The high priest walked step by step in the empty temple with his cane, and I followed him step by step. The mermaids around me all sat up from their clam shells, swaying their gorgeous fish tails, and curiously looked at the mermaids in transformation suits. I.
The most conspicuous thing at the top of the temple is a golden chair. It should be made of pure gold. It is hollowed out and carved with many complicated patterns and decorated with various jewelry. In this temple, it is no less shining than the etheric crystal. Next to it, Slightly lower, there is a smaller chair, which is also made of pure gold, but the decoration is a bit plain compared to the chair in the middle. The old priest climbed up the steps step by step, and also asked me to follow him up, the mermaids They were all gesturing quietly, probably communicating.
I walked up to the high priest, and he took my hand and pushed me onto the chair in the middle! In an instant, the mermaids in the hall were excited! One by one, they swam out of their clam shells and kept gesticulating with their hands. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand their sign language.
"This...this should be your seat. I'm new here, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to sit here..."
The gorgeous-looking chair was uncomfortable to sit on, hard and stiff, and the expressions of the mermaids with different looks in the hall were clearly visible from my perspective. My sixth sense told me that not all of them were The mermaids all welcomed my arrival, and more mermaids had expressions of suspicion and even hatred on their faces.
"No, this chair has always belonged to the Yuan Dynasty people. Mine is next to it." The high priest bowed slightly, retreated to the small chair next to him and sat down.
"Prepare some food for the Yuanchu people."
The high priest gave orders to the mermaids in the hall. One of them swam forward and made emotional gestures, "Communicate through voice. People in the early Yuan Dynasty couldn't understand these gestures."
Then, a loud man's voice spread in the hall. Is this actually a merman? !
"Did the Yuanchu people really return to Atlan? Why are they wearing transformation suits? How can we believe that this is the Yuanchu people without showing their true bodies?"
"The humans in the early Yuan Dynasty have not yet fully awakened, so they need transformation suits to protect their bodies."
As soon as the high priest said this, the mermaids below became even more excited... They gestured quickly and their expressions were very angry...
"Please take off your transformation clothes in the early Yuan Dynasty and let us salute you!" the merman who had spoken before bowed his head and saluted, and the other merman people behind him also saluted.
"Please come to the Yuan Dynasty to mourn, take off your transformation clothes and let us pay our respects!"
Their pleas did not mean any sincerity at all, but sounded like threats and commands. I was really afraid that if I refused, the next second they would swing their huge tails and slap me to death together...
I looked at the high priest, but he was only stroking his beard, paying no attention to the mermaids in the hall.
"Yuanchu people, how about you take off your transformation clothes?" the high priest said quietly.
I thought the high priest would speak for me, but it turned out that he and the mermaid in the hall were singing and playing a double act for me here! Isn't this going to cost me my life? ! I took this off and couldn't survive five minutes at the bottom of the sea. I had already told the high priest that I didn't know how to swim. Why would he say such a thing...
A chill surged from the bottom of my heart, which was worse than the water in the deep sea that cut me to the bone. Nowadays, people are like knives and I am like fish. Through the helmet, I can see the long pointed nails and jagged teeth of the mermaids... beautiful The fish tail is always deceptive, hiding the terrible aggression of the mermaid. I just don’t understand that they could have taken my life when we first entered the water, but they still had to wait until now to bring me here and find such a poor excuse to silence me.
"Don't worry, people of the early Yuan Dynasty. This temple was built for people of the early Yuan Dynasty. You have also seen that the sea inside the temple is different from the sea outside. The mermaids can only swim on the ground, so You can feel free to take off your transformation clothes." The high priest also stood up and bowed his head to salute me, "You go up and help the Yuanchu people take off their equipment."
The mermaids could no longer hold back any longer, so they jumped to my feet and opened the buckles at the joints. Clear liquid flowed out from the buckles and mixed into the endless sea water in an instant. After all the transformation clothes were taken off, I was top-heavy and stood upside down on the chair. My fingertips felt numb and painful. I knew it was the pressure at work, maybe my capillaries had burst...
The last thing is the helmet. The sharp nails of the mermaid scratched my skin. Under the stimulation of the sea water, the pain of the wound was transmitted to my brain, making my consciousness clearer. With a "click", the buckle opened and the two mermaids worked together to remove it. After taking off my helmet, the pressure around me was like countless hammers hitting my head, and the blue water in front of me turned crimson... The last feeling in my consciousness was the sound of a knock on the top of my head. The clanking sound of metal is like the last unwilling cry of my flesh and blood in the face of irresistible high pressure.
There was no struggle, no pain. After all the feelings disappeared, I wandered in the sea water, my limbs were extremely light. The sea water was no longer cold, and it enveloped my whole body gently. I was no longer afraid. This long-standing familiar feeling Where does the sense of security come from?
Where does this thumping drum sound come from?
A beam of light penetrated the sea surface and was cut into millions of lights. I was in the center of the light, watching the Tyndall effect in the sea water showing me the way to the top.
"Hey! They really look like people from the early Yuan Dynasty without fish tails!"
"These are not people from the early Yuan Dynasty. I think it seems like those humanoids from the lower dimensions crossed the dimension by chance. How come the real people from the early Yuan Dynasty can't even enter the sea water?"
"Maybe? He's not really dead, is he?"
The mermaids around them were discussing that they could communicate without making any complicated gestures at all. The reason why they did that before was just to guard against me.
At this time, I felt an unprecedented calmness in my heart. I could not feel the restlessness when the blood in my body was flowing, and I no longer felt fear or anxiety. The stable stone gradually brought all my consciousness that had been scattered around deeper and deeper. Pulling each other together, the upside-down world in front of us slowly became right.
"Yuan... Yuanchu people..." The high priest's voice was trembling.
I stood on the golden chair and slowly sat cross-legged without saying a word.
The high priest immediately withdrew to the hall and saluted me together with the mermaids, "The spirit appeared from the people in the early Yuan Dynasty! The spirit appeared from the people from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty!"
They shouted several times, but when I still didn't respond, "Go and prepare food for the Yuanchu people!"
"No." I opened my palm and raised it gently, and the ether crystal in the temple left the ground, and a light pillar was connected with my palm. A steady stream of pure energy followed the light pillar and poured into me. Gradually, my body became full. I closed my eyes and felt the changes in my body. The capillaries with damaged ends were replenished.
"I don't need to eat anymore."
