Chapter 446

After walking straight to the vicinity of the iron book, Chen Ziyang squatted down and looked at the thing that might have recorded the location of the Qing dragon vein treasure with a flashlight.Seeing that the person walking was Chen Ziyang, the two team members left behind by Liu Cong did not stop him.

After using a flashlight to take a circle around the five exposed sides of the iron book, Chen Ziyang did not find any seams or the like. It seems that Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian came up with the name "iron book" , this is not a book made of iron.

After looking around, Chen Ziyang did not see any microorganisms in the ocean attached to the surface of the iron book. The surface of the iron book showed a very natural metallic luster, and it was relatively smooth and well preserved. Like what it should look like after 70 years of immersion in seawater.

Chen Ziyang guessed that this was because the material for casting the iron book was special, or because the iron book was stored in a particularly well-sealed box and did not directly contact seawater.

If there is no huge "卍" pattern composed of four dragons on the surface of the iron book, Chen Ziyang will think that Liu Cong and the others have taken the wrong thing, but the existence of this pattern proves that this is indeed Mrs. Zhang. There is no doubt that the iron book mentioned by Xu and Wang Dingqian in the clues left behind.

After finding no trace of bonding on the exposed sides, Chen Ziyang wanted to turn the iron book over to see if there was anything on the side pressed against the deck.And when he grabbed the iron book with both hands, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes, this iron book is so heavy!

The size of the iron book is not too large, about 40 centimeters long, 30 centimeters wide, and about eight or nine centimeters thick.Before Chen Ziyang thought that since this thing was called an iron book, there must be some hidden content in it, and it wouldn’t be heavy, so he didn’t use much strength when he picked up the iron book, but what he didn’t expect Yes, he almost didn't pick it up.

As a student of mines, Chen Ziyang saw most of all kinds of iron objects from childhood to adulthood, ranging from iron ore to fine iron powder. It can be said that he has a very good understanding of iron and steel. From the weight and volume, he discovered one thing, nine out of ten, this iron book is solid, there is no interlayer at all.

This discovery made Chen Ziyang's heart tighten.Then he quickly turned the iron book over and looked at the back of the iron book, and something even more surprising happened. The back of the iron book was extremely smooth, without a single pattern.

"Ah!" Chen Ziyang yelled in surprise, this is really strange, isn't it said that the location of the Qing Dragon Vein Treasure is recorded in this iron book?But why is there nothing?Except for the "卍" pattern, there is not even a word or a picture on the surface of the iron book, and the inside of the iron book is still solid. This is really strange. Where is the clue hidden?

After picking up the iron book, Chen Ziyang shook it vigorously, and at the same time put his ear close to it, listening carefully.There was only the sound of the sea breeze in my ears, and there was nothing inside the iron book, otherwise there would be the sound of collisions.

While shaking the iron book, Chen Ziyang found that the weight distribution of the iron book was very even, and there was no place where it was lighter. At this moment, he completely gave up and did not run away. The iron book There is no interlayer at all.

At this time, Liu Cong, who had finished talking with the first officer, walked to Chen Ziyang's side, saw Chen Ziyang's puzzled expression, and said coldly: "Seeing your expression, I knew you also found the problem. up.

When I was in Bailangwan, I simply read the iron book, and I also showed the same puzzled expression as you. This matter is easy for us to think. I thought that if we found the iron book, we could find the clues to the treasure, but I didn’t expect it , we are still far from knowing the location of the treasure.

It's windy outside and the light is not good, let's go in and talk about it, let's study this thing carefully and try to see if we can see some clues, otherwise, we will really lose a lot of money. "

Chen Ziyang knew that Liu Cong's compensation did not refer to money, but to the loss of Zhang Linfu, Guo Huaxing, Fang Zheng's life, and even half of Jinhuang for finding the iron book. Not to mention the dozens of other team members, so many people have already sacrificed their lives for this thing.

