"Haha, as the saying goes, 'the father does not know the son, and the son does not know the father', the 'father-son relationship' in your family is really interesting! By the way, there is also the 'father-daughter relationship'. Every day is like guessing riddles, and... It’s really rare to have an escape drill and maintain a sense of ‘mystery’ throughout your life!”
Although Shukang was already out of breath, she still took a long breath to express her experience.
"Oh! You've got to laugh. To be honest, it's not easy for us to grow up so big."
Hai Xiaolou sighed softly, and raised the left corner of his mouth in a rare move, revealing a wry smile. This smile broke the "calm, business-like" aloofness he had been in since he met Shu Kang.
"Now, how do we find the real Lord of Haiyantian?"
Shu Kang felt that it was a completely new challenge to bring this trouble to him. And she happens to be the one who likes to take on challenges the most. This feeling of solving the unknown made her whole body excited, and every cell was activated, entering a new round of "combat readiness mode".
"Our mother left us a 'Red Lian' short knife. She said that as long as you find the right apple and use it to spin and peel, the answer will be seen in the process of peeling off the peel. However, this one Apple is also very difficult to find. It must come from the 'controlled' refining domain of the 'Interesting World': the 'color' domain - the 'food' world - the first convergence point of the 'an' collar - color , Shi, An' Su Tuan, that is, you - the master of the art, Mu Yizai, is in the origin of the 'art world' created by Mu Yi, in the 'immediate food-free art realm', you are in the 'Zhongzhong' Among them, the ancestor of apples planted by himself, a 'yin-yang fruit' with the most even red and green halves and the largest size, picked from the original ancient mother tree. Now, even though you are here, the rare 'Yin-Yang Fruit' is not always available when you want it. "
Hai Xiaolou stared under Shu Kang's nose and gently revealed the secret, which surprised Shu Kang. He really didn't expect that this matter was also related to him!
"Yes! It's really not easy to find apples like that. But if we go by this and ask the two female disciples to look for them, it should be possible to find them. However, at this time, they are still outside on the water, and they can't find them. You know the situation here. Moreover, the time is limited and the journey is long and winding. I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish it in a short time!”
Only then did Shukang remember that Jiaoyue and Yaoqiao were here again. He had been down for so long, and he didn't know if they had encountered any other situations while they were up there!
"Then, do you have the 'Red Lian' dagger that my mother left for you that you mentioned? Can you show it to me?"
Since you can't take care of the two apprentices first, let's take care of the immediate situation first! Shukang wanted to appreciate the appearance of another "resolution element" first.
"good."
Hai Xiaolou took out a dagger scabbard hanging from the hanging bag on his waist and pulled out a bright dagger with a "swipe" sound. The blade looked very sharp and glowed with the unique silver color of metal. Light and cold.
Xiaolou turned the handle of the knife outward, the tip of the knife pointed back at him, and handed the knife over.
"Thanks!"
When he took the knife, Shukang was attracted by the red to black handle. One side of it seemed to be a relief, like an ugly "shoehorn" profile of a human face, similar to the Ming Taizu in the textbook. Looks like a relative of Zhu Yuanzhang; the other side is unremarkable, without any decoration, just layer by layer, like the texture of piled pork belly, the grit is dull, the friction is quite large, when you hold it, it is very firm, and it will never Slippery hands.
"Is it possible that the true form of Lord Haikou looks like this?"
Shukang murmured in his heart, trying not to laugh. After thinking about it, he might as well talk about the business: "Is it your mother's craftsmanship? Did she make this knife?"
"It's my mother's family heirloom, from her ancestors. I can't tell which generation of ancestors made it. Anyway, now, it has been passed down to me and I will keep it."
Hai Xiaolou only talked about the knife, but he didn't tell his mother why he didn't keep it personally and where he was now.
"oh!"
Shukang suppressed the doubts in his heart, thinking that if he didn't mention something, there must be a reason why it was inconvenient to mention it. This involved his family's privacy, and he had no reason to give it. Don't stop until you dig it all the way to the bottom.
"This knife is really a treasure! It also has a venting groove on it. It should be quite sharp and can be used to kill animals."
Shukang carefully studied the original purpose of this knife and found that it was more than just a "fruit knife".
"Yes! It once protected my mother's ancestors, protected their lives, and helped them get enough food." Hai Xiaolou saw that Shu Kang had finished studying and playing with it, so he reached out to get it back and inserted it back into its original sheath. Then he said, "However, these are the functions that the 'knife' itself should have, and there is nothing surprising; for the 'Red Lian', its most magical thing is that it can predict events by cutting the 'Yin Yang Fruit' , avoid disasters and find the right path, this function is its most commendable feature."
"So powerful?" Shukang couldn't help but become interested.
"Yes! Our entire Ku clan can survive. My father, Hai Yantian, was able to become the Ku master thanks to the guidance of 'Chi Lian'."
As Hai Xiaolou said this, he clenched the handle of the knife tightly with his hand, as if he was absorbing its "magical energy".
"That is to say, in fact, your father, the Lord of the Sea, has met me before, otherwise he would not have the chance to obtain the special 'Yin Yang Fruit', know the foresight, and successfully become the king."
Shu Kang suddenly realized something and concluded.
"It should be so. I heard that the 'yin-yang fruit' that meets the requirements can only bear one every ten years. Therefore, you should have interacted with each other in the previous ten years; but I didn't expect that, It’s so hard to see this side today.”
Hai Xiaolou still held back half of his words.
"Why, he still doesn't mention his mother? Didn't he say that 'Red Lian' is his mother's heirloom?"
Shukang also said "haha" while muttering in his heart again.
While the two of them were exchanging ideas about the origin of "Red Lian", there was a sound of rapid footsteps in the distance, accompanied by the sound of something being knocked over and broken, accompanied by a gust of wind, roaring towards them.
One black and one white, they are the two sisters Hai Xiaoxuan and Hai Xiaoxie.
"Brother, have you met dad?"
Xiaoxuan asked and quickly sorted it out. Because of the chaos along the way, the clean white clothes cut by a simple style master had become stained, which made Hai Xiaoxuan, who loved cleanliness, a little intolerable.
