Chapter 411: Treasure Hunting at the Bottom of the Lake

Feeling that the artistic conception was wrong, Meng Zitao had some other thoughts about the painting in front of him, and then he found that in terms of landscapes, in addition to the traces of Ma Xia, there were actually some shadows of Wu Wei. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This Wu Wei was also a famous painter in the Ming Dynasty, but he was born earlier than Lu Ji, and there is certainly no possibility of imitating Lu Ji's paintings.

In this way, Meng Zitao thought of a character, who was also a painter in the Ming Dynasty, named Russell, who was known as an ink maniac and a sage. Jiajing got the biography of the painter Dancai, imitating Lu Ji flowers and birds, color sketching, all of which can be similar. Its landscape figures, large Zong Wu Weifa.

Of course, this alone does not prove that this is a copy.

Meng Zitao then appraised, and then found some details that were not right with the genuine product, and the most problematic was the problem of silk.

Generally speaking, the silk used in the court in the early Ming Dynasty was relatively fine, and the workmanship was also very exquisite, but the silk of this painting was undoubtedly inferior in these two aspects.

On the whole, Meng Zitao believes that there is no doubt that this painting is an imitation, and as for the possibility that the author may be Russell, he used his ability to identify it, which is also the result.

Meng Zitao appraised the paintings, and it was their turn to hardware, and after the two of them saw them, they were both amazed by the paintings, and it seemed that there should be no problems with the paintings.

When Meng Zitao and them appreciated the paintings, Dai Guanglan also saw all five cultural toys, and his performance was similar to what Meng Zitao guessed, and he also liked these literary toys very much, especially the one with Khotan Duzi handle, he couldn't put it down, and the meaning was self-evident.

After a while, seeing that everyone had seen it, Dai Guanglan asked with a smile: "How many people, don't you know my painting of Lu Ji?"

Everyone said yes one after another, including Meng Zitao, who also said that the painting was good.

The reason why Meng Zitao said this was that he didn't know who had identified the painting, and it was difficult to dismantle the platform of his peers. In addition, everyone is not familiar with each other, so why bother to block each other's hearts? Besides, now that the two of them are not alone in the scene, don't they make Dai Guanglan lose face?

Of course, what Meng Zitao said is also more euphemistic, it can be said that it can be used to advance, and it can be defended when retreating, even if the other party finds that there is a problem with this painting in the future, it cannot be said that what he said is wrong, because this is an imitation, not a simple fake, and it is indeed remarkable.

But how to say it, Dai Guanglan may be more sensitive, listening to Meng Zitao's expression, a trace of surprise seemed to flash in his eyes, but he didn't ask much, in addition to worrying that if Meng Zitao said it right, he would have no face, but also because he felt that Meng Zitao's age and eyesight were like that. (The hardware did not introduce Mencius too much, after all, if you meet someone else, you may be a disciple of someone, and you may have done something bad with good intentions.) )

After that, Dai Guanglan privately discussed with Meng Zitao that he wanted to buy Wenyu, especially the hand-held piece, which was even more ambitious, and he was even willing to pay hundreds of thousands.

Meng Zitao originally liked to play, and it was very rare to have such a Khotanese jade water grass pattern sprinkled with gold leather handles, how could he let it out, and finally politely refused many times.

Seeing that Meng Zitao resolutely disagreed, Dai Guanglan had no other ideas, so he had to temporarily cover his flag. In addition, he only showed regret and did not show any negative emotions.

Coming out of the teahouse, Hardware and Luo Jihui said that they had some things to deal with, so they said goodbye to Meng Zitao. Of course, Meng Zitao will not forget to give hardware red envelopes.

Luo Jihui said while driving the car: "I said, your customer is too young, you just sold things to Dai Guanglan, and you can make money and make favors, this kind of cheap is not easy to make?"

Hardware smiled and asked, "Then why don't you want to give things to Dai Guanglan first?"

Luo Jihui said with a normal expression: "We are too familiar, and we are embarrassed to give him too much price." ”

Hardware smiled, and then answered the question just now: "He doesn't care about Dai Guanglan's favor at all, so why let it?"

Luo Jihui was a little surprised when he heard this, because the hardware somewhat knew about Dai Guanglan's situation, since he said so, it meant that Meng Zitao was more powerful than Dai Guanglan, which made him curious.

