Li Luant smiled silently, Luan Jingjing looked at the rice in her hand, and wanted to refuse arrogantly, but her stomach screamed angrily, as this slaughter said, they only had a few mouthfuls of water left, and there was nothing to eat, and this was not the time to talk about anything at all.

Even if you eat soft rice, this pretty boy has to eat it with hard bones, which is called soft rice and hard eating! And the last time the doctor diagnosed his five internal organs, he said that his stomach and intestines were not very well digested, and what he needed to eat was soft rice!!

We have to use the hardest backbone and eat the softest rice!

Presumably even if Wogua is here, he will agree.

Seeing this scene, Tu Men smiled, and the mole complained and moved to Tu Men's side, whispering, "Boss, this is all out of food, and those rice can't be eaten, the rice we cooked, but we brought it ourselves, this is also the last rice, if we can't find where the gold is hidden and go back, we will starve to death, how can you divide things out?" ”

Seeing that Tumen was silent, he viciously whispered in his ear, "It's better to kill them, I think what they said about no food is also an excuse, there must be some, snatch it over, so-"

Tu Men snorted lightly, "What do you know, with our current situation, even if we really do that, there are those things outside that are in the way, and I can't get out, so I just hide here and survive, and finally die because I ran out of ammunition and food, but I just lasted a few more days of life, and I couldn't get Fan Li's gold treasure, so wouldn't it be for nothing?" We have endured so much suffering, and finally the Song Zhao Lama, his people are dead and we are still alive, do you want to let the last person of Song Zhao get all the benefits? ”

"But you're now, boss—"

"This kid is now equivalent to a living map, what Song Zhao has in his hand, we also have it, that is, standing on the same starting line, as long as he goes out, even if Song Zhao is now the first to arrive, there are four people on our side, I don't believe that he Song Zhao has fallen to the point of pushing his apprentices out to death, and there is a second person by his side? Even if there are people, he is so ruthless, he has already lost the hearts of the people, who will follow him? Let's win four to one, not to mention, in the end, we can get rid of Song Zhao with the help of this kid's hand, wouldn't that be a count in one fell swoop? ”

After hearing this, the ruffle suddenly realized, and couldn't help but sigh, "High, really high, worthy of being the boss." He gave a thumbs up to Tumen, but he was a little puzzled, "But boss, you really want the map so much, kill them directly, and let the Li green ant draw one, let's just follow it, why bother?" ”

"Follow along? It's possible, we forced him, if he doesn't paint, he will die, but in case he plays some tricks on me and deliberately draws wrong, we follow the path in case we fall into the trap by mistake, at that time Li Luant and this little girl have been cut by us, where can I find someone to cry? ”

Li Luant and Luan Jingjing eat Zhengxiang, Luan Jingjing is a little strange: although this rice is a little dry, because of the lack of water, it is also a little sandwiched, but it is obviously new rice, it is definitely not the old rice that has been put for more than 2,000 years? This butcher just said that what they took was the old rice in the warehouse, so if this new rice was not here, they brought it, then the quantity was limited, and now that food is life, how could they be so generous? And just now, the mole almost killed the two of them for two mouthfuls of water.

The more Luan Jingjing thought about it, the more wrong it became, and then looked at the rice in her hand, and deeply felt that the rice must be poisoned, so she didn't dare to eat it immediately, but she was ready to remind Li Luan who was happy to eat, who knew that Li Luan didn't care about it, just a vigorous meal, Luan Jingjing eagerly pushed him with her elbow, but there was a low voice in her ear, "Eat quickly, the rice is non-toxic, I know everything you want, and then I'll tell you." ”

Luan Jingjing looked at Li Luant in surprise: It turns out that he has already found out?

Tu Men suddenly stopped because of Luan Jingjing, and made a caring look, "What's wrong?" ”

Luan Jingjing's face stiffened, "Hehe, this, I have been eating out with a lot of dishes, and suddenly this situation is a little sad." ”

"Cut, still sad, do you think this is a five-star hotel?" Some of them eat—"

Tumen smiled, "The girl's sadness is also reasonable, but as long as the little brother really helps us find Fan Li Jinzang in the end, not to mention a meal, it is the entire five-star hotel, and I Tumen can also guarantee to buy a building for the two of you." ”

Luan Jingjing was embarrassed, "Lend you auspicious words." ”

The mole was surprised by the arrogant attitude of his own boss, but Tu Men just smiled, but there was a cold glow hidden in the smile: Now you still need to rely on the strength of the two of you, and when you find the Fan Li Jinzang, the first thing to solve is the two of you! There are also vegetables and meat, in the end it is a layman, in this case, if you don't die, I will slaughter the door to give you a way to live, I really don't know how thick the sky is.

