Chapter 192: Shark Man

"It's not mermaids, that's the name of gringos, in ancient China, we called them mermaids." Ji Ziyang said.

"So the merman really exists?" I was surprised to ask, I have been very fond of listening to mermaid stories since I was a child, fantasizing about the mermaid's story, which can become a little better, and hoping that the mermaid will not turn into a bubble but live happily with the prince. There are ghosts in the world, I know, but I really don't know if there are really mermaids in the world. But now that Ji Ziyang says this, then it can be affirmed that there are really sharks in this world.

"I have been looking for them for many years, but I didn't expect that the last one would be buried under this grave on the outskirts of Beijing." Ji Ziyang said.

"What are you looking for them? Do you know this merman? "I looked at the frozen corpse of the merman in front of me, and I just felt that this was the most beautiful work of art in the world, and her face was gentle, gentle, and lifelike.

"Her name is Xuan, she is the last survivor of the merman clan, the life span of the merman clan, some people say that it is seventy years old, but I don't think that's the case, no one knows how long the mermaids can live, they are the descendants of the sea emperor, and we can be regarded as the descendants of the gods like our yin and yang family, so their age will never be seventy years old." Ji Ziyang said, I listened carefully, everyone was already busy trying to figure out how to protect this big guy, Yuan Ru was already contacting the refrigeration truck to find a way to carry it, before that, I could only use refrigeration equipment to find a way to maintain the outer layer of ice, and the body had been frozen for so long. It's hard to say if the ice outside will affect the corpses once all the ice melts away.

"There are very few records of shark people in ancient China, so I haven't heard much about it, I just thought it was a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true." I say.

"Of course it's true, although there aren't many, and a lot of records about the mermaids are scattered in some folk weird tales, but the weird tales are not groundless, and many of those barnyard official histories often have the same reference value, not to mention that I know the things of this race completely." Ji Ziyang said.

"Then you can talk to me about it." I said as I stepped aside and sat down, hearing me start talking to myself again. Everyone knew it. He didn't follow, only Aro followed behind.

"Actually, I've heard a little about the merman clan." Ah Luo said, this is beyond my expectations, I didn't expect Ah Luo to know about the merman clan.

"Flower demon, you say it first." Ziyang said.

"I knew that the mermaids were also when I was a flower. At that time, I had just cultivated my spirit. That is, the soul has just been able to get out of the body. I often go to the netherworld to hang around, but I have met a few souls with such bodies and mermaids rushing to reincarnate, out of curiosity. Later, I often searched for information related to their family, but there was no progress, and for a long time, I thought that the mermaids were freaks among the human race. Arrow said.

"Sharks are also reincarnated when they die? Is there still a merman? I asked.

"I don't know, but it's probably not possible." Ji Ziyang said.

"Why?" I'm a little confused.

"Because there is no merman who does not regret it, regretting that he devoted himself to becoming a merman." Ji Ziyang said.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

Jin Ganbao described the merman in the twelfth volume of "Sou Shen Ji": Beyond the South China Sea, there are mermaids, who live in water like fish, do not waste weaving achievements, and their eyes cry, they can produce pearls. It is said that the mermaids live in the South China Sea, live in the water like fish, like to make their own weaving, and tears can turn into pearls when they cry. It is also written in the volume of "Shu Wei Ji": Jiaoren is Quan Xianye, also known as Quanke. The South China Sea out of Jiao silk yarn, the spring first dive weaving, a dragon yarn, its price of more than 100 gold. I thought it was not wet when I entered the water. There is a dragon silk palace in the South China Sea, where the spring weaves silk first, and there is a white one like frost. In the "Taiping Yulan" volume 8 "Naturalist Records", it is described as follows: The mermaid comes out of the water, lives in other people's houses, and sells silk every day. Will go, ask for a vessel from the master, weep into a full plate of beads, to be with the master. This shows that the shark race not only really existed, but also had trade with humans near the coast, selling a kind of shark silk they spun to humans in exchange for daily use, and when they left, they cried out a plate of pearl tears and sent a benefactor. It shows that the merman is ingenious and knows how to repay the gratitude. Ji Ziyang said.

"But now there is almost no official history of the merman." I say.

"Yes, existence and non-existence, but it is a matter of the stroke of the pen of the human historian, so a race has been erased from history, I have been in contact with the merman, there is no more simple and kind race than them, and it is precisely because of this that I got into trouble. Shortly after I became like this, I met a few mermen in the South China Sea, who were a remnant of the Yingzheng hunt and killing, and they were terrified when they saw it. Ziyang said.

