The strange fish let out a few sneering cries in the raging flames, and then fell. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The other strange fish didn't seem to understand what was going on, and they were all still in place, but they didn't mean to continue approaching me, and it suddenly occurred to me that these strange fish might have stayed underground for a long time, and if their eyes degenerated, they should not be able to see, and they could only rely on their breath to say goodbye or communicate.
The one who just did the striker may be the head, and without the next instructions, these strange fish are instantly leaderless, so they can only wait on the spot.
Sure enough, it is the first to shoot the horse when the man is shot, and the first to capture the king when the thief is captured.
When I found that I had a weapon, I felt a lot more at ease in my heart, and my courage gradually increased. I began to turn against the customer, and took the initiative to approach several other strange fish, I held my breath until I moved to a certain distance, and then pressed the lighter to spray it, and I was unprepared to attack it.
This trick worked, and there were several more fireballs around at once. My confidence was boosted, and I walked to the last strange fish. I didn't care whether I could hold my breath anymore, and said that if the strange fish had its companions, it would have come out to the rescue a long time ago, how could I wait until now, looking at the situation in front of me, it must be no fun, and I was bold and determined that only me and the strange fish were left at this moment.
The strange fish also seemed to understand his situation and began to retreat.
I saw the strange fish take a few steps back, I was quite proud, but my mind suddenly flashed, no! This strange fish was obviously still standing still just now, how could it suddenly retreat? Could it be that it has other plans?
This thought made my heart alarm bells, and I said that I can't underestimate the IQ of these strange fish, and I was able to set up a game to outflank me just now, how could I suddenly retreat? There must be quirkiness.
I made my head, and quickly glanced at the sides out of the corner of my eye, except for a few fireballs that were getting smaller and smaller, and the only thing strange was fixed in the area where I couldn't see.
I tried my best to suppress my fears, and my pride was gone, and I was only worried about what was happening behind me.
The heart is churning, in the end, do you want to take care of the front? Or is it a matter of care?
I gritted my teeth and decided to look back.
As I turned around, the strange fish in front of me suddenly launched an attack and pounced on me.
Depend on! This fish has a mind, first made a fake move to make me suspicious, took advantage of the weakness of human nature, and attacked me when I turned back.
I immediately raised the lighter and hairspray and sprayed it at the strange fish, but the damn hairspray was gone, and I shook the hairspray a few times in a panic to make sure it was really gone, and all I was holding in my hand was an empty jar. Originally, the strange fish was still a little scared, and retreated several steps in a row. Seeing that I was suddenly unarmed, he became arrogant, poked out his spine-like hyoid bone, and rushed at me with a snort.
I thought the strange fish would attack me with my tongue bone and stab me all over my body. As the so-called Hades wants you to die in the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch? Without weapons, I froze in place, and I wanted to come! His eyes were so frightened that he didn't even dare to blink.
At this moment, two shadows suddenly appeared in front of him, Ziche and Qiancai.
They killed like twins, and both of them bent their elbows at the same time, knocking the strange fish back several feet, and the strange fish turned around on the ground a few times, and pounced again, and then they pulled out the dagger at their waists, kicked on the strange fish, jumped up, stabbed the dagger into its back and slashed down, and with a bang, the strange fish was instantly cut into two sections from the middle.
The movements of Ziche and Qianyu were uniform, as if they had been rehearsed in advance, and the whole counterattack was completed in one go.
Isn't this a movie that only comes in? How could it be moved alive in front of me, I was stunned when I saw that they solved it so easily.
Qian Yao looked at the fireballs around him, smiled at me, and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite good at it."
I was stunned and a little annoyed and said, "Where have you been? Is there anyone like you? Deadlift people down and leave them alone."
「Sorry! Sorry! I'm looking for the mark left by Feng Xin, and I'll forget you for a while." She playfully stuck out her tongue, a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the ruthlessness just now.
After listening to Qian's words, I turned my face like a car to see what he could say.
He put away his dagger and walked in front of me, lifted my chin to examine it for a moment, and said, "It's good that my face hasn't been broken."
