Chapter 162: A Narrow Road Encounter
"Why?" Jiang Qiong couldn't help but wonder, wouldn't pulling out these scales hurt people to death?
"Because, there is only one sweetheart in the merman's life, and he will only fade his scales once, that is, when the mind and body are delivered to the other party. In other words, when a person of my tribe marries someone he loves, he will lose his scales for the only time in his life. Because the shark will be very weak, the merman can only trust each other, and that is also a test for the beloved. After they got married, they couldn't go out or see anyone for a full month. In the pool, they would collect each other's scales that slowly and automatically faded away. However, after a month, they will be able to grow new scales, and after those few days of weakness, they will be able to complete the most sacred rites and become adult mermen, and become the most perfect mermen. β
Jiuhong said, her eyes showed yearning, she didn't know if her intended person would dislike her faded scales, or whether she would dislike her bare fishtail after shedding her scales.
The most delicate fishtail of the merman can be called the second face of the merman.
A well-maintained fishtail will experience the only time in its life that it will be so ugly that it cannot be seen by people on that night. Therefore, the merman can only exchange his heart, just once, and it is also a real life and death entrustment, and a ritual of extreme beauty and death. After that month, either they will transform into the most beautiful adult mermaids and spend their lives together in the sea. Or die in the most romantic and debilitating night.
Therefore, the merman has a long life, but he can only love one person.
"That'...... That ......" Jiang Qiong was speechless, so why did Brother Zimo suddenly pull out his own fish scales? He still didn't understand, and it wasn't until later that Jiang Qiong understood.
Because he later learned that the merman king had never shown his tail all his life.
Because the fishtail is the most vulnerable part of the merman's body, and the merman king is the patron saint of the entire merman clan, he is destined to never be able to show his vulnerable side. But when the merman king finds his beloved, when they get married, the merman king will experience the only time in his life that the scales are peeled, and the only moment when he can see the merman king's fishtail. But there is only one person who can see the fishtail of the merman king, and that is the merman queen.
And at the time of the Supreme Wedding, almost everyone saw the fishtail of the merman king...... Gorgeous, slender, noble, proud.
Representing the power of the extreme sky and the ultimate fragility of the shark king, all of them were vividly displayed in front of everyone. And after that failure, the merman prince Mo plucked his own scales in a place where his beloved could not see...... The blood is dripping, but the pain of the fish's tail is far less, and the pain of losing the love in my heart.
"Jiang Qiong, you see, the shark king's unwanted fish scales are also so beautiful. I'm going to get a scale armor for Jiubai, I don't know if he will like it. β
Jiuhong doesn't know what Jiubai thinks in her heart, she wants Jiubai to have fish scales too, even if it's just scale armor, but this is the tail scale of the merman king, will Jiubai like it.
"Definitely, such a beautiful scale armor, anyone will like it, let's fight it, what if it's not enough?" Jiang Qiongxin was very meticulous, he felt that such a beautiful scale armor must be complete, and later learned that this thing was called obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Okay." Jiuhong happily agreed, and then the two of them began to collect Zimo's scales, then took them to the river to rinse them and start splicing.
When Xiao Hei found Jiang Qiong, he was next to Jiuhongtou, squatting on the ground and counting the scales that were about to be complete, but there was still a little vacancy in the middle, and there was one less scale.
Xiao Hei looked at the two people who had forgotten themselves, and they were almost close together, and he suddenly felt very unhappy and unhappy.
"Ah, there are one thousand and ninety-eight pieces, Jiuhong, do you still have them there?" Jiang Qiong counted very well, he asked Jiuhong to fight, count it himself, and finally the splicing was complete, there were one thousand and ninety-eight, and there was one less!
"No, one thousand and ninety-nine, what is the number?" Jiuhong always felt that this number was very strange, the scales of the merman king represented a certain meaning, and she didn't quite understand why the merman king's scales would be one thousand and ninety-nine.
"Huh? So what to do? Jiang Qiong looked at the fish armor that was about to be perfected, and the entire small river was brightened, surrounded by a slight bloody mist, swirling around this scale that was about to be completed, which was even more touching and beautiful.
"Is this bad?" Xiao Hei felt out a scale that he had just accidentally stepped on and almost fell to his death on the stairs, raised his eyebrows to see the two of them turn their heads, and hooked his lips and smiled.
Jiang Qiong was shocked.
The scales were finally put together, flawless, but the fluctuations caused were a little scary, and there were fish coming in the river, gathering in the water that was a little closer to the scales, and it looked dense and seeping.
As the scales are intact, there is more and more mist in the air. So much so that slowly, they all seemed to be sitting in a place shrouded in a layer of mist, bizarre, mysterious and dreamy.
"This armor is made, it must be the most beautiful armor." Jiang Qiong stroked the nail piece, some jade-like touch, but it was slightly moist in the hand, and it felt cold with water vapor, which made people's hearts brighten.
