royal robes

Chapter 711
Arriving at the bottom of the pool, Zong Xin found the big stone again, covered with water plants and some dark stone-like things.

Zong Xin hugged his shoulders and looked at the stone. He was still at the same position as before, but if it didn't move, the horse corpse should be under the pressure. How could it float to the surface?If it were a stone, ordinary people would not be able to move it at all, not to mention that ordinary people would not be able to shallowly enter such deep water.

Zong Xin thought for a long time and suddenly saw a few bubbles coming out of the stone.The whole person suddenly realized that this thing must be a clam shell... such a big clam shell?How many years will it take for it to grow like this?
Who cares, move up and talk first.Zong Xin stretched out his hands to grab the edge of the big rock, and then swung upstream.This thing is much heavier than Zhu Polong. Fortunately, there is buoyancy in the water, and Zong Xin kicked the water violently with both feet, so he forced this 'big rock' to move near the water surface.The closer it was to the water surface, the heavier the 'big rock' would be. Zong Xin threw it ashore first, and then came out of the water by himself.

After arriving at the shore, Zong Xin took a deep breath and said, "Don't say that this thing is really heavy. If it is really a rock, it will be a big loss."

After coming out of the water, water kept flowing out of this 'big stone', and Zong Xin was almost certain that it was not a stone anymore.The stone will not allow so much water to penetrate, so there must be a hollow place inside, and it is not completely closed.

Zong Xin put his palm on this 'big rock', and then Cui Dong pushed it lightly with his internal force, and the water plants and attachments outside the stone completely fell off, revealing a clam shell with pure white threads.There are so many threads that it is impossible to count, and the dense threads finally return to an edge.

Zong Xin nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the grilled clam shell is very delicious. And if it is so big...are there any pearls inside? How to open it? I remember roasting it over fire and it will open on its own...but Roasting it with fire will damage the pearls inside,"

Zong Xin didn't have anything in his hand, so it was really difficult to forcibly pry open such a big clam shell.If I move back first and then think of a way... There is at most one pearl in it, how do I divide it among my four wives?
"At worst, it will be crushed and turned into pearl powder for them to wipe their faces. Anyway, I am a big man who doesn't need pearls." Zong Xin nodded and said: "If the pearls are big enough, then I will stay and find a way when I return to the Central Plains." Sell ​​money."

Zong Xin picked up the huge clam shell again. Although it was heavier this time, it was much easier to move.There is no place to exert force underwater. Although the buoyancy in the water can make the clam shell lighter, it is actually very difficult to swim upstream from the water.But as long as there is something under your feet, you can take a breath and focus on it, and it doesn't matter if it is a little heavier.

When Zong Xin returned to the convoy against the giant clamshell again, everyone stared at him.Because when he went out, he said he was looking for the horse's body, but he brought back a clam shell...and it was so big.

Zong Xin's four wives and He Meiyu's eyes lit up immediately, and they immediately approached Zong Xin to stare at the clam shell in his hand.Clam shells can produce pearls, how many pearls can there be in such a big shell?So much to look forward to.

Zong Xin said: "I knew it would be like this. You all wait and see how big the pearl inside is. If it is big, the five of you will play rock, paper, scissors, and whoever wins gets it. If it is huge, I will keep it. Bring it back to the Central Plains for collection, okay?"

"No, why suffer such a big loss?" Yaoyao said: "Zhao Kuangyin didn't dare when he went into the water to catch the dragon just now. He stood with us for more than half an hour and didn't even think of coming to rescue you when he saw you in the pool." One life, still talking sarcasticly by the side. If Zhao Kuangyin can help, this pearl He Meiyu will naturally have a share. But this time Zhao Kuangyin didn't contribute half of his effort, so even if this pearl is taken out, it will be divided among the four of us, without He Meiyu For beautiful jade."

He Meiyu pouted and looked at Zhao Kuangyin with a look of resentment. Her husband was too timid and she missed the opportunity to seize this big pearl.

Zhao Kuangyin said embarrassingly: "Meiyu, don't be awkward. Zong Xin has been in the water for more than half an hour, nearly three sticks of incense. If I follow, let alone pearls, you will lose your husband... ...there is a pig dragon inside, if it is so easy to catch alive, will Zong Xin stay in the water for so long?"

He Meiyu still looked at Zhao Kuangyin with a look of resentment. His explanation obviously made some sense, but it was useless because she was no longer qualified to compete for the pearl.I don’t know how big the pearl inside is. A clam shell of this size is probably as big as a human head.

Zongdao: "Zhao Kuangyin, do you have anything to explain?"

"No, I agree with Yaoyao. I have no contribution at all this time, and I have no share in this pearl." Zhao Kuangyin said: "You also know the family rules of Zhao. In this case, if the person who finally gets the pearl is I, even myself, would feel ashamed. What's more, no matter how big a pearl is, it's not worth much. How can it be worth 10 taels of silver? I don't care at all if it's less than 10 taels."

