Murphy said with a smile, "Qianlong , this is the country of daughters that men dream of, do you regret pretending to be a woman?"

"Otherwise, with your appearance, you will definitely be more popular than Chen Yuanbiao. It's not like now, it's a little transparent, and almost no one cares about it."

I glanced at Chen Yuanbiao with pity and didn't answer.

After walking along the mountain road for about ten miles, you came to a huge and empty cave.

The walls inside the cave are inlaid with moonstones.

The glowing stones illuminate the cave like daylight.

Ryoko Kawashima pointed to the murals on both sides of the wall, "Everyone, please see, this is the origin and development history of our mermaid clan, which has been engraved piece by piece for thousands of years."

"The lifespan of the merfolk is about a thousand years."

"There are a total of fifteen murals here, which means that we merfolk have experienced about 15,000 years."

At first, I didn't believe what Ryoko Kawashima said, and I thought there was an element of bragging.

But after a closer look at the mural, it was a deep shock!

In Kawashima Ryoko's words, there are not many exaggerated elements, and it has really been passed down here for about 10,000 years!

As for the age judgment, I can judge it from the degree of oxidation of the carved marks on the stone wall.

In the first mural, the lines are particularly coarse.

I can vaguely see the lines in the painting, the sea and the beach, a group of monkeys squatting in the sand, and another group of monkeys running in the direction of the land.

The content depicted in the mural probably says that thousands of years ago, the ancestors of these apes developed two different methods of evolution.

One way to evolve is to choose to walk upright on land, just like modern humans.

The other part went to the deep sea, and the lower limbs gradually degenerated, turning into the shape of a mermaid.

From the evolutionary process, it can be seen that these merfolk are still terrestrial creatures, and they are mammals.

Mammals, such as dolphins, can't stay underwater for long.

Once you stay underwater for a long time, you will drown.

The second picture, the traces of oxidation in the stone crevices, is really about a thousand years less than the first.

In the second picture, a group of people standing on an island with their legs glued together to form the shape of the original fishtail.

In the third picture, the tail of the fish gradually grows scales......

There are twelve drawings in total, and I can understand the first ten pictures.

The first 10 pictures roughly depict the process of returning to the water from the shore and adapting to life in the water, and evolving into the current form.

As for the eleventh picture, I don't understand it.

In the eleventh picture, a large ship is docked on the seashore, and the people of the sea take out something like a seal and face a huge island.

I looked at it for a while, only to notice that the pattern on the seal seemed to look a little like Pixiu.

Is this a Pixiu seal?

I understand that the person on the big ship may be Zheng He.

The Pixiu Seal was Zheng He's magic weapon, and he collected the seawater along with the entire island into the Pixiu Seal and transported it back to the barren Ulan Le League.

And the twelfth picture actually depicts a man in a python robe, standing above the lake, holding a long knife in his hand, glaring angrily at the bottom of the lake, and slapping it with one palm!

The sky of Zar Lake has collapsed, yellow sand has covered all sides, and the island has sunk.

Seeing this, there is no image.

I pointed to the last picture and exclaimed, "Miss Ryoko Kawashima, what does this picture mean!?"

Zarhu looked at him vigilantly, "Why, Mr. Zhuge is very interested in our history?"

I was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm really interested. I am a craftsman of stone carving, and I am amazed at the skill of this twelfth picture."

Hearing my explanation, the look of vigilance in Kawashima's eyes disappeared, and she said calmly, "I don't know the origin of the twelfth picture."

"Still, this picture is

Our current patriarch drew it by hand, and if you are interested, you can go back and ask for yourself."

I nodded and didn't speak.

The carving of this mural seems to be thick and shallow, but in fact, every stroke is extraordinarily fine.

For example, the knife that slashed at the Char Lake was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with two blades, and the position of the handle was a Kunpeng with angry eyes.

Kunpeng feeds on dragons, and the owner of this knife is none other than Qingtian Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty.

This Liu Bowen cut off the dragon veins in the world, and after his death, this knife belongs to my family, that is, the thousand-year-old wrought iron knife that my grandfather is using now.

If it weren't for the family heirloom, it would be difficult for me to see the clue from the thick and shallow lines.

It seems that after Zheng He placed the mermaid clan in Zar Lake, he angered the royal family for some reason.

And Liu Bowen acted for the royal family, so he went down with a knife and cut it into the ground.

What did the mermaid clan do that made the royal family angry at that time and sent Liu Bowen to do this?

If you think about it carefully, the emperor of that year was a beggar Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in the people, so he paid special attention to cultivating and living with the people.

My guess is that the merfolk may have plagued many people to cause the wrath of the dynasty......

While I was pondering, Chen Yuanbiao was impatient, "Sister Kawashima, this grotto is nothing to see, why don't you take me to sit at home?"

Kawashima Yoshiko smiled and said, "Okay, the patriarch has arranged a house for you, with all kinds of melons, fruits and refreshments, please come with me."

Damn, I haven't finished researching yet!

I glared at Chen Yuanbiao with some unhappiness, I knew that if this was the case, I wouldn't have brought this guy here.

We followed the woman down the hill to a three-story wooden house with a luxurious floor.

The wooden house is carbonized and coated with an antiseptic layer, and the carvings on the top are particularly beautiful, and the mortise and tenon structure is a perfect fit.

The location of the building is ventilated on three sides, and when we entered, we felt cool and comfortable.

Flower pots were placed on the balcony, and there were two beautiful young girls in the room, kneeling on the ground and wiping the floor with a rag.

The water used to wash the rags in the bucket was floating with fragrant petals.

This treatment is really good.

Soon, the maid brought tea and pastries that resembled flower cakes.

"Distinguished guests, please use it."

Murphy swallowed, "I've starved to death after eating all the way to dry food instant noodles......

But as soon as her hand was halfway out, she was intercepted by Ryoko Kawashima.

Kawashima Ryoko said in a stiff tone: "Two, this is for the first-class distinguished guest Chen Yuanbiao, you are women, and there are other arrangements."

Murphy was a little depressed and had to go out with me.

Before going out, Chen Yuanbiao did not forget to shout to Murphy, "Miss Mo, do you want to live with me?"

Chen Yuanbiao has forgotten what happened with us, and he can still have an eye for Murphy, which shows that he fell in love at first sight.

And Murphy's anger burst out at this moment.

"Are you being held by a few women with stinky feet, and you feel that all the women in the world have to revolve around you!?"
