Everyone in the world has their own interests, some like gold and silver, some love fame and wealth, some love beauty rather than country, and some just want to be peaceful in the countryside. What Xiaoeilai loves most is all kinds of strange things in the world.
The first treasure at the opening of the Yibao Conference attracted this extremely greedy little treasurer. The boy's eyes were filled with a gleaming light. He stared at the exquisite and ingenious artifact and exclaimed: "What a good thing. Uncle, have you seen it? The dagger polished with sapphire is not as hard as diamond in the world. This sapphire is only inferior to diamond." Diamond can actually be polished to look like a sword, and the handle is made of killer whale teeth. This kind of craftsmanship is very rare."
"If you are so startled again, get out of here and stay for a while." Li Muye said angrily: "You have been with me for so long, haven't you seen anything better than this piece of shit? You can't even see it now. It's so shallow that you can't pretend to urinate. Is it really embarrassing for me?"
The little evil boy didn't dare to openly confront him. He lowered his head and muttered, "I've never heard of anyone with deep eyelids that can hold a drop of urine."
Huo Ze laughed and said, "Children like those exaggerated things."
"I like it too, but it's a pity that I don't have the money to buy it." Li Muye curled his lips and said angrily.
Huo Ze said: "What happened last time is not much worse than my loss. It seems that your vitality has been greatly damaged. Otherwise, how could a mere 80 million U.S. dollars pose an obstacle to the founder of Makino Group? But don't be discouraged. I really like something." You can also exchange it for something. The rule here is that as long as the treasure owner approves, you can exchange it for something with a stone, no problem, but you need to pay an agency fee of one million US dollars after completing the transaction."
"This business is really profitable." Li Muye said: "The people in Xiaoyao Pavilion are so good at playing. No matter whether others are satisfied or dissatisfied with the transaction, he first makes sure to make money without losing money."
Someone below walked into the venue, and it seemed that he was ready to exchange something. This man was holding a glass jar, which looked very ordinary. There was a dark object inside, which looked like a stone and a nut. Leave it to Taoist Yi Tongtian among them.
The woman in red came forward again and started communicating with the man. The two whispered, but Yi Tongtian did not interfere. Others only saw the two people chatting with each other, and the woman kept shaking her head, seemingly refusing. The man kept talking and gesticulating with his hands.
Huo Ze looked at the glass jar and said, "This is an interesting thing."
Li Muye had long been curious about what that thing was, and hurriedly asked: "Old Huo, can you tell what that little black bean is?"
"That's called a floating boat fruit." Huo Ze said: "It is the seed of a marine plant. The advantage of this fruit is that it can float on the sea and grow freely. Once it sprouts, it will grow at an alarming rate. As long as there is enough fertilizer to nourish it, It can grow into a mobile island within ten years, which is a rare and rare thing."
"What did this person think when such a rare thing was exchanged for a knife worth 80 million US dollars?" Li Muye suddenly felt pity. Then I thought, if this thing can grow infinitely, wouldn't it be able to grow into a landmass if it lasts forever
"Don't think about good things." Huo Ze said: "This floating boat fruit has very high requirements for the growing environment. It can only grow between the Coral Sea and the Solomon Sea south of the equator. Legend has it that this fruit is the result of King Solomon's perception that the world will inevitably change. It was destroyed, so he begged God before he died. However, after King Solomon died, the person who got this fruit could not plant it at all to save the floating boat island in the doomsday, and tried all methods to no avail. In the end, he had to throw it away as if it did not exist. .”
The little evil came and asked: "Then how do you know that this fruit can be grown in the Solomon Sea south of the equator?"
"There is a floating nation on the Solomon Sea called the Haibaya people. People of this nation learned to swim before they learned to walk. They can maintain good eyesight underwater and inherit secret techniques to control and lower themselves. heart rate, thereby controlling their own oxygen consumption. Therefore, they can stay underwater for a long time, often twice as long as ordinary people, or even more. The Haibaya people are nomadic at sea and have a common hometown. It’s just a floating fruit island.”
Huo Ze said: "The Haibaya people have no nationality and do not hold passports from any country. They call the sea their home and eat fish as their staple food. They hunt on the sea all year round, but every year in mid-July they return to their mysterious hometown. Going there is just like our New Year reunion, and I think this person is from the Haibaya tribe."
Xiao Evilai was a little doubtful: "How did you tell?"
Huo Ze said: "Because diving is a daily necessity, the Haibaya people have intentionally ruptured their eardrums since childhood to adapt to the pressure of sea water. Their hearing is very poor, but they boast that they have the ears of gods, so when they grow up, they will I got a fake ear tattooed under my ear to make my ears look bigger.”