"Hmm." Xiao Hei didn't care too much, he just felt that Zimo must be very painful, but he couldn't go to him, because Zimo had pulled out so many tail scales, and those legs must not be able to look.
So he can't look for it, and no one else can look for it, and Zimo won't want to see anyone, not only because the fragility of the injury won't be known to others, but also because Zimo definitely doesn't want people to see his ugliest side.
Xiao Hei understands him, but some people don't.
ββββ
Drunk Jiang Yuze...... It's really hard to get around.
Zimo is going crazy! He pushed this man who was dead and still smelled of alcohol, not only disgusted by being touched so closely, but also because he was about to be crushed to death.
Jiang Yuze was pushed, he was unconscious but a little sober, but he smelled a heavy smell of blood.
He frowned and touched himself with his hand.
Well, it doesn't hurt, it's not him.
"You're perverted! Jiang Yuze, hurry up for me, or I'll kill you. Zimo felt that the worst thing in his life was tonight.
He shouldn't have kindly looked at Jiang Yuze, who was drunk and fell into the water, although it was because he was about to drown in the water, but if he was allowed to do it again......
He will drown him with his own hands!
Jiang Yuze, who was messing around, sniffled again, the smell of blood was still so heavy, he held up one arm, and the softness under his body wanted to leave him.
Jiang Yuze, who was still in a daze, suddenly felt aggrieved, why didn't he even want him? Is he so annoying? He hugged the person under him again, domineeringly occupying the person in his arms. Although the smell of blood is really too strong, he doesn't like it very much, but he doesn't really care about it after a long time on the battlefield.
"Jiang Yuze !!" Zimo's weak roar, the sound shook the birds in the forest, but it couldn't wake up the dead man on his body.
Zimo desperately stretched out his only hand that could still move, stretched out his hand to convene a piece of clear water, resigned himself to his fate, closed his eyes, and let the water fall down.
With a bang, Jiang Yuze felt that he was splashed with cold water, and his wine strength finally faded a little, and then when he looked down, he faced a beautiful head...... The black hair on his head was as soft as seaweed, and a pair of extremely beautiful phoenix eyes were staring at him hatefully.
"Hmm...... Zimo? Jiang Yuze looked at half of the salary, and finally recognized the owner who was burning with anger. Because of such a beautiful pair of single phoenix eyes, and there are not too many women's enchantment, there is only one person - Zimo.
"If you don't want to die, please let me go, I thank you family!" Zimo was pressed and ran out of strength, coupled with the excessive blood loss on his legs, the brightest Big Dipper over the East China Sea was about to appear in front of him.
"Hmm...... Good. Jiang Yuze agreed, and was about to get up, Zimo breathed a sigh of relief, but the man suddenly stopped moving, was confused for a moment, thought about it seriously, and said to him: "But I don't have a whole family, my mother was gone when I was three years old, my imperial grandfather was gone when I was eighteen years old, my sister launched a coup d'Γ©tat and wanted my life, two days ago my father was also fighting for my throne, and he scolded me for ......"
Zimo listened to his slightly aggrieved tone, his head was big, and he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and said viciously: "What do you care about me?" Your father should scold you a few more words to make you sober up. β
"Oh." The word was elongated, and the end note was a little helpless. Jiang Yuze was even more sad, let him sober up? Oh, no!
Then he fell asleep again as a sign of his determination.
"Ahh I was wrong, wake up, wake up! Zimo felt that the big head sank, and it was buried in his neck socket again, and the warm breath sprayed on his neck, causing him goosebumps! But the sound of breathing gradually stabilized, and he fell asleep.
The angry Zimo finally saw the Big Dipper in the sky above the Dragon Palace, and then rolled his eyes and fainted.
The next morning, in the slight cold pain, Zimo opened his eyes, his legs were a little cool, and he suppressed a lot of the hot pain from yesterday, and the result was ......
"You! What are you doing? Zimo's bare legs were completely exposed to the air, and Jiang Yuze had a solemn face and wanted to lift his waist.
"You got into a fight with Uncle Xiao yesterday and were injured like this?" Jiang Yuze looked at Zimo's originally slender legs in disbelief, which became blurred with flesh and blood, pitted and pitted, and even exposed white leg bones in some places.
"Do you care?!" Zimo thought of Xiao Ling'er, who was dressed in a wedding dress yesterday, and couldn't help but feel sour, why wasn't it someone else? It's Xiao Yihan who can't even win.
But he can't be like others, saying that she is a cholera gangster, bullying teachers and destroying ancestors, then she will be sad. He can only bless her, it is enough to be better than him. But since this fishtail has been shown to her, she doesn't plan to take back this heart, she didn't admit it then, and she doesn't recognize it now, but how can he lie to himself.
