467.The Legend of the Ancient Temple (1/5)

The beauty of black pearls and gold pearls, even in the modern jewelry market where various gemstones are frequent, are still expensive, they are indeed very beautiful, Ao Muyang looked at it, and wanted to take it back to raise a batch by himself.

But he kept his mind in mind, and this time he came to buy mussel seedlings.

The price of mussel seedlings is low, and freshwater pearls are of little value, so the value of freshwater pearl oysters is even lower.

He came to the right place, because of the small profit margin, many pearl farms no longer have a freshwater pearl oyster, and the Beibu Gulf pearl farm is large-scale, and it still maintains a sufficient number of ethnic groups.

Ao Muyang was very embarrassed when he learned about this, people took so much trouble to entertain them, but they couldn't make money on them, which is a bit unauthentic.

Business cooperation, win-win can be long-lasting.

However, Lu Mengzi didn't care about this, and when they visited the farm, he arranged for Assistant Liu to take them to Bailong Town to visit the ruins of Pearl City.

During the ancient feudal dynasties, pearls were mainly contributed to the imperial family.

The Yunwan area is rich in high-quality sea pearls, so the successive dynasties will arrange for the palace eunuchs to supervise the pearl people to collect pearls here.

In this way, Pearl City gradually appeared, of course, because of the scale, it is said that the "city" is actually a small town, and now it has become a scenic spot.

Pearl City is almost parallel to the farm, more than ten kilometers away, also by the sea, and on the edge of a promontory that juts out into the ocean.

Now the Pearl City has become the ruins of the Pearl City, and there are a large number of weathered remnants of shellfish around the ruins, the color is yellow and white, and it is a piece of blue.

Assistant Liu said: "In the heyday, the walls of Pearl City were made of pearl oysters, which was very strong, because many pirates in the open sea coveted the pearls here, and they often attacked. ”

Ao Muyang asked, "Who destroyed this Pearl City?" It shouldn't be pirates, is it the work of the Red Guards during the buzzing period?"

Assistant Liu shook his head: "That's not it, this place was destroyed by the devils, and the devils hit this side when they invaded China, because this is the place where the pearls were cultivated in the past dynasties, and they scavenged the equipment, experts and pearl oyster seedlings together, and it is said that even the seabed mud was scraped away and transported back to Dongying." ”

As he spoke, he looked in the northeast direction, with a look of injustice on his face: "Hmph, it's a pity that we can't fight now, otherwise we will have to fight with Dongying and take back everything they plundered!

Ao Muyang smiled, he didn't expect this young man to be an angry young man.

There is an ancient temple called Liuzhu Temple in the Pearl City Scenic Area, there is a big turtle in each of the four corners of the temple, they have suffered different degrees of damage, the most complete big turtle head is also broken, and the stone tablet on the back is written with four lines of poetry:

Haipu is vast and the moon shadow is lonely, and a boat is called after a boat. In the past, the boats were gone, and the tears were dry.

Ao Muyang didn't know which poet's masterpiece this was, he sighed after reading it: "It seems that the abbot of the temple is still kind-hearted and allows such a poem that exposes the miserable life of the pearl people to be written on the stele." ”

Assistant Liu nodded and said: "The ancient pearl people are indeed miserable, how prosperous the pearl city is, how much blood and tears the pearl people have...... Uh-huh. ”

For a moment, he couldn't find the right word, so he changed his words: "In the past, pearl people used to dive and collect pearls, and they all sank to the bottom of the water with stones on their backs, and no one lived to be thirty years old, because everyone gets diving sickness." ”

This topic is rather sad, Assistant Liu took them to the temple hall again, pointed to a cave and said: "There are the tombs of some overseers and eunuchs in ancient times, and now they have become a scenic spot, do you want to go and see it?"

Ao Muyang shook his head: "What is there to see in the cemetery?"

Assistant Liu said: "There has always been a rumor in our local area that there are many layers of natural caves under this Liuzhu Temple, and the tombs that are being developed now are only the top layer of the caves, and there are some holes below, which are buried with pearls and other treasures looted by the eunuchs. ”

Ao Muyang has never been interested in this kind of treasure hunting legend, and they also have many shipwreck treasure legends over there, but now he has the ability to fly freely in the ocean, but he has never found a valuable shipwreck.

The only valuable ship is the Ming Dynasty Fu Ship Battleship, which is still maintained in the Maritime Museum.

A tourist next to him was interested, and after hearing his words, he asked, "Hey, has anyone ever found a trace of the treasure?"

Assistant Liu shook his head: "It's just a legend, there are indeed many big holes underneath, the bottom of this land has been hollowed out by the waves, and seawater has poured into these holes, except for the eunuch tomb on the upper floor, the other holes are all seawater, and no one can enter." ”

After Ao Muyang visited here, Assistant Liu took him away.

There are many pearl sellers at the entrance of the scenic spot, and when they heard that he and Zhong Cang had foreign accents, these people recruited them one after another:

"How beautiful it is for the young man to buy a string of pearl necklaces and bring them to his daughter-in-law. ”

"I have a pearl bag here, absolutely genuine, if you are interested, I will give you a real price, okay?"

"Brother, I know that you are rich people when I look at you, and you must have played with jewelry in normal times, right? Come and see that I have black pearls here......

Assistant Liu, who went to the parking lot first, drove back, and when he saw the hawkers blocking Ao Muyang and the two, he said loudly: "What are you doing? This is our honored guest of Brother Meng's Beibu Gulf, and none of you dare to fool him!"

Seeing him come forward, the vendors dispersed and laughed at their stalls.

After Ao Muyang got into the car, he asked, "Aren't the pearls here genuine?"

Assistant Liu explained: "It can be said to be genuine, it can also be said to be fake, it is indeed pearls, but they are all artificially cultivated defective pearls, which are not worth at all, and they are specially used to pit tourists, which is no different from those things on Taobao." ”

They returned to the farm and met Lu Mengzi, who smiled and said, "Brother Xiaoyang, how is the digestion of food?"

Ao Muyang said: "I ate too much at noon, and I haven't digested it yet." ”

Lu Mengzi waved his hand and said, "Then go around again, digest it well, and have another meal at night." ”

Ao Muyang: "......"

He returned to the farm and hurriedly selected river mussel seedlings, this is not difficult, Lu Mengzi will not pit him, the price given to him is already very affordable, 200,000 seedlings only 20,000 two.

In a hurry, he chose the seedlings, he was ready to retreat, this businessman did not make him money, if he stayed overnight, the family had to entertain food, drink and accommodation would lose money.

As a result, the weather is not beautiful, it is rare to have a rain in half a year on the Hongyang side, and there is abundant rain here, they have just selected the seedlings and are ready to leave, the clouds quickly shrouded up, and a heavy rain poured down.

The rain fell to the ground with a bang, rolling up big blisters, and Lu Mengzi smiled: "It seems that God is helping me keep guests, okay, I didn't say it, I'll have another meal at night!"
