Chapter 474: Frightened and Inexplicable

readx;??? ps: Thank you Yuntian for the big monthly pass, 10,000 times for the big reward!

As soon as Brother Long heard that Wu Di wanted everything, he cracked his mouth and smiled wordlessly, and said:

"Two pieces of silverware, 50,000 yuan each, Muramasa knife, 100,000, and a chessboard of quince wood, 500,000, a total of 700,000!"

Wu Di frowned, the quotations of these things were a little unexpected to him, not because they were high, nor because they were low, but because they were high and low. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The price of the piece of quince chessboard was the most off, as he estimated it at around the millions. As an antique from the early Edo period in Japan from 400 years ago, it is likely that one million is low, let alone 500,000? Brother Long quoted this price, obviously not judging its specific year.

However, the silver cigarette case was quoted higher, and it was more than doubled, and the price of that thing should not exceed 20,000 yuan. As for the remaining two, they are about the same price as those on the market.

Wu Di's purpose here was to see if he could find some clues from Brother Long, and buying antiques was purely for the sake of hunting. Although he has always disliked that nation, it doesn't mean that he doesn't like their good things, such as the discs about enlightenment education that many Chinese masters have received......

"Brother Long, I know it's not easy for you to make a trip, but this price is indeed a bit high. In this way, a total of 500,000 will be successful, if it doesn't work, let's cooperate next time, what do you think? ”

Brother Long hesitated slightly, and clapped his hands happily,

"Okay, deal!"

"By the way, Brother Long, I still have a few things here, you see, if you have a chance to get it, please be sure to inform me."

Wu Di handed him a note that he had prepared a long time ago, and on it were written several kinds of porcelain that had been imitated by the mysterious master.

Brother Long glanced at it casually and put it in his pocket. smiled and stretched out a big calloused hand to Wu Di,

"I'll definitely let you know if there's news!"

A few people said goodbye to Brother Long, walked through the hall downstairs again, and walked to the door of the bar, Wu Di suddenly stopped and said to Boss Song:

"Boss Song, thank you, I suddenly want to play here for a while, I don't know ......"

Boss Song smiled bitterly,

"Master. You guys play here, I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'll go back first. That ......"

"I can't give you any guarantees about that, but I think it won't be long before it comes out, and I'll let you know when the time comes."

Boss Song shook his head, waved a taxi to stop, got into the car and left. Wu Di watched the taxi disappear into the traffic, turned his head and pushed open the door of the bar. Walk towards the corner you just noticed.

"Hello, I hope it didn't bother you."

Wu Di stopped behind a semicircular sofa in the corner, and a thin middle-aged man opposite him stood up hesitantly, about to speak. A woman also stood up on the sofa in front of Wu Di, and quickly turned her face.

"Is that you?"

"That's right, it's me. What about Xiaomei? Slept? ”

Wu Di walked into the enclosed space surrounded by two semi-circular sofas, and smiled and handed out his right hand to the man.

"Wu Di, what do you call it?"

The man shook his hand warmly and said with a smile:

"It turns out that you are a friend who bought wool in a joint venture with Xiaomei. Hello, I'm Xiaomei's father, Ou Qiang, this is my love, Su Jin. ”

After a few people sat down and chatted for a few words, Wu Di knew why he met them here. Au Qiang and Su Jin are both mainlanders, one is a PhD student at the University of Hong Kong and the other is a graduate student, and their majors are the main reason why they often come to this seafarers' bar. Because their research direction is maritime archaeology.

Maritime archaeology? When Wu Di heard this, he was interested,

"Isn't maritime archaeology primarily about the salvage of shipwrecks?"

Ou Qiang smiled, although he studied this for shipwreck salvage, but marine archaeology is not only in this direction.

"That's also a direction, marine archaeology actually includes a wide range, prehistoric landscapes, underwater monuments, oceans and its attached beaches and other places of historical monuments, etc., are the direction of our research. However, if you want to make a fortune, you really have to study the salvage of shipwrecks. ”

Su Jing shook her head on the side and did not speak. Shipwreck salvage, only those who have been in contact with it know, without advanced equipment, strong financial and material support, not to mention making money, it is good to be able to keep it without compensation.

Wu Di has long thought about the treasures in the ocean, but firstly, there is no time, and secondly, there is no manpower, so he has not thought about it specifically. But a few days ago, a trip to Europe made him decide to set up a private museum, and this ocean treasure hunt was put on his agenda. This time, I actually met two high-achieving students who studied marine archaeology, so I naturally wanted to take the opportunity to ask for advice.

