Found the herbs, Liu Mengxun was in a good mood, so he went out shopping with the blue phoenix, the streets of the Maldives are naturally different from the imperial capital, since he came, he naturally had to take a good stroll.

And Zhang Tianyuan and Zhanfei came to a family on Male Island, this person was introduced by Li Mingguang, saying that he was an expert in studying the history of the Ming Dynasty in his early years, and later went to the Maldives because of some things, and lived for more than ten years.

This person is much younger than Li Mingguang, if you analyze it purely from the appearance, he is only in his early forties, in fact, it is about the same, this person has a local nickname called "Sea Fish", because he likes to dive in the sea very much, and even his home is on the beach, and he has a boat that can go to sea at any time.

After hearing Zhang Tianyuan's purpose, Haiyu asked him to take out the bronze mirror, saying that he wanted to see it first, this person is also very interested in history and antiques, so he is also very enthusiastic about Zhang Tianyuan and Zhanfei.

Haiyu took the bronze mirror in his hand and looked at it again, and suddenly, he stood up suddenly, turned around and walked towards the house, causing Zhang Tianyuan and Zhanfei to be stunned, thinking that this guy was going to be greedy for ink, so he hurriedly chased in.

When I got inside, I saw that the sea fish had attached a bronze mirror to a long cylinder like a diorama, and was looking inside.

Diorama, Shangpu people call it "diorama", foreigners call it "peepshow", and northerners call it "pull foreign films". It is also known as "Western View".

In the old days, a kind of amusement device introduced into China by the West (Europe and the United States) was a kind of amusement device, because it was operated in a dark box according to the optical principle, so it was a little mysterious, and once it was opened. It's just a few pictures, so it's not unusual.

The alley entrance of Shangpu in the old days. There are often figures of people who put dioramas. The children were surrounding a large box with several small holes on one side. For the eyes to come up and see. For two cents, or with a leftover potion bottle in lieu of money, you can see up to ten pictures. This stuff came into China earlier than the movie, and it was full of foreign customs.

Because the foreign atmosphere was relatively open at that time, compared to China, which was still relatively conservative, the picture in the diorama was too exciting.

"Come and see. The sea fish handed the long cylindrical thing to Zhang Tianyuan and asked Zhang Tianyuan to look at it.

Zhang Tianyuan took it and took a look, and the front was a glass lens. The back is equipped with a bronze mirror, and then through this glass lens, Zhang Tianyuan actually saw an octopus!

The lifelike octopus, especially the tentacles, seemed to be moving, and when carefully analyzed, it turned out that this octopus was actually composed of ornaments on a bronze mirror, and it was impossible to understand it when you saw it with the naked eye. However, if you look through a special lens like guò, some of the ornaments will be magnified, so that you can see clearly.

In addition to this lifelike octopus, there are even a few Chinese characters - nine touches!

"Where did you get this thing from?" Haiyu saw Zhang Tianyuan put down the long tube. He asked eagerly.

"I just bought it by chance at an antique market in China, how is it strange?" Zhang Tianyuan asked with some confusion.

"You're lucky, just take a stroll. You can even find this thing. This is called the Nine Touch Mirror, and it is something from a pirate ship that Zheng He defeated when he went to the Western Ocean. That pirate ship is called the Nine Touches! You know, I'm looking for the Nine Touch Mirrors. I have lived here for more than ten years, but I have only found three sides. Haiyu smiled bitterly, and then asked Zhang Tianyuan to wait in the living room, entered his room and took out three bronze mirrors, which were exactly the same in Zhang Tianyuan's hand.

Zhang Tianyuan carefully observed the bronze mirrors, but they were much smaller than the one in his hand, but the patterns on them were exactly the same, the workmanship was very exquisite, and the materials were genuine bronze, but from these small bronze mirrors, you could smell a very strong smell of seawater, and it could be judged that it should indeed be fished from the sea.

Zhang Tianyuan casually used the word appraisal trick to identify, but he was taken aback, the big bronze mirror in his hand should have been made around 49 years ago, and the three small bronze mirrors were much earlier, it turned out to be the bronze mirror of the Ming Dynasty, but this workmanship is almost indistinguishable, if it is not for Zhang Tianyuan to have a word appreciation trick, he will definitely think that this is from the same person's hand.

"You see the lime-like dirt on these bronze mirrors, this is the characteristic of seafood, this thing is not easy to clean, and if you sell it on the market, its value will be greatly reduced. Haiyu shook his head and said: "I have found a lot of good things in the underwater coconut over the years, but they have all been sold, after all, I need money to do research." ”

"This is the so-called seafood, I haven't seen it before, is it easy to salvage?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.

