Chapter 489: Lost Opportunity to Return to the Vast Sea.
After hearing Su Yixian praise her like this, Bai Xiaoxiao forgave her instantly, and she gave Su Yixian a thumbs up as if appreciative: "What a vision!"
Seeing this, Feng Wuxian and Xie Jinan, who worked hard to be the background board, almost wanted to poke themselves in the eyes, and they refused to watch such a spicy scene.
When a few people walked to the hall, there were many elders of the clan standing in the hall, and after Bai Xiaoxiao took Su Yixian and them to greet the elders of the clan one by one, several people followed the elders and walked towards the ancestral hall.
The merman's birthday banquet is generally more complicated, and Bai Xiaoxiao told Su Yixian and them in advance before.
When the merman has a birthday feast, he will invite his most important friends to enter the ancestral hall together, and after the merman is baptized with holy water, he will also receive blessings from his elders and friends.
After that, it is time to feast guests, the whole process is very grand, and it takes a long time, but in order to be smooth sailing in the future, the mermaids attach great importance to such a ceremony.
When the sharks came to the huge ancestral hall, it was a little different from what Su Yixian imagined.
I thought that the ancestral hall was a dimly lit room full of various spiritual positions, but the so-called ancestral hall here is not like that.
The ancestral hall here is a huge square with a high platform next to it with four pools filled with water, and in the middle of the high platform there is also a pond with lotus flowers in full bloom.
It is indeed rare to see lotus flowers blooming at the bottom of the sea, and when Su Yixian and several people saw such lotus flowers, they were all a little shocked.
However, this merman ancestral hall is also the first time they have come here, so they should indeed be surprised when they see such a rare thing.
Bai Xiao wrote that if they could be washed by the holy water of this lotus pond before they transformed, then they would not be cursed or ridiculed after their transformation in the future, because they would be blessed no matter whether they became male or female.
But if there is no merman who has experienced the washing of the holy water of the lotus pond, after the transformation, whether it is a man or a woman, there is no chance to have offspring with the same race.
If you can't get the blessing, you can only combine with other races, give birth to a shark with impure blood, and lose the opportunity to return to the vast sea from now on.
Although this statement cannot be accurately verified, the shark people still attach great importance to it.
After Bai Xiaoxiao and Su Yixian entered the ancestral hall, Su Yixian and the others found an inconspicuous position and stood in, while Bai Xiaoxiao walked on the high platform alone.
Her expression was serious and solemn, and her steps slowly climbed the stairs, which was completely different from the temperament she usually jumped out of.
When Bai Xiaoxiao walked up to the high platform, a red carp jumped out of the lotus pond, and then the carp jumped back into the lotus pond again under the gaze of everyone.
Bai Xiaoxiao on the high platform saw the red carp jumping back to the lotus pond, and his nervous forehead was covered with sweat.
If she couldn't catch the carp three more times, her status in the family would plummet.
Although there is a red carp here, the meaning of this carp is something they cannot ignore.
Because the fish leaps over the dragon gate, it symbolizes that their merman lineage has the opportunity to incarnate into a dragon in the future, although there are no gold-tailed mermaids in their clan now.
However, this custom has survived to this day, and the mermaids have always taken pride in catching carp, which here symbolizes the opportunity to change their bloodline.
Their merman clan has a precedent of turning into a dragon since ancient times, although now they lack aura, and if they want to become a dragon, it is no less than the level of mortal cultivation of immortals.
But leaving aside the external conditions, whether or not such an opportunity can be seized is the most important thing at the moment.
If he can successfully catch the red carp within three times, then he is undoubtedly a genius among the merman clan.
As long as it is a genius, the family is bound to attach great importance to it, which is why Bai Xiaoxiao is very nervous.
No matter how favored she was before, or how much she was valued, but once she didn't seize the opportunity on such an occasion, then her future fate was destined to be mediocre.
She is not willing to be mediocre, she also hopes to have a wider sky, just like Cousin Baiyu, to have another chance.
After Su Yixian, who was far away in the audience, felt Bai Xiaoxiao's unprecedented nervousness, she couldn't help but send a voice to cheer her up.
When Bai Xiaoxiao, who was a little overwhelmed, heard Su Yixian's cheering voice, she immediately looked in the direction of Su Yixian in surprise, and she quietly threw a look of help to Su Yixian.
Su Yixian was stunned for a moment, so he hurriedly continued to transmit the voice: "What's the matter?
Bai Xiaoxiao saw that the people next to him didn't notice Su Yixian, but he heard her voice clearly in his ears, so he immediately continued in a low voice: "It's wrong, the little carp refuses to jump out, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch it." ”
Hearing this, Su Yixian was stunned, she was also clear about catching carp, anyway, Bai Xiaoxiao told her everything that Bai Xiaoxiao should have said and shouldn't say before.
At that time, she also laughed and joked to her, what if the little carp was unwilling to jump out, it would never be possible for Bai Xiaoxiao.
That little carp is also a spiritual little carp, and it usually jumps out on its own initiative.
So all she had to do was to seize it at the right time, Bai Xiaoxiao had always been confident at that time, so Su Yixian didn't care.
When he heard Bai Xiaoxiao say this matter so anxiously, Su Yixian immediately began to think about countermeasures.
However, due to the rush of time, she couldn't go up to help at this time, so she continued to spread the voice when no one was paying attention: "Didn't I tell you before, the little carp doesn't want to come up, so you exert your strength in the water, and if it can't stand it, it will naturally jump up." ”
Su Yixian admits that this idea is a bit rancid, but there seems to be no better way at the moment.
After listening to Su Yixian's suggestion, Bai Xiaoxiao stomped her feet in a hurry, she didn't have the ability to exert force in the water at all now, these waters were different from ordinary water.
The water here is flowing from the abyssal sea, and she doesn't have the ability to transform yet, so she can't stir it at all.
Bai Xiaoxiao was about to cry, she didn't expect that at such a critical time, this little carp would be so disobedient.
"I can't, I can't stir the water. ”
Bai Xiao whispered back.
Su Yixian was stunned for a moment, she looked towards the high platform, and there seemed to be nothing different in the pool of water.
If it is really different, it belongs to those lotus flowers, Su Yixian felt that she could try it, after all, the position of the high platform should be within her ability.
