Chapter 109: The Mysterious Shark Clan
Mingyue and Feng Chengcheng carried a large string of crabs and returned to the old uncle's house, intending to cook a crab feast.
The old lady washed them, put them in a pot and boiled them, and brought out a full pot and put it on the table. Mingyue invited the eldest lady and the old man to eat together.
The eldest lady said with a smile: "The child's father went fishing early in the morning, and we locals don't eat such small crabs very much, so you eat slowly." ”
The eldest mother brought out a pot of porridge, a plate of fried dried fish, and a plate of pickles, and said kindly: "You will use a little first, and when his father comes back from fishing in the afternoon, the eldest mother will help you get some delicious food." ”
Mingyue and Feng Chengcheng sat down, eating fragrant porridge with salted dried fish and side dishes, and nibbling on the crabs they caught, and suddenly felt extremely delicious and satisfied. It's just that although these crabs are delicious, they have less meat and are very difficult to eat.
Mingyue hadn't eaten much crabs, and although the shells were more fleshy and less, she still nibbled on them with relish.
Feng Chengcheng patiently helped her open the shell, and then picked out the small crab meat from the crab legs and body little by little, and handed it to her to eat.
The two talked and laughed while eating, and before they knew it, an hour had passed.
After the two of them finished eating the crab feast and helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, the old man came back from fishing, and Feng Chengcheng went over to help carry the fish back.
After Feng Chengcheng left, Mingyue saw that the eldest lady took out some things the size of a pu fan and looked extremely hard to polish, and asked curiously: "Auntie, these things look so strange, what are they used for?" ”
The eldest lady pointed to the various weapons placed in front of the house and said, "These are animal scales, which contain mana, and we use them to make weapons, which are hard and sharp, and are very popular with immortal cultivators. ”
Mingyue picked up a dagger, saw that the blade was shining with cold light, and the surface was glowing with a dark blue luster, and sighed: "What animal is so powerful?" ”
The eldest lady smiled and said, "Our Fusang tribe has been famous for the weapons we manufacture since ancient times, and the scales of these animals can only be collected by our Fusang tribe. ”
Mingyue suddenly remembered that the gray-haired young man she saw at the Jindan Festival before was selling this weapon with a dark blue luster, and she also bought a spirit snake sword herself, could it be that the gray-haired young man was from this Fusang clan?
Mingyue was thinking about it when someone outside walked in and shouted, "Dad, mother, I'm back." ”
The eldest lady greeted her happily when she heard this, took the burden in the young man's hand and said with a smile: "Huang'er is back?" ”
As soon as Mingyue raised her head, she and the man were stunned, and they pointed at each other at the same time and said, "Why are you here?" ”
Mingyue put down the dagger and said with a smile: "That, brother, is this your home?" ”
The gray-haired young man nodded and said, "Yes, how did you get here?" ”
Mingyue said embarrassedly: "In Xia Mingyue, I accidentally got lost and stayed here." May I ask my brother's surname? ”
The gray-haired young man smiled: "In Xia Xiuhuang, Miss Mingyue, we are really fateful." May I ask you, are you the Shushan disciple Mingyue who tested the poison and developed the method of isolating the plague? I didn't expect you to be quite ambitious at such a young age. ”
Mingyue smiled modestly: "Brother Xiu really knows a lot, and he is below, but that is just a coincidence." As he spoke, he called a wooden basin of water and said, "Brother Xiu, is the Jindan Festival over?" You've sold out of weapons? Wash off the dust and take a break. ”
Xiu Huang looked at her delicate and beautiful face, and was suddenly a little dazed, he nodded and said: "I'll be back when I'm almost sold out, if Miss Ming likes Fusang Village, you can play here for a few more days before leaving, the scenery here is beautiful, and you can be a guide for the girl below." ”
Mingyue was just about to speak, Feng Qingcheng and the old man walked in with a large basket of seafood, the old man saw Xiuhuang and said in surprise: "Huang'er is back, have all the weapons been sold?" ”
Xiuhuang stepped forward and took the basket in the old man's hand and said, "Dad, most of them are sold out, and this time the things are selling very well." ”
The old man smiled: "Well, don't be presumptuous The villagers have been busy for many days, very good, very good, and I will share the benefits with them later." ”
Xiuhuang nodded, saw Feng Qicheng, hugged his fists and said, "It turned out to be the Danmen elder of the Shushan Immortal Sect, and he has been looking up for a long time. ”
Feng Chengcheng said: "Brother Xiuhuang turned out to be the son of the Fusang clan. ”
Xiu Huang sighed and said: "What kind of son, it's just a person from the village." ”
When the old man heard Xiu Huang say the identity of Feng Chengcheng, his eyes looked at Feng Chengcheng with a hint of vigilance, and his face became cold, and he said, "If Elder Feng is fine, let's leave Fusang Village today." ”
Xiu Huang said: "Dad, these two disciples of Shushan Immortal Sect are all friends of Huang'er. It is also pleasant to have friends from afar. In the afternoon, a hearty dinner was prepared, and I invited them to a light meal before leaving. ”
The old man looked like he wanted to say something, sighed deeply, and went to prepare dinner with his aunt with an ugly face.
