Crossing the little brother is not easy to mess with

Standing not far away, Yun Wei could clearly see the plan of "Mermaid", but it was too late to step forward to help.

At the critical moment, Qiu Hanyu withdrew the dagger, and stuffed a ball of green stuff into the mouth of the "mermaid" with the other hand, blocking back the shout that the "mermaid" was about to blurt out.At this time, the dagger came again, and the "mermaid" had no way to save his life, so he turned around immediately and wanted to escape.

Yun Wei immediately stepped forward and grabbed Qiu Hanyu's hand to catch up, but Qiu Hanyu reached out and grabbed the "mermaid" by the hair, and then grabbed the fleeing mermaid by the hair.

This...Yun Wei was stunned, he didn't expect that Brother Qiu would also use hair-pulling tricks in fights, and it's really inconvenient to fight with too long hair!

Besides, the "mermaid" began to tremble after being captured alive, clasping his fists in both hands as if begging.

Yun Wei ignored it so much, seeing that Brother Qiu regained control of the scene, he immediately stepped forward to hold Qiu Hanyu's hand.He didn't forget that this was underwater, how could Brother Qiu breathe after being away from him for so long!

Thinking about it this way, Yun Wei felt that he was quite important.

After holding hands with Qiuhanyu, Yunwei can chat freely with Brother Qiu again, "Brother Qiu, what kind of monster is this? Is it a human?"

"Not really." Qiu Hanyu replied: "I have heard Master mention that this thing is Ling Yu."

"Lingyu? Do you mean the fish in the mausoleum? These fish live in the tomb? What do they feed on?" Yun Wei is still very curious about this strange creature.

Qiu Hanyu shook his head, "Lingyu is a kind of fish in mythology. Some say it lives in the deep sea, and some say it lives in clear springs in the mountains."

"According to the current situation, the latter seems to be more reliable." Yunwei moved forward to see the "mermaid" clearly. Originally, Yunwei thought that the "mermaid" looked unscientific. After all, hands and feet are not suitable for swimming, and Yun Wei overturned this idea after a closer look.This "mermaid" has a well-developed tail fin, which can completely allow the "mermaid" to move freely in the water, while the hands can work, and the feet can allow the "mermaid" to stand without feeling tired.

Qiu Hanyu shrank Yunwei's hand, signaling Yunwei not to get too close, "No, I heard from Master that this fish should live in the deep sea."

"True or not?" Yun Wei's eyes widened. Doesn't this mean that this "mermaid" was caught and locked up here? "If they live in the deep sea, how do you explain this one?"

Qiu Hanyu shook his head, saying that he couldn't explain it either.

"It's so pitiful, it's so far away from home, and you have been away for hundreds of years, you must be homesick?" Yun Wei thought about it, and suddenly conjured up a big fish from the deep sea and sent it to the "mermaid".

The "mermaid" is not an ordinary fish, but possesses a certain level of intelligence. When he suddenly saw food that he hadn't eaten for hundreds of years, he was shocked for a moment, and his face was full of joy.

He stopped making bows with his hands, grabbed the big fish with one hand, and took out the hair in his mouth with the other hand to start gnawing.The water instantly became turbid, Yun Wei took two steps back subconsciously, but Qiu Hanyu didn't move to prevent the "mermaid" from taking the opportunity to attack.

"Mermaid" finished eating the big fish, and looked at Yun Wei with bright eyes.

"Do you still want to eat? Oh, I don't know if you can understand human speech." Yun Wei looked at Qiu Hanyu in embarrassment, "Do you want to go home? It's the sea. If you can understand, please nod." , we can take you away together."

The "mermaid" was confused for a moment, and then began to nod frantically.

"At first glance, it's homesick." Wei Yun was even more impressed with King Xiang who captured the "mermaid", "You can't leave the water, I can only let you temporarily live in my precious little conch , there is food in it, you won’t be hungry, but you can’t give me trouble if you don’t eat. When we leave here and go home, we will send you back to the sea. Whether you can find your ethnic group depends on yourself. Agree Just... just blink!"

After the "mermaid" was confused for a while, his eyes blinked like cramps.

"Sure enough, you can understand me!" Yun Wei nodded, "Okay, let's go?"

This time the "mermaid" didn't nod, but shook his head, signaling Yun Wei and Qiu Hanyu to follow it.

Qiu Hanyu paused for a moment, and slowly let go of the hand holding the "mermaid"'s hair, and slowly retracted the dagger when he saw that it had no unnecessary movements.

After being free, the "mermaid" swam half a circle around the two of them before pulling Yunwei's wrist to swim to the bottom of the water.

When approaching the aquatic plants at the bottom, Yun Wei stopped vigilantly. "Mermaid" didn't understand why the two humans who wanted to take him home didn't leave, and looked at Yunwei suspiciously.

The "tilted head kill", which should have been cute, was made by a strange fish without a neck, which is really unbearable to look at.Yun Wei coughed lightly, "Well, do you have something to get? Go get it yourself, we'll wait for you here."

The "mermaid" stood there blankly for a while, then nodded, turned around and swam into the aquatic plants.After half a cup of tea, it swam out and handed Yun Wei a wooden box.

