After eating, Zhao Mingyang began to understand the mechanism box again. Music + Literature + Novel w.xs520.The mind is highly concentrated and the brain is also running rapidly, using his computing speed comparable to that of a computer to deduce step by step how to unlock this box. Sweat was already oozing from his forehead, and he was finally about to finish the last step after more than two hours. Everyone looked at the trap box intently, and even Yang Zhi, who was sitting there drowsy, came to his senses, staring at the trap box without blinking.

With a "click", the last step is completed. A complete Bagua diagram appeared on the box, and the eight characters that relatively represented the Bagua, Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Xun, and Dui, also returned to their original positions.

Li Xiaotian took the lead and pounced and said excitedly: "Fame, hurry up and open it and take a look!" Look what's hidden inside! If it's a celebrity calligraphy and painting, then send it! He really guessed it, and there was a book and a picture in it. To be precise, it contains a codex of celebrities and a nautical chart.

Zhao Mingyang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! Chen Le, you go and bring the bottle of antacid solution I bought, mix half of the water in it and pour it into the watering can. Chen Le nodded and went to do it. Li Xiaotian scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Seeing that I was so excited to visit, I forgot such an important thing." Xiao Han asked puzzledly: "Brother Li, what is the matter?" Li Xiaotian explained: "Brother and sister, you don't know that anything that has not seen air for too long cannot be opened directly, otherwise it will be oxidized and destroyed." The antacid solution bought by Mingyang is to be sprayed on it so that it will not be oxidized too quickly. ”

Xiao Han nodded understandingly, and Chen Le also took the antacid solution at this time. Zhao Mingyang took the antacid solution and carefully opened the box, which was only about a foot long and more than ten centimeters thick. When I opened it, I saw a wrap of oilcloth and sprayed it with antacid. I opened it lightly and saw a codex. I saw that the four characters of the Three Treasures Codex were written on it. I sprayed some antacid on it again, and waited until it was almost dry before gently turning the first page.

It turned out to be a book similar to a nautical diary, which recorded Zheng He's encounters and observations on his seven voyages to the West. There is a passage in it that intrigues Zhao Mingyang. It probably means that when Zheng He went to the Western Ocean for the second time, when the fleet was passing through the waters of the current Bahamas and the western Pacific Ocean to prepare for the return voyage, he suddenly encountered a storm and waves, which lasted for three days and three nights. After three days and three nights, the wind and rain stopped, but they unexpectedly found a large island. It's as big as a continent. The most surprising thing is that there are a large number of shipwrecks near this island, which is full of gold, silver and all kinds of precious stones.

Zheng He was pleasantly surprised by this discovery, and Zheng He thought: If you can bring these gold and silver back to the Ming Dynasty, then how powerful the Ming will be! So Zheng He didn't think about it, so he ordered the fleet to dock and go to the island to carry the gold. Just as they loaded a small amount of gold onto the ship, the unexpected happened! From afar, a group of fierce beasts came, the smallest of which was a few zhang high, and the largest one was several zhang or dozens of zhang high, and their bodies were huge, strong and powerful. In desperation, Zheng He could only send troops to attack and kill. After losing thousands of more elite soldiers, they had to withdraw to the ship. Avoided them from afar.

In the months that followed, whenever men were sent ashore, the beasts would appear. In desperation, there was no choice but to return. Next time, bring more and more advanced weapons and people, and then collect these gold and silver. But what makes Zheng He wonder is why he didn't find it here last time he came. Why is all the stuff of positioning here failing. Could it be that this is the legendary Penglai Immortal Island! Otherwise, how could there be so many fierce beasts guarding them!

But when I think about it, I don't think it's right. Isn't Penglai Immortal Island supposed to be in the East China Sea? How could it be here! But if it's not Penglai Immortal Island, who will make the golden palace on the island? Zheng He really couldn't figure out who could use gold as a palace, pearls, agate to pave the way, and all kinds of gems inlaid everywhere except immortals. Even the powerful Ming Dynasty can't do this!

Zheng He left here full of doubts and puzzles. After months of aimless sailing, he finally returned to the Atlantic. As a result, he was able to smoothly return to the Ming Dynasty. Back in the Ming Dynasty, it was already July of the seventh year of Yongle. Zheng He didn't have time to think about anything before he entered the palace and told Ming Chengzu Zhu Di about it, and Zhu Di was also surprised when he heard about it, so he ordered him to bring more people and horses next time he went to sea, and he must find the island.

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di ordered all the crew members to be dumb in order to keep his mouth shut, and asked Zheng He not to disclose any news to the outside world. For those soldiers who died in battle, the Foreign Propaganda Department was killed in the war by encountering pirates and helping other small countries change their regimes. After that, there was the famous Zheng He's seven voyages to the West. In fact, Zheng He's last five trips to the Western Ocean were in search of the Golden Island. And this codex and map were written down and sealed in a secret box after Zheng He's seventh search was fruitless and he was seriously ill, so that future generations could find and find the Golden Island and fulfill his wish. The date of the final ending is June of the eighth year of Xuande.

After reading the codex, he took out the chart, which was the second time Zheng He drew a chart from memory, near the time he went to sea and encountered wind and waves. Because the chart was drawn on sheepskin, and because it was too old to become blurry, it was useless to have this chart!

After reading this, everyone was embarrassed, it turned out that the famous Zheng He went to the West seven times to find this golden island! Li Xiaotian asked excitedly: "Fame, do you say that Golden Island really exists?" Zhao Mingyang smiled and said, "What! You're really going to find that so-called Golden Island! Even if it really exists, it's been hundreds of years, and no one has found it, so you should be so easy to find! If it was really that easy to find, I am afraid that it would have been discovered long ago, and the gold on the island would have been emptied long ago! ”

Li Xiaotian smiled and scratched his head embarrassedly. Xiao Han asked, "Mingyang, what do you think those fierce beasts are?" I think it might be a dinosaur! And that island could be the Atlantis! Zhao Mingyang smiled and nodded: "Maybe!" Who knows? I'm also interested in these curios! ”

Hearing Zhao Mingyang say this, Yang Zhi said, "Young Master, today is Saturday. There is an antique night market near Yangzhou Stadium! Shall we go and have a look? ”
