At around five o'clock in the morning, I deliberately took a detour and went back through the back door of the hotel.
"Brother, you are back."
"Brother Li, you got up so early!"
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the corridor, I saw Li Xiangling squatting on the ground smoking.
"Haha, go to bed early and get up early. It's good for your health. Brother, I said this nice hotel doesn't have a big bed. Why, you took a beautiful woman to play in the field?"
I reacted and immediately said, "Hey, what's the big deal! Not all men like this!"
The two of us looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Li Xiangling blew out a puff of smoke and said with a grin, "Did you do it three times last night? Are you good at Sai Xishi?" ??
"Haha! I won't say anything until now! Thank you for your arrangement this time, brother!" I laughed.
"Brother, look, I'm going to leave this to you, brother."
There is no free lunch in the world, so I started asking for something in return, but it was just right for me.
I called Li Xiangling aside and whispered, "There happens to be a big job, and we need seven trustworthy people. These seven people must be good at water, and we can do it 25:50."
I briefly told the legend of "silver hidden in ancient pagodas". Li Xiangling was very excited after hearing this. He patted his chest and promised me that he would arrange the manpower and there would be no problem.
I decided first and then made the decision later. This time I made the decision without reporting it to the boss because I had my own considerations.
As the saying goes, a quick knife cuts a mess, and those who do big things are most afraid of hesitation. If I ask the boss for his opinion first, how can I take charge of it alone in the future?
First, because of Tian Sanjiu’s relationship here, I’m sure the people in Ningbo won’t dare to touch me unless they don’t want to hang out on the road in the future.
Second, Brother Yu is here too.
Under double protection, I simply don’t believe that this group of Ningbo people would dare to rebel.
And the most important point is that digging the tower foundation to find the entrance to the underground palace is a big project, not to mention working underwater. There are not enough manpower to do this job.
Baotou has a prejudice against Ningbo people. To use a popular saying among young people nowadays, Baotou is a little black guy. I think Baotou may be bitten by a snake once and be afraid of well ropes for ten years. This group of Ningbo people are the most suitable helpers at the moment.
I went back to the house and told Brother Yu about the plan. Brother Yu frowned and said, "Yunfeng, this is no small matter. I think it would be better if we talk to the boss."
"What else can you say? Brother Yu, just listen to me this time! I have already planned it!"
"If you tell me! That boss will definitely not let me partner with people from Ningbo!"
"But"
"It's okay! I'm afraid of this and that.
Nothing can be done! Brother Yu, you have to agree with me. If I ask about it, you will say that we have something to do and need to stay in the fishing village for three or four days!"
Seeing how confident I was, Brother Yu shook his head and did not object.
Because time is precious, I immediately contacted Dr. Song’s husband, Lao Kong, and asked him to help me buy seven sets of diving suits and supporting tools from Sea World. Lao Kong on the other end of the phone said in a somewhat excited voice, “Seven sets! Damn you!
! It would be okay if the warehouse was short of two or three sets! You want seven sets at once! And you are in such a hurry! You think I am doing wholesale here!"
I smiled and said, "Brother Kong, you have to think of a way! After all, money can't be taken for nothing! Don't forget that you also get a share. Helping me is equivalent to helping yourself."
On the other end of the phone, Lao Kong's tone suddenly sounded like a deflated rubber ball. He said, "At 4:30 in the afternoon, we will pick up the goods at the same place."
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.
A speedboat was sailing on the Xin'an River. I sat cross-legged on the stern of the boat and felt a little cold.
Except for Brother Yu and I, everyone else on the boat was helped by Li Xiangling. I didn’t know any of these people, but they had one thing in common, which was that they were good at water.
The boat sailed for a while, and Li Xiiling patted me on the shoulder. He pointed ahead and said, "Brother, look, is it that small island?"
"That's right. This is the only place where masson pine grows." I looked at it and said.
It is said to be an island, or more accurately, it is a section of rocky mountain above the water. There are many masson pines growing on the mountain. This should be the "Tata Mountain" described by the old man. It is hard to imagine that this area was still a lively place before 1959.
village.
We parked the boat on the back of the hill and tied the boat to a big rock with a rope. After putting on the equipment, I ordered, "Two of you will follow me to the stepping point. The others will stay put and watch the equipment."
Li Xiangling and another man immediately volunteered. Li Xiangling didn't say anything anymore. This man was tall and round, and he was probably a good hand in the water. Just like that, following my order, the three of us jumped in at the same time.
Into the lake.
The visibility underwater at night was very low, so I had to rely on a waterproof headlight for illumination, but even so, I was still shocked by the scene after entering the water.
No need to look for it at all, you can see it at a glance.
