Chapter 317: The Golden Compass and the Erawan Buddha
Putting the Order of the Rising Sun in his hand into the bag, Li Xiaofeng found a pistol in the fine sand on the ground next to him.
Although this gun has also been rusted, some exquisite ornamentation can still be seen on it, and it is clear that this gun is not an ordinary pistol of mass production.
It's a pity that no matter how beautiful it is, Li Xiaofeng doesn't have the courage to put it away and take it back.
At this time, Han Minghua, who was searching on the side, also seemed to have discovered something, and swam towards him with something in his hand.
After swimming to his side, Han Minghua handed over the things in his hand, and after Li Xiaofeng took it, he only felt a sinking in his hand.
When he got it in front of him, Li Xiaofeng found that it seemed to be a compass used by the ancients to indicate the direction of navigation.
There is nothing unusual about the compass itself, but the material of this compass is not ordinary, its shell is made of gold, and it is also carved with exquisite patterns, although it has been soaked in the sea for a long time, but its appearance is still golden in the light!
After turning it over, the back of the compass is also inlaid with a variety of more precious gemstones, and each compass looks extremely gorgeous, and it is worth a lot of money at a glance.
Looking at the heavy golden compass in his hand, Li Xiaofeng's heart couldn't help but be overjoyed, even if the two of them couldn't find anything behind them, today would be worth the trip!
After giving Han Minghua a thumbs up, he put the golden compass in his hand into his bag, and then swam towards the storage cabinet with the door hidden next to him.
Since the cabinet door itself was not fully secure, he easily opened the door of the locker.
It's just that when he opened the cabinet door, he didn't know what he saw, and he stood there all of a sudden, staring straight into the cabinet with his eyes.
Han Minghua, who was not far from him, also swam over at this time, stretched out his head and looked at the cabinet, but when he saw the contents of the cabinet clearly, the whole person was instantly stunned.
It took a long time for Li Xiaofeng to react, and instantly a huge joy surged into his heart, this time he really made a fortune!
There's really only one thing in the cupboard, and that's a lot of gold!
There should have been a wooden chest in the cabinet before, but due to the long-term immersion in the seawater, the wooden box had already rotted, so the gold in the cabinet was scattered and stacked in the cabinet.
However, in general, there are more than a dozen large gold bricks under the cabinet, and the top of the gold bricks are also visited by various gold jewelry and gold Buddha statues.
At this time, Han Minghua also reacted, hugged him, and through the mask, Li Xiaofeng could feel his excitement at this time.
Li Xiaofeng was also just as excited at this time, feeling that his heart was about to jump out, if it wasn't for the bottom of the sea, it was estimated that the two of them would be able to jump up happily.
Li Xiaofeng stretched out his hand and picked up the top golden Buddha statue, which sat on the lotus throne with a beautiful demeanor and a serene posture.
What is a little strange is that this Buddha statue has four faces and eight hands, and each hand holds a magic weapon.
Obviously, this is a Buddha statue of the four-faced Buddha, the four-faced Buddha is the common name of Brahma, one of the three main gods of Hinduism and Brahmanism, it is said that he is the god who created the universe, and is also considered to be the god of boundless magic and the glory and wealth of the world in Southeast Asian countries and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
The four faces of the Erawan Buddha represent love, career, health, and wealth, and its eight hands hold eight different Dharma Weapons with different meanings:
Holding the command flag in one hand represents the almighty force; Holding the Buddhist scriptures in one hand represents wisdom; Hold the conch in one hand and bless the world; Holding the bright wheel in one hand, eliminating disasters and subduing demons; Holding the scepter in one hand represents achievement; Holding a kettle in one hand, the wind and rain are smooth; Holding a rosary in one hand, holding the reincarnation of the world; Holding a mudra in one hand, sheltering sentient beings.
Legend has it that the Erawan Buddha is also a benevolent and responsive deity, so he has many believers in Southeast Asia, especially in Thailand, and his incense is very prosperous.
There are many wealthy people and celebrities in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and they will even go to Thailand to worship the Erawan Buddha.
However, it is said that although the Erawan Buddha claims to be responsive, you should also pay attention when making a wish, if you promise to give the Erawan Buddha something to fulfill your wish, then you must keep your promise to repay the vow, otherwise the Erawan Buddha may also take what is given to you.
In addition to the four-faced Buddha statues, there are four other Buddha statues in the cabinet, two of which are wearing high, pointed Buddha crowns, which is also a typical style of Southeast Asian Buddha statues.
Therefore, Li Xiaofeng suspects that these gold bricks, gold jewelry and gold Buddha statues are all looted from Southeast Asian countries by this suicidal captain of Xiaori, but unfortunately he should have been unlucky and was attacked by fighter jets on the way back.
In a hurry, the cargo ship left the course and came to this remote sea. Due to the complex topography of the seabed and the many underwater obstacles, the cargo ship eventually ran aground and sank, and the captain committed suicide in despair.
Although all this is just Li Xiaofeng's speculation, it shows that it is indeed very likely that this is also the case.
During World War II, Xiao Ri looted a lot of wealth in these Southeast Asian countries, and even now the Philippines still has the legend of Xiao Ri's army general Yamashita Fengwen's treasure.
It is said that this treasure was the army general Yamashita Fumi, who plundered a large amount of treasure during the invasion of Southeast Asia, which included thousands of tons of gold, a large number of diamonds, jadeite, antiques and works of art, the total amount of which is estimated to exceed 100 billion dollars.
The Kohi government demanded that the treasure be shipped back to its home country, but due to the Allied control of the Pacific Ocean and the previous attack on Awa Maru (the BJ skull is said to be on the ship), Yamashita was unable to bring the treasure back to Japan.
In order to prevent this treasure from being received by the victorious powers, Yamashita Fumimi's treasures were buried in many parts of the Philippines, and these treasures became known as Yamashita Fumi's treasures.
This is not groundless, after World War II, there were indeed Filipinos who found a number of treasures buried by the Japanese army, and finally this treasure also involved the then Philippine President Marcos!
Li Xiaofeng gestured to Han Minghua, and the two of them began to frantically fill the bag they brought with the gold, and after a while, the two of them finished filling the gold in the cabinet.
In fact, after separation, it is put into a bag, and it doesn't look like much, but because of the high density of gold, the weight is not light.
After filling the gold in the cabinet, Li Xiaofeng went to the only safe in the corner of the room, and the cabinets outside were full of gold, so what kind of precious things should be in this safe?
Before swimming to the safe, Li Xiaofeng tried to pull the door of the safe open. Unfortunately, he was not able to pull the door open the safe this time, despite his great strength and the strength he had exhausted.
Han Minghua didn't believe in evil and came over to try it a few times, Li Xiaofeng couldn't open the door, he definitely couldn't open it, and both of them couldn't help but be a little at a loss this time.
If you want to say that the safe is still here, then Li Xiaofeng must be reluctant anyway, he thinks that the contents of the safe should be more valuable than the gold found outside!
At this time, Han Minghua suddenly pointed outside, and Li Xiaofeng instantly understood what he meant, nodded and picked up the gold in the bag and swam outside.
Han Minghua picked up the gold on his back and swam out closely behind him.
