There are descriptions of various types of corals, some of which are not only medicinal and medical, but also one of the three major organic gemstones. In particular, the red coral is even more precious, and has been included in the list of first-class protected animals by the state, and some schools of Buddhism even believe that red coral is the incarnation of the Buddha!

However, Ao Tang is not interested in red coral, because according to information on the Internet, red coral is not a reef-building coral, and cannot form coral reefs and coral islands. There are hundreds of types of reef-building corals, and Ao Tang can't find out what kind of category this piece around him is for a while, but compared some characteristics, it is basically certain that it belongs to reef-building corals, which is enough, as for saying that this coral gray is not beautiful enough? He doesn't care.

The so-called coral reef is the skeleton left behind by the death of the coral, and of course there are some living corals that live to form a collective, and the small coral reef around it is not a single coral, or to be precise, not a single coral polyp.

Ao Tang has a headache, if you ignite coral, you can probably only ignite one life form and one polyp, right? But how could a tiny polyp have the power to build an island that would meet his needs? Do you want to ignite it?

"Damn, it's a big deal to waste a spot!"

Ao Tang made up his mind, and the small piece of coral reef was suddenly wrapped in red flames, the reef melted, and one by one the polyps turned into nothingness, only one of them was created, and it was instantly reborn, from an extremely low-level coelenterate to an aquatic monster with a spirit surname.

The polyp resembles a tiny polyp, only a few millimeters, and would not have been able to spot it unless it were for Ao Tang's keen eyesight. The polyp crawled slowly, stretching out twelve bright white tentacles, as if sensing the surroundings, looking for something.

Ao Tang thought about the information he had just read, the tentacles of corals were either multiples of six or multiples of eight, and they were divided into different subclasses, and it seemed that this kind of coral was the "six-release coral subclass", and the "stony corals" under this subclass were the main force in reef-building corals.

Coelenterates are really low-level, before this, even low-level animals such as fish and shrimp, once Ao Tang is ignited, they immediately have an ignorant consciousness, and can establish contact with Ao Tang, the dragon king, but this polyp, Ao Tang closed his eyes, but it was difficult to sense its existence. But it's normal to think about it, corals are low-level creatures that don't even have brains.

"Are you looking for me?" Ao Tang muttered, seeing that it crawls too slowly, the speed of the second is only about 1 millimeter - in fact, for an individual who is only a few millimeters, the speed of 1 millimeter per second is not slow - and was about to walk over to pick up the polyp, but saw its tentacles change direction, Ao Tang suddenly fainted, give you wisdom and new life, you didn't report to me as soon as possible, the dragon king, do you want to go elsewhere?

Seeing that the point of the polyp's tentacles was the blue and white jar in Zhang Geng's arms, Ao Tang was even more dizzy, could it be that the polyps regarded the big jar as their hometown and wanted to go back to their hometown? Anyway, Ao Tang carefully caught the polyp, for fear that he would accidentally pinch this little thing to death, and walked to Zhang Geng.

Zhang Geng's heartache game was turned off, and he forgot to put the blue and white jar away, the filling mouth was crooked, and suddenly two tentacles appeared, and a small shrimp crawled out. Ao Tang put the polyp into the big jar, but saw that the tentacles of the polyp suddenly stretched out, and it actually attracted to the belly of the small shrimp.

The little shrimp climbed a few steps, and suddenly a stumbling stumble, fell down, Ao Tang was stunned, carefully analyzed, and was shocked to find that there was a faint flow of fluid in the white and translucent tentacles of the polyp, and it was actually sucking the little shrimp! The shrimp hunched over and moved, but could not shake off the polyp, and after a while it did not move.

Ao Tang thought about what he had just seen on the computer, corals are carnivores! Just because the corals are too small, they can generally only hunt plankton, and they are preyed on by injecting venom through the speratophs, although the poison is not strong. The specific way to eat is to use tentacles to drag plankton into the mouth and eat them.

But now this polyp is not an ordinary polyp, perhaps the most special one in the past, not only attacking relatively large small shrimp, the poisonous surname has also been improved, and now it is not "eating", it seems to be directly sucking the vitality of small shrimp.

Ao Tang couldn't help but be ashamed, even if he was at the beginning, or all the other aquatic tribes that were ignited, they all obtained the vitality of the aquatic tribe by eating aquatic animals in the initial stage, and this polyp was actually sucking directly, I really don't know if it should be considered low or high?

After a while, the shell of the small shrimp had lost its original luster, and the polyp withdrew its tentacles, and its body had grown from a few millimeters of polyp to about a centimeter. It crawls onto the carcass of the shrimp and opens its mouth to bite at the relatively soft belly.

Ao Tang watched quietly, and it took a lot of hours to eat snacks before the polyps gnawed off half of the shrimp's body, and as they ate, the body began to swell, and the surface was no longer white and transparent, but covered with a layer of gray bones.

