Two hundred and forty-seven chapters, golden bowl for alms
Chapter 247, Golden Bowl Alchemy
This golden bowl may be a daily use item or a precious collection of an important merchant on the ship. It has been sleeping on the bottom of the sea for more than three hundred years, but was accidentally picked up by a traveler. A closer look revealed that it was not something from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
, the dating can be pushed back eight hundred years, and it should be a tribute produced in the Runzhou area during the Tang Dynasty. It is the most precious and dazzling piece of all the artifacts fished out.
On the afternoon of the third day, You Fang had collected more than three taels of Nether Realm soil, and with the addition of the glazed bead sunk at the bottom of the sea, he had "exceeded" his mission. Let's look at what everyone fished from the bottom of the sea.
Compared with the second day, there are fewer and fewer people, and the water is mainly for games.
The scope of their search was only near the sunken ship, concentrated on the stern side, and they were just scattered artifacts discovered by the movement of spiritual consciousness in the water. With so many experts in the water for three days, I am afraid that nothing could be missed. Seeing this scene, the tourists said to Liu Xiyan
The others said: "We have been wasted here for a long time, and all of you have basically mastered the art of using your spiritual consciousness to sense physical properties underwater. There is no point in continuing to refine it here. It's time to leave."
Everyone was in high spirits and somewhat reluctant to give up, watching the ship weigh anchor and leave this place. The next stop was to return to the island where they had been in danger, and help Senior Rand retrieve the lost sword. If everything went well, they would directly turn around and head south.
What are they doing to investigate Mike Bush and the scientific expedition team he is leading in the South China Sea?
The voyage is not too far and we will arrive tomorrow morning, so we are not in a hurry. After dinner that day, a "treasure appraisal" meeting was held in the restaurant. Everyone fished out the almost complete artifacts from the sea, a total of two hundred
The rest of the items were professionally cleaned by the tour company and placed on several large tables in a dazzling display, which was no less than a small thematic exhibition of porcelain cultural relics.
Do you think it's a lot? Don't forget that the original ship contained a total of between 40 and 500,000 pieces of porcelain. These are just remnants scattered on the seabed. If these people hadn't taken action today, I'm afraid no divers would have been able to fish them out.
Cang Lan asked You Fang quietly: "Everyone is very happy these days and has gained a lot. What do you think should be done with these artifacts fished out of the sea?"
You Fang smiled and said, "You can do whatever you want with the Xiaosha faction."
Cang Lan quickly waved her hand: "This time we go to sea, Mr. Rand is taking care of everything. In the past few days, you have also taught us how to nourish the body and spirit, temper the consciousness, and enjoy the pleasure of swimming. These are just the utensils that I brought along, I'm afraid.
Except for such opportunities, no one in the world can retrieve them. Do they need to be packed and stored, and Mr. Rand can take them back and dispose of them?"
You Fang glanced at her, then looked at these things, and suddenly asked: "I heard that there is also a Hainan porcelain market, right?"
Cang Lan: "Yes, private transactions have been very popular in recent years, but it is difficult for ordinary people to tell the authenticity. High-end ancient porcelain obtained from the sea looks as good as new."
You Fang: "I heard that there is also a Maritime Silk Road Museum, and the main collection is sea-harvested porcelain."
Cang Lan nodded: "There is such a museum."
You Fang pointed at these things and said: "Since I have to deal with it, we can't go in vain. Each of us should choose one of the things here as a souvenir of this trip. As for the remaining utensils and the ones Niu Jinquan picked up,
Please give the broken porcelain pieces to the museum, what do you think?"
Liu Xiyan heard their conversation and quickly said loudly: "This is the best way to deal with it. Each of the colleagues present will take one as a souvenir. The remaining utensils and fragments will be transferred to the cultural relics by our Disposal Party according to Mr. Rand's wishes."
department."
The people present here are not greedy for these things in the sea. They mainly want to master this method of tempering spiritual consciousness and also have fun diving. However, if you don’t pay attention to something, you will inevitably regret it. When Liu Xiyan said this, of course they all agreed. Continue
Come down and pick something. Each person can take one as he pleases. Of course, pick the most beautiful, exquisite and favorite things.
Xiang Yinghua wanted to take the unique and elegant glazed red teapot, which You Fang fished out of the sea twice with the lid on. Cang Lan also wanted to take this one, and both of them discovered the other's.
No one reached out for a while, but Li Yongjun took it away and had to look at each other and smile.
