Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 351 The Lost Imperial Seal

Boss Fu stretched out his hand towards the jade seal and tried to pick it up, but after a while he retracted his hand.

Even though he had experienced two lifetimes, he didn't dare to pick up this thing rashly.

It’s just that the aura of the jade seal is too strong.

The lines on the base from bottom to top are all natural, the color is very warm, and the jade of the entire seal is free of impurities.

Although it looks only the size of a fist, you can see its glory when it was a symbol of supreme power.

It can be said that whether it is the craftsmanship of the jade seal itself or its temperament, its uniqueness is demonstrated everywhere.

Boss Fu didn't dare to touch him, let alone Fu Ming and Fu Liang.

Seeing that no one dared to reach out to take it, Fu Wan couldn't contain her curiosity and bravely and carefully picked it up through the cloth.

Holding it in front of you will allow you to see the seal more clearly from a closer distance.

It was crystal white all over, and the lower part was a square jade block with equal length and width.

The upper part looks like a majestic tiger lying down, and from another angle it looks like a lifelike dragon.

The reason why the jade seal is called a "seal" is that it must have the function of stamping.

So after observing the front, Fu Wan carefully turned it over.

There was indeed a circle of pictures and text under the jade seal. Fu Wan tried hard to identify it for a long time, and the pattern seemed more and more familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

Her mind searched through her memories as quickly as a movie, and when she remembered where she had seen it, her voice trembled with shock.

"Mandated by Heaven, long life and prosperity?!"

Fu Ming was confused, "Awan, how did you get that?"

He looked left and right, up and down, but couldn't figure out the origin of these words.

Fu Wan looked at it carefully for a long time, her hands constantly gesturing in the air according to her memory, and then nodded heavily, with affirmation on her face.

"Yes, those are the eight words. I've seen them in a book."

"This is insect language. It's different from modern writing, so it's hard to tell."

Fu Wan carefully put the jade seal back down. "It is said that these eight characters are only found on the imperial seal."

"And the imperial seal has been missing for a thousand years."

As soon as the phrase "missing for a thousand years" came out, Fu Liang and Fu Ming immediately came to their senses.

What does it mean that it has been missing for a thousand years? It means that it is the most precious of precious things, the most precious of treasures.

It is not an exaggeration to call it a national treasure.

It can be said that for thousands of years, no Chinese person has not been concerned about the whereabouts of this imperial seal.

You should know that the first owner of this imperial seal was Qin Shi Huang, who unified China, and the raw material used in its production was the legendary He Shi Bi.

Even the circle of pictures and texts that Fu Ming didn't understand just now were the insect and bird characters unique to the Qin Dynasty.

If Fu Wan had not accidentally seen the pattern on the bottom of the imperial seal before, I'm afraid they would not recognize this treasure now.

But why is the imperial seal here?

As far as Fu Wan knew, the Imperial Seal had been passed down through successive dynasties since Wang Mang usurped the throne. However, during the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuchs wreaked havoc in the palace, and the emperor fled without the Imperial Seal, leading to its disappearance and its whereabouts unknown.

I didn't expect that Fu Wan would find it at the bottom of the sea.

Fu Wan didn't know where the islanders had obtained the imperial seal, but now she was extremely grateful that she had found its hiding place.

After all, such a precious national treasure, whether it is buried in the sea or stolen by thieves, is something that no Chinese person wants to see.

"Hey, why is there a chip on the corner of this jade seal?"

Fu Ming looked carefully, and when he found that the jade seal had traces of bumps and scratches, his face was full of heartache.

Although the damaged area has been patched with a lump of gold, the flaws can still be seen at a glance.

Damn it, this wasn't a knock on the imperial seal, this was clearly a knock on his heart!

"Awan, this thing can't be fake, right?"

If it were true, how could a corner be broken?

This jade seal has been a symbol of power since it was carved, so we must treasure it and hide it away!

It must be kept open even when not in use!

"Don't worry, the one that's damaged is the real imperial seal. If it weren't damaged, I'd be sure it's a fake."

It was obviously the first time that Fu Ming heard this statement, but Boss Fu agreed with Fu Wan's words.

"Indeed, I've heard this before. When Wang Mang usurped the throne, he asked the Queen Mother for the imperial seal. The Queen Mother threw it on the ground, so this mark was left."

Fu Wan nodded: "Dad, I also saw this in the book."

Seeing that Fu Wan and Boss Fu were convinced of the authenticity of the imperial seal, Fu Ming and Fu Liang naturally believed that it was real as well.

So maybe those islanders are looking for this thing and the gold under the sea!

"Dad, why don't we send this thing directly to the camp after we get back to the dock!"

The jade seal was too valuable, and Fu Wan really didn't dare to bring it home.

Not to mention that this thing is too expensive and I won't be able to sleep at night if I take it back. If I accidentally bump into it, I will be a sinner for all eternity.

Or he may be written as a sinner in history books!

Just thinking about this also made Fu Wan's scalp tingle.

So it would be better to send it to the camp as soon as you return. In case there really are spies hidden in the village by the Japanese, you can have the support of the army in the camp.

"Okay, I agree with Awan's suggestion."

"And according to what you just said, there are dozens of boxes underneath. We'll have to report it to the leaders and ask them to send people to salvage it."

The imperial seal is indeed precious, but it is also a hot potato. If held in one's hand, it might bring about disaster and death.

If they were all so nervous, let alone Ye Xiaocui who was even more timid.

So it’s better to take the things and send them directly to the camp from the beginning.

Moreover, the fact that Fu Wan was able to find the imperial seal so easily was undoubtedly due to the blessing of Mazu, who allowed this item to reappear in the light of day and no longer need to be buried at the bottom of the sea.

"Alright, that's it. Hand over the imperial seal, and forget about these gold bars tied with waterweed. After all, there's no box or mark on them. Consider them your reward for this voyage!"

Although Fu Ming agreed to report all the following items and then escort the imperial seal to the camp, it did not mean that he was working in vain.

In this world, if people don't work for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth. I believe that if Mazu sees that they took a small reward, she will not blame them.

After all, they went back to the Mazu Temple to donate money for incense!

After saying this, Boss Fu remained silent, as he also agreed with Fu Ming's words. But now they must also listen to Fu Wan's opinion.

As for Fu Liang, he didn't care at all. Although he was also envious of the treasures below, he had always been very Buddhist. As for money, as long as it was enough, it was fine.

Fu Wan noticed that everyone was looking at her and immediately reacted.

"Why are you all looking at me? What Big Brother said just now is exactly what I think. Our trip out here wasn't in vain. This bundle of gold bars is quite a bit, just enough to serve as our reward."

Boss Fu was originally worried that Fu Wan would not agree, but now that he saw that his daughter thought the same, he felt relieved.

There were exactly twenty gold bars in the bundle. Fu Wan asked Boss Fu to put them away first, and then she wrapped the jade seal with the silk cloth again.

After finishing his work, Boss Fu did not forget to look at his watch.

"It's still early, why don't we go downstairs and get some seafood!"

The treasures below have to be handed over, but you can always pick up the seafood!
