Chapter 40: Cliffs and Mountains under the Sea
For the first time in the history of life on Earth, the battle between the antlers and the octopus is over, and the two sides are temporarily silent.
The female mermaid took Qin Beiyang's hand, walked around the nine colors of the antlers, and crawled to the edge of the underground palace. There is a large pool, perhaps connected to the bottom of the sea, overgrown with colorful aquatic plants and many exotic small tropical fish.
She dragged Qin Beiyang and jumped into the blue pool to clean the octopus ink for him. The aquatic plants in the pool have healing properties, and the scars she had been tortured by Lao Jin quickly faded and recovered. There is a beautiful coral bed at the bottom of the water, carefully polished with various lace edges, and pink starfish decoration, which is like a Western girl's boudoir.
Qin Beiyang was dragged to her bed by the female merman, a veritable "waterbed".
Yes, this is her home!
Nine colors also jumped down and took the initiative to take a bath for the first time. This is a pool of living water, and there is a tunnel below that can accommodate the female mermaids to pass freely, and the sea water is like a mountain spring constantly washing, which can remain clear forever.
Qin Beiyang looked at her glass-colored eyeballs, which were exactly the same as Ouyang Anna.
Isn't Anna's mother from the island of Java in the South Seas? Perhaps, Anna's maternal line is mixed with merman blood.
He didn't miss the bed of the female merman, turned over and climbed out of the pool, returned to the underground palace of the Song Dynasty, and stared at the octopus town tomb beast in front of the coffin.
Qin Beiyang found a stone stele. It's not an epitaph, nor is it a Six Dynasties script, but a concise and easy-to-understand ancient vernacular text-
Alack! The Great Song Dynasty has died in three hundred years! Qin Nianbei, the minister, will be the tomb keeper, and build the mausoleum and town tomb for the emperor for generations. The Yuan thieves invaded the south, the country was lost, and the people were devastated. 100,000 soldiers and civilians defended the cliff mountain, and the whole army was annihilated. The late emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, obscure and seven-year-old, Prime Minister Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with the late emperor on his back, and would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile. Ministers and secretly born on the island, loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, to build a mausoleum palace, to make a town tomb beast, specially made this monument, if there are descendants here, remember to restore the country for the Great Song Dynasty!
In just a few lines, Qin Beiyang has completely understood. The name of "Qin Nianbei" also has the style of "Wang Shi set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice did not forget to tell Naiweng" after the Song Dynasty crossed to the south - he is the son of Qin Chu who fled from Xiangyang to Jiangnan?
The Mongol army swept across Eurasia, destroying the withering and decaying, which the Europeans called the "whip of God", from Kiev to the Danube, cut off from the population; From Samarkand to Baghdad, thousands of miles away; The Assasin Assassin Order, which had stood for more than a century, was also reduced to rubble on the top of a precipitous mountain like the Taibai Mountain. The Southern Song Empire, which was strong in culture and weak in martial arts, struggled to support it for more than 40 years. After many battles to defend Xiangyang, the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge also died in the Diaoyu City of Sichuan. The Yuan Dynasty gathered the forces of the four khanates and attacked a corner of the Southern Song Dynasty. Kublai Khan made an expedition to Tibet and Dali and completed a strategic encirclement from the southwest. Xiangyang fell, went down the river, and conquered Lin'an.
The small court of the Southern Song Dynasty went into exile, and Song Duanzong succeeded to the throne and died soon after. The emperor's younger brother Zhao Yu succeeded to the throne, and there is only the title of "Emperor Yu" of the late Song Dynasty in the history books. The soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty defended Yashan in Guangdong, and Wen Tianxiang was captured in Wupoling. Zhang Hongfan, a general of the Han Dynasty of the Yuan Dynasty, led a land and water army to besiege Yashan. A naval battle that decided the fate of Chinese history, and the entire army of the Southern Song Dynasty was annihilated. Lu Xiufu, the prime minister of Zuo, did not want to repeat the humiliation of the exile of the second emperor of Huiqin when the Northern Song Dynasty fell, and threw himself into the sea with the seven-year-old little emperor on his back to die in the sea. The remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty collectively committed suicide by jumping into the sea, and there were 100,000 floating corpses on the sea surface of Yashan Mountain......
The bronze octopus tomb beast in front of him is the tomb beast of the last emperor of the Song Dynasty.
