Chapter 43: Don't make noise, be careful to scare it
Shang Junzhu did not turn off the Xueba mode, but continued: "It is precisely because of this legend that the original emperor will bring Suihou Zhu and mermaid candles into the mausoleum. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The role of the mermaid candle is not lighting at all, what a waste! ”
So amazing? Meng Shichen scooped out the last drop of candle oil in the iron pot, and as soon as the spoon touched it, it "crawled" into the spoon by itself as if it had a sense.
After pouring the last bit of candle oil, Shang Junzhu said again: "Now you take out Suihou Zhu and wipe it dry and hide it, and put the bamboo tube into the water." She did as she was told, and for a moment, Meng Shichen seemed to see a small white figure swaying in the water.
When I blinked and looked again, it was gone again. I guess I didn't sleep too late, hallucinations from eye strain, she thought.
Although her eyes were tired, she was in good spirits. After carefully cleaning up the kitchen, Meng Shichen returned to the courtyard lightly with the formed mermaid candle and the extremely ordinary-looking Sui Hou Zhu.
Fortunately, there was an empty room between her room and Senior Sister Qu's room, and Senior Sister Qu's injuries had not yet healed, so she shouldn't notice the slightest sound.
"Now you put Sui Hou Zhu on the quilt and turn the other side of the quilt over and cover it." Shang Junzhu explained so, she immediately did it, is Sui Hou Zhu really going to shine? I hope you don't disappoint after a while!
After Meng Shichen covered the quilt, Shang Junzhu was gone. She was nervously holding the mermaid candle and staring at the quilt without blinking, and after a while, a faint blue light slipped out of the overlapping gap of the quilt.
And, more and more! Even the thick quilt revealed a large area of ice blue, as if a piece of ocean was projected onto the quilt, which was beautiful.
"It's time to uncover." The blue light suddenly contracted, and Shang Junzhu's voice also came. She snapped back to her senses, closed her mouth, which had turned into an "O", and ran forward to open the quilt.
Oh, my God! It can be so beautiful!
The Suihou Zhu that was placed on the quilt before has turned into a whole body of dark blue, as if there is a sea locked inside, and its light converges very well, even if the body is crystal beautiful, there will be no light in the hand! "This is the real Suihou Zhu?!"
She looked up in shock to find Shang Junzhu's figure, but found nowhere to be found. "Don't look for it, I'm in Suihou Zhu." The beads she held in her hand suddenly rang out of his voice.
Meng Shichen was speechless: "Then can I also go in and have a look?" She remembered that there were many legends that there was a treasure that people could swoop into, and then there was a vast world inside, and it was another spectacle. Will it be the same with Hou Zhu?
"No, unless you're dead." Shang Junzhu unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water over him.
Does he mean that only the undead are allowed to enter? And the undead are yin, so it will trigger the yin aura in the Sui Hou beads, so that the beads are blue?
"That being the case, then those people you said who have yang attributes and practice partial yang martial arts and spirit removal techniques can't enter, so how can they use Suihou Zhu to help cultivate?" She couldn't help but ask.
Shang Junzhu's answer was more powerful: "Just use martial arts or spiritual magic to drive." ”
Well, well, she got the horns herself. "Then how do you use this mermaid candle?" Compared with Sui Hou Zhu, who she can't use for the time being, she cares more about this mermaid candle that can make her reborn.
The re-poured candle of the Candle Oil Ball is as thick as a hand, and about the width of the palm of the hand. She was worried that it would not burn enough, but Shang Junzhu said that the legend that the mermaid candle could burn for tens of millions of years was true. It's just a small section, and it's more than enough.
"Light the mermaid candle, sit cross-legged on the floor, and place the candle in front of you." Shang Junzhu had already appeared in the center of the room as he spoke, and the Sui Hou Zhu on the quilt was still as blue as the sea and as pure as the sky.
Meng Shichen lit the candle according to his instructions, and when the candlelight flickered, the rising wisps of white smoke did not disperse, but merged into a jade-like fish in the candlelight!
"This! This is what the mermaid candle looks like after it burns?! She couldn't help but let out a shocked voice, and her voice was raised several degrees unconsciously. If you really live for a long time, it turns out that a fish will appear after the mermaid candle burns!
Shang Junzhu floated to the opposite side of her: "Don't make noise, be careful to scare it." ”
"It's ...... Alive?! Meng Shichen almost didn't suppress the urge to jump up from the ground and asked in a low voice, this thing has been made into a candle, hey! Just now, she put it in an iron pot to melt and reshape, which is also too rebellious!
"Of course not." Shang Junzhu immediately dispelled her wild speculation, he slowly stretched out his hand towards the small fish, and the fish actually circled around his palm a few times, "What kind of thinking are you?" This fish is the same as me, but it's different. ”
Same but different? "What do you mean?" She looked at Shang Junzhu in confusion, sorry, her scumbag brain couldn't figure out the advanced vocabulary of the scholar for the time being.
This time, Shang Junzhu didn't hit her again, but explained carefully: "This little guy is the same as me, he is an undead. It was sealed in a candle, and the day it burned out was the day it died. ”
Meng Shichen looked at him and the mermaid undead who seemed to be swimming happily in his palms in a daze, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"However, the lifespan of a mermaid is only two or three hundred years, and the mermaid candle made is required to burn tens of millions. Therefore, a mermaid candle is melted into the undead of many mermaids. Eventually, little ones will be born, who are young and have been around for a long time. ”
She opened her lips slightly in disbelief, so, this is the origin of the mermaid candle that was written into the legend? I'm afraid that the word cruel can be used to describe it, and these two words can't bear the load-bearing meaning in it, Meng Shichen's mood gradually changed, and the small fish in the candlelight gradually became clear from a vague fish shape.
The fish's tail is smart, the body is agile, and the fish's head changes the most, gradually forming a cute face like glutinous rice dumplings. The delicate eyebrows are short and thick, as if the Danqing holy hand accidentally dripped off, with a fat face, white skin like jade, and a little vermilion lip flap, there is a kind of rare beauty of this thing only because of the sky.
Silver hair about the length of an index finger is just waist-length, and the ears are undoubtedly fins like two small fans. There are also fins as thin as cicada wings floating on the slender arms, and the body below the neck also shows fine scales, which are smart and cute like elves.
Well, visually, it should be a mushroom. Meng Shichen thought about it, and the little mermaid that had been fully formed suddenly "swam" towards her and circled around her affectionately.
It seems that it was her three heads that set in motion.
She simply frolicked with the little mermaid, and in a trance she heard Shang Junzhu whisper: "The mermaid candle was originally reborn through a bloody process, so it can help cultivators reshape their muscles and bones, sort out their meridians, and replace their physique to achieve the best state." ”
