Chapter 642 The Value Behind the Fragments



"Fortune telling, shamanic rituals?"

Jin Huashi opened his mouth in shock. He had seen shamans perform rituals before he went abroad, but what did this have to do with the Tibetan Jade Seal?

Seeing his confusion, Fu Wan patiently explained, "Whether it's fortune telling or performing rituals, these are things that foreigners don't understand."

I've heard people joke that many foreigners are afraid of the mystery surrounding China, seeing it as something a witch's magic wand.

So I think we can try using their fear.

"this……"

Jin Huashi was stunned, then slowly came to his senses.

Believe it or not, although it's a bit outrageous, this method might actually work.

Bai Qianzhou also agreed, saying that every country has its own beliefs, and theism is universal in every country.

It's just that each country has a different god.

China's 5,000-year history is considered untouchable by foreigners who have only a few hundred or even a few decades of history.

Seeing that neither Bai Qianzhou nor Jin Huashi had any objections, Fu Wan simply finalized the plan.

Jin Huashi pondered for a moment, then wrapped the jade seal again in silk.

"Keep the imperial seal safe. As you said, I'll go back and find someone to prepare these things."

"Alright, Brother Jin, it's up to you then. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll head back to China tomorrow."

Fu Wan made the final decision: staying in America would only lead to more trouble, and now that the imperial seal had been found, there was no reason to stay any longer.

Before Fu Wan could remove her flippers, she saw Jin Huashi get up and prepare to walk towards the cockpit, and she remembered the porcelain shards at the bottom of the sea.

Could the one in the same sea area as the imperial seal also be a treasure left by our ancestors?

Although they were broken, Fu Wan still wanted to take them back with her.

There are many capable people in the organization; perhaps they can be repaired if we take them back?

In other words, even if it couldn't be repaired, she didn't want these things to lie dormant in the seabed of a foreign land.

Thinking this, Fu Wan stuffed the jade seal into Bai Qianzhou's hand, then turned to Jin Huashi and shouted:

"Brother Jin, don't set sail yet, I'll go down again."

Bai Qianzhou was caught off guard. When he saw Fu Wan turn around and call out to Jin Huashi again, he immediately guessed Fu Wan's intention.

"Ah Wan, I'll go with you!"

"No, your task is to guard this thing."

Fu Wan stopped him. The imperial seal was no exaggeration to call it a national treasure. It was something that had been hard to obtain, so it had to be kept under constant watch.

Bai Qianzhou understood this principle and, after thinking about it, gave up his decision to insist on going into the water.

"Okay, then be careful. We'll wait for you to come back here."

"Okay, it shouldn't take too long."

Jin Huashi was about to start the ship, but Fu Wan stopped him and he went back to the deck.

Fu Wan explained her purpose for going into the water to him in a few words. Before Jin Huashi could persuade her, she leaned back and entered the sea with the smallest mesh net.

"Hey... watch out!"

Jin Huashi looked at the water with a mixture of worry and disapproval. In his mind, if something could be discarded, it should be discarded; what was the point of having those broken things?

After all this commotion today, even if Fu Wan and the others had bodies of iron, they couldn't take it anymore!

Bai Qianzhou could guess Fu Wan's thoughts: since she was already here, she had to take everything from China with her, leaving them not even a single piece of porcelain.

"Brother Jin, don't worry, Awan can do it."

He was very confident in Fu Wan, and his only worry was the giant creatures in the sea.

However, given Fu Wan's agility, she will definitely be able to return safely.

After entering the water, Fu Wan quickly dived towards the seabed. Without Bai Qianzhou following behind, her speed was much faster than before.

Moreover, her goal was very clear, and since she already knew where the fragments were, it didn't take her long to find the porcelain fragments buried among the seaweed and mud.

Fu Wan gently landed next to the pile of porcelain. She looked around but didn't see any octopus eels. It seemed they had all gone home to rest after fighting.

There were only a few palm-sized sea fish swimming around in the coral reef. When they saw Fu Wan approaching, they were so frightened that they darted into the coral reef.

Only after realizing that Fu Wan had no intention of harming them did these little creatures cautiously peek out again.

Some of the bolder ones even gathered around Fu Wan to join in the fun.

Fu Wan didn't have time to play with these little things today. She tore open the net and quickly picked up the porcelain shards into it.

Fortunately, the area where these fragments were scattered was not large. After picking up the pile of the excess, Fu Wan searched around the area again and collected all the porcelain fragments she could see into her net bag.

Coincidentally, while she was looking for porcelain, she also saw a large lobster with a tail of about 30 centimeters coming out to forage for food.

The porcelain shards have been collected almost completely, so this lobster will be the perfect ending.

Fu Wan stepped forward and grabbed the lobster. The lobster reacted quickly and immediately tried to escape by forcefully pulling its tail.

Unfortunately, Fu Wan's hands were like iron pincers, and the lobster could only struggle and squeak. Since Fu Wan's net bag contained porcelain shards, she simply grabbed the lobster and floated it to the surface.

Whoosh!

"Ah Wan!"

Hearing the commotion, Bai Qianzhou quickly reached out to Fu Wan, who smiled at him and handed him the lobster.

"Take this thing away first, haha, it's not easy to find something like this, I'll add it to my meal when we get back."

"Okay, I'll pull you up."

Bai Qianzhou took the lobster as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, then casually tossed it aside before pulling Fu Wan away.

Jin Huashi stared in disbelief and hurriedly grabbed the lobster and put it into the fish tank.

"Fu Wan, you're amazing! You managed to catch such a big lobster while picking up things!"

"Haha, it was just a small thing!"

Fu Wan placed the net on the deck, and Jin Huashi hurriedly went over to open it.

"Hmm...it definitely looks like something from China, but it's so broken that the chances of it being repaired when we take it back are pretty low."

"Even if it's repaired, it won't be worth a good price."

Fu Wan waved her hand, "I'm not bringing them back to trade, Brother Jin, you should understand. Even if these things are just displayed in a museum, their stories can give future generations pause for thought."

A great man once said that backwardness invites aggression; the value behind these fragments far surpasses that of real gold and silver.

Upon hearing this, Jin Huashi was deeply disturbed. He realized that he had been narrow-minded and had not seen things as clearly as the young Fu Wan.

“You’re right. Clean these porcelain shards and put them in cloth bags. I’m sailing back to port now.”

"good!"

Fu Wan readily agreed, then removed the flippers from her feet. Bai Qianzhou went to the cabin to find two rags, and together with Fu Wan, they wiped the water and mud off the porcelain shards one by one.

About an hour later, the ship slowly approached the dock. Fortunately, it was almost 1 a.m. and there was not a soul on the dock.

Fu Wan carried the jade seal and porcelain fragments, while Bai Qianzhou and Jin Huashi carried sacks filled with gold coins.

According to their previous arrangement, the gold coins should be taken away by Jin Huashi in his car first. The hotel is crowded and not a suitable place to hide the gold coins in the wooden box.
