Liang Qu twirled the transparent bead, which was no bigger than a thumb, feeling strange in his heart.
More than two thousand six hundred points of water essence?
Comparing the volume, the absorption rate is probably much higher than that of old clam pearls.
If we can absorb its essence before today, the total amount exceeds 17,000, it is impossible to say that we can really break through the fifth level in one go...
Whoever abandons me will not be able to stay as I was yesterday.
Liang Qu put his thoughts aside and put the beads into his bag. After a while, he couldn't help but take them out and look at them again.
The more he looked at it, the more he looked like tears.
The irregularity of clam beads, conch beads and clam beads is caused by the conditions of birth.
The one in front of me is big at one end and small at the other. It looks irregular at first glance, but it is very shiny and plump from top to bottom, as if it is naturally hanging down under the influence of tension.
Could it be...mermaid tears?
Liang Qu hasn't been to the academy much in recent times, but he has read all kinds of books and never stopped studying. Many miscellaneous stories have clearly recorded the existence of sharks, but they have rarely been seen in the past few hundred years.
"There are sharks outside the South China Sea. They live in the water like fish, and they never stop weaving. When their eyes weep, they can produce pearls."
The Moon Pearl Has Tears is not simply a beautiful fantasy.
The shark gauze produced by it is not wetted by water and is as white as snow.
There are even more cruel ones. A tank of clear oil mixed with a spoonful of shark oil and a wick dipped in it can burn for thousands of years.
If it were a shark's tear, it would make sense that a small bead could contain so much water essence.
Liang Qu raised his head: "Yuan Tou, ask Scar Tou, where did he get his beads?"
He and Scar Tou cannot communicate directly and need Yuan Tou to "translate" on his behalf.
Some exchanges.
Scarhead shook his head.
"Do not you know?"
Liang Qu sighed.
According to Scar Tou, the beads were discovered by chance when a young finless porpoise in the tribe was playing a long time ago. At that time, they just thought they looked good and kept wearing them.
As for the location, I have long forgotten it.
It's a pity that a single shark can have so much water essence. If we find a tribe and let them cry every day, wouldn't it be prosperous?
As if he noticed that the leader was disappointed, Scar Tou called out twice, stepped forward to hold the corner of his clothes in his mouth, and pulled Liang Qu to a place.
"oh?"
Liang Qu didn't stop and followed the scar head into the cave of the finless porpoises, seeing many miscellaneous things along the way.
A half-human-tall Buddha sculpture, a huge ship's bow, complete ritual vessels...
There are all kinds of things that the finless porpoises have accumulated little by little over the years.
Good guy, are there some intelligent aquatic creatures that like to collect human handicrafts?
Liang Qu picked up a Cong-style vase, and the signature on the bottom was a certain emperor in Daqian.
The official kilns of the previous dynasty were beautiful to look at. The glaze was moist and restrained, the vessel was plump in shape, and the flint red veins were flowing. However, it was not easy for him to use and sell these things.
Look at the Buddha sculpture again.
It was lifelike, the wood was unusual, it had been soaked in water for who knows how many years, and there was no sign of decay. He felt more at peace when he stayed aside.
Although it doesn't look strange in appearance, Liang Qu knows where the good things are.
He directly turned the Buddha statue over and touched its back.
The craftsman who made the Buddha sculpture was an expert, and the work was almost perfect, but he still let him touch a cover plate that was almost invisible despite his intentions.
Knock it, it's hollow.
Sure enough, there is something.
When you go out, you have to earn good things by yourself.
Without some culture, many things will be missed.
After the Buddha statue is completed, in order to give the Buddha statue vitality, it must be equipped with symbolic internal organs and spiritual consciousness.
Generally, some treasures such as charms, scriptures, gold and silver treasures are installed into the body of the Buddha statue or the seat of the Buddha statue, just like the internal organs in the human body. This is called "installation".
The unique ritual of installing Tibetan Buddhist statues is an indispensable procedure.
The Buddha statues enshrined in the temple cannot be taken apart casually, but the one in front of you is only half a person tall and is a wooden sculpture. It is obviously a private collection and there are not so many taboos.
It's still in the water right now. If it's a scripture inside and it won't be good if it gets wet, I'll take it apart later. The old monk might like it.
Unexpectedly, even before they started to let the finless porpoises go out to search for treasures, they would already have so many unexpected gains.
Scar Tou was very happy. He dragged Liang Qu and continued inside.
"besides?"
Liang Qu took a look at the pile of debris and followed Scar Tou in surprise.
Bottom of the cave.
Flooding vines grow and climb along the stone walls, illuminating the entire cave.
There are many similar luminous vines under the water. There was a thick luminous vine in the cave where Awei and Shui Lingzhi were first discovered.
The big vine was extremely hard and had no water essence. It tasted like gnawing hay.
The vines in front of me are slightly similar and should be of the same type. Under the soft brilliance of the intertwined vines, a forearm-long blue-gold instrument stands quietly among them, glowing with a faint metallic luster and very smooth, as if it has been coated with starch. .
The general image is of a simplified tiger head with an open mouth, and a frightening human head hidden under the big mouth. The two legs and long tail form a triangle, and the whole body is covered with complicated patterns.
The strange thing is that the tiger head is obviously very rough and extremely simplified, but the fear on the human head makes people shudder.
Judging from the details, it should be a vessel for holding wine.
But it was so weirdly made that it was most likely not for use, but most likely a ritual instrument.
Tiger bites people?
The scarred head on the left screamed, and the round head on the right kept nodding.
"Is it alive? It can also drive away wild beasts?"
Liang Qu was very surprised. He didn't know how a metal sculpture that looked like bronze but did not rot when soaked in water and whose material was unknown could be alive. It was even regarded as their totem by the finless porpoises.
"Are any wild animals harmed by it?"
Liang Qu looked at Yuan Tou, and Yuan Tou looked at Scar Tou. Scar Tou was stunned and shook his head.
"Just being driven away, no real harm..."
It's so magical, no wonder the finless porpoises separated it from ordinary "collections" and placed it specially in the deepest part of the cave.
After thinking for a long time, Liang Qu took a step forward.
no response.
One step further.
still have not.
Strange, how is it judged?
According to what Scarhead said, the beast would react as soon as it got close to the cave. He was so close to his face that he didn't move at all.
Until you are within one step, reach out and take it.
The five fingers grasped nothing.
Liang Qu looked up and realized that he was standing thousands of feet high in the sky, and the world was empty and empty.
Suddenly, sharp eyes fell from the sky and landed on the top of his head, like a tiger looking down.
He never raised his head, all the pores in his body were tightly contracted, the muscles in his back were involuntarily tightened, and he stood up straight.
In all directions, up and down, the sky, the earth, and the sky are all filled with mountain-like pressure.
Suddenly, Ze Ding in the sea of consciousness brightened.
[The breath of a tiger breeder will win the favor of the heavenly Wu, and a Yu pattern will be obtained. 】
In an instant, everything disappeared without a trace.
Liang Qu stumbled and leaned against the stone wall, all the pores in his body opened, and cold sweat broke out all at once.
The tiger-eating beast on the ground swayed twice, as if it had lost something and no longer had any charm.