Niu Jinquan was a down-to-earth person, and he didn't reach out at first. He just said that he already had the pastel tea cup as a souvenir. In the end, Murong Chunming grabbed his arm and pointed to a light crimson color pen holder that he had salvaged and said
: "What do you think? Doesn't this look good?"
Niu Jinquan laughed dryly and took the pen holder away. Everyone had finished picking out their favorite utensils. Xiang Yinghua still had his hands empty and pulled You Fang's sleeve and said, "Rand, help me choose one.
"
You Fang reached out to pick up the golden bowl, but Xiang Yinghua pulled up his sleeve and whispered: "Well, it's not that one. Choose another one."
You Fang stretched out his hand to grab the eight-sided white porcelain rouge box that Li Yongjun had picked up. When he saw Xiang Yinghua, he pouted slightly and turned his hand to hold a blue and white wine flask with a pattern of flying bats, cuckoos and entwined branches. He turned around and asked: "
Yinghua, do you drink?"
Xiang Yinghua covered his mouth and smiled and said, "Okay, this is it. I'll drink with you."
After everyone had finished picking things, You Fang found that no one had touched the most precious and eye-catching golden bowl. Even Xiang Yinghua didn't want it just now. It was obviously left for him. You Fang didn't need to be polite.
He took it, held the bowl in one hand and made a circle in front of everyone, saying: "People often say that begging for food with a golden bowl is a joke, but they don't know that begging for food with a golden bowl shows respect. You can ask for whatever you hold! If life is hard in the future, I will take it.
This golden bowl will go to your homes to beat the autumn breeze."
Everyone laughed and said one after another: "If Mr. Rand comes to the door, how dare you not greet him respectfully? ... If you have anything to say, please speak!"
Everyone was happy while laughing, and Liu Xiyan ordered people to put away the remaining utensils, carefully pack them and take them back. You Fang said that if you leave it to the Xiaosha Sect, you just leave it to them. As for whether the Xiaosha Sect will do as he said,
He no longer paid attention to it.
The atmosphere tonight was very lively, and no one was in a hurry to go back to the cabin. They were still sitting at the table in groups of three or three, playing with the ancient porcelain they had chosen, while drinking tea and chatting. Liu Xiyan remembered the business and specifically said: "I have inquired about it in the past few days.
We’re out of Mike Bush’s location, just south of the island we’re going to, about half a day’s sail.”
You Fang: "If we can find out his evil deeds this time, and if he is involved with Wuchong faction or Zhan Modao, if we want to ask questions after we finish the investigation, we can find a way to hand him in together with his belongings."
Li Yongjun snorted and said: "If that's really the case, you can feed the fish!"
You Fang shrugged his shoulders: "Feed the fish? It's too cheap for him! You can't waste things when you make the best use of them. This person should be ruined. It's also a reminder. After all, we are only dealing with the Wu Chong faction, but this kind of people are different from
Things like this still require legal means in the world."
The marine scientific expedition organized by Mike Bush is a semi-official public activity, so it is not difficult to find out the route of their activities. Just investigate the approximate sea area and itinerary and it will be clear. It is said that they will be active at sea for half a month.
As for Yue, You Fang and others are naturally not in a hurry.
The next morning, the ship came to the desolate island marked as Banzhi Reef on the chart. At this time, there was no trace of a fierce battle that had occurred here. As early as a week ago, the sand-eating faction had sent
A small boat came by, retrieved the remains of the two disciples, and put them away. They circled around in the water, but did not find You Fang's sword.
A small dagger sank to the bottom of the sea with the exploding ship. It was too difficult to look for it. If Li Yongjun had hired several deep-sea divers to rent a boat and come here, he would probably have returned in vain. But
There is a unique and indescribable subtle connection between You Fang and Qin Yu. Only when he goes into the water himself can he be sure to accurately find Qin Yu's location.
At about 9:30 in the morning, the tourists changed into their diving suits and prepared to go into the sea. It is very close to the shore. The surge may catch people and hit the rocks at any time. The situation on the seabed is complicated. The diving is more difficult than the sea area of the previous few days.
The danger is much greater, so Liu Xiyan and Cang Lan, two underwater masters, are of course worried and want to go into the sea with them.
Li Yongjun also insisted on going on. She had originally decided to help Mr. Rand find the lost sword no matter what. How could she not go to the sea now that she was there? You Fang wanted to stop it, but Xiang Yinghua quietly nudged her with her elbow.
She glanced at him, silently saying clearly - just let her go down, otherwise she will never feel at ease.
