Since Lu Jing had promised Wu Rin to give him all the credit for the fish monster he had killed, he naturally would not reveal the situation to others.

Therefore, no matter how Old Man Xu asked, he only replied with a mysterious smile of "guess".

"These three fins are excellent materials, and they should be sold at a good price in the craftsman's workshop, and as for the wood carving of this human head, the texture is somewhat like an ivory carving, I don't know much about this, if you really want to know, it's best to go to the antique shop and let them identify it." ”

Realizing that Lu Jing was unwilling to talk more about this matter, Old Man Xu reluctantly gave up the idea of getting to the bottom of it, and put his attention back on the things in his hand, especially the human head wood carving, stared at it for a while, and just as Lu Jing was about to take it back, he suddenly stopped his hand, and continued,

"No, there's something wrong with this statue!"

"Oh, what's wrong?"

To say that among these things, Lu Jing values the most, it is undoubtedly this human head statue, after all, it is the key item that allows Lu Jing to have extraordinary abilities.

"I think I've seen something like this before. ”

As if recalling the past, Old Man Xu's face suddenly showed a bit of solemnity, fiddling with the statue of the human head, and after a while, he frowned again, and said with a surprised face,

"Hell, the two things are so different in terms of material and shape, so why do I still think they're similar...... What is missing from this wooden statue of the human head......"

"Half of the story isn't a good habit, where have you seen anything like it?"

Lu Jing naturally knew what was missing in this human head statue, but the meaning of Old Man Xu's words also made him understand that what the latter had seen must be the existence of that energy that had not been extracted.

Obtaining more powerful extraordinary power is undoubtedly one of Lu Jing's goals when he goes to sea.

Lu Jing will not be satisfied with the card of the sea dependent!

"About 6 years ago, I saw a stone statue in the Tongtian Dojo on Qianhe Island in Mingde Mansion, and I heard that it was carved for a king, but the statue was bigger, and it felt very strange, and it was hard to describe in words, in short...... It's hard to say. ”

At the mention of this, Old Man Xu couldn't stop pouring wine into his stomach, as if he wanted to suppress a certain emotion churning in his heart, and even his gaze at Lu Jing was a little intriguing.

"Mingde Mansion, Qianhe Island, Tongtian Dojo. ”

Noting this place in his heart, Lu Jing didn't know that the statue was still there 6 years later, but if he had the opportunity, he would definitely have to go on a trip.

"I want to sell these things, do you have any recommended shops?"

If he had plenty of money, Lu Jing would definitely have to keep these things, who said that the most critical ship now was still short of money, not to mention the equipment and appliances on the ship.

"If I remember correctly, you should be a sailor, why are you in a hurry to raise money and get married?"

Clip a chopstick braised pork into your mouth, chew it twice, raise your eyes and ask.

"I've got a lot of money on a ship, so I want to get these things out as soon as possible. ”

There is no need to keep this kind of thing a secret about buying a ship, and there is only one sloop steam ship in Qingchu City, and Lu Jing doesn't want to wait any longer.

"Shoot as soon as possible...... There is a place to go, there are many people who know the goods there, whether it is moonlight shellfish or fish fins, there will be people bidding, and it is more refreshing than the people in Qingchu City, it depends on whether you dare to go. ”

"Do you dare to sell things?"

This time it was Lu Jing's turn to be confused.

"It depends on where you go, the shops in Qingchu City are safe, but there are not many people who know the goods, and they have to talk about it, and bargaining is also a common thing, and the place I recommend to you is called Shipwreck Island, which is a place where some special people trade...... Well, the so-called special people are pirates, gang members and some black market merchants, which is a trading place provided by the imperial court to these people by default, to some extent, it is also to ensure the safety of Qingchu City, there will not be too many mixed guys to gather here, and there will not be so much trouble. ”

Old man Xu seemed to know quite well about this matter, and then said,

"For example, the things in your hand must be sought-after goods there, and if someone specializes in collecting these things, it is easy to sell them for a high price, but the situation over there is very chaotic, and if you are not careful, you can easily be treated as a fat sheep, and armed fighting is not allowed on the island, but it is limited to the island. ”

"How do I get there?"

Lu Jing's answer was straightforward, which made Old Man Xu a little surprised, this is not like the attitude that an ordinary sailor should have!

"You bought the boat with the intention of becoming a special person?"

After a short silence, Old Man Xu asked an irrelevant question, staring at Lu Jing, waiting for his answer.

"The Infinite Sea is so big, I just want to go out and see the world. ”

Lu Jing was not honest enough to talk about his plans with someone who couldn't even be called a friend.

