Chapter 341 Ocean Song
Princess Jianmiao sent more than just property. She also sent everyone an ocean song. The female fishman next to the old fishman came to perform the song, and the coral branch in her hand was actually some kind of musical instrument.
In Qixingdi, music is not just about simple entertainment and lyricism. Many classical pieces of music even have effects that pharmaceuticals cannot achieve.
Therefore, when the old fish man said that there were also ocean songs, everyone looked much more solemn. Even the busy engine crew was called to the deck. After making sure that everyone could hear it, the Deep Sea Singer began his performance.
The coral musical instrument in the hands of the fish-man singer is actually called "Coral Song". It was supposed to be waved in sea water, rotated at different angles, and perturbed to change the pitch. Several ends of the coral ring can sound together to play ever-changing chords.
Everyone on the Vermilion was unable to soak in the water and listen to music. But this did not faze the fish-man singer. She caused the water element to cover the coral sound, letting the light and agile music sound.
When the music just started playing, Fu Han immediately felt refreshed and exhausted. Although Fu Han has strong mental strength and has the help of refreshing drugs. But without rest for days, fatigue will continue to accumulate, which is unavoidable no matter what.
The music got rid of it, just like letting Fu Han have a nice meal and have a good sleep. A feeling of fullness and happiness suddenly filled my body. Fu Han also learned what it means to have lingering sounds lingering in his ears for three days, and not being able to recognize the taste of meat for three days.
This was a feeling that even the priests of the God of Beauty could not bring to Fu Han. Maybe it was because the function of the music was different.
But this is just a prelude. After the light prelude ended, the singer began to sing along...
Although the old fish man spoke in a clear and fluent manner, his voice was strange and his words were hoarse and unpleasant. And the voice of the Deep Sea Singer is truly heavenly!
She just opened her lips and teeth slightly, and then there was a very penetrating and loud high note that echoed on the deck! Combined with the sound of coral, it seems as if there is a gorgeous underwater scenery emerging before your eyes. Her singing style is very similar to that of a coloratura soprano in bel canto. However, her staccato is frequently tactful and her vocals are exceptionally gorgeous!
Fu Han had heard a saying. Among intelligent races, humans have the worst talents in music and dance. Only his calligraphy and painting skills are one or two ahead.
Now it seems that this statement is not unreasonable. The vocal quality of fish-men singers is indeed far better than that of humans, much better than the famous sopranos Fu Han knows! Fu Han had no way of knowing whether there was anyone in the Meishen Sect who could match him.
The beginning of the music is brisk and bright, like sailing on a sunny day. However, in the middle and late stages, the music also began to become sad. Although it is difficult to understand, it can still make people feel the sad mood.
After seven or eight minutes of playing the song, Fu Han clearly felt that his soul was more condensed and his mental power had also improved.
This improvement is usually permanent, but when you listen to the music again, the effect will not be as good as before, or even ineffective. The improvement effect also depends on the individual's ability to understand the music.
No matter how good the music is, it can't stop someone from hearing something wrong and hearing something different.
The song of the sea is indeed beautiful, and even those who did not benefit much from it applauded enthusiastically. This move shocked the fishman singer.
Fortunately, the old fishman was there. After he explained a few words to the singer, the singer calmed down, bowed and thanked him, and then stepped aside.
But at this time, Fu Han felt deeply regretful because he didn't know the meaning of Haiyang Song.
The old fish man also seemed to understand Fu Han's regret. He took the initiative to say: "I guess everyone didn't understand the main idea of the song. Let me explain it to everyone. In fact, this ocean song was specially selected by me. It tells the story of The story of our deep-sea race’s contact with your human race.”
"A long time ago, there was too much wind and waves on the sea. A fisherman who was driving a fishing boat accidentally fell into the sea, but he got back on the boat because of my tribe's rescue. My tribe also gave him a tortoiseshell amulet to protect him and return safely."
"The fisherman knew that the tortoise shell was precious, so he asked if he could exchange it for other things in the future. After thinking about it, my tribe allowed him to exchange it for Qiongju. From then on, my tribe regarded him as a friend and often waited for him to come to the sea. Change something.”
"At first, everything was fine. In addition to beautiful jade, he also came with agate and amber, and returned with many pearls and clams. Gradually, he became a rich man."
"But later, he heard others say that our Deep Sea people are ignorant, uncivilized, and weak and can be bullied. So he started to trade with us with some glass or fake jewelry."
