Su Jing looked over and over with Da Tuo's white things. It looked like it was unremarkable, with white and gray "stones", appearance was densely covered with "bee eyes", it was as big as four bricks, But it's very light, about two or three pounds, like a pumice stone. appearance is wet and smells of smell.

The Su Jing stared at it for a long time, and the eyes became brighter and brighter. The look was full of disbelief. This white thing looked like a legendary Ambergris. As the name suggests, Ambergris should be fragrant, but it is smelly after being dried.

Ambergris is undoubtedly a treasure. It can be used not only as a valuable traditional Chinese medicine, but also as a deodorant. It is a precious raw material sought after by perfume manufacturers, and its price is more expensive than gold. It is also known as "marine floating gold" because it is expensive and floats on the sea.

In ancient times, people thought that Ambergris was the saliva that came out of the "dragon" in the sea when it was sleeping, dripped into the sea water and solidified, formed after a long time. With the progress of the times, the mysteries of nature have been uncovered. Everyone thinks that Ambergris is a "dragon" saliva is unscientific, so a variety of conjectures have arisen: some say it was formed by a seabed volcanic eruption Some say that bird dung on the island floated into the water after a long period of weathering; some said it was beeswax, which was generated after a long floatation in seawater; some said it was a special fungus.

But it was later discovered that Ambergris was the excrement of sperm whale. Sperm whale is the largest body in the order of the sperm whale. The male body is 23 meters long and the female is 17 meters. They feed on squid and octopus. But the squid and octopus have tough **** jaws and tongue teeth, which are not easy to digest. When the sperm whale swallows large mollusks, the jaws and tongue teeth accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, stimulating the intestine, and the intestine secretes a special kind. The waxy substance wraps the residual nucleus of the food, and slowly forms Ambergris

The Ambergris discharged into the sea was initially light black. This state is of no value at all. Under the action of sea water, after more than ten years, it gradually became brown, gray, light gray, and finally became white. The white Ambergris has the best quality. It has to be immersed in seawater for more than 100 years to bleach out all impurities before it can become the top grade in Ambergris.

"Little Hu, you wouldn't really get me a piece of the best white Ambergris." Su Jing couldn't believe it, his hands were cautious, holding the white thing like a treasure, fearing that it might break.

"This was found near the big head monster." Orca(Killer Whale) screamed.

"Big head ... Could it be a sperm whale?" Su Jing was stunned. The head of the sperm whale accounts for one quarter to one third of the body. It can indeed be regarded as a big head monster. The sperm whale is huge and very fierce. It is also considered to be sea. One side dominates, but compared to Orca(Killer Whale), it is a little weaker. If there is anything that can invade the sperm whale activity area, it is none other than Orca(Killer Whale).

"Ask Shen Hong, although this old fox is sometimes pitted, but his professional knowledge is excellent, he should understand Ambergris better." Su Jing called Shen Hong immediately, but the opposite side did not answer.

Thinking that Shen Hong may be temporarily in trouble, Su Jing took a few photos of the white object, and took a few photos of the "Bamboo and Stone Painting" photo, edited a text, and sent it to Shen Hong. Let him see it first, then look back It's not too late to send it to Myriad Treasures Auction House.

Unexpectedly, after the photo was posted, Shen Hong called back, and the tone was full of excitement: "You said that the photo was taken by you, your own Bamboo and Stone Painting and Ambergris?"

"Yes." Su Jing said.

"Are you at home, I will go to your side later." Shen Hong excitedly, and at the same time I was envious of jealousy and hate, why all the babies arrived at Su Jing, this is too unfair. What he never expected was that Bamboo and Stone Painting was bought from him yesterday, and only cost a thousand yuan.

"I will go to Myriad Treasures Auction House in a day or two at most. You do n’t need to come over. Tell me first whether this painting is authentic or not. Is this white thing Ambergris? If so, how much is it worth? ? "Su Jing asked.

"Just looking at the photos, how can I tell? But it seems that Bamboo and Stone Painting is probably Zheng Banqiao ’s authenticity, and the value should be more than one million. Then the white object is also likely to be Ambergris, so the best color Ambergris, estimated price Above 1,000 yuan and one gram, your piece is about two kilograms of dried, which is at least one million. Of course, if you meet a favorite collector, then it is not calculated in grams. "Shen Hong replied.

Su Jing hears bright eyes, Bamboo and Stone Painting is really worth a million, and Ambergris is really expensive. Moreover, with the character of Shen Hong, the price he said is definitely relatively conservative, that is to say, it may be possible to add a lot to one million, of course, the premise is that Bamboo and Stone Painting is authentic, Ambergris is also true, if it is false, then estimate It is almost worthless, and instantly fell from heaven to hell.

"I haven't seen the real thing, I haven't been tested, and I can't make an accurate judgment. When will you come ... I have something wrong now, I'll go to your house to help you firm up if you don't know it." Shen Hong looked Impatient, apparently seeing the treasure moved again.

"This ... well." For Su Jing, going to Myriad Treasures Auction House appraisal is not much different from being firm at home. Appraisal at home may be more at ease, at least in your own territory.

"I'll get over this after I'm busy. Don't do any damage to Ambergris." Shen Hong finished and hung up the phone.

"What's so exciting?" an old man next to Shen Hong asked.

"Look at it." Shen Hong passed the phone picture.

"Bamboo and Stone Painting! Ambergris!" The old man's eyes suddenly lighted up. In fact, Bamboo and Stone Painting is okay. He has seen several real pictures, and he is not so surprised. The key is the appearance of Ambergris. It is really rare. After identifying these things, and hurry up, some people don't understand and pretend to detect randomly, and the results will cause damage to the baby. "

"Well, hurry up." Shen Hong nodded and said.

After hanging up the phone, Su Jing did not stay at home waiting for Shen Hong, and asked Orca(Killer Whale): "Little Hu, you said that you found this thing near the big head monster site. Can you still see the big head monster when you go out to sea?"

"You can see that they are still there." Orca(Killer Whale) shouted.

"Go, take me to see." Su Jing put the white object into the storage room of the house, then put on the swimsuit, put on the diving goggles, and brought the camera that can be taken underwater a few days ago. , Riding on Orca(Killer Whale) to go to sea.

First, I want to see the legendary sperm whale in person. Second, if the Orca(Killer Whale) is really Ambergris, it ’s worth visiting nearby to see if there are any. It's not too late to wait on this matter, and waited a long time, even if there is Ambergris, I don't know where to go.

After waiting for dozens of meters out of the sea, Su Jing suddenly realized the safety problem. What if he was attacked by a sperm whale? After all, Little Hu is still small and cannot be an opponent of an adult sperm whale. But when I think about it, sperm whales rarely prey on the sea. I like to eat mollusks such as squid and octopus, and the sperm whale does not swim as fast as Orca(Killer Whale). Don't get too close. If you have a problem, turn around and run away.

Su Jing emboldened and was taken by Orca(Killer Whale) to the overseas sea.
