The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 443 Mermaid Queen ([-]-in-[-])

These notes come from a shark master named "Quanxian". Although the records he left behind are not many, they vividly show the struggle, madness and despair of the shark clan trapped here for decades...

"For decades, I have watched the food gradually deplete, this kind of despair, this kind of despair..." Baoguan listened to what Zhao Chen read and felt inexplicably sad for those sharks.

——Since being rescued by her brother and returning to a normal "life", her emotions have become more and more abundant, and she is no different from a normal person.

“This kind of despair is similar to your ‘Sons of Atonement’, right?

"The 'Atonement Sons' also waited helplessly until they reached adulthood, and then were killed... No, they are probably even more desperate than the 'Atonement Sons'. After all, you were not taught this kind of emotion at the beginning." Zhao Chen sighed, somewhat Now I understand what "Quanxian" said at the end about "alternative grievances".

"No... I don't know about others, but my brother always secretly taught me something before, so I already understood what 'atonement' specifically meant... I was actually very scared and resentful that day, but at that time I still don’t know how to express it." Baoguan shook his head and pursed his lips.

"Indeed, the real 'Atonement Son' actually doesn't have much resentment, so the imperial court allowed the rise of the two leftist sects, and allowed Yi Lingxiao and Yi Shan to make sneaky moves against the 'Atonement Son'... because that Tai The Empress Dowager needs a lead, a lead that ignites the resentment in the souls of the remaining 'sons'.

"It seems that this plan to pollute the Cave Sky may have started more than a hundred years ago, much earlier than I thought...

"Letting the three real people seize the origin of the 'Dongtian' and escape to Xuantian is probably part of the plan, in order to make the 'Dongtian' continue to weaken and lose its ability to resist 'pollution'.

"In that case, the 'God of Misfortune' Song Wurui would not be the original planner...so he just helped to improve it and arranged his own back-up plan?"

Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered a few words silently to himself, then turned his attention to the last few pages of the notes.

I saw it... What did the shark monk see?
  Was the phrase "Queen" just a mouth habit, or did he really see the Queen again?

Well, there was no such habit in his previous notes. In other words, at the moment when his life was about to come to an end, he really saw the Mermaid Queen?

The Queen came out of the so-called "hole"?
  Or is it that the Queen has already turned into a monster...and become an accomplice of the mastermind behind the scenes?
  Because there were not many clues, Zhao Chen could not deduce too much, so he gathered his thoughts and took the crown to inspect the house where the powerful mermaid lived before his death.

But after some searching, he only found two items of moderate value.

The first is the "Shark Pearl", as the saying goes "The moon pearl in the sea has tears". It is said that this object is transformed into the tears of the Shark people when they are sad. It is not only exquisite in shape, round and full, but also has the function of storing pure essence.

For example, the one in Zhao Chen's hand should be the tears shed by a shark master named "Quan Xian" before his death. It contains most of his magic power and is extremely pure and can be directly used by magic monks in their practice.

Zhao Chen estimated that if it were used by Sister Hongxia, she could at least improve her cultivation level by one level.

The other one was "Shark powder". Zhao Chen didn't recognize it at first, but was recognized by "Xingcha". Only then did he know that it was made from the corpse of the Shark after his death, and gave it to the pharmacist to refine it into the corresponding potion. , has aphrodisiac effects and can make people invulnerable...

After putting these two things away, Zhao Chen also came to a new conclusion, that is, after the death of "Quan Xian", someone must have entered the land of sharks.

Otherwise, such a powerful shark monk who lived to the end would not have left behind even a magical weapon.

Someone must have come to clean up the battlefield!
  "Could it be the Shark Queen? But why didn't she take away Quanxian's Shark Beads and Shark Powder?
  "You don't like it, or you just don't want to touch the legacy of your own clan?"

As his thoughts were spinning, when Zhao Chen was about to go to the backyard of this crystal palace-like house to check, the little girl Baoguan pulled him and said: "Master, Master, look!"

Zhao Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then looked in the direction pointed by the crown with confusion, only to see a crystal wall carved with many lines, and there was a faint dent on the wall.

This dent appears in the shape of a "ring", but it is hidden in the surrounding lines and cannot be seen without careful observation.

Even if Zhao Chen's "spiritual awareness" is now swept up, he will still ignore it.

