Chapter 170: The Gloomy Wooden Chest

Nearly an hour later, the red sun was setting in the west, and at this time, a huge light was pulled up from the bottom, which was a diesel generator.

Zhang Changfu is an ordinary employee in the security company, and he also came when the company was first established, and he is one of Zhao Dahai's comrades-in-arms.

He drives a punch in front of him - usually by making a few holes in the area to be excavated in order to loosen the ground, and then the excavator digs it, so that it can do more with less

Suddenly I heard him gasp and shout,

"Mr. Wang, Brother Zhao, come here to take a look, my drill bit is empty, and there really seems to be one in front of... Hole"

Hearing this, everyone stopped what they were doing and walked over to take a look

I saw that the drill bit was withdrawn, and a black hole appeared in front of it, and the sound of everyone's rapid breathing was reflected in the mouth of the cave, which was amplified, as if the sound of whirring wind came from inside.

I took a flashlight and shone it, but I couldn't find the edge in the dark

Wang Chao asked everyone to continue digging forward and expand the hole.

Seeing the cave below, everyone was also happy, and they were busy for a while, expanding the entrance to about three meters in length and width, and stopped this time.

At this time, the sun had already set over the mountain, and this hole was more than 20 meters underneath, and naturally there was no light from above, all relying on the lighting and the flashlight prepared in advance in everyone's hands, and the top lamp on the helmet.

Wang Chao didn't let everyone go in lightly, but took out a piece of paper from his pocket, asked people to light it with a lighter, and gently threw it inside.

The paper was extinguished before it was finished, and it was estimated that it was either short of water and oxygen or damp, so everyone was asked to go up one after another, and wait for tomorrow.

At dinner, everyone sat around and talked about what was in the cave below

"Call me to say. I'm afraid it's in the sea, you must know that this island itself is in the sea, and the hole under it will not reach anywhere."

"I don't think so, it may be that our ancestors dug a hole in advance, and some treasures were placed in it"

"Pull it down, baby, who digs a hole in this nameless island in the middle of nowhere, in case he is not careful and is infiltrated by the sea and drowned? No matter how good the baby is, it's going to be blind, you don't see how deep it is, it's already below sea level."

"I think it's a naturally formed hole. When the earth's crust moved, you didn't see, how deep the hole was dug, and I didn't find a door, who hid things and didn't leave the door, how can I get in if I dig in the future?"

……

Everyone was arguing endlessly, and everyone said their own reasoning, but everyone's speculation had a reason to be refuted by others, so they made a fuss. In the end, it didn't come to fruition.

"Don't make any noise, don't care what's down there, just go in tomorrow and take a look, okay, I'm tired all day today." Go to bed early."

Zhao Dahai spoke, which stopped these people's discussions, and before long, there were earth-shattering snoring sounds in all rooms. came and went, stirring Wang Chao, who was already sleepy, even more unable to sleep.

By looking at the light on the lighthouse, Wang Chao walked to the beach. At this time, the sea is already at high tide, crashing against the beach, the waves in front have just disappeared, and there is a row of piles in the back, layer upon layer, endless.

After sitting for a while, he began to sit cross-legged with his eyes and nose, nose and mouth, and his divine consciousness entered the Sky Watching Tower to visualize and cultivate

Maybe it's because the air on this island is good, as soon as I entered the Sky Watching Tower, I found that the speed of visualization and cultivation was obviously much faster than outside, and the divine consciousness that had been stuck in the second layer for a long time seemed to have a breakthrough, and the huge turtle became clearer, and the eyes and faces on the huge turtle head seemed to be open, and inadvertently a lightning bolt struck in the divine consciousness, and the gray sky in front of me was much clearer in an instant.

Before he had time to ask the reason for peeping into the sky, Wang Chao fell into a deep level of visualization cultivation

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang......

There was a cry in his ears, he opened his eyes, and found that the sky had already brightened, the red sun gave birth to the sea level, Zhao Dahai was calling himself beside him, and the others had not woken up yet, there was a trace of blood in his eyes, it seemed that he had not slept all night last night, and he was by his side.

