At first, Yu Xuanji still stayed in the cabin to meditate, but after a long time, she also felt bored, and from time to time she went to the deck to blow the river breeze, and every time she could meet Yun Hao who was watching the scenery from the bow of the ship.

On this day, the two happened to meet again, and Yun Hao opened his mouth and asked: "It's almost Wujiangkou, there is something I haven't asked for it, and you won't explain it." ”

Yu Xuanji said: "What's the matter?" ”

Yun Hao said: "When we arrived at the Endless Sea, we didn't just want to see if the waves on the sea were big, right? ”

Yu Xuanji couldn't help but laugh and said: "Of course not, when I get to the sea, I will deduce according to the situation on the sea surface combined with stargazing, and I will also use magic weapons to detect changes in the aura in the sea." ”

Yun Hao nodded and said, "That's what I want to ask, you have a fish in your name, but you're not real, how can a fish breathe underwater?" ”

Yu Xuanji took out a brocade box at this time, there are two egg-sized pearls in the box, the two pearls are round and faintly visible with a layer of halo brilliance, perhaps because the pearls are not natural ores, they need to be nourished and nurtured by mussels, so there is a natural spirituality, which is the natural and earthly raising, which is really a rare treasure.

"These two East Pearls were obtained by my ancestor by chance in the Endless Sea, and they have the miraculous effect of avoiding water, and they can nourish the vitality and solid qi just by wearing them on the body, and the water cannot invade." Yu Xuanji explained.

Yun Hao listened and said: "In the past, I have heard such a thing, saying that there are pearl farmers on the coast of the East China Sea who live by pearl diving, and the people of this clan take the biggest risk but the rewards are not rich, it is said that after the guilty people on the mainland were exiled to the desert island of the East China Sea, they could only survive by exchanging materials with Zhongzhou, and they had to engage in this lifeless work in order to make a living." ”

In order to get a larger pearl, the pearl diver had to look for the giant clam in the deep sea to find the orb, and they held their breath and dived into the deep sea, waiting for the giant clam to open the shell at the full moon to absorb the moonlight essence, and then take the opportunity to steal the pearl in the belly, but this was extremely risky, and once the giant clam was alert, it would immediately close the shell and clamp the pearl diver's arm.

Once the arm is caught by the giant mussel, the pearl divers are unable to break free and can only survive with broken arms, so this group is mostly disabled, of course, the broken arm is already a good result, how many people only have one arm left for a living or will risk pearl diving, but once it is clamped again, it can no longer break the arm, so there are countless people hiding in the sea.

Later, because they were exploited too much, the pearl divers rebelled, known as the 'Jiashen Rebellion', and finally this group of ill-fated exiles also established their own country, forming the current Dongwu Kingdom.

However, a thousand years have passed since this history, and the people of Dongwu have sealed the unbearable past and no longer mention it, but the profession of pearl diver has also been permanently abolished in Dongwu, which can be regarded as a consolation to the ancestors.

Yu Xuanji didn't know what Bai Yunhao wanted to explain when he mentioned this past, so he asked, "Does this have anything to do with this water bead?" ”

Yun Hao said: "There were tens of millions of relatives of sinners who were exiled on the isolated island of the East China Sea back then, even if the pearl is difficult to collect, it should be able to meet the supply of the rich and noble people in Zhongzhou for many years, but do you know why this Dongzhu is still scarce to this day, and Dongwu is no longer mined." ”

Yu Xuanji said: "Didn't you say just now that Dongwu has abolished such a dangerous profession as pearl diving, and naturally there will be no more Dongzhu flowing into Zhongzhou." ”

Yun Hao said: "The risk of pearl diving is not small, but the risk of them collecting thunder crystals now is even greater, and it is fundamentally due to human greed. ”

When the East Pearl flowed into the mainland of Zhongzhou, it was immediately sought after by dignitaries, and its price also rose, but those pearl merchants slowly found that once the supply exceeded demand, then the East Pearl would depreciate.

In the long run, after all, the pearl merchants have attracted the pearl merchants to hoard the pearl and become no longer valuable, and at this time there are rumors that a pearl diver accidentally obtained two twin pearls that have the miraculous effect of avoiding water, and such a treasure is bound to increase the production of the pearl.

So the pearl merchants first bribed the government to put pressure on the pearl divers and ordered them to hand over the water-sheltering pearls, but the pearl divers firmly denied that there was such a treasure, so the government also raided the pearl divers' gathering place several times without any results, and slowly did not want to care anymore, just regarded it as a rumor.

However, the greedy pearl merchants found that the number of pearl divers who died in the sea every year had dropped significantly, while the number of pearls produced continued unabated, so they decided that this treasure must exist, and since they could not make a plan, they asked someone to steal the pearl, but this time it is said that the pearl merchants succeeded, which eventually led to the 'Jiashen Rebellion'.

After listening to Yun Hao's narration, Yu Xuanji looked at the two 'water-repellent beads' in the box and frowned, if it was really as Yun Hao said, then these two jewels were not stained with the blood of countless pearl divers, and the person who stole the pearls at that time was self-explanatory、、、

Yun Hao looked at Yu Xuanji's embarrassed appearance, took the box from her hand and said: "No matter how precious the treasure is, it is only a dead thing after all, the most terrible thing since ancient times is the human heart, what is the sin of the treasure." ”

Yu Xuanji looked at Yun Hao in a complicated mood, remembering that when he was cooking tea for him, he said a set of theories about boiling cranes and burning the qin, which made a good tea ceremony change the taste in an instant, but it is still the case today, it always makes people feel depressed, although he never believes that it was the ancestor who stole the water droplets, but this story is like a thorn in the heart.

Since then, Yu Xuanji has stayed in the cabin all day long and never comes out again, thinking that Yun Hao's story has touched her too much, and it is difficult to eliminate it for a while.

In a blink of an eye, the sea boat sailed out to the mouth of the Wujiang River, and the reason why the sea ship should be chosen at this time The advantage is revealed, because the wind and waves on the sea are much larger than those on the river, so the choice of sea ships can better resist the waves.

This cargo ship is flying the Izumo merchant flag, and it will not be interrogated in the territory of Izumo Country, and now it is Yun Hao's Yunzi Battalion stationed at the mouth of the Wujiang River, although it is also under the jurisdiction of Shangguan Wuji, but in fact it is still under the orders of Yun Hao himself.

Shangguan Wuji, who is the governor of the capital, is quite clear about this, but he did not control it, and also let him be stationed in a critical place, which is also selfish, his daughter is now following Yun Hao, he can't manage it if he wants to, but now Yun Hao's momentum is too strong It is inevitable that the water will overflow, if there is really any accident, it is not a retreat here, if you want to leave the Izumo country, then you can choose one more path, which is also a kind of protection for your daughter.

Before leaving the Izumo country, Yun Hao deliberately took a detour to Yunziying Water Village, and made a simple explanation with Li Fengbo, now the three of them are brothers, two of them are stationed in Fengzhou for a short time, and Li Fengbo does not have many opportunities to stay here to make contributions, so it is necessary to properly appease one or two.