"It's really like this." Xiao Evilai said after careful observation: "This floating boat fruit is so magical and so important to the Haibaya people. Why would he just use it to exchange for a knife?"
Li Muye said: "Maybe this person no longer wants to be a Haibaya man, maybe he has a problem that can only be solved with this knife."
The woman in red bargained with the Haibaya man and rejected him. The man was extremely disappointed and returned to his seat very lonely holding the glass jar.
Xiao Evil came and said: "Uncle, let's exchange that knife and give it to the Haibaya man. I think he must have something very important that needs the sapphire dagger, so he would use such a precious thing." Change it, but it’s a pity that the woman in red doesn’t know the goods.”
"She doesn't know the goods, but there are people who know the goods. It's probably not our turn."
As soon as Li Muye finished speaking, there was movement in the box where Schroeder was. A man dressed as an attendant walked to the auction booth with a plate and handed it to Yi Tongtian. It was a square metal object, silver-white, and you couldn't tell what kind of treasure it was just from its appearance.
The woman in red returned to the booth and only had a brief exchange with the attendant before readily agreeing to the exchange. After getting the sapphire dagger, the attendant immediately found the Haibaya man and directly replaced the floating boat fruit in the glass jar.
Huo Ze said: "This old fox moves really fast. He has a private island in the South Atlantic. It seems to be called Tristan. He specializes in some evil and ulterior scientific research. The climate and environment there are quite suitable for this floating fruit." Yes, the thing he took out seems to be some kind of sacred object from the ancient Egyptian tribe."
Know yourself and your enemy and you will never be in danger. As expected, the person who knows you best is often your enemy. The hatred between Huo Ze and Schroeder is as deep as the sea. They have been plotting against each other for many years. They have already known each other's details clearly.
The second lot came next, and it was a black stone tower. However, the seven-level pagoda, which was two feet high, was placed on a shelf and carried up by four people.
Huo Ze praised it as soon as he saw it: "Good stuff, those bald donkeys in the Southern Himalayan Rat Temple may not be able to sit still."
The little evil came out of nowhere and asked, "Mr. Huo, do you recognize this black tower?"
"This is called the Holy Buddha. It is a treasure from Hinduism. It is said to be polished and carved from meteorites. It was later taken to Europe by the British. The Hindus believe that this thing has sacred power and can help believers communicate with God Shiva." Huo Ze said : "When I went to the Southern Himalayas to ask Gudjanan about the seven-chakra yoga technique, I saw this thing on the mural when I visited the Rat Temple."
Li Muye asked: "Why is it called the Mouse Temple?"
"This is just the name I gave to Bald Donkey's kennel." Huo Ze said: "Those Hindu thieves and monks love food and are lazy. They are so rich that when they have nothing to do, they raise many big rats in the temple and feed them with milk every day. .”
"Raising rats in the temple?" Xiao Eilai looked suspicious.
"What's so weird about raising rats? Those thieving monks also raise women. What kind of temple dancers are they called? They claim to the outside world that they are married to the gods and become the maids of the gods. In fact, they are the sexual wives of the thieving monks." Huo Ze said: "I have traveled all over the world in my life, and I have seen a lot of weird things. In terms of perversion, no one is more perverted than these Indian guys."
Li Muye actually wanted to say that your city that never sleeps is morbid enough. When the words came to his lips, he finally swallowed them in line with the principle of not criticizing others.
The little evil came and said, "How can a monk practice such a thing? There is a branch of Ciyun Temple under Baiyuntang. Those who believe in Mahayana Buddhism are all virtuous men with devout faith and profound morals. I heard what my grandfather Yang Qiansui said , the origin of Buddhism is actually closely related to Hinduism, and there are many similarities between each other’s teachings.”
"What Lao Huo said about this matter is indeed true." Li Muye took over the topic and said: "According to the records in the 'Records of China and India' written by ancient Arab travelers, there is a kind of holy prostitute in India, called ' The Prostitute of the Gods: If a woman makes a wish in advance, then when she gives birth to a beautiful girl, she must take her daughter to the gods and dedicate her to the gods."
"Then what?" Xiao Eilai asked curiously.
"After that, the mother will have to find a house for her in the market, hang up colorful curtains, let her sit on a chair, and wait for visitors, whether they are Indians or foreigners, if the teachings of their religion can be If this kind of behavior is allowed, you can play with her by paying a reward. This woman makes a living by sending the money she saves to the abbot of the temple as a way to fund the temple."
