Long Wu smeared the wound with sand. In my eyes, it was no different from adding salt to the wound.
But Avril cared about him very much and understood him better. She looked anxious but didn't ask a question, and just hurriedly helped Long Wu bandage his exposed wounds.
No one was sleepy at all now. Even Boss Sun, who was extremely inconvenient to move, moved his buttocks and moved back. You didn't need to look to know that he was covered in goosebumps for fear of unknown creatures in the water rising up and hurting people.
I thought about the Kirin Antler Cup in my bag. It seems no accident that it was hidden inside the giant conch.
The origin of this magical cup can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, when Duke Huan of Qi was one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the rituals and music collapsed, the heroes were divided, and the number of princes, large and small, reached more than 170. The formation of the Five Hegemons originated from the gradual decline of the Zhou royal family. Under the guidance of Guan Zhong, Duke Huan of Qi respected the king and fought against the barbarians and formed an alliance. , was a veritable "international policeman" at that time, in charge of the order of the current situation.
As the name suggests, "Zunwang" means respecting the Emperor of Zhou, which naturally solved the pressing needs of the Zhou royal family, and this decisively won the support of the Emperor of Zhou. Although he is the emperor, he has no title, and no matter how small the princes are, he ignores him. The long-term depression has long driven him crazy. The emperor is a fool, and the emperor can pretend to be a fool, but a fool cannot become the emperor. . So the Zhou royal family decisively boarded the ship of Duke Huan of Qi and took the initiative to confer him the title of overlord.
Although Cao Cao later coerced the emperor to order the princes, his behavior was very different from Qi Huangong's pattern. Qi Huangong actually sent troops to help other princes resist the barbarian foreign enemies. There are 28 historical records of Qi Huangong sending out troops to resist foreign enemies. Second-rate. In the end, Duke Huan of Qi was the first to protect the Central Plains from losing a single piece of land.
This Kirin Antler Cup appeared during one of the anti-barbarian activities. The barbarian leader was captured, and his tribe presented this treasure to Duke Huan of Qi in exchange for hostages.
Duke Huan of Qi naturally cherished this treasure, but he paid more attention to his beloved minister Guan Zhong, so he rewarded it. Guan Zhong would not let go of the treasure as if he had found it. Even when he went to bed, he would play with it and fall asleep. Unfortunately, the treasure disappeared after that. .
Now it seems that this cup has been circulated several times and finally arrived in this place where the sea of clouds flows to Yunnan.
There was indeed a tribe that used the image of Qilin as its totem during the Spring and Autumn Period, called the Linjie tribe. However, there are very few historical records about this tribe. This information was obtained from a book called "The Biography of Qilin" that I obtained from a colleague a few years ago. I accidentally learned about it from the only copy of "."
As mentioned before, one of my main activities. It means collecting unique copies, interpreting ancient books, and correcting them.
The potential value of an orphan copy is immeasurable. It does not necessarily mean how precious and rare the content it records is, but the important thing is the person who is looking for it. The contents of some of the solitary copies are obscure and difficult to understand, but even if someone has been looking for them for more than ten years, or even decades, the contents recorded in the solitary copies may only be of great use to the person who is looking for them.
Therefore, getting some rare and unique copies can easily become priceless. For those who are struggling to find these unique copies, they are priceless treasures, but for ordinary Taobao customers, they are just scraps of paper and can be used to wipe their butts. .
The most valuable single copy I have ever dealt with was sold for nearly a million dollars. I flipped through the book more than ten times and marked out as many of its obscure meanings as possible, but that was all. In total, it is only more than 30,000 words.
What is this value? Divided evenly into each word, one word reaches more than thirty yuan! It is no exaggeration to say that just picking up a paragraph can cost thousands of dollars!
The person pursuing that book was a big boss from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The one million he paid for it was about the same as the one hundred yuan we paid for it, or even worse than the one hundred yuan we paid for it.
We took out a hundred yuan and smoothed it out to see if it was a tract. When people came to pick up the book, I didn't even come over. After confirming that it was what I was looking for, I paid directly. Then the person who picked up the book was just a female assistant.
Therefore, the value of an orphan copy is extremely variable. Rather than saying how much the content inside is worth, it is more important to find people who need it. To put it bluntly, the transaction of unique copies must always take advantage of the information gap. It is more like a transaction of information resources!
What I want to say now is that the record of the tribe's location happens to be in the land of Yunnan. Is this a huge coincidence? Is this tribe directly related to the later ancient Dian Kingdom? If both are true, and the Kirin Antler Cup appears again in King Kai's tomb, wouldn't it mean that the thing that has been going around for hundreds of years has been returned to its original owner!
