From tomb robber to richest man

Chapter 89 Coral Temple Island
Coral Temple Island was originally an unnamed island, because there is a cliff overlooking the sea in the south of the island. On the cliff is the former site of Hu Shanshan Temple. .

The Coral Temple Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and it is the ultimate way to enter the coral spiral sea area and the last supply point.

Don't underestimate the size of this island, it's quite complicated.This place is close to the coral spiral waters, and there are many sunken ships. People from many countries, including the original people on the island, salvage sunken ships or treasures here.There are also many antique dealers and collectors who purchase and trade here all year round, and it is a no-nonsense area. Over time, it becomes a black market that hangs overseas.

When we got to the island, there was a sense of chaos. Wishing and my little brother especially liked this kind of place.In terms of life, this place is not good, but places like Beijing are better.But, come out to do things, this kind of place is the best!There is no law, no need to tie your hands and feet at all.

Lao Hu and Fatty also like this kind of place, and now they have been running Yiyuanzhai, they can be regarded as serious antique dealers, and they are naturally very interested in these various green goods.

"Qingtou", folk jargon, things fished out of the sea are collectively called Qingtou.Trading is "receiving young people".

Wishing to stop Lao Hu and Fatty, he said, "Okay, it's important. This black market has been formed for several years. There are many people watching here every day. What treasures can you find?"

Then I walked around the island and found an open tavern. The owner is a Chinese named Wu. The locals call him "Bai Wu" because he has a lame leg and has become a "Bai Guy".

Wishing came here specifically to find him, as soon as he entered the door, well, this open tavern has no door, it's open air.

As soon as Bai Wu saw the stranger coming, he came up to walk around.

To be honest, Wishing, Old Hu, and Fatty are not considered Jianghu people, Jianghu slang, jargon, etc. Wishing and Fatty don’t understand anything, Laohu only listened to stories told by his grandfather, and knew a little bit of superficiality, bragging is enough , It is impossible to really communicate with people in the rivers and lakes.

So the little brother stepped forward and prepared to sway with Wu Wu, um, the real Jianghu people are here.

But making a wish stopped the little brother, there is no need, just pay for it first, and if it doesn't work, just pay for the knife.

Ignoring Bie Wu's slang words, he made a wish: "We are serious businessmen, we don't know the tricks in the world, I heard that you got a box of jade, take it out and have a look."

Bian Wu was taken aback for a moment, didn't think much about it, just took it, he has lived on this island for half his life, how many outsiders can he be afraid of?
I saw Yuewu limping out an old wooden box, which smelled like fish, and when the wooden cover was lifted, there were several layers of dirty soft cloth inside, which were peeled off layer by layer. , to reveal what's inside.

This wooden box is filled with a pile of strangely shaped ancient jades, all of which are ancient jades in the style of Shang and Zhou Dynasties.You can tell at a glance that it is the real thing that was fished out of the sea.

Wu Wu said that in the tsunami a few months ago, the corpse of a giant animal floated out of the sea, two sizes larger than a humpback whale.I don't know what it is, but there is the wreckage of a small boat in the belly of the sea beast, and the box with green heads was found in the cabin of that small boat.

Wishing not to be interested in the origin, did not let Bai Wu continue, saying: "Bid."

Bai Wu hesitated and was about to fool around, and made a wish and said: "Don't say what you have, bid."

Breaking Wu was cruel, and said "two thousand dollars".

He made a wish without counter-offering, and directly gave the two thousand dollars to Wu Wu.

I never bargained in my previous life, and only went to places where I couldn't bargain.Because Wishing felt that if he went to a place where he could bargain, he would definitely suffer a loss, so he went to a place where he could not bargain.It may be cheaper elsewhere, but everyone who buys here pays the same amount of money, which is more psychologically balanced.

In this life, there is no shortage of money, and I have completely let myself go.

Don't forget, there is a red queen at home!Make a wish not to plan a big fight.Qualcomm was established last year. The goal of making a wish is not big. Follow Qualcomm and build a patent barrier for the Internet and chips, so that Qualcomm, computer manufacturers, and mobile phone manufacturers can be called fathers.

It's a long way to go, when Wu Wu saw that he had given the money so happily in the wish, he felt a little regretful, and wanted to go back on his word, but for some reason, he didn't say it out loud.

This is a good fate, if he repents, he will copy the knife when he makes a wish.

Then put on the gloves, and take out a jade head from the box, which is the target of the wish.

This jade-made woman's head has lifelike eyebrows, a fishbone crown on her head, and a slender neck covered with dense scales.

It may or may not be used later, so be prepared.Moreover, the ancient jade in the entire box is actually separated from a huge jade carving, which may hide a secret.

Before making a wish, the remaining jade was snatched by Hu and Fatty.This box of jades has been soaked in the sea for thousands of years. None of the thousand-year-old jades fished out of the sea is perfect. The fishy liquid in the sea and the brine contained in the smell of the sea will do great damage to the jade.But in essence, they are all ancient jades of thousands of years. The years are there, and they are still invaluable when they are sold out.