"The original meaning of seafood is actually the animals and plants in the sea, but in our industry, seafood refers to the antiques caught in the sea. There are porcelain, as well as gold and silverware, which are relatively easy to salvage, and most of the ones I have fished over the years are porcelain, and there are also some jade. Haiyu explained: "The reason why I am called Haiyu is because I often dive into the sea, and now my health is a little bit bad. ”

"I see, but I've heard that there seems to be an ancient tomb at the bottom of the sea, right? You have been diving in the sea for so many years, haven't you seen it once?" Zhang Tianyuan asked curiously.

"No, no!" After Haiyu heard Zhang Tianyuan's words, he was obviously a little nervous, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Where is the ancient tomb in the sea so easy to find, no, no!"

"Mr. Haiyu, we are not from the government department, we just want to know the secret of this bronze mirror, if you have encountered it, can you tell me, I really want to know." Even if Zhang Tianyuan didn't need to use the word recognition trick, he could see that Haiyu was lying, so he couldn't help but say.

Haiyu "poof" sat on the chair, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "I've seen it, but I don't want to mention it." Just one time, but it gave me nightmares for all these years. I don't tell you, it's for your own good, if you're really not afraid of death, then you can try, but don't blame me for not reminding you, the ancient tombs in the sea are different from those on land, they are often nine deaths and one life, and they are very weird. ”

Next, Haiyu told Zhang Tianyuan and Zhanfei about his own affairs.

It turned out that when he came to the Maldives from China, Haiyu was alone, in order to come to the Maldives, he broke up with his girlfriend, and even broke up with his family, and finally gritted his teeth and came to this strange land, just to realize his dream that seemed ridiculous to others.

I thought that I would be lonely until I was old, but God was very kind to him. In the Maldives, he met a British university student who studied archaeology and was full of curiosity and interest in adventure.

So the two began to cooperate in many ways and gradually became friends.

The enthusiasm of the British woman made it difficult for the sea fish to resist, and soon the two of them cooked the raw rice into rice, although they have never been married, but they are very affectionate, and many of the things he fished from the bottom of the sea are the sales found by this British woman.

The key Haiyu has a more introverted personality, and if you ask him to do business, then he will definitely not be able to do it, so just like that, the two of them cooperate very well.

"Well, it would have been nice if I hadn't let her go down that time, blame me, blame me. As he spoke, the fish began to feel sorry for himself.

It turned out that after a long time, the English woman also learned to dive, and wanted to go to the sea with the sea fish. It's no wonder, after all, as a girl who likes to explore, it's okay if you don't know how to dive, but once you learn to dive, you can't help it and want to try it.

The sea fish resolutely disagreed with this and repeatedly blocked it.

But on one occasion an Englishwoman's fellow countryman came, an expedition from Cambridge University, who wanted to go to the bottom of the sea in search of something with the help of the fish.

This time, Haiyu finally failed to stick to his principles, considering that his girlfriend's diving ability is not bad, and it is easier to take care of these people, so he agreed.

However, it was this exception that finally led to the tragic death of his girlfriend, which made him miserable.

"I'm a bastard! an unprincipled bastard!" the sea fish twitched twice in his face, and tears could not help but flow.

Zhang Tianyuan was embarrassed to let him continue, but Haiyu said as if no one was talking to him, as if he was talking to himself.

In fact, the first time she went into the water, it was very smooth, and her classmates and teachers were very happy. Because not only did they find what they wanted, but they also found an old British pirate ship that sank at the bottom of the sea, and there was a large amount of silverware on that ship, so much that even I was shocked, I thought it was my girlfriend's luck to me, so later, I didn't stop my girlfriend from going into the water, alas, they were all blinded by greed and completely forgot about the danger. After all, I'm just a diver, I don't understand the horror of the ancient tomb at all, if it's just a pirate ship, it's fine, but we are so arrogant that we dare to touch the man-eating demon cave!"

"When we found the silverware, there was an argument, and I think it should be divided, which is a very polite statement. However, my girlfriend's classmates and teachers thought that these things had important research value and should be transported back to the Cambridge University research laboratory. Hell, why do I have to do that? I know that the silverware has research value, but they won't give me any compensation, can I be happy? I just take it for nothing? It's not stone, it's silver!"

"Maybe this dispute is the beginning of the tragedy, but none of us realized that under the persuasion of our girlfriend, we put this issue on hold for the time being, and prepared to wait until we have fished out everything below. I also agreed to this matter, but I only agreed with my mouth, but I felt very uncomfortable in my heart, because my girlfriend did not face me. (To be continued......)
