Two hundred and forty-three chapters, the moon is born on the sea
Chapter 243, The bright moon rises over the sea
"Li Yongjun is a nun. In fact, it was not her choice. She is an orphan. She grew up in a Taoist temple since she was a child and was accepted as a disciple by Master Haodong. She doesn't know many people, and her interactions with people outside the Fengmen are very limited.
Young Master, especially a romantic young man like you, this is probably the first time I have met him."
This was Xiang Yinghua sitting there in You Fang's ward that night, whispering between them.
You Fang couldn't laugh or cry: "A romantic young man? I can't afford it."
Xiang Yinghua was slightly angry, and his tone seemed to be coquettish: "Really? Mr. Rand is a young hero, with a strong reputation in the contemporary world. He is also brave, brave, talented, and unparalleled. These words are not what I said.
, but the unanimous evaluation of today’s colleagues, do you still want to refuse?”
You Fang was almost sweating: "Yinghua, who do you think I am?"
Xiang Yinghua: "I don't think of you as anyone. You are Rand in my eyes. You have done your best. It seems that I only asked you one thing and you didn't refuse... I shouldn't have said that.
Too many, but after all, Li Yongjun is a disciple of the secret method, and I am afraid that he will inherit the mantle of Master Haodong in the future, not a woman in the world."
You Fang quickly waved his hand and said: "Yinghua, stop talking, I will never provoke her, and I will never bully you in front of you in this life."
Xiang Yinghua: "Why don't you say you will never bear any responsibility?"
You Fang sighed: "I can't say it. I miss my master Liu Li all my life, and I don't know how much I have to bear..."
Xiang Yinghua raised his head and immediately interrupted him: "Rand, I know who you are."
You Fang lowered his head: "I'm not a good person."
Xiang Yinghua: "Yeah."
You Fang: "I am indeed very romantic."
Xiang Yinghua: "Yeah."
"I..." You Fang couldn't continue.
Xiang Yinghua stood up, pointed out the window and said, "Look, what a beautiful moonlight."
You Fang also stood up and held her arm and said, "Yes, the moonlight is so beautiful! Let's go to the balcony to enjoy the moon."
…
Three days later, Niu Yuepo, the leader of Wo Niu Sect, brought his son Niu Jinquan, disciples of Ming Cuiquan Xiong Weibo and Xiong Luxian, disciples of Sanyuan Sect Luo Bin and Yu Chengyun, disciples of Bazhai Sect Liang Guanghai, disciples of Xingfa Sect Murong Chunming, Longlou
He sent disciple Shi Shuang, disciple Li Yongjun of Diezhang Sect, elder Xiang Yinghua of Songhe Valley, and a young senior Mei Lande to go to sea together.
Two elders of the Xiaosha Sect, Liu Xiyan and Cang Lan, accompanied them. The sailors on the cruise ship were all close disciples of the Xiaosha Sect. Zhang Liuhua and Bao Ran, disciples of the Xunluan Sect, followed them on the yacht, while Bao Min, the elder of the Xunluan Sect, and the leader of the Longlou Sect
Menlong Yujie was also on the yacht.
The sand-killing faction wanted to investigate the matter of fishing for porcelain from the sea, but how could they investigate in such a vast sea? Since everything was led by Mr. Rand, the route was naturally decided by the traveler. Before setting off, he took out a nautical chart and provided a latitude and longitude, so that
Liu Xiyan drove the boat directly to that place.
Liu Xiyan didn't ask any more questions, and immediately complied and ordered his disciples to sail in this direction. The voyage was expected to take more than a day.
That evening, a bright moon rose over the sea. You Fang and Xiang Yinghua stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the shimmering moonlight in the sea waves. No one said anything, but the moonlight twined around them like a flower.
There seems to be substance floating around people.
They were practicing and recuperating from their injuries. It was movement in silence and dance without posture. You Fang circulated his spiritual consciousness, nurturing pure yang water essence in the spiritual hub of heaven and earth. At this moment, of course, he was not warming and nourishing Qin Yu, but seemed to be comforting the person who sprinkled the water.
The moonlight. The spiritual thoughts towards Yinghua are like condensed, seemingly invisible and everywhere. The coordination of this spiritual pivot is wonderful and seamless.
Some people were admiring the moonlight on the bow, while others were looking at the pair of wall figures under the moonlight on the viewing platform, with silent admiration in their hearts. At this time, Li Yongjun gently walked to the side of the bow and held his hands on the side of the ship silently.
