Hearing the old man's words, we were very surprised, we really didn't expect the old man who had just rejected to change his mind so quickly.

Then we turned our eyes to Wenmo again, but Wenmo didn't say anything, just stared at the ship. I had some questions I wanted to ask, but I knew in my heart that it would be in vain, so I simply kept my mouth shut.

Fortunately, the ship landed, we were all relieved, and during the conversation we learned that this old man's surname was Lei, so we called him Lei Lao. There was no problem with everything, but the second uncle was a little suspicious of the rusty condition of the ship, so he asked Lei Lao if the state of this ship could go to sea for a long time, and there was no need to maintain and overhaul it.

Lei Lao shook his head, "My old thunder-headed boat, don't look at the old appearance, even if it encounters a dragon absorbing water, it will be safe and sound!" "The dragon absorbs water refers to a tornado at sea, this kind of cyclone is extremely destructive, although we do not believe all of Lei Lao's words, but we can also see that he is very confident in his ship.

We have made an appointment to meet here at this time tomorrow, and then we will officially go to sea.

Back at the hotel, we started distributing gear. In order to maintain my energy, I lay down in bed early, ready to rest, but the uncontrollable excitement in my heart made me toss and turn, and I thought about a lot of things in my head, and I didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.

When we arrived at the beach the next day, Lei Lao's boat was already waiting on the beach.

We got on the boat and said hello to Lei Lao, but he still had a cold expression, and we probably knew his temper, but we didn't care. As Lei Lao put away the anchor, and then said hello, the ship started, and gradually sailed away from the abandoned dock and sailed towards the vast sea.

I stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the sea where the water and the sky met, and a sense of grandeur and ambition swelled in my chest. But soon the cold, salty breeze blew me back to the cabin.

The second uncle and Lei Lao explained the general route and direction of the journey, but did not explain the specific location, because the specific location even we did not know, we could only rely on a few maps in our hands plus GPS, and slowly search.

The second uncle walked into the cabin and saw me shivering from the cold, and felt a little funny, "You kid be careful, if you have a cold and fever at sea, you have to go back." The second uncle sat down beside me and handed me a cup of hot water, "In fact, the sea in winter will be warmer than on land, but the Bohai Sea is more special, the coast of the Bohai Bay is affected by the coastal current of the Yellow Sea, the salinity of the sea is low, the temperature is also low, and the Bohai Sea is surrounded by the mainland on three sides, and the effect of the warm current of the Yellow Sea has been affected, so in another month or two, the coast of the Bohai Sea will even begin to freeze, and at that time, we may not be able to go out to sea." When the boat sails out of Bohai Bay, it will be better. ”

I took a sip of hot water and said, "Second uncle, let's start from here and go west, isn't it just as cold?" ”

The second uncle glanced at me, "Who said we were going west?" ”

After listening to the second uncle's words, I was stunned, "Didn't we go to the place where Xu Fu shot the big fish back then?" It is recorded in ancient books that that place is not in Zhifu? Zhifu is in the northwest of Weihai? ”

The second uncle looked at my serious expression, smiled, took out the spliced ink painting of Huangshan, and took out the seascape big fish picture on the door of the ancient tomb of Qilian Mountain, and then pointed it out to me, "In fact, the carving on the door of the ancient tomb of Qilian Mountain was supposed to be a ghost picture, but it was changed during the carving and lost the characteristics of the ghost picture, so when I received the fax, I didn't see it." Then the second uncle took out the ink painting of Huangshan with a big fish, "This one has obviously been restored, according to these two pictures, I marked a location on the map, which should be the place we are looking for." "I saw that on the map opened by the second uncle, a small area was circled at the junction of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea.

Hearing the second uncle say this, I couldn't understand it, "Second uncle, is everything recorded in the ancient books wrong?" ”

"Big nephew, you still have a lot to learn in our business!" The second uncle patted me, "In the tomb robbery industry, you have to remember that not only people can lie now, but the ancients will also lie, only the dead will not lie, so only the written records found in the tomb are more credible, and the ancient books that have been handed down, hum," the second uncle sneered, "Those are all statements that have been processed." ”

The first time I heard this theory, I listened to it with interest, and the second uncle continued: "If you are Qin Shi Huang and have a secret, will you publish it and let people write it into a book so that everyone in the world will know about it?" ”

Of course, I shook my head, "Second uncle, do you mean that the current historical records about Xu Fu Dongdu are all false?" ”

The second uncle shook his head, "Only the records in the "Historical Records" are true, and this is also what I admire Sima Qian, because about this matter, you can verify the conclusive information, only Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to lead thousands of boys and women from the Shandong Peninsula to the outside world, saying that they were looking for immortals. Therefore, in the "Historical Records", only these are recorded. There is nothing else. Of course, through our investigation in the past few days, it can be determined that Xu Fu shot a giant fish back then. As for the rest, what Xu Fu will never return, Xu Fu went to Japan, Xu Fu went overseas to establish himself as a king, these may be fake! Just think about it, what kind of person is Qin Shi Huang, can he let Xu Fu, a monk, be deceived? That's a joke! ”

When the second uncle said this, I really think it makes sense, Qin Shi Huang registered at the age of thirteen, put down Chang Yu's rebellion, forced Lü Buwei to commit suicide by poisoning, and finally unified the people of the six countries. That is the top hero in Chinese history, how could such a person be played by a monk many times. With Qin Shi Huang's character, I am afraid that as early as after Xu Fu's first failure to go to sea, he would have killed him and chosen someone else. Why did Yingzheng let Xu Fu spend a huge amount of money to go to sea three times and twice, it must be for a purpose, it is very likely that Xu Fu discovered some secret when he went to sea for the first time, or or, Xu Fu went to sea itself not to find immortals at all, but to find a huge secret, so in this case, it seems that everything makes sense.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a chill in my back, and many things were really scary to think about.

