Li Huqiu wore shorts, hung the baling beads on his chest, and simply put on a diving mask. With the gleaming baling beads, he shuttled through the dark ocean less than two meters away. The whole world has no
Gravity, no color, no sound, is like a long jump into the soul. The process of searching alone in the deep and endless darkness is a huge test for human psychology. Li Huqiu does not care about the huge water pressure in the deep sea that mortals cannot bear.
But this hopeless search made him feel extremely anxious. Under the illumination of Balingzhu, he could see the deep and winding underwater water cave. Sometimes it was as wide as a giant door, sometimes as narrow as a small alley. It became darker and darker as it went down, and the temperature of the water became higher and higher.
The lower the temperature, the lower the pressure. Li Huqiu had to actively stimulate the blood to stimulate the heart to beat and balance the body temperature. The buccal cavity was filled with air, and he relied solely on this breath to resist the pressure of the strong water pressure on the eardrums and facial features. The portable water depth meter shows
The depth has reached 700 meters, which is more than seven times the diving record of ordinary people. Suddenly, the water channel in front suddenly became narrow, and the gap between the wide and narrow areas could not allow one person to pass. Under the light of Balingzhu, Li Huqiu could see clearly
There was a skeleton stuck there, with a bright pearl vaguely hanging on the neck, which glowed faintly against the light of the Baling Pearl. It was the orb of the Pope's scepter and the captain of Mussolini's guard.
From the look of his death, it is easy to see that this guy died of greed, lack of energy and stupidity. He had already reached the limit of diving but still insisted on squeezing his lungs, sucking in his chest and shrinking his bones to drill in. As a result, he could not survive and died here.
Everyone on the boat was staring at the sea nervously. He Luosi was explaining to others the dangers of the diving method in Li Huqiu. This type of diving without oxygen bottles and no protective gear is called freestyle diving. Generally speaking,
It is a common practice that all free divers need special protection for their ears to resist water pressure. During the diving process, the diver's heartbeat will drop to 10 beats per minute and the lungs will shrink to the normal 16. This refers to the average person, Li
This guy Huqiu is not one of them. However, people have their own limits of endurance. If he cannot accurately grasp this limit, he is likely to be in danger. He can hold his breath for two hours on the shore, but he doesn’t know if he will be able to endure it in deep water.
It won't be possible.
There was a row of ropes tied to the side of the boat, one end was coiled on the boat, and the other end was pulled into the water by Li Huqiu. This idea was thought of by Chen Lili, which could not only save Li Huqiu the trouble of carrying it back and forth, but also measure the depth of the dive.
.One of the ropes suddenly moved. Shang Nan was the first to see it. There was movement! When he pulled it, he realized that it was very light. He quickly pulled the rope up, and what he finally pulled out was a box. No one cared to look at the box.
What was inside? Several young people were extremely excited by the surprise of finding something in this deep-sea treasure hunt. Soon they found that the ropes were being pulled one after another. Shang Nan quickly pulled up all the moving ropes, and Qiu Tianze
He was responsible for untying the treasures brought up by these ropes and putting them away. When the last rope was left, Li Huqiu floated up with the rope. The five people on the boat all let out a sigh of relief when they saw it.
Li Huqiu boarded the deck, briefly thanked the five people for their concerns, and then eagerly came to a dozen treasures. These boxes have been sleeping on the seabed for nearly a hundred years since 1900. They are all made of wooden lacquerware.
After hundreds of years of erosion, it was covered with a thick layer of microbial algae. Li Huqiu took out a sharp flying knife and lightly removed the debris on the surface of the box, restoring the original color of the box. The bright red paint color was revealed.
, the other five people couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"There is a gourd-shaped water channel below. At 700 meters, there is a gourd with a very narrow waist. You need to suck your chest and shrink your bones to get through. If you continue to dive to that position and do this every time, no one can stand it. The sunken ship is there.
The bottom of the gourd was shattered into pieces, and not many things on the boat were left intact. It would take at most three trips to get everything that could be taken out of the boat. He glanced at Shang Nan, who was eager to try, and said with a smile: "This
Let’s go down together this time. It’s too laborious to get in and out of the gourd waist. I’ll go down and you wait there. Some things will get stuck in the gourd waist and I won’t come up from underneath. You can help me there.”
Chen Huiqi said there was only one underwater pearl, how could he see it?