Leaning on the railing and looking out, You Fang and Xiang Yinghua discovered that she was also running her spiritual consciousness, integrating it into the water spirit spiritual hub rising from the sea.
The two of them had a clear understanding of each other, and they moved their spiritual pivots almost at the same time. The secret techniques under the moonlight seemed to be combined into a ritual, like an ancient legend of building wood, or like the heavenly secret array operating in Songhe Valley, with the wonder of nourishing the body and spirit.
Integrating into Li Yongjun's consciousness - this is to help her heal.
Li Yongjun was slightly startled, but it was not easy for him to use his consciousness to resist. He still stood there silently, his figure was very faint, as if melting into the night. At this time, the sound of the waves on the bow of the ship seemed to turn into the rhyme of a piano, and someone else was moving his consciousness.
With consciousness, Cang Lan sat quietly on the leisure chair next to the viewing platform, unfolded his consciousness to gather the water essence, and also integrated the wonderful techniques of everyone.
Immediately afterwards, another person unfolded his spiritual consciousness. Niu Jinquan was seen pretending to be holding the railing and looking at the moonlight, but he also used the secret method without losing any time. There was no fancy mystery, just integrating his spiritual consciousness into it. Murong Chunming stood on the lower floor.
He glanced up on the deck and unfolded his consciousness without saying a word. Then Yu Chengyun and Luo Bin, who were drinking tea at the stern, also moved their consciousness in unison, and being in harmony with everyone seemed to soothe their souls...
It's very interesting. Masters from various factions work together to perform magic tricks under the night. This time it's not for testing, and it's not difficult to perform. It looks quiet and warm. It blends into the aura of heaven and earth to nourish the body and spirit. This is the real fun of practicing the Fengmen secret method.
A yacht followed the boat from a distance. Long Yujie and Bao Min, two spiritual masters, were also looking at the night scenery, and suddenly felt that the sea in front was filled with spiritual consciousness. Bao Min smiled slightly and said: "I
I wanted to persuade Mr. Rand to recover from his injuries before going to sea, but so many comrades couldn't wait that long, so they followed him out to sea in order to take care of him. Now seeing this scene, it's quite strange to work together to nourish the spiritual consciousness.
It is suitable for recovering from injuries. After this trip, the injuries of Mr. Rand and Li Yongjun should be completely healed."
Long Yujie nodded slightly and said: "This secret method is so mysterious. It is said that Mr. Rand does not have the ability to operate his spiritual thoughts, but he can perfectly integrate with the spiritual thoughts of Fairy Yueying. What he operates is like an array but not an array.
It's like a ritual, but it can gather pure Yang thoughts in the gloomy sea water at night. It's so mysterious that the person's teaching must not be simple."
Bao Min said calmly: "Senior Rand's teachings are certainly not simple. Who can train such a disciple? It's just that he doesn't want to say it, so we don't have to ask. In Songhe Valley, Senior Qianbei
It’s been explained clearly.”
Long Yujie glanced at Bao Min and asked tentatively: "Is Elder Bao also suspicious...?"
Bao Min made a gesture of silence: "I know what I know, so why bother saying it? It's not appropriate to say it."
Long Yujie nodded, and whispered with her spiritual thoughts: "I'm afraid you and I are not the only ones who know this well now. Mr. Rand is much more popular than his master."
Bao Min said with emotion: "Back then, current affairs were in turmoil, but now people's hearts are in turmoil. He is not as relaxed as the previous generation. As far as I know, his master only devoted himself to practicing secret techniques when he was young, but in his early twenties, he has already experienced
How many troubles have been caused?”
The two masters were discussing in the distance, while the disciples on the big ship still combined their spiritual consciousness to operate the secret method. From around nine o'clock until midnight, You Fang and Xiang Yinghua coincidentally slowly withdrew their spiritual consciousness and thoughts.
Everyone felt that it was so wonderful that it was hard to describe. Some people secretly exclaimed in surprise, and some people sighed silently.
…
At noon the next day, we arrived at the sea area designated by the travel party. The weather was calm on this beautiful day, surrounded by endless blue, and nothing unusual could be seen on the surface. But there was a cabin behind the wheelhouse, and the expressions of several people
But he was very focused, always staring at various instruments to observe changes at any time.
The speed of the ship slowed down, slowly cruising back and forth in an S-shape in this area. Yan Liqiang was monitoring the sonar signal with headphones on. While adjusting the ultrasonic band on the instrument, he suddenly said: "The sonic locator shows that there are irregularities ahead.
of the seabed.”
Liu Xiyan frowned and said, "Looking at the magnetometer, there is no change."
Niu Yuepo asked puzzledly: "What does this mean?"
