"My mother?" Yu Sheng looked up and down the bag and saw that the material of the bag was almost gauze and the color turned from green to white frost.
The clothes made of this fabric are absolutely elegant and luxurious.
He turned back to Aunt Qing and said, "What kind of material is this? I'll make one for you later."
"This material is called Jiao Yasha, also known as Longsha..." Xianyu jumped up on the table, glanced at it and said its name.
"Who told you to say that? Turn over and go away." Just half of the words were said, and Xianyu was thrown away by Yu Sheng.
For the rest of my life, I am worried about not being able to talk to Aunt Qing. This salted fish is causing trouble.
"That's right. It's the dragon gauze. It's named after it was worn on your mother's body. Its price is a thousand dollars per inch in the wilderness." Aunt Qing said.
Yu Sheng was shocked, "My mother, doesn't she walk around with tens of thousands of strings hanging on her all day long?"
He touched the cloth bag. The material was very soft and it must be very comfortable to wear, but it was too expensive. "It's not worth it," Yu Sheng said.
"The dragon gauze doesn't get wet in the water, doesn't get dusty, and is priceless. You can only see it in two places on weekdays. Do you think it's worth it?" Aunt Qing said.
"That's quite worth it." Yu Sheng said, "Outside King Huang's palace, where else can I see it?"
"Nanming Longxiao Palace!" Aunt Qing said, but Longxiao Palace is isolated from the world. Except for regular offerings to the King of the East Huang, the ruler of the water, few dragon gauze are spread out.
"Longxiao Palace, where is that place?" Yu Sheng asked doubtfully.
"We'll talk about it later, you open the bag first." Aunt Qing ordered.
Yu Sheng followed his words, untied the rope and looked inside.
"Hoo", Yu Sheng's eyes widened, and he saw that they were full of pearl-like things the size of tears.
There is no such thing as forgery in this era, so this thing is most likely a very special pearl.
"Although it's not worth much, it's enough to get some jewelry for my little aunt." Yu Sheng said, because of the proliferation of shellfish on the sea, pearls are not valuable at all in seaside cities.
Aunt Qing stood up and took a look, "That bag belongs to me. Xiao Yu'er is really generous." She grabbed it easily.
Yu Sheng was stunned. This bag was definitely not some kind of pearl. Otherwise, Aunt Qing, who was still sulking just now, would not be able to change her mood so easily.
Aunt Qing took out a bead from the bag and saw that the bead was glossier than pearls, white and translucent, and very beautiful.
"There are sharks living in the South China Sea. They live in the water like fish. They don't waste their weaving. When their eyes cry, they can produce pearls." Aunt Qing played with them and explained to Yu Sheng, "These are shark pearls."
"Shark beads!" Cao'er and Bai Gaoxing said in unison, looking at the beads in Aunt Qing's hand in surprise.
This thing is a treasure. It not only looks good, but also has spiritual power. It is also a magic weapon for forming formations and even storing power. One piece is worth at least a thousand pieces.
The night before yesterday, if Aunt Qing had this thing, she would not be so weak when wielding the Peony Sword Formation that she fell asleep.
"It's weird." Xianyu jumped on the table again, "How could Longsha and Shark Pearl appear in Taotie's belly? There's something fishy about it."
"What's weird?" Yu Sheng was puzzled. This glutton will eat anything, so it's not surprising that he would eat this thing.
"This has to start four thousand years ago." Aunt Qing threw the beads back and tied the bag.
The shark beads are transformed from the shark's tears. In order to get the shark beads, you must make the shark cry.
Those who can use the Shark Pearls are not those who are short of money. This makes the Shark Pearls highly valuable and makes many people risk their lives to enter Nanming and capture the Shark Pearls as slaves.
After catching the shark, you don't let it die, but whip and torture it all day long, and even turn the female into a plaything, and make it cry when you sell yourself for money, so you can make a lot of money every day.
This is a sure-fire, profitable business that naturally attracts many people, including martial arts masters, Taoists, semi-immortals, even immortals and acquired gods to join.
Later, many land monsters also joined them.
A clan of sharks could feed many people, so dozens of cities were built on the banks of Nanming.
