Chapter 100 Crescent Hotel, a trip to the South China Sea

Professor Chen took a sip of tea and continued to talk.

In fact, the bronze civilization is now more commonly known as the Kingdom of Hatred.

The Hentian clan holds the secret of dragon fire. The Emperor of Zhou sent envoys there, hoping to use the dragon fire to cast the heavenly cauldron. King Mu of Zhou's banquet divine bowl was cast for this purpose.

It can be seen that dragon fire does exist in the South China Sea, but modern scholars have not yet unveiled this mysterious history and cannot ascertain the truth of dragon fire.

There are only a few records about the Hentian clan in history, and until now, no traces of this civilization have been discovered.

Even whether this tribe existed is still debated.

Some people speculate that due to geological changes, the ruins of the Hattian Kingdom were submerged under the sea. Later, it was mentioned again and again that the undersea fire witnessed in the Coral Spiral was probably the area where the Hentian Culture once existed.

Having said this, Professor Chen also sighed and said seriously.

"Actually, my whole life has gone by like this. I have studied hard for decades, but all I have read is dead stuff in books. Even in my old age, I have not been able to make any unique achievements."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Ze with pleading eyes and said.

"As the saying goes, a scholar is useless. If I want to do something great with real swords and guns, I have to rely on you people who are really capable. I have no other wish. Before I die, I saw that the photo of King Qin was recovered. You can close your eyes with an osteoscope.”

Hearing this, Fatty Wang, who acted out of his own way, obviously did not accept this high-hat talk, and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Professor Chen, it's not that we don't agree to this, the key is that now we and Staff Officer Yang are following Mr. Chen and we can't help ourselves."

Hu Bayi also nodded and said.

"That's right, Professor Chen. Brother Chen is the boss now. Our store is too busy with business, and we have no time to participate in archaeological work."

But at this moment, Chen Ze did not refuse directly, but said.

"Okay, Professor Chen, we'll give you an answer after thinking about it."

He knew very well that tomb robbing was equivalent to capital accumulation in the early days of Longteng, and it would eventually come to light like the Crescent Hotel in the future.

Officials like Professor Chen naturally need to win over some people. After all, public and private affairs have been integrated since ancient times and have been implicated in each other.

Seeing this scene, Professor Chen also nodded and immediately stood up to leave.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, then I will wait for your news. If the old man needs my place in the future, just ask."

In the restaurant box.

After sending Professor Chen off, Chen Ze turned his eyes and couldn't help but look at Uncle Ming, who was drinking sullenly, and said in a deep voice.

"Uncle Ming, I remember you used to run boats in Nanyang. I wonder how much you know about this coral spiral?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Ming saw that he had finally had some effect and immediately put down his glass of wine.

He wiped his mouth and said everything he knew.

"Actually, the Coral Spiral is a huge coral forest on the seabed. It is said that there is a bottomless eye in it. The surrounding sea area is connected to the deep ocean. The winds are high and the waves are unpredictable. It is also known as the graveyard of sunken ships. "

"However, there are many giant clams in this coral forest, which are rich in pearls. Whenever the moon is full, hundreds of old clams in the sea will open their shells to absorb the essence of the bright moon. Some pearls have been growing for thousands of years. , is favored by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. At that time, through the yin fire at the bottom of the sea, the entire sea surface will be illuminated by the bright pearls of the moon."

As he said that, Uncle Ming's eyes were blank for a while. At that moment, he seemed to recall a very terrifying experience when he was running a boat in the Coral Sea.

"When my uncle and I were running a boat, we were attacked by a strange shoal of fish and suffered heavy losses. That's why we took the risk and went to the coral spiral to capture the pearl."

"But the clam beads outside the coral spiral had already been harvested, so my uncle took four old sea wolves, that is, experienced sailors. As a result, no one came back alive, and no body was found."

This matter was so exciting to him that he later stayed away from running boats and started reselling ancient corpses.

Hearing this, Chen Ze's eyes moved slightly, but he was not very interested in those pearls.

On the other hand, Fatty Wang and Da Jinya, whose eyes almost turned into clam beads, felt itchy in their hearts.

Fatty Wang stood up first and spoke boldly.

"I tell you, Fatty, if you don't take any three-point risk, it's rare for you to be light. Let's go for a walk on the Coral Spiral. Even if we can't find the King of Qin's osteoscope, we can still make a profit without losing money by collecting some clam beads. If we succeed this time , we can save twenty years of struggle."

Da Jinya on the side also opened his eyes after seeing the money, and also clasped his fists to help.

"What the fat man said is very true. It is difficult to start anything without money. How can we station troops once there is no food? If we want to become bigger and stronger in this city of Kyoto, we still need a huge investment of funds. Now that we have this opportunity, shall we Do some research to see if it’s feasible?”

Hu Bayi still had some sense and couldn't help but remind him.

"The danger in the South China Sea is no small matter. If it can be done so easily, where will it be our turn?"

As he said that, he couldn't help but look at Chen Ze and asked.

"Brother Chen, how do you plan to arrange this matter?"

this moment.

