240. Black jade

I imagined in my mind that the picture was indeed terrifying. Fortunately, I can't see it, otherwise I'm afraid I would have been as frightened as Liu Yue and exclaimed. Just speculated that the pearls here were shark tears, and immediately saw a whole row of sharks behind the stone gate, confirming that this is indeed the shark palace. As soon as we descended to the bottom of Fuxian Lake, we had already witnessed three major mysteries: the underwater ancient city, the giant fish and the shark palace.

It wouldn't be too surprising if another dragon came out later. I heard Zhou Tong asking: "Brother Yao, why are these sharks all dug out their chests and lit up the lights?" Isn't there already a night pearl lighting? ”

Sheng Shiyao didn't answer, but heard Liu Yue tremble slightly: "Sharks are like fishes, they can live for thousands of years, crying tears into beads, and they are worth a lot of money; The anointing burns the lamp, and it will not be extinguished for ten thousand years; The woven shark silk is as light as a feather; Its scales can cure all kinds of diseases and prolong life; After his death, he turned into **, rose in the sky, and fell in the sea. Zhou Tong was surprised and asked, "Ah Yue, do you also know this merman?" ”

"I saw it in a book, and it is said that its anointing is a lamp, but it will not be extinguished for ten thousand years, and the anointing part is in front of you."

Zhou Tong clapped his hands, "I know, the 10,000-year-old lamps in the tombs of ancient nobles are generally burned with this kind of grease, by the way, there are also immortal candles...... Liu Yue shouted angrily: "Zhou Tong, shut up!" Even the sixth son was beside him: "Lao Zhou, don't say a few words, Brother Yao didn't speak, just listen to you arguing here." ”

I know why they are so nervous, because the immortal candle is their life-sustaining lamp, after all, there are still a few outsiders under Zhuang Yu's hands, and it is really not appropriate to publicize it. Zhou Tong also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he closed his mouth without saying a word.

In this way, the immortal candle of the three of them is also made of mermaid oil, I don't know where Sheng Shiyao got the immortal candle to renew the life of the three of them. Seeing that he had been silent, I asked aloud, "What do you think?" ”

Among those of us, what Sheng Shiyao said is basically a representative of authority, and it is also the closest to the real answer.

Sure enough, Sheng Shiyao said amazingly: "Those above their heads are not night pearls, their brightness is made by the light on the shark's chest." These mermen not only hollowed out their chests, but also hollowed out their chests up to their heads, leaving only a layer of original skin wrapped outside, which is equivalent to a lantern made of shark skin and skeleton. ”

There was silence, only the sound of everyone panting, and after a long while, I heard someone say in panic: "This is also ...... It's so brutal. These words speak to the hearts of the people. Although the merman is not a real human being, it is a kind of aquatic creature, but it is too cruel to die like this, and it is made into a lantern after death, which will not be extinguished for ten thousand years, and will remain here for ten thousand years.

What kind of people treat these mermen like this, is it just to take their grease and light the lamp?

But I heard Sheng Shiyao's gloomy voice saying: "The mermaids are sexually lewd and bloodthirsty, they release their voices to attract people who confuse the past, and the victims are all eaten to the bones." It is said that before death, people will be tortured by mermen, and if people do not kill them immediately, they will be confused by it in various ways, and they will be devoured by it. ”

I can't help but sigh that the mermaid is so cunning, and it is not as kind as the mermaid imagined.

Due to the horror of the merman's death, we walked on this merman road, every foot was like stepping on the tip of our hearts, and we didn't dare to come out. Even if I can't see the face of the merman clearly, I can also get a glimpse of it from the form, and my palms can't help but sweat. The big palm reached over and grabbed my hand, and my thunderous heart suddenly settled. This promenade-like natural cave is very long, and there are sharks standing and lighting lamps every few meters, and there are at least 20 or so sharks along the road.

Finally came to the end, it was a double-opened stone door, very strange, the cave wall of this mermaid road was uneven, and there were no traces of man-made, only this kind of stone door looked man-made. There is no mechanism for this stone door, and the crack in the door is pushed open with a push of force, and Zhou Tong and another person stand on both sides, making some force to push the door completely open, and the space behind the door is impressive.

In Zhou Tong's words, today he really saw what it means to be gorgeous and extravagant.

The rumored Lonely Mountain Shark Palace should be here, a huge space, full of pearlescent light, and treasures are only embellished and decorated here. There are no palace columns, but the natural stalactites are connected with stalagmites, colorful, and more spectacular than those seen in the cave of the gods of the Yan tribe. Suddenly I realized that my eyes could see more clearly, and these dazzling scenes could blur into my eyes, and it was the darkness that faded. In other words, there is a substance in this space that washes turbidity, and I wonder if I will be able to recover my vision after staying here for a long time.

Looking back at Sheng Shiyao, his facial features were clear, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, I didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't pay attention to me. As for the others, they were also attracted by the spectacular spectacle of this shark palace.

