Chapter 935: Treasures From a Sunken Ship

He Lingchuan and Ding Zuodong were checking the exam papers of the new manager, without even looking up: "What good news?"

He wanted to hear good news now.

"We found a lot of shipwrecks."

"Oh?" He Lingchuan looked up and saw Min Tianxi laughing, "After the evil spirits of the Fourteen Islands were driven away, we found a lot of shipwrecks around the newly opened waterway. There is also a bay at the northeast end of Longji Island. We named it Shipwreck Bay, which is like a cemetery for shipwrecks. There are still a few ships that are intact, probably just entered this year."

Whether they were blown in by the wind or lost their way and went deep into the archipelago, these ships went in and never came out again.

He Lingchuan became interested, threw the paper to Ding Zuodong to worry about, and clapped his hands and said, "Let's go and take a look."

After placing the Xinglong Pillar to collect the Yinsha, he had no time to tour his territory.

At this time, he hoisted the cloud sail to cross the sea, sat at the bow, and saw the bright clouds floating in the sun, the sky was wide and the land was vast.

That trace of anxiety, that much trouble, was blown away by the wind and waves.

The beauty of the world makes people's worries even more ridiculous.

Several fishing boats passed by along the way, all casting nets to catch fish. These waters were rarely visited by people before, and the fish were fat and stupid, not knowing the evil of human hearts.

When He Lingchuan was sighing at the scene of the fishing songs, Min Tianxi had already sent people to drive the boats away-

This is the private waters of the island owner He, and the fish in the water naturally belong to the island owner He, and no fishing is allowed without special permission!

Entering the bay at the northeast corner of Longji Island, which is the Shipwreck Bay named by the pirates, He Lingchuan did see all kinds of remains and floating objects.

The broken ships here are extremely crowded, one on top of another, all stacked on the coast.

Some broken wooden boats even have mangroves growing in them.

The northern waterway of the Yangshan Islands is very busy, with a large number of ships shuttling back and forth every year. A very small number of them will mistakenly enter the depths of the archipelago due to factors such as getting lost, hurricanes, and even changes in the range of Yinsha, and then there is no more.

The wrecked ships drifted with the current, some sank to the bottom of the sea, and some were carried to the archipelago by the ocean currents, and gradually turned into wreckage under the erosion of wind and waves.

For many years, Longji Island has been a remote place at the cape, and even practitioners dare not trespass. This place has become a cemetery for sunken ships, and Yin Hu is not interested in it. It was not until He Lingchuan absorbed all the evil spirits in the northeast corner of Longji Island that humans could set foot here.

The archipelago guards under Qiu Hu and Min Tianxi have begun to lead people to search for shipwrecks.

Min Tianxi went from being excited at the beginning to being embarrassed later:

These piles of remains like small mountains are basically rubbish.

Under the infiltration of Yin Sha and sea water for many years, human bones, silk, and pearls were all corroded, leaving no residue; coins rusted into copper green, and even gold and silver were dull.

Not to mention that the magic tools in this environment have also become broken copper and iron.

More than a hundred people rolled up their sleeves and went into battle together. In a few minutes, Taobao turned into scavenging.

Min Tianxi regretted it a little. As soon as he found the shipwreck cemetery, he asked He Lingchuan for credit. If he had known this, he should have sent people to search it first.

He Lingchuan patted him on the shoulder: "There is no gold and silver, but the harvest is still very good."

More and more gold, silver, gems, and jade rings were found from the bottom of the ship and the mudflats in the shipwreck cemetery. Although it was not as abundant as Min Tianxi imagined, the number was also steadily increasing.

In just two hours, the treasures found were about 200 taels. After a little polishing, they would become the gold and silver ingots that everyone loves.

Such a large shipwreck beach would take two or three months to excavate.

In addition, there are a large number of jade seals, seals and personal belongings in the shipwreck.

At this time, a whistle came from a distance, and a pirate standing on a intact large ship waved and shouted: "There is a way here!"

Wang Fubao said curiously: "Hasn't that ship been searched before?"

There are only a few intact ships, so they must be searched first.

Min Tianxi said with a smile: "There are often secret rooms and compartments on the ship. Some are cleverly hidden. You should listen carefully when knocking on the board." Inexperienced people can't find it.

These Rongshan people are extremely powerful, but when it comes to robbing and stealing ships, they are far from being experts.

Everyone boarded the ship and saw that there was a secret room next to the cargo hold, and the doorway was quite hidden.

Before the door was opened, Min Tianxi turned the handle of the knife upside down and knocked everywhere to listen to the sound. "This secret room is really not stingy. It is estimated to be at least five feet square."

The ship itself is large, with three floors above and below.

Wang Fubao pointed at the lock and said, "Will you know the size after opening it?"

"Hehe, how can it be that simple?" Min Tianxi gestured to one of his men, "Everyone get out of the way, don't stand opposite the keyhole. Turtle, come and unlock it!"

The team member called Turtle took out a small gadget from his arms, carefully stuck it in the keyhole, and retreated to the side.

The lock pick looked like a winch, with two long metal rods. Guizai was a foot away from the door, pulling the winch to try to open the lock.

Dozens of people were crowded in the narrow aisle, watching him slowly operate the lock pick.

Three circles to the left, three circles to the right, wrong.

Do it again.

