Huang Yuelin took something out of her arms and put it on the table.

When everyone saw it, they were all surprised - it was the same jasper-colored conch that the fourth son had picked up on the beach before.

Xiao Liangzi went to fetch a basin of sea water and brought it over.

The conch was put into the sea water, and a detailed and exquisite painting appeared.

Everyone nodded - it tastes like that! This is a masterpiece of the same level as the one that the fourth child picked up.

With the help of Gongsun's glass mirror, we can see that the content in the painting is a battle scene.

But the people fighting here are not the Kraken and Gui Kun, but the two men holding harpoons.

The two groups of people dress up differently. One group is shirtless and wearing fish skin skirts, while the other group is wearing waistcoats and underpants with ghost faces.

Zhan Zhao pointed to those people with black faces and white ghost faces, and said, "That's what I saw when I swam with Kun in the sea!"

Huang Yuelin still didn't believe it, and looked at Zhan Zhao, "You meow little weight, where can you see people in the sea?"

Zhan Zhao really wanted to reply, but unfortunately he couldn't find any point to refute.

Both Yin Hou and Tianzun laughed at him.

Huang Yuelin said, "Actually, there are sea monsters, and there are also ghost Kuns."

Everyone was shocked, "Really?"

"But it's not the kind in the legend." Huang Yuelin stretched out a finger and shook it, and said slowly, "The Kraken clan is not a giant with a fish tail, and the Gui Kun is not a giant Kun with a ghost face pattern... It's real.

The thing is, these are both human beings."

Everyone was a little confused when they heard this, "Are they all human?"

"Yes." Aunt Huang folded her arms and nodded, giving a detailed introduction to everyone, "Linghai is a sea area with many islands scattered here, which is called Linghai Kingdom. But in fact, Linghai Kingdom is just a title.

There is no real country, and there is no king of the Linghai Kingdom. From the topography, the Linghai is a very narrow sea area. The islands in the south are very hot, while the north is relatively cool. People living on the Linghai islands

In appearance, they are no different from human beings, except for their skin color. But in terms of physical condition, they are very different from ordinary people. Linghai people are not afraid of cold, their skin is smooth, and they will not wrinkle even if they are soaked in sea water for a long time.

Skin and other discomforts. In addition, Linghai people are very good at water. Both the breath holding time and the depth of shallow water in the water are far better than those of the Central Plains people. In addition, their eyes are different from those on land.

, their eyesight underwater is excellent, but not so good on the ground. To put it simply, people living in the Linghai Sea are completely adapted to life in half water and half land."

When everyone heard this, they all stared at Aunt Huang.

Aunt Huang nodded, pointed to herself and said, "Yes, I am a descendant of the Linghai people."

Everyone’s eyes widened—really?

Aunt Huang waved her hand and said with a smile, "What's all the fuss about? There are many descendants of the Linghai people along the coast."

Everyone was horrified - is there such a thing?

Aunt Huang nodded and signaled everyone to take it easy and continue listening to her.

"Due to the terrain and temperature, Linghai Kingdom is divided into two ethnic groups. The people in the hot sea in the south are the Kraken tribe, and the people in the cool land in the north are the Guikun tribe. This ethnic group is actually based on the gods that people on both sides believe in.

The difference is that the Kraken tribe in the south believes in Kraken, and the Guikun tribe in the north believes in Ghost Kun. Both Kraken and Ghost Kun are legendary ocean monsters in the Linghai area. This is the version you heard, the Kraken is giant.

Mermaid, Gui Kun is a giant Kun with a ghost face pattern."

"Oh..." Everyone finally understood that there was such a doorway inside.

"Did the Battle of Linghai really happen?" Lin Yehuo asked curiously.

Huang Yuelin shook her head, "I don't know about this. Maybe some conflicts broke out between the north and the south, but the water level of Linghai surged many years ago. It is said that it was caused by the melting of glaciers in the extremely cold sea. Because the sea level was too high, so

The islands in the Linghai area have been submerged by the sea. Both the Kraken clan and the Guikun clan have migrated en masse and left the Linghai. Many people have come to the coastal areas, intermarried with local fishermen, and reproduced their offspring. Now some

People who live by the sea and have fair skin with excellent water resistance may be the descendants of the Linghai people."

After saying that, Huang Yuelin pointed at Bai Yutang, "Your fourth brother may also be a descendant of Linghai. He may be a mixed-race child after intermarriage with locals."

This is the first time Bai Yutang has heard of this, but after thinking about it carefully, he thinks it makes sense. His fourth brother's water quality is different from that of ordinary people. I feel that he is actually more comfortable in the water than on the ground. His love is a matter of blood.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - maybe we have some bloodline that can't swim in the water and sink!

"This kind of conch is called Haishao." Huang Yuelin introduced, "It belongs to the Gukun tribe."

"Sea whistle?" Zhan Zhao picked it up and looked at it, "Is it artificially carved?"

"This is a kind of conch shell, and it does grow like this naturally. This size is already the largest form that can be found, usually only the size of a fingernail." Huang Yuelin pointed to the sea whistle and said, "This kind of

The painting was painted by Linghai craftsmen, because the eyesight of Linghai people is different from that of ordinary people, and they can see very small things, so for ordinary people, this kind of craft may be very difficult."

Everyone finally understood, "So that's it..."

"For the Kun Kun tribe, it is necessary to carry this kind of sea whistle, because the sea whistle can make a sound similar to Kun's chant in the water. So as long as you carry this kind of sea whistle with you and swim in the sea, Kun will think that you are the same kind.

, will swim with you. Although the Kraken Tribe and the Gui Kun Tribe are both Linghai people, only the Gui Kun Tribe can raise Kun, while the Kraken do not... But this is also related to the fact that there are more Kuns in the cold water area.

