Volume 3 The Ghost Boat of the Sand Sea Chapter 51 Cooperation
I shook my head and said, "What can I do, I haven't succeeded in getting out of school, so I have to go back to rest first." ”
"Hey~ Since you've come here, how can you go back with a little setback?" Jin Yuxiang said.
"My equipment, vehicles, and supplies are gone, so don't you stay here and wait for death?" I say.
Jin Yuxiang smiled: "Yours are gone, isn't there still mine!" ”
I understood what Jin Yuxiang meant, but I pretended not to understand and asked him, "What does Boss Jin mean?" ”
Jin Yuxiang said: "You and I cooperate!" As you must have known by now, you can't find the bronze jade slanting furnace just by looking at a photo from me. Since I saved you, you should also repay me and help me find the Xieding Furnace. ”
"And what if I don't say yes?" I asked, staring at Jin Yuxiang.
As soon as the words fell, I immediately felt a chill in the back of my head, I knew that it was a muzzle, it seemed that Jin Yuxiang wanted to be hard.
"And now?" Jin Yuxiang asked with a smile.
How can a person not bow his head under the eaves? Zhang Dongwei said before that this Jin Yuxiang is black and white, so I fully believe that he can do it. What's more, this is Lop Nur, kill individuals and bury them, I'm afraid that no one will be able to find them for several years or even forever.
"I agree!" I promised Jin Yuxiang.
"Okay, those who know the times are Junjie!" Jin Yuxiang clapped his hands and said.
"Of course. I'll have to follow you anyway, otherwise, we won't be able to get out of Lop Nur at all with the current state of the four of us...... But yes yes, but I have a request! "I made conditions to Jin Yuxiang.
"If your request is money, that's no problem." Jin Yuxiang is really wealthy, and he doesn't ask about the amount at all.
"Money is only one aspect." I say.
"Then tell me about it!" Jin Yuxiang said.
I said to him, "I'm going to share everything you have about the Bronze Jade Furnace, both before and after you get it." Of course, it's yours! ”
"Okay, I promise you!" Jin Yuxiang thought about it and agreed. Then he waved his hand, and the bodyguard standing behind me put away his gun and stood with his hands behind his back.
"Since you have promised to cooperate with me, then I will fulfill my promise and share some unknown information with you." He looked at me and asked, "I wonder if you've ever heard of Will Jones?" ”
"Will Jones? No. I said.
"Not unusual! He wasn't a very famous person in the first place! Jin Yuxiang said. Then he told me about Will Jones until he disappeared in Lop Nur.
The more I listened, the more surprised I became: "How do you know this?" ”
Jin Yuxiang picked up the notebook he was looking at when I entered the door, pinched it in his hand and waved it, saying, "This notebook was left by the British explorer Will Jones. Will Jones has a habit of keeping a diary, no matter how tired or difficult he is, he will record the events of the next day, and on the night of the accident, he wrote down the route of the day in the diary before lying down to sleep. ”
"And how did this diary get to you?" I asked Jin Yuxiang. I had to figure out where he was coming from so I could determine if the information he was providing was true and valid.
Jin Yuxiang said: "Don't forget, there is another person in Will Jones's expedition who survived!" ”
"The guide, Abliz?"
"That's right, it's Ablizi!" "He brought home all the important stuff from Will Jones' entire expedition, including this diary...... When he returned, he changed his name and moved out of his old place. It took a great deal of effort for me to find Ablizi's descendants, and I bought the diary from him at a high price......"
I know that what Jin Yuxiang said about all the effort is definitely not an exaggeration, a person who is so old has moved and changed his name, and he can still find his descendants...... I can't help but sigh, in this world, there is really money that can make ghosts grind!
"So you mean to say that Will Jones' disappearance has something to do with the Bronze Jade Slanting Furnace?" I asked Jin Yuxiang.
Jin Yuxiang took out two yellow and old photos: "I don't know if it matters, but the photo I showed you before, in fact, it is only one of the two photos, and there is another one, you can look at it......" He handed over the other photo that I hadn't seen.
"It's ......"
The photograph was as blurry as the previous one, but it was not difficult to tell from the blurred shadow that the huge shadow in the photograph was a ship, an ancient wooden ship!
"This is the ship that Will Jones saw?" I asked Jin Yuxiang.
He nodded: "Although there is a gap of nearly sixty years between Will Jones and this photo, I feel that they are eighty percent of the same ship......
"What the hell is that ship?" I asked.
Jin Yuxiang stood up from his seat, sighed and said, "I don't know either...... Will Jones did not write in his diary, because his diary was only written before dinner on the night of the accident. ”
I picked up the Will Jones diary on my desk and flipped through it. Suddenly, on the last page, I saw a crooked line of text, which was not in English, but like Uyghur writing. It's just that this text is written...... I really don't dare to compliment, even Uyghur elementary school students who have just learned to write are better than this!
I asked Jin Yuxiang, "Who wrote the text on this last page?" ”
Jin Yuxiang smiled: "Ablizi! ”
"What do you mean?"
"Translated into Chinese, it is, the conjuring ship, the sea of burial souls, once you enter it, you can't get out......"
"What does that mean?" I asked, "This soul conjuring ship is easy to understand, it should refer to the wooden ship, but what does the Soul Burial Sea refer to?" ”
Jin Yuxiang said: "I also sent people to ask some locals, and only a few old people still have an impression of this sentence, but they also don't know the meaning of this sentence, they just say that they have heard it from the mouths of the older generation, and almost no one has heard it now." ”
"The Sea of Burial Souls mostly refers to Lop Nur because it has the title of 'Sea of Death'......" But on second thought, it is very imprecise to say this, because some people call the Taklamakan Desert also the Sea of Death. I told Jin Yuxiang about this doubt, and at this time Hu Yunting walked in and said, "I have also thought about this problem...... So I've been wondering if the location of that conjuring ship is in Lop Nur or Taklamakan anymore? "It seems that Hu Yunting has been standing outside the tent and listening to our conversation.
