Chapter 117: Prisoner of Shock
There is a country under the sea, the people live under the seabed, the sea is the sky, the sand is the earth, there are no four seasons, and there is no sun, moon and stars.
There are two forms of sea dwellers, and they can switch between fish and people at will.
They live under the sea, but they don't really like the water because they don't like it to be fish.
But if they stay in the water a little longer, they will be beaten back into human form.
If they stay outside of the sea for too long, they will get sick.
They can only live in the undersea kingdom built by their ancestors.
It rains all year round, allowing them to exist in human form in the muddy, gloomy, icy realm.
This is not the hardest part, but the hardest thing to endure is death under the curse.
Shocking, if a woman is pregnant, if she gives birth to a son, she must be a twin, but a daughter will not.
This seems to be a good thing, but the bad part is that the twins will inevitably die when they become adults, and the one who dies is the better one.
The inhabitants of the undersea country are often very talented, and any random one is much better than any demon or fairy.
If it weren't for the curse, they would have the confidence to become the overlord of heaven and earth, the master of all living beings.
It's a pity that they can't get rid of the curse, and because of the curse, they don't have the strength to plot anything else.
Their lifespan is much longer than that of humans, and they are considered adults at the age of 100, but they are not longer than 500 years.
Women are even more miserable, often dying at the time of childbirth.
As a result, the number of people in the Cool Country is getting smaller and smaller, and I am afraid that it will not be too long before the country will be destroyed naturally.
The message left by the ancestors said that they were cursed.
The reasons are somewhat similar to those of the Sea of Bitterness, they are all unruly and easy to kill.
But the ancestors of the bitter sea are gods, and they seem to be demons.
If the legend is true, then it is said that the gods and demons acted in very different ways.
The ancestors of the bitter sea were exiled to the bitter sea by the gods, except for restricting their freedom and preventing them from haunting the heavens and the earth at will, but it did not make matters worse.
The demons are much more ruthless, not only making them non-demons, not humans, and non-demons, but also viciously reducing their lifespan, and invisibly playing with their lives.
Generations of Desolate Nation lords have been trying to find a way to break the curse, but until now, when there are only more than a thousand people left in Desolate Country, they still haven't thought of a way to cure the root cause.
There is no cure, but there is a cure.
That is to find a soul that is compatible with oneself, and use magic to transfer one's curse to others.
This method of diversion is vicious, risky and helpless.
First of all, you have to throw away your own skin, merge your own soul with the soul of others, and slowly devour the soul of others and occupy the body of others.
It's a way to get out of the way.
The people of the Cool Country don't know whose hand the curse is, but thousands of years have passed, no matter what they do, no matter where they go, they can always feel that there is a pair of invisible and malicious eyes watching each of them.
They call it the 'Cursed Eye'.
In order to fool the ubiquitous 'Cursed Eye', the process of soul exchange is extremely slow.
In the early stage, the people of the Chilled Nation had to give up their minds and let the 'Cursed Eye' think they were dead, and then find an opportunity to awaken their own souls and devour the souls of others, and survive elsewhere in the form of others.
And then there's the succession.
In order to continue the bloodline of their own clan, they had to marry mortals and give birth to offspring with impure blood.
Even if they have been wronged to this point, they still can't deceive the Cursed Eye.
As long as their souls are still in shock, the woman will die in childbirth, and the birth will be twins, and the one who will die when she is crowned, and the remaining one will not live to be fifty years old.
When this method failed, the frightened Juju clan let out a cry of sorrow, feeling that there was no hope in sight.
Some even suggested suicide.
Rather than watching the cold slowly die, it is better to do it yourself, which can be regarded as a kind of resistance under helplessness.
Naturally, this proposal did not pass.
In desperation, they thought of another way.
It's also a soul exchange, but this time it's to let the souls of others devour your own souls.
On the surface, it looks as if they are dead, but in reality they still exist, but they don't even know it.
After that, those who have a frightened soul in their bodies will erase the memories of this period and put them back into the world, and awaken the souls that belong to the cold soul at the moment before they die, and then enter the cycle of reincarnation.
This method is very risky, and it does not always succeed, and even if it does, it is extremely rare for people to still carry chilling memories after reincarnation.
Because after reincarnation, their souls are free from the curse, but they are not really Shocked.
Most of them have become ordinary people, born with a love and hatred for the sea, and spend their lives in chaos.
In the world now, there are many shocked descendants.
The Blue Sea Clan is the most prosperous and excellent existence among them.
It's just that the excellence is also relative to ordinary people, and compared with the frightened family, it can be described as unbearable.
The Shocking Nation hates mortals, and they have to protect their descendants.
The so-called goddess is one of the ways to take care of her.
The Cool Clan has been living in self-loathing for a long time.
Those who are disgusted even by themselves are not to mention others.
In a word, Chill is a cynical race.
The official ship that disappeared earlier was taken away by the shock.
They felt ashamed of their status as mortals, and after that, they began to look for cultivators.
It is not easy for them to achieve their goals when they cultivate on land, but they have an absolute advantage at sea, especially in the sea above their homeland.
The missing guards were trapped at the bottom of the ocean.
It's not easy to devour a practitioner's soul.
Many people would rather die or die together if they have the opportunity.
And they had to keep the cultivators awake, after all, the original intention of the Shocking Liang people was not to devour their souls, but to use their souls to free themselves.
The Cool Clan kept trying, failing, rising hope, and falling into despair......
In short, this is a small country where the eggs hurt so much that people regret growing eggs.
The Cool Clan has been living in entanglement and pain, as if they will never be able to completely liberate.
These things were all told to Gong Yuqing slowly by Liang Yu later.
At that time, she was already in the undersea country of the Frightened Clan, and she was gathered together with those who should not have come, and her life was also full of entanglement and pain.
The brothers quarreled on the boat that day, and the man in white turned his anger on Sanqi and the others, and put them in a cold cell with her.
The only good thing about being in the cell was that the man in white had her body and soul together.
