Chapter 42: Shipwrecks and Sea Mussels

Demons have existed since ancient times.

If you want to say that the most famous demon is none other than Concubine Su of the previous dynasty!

Concubine Su is the most favored concubine of Xia Yu, the founder of the Great Xia Dynasty, in her later years, and it is said that this woman is a fox demon, she is not an ordinary fox demon, but the holy spirit of the demon fox clan - the Tianhu clan.

Sky Fox, born to transform into a human being, is almost the same as ordinary human beings, and is naturally charming, confusing people's hearts, and a successful cultivation Sky Fox, can even teach tens of millions of people to be crazy about it, so that it will bring disaster to the country and the people.

Some people say that the reason for the decline and fall of Great Xia is the reason for Concubine Su, Xia Yu has ignored the government in his later years, and indulged in Concubine Su's gentle township all day long, hunting for curiosities, looking for flowers and willows, and being at ease, and using the power of the country to conquer the Western Regions, but also to plunder rare treasures for Concubine Su and come back, just for the Pomeranian to laugh.

Sad! The big country can't even resist the concubine's smile!

At that time, there was Xiao Zheng, the only remaining person of the Eight Pillars of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, who died to admonish the Xia Emperor seven times, but was finally given death, and since then, the Great Xia Dynasty has inevitably declined.

After absorbing the lessons of the previous dynasty, after the founding of the Nanling Ji clan, he immediately ordered the world to kill the Tianhu clan, because of the Zhulian, at that time, nine out of nine foxes in the world were killed, and the Tianhu clan was even more deadly and injured, and it was difficult to see a trace for thousands of years.

Li Baye was thinking in his heart, since ancient times, heroes have been sad about the beauty pass, this so-called Concubine Su, I'm afraid it's not a little similar to Su Daji in the history of Huaguo in the previous life, this world is ...... What is the connection with the earth in the previous life? There are so many similarities!

......

After admiring the demon core, Li Baye took out a one-foot square animal skin, which was filled with intricate lines with black charcoal, and finally formed a delicate map.

This map is drawn by Li Baye himself, and the sources of information include the topographic map bought in the county seat before, as well as some nearby terrain overviews provided by Lao Ghost and Ye Landi, in addition to the terrain and coastal routes in the entire Surabaya Province on land, there is also a large blank, which is the marine overview of Qianxun Bay.

A large part of it has been outlined, the entire Qianxun Bay is about 300 miles from north to south, and the east-west span is also more than 200 miles, which can be called a big bay in the previous life, but in this world, I am afraid it is too insignificant.

Surabaya Mansion, one of the 36 cities in Nanyang alone, is larger than Chihiro Bay.

However, no matter how big or small, the resources on the seabed are not less, and the map has indicated the distribution details of many resources, such as the sea area where the yellow croaker school often moves, the place where shrimp and sea crabs are entrenched, the territory where the redtail fish live, and the area where dangerous sharks and marlin are infested, all of which are clearly marked, and there are also two red markings: one is the location of the shipwreck, and the other is the colony of sea mussels.

Of course, all this information comes from Xiaohong, and it has worked hard in the past two days, from south to north, through east to west, and has visited the entire Qianxun Bay several times, so that Li Baye, who exchanges information with it, has completed the basic situation of Qianxun Bay.

In addition to daily fishing, the next thing he has to do is the two places marked in red, one is the shipwreck, this shipwreck is the largest shipwreck in this sea area, Li Baye also used the method of visual connection today, and conducted a search for the ship, the entire hull is at least ten zhang long, the hull is very thick, and the outer edge is wrapped in iron armor, with traces of swords on it, it should be an ocean-going merchant ship, and it has also been at war with pirates, and somehow sank in Qianxun Bay.

He found a lot of treasures in the ship, originally Xiaohong could directly move some things back, but he suddenly found that even if he moved back, there was no place to put it, after all, his system space was only 1 cubic meter, and now all kinds of sundries have taken up more than half of the space, and it is definitely not enough to load the treasure of the sunken ship, so what should I do if I get it back?

If that's the case, it's estimated that there will be countless troubles coming to the door the next day.

Therefore, what he wanted was to wait for the time to be ripe for a while, and directly drive a big ship to empty the entire treasure of the shipwreck! As for the shipwreck, it will be used as a secret treasure spot for him for the time being, anyway, after so many years, no one has found out, right?

How coincidental is that he will be poached away by others during this time? Anyway, Li Baye doesn't believe it.

The other is the colony of sea mussels, which are known to have no nutritional value, their flesh is extremely smelly, and they are also active on the seabed in deep seas, which is generally difficult to catch.

However, the sea mussel has one of the greatest values, that is, it can give birth to pearls!

This principle is well known to passers-by in previous lives, but in this life, the difficulty of catching sea mussels directly determines the scarcity of ocean pearls! Rare things are precious, and there is no doubt that the group of sea mussels that cannot be seen at a glance will be a huge treasure!

In order to verify the guess in his heart, he even operated Xiaohong's body to catch several large sea mussels, returned to the cabin to break and pry open to check, and sure enough, he found pearls!

And it is also a large pearl the size of a fingernail, crystal round, charming color, at a glance is the upper layer of natural pearls, five sea mussels have opened two white pearls, this probability is still very large!

Li Baye privately asked Hou Feng what the price of an ocean pearl in the county seat was, and the latter's answer shocked his heart for a long time.

"You mean pearls? That's not something ordinary people can own, only high-ranking officials deserve to have it, and only those who are really rich will spend a few dozen taels of silver to buy a pearl. River mussel pearls are very rare, let alone ocean pearls!...... As long as it's a pearl, there's no woman who doesn't like it! There has always been a popular saying in the county, if you want a woman to fall in love with you, give her a pearl!" When Shi Feng spoke, his eyes were full of infinite yearning and longing.

A pearl is more precious than red blood coral!

The point is that pearls have no spiritual power or their own value, and they are much less practical than red blood coral, but women's preferences have created its unusually high price.

According to his estimates, there are tens of thousands of sea mussels if not hundreds of thousands, even if there is only a one-tenth probability of pearls, it is at least a few thousand!

Converted into silver, it is 100,000 taels of silver! It is estimated that the wreck is not as valuable as this group of sea mussels.

Thinking of this, Li Baye was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, it was another good day to go to sea, and all the fishermen hoped that this good day would continue forever, because every time they went to sea, they would earn an extra day.

Today, there are also many people who quietly found Hou Feng and the old ghost, and asked to join the fishing team of the Fishing Tyrant Alliance to go to sea together, but they were told that the Fishing Tyrant Alliance would not go to sea today.

Then, a piece of news quickly spread throughout the village.
