It is almost a sure thing that Zhijiao Ji will become the new lord of the country.

The big fish on the mermaid's side is too strong, and the demons in the sea country dare not disobey him.

Like the hand-washed ghost on the strait, his strength is obviously not weak, but after being taught a lesson by climbing the stairs to crusade, he is also completely honest and does not dare to covet the position of the lord of the sea country anymore.

Later, rumors such as "the third statue is not a god descendant, but a material, as long as you find it, you will have the power to ascend to the position of the lord of the sea country", and not long after Zhi Jiaoji took the throne, it was self-defeating.

Nearly a hundred years have passed in a flash.

Childish Jiaoji grows into a transcendent leader.

She is a statue of the Sect, with natural majesty and grace, her eyes are like a deep ocean, full of endless wisdom and insight, and her singing voice is as soft as the waves of the sea, which can calm the raging waves.

With her leadership and far-reaching wisdom, the mermaid queen has kept the sea nation in unimaginable stability and harmony.

The Queen's way of governing is full of wisdom and justice. She listened to the voice of every clansman, respected every decision, and performed its own duties in the operation of various ministries of the maritime state. Under her rule, the Sea Kingdom ushered in a prosperous era of harmony among the demons.

It's a pity that such days didn't last long.

A catastrophe has come to the sea country.

An outside force has intervened here, the Yin God from Yellow Springs.

In fact, it is not a top-level Huangquan Yin God combat power, it is only a small part of the Huangquan God who survived the last God War and is already very weak in itself.

However, this kingdom of gods has been peaceful and closed for too long, and the demons above the sea kingdom are simply unable to resist the divine power of the true gods.

So the Yin Gods of Huangquan began to conquer the city, and they encroached on part of the territory of the Sea Kingdom, enslaved and corrupted some of the Sea Kingdom demon clans for their own drive.

The ashes of the Yellow Springs were rekindled here, and the battle situation above the Sea Kingdom escalated and intensified.

The general who defended on the side of the sea country was naturally the most courageous big fish to climb the building.

Before the advent of Huangquan, Denglou was undefeated in the battle of Haiguo, but in the face of Huangquan, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Those who took refuge in the Yellow Springs were eroded by the breath of the Yellow Springs, and their combat effectiveness after blackening was not the same as before, even if they climbed the stairs and were brave, it was useless, and the resistance of the Sea Kingdom was defeated and retreated, and in the end they could only barely hold the area near the three islands of Zongxiang......

……

Above the sea, which has become a little muddy.

Another battle between the Hai Clan and the Huangquan vassals ended, and the Hai Nation barely won and resisted the attack.

After the war, the big fish climbed the tower and sat quietly on a rock, the traces on the battle armor were mottled, the edges and corners were unyielding, and his figure looked extraordinarily large and unshakable in the faint moonlight.

"Ugh."

The sea general sighed.

A small-scale victory really cannot solve the current predicament of the sea state, it is nothing more than a last-minute breath.

"Lord Ascending." One of his subordinates stepped forward cautiously, "We caught the hand wash ghost, and he shouted to see you." ”

"Bring him here."

The legend of the hand-washed ghost exists in Kagawa Prefecture in reality, and it is said that it is a huge yokai that will appear on the bay and wash its hands with two feet across the strait.

In Japan, where gods and ghosts are mixed, Kagawa Prefecture is worshipped as a deity in many shrines.

And the hand-washed ghost in the country of the sea, the image is similar to the real legend, the strength is not bad, and the anger is launched to open the mountain and break the rock, and the recklessness is endless.

A hundred years ago, during the time when the young Jiaoji was on the throne, this stupid big monster was taught a lesson by going upstairs once, and then he became honest.

But soon after the appearance of the Yellow Spring, he turned his back on the Sea Kingdom and fled to the Yin God.

He was captured in the battle just now.

Soon, the hand wash ghost was brought to the upper floor.

A huge humanoid youkai five or six meters tall, half naked, muscular, with dense body hair and yellow-brown whiskers that spread out in a radial pattern.

The big demon had his foot cut off in the battle and was now being tied up.

"Go upstairs, let me go, for the sake of our friendship." The Hand Wash Ghost struggled to speak, and the sound was like thunder.

"I don't remember any friendship between us."

Ascending the stairs and looking coldly at the giant Kraken.

In addition to the marine breath that the sea monster should have, the other party's body is also mixed with the breath of filth and depravity, which belongs to Huangquan.

