MTL - The Male Supporting Roles Who Are Lonely and Old All the Time-Chapter 12 Mermaid sleeping method.
He Dongchen immediately looked at it attentively. It turns out that when the mermaid is seriously injured and placed on the order, she can choose to sleep, seal herself, and wait to be awakened by her kind.
For the mermaid sleeping method, you must first find a sea clam that can accommodate your body size and is big enough. This alone makes the secret method very tasteless, because the chance of a huge sea clam happening to appear next to it when you are seriously injured is really too small.
Even if it did appear, it would be very difficult for the mermaid to pry open the sea clam with its seriously injured body.
Assuming all these conditions are fulfilled, the mermaid sleeps for only ten years, and if it is not awakened by the same kind within ten years, it will die completely.
He Dongchen's eyes flickered, counting the time, they have been ashore for almost ten years.
He read the book word by word, wrote down the spell to wake up the mermaid, quickly left the library, called the other mermaids to gather, and set off for the sea clam.
The other mermaids didn't know why, but they were still very excited: "Patriarch, are you going to pry open that clam?"
He Dongchen shook his head: "It can't be pried open."
When the mermaid is asleep, the sea clam cannot be pried open, and only the same kind of spell can break the seal.
After a while of swaying, when he reached the place, He Dongchen landed in front of the golden-pink sea clam, put his hand on the shell, and silently recited a spell.
The other mermaids looked at each other and remained silent.
Suddenly, a golden light appeared on the clam shell, which made people unable to open their eyes. He Dongchen was the first to bear the brunt, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and put it down after a while, only to see the golden light gradually dissipate, and a hole opened in the clam shell, releasing soft white light.
All the fish held their breath and stretched their necks to see what kind of top-quality pearls were hidden in the clams.
The mouth of the clam is getting bigger and bigger, revealing its true face.
After the white light dissipated, I saw a mermaid hugging its tail and curled up inside the shell. The golden pinkish tail was a bit dull, but still beautiful. The golden wavy hair spread out, revealing pointed ears and a flawless side face , the beautiful eyebrows and eyes are tightly frowned, with an uneasy expression, like a fragile vase, which makes people feel caring.
The mermaids gasped, it was so beautiful.
He Dongchen stretched out his hand, trying to smooth the other's frowning brows, but before he could get close, the other party opened his eyes suddenly, with a flash of golden light, he opened his mouth and bit He Dongchen's wrist, showing a fierce look.
Everyone was shocked! Reaching out to open the opponent's mouth.
"Don't move." He Dongchen stopped, and as the words fell, a drop of blood fell, dripping on the other's delicate chin, coupled with those stubborn and vigilant golden eyes, the beauty was thrilling.
"Don't be afraid, we are here to save you." He Dongchen tried to appease the other party, and hummed the mermaid's favorite song. Seeing this, the other mermaids sang along. .
The blond-haired mermaid gradually relaxed her body and closed her eyes again. This time her brows were no longer furrowed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she had dreamed of something beautiful.
He Dongchen heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the blood on the opponent's chin, then looked at the two rows of blood-deep tooth marks on his wrist, shook his head and laughed, it was really fierce.
But having said that, the mermaids live in the deep sea and are full of dangers, fighting with various sea beasts. They are not a docile race, but their beautiful appearance makes them look gentle and harmless.
Beauty is not the same as vulnerability.
The clam shell was too heavy to move, so He Dongchen could only carry the blond-haired mermaid back to the palace.
The other mermaids chattered, guessing the origin of the blond-haired mermaid.
Their tribe went ashore ten years ago, the whole family moved, and even the mermaid who was nearing its lifespan was not left behind. This blond-haired mermaid definitely did not belong to their tribe.
"You are not talking nonsense, golden-tailed mermaids are rare, and you can count them with two hands. She is so beautiful, with a golden slant pink. Using human descriptions, it is rose gold. Such a beautiful mermaid, if it is from our tribe, I will soon I will pursue it!" A mermaid rolled his eyes and said.
The mermaids distinguish between beauty and ugliness without looking at the face, but at the tail. All of them are tail controlers. When they see a beautiful tail, they can't swim.
He Dongchen looked down at the rose gold tail in his arms, it was indeed beautiful. He freed one hand to stroke the tail.
Suddenly, the tail trembled slightly, and the owner of the tail opened his eyes.
A trace of confusion flashed across those beautiful golden eyes, the mouth opened and closed, and it took a moment to utter weakly: "Where is this?"
"Dark Blue Tribe." He Dongchen said.
