I didn't expect to see this strange book here.

"You know this book?" a loud voice suddenly rang out in the room.

Wu Song turned to look, Wang Gong was standing a few meters away, standing with his hands in his hands.

In the battle of Moby Dick City half a year ago, he once chased Wang Gong and almost caught him.

Of course, he was very embarrassed at that time, and now Wang Gong exudes the momentum of a hegemon, but Wu Song saw deep exhaustion in his eyes.

"Dayang Note," Wu Song looked at Wang Gong, his tone calm, "It's a strange book, I heard my master mention it before, and everyone thought that this book had been destroyed." ”

"It's ruined," Wang Gong walked to the bookshelf, his steps a little slow, "It took me five years and a lot of money to find this book from a bookseller in Dongzhou.

At the time, a small half of it was charred black. Fortunately, it was only burned black, but not lost. When I got it back, I asked a skilled craftsman to repair it. ”

Wang Gong picked up the ocean note, and rubbed his fingers on it gently, as if rubbing his lover.

"Why don't you kill me?" Wu Song said.

"Did I kill you?" Wang Gong's tone carried a hint of helplessness, "Your ability, others don't know, don't I know yet?"

Half a year ago, you could defeat the army of my royal pirates and save Moby Dick City with the power of one person. Now, half a year has passed, and your cultivation will only go to a higher level than before.

If I kill you, I will only fail, but I will anger you and cause you a lot of trouble. ”

"Then what are you looking for me for?" Wu Song felt a little curious, he originally had some appreciation for Wang Gong, thinking that he was a hero, and now he felt that this person was not only a hero, but also an interesting person.

Wang Gong took down the ocean note, spread it out on the desk, and beckoned, "Come and have a look." ”

Wu Song walked to the table and looked at Dayang Zhu.

On the spread page, a nautical chart is drawn.

In the middle of the page, a dark shadow is drawn, and around the shadow is an ordinary portrait of an island.

Wu Song was a little puzzled and said, "Is there anything abnormal about this?"

Wang Gong pointed to the dark shadow in the middle of the page, "Do you know what that means?"

Wu Song shook his head, and Wang Gong said, "This black shadow was deliberately smeared, not by later people, but by the person who wrote the book himself when the book was written in the ocean." ”

"Why? Is there anything unusual about this place?" Wu Song asked.

"The name of that scholar has not been passed down to the world, but I have ascertained his origin. When he was young, he was a civil official in the palace of the Great Yao Empire. Wang Gongdao.

The Great Yao Empire, the last great empire on the Dongzhou continent that spans almost all of the Dongzhou, has never had such an empire on the Dongzhou continent for eighty years since its demise.

"What's the secret on him?" Wu Songren looked at Wang Gong.

"The Great Yao Empire lasted for eight hundred years, and at its most glorious, even some countries in Xizhou had to come to pay tribute. Wang Gong left the desk, walked to the flowers, and looked out the window, "According to historical records,

The annual treasury income of the Great Yao Empire, combined, was three times that of Xizhou.

Even at the end of the Great Yao Empire, its income far exceeded that of any country on the Xizhou continent.

But it is such a rich country that when the rebels stormed the treasury on the day of the breach of the city eighty years ago, they found it empty and empty.

Don't you think it's strange -- where does all that money go?"

Wu Song looked at the black shadow on the ocean, "Presumably you already have the answer." ”

"The last emperor of the Great Yao Empire died at the hands of rebels. When the rebels broke through the capital, he had already made a careful escape plan.

However, at the last moment, he was betrayed by the people around him and failed to escape.

The escape route he had planned at that time was somewhere in the ocean. According to a reliable account, he buried a lot of money in that place in order to use that place as his base.

Take that as a starting point to complete the great cause of restoring the country. ”

"That place is where the dark shadow on the ocean is?" Wu Song said.

"That's right," Wang Gong turned to look at Wu Song, his eyes full of greed, "Think about it, how much should the wealth of the entire Dayao Empire be? ”

Wu Song couldn't help but sneer, "Is your news accurate? Why does it sound like a legendary story told by a storyteller on the street?"

Wang Gong's sweet dream was mercilessly poured cold water by Wu Song, and he glared at Wu Song angrily, "Do you think I will spend so much energy on an unfounded rumor?"

The scholar who wrote the Commentary on the Great Ocean was a loyal servant. After the fall of the Great Yao Empire, he abandoned his wife and children and spent all his time chasing the place where the emperor buried his treasures.

He believes that only by finding the treasure of the Great Yao Empire can there be hope for the restoration of the country.

That's why he went back to explore all parts of the ocean, despite the difficulties and dangers. Speaking of which, the initial draft of the book was nothing more than an unintentional act by him in his quest for treasure. ”

Wu Song was puzzled, "Then it seems that he has found the burial place of the treasure, so why did he erase that place?"