If it is an ordinary coral, once it is so, it is trapped by the weight of the bones, and from then on it can only grow in place, metabolism, generation after generation of polyps die, generation after generation of polyps are born, more and more bones accumulate and gradually become reefs, until the islands and reefs.

But this polyp, the inner soft body actually supports the outer bones, and continues to crawl with the bones, and because of the increase in size, it crawls faster than before. Watching the polyp crawl into the big tank, Ao Tang understood its purpose this time, not to go home, but to devour its prey and absorb the vitality of the aquarium. The same is true of other previous aquariums, which have a rapid growth period after being ignited, and need a lot of predation.

Ao Tang took a closer look at the mouth of the bottle and found that there were a lot of small animals inside, and glanced at Zhang Geng angrily. Zhang Geng's face was full of frustration, the computer game was turned off by Lord Dragon, and next time he had to start from scratch, and now his lunch box was occupied by polyps, looking at Lord Longwang's face, it was clear that the polyps were preyed on in his lunch box!

As Zhang Geng expected, Ao Tang commanded: "The food in this big jar is all for the polyps, uh, you have to give it a name, Shanjia?" After thinking about it, he shook his head, this coral is just an attempt, he is not going to form a complete coral team, if one coral can't help him build an island and reef, then ten can't do it either, in this case, the coral is alone, no need to be dry, just like a tortoiseshell, "Let's call it coral." ”

"Zhang Geng, don't play games all the time, moderate game puzzles, excessive games hurt your body, I'm here tonight, you go swimming in the sea to exercise, and come back before dawn." Let's go too. ”

The blue armor crawled away happily, it missed the sea.

Zhang Geng sighed, climbed out, and reluctantly looked at the computer before leaving, thinking that fortunately, Lord Dragon King would not stay for long, and he must clear the customs tomorrow!

Ao Tang turned around and found a relatively clean room to sleep in, but he could only sleep for two or three hours, and he had to rush back to Shencheng for breakfast.

On the morning of August 30, Ao Tang and Yu Zhiwei came to Lao Li's Leguzhai again, and the car drove directly to the back door and moved the things into the secret room.

Li Wenbo looked at the silver dollar first, opened it and saw that Rao knew it in advance, and he still couldn't help but take a breath, densely and neatly ten thousand silver dollars.

"It's spectacular." Li Wenbo sighed, in fact, if you take the current RMB one yuan coin and pile up 10,000 pieces, although it is only 10,000 yuan, it will also give people a visual impact, thinking that Ao Tang has a total of 199 and a half boxes, it should be two hundred boxes at first, if two hundred boxes of 1 million silver dollars are all piled up on the table, how spectacular it should be?

He randomly sampled dozens of pieces, nodded and said: "The quality is medium, with the current market, these two boxes can give you 5 million." ”

Ao Tang nodded, if he didn't consider the fall in the price of silver dollars, two boxes could be worth six or seven million, it seemed that Lao Li made a lot of money, but a large number of silver dollars entered the market, and he had to bear the risk of falling prices.

"Otherwise, Uncle Li, you don't have to give me money immediately, today is August 30, to September 1, 12, we will settle these two boxes, if the market remains unchanged or rises, you will give me 5 million at that time, if it falls, give me the price of the fall."

Since Lao Li is Yu Zhiwei's elder, and since Ao Tang is not short of money, he simply counts the risk of falling prices on his own head.

Lao Li didn't postpone it, agreed with a smile, and looked at the blue and white porcelain, first from the Qing Dynasty.

"This is a courtyard lady pattern bottle, but it's a pity, Ao Tang, Zhiwei, you look at the style here, and the enamel here can be rubbed...... Although it is not inferior, there are too many similar bottles, just the display in my façade, there are two, if this thing goes to auction, it is estimated that it can be worth more than 100,000 yuan, if it is directly in the antique shop, 10,000 pieces can be bought. ”

"But this, this is a pair of carmine dragon pen, first of all, a very key, is a pair, and then look at the other, the dragon pattern, the style is rich and gorgeous, the pattern is lifelike, I estimate it at 300,000, if you are lucky, you can auction more than one million."

Look at the three Ming blue and white again, the glaze safflower bird pattern plate, the four bachelor melon jars, and the group of immortals to wish longevity large jars, Li Wenbo was estimated at hundreds of thousands.

"If it is auctioned, it will probably exceed one million."

Ao Tang listened to it, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, there was not a tens of millions, how many times would it take to auction tens of millions to break through 100 million?

I also asked Li Wenbo to look at Yuan Qinghua, and Lao Li took the first one, "Mandarin duck lotus leaf pattern jade pot spring bottle, inferior product." "Directly sentenced a Yuan Qinghua to death, it is really too inferior, just like Adou who can't be supported, even if the packaging is operated, it can't be filmed.