The blond-haired mermaid burst into light instantly, pushing He Dongchen's shoulders with both hands: "Hurry up and save my tribe, there is an earthquake in Xitu, and the mermaid palace is destroyed."
He Dongchen and the other mermaids fell silent.
After a long while, a mermaid whispered: "The Xitu tribe was destroyed by an earthquake ten years ago." At that time, their tribe went to rescue them, but when they arrived, they couldn't even find the mermaid palace, let alone the mermaid. Only return afterwards.
Unexpectedly, apart from Princess Huaxue, there was another survivor in the Xitu Tribe, who seemed to have been asleep for ten years.
The atmosphere was a little frozen. The blond mermaid couldn't accept the fact that the tribe was destroyed, and was very emotional. She pushed He Dongchen away and wanted to go back to the tribe to save people, but after ten years of sleep, her body became very weak. Fall and lose consciousness.
He Dongchen went to catch them. For them, the destruction of the Xitu tribe happened ten years ago. For her, the tragedy happened just a second ago.
A group of people returned to the Mermaid Palace and settled the blonde mermaid. Seeing her weak appearance, it is estimated that she will need to rest for a few days before going on the road.
The other mermaids are quite happy, they can stay in the mermaid palace for a while longer, running around.
He Dongchen took care of the blond-haired mermaid, and fed her some food, some kind of meatballs made of fish, stuffed into her mouth, moved and dissolved, it was very miraculous.
The next day, the blond mermaid woke up, and seemed to have accepted the fact that ten years had passed, her emotions were no longer so excited, but a little depressed.
She slowly ate the food He Dongchen gave, and then glanced at the room, the surrounding was quiet, there was no mermaid singing, she hesitated: "What's wrong here?"
He Dongchen briefly talked about how their tribe went ashore ten years ago.
"If we hadn't returned to the Mermaid Palace this time, I'm afraid you...by the way, what's your name?"
"Thea, the princess of the Xitu tribe." The blond mermaid said.
He Dongchen paused, turned his head to look at her, glanced across the rose gold tail, and said suddenly: "Ten years ago, the princess of Xitu had already appeared."
"What?" Thea's eyes froze slightly, and then she couldn't believe it, and she vetoed it, "Impossible! I am the only princess rated by Xitu! Look, I still have Xitu's mermaid record."
Thea folded her hands on her chest, her eyes flashed, and a golden book slowly emerged from her front.
It's a mermaid spectrum.
He Dongchen also kept a copy.
Thea called out the mermaid book and proved her identity. Originally, the mermaid book should be in the hands of the patriarch, and it was not up to her, a married princess, to keep it. But the day of the earthquake was too chaotic, so she took the mermaid book from the patriarch in a daze. , and fled with a few mermaids.
Thea opened the mermaid book and saw that the names inside were all darkened, and burst into tears.
He Dongchen sighed softly, got up and left the room, the moment the door was closed, there was a burst of crying in the room.
He Dongchen turned around, caught off guard and confronted several mermaids.
Several people looked at each other and left quietly.
After walking a long way, the mermaid sighed: "Princess Huaxue didn't cry so sad ten years ago."
"Hey, didn't Princess Huaxue hurt her head and lost her memory? She forgot everything, so of course she wouldn't be so sad."
A few people were talking, and suddenly thought that Hua Xuelu had killed their patriarch, and wagged their tails in embarrassment.
"That patriarch, why don't you choose another one you like? I think the one in the house is good, and that tail is so beautiful!"
"That's right, she looks more like a princess than the dusty Huaxue."
Huaxue's tail, like silver ornaments worn for several years, was dull and dusty, out of place and inconspicuous in a group of mermaids that were either gold, blue or silver.
He Dongchen said slowly: "You are right."
The mermaid rejoiced: "The patriarch is going to be replaced?"
He Dongchen coughed, and said seriously: "What I'm talking about is that Xi Ya is Xitu's princess, and she has a mermaid book in her hand."
The mermaids turned pale with fright. When they picked up the seriously injured Huaxue outside the palace gate, and there was a token of marriage between the two tribes next to them, they decided that Huaxue was the princess of Xitu. Ask for proof.
Unexpectedly, ten years later, Xitu's real princess appeared.
Several people looked at each other and said in unison: "That's great!"
Huaxue is neither smart nor pretty, and even cheated on their patriarch! Thea is so pretty! That tail, want to touch, want to hug.
Thea cried for a long time, and then sang a song, which was the grief and blessing when a loved one passed away. The singing was desolate and beautiful, and it didn't stop until late at night.
He Dongchen took a look into the room, saw that she was just exhausted and fell asleep, put down a piece of food by the bed, and left quietly.
