The Book of Appreciation

As soon as Brother Long heard that Wu Di wanted everything, he gave a speechless smile and said:

"Two pieces of silver, 5 each, Muramasa knife, 10, Torreya chessboard, 50, a total of 70!"

Wu Di frowned. The quotations of these items were somewhat beyond his expectation, not because of high or low, but because of high and low. .

The price of the torreya chessboard had the biggest deviation, because he estimated its value at around one million.As an antique from the early Edo period in Japan 400 years ago, it is likely that 100 million is low, let alone 50?Brother Long quoted the price, apparently without judging its specific year.

But the price of the silver cigarette case was more than twice as high. The price of that thing should not exceed 2 RMB.As for the remaining two pieces, the prices on the market are about the same.

The purpose of Wu Di's coming here is to see if he can find some clues from Brother Long. Buying antiques is purely for the pleasure of hunting.Although he has always disliked that nation, it doesn't mean he doesn't like their good things, for example, those discs about enlightenment education that many Chinese elders have received...

"Brother Long, I know it's not easy for you to take a trip, but the price is indeed a bit high. In this way, a total of 50 will be successful. If not, we will cooperate next time. What do you think?"

Brother Long hesitated for a moment, then clapped his hands cheerfully,

"Okay, deal!"

"By the way, Brother Long, I still have a few things here. Take a look. If you have a chance to get them, please let me know."

Wu Di handed him a piece of paper that he had prepared a long time ago, on which were written several kinds of porcelain imitated by the mysterious master that had been discovered.

Brother Long glanced at it casually, put it in his pocket, smiled and stretched out his calloused hand to Wu Di,

"I will let you know if there is any news!"

Several people bid farewell to Brother Long, walked through the hall downstairs again, and walked to the door of the bar. Wu Di suddenly stopped and said to Boss Song:

"Boss Song, thank you, I suddenly want to play here for a while, I don't know..."

Boss Song gave a wry smile,

"Master, you can play here, I feel a little uncomfortable, so I will go back first. That..."

"I can't give you any guarantee about that matter, but I think it won't be long before the truth will come to light, and I will definitely inform you when the time comes."

Boss Song shook his head, waved a taxi to stop, got in and left.Wu Di watched the taxi disappear into the traffic, turned his head and opened the door of the bar, and walked towards the corner he had just noticed.

"Hello, I hope I didn't disturb you."

Wu Di stopped behind a semi-circular sofa in the corner. A thin middle-aged man stood up hesitantly on the opposite side. Just as he was about to speak, a woman also stood up on the sofa in front of Wu Di. Turn around quickly.

"It's you?"

"That's right, it's me. Where's Xiaomei? Are you asleep?"

Wu Di walked into the enclosed space surrounded by two semicircular sofas, smiled and handed out his right hand to the man,

"Wu Di, what's your name?"

The man shook hands with him enthusiastically, and said with a smile:

"It turns out that you are a friend who bought wool with Xiaomei in a joint venture. Hello, I am Xiaomei's father, Ou Qiang, and this is my lover, Su Jin."

After a few people sat down and chatted for a while, Wu Di knew why he met them here.Ou Qiang and Su Jin are both mainlanders. One is a Ph.D. student at the University of Hong Kong, and the other is a postgraduate student. Their majors are the main reason why they often come to this sailor bar.Because their research direction is marine archaeology.

Marine archaeology?When Wu Di heard this, he became interested.

"Is marine archeology mainly about salvage of sunken ships?"

Ou Qiang smiled. Although he learned this for salvage of sunken ships, marine archeology is not just this direction.

"That can be regarded as a direction. Marine archeology actually covers a wide range. Prehistoric landscapes, underwater monuments, oceans and their attached beaches and other places are all research directions. But if you want to make a fortune, It is really necessary to study the salvage of sunken ships."

Su Jing shook her head aside, but did not speak.Only those who have been in contact with the salvage of sunken ships know that without advanced equipment and strong financial and material support, not to mention making money, it is considered good if you can keep it without paying.

As for the treasures in the ocean, Wu Di had thought about it a long time ago, but because he didn't have the time and manpower, he didn't think about it in detail.But the trip to Europe a few days ago made him decide to set up a private museum, and this ocean treasure hunt was put on his agenda.This time I actually met two high-achieving students studying marine archeology, so I naturally wanted to take the opportunity to ask for advice.