It can be seen that there are several thumb-sized holes in the abdomen and legs of the hand washer, and black pus is constantly flowing, which is the mark left by the maggots of the Yellow Spring after burrowing into the body.

It's disgusting.

Dengstairs scoffed at this: "I used to think you were just stupid, not bad. But I regret it now, a hundred years ago, I should have killed you. ”

"You should be glad you didn't. Go upstairs, I'll give you a chance, and Lord Yin God will ask me to bring you a message. ”

"What?"

"As long as you can surrender Huangquan ......"

"Dream! Those disgusting gods are nothing more than cowards who have fled here. ”

"Hehe, don't hold on, go upstairs. This is the only chance for you and your men to live, and you are no match for Yellow Springs. It won't be too long, and the statue of the sect will not be able to hold on, you know this very well, don't you? It's just a matter of time. ”

"I will protect the sea country and expel the Yin God, you don't have to worry about it."

"Ascend the building, what did the sea country give you, and it is worth your life for it?" The Hand Wash Ghost laughed:

"A hundred years ago, you were a brave general of the sea, and all the krakens obeyed you, even I was convinced of you. And after that? Your sister ascended to the position of the lord of the country, and before the Yellow Spring came, everyone only sang praises to her, and all the credit belonged to the queen, who cares about you? ”

"Then Huangquan came, and everyone remembered you and let you go to the battlefield to bleed. Even so, have the people of Haiguo thanked you? Because you lose, they will only laugh and resent your incompetence. ”

"Go upstairs, you are far more talented than your cowardly sister, and the position of the lord of the sea country should have been yours. But look at this ghost place, the sect statue is a natural noble species, and only the sect statue has the right to become the lord of the country, and we, the dirty and inferior kraken, are only worthy of bowing down to the vassals. Is that fair? ”

"So, come on. Joining the Yellow Spring, Lord Yin God will establish a new order in the Sea Country, regardless of origin, bloodline, only the strong dominate the new order. ”

He didn't speak, just quietly listened to the hand-washing ghost, and there seemed to be some emotions flashing in his eyes.

After half a ring, he regained his original serious expression and spoke: "I'm curious, since the Yin God behind you is so powerful, why don't you come to attack us in person now?" And let you die? ”

"Lord Yin Shen is recuperating, hehe, he actually doesn't look down on the sea country at all, he just needs a place to accumulate strength, waiting for the resurgence of the East Mountain and the revival of the Yellow Spring. When the Yin God succeeds, the Sea Kingdom will be ours, and He has promised. The Hand Wash Ghost once again threw out the bait to persuade him to surrender, "Moreover, Lord Yin God is now more interested in another thing in the Sea Country...... The power of monthly reading, here, right? ”

"Even this kind of thing, Huang Quan knows?"

"Of course, so now the opportunity is in front of you. No matter what you say, it's also a mermaid royal family, and you know more things than I do. Before Lord Yin Shen personally finds the power of Tsukiyomi, dedicate that power to Huangquan, and you will be able to live and get everything that has been promised. ”

"I see, thank you for your persuasion."

"So......" The hand-washed ghost's tone was a little delighted.

And the big fish just turned his head and waved his hand at his subordinates: "Kill him." ”

"Go upstairs, you can't do that! You can't ......."

The shouts of the hand washers faded away.

The big fish ascended the stairs and was alone, thinking about the conversation just now.

Haiguo is really going to be unable to hold it, even if he doesn't want to admit it, but this is the truth.

As for the power left behind by the moon reading life in the sea country......

I only knew that it seemed to be related to the lords of the sea country in the past dynasties.

Maybe the little sister will know.

"A new sea country that doesn't look at origin, doesn't look at bloodline, and is only dominated by the strong?"

Ascending the stairs was a little shaken.

……

Aside from these images and information, there is very little that Kamiya can see.

The most important of them all, only the last scarlet fragment that keeps flashing back -

The location seems to be the current Tagido Island Jingu.

There are only two people in the picture.

One is the mermaid queen Juan Jiaoji, and the other is a big fish climbing the building.

Ascending the stairs hugged his sister tightly with one hand, but with the other hand stabbed the dagger with a sharp tail into the chest of the childish Jiaoji.

Beads of broken blood slipped down the wound.

Click.

Blood beads, dripping to the ground, splattered into a bewitching blood-red flower.