You Fang didn't say anything else, just reminded her to be careful, and then winked at Liu Xiyan. The meaning was very clear, asking the elder who was skilled in water to always pay attention to Li Yongjun in the sea to avoid any accidents.
Only when we got underwater did we realize that this place was not suitable for diving at all, because it was very close to the shore and the seabed had a large drop. The collision between the water flow and the islands and reefs formed very complex turbulence, and the seabed was also filled with undulating reefs and various kinds of growths.
Planting marine algae. Not only is the visibility very poor, but if you are not careful, you can easily be carried by the current and hit the sharp edge of the reef.
I'm afraid no divers would be willing to go into the water here. An accident in such complicated sea conditions would be like seeking death. But to find Qin Yu, we have to dive here close to the seabed among the rocks. These people who dare to come down are very brave, no matter what.
Whether or not Qin Yu can be found, Yu Fang is very grateful for this thoughtfulness.
You Fang had made a special trip to ask Cang Lan for advice on how to operate the Water Spiritual Pivot, and it came in handy at this time. Otherwise, it would be difficult to swim into places with very complicated distribution of currents and rocks. Liu Xiyan followed closely as soon as he got into the water.
She was holding Li Yongjun, running her consciousness to stabilize her figure at all times. It was not like being on the ground in the water, where she didn't exert any force on all sides.
After Li Yongjun got into the water, he understood that it was almost impossible to salvage anything here, let alone an inconspicuous dagger? Ordinary professional divers would not be willing to take this risk. Weaving back and forth among the currents and rocks,
These people are like fish swimming in the water. They seem relaxed and carefree, but in fact they consume a lot of physical energy and spiritual consciousness.
They found the wreckage of the ship, which had been broken into several pieces and scattered in a trench about 60 meters deep, with small ridges formed by underwater reefs on both sides. There was a lot of debris here, and it took a long time to swim back and forth.
Qin Yu was not found either. You Fang took out a seven-obsidian stone. The dark crystal suddenly trembled and emitted colorful light. A pure Yang spirit permeated the surrounding seawater, using it as a spiritual guide to unfold his spirit.
What is consciousness trying to sense?
The bright light in the water caused a small accident. Several fish rushed over along the ocean current. Their spindle-shaped bodies more than a foot long shone with silver light. Their snouts were very pointed, and you could see the sharp ones when you opened their mouths.
Teeth bones, and then the same fish shot towards the swimmer like arrows one after another. He actually alarmed a school of fish!
It was quite scary to encounter this kind of situation underwater. You Fang secretly cursed - I'm rushing to get into the pot!
Cang Lan waved the water thorn and was about to protect You Fang, but You Fang's reaction was faster than hers. She had already taken out the cold cloud crystal with her other hand. The seven-color light converged and was attracted by the cold cloud crystal, spinning into a blur in the water.
The Tai Chi pattern was gray with an undercurrent of water, and the fish rushed nearby and swirled and shot out from another direction. Then the cold cloud crystals trembled, and a gloomy atmosphere filled the air, and the fish seemed to be frightened.
Usually they run away.
Xiang Yinghua was wearing a diving suit, and she didn't know where she was wearing the bracelet, but she could hear a pleasant sound in everyone's consciousness. Then the water spirit and spirit hub spread, and she actually launched a great formation of heavenly secrets underwater, as if there was an invisible force.
The substantial power protected her, You Fang, and Cang Lan who were not far behind.
After swimming along the trench for three times, everyone did not touch much of the things on the bottom of the sea. They tried their best to sense with their spiritual senses, but they could not find the swimmer's sword. Liu Xiyan obviously felt that Li Yongjun was tired, so he hit the three people in front of him while they were swimming back.
He made a gesture, and then everyone slowly returned to the sea together.
Although Qin Yu was not found in the water this time, it was not without gain. Cang Lan recovered Zhan Modao's lost magic weapon-the silver soft whip. Everyone shook their heads and sighed when they saw it. Li Yongjun also found another magic weapon.
One thing is the small Browning pistol that You Fang lost.
The pistol happened to fall on a very conspicuous place on the reef. Li Yongjun saw it and took it up. It had been soaked in the water for less than half a month, and the surface was already covered in rust. The flow of seawater corroded it really hard.
It seems that this gun may not be usable even if it is re-cleaned and maintained.
After lunch, Yu Fang dived again and persuaded Li Yongjun not to go down anymore. Li Yongjun listened to the advice this time. She did feel very tired and exhausted after the morning trip, and it would be a drag if she went down again. There were also people who wanted to go into the water to help.