The second, "Xinglong Peony Pattern Beast Ear Jar, this quality ...... It's okay, maybe two million. ”

Dizzy, these can't add up to yesterday's one, Ao Tang handed over the last Yuan Qinghua, Lao Li's eyes finally lit up, and he tasted it for more than half an hour before nodding and said: "King Wen visits the Xian pattern big jar, let's try it to see if we can cover yesterday's tangled peony pattern gourd bottle." ”

Ao Tang is overjoyed, although he is not greedy for money, but he can't be the owner of the island without money, so he still hopes that the more the better, and Yu Zhiwei next to him is also happy for him.

After reading Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was already noon, in fact, this speed was already very fast, because Li Wenbo knew that Ao Tang was all Hailao porcelain, no matter what the quality was, at least it was a real antiquity. If you change to someone else, the first thing to detect is the authenticity, because now many imitations cannot distinguish the real from the fake with the naked eye, which will take time.

"Are you hungry? Snacks on the side, you can fill your stomach first, and we will eat after we have all been identified. ”

Lao Li picked up the last two and said with a smile: "Song Yao, Ao Tang, you are a Tiannan person, how did you encounter so many shipwrecks?" ”

He doesn't believe that so many porcelains in Ao Tang are from the same shipwreck, just like the three Ming blue and white just now, according to his identification, they are Ming Yongle, Ming Jiajing, and Ming Chongzhen. However, he just sighed casually, and didn't really ask, even if there was a Yu family in the middle, so that they had a relationship with each other, but the most taboo thing in this line of work is to get to the bottom of it.

"The official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty is out of the halberd flower, but unfortunately, although it is the five major kilns, it is an inferior product."

Ten porcelains have produced two completely worthless inferior products, if you count tens of thousands of courtyard ladies pattern vases are three, Lao Li picked up the last one, a gadget, a hollow pen holder.

"The Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty is also one of the five major kilns."

Lao Li's movements slowed down again, first with a magnifying glass and then with a microscope, exploring every inch of the hollowed-out pen holder.

Ao Tang and Yu Zhiwei looked at each other and smiled, professionals like this tend to ignore time once they are immersed in their field of expertise. The two retreated to the coffee table on the sofa next to them, tasted a few small biscuits, and Yu Zhiwei found a box of bagged tea, made tea and sat opposite each other to enjoy it.

It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that Lao Li stopped and exclaimed: "There are not a few celadon pen holders I have seen, and this is the first one." But Ao Tang, don't be happy first, the pen holder is limited by the shape, it should be inferior to the big pot of King Wen's visit to Xian, try to make it not less than 10 million. For the remaining four months of this year, I will do my best to operate the gilded bronze Buddha statue, the large jar of Yuan blue and white Wenwang's visit to Xian, and the hollow pen holder of the Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty. As for the hundreds of thousands, millions of things in the front, just leave it to my apprentice to practice, the operation is the best, if it is not successful, Ao Tang you will bear more. ”

Of course, Ao Tang has no opinion, it is natural to grasp the big and let go of the small, and besides, he doesn't have to do anything except provide auction items, just wait to count the money, and it is unreasonable to complain.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Ao Tang was sitting with Yu Zhiwei resting in a lakeside landscape, and a text message suddenly came to the mobile phone, thinking that it was either a spam text message, or Mi Lu came to check the post, but when I opened it, it turned out to be Zhang Geng's: "Lord Dragon King, the coral was accidentally killed by me......

Ao Tang's face changed slightly, and he savored his dragon scales, although the connection with the coral had not yet been established, but the coral mark on his dragon scales appeared at the first time of ignition, even if Zhang Geng said that the coral was dead, there was no abnormal change.

"What's wrong? What dragon king, coral's? ”

When the text message came just now, the two were leaning together, and Ao Tang did not deliberately avoid it, but it made Yu Zhiwei look confused.

"Uh, nickname!"

"Oh, nickname." Yu Zhiwei nodded, "Ao Tang, you are such a good swimmer, you can indeed be called the Dragon King." ”

Ao Tang laughed a few times, and said: "I have something to do here, I want to go to Chuanshan immediately, I can't accompany you for dinner, I'll see you tomorrow morning, okay?" ”

"Hmm."

Although there were some doubts in her heart, Yu Zhiwei was still reasonable, and when Ao Tang left, a text message suddenly came from her mobile phone, but it was Chen Yuanyuan's.

Ao Tang galloped all the way, in fact, there was no anxiety in his heart, if the other water tribes died, he would be sad, after all, there would be feelings when they got along, but the coral was only lit in the early hours of this morning, and even the spiritual connection was not established, so there was no relationship for the time being.

When I arrived, I saw Zhang Geng in a daze.

I don't think it's Zhang Geng who deliberately killed the coral, is it guilt now? Ao Tang was about to say a few words of relief, but Zhang Geng had already seen him, and hurriedly stretched out two tentacles, pointing left and right, and shouted: "Lord Dragon King, the coral is alive again, one has become two!" ”

Ao Tang was taken aback, could it be split reproduction?
