shape as they walked, And it will not cause cracks when it is squeezed by the wall, so it looks very safe. The queen swam at the end of the three of them, supported by two maidservants, and the gentle tails of the mermaids swayed in the water, like a dream, but also like nothingness.
Chu Xiqing, the reminder of the merman at the edge of the waterhole, has not forgotten, she vigilantly observed whether the high-rise building had any mechanism at this time, until she reached the top of the high-rise building, she kept nervous, the top was a circular platform, the roof was repaired, and there were many sculptures of the mermaid on the roof, all of them leaned over and looked down, their expressions were confused and flat, looking at the people on the platform in the shadow of the faint firelight, which made people extremely uncomfortable. The queen swam to the side of the platform, stretched out her hand, and immediately someone came up and lit the lights around the platform, still those lights that would not be extinguished in the water, and everyone looked at the queen in silence, waiting for her to show something, but she was just silent, and all the mermaids were silent.
The three people who were at a loss, and the silent merman, formed a strange circle, surrounding the platform, and finally Chu Xiqing couldn't help but break the silence and said, "Looking down from here, it's so beautiful." ”
Because the light under the water is very dim, you can only see sporadic lights and some underwater plants that glow from the high-rise buildings, and there is a trace of tranquility. The queen slowly looked at Chu Xiqing, her eyes were empty as if she had always given people a feeling, and then Chu Xiqing heard a bell, and a musician walked in and said to the queen, "The band is ready." ”
The queen clapped her hands, and the group walked out of the corridor, and began to perform the repertoire, Chu Xiqing saw a huge harp, which was golden all over, and a beautiful mermaid was playing up and down. This spectacular scene made Chu Xiqing forget to pay attention to the others, until the merman's soft singing voice reached his ears. Their singing is about a sweet love, and the sweet voice is easy to intoxicate and forget the original purpose.
In a trance, Chu Xiqing saw the golden harp flickering blood, she was a little surprised, and woke up from the singing to find that only the three of them were left on the entire high platform.
"Oops, it's gone."
Qingmei's low cry made Chu Xiqing confused, Hua Ting sat on the ground and closed his eyes tightly and did not react at all, Chu Xiqing pushed him with his hand but couldn't wake up at all.
"It's useless, just now Hua Ting's predecessor wanted to disrupt the illusion, and the merman queen locked his divine sense, we were trapped here and couldn't get out." Clear eyebrows and heart in a hurry.
Chu Xiqing found that Hua Ting couldn't wake up, and he and Qingmei were still completely unable to invoke spells, and they also sat down decadently.
The firelight around the platform was still flickering, and Chu Xiqing vaguely saw the murals in the corridor shining with blood-red color, she couldn't hold back her curiosity anymore, so she removed a lamp from the platform and took a look. There were simple blood-red lines on the mural, and because he couldn't leave the platform, Chu Xiqing could only see the last few pieces. Those lines are concise and to the point, and it seems that it takes some imagination, and Chu Xiqing finally figured out after looking at it for a long time, in the painting, a mermaid wearing a crown brings people to the platform, then a huge golden harp, followed by a pearl and several people. The last picture Chu Xiqing didn't understand, and to her surprise, the person who was left on the platform on the mural was a normal person, and there was no fish tail, and he came from land. That is to say, there have been guests who have been tricked into coming here and locked up for no reason, what does that pearl mean?
Tell Qingmei, who is still studying how to recover his mana, to listen to his discovery, but Qingmei looks depressed, "Anyway, the Peach Blossom Club will not hurt people's lives, and it is a big deal to lose this opportunity." ”
"It's too negative." Chu Xiqing's thoughts are completely different from Qingmei's. After all, it is not yet a time when there is no hope at all, at least first understand the purpose of the mermaid queen to lock them up.
The harp, which had not yet been clearly observed, was almost up to the roof, and now it was quiet, and the silent harp did not seem to be as striking as before, like an old ornament. Chu Xiqing is not like a merman who can swim up, so he can only observe from the bottom first, Qingmei saw her approaching the harp, and he was very worried and followed, "Don't act rashly." ”
Chu Xiqing didn't move the piano when he heard this, but lowered his body to look slowly, there was a string of unknown words engraved on the piano body, which was very elegant and smart, and Chu Xiqing called his eyebrows to recognize it.
"It's an old language, I'll have to think about it." Qingmei sat by the piano and began to slowly recall the meaning of the words.
After a long time, Qingmei wrote down the words that could be seen on the body of the piano: "The pearl has tears, and those who recite it silently cry." ”
"What's this? There is no beginning and no tail. Chu Xiqing really couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence engraved on the qin, she had to go to a higher place to see the remaining words on the qin.
"It's too dangerous," Ching Mei stopped her, "We don't know what happens if we touch this harp." ”
Chu Xiqing looked around, and then said proudly, "Then don't touch the qin, I'll climb from the wall to the roof, and then look down from the roof." ”
After saying that, Chu Xiqing began to climb to the roof, and those weird decorations became relied on at this time, so that Chu Xiqing successfully climbed to the side of the golden giant qin, she looked at it for a long time before she could see the words clearly, and then jumped down and wrote it down to Qingmei.
"Sin has its own guilt, and the debtor pays. I'm afraid of the depth... "Qingmei didn't continue to read" is finished, and there is a paragraph that we can't see. ”
Sin has its own guilt, and the debtor returns, such a profound meaning, what is the meaning of God? The two looked at each other messily in the wind.
"Do you remember that the ancient books said that it was because of the greed of human beings to capture the mermaids that the mermaids were wiped out." Chu Xi affectionately pointed to the outside of the tall building.
"You're saying we're the debtors?" Qingmei pondered for a while, "No matter, now climb up to the piano to see the meaning of the words in the middle." ”
