Volume 2 Song of the Sea Chapter 53 The Shark Man Has Tears and Leaves the Pearl of the Sea
Xiao Yichen swallowed the last mouthful of porridge, threw away the bowl, and lay down in pain. It hurts not only on the body, but also in the heart. These people are not kind, and they actually do such a hateful thing to a disabled person like me.
While making a bitter face, he lay on the bed and groped, but found that the Qiankun bag and the white turtle shell on his body were missing, so he asked the apprentice: "Guan Guan, where are the things on my body?"
Lu Guanguan's mouth was bulging, his lips and nose were full of bright red chili oil, and he couldn't speak, intentionally or unintentionally, he put the big bowl with half of the noodles left next to the master's face, took out the Qiankun bag from the placket, and handed it to Xiao Yichen.
"Just now an old man treated your injuries, and I helped you change your clothes. That's all that. β
Then she took out a dusty stone-like thing and played with it curiously. She poked the four holes in the stone with her fingers like white jade chopsticks, and carefully stroked the raised stars and mountain marks inside, and muttered: "Master, master, this stone is so fun, can you give it to me?"
This is a chance gift from Xuanji Immortal Venerable, a quasi-emperor powerhouse, to Xiao Yichen. After refining, it returned to its roots, and it reined in the supernatural, and it looked like a broken stone.
Seeing Lu Guan's caring appearance, Xiao Yichen gasped, but he heard Emperor Shakti say that this thing weighs more than the sea water, and only in the hands of the master can he bear its weight.
"This thing can press the Emperor Shakti under the Cangri Peak for 500,000 years, how can it be like a stone in Guan Guan's hands?
But the annoying Wang Shouyi came to be a demon again.
"What a baby, let me see it too!"
I saw that the demon threw the dishes and chopsticks and rushed forward, and his chicken-like hand quickly grabbed the turtle shell of Lu Guanguan, and his face was also full of curiosity. He wanted to see what kind of strange treasure this strange boy would have.
Jiang Yazi and Shopee were also attracted to the gaze, staring at the man's movements.
The next moment, his hand touched the turtle shell, which seemed to be carved from a meteorite, without any hindrance.
"Huh~"
After holding it gently, he was about to lift it up, but with a light sigh, he was surprised to find that the object in his hand did not move at all, and he couldn't pick it up at all.
"Hmph, a little girl can hold it, how can I not hold it?" Wang Shouyi snorted coldly, covered his other hand as well, and tried to grab it with all his strength. But it backfired, this turtle shell seemed to have taken root in Lu Guanguan's hands, and it couldn't be mentioned at all. In the back, he kicked his legs even more exaggeratedly, but the result remained the same.
To everyone's surprise, Wang Shouyi not only couldn't hold the turtle shell, but also couldn't even push Lu Guanguan.
Ten breaths later, he finally lowered his hands in a dejected manner, blew his beard and glared, staring at the little turtle shell with the eyes of his father's killer.
Lu Guanguan saw the magic of the turtle shell, and the more he loved it, he threw it in his arms and was unwilling to hand it over. This appearance of "lifting weights like light" made Wang Shouyi on the side vomit blood.
Shopee looked up and down the landing level with her blue and clear eyes, trying to see through this cute girl who was different. Jiang Yazi's dirt road on the side had a few more ruts on his face, and he was looking at the master and apprentice without saying a word at the moment.
Xiao Yichen's eyes showed a different color, he didn't expect his apprentice to be able to hold this white jade turtle shell. He thought about it for a long time, but he only had a guess: it was very likely that she was "made in heaven", so she was not rejected by the turtle shell.
"If that's the case, it's okay to leave her there, and I'll come back when it's useful. Anyway, I don't know what this thing is for, and besides, she or my apprentice can't run, so give it to her. Thinking like this, the worry in my heart subsided for the time being.
Xiao Yichen nodded in agreement, then turned his head and laughed at Wang Shouyi's old man: "You are a little vain." You can't even pick up such a small stone, isn't it physically good?"
"You, you, you-" Wang Shou was so angry that his head was about to explode, "What do you call me vain? It's obviously weird about this broken stone, okay!"
Xiao Yichen ignored him and beckoned to Jiang Yazi, intending to return the three boxes of goods stored in the Qiankun bag. At that time, the fire on the ship was quite large, and he collected three boxes of looted goods for the Whale Gang.
Jiang Yazi saw that he was about to open the Qiankun bag, and he knew what was going on. The old man shook his head and smiled, and said slowly: "No need Xiaoyou, we still have to thank you for your help, and these boxes of things will be given to you." β
"Old man Jiang, what do you say is in here? Why is it all fishy?" When Xiao Yichen approached the wooden box at that time, there was a foul smell that came to his face, as if it contained a box of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and the smell almost made his little boy retch.
Hearing this, Wang Shouyi showed a look of contempt on his face, and interjected before Uncle Jiang could speak: "What do you know? But Taixuanβ"
"Ahem, ahem. At this time, Jiang Yazi interrupted his words with a cough, and looked at the Shopee on the side. Wang Shouyi also reacted, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, and the whole person suddenly paused, and a pair of small eyes secretly aimed at Shopee.
Xiao Yichen and the others were confused, and they didn't know what was going on, they all looked at Shopee.