An ancient blue brick pagoda with a total of eight floors! Standing impressively in the water! Just behind the hill, looking from a distance, the entire ancient pagoda actually glows with a strange "green light" under the water. I think this should be the refraction of light.
s reason.
plum
Xiang Ling and the big man probably had never seen this scene before. They stared so hard that the boss didn’t dare to step forward. I cursed silently, a coward, and then dragged the cylinder and swam around the brick tower. Soon I saw,
There is a closed door on the bottom floor of the brick tower. It is made of wood and half of it is buried in the mud. I think if I open this door, I can take the stairs to the top of the tower, but I don’t know whether the stairs inside are made of wood or stone.
If it's made of wood, it's probably too rotten to leave. After all, this tower has been around for four to five hundred years since the Ming Dynasty.
Because the tower door has been soaked in water for many years, a layer of white hairs like spider webs has grown on the surface. I guess it is the white hairs formed by the superposition of dead water bugs.
The height and size of Fude Pagoda are similar to what the old man described to me. There is a bluestone tablet embedded in the brick wall on the upper right side of the tower door, with a bunch of names engraved on it. In the first row on the top floor, the word "Fang Gong" is engraved.
.
This must be Fang Weixun.
After studying the tower body, I focused on the tower base, and found that the situation was much worse than I imagined.
It was all silt, accompanied by all kinds of waste and garbage, which completely covered the base of the tower! I calculated that if there was a hidden underground palace within this area, if I wanted to dig out the underground palace, I would have to go down at least four times.
meters deep, equivalent to the height of a one-story building.
This is not the most difficult thing. The most difficult thing is that I don’t know the specific location of the entrance to the underground palace. This means that I have to dig up the 20-meter radius of the ancient pagoda.
Let me take a step back and say that there is an underground palace under the base of the tower. That is what I have guessed based on experience! What if I find it in the end after digging?
Before I came here, I was full of confidence and wanted to make a fortune by doing big business, but the reality poured cold water on me. The difficulty and the amount of work were too great. No wonder the silver ingot has not been found for so many years.
After going up, I sat on a rock and stared at the lake in a daze. Li Xiangling handed me a cigarette and a lighter.
There was a lot of wind at night, and his voice was a little louder.
"How's the survey going, brother? Have you found where the silver is hidden? It seems like you're not sure about it?"
I thought to myself, "If I say I can't do it now, and you all go back to your homes to find your own mother, will these people chop me into pieces and feed them to the fish?"
I flicked the ashes from my cigarette, pretending to be relaxed and smiling, "Don't worry, everything is under my control."
Li Xiangling breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good. If we return without success this time, then I, the gang leader, will be embarrassed in front of my brothers."
I immediately said, "Although I am sure, any accident may happen, so you have to
Be prepared to come back without success."
Li Xiangling's face immediately darkened.
I quickly looked at Brother Yu, who nodded to me.
"Haha, it's okay, brother!"
Li Xiangling turned to smile and said, "We all obey your command. If we really get nothing, then these brothers can't blame you."
What he said sounded a bit weird, as if he was implying that if I couldn't find the treasure, I would be cut into pieces. I, Shenyanfeng, was not scared of others!
I stood up immediately, but Brother Yu was one step ahead of me.
He grabbed Li Xiangling's collar and said coldly, "Boy! Pay attention to your attitude when talking to Yunfeng!"
Letting go of Li Xiangling, Brother Yu picked up a long strip of stone on the ground. With a cold face, he slashed it with a knife! The stone was broken into several pieces on the spot.
Seeing that Brother Yu could break rocks with his bare hands, not only Li Xiangling, but also the eyes of his men changed obviously. Li Xiangling immediately laughed and said, "I'm just kidding, brother! Don't take it seriously! We are in the same boat now!"
At this time, I stood on the stone mountain and looked up at the night sky. The bright moon was in the sky and the sky was filled with stars. I looked at the countless stars and thought to myself, "If Master Yao were here, could he find the entrance to the underground palace of the Underwater Fude Pagoda? If so, he would
What will you do?"
What is the highest level of tomb robbing?
The answer is undoubtedly, look at the stars.
I have seen the Tianxing Feng Shui secret map with my own eyes, but I really can't understand the meaning of the profound star map on it, let alone apply this method in actual combat.
Master Yao graduated from the fourth grade of primary school, and I graduated from the sixth grade. I later went to the second grade of junior high school. It stands to reason that my academic qualifications and cultural level are higher than his, but why can't I understand the mysteries between the stars and the ancient tombs?
?
I am definitely not stupid. In the early years, I praised my talent more than once. From the low difficulty of loose soil at the beginning, to the more difficult tasks of finding the mouth, looking at the water, tasting the soil, breaking the roof, listening to thunder, positioning the four bowls, etc.
I learned it all in less than a year.
With half a cigarette in my hand, I stared at the stars in the sky for a long time, which made my eyes sore. I finally realized that the stars are still stars.
Suddenly my hand was burned by a cigarette butt, and I quickly threw it away.
The next second, the discarded cigarette butt emitted sparks and stuck straight into the soil like a falling rocket.
Seeing this scene, I quickly turned my head and looked at the lake, then I looked at the cigarette butt, and then looked at the lake.
