Ghost Blowing Lamp II

Chapter 91
Professor Chen told us that as early as the Yin and Shang Dynasties, due to the threat of wars and natural disasters, the ancestors living on the land of China had carried out several large-scale migrations. tracked.

According to historical records, on the island of Coral Spiral, there used to be a kingdom of hatred of the sky with a highly developed bronze civilization. They were good at using the dragon fire on the bottom of the sea, and they had contacts with the Zhou Dynasty. There were bottomless caves in the country. This country on the sea is probably the Hentian clan who migrated from the Middle Earth across the sea, but after the Qin Dynasty, the relevant records of the kingdom of Heantian disappeared completely, and it disappeared mysteriously on the sea, as if it had never been there. There have been ones in the world, and everything about them has become an incomprehensible mystery. The Kingdom of Hate Heaven is a veritable "Lost Country".

Later, there was an eminent monk from France and India who went to the west to learn scriptures. After obtaining the scriptures, he returned to China by sea and wrote a geographical wonder book "Buddhist Kingdom Records" about what he saw along the way. , this record mentioned that there is a huge bottomless hole in the sea densely covered with tall coral forests. If the boat is involved in it, no one can come back alive.

I said to Professor Chen: "The legendary bottomless pit on the sea is probably the sea eye in the South China Sea. It really looks like the bottomless ghost cave we saw in the desert. This time we go to sea, we will try our best to touch it." its bottom line."

Professor Chen said: "Don't venture into Haiyan because of impulsiveness. The ship equipped with the bone mirror of the King of Qin may have sunk in the dark fire smoldering near Haiyan. Of course, this is what we try to benefit. Assuming, you have to plan for the worst, if the sunken ship has already fallen into the sea, it is God's will, and manpower cannot be forced."

Afterwards, Professor Chen reminded me one of the most important things. Both sides of the King of Qin Bone Mirror can show people's faces, and the front is fine, but don't look at your own shadow on the back of the ancient mirror. Professor Chen couldn't explain the reason. In short, judging from what happened in the past, this bone mirror seems to be carrying some kind of curse. Whoever uses the back will be in trouble. It stands to reason that these words should not be read from According to people with the status of Professor Chen, he probably had good intentions, so he had to remind us.

I know that Professor Chen's words must be believed, and you must not believe them all. Just like what he said before, there is everything in heaven and earth. Fools are suspicious and fearful. If they are right, they will be gods, and if they are wrong, they will be ghosts. However, due to the limited knowledge of human beings, it is impossible to distinguish the true from the false. There are many things in this world that are indeed difficult to measure with common sense. The bronze mirror that has held dead bodies in the ancient tomb for more than 1000 years will inevitably have an underground ambiguity. Qi is detrimental to the living, but not beneficial to the living. This may be the same as the rule of the school captain who touches gold, "Don't touch gold when the cock crows and the lamp goes out". The reason, then try not to offend as well.

A few days later, Uncle Ming, who was the most seriously ill, finally recovered. He took me, Fatty, and Big Gold Tooth, and the group traveled lightly. Through his connections in the Hong Kong sea route, he used a smuggling boat to transport us to Coral The temple, Coral Temple was originally an unnamed small island, because there is a cliff overlooking the sea in the south of the island, and on the cliff is the site of an ancient coral temple. for place names.

Coral Temple Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, coconut groves whirling, a southern scenery, the air is filled with an indescribable ocean atmosphere, the fishing village under the cliff is deep and deep, there is no noise of cars and horses, and there is a world-rare scenic spot on the island. The natural wonder of Danshui Bay is separated from the sea by a stone, but the water quality is clear and sweet. It can draw sufficient fresh water for sailing ships. It is not only the only way to go out to sea and enter the coral spiral, but also the last supply point on the sea.

This small fishing village with dozens of families on the island has primitive and backward living conditions. The fishermen rely on the sea to eat the sea. In addition to fishing and picking pearls, they also sell antiques and second-hand goods salvaged in the nearby waters. Some antiques along the coast Merchants and collectors buy and trade here all the year round. Various currencies can be circulated, and the US dollar is the hardest. There are also speculative adventurers and salvage teams on this island to try their luck. You can often hear people receiving rare treasures. Rumor has it that over time, Coral Temple Island has formed a black market hanging on the sea, like a foreign country.