The little boy's sense of justice is always very cheap. When he heard this, he couldn't help but get angry and said: "I thought all the temples were full of eminent monks, but I never thought that there are such shameless thief monks in the world! I met him , I must twist off the bald heads one by one and use them as footballs.”
Li Muye said: "There are all kinds of wonders in the world, how can this be the case?"
The treasure owner is an Australian, with dark brown hair and a blond beard. He is tall and fat. He walked slowly to the booth and wrote down the auction amount before walking back to his seat.
The thing is passed down from ancestors. The white Australians are the descendants of prisoners who were exiled from the British Peninsula. Most of their ancestors were thieves, gangsters, violent criminals and rapists. This treasure was stolen from the private museum of a manor in England by the ancestors of the owner.
Yi Tongtian announced the origin and starting price of the treasure in public, and then entered the treasure exchange process.
Suddenly three people were interested in this object, namely the representative of the Fukang Temple in Japan, the monk representative of the Rajasthan Temple in India, and the representative of the Russian Orthodox Ecumenical Holy Alliance. What surprised Li Muye was that the person sent by the Orthodox Ecumenical Holy Alliance actually It's Petrovich of the Tire Gang.
The representative of Fukang Temple is called Rixin monk. He plans to exchange a black box, and the Indian monk is more interesting. They first hope that the people in Xiaoyao Pavilion can uphold justice and let the owner of the treasure return the sacred objects in the temple free of charge. They decided after being rejected. In exchange for a piece of Buddha-grade ivory carving; the last one was Petrovich, who brought a long sword, a typical medieval two-handed sword, very sharply polished, with nineteen gems inlaid on the gold handle. It has a catchy name: Justice Judgment.
After careful consideration, the Australians finally decided not to accept the exchange and entered the auction process.
Contrary to Li Muye's expectation, the wealthy Orthodox Ecumenical Holy Alliance did not bid. The bidding started between the two temples, ranging from 100 million U.S. dollars to an astonishing price of 350 million U.S. dollars. In the end, it was the Japanese with greater financial resources who won the bid. won.
The Australians happily accepted the bank transfer, while the Japanese were content to get what they wanted.
The next item to be auctioned was the black box brought by Fukang Temple, called the Book of Ecclesiastes. When Yi Daoren introduced it, he specifically added that this object was accidentally obtained by a Japanese general in Burma during World War II. No one has been able to open it so far. Hebrew historians who have seen this object believe that Solomon is hidden in this box. The secret art of getting to know and communicate with God, if opened rashly, will bring disaster. It must be opened in the correct way to gain true knowledge.
With this explanation from the Yi Dao people, it doesn’t take a very knowledgeable person to realize the preciousness of this object. This is a sacred object of the Jews. In today’s world, is there any circle with greater potential than the Jewish circle? Finally, Daoren Yi read out the starting price, $500 million! Everyone was in an uproar, and even the Australian from before was a little annoyed.
King Solomon is considered by Western historians to be the greatest king in the history of the Jewish nation and one of the most legendary monarchs in the world. It is said that he is also an excellent demon summoner. It is rumored in the archaeological community that he once wrote down all the incantations he summoned, which he called the 'Solomon Key'. In Hebrew legend, Solomon had the ability to communicate and dialogue with the kingdom of God. And no one knows what the key he left behind looks like.
There are four Hebrew verses engraved on the black box, which are: Where the heart is, there is the treasure; One word of rebuke is better to penetrate into the heart of a wise person than a hundred smites for a fool. The heart of destruction is preceded by pride and honor. Before, there must be humility; vanity, vanity, vanity, vanity, everything is vanity. There is nothing new under the sun, everything is catching wind, everything is catching shadow; everything will become a thing of the past. What do you gain when all is said and done
Yi Daoren deliberately highlighted the origin of the black box. In fact, in the legend of King Solomon, there was a romantic affair with the Queen of Sheba. Later, the queen gave birth to their son on her way back to the country. King Solomon loved the Queen of Sheba deeply. He gave her one of his most important treasures. The Queen of Sheba's country is located in the area between South Asia and Central Asia. When it was the most powerful, it probably reached Myanmar.
Huo Ze was very knowledgeable and feared that Li Muye and Xiao Evil would not understand the key, so he told these historical anecdotes to let them understand the extraordinary origin of this object.
When Xiao Eilai heard the price, he immediately stuck out his tongue and sighed in admiration.
