Chapter 34: Bones

Finally leaving the cave, we paddled along the river and entered a road, this road did not have any traces of chisel, it looked natural, it was quiet all the way, there was no movement, and there were no rotting sea lice in the water to attack us, it seems that they have not chased us anymore, perhaps, we should thank the leopard head for their timely appearance to help us out of the siege.

I took out the dagger in my pocket and played with it carefully, this dagger is not a real dagger, more like a small Nepalese scimitar, it looks a little old, but it looks very new, the blade is also very sharp, it should be a good knife, but it is not missing because of the disappearance of the gold, which is indeed a little weird, maybe, this dagger is not with the gold, but it exists in the cabin, so the color is not golden, and I just took it out in a hallucination, Then there is a question, why is this dagger in that ship?

However, I don't understand why in this underground cave, there is a skeleton array and a maze array, and there is an artificial stone chamber in the middle, and behind this stone chamber there is an underground lake, and what is even more strange is that the black ship, which also made me hallucinate, according to my thoughts, the direction of our current dark river should lead to the depths of this underground cave, so, what will be at the end of the cave, will it be a bigger cave? Nothing is known.

We didn't follow the flow, we rowed for about half an hour, and finally came to the end of this dark river, in the eyes, it was not a bigger cave, just a cave of thirty or forty square meters, we stopped the boat, went ashore, and found that the shore was full of piles of rusty scrap copper and rotten iron, I pondered that these should be weapons, and I didn't know what was left, I went inside, and found that there was a carpet on the ground, but it had been weathered and tattered, and on both sides of the carpet, there were a pair of pairs of armor.

You 18 looked at these armors and said suspiciously: "These things won't stand here like the undead in the movie, pick up a knife and cut us." ā€

I listened to You Eighteen's words that made me a little hairy, I cautiously walked to the front of the armor, took a closer look, and found that the armor was full of wood, I scolded and said, "Don't talk nonsense, see for yourself, what's inside." ā€

The three of them also walked up to me, and when they saw that it was all wood, they were relieved.

Further on, after a few steps we came to the end, we carried the oil lamp to the middle, there were piles of gold and treasure chests, I rubbed my eyes, thinking that I had hallucinations again, the gold was still there, I looked at You Eighteen and them, and they all looked at these treasures, I was sure that these were real.

In the middle of this pile of treasures, we found a throne made of stone, and when we walked in, there was a skeleton that had been dead for an unknown number of years.

After Baozi saw it, he explained: "This place should be the ancient council room, which is what we call the living room in modern times, if I guess correctly, the one on this throne must be the owner here, we had better not touch it, or we will really wake up." ā€

After Baozi said this, I immediately became alert, after all, I have already seen walking skeletons, if this corpse is resurrected, I will feel normal.

Originally, You Eighteen wanted to put some gold on his body, but when he heard the words of the bun, You Eighteen hurriedly ran to the front of the corpse, bowed deeply, and said with a smile: "This uncle, the four of us are desperate to come here, I hope you don't be surprised, several of us are poor, this adult, it is useless for you to put these treasures here, it is better to let the small one take some out to spend flowers, so as not to waste it." ā€

I scolded: "Eighteen, when is it, you still want to get rich, hurry up and find a way out." ā€

Wu Dianya walked to the gold near the throne where the bones were sitting, and pulled out a flag, I stepped forward to help her pull it away, and there was still a Zheng character written on it.

At this time, Baozi also took out a scroll from the pile of gold next to him, he opened it and looked at it, thought calmly, and then shouted in surprise: "I know who it is!" ā€

We looked at Baozi suspiciously, Baozi smiled, and then handed us the scroll in his hand, I followed the light to see, it turned out to be a map, You 18 said: "If I guess correctly, what is drawn on the map is a nautical chart." ā€

Baozi cupped his eyes again and said, "That's right, this is a nautical chart, but you look carefully at the route of this nautical chart." ā€

I looked at this nautical chart again, and it showed the seaside of the mainland, line after line, probably from the vicinity of Nanjing in Jiangsu, then to Fujian, then to Southeast Asia, then to the Middle East, and finally to Africa, and I didn't understand it for a while.

Baozi smiled and said, "This is Zheng He's navigation chart to the Western Ocean." ā€

Zheng He? Who is Zheng He, one of the most famous navigators of the Ming Dynasty, who opened up the Silk Road on the sea, and went to the West seven times, a figure who must be talked about in the textbooks when we were in school.

After thinking about it carefully, the ceramics I saw before, the bottom of the foot are all Yongle Year, on this Zheng Ziqi, then, these things, it is very likely that they are Zheng He's, I looked at Baozi and hoped that he could give an answer.

Baozi said with a smile: "That's right, it seems that this cave is Zheng He's, Zheng He went to the West seven times, and brought countless treasures, if he secretly came to Renqi Island, built a treasure house here, and secretly put some of the treasures on the ship here, it couldn't be easier." ā€

Baozi walked to the throne, pointed to the corpse and said: "Judging from the display here, there are also those wooden figures standing in two rows to accompany the burial, if I guess correctly, this person should be Zheng He." ā€

I asked suspiciously, "Why are you sure that this person is Zheng He?" ā€

Baozi said: "Because in the historical record, Zheng He died of illness when he went to the West for the seventh time, and after the fleet returned to China, he saw only the coffin and did not see the body, and the people at that time were superstitious, thinking that he had ascended to heaven and did not exist, in fact, he hid his bones in this cave, the most powerful evidence is the builder of this cave, because this is not a project that can be completed by one person, and after Zheng He returned to China, he did not leak a trace of rumors, in fact, this cave was built by more than 100 people, and more than 100 people, Zheng He was slaughtered by him long ago before he returned to China, if I guess correctly, the more than 100 people who were killed by the soldiers of Java recorded in history are the builders here, and Zheng He killed the killer and blamed Java in order to cover up everything here. ā€

I was stunned when I heard this, this kind of thing that has been erased from history, Baozi can know, Baozi is really unusual, if I hadn't gone to school with Baozi, I can really think of him as a white-haired archaeologist at this moment.