"

Everyone looked like they had learned a lot.

"Kun is to the Gui Kun tribe just like horses are to us. They can help with work and are friends. The lifestyles of the Gui Kun tribe and the Kraken tribe are very different. The Kraken tribe prefers to live on boats.

Moreover, sea monsters are quite aggressive, and some will attack passing merchant ships. Because they only wear fish skin skirts all year round, if you don’t look carefully in the water, you will have the illusion that they have fish tails. In addition,

The demon clan in Shanghai all have long hair. When they are tired from swimming, they will sit on the rocks to rest. When some ships pass by, they will be mistaken for mermaids. Gui Kun, on the other hand, is relatively comfortable and likes to build city-states and sail ships collectively.

Fishing. Gui Kun often trains the Kun group to cooperate with them in fishing. Kun will gather the fish and drive them into the fishing net. After the hunting is over, he will help the Gui Kun tribe push the boat back to the fishing port." As she said, Aunt Huang said

Bian pointed to the sea whistle, "We use this whistle to control the Kun group."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao and the others suddenly thought of the sacrificial ship that persistently returned to Xiankong Island many times.

"Could it be..." Zhan Zhao recalled that when the ship entered the fjord, it happened to be after they accidentally dropped the whistle into the sea. Then the ship was pushed away by them, but turned around again.

We returned to the beach... Is it possible that all this is not haunted, but that a group of Kuns were affected by the sea sentry and helped push the boat towards them?"

The more everyone thinks about it, the more reasonable it becomes. Anyway, it is much more reliable than ghost ships or something like that.

"Aunt Huang, where did you know these stories about Linghai?"

"Do you know other descendants of Gui Kun and the Siren clan?"

Liangchen Meimei was full of questions about Linghai and wanted to ask Aunt Huang.

Huang Yuelin was happy, "There are many Linghai people living in the coastal area. I used to have several island owners and village owners who were descendants of the Gui Kun tribe. Some people also have this kind of family sentry. Every sea sentinel

There are different patterns in them, and when viewed together, it looks like the history of Linghai. It’s just that they may not tell their stories to the next generation, maybe because they are afraid that they will go to sea to find Linghai. You know, Linghai

The sea is quite dangerous!”

"Oh..." Everyone nodded and then asked, "Aunt Huang, do you have any descendants of the Siren clan under your command?"

Aunt Huang crossed her arms and said "tsk", "There are a few, but most of them settled down after marrying the islanders... The number of the Kraken clan is smaller than that of Gui Kun, and they are even less adaptable to land life than Gui Kun."

, they still like to live on boats, or occupy some uninhabited islands.”

"On the ship and on the uninhabited island..." Bai Yutang frowned, "Did he become a pirate?"

Huang Yuelin was also quite helpless, "There were indeed many sirens who became pirates back then, so there probably aren't many left now."

Everyone pestered Huang Yuelin and asked her if she had been to Linghai.

Huang Yuelin said, "That place sank a long time ago. It is now an underwater city. Moreover, the weather in the Linghai Sea is very changeable, and there are turbulent undercurrents in the water. It is a very dangerous water area. Don't go there!"

However, after some explanations from Aunt Huang, everyone gradually smoothed over the incident.

In the end, Linghai Kingdom is fake, the Kraken and Gui Kun are just legends, and those conch shells are also forged... It means that Boss Wu was used by others with forged legends about Linghai Kingdom, and he then used these things

They came to deceive the island master and village master here and wanted to lure them out. And the people behind this, except for the captured spy Zhang An and the others, were the murderers who killed Boss Wu, Xue Longting and Miao Sanji.

Judging from the evidence currently available, the murderer is dressed as a member of the Kraken clan. He may be a descendant of the Kraken clan, and may have something to do with pirates...

This makes sense. Maybe some of the remaining sea monsters formed a pirate group back then and gradually grew bigger. They wanted to use the legend of Linghai Kingdom to use Boss Wu to rob the major islands along the coast.

But Zhan Zhao also saw a person swimming with Kun in the sea through Zhang An... That person was obviously dressed as a Gui Kun tribe, so what was going on?

Everyone discussed it for a long time, sometimes as a ghost and sometimes as a siren, but nothing came out of the discussion...

If it is related to pirates, then sending away the island owners and catching the spies will defeat the pirates' conspiracy. Once the fishing moratorium is over and the fishing boats go out to sea, the navy will also send warships to help escort and clean up the fishing boats.

Pirates...pirates can't really stir up trouble anymore.

Although there are still many details that are not clear...but this trip to Songjiang Prefecture was also very rewarding.

…

Zhao Pu and He Yihang were left behind to continue investigating the navy, while the others returned to Xiankong Island first.

About what happened in Songjiang Mansion, the entire Xiankong Island has been informed.

Zhan Zhao and the others explained the whole story again.

Han Zhang and Xu Qing were also a little sad, "Boss Wu, Xue Longting and Miao Sanji, these three fools really killed themselves."

Huang Yuelin heard that there was a descendant of Linghai on the island, so she asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to lead the way, and she went to recognize her relatives.

Lu Fang took a letter and gave it to Lin Yehuo, saying it was from Lin'an Mansion.

Huo Feng was quite surprised. He took the letter and saw that it was signed by his master. It was probably sent to Mr. Bao in Lin'an, so he quickly opened it and read it.

As soon as the letter was taken out, there were two "whooshes" behind him, and Tianzun and Yin Hou appeared on the left and right, looking at it curiously, "Why did the monk write the letter?"

Lin Yehuo opened the letter and read it with the two old men...