But...... Hearing Zhou Tong ask suspiciously: "Brother Yao, there are so many stalagmites twisting and turning, how do you go?" ”

That's right, because the stalagmites grow out of the ground of different heights, the high ones are more than two meters, and the low ones are about one meter, standing everywhere, forming a curve like a maze. I can't help but think of the phantom array in the Immortal Cave Mansion, there won't be this formation here. Sheng Shiyao groaned, telling everyone to follow closely and not to fall behind. I chose an entrance and walked, I chose the right if there was a bend, walked for nearly ten minutes, and arrived at a corner of the Shark Palace, and found that there was also a lantern made of a merman erected here, and a lantern was lit on the chest. But instead of beads on his head, he covered his eyes with his hands.

It's weird, I don't know why. Next, we walked in the stalagmite forest and found that there was also a mermaid in the other three corners, covering his eyes with his hands. In fact, I secretly understood in my heart that although this place was called the Shark Palace, the owner of the palace could never be a shark, because it was impossible to be so cruel that even his own kind would be killed. Could the owner of this palace really be a mythical dragon that was extinct tens of thousands of years ago?

I had a doubt in my heart, all the legends related to the sharks refer to why there were so many sharks at the bottom of Fuxian Lake in the South China Sea, the East China Sea, or other seas? Even the legendary dragon should be in the sea.

After returning to the starting point, Sheng Shiyao re-chose a stalagmite road, and chose the left at the fork in the road, it was obvious that we were going to the middle. Because it is obscured by the stalactites hanging down and connected to the stalagmites, it is impossible to see the middle position, and the pearls embedded in the stone crevices on both sides are shining.

Originally, someone wanted to take those beads privately, but they were not allowed to move by Sheng Shiyao, Zhou Tong and Liuzi naturally listened, but Zhuang Yu's people had some complaints, but they were afraid that there were too many of us and did not dare to take action. When bypassing the colorful stone pillars, we were all stunned, there seemed to be a pool in the middle, the pool water was quiet, and we naturally thought what would be in the pool.

It's so big, it's definitely impossible for a dragon, is there still a living shark here? Suddenly, some felt that the previous speculation might not be correct, if there was really a mermaid alive here, then there was no doubt that it was the owner of this palace.

Although it seemed to be close at hand, it still took a long time to walk to the edge of the pool. Suddenly, I heard the six sons shouting: "Look underwater! Then came the sound of gasping, because my vision was blocked, it was good to be able to get a vague glimpse of the outline, it was impossible to see the bottom of the water, so I could only prick up my ears and ask: "What is under the water?" ”

Zhou Tong said: "This seems to be a coffin, but this material is ...... Black jade? It's still shining. ”

Black jade? Coffin? I was stunned, because Zhuang Yu brought a black jade ring, and I was once controlled by his black jade bead chain, so I was very sensitive to this material, and I always felt that this kind of jade had an evil spirit. And Zhuang Yu just has a few rings and bead chains made of black jade, and now it is said that there is a coffin made of black jade at the bottom of the pool, how many raw materials do you need?

"It's different from Yu." Sheng Shiyao, who was very silent after entering this shark palace, suddenly spoke, "Hers is a special material, which gathers the black essence of heaven and earth, which is very different from the black jade at the bottom of this pool. It is not because it glows itself, but because of the reflection of the pool water, and there is no black jade in this world that can shine. ”

Think about it, the light is white first, and the jade is black, where can there be fluorescence. But I heard Zhou Tong asking: "Brother Yao, the pattern engraved on it seems to be a dragon, this place can't be the tomb of any emperor, right?" It's really enough, it can be found in such a place where the aura of heaven, earth, and water gathers to be buried, and let the merman light a 10,000-year-old lamp to serve, and the pomp is big enough. It's just that I haven't heard of this kind of water burial, so isn't the emperor afraid of the body decomposing after death? ”

Sheng Shiyao was speechless, his face was calm from my point of view, and his eyes were fixed on the pool. It was really unexpected that a coffin suddenly appeared in this shark palace, but what was even more unexpected was that I don't know who touched the mechanism, and suddenly the black jade coffin that was originally sunk at the bottom of the pool slowly rose. Everyone looked at each other, and Sheng Shiyao asked angrily, "Who triggered the mechanism?" ”

No one said anything, who would dare to admit it at this time? I only heard Liu Yue say: "Brother Yao, look, is it caused by the ball he stepped on the sole of his foot?" A frightened male voice was immediately heard on the left: "Ah! I stepped on it by accident, not knowing it was a trap. ”

I couldn't make out what was on the ground from a distance, but from what they said, it was clear that the man had inadvertently stepped on the beads, which triggered the rise of the black jade coffin at the bottom of the pool. As he spoke, the coffin had surfaced and was still rising. When it rose to the dew surface of the entire black jade coffin, there was a muffled sound, stopped, and my heart couldn't help but tremble. Originally, everyone was already on alert, fearing that they would trigger other lethal mechanisms, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement.
