Chapter 417: The Battle of the Mermaids
"My mother?" Yu Sheng looked the cloth bag up and down, and saw that the material of the bag was almost yarn, and the color was blue to white frost.
The clothes made of this cloth are absolutely graceful and luxurious,
He turned back to Aunt Qing and said, "What kind of material is this, I'll make one for you when I go back." ”
"The name of this material is Jiao Silk Yarn, also known as Dragon Yarn..."Salted Fish bent over and jumped on the table, glanced at it and said its name.
"Who told you to say it, while turning over. "Just halfway through the words, the salted fish was thrown away for the rest of his life.
For the rest of his life, he was worried that he couldn't talk to Aunt Qing, and this salted fish was all trouble.
"That's right, it's the dragon yarn, named because it is worn on your mother, and its price is thousands of inches in the Great Wilderness. Aunt Qing said.
Yu Sheng was taken aback, "My mother, isn't her old man walking with tens of thousands of dollars hanging all day long?"
He touched the cloth bag, the material was very soft, and it must be very comfortable to wear, but it was too expensive, "It's not worth it." Yu Sheng said.
"The dragon yarn is not wet in the water, it is not dusty, and it has a price, there are only two places that can be seen on weekdays, do you say it is worth it?" Aunt Qing said.
"It's worth it. Yu Sheng said, "Outside the Wasteland King's Palace, where else can I see it?"
"Nanming Longxuan Palace!" Aunt Qing said, but the Longxuan Palace is isolated from the world, and there are very few dragon yarns that circulate except for regular offerings to the king of the Eastern Wilderness, who dominates the water.
"Dragon Silk Palace, what kind of place is that?" asked Yu Sheng suspiciously.
"Later, you open the bag first. Aunt Qing commanded.
As he said, he untied the rope and looked inside.
"Ho", Yu Sheng's eyes widened, only to see that it was full of tear-sized pearl-like things.
There are no forgeries in this era, so this thing is a very special pearl nine times out of ten.
"It's not worth much, but it's enough to get a piece of jewelry for my little aunt. Yu Sheng said that because of the flood of shellfish in the sea, pearls are not worth anything in the seaside city.
Aunt Qing stood up and took a look, "The bag is all mine, Xiao Yu'er is really generous." She snatched it.
The rest of her life was stunned, this bag was by no means a pearl, otherwise Aunt Qing, who was still sulking just now, would not have turned from yin to sunny so easily.
Aunt Qing took out a bead from the bag and saw that the luster of the bead was greater than that of pearls, white and translucent, which was very beautiful.
"There are sharks in the South China Sea, who live in water like fish, do not waste their achievements and weave, and their eyes can produce pearls when they cry. Aunt Qing played with it and explained to Yu Sheng, "This is Shark Pearl." ”
"Shark beads!" Cao'er and Bai Xing said in unison, looking at the beads in Aunt Qing's hand in surprise.
This thing is a treasure, not only beautiful, but also has spiritual power, or a magic weapon for arranging arrays, and even storing power, at least a thousand times.
The night before yesterday, if Aunt Qing had this thing, she would not be overwhelmed when she swung out the peony sword array, so that she fell asleep.
"It's weird. Salted fish jumped on the table again, "How can the dragon yarn and the shark beads appear in the gluttonous stomach, I am afraid that there is something strange in it." ”
"What's the matter?" for the rest of his life, he was puzzled by the fact that he ate everything, and it was not strange to eat this thing.
"It all started 4,000 years ago. Aunt Qing threw the beads back in her hand and tied the bag shut.
The shark bead is transformed by the merman's teardrops, and in order to get the shark beads, the merman must be made to cry.
The people who use the shark beads are not bad money, which makes the value of the shark beads high, so that many people do not hesitate to take risks to enter Nanming and catch sharks as slaves.
After catching the merman, he will not let him die, he will be whipped all day long, abused, and even made the female a plaything, and let him cry when he sells himself to make money, so that he can make money every day.
This is a sure-beating, profitable deal, which naturally attracts many people, martial artists, enlightened people, half-immortals, and even immortals and acquired gods.
Later, many land monsters also joined in.
A group of mermaids, I don't know how many people to feed, so dozens of cities have been built on the banks of Nanming.