, but after understanding the specific sea conditions, I consciously did not make trouble.
The afternoon was when the sun was at its best, and the wind started to blow. The wind was not too strong and you could still dive. Liu Xiyan glanced at the distance and said, "Mr. Rand, you have to get into the water as soon as possible. The wind is coming from the southeast."
, there are cirrus clouds on the horizon, and they will get bigger and bigger in another hour.”
You Fang put on the diving suit and went into the water again. Li Yongjun changed into Bao Min, a master of spiritual consciousness. Before going into the water, You Fang whispered a few words to Xiang Yinghua, and Xiang Yinghua said to Liu Xiyan, Cang Lan, Bao Min and others: "Lan
Mr. De's magic weapon may be scattered further along the sea currents, and the search range needs to be expanded. He has his own way to sense it, but the consciousness and thoughts of everyone cannot be disturbed. The four of us divided into four directions and followed him.
Always pay attention to unexpected situations, but don’t get too close.”
After entering the water, You Fang stabilized his body on the seabed and stayed for a while. At that time, the explosion of the ship caused huge air currents and surges, and the ocean currents on the seabed near the shore were very complicated. Qin Yu, who fell on the bow of the ship, might be thrown by the shock wave of the explosion.
He started to follow the current and fell to a farther place. He was sensing the current, just like a fish in the water.
After a while, he turned around and swam in the opposite direction of the trench. The place was densely covered with rocks and cracks. The seabed was nearly a hundred meters deep and surrounded by fluttering seaweed. The other four people carefully protected him.
All around, the water spirit pivot is running to make swimming as easy as possible.
This time, the swimmer did not use crystals, but just spread out his consciousness under the water and swam all the way. Suddenly, his body slowly slowed down and seemed to be stagnant in the sea water. In his consciousness, he heard the singing from the bottom of the sea. It was a myth.
Is the legendary sea monster Seren? No, it's Qin Yu! His consciousness sensed Qin Yu and stimulated each other. It was the sound of swords, but it was like a low chant.
You Fang took out the scroll and slowly shook it along with the water. The scene in front of him changed, as if he had entered a world of freehand ink painting. The mountains and flowing water were extraordinary, and in the distance was the vast sea, with clouds like white mist rolling away.
Qin Yu, wearing a light gauze, rose slowly from the sea, with a pair of bare feet standing on the water. His long skirt seemed to be flying in the wind and dancing in the water. He raised his dark eyes and looked at the swimmer in the distance, as if
There is a hint of resentment.
"Why are you here?" Although she was far away, in the realm of Yuan Shen's mental image, You Fang seemed to hear her voice naturally.
"I feel sorry for you for waiting for so long. I was injured and I can only come to find you now." You Fang waved apologetically, and Qin Yu turned into a sword light and flew towards him. When it fell into his hand, it turned into a short sword.
sword.
The four people around them suddenly shuddered. They felt the cold air coming from the air, carrying an indescribable murderous intent. It was very weak and subtle. It was inspired by Mr. Rand's consciousness. They were not launching an attack at this moment.
, it was a natural moment that appeared. Immediately afterwards, in the crevices of the rocks deep under the sea, algae floated open. There was an undercurrent formed with the movement of spiritual consciousness, and a cold light flew out and fell on Rand.
In the gentleman's hand, Dingqing saw that it was a short sword.
The strange thing is that when this sword fell into Mr. Rand's hand, everyone could hear the chanting of the sword in their souls, and all the murderous intent disappeared, seeming to be a gentle comfort.
After retrieving the magic weapon so smoothly, everyone congratulated Mr. Rand when they returned to the boat. No matter how powerful the sword is, it is still a metal object. It may be rusted after being soaked in the sea for such a long time. It may change after it comes out of the water.
He quickly returned to the cabin to nurse the sword. To his slight surprise, Qin Yu's soul was not damaged at all. It seemed that a trace of pure Yang water could actually protect the sword!
You Fang had already prepared white plain silk and five-color silk thread, re-wrapped the sword hilt, and knotted a new sword tassel for the glazed bead. He hid it at his waist and touched it with his hand. He felt very fulfilled and satisfied.
The indescribable feeling came back again.
So far, everything went smoothly this time. We immediately set sail to the south. We should go meet Mike Bush for a while. We arrived at the predetermined water area at night to ambush. After daybreak, the tourists planned to conduct a surprise attack.
