Under the leadership of Jing Xiaowei, Ji Beichen and Yan Nianxin followed him to the second floor of the inn. The first floor of this inn is a place for dining, and the second floor is a place for accommodation.
The three of them went up to the second floor and saw that the doors of the rooms on the second floor were all closed, and they were wondering which room the person was in. Hearing the light and sweet sound of the piano, Jing Xiaowei walked towards an upper room on the left side of the corridor.
Jing Xiaowei pushed the door open and saw in the middle of the front hall of the upper room, a graceful woman wearing a navy blue waist-length turtleneck skirt, lowering her head and stroking a guqin on the table in front of her. .
Shark gauze is the gauze woven by the embroiderers of the Shark tribe. The clothes made from this gauze are elegant, light and exude a dazzling light. Even in the dark night, this light is still radiant, just like the steaming clouds.
There was no gouache on the woman's face, and her hair was simply tied into a bun, with only a flowery tassel hairpin inserted into the bun. Although she was not dressed up carefully, she was not overshadowed by the scarf on her body. There was a slight smile on her cheeks, a blue aura glowing between her brows, and a hint of elegance in her gentleness.
This shark's silk ribbon is a rare thing, and even the concubines in the palace can only get it. Ji Beichen once heard Yan Yueli mention that she had owned a dress made of shark gauze when she was a child. When the two were young, she was wearing a crocodile gauze skirt that night when they met by chance under the moonlit night. Nowadays, this kind of croaker is even more rare.
Yan Yueli told him that the shark embroiderers who weave shark gauze must be girls with more than half of the shark blood. On the night of the full moon, they show their shark form and float on the sea surface, revealing their silver-white tail fins and absorbing the splendor of the moonlight. Only with the strength can we weave the dazzling crocodile yarn.
The Sharman tribe has been ashore and intermarried for many years, and their bloodline has gradually declined, and the power of their bloodline has gradually weakened. Not only is the ability to weave shark woven silk no longer available, there are also very few female cultivators in Haikuo Sect who are skilled in the art of controlling water, and most of them are training in charming techniques such as "Remaining Sound".
When the three of them pushed the door open, the music in the woman's hand just finished playing. The woman raised her eyes and saw three people standing at the door, and quickly stood up to greet them.
Ji Beichen has met many beautiful people. Junior sister Lu Xinrui, Yan Yuezong disciple Shen Qingxi, and his petite and lovely Yan Yueli are all rare and talented women in the world.
But the woman in front of him today shocked Ji Beichen. Such a beautiful and noble woman made Ji Beichen a little worried, worried that it would be difficult for this woman to find a suitable husband.
This worry only stayed in his mind for a moment, and Ji Beichen came back to his senses. When he saw the woman raising her eyes to look at them, she politely saluted and said: "The mountains and flowing water are full of lingering sounds. The sharks are good at singing, but they can also play the piano very well!"
The woman had not heard such sincere words of praise for a long time. She lowered her head and said with a smile: "Young Master, you are joking. This piano was given to me by an old friend. I learned to play the music of Mountains and Flowing Waters, but it cost me a lot of effort!"
Ji Beichen continued: "My father once said that in the mountains and rivers, it is difficult to find a close friend. If he has any regrets in his life, it is that he does not understand the music and has not learned how to play the piano!"
As soon as the woman raised her eyes, she saw Ji Beichen's appearance, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She asked tentatively: "The young master's father is not good at music, so what is he good at?"
When Ji Beichen saw the woman asking him this question, he knew that she would soon recognize him, so he replied: "My father has been studying the art of swordsmanship and sword-making all his life, and he has no other talents!"
As if she had gotten the exact answer, the woman moved closer to Ji Beichen and asked cautiously: "Are you really the only son of the eldest son and Princess Mu? The eldest son..."
This woman is none other than Jing Xiaowei's sister, Canglan, the head of the Haikuo Sect, and the princess of the Shark Clan. The Shark clan is divided into male and female sharks. The previous generation of shark kings had three children, the eldest daughter Canglan, the eldest son Canghai, and the youngest son Canghan.