Among them, there is the mermaid city, which is dedicated to the mermaid and the female mermaid in the water for the industry, and there is the Jiao Silk City, which forces the merman to weave clothes and cry tears.
With their cruelty, constant enslavement and insatiable greed for the mermaids, they finally provoked a counterattack from the mermaids and the Arowana, and the battle of the mermaids began four thousand years ago.
At first, the merman was victorious, destroying many sea ships, and once caused the business of shark beads in many cities to plummet.
But the decrease in sharks has made the price of shark beads rise, and higher prices have made more people and demons crazy, and more demons and people have joined.
Later, not only the land monsters, but also the water monsters were also moved, and they joined the business of catching sharks as slaves.
One of the most frightening for the merman is the three-legged turtle, which is combined with people, sits on the back, and enters the merman's realm as if entering a no-man's land.
Since then, the mermen have been defeated and retreated, until this carnival of encirclement and suppression of the mermen attracted the attention of the king of the Eastern Wilderness.
A tsunami swept through Nanming, flooding the cities that relied on sharks as their business, killing the immortals, people, and gods who were evil.
The Shui tribes were also punished one after another, and the Shui tribes who joined the slave business even had almost exterminated the clan.
The three-legged turtles of that clan have never been out since then, and they are ashamed of other clans.
As for the merman clan, they were moved to the depths of Nanming by the King of the Eastern Wilderness, and the Longxuan Palace, the palace of the King of the Eastern Wilderness, was isolated from the world and never appeared in people's field of vision for four thousand years.
This battle is not worth writing about at all in the history of gods, demons, and humans fighting all year round, and slaughtering cities and exterminating clans.
The King of the Eastern Wilderness even wiped out the Longbo clan, and these cities were not enough to be recorded in her history, but this battle was still recorded in the history written by Taishi City.
Because the slave business began from this, there were no slaves because of the war (defeated and enslaved), but because of the slaves, there were slaves to the war.
Listening to Aunt Qing's narration of this history, he listened to it for the rest of his life, although he had already heard a lot of these stories of destroying the city and destroying the clan.
But this time is different, because his mother, the king of the Eastern Wilderness, the person he will become in the future, uses the monstrous waves to tell the world that I am the lord of the four rings.
"Sooner or later, I will let the whole world know that the whole world's fishponds have been contracted by you. "After the rest of her life became the queen of the Eastern Wilderness, she said to her little aunt.
Aunt Qing looked at each other with white eyes, what a mess this is.
Actually, this history is not as simple as it seems. Said the blind storyteller who sat next to him, blindfolded, waiting to uncover the moment.
Yu Sheng looked up at him, "What, there's something more complicated?"
The blind storyteller nodded, "The battle of the mermaids four thousand years ago has other sayings in Taishi City, but it has not been spread out because of the face of the two kings. ”
These storytellers are the most well-informed, and they also know the most about the legends that circulate in Taishi City.
Yu Sheng then asked, "Does Taishi City have any other interpretation of this battle?"
The blind storyteller hesitated, "We heard this statement when we traveled to Taishi City back then, but we didn't dare to guarantee that it was true. ”
For the rest of his life, the storyteller felt that it was better to be cautious, after all, his identity was unusual.
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. Yu Sheng said.
Taishi City, take history as the city, talk about history all day long for fun, when the storyteller traveled, occasionally the people of Taishi City said different opinions on this history.
They believe that the so-called battle of the mermaid is a temptation of the king of the southern wilderness to the king of the eastern wilderness.
The bank of Nanming is the territory of the king of the Southern Wilderness, when people, demons, and gods borrowed money to do the mermaid business, borrowed money to build a city, and even borrowed money to carry out a mermaid war.
As for the shark beads collected, as well as a series of businesses centered on the shark people, they had to pay a lot of taxes to the king of the Southern Wilderness.
In order to expand their business and strive for maximum profits, many cities will continue to borrow money from money banks after seeing the benefits, so that they are in debt.
Later, the king of the Eastern Wilderness flooded the cities, and everyone, demons, and gods had nothing to return to, and only the king of the Southern Wilderness made a lot of money.
The king of the Eastern Wilderness later robbed the treasury of the King of the Southern Wilderness, but there was no reason for this.
"There are even rumors," the storyteller said in a solemn and low tone, "that behind the slave business that arose later, there was a rich village, and the king of the Southern Wilderness was promoting. ”