"What?"
"What about you?" He turned to Humility, "How's it going?" He ignored my question, and took it upon himself to talk to Qianyu.
"It's a little weird, I didn't notice it." She shrugged.
Here they are again, and these two people are talking about things I don't understand, and the inexplicable sense of estrangement is very uncomfortable. "Can anyone tell me what's going on, what's going on? And what kind of fish is that weird fish?" I asked angrily.
Ziche glanced at me and kicked the fish corpse at his feet, "This is Nuwa, in ancient times it was called a mermaid, which is what Western countries call mermaids."
In an instant, five thunderbolts thundered, and my facial features were all tangled together, looking at the fish corpse covered with disgusting black whiskers and flowing with weird juice, no matter how it looked, it didn't look like Ariel (the name of the cartoon little mermaid), "Don't bewitch the public, what do you say this thing is? Nu wa? Merfolk?" I really can't accept that. In my impression, whether it is Nuwa or a mermaid or something, they are all beautiful, the point is that they are all in good shape, and the fish body with scales is colorful and very beautiful. I can't even think about this disgusting thing.
"Female ...... Wa is the body of a snake, and the mermaid is the body of a fish, don't ...... Fool people." I don't know why I stuttered a little.
He smiled and went around to the tail of the fish carcass, cut off the tail, and asked me, "What do you think is a fish or a snake now?"
The tail of the strange fish was very long, a bit like a lizard and a sea snake, and after removing the tail of the fish, it really couldn't tell whether it was a snake or a fish at first glance.
Seeing that I couldn't come up with a reason, Ziche said slowly, "This is actually a convention of human life."
The so-called Nuwa is actually a merman who lived at the bottom of the sea in ancient times, an amphibian creature that lives along the coast in a relatively damp cave by the sea. However, with the change of the earth's crust, more and more land has been pushed away from the sea, and the habitat environment has also changed, so the life style and body structure of the mermaid have gradually separated into three types.
One is to continue to live on the bottom of the sea, and in modern times it is called a group of mermaids, but there are not many mermaids who continue to live in the sea. The other is a group of people who are off the sea and land, and the tails and fins of the fish gradually degenerate in order to adapt to life on land, and become the Nuwa tribe with a snake body.
And the third type is human beings.
Humans can be said to have evolved from genetic mutations in the Nuwa family, and under accidental mutations, species with two tails are more adaptable, move faster, and live a wider range than those with one tail. Under the natural selection and survival of the fittest, the Nuwa clan gradually disappeared after the rise of human beings, that is, extinction. Therefore, in ancient times, there was a legend of Nuwa creating a man. It's just that in ancient times, there was no writing, only fragments of murals and symbols instead of records, and it is normal for there to be some misinformation, and all historical evolution is passed down by word of mouth, from generation to generation. And these legends became unexaminable after later generations painted snakes.
Conventionality refers to the name of things, the logic of language, or social customs, etc., which are determined by people's long-term lifestyles. It's the same as when our parents tell us their names, and we don't specifically ask our grandparents why they give them such names.
The predecessors said that Nuwa is a human-faced snake, and that Nuwa can make up for the sky and create people, but because it cannot be examined, this legend has gradually become a convention, which has fixed our thinking, thinking that Nuwa is a human-faced snake body, and a merman is a human-faced fish body.
I listened to it ignorantly, and I seemed to think it was reasonable but unbelievable, after all, these things overturned my original perception too much, and it was difficult to accept it for a while. According to this inference, the ancient Yellow Emperor's sacrifice to Nuwa was regarded as worshipping gods or ancestors?
I half-convinced, "How do you know these things?" In other words, this question is the point, and there must be a basis for talking about a bunch of things.
"Maybe some things are just legends in modern times. But centuries ago, these things weren't necessarily just legends."
Ziche looked at the fish corpse with a heavy expression, and he couldn't see his true emotions clearly. Quite lively outside the cave, but now he's so serious, hot and cold, like a dual personality, I can guarantee that he must be a Gemini.
