Chapter 41: Mermaid Paste

Qin Beiyang and Jiuse both came over and saw that the female mermaid had carved many lines on the ground - first a fish, then the fins grew longer and longer, and then turned into hands, which could be used to build tools, and then the head of the fish also began to change, and gradually had an upper body similar to that of a human......

She also painted a land scene, ancient mythical beasts that had long been extinct, such as the mammoth of Siberia, the black dragon flying in the sky, the mirage hidden in the abyss of Daze, and even a nine-colored divine deer - just like the one hidden in the shell of the town's tomb beast!

Then, the mermaid drew groups of apes, which gradually changed into different forms and began to descend from the trees and walk upright on the savannah. These "apes" began to hunt with their hands, learned to preserve and use fire, and assisted each other.

It was the earth tens of thousands of years ago, the dawn of mankind, the Garden of Eden in Genesis, and Darwin's theory of evolution.

The "apes" carved out of the shells are vivid, but they are constantly preyed upon by wild beasts, dying of disease and calamity, and finally leaving behind a small group of people, who are very close to modern humans, but they are unclothed, and they behave cruelly, killing wild beasts and their companions mercilessly. They learned to make and use weapons, hunt mythical beasts with spears and bows and arrows, kill mammoths, kill wyverns in the sky, kill mirages in water, kill phoenixes in nirvana in fire, and even kill Leviathan and the Ten Horned Seven......

In the twentieth century, under the South China Sea, the mausoleum of the late Song Emperor, the female mermaid who guarded the tomb for the little emperor for 600 years, drew the evolutionary history of human beings and mermaids with shells with both hands at the same time.

In the ocean, the male mermaid becomes strong, the female merman becomes soft, and even gives birth to breasts that only mammals have. When the mermaid comes out of the follicle, it has a prototype similar to that of a human baby. The female mermaid holds the child in her arms and feeds it with milk. The merman is an evolutionary product of a prehistoric half-human, half-beast.

10,000 years ago, humans on land multiplied and spread all over the earth, not only hunting and gathering, but also learning to domesticate livestock, sow seeds and cultivate the land, gather mulberry and weave cloth, and build houses. Humans have experienced great floods, cut down forests, exterminated wild beasts, built pyramids in the desert, built dikes along great rivers, and built cities in the wilderness. A giant tower that spirals to the sky, rising between two rivers - the Tower of Babylon?

The female mermaid sped up the painting of her left and right hands, and perhaps her left and right hemispheres could work in harmony at the same time, and the evolution was more powerful.

For the first time, humans encountered mermaids in the sea, using all kinds of brutal weapons - harpoons, fishing nets, bows, and even poisons...... The mermaid is melted into a fish paste, which can light up the night and help the ship sail through the night; The merman was abused in captivity, and his grief flowed back into tears, like a brilliant pearl of the night, which can decorate human wives and daughters, and even graves.

For thousands of years, male and female mermaids have turned into mermaid paste and into the unquenchable light in the underground palace.

Because shark people are extremely long-lived, some can live for tens of thousands of years. Therefore, although rare, it is not extinct.

Facing this female mermaid who had experienced the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Black Iron Age, the Gunpowder Age and the Electric Age but was still young, Qin Beiyang saw the secret of Xu Fu's "elixir of immortality" in the Qin Dynasty.

"Thank you!"

Two simple words, but they seem to represent the ancestors of Qin Beiyang, saying a thousand words.

She gripped his wrist firmly, and at the last moment, the cold fingers let go, like letting the kite fly into the sky with a broken string.

Facing the coffin of Emperor Zhao Yu at the end of the Song Dynasty, and the burial place of Qin Nianbei, Qin Beiyang knelt on his knees and kowtowed.

Nine Colors followed him to the door of the tomb facing the deep sea. Take a deep breath to fill the lobes of your lungs with the air of the tomb, to brew the breath that can rise to the surface of the sea, and to inhibit the cancer cells.

Opening the door of the tomb, the sea water rushed in, and Qin Beiyang and Jiu Se swam out, like two sea beasts, passing through the glowing coral trees, rising straight to the sea surface.