Chen Ze's eyes moved slightly, he glanced at everyone, and then said.

"It's related to the Hentian ruins, so of course we have to go."

"However, you also need to train. After all, it is a pirate battle, but it is more dangerous and you must be well prepared."

Seeing that he agreed, Fatty Wang immediately patted his chest and said.

"No problem, Mr. Chen. Fatty, I will definitely spend five oceans to catch turtles, and I will ensure that the task is completed." "You can brag, don't let the turtles bite the eggs."

With that said, Uncle Ming also took a sip of wine and once again talked about the past in Coral Spiral.

"Mr. Chen, Brother Hu, I once heard from local fishermen that deep in the seabed, when someone was picking clams, they saw a mysterious mermaid with a pearl in its mouth, absorbing the sun and moon for purification."

"In ancient poems, there was a story about the moon shining in the sea and its tears. This must be what it was about."

Hearing this, Fatty Wang couldn't help but move his eyes when he heard the word "mermaid".

"Let me go, are there really mermaids in the world?! It is said that each of them is as beautiful as a fairy. If we really meet one, I will definitely catch one for Mr. Chen, hehe."

"Brother Chen, we have seen mummies suspected to be sharks in the Tomb of King Xian, but we have never seen a mermaid. Have you heard anything about it?"

Hearing this, Shirley Yang's eyes turned cold and her words were thorny.

"Haha, you are really in a good mood. You have come all the way to the South China Sea just to pick up a fish. How about I make you a bowl of fish head soup?"

As soon as these words came out, Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang and others felt cold in their hearts, and they quickly waved their hands and laughed.

"Haha, Staff Officer Yang, aren't we kidding Mr. Chen? There's no mermaid anywhere, right? Old Hu."

Hu Bayi also looked at Chen Ze and couldn't help but say.

"Ah, yes, yes, if there is a mermaid, it must be an extremely terrifying monster. We can't hide in time, so how can we get closer?"

In this regard, Chen Ze raised his eyebrows slightly and seemed to be very interested.

"If a mermaid really appears in this world, I would really like to appreciate it."

"Chen Ze, you..."

Shirley Yang's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she immediately snorted, then ignored it and started drinking wine with some annoyance.

At this time, Chen Ze couldn't help but think of Mermaid Zhu in the [Mysterious Illustrated Book].

Legend has it that the mermaid candle is a red candle made from the grease of a deep-sea mermaid. It is named "Candle" and can burn for more than a thousand years.

She comes from the tomb of Qin Shihuang, and she can be liberated as long as the incense candle is extinguished.

Now it seems that maybe it was that time when King Qin met him on his way to the sea to find immortals, and unfortunately he was made into a mermaid candle.

If you have the chance, you can investigate the mystery.

After some joking.

Chen Ze also got back to business and mentioned that he would attend the Crescent Hotel's auction tomorrow.

Hearing this, Da Jinya couldn't help being surprised and said quickly and respectfully.

"Crescent Hotel?! Mr. Chen, you are a real person and don't show your face, but you can actually get an invitation to the Crescent Hotel auction."

Listen, Fatty Wang was still a little confused.

"That's not right. Last time I followed Mr. Chen's instructions and went to find that Crescent Hotel, but they wouldn't let me in."

After hearing this, Da Jinya immediately shook his folding fan and said leisurely.

"Fat Master, you don't know something. This Crescent Hotel is really mysterious. It rarely receives outsiders, so not many people know about it."

"Although the Crescent Hotel is a restaurant on the surface, in fact its three floors are the largest auction house in Yanbei City."

As he said this, he also looked at Fatty Wang and stressed.

"Everyone who plays antiques in Sijiucheng knows that the Crescent Hotel is the place where real connoisseurs stay, and the items they buy are all big items. In comparison, Liulichang and Panjiayuan are all low-end stalls. "

"Every time an auction is held, there will be many super-rich people and top bosses participating. Naturally, others will look down on us as a small business."

Hearing this, even the wealthy Shirley Yang had a look of surprise in his eyes.

And this moment.

Chen Ze's eyes flickered and he said in a deep voice.

"Early tomorrow morning, Staff Officer Yang, Zhang Qiling and Axiang will follow me to attend the auction."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Hu Bayi, Uncle Ming and others, and explained the preparations for the trip to the South China Sea.

"Lao Hu, Fatty, you are responsible for contacting the ships going out to sea."

"In addition, we also need a set of sophisticated diving equipment. Uncle Ming, you are responsible for purchasing it as soon as possible. Money is not an issue."

"I understand, Mr. Chen, I will definitely handle it for you."

Hearing this, everyone nodded and planned to take action early tomorrow morning.

At this time, Chen Ze had a hidden edge in his eyes, and he already had a plan in his mind.

During this trip to Guixu in the South China Sea, he must obtain the Guixu hexagram mirror, open the Phoenix ice box, and uncover the mystery of Dragon Tattoo's life experience.

In addition, if Wang Zanghai's tomb is opened, it may be necessary to investigate.
