Chapter 3 Strange Beads

They chatted while walking, Li Yong said: "Why do you have to come to this troubled water if you have a good collection, the prehistoric ruins have no useful cultural relics at all, and even if you find them, the price will not be too high, because many people do not recognize the existence of prehistoric civilizations, so the market situation is not very good." Besides, the ruins of Atlantis are not a fun place, I heard that it is very weird. Do you know? It is said that the last time a ruins were discovered in China, the expedition team that went down all died, and there was no one left. I don't think it's better not to go to such a dangerous place. ”

Song Yixing said, "Do you know why I have to go somewhere? The leader of the underwater expedition you mentioned was my father, fifteen minutes after they dived, the headquarters contacted them, and after a month of search and rescue, his floating body was finally found in the sea twenty nautical miles away, his whole body was dry, even if he floated in the ocean for thirty days, his body was still dry, without any moisture, and then people found the bodies of other team members one after another, but the situation was the same without exception. At that time, the state blocked all news and only let the relatives of the deceased know, which is what I have been unable to let go of for so many years, so I must find out the real reason. ”

"I'm sorry, I mentioned your sadness. ”

"It's okay, you're also worried about me, how can I blame you?"

"If that's the case, then as brothers, there is no reason to retreat, so let's go and find out together! But now that the sea has been blocked by the government, we have to find a way to enter there. ”

Song Yixing said: "Then what can you do?"

"There's always a way, um... First of all, we had to buy the most professional diving equipment and look for a boat to go to Spratly Island. Since the water is so dangerous, there must be very few people in the archaeological team who dare to go into the water, for their own safety, they will definitely invite professional divers, and I know the captain of the most professional diving team in Hainan, I can ask him to do a favor and blend into the diving team, so that we can successfully enter that sea area. ”

At this time, above the starry sky, the men in blue were watching Song Yixing's actions, and at this time, Lao Dao said: "It's time for some things to be returned to their original owners." ”

When the man in blue heard this, he chuckled and nodded. Lao Dao transformed, instantly becoming a middle-aged man dressed the same as the earthlings at this moment, he took a step suddenly, and the next moment appeared in an antique shop. Moreover, his appearance and clothing turned out to be exactly the same as that of an antique shop owner, but the antique shop owner did not seem to be aware of his presence in the slightest. He walked directly towards the antique shop owner, and his body was directly submerged into the antique shop owner's body. Suddenly, the owner of the antique shop seemed to be a different person, and the aura of the whole person suddenly changed, making him seem to have an unfathomable feeling when he looked at it.

Song Yixing and Li Yong went to the largest mall in Hainan to buy the best diving equipment. When he left the mall, Song Yixing saw an antique shop, so he pulled Li Yong to go in and have a look.

Li Yong said: "There are no good goods in this place, most of them are used to pit tourists' money, so it's better not to go." ”

"Whatever, it's okay to go in and bump into your luck, it turns out that we're quite lucky, isn't it?" Song Yixing said as he pulled Li Yong in.

When you enter the antique shop, you will see a lot of antiques in the glass cabinet, all kinds, including blue and white porcelain vases, bowls, plates, various blue and white objects, calligraphy and paintings, jade, etc. A chubby man sat on a wicker chair behind the counter, humming an unknown tune. This man is the owner of the antique shop who was taken by the old man.

As soon as he saw them come in, he quickly got up from the rattan chair and smiled: "May I ask you what you need, we have everything here, and the price is absolutely fair." ”

Song Yixing said: "Let's see for ourselves, what is good and what I want." After that, he kept looking at it.

After a while, Song Yixing and Li Yong walked to a glass box in the center of the hall and carefully stared at the things inside, the boss saw that the two of them were staring at the counter, and hurriedly ran over and said: "This is the treasure of the store, the blue and white porcelain plate of the Yongle Year of the Ming Dynasty, I dare to say that there are few pieces of such a large object in the world, but its price is a bit ......."

Before it finished speaking, Song Yixing whispered to Li Yong: "This handicraft is too similar to the real thing, if other people are allowed to carry it, but look at this has been put for some years, even if you don't know if it's fake, no one should dare to buy this thing at this price." ”

Although the boss was still some distance away from them, his ears were really good, and he heard Song Yixing's words in his ears, but he didn't have much reaction, and walked in and whispered to him: "It seems that you two are experts! To be honest, this is indeed fake, but please take a step to speak." ”

So saying, he invited them to go upstairs and come to a quaint room. The boss said to them, "You are all connoisseurs, I won't lie to you, it is indeed a fake, I put it there on purpose, in order to find someone who can see that it is a fake." ”

Li Yong said: "What do you mean by this?"