As for the shape of the "ring", Zhao Chen looked more and more familiar, and he quickly recalled: "Isn't this the style of the 'Holy Spirit Ring' I got in the Holy Spirit Sect?
  "I remember Master Chu Yue said that the 'Holy Divine Ring' is an imitation of the 'magical weapon' that was destroyed by Master Yun Gu...

"Could it be that the original ring came from the Sharman clan?
  "Well... the 'Holy Holy Ring' can be transformed into the image of a person known and worshiped by many people.

“The more fans a person has, the more he becomes like the image in people’s mind.

"The original version can even change the breath and destiny... So, if the person holding this ring turns into someone else, it may be difficult to be recognized even by Master Dongxuan in person.

"Is there any connection between Master Yun Gu and this shark clan?"

Zhao Chen suddenly made some bold guesses, but because he lacked the necessary evidence, he just turned them around in his mind and threw them aside.

He thought for a moment and took out the "Holy Holy Ring" from his storage bag.

After taking adequate precautions, he took a deep breath and put the ring into the "dent", intending to try to see if the imitation was useful.

Soon, the "Holy Holy Ring" was perfectly embedded in the indentation.

Immediately afterwards, there was a violent shaking sensation, and a small crack two fingers wide slowly opened on the crystal floor.

But at this time, the "Holy Holy Ring" in the dent seemed to be unable to withstand some kind of pressure, and suddenly shattered, and the opening of the crystal floor also stopped abruptly.

"It seems that although the imitation has some characteristics of the original, the fake is fake!" Although he said this, there was not much disappointment on Zhao Chen's face. After all, the crystal floor had been opened with two fingers, and he With quick eyesight and quick hands, he used a magic weapon to prop up the opening so that it could not close on its own.

Of course, the magic weapon he used to support his mouth was not the "invisible magic weapon", but the phantom magic weapon that was one of the "Qionghua Nine Swords" that he had obtained from Mrs. Mu Ying when he subdued the "weird" Miss Shen. "Hyokurin Sword".

Since he was only keeping this magic weapon for safekeeping and would eventually bring it back to the Qionghua Sect, and the sword did not respond to his "Five Immortals' Zhenqi", Zhao Chen could not use it at all and could only use its special materials to complete some simple but necessary tasks.

For example, the "kou" at this time... If it were a normal magical weapon, it would have been crushed by the force of the closing, but this beautiful long sword was unscathed.

There was no time to regret the broken "Holy God Ring", Zhao Chen immediately exchanged "Wang Daoyi" from "Xingcha", allowing him to transform into a divine wind and fly in along the two-finger-wide gap.

Two seconds later, Zhao Chen ended the summons and saw the scene in the gap from Wang Daoyi's memory:
  It was a huge hole, deep and dark with no bottom!

The seabed cavity... is that the so-called seabed cavity mentioned in "Quanxian"'s notes? ! "Quan Xian" died in this room. He witnessed someone coming out of the hole, so what did he understand?
  Perhaps, the reason why this cave world has established a connection with a certain evil god is not an accident... The Mermaid Queen...

Zhao Chen's mind was racing, and he suddenly sent the "Ice Wheel Sword" into the hole, causing the crystal floor to close.

Then, he sent a message to Yin Zimo and Kong Lin through the "Big Sun Star Cha", asking them to collect some valuable things and then join him, so that they no longer have to look for the whereabouts of the "Black Sun Demon Crown".

Because he already knew where that thing was.

Just inside the "hollow" at your feet!

……

Zhongzhou Prefecture, Li Jing.

With the help of Master Chu Yue, "Sword Saint" Zhao Ling held a magical flying sword and directly penetrated the huge toad-like monster that was restrained by the magical power of "Demon King's Body" and could not move.

"Sect Master, please rest in peace!" Zhao Ling muttered silently, then spurted out a mouthful of blood, letting the power of the magical flying sword explode at full strength.

boom!
  The toad monster's huge body exploded instantly, and the "Girl's Yin Demon Sword" turned into countless sword lights, strangling every piece of its flesh and blood.

In a moment, when the sword light in the sky disappeared, the "blood rain" pouring in the capital finally stopped.

"Well done." came an old voice, it was Master Chu Yue who had transformed into an old woman.

Zhao Ling, however, was not very interested and sighed: "The sect master was actually very good to me at the beginning...it's a pity..."