I don't know how many times the lock pick turned, the air quickly became stuffy, and the smell in the sunken ship was not good. Wang Fubao couldn't help but said, "Hey, how long will it take?"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a click, and the lock opened.

Xiang Lian patted Wang Fubao's head: "Why didn't you ask earlier? Ask earlier and open it earlier."

The two were joking, and suddenly two small holes collapsed above the keyhole. With two whooshes, two steel nails shot out and pierced the wooden board opposite.

Three points into the wood, the force is quite strong.

Fortunately, no one was standing in front of the keyhole, otherwise there would have been two more holes in the body.

"There is a mechanism on the door. Once the lock is opened violently or abnormally, people will be hurt by hidden arrows." Min Tianxi took out a pair of short pliers and pulled out the nail and took a look at it. "The nail head is also quenched with poison."

The magic circle will be eroded by evil spirits, but the mechanism will still remain.

No one opened the door. Wang Fubao wanted to ask how many losses they had suffered in the past before they became so cautious.

After five or six breaths, another stream of green smoke came out of the doorway.

Poisonous smoke, the second mechanism is activated.

Everyone stood far away so that no one was sprayed, but they still subconsciously held their breath. Xiang Lian casually performed the Dancing Wind Technique and let the wind carry away the poisonous smoke in a wave.

Min Tianxi cursed: "These damn ghosts are quite cautious."

So what's the point of being cautious? Aren't they all dead here? If God wants it to die, it must die!

After waiting for a long time, the secret door stopped behaving like a monster, so Turtle Boy took a long stick and pushed the door open.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

The more sinister the agency is, the more valuable the things in the secret room are.

This place really lives up to expectations, as soon as the door opens, it's full of jewels!

Pirates, no, the guardsmen all screamed.

The darkroom here is four to five square meters in size. There are three large boxes and three small boxes stacked up. Originally, the boxes were covered and tied with ropes. I don’t know what happened to the ship before it lost control. One large box overturned and the ropes were tied. He also took it off, and the gold and silver jewelry inside was scattered all over the floor.

When the waves came, the boat swung, and a golden rabbit rolled to the feet of He Lingchuan. He picked it up and saw that the ornaments, which were as long as one finger, were heavy and carefully carved. The rabbit hairs on the round tail were still clearly visible. The rabbit eyes were made of rubies, which shone brightly when exposed to the light.

Other curios and ornaments are also of excellent craftsmanship.

The ship crashed not long ago and can still float on the water. Otherwise, if the cabin is filled with water in the future, the babies will not be so beautiful.

He Lingchuan ordered people to take out all the boxes and open them.

The three big boxes were all filled with gold and silver, ranging from ingots, ingots, ingots, bars, to various animal shapes. He Lingchuan had never seen gold and silver in so many shapes.

Anyway, no matter what he looks like, he is lovable.

Among the three small boxes, two boxes contained various precious utensils and jewelry, tightly wrapped and neatly arranged. Qiu Hu casually opened a brocade bag and saw a necklace wrapped inside, inlaid with forty-eight equally bright and clear jadeites, and edged with diamonds, which was extremely elegant and luxurious.

The last small box contains various miscellaneous items.

A small bag of plant fruit seeds, a few bottles of red liquid, a few stamps, a few pieces of ore, etc.

Ling Guang jumped down from He Lingchuan's shoulder, raised the seed bag and smelled it: "It seems to be herbal medicine."

It accepted it unceremoniously.

Min Tianxi's men took out another talisman, lit it, stuffed it into a bottle filled with water, took another sip of water, and sprayed it towards the contents of the box.

There was a "pop" sound, and the sky was filled with water mist.

Qiu Hu and others couldn't help but take two steps back: "What is this?"

"Check whether there is a curse on the treasure." Min Tianxi explained, "We encountered this kind of sunken treasure a few years ago. One unlucky guy was cursed and half of his body was rotten. He died before returning to the shore for treatment... Well, these The baby is very clean and has not been touched.”

Looking at these windfalls, everyone laughed from ear to ear. Only He Lingchuan thought for a while and said to Min Tianxi: "Can you find the captain? Or the person with the highest status on the ship."

Min Tianxi immediately said: "Let's do it now. This boat looks quite new, and the dead people may not have been completely eroded by the evil spirit."

After saying that, he immediately led people to search the cabin.

He Lingchuan nodded secretly. Min Tianxi carried out his boss's orders without asking why, which shows that he began to adapt to the change in status.

This ship is larger and more majestic than ordinary merchant ships, with an air of grandeur throughout. The materials used for the hull and the layout on the boat are also very particular, unlike ordinary people's cars.

If the boat owner has status and status, his belongings should be more precious.

Soon, Min Tianxi found two suitcases in a certain cabin compartment. The clothes inside were exquisite and of high quality. There was even a set of armor for ceremonial purposes, inlaid with gold, pearls and jade ornaments, and he went there to blind people.

There is also a mark on Yi Jia's chest.

But no human remains were found on the ship. Unfortunately, it is difficult for ordinary creatures to survive the erosion of evil spirits.

He Lingchuan had no choice but to give up and ordered people to move several boxes of belongings back.

Afterwards, Ding Zuodong calculated that, in addition to the rewards given to Min Tianxi and other leading parties, Shipwreck Bay has currently sent Master He more than 37,000 taels worth of treasure.

As expected, no one can be rich without windfall! He Lingchuan's net worth has temporarily returned to the level of more than 280,000 taels——

Although it won't last long.
