treasure hunt god pupil

Chapter 1367 The road ahead
Gao Yunxiang didn't like the boss's new secretary very much. After being selected, this guy was a bit like a carp jumping over the dragon gate. He was not just showing off. There was a time when he was flattered by those who fawned over him and made him a little proud.

They want to be friends with everyone they meet, which makes people feel a little disgusted. Gao Yunxiang feels even more disgusted inside, but they are all old hands. They have one thing in mind and they have to do their job on the surface, at least not to let others think that there is discord between the two sides.

Back in the office, the secretary made Gao Yunxiang a cup of tea and said, "Your son called the office just now, and I told him that you were in a meeting."

Gao Yunxiang took out his phone and glanced at it, then nodded and said, "I'll call him back. By the way, can you get me a few boxes of freshly made snacks?"

"it is good."

After the secretary left the office, Gao Yunxiang called his son, who answered the call quickly and sounded full of energy.

"I told you not to call the office during working hours."

"Dad, I have something urgent to discuss with you."

Gao Yunxiang didn't really blame him. After all, every time he called him, it was to ask him for advice. He could also clearly feel that some qualitative changes were taking place in his son. All this was thanks to Li Mo's efforts in getting him to work in Shanghai. Otherwise, if he stayed in Kyoto, he would have been wasted.

"What's going on this time?"

"Dad, I heard a rumor that Li Mo is going to retire. Is this true?"

"Since it's just gossip, why do you care so much? Just do what you are supposed to do over there."

"Dad, I'm working very hard right now. I'm thinking that I can move up to the next level after the Southeast Asian Art Museum project is completed. If Li Mo really announces his retirement, then I will be happy for nothing."

Gao Yunxiang had the urge to beat him up, so he immediately said in a deep voice: "Are you stupid? Li Mo just plans to retire and no longer participate in the affairs of the Treasure Hunt. In other words, no matter what treasures there are in the world in the future, he will not interfere."

"He is not gone forever, so as long as he is still here, his influence will continue. Don't forget that there are several people in the military and local governors who have a special relationship with him. As long as you do your job well, do you have to worry about being rooted in that museum park forever?"

There was silence on the other end of the line, and then there was a slight snap: "Dad, I've completely figured it out now. I won't chat with you anymore, I still have a lot of things to coordinate and deal with."

Gao Yunxiang hung up the phone and sat in the office chair thinking about something. After a long time, he shook his head slightly: "Although my son is not young anymore, his vision is still too narrow. He was brought to the Magic City by Li Mo to participate in the super project of the museum park. That is to say, Li Mo will train him as a capable person. As long as he does not make principled mistakes, he will definitely have a bright future.

"It seems that I need to spend more time with Li Mo in the future."

Gao Yunxiang has already made a decision in his mind.

On the deck of the Nanhai Guyunxuan salvage ship, Li Mo also received a call from Kyoto. He didn't know what the other party was saying, but he kept nodding his head to show his affirmation.

Yan Yangyang, who was standing not far away, was a little worried, not knowing whether his master would be punished. After all, behind the South China Sea dispute this time were big crocodiles secretly competing, and everyone wanted to suppress the other side.

But at the last moment, Li Mo unexpectedly unleashed a super killer move, sweeping across the country in an invincible manner, killing some enemies, injuring some, and capturing some. This caused an uproar internationally.

There was no way. Li Mo was too dazzling. He himself was mysterious. In the East, he was called the God's Eyes. In Europe, he was called the Son of God who walked the world on behalf of Jesus Christ. In the minds of the American Indian people, he became the reincarnation of the souls of the Indian ancestors.

Therefore, everything he did was like God's will. Besides, all the countries that had cooperated with him made a fortune, and the gold was calculated in hundreds of tons. At the critical moment, it was the most important strategic material to stabilize the domestic financial currency.

It is precisely because of this that Li Mo's every move has attracted the attention of countries around the world, and the incident in which five or six hundred Philippine fishing boats besieged the Gu Yunxuan salvage ship was obviously driven by official support, otherwise how could they have the courage to come and cause trouble.

Fortunately, Li Mo would not tolerate them at all and took ruthless action directly.

"Yangyang."