Many years ago, the previous king of sharks died, and the princess Canglan brought most of her tribe ashore and established the Haikuo Sect. The eldest prince Canghai inherited the position of the leader of the Shark King and led the sharks who did not want to live ashore to continue living in the deep sea.
And the little prince Canghan, left the Canglan Sea ten years ago, came to Juhe Jianzhuang in Wuyou Town, became a disciple of the secret guard Jing Wuwei, and was adopted by Jing Wuwei as his adopted son. Now he has grown up to be a member of the secret guard in his own right. .
At this time, Jing Xiaowei saw her sister's lost look and was worried that she would lose her composure. He quickly stepped forward and took her arm, whispering in her ear: "Sister, he is indeed a young master. We got together not long ago. We just found him at Hejian Village. Did you come to the outskirts in person just to see him?"
Seeing her younger brother asking her this question, Canglan turned away nervously, her tone slightly panicked: "I just want to know if he is doing well, that's just... my concern as a friend!"
Upon hearing what his sister said, Jing Xiaowei felt that her sister was getting darker and darker. His sister is good at everything, but she is straightforward and doesn't hide her feelings.
Jing Xiaowei patted her forehead and shouted helplessly: "Sister, you will be disrespectful in front of the young master!"
Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, the waiter at the inn hurriedly arranged three rooms for the three of them. Yan Nianxin was worried about Ji Beichen living alone and wanted to share a room with him no matter what.
Ji Beichen knew that Yan Nianxin was worried about his safety, so he readily accepted the arrangement. The two had some dinner in the room and then went to bed with their clothes on.
Next door to their room is Jing Xiaowei's room. It was late at night and Jing Xiaowei had not fallen asleep. He had just returned from sister Canglan's room.
Jing Xiaowei has told his sister Canglan the purpose of the three people's trip. The words that Sister A said to him echoed repeatedly in his mind, making him a little sleepless tonight...
When Cang Lan heard Cang Han's story, she was not only surprised but also felt heartbroken. She was always innocent and tearful, and couldn't help but sigh repeatedly: "The young master's journey of cultivation is so bumpy! The young master was so seriously injured. If he were still alive, he would definitely protect him, but it's a pity..."
Seeing Canglan's worried look, Jing Xiaowei responded: "There is no conclusion yet on the eldest son's matter. After all, for ordinary people, the physical body's fall cannot be recovered overnight!"
Hearing this, Cang Lan continued: "The Shark Race's most precious treasure, the 'Serman Tears', has never appeared in the world since my grandfather. Otherwise, our Shark Race would not have declined like this!"
Jing Xiaowei comforted Canglan and said, "My adoptive father said that the young master has an extraordinary background and good fortune. We only have to fulfill our duties as a shark. As for whether the Shark Tears can appear in the world, it depends on the young master's own ability!" "
When Canglan heard this, he felt a lot relieved, and then said: "Okay, since the second master said so, you will follow me back to Haikuo Sect tomorrow. After I explain the affairs of the sect, I will go to Canglan Sea with you. , persuade Ahai!"
When Jing Xiaowei heard Canglan mentioning his elder brother Canghai, he frowned: "I am most worried about my elder brother. My elder brother has never been in the world and is not aware of the current changes in Dongcang. These changes will bring consequences to the Sharman race." What a turmoil. I’m afraid he is still stuck on the past of more than ten years ago and refuses to let the young master enter the clan’s secret realm!”
Jing Xiaowei knows that his elder sister Canglan has always been able to distinguish right from wrong and is very considerate. In fact, he is not worried about convincing his elder sister. The person he is really worried about is his elder brother Canghai!
To talk about old things from more than ten years ago, we have to mention Heiqinglong Xiaoqing. Xiao Qing is a green python native to the Canglan Sea. Green pythons are different from the sharks who like to live in groups. They like to practice alone and practice in order to transform into a dragon and ascend into a dragon as soon as possible.