Dinner.

With the help of everything he could see, Li Luant kept shuttling between the sea and the village, Tu Men looked strange, but Luan Jingjing was a little surprised, "Can these materials also make filters?" ”

"Yes, it's not as good as the one on the boat, but I'll be able to drink it all at once."

Seeing this seawater filter, Tumen and the mole looked at each other, as if they didn't expect Li Green Ant to have this use, the mole liked the shape the most, and immediately happy, "It's okay now, with this, you don't have to worry about the water source, and you don't need to rob it." ”

This was a little embarrassing, but the mole himself didn't notice it, Tu Men arched him, and he scratched his head to apologize, "What happened before, please don't mind the two of you, I'm a big old man, I'm used to it." ”

Li Luant smiled kindly, "It's okay, since we have enough food and drink, and we have stored enough water, next, we have to take a good look at what the situation is in this village." ”

This sentence also won the consent of several people.

There are only a dozen doors in the village, just now the kitchen, warehouse, basement have been seen, there is no big problem, a few people pushed the door one by one, one by one, trying to find out from this village, why those black fish spirits dare not enter, and this place can be independent of the ocean, isolated from the water and the reason why there is air.

The black fish spirit that was eyeing the tiger outside was restless because several people kept appearing and did not leave the village, and the black fish spirit hidden in the darkness seemed to be stretched on the string, waiting for an order, waiting for an agreement, but the expected conch horn never made a sound.

At this moment, Luan Jingjing suddenly shouted strangely at a few people, "Look, what is this?" ”

A few people came out of the next room and came to this room, this room was exceptionally warm, and the surrounding layout was like the special delivery room of the ancient merchant's house, warm and lovely, and the reason why Luan Jingjing shouted was because there were countless small wooden beds in this delivery room, and each bed was padded with comfortable and soft cloth, and on top of the cloth, there were actually many white eggs.

The mole tentatively wanted to touch it, but when his hand just touched the egg, the black fish spirit outside rushed over as if it was crazy, and it was no longer fearless, but it was still viciously thrown away by an unknown barrier and rolled out of the way.

The merman, the fish-tailed human body, is called the spirit of the mermaid. The mermaids recorded in ancient Chinese texts are different from the mermaids in Western mythology, and the sharks they produce are not wet when they enter the water, and when they cry, their tears will turn into pearls. The merman's oil, once burned, will not be extinguished for 10,000 years.

There has been a legend of the merman in China for a long time. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the descriptions of the mermaids gradually became more and more detailed. In the poems of Cao Zhi, Zuo Si, and Zhang Hua, the mermaid is mentioned. The legendary mermaid lives a mysterious life. Ganbao's "Sou Shen Ji" contains "There are sharks outside the South China Sea, and the water dwells like fish, and they do not waste their weaving achievements." When his eyes weep, he can produce pearls. Although there are constantly scholars who make research that sharks are marine animals or mermaids.

When Li Luant saw the eggs and the black fish spirit outside the village, he suddenly connected all the clues, and was shocked, "I know, I know the reason why all this happened!" ”

"You got it?" Luan Jingjing was the first to ask, "What the hell are those black fish essences?" ”

"The problem is not those black fish essences, but these eggs, which are not eggs, but the eggs of the mermaids!" Looking at everyone, "That's right, this is the eggs of the mermaid clan, and this whole village is a holy place for hatching these eggs, so those things can't easily come in." ”

The mole sneered, "This is strange, since those things are mermaids, these are their eggs, they can't come in, how did they lay these eggs?" ”

"Who said those black fish spirits were sharks?" Li Luant glanced at him lightly, "I don't know, when you and a group of people entered this water tomb, did you encounter some dead people who came back from the dead?" ”

Tu Men reacted, "Before, you said that one of your team members is named Nie Fengshui, could it be that those black fish spirits outside are actually -"

"Yes, these eggs are not produced by these black fish essences, those black fish essences look like fish, but in fact, they are just puppets that have been manipulated by the mermen to come back from the dead, and they are just puppets with walking corpses, the mermen themselves are good at the art of charm, and myths and legends are immortal, even if they can't live forever, their lifespan is definitely longer than that of normal creatures, and they may have some abilities that cannot be understood by humans."

