Chapter 10

Ling Jiuyao raised his hand to cover his eyes, and after the light dissipated, he lowered his hand and looked forward, only to see that the stone room in front of him was filled with white beads the size of pebbles, and in the middle of them was a transparent one that was more eye-catching. ice coffin.

Ling Jiuyao thought for a moment, then walked in slowly.

Qi Yu looked around, smiled suddenly, and said, "Ah Yao, you might as well guess what are these white beads?"

Ling Jiuyao glanced at it casually, and said: "It's nothing more than some bone beads made from the dead corpses of sharks, which are of the same nature as human ashes."

"How did you know, Ah Yao?" Qi Yu jumped to Ling Jiuyao's side, and the golden bell on his waist also rang.

Ling Jiuyao glanced at him helplessly, feeling that this person's thirst for knowledge was really strong.

"There are not many sharks in the first place, so this bone bead is a rare thing. In addition, it can emit light and is more durable than night pearls. Some people use it and put it at home as a lamp," Ling Jiuyao explained, "But it is People with high status and money can do it, but there are not many of them.”

Qi Yu, on the other hand, couldn't let go of the bone bead: "Ah Yao, you know so well, could it be that you were also a nobleman before?"

Ling Jiuyao gave him a funny look. He could only be considered to have a little more money than ordinary people, but he was not so extravagant.

"I've seen it used in other people's homes and in auction houses, but I've never used it before." Ling Jiuyao casually took a bone bead and looked at it carefully, "After all, it's really intrusive to put at home. "

The two of them tugged back and forth here, but they were not in a hurry to see who was lying in the ice coffin.

Looking at it, it must be an ancestor of the mermaids. Who would care about what a person who has been dead for many years looks like.

"Ah Yao, come and take a look at this." Qi Yu walked to the innermost part of the stone room at some point, and called Ling Jiuyao there.

Ling Jiuyao put the bone beads back, answered him and went inside. When he passed the ice coffin, he glanced subconsciously, and vaguely saw that the person was a woman.

"What did you ask me to do here?" Ling Jiuyao asked.

Qi Yu pointed to a stone platform in front of him, on which was a scroll of white jade.

He unfolded the scroll, but there was no writing on it.

Qi Yu pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, why is there no word for this?"

Ling Jiuyao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and injected some spiritual power into it with a wave of his hand, and a string of golden symbols appeared in the air above the scroll.

That's the language of the shark race.

"Ah Yao, do you know what is written on it?"

Ling Jiuyao glanced at those symbols impatiently, but still calmed down and said to Qi Yu: "This is the genealogy of the sharks."

Qi Yu reached out to touch the words, and unexpectedly found that they could be flipped, so he swiped back enthusiastically.

Ling Jiuyao looked at Qi Yu, who had turned into a three-year-old child in front of him, and couldn't figure out what medicine he bought in the gourd for a moment.

Not long after, Qi Yu stopped, pointed at a row of words casually, and said, "Ah Yao, do you recognize the words written on it?"

Ling Jiuyao's patience was exhausted, and he was about to explode, but stopped when he looked up and saw the row Qi Yu was pointing at.

"Qi Yu, did you find out that she has a problem a long time ago?"

The row that Qi Yu pointed to was the name of Nan Chen's generation.

The strange thing is that the name "Nanling" is not on it.

Qi Yu pursed his lips and smiled: "Ah Yao, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Install, and then install.

Ling Jiuyao gave him a hard look, then turned to look at the merman's genealogy again.

"I kind of know why a mermaid royal family is so simple that they trust me so much when they first meet. They don't go to those cultivation sects that they are friendly with when they ask for help. Instead, they like a lone army like me."

Ling Jiuyao picked up the white jade scroll, played with it for a while, and then threw it on the stone platform without mercy.

"So it was to plot against me."

Qi Yu looked at the scroll with distress, and bent down to straighten it.

"Ah Yao, even if you are tricked by others, don't get angry at the eighteenth generation of other people's ancestors."

Ling Jiuyao suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said to Qi Yu, "You see that there is something wrong with the mermaids, why didn't you remind me?"

Qi Yu smiled and said, "If I told you, wouldn't you come?"

Ling Jiuyao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

He still has to get the chess piece from the Shark Race, and he will never stop coming to Nanming Sea just because this is a trick others have set for him.

"Let's go," Ling Jiuyao patted Qi Yu's shoulder, "Go and see which of their ancestors is lying in the ice coffin."

Qi Yu smiled and asked: "A Yao, aren't you not interested in this?"

"I was deceived by the sharks now," Ling Jiuyao smiled viciously, "Maybe I have to carry that person to threaten them later, so as to get the place back."

Qi Yu smiled and shook his head: "Ah Yao, you really don't look like a bad person."

Ling Jiuyao smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I'm not a good person in the first place."

"You said it yourself, I didn't force you." Qi Yu said innocently.

Ling Jiuyao didn't want to mess with him on this issue, so he walked towards the ice coffin as soon as he took a step.

When he saw clearly the person in the ice coffin, he was stunned.

"This merman is pretty pretty." Qi Yu stood still beside him.