One drop, two drops, as the dagger went deeper, the blood beads turned into a stream of blood, flowing from the naïve Jiaoji's chest to the tail. The mermaid queen fell into the arms of Dengruo, and her amber eyes always looked straight at her brother's face.

"Little sister, forgive me. I can't help it, I can't help it......"

……

"The big fish ascended the tower in the shrine on Tagido Island and killed the previous lord of the Sea Kingdom, Zhi Jiaoji?"

The agitated images and information in Kamiyagawa's mind finally calmed down.

"So, did you finally take refuge in Huangquan?"

The information flashing from the childish Jiaoji is a little incomplete, and I can only see and guess the brain.

But I finally know what happened in the land of the sea two hundred years ago.

The mutation of the sea country should have started when a certain Yin God who survived from the divine war arrived in this ocean.

"Strange......"

The situation became more and more, but the doubts in Kamiyagawa's heart did not decrease but increased.

It's really weird.

The war between the Sea Kingdom and the remnants of Huangquan should be a big deal no matter how you think about it, right?

But neither the previous crab clan nor the current mermaids have mentioned this matter at all.

Speaking of more than 200 years ago, their statement was that "the previous lord disappeared mysteriously", nothing more.

"Moreover, no one has ever mentioned the role of Big Fish Ascending the Tower to me. Judging from the information in the mermaid queen's pupils, Denglou should be regarded as Isohime's uncle, no matter how you think about it, he is a big shot. ”

"Did the big fish go upstairs and kill the young Jiaoji in order to obtain the power of the moon reading that might be mastered by the lord of the country, and then take refuge in Huangquan?"

"The Sea Kingdom couldn't hold it at that time, but now it has been more than two hundred years, considering the existence of the retrospective tide, the real time may be more than two hundred years, where is the Yin God of Huangquan?"

"Yue Yu has been controlling the sea country for a long time, and protecting the three goddesses of the sect, I can understand his power here. But what does the so-called 'power of monthly reading' mean? ”

One by one, questions linger in my mind, and I have no clue at all.

However, it is not without doubts that have been solved.

For example, the strange and transcendent aura that Kamiyagawa felt lingering on Tagido Island may be related to the "power of Tsukiyomi".

The power of the three nobles can have such an aura influence, said in the past.

Therefore, no matter what the power of Tsukiyomi was, it is likely that this power was kept in the Tagido Island Jingu Shrine before.

Kamiyagawa controls the Kabuki puppet and stands up in front of the mermaid queen's corpse.

The queen's skull shook twice, drooped heavily, and a clear jade horn fell off from her forehead, and then the whole dried corpse began to dissipate into ashes.

The golem picked up the horn, then bowed lightly to the dissipating merfolk queen.

"The body of the young Jiaoji has not been turned into ashes, probably because it retains a little sanity or memory in it, so let's take this horn back to Isohime first."

I will bring your relics back to your daughter.

Kamiya would love to say this to the dissipated queen, but the puppet can't speak.

After that, he controlled the puppet to explore the underwater shrine for a long time.

Not much to gain.

Inside the collapsed temple, there were only stone walls and stone pillars, and some decayed and disfigured utensils, and nothing could match the "Moon Reading Power".

If the previous guess was correct, and the "power of the moon reading" was really preserved in this shrine in some way, then its ending should have been taken away by the big fish, or it was stimulated under some conditions.

……

It took a lot of time underwater, and eventually the Kabuki puppet came back with only one horn of the childish Jiaohime.

"Let's go, let's go back to Shicun Island first."

Kamiyagawa beckoned the whale to return home.

It's another boring trip of almost two hours, during which Kamiya has been observing the sea.

It seems to be dark red and muddy.

"Last week, the red tide came on the night of the moon, and if the time is the same, this week's red tide is about to come. The crab clan faced the red tide, and at least until the end of the last week, they could barely protect themselves. This time, I'll have to try to keep the merfolk as much as possible. ”

"It seems that the mermaid will turn into a bubble in about a day after leaving the city...... Hopefully, this time the red tide will be the same as the last time, so that I can take refuge on Crab Island in advance. ”

"It shouldn't be a big problem for me to negotiate with the crab lady and the crab owner, and promise not to get close to the crab settlement."

"It's just that you might have to use a tougher way to threaten the crab clan's side...... Alas, if I could, I wouldn't want to do this kind of thing, Crab Ji's little can might be crying again, she and I are really not close this week, obviously we got along so well last time......"
