treasure hunt god pupil

Chapter 509
The virgin forest has higher altitudes as you go in, and from time to time you can see puddles that are not too large in size, and the rainwater in the sky is accumulated in them, which just provides fresh water for the animals in the forest.

Continuing to go deeper inside, I saw some strange fruit trees. Most of the fruits on them were as big as an adult's fist, green and red, and fruitful.Among the fruit trees, many birds were pecking at the fruits, and some small animals that had never been seen climbed on the trees to pick up the red fruits and eat them.

It's just that when dozens of monkeys jumped over from other trees, those birds and small animals fled in fright. It is estimated that these cute little monkeys may be the overlords in this forest.

Li Mo looked up at those fruits, but after thinking about it, he still didn't try it.He walked through the dense forest and looked out. Through the cracks in the trees, he could see the vast ocean around him, and there was no shadow like a merchant ship as far as he could see.It can also be judged from this that he is climbing towards a higher altitude.

After walking through the dense forest for about half an hour, Li Mo finally saw a large lake, which was an irregular circle with a diameter of at least 30 meters by visual inspection.The water here is very clear without any pollution.

Li Mo knelt down and held the water in both hands, it was very cool.

With water, there is capital to survive.

Li Mo jumped up happily, and then walked along the lake in one direction, wielding the machete in his hand to sweep away those shrubs and vines.There is a large flat land around this lake, and on one side of the flat land is a mountain wall about ten meters high, and countless thick vines grow along the mountain wall.

When Li Mo walked under the mountain wall, Yitong glanced at it as usual, and then he saw that there were many large and small caves behind those vines, and most of the cave entrances were more than three meters above the ground. Location.

The power of the different pupils extended into the cave again, and then I saw blue halos projecting from some objects. The cave here once lived in humans.

Li Mo looked at the other caves one by one, and the residues inside had a blue halo reaction, but he hadn't seen a single intact ancient object from 600 years ago.

Even so, Li Mo was still very excited, and he began to tidy up those vines with a machete.Firstly, the quality of the thick-backed machete is very good, and secondly, Li Mo's strength is extremely powerful, so those arm-thin vines can't resist the blade at all.

He chose a cave with a slightly larger space, and after cleaning up most of the surrounding vines, he discovered that there was a ladder extending all the way to the entrance of the cave.Unfortunately, after 600 years of exposure to wind and sun, those ladders have already decayed, and their skeletons will fall apart with a light pinch.

Li Mo was not in a hurry, he went to the other side and cut seven or eight trees, then trimmed them briefly, and then bound them with those vines. It took more than an hour to finally complete a climbing ladder of about three meters.He stabilized the ladder, slowly climbed up, and finally stepped into the first cave where people once lived.

This cave is somewhat humid, probably because it has been covered by vines all year round, but now the mild sunlight shines in directly, making the cave extremely bright, and the humidity gradually dissipates.The cave is about four meters deep, and there is still a bed made of trees inside, but it is no longer usable at this time.On the ground, there was a set of armor weapons and a decayed and broken wooden frame.

Li Mo squatted down and took a closer look. It was a helmet, leather armor and a knife.There was nothing to see about the armor, but the knife caught his eye.

The scabbard is made of wood, and it is fixed with several pieces of iron sheets. After hundreds of years, the scabbard has decayed and is useless.There should be a layer of non-slip technology wrapped around the surface of the knife handle, but it was rusty anyway, so he gently pulled out the knife.

The blade has less rust, but the blade has several obvious chips.The blade of this knife is relatively straight, the tip of the knife is slightly upturned, and there is an edge 15 to 20 cm from the tip of the knife to the back of the knife, which is generally called the back edge.

"Yan Ling Saber!"

The reason why Li Mo is familiar with this type of knife is because it is the standard weapon of the Ming Dynasty army, whether it is an official or a soldier, it will be worn.It is equivalent to moving the blade of the flat-headed knife back to draw out the sharp tip, and the tip of the knife rises slightly, and the whole knife is shaped like a wild goose feather.

As a famous saber in ancient times, the formation of Yanling Dao is inseparable from the history of China. From Huanshou Dao to Tang Dao and then to Yanling Dao, it gradually evolved and deformed. The shape of Yanling Dao can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty at the earliest.

It started in Tang Dynasty and prevailed in Ming Dynasty.It is often said in Pingshu drama that "the general is born with courage and courage, and his waist is full of Qiushuiyan Lingdao, which comes from this."

The Yanling sword has also undergone a long period of evolution. Some Yanling swords in the early Ming Dynasty had no reverse blade, and their form was closer to the style of the golden war sword. The Yanling sword with a reverse blade was finalized in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and in the Qing Dynasty In ancient times, the back edge of some Yanling waist sabers even ran through the entire back of the saber.

Now Li Mo can be 100% sure that the first knife he picked up was the Xiuchun knife of the Jinyiwei during the Ming Dynasty in China, and the knife in front of him is the Yanling knife, the standard military weapon of the Ming Dynasty. People from the North Korean army were stranded on this isolated island.

Putting this set of armor and weapons aside, Li Mo is going to go to other caves to see if there are any new gains.Before he left, he looked around in the cave, but he didn't expect that there seemed to be handwriting on the cave wall.When I first came in, a kind of vine was growing on the wall of the cave, but I didn't notice it.

Li Mo hurriedly cleaned up the vines with a machete, revealing the engraved handwriting.Li Mo stretched out his hand to feel it. It was written in block letters, as if it was talking about an event.

"When the officials in the meeting were envoys to sail the seas to the western regions to select strong men in the south of the Yangtze River, the soldiers in the army avoided in every direction, and the king did not avoid them, so they followed under his command. The most trusted relatives were reluctant to part with him. He traveled three times in a few years, traveled thousands of miles, and came and went without any harm. Four. On the way home, the ship was caught in a tsunami storm, and the ship drifted away, and it was put on the beach of an isolated island. The ship was destroyed and 58 people lived, and they wanted to survive, but they encountered pirates, so they killed them. After more than ten years, I finally left.”

At the end there is still the word 'Zhao Zhong'.

This can be regarded as the legacy of the Ming people.

The composition of the ancients is a little bad, not enough vernacular, it is not only awkward to read, but you have to study it carefully to understand the meaning.

After studying for a long time, Li Mo finally made a big difference.In the Ming Dynasty, "zhongguan" refers to eunuchs with official positions. In the beginning, a middle-level eunuch was ordered by the emperor to go to sea and needed to recruit a group of people. No one dared to go. Only this man named Zhao Zhong was willing to follow. He became the right-hand man of Zhongguan eunuch.The first three trips to the sea all returned smoothly. On the way back to the fourth trip to the sea, a tsunami storm encountered, causing the ship to deviate from the direction and finally ran aground on this isolated island.

The ship was destroyed, and there were still 150 or eight people who survived by chance. They wanted to live here, but they didn't expect that there were pirates hidden on this isolated island. In the end, the two sides fought and wiped out the pirates. After more than ten years, others People die one by one, leaving only him as the last person, life is hopeless, and he finally ends his life by himself.

If the entire text is translated, the middle-ranking eunuch naturally refers to Zheng He. Zhao Zhong followed Lord Zheng to the West four times, and on the way back the last time, he fell into trouble on this isolated island. After living for more than ten years, he still died.

At that time, Zhu Di, Emperor Yongle, in order to convince the world that his throne was just, so he opened the sea ban and sent people to the west. Firstly, it was to fight against pirates and promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. Second, it was mainly to conduct maritime trade with coastal countries and increase finances. income.During the seven voyages to the West, no one knows how many people died.
