At that time, it was the time of the rise of archaeological tomb robbers, and a large number of foreign expeditions came to Asia, hoping to get a piece of the pie in this second archaeological discovery.

At that time, China's maritime archaeology was almost zero, and seeing a large number of national treasures being stolen and fished away, how could people in China's archaeological community not be in a hurry, and several old professors wrote a letter together, asking for measures. Later, under the pressure of the situation, when there was no money and no one to ask for money, he finally cobbled together several "expedition teams", one of which was sent to Xisha, which was the one Wenjin was responsible for.

What the third uncle didn't expect happened just before the archaeological team went on trip, about a month or so.

At that time, the third uncle was helping Wen Jin prepare some earthen equipment, similar to pumping machines, diving equipment, etc., which were not responsible for them, and they were all owned by the third uncle Zhang Luo. At noon that day, the third uncle was busy debugging the equipment, and suddenly a student came in and said that someone had come out to look for him.

The surname of the person who came was Jie, which was called the solution of the chain, probably to take "resentment without support, the lover was cut off, and the letter was Liaomiao." The word in the "Clever Hand Can Unravel the Chain". This person is the third uncle's brother-in-law, which is equivalent to my distant cousin, because they live in Changsha together, so there are contacts in Pingrì, but there are not too many.

In those years, when it came to this kind of thing, the third uncle was okay, and the older generation only had to pay a visit during the New Year's holiday, and the emphasis was on being as light as water. Such a relative suddenly came to find him, which made the third uncle a little surprised.

However, when the relatives came, they naturally couldn't slack off, and it was not good to ask him what he was doing immediately, so the third uncle stopped what he was doing, made a noise, pulled him to the restaurant to eat, and waited until he was halfway drunk, and then asked him what he was doing when he came to find him.

The Xie family is also a big family, there are six brothers, more than the grandfather's family, generally speaking, there will be no lack of money, come to the third uncle, there must be something to help with, and the matter may be more special, otherwise they themselves will not be uneven.

It took a long time to untie the chain and twist it before he said to the third uncle, in fact, it was not a big deal, he just wanted to trust the relationship of the third uncle and find a position in Wenjin's expedition team, and he wanted to regret it.

The third uncle felt something was wrong when he heard it, Wen Jin was cute and cute, everyone liked it, and the Xie family had seen it more or less because they were relatives, but Wen Jin's own degree was very good, although he had seen it, he had no deep friendship, let alone contact, and Xie Lian inexplicably came up with such an unobtrusive request, which must have been an attempt. At that moment, he shook his head and asked, "What do you want to see at sea, what do you want to see, can't you go to Hangzhou to see it?" ”

Xie Lian scratched his head in embarrassment, saying that he couldn't say this, and if he had to know, he would treat it as if he had a deal over there. He was also entrusted by men.

The third uncle asked him why he didn't figure it out by himself, and hiring a fishing boat was not a very expensive matter. He explained that now China is engaged in a military confrontation with Vietnam, and the Xisha area is very sensitive, and ordinary ships are not allowed to enter without coastal defense, so he asked the third uncle to do a favor, and it is more convenient to act in the expedition team, and this matter has absolutely no impact on Wenjin.

The more the third uncle listened, the more strange it became, how could this Tufuzi and Xisha pick up together, how awkward to think about it, saying that there is a deal, what kind of deal will there be in Xisha? To be honest, there is only water and sand, and then there are shipwrecks, if you want to go to the shipwreck, why go to Xisha, Ningbo and the Bohai Sea. And the Xie family was also considered to have a head and face at that time, a centuries-old family, it is impossible for them to suddenly fall to the point of digging for seafood?

The third uncle's expression was a little embarrassed, so he said that if it didn't work, forget it, and he would think of another way.

If it was me at that time, I would definitely be relieved when he said this, and I refused to push the boat down the river, but the third uncle didn't think so. When he heard this, he said in his heart that it was not right, there was something strange in this matter, if he refused, this was less than really going to think of other ways, this line of work is not good, and it is difficult to guard against what is out of the ordinary when the time comes. Since he has been involved with Wen Jinding, he can't let him mess around, and he has to find out what kind of fame he is picking up.

So he said no, no. He was embarrassed because he was not alone in this matter, he had to ask Wen Jin first, he couldn't make a decision on this matter, so he asked him to wait for a while.