"There are countless sunken ships in the ocean, and the total value of the treasures they carry is estimated to reach trillions of dollars! However, over the years, few of them have been successfully salvaged. There are many reasons. The most important one is the difficult location of the sinking The confirmation and salvage technology is backward. Xiaojing and I chose this direction at the time because we were tempted by this beautiful fantasy, but we only realized after actual contact that many legendary shipwrecks carrying heavy treasures are basically There is no chance of it being salvaged."

Ou Qiang took a sip of beer, and lightly responded to Wu Di's enthusiasm.

"Really? If you can clearly know the environment of the seabed and the condition of the sunken ship, wouldn't that work?"

"That would be much simpler, but if the ocean environment is too complicated, no matter how much you invest, you may not be sure. The salvage company we work part-time now has two salvage ships, which can salvage sunken ships within 3000 meters. It is already relatively advanced. However, they have not been to sea for a long time, the main reason is the uncertainty of the harvest and the lack of upfront investment.”

Wu Di asked a few more questions, and finally understood the difficulty of salvage. Even though he has clairvoyance and can clearly see the sunken ship on the bottom of the sea, there is still a long way to go to successfully salvage it. distance.

After chatting casually for a few more words, he was about to leave when Su Jing's words made him stay again.

"In fact, when we finished our undergraduate studies, we already knew the difficulty of seabed salvage. There were several roads before us, and continuing to study this direction was the worst one. But this guy chose this direction without hesitation. , and told me that his grandfather told him his fortune, saying with certainty that his future career is on it, and that next year it will enter a golden period. No way, you saw, not only did he plunge into it, Even I was tempted by him. This is great, there is only more than half a year left, and there is no sign of my future career!"

"Oh, what's the point of this?"

Wu Di didn't leave, ordered a few more bottles of beer, and decided to find out.

"My grandpa is a very good fortune teller, he is a fortune teller. When I was very young, he told me that my future achievements will be realized on the ocean. Because he has never been inaccurate in fortune telling. However, my parents firmly believed in it. Under their influence, I studied archeology in college, and my graduate students even directly reported marine archaeology."

"A very powerful fortune teller? Can you tell me? How powerful is it?"

Ou Qiang's eyes showed a look of reminiscence,

"As long as I can remember, Grandpa's health was already very poor. I never saw him tell fortunes to others, because he said that revealing secrets would be punished by the rules. But my parents told me a few things that made me I find it very incredible, and even suspect that they are fabricating, or there are other reasons, just a coincidence, because I don't believe that a person can really calculate so accurately..."

Following Ou Qiang's narration, a blind old man in a wheelchair suddenly appeared before Wu Di's eyes. While he was panting, he struggled to flip through a blue bound thread-bound book on his lap.As if sensing that someone was looking at him, he raised his head and showed a secretive smile in Wu Di's direction.

Wu Di's hand holding the wine glass froze in the air, and then shook violently, so much that he couldn't stop the wine inside from spilling out with all his strength.Because, he had already seen clearly what the book the old man was flipping through. The blue cover and the empty inner pages turned out to be a book without words!

If you are in poor health, you will be punished by the rules for revealing the sky!Wu Di remembered Zhang Tianshi's warning, and couldn't help but let out a hoarse cry from the bottom of his heart, your sister!Are you telling me that this blind old man is the previous owner of Tianshu?

Suddenly, he remembered the inexplicable familiar feeling he had with Xiaomei in the afternoon, and his hands trembled even more. Could it be because of the heavenly book?Is it because Xiaomei is the granddaughter of this old guy?

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, are you okay?"

Ou Qiang, who was caught in the memory, suddenly saw Wu Di's complexion changed drastically, and he was trembling all over. He stood up quickly, and shouted anxiously while going to pick up the cup in his hand.

As if disturbed, the scene in front of Wu Di suddenly drew a stream of light, which quickly penetrated into his body.He woke up suddenly, looked at the people around him, heaved a sigh of relief, and collapsed on the sofa behind him exhaustedly,

"I'm fine. Maybe I'm too tired these days and have hallucinations. I'll be fine after a little rest."

For a while, everyone fell silent.The military adviser glanced at the sweat on his forehead, silently took out a few tissues from the table, and handed them over.

Wu Di took the tissue and wiped the sweat off his forehead mechanically, but there was a burst of lightning and thunder in his mind.

The Book of Heaven is his greatest secret, and at this moment, this secret is revealed to him in this way by a blind old man whom he has never met before. How can you make him not be terrified? (To be continued.)
