The fishing boat sailed to the island in the sea ahead, and the scenery of the island became clearer and clearer.

The island is oval-shaped, with a small hill to the east and a wooded and green hill to the west, a sloping hill that stretches for several meters to the sea on the west coast.

After a short time, the fishing boat reached the west shore of the island, and a golden sand beach appeared in front of me, and the beach was empty.

It seems to be a desert island.

As soon as the fishing boat landed, Liu Xing immediately jumped from the deck to the beach.

The sand was very soft, Liu Xing walked a few steps and looked ahead, not far away was a small green hillside, in which some unknown wildflowers and small saplings grew.

The hillside is very large, with an area of more than 100,000 square meters, which is larger than 10 football fields. At the back of the hill is a sickle-shaped hill about 150 meters above sea level, which stands like an unfurled canvas on the east side of the island.

Seeing this sickle-shaped hill, Liu Xing's brows moved slightly, and there was also a sickle-shaped hill on the island where the protagonist of "Note 04" went!

The only difference is that the sickle-shaped hill in "Book Tomb Notes 04" is about 200 meters above sea level, which seems to be dozens of meters higher than the hill in front of you.

In addition, the foot of the island in "Book Tomb Notes 04" is a small valley, but the foot of the island in front of you is a small slope with a sloping slope, and the terrain is quite different.

"Boss Liu, this island is called 'Cradle Island', and it has been abandoned for more than a year. At this time, the old fisherman Ning Fucai also got off the boat. The Ning family has been fishing for a living for generations, and they are naturally no strangers to the islands in the nearby waters.

"Cradle Island?" Liu Xing was curious, "This island doesn't look like a cradle, how can it be named 'Cradle Island'?"

"The origins of Cradle Island go back eight years. "About eight years ago, a group of civilians lived on this island, making a living from fishing, and our ancestors of the Ning family also lived on this island at that time. As the water level in the East China Sea rises year by year, much of the land on the west coast of the island is gradually submerged. Fishermen on the island then began to reclaim the sea. They dug up sand from the mountains on the east shore of the island and filled it into the valley on the west shore of the island. The reclamation project lasted about 400 years, and thanks to the joint efforts of more than a dozen generations of fishermen, the land on the west side of the island was reclaimed by nearly 50 meters. The small valley turned into a small hillside. ”

Liu Xing suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that the elevation of the hill on the island in front of him had become lower, it turned out that the water level of the sea had risen, and the land on the west coast of the island had also been filled up.

"Since this group of fishermen has spent so much effort to fill the island, why is the island empty now?" Liu Xing was a little puzzled.

"The fishermen on the island have always lived here. It's just that then a strange thing happened on the island. ”

"Strange things?"

"Yes. More than 300 years ago, there was a sudden movement on the island, and when night fell, the ground of the island would shake violently, and the whole island would shake from side to side like a cradle, and many houses on the island would collapse. In just one month, the island shook several times, an average of a dozen times a day. A month later, the fishermen were forced to move off the island. After the news spread. This island is known as the 'Cradle Island'. ”

Sighing softly, Ning Fucai continued, "In the next two years or so, every once in a while, I could hear some rumors about the violent shaking of 'Cradle Island'. As a result, no one dared to live on Cradle Island. Over time, it became a desert island. ”

Liu Xing wondered: "How can Cradle Island shake violently?"

"I don't know. Ning Fucai said, "The strange shaking of Cradle Island is a rumor for several years, whether it is true or not, no one knows." I also listened to my grandfather. More than 10 years ago, geologists visited Cradle Island and found nothing unusual. Therefore, some experts believe that the rumors of Cradle Island may be a fiction. Not a fact. A few years ago, a real estate developer wanted to buy Cradle Island and prepare to build a villa area, but later gave up because of the fear that the island would shake. ”

After listening to Ning Fucai's words. Liu Xing couldn't help but be a little more curious about Cradle Island.

There seems to be a lot of stories to be told about this island.

After that, Liu Xing left the beach alone and went to the hillside in the middle of the island to carefully inspect the environment on the island.

