Chapter 194: Mask
If these tear pearls had come from somewhere else, and someone had told me they were mermaid tears, I promised to squirt them in the face, saying they were.
But there is a real mermaid corpse lying underneath, and with the shape of this tear, someone told me not to get excited, these seven pearls are just ordinary pearls, and that's the same as.
Now the answer is a bit out of the blue, and what is in the hands of the tiger spirit is the tears of the mermaid.
I don't dare to value these seven tears for the time being, because there has never been a mermaid's tears before, but now that we have found them, we have to check whether the legend of this mermaid's tearful eyes is true.
In other words, if the legend of mermaid tears is true, and these tears have a special use, then I dare to guarantee that each of these seven can be auctioned for a sky-high price, a real sky-high price!
Among the Pirates of the Caribbean, there is a story about mermaid tears, and according to legend, as long as you get the mermaid's tears and drink them in the Holy Grail mixed with the water from the Fountain of Youth, you can live forever.
Another legend is that when the merman is sad and crying, the tears that roll down are beautiful pearls, in fact, they are the crystallization of the tears that flow out of the merman's crying, because of the composition of the merman's body fluids, so they will quickly condense in the water and air after leaving the body.
When the mermaid is on land, it often weeps because of the physiological reason that it cannot touch the water. The tears of the vast majority of mermaids are fragile and colorless, and are worthless.
However, in some cases, such as the power of the stars or the influence of a special constitution and mental state at that time, there is a 1 in 10,000 chance that it may condense into a pearl-like treasure that is not fragile and glows, so the merman himself is also regarded as a gift from God, and it is said that the merman pearl can improve the spirituality of people to sense nature.
Legend has it that when the shark cries on the night of the full moon, the shark beads that roll down are particularly round; And when the moon is missing a corner, the mermaid bead is also strangely shaped, which may be an example of the influence of the stars on the merman with the corresponding physique.
After Hu Ling wiped the shark beads with a cloth, he held the lamp and illuminated it, and the translucent shark beads refracted a touch of smart light, and then handed the seven shark beads to Mao Sanzhi.
This kind of baby, even if it is the first time to see Mao Sandia, but the psychological quality is there, Taishan presses the temperament of the top surface and does not change color, Mao Sanzhi is naturally not lacking, and took the shark bead handed over by Hu Ling, and took out one and studied it carefully.
Of course, I couldn't help but be curious, and I didn't have anything to be polite to my third brother, so I walked over and took one out of Mao San's hand to take a look, Mao Sanzhi glared at me, I ignored him, and my mind was completely attracted by this shark bead.
Looking at the shark beads pinched by the thumb and index finger, I found that the feel of the shark beads is very round and smooth, and there is actually a trace of warmth on it, which feels similar to the temperature of the skin, which is a very peculiar feel.
I pinched the shark beads, so I put the shark beads in front of my nose and smelled them, there was no smell, I felt very clean, fortunately, I am not a fat man, otherwise I may stick out my tongue and lick it, feel what the shark beads taste.
I didn't see the reason for watching it for a long time, but I believe that there must be people in this world who know how to use this shark bead, anyway, I don't know it now, so I put the shark bead on Mao Sandiao's hand again.
The mermaid in the coffin was still lying there quietly, and I couldn't help but look at it a few more times, after all, this picture is rare for a man.
This mermaid is actually just a look, after all, I don't have any other habits, I held a flashlight and shone it again, in addition to the seven shark beads, the rest is only the mermaid's corpse, the corpse is very well preserved, it seems that this light red liquid has a strong special effect of preserving the corpse.
Legend has it that the life span of the mermaid is very long, because there is no soul, so it can live for a long time, I look at the mermaid lying in it, I feel a little pity, this mermaid is not injured, it is likely to be drowned when he is alive......
Suddenly, I realized that it should be impossible for this mermaid to drown, so the mermaid in this water, I always feel that there is still a possibility of living, after all, in this light red liquid, it is not a human being who is lying down, but a mermaid who can live in the water, so it is completely possible to be like Princess Miaoyue, who has just been asleep and taken immortal medicine and something like that.
Although I think so in my head, I don't know if the mermaid in it is alive or dead, after all, Princess Miaoyue that time, I woke up after licking it, if I am asked to climb into the water to lick this mermaid, then I won't do it, if the fat man is here, I can still fool him to try, but now the conditions don't allow it, so I can only do fantasy, and there is no way to experiment with my own ideas.
Holding up the flashlight and shining it up, I found that the mermaid's face was wearing a very small mask, which was not big, but the eyes and nose were covered, and the mouth was exposed.
In fact, in the domestic burial customs, there is a custom of covering the face of the deceased, which seems to be common all over the world, and in China, it is also exquisite.
Generally, a yellow cloth will be covered on the corpse, which means that part of it is to prevent the living from seeing it, after all, the faces of dead people are very hideous, especially the kind of people who die horizontally, such as car accidents and the like, even if the face is not disfigured, the despair when dying is unbearable for ordinary people.
Especially children, if they see the face of the deceased, it is quite unlucky, not only to leave a shadow in the child's heart, but also many strange things in metaphysics will catch up.
This second layer of meaning belongs to customs and traditions, some superstitious meanings, covering a yellow cloth, means covering the stupid things that the deceased did before his death, just to cast a good baby or something in the next life, but this kind of thing is definitely not something that a yellow cloth can cover.
This piece of yellow cloth is only for the common people, for some princes, generals, dignitaries and the like, a more valuable thing will be chosen, that is, masks.
The masks worn by the deceased are quite a lot according to their different identities and economic status, but in a nutshell, the richer the person dies, the more valuable the mask is, and in terms of size, the female is much more delicate, and the male will generally cover the entire face, and will not show his mouth like the mask caught by the mermaid.
This kind of masked burial custom can only exist in the south, and it is not popular to wear masks in the north, but it cannot be absolute, after all, although the place of the tomb can be determined, but whether the people buried in the tomb belong to the south or the north is a thing that cannot be verified, but there are people wearing hats in the north, just like the Temujin hat taken away by Cao Bingyan, just a hat can build a doubtful tomb, killing many tomb robbers.
