Chapter 132: The Mysterious Ancient Ship
That's a very magical word!
Xiang Ji and Lao Hu suddenly had a little headache, not for anything else, everyone has made it clear that it is their ancestral property, you can't just move all the good things in it without saying a word, right? Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ info
"Tell me what happened. "Although I feel a little distressed about the task reward of being diverted, but compared to this, whether they can find what they want in time in the huge shipwreck is obviously the more important thing, Xiang Ji decided to listen to what Lu Xueqi has to say first.
"I also heard the elders say the specific situation, it is said that our Lujiazhuang branch was moved from other places more than two hundred years ago... A slightly mysterious legend slowly unfolded in Lu Xueqi's narration.
About 200 years ago, a man surnamed Lu appeared on Dongting Lake with a large boat. No one knew where he came from, and no one noticed the way such a large ship entered the lake, and he appeared, along with his family and servants, and there must have been more than four hundred of them.
According to the man surnamed Lu himself, he is a businessman who has just returned from overseas with his family and relatives, and his ancestral home is here, hoping to return to his roots. So under the powerful offensive of opening up the way with money, the man surnamed Lu quickly gained a firm foothold in the local area, naturalized, bought land, enclosed land, built houses and recruited tenants at the same time, and soon built a decent village on the east bank of Dongting Lake.
This village is naturally the future Lujiazhuang, it is said that it was quite normal in the first few years of its establishment, but the man surnamed Lu, who is the owner of the village, did not spend much time in the village, he spent most of his time in Dongting Lake, the big boat that is said to carry him back from overseas, and it is worth mentioning that the boat has never docked in the long period of seventeen years, and has always drifted on the lake.
More than seventeen years passed like this, and on a rainy summer night, something happened that changed the fate of the village. Although it was raining that night, the rain was very light, there were no violent winds and thunderstorms at all, the lake was calm, and there were boats coming and going near the water where the big ship was located.
But on such a calm rainy night, a huge lightning bolt suddenly appeared, and with a loud bang, it hit the mast of the big ship! The thunder and lightning were obviously extraordinary, and after hitting the hull mast, the volume expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it became a huge pillar of thunder that stood up to the sky!
In the terrifying thunder pillar composed of hundreds of millions of thunders, the big ship of the Lu family was completely wrapped, and the blue-white lightning and thunder snake reflected the hull brightly, and the witnesses in the distance even felt that the entire hull had become crystal clear, like a whole huge crystal.
They found that the hull of the big ship began to sink rapidly in a package of thunder and lightning, but it disappeared completely from people's sight in a few seconds, and when the hull sank, the huge pillar of thunder that reached the sky flashed twice, and then disappeared.
No one thought that in that case, the people on the ship would still be able to escape, and the ensuing search and rescue did not find any survivors, and the mysterious ancestor of the Lu family disappeared completely in a sensational and bizarre accident.
One can imagine how it was possible for such a thing not to cause an uproar among the people? When the news of the death of the head of the Lu family spread when the news spread that the Lu family's ship was attacked and sunk by a huge thunderbolt, rumors spread all over the place, saying that Lu Jiazhuang must have done something that was angry and resentful of the heavens, and that it would only be like this when he was punished by heaven.
It was also at this time that Lujiazhuang suddenly dismissed all the tenant long-term workers from outside, and since then it has remained semi-isolated from the outside world. For more than 100 years after that, there were almost only people from the Lu family in this villa, and few people with foreign surnames existed.
The proportion of men in Lujiazhuang who marry women with foreign surnames is less than 20%, and the daughters of Lujiazhuang never marry outside, either marrying in the clan, or recruiting sons-in-law from outside, in short, they only enter and do not leave, and finally become a 3,000-person village living together after more than 100 years.
"It is said that on our genealogy, the ancestors left a legacy, asking our descendants to hide the edge, Taoguang and obscurity, and not allow martial arts to be revealed in front of people within ten generations, and most importantly, don't touch that boat!"
