Chapter 456 The old clam swallows coral pearls

Three days later, Zhang Xiuxian came back with his people, and through Lu Guangcheng's relationship, he got a boat. The boat was an old diesel engine boat that made a very loud noise.

Zhang Xiuxian claimed to claim credit, saying that the world has been too chaotic recently, and supplies are extremely scarce. In many places, people have been killed in the fields. The situation at home and abroad is extremely complicated. The Japanese invaded in the north, and Chiang Kai-shek in the south has no intention of resisting Japan.

This policy of internal security has aroused the dissatisfaction of a group of passionate people. When the country's life and death are at stake, they still think of the way of courtesy first and then fighting. It is really infuriating.

Feng Qing didn't want to delay for a moment and immediately went out to sea. Zhang Chaoyang had no choice but to inform the people of Longgu Village and followed him into the sea.

It happened to be night time, and with the sound of a huge diesel engine, the four people sailed toward the sea.

Zhang Xiuxian brought a lot of supplies and pulled a full boat. Lu Guangcheng still had some connections. In this regard, he had a wide network of contacts.

Feng Yu saw several sets of diving equipment on the boat, including diving suits, oxygen bottles, etc. His water resistance was not good, so these things must be used.

Zhang Xiuxian pointed at those things and proudly showed off to Feng Yu, "How about it, brother, I spent a lot of effort to get these, this thing can definitely be used."

Feng Yu nodded, Zhang Xiuxian is a bold and careful person, and he is more reliable in doing things.

"I said, considering Ya'er's hard work, if you get the treasure, you have to have my share."

Feng Yu only thought about Zhang Xiuxian's kindness in front of him, but he changed back to his original state in the back. People die for money and birds die for food. This is the truth left by the ancients, but Zhang Xiuxian has also made a lot of money these few times.

The sea was very calm, and the moon was as bright as a mirror. Looking around, the sea was endless. Feng Qing and Zhang Chaoyang stood at the bow of the ship. Zhang Xiuxian's ship was sailing very steadily. He was a spy and had basically all kinds of skills. In his own words

Said, not to mention flying a ship, even flying a plane is not a problem.

Feng Yu cooked something to eat in the cabin. The ship was sailing without knowing where it was going. They were sailing aimlessly on the sea. It was not easy to find the water veins under the sea.

Zhang Chaoyang and Feng Qing talked about a strange thing he encountered many years ago at the bow of the boat. There is a saying that a big fish in the sea will overturn a boat. People who have experienced it will have different feelings.

, as the saying goes, "There are obstacles in the road, and there are fish in the water that can swallow the boat."

To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is very magical. The big fish from the bottom of the sea will suddenly appear, like a demon, and keep pushing the boat under the water until it overturns.

When Zhang Chaoyang was in his twenties, he went out to sea with sea people to fish for pearls, and encountered him once, and almost everyone died in the sea.

That time Zhang Chaoyang and the others came back with a full load of pearls. Pearls are good things and are of high value. That time

, they collected a boatload full of pearls and encountered such a situation when they returned.

Zhang Chaoyang said that the fish under the sea was so big that it was indescribable. It could be measured in kilograms and meters. He had never seen that fish before. It looked like an ancient fish species that could only be found in ancient books. Some sea dwellers believed in the sea god.

This is the messenger of the sea who came to collect the goods from the sea. On their ship, they picked up things that do not belong to this world.

Then, a mountain appeared in the middle of the sea, lying in front of them. They thought it was a strange sight, so they all stood on the side of the ship and looked around.

The sensible people were already packing their things and preparing to flee. Zhang Chaoyang was young and had never seen the world, so he stayed in place looking at such a scene. An older man who was traveling with him had packed up his food, pulled Zhang Chaoyang and jumped without saying a word.

Got the boat.

There are mountains and rocks standing in the sea. How can there be solitary mountains in the vast ocean? The extremes of things must be reversed. When the people on the boat did not react and were suspicious, several huge rocks suddenly appeared again. After a while, countless rocks rose from the sea.

That was not a surge, but a huge fish in the sea, and the huge rock exposed was the back of the fish.

There were swarms of big fish, and huge waves soon arose. The boat capsized instantly, and the people on top were thrown a long way away. Fortunately, Zhang Chaoyang was helped by a fellow traveler, and they jumped out of the boat early and saved their lives.