The boss said: "Don't hide it, I have encountered something recently." So saying, he got up and went to a drawer beside him and took out a small box the size of a palm, and the little man was made of rosewood.

The boss opened the small box in front of the two of them, and there was a small crystal clear bead inside, and it also emitted a bright yellow light, among the beads, there were about five or six golden dragons constantly rotating in between, these golden dragons looked lifelike, as if they could break through the beads at any moment.

Li Yong was stunned and asked, "Could it be the Pearl of the Night?"

Song Yixing shook his head and said, "No." ”

The boss also said: "I have seen a lot of Night Pearl in my life, but it is definitely not a Night Pearl, I believe that since you know that the plate below is fake, you should also know that this pearl is also worth a lot." ”

Song Yixing said: "I can naturally see this, but boss, the trouble you said is none other than it." ”

"Exactly," said the boss.

"I haven't had much sleep since I had this little bead. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Song Yixing asked.

The boss sighed and said, "Hey, I've often dreamed of such a scene since I got this bead, and it's fine once or twice, but it's not a coincidence to dream about it every night." ”

Song Yixing said: "What kind of dream is it?"

The boss sighed again and said: "That's right, it's about dusk, the sky is full of fiery red fiery clouds, a pagoda and a bell confront each other, and suddenly they collide together, and the power brought by their impact destroys the heavens and the earth, and the earth is torn apart, and every time I am awakened by this might."

Sometimes hundreds of thousands of creatures are gathered under a pagoda suspended in the air, including people, animals, and some monsters, but under the vibration of the tower, all creatures quickly dry up until they turn into powder, and the blood of all creatures flies towards the tower, which is frantically absorbed. And the tower itself is getting bigger and bigger. Every time I see this, I wake up automatically, and my sweat will unconsciously soak my whole body. And now it is even more frequent, and now this dream is repeated almost every day. I don't want to murder you, if you are interested in my beads, I can sell them to you cheaply now. ”

Li Yong said: "Since it's such an evil sect, why should we buy it? I still want money, but I don't want to give it to me now." You take it!"

Song Yixing stared at the bead for a while, and suddenly felt as if someone was behind him and said to him, "There is absolutely no harm in buying it." And it felt as if the bead was calling him to take it away.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I want this bead, let's make a price!"

After hearing this, the boss immediately smiled and said, "Okay, then it's a word, five thousand yuan." ”

Song Yixing said: "You are so evil, I also have a risk on my body, three thousand is good." ”

The boss pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, three thousand is three thousand, no regrets!" said and handed the box to Song Yixing.

Song Yixing just wanted to pay, but Li Yong next to him pulled him and said, "Brother, you can think about it, this is not a good thing, and it is not good to take it with you." ”

"Don't worry, I have my own measure, and besides, I won't lose money if I buy it for 3,000 yuan, and I can make a lot of money if I change hands. A wicked smile appeared on his face as he spoke.

"Okay, then stay!"

After that, Song Yixing finished paying the money, and the two left the antique shop and walked towards the port. On the way, Li Yong called the captain of the diving team and also made an appointment to meet at the port.

A few hours later, they met with Captain Hao, who claims to be the most experienced diver in China, on a boat in the harbor.

Captain Hao said to the two of them: "What are you two going to do there, I don't want to go to that place, it's very evil." ”

Li Yong said: "You don't care what we do, you just bring us there, and the benefits are indispensable to you." ”

"I'm not trying to take advantage of you, I'm trying to persuade you. Few people dare to dive in that area, let alone the discovery of the ruins of Atlantis, so no one dares to go there. ”

"Okay, don't scare us, don't you old man just want money, just say it, why are you making up so many words. Do you think I'm not your boss?"

"I'm not lying to you this time, I'll tell you the truth, as early as the day after the discovery of the site, I received a call from the archaeological team asking me to assist in the investigation. But I refused, because," Li Yong interrupted as soon as he said this: "Because the money they give is too little, right?"

"You kid really don't want to go, right, I won't take you there if you do it again, huh. "Captain Hao was a little angry by these two people at the same time.

Li Yonggang wanted to answer Song Yixing, but interrupted him and said, "Captain Hao, you can take us there! I am really in a hurry, and the problem of money is easy to say." ”

Captain Hao said: "I now treat you as brothers, but you tell me about money. I don't want a penny from you, but you're too much, I'm not going. ”

"Okay, okay, we are brothers, you say we are brothers, we are, but brothers are really in a hurry, you won't help it. Song Yixing said.