On the other side of the stele, Qin Nianbei more than 600 years ago also engraved such a text-
Fifty years ago, Xiaochen fought in Yashan, died and came to life, floating sampan to the isolated island of the South China Sea, and there were many male and female sharks in the sea. The minister saw that there were the remains of a boy in the sea, covered by a flock of birds, his face was like life, and he was wearing a yellow dragon robe, he must be the last emperor. The minister mourns and cries, the emperor collapses in the water, this island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, so the mausoleum is built at the bottom of the sea, it is the cliff mountain under the sea. The minister has lived on the island for a long time, and his private daughter is a merman, and he has become a husband and wife, and he has never set foot on the mainland of China for 50 years. Today, in his old age, his teeth are shaking. However, my wife is still twenty-eight young and beautiful, and it has not changed for fifty years, and the life span of the merman is far better than that of people. The minister is about to die, may my wife live forever and perish, and spring with the sun and moon of heaven and earth. Qin Nianbei's masterpiece!
"Is that you?"
Reciting it three times, Qin Beiyang pointed to the female mermaid with a bewitching posture.
She became sad and looked at a small grave on the edge of the pool, that was the place where Qin Nianbei's bones were buried?
"The private girl merman, married and married" is her.
Qin Nianbei has lived with the female mermaid for fifty years, guarding the tomb of the last emperor of the Song Dynasty in the depths of the South China Sea.
People will grow old, but mermaids will not. Or rather, her aging is a long process. More than 600 years from the fall of the Song Dynasty to the Republic of China were only six months for her.
How old is she?
The female mermaid dragged him into the water and lay on the bed of red coral—I am afraid that Qin Nianbei made it for his beautiful wife six hundred years ago.
The water was silent, affectionate, her fingernails buckled into the back of Qin Beiyang's neck, speechless and choked......
Does the female mermaid regard him as her husband?
Perhaps, Qin Nianbei's appearance is very similar to Qin Beiyang, a descendant of six hundred years later?
Qin Beiyang felt that she was kissing her neck, and only then did he realize that the pair of antler-shaped birthmarks - every generation of the Qin family's tombsmith clan has hereditary. The same red mark in the same position made her see Qin Beiyang as a lover who was reborn more than six hundred years ago, and returned with the same young body!
He looked back in the water, but he didn't dare to look her eyes.
Because, he saw her desires, the same desires as the women in the world, and suppressed them for a long six hundred years.
The female mermaid shows her lower body, below the waist and above the fishtail, and actually has the same female genitalia as humans.
She can fully mate with men. In the fifty years they have lived with human craftsmen, they have spent a long time of happiness, which makes Qin Nianbei less lonely on the isolated island in the South China Sea.
But perhaps, fifty years, for her, is just a moment.
Qin Beiyang thinks further? The more I think about it, the more evil it becomes—her face, figure, breasts and waist are so perfect in the human world, it's really "a beautiful woman in the South China Sea, peerless and independent." A look at the city. Then look at the country. Rather than know the city and the country, the beauty is hard to get! ”
I wonder if female mermaids can give birth to cross-species mixed-race children? Although this goes against the laws of biology.
In an instant, Qin Beiyang believed in the reins of the horse in his mind, and he actually had a thought - to stay! Just like his ancestors, he guarded the tomb of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, married the female merman, and spent a fairy-like life in the depths of the fairy-like South China Sea. She would catch fish, shrimps, crabs, shells, and seaweed for him, and they would travel the ocean together, from the South China Sea to the Pacific Ocean and even the Atlantic Ocean! Fifty years later, he died in his lover's arms with gray hair, and she was still a beautiful girl.
She continued to kiss his neck, and when Qin Beiyang opened his eyes, he saw the nine-colored dry gaze of the town's tomb beast.
For the sake of the Nine Colors......
Also, Ah Yu on Taibai Mountain, Qin Beiyang warned himself that he couldn't stay!
I'm sorry, Qin Beiyang broke free from the crook of her arm, turned over and jumped out of the dragon bed, and returned to the underground palace wet.
"Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, endure the return of the magpie bridge. If the two love for a long time, how can they be in the morning and twilight? ”
Qin Beiyang said this sentence of "Queqiao Immortal" by Qin Guan, a great lyricist of the Song Dynasty, a popular love poem back then, a popular song of Shuijing Restaurant, Qin Nianbei, who is from the Southern Song Dynasty, may have also sung it to the female mermaid in front of him, right?
She remembered this sentence, and it was also an excuse for men and women to separate—how could it be in the morning and twilight?
The female mermaid nodded sadly, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes again, and turned into shark beads as soon as she touched the air. Qin Beiyang didn't pick it up, and let a series of freshly solidified shark beads, like a pearl necklace with a broken thread, be slowly sucked away by the tunnel leading to the deep sea......
She crawled out of the water with red eyes, picked up a sharp oyster shell, and carved it into the floor tiles of the tomb.
What's going on?