From Liu Cong's tone, Chen Ziyang could tell that Liu Cong had no confidence, and he didn't have much hope for finding clues from the iron book.

The structure of the iron book is too simple, what is on it is really clear, and in the era of iron book casting, it is impossible to have any high-tech means to hide the clues, so it is really important to find clues in the iron book. It is more difficult.

On the way, Chen Ziyang asked Liu Cong about the first mate, and after learning the reason, he realized that the biggest beneficiary of his relationship this time out to salvage Bailang pills turned out to be the first mate.

The Hailaoyue is expensive to build, and one person cannot afford it. This ship has more than a dozen shareholders, among which the captain Hei Qi and the first mate hold the most shares.The two had been fighting openly and secretly for a long time for control of the ship, but the first officer was always overwhelmed by Hei Qi.

Hei Qi has been adrift at sea all his life, never married, let alone have children, once he dies, the first officer will naturally seize control of the ship.It's no wonder that the sailors followed the first mate's order after looking at each other for a few moments, because they had already realized that the captain of the ship would be the current first mate.

Liu Cong fulfilled his promise and did not take away anything other than the iron book from Bailang Wan. Naturally, the first officer should also fulfill their agreement, and now the ship will immediately turn around and go to Shanghai .

Liu Cong had already told the chief mate about the gold and silver in the Bailang Wan. According to his estimation, after the ship arrived in Shanghai, the chief mate would replenish supplies immediately, turn around and return to salvage the long-awaited treasure. .

Chen Ziyang shook his head. He felt that if Hai Lao Yue came back here again, he might lose a lot of lives.The living dead in the shipwreck are not something these people can handle.

Originally, he wanted to persuade Liu Cong that when encountering such a thing, it is best not to disclose information about gold, otherwise these people will be in danger, but after thinking for a while, Chen Ziyang shook his head , canceled this plan.

Even if Liu Cong didn't say anything about the gold, a sunken ship alone is already attractive enough. The chief mate and the others had to return to the Shanghai Stock Exchange because of fulfilling the agreement, otherwise they would go into the water immediately Salvage Bailang Wan again.

Without the magnetic field emanating from the organ coffin, all the instruments on the Hai Lao Yue are functioning normally, and the salvage will not be as difficult as before. In the worst case, only two submarines for underwater operations can be sent there.

People's greed is infinite, and greed also gives people an incomparably huge motivation.Chen Ziyang knew that the reason why Liu Cong leaked the gold information was entirely because of the first officer's greed. After knowing that there was gold here, the first officer must be eager to salvage it, so the return speed of Hailaoyue will increase. Not a lot, in order to make a round trip as soon as possible.

Now for Liu Cong, or for Chen Benzhong's entire organization, the most important thing is to seize the time to decipher the location of the Qing dragon vein treasure hidden in the iron book. Taking advantage of the first officer's greed can just shorten the time to go back , This is what Liu Cong most hopes to see.

After returning to the cabin, Liu Cong asked the two team members to guard the door. He took the iron book and got into the cabin. Chen Ziyang asked Yang Lei and Ushishuai to go back to rest, and then walked in.

The iron book was placed on the table, and two people sat on both sides of the table, staring at the iron book intently.

Under the illumination of the white flag lamp in the cabin, the iron book showed its original color.It looks black at first glance, but if you look closely, it should be dark brown. This is a manifestation of insufficient purification of iron ore, and it also conforms to the casting process of the Qing Dynasty.Except for the difference in color, everything else is the same as what Chen Ziyang saw before.

After just a few minutes, both of them looked away. It wasn't that these two people could only focus on these few minutes, but that there was really nothing to see.

The iron book has a total of six sides, five of which are very smooth, without any decorative patterns, only the front of the iron book has something.But only a little bit.

On the front of the iron book, in addition to leaving a two-centimeter-wide frame, the middle is recessed about one centimeter deep, just like a picture frame. In the center of this picture frame is the "卍" composed of four dragons. A zigzag pattern that almost fills the space in the frame.