The mermaid followed behind and grabbed his ankle again. Qin Beiyang thought that she was still reluctant to herself, but she screamed wildly, and her eyes and gestures showed that he would not surface so quickly.

She is saving Qin Beiyang's life.

Every 10 meters of diving in the human body is equivalent to an increase in atmospheric pressure, which is transported to the whole body through blood circulation, producing a large number of nitrogen bubbles. If you float too quickly from the deep sea, air bubbles can collect in the tissues and blood to form embolism. Some people, even if they surface, die quickly. Divers can get decompression sickness from scuba diving, and they can also get freediving.

Qin Beiyang is in a dilemma, if he doesn't float up quickly, the breath he holds in his lungs will run out, and instead of drowning in the deep sea, he has to risk running to the surface of the sea to breathe.

The mermaid hugged him again and bit his lip violently. She didn't suck the air in Qin Beiyang's lungs anymore, but instead gave him a steady stream of oxygen. As long as he kissed her, the four lips were tightly connected, and Qin Beiyang could slowly float up.

In the dark depths of the South China Sea, in dozens of atmospheres, this heart-wrenching kiss lasted for half an hour.

Rising to the surface, the sun rises in the dawn sky, casting the rocky islands into a backlit silhouette.

The female mermaid accompanied Qin Beiyang to swim, like a white dolphin that jumped out of the water from time to time. led him to the other side of the island, where there was a sea cave under the cliff.

Qin Beiyang swam with her into the depths of the cave, like a dark river with nine bends and eighteen bends. There are more than a dozen large wine barrels hidden in the cave, and Qin Beiyang can really see it, it is an oak wine barrel.

The cave is small, but there are several Spanish helmets and cuirass, which the Japanese call "Nanban carcass", as well as Western swords, 16th-century arquebuses, broken iron crosses, and even a mutilated Latin Bible.

The female mermaid picked up two more oyster shells, and carved on the ground with her left and right hands at the same timeβ€”

Western sailing ships came to the South China Sea, carrying artillery and high-nosed Europeans. They killed a large number of mermaids, burned a cauldron on the island, boiled hundreds of mermaid corpses, boiled a huge amount of mermaid paste, filled oak barrels, and waited for the monsoon to be transported back to Europe. The surviving mermaids decide to take revenge and scuttle the huge sailing ship. Europeans are trapped on isolated islands, and as long as they go to the sea to fish, they will be caught by the mermaids until they all starve to death. The barrel filled with mermaid paste remains in the cave forever......

Qin Beiyang estimated the time to be the early 16th century, the Age of Discovery, the Ming Dynasty Zhengde period, the Portuguese just arrived on China's coastline.

The female mermaid opened the tap of the oak barrel and a small cloud of viscous yellow liquid flowed out, which was the legendary mermaid paste.

She struck a spark out of stone, and the mermaid paste burned instantly, a dazzling green fire.

"What are you going to do?" Qin Beiyang patted the oak wine barrel from four hundred years ago, "Do you want to give me a barrel of mermaid paste?" ”

Tonight, she heard the conversation between him and Lao Jin clearly, and she understood why he came to the South China Sea.

This bucket of priceless mermaid paste is her gift to Qin Beiyang, one is to thank you for saving her life, and the other is the love between husband and wife six hundred years ago.

Qin Beiyang used the iron cable left by the Portuguese to tie the town's tomb beast and oak wine barrel together, and swam out of the submarine cave together, returning to the sea where the sun was rising.

He saw Lao Jin and Zhongshan on the beach of the island, as well as the old man and the girl of Tando.

Qin Beiyang and the female mermaid will eventually separate. He and her long hair are entangled, like two clumps of seaweed, cut constantly, and the combing is messy, it is sorrowful!

The young man Zhongshan threw a three-foot Tang knife, Qin Beiyang caught the knife, and cut off the tangled hair with his backhand.

The female mermaid is submerged in the foamy water, like Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid turning into foam in the sun......