"They can also do yin-yang arts, can they see you?" I asked.

"They don't have yin and yang, they are the purest creatures in the world, their hearts are dustless, so they can see extraordinary things, like me. They were in a bad situation at the time, and I can probably know what happened through their descriptions. Ying Zheng has long known about the existence of the merman, long before your Xi clan and our Yin and Yang family were wiped out, the merman clan had already been hunted down and killed. Tears can become beads, good at weaving silk, these two points alone are enough to make Yingzheng crazy. Ying Zheng has spent his life studying the art of immortality, which requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and the mermaid clan is the best machine for making gold and silver treasures. At first, Ying Zheng just imprisoned these mermaids and produced pearls and shark silk for them, but after a long time, some other things made Ying Zheng have murderous intentions towards them. ”

"What's the matter?" Arrow and I asked in unison.

"The merman's whole body is a treasure, in addition to tears and hand-woven shark silk, the merman's skin and ointment can be burned for ten thousand years, Yingzheng has already made complete preparations, build a dungeon for himself, if he can live forever in the dungeon, if not, the dungeon is his most glorious mausoleum. Until now, no one has found Yingzheng's real mausoleum, he has worked hard to build so many fake mausoleums, each of which is magnificent, you can imagine what scale his real mausoleum will be, the lighting in the mausoleum is all used in the ointment refined from the merman's body, you can imagine how large-scale killing is after this ever-bright lamp. Ji Ziyang said.

"It's really terrible, he actually used the merman to refine the ointment, just for a lamp?!" I said angrily.

"Not only that, the gender of the merman is also divided into men and women, the scales of the male merman will become hard armor when encountering foreign enemies, and they are invulnerable, and the scales of the female merman are colorful, and they can be taken down and ground into powder, which can play a role in prolonging life. The hair can also be woven like silk into a gorgeous satin, which seems to have a ripple around the body when worn, which is beautiful. So a killing began in an orderly manner, and those mermen who could no longer cry tears were sent to weave silk, and those who could no longer weave silk with their fingers worn out would be shaved off their hair, then plucked out of their scales, and finally slaughtered to refine oil. Ji Ziyang said that the bloody image had appeared in my mind, and all that echoed in my ears was screams.

"There is no salvation, there is no salvation, every race is eating this kind and simple people. However, the mermaids are not spineless, and although they are outnumbered and powerless to resist, they all guard an even more magical secret of their race. Ji Ziyang continued.

"Secret?!" I asked.

"That's right, a secret, a secret about the rise and fall of this race. The merman also has a royal family, and their royal family has a different physique from ordinary merman, and their hearts are the best carriers in the world to keep secrets. ”

"Secret carrier, why does this sentence sound so awkward?" Arrow said.

"Ever heard the story of the king having a donkey's ear? In the story, the barber couldn't hold on, dug a hole in the ground, and shouted out the secret he knew inside, and the whole country knew about the fact that the king had a pair of donkey ears. In it, the pit in the ground, is the so-called secret carrier. Sometimes people can't keep their secrets, and they want to tell them to others, but no matter who they say to them, whether they are living or dead, they can't guarantee absolute confidentiality. But the royal family of the merman, if you tell them your secret, there will never be a third person in this world who knows this secret. For example, if you know the location of the treasure, if you know anything earth-shattering, just say it to one of the merman royals, and it will seal the whole secret in its heart, and it will not open its mouth to anyone except you. Ji Ziyang said.

"But what's the use of that? It doesn't make any sense at all. I said.

"You feel like there's no secret, and that's because you know a secret can't be called a secret. Ying Zheng, the first emperor who has never been seen before or since, no one knows how many secrets he has in his heart. Who was the person he loved most in his life, what methods did he try to try the elixir, how many hidden races he had destroyed, and where was his real tomb? People sometimes tell their secrets in their sleep, and Yingzheng may be the most sleepy monarch in the world, because there are so many things in his heart. Ying Zheng didn't know how many attendants and palace maids around him had killed for this, until he discovered this excellent way to bury his secrets. Ji Ziyang said.

"How do you know so clearly? How do you know that the merman in this is Xuan? I asked.

"It was all those sharks who told me that they were the royal family of the sharks, and they told me that they didn't want the secrets of their race to disappear from the world, but I was also a ghost, so what was the use of telling me. As for Xuan, because she was among those mermaids at that time, but she was still a baby at the time, and I will never mistake the headdress on her head, which is a headdress that can only be inherited by every patriarch of the merman.