On the second day, the closed door opened, and Thea seemed to usher in a new life, with a haggard look but a light in her eyes.
"You said, Xitu's princess appeared ten years ago? Is she Hua Xue?" Xi Ya found He Dongchen and cut straight to the point. Yesterday she checked the mermaid book, and only her and Hua Xue's names were still on it.
He Dongchen nodded: "That's right. At that time, Huaxue was seriously injured, lost her memory, and had a token of marriage on her body, so we thought she was the princess of Xitu."
Thea's expression was a bit complicated, and she spoke slowly: "At the beginning, I was seriously injured and moved slowly, and I only wanted to find you to go back to save the clansmen, so I handed the token to Hua Xue, sealed it and fell asleep by myself, but I didn't expect that when I woke up, things were different. "
Now there are only her and Hua Xue left in the tribe. Thea has no energy and doesn't want to investigate whether Hua Xue did it on purpose.
He Dongchen said: "Actually, our return to the Mermaid Palace this time has something to do with Hua Xue."
"Tell me." Thea looked at him vigorously.
"Our mermaid clan went ashore and needed to hide our identities. It was stipulated that members of the clan should not fall in love with humans, but Huaxue fell in love with a human. Now the mermaid clan is facing a crisis of exposure. I returned to the palace this time to find the secret method of the clan. That human becomes a mermaid, and the crisis is resolved."
"Unfortunately, there is no record in this regard in Zangshu Pavilion."
Thea's expression became more subtle.
He Dongchen noticed this, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "What do you know?"
Thea nodded and said slowly: "Actually, Hua Xue's father is a mermaid transformed from a human being."
"Hua Xue's mother is my aunt. She is of noble blood and has a golden tail. She was able to compete for the head of the clan, but she fell in love with a human being. The clan couldn't dissuade her, so she turned that human into a mermaid to fulfill them."
"Human beings become mermaids, and half of the mermaid's blood is needed. After my aunt donated blood, the golden tail was covered with dust, and the combat power was halved. The human inherited half of my aunt's blood. Although it can live in the sea, its ability is limited. Even small fish The shrimps couldn't even beat them, because they couldn't adapt to the life in the deep sea, and soon died of depression. And the child they conceived, that is, Hua Xue, was born dull, and the tail was darker than the ordinary silver tail. Since then, no more No mermaid falls in love with a human."
Whoever can accept their offspring is doomed to be dull.
When Thea was a child, she didn't understand why the patriarch wanted to turn the human into a mermaid, but why he didn't just kill him. It was only after seeing Hua Xue that she realized it.
That is the best warning to the clansmen.
Unexpectedly, Hua Xue fell in love with humans again.
Thea smiled wryly: "If you want to turn Hua Xue's lover into a mermaid and divide the blood in half, then the two of them might become the ugliest and most stupid mermaid in the mermaid clan."
She didn't know how ugly and stupid it would be.
And their next generation will be even uglier.
He Dongchen understood: "So, do you know how to turn a human into a mermaid?"
Thea blinked: "I know."
Meanwhile, Pearl Island.
Hua Xue was kissing me and An Yan, and the mermaid who was secretly watching scolded her in her heart.
Huaxue has lived under the fence all these years and felt inferior in her heart. An Yanshang's appearance undoubtedly made her regain her confidence.
Although An Yanshang lost his memory, he did not lose his IQ. These days, he has figured out Huaxue's character thoroughly, and he has some disdain and some pity. After all, they are the same kind of people.
An Yan has been fooling Hua Xue these days, and he has figured out the topography of the island. He has a strong premonition that he should not stay here, and there are more important things to be done.
"Hua Xue, how often does the boat leave the island?" An Yan asked directly, the question was too tactful for the other party to understand.
"No time, but if there is a boat leaving the island, it will be notified. It is the singing of our mermaid clan, which you humans can't hear." Hua Xue revealed the secret without any precautions.
An Yan looked at the foolish Hua Xue, his eyes darkened, maybe he could take her with him when he left, since she's not happy here anyway, isn't she?
A butterfly flew by, Hua Xue cheerfully went to catch the butterfly, An Yan smiled and followed.
After the two left, the bushes next to them shook slightly, and after a while, two heads popped out, gnashing their teeth: "Hua Xue is a traitor!"
"That's right! This human being knows our secret, so he should just throw it into the sea!"
An Yanshang, who had walked a few steps, sensed something was wrong, and turned around suddenly, only to see the grass sway a few times, and a pheasant flew out, flapping its wings and plunging into another grass.
An Yan breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed the space between his brows.