"It's pretty much the same, I can take you there, but I won't take the rest of the team with me. I have to be responsible for their families. ”

Song Yixing said, "Yes, and you don't have to go into the water with us, just wait for us on the water." ”

"That's nature, I haven't lived enough!"

With that, they took their equipment and headed for Spratly Island.

In the evening, the setting sun stained half of the sky red, and a white speedboat galloped south. The crimson sunset is reflected on the surface of the sea. Where the setting sun meets the sparkling waves, a small island suddenly appears in the center, like jasper embedded in red agate.

However, in such a seemingly flawless and beautiful place, how much blood and rain are buried. How many heroes are buried in the ground.

The three of them parked the boat in a sheltered place, and got out of the boat and found a place to stay.

The island is not big, there are seven or eight houses on it, and because of the strong wind, the houses are not very high. So where they live is not together.

Ever since Song Yixing came to this island, he found that from time to time someone would stare at him in the dark, and when he looked back, he would disappear. This made him feel very uncomfortable, and he unconsciously thought about the bead, whether the bead would really attract something ominous.

He looked out the window from the window in his room, and found a figure in a long white dress staring at his room. This time, he finally made up his mind to find out if it was a human or a ghost who was secretly spying on him.

Song Yixing pretended to lie on the bed, covered the quilt and turned off the light. After a few minutes he quietly got out of bed, went out of the room, gently closed the door, walked along the road to the other side of the window, and lay down on the trunk of a tree.

After a while, a beautiful figure appeared on the other side of the bushes, quietly looking into the window.

Song Yixing looked at the figure and suddenly froze. I thought to myself: "Xue'er, why is she here, didn't she let her watch the house at home?" Seeing who that person was, he didn't rush out, but followed her quietly, wanting to see what she wanted to do.

Ni Xue'er came to his window and looked inside, but it was empty, and the bed was empty.

Just when she felt strange, she suddenly felt someone tap her on the shoulder from behind, she looked back but didn't see anyone, and then looked carefully a few times to confirm that there was no one, and thought it was an illusion. Then look inside again.

At this time, someone patted her on the back, and when she turned around, she saw a face facing her, with a wide mouth and long exposed snow-white teeth, and a long "whoop" in her mouth.

Frightened, she let out a scream of "wow", squatted on the ground with her head in her hands, only to hear the man laugh and say, "You still want to scare me!" She slowly lowered her hand and looked up at the man. I saw Song Yixing laughing at her.

As soon as she saw Song Yixing's appearance, she suddenly burst into anger, she stood up, smiled at Song Yixing, and then reported him. Biting his shoulder, Song Yixing, who was in pain, screamed, "Ah! It hurts, I'm begging for mercy, it's okay, let go, let go, let go." ”

"Now that you know that you are begging for mercy, why didn't you think of the consequences when you scared me. ”

"I'm using the way of others to control others, if you don't follow me first, will I scare you?"

"Aren't people worried about you, so they want to take a look at you, but your kindness is treated by you as a donkey's liver and lungs. ”

"Why did you come here, didn't you get you home?"

Ni Xue'er said: "This is not your house, why can't I come." ”

"This is not the place to talk, come into the house. ”

Entering the house, Song Yixing said, "This is very dangerous, you will go back tomorrow"

"If I don't go back, I haven't had enough of it. Ni Xue'er was silent for a moment and then continued: "If you have to let me go back, that's fine, but you have to tell me why you have to go and check every Atlantis ruin, otherwise you don't have to talk about anything else." ”

"Okay, then I'll tell you!" Song Yixing told her everything about this.

"Why are you telling me now?"

"I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you would stop me, but now I'm afraid you're going to go on an adventure with me. And that's not what I want to see. ”

"I understand you, and if it were me, I would choose to be like you. Since you've told me, I'll go back tomorrow, but you'll have to be safe. ”

"Then I'll send you back, rest early, and I'll send you away tomorrow morning. ”

"Let me stay here for the night, okay?" said Ni Xue'er with a red face.

Song Yixing held back a wicked smile and said: "Lonely men and widows, I'm afraid this is not good!"

"What's so bad, it's all adults. ”

"Didn't you tempt me to sin?"

"I'm still very relieved about my man's concentration, if I don't even have this concentration, then I misjudged you," Ni Xueer said playfully.

"The true nature of a man, how can a person fight against human nature!So~~"

"If you dare to touch me, you can try," he said, with a sneer on his face.

Song Yixing shuddered when he saw it, and swallowed all his thoughts back into his stomach.
