We set off early the next morning, and although the sky was a little overcast, there was no wind or waves. Uncle Luo, the guide, said that there will be no strong winds, there is no problem, but the sea area we are going to has a big wind and waves, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time, in case of a strong wind, such a yacht cannot withstand the big waves.

Not far out to sea we came across a border patrol ship that shouted at us to stop. I frowned secretly, trouble is coming, this is very close to Taiwan, I am afraid that we can't run around, and the location of the wreck is not allowed to stay casually, this is a sensitive area.

Lu Qingwen walked to the cockpit and said to the pilot, "Master, lean over, I'll negotiate with them." ”

The pilot looked at me, I nodded, and the yacht slowed down and approached the patrol boat, where everyone waited a little nervously. Lu Qingwen was not in a hurry, waited for the boat to get close and climbed onto the other party's boat, took out a blue paper certificate and a document from her small leather bag, and handed it to the other party's team leader. When the officer saw it, he immediately saluted Lu Qingwen, nodded his head, and turned his attitude one hundred and eighty degrees.

Judging from the few words they had spoken, this document was actually signed by a senior leader of the central military. I was a little surprised, although I had long suspected that Lu Qingwen's parents were from the military, or working for the military, but I didn't expect her to get such a high-level document, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Lu Chengshan is a "royal Taoist".

The officers and men were very enthusiastic and asked if they wanted to escort them, but I refused, because it was inconvenient for outsiders to participate. Lu Qingwen unceremoniously asked them for a set of diving suits and satellite navigation and positioning instruments, it seems that she has been prepared, she just wants to get professional tools from these people, and these people have sent them to the door themselves.

Xiaoxue was originally a little dissatisfied with Lu Qingwen's joining, but now she has no opinion, she is a universal pass, without her with us, we will give up halfway this time.

Qianao Town is only eight or nine kilometers away from Niushan Island, and it will be there in a short time, it is a very small island, less than a thousand meters long, and it is not high, but there is a very high lighthouse on the island. According to Uncle Luo, this lighthouse can be seen from a distance of 40 or 50 kilometers at night, and it is a directional sign for the return of passing ships and fishing boats in the Taiwan Strait.

I know the distance and direction between the shipwreck and Niushan Island, and I was originally going to use Niushan Island as the base point, use a compass to measure the direction, roughly estimate the distance, and spend a lot of time looking for it. Now that there is a positioning instrument borrowed by Lu Qingwen, there is no need to be too troublesome, go straight to the shipwreck site, and it will take more than half an hour to arrive. It is located between the mainland and Taiwan, which is equivalent to the valley mouth area of the canyon, so the wind and waves are relatively large, but the sea water is not too deep, the water quality is pure, according to the archives I have seen, the shipwreck is about fifty meters underwater.

Zheng Wanfeng, Luo Xusheng, the driving envoy and others didn't know my purpose, but when they stopped at this position, they guessed. In the past, many fishing boats trawled their nets were broken or caught in the vicinity and could not be recovered, so experienced fishermen deliberately avoided it. In addition, there was a large-scale salvage 20 years ago, and a large number of troops and ships were deployed to defend it, which was well known to the older generation in Pingtan Province.

Although they guessed it, they saw that Lu Qingwen was not small, and I was unpredictable, so I was very knowledgeable and didn't ask much, but I didn't avoid it, waiting to see the strangeness.

In front of so many people, I couldn't take out the rhinoceros horns, so I had to take off my clothes one by one, and put on only a pair of shorts and climbed over the guardrail on the deck to jump down.

Lu Qingwen was shocked: "You jumped like this?" ”

I turned back to her and asked, "Isn't it okay?" ”

"Of course not! I know that your cultivation is deep and not afraid of the cold, but can you dive directly at such a depth? Even wearing a professional wetsuit can be difficult, so be careful, as the huge water pressure generated by ascending and descending too quickly can be fatal! ”

I spread my hands: "But I don't have diving equipment, so I can only jump directly, and I can come up when I can't dive." ”

Lu Qingwen was so angry that she jumped to her feet: "I don't even have a diving suit, you came like this, you think you are going down to the river to touch the snail!" ”

"I wouldn't use it even if I had a wetsuit, so I jumped straight away." After saying that, I jumped out lightly and jumped straight down.

Before I touched the water, I secretly pinched a trick to avoid the water, and my whole body was swirling, and there was almost no sound, and I didn't make any splashes before entering the water. Lu Qingwen's exclamation was faintly heard from above, as well as Uncle Luo's voice: "What kind of jumping is this......

I have a special fear of deep water, so I never go to deep water, and I rarely use it when I learn to avoid water. I have tried it in the third layer of the Yin-Yang Technique before, but I can't completely separate the water, but only reduce the resistance in the water, and then I found that my body is not wet, and I am very flexible in the water, and I can hardly feel the resistance.

The trick of avoiding water is not just a trick, it also needs the cooperation of the aura in the body. This principle is somewhat similar to the Five Elements Water Escape, that is, the aura in the body is transformed into water attributes, I am very close to the characteristics of water, of course, the resistance in the water becomes smaller, and the movement is free, plus the special effect of the magic trick and the aura to protect the body, the water will not get on the body.