Li Huqiu took out another scepter pearl and handed it to Shang Nan, "This thing can be used underwater for a day after absorbing enough light. Let's make a quick decision and try to get everything that can be fished out of the sunken ship at once."
Come up." He then told Qiu Tian to prepare more ropes.
Two hours later, Qiu Tian had prepared the rope, and the seventeen treasures salvaged for the first time had also been cleared out by Li Huqiu. After taking out one of the boxes with a very unique shape inlaid with rubies, everyone couldn't help but come up.
Everyone watching took a breath of air-conditioning. This was a box made of the most precious golden nanmu and inlaid with a huge ruby that was rare in the world. But the value of this package was more than tens of millions! Li Huqiu suppressed his inner emotions.
Curious and excited, they muttered something like "Why on earth should something be packed in such an expensive box?" As if by magic, they took out a small wire and opened the box. Everyone took a closer look and saw a pocket watch lying quietly in the box.
"This is Patek Philippe. At the World's Fair in London in 1851, the Queen of England selected and bought a Patek Philippe pocket watch. This pocket watch with a new rotating handle is suspended from a gold brooch set with thirteen diamonds.
, the enamel blue gold watch cover is decorated with roses made of diamonds. In 1895, this watch was presented to the Queen Mother of the West by the British royal family. After the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing, it disappeared after a catastrophe in the cultural relics world. This watch is the most famous watch in the world.
A unique treasure. Not only because of its historical value and precious raw materials, but the most rare thing is that its maker is Raymond I, who is known as the most outstanding watchmaker in history." Chen Li Li took the piece
I held the Perpetual watch in my hand and compared it with the electronic clock on the bow. The difference was only less than two minutes! One hundred years, one minute. This is Patek Philippe that no one can own, it is just kept for the next generation.
Li Huqiu looked at her admiring the look and suddenly smiled and said, "Do you like it? I'm giving it to you!" Chen Lili immediately put the watch back into the box like a needle prick, shook his head and said, "I don't dare to take this seriously.
It’s too valuable!” Li Huqiu smiled slightly and did not give in. He picked up another box. This was a small copper box that was severely rusted. Li Huqiu’s eyes lit up as soon as he picked it up. It was not because of the box but because of the box.
For the lock on the box, he handed the box to Qiu Tian and said, "Old fox, what kind of lock is this?" Qiu Tian took it and looked at it, and his color suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "This is the Qibao Exquisite Box! This one
The lock is the Tianxin Lock." Li Huqiu sighed: "Exactly! It's a pity that it has been rusted and cannot be used. I leave it to you. Let's see if you have the ability to copy the same thing. I don't know what kind of treasure it is.
It is qualified to be placed in our stolen sacred vessel."
He Luosi watched Qiu Tian pick up the small copper box with both hands and carefully put it aside. He was not so solemn when the shocking Patek Philippe came out just now. Is such a small broken box more valuable than that watch? I can't bear it.
He asked, "What is this? Is it worthy of you two being so excited?"
Others also looked at the two of them, obviously wanting to know the answer. Qiu Tiandao: "This thing is of little value to you, but to us, we might not even be willing to exchange it for a city. It's called
The Qibao Exquisite Box, although it is only so big, can hold seven treasures. It only needs one lock to lock seven secret compartments. Each time the lock is opened, only one secret compartment can be opened. After seven times, it needs to be re-opened.
Put the treasure in it and continue to use it. The most rare thing about this treasure is that the seven unlocking methods are different. There is no mistake in the order. If you make a mistake just once, all seven treasures in the box will be destroyed, including the lock and the person who opened the lock.
Don’t even think about living!”
Li Huqiu said: "This thing has been soaked in the deep sea for so many years. The explosives hidden in it have long been useless. Even the Seven Apertures Heavenly Heart Lock has become ineffective. This thing has been lost for many years. When I first learned the art, I only heard about it.
The name has not been seen in its form, I only heard the master talk about its appearance."
"This box was made by me, the founder of the bandit clan in the Song Dynasty, Wo Laiye. It has always been treasured by the first generation of thieves. Unfortunately, during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising in the late Qing Dynasty, the founder of the bandit clan at that time also participated in it. After the defeat, in order to avoid the Qing Dynasty,
Ting Zhuishu had no choice but to become a monk and become a Taoist priest, but at that time, the box was taken away by the Ouchi guards and sent to the palace. It has been missing since." Qiu Tian gently wiped the Qibao Exquisite Box with a dry cloth, his expression moving.
