Chapter 380: The Secret of the Merman

If it is not a mermaid, it comes from the East, then there is only one explanation, the mermaid!

In the ancient Chinese classic "Shan Hai Jing: The Southern Classic of Hai Nei" it records: "Bowu Kingdom, Li Er Kingdom, the country of Diao, and the country of Beiqu are all sunken. Note: Li Er, the ears are divided into two parts to make the ears droop and decorate, which is Dan Er, in the Zhuya Seashore; the name of the carving is to tattoo its face, and the painting is scaled, which is mermaid." The mermaids in the outside are human heads and fish bodies, and fish with four legs. Later they were passed down to Japan and became the most primitive image of mermaids. There are also some descriptions in the Shan Hai Jing that look like a water creature such as mountain pepper fish, giant salamander (giant salamander), eels, catfish, etc. They look like human-shaped, covered with scales, and feel closer to a mixture of humans and animals.

In the "Records of the Grand Historian Volume 6? The Sixth Annals of Qin Shihuang" written by Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty, there is a record of "mermaids", which mentions that "the First Emperor ascended the throne, passed through Lishan Mountain, and merged with the world. The world sent more than 700,000 people, penetrated three springs, and put copper down to form a coffin. The palace and the palace officials were moved to Zang Man. The craftsmen made crossbows and arrows, and those who had penetrated were shot near them. They used mermaids as rivers and seas, and they were instilled with mechanical appearance, with astronomy and geography. The mermaid paste was used as candles, and those who had not died were used for a long time."

The "Collected Explanations" written by Pei Zhi during the Liu Song Dynasty quoted the interpretation of "mermaids" since ancient times as: "Xu Guang said: 'Mermaids are like □, four legs.' Zhengyi Guangzhi said: 'The sound of fish is like a child's crying, with four legs, and shaped like a bird. It can cure cattle and come out of Yishui.' The foreign matter said: 'Mermaids are like human shapes, more than a foot long. They are not worthy of food. The skin is good for marzipan fish, sawn in wood. There are small penetrations on the neck, and the air comes out from it. The tomb of Qin Shihuang used mermaid paste as candles, which is also the fish. It comes out of the East China Sea, and it is now in Taizhou.' Note: Now the emperor uses lacquer lamp tombs, and the fire will not be extinguished." "Bird" is the name of a fish. In today's Yangmingshan National Park, there are still varieties such as "Seven Star Birds" and "Moon Birds" with slippery surfaces and like to live in rivers, ponds or swamps.

But does the mermaid really exist?

"Shan Hai Jing" records the "Lingyu" "Shan Hai Jing? Overseas West Classic" and this fertile wilderness... The dragon fish is located in the north of the fertile land, like a raccoon (carp). This passage says that there is a creature called a dragon fish on the north side of a fertile land, which looks like a carp. "Lingju" means that you can live on land, indicating that this fish is amphibious. Some people think that it is the lingyu mentioned elsewhere in the book, and later the turquoise fish may also refer to this kind of fish. "Shan Hai Jing? Overseas North Classic" Lingyu's human face, hands, feet, and fish body are in the sea. It is described in detail here. Lingyu is a half-human and half-fish posture, with human face and hands and feet, which is different from the mermaid whose lower body is a fish tail in Greek mythology.

The black-scaled mermaid, the legendary "mermaid", has already been discovered in many people in the world. The US Navy has also caught a living ointment. It is said that the mermaid's ointment in the sea has not only low ignition point, but can burn for several months with just one drop. In ancient times, there were often oils used as a lantern in the tombs of nobles.

The East China Sea mermaids have the most silver surname and are bloodthirsty. They all live under an island formed by dead corals in the sea. The coral caves under the island are intertwined and crisscrossed. It is unknown where the mermaids are old nests. They make sounds in the nearby waters and attract passers-by. All the victims are eaten to the point of being left. Someone caught the living black-scale mermaids, slaughtered and dried, poured them into a candle of longevity, worth three thousand gold beads.

Legends are still legends. No media can confirm them, nor has the official announcement that mermaids really exist. However, Qin Xuebing believed that there are some secret techniques of Qimen passed down from jade pens that are specifically used to deal with mermaids. I believe that the senior Qimen will not be bored to create the secret techniques of Qimen to deal with legendary species.

Then there is only one explanation, mermaids really exist!

"What do they say?" Qin Xuebing asked. Perhaps Fan Deming and Witt would know something, otherwise they would not be involved in this matter.

"Van De knew something clearly..." Xiangxi said the result of their forced questioning. It was indeed a legend about the mermaids.

Mermaids lived in an overseas island in the era. No one knew where this island was. Those who had been there were dead. Mermaids were also a clan who was good at using magnetic fields. They could make the crew members who went to sea hallucinate, and then dig a ship to kill people and collect treasures.

Ancient emperors all knew the uses of mermaids. They could use mermaids to make oil ointments. This ointment can be ignited and burned for a long time in a small amount. It has a faint fragrance and is loved by ancient emperors. Even after death, they would store mermaid ointments in the tombs and light a ten thousand-year-old lamp.

Mermaids were bloodthirsty and cruel. Ancient emperors were fond of mermaid ointment again, so they were doomed to the demise of the mermaid clan. As for how to perish, it remains to be verified. After all, mermaids are good at water, lived in water in the era, and were good at using magnetic fields. It was too difficult for ancient emperors to destroy this race, and it was simply impossible.

"It should be the Qimen people involved!" Qin Xuebing sighed. The Qimen secret techniques used to deal with mermaids were probably created by Qimen people who were worshipped in the palace, helping ancient emperors to effectively obtain the mermaid ointment.

"Are you sorry that the people in the ancient Qimen were too vicious?" Xiangxi frowned. After entering the special agent team for so long, she no longer took her surname seriously, especially the enemy's.

"I just blame the ancient people for doing too ruthlessly that it was difficult for future generations to see the mermaids." Qin Xuebing would not think that the ancient people in the Qimen were too cruel. After all, the mermaids were cruel. They killed countless innocent crew members and were killed by humans for their own sake. They could only say that one reward was repaid and the other was repaid.

What's more, those people in the ancient Qimen who worshipped in the palace were correct, and the matter of eating the king's fortune and loyalty to the king. In modern terms, it is: the butt determines the head.

"Don't think about these things for now, the boss hasn't woken up yet." Ye Qiong snorted dissatisfied. She was too lazy to care about the life and death of the mermaids. Even if the mermaids were exterminated ten times, it had nothing to do with her. She just wanted the beautiful snake to wake up now.

"This statue should be used by people from the ancient Qimen to deal with mermaids. There should be many secrets here, but they were sealed by curses. The beautiful snake should have triggered the curse, and was unconscious only after being cursed by the ancient Qimen people." Qin Xuebing explained.

"Curse, can you deal with it?" Ye Qiong gritted her teeth. She had to deal with it even if she could not deal with it. She didn't care about so many problems. These problems should be a headache for Qin Xuebing. Who made him have that kind of relationship?

"Don't worry, if this stone sculpture is still there, you will definitely be able to find the curse method."

Qin Xuebing was no longer worried at this time, and he had a way to deal with it: "Maybe he could dig out the real secret of the stone carvings and go to the Mermaid Kingdom to experience it."