Chen Ziyang rubbed his swollen temples, relieved his headache and let out a sigh of relief. He has seen this pattern too many times, and he has already judged that this symbol represents the dragon vein treasure of the Qing Dynasty. What is it but no clue.

"Are you saying that Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian are sick? They spent so much effort to leave a clue, and even hid the clue in a Taoist holy place. It's hidden enough, and ordinary people can't find it at all.

But what about the result?Now we have expended so much energy, but after getting the clues, we still don't know anything. Now I suspect that these two people don't even know where the Qing Dynasty Dragon Vein Treasure is. This is a joke, a big joke. "Liu Cong showed a frustrated expression.

"Impossible. You also know about the Taoist Holy Land. These two people solved many puzzles and reached the main tomb of the Taoist Holy Land. They have real skills. They can't make fun of this matter.

Moreover, in the more than 100-character clues left by Zhang Taixu, his tone is very sincere. From the lines, it can be seen that he hopes that the descendants of Taoism will open this treasure and restore Taoism. He would make fun of the lives of Taoist descendants. "

"Why don't I know this, but you have seen this book, there is no hint at all, there is only such a pattern that represents the treasure of the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty that I have seen countless times.

The inside of the iron book should also be solid. Although this has not been verified, and we need to wait until we go back to test it with an instrument, but I don't think there will be any surprises.

Forget it, you are already very tired, go back and rest, I will do some research. "

After nodding his head, Chen Ziyang left the room, leaving Liu Cong with a dazed face and the iron book exuding metallic luster.

Liu Cong's little trick worked. In order to return to salvage the Bailang Wan as soon as possible, the Hai Laoyue under the command of the first officer ran at full power. The voyage, which originally took more than three days, was completed in only two days.It seems that in order to hurry up, the chief mate has ignored the wear and tear of the machine, and now nothing is more attractive than those gold and silver.

According to Chen Ziyang's estimate, if it wasn't for Hai Laoyue to return to the port to replenish supplies, it is very likely that the first officer will directly send a speedboat to pick up and pull Liu Cong and others back, so that he can stop at the original port. directly started to salvage.

Back in Shanghai City, far away, Chen Ziyang saw Chen Benzhong standing at the door of the building, looking forward to the direction of the convoy. The plump woman was standing beside him, holding Chen Benzhong's arm arm.

Liu Cong wrapped the iron book with a piece of cloth, and the moment he got off the car with the iron book, Chen Benzhong ran up to Liu Cong, holding Liu Cong's wrist tightly, and quickly walked into the front of the building. door.The two of them disappeared from everyone's sight.

"It's over? What about the three of us? This is really killing the donkey after the mill is finished, and beating the cook when it's full. Is there such a thing? We came all the way to help, without even saying thank you." Seeing that no one was talking to the three brothers, Yang Lei stomped his feet angrily and kept cursing.

"Come on, it's better for us to do less of such hot faces and cold butts in the future." Shuai Sanshi was also very dissatisfied with the attitude of these people.

"Okay, okay, aren't we all targeting Mr. Zhang Linfu? Liu Cong was pulled in, and it wasn't that he deliberately snubbed us, so let's say a few words less." Although Chen Ziyang was also very concerned. Dissatisfied, but he still persuaded the two of them.

"Er Yang, what should we do next, let's go home?"

"Let's find Liu Cong's people first, and get back all our mobile phones that were taken away before. I don't want to buy a new mobile phone. Then I will play here for a few days. I want to see Jin Huang, but I don't know. How is he now, is he better?"

When Jin Huang was mentioned, Yang Lei and San Shishuai calmed down a lot.This kid is really interesting. In order for everyone to become the current virtue, we should go and see him. Anyway, he has come here, and it is not bad for a day or two.

After making up their minds, the three wanted to return their mobile phones, and took a taxi to find Jin Huang.