Everything is gentle, as if it is the love of his life. He has been almost obsessed with the information of the agency in his life. This exquisite box with seven orifices is the pinnacle of the ancient agency. The changes in it are endless and mysterious. To him, it is better than the interpretation of the message.
Lovers who are like flowers are still precious.
Li Huqiu stood up and moved his limbs. The baby looked back slowly and said, "Let's go down when we are ready. We will try our best to avoid going down this time."
Under the water, Li Huqiu entered the water for the second time and already knew the way. Shang Nan followed him closely and swam all the way to the deep water. He saw that everything was silent and dark, except for the shining pearl on his chest. Going down further, he could only feel the water.
The pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and the coldness of the sea water was getting heavier. He controlled the heart rate and body temperature as Li Huqiu told him. He followed Li Huqiu and dived all the way to the gourd waist. He watched Li Huqiu emerge from the narrow entrance of the cave.
Drilling in, I secretly admired Li Huqiu's amazing soft skills. If it were him, he could only squeeze his internal organs, shrink his bones and loosen his muscles to drill in. Doing this in this deep sea would consume a huge amount of his physical strength.
Two or three times is the limit.
Not long after waiting, I suddenly saw a rope moving. I quickly pulled it up and pulled the underwater object to the waist of the gourd. Only then did I understand Li Huqiu's intention of letting him come down. This time, the thing tied to the rope was huge. It was a chair.
The pagoda-like object is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The thick part is almost the same as the diameter of the gourd waist. It can get stuck if you are not careful. Shang Nan carefully took out the pagoda-like object, and then the continuous rope was pulled.
, Shang Nan was very busy, pulling up more than thirty items in succession. When he saw that there were only a dozen ropes left at hand, he suddenly saw a light flashing in the cave with the waist of the gourd, and then he saw Li
Huqiu got out as quickly as possible and waved desperately for him to come up.
Shang Nan knew something was wrong, so he pulled the rope, and the people on the boat quickly pulled them up. As they were going up, they just came out of the strange hole formed by the volcanic eruption. Before the two of them could get out of the water, a huge black shadow appeared in the slant.
He fired at them, feeling bad. Then Shang Nan's ankle was pulled by something. He had no place to rest in the water, and he couldn't exert force in the deep water. He only felt this huge force at his ankle.
However, he was unable to resist, so he could only hold on to the rope tightly and let the unknown creature in the water behind him pull him upright. The joints throughout his body crackled under the huge force. Li Huqiu, who was in front of him at the critical moment, suddenly turned around
, the flying knife in his hand swung past under the light of Balingzhu, and cut off the object holding Shang Nan. The two of them dived quickly without caring about whether their bodies could bear it as the person above them pulled hard. The giant beast in the sea was injured.
Then he chased after him even more fiercely.
Qiu Tian on the deck operated the winch and quickly pulled the two of them up. The tight force just now rattled the crane protruding from the bow of the ship, which made him suddenly realize that there was an unexpected situation under the water, and he quickly
Increase the power. At the same time, the harpoon at hand was on full alert. Suddenly, a large red mass appeared in the sea water. The three girls on the deck were stunned with fear. Before they could scream, water splashed everywhere.
Li Huqiu and Shang Nan pulled the rope side by side and flew out of the water. For a moment, Shang Nan seemed to have a snake-like creature entangled around his ankle, which was as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
Li and Shang jumped out of the water. They heard Li Huqiu shouting in mid-air: "Hurry up and leave, there is a big octopus under the water." As soon as they finished speaking, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the clear sea water.
Immediately after the water splashed, several thick and incoherent tentacles came out and swung towards Li Huqiu, who had not yet boarded the ship. Another tentacle that was still spraying with blood went straight to Shang Nan.
Qiu Tian was also shocked and shouted: "What a big octopus."
He Luosi recognized this object and said loudly: "It's not an octopus, it's a king squid."
In mid-air, Li Huqiu let go of the rope and flew away to face the huge tentacle that attacked him. When he approached, he cut off the tentacle again with a wave of the knife in his hand! His body seemed to have lost control and he quickly fell into the sea. Others knew about the giant beast in the water.
It was amazing. I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw this situation. I saw him standing firmly on a rock protruding from the sea, and I felt relieved for a while. The squid in the water was severely injured again, and became ferocious. The broken tentacles
He whipped it hard at Shang Nan. Qiu Tian stood at the bow of the boat, holding a sharp harpoon in his hand. Seeing this, he quickly threw the harpoon to Shang Nan. He took it in the air and waved his backhand, just in time to touch the squid's tentacles.
