Ghost Blowing Lantern II

The fat man couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on? Is it a snail fairy or a mermaid inside?" Uncle Ming wiped the rain on his face. Although it was drenched by the rain, his heart was burning, and his mouth was actually dry. He swallowed twice before speaking: "The mermaid with jade wings and golden scales is unmistakable. It looks like she has been dead in the man-eating clams for many years. It's not that wealth doesn't make people feel better. The moment wealth comes, it's like the sky is falling." Now I am really prosperous, and it is more... more valuable than a diamond of the same size..." When he said it, his voice choked up, and he burst into tears with excitement: "The fisherman, the Dragon King, the Queen and the Empress opened their eyes, so that I, Lei Xianming, can be where I am today. The ancestor of the green head in the sea, carrying people on his back on the railway track - this life is worth it, even if I die immediately now, it will not be in vain..."

I quickly pressed Uncle Ming's mouth to stop talking nonsense. What does death mean? Now that I have obtained this rare treasure from the sea, it would be completely worthless if I die now. Uncle Ming suddenly realized that he slapped himself twice hard and kept praying to Mingming Canghai. What he just said was fart, not a single word. Can't count.

The fat man and I were too lazy to pay attention to Uncle Ming, who was out of control. We both put our heads under the raincoat covering the big clam, trying to open our eyes and take a good look at what the ancestor of Qingtou was, but we were only surprised when we saw it. There are no other thoughts left in my mind. I thought I had seen countless rare treasures in the ancient tombs, but all of them combined seemed to be inferior to the things in the clam in front of me.

I saw a strange fish about the size of a child among the slightly trembling clam meat. The fish had a human head and a scaly body. In fact, it was said to be a "human head" but it was just a resemblance. It was very different from a real human being. Some of it looked like a human with no growth. It was a monster with open eyes, its two fins like human hands and its back were as green as jade, smooth and flowing, and reflected the golden fish scales all over its body. It was dazzling and bizarre. I found that the fish body had been metamorphosed for many years. The reason why it was so beautiful It shines because the mouth of the fish head, which resembles a woman's head, seems to be open to the outside, revealing half of a chin pearl. The pearls are vertical and horizontal, reflecting the golden scales and jade wings, and the moonlight overflows, making people unable to stare at it.

My eyes were dazzled by what I saw, so I quickly rubbed my eyes, covered the raincoat again, and asked Uncle Ming how the mermaid's body had become like this. It’s really unbelievable, and people can’t imagine why. How much is it worth?

Uncle Ming said that this thing is too precious. He was carrying a rare treasure made from the sea and the sky. He thought that the old clam was pregnant with pearls (eggs). It takes thousands of years for the clam to absorb the essence of the moon and create the pearl of the sea. If there is no moonlight in the sky, the clam in the sea will not bead. Whenever the moon is full, the old clam will play with the pearl, which will attract countless aquatic people. One hundred years ago, one full-moon night, a fully formed mermaid was attracted by the pearl in the man-eating clam at the bottom of the sea. So it approached quietly, swam into the open shell of the clam at lightning speed, and swallowed it in one gulp. After getting the spirit bead, he wanted to escape.

This behavior of the underwater aquatic tribe has always been called "taking the pill" in the mouth of the Dan people. Although this mermaid can ride on the waves, although it swims fast on the bottom of the sea, it cannot close its shells as fast as the man-eating clam. She was wrapped in clams and lost her life. Why did the mermaid's body not only not melt away after so many years, but also become as good as jade? Because this rare and precious "Southern Pearl" has been called the "Zhuanzhu" since ancient times. If the deceased holds it, the body will become immortal and become withered and waxy over time. In ancient times, wealthy people were buried after death. , corpses are always in the mouth in the coffin, with cool jade in the mouth being the middle grade, followed by "mouth-pressing money", mouth-pressing money is to put a copper coin in the dead person's mouth, and "zhuyan beads" in the mouth are the best choice. , is the first of all "clear objects" in the ancient tomb.

The mermaid snatched the elixir and swallowed the spiritual pearl, but was buried in the clam. Her body was difficult to change for a thousand years, and the old clam was reluctant to part with the spiritual pearl. As a result, this situation of "clam with fish in mouth, fish with pearl in mouth" was formed. This matter is taken for granted, and it is not difficult to guess. This South China Sea mermaid with golden scales and jade wings can only be found in the eyes of the sea. It is estimated that it has been extinct for hundreds of years. This fish is well preserved, not to mention it has a beauty pearl in its mouth. , its price can somersault to the sky.

The fat man and I were overjoyed. We should have ten yachts this time. We quickly wrapped the mermaid body in the piranha clam with a water blanket and carried it into the bottom cabin and put it away properly. When we came back, Ruan Hei and others also came up from the bottom of the sea. , judging from their expressions, you can tell that the second round of harvest is not small. Uncle Ming wants to kill the man-eating clams, scrape off the clam meat, and leave the shell of the "tridacna" to take back.

I knew that Shirley Yang didn’t want everyone to kill this thousand-year-old creature easily, so I stopped Uncle Ming, called Shirley Yang to the back of the boat, and told everyone that this old clam has lived for so many years and has experienced countless earth-shaking changes in the sea. It is not easy even now. We persuade everyone to release this thousand-year-old clam and throw it back into the sea. Our policy is to be frank and lenient. Since it has handed over the treasure in its shell, it is better to be more open to it, and this time it is fished out. There are a lot of green heads coming up, and it’s not just its white armor that’s missing. We don’t want to ruin its life. We went to sea this time to get a lot of secret treasures from the South China Sea. We might have damaged the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so we have to keep some under our hands. Don't overdo things to avoid any accidents when you go back.

