The Tengu Tomb is located in the realm of life and death, isolated from the world. However, the visions there will still have a certain degree of impact on the outside world. Xie Zhe and the others did not know the consequences of their actions in the Tengu Tomb. But they'll find out soon enough. Until then, two girls have done enough work.
Strangely enough, after Jiao Mo helped Wenying slowly go down the mountain, the uncomfortable feeling completely disappeared. Wenying was really healed of the scar and forgot about the pain. As soon as she regained her energy, she wanted to try going up the mountain again. Jiao Mo knew that she would not give up, so she followed behind. As a result, she became dizzy again not long after she stayed in the thickening fog. In the end, she gave in and went down the mountain honestly.
Wenying originally thought that the so-called evacuation of the villagers when necessary was only a very small possibility, but what she didn't expect was that a strange phenomenon occurred not long after. What she was afraid of was not the trouble she would encounter in this world, but the fear that her brother and the others might encounter something unexpected there. Although the dust in the direction of Eclipse Mountain has dispersed, the sky that should have been pale has become extremely magnificent, so beautiful that it is frightening. Weird ripples appeared on the horizon, like waves blown by the wind, which were cut away layer by layer to reveal different colors. But the scenery is unappreciable. The calm Jiao Mo quickly reacted and took her along to persuade the villagers.
Of course...the ones left behind are just old stubborns, and no one listens to them.
"Other villages are probably out of control. At least there are eight old people here, and three of them are blind!" Wenying complained with a gloomy face, "And half of them are deaf, and they don't even listen to us!"
"Everyone thinks this is no different from before, just let it go..." Jiao Mo was also worried. She looked at the colors spreading around Mount Eclipse, and her uneasiness increased. "But this time it's different. Only we know."
In the center pointed at the top of the mountain, there is some force spreading layer by layer, and it can be seen that it is the source of the abnormality. They could still see the clouds, but they seemed to be covered with tar. They were dark and looked very heavy. They were stacked together, and occasionally sparks of thunder and lightning flashed inside, and the sound was duller and longer than ordinary thunder. If it starts to rain, I'm afraid it's not hard to imagine what color it will be. Such clouds blocked part of the beautiful sky, making the scene even more bizarre.
"What should I do...I can't even do the tasks my brothers and others have given me."
Wenying felt discouraged, Jiaomo really didn't want to see her like this. She knew very well that Han Sheng and the others were just talking, but in her heart she wanted Wenying to ensure her safety. But she was worried that telling Wenying so bluntly would go against her kind intentions and change their image in Wenying's heart. Jiao Mo pondered for a long time and finally said:
"Maybe - I have an idea."
Wenying looked at her eagerly as if grasping a life-saving straw.
"What can I do? Tell me quickly!"
"I'm just guessing, not sure if it will work. You should have heard rumors like this: a ship sailing on the sea heard a song from an unknown source, became obsessed with it, and eventually hit a rock and sank. People say it was a shark from the sea. Human singing. There are many evil-minded guys among the mermaids who want to attract attention and kill humans in order to get the goods on the ship."
"Well, I don't seem to have heard such negative legends..."
"For a while, this statement was very popular in some places." Jiao Mo said seriously, "That was a reason made up by the guys who were in the shark business to justify their evil deeds. Even if it is true. This kind of thing is also the revenge of the sharks. They treated my kindred so cruelly, and they also gave themselves a reputation of doing harm to the people, so that the gentlemen who spend money can feel at ease... However, in fact, they know in their hearts You know, this rumor is just to deceive the common people at the bottom. Although this kind of thing has never happened, in the beginning, it was just the sharks singing their own songs and not paying attention to the boats on the sea. It was humans who cared too much. It leads to a tragedy. Of course, there are also many people who have lost their goods and shirk their responsibility, or simply withhold their property privately and put the blame on us."
"There is something so outrageous!"
"Such a saying is no longer popular now - people are no longer so easy to deceive, and sharks are not easy to find anymore. But what I want to say is the singing voice of the shark. The voice of the shark can only be emitted under the sea, and other The way and techniques of vocalization are also very different from humans. In addition to the beautiful timbre, this voice does convey a breathtaking magic to humans. Such singing can directly touch the human soul without using ears. Go and listen..."
"I understand what you mean!" Wenying was a little excited, "I also want to hear you show off your singing voice."
"...It's just that it took me a lot of effort to make a sound on land. I don't know if a song like this is useful."
"How will you know if you don't try?"
"Huh... that's true." Just when he decided to try, Jiao Mo showed a worried look and said, "But most of those old people have limited legs and feet, even if this sound has an effect..."
Wenying shook her head and said: "I'm afraid it's not easy for them to leave the house. After all, no one is really paralyzed in bed. The young people have been away for so many days. If anyone really didn't eat or drink, they would have died of hunger long ago. We have also seen it , the remaining old people walking on crutches can walk very neatly, don’t they?”
