The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

"The princess of the mermaid tribe?!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, even several Tiandu immortals were slightly surprised.

"Are there really mermaids in this world?"

"I heard that the mermaids have human bodies and fish tails, and are considered monsters whose transformation has not yet been completed. How come this girl has a human body and doesn't have any monster aura at all?"

Lu Jingshan then introduced it to everyone:

"Everyone, let me introduce you to Princess Pearl. Three years ago, the Japanese lured the ancient Taiyin whale in an attempt to block the ocean current and change the country's destiny, but they brought disaster to the East China Sea. At that time, Master Li happened to be in Jiulong Island, and we defeated the Japanese conspiracy at sea. But the ancient Taiyin whale is an ancient beast that cannot be resisted by human power. Even a strong man like Master Li can do nothing. Fortunately, Miss Pearl led the mermaids to lure the ancient Taiyin whale back to the deep sea abyss."

Although everyone has heard about what happened in the East China Sea back then, they only know that Li Muchen and Lu Jingshan jointly fought against the Japanese pirates and thwarted the Japanese pirates' maritime conspiracy. Later, Li Muchen went to Japan, killed Yutarashi Zang, and dueled with Yutarashi Jian Ge. These things are widely circulated.

But this is the first time I have heard about the ancient whale of the moon.

Many people don’t even know what the Taiyin Ancient Whale is, but several Tiandu disciples know it.

The Taiyin Ancient Whale is an ancient giant beast. Together with the Xuanwu, Zhuolong, Xiangliu, and Naga, they are all divine beasts of the sea. They once participated in the ancient war between gods and demons. Later, after Dayu pacified the flood and the floods receded across the world, they basically disappeared.

Legend has it that some of them died in the battle between gods and demons, such as Zhuolong; some were sealed by the gods, such as Naga; some retreated to the depths of the sea, where there are vaster waters than the ocean we can see; and Xiangliu was shot to death by Dayu in the East China Sea.

If the lunar ancient whale really approaches the mainland, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Lu Jingshan briefly talked about the Taiyin ancient whale. After listening to it, everyone sighed and showed great respect for this inconspicuous mermaid princess.

"If it weren't for Miss Pearl, Jiulong Island might have ceased to exist long ago, and the coastal areas of the East China Sea would have been in great trouble. So it's not an exaggeration to say that Princess Pearl and the mermaids are the saviors of our entire China!"

Lu Jingshan clasped his fists and said, "On behalf of my fellow Chinese, I would like to express my gratitude to the princess and the mermaids!"

Others also stood up and clasped their fists to express their gratitude.

Zhenzhu quickly returned the greetings: "Master Lu, all the seniors, Zhenzhu is not worthy of this honor. If it weren't for Master Li, my clansmen and I would have died under the butcher's knife of those Japanese wanderers. Master Li saved my life and the lives of our entire clan, so whatever I do is what I should do. Moreover, Master Li also taught me the method of cultivation, which allowed me to cultivate into a human body within three years."

She paused here, looked around, and asked curiously, "Where is Mr. Li?"

"Oh, Master Li has gone to Europe and has not come back yet. Princess, why don't you stay on Kowloon Island for a few days? I think Master Li will be back soon. Oh, by the way, how is your father?"

The father that Lu Jingshan was referring to was of course Zhenzhu's father, Giant Clam, the leader of the mermaid tribe.

Pearl's expression darkened: "My father has already... passed away."

"Ah?" Lu Jingshan was shocked. "Three years ago, he was still in good health and in his prime. How could he..."

"Brother, the chief of the giant clam tribe came to save us..." Ning Fengquan sighed heavily, "Alas, we encountered a violent storm and huge waves at sea. We were originally unable to return, but Princess Pearl suddenly appeared and saved us. She took us back to the ship, while the chief of the giant clam tribe led the mermaid tribe to deal with the monster, but we didn't expect..."

Ning Fengquan looked sad and felt very guilty.

Everyone felt sad after hearing this.

Instead, it was Zhenzhu who comforted them, saying, "Master Ning, everyone, you don't have to blame yourselves. We, the mermaids, are natural enemies of the sea monsters. When the sea monsters see the mermaids, it's like seeing the most delicious food, and they all eat them as soon as possible. Our bodies are the great medicine for them to practice the magic. We stop the octopus monster, not only to help you, but also to help ourselves."

Lu Jingshan asked: "Do you know where this octopus monster came from? Also, why are so many sea monsters gathering in the East China Sea?"

Pearl said, "This is exactly why my father and I came back this time. This time the dragon traveled to the bottom of the sea and the monsters gathered, mainly for the ancient monster god - Xiangliu."

"Xiangliu?!" People were all shocked.

Su Biluo said: "Xiangliu is the body of the Nine Dragons. After the Turbid Dragon, he is the Dragon King of the Sea, but he has been shot dead by Dayu!"

"No, it's not dead!" Pearl shook her head.

"not dead?"

"Yes, in the ancient legend of our mermaid clan, Xiangliu, a dragon, was shot dead by the god Dayu. His body turned into nine islands, and the arrow stuck in his body turned into the Dinghai Shenzhen. But he did not die. According to the ancient prophecy, when the devil returns and the gates of hell open, he will wake up."

"The Devil has returned..." Su Biluo frowned, "Miss Pearl, what you said is just a legend. How can you be sure?"

Pearl pursed her lips, seeming a little hesitant, but finally made up her mind and said, "This is a secret of our mermaid tribe, but now it's okay to tell it. My father is gone, and now I am the leader of the mermaid tribe, so I can make this decision."

"We, the mermaids, originally lived by the sea and were followers of Gonggong, the god of water. At that time, there was a great flood, but we were not afraid of it. Instead, we were happy about it. Dayu controlled the flood and marched east to attack Gonggong. We followed Gonggong and resisted Dayu. The war lasted for a long time and caused great suffering to the people. In the end, Dayu shot Xiangliu and forced the tide to retreat."

"Our tribe was cursed by the gods because of this, and we lost our legs and lived in the sea from then on. There are many legends about that war that have been passed down from generation to generation among us, one of which is about Xiangliu. According to my father, this legend also concerns the fate of our mermaid clan, because when Xiangliu is resurrected and the demon god rises again, we will have the opportunity to remove the curse on us and return to live on land again."

"Is it possible that this is just your imagination?" Tang Jinghui asked.

"No, I have received confirmation from the ancient creatures in the depths of the sea, including the Taiyin Ancient Whale." Pearl said, "In the past, I could only communicate with the Taiyin Ancient Whale through singing, but since Master Li taught me a unique practice method, I can communicate with them through my divine thoughts. Now I can be sure that the legend about Xiangliu's resurrection is true! They all feel the breath of the return of the demon god."

"According to what you said, the octopus monster we encountered was the resurrected Xiangliu? The legendary Xiangliu has the body of nine dragons, but could it be that he is actually an octopus?" Lin Yun interrupted.

Zhenzhu shook her head slowly: "If it was Xiangliu, none of us could escape. It was an octopus monster, once a follower of Xiangliu. There was another monster called Shixuzi back then. Its purpose was to pull out the Dinghai Shenzhen and release Xiangliu."