Mingyue and Feng Qingcheng glanced at each other awkwardly, and they didn't know why the old man was in such a hurry to let them go.
Xiuhuang said: "The scenery of Fusang Village is beautiful, so it is better to take the two of you around the neighborhood." ”
The three of them slowly walked out of Fusang Village, and along the way, villagers kept greeting Xiuhuang affectionately, calling "Good patriarch!" But their eyes when they looked at Mingyue and Feng Chengcheng were full of hostility.
This Xiuhuang is already the patriarch of the Fusang clan at a young age, so it can be seen that he has some skills.
The three of them came to the sea, the sea that was calm and waveless just now, but at this time it was rough, and a wave of waves was high and crashed towards the shore, and the sky was full of dark clouds, and a storm was coming.
Xiu Huang turned his head and looked at Feng Chengcheng and Mingyue steadily, and his face suddenly became very serious and asked, "The two of you came to Fusang Village thousands of miles away, what are you talking about?" It shouldn't just be a sightseeing trip, right? Is it also for the shark beads? ”
Feng Qingcheng and Mingyue glanced at each other in surprise, and the two of them asked at the same time, "Shark Pearl?" What shark beads? ”
Xiu Huang sighed deeply and said: "The two of them are from the Xianmen of Shu Mountain, and they are also friends in the next place, and the origin of this Fusang clan is also related to the legendary merman clan......
Feng Qingcheng asked in surprise: "Could it be that the Fusang clan is the ancient shark clan?" ”
Xiuhuang nodded heavily, and told the two about the origin of the Fusang clan.
It turns out that the Fusang tribe is the legendary shark tribe in ancient times. In ancient times, the merman race was a mysterious sea tribe creature that lived independently of the human race, the demon race, and the demon race, and lived independently in the sea.
The shark people have the world's attention to the world treasure shark beads, the shark beads gather the tears of the ancient ancestors for generations of shark people, so it also gathers the spiritual power of generations of shark people, legend has it that mortals can easily cultivate the supreme god realm with this treasure.
The merman clan has been responsible for guarding the sea passage from the Protoss to Penglai Wonderland for generations, and is in charge of the domain of the four seas, which was once beautiful.
In ancient times, the war between man and demon broke out, and the merman clan, as the guardian of the god race, was also severely damaged in the war between man and demon. After the disappearance of the gods and demons, the Penglai Wonderland also disappeared, and the few remaining shark tribes were worried that the human race would covet the treasure of the merman clan, so they took the shark bead incognito and changed to the Fusang tribe to live in seclusion near Penglai Island.
The mermaid people have survived and multiplied to this day, forming Fusang Village with a population of hundreds today.
More than 100,000 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Shark Race has gradually disappeared into the long river of history, and few people know that the Fusang Tribe, who are isolated from the world in the depths of the isolated island, is the Shark Tribes in ancient times.
However, just last month, a mysterious man in black came to the Fusang tribe, who pointed out the true identity of the Fusang tribe as soon as he opened his mouth, and demanded that the Fusang tribe must hand over the shark pearl within a month, otherwise they would come to slaughter the village.
