Chapter 434 [Spansay Treasure Map]

Instead of letters written in ink, the sharkskin scrolls show words and patterns imprinted on the sharkskin's skin with a soldering iron. The pen is www.biquge.info very complicated, and Yang Yong doesn't know what the words are on it, it looks like Latin, especially the small nautical chart made of a soldering iron at the end of the scroll. There are a number of islands in the sea that have their names marked, the largest of which is at the foot of a hill marked with an X line of letters.

Yang Yong didn't recognize the words on the scroll, and looking at the things presented on this scroll, Yang Yong also felt more and more like a treasure map. As soon as he thought of the three words of the treasure map, Yang Yong's adrenaline began to soar, and he was about to burst into tears with excitement. As the Yang family's business gradually got on track, Yang Yong's chances of personally selling Taobao plummeted.

Those underground vaults that satisfy curiosity and the desire to explore have not been encountered in months. Unexpectedly, he actually participated in a charity auction and bought a strange Buddha statue and found a treasure map hundreds of years ago, which made Yang Yong's pent-up exploration and curiosity for several months begin to run upward. I couldn't hold it back, I was trembling with excitement, and I smoked two cigars in a row to calm down my excitement.

Then I use the computer to look up what the text on the sharkskin scroll is, what does it mean. Thank God, thank you to the gods and Buddhas in the world that there is an omniscient and omniscient encyclopedia of the Internet. After careful inquiry, Yang Yong learned that the writing on the sharkskin scroll was indeed ancient Latin, which was a very obscure way of writing and language. Nowadays, very few people can speak ancient Latin and understand ancient Latin, even using the omniscient Google query, Yang Yong can't figure out what kind of hints are written in these places.

There was no way, Yang Yong could only find another way and start playing bounty. Offering a $5,000 reward on the Internet for translating a passage of ancient Latin text and the meaning of the English written text, Yang Yong broke up 100 short sentences from the ancient Latin on the sharkskin scroll in order to keep it secret. And each phrase is not connected to each other, and to outsiders, the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth.

But Yang Yong marked the ranking order of the short sentences on the split short sentences, and after understanding the meaning of all the short sentences, they were ranked in the order of the short sentences, and a complete treasure map text information would appear in front of Yang Yong. It's complicated to say, in fact, it is some text code words, and only the mother book that has mastered the code language can be compared with the translated meaning of the short sentence and summarized into a complete article.

Yang Yong offered a reward of 5,000 US dollars on the Internet for every sentence, which only Yang Yong's net worth can do. If there are more than 100 sentences of ancient Latin in the whole article, then the cost of translating a 100-sentence ancient Latin text is more than 500,000 dollars. Only a person like Yang Yong who takes money and doesn't pay money, would he be willing to spend such a big price? Translating a treasure map whose authenticity cannot be determined.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and there is no more tempting existence in the money society than money. In the eyes of college students, the reward of 5,000 dollars is equivalent to a lottery ticket falling from the sky, solving half a year's living expenses. Therefore, after posting the bounty announcement on major websites, someone took it more than three hours and sent all the translated ancient Latin and English comparisons to Yang Yong.

And Yang Yong still kept his word, as long as the translation was correct, Yang Yong would transfer 5,000 yuan to the other party's designated account. It took three hours to translate all the ancient Latin with more than 100 sentences, and then Yang Yong began to arrange the translated Latin according to the number of short sentences.

It took ten minutes for Yang Yong to understand all the information about the treasure map, yes, this is the treasure map, and the name of the maker of the treasure map is very strange, called Spencer. It is the captain of a pirate ship called the Greek Outlaw, the name of the Greek Outlaw is really weird, but Yang Yong can also understand that pirates, especially the Caribbean pirates in ancient times, have a few cultures. Not to mention the name, it can be seen from the name of the pirate ship that the captain of the Greek outlaw pirate ship, or most of the people are descendants of Greece, and the pirates are all outlaws, so they took such a strange name.

The name is the Greek Outlaw pirate ship, which was active in 1725 in the Caribbean and Atlantic Seas. Raided and robbed some passing merchant ships, and achieved remarkable results, accumulating a lot of gold and precious treasures over the years. As the saying goes, there is no way to walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, and it is very unfortunate that when robbing a Spanish gold ship, you encountered an escort fleet.

Even though the Greek Outlaw was fast and had a shallow draft, it was fatally wounded, with most of the crew killed in the battle, and even the captain was seriously wounded. Unable to fear the retaliation of the Spanish fleet, which was then called the Armada, he fled to a lair known only to the crew to recuperate.

However, the captain who was seriously injured, and most of the crew were still not at ease, and all the treasures accumulated over the years of looting were loaded into the cabin of the Greek Outlaw. Sail into the Caribbean Sea with a shipload of gold and silver treasures, and on a deserted island that no one knows, hiding the gold, silver and jewels that the Greek outlaws have plundered for more than ten years.

But unexpectedly, on the issue of burying or not burying the treasure, the pirates had infighting, and some disagreed to bury the treasure on the desert island. The gold, silver and jewels that these pirates had looted from their lives and deaths should be divided equally, and then flee back to Europe to live a quiet rich life. However, the captain agreed to bury the treasure on a desert island, and then return to take the treasure and return to their respective hometowns to live a stable life.

One side now wants to share the money and go home, and the local government will divide the money when the limelight passes, and there is no room for reconciliation at all, so there is infighting between the two sides. In the end, it was the captain who led a group of pirates to emerge victorious, burying the treasure in a natural cave on a desert island, and then using hammerhead sharks to make a treasure map with a soldering iron.

He then piloted the badly damaged Greek Virate Ship Outlaw to return to Cuba, which was then a base camp for pirates, to recuperate. However, unexpectedly, the badly injured Greek Outlaw pirate ship did not withstand the devastation of the wind and waves, and unfortunately sank at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea. Only the captain with his broken leg survived with the treasure map, climbed a plank and fluttered back to Cuba.

The captain returned home after nine deaths, and had just hidden the treasure map of the sand fish skin in the Buddha statue he had made himself before he was captured by the Royal Spanish Navy. He was hanged at the hands of Spain, and it is easy to explain why the captain of the Greek outlaw hid the shark skin treasure map in a Buddha statue. Because both Catholics and Christians regard Buddhism as idolatry, the strange shape of the Buddha statue in the eyes of these Westerners is a kind of devil's statue.

It's good if you don't use it to split it into firewood, and no one will take the Buddha statue carved from wood back home and collect it, so why has the Buddha statue survived after hundreds of years? At that time, because the captain of the pirate ship had some brains, he carved a Buddha statue from precious agarwood, although the Buddha statue was not valuable, but the wood was valuable, so it was kept.

This is why this Buddha statue carved from agarwood is so strange, and in many details it does not conform to the aesthetic views of the Orientals. and the Buddha carving technique, and even the Buddha face is carved into a square, instead of a very rounded Buddha shape.
