Chapter 802: Mermaids Rise Again
Chapter 802: Mermaids Rise Again
Bang bang bang, boom boom boom!
The little river otter played various instruments and sang, and struck the chimes. The joyous tunes were cheerful and entertaining.
On the Longling Silk, the brown mouse and the blue cat were running and chasing each other, from the courtyard to the bedroom, from the bedroom to the kitchen, and jumping from the chair to the wooden shelf.
The brown rat ran and threw the plates all the way, and the porcelain plates fell down like water. The blue cat was so frightened that his round face turned pale. He stopped and turned around, catching the plates in a panic until the last plate was caught. The tense music stopped abruptly, and the blue cat breathed a sigh of relief, holding the mountain of porcelain plates in his hands.
boom!
The brown rat kicked the blue cat hard on the butt.
The little otter immediately threw away the drumstick, pinched his throat and yelled with his head raised.
"Ouch!!!"
In the picture, the blue cat jumped in pain, and the pile of porcelain plates in his hand all flew up.
Crackling.
Fragments flew everywhere.
nothing at all!
"Blue Cat! You're in trouble again!"
The little mirage dragon rubbed its throat and pretended to be majestic. The owner appeared in the picture and pressed the blue cat's tail with a broom.
Wen Shiyun hugged the black dog head and laughed wildly.
No one in the ice house spoke or interrupted. All the senior brothers and sisters walked out of the room unconsciously, sat cross-legged on the carpet and concentrated their attention. Even a circle of mermaids gathered outside the ice house, lying on the ice and watching.
Liang Qu hugged Long Eying and felt a great sense of accomplishment when he saw her happy!
What does it mean to be suitable for all ages?
It is simply the finishing touch to the underwater New Year festival, perfect!
Xu Zishuai stared intently and leaned his head forward.
"Junior brother, how did you come up with this?"
"Can't Long Ling Xiao transform into an official uniform?" Liang Qu was very proud. "There is a spirit beast in front of the official uniform. Long Ling Xiao controls the color and can make the spirit beast move like a real one. I thought of shadow puppetry, and the combination of the two gave rise to this."
"I saw you stuffed a stack of papers in the back?"
"I drew it."
Liang Qu took out another stack of colored paper from the box and distributed it to everyone.
Everyone took it and simply flipped through it, one page at a time, quite like a children's comic book.
Long Lingxiao is a semi-spiritual soldier with his own vague consciousness, infused with qi and blood, and connected with his mind, enough to "calculate in real time".
There was no need for Liang Qu to draw dozens of pictures like he did in a real animation, nor was there a need for a full background for each picture. He could even let Long Lingxiao remember it and just use the word "cat" instead.
It only takes half a cup of tea to finish a hundred photos.
With his tiger hunting level and control ability, Liang Qu found it very easy to paint and color.
First draw a few samples, and then find an apprentice in a calligraphy and painting shop. The cost of a set can be controlled to less than 15 taels, and it is not even just about coloring. Give a few sets of picture albums, and then propose ideas and themes. The owner of the calligraphy and painting shop will imitate and create his own works.
For today's "surprise".
Liang Qu prepared a total of fifty episodes, spending more than seven hundred taels of silver, with about three hours of substantial content.
It may not sound like much, but the characteristic of Blue Cat and Brown Rat is that you never get tired of watching it. You can watch it once and then watch it again without worrying about getting bored for half a month.
One episode is over.
Everyone is still unsatisfied.
genius!
In all aspects!
Liangqu always gives people a novel and strong impact in unexpected places!
No matter how wonderful the drama or shadow play is, after today, they have lost their luster and cannot be compared with this at all!
There isn't a single word of language in it, and you don't have to bother understanding it at all. Even a child like Wen Shiyun who has never been to school can enjoy reading it!
So refreshing!
The fast-paced music made the little otter look a little tired.
The little beaver stepped forward to take over.
The two water beasts take turns in another episode. Previously, there was a commotion in the courtyard, but in the second episode, in order to suit the festive atmosphere, it was changed to a firecracker battle, with the blue cat and the brown rat throwing bamboo tube firecrackers at each other.
The tense background music starts again.
Zhang Xu, the head of the Zhang family, had been planning to leave to arrange dinner, but he stopped involuntarily when he saw this.
Not long anyway.
Watch another segment?
Jiangchuan County.
"Yuxuan, what's going on?"
