Chapter 301: Three-Dimensional Charts
The contents of the scroll are recorded in a nautical chart.
Of course, if you look at this chart for ordinary people, you will definitely not be able to understand it, and you will feel dizzy and messy.
But for Yu Xiaohu, who can understand the logs and chart records in the Fish and Dragon Chronicles, after just taking a look, the content on the chart is very clear.
This chart is very different from ordinary charts, it is old and ancient, and it looks like it was carefully drawn by ancient craftsmen by hand.
At first glance, the chart looks messy and confusing, but in fact, it is a three-dimensional chart.
Yes, some people may doubt whether the ancients were capable of constructing three-dimensional chart designs, that is, they did not know about some strange people in ancient times, but they thought that the level of technology in that era was low, and it was impossible to have such a level.
But in fact, Yu Xiaohu knew that the logs and some nautical charts recorded in the Fish and Dragon Chronicles, among which there were some remnants of three-dimensional nautical charts, and they were made by the ancestors of the Yu family.
And at this moment, the three-dimensional nautical chart in Yu Xiaohu's hand is a very complete world navigation chart, and the piece he contains is recorded on the Yu family's fish and dragon chronicles.
Moreover, Yu Xiaohu can understand the logo used on this scroll and the meaning of those lines, because this is a special identification method handed down by their Yu family ancestors, which has a great auxiliary role in navigation, and is also very practical in terms of confidentiality.
Yu Xiaohu didn't look closely at the signs and routes of other oceanic seas for the time being, but just saw that the multi-dimensional sea area full of dangers and mutated creatures that he had explored not long ago was also in it, and the coordinate position was marked with a very special mark, which represented a strange thing outside the sky.
Also, Yu Xiaohu swept a marker point corresponding to the southern part of the Pacific Ocean today, where a sign of a strange object was also drawn. There is also one near the Atlantic Ocean.
In addition, there are also treasure marks on the three-dimensional chart, and those treasures are uniformly identified with ingot-like patterns.
There was a place on it with an ingots pattern, and there was a place that Yu Xiaohu knew, where he had explored and excavated an ancient shipwreck. At the same time, it is also the location of the shipwreck when he found the red ink tiger jade and earned the first pot of gold.
Zhang Dexian saw that Yu Xiaohu's expression was constantly changing when he looked at the chart, and he knew that this son should have understood the content on the chart.
So Zhang Dexian said: "Xiaohu, can you understand this picture, is it related to what I said and your family's fish and dragon chronicles?" ”
Yu Xiaohu nodded and said, "That's right, I can understand this sea chart, because the drawing techniques used in this sea chart are from the hands of our Yu family ancestors." There are also a very small number of records in our Yu family's fish and dragon chronicles, and this is also a secret that only the head of our Yu family, that is, my grandfather, knows! ”
Grandma was surprised and said, "So, your grandfather has passed on all the qiē to you!" ”
"Exactly!" Yu Xiaohu nodded.
Zhang Dexian said: "Then do you know the origin of this nautical chart?" ”
Yu Xiaohu shook his head, although he was sure that this chart was hand-drawn by the ancestors of the Yu family, he still didn't understand why the Yu family didn't leave these related things.
Zhang Dexian said: "In fact, this chart was drawn by Zheng He's subordinates in the Ming Dynasty based on his impressions after returning from the sea with Zheng He many times. Maybe the capable person you were looking for at the beginning was an ancestor of your Yu family. The reason why your Yu family did not leave a record of the relevant words and sentences is probably because they were killed after the picture was drawn.
But this chart was handed down by Zheng He's subordinates, and there were many people involved, and he was also involved in a huge force established by Zheng He's subordinates at that time! ”
When Yu Xiaohu heard this, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and said, "This huge force in the rivers and lakes. Could it be the predecessor of the split Blue Dragon and the Blood Underworld? ”
Hearing this, my grandmother and uncle were very surprised.
Zhang Dexian nodded and said, "That's right, this huge Jianghu force was originally a secret organization established by Zheng He's subordinates who hid in the south when they were pursued and persecuted by the emperor's secret agents and Jinyi Guard, called Tianmen.
At first, they were trying to protect themselves. After evading the pursuit of the emperor's spies and Jinyiwei, and then the decadence of the country at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the development of the civil economy, most of the members of Tianmen were proficient in navigation, so they engaged in sea trade and business and accumulated huge wealth, which also made this organization grow rapidly.
Until after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Jiannu Tartar Emperor was afraid of the existence of the Heavenly Gate, and had carried out many encirclement and suppression......
Speaking of this, the uncle and grandfather looked at Yu Xiaohu's puzzled expression, and said: "You may wonder, Zheng He has been to the West many times, and his achievements are in the future, why after his death, those subordinates who once went to sea with him were killed by the emperor, which involves a secret of the treasure clues that the emperor of any dynasty is determined to obtain, that is, the jade seal of the country."
It is precisely because Zheng He went to sea many times and inadvertently obtained the secret of the clues about the jade seal of the country, the emperor mastered these clues, and naturally wanted to exterminate Zheng He's subordinates, even if it was the Qing Tartar Emperor, the same is true, but whoever is the emperor will not tolerate the clues of the jade seal of the country falling into the hands of any force or individual, they must find ways to eradicate and exterminate! ”
After saying this, Yu Xiaohu immediately understood some of the ins and outs of some of the things he had mastered.
After the successive emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties learned the secret of the clues about the jade seal of the country, they were naturally very afraid that the birth of this treasure would affect their rule, and they could not tolerate those clues being known by outsiders, even if it was just some clues, but if there were signs, they would try their best to erase them.
Therefore, the Tianmen forces established and inherited by Zheng He's subordinates will inevitably be feared by successive emperors, even if there is no trace of the jade seal of the country, but they must be just in case, they will naturally carry out endless encirclement and suppression of this organization.
In Yu Xiaohu's deep thought, his uncle and grandfather said: "Tianmen holds the secret of some clues about the jade seal of the country, and under the suppression of the emperors of the past dynasties, the 'dragon seal' was born in Tianmen, which is specially designed to protect and investigate the clues and secrets about the jade seal of the country from being taken by outsiders.
It was only in the late Qing Dynasty that the Taiping Rebellion occurred, which caused a branch of Tianmen to be involved in this whirlpool.
After that, Shenzhou Lu Shen, the internal contradictions of Tianmen finally broke out, and finally split to form two forces, the two sides were in the struggle, the dragon seal joined the green dragon because of Li Qinglong's promise, so that the strength of the green dragon greatly increased, forcing the blood to retreat to other sides, but to avoid the secret of the dragon seal being known by the blood and other forces, so Li Qinglong asked the Zhang family to guard the secret, and made a hundred years of covenant ......"