"So, my people naturally stopped showing up to trade with him. It's just sad and sad that this good friendship broke up so easily... That's where the sadness you heard in the song comes from."
As he said that, the old fish man shook his head repeatedly.
Fu Han listened carefully at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Especially the reason why the last song is sad is really far-fetched.
Even if he said that the fisherman and the Deep Sea Tribe fell in love, and then the fisherman left and never came back, Fu Han thought it was reasonable. After all, the song comes first, and the sadness in the song is so sad... How could he say this?
At this time, the first mate lowered his voice and asked: "Do you understand?"
The captain nodded: "I understand, that old fish is planning us!"
Fu Han couldn't help laughing. The captain and first mate were indeed not easy to fool.
So the captain stood up and said: "You old guy, you don't have to say anything about how to organize us. We are just paid to run ships to transport goods for others. If you have anything to do, you can just say it. If you can't do it, money can't do it. I will return the things in full. Is it possible that I can still rob you?"
The old fish man thought about the four boxes that had been moved without a trace, and finally he could only sigh: "Okay... give me some face, there are so many subordinates!"
The captain smiled, and bent down to ask in a cooperative manner: "Then please invite this old guy to come upstairs with us to talk about business? How about your men inviting them to the restaurant for dinner?"
"Okay, that's the arrangement."
After that, the old fish-man said something to the other fish-men, and all the fish-men agreed one after another. Then the captain ordered Lao Ba and Shiliu to take the fish people to the restaurant.
After settling them in, the captain, first mate, Fu Han and the old fish man sat in the drafty captain's cabin.
…
As soon as he sat down, the captain didn't mince words and directly stated his principles: "As I just said, we are people who get paid to do things. However, people in the Ming Dynasty do not do secret things. What kind of goods are transported on my ship? If you don’t tell me clearly who you want to ship it to, I won’t agree.”
When saying these words, the captain couldn't help but glance at Fu Han. Fu Han smiled and scratched his cheek, as if nothing happened.
The captain continued: "Last time you came here, you were full of nonsense. Of course I don't need to listen to it. This time you come again... I can see your sincerity. I will put all your tricks back and tell the truth. You must Otherwise, I will have to ask Lao Jiu to see off the guests..."
The old fish man was also speechless. He also gradually realized that the strategies taught in the book were really not very useful in dealing with humans. In particular, "A gentleman deceives others, and a villain seduces them to benefit." These two items did not achieve the expected effect at all.
These people on the boat seemed to be neither gentlemen nor villains. In addition, he really had no choice, and knew that this trip must be done! So he could only calm down, grit his teeth and start telling the truth.
The name Jin Shizhou was really made up by him. The names of the deep-sea tribe only have one word at most. If translated, the name of the old fish man actually has the word "gold". The Deep Sea people will call him by his title.
He indeed once served as the grand bachelor of the Infinite Sea Kingdom and made suggestions for the fight against the Yongye Clan.
Academician Jin, who is familiar with human culture, fully recognizes the principle that the enemy of his enemy is his friend. He advocated asking for help from humans and forming an alliance to jointly fight against the Yongye tribe.
But... no one agreed with this suggestion. Because the story Jin Shizhou just told about the fisherman who used fake jewelry to fool the Deep Sea Tribe is true! And it is widely circulated among the Deep Sea Tribe. The Deep Sea Tribe generally believes that humans are liars and cannot be trusted.
Jin Shizhou knew that this view was extreme. He knows that the difference between people is the same as the difference between fishmen and fishmen.
In fact, there are liars and villains among the murlocs, but no murloc feels that he is the same as those liars. And once this kind of thing is applied to foreign races, it is quite logical to generalize.
And the leader of the country at that time was a very stubborn guy. There is no other thought in his mind except fighting against the Yongye clan.
As a great bachelor, he repeatedly proposed forming an alliance with humans, and finally annoyed the king. So he was stripped of his title and sent to live in shallower waters.
The depth of the sea area where the deep-sea people live is linked to their status. Letting Jin Shizhou live afloat is tantamount to derogation.
Although Jin Shizhou's heart is not cold, he can only live out the rest of his life as a rich man.
The lifespans of the Deep Sea Clan vary. A noble gold-scaled aristocrat like Jin Shizhou can also be considered an immortal race, and it is not a problem to live for 350 years.
Therefore, he could only watch the Deep Sea Clan's defeat and fall...
Until one day, Princess Jianmiao was sent to him by the deep sea royal family. Seeing the little princess who was less than three years old and only babbling, he knew that the so-called "kingdom" was already on his shoulders.