Although Cradle Island has been transformed and the valley on the west coast of the island has been turned into a hillside, everything here still looks familiar.

After walking around the island, Liu Xing confirmed one thing - Cradle Island is the island where the fourth book tomb is buried!

If nothing else, the coffin should still be buried on the island.

However, it was daytime, and if the coffin was detected now, it would be easy to be discovered.

Liu Xing was going to wait for the evening to start probing.

After walking around the island, he returned to the beach on the west coast and found Ning's father.

"Boss Liu, are you going to spend the night on Cradle Island tonight?" Ning Fucai reminded, "Cradle Island is a desert island, where do you sleep?"

Liu Xing explained: "Don't worry, I brought a tent and a sleeping bag. ”

"Boss Liu, why don't we stay with you?"

"No need. You two will go back first, and then we will sail over to pick me up at noon tomorrow."

After explaining the matter, Ning Fucai and Ning Navigation left Cradle Island together in a fishing boat.

Liu Xing was the only one left on the island.

Soon, night fell.

When the sun sets over the sea, the island suddenly darkens.

There was silence all around, except for the low sound of the tide.

Carrying his backpack, Liu Xing walked alone on the hillside, and when he came to a lawn on the hillside, he stopped.

"That's pretty much the location. ”

Open the backpack and remove a wrapped coffin probe stick from the bag.

According to the memory information of "Book Tomb Note 04" in his mind, the coffin should be buried under this hillside, and he is going to explore it.

The coffin probe stick was inserted into the lawn of the hillside, and when the switch was pressed, wireless waves began to be emitted towards the ground.

After a minute, there was no response.

Moved a distance of two meters and changed a position, Liu Xing continued to detect.

Still no movement.

Helplessly, Liu Xing could only continue to change the location of the detection and constantly expand the scope of the detection.

After changing more than 50 positions in a row.

"Dididi!"

When the probe stick was inserted in a small patch of flowers on the hillside, a rapid alarm sounded, and the coffin trembled slightly.

Got it?

Liu Xing stared. I took a closer look at the small LCD screen on the detection stick, and saw a number displayed on the screen -- 56.

"The coffin is 56 meters underground?"

More than eight years ago, it was a small valley, and the coffin was buried in a tomb about seven meters deep in the valley. Now. The valley has been filled into a hillside and raised about 50 meters to a height.

As a result, the depth of the coffin in the ground became 56 meters.

Holding the detection stick, Liu Xing walked forward two meters and probed the ground again.

"Dididi!"

The coffin detector is still responding. The word "56" is still displayed on the LCD screen.

Liu Xing walked forward another two meters and made a probe for the first time.

"Dididi!"

When the alarm sounded for the first time, Liu Xing couldn't help frowning.

"Strange, I've moved 4 meters, how can I still detect the coffin? Is the coffin more than 4 meters long?"

The book coffin that Liu Xing found before was of the same size, about 2 meters long, about 1 meter wide, and 1 meter high.

The size of the coffin on the island seems to be different.

With questions, Liu Xing walked forward two meters more. The fourth exploration underground.

"Dididi!"

There is still an alarm!

This coffin is even bigger than expected, completely more than 6 meters!

Liu Xing didn't stop, and continued to walk forward, he wanted to know how long this coffin was.

After that, he measured it twice in a row, and he was able to detect the coffin underground, until he reached a range of 10 meters, and the detection stick finally stopped.

"The coffin is 10 meters long!"

Liu Xing was a little incredulous.

After probing the length of the coffin, he immediately began to probe the width of the coffin again, after several attempts. It was found that the width of the coffin was about 5 meters.

Tossing here, Liu Xing realized an incredible fact: the coffin under the island is about 10 meters long and 5 meters wide, and its volume is larger than the bed of a big truck!

"How can there be such a big coffin?"

Liu Xing's heart was full of doubts. The fourth coffin seems to be different from the previous one.

"Why is this coffin so big? How did it get in? Or ...... Is it after burying it that the coffin gets bigger?"

Liu Xing secretly pondered: Could it be that the volume of the coffin can change?

"If the coffin really gets bigger, what is the reason for it?"