Luan Jingjing hurriedly said, "Then the weird phenomena we saw before are also them?" ”

Li Luant nodded in affirmation: he and Luan Jingjing suddenly fell into a coma, and suddenly appeared on the cliff, it must be a ghost made by the merman, but according to legend, the merman clan is bloodthirsty and terrible, and it is true that he has come all the way, why did he not kill the two of them, but let the two of them live well, but for no reason they created all kinds of illusions that are real or unreal?

That's right, everything that happened at that time can only be explained in this way, otherwise everything that happened cannot be explained.

The mole shivered and looked at the crazy black fish spirit outside, "Those are the dead people, then these eggs are not theirs, where is the real merman?" ”

Li Luant looked at Luan Jingjing, "Do you remember the village we came over?" ”

"Remember, you mean?"

"That's right, I have a guess in my heart, the reason why these merman clans are here, the biggest significance of their existence is to complete the task of guarding the tomb for Fan Li two thousand five hundred years ago, there are no traps in this entire water tomb, only the endless merman clan, which is already the biggest trap."

Two thousand five hundred years ago, Fan Li stumbled upon this place, so he spent a huge amount of money to carry out drastic transformation here, and also captured countless mermaids, making them his slaves, and guarding his tomb for life and life, in order to let those mermaids not kill each other or cut off their lives in this long time, he built those walled villages, built an ancestral hall for the mermaid people to pay homage to their ancestors, to achieve a state of awe, so that they do not escape, and also in the walled village, built this spawning delivery room, so that the merman people live and work in peace and contentment.

However, in the long evolution, some mermaids have successfully escaped the shackles of Fan Li and can come and go freely throughout the mausoleum, just like humans suddenly stand up and walk upright among apes.

They used their abilities to re-set sail countless ships that had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and they only lent some of their immortal abilities to fresh corpses that had just died, making them their own captains and bringing more playthings for themselves.

Before Li Luant found that the village contained the meaning of gossip, the purpose is not to build, but to trap, think that in the countless villages, there are countless sharks who can not escape and can not escape, are suffering, can only be trapped in that corner of the world for the rest of their lives, walking around in that square inch of land, painful.

Li Luant even felt that the reason why he and Luan Jingjing were not dead was not because they were soft-hearted, but because they wanted to show their despair and play with themselves in applause after seeing that they and Luan Jingjing had worked hard countless times, but they couldn't break free from this cage.

It's just that Li Luant is really puzzled, since some sharks can escape from that village, why do they only limit their eyes to this Fan Li's tomb? The seven oceans are so big, where can't they go? Since they can even break free from the village that trapped them, why do they still stay in this Fan Li tomb? Could it be because something happened in the middle? Originally, they were able to come and go freely, but then who was trapped in it again? So you can only lure outsiders in, but you can't go out?

Li Luant's speculation is almost perfectly consistent with the facts that happened back then, but the most important link is missing.

After listening to Li Luant's explanation, Tu Men also had an understanding: Li Luant's explanation was very perfect, and he couldn't find anything wrong, but it was precisely because everything could be explained that a new problem was formed.

Since these eggs are the eggs of the merman, the only use of the merman trapped in the village is to lay eggs, and then carry them here through those mermaids who can move freely, so why can't the dead people who mutate themselves come in?

"Maybe it's because 'if it's not my race, its heart will be different', although those dead people are loyal to them, but after all, they are not a shark clan, to put it bluntly, they are just a monster who takes refuge in themselves, doing things for themselves, listening to their own conch horn attack, if they are really allowed to come in, in case they go crazy, they will destroy it and smash their eggs, which is equivalent to directly cutting off the shark clan."

In this way, the conch horns I heard before were probably blown by the mermaids behind me, in order to watch the performances of several of them all the time.

"Damn!" The mole is obviously a bit of a bully and afraid of the hard, and fiercely "If they fall into my hands-"

Li Luant continued, "I guess that the most fundamental reason why those mermen are like this is because they can freely shuttle in this Fan Li tomb and can deploy these dead mermaids as they want, let's call them mutant mermaids, and their number is not much. ”

Luan Jingjing didn't agree at this time, "According to what you said, the merman put his eggs here, and when it naturally broke out of its shell, then there were so many fish boys and girls we met before, and the number was too much, but didn't you just say that they couldn't leave the village?" ”

Li Luant's calm "merman family, in the final analysis, is still fish, fish spawning, the number has always been thousands, those are defective products, and it can even be said that they are abandoned babies who cannot grow up." ”

Cartilaginous fishes are in vivo fertilization, while bony fishes are in vitro fertilization.

