The few of them chatted for a while. Seeing that it was already getting late, Bu Xiaotian and others did not intend to stay here any longer, so they stood up to say goodbye and prepared to leave.
The Mermaid Queen nodded:
"Well, since you have decided to leave, I won't keep you here."
After saying that, the Mermaid Queen clapped her hands gently, and several Mermaid women walked in one after another carrying a one-foot-square wooden plate.
There are a lot of things on the plate, including various rare treasures from the sea and things unique to the Shark tribe.
The most conspicuous ones are dozens of fist-sized pearls and white silk yarn in another wooden plate.
The pearls were extremely round and crystal clear. Such large pearls were extremely rare on land, but I didn’t expect that the Shark Clan could easily produce so many.
In particular, there are several pearls as bright red as blood, which are the most eye-catching.
For a moment, they were all amazed when they saw Bu Xiaotian.
But when they moved their eyes to the tray containing white silk yarn, they were even more surprised.
The white silk gauze looks as thin as a cicada's wings, but it is not transparent. There is a misty white light on it, which is very magical.
"Shark rice?"
Letian looked at the strange silk yarn and exclaimed.
Hearing his exclamation, several others also suddenly realized.
Shark gauze is a silk yarn that can only be woven by the Shark clan. It is also an extremely precious treasure among the Shark clan.
Legend has it that the sharks are good at weaving and can use moonlight silk to weave the most beautiful silk yarn in the world. However, even the sharks cannot weave shark gauze casually.
Only on the night of the full moon, when the moonlight is at its peak, can they use their own talents to collect the moonlight, turn it into silk thread, and weave crocodile yarn.
But collecting moonlight is no easy task. The power of the moonlight collected every full moon night is only enough to weave less than half a foot of shark gauze.
To weave a complete piece of shark gauze, it takes a shark person a lifetime.
The peculiar thing about the shark's gauze is that it is as thin as a cicada's wing and extremely light, but it is difficult to see through. It does not get wet when exposed to water, does not burn when exposed to fire, and is difficult to scratch even with ordinary swords.
If we wear clothes made of shark crotch, even ordinary people will be protected from the cold and heat, and there is no need to worry about getting dirty, and it can even remove dirt from the human body.
In addition to crocodiles and pearls, there were also many treasures that ordinary people dreamed of, which dazzled everyone.
Seeing Bu Xiaotian and others looking dumbfounded, the Mermaid Queen covered her mouth and chuckled:
"Haha, don't be in a daze, this is a gift from me to you, put it away quickly!"
When Lotte and the others heard the words of the Mermaid Queen, they did not eagerly accept the treasures in front of them. Instead, they all shook their heads and rejected the Mermaid Queen's kindness.
Bu Xiaotian said:
"Sister Jiangzhu, we appreciate your kindness. But these things are too valuable, we can't ask for them, and we have already taken the teardrops before, so we are too embarrassed to ask for these things."
When the Mermaid Queen heard Bu Xiaotian's words, she waved her hand and persuaded:
"Okay, don't be polite to me, sister! These things are very precious to you, but they are really nothing for us, the Shark Race.
There are not even a thousand but eight hundred things like this in our treasure house. Although the shark crotch is slightly rarer, our clan still has a lot of it after countless years of accumulation. You can accept it with peace of mind!
Even if you don't accept it, there is actually no use for us to keep it. I don't know if I will have a chance to see you again in the future, so just treat it as a souvenir! "
Bu Xiaotian and the others are not hypocritical people. After seeing the Mermaid Queen say this, it really doesn't make sense to refuse anymore. They each took some of the ones they liked and accepted them, and refused to take the rest no matter what. .
When the Mermaid Queen saw them accepting the gifts, she immediately became happy and no longer forced them to do so.
...
On the coast, the Mermaid Queen looked at the four people who were about to leave, and reluctantly said goodbye:
"You must take good care of yourselves, I'm waiting for you to come back and see me!"
Hearing the words of the Mermaid Queen, Bu Xiaotian felt a little complicated. He looked at the Mermaid Queen and solemnly said:
"Don't worry, sister Jiangzhu, I will definitely come back to see you when I have the opportunity! You must also take care of yourself!"
Several other people also said similar farewells, and hundreds of sharks looked at them on the coast, their eyes full of gratitude.
After a while, they finally said goodbye. Bu Xiaotian and others sacrificed their magic weapons, turned into several streaks of light, and disappeared into the distant sky in the blink of an eye.
The Mermaid Queen stood on the shore, looking steadily at the direction Bu Xiaotian and the four left. She didn't look back for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.
...
On the other side, Bu Xiaotian and others flew towards Haizhou City at full speed after leaving Cangwu Mountain.
Without the black dragon causing trouble, the sea monsters in the sea have become much calmer, and they no longer have to worry about being attacked by the sea monsters.
Two days later, four streams of light fell on the coast outside Haizhou City and transformed into the figures of four people.
