Haenyeo? Yu Qing pricked up his ears. The two young monks were also listening, and their reactions were not as obvious as his.
The underworld monk thought for a moment and then replied: "I've never heard of it."
Woman: "We, the Sea Clan, are originally attached to the Immortal Mansion of the Underworld, guiding the guests coming and going from the Immortal Mansion. There is a maid in the Immortal Mansion who is responsible for welcoming guests and sending them off. Therefore, she rules our Sea Clan and is called 'Haenyeo. '. When there are guests coming and going, the haenyeo will call us, the sea tribe, to obey orders with an object. That object is a ring called 'tide'.
According to oral traditions passed down from generation to generation, the 'Tide' ring is actually two. One is 'tide', used when guests come. One is 'Xi', used when guests leave. When we, the Sea Clan, hear the call of the 'Tide Ring', we know that we are rushing to Xingluo Island to pick up guests. When we hear the call of the 'Tide Ring', we know that we are heading to the Immortal Mansion to see off guests.
These two rings can be combined into one, and they are usually worn on the hands of the 'Haenyeo'. I have seen the carvings on the walls of the forbidden area of the water palace. The rings look exactly the same as the ring on your hand, but I don't know whether it is true or not. . "
Hearing this, Yu Qing's mind kept turning. This is consistent with some of what Wu Hei said. Wu Hei said that the ring has yin and yang, and said that the two rings can fit together. Could it be that the sister of the strong man? Could it be that she is the original haenyeo from the Nether Sea Immortal Mansion?
He didn't expect to get such important clues as soon as he arrived, and he felt that his trip was worthwhile.
When things got to this point, the underworld monk seemed to be interested and asked: "Then how to prove the authenticity of this ring?"
The woman stretched out her hand, took the ring from his hand and looked through it, "I don't know, no one among the ancestors of the clan seems to have seen how to use this 'tide' ring, because no one in the clan was there when the haenyeo used it. No matter how hard we rush to summon, we still can’t see it. But it must be the same as the conch summoning us in the Hades Temple, it relies on sound.”
Speaking of this, she actually put it on her mouth and tried blowing it. Except for a few puffs in her mouth, blowing at any angle had no effect.
Yu Qing's tooth hurt when he saw it. He actually thought of blowing the ring as a trumpet. He didn't know what this woman was thinking. He still hoped that the woman would wipe off the saliva on the ring first.
He actually didn't have to think about the issue of authenticity, thinking that it must be true, and there was a high probability that the things given by the strong men of Jinxu would not be fake.
But the woman turned over the ring and muttered to herself, "The material of this ring is obviously unusual. How can it make a sound if it can't be blown? Could it be that it's in the water..."
She suddenly turned around and walked to the water's edge and squatted down, dangling the ring in the water and playing with it.
Just when even the underworld monk was a little impatient and wanted to persuade her to forget it, suddenly a "ding-ding-ding-ding" sound of wind chimes came from the ring in the woman's hand.
Like the sound of many wind chimes ringing together, the sound is fine and dense, crisp and pleasant, the kind that cleanses the mind. In short, it gives people a dreamy feeling.
The underworld monk, Yu Qing, and the two young monks were all stunned for a moment, staring at the woman's movements.
The woman squatting by the water also froze, and her movements in her hands were frozen. Her eyes were staring at the ring half-immersed in the water in her hand. She was obviously caught off guard by the sudden sound she made.
The monk asked, "What's going on?"
The woman said in a daze: "I just tried to inject magic power into it, and then..." Before she finished speaking, she continued to rinse the ring back and forth in the water.
Jingle bells, tinkling bells, the fine and dense dreamy sounds sounded again, which made everyone feel refreshed and have a sense of fairy music.
After a while, she stood up excitedly, turned around and said to the Underworld Monk: "Yes, it's true. Although I don't know whether it's the 'Tide Ring' or the 'Tide Ring', I can feel that our Sea Clan is very far away. The sound can be heard in the water.”
She stared at Yu Qing again and asked again, "Where did you get this ring?"
Yu Qing asked her, "Since you said you have two rings, haven't you seen anyone else wearing this kind of ring in your Hai clan for so many years?"
The woman was suddenly startled, then seemed to come to her senses, and asked, "Actually, you don't know the origin of this ring, do you?"
Yu Qing was stunned for a moment, then asked: "How can you see it?"
Woman: "What you just said reminded me. You asked our Hai Clan if we have seen anyone else wearing this kind of ring in so many years. People who know the origin of this ring will not let Hai Clan recognize it if they don't want it. The clan saw that this conflict would never have happened, so how could they come to the Underworld Temple to ask for an explanation?"
Yu Qing responded with silence. He couldn't tell the origin of what he knew.
The woman's eyes flickered, and she slowly held the ring in her palm.
The underworld monk reached out and took the ring from her hand. He also squatted down by the water with his bare feet. He slowly injected magic power into it according to the way the woman said, and rinsed it in the water. Sure enough, the dreamlike ring came out. The bell rang again.
After getting up, he turned back to Yu Qing and handed the ring back, "You should have got the explanation you wanted." He turned his head and looked at the corpse of the shark on the reef, "It was miscalculated. The punishment has been carried out by you personally, and it also paid the price with your life. How about letting it go?"
Yu Qing took the ring back, put it on his finger, and asked, "If I die on its hand, will my death be in vain?"
Dark Monk: "What do you want to say?"