"I say, who is he sacred?"

Hardware replied: "He is the closed disciple of Zheng Anzhi and Zheng Lao. ”

When Luo Jihui heard this answer, his expression changed a little: "Good guy, it's actually Zheng Lao's apprentice, okay, you kid still has such a high-end customer." I didn't know if I said it earlier, I must have sold him a face, it's cheaper!"

Hardware said angrily: "When you made the offer just now, I made so many looks, didn't you see it?"

Luo Jihui laughed a few times, he felt that the hardware was better for customers, and he had come out for customers several times before, so he didn't see it, and such a big order was relatively rare for him, and he knew Meng Zitao's identity earlier, he would definitely not be indifferent.

"Then you can find a chance to talk to me earlier. ”

"I think you're really funny, if you have such a master, will you make the world known?" Wu Jin snorted, he also knew that his friend had such a temper, so he didn't say anything, these years, it is not easy for them to make money in this industry, besides, Meng Zitao is not the kind of person with a small belly.

Luo Jihui laughed dryly, and thought in his heart that he would make a phone call to Dai Guanglan and inform him later, maybe he would be able to sell his favor.

On the other side, Meng Zitao was about to return to Ling City, but it was almost noon, so he first found a small restaurant to deal with it.

asked for a big bowl of duck noodles, Meng Zitao took out his mobile phone, chatted with He Wanyi for a while, and was about to say that he would go back soon, when he heard an old man at the next table, telling a story to his grandson sitting opposite him.

The uncle said that his father had met lake pirates in Taihu Lake, and this lake pirate was almost a pirate. At that time, the world was very chaotic, and there were many lake thieves, who robbed the gold, silver and jewelry and returned to the island of Taihu Lake, or were robbed by other thieves on the way back, and some of them died together and sank to the bottom of the lake together.

Generally speaking, the waters of Taihu Lake in Gusu are relatively deep, and from the map, there are many islands, I believe that there should be many lake thieves who hid treasures on the islands in the past, as for the sinking to the bottom, then I don't know how many.

In addition, the uncle also said that when he was a child, in order to rectify the country, the lake thieves were all good, and then they buried all the good things and threw them away. One of the biggest lake thieves buried part of their family property on an island in order to prevent their property from being confiscated, but it is not very clear which one exactly. Another part is loaded and sank to the bottom of the lake.

In the end, the uncle said mysteriously: "You should know that Fan Li and Xi Shi were boating on Taihu Lake back then, you think it is really a tour of the mountains and rivers, in fact, they helped Gou Jian to bring a lot of unsightly secrets and evidence to Taihu Lake to destroy, I heard that there is a thing made of pure gold to suppress Wu Guo's turn over was sunk to the bottom of the lake." ”

The old man's words surprised his grandson and said, "Grandpa, no, what is the matter with the park there now?"

The old man laughed, "That's just a cover-up. ”

When the grandson heard this, he showed a thoughtful look.

After a while, the old man laughed and said, "What I said is just a legend, don't really believe it." ”

The story told by the old man made Meng Zitao suddenly react, he had water beads in his hands, and he didn't want to think about the treasures on those islands in Taihu Lake, but the treasures under the water can always be found, right? As for the regulations, it's a big deal to take the initiative and donate half of it.

After lunch, Meng Zitao told his friends that he would go back later because of something temporary, and then went to return the hotel room and changed to a hotel near Taihu Lake.

After packing his luggage, Meng Zitao got out of the hotel and went to find a suitable place to go into the water.

Taihu Lake is one of the five famous freshwater lakes in China. It belongs to the crustal sinking area, and the lake basin is saucer-shaped, with an average water depth of about 2.1 meters and a maximum depth of 4.8 meters.

Don't look at the water as if it is not deep, but due to the lot of silt, it is not easy to find the treasure that sinks under the water, and it is close to the shore, and the chance of having a treasure is not great, so you can only stay away from it.

Meng Zitao chose the location while running, the weather is good today, basically there are no waves, it is a good weather for going into the water.

However, in fact, Meng Zitao preferred rainy days, because there were fewer people in this way, and the chance of finding him would be reduced.

After two or three hours, Meng Zitao found a suitable secluded location and prepared to start exploring treasures from here at night.

