The origin of Tanka people can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. They lived on some overseas islands and often went to coastal villages to do business, exchanging seafood for daily necessities.

These people are proficient in water and make a living by fishing and collecting pearls.

Tanka people are much better at swimming than ordinary people. They can easily dive into the deep sea. Only they can find the best quality and top-quality pearls, so people call them "Dan people", and Dan refers to pearls.

Later, as time went by, rumors spread, and Dan people gradually became Tanka people.

In ancient feudal society, the South China Sea pearls were of high quality and low production, and the market was monopolized by officials. They became special commodities linked to status, and ordinary people could not buy them even if they had money.

Tanka people could only do business with the court and were not allowed to sell to ordinary people. The best quality was tributed to the emperor, the slightly worse ones were given to princes and nobles, and the worse ones were sold to officials and gentry. The worst remnants were ground into powder for medicine and were not allowed to be sold to ordinary people.

These Tanka people, who lived in a foreign land, had never been exposed to civilized society. They were fierce by nature and refused to obey the king.

They would not obey the decrees of the court, so they would clash with the court in every dynasty, and the result was a river of blood, and they paid a very heavy price.

But even though they were bloodily purged by the court many times, the Tanka people still did not surrender. The hatred between the two sides became deeper and deeper, and their ethnic group became smaller and smaller.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Tanka people had gradually disappeared, and they were rarely seen.

At this point, Hong Beihai sighed and said.

"When I saw her, her family was all dead. She was alone and helpless, very pitiful, so I adopted her."

"Mr. Ji, what happened to Xiaowu?"

Ji Changsheng did not answer, but asked.

"Since her family was all dead, how did you know she was a Tanka?"

Hong Beihai hurriedly explained.

The old man in the fishing village told him that although the Tanka people were rare, they had not completely disappeared. Some Tanka people would occasionally come to the land and exchange pearls with fishermen for daily necessities.

The most notable feature of these Tanka people is that they have a special tattoo on their backs, called "through the sea formation".

The "through the sea formation" is painted with dragon fish and aquatic creatures, as well as the Dragon Palace and Fairy Island in the sea.

Tanka men are called "dragon households" and women are called "otter families", which means that they are proficient in water.

Ji Changsheng turned his head and asked.

"Ayue, have you seen Xiaowu's back?"

Lin Shuangyue thought for a while and shook her head.

"No, now that you mention it, I remember that she never lets others see her back."

"Whether she is taking a bath or sleeping, she will avoid other people. We thought she was a shy little girl, so we didn't investigate it further."

It seems that Hong Beihai did not lie. Xiaowu should be the descendant of the Tanka people!

At this point, no matter how stupid Hong Beihai was, he realized that something was wrong.

"Mr. Ji, is it related to Xiaowu?!"

Ji Changsheng looked at him and the man, and saw no signs of lying, so he nodded.

"Yes, she did it."

The man and Hong Beihai were both shocked, and some couldn't believe this statement.

"How could it be her? How can she have the ability of ghost eyes!"

Ji Changsheng looked down at the calm sea and shook his head slowly.

"It's not a ghost eye, but something else."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."

Then, he told the whole story.

Everyone was stunned after hearing it.

The mysterious girl used the bronze dragon talisman to summon the dragon under the sea. The dragon spewed out strange green fire and disappeared with the two large ships!

Such a strange and bizarre experience is incredible no matter how you think about it!

If these words didn't come from Ji Changsheng, they would never believe it.

Hong Beihai and the man looked at each other, and after being shocked, they were at a loss again, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.

After a moment of silence.

Lie suddenly said.

"Danmin, I seem to have heard of it."

He frowned and thought hard for a while, then said.

"I remember that I met Tanmin more than a hundred years ago and dealt with them."

"They are a very strange group of people, or... they are not human!"

As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked.

Lin Shuangyue said puzzledly.

"How could Xiaowu not be a human? Even if her identity is a little mysterious, she is definitely a human."

Lie waved his hand quickly.

"Of course they are human, I mean, they don't want to be human!"

According to his recollection, Tanmin classified themselves as a sea tribe of the dragon fish scale genus, not human, and said that their ancestors came from the seabed, but they could not go back for some reason, so their descendants were stranded on the sea.

Tanmin have been looking for ways to return to their hometown for generations, and one day they will return to the seabed like their ancestors.

After listening to Lie's story, everyone else showed an expression of disbelief.

This sounds like a fairy tale.

Hong Beihai immediately waved his hand.

"How is it possible? I think they are just a group of uncivilized barbarians who still live in primitive society. They believe such absurd things."

"How can humans live under the sea without gills?"

Lin Shuangyue looked at the silent man and said.

"Are the ancestors of the Tanka people related to you?"

The Ultimate has the ability to transform organisms. It can transform fish into mermaids, and of course it can also transform humans into sea creatures.

The man thought about it and shook his head.

"No, I remember it very clearly. I have never done such a thing."

He looked down at the sea and said meaningfully.

"Don't think of all the bizarre events as my fault. In fact, there were already some incredible things in this world before I came."

"For example, Houyi and the Kingdom of Hate Heaven, the Zhang family that originated in the Arctic, and the boat people living on the sea, they are all things beyond our cognition."

Ji Changsheng did not doubt his words.

In fact, humans know very little about the sea. It is no exaggeration to say that humans know much more about the moon than the sea!

The ocean, which covers 75% of the earth's surface, is still an unknown area for humans!

Ji Changsheng took a deep breath, stretched his limbs, and said slowly.

"It seems that to find the answer, we have to go down there in person!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

Hong Beihai's face suddenly changed, and he instinctively took a step back.

"Mr. Ji, are we going to dive into the seabed?!"

Ji Changsheng nodded slowly.

"No venture, no gain."

"No matter what's down there, we have to go and see it!"

Even the men looked stern, showing a hint of fear.

On land, they can run rampant, but under the bottomless sea, they have no choice.

In the depths of the sea, everything is unknown!
