Zhu Dashan was stunned for a moment and just shook his head, "How is it possible? What does it have to do with me? I have never seen any undersea whirlpool, and the bracelet is not mine."

Zhou Shu nodded. What Zhu Dashan said was naturally not a lie, but the vortex... He looked at Jiao Ling without hesitation, "Jiao Ling, what else do you know? If you can say it, you might as well say it, there are bracelets about the vortex."

"OK."

Jiaoling nodded slightly, she took off the bracelet and said warmly, "This bracelet is called the Star Bracelet, it was passed down from the ancestors of the mermaids."

"Star Bracelet?"

Zhou Shu was slightly surprised.

"Well, because it can attract the stars in the sky, it is very beneficial to the mermaid clan, and..." Jiaoling paused for a moment and smiled gently, "There is a story in it. I don't know if my benefactor is willing to listen to it, it's a bit long."

The two nodded together, "Of course."

Jiao Ling smiled slightly and spoke very gently.

Six thousand years ago, a special envoy of Liuyun Palace came from the mermaid ancestral land.

The mermaid clan at that time was protected by Liuyun Palace. Every five years, Liuyun Palace would send special envoys to collect a batch of mermaid pearls, Ningxingcao and other materials from the mermaids as the expense of continuing to protect them, also known as Liuyungong.

This special envoy may have had grudges with the saint at that time, and was very fierce. He directly increased Liuyungong three times and asked the mermaids to hand over it within one day, and would kill five people in more than one day.

The Mermaid clan could not gather so many Liu Yungongs, so he went to see the special envoy and asked for grace, but was beaten by the special envoy.

After a day, the mermaid clan only gathered half of the number, and the envoy mermaids mercilessly killed five mermaids. A few dozen mermaids tried to resist, but their abilities were really insufficient and they were quickly suppressed by the seventh-level special envoy. Most of the mermaids were cowardly and inaction, and they just endured and remained silent.

Hearing this, Zhu Dashan couldn't help but curse, "There is such a thing, Liuyun Palace is really hateful!"

Jiao Ling nodded slightly, his eyes a little dim, "The mermaid tribe has many disasters and difficulties, and often encounters similar situations, and it is not only Liuyun Palace who commits violence. Alas, others are inherently very wrong, but we mermaids are too weak and kind, and do not know how to be self-reliant and self-reliant, which is also an important reason. Surviving and continuing at this seabed, if you want to have a status and not be bullied, you cannot do it without enough strength."

Zhou Shu nodded, "The palace master of Liuyun Palace and the mermaid saint at that time would not be able to sit idly by and watch the clan members be bullied, what did she do?"

"After she found out, she persuaded the palace master to punish the envoy, but the matter had already happened and it was not very useful."

Jiao Ling smiled faintly, "In the past, many mermaids also fought for the mermaid clan, but most of them became real princesses, wanting to rely on themselves to impress the palace master of Liuyun Palace and change the fate of mermaids. However, how could that be done? It's really naive."

"The real princess?"

Zhou Shu was slightly surprised and nodded, "I understand. Indeed, it is impossible to change your destiny in this way. Even if the palace master is moved by the princess' tenderness, he can only change his temporary situation. If you want to change for a long time, you can only make the decision."

Jiaoling's expression was slightly condensed and she said warmly, "What my benefactor said is exactly what Jiaoling thought."

Zhu Dashan couldn't help it, "What about it later, how many people died of the mermaids?"

Jiao Ling continued, "It's those five."

The next day, when the special envoy was about to continue killing people, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the ancestral land.

Just when the sea tribes were surprised, an old man came out of the vortex. He looked quite regretful and murmured, "Isn't it here? It's failed again..."

The old man was obviously a human cultivator. After seeing this, the special envoy immediately stepped forward to take action.

But the envoy did not expect that his seventh-level sea clan was no match for the old man at all. After only a dozen rounds of battle, he was injured and unable to fight again, so he could only flee in a hurry.

The mermaid is very rare to get rid of, and I feel happy in my heart and thank the old man.

After the old man understood the whole story, he sighed unconsciously, "I didn't expect that such a cruel seabed and such a cowardly race are rare. Don't you know how to fight and just watch your own tribe die? Although you are not as good as him, there are also level 5 and level 6, and the number is hundreds of times higher than him, but you are willing to surrender. It's sad."

Sad to his misfortune and angered his failure to fight.

The mermaids were silent and speechless. They were used to peace and cowardice.

"Since you have done it, you have to do it to the end and you can't leave any trouble."

The old man left after leaving a word. Not long after, the envoy was caught by him. The old man forced him to swear in public that he would not invade the mermaid again before letting him go.

The mermaids were naturally grateful, but the old man insisted on not accepting it, but instead faced each other coldly.

At this time, a mermaid woman suddenly stood up, hoping that the old man would teach them the ability to be self-reliant and no longer be bullied.

The old man smiled with relief, "This is the right way."

He left behind many Zhang Yushu and a bracelet, which is now on Jiaoling's hand.

"This bracelet is called the Star Bracelet. You mermaids are good at using starlight, which is of some use to you, but the greater use is not here," he said, taking out a jade bottle, cutting his fingers, dripping a few drops of blood into the jade bottle. Facing the mermaid's puzzled gaze, he said cautiously, "When you encounter an irreversible crisis, drop a drop of blood on the Star Bracelet, and a whirlpool under the sea will appear, leading you out of the predicament."

"Remember, it can save you three times, but it cannot change your destiny. Everything depends on you."

After saying that, a whirlpool under the sea appeared in front of the old man. After the old man walked in, the whirlpool also disappeared.

Hearing this, Zhou Shu felt a sense of doubt that he was about to be resolved.

Zhu Dashan said unconsciously, "That old man is a knight. Didn't he leave his name?"

Jiao Ling shook his head, "He has never said it, but there is a character Zhao on the Yinxing Bracelet, which should be his surname."

Zhu Dashan said again, "Where are those drops of blood?"

Jiao Ling sighed softly, "I am ashamed to say that I am really sorry for the benefactor..."

Not long after, Liuyun Palace came to investigate the matter. The Mermaids persisted for a while and told the whole story and handed over the drops of blood, leaving only the jade slips and the star bracelet. Because the woman holding the jade slip and the star bracelet refused to obey, she was unwilling to hand it over. At that time, the saint was present and smoothed out and took the star bracelet for herself, saying that the saint would keep it in the future. Liuyun Palace also agreed and would not pursue it.

What happened next is even more boring.

The jade slips left by the mermaid woman to death, few mermaids studied and practiced seriously. After a few years, they were left behind and hid in the hall to make ashes. It was not until many years later that they were found by the young Jiao Ling.