The island is close to the route known as the ancient Maritime Silk Road. There are many shipwrecks in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and the fisherman fished up a variety of things, including porcelain, weapons, spices, wood, ancient coins, statues, and Islamic customs. There are also glassware, unopened old wines that have been fished out of sunken ships, and antiques that even us experts can’t see the age, and there are even brand-name rotten leather shoes that were picked up from the feet of the dead in the shipwreck. Although the treasures in ancient tombs are called "Ming Qi", there are also nouns for things fished out of the sea. All such jargons are common. Doing this kind of green-headed business is similar to the antique business. The most important thing is to know what you know. If you don’t know how to do it, no one will want to do your business.Knowing the jargon and understanding the rules of the industry are the most basic.

Da Jinya, Fatty and I have never been in contact with blue-headed goods, and we all have a sense of eye-opening, but Uncle Ming told us that although there are not many fakes on the island, they all sink to the bottom of the sea for a long time , Corrosion and damage are very common. If you don't pay a big price, it's hard to see a real thing with good quality, unless you catch up with the big luck, but that kind of opportunity is really too rare. There are many professional People who eat this bowl of rice for a living are watching here every day. Once a fisherman catches a better green head, it will be taken away immediately. If you are not lucky, you will not even see it. You can only inquire about it afterwards Learn from the rumors and lessons learned to prepare for the next opportunity.

According to the plan, we will stay in the Coral Temple for a period of time to make full preparations for going to sea. We will not start until we meet Shirley Yang. So we found a fisherman in the fishing village who can stay, negotiated the price with him and stayed. After coming down, we walked around the island, and when it was still early, we found an open tavern to drink some beer to quench our thirst.

This tavern is actually a long counter made of old wooden boxes, and all the seats are wooden boxes in the open air, with ropes hanging on both sides to cool the dried fish. There are all kinds of "Qingtou", people who finish business or go to sea at dusk every day will come here to have a few drinks and chat about the news, but it is very deserted during the day. People call him "Bai Wu", he looks dark and solid, and his demeanor looks like a sea wolf that has been dealing with wind and waves all year round.

Wu is a Chinese. His ancestors used to be servants in the former Qingshui division camp. During the period of the Republic of China, he began to do business without capital at sea. This business was passed down to his generation. He was shot in the leg and became disabled. He became a "breaker", so he had to live in the coral temple selling wine, but this was only a superficial business. He mainly sold various goods for outsiders. Come on.

The little boss who lost his leg, Wu Wu, was very enthusiastic when he saw the compatriots from China. I just sat down and drank a couple of beers before he came over and asked me if I had been a soldier.
Ten years of military career, the habit of sitting and walking has penetrated into the blood, and it is impossible to hide it. I had to tell him the truth. I joined the army in the winter of [-] and was a veteran of [-].

When Wu Wu heard it, he respected him in awe: "Oh, that's Chairman Mao's soldier. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Don't let me drink with you. These wines are my treats. Just drink to your heart's content."

I was quite puzzled, even if I served as a soldier for Chairman Mao and fought for Master Deng, I have nothing to do with you as an overseas fisherman, so is it worth buying us a drink?Is there no sweat drug in this beer?It wasn't until Wu Wu introduced his own experience and business that I suddenly realized that the owner of the tavern is the same profiteer as Da Jinya, and wanted to do business with us.

Uncle Ming has been on the boat for half his life, and he is also a black and white business. In terms of seniority, he is also a senior of Wuwu. After a little trial of Wuwu, he knows that there are experts in our group and they are all understanding people, so he dare not have it. Keep it, otherwise there is no business to talk about.

But I still didn't want to say anything, I just told him that our group had lost money doing business in China, and wanted to go out to the sea to try our luck. Box: "These boxes of green heads are reserved for regular customers, because we are the descendants of Yan and Huang who are connected by blood, broken bones and connected tendons. If you brothers are fancy, don't care about old customers , I will let you here first."

I winked at Da Jinya, seeing how righteous the words are, but we have not been in this business for a day and a half, and this set of words that are close to the chest is definitely more bloody, righteous and highly advanced than him , The level of this martial arts is really lacking, but think about it, the black market on the island is not as deep as Panjiayuan, but since it is taken out, let's take a look at the goods first, if it is really good, why not accept it? reason.

Since Panjiayuan seldom got involved in this part of the business in the past, we were very interested in Qingtouhuo. We immediately focused on picking up Qingtou, and put Zhengzheng to the back of our minds. There are indeed a lot of green heads, and their appearance and preservation are much better than those sold by fishermen on the ground, but they are still not top-quality. Only the fat man found an Arabian ivory-handled scimitar, but it was identified by Da Jinya as Xibei goods.