When Xie Lianhuan heard this, he hurriedly said thank you, and took out a bunch of foreign goods that were in short supply at that time, and asked the third uncle to give them to Wenjin.

The two of them had their own ghosts, and after chatting for a while, they left without the link. The third uncle immediately went to find a few ruffians he knew, gave him some money, and asked them to follow him and find out what he had been doing lately.

At that time, the ruffians were the most well-informed group of people, and soon there was news, saying that they had been following this solution for a few days, and found that he was a second ancestor, and he didn't have any hobbies in Pingrì, he just liked to listen to flower drum plays, and his friends were all three religions and nine streams, very usual, to say strange, there was only one place strange. It's just that he has been in close contact with a foreigner for a while now, and he often goes to a teahouse to meet a foreigner every once in a while, and he doesn't talk much time, and he leaves in ten minutes.

When the third uncle heard this, he felt strange in his heart, they were doing business with foreigners in this business, which was an ordinary thing. But the solution is different, people like him basically don't participate in the family business anymore, his work at home is to spend money, why did he suddenly deal with foreigners again, the third uncle felt that there was a drama in it, and immediately decided to go and see it in person.

He asked to understand the general rules of Lianlian meeting that foreigner, and he chose a time, and that day, he changed into an inconspicuous dress, and squatted at the door of Xie Lianlian early in the morning to wait for him to come out. Waited for an hour. Xie Lianhuan went out, the third uncle touched it, followed all the way from afar, followed half of Changsha City, and arrived at Lao Mi City, and a teahouse really appeared in front, Xie Lianhuan looked at the back, and didn't find the third uncle, so he picked up the curtain and walked in.

The third uncle was overjoyed, jumped up in three steps and two steps, and when he went to the window, he saw Xie Lianhuan sitting down in a position, and on the opposite side of the position, there was indeed a foreigner. The clouds are deep and untraceable.

The foreigner has white hair, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, I can't tell which country he is, but his breath is extremely good, sitting in the teahouse like a bear, and now he is drinking tea like a look, and he is wearing slippers.

The third uncle looked at the foreigner for a while, and found that this person looked a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, so he couldn't help but wonder a little.

The foreigner who has done business with him can count it on one hand, and there is absolutely no such person. This person is definitely not his guest, but at that time, the chance of meeting foreigners in Changsha was simply slim, and it was definitely not what he usually saw, so who was this person?

He tried hard to recall, and thought about all the occasions he had seen foreigners in the past few years, and suddenly he hit a spirit, and he immediately remembered: This foreigner turned out to be one of the group of foreigners he saw in Dart Ridge a year ago! The experience of that year ago was too shocking, and the third uncle remembered it vividly, and as soon as he pulled out the thread, he immediately recalled it all.

The third uncle was cold, he looked at the two people in the teahouse, and suddenly felt that he realized something, and he couldn't grasp it, and an ominous premonition came up from his heart.

Speaking of which, I stopped the third uncle and asked him to stop, I must think about it before listening.

Listening to the third uncle's narration so far, things are already very clear, there is no doubt that Xie Lianhuan wants to go to Xisha in order to help this mysterious foreigner do one thing, and it is also a relatively special thing, because everyone is doing business with foreigners, and there is no need to be so mysterious.

And this foreigner is one of the groups of people who wanted to dig up the bloody corpse tomb outside Dart Ridge a year ago, at that time the third uncle already felt very strange, because Dart Ridge is a deep mountain in Chinese mainland, not a place where foreigners should appear, and now, this group of people obviously wants to ask people to go to China's Xisha Sea, which is also a place where foreigners should not appear, because there was a war at that time.

At that time, the third uncle didn't know that there was an ancient tomb under Xisha, so many things were just doubts and there was no way to speculate. But now that I know what happened in the future, according to these inferences, what the foreigner entrusted to do should be related to the submarine tomb of the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, the first person to know about the existence of the submarine tomb is very likely to be the foreigner, and the foreigner told the company.

Then there is an unexplained strange circle, an unbelievable question: where did this foreigner know about the existence of the Dart Ridge Ancient Tomb and the Xisha Sea Tomb? These two kinds of tombs are so rare, even people like my grandfather can only say that they have heard of it slightly, how can he be so powerful as a Fanbang person?

