Chapter 5 Underwater Canyons

(Thank you for the reward of the handsome guy who reads the book, there is really no manuscript at present, and the current release of the book has 360,000 words, but the date of the shelf has not been determined, and two a day is the limit.) When it hits the shelves, I'll make it up to everyone. )

During the massacre of the Umayyad family after the Abbasids overthrew the Umayyad dynasty, Abdulrahman I fled from present-day Syria to Córdoba, Spain, where he established the post-Umayyad period.

During this period, many Umayyad gold ornaments were melted down by the Abbasids and new ones were made, so there are not many artifacts from that period, either in Europe or in Arab countries.

1,200 years have passed, and now these cultural relics are all of great value. The lamp was sold in a hurry by the British tourist, and it is said that it sold for only 30,000 pounds, but then at auction, it was auctioned for more than 1 million dollars.

The cheapest were the more than 400 first-generation gold dinars in this box of treasures, and although they were rare, they were only auctioned for a few thousand dollars each, worth almost two million dollars.

Zhou You did not wipe off the attachments on the outside of the golden lamp, and these attachments were also a kind of protection for the golden lamp. But from the light revealed, Zhou You became more confident in his treasure hunting operation.

Unfortunately, until he ran out of oxygen, he never found anything again, and the greater part of the treasure still didn't know where to hide.

It's three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is shining, and the temperature on the sea is extremely hot. Most of the tourists enjoy the sea breeze on the beach, and only a few tourists are able to ride the sea on a motorboat.

However, the ** concept of Westerners is very sufficient, and they are not invited, and even if someone passes by the side of the boat, he leaves quickly, and no one pays attention to his boat.

Hiding under a parasol is like staying in a steamer.

Zhou You leaned weakly on the seat of the jet ski and fell into the memory.

It was also British tourists who discovered the golden lantern in the first place, and then it caused the treasure hunting fever. It is only recorded that Cantor obtained most of the treasure, but how he obtained it is not explained.

Almost all the people who traveled around this area of water were surveyed, except for a few underwater cracks, could it be that the box was stuck in the cracks?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it made sense.

Because of such a large box, if it were on the water, I am afraid that it would have been damaged a long time ago, and the box would have broken and floated.

Only if it gets stuck in the cracks of the mountain rock, it will sink until now.

Zhou You thought about it and decided to go back and have a good rest for a day, and continue to fish for treasure tomorrow, this time focusing his attention on a few cracks.

Wrapped the golden lamp in his T-shirt, Zhou You put it in the nylon bag he had brought, drove the boat on the sea for a while, and let the sea breeze cool down his hot body before returning to the shore.

The young Spanish man at the charter office saw Zhou You coming back and asked curiously, "I see your boat has been parked over there, are you surveying the underwater environment?" ”

Zhou You handed him a ten-dollar tip and said, "There are a few underwater mountain fissures over there, and they are very interesting inside." I'm going to continue my expedition tomorrow, this is a good set, you want to help me stay. ”

He took the tip and said happily, "Okay, I'll do what you want." Do I need to replace my gas cylinders? ”

"Of course, continue to help me prepare four cylinders tomorrow, and I may continue to soak for another day."

He lowered his voice and said, "For a consumer like yours, I think it would be more cost-effective for you to rent a manpower boat, because you haven't driven most of the time." ”

Zhou You laughed and said, "For me, this money is not a burden at all, do you understand?" ”

But when he returned to the room, Zhou You regretted what he had just said. Although the environment on the island is much better than in Spain, there are also many thieves and swindlers.

If the young man just now was the eyes and ears of a certain criminal gang, he would have been targeted by them if he spent money so lavishly.

After thinking about it for a while, he packed his bank card, passport and other documents in a waterproof bag and carried them with him at any time. When you go out tomorrow, your passport can be stored, and you can bring your bank card and cash directly.

But this golden lamp is troublesome, such a valuable item, you don't feel at ease to store yourself, and it's not convenient to take it with you, it seems that you can only stay in the room and don't go out.

A single negligence put himself in passivity, and Zhou You was quite dissatisfied with his appearance.

Maybe it's because the treasure has been settled, and my mentality is a little unbalanced, but these can't be a reason for my own expansion.

In the future, I will face countless complicated situations, and if I can't control my mentality, then there will be times when I will suffer even more.

I took a copy of the yellow pages of the phone from the front desk, and Zhou You made several calls in a row, determined his goal, and returned the yellow pages.

Sleeping this night, Zhou You didn't dare to open the window anymore, he wasn't afraid of a thief, even if there was a thief, he wouldn't be able to steal something in front of him.