At this time, he seemed to make people smack a punch in the skull, and he stood in place. He kept his head down, his big eyes obscured by his indigo hair, and he became dull, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and he didn't say a word.
He clenched his fists as if he were fighting something, and it was a long time before he walked out of the house trembling on his own.
The four of them didn't speak, just watched him leave quietly.
After a long time, Wang Shouyi smiled awkwardly: "Ahem, let's continue." In other words, this merman lived by the sea in the earliest days. They feed on mulberry leaves in the field, after which they spit out silk threads like silkworms, and then dive into the sea to weave silk yarn. Wearing clothes made of shark silk yarn, it is very magical to enter the water without getting wet."
"Then what does this have to do with the skin of the sharks? After they have stripped their skins, how can they weave cloth?" Xiao Yichen said on the side.
Lu Guanguan was also curious, and at the same time, her face was not very good, and the shark skins floating on the boat at that time made her suffer a lot. Not only do these things smell fishy, but they also look terrifying. The shark skin was drenched in blood, and it was not much different from the human skin that was peeled alive, and a little girl naturally couldn't stand it.
Wang Shouyi pulled the catfish whisker on the black mole at the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." β
"Shark silk yarn was a fine fabric, and it was very popular at the time. Someone caught a lot of mermaids and forced them to weave cloth. But they are all tough and will kill themselves if caught. Later, the merman population as a whole migrated outward, and it was difficult to find it again. Just when everyone thought that this nascent business was about to go down the drain, a merchant discovered two distinctive characteristics of the merman. This pushes them into a new abyss, where they become creatures that the Terrans compete to hunt. β
This person talked in the tone of a storyteller for a long time, and before he could get to the point, Lu Guanguan had already been impatient with listening, so he urged: "What's it, uncle, hurry up!"
"Don't worry, little doll, later," Wang Shouyi shook his head, still speaking slowly, like a storyteller, "The merchant found that when the tears from the mermaid solidified, they would become a kind of transparent beads shaped like pearls, which could emit a faint glow in the daytime, and could be embroidered on the crown of clothing for decoration. Some people call their tears 'pearls in the sea' and worship them as treasures. β
"In addition, after the shark skin is refined, it will produce a milky white paste, and a small piece can burn for a month. The production cycle of shark silk yarn is long, and it is difficult to obtain. However, the skin and beads of the merman can be obtained by killing, which induces various forces to go deep into the ocean, capture the merman, peel the skin and refine the oil, and take the beads to make clothes, so as to collect money. Thus began a massacre that lasted for thousands of years. β
Xiao Yichen frowned, although this can still make the human race achieve huge benefits, but it is harmful to the heavens and the peace, and besides, there will always be an exhaustion of this way of gathering wealth like this.
"The mermaids are very pitiful~ These people are so cruel! I really hate them" Lu Guanguan's eyes were red, grieving for this poor race, and at the same time showing disgust.
Jiang Yazi glanced at Lu Guanguan, and said kindly: "Little girl, this is also a helpless thing, everyone is profit-seeking, profit comes and goes, and profit goes." No matter what kind of hurtful thing is, as long as it is profitable, someone will do it. β
Woo~~Woo~~~
At this moment, there was a dull whine outside the house, as if someone was blowing a huge conch, making a long and distant sound.
The panes seemed to be covered with a black cloth, and soon darkened, and only a candle flickered in the room, emitting a dim glow.
Xiao Yichen was stunned for a moment, glanced out of the dark window a few times, and felt a little inexplicable: "What's wrong? Why is it suddenly dark?"
"Puff~" Lu Guanguan sneered and smiled at the master, "I'll know when the master goes out to see." β
As she spoke, she gathered the two pairs of chopsticks on the bed, took the only candle in the room and went out. Wang Shouyi and Jiang Yazi smiled and walked out of the door.
Even the door was not closed.
Xiao Yichen sighed helplessly: "Hey~ The apprentice has grown up, and he doesn't listen to the master anymore." β
With a sigh, he sank his consciousness into his body and checked his physical condition. The power of qi and blood and star power in the body are almost exhausted, these are all good to say, and they can be replenished by slowly cultivating in the future. It's just that I can't move now, I can't go outside to absorb the power of the stars, so I have to find a way to get out.
Now the important thing is to look at the injury to the spine, and I don't know if it is really healed as those two people said. He can't feel the condition of his lower body now, and there is a real possibility that he will become crippled because of it.
"Then what is Mr. Anqi really so powerful?"
Talking to himself like this, the situation of the spine was instantly engraved in his mind, but this look was shocking.
I saw that the broken bones were covered with white light, and these lines were extremely thin, as if they were nails like hairs in the bones, making the completely broken backbone bones together, which seemed unreliable, but in fact it was extremely stable. Just now, he was suffering from a broken bone injury, and he half-sat and ate a bowl of porridge, which shows Mr. Anji's superb medical skills.
"The old man of Anqi is not bad, but I don't know what he looks like. When I am healed, I will go to him, and I will definitely ask him to treat my hair. When the time comes, get a long flowing hair, hehe~~~"
So saying, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
ββββββββββ
"Sneezeββ, which bastard is speaking ill of me?"
Above the sea, a barefoot old man with a medicine basket on his back yawned and said angrily.
After that, he stepped on the waves, and disappeared at the junction of the sea and the sky in a few steps, and he was never seen again.