"For me?" Yun Wei picked up the box to have a look, then looked at Qiu Hanyu.

Qiu Hanyu nodded, "Agarwood more than a thousand years old." The implication is that even if the box is empty, the wooden box alone is worth a fortune.

"This is beautiful, I like it very much, thank you!" Yun Wei smiled and thanked the "mermaid".The mermaid seemed very happy and rubbed her head against Yunwei.

Qiu Hanyu's face darkened, and he took Yunwei's hand to take two steps back, separating one man and one fish.But Yunwei didn't receive his little thoughts at all, instead he reached out his hand to the mermaid, "Are you ready? Let's go when we're ready?"

The "mermaid" flicked its tail, and happily took Yun Wei's hand.Then, it disappeared in the blink of an eye. "Okay, Brother Qiu, let's go!"

Without the eyesore, Qiu Hanyu became the Qiu brother who was obedient to Yunwei in everything, and walked to the other end of the tomb passage hand in hand with Yunwei.

There were no strange fish, only some obstructive aquatic plants, which did not cause too much trouble to Yunwei and Qiuhanyu, and the two quickly touched the end of the waterway.

There are some steps at the end of the waterway, Yunwei and Qiu Hanyu climbed up the stone steps without hesitation, and picked up the steps.

There are 99 steps in total, which may represent ninety-nine infinity. "Brother Qiu, do you think that King Xiang's brain circuit is different from other people's? People are dead, and ninety-nine are infinite. Doesn't it mean that death is endless? Doesn't King Xiang want to be reincarnated?"

"Jiujiu Gaotai represents the infinitely lofty status of King Xiang." Qiu Hanyu explained to Yun Wei.

"Oh, let me just say, no one wants to live anymore, that's why." Yun Wei and Qiu Hanyu walked up while talking.Yunwei is just a frail scholar, and he doesn’t exercise often. It is already God’s blessing and Qiu Hanyu’s careful care to get here. So Yunwei started to breathe heavily after walking for more than a third of the way, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

Isn't it just 99 steps? It's not like he hasn't climbed it in his previous life.Yun Wei gritted his teeth and climbed up while cheering himself up.Qiu Hanyu offered to carry him up, but he refused, and at the end it was all thanks to Qiu Hanyu to pull him up.

After walking up the last step, Yun Wei saw a coffin in the center of the high platform, and a futon in front of the coffin.Yun Wei was so tired that he sat down on the futon.

Qiu Hanyu took out a fire pocket and relit the ever-burning lamps around the coffin.This permanent lamp is different from ordinary lamps.Rather than saying it is a lamp, it is better to say that there is a wick in the tripod.

"This King Xiang is quite rich, and he can use so much oil to make long-burning lamps." At that time, there was no peanut oil, soybean oil, or rapeseed oil, and all the oil was animal fat.This big tripod was extremely tall, about as thick as three adult men hugging each other. According to Yun Wei's guess, this tripod can hold a thousand catties of fat at least, and there are eight such tripods here. "How many animals must be slaughtered to be refined?"

"These are human oil!" Qiu Hanyu said lightly.

He said calmly, but dropped a heavy bomb in Yunwei's heart, "How many people will be killed!"

Qiu Hanyu pointed at the cauldron, and signaled Yunwei to watch it for himself.There are no inscriptions engraved on these eight tripods but different pictures.The meaning of the eight cauldrons is roughly connected: King Xiang led his troops to conquer one after another who refused to surrender, and where he passed, he threw all the young and strong men into the cauldron and cooked them alive. These corpse oils.

"What a tyrant, no wonder the Goddess looks down on him!" Yun Wei said angrily.

Qiu Hanyu stroked along Yunwei's back. "King Xiang's move is also helpless. He doesn't have enough troops to guard these surrendered soldiers, nor does he have enough food to feed them. In order to stabilize his rule and continue his great cause of unification, he can only do this." Qiu Hanyu looked After reading too many military books, he understood what King Xiang's choice was.

Yun Wei was speechless. There are many similar incidents in history. It can be said that as long as there is a large-scale war, it is not uncommon to kill prisoners.Feeding your enemy for nothing, maybe this enemy killed your parents, brothers, sisters, wives and children not long ago, no one is the Holy Mother, how can you be willing?

This is in response to the sentence, "The king wins and the king loses the bandit". Now the result is that King Xiang won. If he lost, then what they lit today is probably the lamp oil refined from his corpse.

Although I understand this truth in my heart, I still feel uncomfortable.Yun Wei waved his hand at Qiu Hanyu, "Go and find your little Hei Jin, I will sit here and rest for a while."

Qiu Hanyu was worried about Yun Wei. After standing by his side for a while, he found that he was really fine. He was only a little tired before going to work. He planned to grab his things and leave early. Xiao Wei said he missed the children. .

After Yunwei sat and sulked for a while, he suddenly realized that he was bubbling like a fool.Is this a concern for the ancients?Yun Wei sneered at himself, let go of the matter, raised his head and watched Qiu Hanyu open King Xiang's coffin...