"Um……"
Jiao Mo sighed softly and comforted himself: This is the only way. She cleared her throat and closed her eyes, trying to find the feeling she had before. It's true that she hasn't sung for a long time. She is also not the best singer among her kind. Just like humans, each shark has its own strengths. There are those who sing well, those who are proficient in weaving, those who are brave and good at fighting, those who have an excellent sense of direction, and those who are sensitive to temperature and sea currents... But she herself does not seem to be the most proficient in anything. If we had to give her an award for the lunatic who had the courage to cut off his tail to test the legend, she would be the deserving number one.
Can't think about these insignificant things... She persuaded herself in her heart, while looking for the feeling of singing in the water. She could easily recall the time when she swam in the deep sea. After all, she had lived like that for thousands of years, and a mere ten years in the human world was not enough for her to forget these memories in her bones. Soon, she felt herself becoming very light, as if she was swaying in the water. The wind gently blew over her gills, her fins, her long hair, clothes, and beautiful tail like an ocean current. It was as if there was really warm water passing through the throat and filtering out from under the long-lost gills. At the same time, the place called "Dan Tian" by humans seemed to have an extra heart and began to tremble slightly.
She opened her thin lips lightly, and it was not difficult to pour out a melody like fairy music.
She knew that she was not the best singer among her kind, but she learned more songs from her grandmother than anyone else. This is one of them, with no lyrics, only rhymes - all the songs of the sharks are like this, only rarely with words, and it is in the shark's own language. They believe that although words can convey meaning to a certain extent, they cannot fully convey feelings. This may be related to the fact that there is no culture in the sea that uses pen and paper to record information. And the rhythm and melody of these songs can indeed express much more meaning and emotion than words... at least to the sharks. The song was very soft, but Wenying clearly felt that the moment it sounded, everything was silent.
This voice is melodious, soft and ethereal, and it can capture people's hearts even without any accompaniment. Rather, it is not worthy of any form of accompaniment. It was intended to be a solo from the moment it was created. This song seems to have a picture, and this picture is exactly what it wants to show. Although there were mountains in front of her, Wenying could clearly see the vast sea and the warm setting sun on the horizon, like ripe fruits slowly melting in autumn, flowing a sweetness into the ocean. There is a thin layer of gold floating on the sea surface, which seems to exude a sweet aroma, even a little intoxicating. The picture is so peaceful and quiet, without any shadow of life. At this time, even a fish jumping out of the sea or a seagull flying across the sky will destroy this gentle beauty.
The singing really reaches people's hearts.
Even the old people who could neither see nor hear walked out of their homes step by step on crutches and moved towards the safe open space where they were. They couldn't see the sky polluted by the spiritual current, nor could they hear the terrible muffled sounds from time to time. In their eyes and ears, there is only the peace they long for. The sea is indeed all-inclusive, and the life on land that originated here must also be impressed by its original maternal charm at this moment.
Although Wenying was a monster and was immune to the magic of this voice to a certain extent, she was really moved by the soft singing. The performance of any musical instrument she had ever heard in the world could not compare to this melodious singing. She even suspected that even people who had never seen the sea since birth would have the same picture after listening to this song. She also closed her eyes and saw how quiet the sea was at dusk. The reddish waves burn quietly between the water and the sky, as if they will not be extinguished until the world is destroyed.
And when she opened her eyes, she was stunned for a moment.
Wenying had been listening to this piece of music soberly, so it was easy to escape from the atmosphere it created. Because she saw someone, someone who shouldn't belong in this place. That was a young man, not an old man. He glanced at Jiao Mo. She was still singing passionately, attracting other humans. So Wenying ran forward without interrupting and approached the man who suddenly appeared. Although his clothes are a bit old, they are made of fine materials, and the craftsmanship and patterns should not be products of the Southern Kingdom... Although there was a period of time in history when the Southern Kingdom was under the jurisdiction of their court, now it has become independent again. .
This young man has a mole on each side of his fair cheeks. The left side is parallel to the top of the mole, and there is another one under his eyelids. The ends of his front hair were a little red. This young man was also attracted by Wenying's singing, but he was not completely addicted to this magical singing like other humans. Come to think of it, he is not human...
Wen Ying knew that it was not time to ask Madam Jiao Mo to stop. But an accident happened suddenly, causing Jiao Mo's voice to stop abruptly.
It wasn't Wenying's interruption, but a huge roar.
The sound was so loud and harsh that it echoed over the island for a long time. It was doubtful that all creatures with ears in the South could hear it. Jiao Mo immediately opened his eyes and looked at Wenying in surprise. He didn't expect that besides the noise, there was a strange male worth paying attention to. But putting his matter aside for the time being, even the young man, they all looked towards the source of the sound. The source of the sound is not certain, but something wrong did happen there. In a place where you can't tell the distance, there is a thick black smoke, rushing straight into the sky.
"There is?"
"not sure……"
