Deep in Guixu, there is a vast and deep lake. In the middle of the lake, there is a large, rugged island with some vague houses and buildings on it.
This place is called Shark Island.
There are not many sea monsters who are qualified to enter Guixu, and even fewer can survive inside. However, the only people who have the conditions to create a suitable habitat in the dried up ruins are the Shark Clan.
As the messengers of the Goddess, they hold a lofty status among the sea monsters.
It was not difficult to find out about this settlement. Wang Xuanling and two children kidnapped a lone siren and asked "politely" to get the answer.
The golden loach had returned to Xu Ziyang's hands earlier. Now he released it. It immediately jumped into the water, spun around in a circle, and then immediately rushed in one direction.
Chu Liang just asked. The name of this thing is "Xunlong". It is a magical spiritual beast that relies on spiritual senses to find things. You can find everything you see up close. Although it looks like an ordinary golden loach, there are actually no more than three existing in the world.
Xu Ziyang also found this Xunlong frozen in a secret place, and then rescued it and made it recognize its owner. In terms of age, this thing is at least three thousand years old.
Not one beard grows in vain.
After crossing the water all the way to Sharman Island, the three of them carefully concealed themselves. After leaving the water, Xunlong is not that sensitive and moves forward very slowly. Fortunately, all the sharks here should have gone out, and there are not many left, so it is easy to avoid them.
After wandering around for a while, we came to a rock on the other side of the island.
There is a mermaid girl here who is facing the lake in trance. Her black hair is disheveled, her back is slender, and she has an ethereal aura.
Xu Ziyang took a step forward, and the girl turned around when she heard the sound. It was the mermaid princess.
"Young hero?" The moment she saw Xu Ziyang, her eyes suddenly lit up.
But soon I found that there were two people behind him, an old man who didn't look like a good guy and a smiling baby-faced man.
The Mermaid princess suddenly became alert again. Perhaps because of the danger she had just experienced, she straightened her body and backed up, maintaining a position in which she could enter the water at any time.
"Princess, don't panic, these are my master and junior brother, we have no ill intentions." Xu Ziyang said loudly.
Listening to his rich, clear and magnetic voice, the Mermaid Princess hesitantly lowered her guard and asked, "What are you doing here on my Merman Island?"
"We came here specifically to find the princess." Xu Ziyang said truthfully.
"Ah..." Princess Mermaid let out a low voice of surprise, and suddenly lowered her head, "This and this... why did you come to see me all the way? You and I met by chance, and I don't even know your name, why did you come here? It doesn’t make sense to bring your family members with you, and…”
"Princess, what are you talking about?" Xu Ziyang wondered: "Now there are thieves who are using the will of the Goddess to cause trouble in the South China Sea. We are here to tell you. If not you, who should we turn to?"
"Oh." Princess Mermaid raised her head, the blush on her face quickly faded, and she flipped her hair seemingly carelessly, "So that's what happened."
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Xu Ziyang asked.
"I'm fine." Princess Mermaid smiled.
After another pause, her eyes suddenly widened: "What? Someone pretended to spread the will of the Goddess to cause trouble in the South China Sea!"
Xu Ziyang looked confused, wondering why this girl looked so smart but not very smart.
Chu Liang looked at Wang Xuanling with narrow eyes and whispered: "Senior Brother Xu is usually very intelligent, why is he so slow in this kind of thing?"
"No way." Wang Xuanling seemed to have remembered something, and sighed: "Whose apprentice looks like whom."
Chu Liang immediately glared: "Why do you always curse people when you talk?"
…
After sitting down for a long conversation, the three of them also explained the matter clearly to the Mermaid Princess.
The shark royal family all have "Baozhu" as their surname, the princess is named Baozhu Liange, and the three of them call her Princess Liange.
After Chu Liang told this series of speculations, Princess Lian Ge also frowned deeply, "I noticed something was wrong last time. Usually the will of the Goddess Mother brought by Jin Chan is warm, but this time the will of the Goddess Mother is... It’s extremely cold. But even with Haishi’s strong push, mother can’t disobey her will.”