It was Bu Xiaotian and his party.
After they landed, they did not enter the city immediately. Instead, they turned around and looked at a place on the sea, as if waiting for something.
Sure enough, within a moment, the water on the sea surface rippled in circles, and a figure slowly rose from the water, revealing a figure with fins behind its ears, a body covered with scales, and a fish tail under its body.
They had seen this kind of image many times in Cangwu Mountain, and it was exactly what the sharks looked like when they were hunting in the sea.
When they left Cangwu Mountain that day, the Shark Queen was obviously a little worried, so she sent a Shark elder with profound cultivation to secretly escort them.
Although Bu Xiaotian and others had long discovered the shark who was secretly following him, they also knew that the other party had good intentions, so they did not expose him.
It wasn't until they arrived outside Haizhou City that they planned to say goodbye to him.
Seeing the shark elder appear, Lotte shouted loudly:
"Thank you, elder, for escorting me!"
The shark didn't say anything, just nodded to them, then sank into the water again, and disappeared from the four people's sight in less than a moment.
After the shark elder left, Bu Xiaotian and the four of them also turned and walked towards the gate closest to them under the tall city wall.
The gates leaving the city are very laxly guarded, while the gates entering the city are much stricter. Everyone entering the city will be interrogated to prevent any sirens from sneaking into the city.
Guarding the small gate into the city were two strong men, dressed similarly to the two brothers Jiang Rulong and Jiang Ruhai.
There were not many people entering the city at this time, so they noticed the four people falling from the sky early in the morning. Knowing that the four people were extraordinary, they were very polite to them. One of them asked:
"Did the four immortals come from the depths of the South China Sea?"
Lotte, who was walking at the front, nodded and replied:
"Well, I went to sea a few days ago and just came back today."
The man asked again:
"I once heard someone say that four people flew directly into the South China Sea a few days ago, and they were dressed similarly to the four immortals. I wonder if they are the four immortals?"
Letian pondered for a moment and said:
"Hmm~ If there are no other practitioners dressed like us going out to sea in the past few days, they should be talking about us."
Hearing Lotte's admission, both of them's eyes lit up, and the person who asked the question before said:
"I wonder if the four immortals have been attacked by sea monsters or noticed anything unusual in the sea?"
Obviously this is what they want to know most.
Letian didn't hide anything. He briefly talked about the black dragon incident and explained the reasons for the strange movements of the sea monster in the past six months. He didn't mention anything about their affairs on Cangwu Mountain.
After listening to Lotte's narration, a look of surprise flashed across both of their faces, and the other person couldn't help but ask one more question:
"Is everything the immortal said true?"
Although Lotte was questioned, he knew that they did not disbelieve him, so he was not angry:
"Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you when I had nothing to do?"
Now the two of them had no doubts in their hearts, their faces showed joy, and their attitude towards them was even more respectful:
"I wonder if some of the immortal leaders can come with me to meet with our city lord and some of the immortal masters in the city?"
After the man finished speaking, he saw the puzzled looks on Bu Xiaotian and the others' faces, and hurriedly explained:
"Don't get me wrong, Immortals. We just want to ask the Immortals to tell the City Lord and others about this matter in person. After all, we are not cultivators. Even if we say it, the City Lord and the Immortal Masters may not believe it. "
Only then did Bu Xiaotian and the others understand what he meant. Letian and the other three looked at each other and saw that they had no intention of objecting. Then they nodded to the man and said:
"No problem, take us there now!"
Seeing that Bu Xiaotian and the others agreed, the man who spoke was overjoyed, hurriedly told another gatekeeper, and led a few people into the city gate.
After passing through the long corridor, the man, Bu Xiaotian and others walked quickly along the main street for half an hour before they came to a mansion that was much taller than other houses.
This is the city lord's palace.
The man stepped forward and pointed at Bu Xiaotian and the four of them and briefly told the concierge their origins and the reason for their coming. The concierge did not dare to neglect and immediately entered the gate to inform them.
After a while, the concierge came out again, followed by a middle-aged man who looked like a butler. He respectfully said to Bu Xiaotian and others:
"Several immortal elders, the Lord of the City invites you to come in and have a talk!"
"Um."
Lotte and the others nodded and followed the man into the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion really occupies a large area, and several people walked for about half a quarter of an hour before arriving at the main hall.
When they came in, there were already several people sitting on the seats in the hall waiting for them. Seeing how young they looked, everyone couldn't help but look surprised.
Although several people in the hall were surprised by their age, they did not look down upon them because of this. When they came in, they all stood up from their seats to show friendliness.
In the center of the crowd was an old man with gray hair. Although this man looked a little old, his eyes were bright and his body was tall and straight. He was obviously not an ordinary person.
Just when Bu Xiaotian and others were sizing each other up with everyone in the hall, the one standing in the center said:
"I, Zuo Canglan, the Lord of Haizhou City, have met a few of my friends!"