The green python is also different from the sharks. The sharks are born with humanoid fish tails and can distinguish between male and female. Before the green python turns into a dragon, it is in the form of a python. It cannot turn into a human form, nor is it male or female. Only after turning into a dragon into a human being can men and women be distinguished.
Xiao Qing is not like ordinary green pythons who are solitary and unsociable. Before she turned into a dragon, when she was still a little python, she was lively and active and liked to be close to people.
During an outing, Canghai, the eldest prince of the Sharman tribe, accidentally rescued Xiaoqing who was captured by fishermen. When he saw that Xiaoqing was a young green python, he took Xiaoqing as his pet and kept him close to him. But he didn't expect that one day, his beloved pet would improve his cultivation and turn into a human being, and the person he transformed into would be a young woman!
What was even more unexpected to Canghai was that the "pet" he had spent so much effort and pampered for many years quickly fell in love with someone else and wanted to escape from him after turning into a human form... And the beginning of all these changes... It was after Ji Yijun appeared in Canglan Sea!
Canglan knew her brother's concerns. She smiled, pulled Canghan to sit on a chair, and said to him in detail: "After you left, Ah Hai thought a lot. He came ashore and talked to me several times. After that, we gradually started to contact him. People outside the clan should be concerned about other races in Canglan Sea and pay attention to the trends in the world of cultivation in Dongcang."
Speaking of this, Canglan said worriedly: "The situation at the seaside has not been good recently. The Shark Tears have not appeared for a long time, and the power of the ocean is gradually weakening, and it can no longer protect all the races in the sea.
A few days ago, the leader of Canglan Kun was captured and trapped on an island in the middle of the sea using a formation. When I set out, Ahai had already begun to organize his tribe and the Kun group, preparing to rescue Kunshou. I didn’t know what the situation was like! "
Having been in the world for many years, Jing Xiaowei has already seen through the nature of the world. Because of the special bloodline power of the Sharks, Canglan Kun's powerful physical power, and the ascension power of the Green Python Demonic Pill, the Canglan Sea has never been peaceful.
Driven by profit, the three races of the sharks, Canglan Kun, and Qing Python have always been the targets of unscrupulous businessmen vying to capture them.
Jing Xiaowei knew that her elder sister, despite the objections of her elder brother and clan elders, resolutely led some clan members ashore to adapt to human life and marry others, which was somewhat helpless.
What my sister Canglan dreamed about back then was that after her tribe came ashore and lived ashore, humans would learn more about the sharks and no longer regard them as aliens or monsters. She hopes that through this move, the sharks can truly integrate into the human world and coexist as equals with humans.
But Jing Xiaowei knew that the effect of this move was not very good. After landing ashore, the Shark tribe learned the cunning and greed of humans. They were filled with human desires, causing many tribesmen to gradually lose themselves.
Just like the female elder who just fought against him, she is Canglan's Jinlan sister. She used to be as simple and straightforward as her elder sister, but unfortunately her appearance has changed a long time ago. The past events more than ten years ago are partly her fault.
My sister is kind-hearted and never drives away her tribe members. Her purpose in founding the Haikuo Sect is also to build a harbor on the shore where the sharks can take refuge.
And Jing Xiaowei's elder brother Canghai, after succeeding as the King of the Sharks, closed his tribe's access to the outside world and refused to communicate with outsiders. He was so extreme that even other ethnic groups in the deep sea, Canghai, cut off communication.
Jing Xiaowei felt very happy when she heard her sister talking about her brother's change. Jing Xiaowei once tried to persuade her elder brother, but at that time, her elder brother's heart was already filled with hatred of personal affairs, and he couldn't listen to his heartfelt words at all. That's why Jing Xiaowei made up his mind to leave Canglanhai and join the second son Jing Wuwei's secret guard organization.
Jing Xiaowei was relieved and said half-jokingly: "I didn't expect my brother to have such a big change. If he had woken up earlier, I wouldn't have left my hometown to join my adoptive father!"