What he is afraid of is that if there is a thief and a dispute over right and wrong, it will have an impact on his treasure hunting plan tomorrow.

After closing the doors and windows, Zhou You closed the curtains and did not turn off the lights, but let the lights in the room turn on all night.

In the wee hours of the morning, he heard the creeping of doors and windows, but with a loud shout, the sound quickly faded away.

Zhou You didn't want to do much, so he didn't even get up from the bed and continued to sleep.

Early the next morning, Zhou You deposited his documents at the service desk, loaded his cash and bank cards on himself, and came to the diving equipment rental department again.

"Bring me that plastic box, I found a lot of lobsters during my dive yesterday, and if I'm lucky today, I might come across it again, then I'll have a good night."

The young man still had a humble and gentle attitude, smiled and flattered him, and helped him get a blue plastic box for seafood.

In the face of this object of suspicion, he did not have any expression, did not even dare to let him know that he had cash on his body, and quietly carried all the equipment to his ship.

He didn't want to be caught on his own boat and stolen all the cash while he was diving.

Even if he knew that he and his accomplices did it, Zhou You would not touch him for the time being, and at this time, there was nothing more important than treasure.

Like yesterday, Zhou You came to the diving position again, and he didn't leave anything on the boat. He packed the cash and bank cards in a waterproof bag, stuffed them into the pocket of his wetsuit, and pulled the pocket up.

The golden lamp that was found yesterday, he also loaded it up and hung it on his waist. If he could find that box of treasure today, he would have put the golden lamp with them.

Yesterday's exploration gave him a good understanding of this sea area, so today his attention is mainly focused on the two underwater canyon cracks discovered yesterday.

These two cracks, one is relatively wide, and the top is almost seven or eight meters wide, and the situation inside is not well understood. There is also a narrower one, only two or three meters wide, which is a crack in the limestone that has been washed by the mountain after years of ocean currents.

Therefore, this kind of crack still has a certain danger, because no one knows that the rock will not be able to resist a little external force and collapse directly.

The lower the visibility became, and when I dived to a depth of five or six meters, I turned on the searchlight overhead and got into the kelp.

Kelp is the most common creature in the ocean, just like the weeds on land.

Ibiza is a protected area, and there are no fishermen who come to harvest the kelp. Due to the high cost of labor, the staff of the tourist office will only clean up the kelp with a seaweed cleaning boat instead of harvesting it by hand.

It is probably for this reason that this treasure near the shore has never been discovered.

Due to the abundance of kelp, it is also a lot more troublesome to swim underwater. And in the gloomy sea water, the black shadow in front of you, the soft kelp swaying with the current, if you are not psychologically strong, you will be afraid when you see such a scene.

However, the courage to travel has long been trained, and in his previous life in Ireland, he once participated in the salvage of a World War II-era transport ship.

On that ship, however, there were nearly 200 dead people who had been sleeping in the sea for 70 years.

More than 200 skeletons, still in the closed environment of the shipwreck, when the cabin is cut open, the closed space enters a new current, and the skeletons in the cabin wearing clothes will float with it, that kind of scene is enough to scare many people to death.

After experiencing that salvage operation, Zhou You no longer has a psychological shadow on the dead and the grave, because these have become pediatric for him.

He quickly swam to the large crack he had discovered yesterday, which was his main target for the day.

The crack that was two or three meters wide was too narrow, and it was not satisfactory for a fully armed person like Zhou You to dive now.

Even his diving skills are difficult, and even more so for a non-professional. Cantor is a DJ, just a diving enthusiast, and he can find this treasure from the bottom of the water and salvage it, according to his travels, it should not be the small crack.

Diving down from above the crevasse, there is no kelp, but there is a more Posidonia seaweed.

This seagrass is a specialty of the Mediterranean Sea and is not only the longest-lived life form known to man, but also the largest. It grows from Spain all the way to Cyprus and spans 3,500 kilometers. Surprisingly, 15 kilometers of seagrass share the same DNA, which means that the 15 kilometers of seagrass are just one plant.

The world is so big that there are no surprises, and when you first know it, you are very surprised, but when you see the real thing, it is the same as the weeds on the ground.

Since this seaweed is generally no more than a meter tall, once you enter the crevasse, your vision is much broader, and it is easier to explore than outside.

A seaweed bush was opened, and seven or eight anemones came out of it at once, which calmed down the enthusiasm of traveling around the treasure hunt.

He didn't dare to move at once, calmed down, and slowly retreated.

The beautiful little anemones in front of them are highly poisonous, although they don't even have brains, they can only fight or run away instinctively, but because of this, this brainless animal is terrifying, because no one can tell what they will do next.
