Bai Ya paused briefly, thought for a moment, and took the opportunity to sort out his emotions.

"I see the light." He said, "Overflowing from the orb." And then...... Time all around me seemed to stop, and the dragons that were coming at me stopped moving. I lost consciousness and fell into a dream. It was probably at that time that I was saved, and I didn't really wake up until just now. ”

Miss Quan, who listened with relish, suddenly interrupted at this moment: "Actually, I want to know - why is it so coincidental, but when you are here, the essence in the orb hatches?" Your spiritual power hasn't been snatched away, has it? ”

Bai Ya was stunned for a moment. But only for a moment.

"Nope." He said calmly, "I think, maybe because I broke it...... Maybe I'm destroying it and you're going to lose your treasure. If you want to be responsible...... I'll admit that I didn't do a good job. Not only did I fail to bring the treasure back, but I caused you to lose it sooner. ”

However, the old man didn't seem to react much. She seemed to believe Bai Ya's statement, and she didn't mind anything. She shook her head slightly.

"Foreign involvement is bound to change. That's what I guessed. Presumably, Bai Gongzi also did it unintentionally. At its core is the Dragon Ball, and the cloak of tears must have bound it. You destroy it, and it will come out of its shell. But...... The treasure of our clan, no matter how strong it is, how did you open it? ”

"With a knife." Bai Ya said simply.

The old man's gaze swept over the knife behind his back and asked, "Can you see your weapon?" ”

Bai Ya agreed. He drew his twin knives and handed them over. The old man carefully touched the blade, looked at it repeatedly, and sighed: "It is indeed a good knife." Today's craftsmanship is much stronger than in the early years. However, it can be seen that the craftsman who can forge such weapons must not be ordinary people. ”

"Hmm."

"But with such a knife, you can't cut off the orb."

The old man said, and returned the knife to him. Bai Ya took it quietly and did not speak. The old man continued:

"It seems that the old man still underestimated your kung fu."

“…… You're overrated. ”

"You just said that you still dreamed?"

The old merman seemed to be more concerned about this matter, and when Frost Moon Jun heard it, he seemed to pay more attention to it. He took a step closer, ready to hear what Bai Ya would say. So Bai Ya told the strange dream in 1510, although it was a little difficult. Expressing the picture in words as it is, it is admittedly a bit difficult, and Bai Ya can only convey a general meaning. Fortunately, the other people's comprehension is not so bad, and they can understand the picture he wants to express to some extent.

After all, it was such a big dream.

Bai Ya finally added: "I also saw a young man in white. But it was still a momentary delusion, and I might have woken up. ”

"Like a god." Miss Izumi sighed, "You can see everything, you can hear everything, and there is nothing you don't know." ”

"It's the first time I've felt so tired from dreaming." Bai Ya shrugged, only to find that his shoulder blades were still hurting.

The old merman was thoughtful.

"That's a dragon around the island." She said, "You see it...... That's the little dragon of the year. ”

"Really?!"

Qi Huan and Liu Shenghan were shocked, and Bai Ya couldn't react for a while. He froze and didn't speak, Qi Huan hurriedly asked:

"How is that possible? He's not...... Missing? Without dragon scales, he can't turn back into a dragon again, and can only live as a merman. And after all these years, he still ......"

"Of course alive. There is a saying among us sharks, which translates into the words of you humans, that is: 'Sharks are 10,000 years, and dragons are 10,000 years.' This means that sharks have a lifespan of up to thousands of years, and it is normal for dragons to be tens of thousands of years old. These years are just a snap of a finger for the dragon clan. I'm afraid that kid doesn't want to live as a merman anymore...... He returned to the appearance of the dragons. It has no scales, and the barnacle starfish becomes its scales; It has no fluff, and the seaweed anemone becomes its fluff; It loses its horns, and the reef rocks become its horns. The dragon silk wrapped around its body, so that it would not be eaten clean by shrimp, crab and snails. ”

"Its essence will return to its body." Liu Shenghan's face became solemn, "Then it may wake up and bring irreversible damage to the Nine Heavens Kingdom and the nearby islands...... How can this be? ”

"I can't say for sure. Perhaps, the new young soul no longer knows its own body; Perhaps, this deformed and fragile body will not accept reincarnated souls; Maybe it will wake up and won't want to move, or it won't. Everything happens, and no one can stop it until the mutation comes. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. What's more, the thoughts of the dragon clan are not something that little creatures like us can speculate on. ”

Bai Ya's face was a little ugly. He didn't expect that his mistake would lead to such a big mistake. absolutely

"If one day your homeland falls, I will not escape the blame."