"Not all the goods in this Yibao Conference are genuine. The people in Xiaoyao Pavilion are not responsible for the authenticity. Many things look very similar, but they are not worthy of the name." Huo Ze said, "So you don't need to see a Just make a fuss over something."
Li Muye was a little skeptical. Is anyone really willing to spend such a huge sum of money to buy this old wooden box? It is said that it contains the secret technique of communicating with gods. Which god can it communicate with? Is there really such a lunatic in this world who would risk such a large sum of money for something that has no consequences
There was movement in Schroeder's box again, and the same waiter from before brought out a plate. This time, there was a scroll of bronze engravings titled: Hand-painted by Xu Fu, Scenery of the Mountains and Rivers of Kyushu. The painting is a landscape map of Kyushu in China during the pre-Qin period. It describes the flora and fauna of the pre-Qin period and the trends of the mountains and rivers on the land.
This thing is unknown in China, but it is an incomparable and priceless treasure in Japan.
The Xu family with the surname Ying was originally from Langya County, Qi Prefecture. According to legend, this person is a close disciple of Mr. Guiguzi. Learn bigu, qigong, immortality, and martial arts. He is erudite and knowledgeable about medicine, astronomy, navigation and other knowledge. He is sympathetic to the people and willing to help others, so he has a high reputation among the people along the coast. When he came out of the mountain, it was around the time when Qin Shihuang ascended the throne and Li Si's era. Later, he was sent by Qin Shihuang to go to the sea to collect fairy medicine, and never returned.
Xu Fu actually went to Japan, where he was revered as Emperor Jimmu. Nowadays, people in Japan have built temples to worship him. Many Japanese people even publicly claim that they are descendants of Xu Fu, and have left family genealogy of the Xu family for reading. There are many shrines, temples and mausoleums dedicated to Xu Fu in Xingung City, Wakasan County, Japan. On the steep cliff of Jeongbang Waterfall in Jeju Island, there is a Qi State sword inscription "Qi Chen Xu Shi moved the king to pass over" suspected to be an ancient seal script.
The "Xu Fu Ancient Questioning Field" in the collection of the Miyashita Yoshitaka family in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture contains quite detailed records of the family history of Xu Fu's descendants in Japan.
At the time of the seventh Emperor Xiaorei of Japan, Xu Fu crossed over to the Japan Islands and successively arrived at Tsukushi, Nandao, and Mount Fuji. Xu Fu changed his seven sons to Japanese surnames, the eldest son was named Fukuoka, the second son was named Fukushima, the third son was named Fukuyama, the fourth son was named Futian, the fifth son was named Fukuhata, the sixth son was named Fuhai, and the seventh son was named Fuzhu, and then he sent them to the seventh son respectively. place. From then on, Xu Fu's descendants spread all over Japan and gradually multiplied. Xu Fu called himself Xu Fu of Qin. The Qin surnames of later generations or the surnames and place names with the characters such as Fu, Haneda, Botian, Hata, Hata, and Hatake are all related to the descendants of Xu Fu or the descendants of the Qin people who traveled eastward with Xu Fu.
In the eyes of the Japanese, the status of Emperor Jimmu Xu Fu is definitely not inferior to that of King Solomon in the eyes of the Hebrews.
Xiaoyao Pavilion and Japanese Shintoism have been in contact for hundreds of years since the Yuan Dynasty, and they have long been in the same spirit. The respected originator of Shintoism is Xu Fu. Liu Changfeng, as the previous Pavilion Master of Xiaoyao Pavilion and a master of learning about heaven and man, had recorded these past miscellaneous events in detail in his manuscripts. Li Muye read many classics while waiting on the isolated island, and he happened to have read this paragraph.
The thing is a good thing, but the key is that it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity. This is the case both ways. The old monk of Fukang Temple did not immediately refuse the exchange request, but first carefully unfolded the bronze scroll brought by Schroeder's laboratory. The people at the Schroeder Laboratory just used an electronic device to scan and inspect the black wooden box.
Both parties were quite satisfied after checking it out, which can be seen from their speech, actions and expressions. But just when they were about to conclude the deal, someone in another box suddenly said in Chinese: "Please wait a moment, we also want to exchange this treasure."
The trading in the market was suspended, and a blond woman with blue eyes walked out of the box and walked straight to Yi Tongtian. Yi Daoren asked: "Ms. Victoria, what treasures are you going to use in exchange?"
Victoria said: "Servant, I have brought a woman. If anyone wants to get her, they must meet my only condition, which is this book of Ecclesiastes..."
Li Muye couldn't help but be very curious after hearing this: What kind of alluring woman could be worth such a high price? (End of chapter)