The fork handle and the squid's tentacles were split into two at the same time. A huge splash rose from the sea, and the body of the king squid the size of a locomotive was completely exposed. Its giant eyes were like lamps, illuminating several people, and its blood-red pupils were shining with bloodthirsty light.
A strange howl followed by a loud splash and then it dived into the water again.
Li Huqiu and Shang Nan looked at each other and vomited a mouthful of blood almost at the same time. It turned out that they had ascended too fast and their lungs had expanded too fast and almost out of control, causing both of them to suffer internal injuries. He Luosi greeted the two of them to get up quickly.
The boat immediately weighed anchor and left quickly. Unexpectedly, as soon as Shang Nan boarded the boat, but before Li Huqiu could catch the rope Qiu Tian threw over, a huge wave suddenly surged in the sea, and the Kapok tree dozens of meters long was thrown away.
The boat was lifted up to a height of more than three meters! Li Huqiu's blood surged from within, and the fishy sweetness hit his throat under the pressure. He flew up, put one foot on the head of the giant squid, and used his strength to jump again, almost as close to the side of the ship.
Shang Nan was still in mid-air when he quickly threw out a rope with quick hands and was caught by Li Huqiu. He turned around in mid-air, looked at the giant beast in the sea with murderous intent in his eyes, shook his hand and launched a flying knife, hitting the big squid in the middle.
Giant Eyes. I heard the squid let out a miserable roar, turned over and dived into the water and disappeared instantly. This time, it dived straight into the water. It seemed that it was too familiar with the situation and did not dare to challenge it again.
On the deck, Li Huqiu and Shang Nan leaned on the side of the ship and panted. Li Huqiu also held a piece of cut off tentacles from the squid in his hand, handed it to He Luosi, and said viciously: "I'll eat this tonight.
!" He smiled miserably: "The place where the ship sank was this ghost's lair, and there was a wide waterway at the bottom of the gourd. This guy suddenly came back and met me. I almost lost my life. I was so damn frustrated. He was killed by an animal.
Bullied."
Everyone was in shock. They had just seen them both vomiting blood and knew that they had suffered serious internal injuries. Now they were relieved to hear that Li Huqiu was still thinking about joking. Chen Huiqi came closer to Shang Nan to show concern.
How was his injury? Shang Nan was in severe pain in her chest and abdomen at the moment, and her internal organs were all injured. She had no energy left to talk to her, so she just nodded and said it was okay, looking very painful. Li Huqiu's injury was actually similar to his, but he had endured it since he was a child.
He was used to pain, and he had experienced pain worse than this, so he was still able to talk and laugh.
Chen Lili asked: "What should we do now?" Li Huqiu glanced at Shang Nan, steeled himself and smiled bitterly: "What else can we do, return the same way, damn, this thing is simply a deep water overlord." He added.
: "There are still many gold and silver utensils and large pieces of porcelain in that broken ship, but we have already obtained what we need and left them to future generations."
No one else had any objections. He Luosi adjusted the course and followed the procedures. On the way back, they encountered a patrol boat of the Malaysian Coast Guard, and Chen Lili came forward to solve the problem with a few words. Li Huqiu and the other two secretly rejoiced that with him and
In Shang Nan's current weak state, if the coast guard questioned them, they might capsize in the ditch. After a smooth journey, the Kapok finally returned to Crescent Bay, Labuan Island, through wind and waves.
In Li Gangfeng's house, fifty-seven treasures that have been cleaned are placed in the center of the living room. Four large objects, an enamel six-sided glazed pagoda from the Yongzheng period, a blue and white double-horned five-clawed dragon pattern vase from the Yuan Dynasty, from the official kiln of the Song Dynasty
A Jun porcelain kiln turned into a colorful cloud and mist statue, and a Song Dynasty official kiln made a porcelain inlaid with gold to remove the dragon furnace. Li Huqiu is worthy of being a disciple taught by the master of touching gold. He can judge the shape of the vessel only by the faint light in the deep sea of Baling Pearl.
The four great artifacts found are all treasures among treasures. Except for the lower value of the Yongzheng enamel six-sided glazed tower, the other three are all rare treasures. Any one of them put up for auction is enough to shock the entire antique world! Li
Huqiu was secretly happy. He really caught a big fish this time. He didn't have to worry about how much money he was short of. Suddenly, a small object in a box attracted his attention. "That's right! This is it."
