The half-human, half-fish thing clung to the ground and began to writhe to get away from us.

Huang Yuwen also pulled me back desperately.

Only then did I realize that the fishy smell just now was emitted by it, and now as its body writhed, the smell was so strong that my nose would be hot and painful when I gasped.

The mermaid tried her best to move, but there was no progress, and it only moved less than half a meter from beginning to end.

When I looked closely, I saw that its arms had been lying limp on the ground, as if it had no bones, and it was no wonder that it could only move in an awkward way by twisting its body.

Seeing that there was no danger, I also grabbed Huang Yuwen and asked her to wait for a while.

After all, two people with kitchen knives are so afraid of a half-man, half-fish, and half-crippled monster, it's too much to say.

"Sister Huang, look, this thing seems to be very afraid of us."

Huang Yuwen's whole body was attached to my back, and his little face was buried behind my shoulders, not to mention looking at it, if it was a little tighter, it was estimated that even the nose would not be breathable.

The mermaid writhed in embarrassment, and looked back at us with a frightened face from time to time, and then I became bolder, and I shone my flashlight on it to see what it looked like.

This photo, my heart is chuckling.

This is a typical male mermaid that is most commonly seen in movies.

A thin, fair body, a huge fishtail glowing with a dull green glow, a collapsed nose and sharp teeth, everything about him was exactly as described in mythology.

"Damn... There really are mermaids in this world...", I blurted out unconsciously.

At this point, the mermaid's struggling escape finally made progress, and his slime-covered body scurried forward, and then, as if he were on a slippery slide, he slid all the way down the steps and slid out of our sight with the help of slime.

A few seconds later, there was a slight sound of entering the water far below the steps, presumably the mermaid had escaped into the water.

"Okay, the mermaid is gone, I said eldest sister, can you not stick so tightly, your nose is in the shoulder blades."

Huang Yuwen heard that the mermaid was gone, and finally tilted his head to look at it in cringe.

"Sister Huang, are you sure this thing can fly in the sky?"

I think it's amazing when I think of Huang Yuwen's previous description, the mermaid just now has no wings, and people are moving so the ground, how can it fly?

After I finished asking, Huang Yuwen also showed a puzzled look and tilted her head, probably recalling what she saw before.

"No... I didn't think it was this thing I saw before..."

"Then you have to remember well, in case it's something else, then we have to be careful, after all, not everything is as non-aggressive as the big fish just now." After saying that, I took out a cigarette and lit it to cover up the smell, the smell of mermaid is too bad.

Huang Yuwen turned my arm and thought for a while, still a little unconvinced, "What I saw should be a humanoid thing, but the body looks a little transparent, but I recalled that it should be without a tail, and it is probably not this mermaid." ”

To be honest, this is difficult, and what Huang Yuwen said means that there is something hidden around us that we don't want to show up.

But at this time, there is no way, if we want to find the cylinder, we can only continue to go down, so even if we learn the news, we are still passive.

"All I can say is be careful, you hide behind me. But if you're afraid, I'll send you out, and you can go home and wait for me. ”

Huang Yuwen slapped me in the face, "How can that work!" I'm here for you, if I don't make some effort, it's okay, don't talk about this, and I'll turn my face. ”

The persuasion was fruitless, so I could only continue to walk with her.

We carefully avoided the slime left by the mermaid and walked down, recalling the mermaid's posture as if she had just sat on a slide, I am sure this thing must be quite quite slippery, if you accidentally step on it, it will definitely be all the way to the end.

After going down about twenty or thirty steps, the walls on both sides of the original open slowly retracted, and at the same time, a vast and strange space appeared in front of us.

At the end of the stairs was a vast space about the size of half a football field, and a shallow layer of water covered the ground, and Huang Yuwen and I felt as if we were standing in front of a shallow pool that was less than half a meter.

There are two huge pillars standing in the shallow pool, and at the top of the pillars is a mountain gate plaque, on which are deeply carved with three vigorous characters - the Hall of Eternal Life.

I remember that there is a hall of eternal life in Huaqingchi in Xi'an, which was built in the Tang Dynasty to commemorate the seven ancients of Gaozu Li Yuan, Taizong Li Shimin, Gaozong Li Zhi, the Great Sage Empress Wu Zetian, Zhongzong Li Xian, Ruizong Li Dan and the posthumously crowned Taishang Xuanyuan Emperor Laozi Li Er.

Therefore, it is also called the Seven Temples or the Gathering Altar.

This is also the place where Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei swore an oath on Qixi Festival, and even in Bai Juyi's well-known "Song of Long Hatred", their lingering love story was recorded - on July 7, the Palace of Eternal Life, when no one whispered in the middle of the night. In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, and on earth I wish to be a branch.

But this can be the same thing, that Hall of Eternal Life is magnificent and bright, and the Hall of Eternal Life in front of me is weird and gloomy, and I can't have the slightest relationship with the word love anyway.

"It's so beautiful..."Huang Yuwen said and walked out from behind me, as if the sight in front of her made her forget her fear.

But I can only disagree with her illogical compliment, "Where is it beautiful, auntie?" It's weird, maybe there's something waiting for us in front of us. ”

"That's what I'm talking about." Huang Yuwen pointed forward and motioned for me to look a little behind the two pillars, "Look, the water there is like a dream." ”

I really couldn't get the artistic conception that the adjective "dreamy" was trying to express, but I really saw a few "dreamy" places along her fingers.

There are a few places behind the pillars, the surface of the water is distorted, the feeling is difficult to describe, as if the refractive index is partially changed, and there are halos of several colors circulating under those few pieces of water, and I think about it for a long time, and I can really only use the word "dream" to barely summarize its corners.

Huang Yuwen was a little fascinated and pulled me a few steps forward, I was also very curious about it, so I didn't stop it.

Getting closer, and with the help of the light of this flashlight, this time I realized, what kind of bullshit dream is this...

That's seven transparent coffins!