The present Zhao Kuangyin is of course proud, without the constraints of the Zhao Clan, all the money he earns is his own.The share of Salt Island alone will increase exponentially every year, and the amount is so large that he can't spend it all in his lifetime.So a pearl is nothing to him.Although women like things like pearls very much, what can only one be used for?
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Meiyu, the pearl inside must be very big, what can only this one do? Do you want to hang a huge pearl around your neck and pass away every day? At most, it is just for collection at home. .Let’s say it’s huge, even if it’s the size of a fist, it’s useless. At worst, it’s broken and made into pearl powder for everyone to use.”

He Meiyu said aggrievedly: "Okay then, I will give up this pearl too. Mr. Mr., don't be so cowardly next time, your martial arts are already so high, what else is there to be afraid of?"

"I'll pay attention next time. There are plenty of opportunities anyway." Zhao Kuangyin didn't mind very much, because he would always encounter this kind of thing when following Zong Xin.What's more, there are four women on the other side, and He Meiyu only has one, so the chance is too small.After all, pearls are something women like, and they don't have much practicality.What's more, it was originally brought back by Zong Xin, so it would be inappropriate to snatch it again.

"Okay, that's it. I'll put on my clothes first, and you wait for me to open the lid."

Zong Xin opened his hands, and Ning An and Dugu Xingyue gently served Zong Xin to change clothes. Ning An was gentle and considerate, and Dugu Xingyue regarded Zong Xin as their own heaven and earth. The two served them very well. .Zong Xin is also used to being served by them, Bai Yu is a bit aloof and doesn't like to talk, and Yao Yao is too arrogant, so they rarely do such things.

After getting dressed, Zong Xin pulled out Yi Han, and slowly inserted it from the edge of the clam shell. Yi Han was so sharp that the tip of the sword was easily inserted into the clam shell's mouth.Drilling along the crack, he forced the blade in.

All the women felt their hearts tighten when they saw it, as if recalling some bad memories.Although this is in the past tense, the pain at that time is still fresh in my memory.

Zong said: "Ihan freezes."

Yi Han listened to Zong Xin's words very much, and immediately began to condense the cold air. Slowly, the sword body was covered by a stream of ice, which also made the sword body thicker and thicker, and more and more parts of the shell were pried open.

'Crack~~'

The clam shell was forcibly opened, and everyone looked at the mussel meat inside. Pearl's pink and tender mussel meat looked very attractive, and it was very delicious after being roasted.But everyone's thoughts are not on the clam meat, but on the pearls inside.

It is true that nothing can be seen on the surface. Everyone is very disappointed. Such a big clam shell does not produce pearls. Has it lived in vain for so many years?
Tianya said helplessly: "Uncle Zhao, have you seen it? This thing is useless. It's so big but there are no pearls in it. But to be honest, Yihan is so pitiful. He actually followed a master like my master and was very loyal to him. . My master rarely fights with Yihan. He almost uses Yihan to cut vegetables and fruits, and now he uses it to pry clam shells... As a knife, isn't it too embarrassing for Yihan to do this? "

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "I didn't think so before, but when you say it like this, I think Yihan is quite pitiful. It is obviously a peerless sword, but it turns out that it has no use in your master's hands and he can only use Yihan." Cutting fruit. The main reason is that your master's sword skills are not good..."

After the two finished speaking, Yi Han's sword condensed into water from the cold air, falling from the edge of the sword drop by drop, as if Yi Han was crying.

Zong Xin patted Yi Han's sword and said with a smile, "Don't be sad, Yi Han. The more useless the weapon is in the master's hands, it proves that your master is stronger. If I need to use your sharpness to protect myself, will you Why follow a useless master like me? There is no point in killing people. I am afraid it will be difficult to find a second giant clam. If you follow other people, who will give you the opportunity to chop this giant clam? Now, can the world find another master who is as handsome as me?"

After Zong Xin finished speaking, the water drops on Yi Han's sword disappeared immediately, and the sword shone with dazzling light.Everyone knows that Zong Xin's ability to fool is too strong. Not only can he fool people, but now he can even fool his own sword.

After comforting Yi Han, Zong Xin stretched his hand into the clam meat, and suddenly touched a hard object, then slowly moved the object to the side against the clam meat, and finally Zong Xin asked Yi Han to cut open the clam meat, Take out a strange bead from it.

"What is this? Glass ball?" Zong Xin held the bead in his hand and suddenly felt that this bead was different. It was an orange-red bead with some flame-like stripes on the bead.No matter the size or stripes, they look like glass beads.

But it feels different when you hold it in your hand. It can't be said to be hot, but it has a certain temperature, which is completely different from the temperature of clam meat. How could this thing appear in the clam shell?

Everyone looked at the bead curiously, feeling like a pearl, but not quite like it.This is far from everyone's expectations, because of course pearls are more expensive than white, and this kind of variegated color should not be worth much.Sure enough, this giant clam has lived in vain all these years.