Shirley Yang strongly agrees. Only Fatty and Uncle Ming are reluctant. They have worshiped the fisherman. Is there any reason to send this thing back? The fat man thought of a damaging move, picked up Uncle Ming's Dragon Arc Blade, carved a few lines of words on the clam shell, marked the ownership, and said: "The gold-touching captain and Danman Wang Kaixuan brought his men here. Travel, we stand high and see far, with our motherland in mind and the world in mind. Now we have to rush to the United States to make money, so we temporarily leave the man-eating clams here, waiting for the success of the world revolution before we can take them back and exchange them for money. Who dares to ignore us? If you catch this clam without permission, there will be a sudden thunderstorm, and you will die at sea without a burial place in the following years, months, and days." Then he lifted the dying clam and threw it into the water, leaving it to find a way to survive and eat people. The clam that has lost its spirit bead is like a phoenix that has lost all its fur. It picked up its life at the bottom of the clam's knife and escaped into the water in despair.

Then everyone sorted out the harvest of egg collecting. A total of thirty-two moonlight pearls were collected from the bottom of the sea, as well as a jade body with a mermaid's jaw pearl, and an ancient stone mirror coffin. After a brief display in the bottom cabin, the whole room was filled with light. , brilliant and brilliant, making people feel like they are in the Crystal Dragon Palace, but everyone did not dare to look at it carefully, and hurriedly hid it. First, they were afraid that these treasures would lose their essence when leaving the underwater environment, and second, the treasure aura in the cabin was soaring to the sky. We are worried that we will provoke the undersea whales, salamanders, ichthyosaurs, etc. to seize the spirit of the sea. We should not bully the mountains, but the water, and try not to provoke things in the sea.

At this time, it was dusk. Uncle Ming went to the cockpit to monitor the movement of the sea. The rest of the people were eating in the cabin. The boss of the ship, Ruan Hei, and his two apprentices were exhausted, but Ruan Hei said that they were all professional eggmen. Being a fish, you can survive being underwater for a long time. You can rest for a while and wait for dinner. When the surge is not too big, you can go down to collect eggs again. These two trips only uprooted all the surrounding iron trees. There are many old trees like this in the undersea forest. This opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come back. Nowadays, the resources of Nanzhu in the world have been exhausted as early as the Qing Dynasty. Since we can catch up with this last undersea treasure If you have it, you have to make a fortune.

I was secretly frightened when I heard that. I used to think that the Dan people who risked their lives for their livelihood based on their craftsmanship were similar to the gold captains. Now I finally know. Nanzhu will not give up until Ruan Hei tries to take advantage of him. He doesn't care if he loses his life. It turns out that the difference between Dandan and Captain Mojin lies in the word "greed".

Although it was a desperate act for the captain to touch the gold to seek wealth and gain, there was also an iron rule of not touching the gold when the rooster crows and the lanterns were out, and not taking three out of three. In fact, it was not because of respect for the deceased owner of the tomb, but because he was trying not to let himself become too big. Greed, there are many tomb robbers and tomb robbers in ancient and modern times who have ruined their lives. How many tomb robbers have died just because of this word "greed"? It’s not a lack of wisdom, nor is it an inability to win with skills, it’s just “profit” that blinds one’s mind and greed, which is the source of disaster in the world, and is the root cause of failure and loss of life. Stop touching gold when it’s enough, leaving room for yourself. And a clear mind, only with life can you have wealth, without life it is empty.

However, most of the egg people are sea barbarians, and they have suffered the most harsh exploitation in history. In the past, they collected eggs under the supervision of the government. In order to prevent the egg people from swallowing the southern pearls under the water and hiding them, the officers and soldiers who supervised the collection They will disembowel the Danmen who come out alive from the water. The Danmin who survive in this harsh environment are all living in precarious life. With their consciousness, they are certainly not as good as those who are proficient in Yili and understand the "continuous life" He is a master of gold mining, so Dan Min's rule has always been to collect eggs without caring about his wealth or life. Seeing Dan Min Ruan Hei's eager and tired eyes, he didn't seem to take the dangers underwater at all. What's the matter, even if he died of diving disease, he would not hesitate. Although human life is at stake, the matter of collecting eggs is bigger than the sky, and he has no idea how much profit he can get if the green head in our cabin goes back. It is said that Ruan Hei has never seen any money and has no idea about the amount of money. He does not understand the market like Uncle Ming and knows the value of something. Ruan Hei just believes that the more eggs he collects, the more money he will make.

I really didn’t know how to explain to Ruan Hei, the boss of the boat, that we should not be greedy, so I had to be tough on the three of them, master and apprentice, and told them that there were fish and dragons in the trench. It was raining heavily at this time, and the tide rose sharply in the evening. , the sea snake hidden under the sea will definitely float to the surface of the sea through the clouds and the moon. If you want to collect eggs at night, you are courting death. If anyone dares to go into the water privately, don’t blame me, surnamed Hu, for turning his back on me and not recognizing anyone else. All the funds for going out to sea are mine. It was provided. I also figured out how to enter the Coral Spiral. To put it bluntly, the captain who touches the gold on this ship is the boss, and the egg people are all the workers. From now on, I have the final say.