"Maybe the reason why they want to attack the princess is because they are afraid that you will find something fishy and expose the conspiracy." Chu Liang said.
"Yes!" Princess Lian Ge stood up and said, "I have to tell my mother about this and let her lead the Kraken clan against the Navy! We can't let him start a war and disrupt our homeland."
The Queen of the Shark Race is also highly respected among the Siren Race. If anyone can openly oppose the Marine Division, it should be her.
In fact, the quarrel between the Mermaid Queen and the Marine Master did not happen in a day or two.
The Guixu Divine Sect under the leadership of Master Hai was originally intended to protect Guixu and prevent the majesty of the Goddess from being violated by outsiders.
However, during the hundreds of years that Haishi was in charge, the Guixu Divine Sect began to grow stronger and stronger, and it also began to hunt human races outside of Guixu. It has killed many fishermen and attracted many sieges by practitioners.
The Kraken tribe naturally supports this kind of behavior to relieve their anger, but the Mermaid Queen feels that this may cause greater conflicts, and hopes that the sea master can just defend Guixu.
The Sirens are scattered in the vast sea. It is rare that the two leaders have different opinions, so they have never been able to gather together.
The reason why they were able to unite their forces to attack the Kyushu Continent this time was because of the will of the Goddess.
If it is confirmed that this decree is a forgery, then the Mermaid Queen will raise her arms, and the majority of the Siren race must still hope for peace.
Under the leadership of Princess Lian Ge, the three of them also followed the waterway and entered a palace in the center of Merman Island.
This palace can be called luxurious among the ruins, but it is just a white palace with little decoration. The color looks like it is made of the bones of some huge creature.
With the princess leading the way, the group of shark guards did not intercept them, and they arrived at the center of the hall smoothly.
There is a pool on the high platform, and there is a throne in the pool. The beautiful Mermaid Queen was sitting on the throne, wearing a golden gauze robe, with beautiful hair, and her eyes raised high, looking at several people with a very unkind look.
"Lian Ge, how dare you bring human cultivators here?" She asked in a stern tone: "Did they threaten you?"
"No, mother!" Princess Liange said hurriedly: "Xu Shaoxia is the practitioner who saved me. They are all good people. What I want to tell you is the conspiracy of Haishi!"
Immediately, she repeated everything that Chu Liang had said to her just now to the Mermaid Queen. It's probably Jin Chan who is fake, but it's actually Ying Huo's conspiracy.
Then there was silence for a while.
The Mermaid Queen thought for a long time, then suddenly flew up and said: "Follow me."
Princess Liange naturally listened to her mother's words and went with her. Xu Ziyang and others didn't know why, so they followed her.
After bypassing the steps of the throne, she pressed some mechanism, and a wall inside pushed open to both sides, revealing an empty golden pool. When the water is calm, it looks like a ground made of pure gold.
"If you want to find evidence to prove the authenticity of the golden toad, you have to go down." After saying this, the Mermaid Queen jumped first and jumped into the pool.
Princess Liange hesitated for a moment, then jumped in.
Wang Xuanling and the two younger ones looked at each other and then entered the pool. In the vast golden color, it is extremely difficult to see with the naked eye. You can only rely on your spiritual sense to feel the front, and follow the shadow of Princess Liange to slowly dive down.
This pool didn't look big, but it was extremely deep. It kept going downward for a long time before it reached the bottom of the pool. There is a water hole here. After getting in, it was completely dry inside. Not a drop of the golden pool water outside can come in.
However, after the three of them entered the water cave one after another, they only saw Princess Lian Ge, not the Shark Queen.
"Where's mother?" Princess Liange looked at the three of them blankly.
"Bad." Chu Liang realized something was wrong and when he wanted to turn around, he saw a sudden change.
The golden pool water outside the cave solidified almost instantly, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a huge solidified golden pillar. And the exit of this water hole was tightly blocked!
"trap?"