"Hehe, Brother Zhao, I'm settled at night"

"It's okay, I've always heard Master talk about entering the meditation before, but the master can't do it for so long, hehe, if you don't say that your kung fu is progressing fast, this kung fu alone is not something that ordinary people can do, this whole night, your body didn't even shake, and I thought it was a reef from a distance, admire"

Wang Chao smiled slightly, noncommittal, "Brother Zhao, you haven't slept all night, go and lie down in the room for a while."

"I don't sleep, I don't have the habit of sleeping during the day, I just have to punch"

After speaking, he opened the shelf, faced the salty sea breeze blowing, played his own Bajiquan, practiced to the excitement, took off his shirt, pants, and shoes, and jumped into the sea, only showing his head on the water, waving and kicking his hands and feet below.

When Wang Chao saw him like this, he suddenly remembered the appearance of Yang Guo in "The Condor Heroes" written by Mr. Jin Yong, and couldn't help but take off his clothes, wearing only shorts, and jumping into the sea to fight his waves.

I didn't know if I didn't try, but when I got to the water, I found that the buoyancy of the sea water was too great, and if I didn't have a horse under my feet, I couldn't stand on it at all

He took a deep breath, tied up his horse steps under his feet, and practiced the Five Elements Fist and the Twelve-Shaped Body Method in the water, and after the practice, almost the last bit of strength in his body was drained.

walked to the shore and rested for a while, at this time Zhao Dahai had already come up, and he couldn't stand it after staying underwater for less than half an hour.

Wheezing for half a while, and then walked into the water, this time practicing Tai Chi, following the waves, with softness and softness, the body did not emit any force, all by the waves, and then in a small area to properly guide the waves, wave to wave, I didn't expect to cause a huge whistling sound.

At this point, Wang Chao completely understood the situation when Mr. Jin Yong described Yang Guo practicing the Ecstasy Palm in the seawater, not only was he a little shocked in his heart: Could it be that his old man really understands boxing? Or did you really try it in seawater? Otherwise, how could it be possible to write a novel that corresponds to the facts out of thin air

With this slip in his head, his subordinates were a little slower, and the original waves lost their strength support, and they were suddenly "captured" by the new waves, becoming new waves, impacting the beach.

Wang Chao came to his senses and saw Zhao Dahai on the shore pointing at himself with one hand and covering his mouth with one hand. There was a look of horror on his face - he knew that he was stunned by the situation he had made

So I calmed down and practiced again in the waves.

This time, after knowing that you can't directly confront the waves in the seawater, but practice your own Tai Chi, you simply close your eyes, follow the waves, ten fingers drive your wrists, your wrists drive your hands, your hands drive your arms, and your arms connect your shoulders, and for a moment it seems that there are thousands of troops around you. With his own gesture in the forward rush forward.

This feeling in the water lasted for nearly two hours, during which time everyone else had already woken up, and Zhao Dahai forbade them to make loud noises and let them cook and eat quietly.

But almost all of these people are practitioners, and even two of them are still his junior disciples, so after seeing Wang Chao practicing in the seawater, he couldn't help but stare blankly.

Until the red sun rises, the strength of the body gradually disappears, and the stomach gurgles. Wang Chao came to his senses from this realm of forgetting about things and me, retracted his moves, walked to the shore, and turned his head to look at the rough sea.

There was a long whistling sound, which was carried far and far through the waves.

This long howl lasted for two minutes, and it was not until the last breath of turbid air in his chest was spit out that Wang Chao stopped the howling. Standing by the sea with his hands behind his back, as if he were a peerless master—actually. With his martial arts kung fu, it seems that he can also be called a peerless master in the current world.

"Hehe, let everyone laugh, it was also a whim, I practiced kung fu for a while, okay, let's eat quickly, and enter the cave immediately after eating"

……

After eating breakfast in a hurry, except for one person who stayed on it, the others went down to a deep hole of more than 20 meters with first-aid supplies such as ropes, flashlights, and gas masks.

When they came to the entrance of the cave yesterday, they asked everyone to enlarge and strengthen the hole with a shovel, and then put on a gas mask, and they were the first to take the lead into the cave.

The hole is very high and large, and the opening seems to be in the middle and lower part of the hole, not the bottom of the hole, so it is not possible to jump directly down.