All the beads on the boat disappeared into the sea. After escaping from death, the sea calmed down again and the big fish disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Chaoyang and others drifted at sea for several days. The man who saved his life lost blood and died in the sea. He was rescued by a fishing boat and barely survived. From then on, Zhang Chaoyang never followed him to the deep sea to fish for pearls.

.

Years later, in retrospect, his experience told him that the big fish might be related to the mirage in the West. He had researched that the deep sea they went to was called a coral reef, which was a huge coral jungle. There was something deep underneath.

The bottomed out whirlpool is surrounded by several intersecting ocean current zones. The winds are high and the waves are strong, and it is usually quiet and unusually quiet. Once the wind blows, the waves can rise more than ten meters high. No ship passing through this place will be spared.

However, this coral bush is rich in pearls. It is said that every time the moon is full, the old clam in the sea will swallow the essence of the sun and the moon. His pearls have grown for thousands of years, and after absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, they will emit dazzling sea light.

This is the best time for fishermen to go fishing in the sea. This is undoubtedly one of the ways to get rich, but dangers also exist. In addition to the potential danger of being close to the ocean current zone, there is also the concern of being haunted in the sea.

Most of the fishermen who come here to salvage old clams are desperadoes. The ghosts of the sunken ships in the past are still lingering and will turn into water ghosts to drag people away. Even the most experienced fishermen will let their tentacles fall if they are not careful.

He got tangled up in coral and drowned.

As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer pearl divers. In fact, they are the same as thieves.

Grave robbers are just like craftsmen at sea. Pearl divers who have entered the industry are as particular as tomb robbers. They dive into the water with stones and bamboo poles, find the old clams, and use the stones and bamboo poles in their hands to skillfully

Replace the pearls inside without any delay. Once the old clam notices it, it will be trapped in the clam.

Countless pearl divers from ancient times to the present have died in it. They know that what they do is a business of near death. Even if they can escape from the old clam, they will still encounter all kinds of vicious fish in the deep sea. The only thing on the boat is that the rope is broken.

People will not waste time searching for it and let pearl divers be buried in the sea.

The nobleness of people is like this. If you succeed in fishing for pearls and get rich overnight, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. But if people's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants, it won't take long for a pearl fisher to think about picking again after he gets rich.

Very few pearl divers can come back alive several times. In addition to danger, they mostly rely on luck. The survival rate in this industry is horribly low, which is really not easy. Even so, these poor pearl divers still continue to work hard and spend a lot of money.

There must be brave men below, this is exactly what they say.

Although Zhang Chaoyang found old clam pearls that time, the Dragon King did not let them take them away. The person who rescued Zhang Chaoyang was a second time pearl fisher, but in the end he still could not leave alive.

Many years have passed, but the mention of it is still vivid in my mind. If you rely on the sea to eat the sea, someone will always die. This has been the case for thousands of years. If you want to go into the sea to retrieve pearls, you have to face this cruel fact.

Zhang Xiuxian was driving the boat, and after listening to Zhang Chaoyang's narration, he also joined in.

"I said, Uncle Zhang, this story sounds very thrilling. If we want to find the water veins on the seabed, shouldn't we go to the coral jungle? You are a man with skills and experience, and with my boat

With the equipment, it is not difficult to find two beads. It used to be purely luck, but it is different now. If you really go to that place, you will get nothing if you don’t get it. Think about it, the future of Longgu Village will depend on it, right?

?”

Zhang Chaoyang glanced at a few people sternly, and cursed: "Going to the sea to get pearls is not child's play. It is complicated under the sea. I am not just talking in vain. Even if Lord Feng is here, it will not help." He paused and said: "It's not Feng.

My abilities are not good, it’s just that the ones in the sea are different from those in the soil. In sea water, it’s difficult to display your abilities no matter how high they are.”

Feng Yu agreed with this, but Zhang Xiuxian was not happy. He was thinking about the treasure, and the ship and supplies that he had spent a lot of effort to obtain must not return empty-handed. He hesitantly fanned the flames on the side.

"I think Ya'er is just not very good at it. It's not like I haven't heard of pearl divers before. There are many people who have managed to pick up more than ten beads. What they rely on is not simply luck. As the old saying goes,

People are heroes, money is courage, there is no profit, how can people succeed once and twice? There must be some skill involved."