"Then let's wait until that day actually comes."

The open-mindedness of the old man is incredible.

They were all silent for a while, for a long time. There was a strange silence around, except for the sound of the sea, which beat the shore regularly, singing its own song. What this sings is known only to its own people.

"I'll tell you another secret."

"What?"

Several people came over and looked curiously at the old mermaid in the water.

"The islands of the Nine Heavens are all alive."

"Alive, alive?"

That sounds a little creepy. Before they could fully comprehend the meaning of the sentence, the old man suddenly laughed. Whether it is a human old man or a merman old man, the smile is the same, although his face is full of wrinkles, he is as happy as a child. The old man explained:

"It's not like you and me, living like plants and trees. They have their own way of 'living'. We mermaids can sense it, and that's the senses we all have. We hear them moving. Why did the old man know that the hidden dragon was still growing? Because it is indeed alive, its breath and pulse affect every corner of the Sea of the Nine Heavens. The nearby islands change shape and orientation as it grows, and even the huge main island rotates at an extremely slow speed...... But all this happened when the jewelry began to hatch inside the clams. I'm afraid it's the inaudible sound of the soul, which the body hears, that causes such a slow restlessness. Although all this did not have much impact on the creatures of the sea and land, it did happen. ”

It dawned on them. Many inexplicable and unknown events and questions were answered at this moment.

The shipwreck they encountered when they landed on the island was probably caused by the deep-sea dragon. The first time they met the islanders, the faithful believers of the sea god, the two children, Xiaoju and Xiaojie. They are offered as offerings, as loyal devotees who are about to become Nakshatras, and need to be offered every once in a while. I'm afraid that the Yaksha is using the power of the dragon clan as an excuse to deceive the trust of the people of the fishing village under the guise of the abnormal weather that will already occur. Many ships were also sunk in these shipwrecks.

As for Jun Chaojiu and Liu Shenghan, as well as Bai Ya's father, and more people who landed on the island, the landing positions of all ships were not fixed. Although the route is almost identical every time, the corresponding position may not be the same when you come into contact with the main island. If you think about it carefully, there is no map in the Nine Heavens Kingdom, and it has happened in the past ten years.

Because maps no longer have relative positions to consider.

This is indeed shocking news. All of them were thinking, thinking about their arrival on the island, and occasionally there was an exchange of testimony in a few words. The rest of the time, several people were a little dazed and fell into their memories, struggling to get up in the torrent of chaotic thoughts, constantly moving upstream, combing through the messy river, and making everything in their minds more vivid, vivid, and real.

When he came back to his senses, the old merman was gone. I don't know when I went back.

The Izumi girl also disappeared, and the mermaid who was watching them from a distance was nowhere to be seen.

But several people sat here in a daze, and even Frost Moon Jun didn't say anything. However, he never said much. They sat here as if they had listened to a grand and complex epic, and they were so immersed in it that they could not pluck their feet out of it for a long time.

Until the sun goes down.

"It's time for us to go." Sheng Han suddenly said, "Let's go find Aoyan." ”

Yes, it's time to pick her up in Wuguo. I don't know how she is doing, and how she handles those complicated things.

No matter what, people should live in the moment. Thinking of this, Qi Huan first stretched and yawned, and then lazily agreed with Sheng Han's words. The latter held the small but heavy clams in his arms, as if he were still thinking about it.

"We've got to bring this stuff back." Bai Ya was very clear, "What we brought to them can be regarded as an explanation." After all, we all ...... the relics and remains of the horses."

Frost Moon Jun has probably seen the clams, or maybe he has always been indifferent, and he has no intention of studying this thing more. The remaining three were head to head, carefully examining the shell, which was not small. The snow-white clams have a bright vein on them, which becomes more conspicuous in the steady light of the setting sun on the land. It extends to the roots of the shellfish, and half of it has been jaded, with the warmth brought by time.

Qi Huan said curiously: "I haven't looked at it carefully before...... I've seen some clams ornaments, but not many with gold threads. This gold wire is to be polished into beads, and it will be worth a lot. ”

"Listen, you money-seeker." Bai Ya glanced at him.

Qi Huan scratched his nose: "I'm discovering its value." ”

With that, he took the shell from Sheng Han's hand and looked at it. At the junction of the jade part and the ordinary clams, there is indeed a golden vein, showing a faint semi-permeable texture, like a faint blood vessel on the back of a human hand. He touched it with his fingertips, and couldn't help but think of the beautiful golden scales on the old merman's body. The color of the gold thread almost dissolves in the twilight.

It is supposed to be one of the magic weapons.