The people tied one end of the life-saving rope to the construction vehicle, grabbed the rope and slowly slid down, and slid down about five or six meters before stepping on the ground.

Maybe this hole has been underground for too long, the underground is damp, and you can step on the water when you stomp your feet, and you can step on the water when you look up with a flashlight, and you can see that this big hole is semicircular as a whole, and you can use your eyes to do a lot of it, and this hole is about ten meters high.

A strong flashlight shone on the cave wall, and there were obvious traces of public digging and excavation in it.

At this time, the people at the entrance of the cave all slid down the rope, and the hole became brighter.

There is a high platform in the middle of the hole, nearly two meters high, more than ten meters in length and width, I walked in and looked at it, and touched it with my hand, and I found that this square platform was actually made of stone, which was obviously made of man.

Wang Chao asked everyone not to rush to the stage, but to search slowly in the cave to see if there were any written records or anything like that, and he circled around the stage.

On the left side of the platform, there are five steps, which are also made of stones, and there are five steps, and when you go up the steps, you gently pat them with a shovel in your hand, worrying that there will be a mechanism or something like that.

It's just a pure stone staircase, and you can climb the stone platform smoothly.

Because the platform was too high, I didn't see it clearly under the platform, and when I climbed the stone platform, I found that there were dozens of wooden boxes neatly placed here.

Wang Chao waved his hand for everyone to come up, turned on the lights and counted carefully.

There are a total of 55 boxes on the table, all of which are of average size, 50 centimeters high, about 40 centimeters wide, and 30 centimeters high.

Squatted down and touched the box with his hand, the box was heavy and wet, as if soaked in water, and scratched it with his fingernails, but there was no trace of the box.

"This box, won't it all..." Wang Chao thought of a possibility, and his heart beat fiercely.

Gloomy wood, Sichuan people call it ebony, it is Nanmu, red toon, hemp willow and other trees 2,000 to 10,000 years ago, by earthquakes, floods, mudslides and other natural disasters, all buried in the ancient riverbed and other low-lying places. Some trees buried in the silt are formed by the carbonization process of thousands or even tens of thousands of years under the action of bacteria and other microorganisms under the condition of lack of oxygen and high pressure, so they are also called "carbonized wood".

Due to the different tree species, the market value is different, the gloomy wood formed by the golden silk nanmu of the genus Nanmu is the most expensive, up to 30 to 500,000 yuan a cubic meter, and the older the age, the better the preservation, the higher the price, so since ancient times, there is a saying that "even if there is a box full of gold, it is not as good as the ebony side". Gloomy wood is a treasure left by nature to human beings, and it is a scarce resource that cannot be renewed.

There was a news on the Internet, when someone in Jiangxi excavated the river sand, he found a gloomy wood about 20 meters long and about 2 meters in diameter, weighing about 80 tons.

With excitement, Wang Chao checked one box after another, and sure enough, as he expected, these fifty-five boxes, all made of gloomy wood, are not only for it, but these boxes alone are not too valuable.

"Who the hell dug the hole and stored these boxes?" Everyone was puzzled

"Mr. Wang, the wood of this box is so strange, in this dark underground, I don't know how many years, it is said that the wood has long been rotten and broken, but this box is still not moving, what kind of wood is this?" Someone asked

"If my guess is right, this should be ebony, this kind of wood is suitable for a humid environment, but too dry will affect its material, generally soaked in water can be put for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years will not rot"

"Hiss", this person not only gasped, "If this is used to make a coffin, it will definitely be well preserved"

As soon as he said this, the others felt a cold air rising from the back of their necks, and he was also kicked twice, and finally closed the "crow's mouth"

Wang Chao moved it with his hands, it was so heavy, he felt a little strained with his strength, the others couldn't move, and the two of them couldn't lift it, not only secretly smacking the weight of the box, could it be that there were stones in the box? Or something like an iron ingot?

The light here is not good, Wang Chao didn't hurry to open these boxes, picked up a box and moved it to the hole, asked the people above to put down the hanging basket, put the box in, and slowly pulled it to the ground.

Almost all the others carried a box in three people, and even then they were tired and sweaty.

It took two hours to move the fifty-five boxes, and then they fell to the ground one by one, panting for breath. (To be continued......)