The body of the class Cartilaginous Ichthyidae consists of three parts: the head, the trunk, and the tail. Their skeletal bones are all cartilage, the vertebral body is biconcave, and the notochord remains in the shape of a rosary. Both the upper and lower jaws have teeth, which become weapons for predation and attack. The male body has flippers and is oviparous, ovoviviparous or pseudoviviparous.

Bony fish are male fish generally do not have a mating organ, are in vitro fertilization, in vitro development, small eggs, low survival rate, but large spawning.

No matter what kind of fish they are, they lay a huge number of eggs, but the eggs placed here are as if they have been selected by thousands of people, and the number is very small, and they are not worthy of the number.

Li Luant smiled slightly, "Do you know the story of the first to breed white calendula?" ”

Luan Jingjing raised her eyebrows: she was very smart, so she naturally understood what Li Luant meant when he said this.

Sometimes when you ask a question, the other party's attitude is nothing more than a few, if you avoid answering, you will answer your question, if the answer is not asked, it is also a way to answer the question, it depends on whether you are the other party's song.

Tu Men and the mole are obviously both big and coarse, seeing the two of them smiling, they seem to have understood, but they don't know, and they are immediately a little unhappy, "Little brother, this is a problem that everyone found together, don't hide what you don't say." ”

Li Luant was silent, but Luan Jingjing was faint, "Organisms express different parts of the genome at different stages and in different parts of ontogeny through the regulation of gene level and transcription level, and the result is to complete cell differentiation and ontogeny." Selective expression of genes refers to the phenomenon of selective expression of genes under specific temporal and spatial conditions in cell differentiation, and the result is the formation of cells with different morphological structures and physiological functions, that is, gene selection. ”

The mole blinked and looked at Tumen, "Boss, do you understand what you mean?" ”

Tumen didn't understand very well, Li Green Ant could only go further since then, "Those monsters that attacked you before, immature monsters, are actually descendants of sharks, but those are abandoned mongrels, they themselves are very fragile, and their lifespan will not be very long, once this creature is abandoned, they are not raised by the mother, they have no wisdom of their own, they have not been taught, the whole race will soon die of cannibalism due to hunger, when we first saw those things before, although they looked terrible, but they were the most obvious, Isn't it just a bulging belly, as if a full meal? That's the best proof of this. ”

Once those things are hungry and can't find something to eat, they are still infants, they will eat everything they can see, and they won't live long, but these eggs in the nursery are different, presumably those sharks use this place as a breeding base for excellent genes, and the source of these eggs must also be those sharks who can get out of the shackles of the village.

Because the sharks who are still in the village have been abandoned, they are isolated from the world, isolated, and can only be trapped in a square inch of land all day long, and there is no possibility of turning over, but they can escape from there are all good genetic development prospects, they take themselves as a springboard, and pin their hopes on the generations of mermaid descendants, hoping that they can have a better future development in the future, and choose the best, and the rest are all garbage.

It's ruthless.

Presumably, when he and Luan Jingjing were put on the broken wall, the merman already knew that there were those things below, but he still insisted on doing so, probably the purpose was to let himself witness the misery of the merman clan, and even if there were those boys and girls who survived, the final fate was still the same as the ancestors trapped in the village, and they could not turn over forever.

The gap between humans and gorillas is not the same, but human beings are benevolent, after solving the problem of food and clothing, gorillas have become protected animals, and they have also provided them with a place to live, and even villas to live in, eat and drink spicy food in the zoo, and can also charge admission fees, but these mermaids who have been abandoned after natural selection are not, and they will carry this shackle for their children and grandchildren until they die.

The result of this is that the good ones are better, and the bad ones are worse.

If there is really one merman in those villages who can come out, then the fate of the merman will change, otherwise he can only die of old age.

Li Luant's previous guess was also good, the number of mermaids who could really come out of those villages was very small, otherwise why didn't they do everything themselves, but instead gathered such a large group of dead thugs to be pawns and horsemen for them and become their puppet slaves?

Hearing this, the mole felt a chill on his back, picked up an egg and threw it on the ground, Li Luant stopped it in time, "What are you doing?" ”

"What? Aren't those sharks hurting us badly enough? Look at the puppets gathered outside, they were all instructed by the merman, and if they don't let us have a good time, we will kill these eggs, and I won't let him have a good time! ”