"You kid is getting sentimental... Hehe, you have to remember, even though we claim to be 'authentic' in the cave, outside the cave, we are the real Demon Sect!

“Don’t really think of yourself as a ‘saint’!

"The Demon Sect always puts interests first when doing things!" Chu Yue warned with a cold smile.

Zhao Ling has been informed of some of Daxia's affairs during this period, and has a more or less understanding of Xuantian. Therefore, although he does not agree with it in his heart, he still nods in agreement.

How could Master Chu not understand her thoughts, so he shook his head slightly, feeling that the sect had educated these disciples too "well", and it was indeed too dangerous to go out of the cave like this, and it was easy for problems...

It seems that Mr. Chen's decision to only take out trusted people for the time being should have this consideration in mind... He is right.

……

In the imperial mausoleum, the girl who was carved in pink and jade has returned to the "Seven Stars Diagram" again. She was pouring essence and blood into the stars in the picture. She suddenly paused, turned her head and looked to the east, raised the corners of her mouth and muttered to herself. road:
  "Another hidden danger has been eliminated! Good, good!
  "Now, even the 'Lord' can no longer force me to do something I don't want to do!

"Chu Yue has done something good."

As soon as she said this, her expression changed, and then she took off her short legs and ran to the "Grudge Pond" at a very fast speed, looking at the "Yunxiao Golden Crow" revealed due to the sharp reduction of "Grudge". "Crown" and the huge, bottomless hollow next to it.

She did not look at the former, and focused all her attention on the "hole". After a long time, she bit her lip and said, "Sure enough, someone entered the 'Kingdom of the Sharks' and touched the 'passage'!"

As she spoke, the girl's face changed back and forth, but finally she sighed helplessly and said to herself: "I can't leave the imperial mausoleum now, and there is a high probability that Zhao Chen will be there. Even if I go there, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat Tai." Shi Tian Mo Qin'..."

But soon, her spirit perked up again, she raised her delicate eyebrows, and thought to herself: "But my previous plan of taking advantage of Zhao Chen's voluptuous character and getting rid of him first may be able to be carried out!"

Thinking of this, she giggled with joy again like a neurotic.

……

In the land of sharks, inside the crystal house on the "hollow".

Zhao Chen looked at Kong Lin and Yin Zimo who had come to join them, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Because the two of them found almost nothing of value, they only brought back a few pages of notes or suicide notes left by the Shark residents, and a large box of "Shark powder".

I'm afraid I can make a lot of money by selling this! Glancing at the box of "scam powder", Zhao Chen complained in his heart, while ostensibly picking up the notes and suicide note, he read them carefully.

The contents described in the notes and suicide notes were similar to those of "Quan Xian", except that the person who left the notes was not as strong as "Quan Xian" and could not hold on in the early stages of the conflict.

The only thing worth paying attention to is a last word:

"My spirit will soon return to the East China Sea Fuso Wood. I have no regrets in this life, but please the great Lord of the Fuso Wood to bless my children. May they persevere until the Queen returns..."

East China Sea Fuso Tree...Does this country of sharks actually believe in the so-called "Lord of Fuso Tree"?
  Zhao Chen looked solemn, because he clearly remembered that when he transformed into a Taoist from Xuantan, he translated a book called "The Origin of the Moon Worship Cult" in Xiaoyu Tower, which mentioned an existence called "Fuso Fallen God Wood" , the author of that book speculated that it was the source of the "Black Sun".

Although the author who calls himself "Guardian of the Moon" Ferian is a coward and dare not enter the "Xingcha" and "Demon Sealing Vermillion Brush" directly, Zhao Chen is still convinced by his experience.

East China Sea Fuso Wood... Fuso Fallen Angel Wood... Although these two names are not exactly the same, Zhao Chen does not believe that they are not related.

"In desperation, the Mermaid Queen broke into the hollow under the sea...

"Is she really desperate, or is she no longer her?!
  "The original version of the 'Holy Ring'... since it allows the person who wears it to have the energy and destiny of the changed person...

"So, will the Mermaid Queen play the so-called 'Lord of Fuso Wood' when wearing it?
  "She is the core of the ritual, the origin of all conspiracies?

"In addition, the 'Black Sun Demonic Crown'... is different from the 'Golden Crow Divine Crown' and the 'Cloud Crown'. Since the 'Black Sun Demonic Crown' bears the name of 'Black Sun', I am afraid it is also related to it."