Quan Linghan was wandering around the market town when he unexpectedly discovered that many of his clansmen had all run to the Ice Crystal Palace next door, surrounding it tightly, with some even clinging to the rooftops.
Quan Yuxuan looked around and said, "It seems like there is a shadow play going on. Many mermaids went to watch the fun. I just heard Sister Min said that she went to look for her boy, and she hasn't come back yet."
"Shadow puppet?" Quan Linghan wondered.
Jiangchuan County is divided into two parts, above water and underwater. Merchant ships travel back and forth on the island, and occasionally there are acrobats who come to perform. He is not unfamiliar with shadow puppetry, but there are at least two or three hundred mermaids outside the Ice Crystal Palace.
"Is a shadow puppet so attractive to mermaids?"
"It must be very different from what Lord Liang did, right?" Quan Yuxuan guessed.
"Let's go and have a look!"
……
Long Lingxiao played silently, while the blue cat and brown mouse ran non-stop.
The little otter and the little beaver were gnawing bones and carrots around their little round table.
Wen Shiyun was eating while his eyes were fixed on the screen.
In the rest of his life, this New Year's Day will definitely be the most memorable and unique one for Wen Shiyun!
"Make way, make way! The food is served!"
The little mirage dragon used its claws to hold the porcelain plate and brought the steaming dishes to the center of the table, then leaned over to Liang Qu's ear and spoke.
"County Magistrate Quan?"
Little Mirage Dragon shook his head: "He said we can talk after the boss finishes his meal, there is no rush."
"Is he outside?"
"Wait for my reply."
"No need to wait, just go there."
Liang Qu put down his chopsticks and said goodbye.
Outside the slide.
Smoke rose from the kitchen as the chefs in the palace on the treasure ship were busy cooking. The third prince took a turn and continued to serve dishes.
Liang Qu saw Quan Linghan outside Bingdao and said, "County Magistrate Quan, you didn't have a New Year's Eve dinner during the New Year. You said you have something to discuss. Is there something wrong with Bingjing Palace?"
"No, no, since we have agreed on it, there is no reason to regret it." Quan Linghan waved his hands repeatedly, "But why did Lord Liang come out by himself?"
"I'm worried that County Magistrate Quan might have something important to do and might be late."
"That really disturbs Lord Liang's interest." Quan Linghan looked embarrassed. He didn't want to waste time on small talk. He pointed at the blue cat and brown rat in the ice house and asked, "What did Lord Liang perform with the Dragon Spirit Silk?"
"Blue cat and brown mouse."
"Well, can you interpret other things?"
"Of course you can. A comic strip will do. The leader of the Quan tribe is a merman. He should know Long Lingxiao's characteristics better than I do, right?"
"No, no, no." Quan Linghan didn't know how to finish his words for a moment. "Master Liang, what I mean is, can we use a dragon spirit silk specifically, put it on the island, and let others see it..."
"make money?"
"Yeah!"
Quite business-minded.
Quan Linghan's business sense is unexpectedly sharp.
Selling shark silk?
It is indeed possible to open a large cinema using Long Lingxiao.
Jiangchuan Grand Theater.
Considering its unique geographical identity and political significance, perhaps the Holy Emperor will come to visit Jiangnan someday when he is free!
only……
"Is there any dragon spirit silk in Jiangchuan County?" Liang Qu was curious. "Dragon spirit silk requires mermaid colored scales. It can only be made by a large tribe with at least 5,000 mermaids, right?"
There are colorful scales on the mermaid's lower abdomen, just like a peacock spreading its tail to attract a mate. The size, luster and beauty of the scales represent the mermaid's "beauty value".
Therefore, the scales are shed every year, but the colorful scales do not. Once damaged, they cannot be restored for a long time. It is these colorful scales that are used to make Dragon Spirit Silk.
Furthermore, once the colorful scales are cut off, their spirituality will dissipate over time, and they must be collected all at once. The production conditions are very harsh, and five thousand is completely the limit. In Jiangchuan County, excluding the newly born little mermaids, the number of adult mermaids is just over three thousand, which is short of the number of one or even two tribes.
"Certainly not right now, but maybe not after the New Year."
Liang Qu reacted very quickly.
"Has Chief Quan found the mermaid tribe?"
"To be honest, there are indeed traces. At present, a tribe of more than 1,800 mermaids are now living in seclusion in the western region of Jianghuai Lake! I have sent people to negotiate with them, and there may be hope that they can move to Jiangchuan!"
