Chapter 8 Chart Confidentiality
"Chang Shan actually knew that I was nearby, in fact, he had already discovered me, he called me over, and the two of us chatted for a while, and when I went back, wouldn't I meet you." Jiao Ba said with a serious face.
"You're not fooling me, are you?" I always feel that this kid is talking a bit nonsense, does he have any secrets with Chang Shan?
Jiao Ba said a little helplessly, "Brother Yi, why am I lying to you about this, it's really like this, after he called me over, the two of us had a brief chat, but they were all painless words, they didn't go straight to the point, and I didn't ask him why he ran out in the middle of the night." ”
"Okay, I'll believe you for the time being, and tell me in time if there is any situation next time." I said this on my lips, but I didn't think so in my heart, I had already begun to suspect that Jiao Ba had a problem.
"Oh, I know, I was also in a hurry, by the way, Brother Yi, why did Chang Shan say that you had nightmares again? What does this mean? Jiao Ba asked suspiciously.
I looked at him, frowned, and said, "I don't know how he knows, but I was really awakened by nightmares, and I have always had nightmares since I left the island."
After hearing this, Jiao Ba said, "The woman who asked you for something, does she appear in your dreams every time?" ”
"Well, every time it appears in my dreams, as soon as I sleep, she will inevitably come out, I can't stand it anymore, she has been tormenting my nerves." I said with a headache.
Jiao Ba blinked his eyes and thought, but didn't speak, I asked again, "Could this have something to do with the curse on the island?" ”
Jiao Ba immediately squatted down, opened my pants, glanced at my left ankle, and then stood up again and said, "There should be no connection, the palm print on your ankle is getting lighter, which is a good thing, indicating that the curse is weakening." ”
"Weakened?" I hurriedly crouched down to check, and sure enough, the black palm print on my left ankle was not so dark, and the color had become much lighter, closer to the color of my skin.
"So it's definitely not a consequence of the curse, and you're cursed by the undead on the island, what does it have to do with that woman, but the strange thing is that I've been having nightmares lately, and I often meet an ancient woman asking me for something in my dreams." Jiao Ba had a cold face and said something that shocked me.
"Are you really fake?" I was stunned for a moment, if Jiao Ba's words were true, it would definitely not be a coincidence, the matter might really be related to those few things, and other than that, I really couldn't think of anything else.
Jiao Ba had a cold face, nodded and said, "It's true, it's been a while, the woman in the dream" He briefly described the characteristics of that ancient woman, and the more he said it, the colder my heart became, because the woman he dreamed of in his dream was basically the same as the woman I dreamed of, and it seemed that he shouldn't be lying.
"That's right, it's this woman, it turns out that she is not only pestering me, but also pestering you, so who is this woman?" I asked, confused.
Jiao Ba shook his head and said, "I don't know who she is, but it should have something to do with what we found, it is likely to be the mistress of the jade pendant, in fact, I also dreamed of him and her tonight, and the reason why I was able to wake up was also because of her." ”
I nodded, and asked with some confusion, "Then why did Changshan know about my nightmares?" Isn't that weird? ”
Jiao Ba sneered, "Don't think of him as complicated, this is very simple, people who have nightmares, their sleeping expressions are changing, you can see it at a glance." ”
"Damn, then don't care how Chang Shan sees it, do you have any way to control it, you can't always dream like this, I can't stand it anymore." I was so tormented by this nightmare that I was almost breaking down.
Jiao Ba's face was helpless, "How can I do anything, if there is a way, I will be relaxed a long time ago, and after we find the main ship, and then find the tomb owner, maybe the matter will be clear, I still think that the master protected by those wizards is likely to be the queen of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the only owner of this Feng Pei." When he said this, his eyes lit up.
"The Empress of the Ming Dynasty? This thing seems to be really not small, if this is the case, have you ever thought about it, why did the queen of the Ming Dynasty come to the sea? And why did he die at the bottom of the sea? It's so hard to explain. "I haven't been thinking about these issues lately, it's all been distracted by the nightmare.
Jiao Ba raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a weird smile and said, "Brother Yi, you are a very shrewd person, why can't you even analyze this little thing?" ”
"Okay, don't sell it, you can tell the inside story." I said impatiently.