"If you touch the ancestral ship, your family will be in danger!" These are the original words above. I read the genealogy once, and this passage is a bloody book, especially the last few words, the blood stains are red and black, and the whole handwriting is almost splashed with blood! I just looked at it twice, and I felt the full tragedy and blood, and my heart was so pressed that I didn't slow down for most of the day. Lu Xueqi's face was solemn when she said this.
If you move a broken ship that has been sinking for more than 200 years, you will be wiped out, and your own family will have to be wiped out? This sounds like a panic! Moreover, it is recorded in a blood book, and the warning meaning of this is so strong that it can be imagined, and the man surnamed Lu is obviously afraid that future generations will not listen to the admonition and salvage the ancestral ship. Xiang Ji looked at Lao Hu and felt that there was evil nature in this story.
"I see, no wonder the boat hasn't been fished out for so longใใใใใ Lao Hu said while looking at the drawings.
"Yes, on the one hand, the boat is very large, and the water in the middle of the lake is very deep, so it is almost impossible to salvage, and on the other hand, there is this blood book left by the ancestors. Lu Wendong interjected.
"How deep? Lu Wendong's words reminded Xiang Ji that he still didn't know the depth of water in the target area, which had a great impact on the mission.
"At least above 100 zhang, the specific number has to be measured on the spot, because the underwater terrain is still relatively complex. Lu Wendong replied.
"The exact position of the ship is about 670 meters underwater, and this information is available in the mission data. I took a look at the diagram, and it was basically the same as the cabin structure provided in the mission data, but it was more detailed, and things were basically correct. Lao Hu added.
Xiang Ji nodded when he heard this, he knew that Lao Hu's so-called matter was basically right, referring to Lujiazhuang's statement that the shipwreck was his family's ancestral property, and Lao Hu thought that the other party was telling the truth.
Xiang Ji also thinks so, it is unlikely that such a decent and detailed lie will be made in a short period of time, after all, it is unlikely that they will know about the mission issued by the Lord God, and the picture itself is the most powerful evidence.
"Then let's do it, this time you go to the shipwreck with me and Lao Hu, and after the matter is completed, the things will be divided among you, and the specific distribution depends on what you get in the end. Xiang Ji discussed with Lao Hu and officially issued an invitation.
"Okay, we have no problem!" Lu Wendong and Lu Wentai brothers were all looking at their sister, maybe they had been instructed by their elders before leaving, and Lu Xueqi, the little girl, was as cool as ever, and agreed without saying anything.
The agreement was reached, the group sped up, and soon came to the Dongting Lake, Xiang Ji looked at his watch, the time had passed two hours and 7 minutes, and he still had two hours to spare.
Lao Hu's little brother took out a black ball-shaped object and threw it into the water, and the black ball quickly expanded after entering the water, and it became a rubber boat more than 20 meters long in a few breaths, but it is said to be a boat, but judging from this length and the complete superstructure on the boat, it is completely okay to say that it is a small fishing boat.
"Ahh
"What kind of material is this ship made of? It looks soft, not like wood. โ
"Good thing! With such a small boat, it is so convenient to go out!"
Even in modern times hundreds of years later, it is impossible to compress the rubber boat to such a small size, and it does not need to be inflated to deploy quickly, let alone the ancients who did not know what rubber was, so the people of Lujiazhuang naturally shouted.
"It's nothing, when you go to the Lord God, you will see more good things, you can slowly understand it in the future, now let's get on the boat first." Time was limited, Xiang Ji didn't want to explain more, and hurriedly beckoned the people of Lujiazhuang to hurry up and get on the boat.
After the group jumped onto the rubber boat, their own special people got into the wheelhouse to control the boat, and soon launched it, speeding towards the center of the lake at the same speed as an assault boat, leaving the dark shore behind them.
The boat drove faster and faster, and finally turned into a Caspian monster-like ground effect aircraft, the strange way of flying out of the water, and the amazing speed of up to 300 knots made the people of Lujiazhuang amazed again, calling Xianzhou!
At this high speed, which is comparable to that of a subsonic passenger aircraft, the group soon came to the coordinate location marked in the mission data, that is, the waters where the ancestors of the Lu family were struck by lightning and sunk.
"Here it is!