Wang Xuanling raised her eyebrows and struck with the demon-slaying sword fiercely.
laugh--
The sword slashed through, and the sword energy opened up a few feet of cracks. I wanted to dig in, but I didn't know how long it would take.
"Chu Liang, it seems that you are still going to use your spiritual beast to swallow." Wang Xuanling said.
Ah.
If you don't need it, call it a sky-eating insect; if you need it, call it a swallow.
Chu Liang cursed, looking at the spiritual golden pillar, he was also a little frightened, "Can't I give Tun Tun eighty cents of his fill?"
Just as the three of them were thinking about how to break out, they heard the voice of the Mermaid Queen coming from outside.
"This is the Shark Cave. Go ahead. Everything you want to know can be answered inside."
…
"Shark Cave?"
Princess Liange looked extremely surprised when she heard her mother's voice.
"This is a forbidden area that only successive queens of our Shark tribe can enter. Is this where it turns out to be?"
"Queens of all dynasties?" Wang Xuanling, Xu Ziyang, and Chu Liang looked at each other.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Liang said: "Actually, I think we can go inside and have a look. If the Mermaid Queen's purpose is to use a trap to trap us, there is no reason to use her only daughter as bait. I think there should be something wrong with her. , wants to let us know.”
"Then why not say it directly, but use this method?" Wang Xuanling asked.
"You may have to watch to know." Chu Liang stepped forward first and lit up the Divine Light Sword. The red light suddenly illuminated the cave in front.
This was another long and narrow road. The four of them walked forward cautiously for an unknown amount of time, and finally felt the color of the surrounding walls change. It turned from tough gold to embossed black, and various carvings began to appear on it.
"It seems to be a mural, telling ancient stories..." Chu Liang touched it. There were complicated symbols on the top of the mural, "These seem to be characters?"
"It's the ancient writing of our Shark race." Princess Lian Ge said.
"Do you know him?" Chu Liang was surprised.
"I don't know any of them." Princess Lian Ge said.
Okay.
I bet you, Princess, are still a pretty little illiterate.
Looking at the eyes of the three people, Princess Lian Ge blushed again and said: "This kind of ancient writing is extremely complex. We now all use human writing, so we don't need these anymore... But I have jade slips with recorded writing, which can be compared. .”
She quickly took out a jade slip and started translating.
While she was wrinkling her little face to read the words, Chu Liang and the other three looked at the murals on the wall.
It should also be about the changes in heaven and earth in ancient times.
The sky collapsed, the earth shattered, endless water and fire fell from the sky, and the creatures on the land had no way to escape. The rain all over the sky merged into the sea and soon swallowed up the land.
And the Goddess of the Sea also became a powerful person in the ninth realm.
Her image in the mural is that of a shark full of aura.
The Goddess is extremely merciful and protects the creatures who have fallen into the sea on land and built ruins for them to live on the seabed for many years.
until one day……
There was lightning and thunder, and the Goddess Mother died in the thunder and lightning in the sky. The scene in the sky may be because the person who carved the mural couldn't see clearly, there was only a chaos of colors.
But what is clearly visible is that on the other side of the sea, there are several small human figures watching this scene happen from a distance.
Huh?
Chu Liang murmured in his heart when he saw it. There was also such a scene when the Dragon God carved in the Canglong Secret Territory fell.
Who are those people who appear in every Ninth Realm's fall? Could it be that they are responsible for all this?
At the end of the mural, after the death of the Goddess, the sea water gradually receded, the earth was exposed to the sky again, and the creatures in the ruins also returned to the land.
But there are still many sea people gathered in the place of return to ruins, surrounding the body of the Goddess Mother. In the previous scene, it was obvious that the Goddess Mother had disappeared, but in this scene she was still lying there peacefully, as if she had just slept and would wake up at any time.
"What does this mean..." He couldn't help but murmured.
At this time, Princess Lian Ge found out the meaning of those words one by one, and said in her mouth: "The Goddess Mother of the Chongming Avenue will finally reunite..."
"resurrection?!"
Good morning.