Among them is the Shark Mei City, which is dedicated to humans and female sharks having sex in the water; there is the Jiaoxiao City, where the sharks are forced to weep and weep.
With their cruelty to the sharks, their continuous enslavement and insatiable greed, they finally provoked the sharks and dragon fish to fight back, and the Mermaid War began four thousand years ago.
At first, the sharks were victorious one after another, destroying many ships and causing the shark pearl business in many cities to plummet.
However, the decrease of sharks has caused the price of shark beads to rise. The higher price makes more humans and demons go crazy, and also attracts more demons and humans to join.
Later, not only the land monsters, but also the water monsters were attracted and joined the business of catching sharks as slaves.
Among them, the most frightening thing among the sharks is the three-legged turtle. This turtle is combined with a human and sits on its back. Entering the shark's territory is like entering an uninhabited land.
From then on, the sharks retreated steadily, until the carnival of siege and suppression of the sharks attracted the attention of King Donghuang.
A tsunami swept through Nanming, flooding the cities where sharks were the main business, and killing the immortals, humans, and gods who had done evil.
The Shui Tribe were also punished one after another, and those who joined the slave business even came close to being exterminated.
The three-legged turtles of that tribe never came out again, and were ashamed of other tribes.
As for the Shark clan, they were moved to the depths of Nanming by King Donghuang. King Donghuang's palace, Longxuan Palace, was isolated from the world and never appeared in human sight again for four thousand years.
This battle is not worthy of a special mention in history, where gods, monsters, and humans have been fighting for a whole year, massacring cities and annihilating people.
The King of Donghuang even destroyed the Long Bo clan, and these cities were not enough to be recorded in her history, but this battle was still recorded in the history written by Taishi City.
Because the slave business started from this, from then on there were no longer slaves because of the war (lost in the war and became slaves), but became slaves who went to the war because of the slaves.
Hearing Aunt Qing narrate this period of history, I was speechless for the rest of my life, even though he had already heard many stories about the annihilation of cities and genocide.
But this time is different, because his mother, the King of Donghuang, the person he will become in the future, uses huge waves to tell the world that I am the lord of the Four Seas.
"Sooner or later, I will let the whole world know that all the fish ponds in the world are contracted by you." Yu Sheng took the place of the Queen of the East Wasteland and said to her aunt.
Aunt Qing rolled her eyes at her, this is all such a mess.
"Actually, this period of history is not as simple as it seems." The blind storyteller sitting next to him, covering his eyes, said, waiting for the moment to be revealed.
Yu Sheng looked up at him, "Why, is there something more complicated?"
The blind storyteller nodded, "There is another story in Taishi City about the Mermaid War four thousand years ago, but it was just because of the dignity of the two kings that it was never told outside."
These storytellers are the most well-informed and know the best about the legends and records circulating in Taishi City.
Yu Sheng then asked: "Does Taishi City have other interpretations of this battle?"
The blind storyteller hesitated and said, "We heard this statement when we visited Taishi City, but we can't guarantee that it is true."
Facing the rest of his life, the storyteller felt it was better to be cautious, after all, his status was unusual.
"But it doesn't matter." Yu Sheng said.
Taishi City regards history as its city, and enjoys talking about history all day long. When storytellers traveled there, it happened that people in Taishi City had different opinions on this period of history.
They believed that the so-called Mermaid War was a test by the King of the Southern Wilderness to the King of the Eastern Wilderness.
The bank of Nanming is the territory of the King of the Southern Wilderness. In the past, humans, demons and gods borrowed money from the bank to do the shark slave business, borrowed money to build the city, and even borrowed money to fight the mermaid war.
As for the shark pearls collected, as well as a series of businesses centered on the sharks, a large amount of taxes must be paid to the King of Nanhuang.
In order to expand business and maximize profits, many cities will continue to borrow money from banks after seeing the benefits, leading to high debts.
Later, the King of the Eastern Wilderness flooded all the cities, and everyone, including monsters and gods, lost all their blood. Only the King of the Southern Wilderness made a lot of money.
King Donghuang later robbed King Nanhuang's treasury, which was probably not due to this reason.
"There are even rumors..." the storyteller said in a solemn and low tone, "that there was a money bank behind the slave business that emerged later, and the King of the Southern Wilderness was promoting it."