Qin Shi Huang can be said to be the person who has the most secrets in Chinese history, because his book burning pit Confucianism caused a large number of documents to be burned. As a result, the inheritance of countless cultures and historical materials has been cut off. Countless ancient secrets, as well as the relics of the pre-Qin period, I am afraid that only Qin Shi Huang knows. Perhaps because of this, Qin Shi Huang built the Terracotta Army, which is known as the eighth wonder of the world. Because of this, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has been well preserved for thousands of years, and Xiang Yu used 300,000 people to open the Imperial Mausoleum. And now, even if the location of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has been determined, it is still impossible to open it with modern technology, which is really unbelievable and imaginative.

I was chatting with my second uncle when Wen Mo walked in from the outside and sat across from us without saying a word, frowning as if he was thinking about something, while he was holding something like a wooden stick in his hand.

My second uncle and I looked at each other, not knowing what Wenmo was doing, so I asked, "Wenmo, what's wrong with you?" Is there something wrong? ”

Wen Mo took a deep breath and said slowly, "There may be some problems with this ship. ”

"What!" Hearing Wen Mo say this, I was shocked, now that I have entered the sea, it is too late to have any problems.

The second uncle next to me hurriedly motioned for me to be quieter, and then turned his head to ask Wenmo: "What did you find?" ”

Wen Mo looked at us, "Do you still remember, yesterday I asked Lei Lao if he had seen a giant fish." ”

My second uncle and I nodded. Wen Mo continued: "Yesterday when you were talking to him at the docks, I accidentally saw something covered with canvas at the back of the cabin, and then it happened to be blown up by the sea breeze, and I saw that under the canvas was covered with a large harpoon gun, and an old fisherman like him disdained to use this kind of thing, unless he had a special use. That's why I tricked him, but I didn't expect it to work. ”

The second uncle frowned when he heard this, "You mean he's also looking for that giant fish?" ”

I said, "Maybe he's just trying to catch big fish, like sharks or small whales or something." ”

"I can't rule out this possibility," Wen Mo nodded, "But judging by his performance after hearing my question yesterday, he must know something!" ”

I recall Lei Lao's performance yesterday, it is indeed very abnormal.

Wen Mo held up the stick-like thing in his hand to show us, "What's wrong?" I took it and looked at it, "Is there anything wrong with this stick?" As I spoke, I twisted it with my hand, and when I snapped, this "wooden stick" was actually pinched into powder by me, and I was stunned, "This!" ”

The second uncle pinched a pinch of powder, twisted it, and then looked at Wen Mo with some surprise, "This is wood algae?" ”

Wen Mo nodded, "That's right, I just looked at it, and there are a lot of dried wood algae on the outside of the hull of the front and back of this ship. ”

The second uncle's brows twisted into a pimple, "It seems that there is indeed a problem with this ship!" ”

I didn't understand, so I asked the second uncle what is called woody algae, and the second uncle told me that this kind of algae lives in island caves that do not see sunlight all year round, or in shipwrecks with gas space, and belongs to an extremely rare marine planktonic algae, and many cultural relics salvaged from shipwrecks are sometimes attached to this kind of thing. The presence of this algae on the hull of the ship now indicates that the ship was once parked in an island cave for a long time. It is impossible to have such a place on the coastal continent or even near the sea, then this place must be in the depths of the sea, and the island where the cave that can accommodate a ship is located must not be too small, but there is no such place on the map, so this place must be unknown and extremely mysterious.

Hearing the second uncle say this, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous in my heart, "Second uncle, Old Man Lei won't hurt us!" ”

"Impossible!" The second uncle touched the short knife on his waist, "There are three of us, he is only one person, who harms whom!" When the time comes, if there is a real problem, we will ......"

As soon as the second uncle's words came to this, Wen Mo suddenly made a silent movement, and we hurriedly shut up, only to hear a few footsteps on the deck, and Lei Lao's figure appeared at the mouth of the warehouse.

Lei Lao glanced around us, "It's almost noon, we're going to make something to eat in a while, do you have anything you don't eat?" ”

The second uncle smiled, "No, we eat everything, you can watch and do it." ”

Lei Lao nodded, walked into the cargo hold below, opened the lock on the hatch, went in and took out two black snapper fish, locked the door again, and then went to the deck to pack the fish.

The second uncle looked at Wen Mo, and then the second uncle walked to the door of the cargo hold, I don't know what to take out, I picked the door lock in a few clicks, gently pushed the door and walked in, and Wen Mo leaned on the hatch to let the wind out.

Soon, the second uncle came out again, but I saw that his face had become iron-blue, gloomy and frightening, and I looked behind him, and saw that he was holding something in his hand, and a white lantern was carried on a wooden pole.

When Wen Mo saw it, his face turned to the side, and he said in his mouth: "This is!" Conjuring Banners! ”