It was nearly eleven o'clock in the evening, Mencius was ready, and came to the place he had chosen in the afternoon, and looked around, it was very secluded, there were no passers-by, and there was not even a car.

Putting his mind at ease, Meng Zitao put on a diving headlamp and swimming goggles, took off his clothes, revealing the diving clothes he bought in the afternoon, and a small pocket on his body, which was specially used to put some things. After finding a hidden place to put his clothes away, he went into the water from the spot he had chosen.

Since the silt at the bottom of the lake had been cleaned up, it was not difficult to walk, because the wind and waves were calm, he was not in a hurry, he waded through the water carefully, and when the position was almost there, he put the water-avoiding beads in his mouth, closed his mouth, and submerged in the water, and that strange feeling appeared.

At this time, Meng Zitao felt like a fish in water, swimming in the water was extremely easy, and all the oxygen needed by the body was absorbed by the skin, and there was no trouble at all.

As for the line of sight, with the support of the miner's lamp and Meng Zitao's excellent eyesight, it is not a problem at all.

Meng Zitao swam happily like a fish, and since there were no fierce fish in Taihu Lake, he was not worried at all, and swam directly into the deep water.

With Meng Zitao's current physical strength, he swam with all his might, and the speed was very fast, and it didn't take long for him to feel that the water was three or four meters deep.

So, Meng Zitao began to search for the treasure at the bottom of the lake, but fortunately, with the increase of the ability level, the distance at which the ability can be viewed has been increased to two meters, so he is not worried that the treasure under the silt at the bottom of the lake will be missed too much.

It's just that there is an old saying, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny, Meng Zitao searched for more than half an hour, and the most valuable thing was to find a few gold and silver ingots, which was too different from his thoughts.

Of course, the waters of Taihu Lake are so big, and it is impossible to have too many treasures, and even if there is, it is not so easy to find, otherwise, it would have been taken away by someone a long time ago, and it would not be his turn.

Therefore, Meng Zitao did not have anything to be disappointed in, but just patiently searched.

After another half an hour, Meng Zitao was suddenly startled, because the sixth sense came from the alarm, and then he saw a boat approaching him on the water.

Seeing this, Meng Zitao hurriedly turned off the miner's lamp on his head and dodged to the side, but in half a minute, the boat stopped where he had been.

This made Meng Zitao couldn't help but be surprised, couldn't it be that something on the water found him?

After a while, Meng Zitao felt that he was thinking too much, and after the boat stopped, after a while, three large boxes were thrown from the boat, and there were iron anchors tied to the boxes, and after a while, the boxes sank to the bottom of the lake.

Seeing this situation, Meng Zitao was curious and puzzled about the contents of the box, because this is very similar to a crime scene in a movie, but if it is said that it is filled with people, why should it be packed in a box?

"Is there something of value in there, but aren't they afraid they won't find it?"

Immediately, Meng Zitao patted his forehead, now there is satellite positioning, write down the latitude and longitude here, how can you still find it?

In addition, there is an easier way, which is to put an electronic tracker in the box, how can there be no possibility of not finding it?

The behavior of the people on the boat was so mysterious, and the curiosity in Meng Zitao's heart was aroused, and he wanted to know what the contents of these three big boxes were.

The owner of the boat was probably relieved and immediately drove away. Again, if it weren't for their internal problems, under normal circumstances, who would know that the box was sunk here?

Seeing that the boat was gone, Meng Zitao swam directly to the location where the three boxes were, and when he was about to arrive, he used his ability, and as a result, there were spiritual energy in one after another in one box.

Meng Zitao immediately understood that this box contained nothing else, but antiques, and the ability to judge that the value of these antiques was very high, adding up to hundreds of millions. These antiques are placed like this, needless to say, and I know that the way from which they came from must be irregular.

Meng Zitao used his ability on another box, which was also antique, and the value here was even higher, 500 million, and most of it was provided by an antique.

Originally, Meng Zitao thought that the remaining box was also an antique, but the ability did not give any clear result, which made Meng Zitao very curious, thought about it, simply took out the tool from the small pocket, took off the iron anchor on the box, and then opened the box in a more violent way.

And the result also surprised Meng Zitao, because this box was actually filled with US dollars, and the US dollars in this box, at least five or six million, were all wrapped in plastic paper, and they were all old banknotes, even if they were used immediately, no one knew. (To be continued.) )
