"She used to be my teacher..." Zu An fell into memories, and the scene of seeing each other in the pavilion outside the college came to mind.
At that time, I had just traveled to that world. Not only was I low-status and looked down upon by others, but I also had a lot of restrictions on me. It was like a hellish start. The appearance of the other party was really a rare touch of brightness.
"Teacher-student love?" The mermaid queen's breathing suddenly became rapid. Even though the other party hadn't said anything specific, she had already imagined a heart-stirring love.
The two are in love between teacher and student, so there must be many worldly obstacles.
And she was very curious, what kind of woman could be his teacher?
After all these days of contact, Zu An is already the most mysterious, highly cultivated, and knowledgeable man she has ever seen.
She could not imagine that any woman could teach such an outstanding disciple, and she was also a descendant of the mermaid clan.
"Are my descendants so powerful?" For a moment, the Mermaid Queen had some doubts about life.
Seeing her expression, Zu An guessed what she was thinking and couldn't help but smile: "It's not what you think. She mainly taught me music. We met because of a piece of music."
Now surrounded by endless white fog, and the world is now sliced into time and space, he can't help but feel a little lonely and homesick.
So I took out a xun that I carried with me and gently played the song "Original Scenery of My Hometown". The gray and dead air around me seemed to become regular and orderly under the influence of this music, and it was no longer a vast expanse of paleness.
, as if turning into white clouds in the sky.
Hearing the melodious and slightly sad song, the Mermaid Queen was held captive for several minutes.
After the song ended, Zu An just said: "We met because of this song."
The Mermaid Queen couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder she likes you. I guess she had a deep affection for you as soon as she heard this song."
Zu An was a little surprised: "How do you know I played this music to her?"
The mermaid queen smiled lightly: "Because this piece of music is very different from the music style of our mermaid clan, but it is also novel and beautiful. It is definitely not something that a woman from the mermaid clan can play."
"The Queen is indeed proficient in music." Zu An couldn't help but admired that the mermaid family are born musicians. Whether it is Shang Liuyu, Shang Hongyu, or Gong Suyin in front of him, they are all absolute geniuses in this aspect.
.
Looking into Zu An's eyes, the Mermaid Queen suddenly asked: "Does that woman look a lot like me?"
Feeling the anticipation in her burning eyes, Zu An couldn't bear to ignore her for a while: "Well, they do look alike."
In fact, after getting along for a long time, he gradually realized the differences between the two. At first glance, they were indeed similar, but after getting familiar with each other, he could still find that there were many subtle differences, and each had its own beauty.
Although she had guessed this answer a long time ago, after receiving the confirmation from the other party, the Mermaid Queen felt both happy and worried.
What he was happy about was that he fell in love with someone who was similar to himself. What was worrying was that the woman looked so similar to him, so she was probably related by blood.
No!
Thinking of that possibility, the Mermaid Queen's heart sank to the bottom.
"What's her name..."
Just as she was about to ask, Zu An suddenly let out a sigh and looked down, obviously discovering something.
The Mermaid Queen looked down and found a broken formation below. It seemed that this should be one of the important formations used by the Sea Tribe to suppress Haiyan.
At this time, the formation has been damaged and has lost one-third of its size. The entire formation is only emitting a faint light, and it is obvious that it may completely collapse at any time.
However, what worried the two of them was that there were many monsters with painful expressions around the formation. These monsters looked different from the monsters that had been killed on the ground before. They looked like dragons and lizards. Each of them held their heads and exuded a sad look.
They were wailing, and many were even rolling on the ground.
"What kind of monsters are these?" The Mermaid Queen was shocked. There were countless monsters being suppressed under the eyes of the sea, and she didn't know what their abilities were. If they escaped, they would probably cause another bloody storm.
"They are not monsters," Zu An said with a complicated expression and a somewhat sad tone, "If my prediction is correct, they should be the group of guards who came down before."
"What!" The Mermaid Queen hurriedly looked closely, and then noticed that some monsters still had vaguely broken armor and clothes, which were indeed the costumes of the previous defenders.
"How could they become like this?" The Mermaid Queen's eyes instantly became moist. Seeing those loyal warriors become like this, she felt particularly uncomfortable.
"The reason why this formation can barely sustain itself without completely collapsing should be the credit of these defenders," Zu An glanced around and quickly judged, "They burned their lives and beliefs to fight against the death energy, trying to repair the great formation here.
formation to suppress Haiyan again, but unfortunately their power of life and faith is limited, but the death energy around them is infinite."
"Under the erosion of this steady stream of death energy, they gradually lost their minds. However, they are defenders after all. They did not die completely. Instead, their bodies were transformed by the death energy, and they gradually became such monsters."
He recognized them because he had seen them in later generations.
At that time, in the hidden temple of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, there were such stone statues on both sides.
Later, when an invasion of foreign enemies was detected, the stone statues began to crack, and these "monsters" like dragon lizards appeared one after another.
At that time, I thought they were the ancient dragon clan who voluntarily used secret methods to build the stone statue to protect the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons. I didn't expect that the real reason was this.
"I want to save them." The Mermaid Queen quickly took out the Deep Sea Piano, and a series of healing notes surrounded them.
Who knew that the guards were becoming more and more miserable at this time, and many of them even rushed towards the Mermaid Queen with ferocious faces.
Zu An protected the Mermaid Queen behind him and took her some distance back, thus avoiding the attacks of the defenders.
"How could this happen?" The Mermaid Queen was shocked and confused.
"Because their bodies are full of death energy at this time, and they have been transformed into monsters by the death energy. Your music is healing to normal creatures, but it is like poison to them." Zu An said as he spoke.
The energy of Hongmeng began to purify the nearest defenders.
The death energy was taken away from their bodies, and the originally violent guards gradually calmed down.
However, as the death energy dissipated, their bodies were decaying visibly to the naked eye.
"No!" Zu An hurriedly removed the Hongmeng Qi and said in a deep voice while looking at the scene in front of him, "They are now transformed by the death energy. It can be said that they rely entirely on the death energy to maintain their last bit of vitality. If the death energy
disappear, they will completely decay and turn into dust.”
Although it sounded difficult to pronounce, the Mermaid Queen still understood what it meant.
Her eyes turned red when she thought of those desperate defenders who were in such a state that they would rather die than die: "Is there any way to save them?"
