Golden Fishing Village

Lao Lu and his group determined that the shipwreck in the hydrothermal area was closely related to Cai Qian's treasure, but they did not expect that the relationship was so huge.

After Ao Muyang returned to the ship with the photos, they looked overjoyed when they saw the photos on the computer: "Found it! Found it, finally found it!" "Right here, Ma De, that bastard Cai Qian is really there." species, hiding the treasure in the high-temperature hydrothermal activity area!”

"I just said that we are short of a diver master. Look, the diver masters are cooperating. Isn't this treasure ready to be released immediately?" Shen Zhifu was also very excited, his old face turned red.

Only Ao Muyang didn't understand the secret. He asked curiously: "What do these symbols mean? Can you understand them?"

Under the excitement, Lao Lu became very talkative. He said happily: "Of course I can understand it. This is the Jiuyuan Talisman that was popular in the coastal areas during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is also called pirate writing, which is the slang of pirates."

Shen Zhifu further explained: "You know the Dan people along the coast, right? They are the sea gypsies among our Chinese nation. They live on boats all their lives and never set foot on land. They speak the Fuzhou dialect of Fujian as their mother tongue, but they are different from traditional The Min Dong and Fuzhou dialects have many unique customs and are a relatively independent ethnic group.”

The Dan people Ao Muyang knew it, and he asked: "The Dan people still have a unique writing? Can they not develop writing?"

Shen Zhifu said: "How can I put it, they did not develop writing in the true sense, but the Dan people did not have schools to go to, and they could not learn Chinese characters systematically, so they created some symbols to simply describe certain things. These symbols are It was called the Jiuyuan Talisman. Later, the pirates came into contact with the Dan people, and they learned the Jiuyuan Talisman and used it with each other, giving it the nickname "Pirates' Talisman."

"Then what's written on it?" Ao Muyang asked.

Shen Zhifu chuckled and said, "I don't know him either. Let's let Lao Lu identify it. He knows the Jiuyuan Talisman."

Lao Lu carefully looked at the symbols on the photo and subconsciously wanted to say something, but then he closed his mouth and finally said vaguely: "Well, I don't understand it either. This photo is a bit blurry and intermittent."

Ao Muyang pouted and said, "You still want to hide it from me."

Lao Chai, who knew his diving skills, immediately said: "Director Ao, please don't get me wrong. Since we are partners, we must be honest with each other. We have no intention of hiding anything from you. But there are many people here now. Wait until we enter the cabin. We’ll talk about it in detail later.”

After his words fell, King Kong said hurriedly: "We can't let him go to our cabin."

Upon hearing this, Ao Muyang's expression suddenly changed.

Of course he understood what King Kong meant. The cabin was full of private things such as weapons.

Lao Chai immediately glared at King Kong and then winked at Lao Lu, warning Lao Lu not to offend Ao Muyang. After all, to obtain the treasure, he had to dive into the deep sea, and this depended on Ao Muyang.

Lao Lu reacted quickly and immediately smiled at Ao Muyang: "Director Ao, sir, my brother is a bit vindictive. We had a misunderstanding at dinner last night, and he is still a little unhappy with you."

After saying that, he kicked King Kong in a dark voice and said, "When will your boy's temper change? Marde, last night was not about killing his father and seizing his wife because of his deep hatred. How long are you going to remember it?"

King Kong was tall and thick, but thick on the outside and thin on the inside. He caught up with Lao Lu's thinking and deliberately showed dissatisfaction and said: "He beat me up."

Lao Lu said angrily: "I'll beat you if you beat me. Director Ao didn't do any tricks. He just wanted to confront you head-on. What's there to say if you're not as good as others?"

King Kong swallowed his saliva blankly, then angrily threw his hands away and walked into the cabin.

Lao Lu smiled at Ao Muyang and said: "Still, Director Ao, you sir, my brother is just a small-minded man. He is not a bad person. You will know if we have more contact with you in the future. As for the display of the Jiuyuan Talisman on these pictures "Ahem, I really don't fully understand what it means, but to show my sincerity, I'll explain it to you here."

Ao Muyang asked: "Aren't you going to the cabin?"

Lao Chai interrupted: "I'll go later, I'll go later, let Lao Lu talk to you here first."

Lao Lu said: "This ship is undoubtedly Cai Qian's flagship. The Jiuyuan Talisman on it has little to do with the treasure. They are actually prayers and curses. According to the custom of pirates in the Qing Dynasty, they would put them on the flagship Carve the Nine Abyss Talisman to bless your own ship and curse your opponent.”

Shen Zhifu nodded and said: "That's right. The reason why the Jiuyuan Talisman got such a name is mainly because the people thought it was a sinister inscription. It was originally carved in the coffin to introduce the identity and career of the deceased, to mourn the deceased, to flatter the ghost, and to make people feel happy. These words followed the deceased into the underworld and were shown to those in authority in the underground world.”

Listening to the introduction, Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Professor Shen knows a lot."

Shen Zhifu understood that he was sarcastic about what he just said about Jiuyuan Fu, so he sneered and said: "These are all related legends. I am only interested in legendary and unofficial history. I can't take it seriously."

Lao Lu continued: "Listen to me. The Jiuyuan Talisman has no direct relationship with Cai Qian's treasure. It does not record the treasure location, but it only needs to be used to determine the location of the flagship, because according to the information we found, the treasure location Just below where the flagship sank!"

Ao Muyang was moved and said: "The bottom of the sea is under the flagship. You mean the pirates buried their treasure on the bottom of the sea - no, the shipwreck is pressing down a hydrothermal vent. Could it be that the vent is blocked by the treasure?"

Shen Zhifu waved his hand and said: "That's impossible. The formation of hydrothermal vents is due to the high temperature of the newly formed ocean crust. The seawater penetrates downward along the cracks, and then heats up in the deep crust to dissolve various metal elements in the surrounding rocks. Then it rises and erupts along the cracks. The force of the eruption is very strong and it is impossible to be blocked."

Ao Muyang asked: "What's the matter with the hydrothermal vent at the location of the shipwreck? Why doesn't it emit black smoke?"

Shen Zhifu smiled: "That's not black smoke, it's the chemical reaction of hydrothermal fluids rich in metal elements and cold seawater..."

"Don't talk about these useless things, Professor Shen, just get to the point." Lao Chai interrupted him and said, "I can't stand you always giving lectures. It gives me a headache."

Professor Shen didn't care about his attitude and still smiled: "Okay, then I'll say it directly, it's blocked, it's very safe, once the hydrothermal outlet is blocked, it will never open again, it's safer than a dead volcano."

Old Lu nodded excitedly and said: "In other words, the treasure is actually hidden in the hydrothermal vent!"

At this point, he couldn't help but slap his thigh and said: "Good Cai Qian, he really found a good place to hide the treasure!"