Jiao Ba put away his smile and said, "I have thought about this matter repeatedly, if this main ship is found, and it is the queen of the Ming Dynasty who is buried inside, then there is basically a law for the whole thing." ”
"What law?" I hurriedly asked.
Jiao Ba Thief frowned and said, "The whole thing should be related to the missing Emperor Jianwen." ”
"Emperor Jianwen? Is it the emperor who was overthrown by his uncle Yongle the Great? "I was shocked, if this is the case, then this is a shocking event, it will definitely shock the whole country, and even the world.
Jiao Ba nodded and said, "That's right, when the Yongle Emperor invaded Nanjing, the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen and his empress were unknown, and it was rumored that he fled to the sea, but whether this was the case or not, no one knows, the Yongle Emperor later appointed Zheng He to go to sea, and there was a certain reason to find Emperor Jianwen, did Zheng He find it?" No one knows this, what did Zheng He encounter in the West seven times? It's still a mystery. ”
"Now we have this nautical chart in our hands, we have found Zheng He's mausoleum, from the nautical chart, this is not the ultimate goal, counting this station, there should be another goal, you once told me, the Taoist old man on the island inadvertently said a word, saying that his family has been guarding a hundred-year-old secret, and this secret is likely to be related to Emperor Jianwen, although there is no evidence to prove it now, but as long as the main ship is found this time, once it is proved that the buried person is the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, Then it is basically certain that the whole thing may be looking for the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen. ”
"You are right, the analysis is very reasonable, the old man on the island did say such a sentence, but at that time he also said that if the eunuch named Liu Qian was still alive, Zheng He's secret that had been hidden for a hundred years would probably be destroyed in one fell swoop, where is this mysterious eunuch named Liu Qian?" I patted my forehead, I felt a little pain in my head, the whole thing was a big reversal, I didn't expect that this would have something to do with Emperor Jianwen, who had been missing for hundreds of years.
Jiao Ba said with a gloomy face, "It can be seen that the eunuch is very important, and the cat-eyed man in black is likely to be the arranger of the whole thing, Brother Yi, if you think about it carefully, we are actually a chess piece, the whole thing seems to have been planned a long time ago, very thoroughly, there are almost no flaws, but I always feel that behind the whole thing, it is definitely not so simple, and according to folk rumors, Emperor Jianwen took He Shibi away when he fled." ”
"He's Bi? Is that priceless treasure? "I was amazed again, I remember that thing was long gone, how could it be involved in Emperor Jianwen's body.
Jiao Ba's brows tightened, and he took a deep breath and said, "Well, it's the world's treasure, this is just a folk rumor, whether it's true or not, no one knows, if we want to solve this mystery, we must find the last stop on the chart, you believe my brother, things are definitely not that simple, this layout of people, it's really terrible, to be honest, the further back I go, the more bottomless I am in my heart." ”
I put my arm around his shoulder and gave him the best comfort, "Our brothers are of one heart, what are you afraid of?" Shipwrecks, ghost islands, ice cities, we've all broken through, what's so scary? Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, as long as our brothers are together, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
Jiao Ba shook his head lightly and said, "Brother Yi, I'm not afraid of this, you don't understand, this is a kind of fear in my heart, the closer we get to the end, the clearer the truth becomes, I'm afraid we won't be able to contain this tail." ”
"Are you worried that things might change later?"
I can understand what Jiao Ba means, among our group of people, there must be an inner ghost, the old man on the island also reminded me when he was dying, be careful of the people around you, as for who this person is, it is still unknown, but once it comes to the end, what kind of thing will this inner ghost do? Is it revealing your identity? Or will he assassinate all of us? When you think about it, it's scary.
"It's not possible, there will definitely be a change, and it's a big reversal, and it's even difficult for us to accept, Brother Yi, be careful, the demons and monsters are not terrible, the most terrible thing is the manipulator behind it, he will play with us in the palm of his hand, unless we quit now, otherwise, we won't be able to jump out of this circle at all." Jiao Ba looked a little tired, it was that kind of mental pressure that made him age a lot all of a sudden.
"I didn't think about quitting at all, if I come, I will be safe, let's wait and see these things, let's go, go back, and I have to solve Jenny's matter tomorrow." The soldiers will block, the water will cover up, the truth will come to the surface sooner or later, it is useless to think too much, tired, the two of us quietly walked back to the rest cabin
