Chapter 1436: You Can Tell It’s Fake at a Glance, but some People Believe It
"There are no sharks in the world." Rong Leng put down the pen and paper and turned his eyes to Liu Wei: "But the shark beads exist."
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment and looked at him: "You also know?"
Rong Leng's tone was a little cold: "Is this strange?"
Liu Wei laughed, hurriedly walked behind him, put her arm around his neck, and whispered: "You are well-read, so it is normal for you to know."
This compliment can be said to be just right. Rong Leng's expression is still serious, but his demeanor is obviously much more relaxed.
Xiao Li's eyes flickered between her mother and Uncle Rong for a long time. Seeing that both of them were silent, she asked hurriedly: "What on earth is the shark bead?"
"Jie Jie Jie." Pearl suddenly said, and started to hum with disdain.
After hearing this, Xiao Li was extremely surprised: "What, you even know about pearls? Medicine? I've never heard of a medicine with such a name!" "It's not medicine, or rather, not exactly." Liu Wei explained Get up: "The mermaids are an aquatic tribe living in the depths of the ocean in ancient legends. Humans thousands of years ago knew nothing about ocean exploration. They mistook a type of aquatic mammal in the sea for a mermaid, and through false rumors, they possessed Dugongs with strange upper bodies and wide tail fins became what the ancients called sharks. The initial appearance of sharks was just a rumor among the people. However, through this mysterious rumor, humans have derived countless fantasies. In different dynasties, they all Different poets and lyricists have speculated on this,
Gradually, the extremely ugly dugongs turned into gentle and beautiful mermaids. They even had many abilities, such as weeping into tears and silk yarn into silk. In fact, these were just the lies of early humans. Mermaids did not exist. People don’t exist either, but dugongs have always existed. "
Xiao Li was confused when he heard this: "That shark bead..."
"The eyeball of a dugong, a proteinaceous organism with great medicinal value."
"Creature?" Xiao Li was stunned: "Living?" "Parasite." Liu Wei said: "Dugongs often live in the deep sea. They are full of treasures. They eat meat and extract oil. Their bones can be used to carve things, their skin can be used to make leather, and their eyes can be used to make leather. , it can be used as medicine. This is not a common saying. I also accidentally saw it in a solitary medical book at home. Dugong’s eyes are wider and can easily breed living things.
This type of parasite absorbs nutrients from dugong's subcutaneous tissue, and after later cultivation, can form an effective mixed protein element. This type of element has miraculous effects on certain organ cancers. "
Xiao Li recognized something, so he picked up the yellow paper again and asked, "So the shark beads mentioned here are dugong eyes? Does Qingfeng Town have them?"
"Not necessarily." Liu Wei said: "The shark beads in my mouth are dugong eyes, but the shark beads in other people's mouth may not necessarily be the same."
She said and looked at Rong Leng: "What is the shark bead in your eyes?" Rong Leng said that the sharks did not exist, but the shark beads existed. Liu Wei did not remember that she had talked about this kind of topic with him. In other words, the saying that the shark is the dugong is limited to her, or the modern concept in which she belongs, but Rong Leng is not a modern person. He was born in ancient times. In the eyes of ancient people, the shark
Pearls are the tears of mermaids, but Rong Leng also said that there are no sharks, only shark beads. So what does he understand by the term shark beads? Is his understanding consistent with the understanding in this secret letter?
Rong Leng stood up, went out directly, and knocked on the door three rooms away.
The person who opened the door was Ji Nanzheng. The old man was sleeping dazedly and wrapped in his outer robe. When he opened the door, he saw his grandson-in-law, who he didn't want to see, and asked with a straight face: "Is something wrong?"
Rong Leng's dark eyes looked behind the old man.
Ji Nanzheng turned around and looked in the direction Rong Leng was looking at. It was the round table in his room. There was a mountain-like stack of books on the table. These were all bought by him when he visited the study yesterday. He couldn't help it. It was an occupational disease. He loved to buy books when he saw them.
It was an old problem. He couldn't get the book back after buying it during the day yesterday. Before evening, his granddaughter asked her grandson-in-law and the man named Wei to help him move it back.
"What?" Ji Nanzheng still didn't understand.
…
After a while, Rong Leng came back with a book called "A Strange Book in a Foreign Land" and handed it to Liu Wei. Liu Wei opened it and saw that the introduction said that this was an encyclopedia covering the customs and folk customs of various parts of the Xianyan Kingdom. But in fact, most of what was described in it were about the gods, ghosts and ghosts in remote areas, and this book The reason why it is sold in Qingfeng Town is because, the first case in the book,
This is the story that happened on this land hundreds of years ago, before Qingfeng Town was established.
What authenticity can there be about what happened hundreds of years ago?
But because there is no authenticity, no matter how you make it up, it doesn’t seem to be too much.
Rong Leng said casually: "Yesterday, the guy in the study said that only two copies of this book have been sold in the past two years."
Because you can tell at a glance that it is nonsense, so few people buy this kind of books. In the past two years, only two copies have been sold, one was sold two years ago, and the other was written by Ji Nanzheng yesterday. bought.
Ji Nanzheng was worried about Liu Xiniang's affairs. It was not surprising that he subconsciously wanted to read this kind of book after coming to Qingfeng Town, so he happened to buy it. When Rong Leng brought it back last night, he flipped through two pages.
"Shark Man Pearl?" When Liu Wei saw the second page of the book, the three words "Shark Man Pearl" came into view.
Looking further down, there is a legend that is completely false at first glance. According to legend, the Fairy Yan Kingdom was not what it is now two hundred years ago. At that time, the structure of the land and ocean was not like this. The current Jiangnan area was originally a vast ocean, and in the sea, there lived a group of sharks. Different from ancient legends, the sharks here were not so special. Ability, they can’t spin, they can’t shed tears, but they are treasures in themselves. They are a combination of yin and yang and have no gender. They are natural pregnancy devices. The children conceived with their bodies are the best in terms of physique and mental ability. Yes, as long as you mate with them, you can give birth to the most outstanding offspring, the shark's pearl, the shark's pearl, the shark's uterus, that is
That extraordinary orb.
Sharks are precious, but humans are greedy. Soon, due to endless hunting by humans, the sharks gradually became extinct. The last shark in the historical record was raised by humans, and his fins were cut off so that humans could have children. After his death, his flesh and bones remained. After being combined with drugs by humans and praying to devour him, normal people will also
Give birth to his ability. Liu Wei finished reading the three-page legend of the sharks, and his interest was gone: "Two hundred years ago? The shock of the earth's crust and the ocean? Everything in the world has evolved and evolved. In just two hundred years, it has to change from the deep sea to the land, isn't it? Impossible, but the area will definitely not exceed 150 to 200 acres. The entire Jiangnan
? An area of several thousand acres cannot be changed in five hundred years, let alone two hundred years. Therefore, the description here is wrong from the beginning. This is a man-made legend with no authenticity. "
Rong Leng took the book over and pointed at the cover: "You can tell it's fake at a glance, but some people believe it."
Yes, some people believe it, so that’s why the yellow talisman mentions that the shark can be made into a pearl. But how to make it happen?
