Lu Nazhi could neither stop talking nor talk nonsense, so he could only bite the bullet and tell the truth.

"This book should be a recipe book written by my ancestors. It is indeed just a coincidence that I am here. We are not your messengers, and we do not know how to save you."

For a moment, the mermaids who were still whispering fell silent. They all looked at Lu Nazhi in disbelief.

No one can accept that the thing that has always been regarded as a life-saving thing is actually a recipe book.

The mermaid clan leader's eyes turned red but he still said firmly: "No, no, it's impossible. This thing was left to us by God. How could there be no way to save us from above?"

"That's right!" The village chief's daughter jumped out, "Not only this book, but also our ancient books. The writing in our ancient books is clear. I will take you to read it!"

Without any explanation, she pulled Lu Nanzhi to the square of the former main hall, where a huge stone tablet stood, engraved with pictures about major events of the mermaid tribe.

The patriarch's daughter Jingjing pointed to the top pictures and said, "Look, that's it."

Lu Nanzhi looked along her hand. After studying it carefully for a while, she understood what was going on.

About 800 years ago, the ancestor of the Lu family, Lu Bufa, traveled through three thousand worlds and came here.

When he first arrived here, Wujian Sea was still a vibrant sea area, with countless types of fish, shrimps, crabs, algae, and seaweeds. The mermaids in the Infinite Sea are not special or powerful at first. They live in groups and feed on fish smaller than themselves.

After Lu Bufa came here, he met the mermaid ancestor. The mermaid ancestor taught him to identify and hunt sea creatures that were not found in Kyushu. After Lu Bufa developed several proud dishes, he taught him to thank the mermaid ancestor for his help. Give him something that looks like a circle and can protect the mermaids from fish that are larger than them.

The mermaid ancestor was very happy after getting such a thing. Later, he discovered more uses for that thing. Under his leadership, the mermaid clan developed rapidly until he established his own country. But from that time on, Wujianhai was completely in chaos, disasters and epidemics came one after another, and eventually those things disappeared with the death of the mermaid ancestor...

Jingjing swam to the last picture, pointed to the circular pattern in the picture that overlapped with the mermaid ancestor, and said: "Master Messenger, I think this is the divine object that can save us again, right? You can definitely help us. You’ve found something like this, right?”

Lu Nanzhi was silent.

The only thing that is certain in this whole story is that her ancestor Lu Bufa once helped the mermaid tribe and carelessly left behind his precious recipe.

As for the omen messenger, the token, and the fact that God will save them again, it seems that it is basically a misunderstanding and wishful thinking.

As for the divine object Jingjing talked about, let alone finding it, she really couldn't figure out what it was even if she tried to break her head.

Seeing that the messenger didn't speak, Jingjing took the lead and lay down in front of her, "Messenger, please save us. If disaster or disease comes again, we will all die eventually."

Chacha lay in Lu Nanzhi's ear and whispered: "They are quite pitiful. How about we help them look for it? After all, it is something left by your ancestors. They are not familiar with it, but maybe you can recognize it when you see it." Woolen cloth?"

Lu Nanzhi felt that what Chacha said was reasonable. Moreover, they didn't know how to get out of this secret realm now, so they could only act like a dead horse.

"Although I am not your messenger, the sacred objects you talk about are things left by my ancestors after all, so I will look for them."

As soon as the mermaids heard that Lu Nanzhi agreed, they immediately moved out of the way.

Lu Nanzhi was planning to tour the ruins of the Mermaid Kingdom for a week, and Jingjing took the initiative to serve as her guide. After searching for a long time, one man, one fish and two beasts came to a secluded ruins.

"Messenger, where we are now is the ancestor's palace."

Lu Nazhi looked at the huge collapsed stone pillars under his feet and the piles of huge white bones around him, and felt something was wrong.

"How could there be such a thing in the palace? Whose bones do these belong to?"

Jingjing swam around the piles of bones a few times and replied: "These should be the bones of sea fish or sea beasts. Judging from the size of the bones, they should be giant sea creatures that have disappeared long ago."

"I once heard my grandfather say that our ancestor was very powerful and could fight several giant sea creatures alone. These may be the sea creatures that were imprisoned after he defeated them."

Lu Nazhi frowned slightly and looked at the defeated general in his palace. This mermaid ancestor also had quite unique preferences.

After walking around for a few times, Jingjing also noticed something was wrong.

"Messenger, I find it very strange. Generally speaking, sea objects are huge, and even after death, the original appearance can be seen through the wreckage. But these remains are piled up here and the original appearance cannot be seen. Why is this?"

Lu Nazhi analyzed carefully: "They should have been trapped in a small space and were not released until they died."

"The sea water has been flowing, but their bones have not scattered, which means that the cage that trapped them is still there. But there are no traces of the cage around here, so what can keep them trapped?"

"The sky is green," Lu Nanzhi pointed at a pile of bones and said, "Let's go down and take a look."

Tianlu carried Lu Nazhi and swam toward the largest pile of bones. The closer he got to Lu Nazhi, the more familiar he felt.

"Is this...spiritual energy?"

Jingjing heard Lu Nazhi's words and asked curiously: "What is aura? Is it the cage you mentioned that can trap giant sea creatures?"

Lu Nazhi was a little surprised, "Is it possible that there is no spiritual energy in the Infernal Sea?"

Jingjing shook her head, "I've never heard of such a thing, so it probably doesn't exist."

Lu Nanzhi's intuition was wrong. She stretched out her hand and carefully felt the seawater around the bone pile. Although it was thin, she was sure that there must be undissipated spiritual energy hidden in it.

Lu Nanzhi worked hard to connect the clues he knew so far, "The cage, the spiritual energy that has not dissipated, Lu Bifa's help, the ancestor's changes..."

"I understand," she raised the corners of her lips, patted Tianlu's head and said, "Take me to the center of this bone pile."

"Ouch!"

Tian Lu happily moved his limbs and led Lu Nazhi and Cha Cha into the criss-crossing gaps in the bones.

Jingjing was left behind before she could stop her. She shouted anxiously, "Messenger, you can't go in, it's dangerous!"
