Becoming a God Starting from a Water Monkey

Liang Qu twisted the transparent bead that was only the size of a thumb, and his heart was in disbelief.

More than 2,600 water essences?

Comparing the volume, the absorption rate is probably much higher than that of the pearls of old giant clams.

If it can be absorbed before today, the total amount of more than 17,000 essences, maybe it can really break through the fifth barrier in one go...

Those who abandon me, yesterday cannot be retained.

Liang Qu extinguished his thoughts and put the bead into his bag. After a while, he couldn't help but take it out and look at it again.

The more he looked at it, the more it looked like tears.

The irregularity of clam pearls, conch pearls, and giant clam pearls is due to the conditions of their birth.

The one in front of him is big at one end and small at the other. At first glance, it is also irregular, but it is very smooth and full from top to bottom, as if it is naturally hanging under tension.

Could it be... mermaid tears?

Liang Qu has been to the academy less recently, but he has read all kinds of books and has not stopped studying. Many gossips clearly record the existence of mermaids, but they have rarely been seen in the past few hundred years.

"There are mermaids outside the South China Sea. They live in water like fish and do not stop weaving. When they cry, pearls will come out."

The tears of pearls under the bright moon in the sea are not just a beautiful fantasy.

The mermaid silk produced by them is not wet in water and is as white as snow.

There are even more cruel ones. A spoonful of mermaid oil is mixed in a tank of clear oil and soaked in a wick. It can burn for thousands of years without extinguishing.

If it is the tears of mermaids, it is reasonable that a small bead can contain so much water essence.

Liang Qu raised his head: "Round head, ask Scarhead, where did he get the pearl from?"

He and Scarhead could not communicate directly, so he needed Roundhead to "translate" for him.

After a conversation.

Scarhead shook his head.

"Don't you know?"

Liang Qu sighed.

According to Scarhead, the beads were found by chance by a little porpoise in the tribe when they were playing a long time ago. At that time, they just thought it was beautiful and kept wearing it.

As for the location, they have long forgotten.

It's a pity that a mermaid's tear can have so much water essence. If they find a tribe and let them cry every day, wouldn't it be prosperous?

As if the leader noticed that the leader was very disappointed, Scarhead called out twice, stepped forward and held the corner of his clothes, and pulled Liangqu to a place.

"Oh?"

Liangqu didn't stop him, and followed Scarhead into the cave of the porpoises, and saw many miscellaneous things along the way.

Half-human-high Buddha sculptures, huge figureheads, complete ritual vessels...

All kinds of things, all accumulated by the porpoises bit by bit over the years.

Good guy, do aquatic creatures with some wisdom like to collect human handicrafts?

Liangqu picked up a Cong-style bottle, and the signature at the bottom was a certain emperor of Dagan.

The official kiln of the previous dynasty is beautiful, with a smooth and restrained glaze, a full shape, and flowing flint red lines, but it is not easy for him to use or sell this thing.

Let's look at the Buddha sculpture.

It is lifelike, and the wood is not ordinary. It has been soaked in water for many years without any signs of decay. He feels more peaceful when he stays beside it.

Although there is nothing special in appearance, Liang Qu knows where the good things are.

He turned the Buddha statue over and touched the back.

The craftsman who made the Buddha sculpture is a master, and it is almost seamless, but he still touched a cover that is almost invisible.

Knock it, it is hollow.

Sure enough, there is something.

When you go out, you have to earn good things by yourself.

Without some culture, many things will be missed.

After the Buddha statue is built, in order to give it vitality, it must be equipped with symbolic internal organs and consciousness.

Generally, some talismans, scriptures, gold and silver treasures and other treasures are placed inside the body of the Buddha or the Buddha's throne, just like the internal organs in the human body, which is called "installation".

Installation is a unique ritual of Buddhist statues and an indispensable procedure.

The Buddha statues enshrined in the temple cannot be disassembled casually, but the one in front of us is only half a person's height and is a wooden sculpture. It is obviously a private collection, so there is no need to be so cautious.

It is still in the water now. If there are scriptures inside, it will not be good to get wet. I will disassemble it later. The old monk may like it.

I didn't expect that there would be so many unexpected gains before the porpoises went out to search for treasures.

Scarhead was very happy, and he pulled Liangqu to continue inside.

"Anything else?"

Liangqu glanced at the piled up "heap of debris" and followed Scarhead in surprise.

The bottom of the cave.

The glowing vines grew and climbed along the stone wall, illuminating the entire cave.

There are many similar glowing vines under the water. There is a thick glowing vine in the cave where Awei and the water ganoderma were first discovered.

That big vine is hard as hell, and there is no water essence. It tastes like chewing hay.

The vines in front of me are slightly similar, and should be of the same type. Under the soft light of the vines intertwined and fused, a forearm-long cyan-golden vessel stands quietly in it, with a faint metallic luster, very shiny, as if it is covered with pulp.

The general image is a simplified tiger head with a big mouth, a terrified human head hidden under the big mouth, two feet and a long tail forming a triangular vessel foot, and complex patterns all over the body.

The strange thing is that the tiger head is very rough and extremely simplified, but the fear on the human head makes people shudder.

From the details, it should be a wine vessel.

But it is so grotesque that it is probably not used, and it is most likely a ritual vessel.

Tiger-eating-man vessel?

The scarred head on the left screamed, and the round head on the right nodded.

"Is it alive? Can it drive away wild animals?"

Liang Qu was very surprised. He didn't know how a metal sculpture that looked like a bronze artifact, but was actually not rotten in water and made of unknown materials, could be alive and regarded as a totem by the porpoises.

"Has any beast been harmed by it?"

Liang Qu looked at Roundhead, who then looked at Scarhead. Scarhead was stunned and shook his head.

"It was just driven away, no substantial harm..."

It was so magical that it was no wonder that the porpoises separated it from ordinary "collections" and placed it in the deepest part of the cave.

After thinking for a while, Liang Qu took a step forward.

No reaction.

Another step forward.

Still no reaction.

Strange, how did it judge?

According to Scarhead, the beast would react as soon as it approached the cave. Why didn't he move even when he was close to his face?

Until he was within one step and reached out to grab it.

His five fingers grabbed nothing.

Liang Qu looked up and found that he was standing thousands of feet high in the sky. The world was empty and there was nothing.

Suddenly, a sharp gaze descended from the sky and landed on his head, like a tiger looking down.

He never raised his head, all the pores on his body contracted tightly, the muscles on his back involuntarily tightened, and he stood straight.

All around, up and down, the sky and the earth, all were under pressure like mountains.

Suddenly, the Ze Ding in the sea of ​​consciousness lit up.

[Drawing a trace of tiger seed breath, gaining the favor of Tian Wu, and obtaining a Yu pattern. ]

In a flash, everything disappeared without a trace.

Liang Qu staggered against the stone wall, all the pores on his body opened, and cold sweat came out at once.

The tiger-eating man-eating jar on the ground shook twice, as if it had lost something and no longer had its charm.
