635 Requiem
Chen Si naturally wouldn't tell Gu Fengchun about these past events. In this environment, Gu Fengchun didn't have the heart to ask about this, finding a place for Luo Xiaodan to rest was the most important thing at present. With the cooperation of the two, Luo Xiaodan was pulled to the shore in an instant. Chen Si took out acupuncture again and helped Luo Xiaodan get a few stitches, and Luo Xiaodan's face gradually became rosy, and his consciousness slowly recovered.
This sudden change made the team even worse. Originally, there were enough wounded in the team, and falling from this height added more difficulty to the team. Da Yumu had fallen into a deep coma, and although Chen Si's medical skills were excellent, he could no longer be awakened by acupuncture; An injured lama of Soren Gyatso was even more unlucky and fell to his death. Soren Gyatso and one of the remaining accomplices were muttering verses to their companions, overpowering the souls of the dead. Chen Si was busy treating everyone's wounds, and the team fell into silence.
Gu Fengchun hugged Luo Xiaodan and sat on a protruding rock and was silent. Sitting next to him was a merman. The merman's injuries were not light, but he fell into the water, and he was used to living in the water, compared to the injuries of others, it was nothing. Luo Xiaodan was awake for a while, and then slowly fell asleep, and Gu Fengchun took this opportunity to look around carefully.
Geographically, it's a canyon, and it looks like a ray of sky. The bottom is wide and narrow at the top, and the more you go up, the narrower it becomes, and when you reach a height of about fifty meters, the rock is replaced by a thick layer of bronze, and the place above is invisible, surrounded by a thick mist. Looking up along the current, a cascading waterfall rushed down two or three miles away, and the rapid flow of water became gentle. But this is just the appearance, Gu Fengchun, who was almost swept away by the undercurrent under the water just now, didn't believe that the current was like a calm appearance seen by the eyes.
However, Gu Fengchun was more interested in the thick scarlet color in the water. Whether it's in terms of color or taste, Gu Fengchun knows what it is.
That's blood! It's just that Gu Fengchun can't imagine how there can be so much blood in this huge stream! Gu Fengchun's gaze followed the riverbed to the opposite side again. The opposite side is the direction from which we came from. The sight on that side made Gu Fengchun shudder.
There were countless corpses piled up, as Luo Xiaodan said. However, Luo Xiaodan didn't make it very clear, only some of these corpses rotted into white bones, and some of them still had flesh, and Gu Fengchun even saw that there was blood on these corpses. It seems that the scarlet in this stream of water was created by these corpses. As you can imagine, only a small fraction of the total number of corpses he saw, and it seems that there are many more such corpses upstream.
"What's going on?" Gu Fengchun was a little confused. It was hard for him to imagine what had kept these corpses alive for thousands of years. And it also maintained a state of constant bleeding.
"Because their time stopped at this moment, they stayed as they were before time stood still." The merman next to him said solemnly.
"Oh?" Gu Fengchun was rarely able to listen to the merman take the initiative to explain these issues to him. At this moment, when he heard the merman take the initiative to speak, he couldn't help but move in his heart. Listen to the merman's words.
"Witch King, have you forgotten the inscriptions of our mermaids that we saw in the secret room?" The merman's gaze became very deep.
"Yes." Of course, Gu Fengchun will not forget the inscription like a tongue twister.
"That's the blood of those construction workers back then." The merman sighed and said, "But I believe that this is only a small part, and the ones we see in the secret room are only a small part, and we can see more blood if we go on." ”
Gu Fengchun nodded, noncommittal. However, after listening to the merman's affirmative tone, he felt that the merman had a lot of things to hide from him. The merman was very smart, and when he saw Gu Fengchun's hot eyes, he showed an ugly smile, and he said, "Witch King, there are some things that I want to tell you, but not now. I promise that in due course, I will tell you everything, including the divine prophecies of our Shark race. ”
Gu Fengchun was stunned. He had no idea what the so-called divine prophecy of the merman race was. The merman obviously didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he twisted his head slightly, and sang an unknown ballad in a tone that Gu Fengchun didn't understand.
I have to say that although the appearance of the mermaids is not flattering, they are natural musicians, and they can make people fascinated when they sing. After listening to the merman's singing, Gu Fengchun also felt that the discomfort in his body had been greatly soothed. Only then did he know that this song actually had a healing effect, and Gu Fengchun couldn't help but feel magical.
"What song is this?" After the merman stopped singing, Gu Fengchun asked with a sigh.
"Requiem." The merman looked at the bloody tumbling water and said slowly: "In the legend of our merman, after the death of each clansman, the soul can be thrown into the arms of the moon god and sing in the eternal heaven. A life without storms, without hunting. The merman's voice carried a hint of vicissitudes, obviously with a lot of emotion.
Gu Fengchun naturally knew that the most hunted sharks were naturally humans. The reason why the merman came here is also to be able to leave the fate of the deep sea and live on land like humans. Gu Fengchun nodded with all his thoughts and said, "A very nice song, can you sing it again?" ”
The merman didn't speak, but he slowly hummed in a deep voice, and Gu Fengchun listened carefully to every note that the merman hummed, not only Gu Fengchun, everyone was fascinated. Everyone forgot their fears and fatigue and immersed themselves in the world of music brought by the merman.
After the merman finished singing for a long time, no one moved. It was Chen Si who broke the silence, and he said very inappropriately, "It's time for us to go." Gu Fengchun glanced at him, nodded, and said, "Where should I go?" ”
"Follow the current, go down." Chen Si's hand pointed under the river, and when he said this, his voice raised an octave, and continued: "Everyone cheer me up, be careful of the dangers in and around the water, especially the flying snake, everyone should pay attention, Feng Chun was attacked by it just now, I believe that there will definitely be such an abominable thing around here."