At this time, Liu Xing suddenly remembered something.

This island had a violent tremor a few years ago, could it have something to do with the coffin?

The coffin is buried underground, and if the coffin volume changes. So when the coffin grows in size, the ground on the island will shake, right?

Could this be the reason for the violent shaking of the island?

The more Liu Xing thought about it, the more curious he became, no matter whether the shaking of Cradle Island was related to the coffin, he had to find a way to dig out the coffin and take a look.

It's just that the excavation of this coffin is probably much more complicated than imagined.

The coffin is not only buried deeply, at a position of 56 meters underground, but also the volume of the coffin is huge, and the weight may reach the level of 10,000 catties.

It was no small task to dig such a behemoth out of the island.

What's more, once you start digging, you are likely to be noticed by the outside world.

Although Cradle Island is a deserted island, the nearby waters are flooded by boats almost every day, and occasionally tourists come to visit the island.

If so, certain precautions are required.

"This is a desert island, anyone can come, it's a bit difficult to guard against it, unless it's ......"

Thinking of this, a thought flashed through Liu Xing's mind, "Unless you buy the island and manage it yourself." ”

If he buys Cradle Island, Liu Xing can refuse to allow other tourists to enter. At the same time, he can build a building on the island and then secretly dig up the coffin in the building to hide the eyes and ears of the people.

"Cradle Island is not a small area, if you buy it, it should cost a lot of money, right?"

In the nearby seas, there are dozens of islands, most of which have been bought and used to build island villas. There are many scholars with a net worth of hundreds of millions who like to live on islands.

Cradle Island has wooded hills, grassy slopes, and golden sandy beaches, making it a perfect setting for villas.

It's just that most people have heard rumors that Cradle Island will have strange vibrations, so they avoid Cradle Island.

After all, building a large villa on an island requires a lot of bonuses, in the hundreds of millions, and if something happens to the island, those investments can go down the drain.

It is for this reason that Cradle Island is still a desert island and no one cares about it.

However, this may be a good thing for Liu Xing.

Because no one wants to buy the island, it means that the price of the island may be relatively low.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing began to consider the feasibility of buying an island.

Putting the coffin detector stick into his backpack, Liu Xing found a clean lawn on the hillside and lay down directly.

The island in the middle of the night is exceptionally quiet, the sound of the tide on the sea not far away comes and goes, and the refreshing sea breeze blows from the hillside from time to time, Liu Xing's whole body relaxes.

"If you build a villa on an island, face the sea every day, and read, it seems quite comfortable......"

Liu Xing was thinking about it, when his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Liu Shiming's call.

"Liu Xing, it's 12 o'clock in the evening, why haven't you gone home yet?" came Liu Shiming's voice on the phone.

"Sister, I'm not going back tonight, I'm going to spend the night on the island. Liu Xing explained.

"Spend the night on the island?" Liu Shiming asked, "Where do you stay at night?"

"I brought a sleeping bag and a tent. ”

"You are really, why do you suddenly want to spend the night on the island?" Liu Shiming advised, "Ah Xing, be careful yourself, don't run around if you have nothing to do, the island is not safe." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not a child, I'll be fine......"

Rumble!

As soon as Liu Xing said this, at this time, a loud noise came from under the island, and the foot of the mountain under his feet trembled slightly, like an earthquake.

Liu Xing couldn't help but be stunned: the island ...... Shaking it!?

"Ah Xing, what's the sound?" Liu Shiming on the phone seemed to have noticed something abnormal.

"It's fine. The ground on the hillside was still shaking, Liu Xing remembered something, and asked, "Sister, are you ...... Is it okay there?"

"Of course it's fine"

Hearing Liu Shiming's answer, Liu Xing realized that the shaking of Cradle Island was not due to an earthquake.

If it is an earthquake, Tianhai City will also feel the earthquake.

There was no earthquake in Tianhai City, but the cradle island in front of me was shaking......

"There seems to be something wrong with this island. ”

The strange noise just now seemed to come from under the hillside, could it really be caused by the coffin?

The volume of the coffin isn't changing, is it?