After Li Mo answered the phone, his face showed no emotion, and he waved to his apprentice who was not far away.

Yan Yangyang hurried over and asked, "Master, is there something wrong?"

Li Mo looked at her in surprise: "What happened?"

"I think you don't look good."

Li Mo rubbed his face and said unhappily, "The climate in the north is much drier than in the south. How can we withstand the damage of the sea breeze on this sea surface? I called you to tell you that today we are trying to salvage the sunken treasure on the seabed, using a step-by-step approach."

Yan Yangyang smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Today I will give you a work rhythm to adapt to. Tomorrow I will broadcast the entire process live to you. You are the protagonist, but don't feel any psychological pressure. I will be by your side. If you need my cooperation, you can just transfer it to me naturally."

"Yes, Master, I won't let you down."

"Okay, go put on your veil, or the sea breeze will make your fair skin dark and rough." Li Mo was still concerned about his disciple's image. After all, they were in their best years, and beauty was the main theme.

In the morning, the retired team led by Tongchui dived into the seabed to carry out salvage work, and in the afternoon, the professional salvage team under Lu Guoqing went into the sea.

The first day of trial salvage progress was not fast, mainly steady. Li Mo and many marine archaeology teams were immersed in the initial maintenance of the salvaged treasures, and then numbered and filed them in protective boxes.

"The majority of Southeast Asian countries are Buddhist, so there are many exquisitely carved, lifelike Buddha statues on this shipwreck, some with gilded bodies and some with jade carvings. They are all of top quality, and each one is a masterpiece, in no way inferior to the artifacts that have been temporarily unearthed from museums in Southeast Asian countries, and may even be better."

Li Mo wiped the water stains off the surface of a high-ice green jade Buddha statue, and then sprayed some special liquid on it. Its main function is to protect the antique cultural relics that have just been taken out of the sea.

"Master, this high-quality icy jade Buddha statue seems to be a size larger than the first reclining Buddha statue we salvaged."

"It's almost a size bigger, and it's expensive."

The media live broadcast will naturally give more shots to Li Mo, and the number of netizens entering the live broadcast room will soar, as if netizens across the country are focusing on him at the same time.

"Academician Li, some netizens have asked you something." The anchor came to his side and whispered, "Do you think you need to interact with them all?"

"Since it's a live broadcast, it's normal to interact." Li Mo looked at the ground. On a soft cotton mat were hundreds of beeswax of various shapes. The big ones were about the size of a baby's fist, and there were even more small ones.

He picked up a piece of beeswax that looked like butter from the ground and said to the camera: "Attention all the netizens online today. At 11:30 a.m., I will say a command, and then everyone will start to refresh the screen. I will shout five times and then take a screenshot. The first netizen to take the screenshot will get this piece of beeswax."

The people in the live broadcast room instantly became excited and agitated.

Yan Yangyang secretly stuck out his tongue. The master was too bold. This piece of beeswax was one of the treasures from the shipwreck, and he actually dared to say in front of the camera that he could give one away.

"Yangyang, are you listening to me?"

Yan Yangyang let out a cry and then squatted down to clean the mud on the surface of a piece of Asian ivory that had just been salvaged.

"Master, you see there are slight flaws on the surface of this Asian ivory. We can consider using the whole ivory to carve it into an ivory sculpture. If it is placed in a museum, it will also attract the attention of tourists."

Li Mo asked the camera to zoom in a little, and indeed he could clearly see that the ivory surface had been corroded by sea water and had various small uneven details.

"Yangyang, you should carefully check the other ivory that has been salvaged. If there are any flaws, they should be re-carved artistically and then displayed to the public. Famous northern carvers, it's time for you to show your skills. Now you can start imagining what your artistic creations will look like."

The sunken treasures were salvaged piece by piece, from morning till night. Sixteen teams of divers worked together, and the results of the first day's statistics were 19 jade Buddha statues of various types, 485 pearls of various types, 88 pieces of Asian ivory, 83 gold-plated Buddha statues, etc.

"Master, this gilded Buddha statue is badly damaged. The lotus seat has started to crack, and it looks like the gilt on the surface has been scraped off by something hard."