Now that he has found the treasure, he doesn't even need to write the book of the Great Ocean.

When the time comes, if he wants to do the great cause of restoring the country, he will do the great cause of restoring the country, and if he wants to spend all his time drinking, no one will care.

Why do you want to go so far and write a note on the ocean?"

"Because he doesn't have time," Wang Gong touched his heart, and there was a sense of depression in his tone, Wu Song felt that he had some sympathy for the same disease, "When he found the place where the treasure was buried, he found that he was terminally ill and there was no cure.

He didn't have much time to live, and he spent half his life wandering, his wife separated, he had no friends, and in the end he couldn't find anyone to entrust.

And the treasure burial place was found by him with half a lifetime of painstaking efforts. Let him take it into the coffin, and he felt reluctant again.

Helplessly, he had no choice but to write the ocean note, but he didn't want everyone to easily find the treasure burial place, so he erased the treasure burial place, hoping that people who were destined could use the clues on the ocean note to find the treasure burial place. ”

Wu Song stretched his waist, "Do you think you will be the one who is destined?"

Wang Gong smiled slightly, "Why not give it a try? Even if it's not, what's the loss?"

"What do you say to the ghosts?" Wu Song smiled disdainfully, "This treasure hunt must be in danger, and if you don't die, there will be no life, didn't you come to me just to go treasure hunting with you?"

If there is no danger, what are you pulling me for? Who wouldn't want to swallow such a big fortune in one bite?

You just praised me for cultivating as a god, I believe you are sincere, you came to me, didn't you just take a fancy to me?"

"Hahaha," Wang Gong laughed and clapped his hands repeatedly, "It's easy to talk to smart people, and it's also pleasant." You're right, there's a huge danger in going on a treasure hunt.

The sea area that passes through either hides fierce monsters, or the environment is treacherous, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed.

In addition to natural hazards, you will also encounter powerful enemies. ”

"Jiwen?" Wu Song raised an eyebrow, "He's going to hunt for treasure too?"

"It's not that I'm going, but I'm already going," Wang Gong frowned, looking worried, "The secret stake I planted at Jiwen's place has already sent a letter, saying that Jiwen has set off a day ago.

Moreover, not only him, but Wei Wen also set off with him. ”

"Then you're in trouble," Wu Song gloated a little, "Your Wang family pirates have been divided into three groups, and now the other two are going to join forces to deal with you." ”

"Hmph," Wang Gong snorted coldly, "Those two are just juniors, bullying my two younger brothers when they are young and ignorant, killing them, and robbing my Wang family's pirates."

Sooner or later, I will kill them to avenge my two brothers and honor their spirits in heaven.

Alas, my two short-lived brothers. ”

Wang Gong's eyes were full of tears, his tone was sobbing, and he was very sad.

Wu Song was also a little moved, he didn't expect this ruthless person to have such a loving side.

The housekeeper brought a glass of wine, Wang Gong took a sip and stabilized his mood, "What you just said is right, this treasure hunt is really a life of death."

But I can't fly. My Wang family pirates are now torn apart, and there are still foreign enemies such as Li family pirates outside, and I urgently need money to help me reorganize things. ”

Wu Song squinted at Wang Gong, "You have a reason to go, so what about me? Why should I go on an adventure with you?"

I don't think my friend is trying to blackmail me, do I?"

"I'm not a villain, I'm blackmailing you with your friends, but I'm just asking you to come here to talk, I won't use them to force you to help me," Wang Gong came to the table and looked directly at Wu Song, "But I have an important reason,

For this reason, none of you will refuse me. ”

"Oh?" Wu Song was a little curious, "so confident?"

"For the sake of the safety of Zhongjie Island, even for the sake of the pacification of the ocean," Wang Gong said in a sonorous tone, "This is my reason, will you refuse?"

"Let's talk about it carefully," Wu Song put on a deaf look, "Why does treasure hunting have something to do with the safety of Middle Boundary Island and the ocean?"

"Jiwen has long had the intention of attacking the Middle Boundary Island," Wang Gong sat down behind his desk, "I know that not long before that, you were on the Middle Boundary Island, and you just stopped the attack of a group of pirates.

Behind those pirates is Given.

The reason why he was slow to act, but only engaged in small actions, was because he did not have the money to support himself in a large-scale war.

If his treasure hunt is successful, then he can gather half of the pirates in the ocean and attack the Middle Boundary Island. When the time comes, even if you are on the Middle Boundary Island, I am afraid that you will not be able to stop that army.

If he gets the Middle Boundary Island, then in the ocean, he will control half of the sea area, and at that time, the ships going back and forth between the East and the West, whether they are merchant ships or passenger ships, will be exploited. ”