"There are countless shipwrecks in the ocean, and the total value of the treasures carried is estimated to be in the trillions of dollars! However, over the years, few ships have been successfully salvaged for many reasons. The most important of these is the difficulty in identifying the sinking site and the backwardness of salvage technology. Xiao Jing and I chose this direction at that time and were also tempted by this beautiful fantasy, but after actual contact, we learned that many legendary shipwrecks carrying heavy treasures are basically impossible to salvage with the current detection and salvage technology. ”

Ou Qiang took a sip of beer and responded lightly to Wu Di's enthusiasm.

"Really? Wouldn't it be possible to know the environment of the seabed and the condition of the wreck very clearly? ”

"It's a lot simpler, but if the marine environment is too complex, no matter how much you invest, you're not sure of it. The salvage company we are working in now has two salvage ships, which can salvage wrecks within 3,000 meters, which is already relatively advanced. However, they haven't been to sea for a long time, mainly due to the uncertainty of the harvest and the lack of upfront investment. ”

Wu Di asked a few more questions, and only then did he initially understand the difficulty of salvage, even if he had a clairvoyant eye and could clearly see the shipwreck on the bottom of the sea, there was still a distance away from the successful salvage.

After chatting casually for a few more words, he was about to say goodbye, when Su Jing's words left him behind.

"In fact, when we finished our undergraduate studies, we already knew the difficulty of seabed salvage. At that time, there were several paths before us, and continuing to study this direction was the worst one. But this guy chose this direction without hesitation, and told me that his grandfather had told him his fortune, and that his future career was here, and that he would enter a golden period next year. No way, you see, not only did he plunge into it, but even I was tempted by him. It's good now, there is only more than half a year left, and I don't see any shadow of my future career! ”

"Oh, what's that to say?"

Wu Di didn't leave, ordered a few more beers, and decided to find out.

"My grandfather was a very powerful scholar and a fortune teller. When I was very young, he gave me a hexagram and said that my future achievements would be achieved on the ocean. Because he has never been inaccurate in fortune telling, my parents are convinced. Under their influence, I studied archaeology in college, and my graduate students directly applied for marine archaeology. ”

"A very good fortune teller? Can you tell us about it? How powerful is it? ”

Ou Qiang's eyes showed a look of memory,

"When I can remember, my grandfather's health was already very poor. I've never seen him tell fortunes to others, because he said that revealing heavenly secrets is punishable by the rules. But my parents told me a few things that made me think it was very incredible, and I even suspected that they were making it up, or some other reason, which happened to be a coincidence, because I didn't believe that a person could really be that accurate......"

As Ou Qiang spoke, a blind old man in a wheelchair suddenly appeared in front of Wu Di's eyes, gasping for breath while struggling to flip a thread-bound book with a blue cover on his lap. As if sensing that someone was watching him, he raised his head and gave a mysterious smile in Wu Di's direction.

Wu Di's hand holding the wine glass froze in the air, and then it shook violently, so much so that he couldn't stop the wine from spilling out with all his might. Because, he had already seen clearly what the old man was looking at was the book, the blue cover, the empty inner page, Huo Ran was actually a wordless book!

The body is very poor, and the leakage of heaven will be punished by the rules! Wu Di remembered Zhang Tianshi's warning, and couldn't help but let out a hoarse cry from the bottom of his heart, your sister! You're not telling me that this blind old man is the previous master of the Book of Heaven, are you?

Between the lightning and flint, he remembered the inexplicable familiar feeling he had with Xiaomei in the afternoon, and his hands trembled even more, could it be because of the Book of Heaven? Is it because Xiaomei is the granddaughter of this old guy?

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, are you okay?"

Ou Qiang, who was caught in his memories, suddenly saw Wu Di's face change greatly, trembling all over, and hurriedly stood up, shouting anxiously while going to pick up the cup in his hand.

As if disturbed, the scene in front of Wu Di's eyes suddenly drew a streamer and quickly drilled into his body. He suddenly woke up, looked at the people around him, let out a sigh of relief, and collapsed on the sofa behind him tiredly.

"I'm fine, maybe I'm too tired these days, I'm hallucinating, I'll be fine with a rest."

For a while, everyone stopped talking. The military advisor glanced at the sweat on his forehead, silently took out a few tissues from the table, and handed them over.

Wu Di took the tissue and mechanically wiped the sweat on his forehead, but there was a flash of lightning and thunder in his head.

The Book of Heaven is his biggest secret, and at this moment, this secret was actually revealed to him by a blind old man who had never met in this way, how did you let him not be frightened? (To be continued.) )
