Chapter 516
Jiao Lan'er rebuilt her home in the underground city of the Southern Continent according to the ancestral teachings, but it was very strange that this place was not as rich and fertile as Jiao Zhongxuan's divination, there was dry and cracked land everywhere, there were no plants, only some weeds and wild fruits.
"Could it be that the ancestors' divination went wrong? No, the ancestors' ability to get through the ghosts and gods will not go wrong. Could it be that time has passed, and this place has changed from rich to barren? Jiao Lan'er thought like this, and for a while she didn't know where the future of the clan would go.
She stared at the well next to her, thinking bitterly.
Wrong! Well! There are wells and water, but why is this such a dry place? There's quirkiness here.
Jiao Lan'er ordered a few big men to bring a bucket of water up, only to see that the water quality was clear, without a trace of dirt, take a cup and drink it, the aftertaste is sweet, just a little salty?
"This is the mainland, how can there be such salty well water? It's like the sea. Jiao Lan'er really couldn't figure out why the ancestors moved their clansmen to this strange place, but with this well and a few small wild fruit trees, although the Jiao clan had a hard time, they did not see any natural or man-made disasters.
One day, Wang Dazhuang, a big man in the village, took water from the well as usual, and suddenly found that there was a walnut-sized pearl in the bucket, which shocked Wang Dazhuang, he didn't dare to hide such an important thing, and trotted all the way to deliver the pearl to the village chief Jiao Lan'er.
Jiao Lan'er looked at this pearl carefully, the texture was not gold or stone, but it was like a pearl, but it was faintly glowing with blue light, and it looked like a round jade.
In the hand, it is not as cold as ordinary gold and silver jewelry, but has a faint warmth. Jiao Lan'er frowned, always feeling that she had seen this kind of orb before, the high priest on the side seemed to have thought of something, his eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't speak for a while. After a long while, he held back a sentence: "Isn't this a merman's tears?" "
After all, it is the Jiao family, although it is strictly forbidden to use the art of ghosts and gods, but the inheritance is there after all, and it is no wonder that they will recognize this ancient curiosity.
This is really a merman tear, and it is a fresh merman tear.
I only heard the high priest tell everyone: "The merman people are an ancient alien race, only occasionally haunted in the South China Sea, with a human head and a fish body, a strong body, and a hegemon in the sea, and a merman who is intelligent, good at weaving and good at language." Not many people have ever seen the merman, but it is said that the tears of the merman are hot, and the eyes that flow out of the eyes become pearls, the pearls are round and jade, crystal clear, faintly glowing, like jade but not jade, and the gold and stone are not urging.
It's just that the tears of the merman are extremely damaging to the body, so there are very few merman tears in the world. Everyone fell silent after hearing this, could it be that these days are different from the ancients. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
Jiao Lan'er remembered the prophecy of her ancestors, and asked the high priest in a low voice: Can you be friendly with others? Can you get along with them? "
The high priest replied, "The merman is intelligent and gentle, but it is said that the merman is born with a glass heart, and cannot be contaminated with the filth of the world." If the village chief wants to be friendly with the merman, he must treat him with a sincere heart, otherwise he will anger the merman clan, and with our strength, we will not be able to withstand the wrath of this ancient alien race. "
Jiao Lan'er was overjoyed: "The high priest said how we should convey good intentions to the merman clan?" "
"The merman is a sea tribe, and naturally he is different from us landers, and he does not covet gold, silver and jewelry. However, the Sea Tribes are far from the interior, and perhaps the curiosities of the inland will be extremely scarce for them. "
Jiao Lan'er thought for a while, and her expression gradually became firm: "Our Jiao family migrated from the Western Regions, and after a hundred years, almost all the rare treasures we brought at the beginning have been squandered. Only one of the Western Regions 10,000-year-old snow ginseng is still precious, so I will give it as a gift to the merman clan. "
"Village Chief!!
"I have made up my mind about this matter, and I don't need to persuade again!" Jiao Lan'er thought of the high hopes of her ancestors, and thought that she had to take a risk this time.
On this day, the most water-savvy man in the village stood by the well, holding this 10,000-year-old snow ginseng that the whole village regarded as a treasure in both hands.
"Village chief, I'm going." With that, he jumped up and entered the water, leaving only a group of people on the shore looking nervously and anxiously to the bottom of the water. Time passed little by little, even the most water-savvy people in the village, it was time to go ashore at this time, could it be that something happened underwater? Even if it was Jiao Lan'er, the village chief who had always been calm, he clenched his fists at this time. If they don't come back, they drown.
Most of the days have passed, and the people in the village understand that no one can hold their breath underwater for so long, and this overture ended in failure after all, wasting a 10,000-year-old snow ginseng in vain, not to mention, and taking a human life.
Everyone felt uncomfortable, but they did not want to retreat from the well, and perhaps in the midst of despair, everyone still had a desire for a miracle in their hearts.
"The village chief...
"Wait"
The deathly silence was broken with a pop, and two heads burst out of the water, one of which was the villager who had gone into the water earlier, and the other was an extremely handsome man, with blue hair and blue eyes, and a strong tail fin on the lower half of his body, which was covered with tiny blue scales.
Just at this glance, I stunned everyone by the well, as if they forgot that this man was a deep-sea alien, and there were such handsome people in the world!
"In Xiajiaojia Village, Jiao Lan'er, the village chief, is willing to make friends with the mermaid family. Sincere heart, the sun and the moon can be seen. The village head, Jiao Lan'er, was the first to break the silence, bent down slightly, and said to the mermaid in the water.
The merman stared at Jiao Lan'er, unable to see any expression, his eyes were so deep that he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
"My people did not want to be involved in the affairs of the world, let alone have contact with people on the land. It's just that the snow ginseng you gave is really of great use to our clan, and our clan has to repay this great favor. Today, seeing that the patriarch is simple and kind, honest and simple, not as sinister as the rumored Lu people, my clan is willing to invite the patriarch to come to our clan palace to talk about it.