Beautiful, really beautiful.

A head of long blue-purple hair, a face like a jade carving, bright red lips, and a hint of blood under the skin, as if she was asleep.

There was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, as if seeing outsiders made her very happy.

Ling Jiuyao knew her identity just by looking at her.

"Mother shark." Ling Jiuyao suddenly said.

Hearing this address, Qi Yu took up his words after a little thought: "You mean the Merman Empress who led the Merman Clan to prosper many years ago?"

Although this empress did not give birth to the merman family, she was dubbed the "Mother of the merman", which shows the merman's respect for her.

Ling Jiuyao pointed at her wrist through the ice coffin: "Look at the chain she wears, it's exactly the same as the one I saw in the ancient book."

"If she is really a shark mother," Qi Yu mused, "that would be strange."

"How to say?"

Qi Yu said with a smile: "With her identity, she should have been refined into bone beads and placed high above this stone room for sacrifice. Why do you still keep the corpse?"

Ling Jiuyao retorted: "Couldn't it be that they revered her too much and kept the corpse to pay their respects?"

"No, no, no," Qi Yu shook his head, "The corpse of a mermaid is a huge treasure. Whether it's bones, hair or fish scales, they are all coveted materials for refining weapons. Even bone beads can be used for lighting. .”

"The higher the skill in life, the higher the value after death, so the sharks have always been taboo to keep the corpses of their clansmen. Besides, this is their shark mother. Do you think they will keep people's minds?"

"unless……"

"Unless there is some compelling reason." Ling Jiuyao interrupted him.

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the stone platform just now.

"But what does that have to do with me?"

Qi Yu hurriedly followed him, and said with a smile, "A Yao, aren't you curious?"

Ling Jiuyao bent down and looked for something under the stone platform.

With his head down, Ling Jiuyao's voice sounded a bit muffled: "I just want to get the chess pieces in their hands, and I don't care why they keep this corpse."

With a "click", Ling Jiuyao pressed a mechanism under the stone platform.

At the same time, a passage was opened on the wall behind the stone platform.

Ling Jiuyao was about to walk in, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a stone inscription on the wall.

Those were the characters of the Sharks, but they were their ancient characters, so he only recognized part of them.

He frowned, not wanting Qi Yu to see his reaction, so he immediately looked away.

Strange, when did the merman start a war with the human race?

After knowing that the merman was related to the chess pieces, he deliberately checked the history of the merman race, but he didn't find such a thing.

As he walked forward, he called Xiao Bai and asked him if he knew something.

Xiaobai was also a little puzzled, because as the chess spirit of Star Chess, he didn't even know that there had been such a conflict between the mermaids and the human race.

Ling Jiuyao shook his head in his heart, and felt more and more that Xingqi was not as powerful as it was said in the legend, and the chess spirit he raised was actually a questioner who knew nothing.

Noticing that the distance between Qi Yu behind him and himself was getting bigger and bigger, Ling Jiuyao suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "You are fascinated by the shark mother because she is so good-looking, so you left like this slow?"

Qi Yu immediately leaned over with a smile, and said, "How can it be, A Yao, you are much prettier than her, if I want to be fascinated, I must be fascinated by you."

Ling Jiuyao gave him a friendly smile: "Don't you think the adjective 'good-looking' is not suitable for me? It is more appropriate for you to use it yourself."

Qi Yu laughed out loud, and then said to him, "Ah Yao, I will be embarrassed if you praise me so much."

Ling Jiuyao felt that the face in front of him was thicker than the city wall. I was sorry that this thing could not appear on him at all, so he rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Okay, okay," Qi Yu said with a smile, "I slowed down my steps to pay attention to whether there is any danger behind me, and I want to protect you, A Yao, don't be angry."

Ling Jiuyao said, "Angry? I'm not angry?"

He just didn't like Qi Yu and wanted to stab him everywhere.

Qi Yu didn't know whether he believed it or not, so he nodded and said "yes" before obediently continuing to walk forward with him.

They mentioned Shark Mother here, but a crack slowly appeared on Shark Mother's ice coffin.

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was a stranger.

The two walked to the end of the passage and saw a stone ladder leading to the ground, so they stepped up, but they didn't expect to see several black fog people as soon as they came out.

Ling Jiuyao found out in time and pushed Qi Yu aside to avoid them.

Qi Yu felt a little strange: "A Yao, aren't you afraid of them? Why do you still want to hide?"

Ling Jiuyao said speechlessly: "I'm not afraid of them, but I don't want to scare the snake. If they find out, they want to fight us to the death, kill those mermaids first, and I won't get the chess pieces."

The main reason is that he can't grab the white chess with his hands, which is very troublesome.

Qi Yu nodded: "That's true."

"But A Yao, why are you looking for this pawn?" he asked.

And his act of knowingly asking questions really made Xiaobai on the chessboard roll his eyes fiercely.

Bah, I can pretend to be anything in order to talk to Ling Jiuyao!

Ling Jiuyao didn't want to answer this sharp question, and it happened that someone from this person called them softly and rescued him.

"Brother Ling, is that you?"