You Fang explained on the side: "Usually, if there are large irregular objects on the seabed and there are no magnetic abnormalities, it is likely to be natural reef seabed undulations."
You Fang is actually a layman, but he has done a lot of homework in the past few days in order to go out to sea to "fish". The sea area he went to was visited by someone in 1995, a man named Mike-
Bush's American-Irish marine scientist led an oceanographic scientific expedition. This oceanographic scholar was allowed to conduct scientific expeditions in the South China Sea in the form of technical assistance. The investigation items were ocean currents, climate and fishery resources.
In the early 1990s, the marine scientific research department was severely underfunded, so many oceanographic scientific research projects could not be carried out normally. This type of assistance was very popular. At the time, the scientific and technological methods used by Mike Bush were very advanced.
, in fact, looking back now, it is just a matter of investment size, not to mention being advanced.
At that time, there was still a sea rights dispute in this area of the sea. Mike Bush applied to the Chinese government for scientific research assistance in full compliance with Chinese laws. In a sense, it was also popular, so he successfully launched reservations in this area of the sea.
Activity.
Wu Pingtong later investigated the entire process of Mike Bush's scientific expedition, and even wrote a special internal reference and submitted it to the national cultural relics department and the fishery administration department of the Ministry of Agriculture, expressing strong doubts about this activity.
Wu Pingtong is not a marine researcher, but he is one of the best contemporary archaeologists. He found this record in the logbook written by the Dutch explorer Jim Bass in the 16th century -
In 1788, a huge cargo ship departed from Quanzhou Port in Fujian, China, and sailed to various places along the coast of Southeast Asia. The ship was 45 meters long, 8 meters wide, and had a draft of more than 800 tons. There were more than 1,000 people on board.
passengers and crew members, as well as hundreds of thousands of pieces of porcelain produced in Jingdezhen. These porcelains are extremely exquisite, including various vases, tableware, etc.
However, the Shunlong ship ran aground and sank in the waters west of the Zhongsha Islands. More than 800 people were buried at the bottom of the sea. Less than 300 people happened to be rescued by Jim Bass's Queen Pearl. The explorer learned that
After hearing this news, ten years later, they took a boat to the place where the Shunlong sank in an attempt to salvage the lost "treasure" in the sea. However, the water was too deep and the winds and waves were high, so no clues to the sunken ship were found at all.
Jim Buss left this logbook and attached it with a hand-drawn chart. The sunken location marked was the central area where Mike Bush led the marine scientific expedition team. In October 1995, Science
The expedition team actually discovered the sunken ship. Mike Bush immediately funded the diving and salvage work and fished out nearly 200,000 pieces of porcelain, many of which were still intact.
Wu Pingtong conducted a series of archaeological investigations and believed that the Shunlong was carrying far more porcelain than that, and only half of it was salvaged at that time. However, the scientific expedition report records that the items on the sunken ship have been basically cleaned up.
, there is no further value for salvage. Therefore, Wu Pingdong suspected that there was something fishy and wrote an internal reference report to remind relevant departments to pay attention to such so-called scientific research activities.
However, it is too difficult to investigate this type of event clearly. Things deep under the sea are not as clear as excavations on the ground. In addition, ocean currents have changed over time and are complex. Ancient records may also have inaccuracies, and there is a lack of direct evidence.
Under such circumstances, no one would invest so much manpower, material and financial resources in an investigation specifically for an internal reference.
The discovery of the sunken ship was an unexpected surprise. Mike Bush was also commended by relevant departments. The private investment in sponsoring the salvage was later repaid by the government, which can be regarded as a double gain of fame and fortune.
There are two reasons why You Fang recalled this past incident. First, given today's opportunity, he certainly wanted to find out what Mr. Wu had asked about more than ten years ago. On the other hand, he heard that Mike Bush is now gone.
He is a scientific expedition consultant for the ocean department, and recently he led a team to conduct scientific research in the South China Sea!
You Fang talked to Niu Yuepo, recalling that he was in Mr. Wu's study and listened to the old man recount the past while looking through documents. The conversation that night seemed to be about historical research, and for some reason it came to the topic of shipwrecks in the South China Sea.
At this time, the cruise ship turned around and chose another detection angle. A simulation screen suddenly appeared on the three-dimensional imager screen - on the seabed about 40 meters deep, there was a thing more than four meters high, about 40 meters long, and more than seven meters wide.
Huge object. Liu Xiyan quickly shouted: "Stop! Mr. Rand, look, this looks like a sunken ship!"