When I step forward, I don't need to make any effort to move forward, up and down, left and right, all go smoothly, more free than on land, and I can't go up and down at will!

It seems that my cultivation is high now, and I don't need to clear the water rhino horn to come and go freely in the water, but there is still a little problem, when using the water avoidance technique, I must maintain the magic technique and the aura attribute in the body, and maintain it according to a certain intention, which is inconvenient to fight and do complicated things.

As soon as my mind moved, Xiaoxue stuffed the water rhino horn into my hand, and I injected some aura, and the water rhino horn emitted a special energy, forcing the sea water away, and I was like hiding in a huge bubble. It is also very convenient to move in the water by using the rhino horn to avoid water, but it is not as flexible as the water avoidance trick, but it consumes less aura, and only needs to be simply injected with aura, so I can concentrate on other things, and both methods have their advantages.

With double insurance, I feel a lot more at ease, but Xiaoxue is very unaccustomed and nervous, and her perception range has greatly narrowed, even worse than me.

I took the rhino horn to repel the water, and did not inject any more spiritual energy, so as to avoid the water trick and dived to the water. The water is clear, the visibility is good, and the colorful and strange-shaped fish swim back and forth in the water, which is beautiful. It is like the contraction of a funnel, to the northeast is the East China Sea, to the east is the Pacific Ocean, and more than 2,000 kilometers in a straight line is the deepest Mariana Trench in the world, so it is rich in fishery resources and is a famous fishing ground.

As the depth increases, the light gradually dims and the water turns blue-green. I didn't feel the pressure at all, and I descended very quickly, and in a short time I was close to the bottom of the sea, and although the light was dim, ordinary people could see things within a few meters, and I could see a hundred meters away.

Turning my head around, I saw a huge black shadow behind the left, which didn't look like a ship, but it shouldn't be that big a reef, and it should be the wreck of Awa Maru that I was looking for. I tread the water and walked forward, and when I got closer, I saw that it was the wreck of the ship, with many broken fishing nets and seaweed hanging on it.

The hull was enormous, but it had been pierced with holes, and in many places it had been torn down to only the supports, and in addition to broken fishing nets and seaweed, there was also a large amount of silt, on which many shellfish had made their home, forming a thick layer of steel that was barely visible. In this dark ocean bed, such a dilapidated big creature looks even more terrifying than the most gloomy haunted house, not that I am timid, but I have never been to a place with such an environment and atmosphere, and I can't help but feel apprehensive.

The ship had broken nearly a third of the way from the bow, and the small part of the bow had been broken up and lifted away twenty years ago, and the stern had been almost demolished for most of the mud, and after twenty years of sand accumulation, the place where it had been dug up was buried again, and now it was impossible for me to get into the depths of the ship's bilge. The places that can be seen have already been carefully searched, and there is no need to look for them.

My only strength is that I have a sense that ordinary people don't have. The jade talisman has a strong spiritual power, if there is a jade talisman here, it is not tightly wrapped in an iron box, as long as I get close to ten meters, it is possible to sense it. If there are a large number of treasures under the cabin, they should also exude aura.

I floated a little higher, and before I could enter the hull of the boat, I was alarmed by a large number of aquatic creatures of various shapes, such as huge strange crabs covered in spines, schools of small fish swimming away like frightened birds, and a sea serpent the size of a sea bowl even swooped down on me. I was taken aback, and hurriedly moved sideways to dodge, slashing at it with my palm as a knife and slashing at it, which scared it away.

God knows what monsters will lurk here, and I can't get stunned when I am swallowed by the sea monster, so I gave up using the water avoidance trick and used the water rhino horn to divide the water, and took the magic knife "Bird Cut" in my right hand.

I walked around the large wreckage first, and found nothing of value, so I ventured into the wreckage to search for it. Not only is it scary to live in the aquarium, but the sea water is shaken and the sediment and baths are stirred up, which becomes very cloudy and interferes with the view, which is even more difficult than I expected. I am not affected by water pressure, it is easy to move, and it is so difficult to search, and it is even more difficult to change to an ordinary person wearing a diving suit.

After looking for more than an hour, I found nothing, and here is a pile of rotten iron. I wanted to give up, but when I passed by a cabin, Xiaoxue suddenly said, "How do you see those five holes?" ”

It was impossible to see what the original cabin looked like, except for the iron-hulled bulkhead on the outside, with five holes of various sizes. Each hole is poked out from the outside to the inside, the thick iron plate is rolled inside, the outside of the hole is slightly larger than the inside, and the angle of each hole is slightly different. These five holes are all large and far apart, and they will not be connected if they are not deliberately observed.

"This should be broken with a huge steel claw, the previous salvage people used a lot of large machinery...... "I explained to Xiaoxue, but halfway through the sentence I denied it, the salvaged steel claw will not be so sharp, and it is impossible to scratch the iron plate with huge force from the side, this is not only very difficult but also meaningless, so how did these five holes come about?
