Chu Yu sighed and barely supported her body to get up from the pool. It seemed that she was still very tired. When she reached the shore, she lay directly on the ground and looked up at the sky.
"In a period of time that has not been recorded in history, the ruler at that time angered the gods. The gods punished the world and asked the Dragon King not to rain water!"
Chu Yu spoke in a very soft voice, as if she was afraid of touching some taboo:
"But the Dragon King who was in charge of that place at that time was a kind-hearted man, so he negotiated with the gods. The gods seemed to make concessions, but made more demanding demands. If the princess of that country could take it one step at a time without resorting to any external power
, walking from the capital to the East China Sea, the gods allowed the Dragon King to rain water..."
Having said this, Chu Yu seemed to have regained all his energy, rolling up from the ground. Looking at Wu Dazhi and Zhou Zijing who were full of interest, he smiled mysteriously and continued his story:
"There is a distance of two thousand kilometers from the capital to the East China Sea. As a ruler, how could he be willing to let his daughter suffer such injustice? So the matter of praying for rain was delayed again and again, and finally a girl who looked a bit like the princess
A similar maid stood up and was willing to pray for rain on behalf of the princess..."
"Shit!!" Zhou Zijing wanted to listen to the story quietly, but when Chu Yu told this point, he let out a discordant sigh: "Sister, isn't this story a bit too cliche?"
Chu Yu did not immediately answer Zhou Zijing's words. She glanced at him in a daze, and finally just sighed without stopping her words:
"How can the gods be so easy to deceive? Although the palace maid went to the East China Sea in accordance with the agreement of the gods, because of the deception, the gods punished the country more severely and destroyed it directly. But the gods also kept their promises. He was destroying a country.
At the same time, a country was created..."
Wu Dazhi nodded, it was a good story, but after Chu Yu told it for so long, he still didn't understand what kind of existence the Dragonborn was.
"Don't worry, listen to me continue!" Chu Yu seemed to understand Wu Dazhi's thoughts and said softly: "It's just that the newly established country is ruled by women, but it is different from the daughter country. In addition to the royal family, the new country has
Anyone can marry a man and have children."
"Oh, then their emperor doesn't have to have children? Or should they implement an electoral system? Or a system of personal representation??"
Zhou Zijing was already drowsy at this time. He listened to what Chu Yu said more and more unreliable. Finally he couldn't bear to lie down. Taking a rest while listening to Chu Yu's ink seemed to be a good choice.
"No, the queen has to go to sea once when she reaches childbearing age. Each time she goes to sea, she will bring back a handsome man. The next year they will give birth to a child. If the child is a man, they will be sent back to the sea; if the child is a woman, they will be sent back to the sea.
stay."
When Chu Yu said this, Wu Dazhi finally understood the meaning of her words. The handsome man brought back by the Queen should be related to dragons. But did he understand what this had to do with mermaids?
"That Chu Yu, I roughly understand what you mean, but there is one thing I don't quite understand. What does this mermaid have to do with you?"
"Later, the new country was also destroyed, and the royal family members all fled into the sea. It turned out that they were the ancestors of the mermaids..."
When Chu Yu said this, Wu Dazhi was drinking water. As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Dazhi lost his temper and spit out the water.
It was really a fairy tale. The ancestor of the mermaid, as far as he knew, the sinister mermaid had lived for thousands of years.
"Do you think this myth is helpful to us?" Chu Yu glanced at Wu Dazhi depressedly. The reason why she didn't say anything before was because she always believed that the two had nothing to do with each other.
Wu Dazhi was also puzzled by Chu Yu's question. Judging from the information currently available, it's hard to say whether the two are related or not.
The key to everything is still that big hall. Wu Dazhi tried hard to recall whether he had seen that big hall before in Daliao. Suddenly, he remembered a detail.
He had gone into the water with the mermaid before and had seen the bronze coffin, but at that time the coffin was not locked with iron chains and placed on a high bronze shelf.
The shelf had nine legs in total, Wu Dazhi slowly recalled, yes, those nine legs were all dragons, dragons in various shapes.
"I remembered something..." Wu Dazhi spoke slowly, fearing that he would touch anyone's sensitive nerves: "I have been underwater before in Daliao. At that time, it was not nine iron chains that supported the bronze coffin, but
Nine dragons!”
As soon as Wu Dazhi said these words, it was like dropping a live rabbit into a group of hungry wolves, causing a food chain reaction in an instant.
"I know!" Chu Yu suddenly jumped up and down: "I finally know why there are nine disharmonious pillars in the hall. Those pillars are not important at all, so they are the carriers for imprisoning the nine dragons!"
Zhou Zijing, who had been lying on the ground to enjoy himself, instantly got up. Wu Dazhi never thought that he could move so flexibly.
"Let's go!" Chu Yu didn't wait for the two people behind him, and ran towards the main hall with long strides: "Maybe those nine dragons can help us open the bronze coffin effortlessly!"
This time the three of them had something in mind. Wu Dazhi and Zhou Zijing did not dare to neglect and followed Chu Yu closely. Five minutes later, the three of them appeared in the hall again.
Unfortunately, the current hall is no longer the hall they saw before. It is more like a tomb than a building.
The situation at hand is very complicated, but at least it is not entirely bad news. If the nine dragons are really useless, there is no need for the previous experts to come up with so many tricks.
The only thing that was the same as in my memory was the door that was difficult to open. This time, just like last time, Zhou Zijin spent a lot of effort to open the door.
The space in front of me is much larger and deeper than before. The big pillars are no longer there, replaced by two stone walls.
The three people did not rush inside, but picked up a small stone from the side and threw it inside.
The small stone jumped twice in the deep space, making a crisp sound, but did not touch any mechanism. Wu Dazhi just wanted to go in, but was suddenly stopped by Chu Yu. The master of the Liao Dynasty was very thoughtful, so she had to be on guard.
.
Thinking about it, Chu Yu picked up another small stone from the ground and threw it into the darkness. Everything was as before.
"Let's go, there shouldn't be much of a problem. If there really is an agency, we'll try again when the time comes!" Chu Yu tried it twice, and finally felt relieved.
The three of them walked all the way in, and the walk went smoothly. There were no hidden weapons that they were worried about before, nor were there any monsters and monsters that often appear in tomb-robbery novels.
For a moment, Wu Dazhi even suspected that the ancients just used some means to deceive others. Zhou Zijing also had the same worries as Wu Dazhi. While exploring the way ahead, he kept talking.
At one moment, he said that the ancients talked nonsense and liked to play the game of cat and mouse. At another moment, he said that he didn't expect to stay in here for so long and didn't bring in more food.
When he talked about food, Zhou Zijing suddenly stopped, took out a compressed biscuit from his backpack, and started eating regardless of the situation.
After eating enough, he continued to chatter. Even after saying something, none of it was useful. Wu Dazhi felt a little impatient and couldn't help cursing:
"Damn fat man, can you please shut your mouth? I'm going to be talked about to death by you!"
"Death early, reincarnation early, late, no good pregnancy!" It didn't matter if Wu Dazhi didn't scold him, he scolded Zhou Zijing with more enthusiasm.
Wu Dazhi angrily went up and kicked Zhou Zijing in the butt. Zhou Zijing was unprepared and staggered forward a few steps. As soon as he stopped, he screamed:
"Oh, Dazhi, you've seen your head!"
Before Wu Dazhi could say anything, Zhou Zijing started talking to himself again:
"No, this is the end? Hey, it's the end, how could this happen..."