Yu Qing: "Didn't you apologize? At least...should I get some compensation?"
Dark Monk: "What compensation do you want?"
Yu Qing: "I am a reasonable person, and I will not speak randomly. Just give me some money."
Dark Monk: "I said the 'fault' is on it, but it may not really be its fault. Who knows if you know the origin of this ring and deliberately trap the Sea Clan to blackmail it?"
Yu Qing stared, "Who dares to go to Ming Temple to blackmail you for money?"
The monk stirred the rosary in his hand and said calmly: "There is no right or wrong in Buddhism, and the Sauchen Temple has never apologized to anyone, and there is no need to apologize to anyone. If you insist on it, it will be gone. As long as there is room for ambiguity, you can stay in our temple and we will let you leave when the truth of the matter is found out."
The woman on the side smiled sweetly after hearing this.
The two young monks quietly clasped their hands and bowed their heads, barely feeling like reciting Amitabha.
"..."
Yu Qingning was speechless and stared at the other person. His words were clearly a threat. He finally choked out, "For the sake of Master, let it go."
After he finished speaking, he took a step forward, walked to the water's edge and squatted down. His hand with the ring on it reached into the water, and he followed the previous demonstration, and it made a dreamy sound of tinkling bells.
After using it in person, I roughly know what is going on. After casting a spell into the ring, the mana will extend along the shape of the ring surface to create a space, and when washed with water, it will make a sound. Is this refining technique good? Don't know, but it's really clever.
Since they refused to compensate, he had the final say. Logically speaking, he should leave.
But he didn't. After pulling his hands out of the water, he deliberately continued to squat there, silently calculating in his mind, waiting for someone to take the initiative to speak.
Sure enough, the underworld monk said, "Are you not planning to leave?"
Yu Qing then stood up, turned around and said, "Master, I misunderstood. I just think it's strange. Since the haenv's ring was left behind, she must not have gone to the immortal world. I would like to ask where she went. She was attacked by the immortal Did someone from the government kill him?"
The monk didn't even know who the haenyeo was before, so this question was tantamount to asking the wrong person.
As expected, the woman answered, "There is no fixed person who will be the haenyeo. Whoever is designated by the fairy palace is the one who will be the one. It is just a matter of handing the ring to the person. The last haenyeo did not go to the fairy world. Was she chosen by the fairy world? It’s unclear who killed those who invaded the Immortal Mansion, but she disappeared after the Immortal Mansion was breached.”
Yu Qing wanted to tell him what he heard from the innkeeper, that some people had seen people wearing the same ring, but he held back the words because at least for now, it seemed that these people didn't know, and it was probably a hundred questions. . If the other party really doesn't want to tell you, it won't help if you say more.
But he still tried to ask, "Don't haenyeo have names?"
He did not directly ask the haenyeo her name.
The underworld monk calmly continued, "You ask what the names of people thousands of years ago were?"
Yu Qing shrugged, "I'm just curious."
The woman said: "I told you that the Haenyeo is not a fixed person and may change at any time. I, the Sea Clan, only know the name 'Haenyeo'. Who can remember the name? Those who knew it have long since passed away."
Yu Qing secretly thought that the last Haenyeo was very likely to be the sister of Hercules from the perspective of time. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the way the monk looked at him, and he said the same thing. He didn't know if it was his imagination. , it always feels a little weird.
This weirdness made him feel uneasy. After thinking about it, he decided to leave and said, "In that case, I won't bother you."
The underworld monk clasped his hands together, and a young monk on the side immediately came to see the guest off. Yu Qing flew up the cliff and walked up the wall, and left.
Others also came to the cliff to watch.
When there were no other people around, the woman suddenly whispered: "Didn't you see the ring I winked at you? Why didn't you keep the ring instead of preventing me from getting it?"
The underworld monk walked slowly: "What's the use of keeping it?"
The woman whispered in a low voice: "I won't hide it from you, those two rings can be used as a key together. If you gather the two rings together, you can open the secret realm of the forbidden area of my Water Mansion."
After learning the secret, the monk said calmly: "When the opportunity comes, you don't need to look for it. The two rings will go to your water house. If you don't have the opportunity, you can't force it. You can't open it even if you hold a ring. He may even get into trouble. Do you know who this kid is?"
The woman was suspicious, "Who could it be?"
"Ashiheng."
"Uh, just the most talented person in the world?"
"The reason why Si Nan Mansion, Daye Division, and Qianliu Mountain were able to open Xiao Yunjian was because they were secretly watching him. Now he has brought a ring out of nowhere. How do you know those three families weren't secretly watching him?"
The woman thought thoughtfully and probably understood what he meant. She was worried that this might be someone's bait and she couldn't easily bite the hook.
However, Bo still said angrily, "Forget it, you have some conscience, at least you are on my side, at least you didn't ask me to apologize."
Dark Monk: "The poor monk is not here to help you, but that guy is not a good guy. He is very courageous and dares to come to the poor monk to cheat."
The woman was suspicious, "How can I tell you? What did I lie to you?"
The monk smiled and did not answer.
At this time, the young monk Changfeng came to reply and said that he had sent away the guests.
After the monk nodded slightly, he suddenly asked: "Three years ago, where did the young man who was sent to the temple for treatment of his broken arm go?"
Changfeng didn't know why he suddenly asked this, and replied: "I don't know. After he was cured, he was handed over to the Duke's people to escort him away. He should have returned safely, otherwise there would be inquiries."
