Chapter 39: The City of Peace

Ping'an City, like the ancient cities of the East, is brilliant and generous, with a brightly lit appearance, and it is quite beautiful in this dark deep sea. The silhouette of the city is square, without the slightest hint of a western city. The house is paved with oriental glazed tiles, and the height is also three or four floors. At some key points of the city wall, you can also see oriental-style watchtowers, on which stands a mermaid soldier with a speargun.

Inside Heian City, hundreds of thick green tree trunks stretched out above the city, covering the entire city under a lush foliage. The fruits on the branches of the trees glow with bursts of white light during the day, and tens of thousands of glowing fruits gather together, and the entire Heian Castle and the surrounding area can be illuminated into daylight in an instant. However, it was already evening, and the light of those fruits was gradually fading, and the city of Heian Castle was full of lights and candles at this time.

Outside Heian Castle, a huge bubble covered the top of the forest inside Heian Castle, enveloping the entire city. You Lile couldn't help but look at this big bubble with a little surprise, and Yu Qian next to him pointed to the "swimming ring" on You Lile's stomach and said: "It's the same as this thing, it can create a layer of bubbles that isolate the seawater, and these are all made by that green stem forest." And this circle on your belly is called the 'green stem fruit', which is the fruit of this tree. When the fruit is not ripe, it glows with a strong white light during the day, illuminating the entire city as if it were daytime. At night, they go to sleep, replenish their energy, and continue to be energetic and serve as a guiding light during the day. However, when it matures, it will fall from the tree and become a ring-shaped shape that can be worn over the body. If you leave the bubble created by the Green Stem Forest, it will create a survival bubble in the sea that envelops people and isolates them from the sea. ”

Yu Lile and Renee were surprised for a while, and it seemed that they had discovered another alien black technology that could allow earthlings to enter the bottom of the sea. You Lile decided that if he could go back, he would definitely report the matter to the higher-ups.

Yu Qian covered his mouth and smiled at this time, and then took out a green stem fruit and put it around his waist, and then pinched the green stem fruit, and then the green stem fruit released a small bubble, wrapping the entire green stem fruit, like a bubble swimming ring. At this time, Yu Qian entered the huge bubble in Ping'an City, and she herself did not conjure her legs to walk on the land as You Lile imagined, but shook the tail of the fish, leaned on the bubble on her waist, and suspended on the ground 20 centimeters above the ground.

Looking at Yu Lile and Renee's surprised looks, Yu Qian explained: "This thing, when it is on land, it can also lift people, but it is not too high, not more than half a meter." Come on in. ”

As he spoke, the soldiers of the Dragon Palace Kingdom also put on the green stem fruit and took the two of them from the giraffe-like seahorse.

When the two of them stood firmly on the ground, after confirming that this was the ground, they felt the reality of the ground, and then returned the green stem fruit on their waists to the Dragon Palace soldiers who "protected" them.

At this time, a group of soldiers wearing oriental-style ancient armor swam over quickly with spearguns in their hands and swaying their fishtails wearing green stem fruits. After seeing Yu Qian, he quickly wagged his tail and saluted, "Lord Priest, you are back so soon?" ”

Yu Qian smiled lightly: "Luckily, I met two aliens as soon as I arrived on the sea, so I came back quickly." I was going to sneak into Honoya to 'please' a few back, but it doesn't seem to be so much effort. ”

The leader of the group of soldiers said, "Priest, thank you for your hard work. ”

You Lile naturally didn't know what these people were babbling about, but after a while, a huge red sedan chair on his back, like a sea turtle the size of a bus, slowly swam over with a green stem fruit around his waist. Yu Qian came to the two of them and said, "Please wait a moment. ”

"Uh, okay."

As he spoke, he turned around and touched the turtle's head, the turtle stretched out its front fin, gently held it, and Yu Qian stepped on it and stepped on the big sedan chair on the turtle's back. After a while, when the orange curtain of the big sedan chair was opened, I saw that Yu Qian had changed into a blue neon feather coat and slowly swam out of the sedan chair, and landed in front of You Lile and Renee, like a fairy coming down from the sky, looking extremely elegant, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting." Because the outfit just now is the one that we merfolk only wear when we go out to sea, so it is convenient to move in the sea. And this dress can't be used in the sea, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to get wet all over the bubble. ”

Renee held Yu Lile's hand tightly, Yu Lile grinned and said, "Well, it's okay. ”

Yu Qian said at this time: "Two, please get on the sedan chair, His Majesty the King wants to meet the two." ”

Yu Lile and Renee glanced at each other, Yu Lile knew whether it was a blessing or a curse, and that it was a disaster that could not be avoided, so he nodded from Renee and said, "Let's go, let's go see their King Majesty." Immediately afterward, Yu Lile took the front fin of the large sea turtle that Renee stepped on, got into the sedan chair, and Yu Qian followed closely behind. When the two of them sat down, the turtle also moved, and slowly swam towards the city with the sedan chair.

You Lile gently opened the orange curtain of the sedan chair and looked at the street scene in Ping'an City, except for those words that he didn't know, the rest were exactly the same as in ancient China. Look at the mermaids on the street who are in a hurry and have different expressions, dressed in ancient oriental costumes, Hanbok and kimono are everywhere here. The whole city is like a hodgepodge of ancient civilizations in the East, which gives You Lile the illusion of traveling back to ancient times for a while.

Some of the men and women on the streets float in the air wearing green stem fruits. Some turned their fish tails into legs, while others laughed and walked the streets with their companions.

It was already nightfall, and the light of the green stem fruit was dimmed, and the liquor shops and inns on both sides of the street lit up the lanterns hanging at the doors. The diners in the restaurant were shouting in groups, and the plates of dishes on the table looked delicious, poured a glass of wine, and rowed a fist that You Lile couldn't understand, and ate to the fullest. And in those bright places, the mermaid girls on the second and third floors also waved the handkerchiefs in their hands, beckoning and shouting to the pedestrians below, as if they were beckoning with a sweet voice: "Little brother, come and drink a few glasses inside, the sister paper here is the most well-behaved, and we can do everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, we are the best spring building in the capital." ”

Seeing You Lile looking at the place where the lights were bright and green, Yu Qian's cheeks flushed slightly, and then he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, two, because this is a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years, although it can't be on the stage, but we can't change it, we can only turn a blind eye." ”

Well, it seems that something like a brothel is not recognized anywhere. After Yu Qian saw that You Lile didn't pay attention to the Fengyue place anymore, he said, "Two, we are about to enter the palace." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yu Lile saw a huge palace appear in front of the turtle through the window. A celebrity fish warrior clad in armor and holding a speargun tightly in his hand, staring warily at anyone, including the turtle carrying Yuller and Renee.

Although the palace looks shocking at first, it is still far from the large buildings in China, probably only a quarter of the size of the Forbidden City.

At this time, the turtle stopped, and a soldier swam over and shouted, "The palace is important! Please show your identity! ”

Yu Qian opened the curtain, then took out a token made of wood, handed it to the soldier, and said, "In the name of Your Majesty, please invite two aliens to learn about Joey Boy!" ”

The soldier glanced at it, and then after confirming that Yu Qian was right, he handed the token back to Yu Qian, quickly gave up, twisted the tail of the fish, and saluted: "Lord Priest, act impartially, don't be surprised, please come in!" ”

Yu Qian shouted: "Go!" Then the whole turtle moved again, heading towards the depths of the palace.