Yan Yangyang placed a gilded Buddha statue in front of Li Mo. Li Mo took a look and felt a little sorry. This thing was almost six or seven hundred years old. If it was in almost intact condition, then every piece that appeared in the future antique auction market would be expected to be an authentic piece of epic level.

On the third, fourth, and fifth days, a total of 5,782 pieces of various sunken treasures were salvaged in three days. According to Li Mo's inspection, at least two-thirds of the sunken treasures have been salvaged so far, which means that at least more than 10,000 pieces of sunken treasures have not been salvaged from the entire sunken ship.

On this day, Li Mo touched his stomach. He missed his life in the city. He could eat whatever he wanted. There were also many sea fish here, but the taste seemed a little lacking.

I don’t know if it’s because of the people or the ingredients.

Just hang in there, in about six or seven days, all the treasures from the sunken ship will be salvaged. Fortunately, Yan Yangyang is fully capable of handling the current situation. Li Mo just let go of everything, because everything is complicated by his apprentice Yangyang.

Jade statues, beeswax, Asian ivory, gilt crafts, etc., the number is increasing day by day.

At the end of mid-July, the shipwreck on the seabed had been turned over thoroughly, and Li Mo also scanned it with his special eyes. There were still some sunken treasures hidden in the deeper mud. Unfortunately, the mud outside the shipwreck was too thick and could not be excavated at all.

All the sunken treasures add up to more than 18,000 pieces, which is enough to support a modern museum. However, the scale of the newly built marine archaeological base is much smaller. Fortunately, the officials in Shenzhen did not exaggerate when planning to enclose such a large area. After all, the land in Shenzhen is not cheap.

Of course, the newly built marine archaeological base is not in the center of Shenzhen, but on the edge, at the junction of urban and rural areas.

"I declare that the salvage project of the sunken treasure has been successfully completed. It is almost four o'clock in the afternoon now. We will return now. I have already arranged a buffet dinner. Everyone can eat and drink as much as they want."

There was a burst of warm applause and cheers on the deck. Most people still couldn't accept the days at sea, coupled with the changeable climate. When Li Mo announced his return, many people naturally couldn't help cheering.

Li Mo stood at the bow, facing the wind. Behind him, another salvage ship was following closely. Further away, more than a dozen fishing boats were also returning together. The red flags on the boats were fluttering in the wind, which was particularly conspicuous.

"Yangyang, how do you feel about this trip to the sea?"

Li Mo turned his head and glanced at Yan Yangyang. The child had never experienced such hardship before and looked a little haggard.

"Master, I can feel that what I have done is far from good enough."

Li Mo smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to feel the wind, and said after a while: "You still have a lot of room and time to grow. Master has paved the way for you. You just need to keep moving forward on the road. When you are fully adapted, you will go to the end of the road and continue to open up new paths."

There was a thoughtful look in Yan Yangyang's eyes.

"Master, I will continue to work hard."

Li Mo reached out and patted her head gently: "It's not enough to just work hard. Don't just study hard. Instead, travel and go out more often to gain more knowledge and meet more different people. You will grow up quickly and become stronger. In the future, just go ahead and don't worry about what's behind you. Master will always be your strongest backer."

Yan Yangyang turned his head and looked at him, and said firmly: "Master, please believe me, I will become the best fourth-generation disciple of Xunbaomen."

"Hahaha, Master naturally believes in you." Li Mo expanded his chest and took a long breath. His stage play was over, and Yang Yang was about to step onto the stage of her life. Life is like this, no matter how brilliant it is, there will always be a day when it ends.

Rather than ending in slow agony, it is better to leave the stage decisively at the most glorious moment and leave an eternal memory to the world.

Chen Yuyan and Chen Mingyun came over and handed them a bottle of purified water.

"What are you two planning?"

Li Mo asked after taking a sip of water.

"Uncle, I will go to work at the National Martial Arts Museum, and there will be a lot of people there to help." Chen Mingyun thought for a while and said, Li Mo nodded. His senior brother did need a lot of disciples who were good at Bajiquan to help, and Chen Mingyun would be very suitable to go there.

"After I returned to Kyoto, Senior Uncle Xiaoyan asked me to look for her. I guess she has some good jobs there."

Chen Yuyan also had a direction to move forward.