Lao Hu and Fatty are very firm about what they want to make a wish.In private, the two have been calling the wishing dog Dahu.

Putting the jade head away, he made a wish and said to Bai Wu: "Find a boat that can go to sea. It doesn't need to be too big, but it must be strong and reliable, and can withstand strong winds and waves."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wu immediately said: "It's easy, you guys follow me."

Then, with a wish, they turned from the fishing village to the back cliff. There was an old water hole under the cliff, and many boats stayed there.There are all kinds of things.

Wishing is not interested in these things, and said to Breaking Wu: "Find the best boat."

Breaking Wu said: "There is an old ship deep in the water cave, which was refitted by the British expedition team back then, but those British people all died inexplicably before going to sea, and the ship stayed."

Make a wish: "That's it."

This is a very strange looking boat. It is a small boat among the ships operating in the open sea. It can hold more than ten people. The hull is mainly made of wood, and it is dark and shimmering.Moreover, some parts of this ship are mixed with sea willow, which is a kind of tree that grows on the bottom of the sea. It will not deform when exposed to moisture and heat.

Although sea willow looks like a willow tree, it is actually a kind of immobile marine creature. It took tens of thousands of years to take shape. Every inch is a treasure, which is rare in modern times.

Wu Wu introduced that this ship was originally used by pirates, and later a British salvage company bought this ship when they wanted to enter the Coral Spiral Sea.After half a year of refitting, everyone died before going out to sea, which is very evil.

It's completely meaningless as long as there is wish and little brother around.And wishing to know the details of this ship, nothing will happen.

The boat is well preserved, and it's one of the top boats that doesn't use electronics.Below the waterline is copper plate armor, and there are two switchable powers: steam engine and internal combustion engine.In addition to the lifeboats on both sides of the ship, there are two medium-caliber Jinpilu water god cannons, which are old-fashioned cannons, which can fire four types of shells with different functions.

There are two huge oval copper balls hanging behind the boat, which are called "diving bells", a kind of diving tool.There are also some special British equipment in the cabin, including British-made deep-sea rescue devices.This is a good thing, it can dive to a depth of 200 meters under the sea.It's just that this kind of equipment is still in the experimental stage, and there is a certain risk factor when using it.

The British remodeled the ship, and finally did not dare to enter the coral spiral waters.Legend has it that that place is a sea of ​​hell haunted by ghosts and ghosts. Once a ship approaches, all the pointing equipment will be useless, and there are hurricanes all the year round. The boat went astray.

This is a difficult problem to solve. In the vast sea, apart from various pointing devices, you can only rely on the sun, moon and stars to identify the direction. However, if there is no sun, moon and stars, and the pointing devices cannot be used, you will get lost sooner or later. thing.

So Wishing filled the space to the full this time, and prepared a lot of various materials.

The owner of the ship was a local native who helped the British renovate the ship back then, and the purchase of the ship went smoothly.

The next step is to recruit experienced sailors. Given the conditions of the Coral Spiral Sea, it is impossible without a top-notch sailor.

In the original book, Lao Hu and the others didn't find it, and let Lei Xianming be the handlebar, but there is money in wishing!Of course someone will come.

After recruiting the boat handle, he made a wish and recruited three more boatmen, all of whom were "egg people".

There are many shellfish in the coral clumps in the coral spiral sea area, and the pearls they produce are very precious. The so-called "egg people" are people who make a living by fishing for pearls.All those who do these relatively risky jobs are more superstitious. "Pearl" cannot be called "bead", but "egg".It is said that ghosts who die in the sea fishing for pearls will also be attracted by the essence of pearls. Once they hear a living person say "beads", they will kill people.

The [-]-year-old Ruan Hei who led the three Danmen was Chinese.There are two other young men, a man and a woman, who are both Ruan Hei's apprentices.The man's name is Guchai, a local.The girl's name is Duoling, and she is of French-Vietnamese descent.

Going out to sea to find the auspicious day of the zodiac, this is what Lao Hu and Fatty insisted on, so they can only wait two more days.

Taking advantage of these two days, Wishing and Lao Hu put together the box of jade.It is a female ghost with a fishtail and a human body. Against the background of the totem of the sea beast temple, she uses a candle to perform divination on a huge tortoise shell.

It's a pity that the hexagram on the tortoise shell is blurry, but the wish still depicts the hexagram.Still the same sentence, it is better to have no books than to be prepared.

After a good rest for two days, I sorted out all kinds of materials, mainly for the "moving mountains and reclamation techniques".

On the third day, early in the morning, Lao Hu and Fatty began to worship the Sea God. They didn't call Xu Wish and Brother, they knew that Wish and Brother didn't care about it.In fact, they were wrong, wishing and brother also have something to do, okay?This is going to sea, not stealing a tomb on land. In the face of the power of heaven and earth, personal power is insignificant!
So after the two of them sacrificed, Wishing brought a group of people over and performed the sacrifice again.

After the sacrifice, the group officially set sail for the sea.
