In the wooden box, a palm-sized jade pendant lies quietly inside, but this piece of white and pure jade is not carved into a dragon, phoenix, unicorn and other auspicious rui, but a master-level landscape painting.

On it, between the mountains and mountains, a small valley jumps on it, there are thatched houses, there are pedestrians, it looks lifelike, its dress is simple, look at its hair and temples, it is obviously before the Qing Dynasty, but it is specific which dynasty, but can not be distinguished, more importantly, this landscape painting, less than half.

To be precise, it should be that only half of the jade given by the other party is gone, and the middle seems to have been cut by a sharp blade, and the other half of the landscape painting is cut off at the same time.

I don't know why, looking at the landscape above, Ye Fan has an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but what he can be sure of is that this is the first time he has seen this painting.

Not to mention the material of this piece of jade with warm tentacles, the carving on it alone is worth a lot of money, which shows that the other party is full of sincerity, but what Ye Fan is concerned about is not the value of this piece of jade, but the meaning of this landscape painting, and the loss of the other half.

"Is it only half?" Ye Fan put the jade into the box and covered it, looked at Fang Xuetong and asked.

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Fang Xue's heart suddenly changed, and the most worried situation still appeared, when he decided to give away this piece of jade, he had thought that there would be such a possibility, but in the end, he still chose this piece of jade, not purely because of the value of this piece of jade, but because of the meaning it represents.

A long time ago, he happened to hear someone say that Hai Lao likes antiquities and meaningful things, in his opinion, Ye Fan and Hai Lao have a good relationship, so naturally they should also like this category, and for this kind of people, there will definitely be no shortage of money, so instead of giving value, it is better to send meaning.

So he resolutely chose this piece of jade with representative significance, in fact, as he expected, looking at Ye Fan's expression, he seemed to be a little interested, but the problem was that he only had this half of the piece in his house, and as for where the remaining half was, he didn't know anything.

Even before, he tried his best to investigate, but there was no news.

"Mr. Ye rest assured, our family will definitely go all out to find the remaining half of the piece, as long as the half of the piece is still there, we will definitely be able to find it. Fang Xuetong gritted his teeth and said, this will make him have no way out, and even he still has a trace of extravagant hope in his heart, that is, to take advantage of Ye Fan's relationship, so that the Fang family will have a backer in the future, and he dare not say that he will go sideways in the South China Sea, but when others want to bully again, they have to weigh it carefully.

"No need. ”

Unexpectedly, Ye Fan shook his head directly, looked at Fang Xuetong and said, "I accepted the things, and this matter can end here." ”

After hearing Ye Fan's words, the Fang family's father and son were stunned for a moment at the same time, looking at Ye Fan in disbelief, as if they couldn't imagine that he would put it down so lightly, Ye Fan said that this matter ended here, which meant that he would not ask to break Fang Qilin's leg again, which made him ecstatic.

After all, who would want to break their leg until they had to do it as a last resort? Even if it could be cured later, the pain at that time was inevitable.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Ye. Fang Qilin hurriedly thanked him, and although Fang Xuetong was equally happy, he was faintly disappointed in his heart, after all, Ye Fan didn't need their Fang family's help to find the remaining half of the jade, so his mind was disappointed.

But Ye Fan's refusal to pursue this matter also made him completely relieved, and for the Fang family, it meant that a disaster was avoided.

When Dahai Zhenren found Ye Fan, Ye Fan was still looking at the half piece of jade, I don't know why, he always felt that there was a secret hidden in it, but because there was only half of it, he couldn't figure out what it was for a while.

"Aoba Road is friendly and interested. Dahai Zhenren looked at Ye Fan and said.

It made Daoyou smile. Ye Fan said and handed over the half piece of jade in his hand.

"The engraving is obviously from the hands of a master, but unfortunately half of it is missing. Dahai Zhenren looked at it and said with some pity, just looking at his expression, it didn't seem to be anything unusual, didn't he find it?

Ye Fan's heart moved, and he asked quietly: "Can you see what is mysterious in it?" I don't know why, when I first saw this thing, I felt that there was something hidden in it, but unfortunately I didn't have enough vision to see the truth. ”

"Is there anything else?" Dahai Zhenren was stunned for a moment, and then looked at it seriously, but after a while, he frowned, because except for a broken landscape painting, he didn't see any difference, but he knew that Ye Fan couldn't say this kind of thing for no reason, he must really feel it.

After a long time, Dahai Zhenren sighed and returned half of the jade to Ye Fan, "Don't hide it from Daoyou, I don't see any mysteries, maybe this jade is related to Daoyou, in fact, in the cultivation world, this kind of thing is not uncommon, many things, in the dark, have their own certainty." ”

"Maybe. Ye Fan couldn't figure out what was going on, maybe it was really as the real person of the sea said, maybe this half of the jade had a fate with him, otherwise he wouldn't have had that kind of inexplicable induction before, since there was a first time, I believe there will be a second time in the future, and when the remaining half of the jade is found, maybe the mystery can be revealed.

The next day, Ye Fan and Dahai Zhenren went to sea again, because according to Dahai Zhenren's words, the power of the submarine volcano has been vented, although it still hasn't stopped, but with the ability of the two of them, they can already get closer.

Although the submarine volcano erupted, there was no media report, as if he didn't know, but Ye Fan knew that this must have been pressed down by the real people of the sea, otherwise if there were monitoring everywhere, or tourists who came to watch, they would not be able to go down to the sea to find Xuanhuang mud.

Compared with the appearance of the submarine volcano when it just erupted, although there is still smoke coming out of the sea at this moment, it is obviously much smaller, but after getting closer, you can still see the scene of the sea water being boiled and even burning, and under the sea surface, there is a huge shadow, which is obviously the magma erupted by the submarine volcano, and then after the sea water is cooled, it is superimposed layer by layer, so that the submarine volcano hugs a thick shell.

It's just that this shell is hundreds of meters, which is a bit exaggerated, but in fact, many small islands in the sea are slowly formed after the eruption of submarine volcanoes, but the time required is often calculated in 10,000 years.

More often than not, it collapses or sinks as the crust of the seafloor changes.

At present, this sea area has long been devoid of various marine life such as fish and shrimp, and even standing on the yacht, you can still feel a blazing heat blowing in the wind.