I thought of the Yunshen Traceless Snake Eyebrow Copper Fish he was holding in his hand when he was unraveling the serial death, this is the first living snake eyebrow copper fish, obviously this thing should be brought out by him from the ancient tomb under the sea, so can it be said that this mysterious foreigner, what he wants to do is to bring out this copper fish in the ancient tomb?

In other words, the foreigner not only knew in advance that there was an ancient tomb in Medie, but even knew what was inside the ancient tomb, which is also too in line with the principle of the supremacy of intelligence in the United States.

Even the third uncle went to the Dart Ridge recorded in his grandfather's notes, and he relied on searching for the local mountain people to find it after several hard work, not to mention the ancient tomb at the bottom of the Xisha Sea, I think no one will know about its existence except for Wang Zanghai.

Thinking of this, I suddenly hit a spirit, and my heart said no, people say that when there is no answer, the most unlikely answer is the correct answer.

Since these things do not exist, then in this way, the only answer is: Could it be that what the third uncle just said is still nonsense?

This person had a criminal record, and I suddenly felt weak, and immediately looked at him to see if his expression was wrong.

The third uncle saw that my face was uncertain, and he didn't know what I had thought, so when he saw me looking at him, he asked me what was wrong.

I said tentatively: "Third uncle, you can't lie to me anymore, it's all said that this is Shangding, it's really unkind for you to lie to me again." ”

The third uncle looked at me with a strange expression, and asked me why I thought so, I told me about my concerns, and after he heard it, he suddenly frowned and looked at me as well.

When I finished reading it, this reaction seemed to be debunked by me, and I didn't know how to say it, so I couldn't help but sink in my heart.

Unexpectedly, he looked at me a few times, and suddenly said, "You think too absolutely, things are not like this."

In fact, those foreigners didn't know what was under the Xisha at that time, they just knew that there must be something under that place. ”

I asked, "Where did you know that?" ”

The third uncle said: "This is what they told me later, in fact, these foreigners are the bosses of the company where A-Ning is now, and do you know who the founder of this company is?" ”

I shook my head. The third uncle said: "It's the American who deceived the Warring States Silk Book from your grandfather." ”

When I heard this, my jaw almost dropped, and I said, "Is that him?" ”

The third uncle nodded and said, "Just before going to Xisha this time, I saw him once, and he is already dying, and now he relies on machines to support his life." At that time, he told me personally about the purpose of his decades of investing in activities in China. ”

"What's that?" I asked.

The third uncle said: "The cause of the whole thing is the Warring States Silk Book that he deceived back then. At that time, he was also a secondary school teacher in a church, and occasionally engaged in the theft and sale of antiques. That year, in the name of Yun Charity, he deceived the authentic copy of the Warring States Silk Book from his grandfather, and at that time, this person was already very knowledgeable about Chinese culture, and he decided to decipher the information on it in order to raise the value of this silk book. The third uncle paused, "But it took him two years, and what he deciphered surprised him." ”

My heart moved. said: "This American was able to break out the Warring States Silk Book that we couldn't do for so many years,"

The third uncle nodded: "Just because he is an American, he deciphered Ding, because the arrangement of the secret characters in this silk book is based on a mathematical principle, and people like us, even if they are good, they can't crack this thing from a mathematical point of view." ”

"What's written in that silk book?" I wondered. The clouds are deep and untraceable.

The third uncle said: "The information recorded in the silk book, you will never think of it if you don't say it."

The third uncle was halfway through his speech, when suddenly there was a knock at the door, and I wondered, could it be that someone came to see a doctor? All the people who can come are here, who the hell came to disturb me listening to the story, and when I turned my head, it turned out to be a courier.

He walked in and asked, "Who is Mr. Wu Xie?" ”

I nodded, "It's me." ”

He took out a large package from his bag and said, "Your shipment." ”

The third uncle was also very strange, why did an express mail suddenly arrive, and asked me, "Who sent it?" ”

I flipped through it, and the envelope read: Zhang Qiling. I panicked and said how could he send me a shipment. When I looked at the rì period, it was not long ago. Did he come out of a crack in the earth? Hurriedly opened it and took a look, and the two black sè things revealed in the envelope turned out to be two video tapes.