You Fang nodded: "That's it. It's noon now. The weather is good and the visibility is very good. It's a good time to go down and have a look. Find a place to anchor. I'll change into a diving suit."
Liu Xiyan tried to dissuade you: "Mr. Rand, your injury is not completely healed yet. Just ask Yuan Ye and Meng Sanmei to dive and bring up the video data."
You Fang shook his head and said: "My injury is not a problem. I am just diving to see the situation, not fighting with an expert. There are some traces that cannot be seen in the video. You have to go down to know it yourself. The expansion of spiritual consciousness in the water is greatly restricted.
You have to get closer and sense it carefully."
Liu Xiyan: "In that case, let me go down. I don't need to be humble about my experience in the sea."
You Fang still shook his head: "This is not deep-sea fishing, but archeology. Elder Liu still sits on the boat to monitor various situations at any time."
Liu Xiyan thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll drop the anchor and put the probe down first to measure the water temperature and seafloor currents, and then let Cang Lan go down with you."
Half an hour later, You Fang had changed into his diving suit and was standing on the bottom deck. The bottom of the sea, which is more than 40 meters deep, is impossible for most people to dive naked. With You Fang's skills, he can go down, but it is still dangerous and he has to stay.
It won’t take too long. So you still need diving equipment, and it’s not just ordinary diving goggles and oxygen bottles, it’s professional deep-diving equipment, which covers the whole body and has operating cables connected to the boat.
A total of four people went into the water. The tourist planned to go into the sunken ship to find out what was going on. In order to facilitate underwater activities, he did not tie a cable. But the other person knew it was Cang Lan at a glance. He had a soft and good figure under the close-fitting diving suit.
Niu Jinquan's eyes were a little straight, but he was embarrassed to stare. You Fang also noticed that Cang Lan had not tied a cable or hung a lead weight.
Niu Jinquan originally insisted on going into the water, and Murong Chunming also wanted to go. When several other young people saw this scene, they all wanted to join in the fun, but Yu Fang stopped him with a straight face - this is not an underwater adventure entertainment activity, and inexperienced people can't
It is useless for people without archaeological knowledge to go there, and too many people will cause chaos!
When Xiang Yinghua saw what Yu Fang said, he didn't insist on going into the water with him. He just warned: "With your ability, even if you don't need equipment, there won't be much risk under normal circumstances. But three hundred years of shipwreck, eight hundred ghosts
Wuyi, in the cold and cold place under the sea, I have been harassed by others. The most important thing is to protect the soul! This is an unusual salvage. If you sneak in quietly as a stranger, something strange may happen, so be careful."
Even Xiang Yinghua was very conscious that he did not enter the sea, and the others were even more embarrassed to cause trouble, so they watched the four people enter the water one after another. Yan Liqiang brought an underwater searchlight, and Meng Sanmei brought an underwater camera and followed the swimmer holding on to the cable.
Slowly entering the sea from behind. What surprised the tourists who arrived was that Cang Lan took the magic weapon into the sea and waved the blue water-dividing soft thorn in the water. He was able to move his consciousness within a small range and control the water spirit center.
It flowed and slowly dived downwards. No wonder Liu Xiyan was relieved to let her accompany You Fang down.
You can't see the bottom of the sea from the surface of the water, you can only see a blue patch, but if you dive to the bottom of the sea dozens of meters deep, you will find that the sunlight can see clearly through the sea surface. The temperature of the deep sea water is obviously lower than that of the sea surface.
Under normal circumstances, the heat in the body will dissipate quickly without realizing it, but the swimmer can tolerate it completely, and there will be no problem with the insulation of a deep diving suit.
The seabed in this area is mainly composed of silt and reefs. The ocean current is not very fast, and sparse marine plants grow there. Some seaweeds are four or five meters high. They sway gently in the seawater, showing various strange colors. Look.
Wherever there is seaweed growing, you will know where the reefs are and where the sand is. There are no large rocks protruding high from the seabed. It seems that the Shunlong hit a reef in the distance and struggled to float here in the wind and waves.
sunk.
It would be very troublesome if you accidentally got entangled in the aquatic plants on the seabed. Several people brought diving knives with them. They dived to the seabed and swam a short distance ahead. The swimmer finally saw clearly what was displayed on the three-dimensional imager.
That behemoth was a huge ancient wooden ship. Its remaining outline was even larger than the cruise ship they were on.
Seeing it from the bottom of the sea, there is an inexplicable sense of eerie oppression in the consciousness, and You Fang has an innumerable feeling - if Qin Yu is still around, there will definitely be a rustle at this time.
