Chapter 1233: A small test of skills
They took a carriage and returned to Duolao's yard.
Duolao prepared some animal skins and threw them to them, letting them dry themselves.
He put all the stones into a box.
Lin Ran originally wanted to visit him, but now that he had the chance, he explained his intention.
"Mr. Duolao, may I ask if you made the Dzi beads around your neck yourself?"
Duolao noticed that his pendant was leaking out, and he straightened his collar to block it.
He didn't speak, but looked at everyone warily.
"Mr. Duolao, have you considered developing overseas?" Lin Ran asked.
He was convinced that the Dzi bead around Duolao's neck was made by himself.
Dolau shook his head: "The tribe needs me."
"But if you continue to remain anonymous, it will be a matter of time before you die." Wang Jinpeng said.
But as soon as he said this, Lin Ran quickly interrupted him.
It is really unlucky to say such things in front of others.
Fortunately, Manya is more open-minded and doesn't have many objections to the extra work.
"I have some thoughts about staying here." Duolao replied.
Making Dzi beads privately is actually against tribal tradition.
After all, their tribe did not receive the blessing of the Living Buddha and was no longer as powerful as before.
Once discovered, it is self-evident how risky it is.
He even thought that his son would have an accident because he violated tradition.
However, he doesn't want his skills to stop flowing.
Perhaps, he is the last generation of descendants of the ancient method of making Dzi beads.
There are no descendants anymore, and the sons are all folded inside, which is enough to explain everything.
Lin Ran wanted to persuade again, but after all, there were cultural differences and it didn't make sense.
In the end, Duolao was kicked out of the house.
They returned to Manya's house, and Manya said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, I don't know why Mr. Dolau's personality has become very weird since the death of his son."
"It's understandable." Lin Ran said it didn't matter.
Staying in the guest room arranged by Manya, they took a shower and sat on the bed.
"Brother Lin, do you think the stone Duo Lao picked up may contain gems? Like gold or something." Wang Jinpeng brought up this topic again.
Although he almost drowned this time, his optimistic personality prevented him from having any concerns, and instead took the initiative to bring up the matter.
"No, what he picked up was actually the Nine-Eyed Stone Shale."
Nine-eye stone shale is actually a kind of agate formed in shale, commonly known as eye stone.
In Tibetan culture, agate is one of the seven sacred stones, and its value is self-evident.
Ordinary people were not allowed to dig and retain privately at all. It was not until the 60s that slavery was completely abolished here, and each tribe gradually embarked on the road to freedom.
Agate still retains its mystery and nobility, and tribal people are still not allowed to keep it privately.
In this kind of stone, a unique kind of agate can be excavated.
They all have eyes, as if they were formed naturally, but they have certain regular patterns.
Mainly various eyeballs, but also some other shapes, such as triangles or quadrilaterals.
Therefore, Dzi beads made of this kind of agate do not need to be colored at all, and there is no such thing as fading.
It only needs to be consecrated by the Living Buddha and it will be a natural Dzi bead.
I thought that this kind of material would be extinct. After all, Dzi beads were once regarded as a tonic and had been almost consumed by the nobles.
Seeing the Dzi beads on Manya's neck is of great ornamental value.
It can be judged from this that these nine-eye stone shale is not simple.
If it had been anyone else, there would have been nothing they could do.
But for this group of guys with outstanding tomb robbing abilities, there is nothing they can't handle.
"According to what you said, the one under the water is actually the Nine Eyes Shale Mine?"
Therefore, what Wang Jinpeng saw underwater was not an illusion, but a real mountain under the lake.
"Maybe there really is an ancient city underwater." Lin Ran said, otherwise such a barrier lake would not have been formed.
"Let's go to the city to prepare, and then go to the water to have a look." Lin Ran suggested.
His suggestion made Lao Hei feel fearful in his heart.
"Wang Jinpeng almost got folded inside, I guess I'll forget it."
The first person to speak was Hong Wu. He was timid in nature and was good at speaking based on facial expressions. He saw that Lao Hei was not willing, so he took the initiative to take the blame.
"I'm not even afraid, why are you so scared?" Wang Jinpeng disagreed.
If there really was an underwater ancient city, he really wanted to visit it.
There must be many treasures in the ancient city.
Compared to the timid Hong Wu, Wang Jinpeng has always been carefree.
What he said is true. After all, you are in this business just for money.
"We are not acting rashly, but we need to understand the situation first." Lin Ran said to Hong Wu.
Hongwu looked at Lao Hei and saw that he didn't express anything, so he continued: "Brother Lin, tell us, what is the basis for your judgment that there is an ancient city below?"
"Grass." Lin Ran replied, "There is something wrong with the grass growing nearby, which means the bottom is empty."
"Underwater ancient city?" Huang Hao rubbed his hands on his chest and his tone became excited.
"Yes, I think it's very likely." Lin Ran said.
I didn’t expect to find the ancient city at the bottom of the lake in Tibetan areas.
Others also became excited.
"Ancient City!"
Although I don’t know what era it is from, if you can enter the ancient city and fish out a few large items from it, you can make a lot of money.
"Now is the best time." Lin Ran said, "Have you noticed? The lake level is much lower than before."
After his reminder, others did feel something.
It may be that we have just experienced a dry period and the water level has dropped. This is the best time to go into the water.
The only danger is that there is still the possibility of heavy rain, and the water may be unstable.
"Down or not?" Lin Ran asked again.
He also didn't want to make decisions in private and ask for everyone's opinions.
Everyone was silent.
After a while, Wang Jinpeng was the first to express his position: "Why not?"
Xu Ning nodded, "I think it's okay."
Lao Hei also followed Xu Ning's words and said: "You can try it."
Driven by huge wealth, Lao Hei doesn't care about danger.
After all, before meeting Lin Ran, he fought against everyone and worked in the industry for many years.
The dangers encountered are countless, and life and death have long been ignored.
Seeing that Hong Wu was still worried, Lao Hei said: "Was the ancient tomb dangerous last time? We have all come here, what are you still afraid of?"
Indeed, after the previous danger, other dangers seemed nothing more than this.
Besides, Lao Hei has always said: Being in this industry is basically a job of wearing your head on your pants.
The two of them made up their mind. After all, exploring the ancient city was dangerous, but Lin Ran asked again: "Have you all decided?"
"Do it!" This time everyone responded in unison.
The answer was quite straightforward and everyone reached a consensus.
It is important for their team to have a common goal.
