467. The legend of the ancient temple (1/5)

The beauty of black pearls and gold pearls is still expensive even in the jewelry market where various gems are frequently produced. They are indeed beautiful. Ao Muyang was so moved that he wanted to take them back and raise a batch.

But he kept his mission in mind, and this time he came to buy river clam seedlings.

The price of river clam seedlings is low, but freshwater pearls are of no value, which makes freshwater pearls even lower.

He came to the right place because the profit margin was small, and many pearl farms no longer had freshwater pearl shells. The Beibu Gulf pearl farm is large in scale and still maintains a sufficient number of ethnic groups.

Ao Muyang was embarrassed to learn about this. He tried so hard to entertain them, but he couldn't make any money from them, which was a bit unauthentic.

Only through business cooperation can win-win results last forever.

However, Lu Mengzi didn't care about this. When they visited the breeding farm, he arranged for Assistant Liu to take them to Bailong Town to visit the ruins of Pearl City.

During the ancient feudal dynasty, pearls were mainly contributed to the imperial family.

The Yunwan area is rich in high-quality sea pearls, so dynasties in history have arranged eunuchs in the palace to supervise the collection of pearls here. Whenever high-quality pearls are produced, they must be sent to the palace quickly.

In this way, Pearl City gradually appeared. Of course, due to its scale, it is said that it is a small town, and it has now become a scenic spot.

Pearl City is almost parallel to the breeding farm, more than ten kilometers away, it is also on the beach, and it is on the edge of a cape that breaks into the ocean.

Now Pearl City has become a Pearl City ruins. There are a large number of weathered residual shells on the outside of the site, with yellow and white colors, and are full of magnificence.

Assistant Liu introduced: "In the past, the walls of Pearl City were made of pearl shells and were very strong because many pirates outside the sea coveted the pearls here and they often attacked them."

Ao Muyang asked: "Who destroyed this Pearl City? It shouldn't be a pirate, was it the actions of the Red Guards during the buzzing period?"

Assistant Liu shook his head: "That's not. This place was destroyed by the Japanese. When the Japanese invaded China, they fought here because this place was a place where pearls were cultivated in all dynasties. They plundered the equipment, experts and pearl seedlings together. It is said that even the mud under the sea was scraped away and transported back to Japan at that time."

As he said that, he looked northeast, with an unfair expression on his face: "Hmph, it's a pity that we can't fight now, otherwise we must have a fight with Japan and rob them of everything they plundered! Return all the disasters they have put on us in history!"

Ao Muyang smiled, but he didn't expect that this young man was still an angry young man.

There is an ancient temple in the Pearl City Scenic Area called Liuzhu Temple. There is a big turtle in each of the four corners of the temple. They have suffered damage to varying degrees. The most complete big turtle's head was also broken, and there are four poems written on the stone tablet on its back:

The moon shadows are lonely in the vast sea, and a boat passes by and shouts. How can the boat pass by? I pick the pearls and tears have withered.

Ao Muyang didn't know which poet's masterpiece was. After reading it, he sighed: "It seems that the abbot of the temple is still kind-hearted, and he allows such poems that expose the miserable life of the Beadeds to be written on the monument."

Assistant Liu nodded and said, "The ancient Zhumen was indeed miserable. The more prosperous the Pearl City was, the more blood and tears the Pearl people were... um."

For a moment, he couldn't find a suitable word, so he changed his words: "In the past, when the Zhumin people dived and collected pearls, they would sink to the bottom of the water with their backs on stones. No one could live to the age of thirty because everyone would suffer from diving diseases."

This topic is rather sad. Assistant Liu took them to the temple hall again, pointed to a cave entrance and said, "The graves of some ancient eunuchs are underneath, and now they have become scenic spots. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Ao Muyang shook his head: "What's there to see in the cemetery?"

Assistant Liu said: "There has always been a rumor in our local area that there are multiple natural caves under the Liuzhu Temple. The tombs developed now are only the uppermost layer of the cave. There are some caves down there, which are buried with pearls and other treasures plundered by eunuchs."

Ao Muyang has never been interested in this kind of treasure hunt legend. They also have many legends of shipwreck treasures, but now he has the ability to fly freely in the ocean, but he has never discovered a valuable shipwreck.

The only valuable ship is the Ming Dynasty Fu Ship warship, which is still maintained in the Ocean Museum.

A tourist next to him was interested. After hearing his words, he asked, "Hey, has anyone found the trace of the treasure?"

Assistant Liu shook his head: "It's just a legend. There are indeed many big holes underneath. The bottom of this land has been hollowed out by the waves. The sea water has poured into these holes. Except for the eunuch's tomb on the upper level, the other holes are all sea water and cannot enter."

After Ao Muyang visited here, Assistant Liu took him away.

There were many pearl sellers at the entrance of the scenic area. When they heard that he and Zhong Cang had foreign accents, these people attracted them one after another:

"The young man bought a string of pearl necklaces and brought them to his wife. It looks so beautiful."

"I have a pearl bag here, absolutely authentic. If you are interested, I can give you a real price?"

"Brother, you know you are a rich man as soon as I see it. You must play with jewelry a lot, right? Come and see if I have black pearls here..."

Assistant Liu, who went to the parking lot first, drove back. When he saw the vendors stop Ao Muyang and the others, he shouted: "What are you doing? This is our Beibu Gulf Meng Ge. No one dares to fool you!"

Seeing him come forward, the vendors scattered and then laughed at their stalls.

Ao Muyang got into the car and asked, "Aren't the pearls here real?"

Assistant Liu explained: "It can be said to be a real thing or a fake thing. It is indeed a pearl, but it is all artificially bred defective pearls. They are not worth anything at all. They are specially used to cheat tourists, and they are no different from those things on Taobao."

They returned to the farm and met Lu Mengzi. Lu Mengzi smiled and said, "Brother Xiaoyang, how about digestion and digestion?"

Ao Muyang said: "I ate too much at noon and haven't digested it yet."

Lu Mengzi waved his hand and said, "Then let's go and have a good time, digest it well, there's still a meal tonight."

Ao Muyang: “…”

He returned to the farm and quickly selected river clam seedlings. It was no difficulty. Lu Mengzi would not cheat him. The price he gave him was already very affordable. The 200,000 seedlings were only 22,000.

After choosing seedlings in a hurry, he prepared to retreat. The businessman did not make money. If he kept it for the night, he would have to pay for the money if he wanted to entertain food and drink and stay.

As a result, the weather was not good. It was rare for Hongyang to rain once every six months, and there was plenty of rain here. They had just chosen seedlings to leave, and clouds quickly covered them, and a heavy rain poured down.

The rain fell to the ground, rolling up big bubbles. Lu Mengzi smiled and said, "It seems that God is helping me keep guests. Okay, I didn't say anything, I'll have another meal tonight!"