Xiu Huang said worriedly: "In the next time, I went to participate in the Jindan Conference and sold the shark weapons that the villagers had worked hard to accumulate for several lifetimes, just to secretly move the Fusang clan away after saving enough silver. ”
Mingyue couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xiu, what is the shark lin?" Could it be the scales on the merman's body? But aren't you human? ”
Xiu Huang sighed and said: "The merman is indeed the scale that has receded from the merman race, and the merman race was not originally the appearance of the human race, but half human and half fish. ”
Feng Chengcheng asked, "Then how do you become a human race?" ”
Xiu Huang said: "The place where the shark race leans will turn into a human form is because of the power of the shark bead. ”
It turns out that in ancient times, the mermaid people lived in the sea, and they were indeed half-human and half-fish. Later, the merman tribe discovered that before the merman reached the age of ten, as long as the merman was nourished by the shark bead for a year, the merman's scales would slowly retreat from the merman's body, and the fish's tail would gradually evolve into the shape of human legs and live on land. As the mermaids grew up, they became the same as the Terrans. This is the reason why the Fusang tribe has lived in the human race for so long, and no one knows that they are actually the shark tribe.
However, before the age of ten, the lower body of the merman tribe still looks like a fishtail, so the merman tribe before the age of ten generally does not let out of this Fusang village. Before the age of ten, the mermaids have large, hard scales on their tails, and they must live in water half of the time, otherwise they will fall ill due to lack of water and thirst.
After Xiuhuang finished speaking, he drew a trick towards the void, and a strange sea area appeared in the void in front of Feng Chengcheng and Mingyue, surrounded by reefs on all sides, and in the wide sea water in the middle, there were dozens of children with human bodies and fish in the sea water playing freely, walking through, and jumping.
Mingyue looked at those legendary mermaids, that is, mermaids, in amazement, and her eyes widened in surprise.
Xiuhuang stretched out his hand to hide the scene in the void, sighed and said: "These are the children of the Shark Tribe, who have not yet fully transformed into human form, who have been raised in the secret sea area of the Shark Clan, and after they have reached the age of ten, they have been irradiated by the Shark Beads and completely transformed into human form, and then they can start to live in Fusang Village." ”
Mingyue asked, "Could it be that the shark bead is actually a treasure specially used to change the physique of the shark race?" ”
Xiu Huang said: "Yes and no. The shark bead can indeed change the constitution of the merman, so that the giant tail of the merman can be turned into the shape of the legs of the human. However, the shark pearl is a strange treasure condensed from the tears of countless mermen, in addition to being able to turn the fishtail of the merman into legs, the huge aura and energy contained in it can also help the merman people cultivate to the supreme fairyland. Once the shark beads are lost, the merman clan will not only be able to live in the sea forever, but will also be unable to cultivate normally. ”
Mingyue sighed and said, "Then you Fusang people, the immortal power is above the Upper Immortal Realm?" It's amazing. ”
Xiuhuang said: "It's just that it has a special effect on the merman clan, and some mermen are indeed like this." ”
Mingyue said with a face full of adoration: "Wow, you mermaid clan is really powerful!" Brother Xiu, what realm have you cultivated? ”
Xiu Huang smiled and did not speak.
Feng Chengcheng asked, "Who is the person who asked you to hand over the shark pearls?" How did the other party know that your Fusang tribe is the merman clan? ”
Xiu Huang said: "One evening last month, suddenly a black-clothed and masked man flew from the sword, and that person said that our Fusang clan is actually the ancient absconding shark clan, and ordered us to hand over the shark beads, otherwise we will be wiped out. We don't know exactly who the other party is. But one thing is certain, the other party is a demon clan, and the demon power is very strong, and no one in Fusang Village is its opponent. ”
"Demons?" Feng Chengcheng and Mingyue asked in surprise at the same time, and the two glanced at each other in surprise.
Feng Chengcheng asked, "How can you tell that the black-clothed masked man must be a demon?" ”
Xiu Huang said solemnly: "The merman race has also disappeared for more than 100,000 years, and it does not exist in this world. The reason why we judged that person was a demon clan was, of course, our merman clan's method. ”