"3 silver dollars, I'll show you the way, although I haven't been there for a while, but I still know the situation on Shipwreck Island, if it goes well, I can sell what you have tonight." ”

"No problem, when can I go?"

3 silver dollars for a guide, this price is undoubtedly expensive, but if you count the two functions of appraiser and meter, it is worth the price.

"The bazaar on Shipwreck Island doesn't open until the evening, there are boats in Qingchu City that go there, you just need to arrive at the port before six o'clock in the afternoon, and I will be waiting for you there. ”

In order to avoid some fishermen accidentally getting into trouble, the wreck market is open from late at night until dawn the next day.

"Okay. ”

Lu Jing had planned to buy all kinds of supplies on board in the afternoon, so naturally he had no objection, raised his wine glass and touched it with Old Man Xu,

"Cheers!"

......

As dusk approached, the dark clouds in the sky had already dispersed, replaced by a bright red sunset.

Lu Jing, who had been shopping in Qingchu City for most of the day, returned to the port again.

The dirty clothes from the battle last night had long been thrown away, the upper body was a white long-sleeved shirt, the sleeves on both sides were rolled up, and the chest was also wide open, showing well-defined muscles, and the package on his shoulders contained things to be sold later, a light red wine gourd and a short knife pinned to his waist, and brown linen trousers on the lower body, except for the clogs on his feet, which "clicked" on the masonry road of the port.

The half-length black hair was tied behind his head with a leather band, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected his knife-and-axe-like face, Lu Jing held a kraft candy mixed with crushed peanuts in his mouth, and sat cross-legged on the beach stones with the outer figure of "six relatives do not recognize", looking at the old man Xu in the distance.

"Taste?"

He took out another kraft candy from the paper bag and handed it to Old Man Xu, which was one of Lu Jing's favorite snacks.

"Do you think my teeth hold up?"

His gaze stayed on Lu Jing, Old Man Xu grinned and said,

"I look like a dog when I change my clothes, and I don't know that I think you've bought a ship and become a captain now. ”

"It's a matter of time. ”

Lu Jing chewed the kraft candy, and from time to time took off the wine gourd and poured it into a mouthful.

"Isn't this a bar?"

Old man Xu, who had just gotten up from the stone, sniffed and looked at Lu Jing in some surprise.

"Apple juice, I never drink when I'm about to board a ship. ”

This is a habit left by Lu Jing when he was a captain in his previous life, as the captain of an ocean-going ship, anyone can drink, but he can't, because he needs to stay awake at all times.

Even if he drinks a thousand glasses.

"It's kind of interesting, there's not much you can do with this habit. ”

Walking towards the boarding place of the port, Old Man Xu glanced back at Lu Jing again, seeing that the expression on his face did not look like a lie, he laughed briefly twice, and then said,

"I now think you're qualified to be a captain. ”

As they spoke, the two of them came to the brig with the flag of the sunken ship, with a sampan resting on the edge of the harbor, and men in short clothes and fierce faces guarding the left and right.

Lu Jing looked up at the side of the ship, there were already many people standing there at this time, even if it was still a distance, Lu Jing could still feel more than a dozen eyes looking at him.

"Don't ask anything before and after, the fare is a silver dollar per person, give it to the one on the left, he collects the money, don't be timid, and put on a regular appearance. ”

Old man Xu reminded Lu Jing in a low voice.

Without saying anything, Lu Jing, who decisively followed Old Man Xu's prompts, soon realized that the hiring fee for the three silver dollars was not paid in vain, and when he handed over the two silver dollars to the person on the left and strode onto the sampan, the gaze on his body immediately disappeared by half.

Boarding the deck, Lu Jing looked around, just as Old Man Xu said in Qingyun Tower before, the ships were basically small groups of three or two, with fierce faces, all of them carrying weapons.

Finding a corner with a box to stay, Lu Jing looked at the sea dyed orange by the setting sun, enjoying the refreshing sea breeze blowing in his face.

"Wait on the island, remember to bear with a few points in case of trouble, it doesn't matter if you suffer a loss, remember that your wealth is not exposed, you have no backer and carry so many treasures, if you are discovered, there will be big trouble at that time. ”

While there was still time to spare, Old Man Xu still wanted to explain two sentences.

"I know, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. ”

Lu Jing nodded, but his gaze turned to a person not far away who had been looking at this side since he boarded the ship, opening his mouth and mouthing.

"What are you doing...... Didn't you say don't cause trouble!"

Noticing Lu Jing's behavior, Old Man Xu's expression froze, and he glanced sideways at the bald strong man with an ugly face over there.

He knew what Lu Jing said to the man in this silent way:

Are you looking at your mother?