There is a monster several meters long underwater in front of me. I don’t know what it is yet. I only know that it is probably a fish, but there are too many kinds of fish. There are countless bad freshwater fishes. Piranhas, also called piranhas, are a kind of pomfret, but they are not big, only a few dozen centimeters in length. They are born with jagged steel teeth and are bloodthirsty. However, their habit is to travel in groups. They are truly gregarious aquatic animals, and they are rarely found alone.
The big black shadow in the water just now was coherent as a whole, moving like lightning, and its shape was not scattered at all. It definitely didn't look like a group of piranhas.
Since it is a complete big fish with a body length of more than three meters, the remaining large freshwater fish that can be guessed are very limited. If you mention them at once, they can be roughly divided into five or six categories: giant shark, herring, catfish, Catfish, big red fish.
Among them, herring is familiar to everyone, so I won’t explain too much. The size of both anchovy and catfish is very dependent on the diet of the living waters. As the saying goes, only by eating well can you grow faster, but catfish have lower requirements for water quality, but as long as there is enough food, it doesn't matter if you eat "street stalls" every day , so its size is not limited at all, it keeps eating and growing, even if it breaks the pond.
However, the giant mackerel is a tropical freshwater fish that has many nicknames due to its peculiar appearance, such as: papaya fish, eagle and duck bill. There are two main living areas, one is the Ganges River in India, and the other is along the Mekong River at the border junction. This fish is huge and fierce. It often preys on children playing in the river, causing panic among nearby residents. It is a veritable "piranha", a real river monster!
Another word for big red fish may be familiar to everyone immediately. Big red fish is also known as Zheluo salmon! This migratory creature will swim upstream every year during the spawning season. Whenever this season comes, it is a carnival for brown bears.
Because the salmon are dedicated to reproducing their offspring, brown bears can easily catch the salmon swimming upstream. There is an old saying in the Northeast: "beat the roe deer with a stick, and scoop up the fish with a ladle." This latter metaphor is a perfect metaphor for brown bear fishing.
One after another, the huge jellyfish were like loaches that lacked oxygen at the bottom of the pond. They twisted with all their strength and pushed upwards. The brown bear caught too many fish and didn't even eat the fish. The big bear slapped the jellyfish on the ground, and it was hard to tell. With a little force and a little squeeze, countless red and yellow fish roe will appear like beans. This is the best food for bears. The fish roe is rich in nutrients and does not take up much space in the stomach. It is the best choice for keeping fat to survive hibernation.
But at this moment, there were sudden violent whirlpools under the water, as if all the huge creatures were crowded together. The mouth of the pool, which was only five or six meters in diameter, was filled with more than a dozen high and low water ripples, and there was no wave. It actually appeared unexpectedly in such a narrow place! The waves collide with each other and have the potential to overwhelm the river!
Suddenly a big fish burst out of the water with a bang, and its huge body went straight to the half-canned can on the shore. The big fish in the water was tempted by the aroma of the canned beef and actually grabbed the shore to eat!
The big fish suddenly burst out of the water, and the waves it brought out were just like the water splashing festival. If a few people hadn't dodged in time, they would have been showered with blood.
We were all shocked, our eyes were wide open, our mouths could not be closed when we opened them, and we were broken into cold sweats by this strange fish that was at least five meters long! Under the crazy illumination of the flashlight, I saw that the big guy had whiskers under its mouth, and four fish whiskers more than half a meter long were shaking in the air. The eyes of the strange fish are very small, and there is a goose egg-sized hole in each front of both hands. There are neatly arranged marks like steel nails on both sides of the body's spine. The dorsal fin is far back, almost close to the twisted and wide fish tail. No matter how you go, It looks more like a sturgeon. Its two fins are like cattail fans, crackling on the ground!
I took a closer look, and my brain began to work rapidly. On the premise that the "CPU" could not be burned, I searched my memory for ancient descriptions of sea monsters and river monsters. His uncle's head was almost smoking from thinking about it. I finally found the answer in Huang Junfu's "Dragon in the Sea". It can be said that I have guessed about several giant freshwater fishes, but I didn't dare to guess about this giant catfish!
The Daphne's catfish belongs to the genus Acipensidae and is not a migratory race. Its origins can be traced back to the Cretaceous period more than 100 million years ago. It is a veritable "living fossil". This giant carnivorous fish is generally five to six meters long. It does not migrate into the sea and lives in freshwater areas. It also has a very distinctive feature, that is, its tail is crooked and it has no scales on its body, but it has scales on its back. There are 5 rows of hard scales, which are diamond-shaped and as hard as steel. Back then, Huang Junfu recorded all the water monsters he had seen in his life in "Dragon in the Sea", which really did me a big favor today.
The external characteristics of the giant fish in front of me are all consistent with those described in the book, but this giant fish rushes up quickly and stumbles back into the water even faster. It twists its huge body, and flaps its head and tail up and down at others. If you dare to stop it, you can only let it jump wildly, and the splash will splash out again with a bigger splash. Looking at the shore just now, there is only slime left on the ground!
