John knew that he had become a prisoner, and he was not qualified to negotiate terms, so he could only do what the other party said.

"Well, but I need a deputy. I can't drive such a big ship by myself."

Aning immediately said that she had learned how to sail a boat and could act as a deputy.

So everyone carried the unconscious Hawke back to the cockpit.

Ji Changsheng contacted the people on the destroyer by radio.

"Now continue to move towards the destination, Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhang, Ah Yue, come over here."

So the two big ships started together, walked side by side, and continued to move towards the coral forest.

Not long after, Chen Yulou, Zhang Yingchuan, and Lin Shuangyue came to Neptune in a small boat.

Chapter 794: King Qin's Bone Mirror

When Ji Changsheng saw Zhang Yingchuan, his face was not as kind as before, and he asked straight to the point.

"Mr. Zhang, do you have something to hide from me?"

Although Zhang Yingchuan hadn't entered the cabin yet, he understood everything immediately after seeing Colonel Hawke.

"Mr. Ji, I'm sorry, this is a confidential mission, I can't disclose it casually, please forgive me."

Ji Changsheng frowned slightly and said displeasedly.

"We have something to say first. Since we are partners, we must be honest with each other."

"I've already discovered it all, and you still want to keep it a secret?"

According to Captain John's description, after the special forces entered the cargo hold, they did not search for survivors, but tied the bronze coffin with ropes. It was obvious that their purpose was to go to the bronze coffin, not to expel foreign ships!

Zhang Yingchuan sighed helplessly, and could only say in a low voice.

"Come out with me, please."

Since it is a confidential mission, it is natural not to say it in public.

The two walked out of the cockpit and came to the bow deck.

"Now tell me, what's going on?"

Zhang Yingchuan nodded, and then began to speak eloquently.

It turned out that as early as three months ago, when the Neptune set off from the port of the United States, the Huaxia intelligence department already knew the purpose of the ship and notified Zhang Yingchuan's department.

Zhang Yingchuan sent his men to monitor the Neptune on the sea, and their every move was under surveillance.

When the Neptune began to salvage the sunken ship, Zhang Yingchuan reported the situation to his superiors, and the instructions given by his superiors were "wait and see what happens, and wait for opportunities."

As soon as Ji Changsheng heard it, he understood that salvaging the sunken ship was a huge project, and the issue of the ownership of the cargo on the Marisianu had always been controversial.

If Huaxia officials directly send people to salvage it, it will cause some unnecessary disputes.

It's better to use the hand of the Neptune to salvage the contents of the sunken ship, and send someone to intercept them when they are about to escape, so that they can get the contents of the sunken ship without any effort.

And from a legal point of view, the coral forest is China's territorial waters, and the illegal salvage of the Neptune is an act of theft. No matter who the goods on board belong to, as long as you dare to steal them, I have a reason to confiscate them!

This is killing two birds with one stone!

Only then did Ji Changsheng stretch his brows and nodded.

"It's really clever to close the door and beat the dog."

But there was another problem that he didn't understand.

"What is the origin of that bronze coffin?"

After Zhang Yingchuan thought about it, he replied.

"Have you ever heard of King Qin's Bone Mirror?"

Ji Changsheng thought for a moment, then nodded.

"I heard that it is one of the eight great ancient mirrors in the world."

"Is this bronze coffin the one made by Qin Shihuang?"

Zhang Yingchuan nodded with a smile.

"Exactly!"

According to unofficial historical records, during Qin Shihuang's east tour, someone salvaged a corpse by the sea. The corpse was dressed in ancient clothes, and it should be an ancient person before the Yin and Shang Dynasties. However, this ancient corpse has been soaked in the sea for more than 1000 years, but there is no sign of decay. It is well preserved. intact.

The warlocks around the first emperor said that the birth of zombies in ancient times was an ominous omen, fearing a catastrophe in the world!

So the first emperor sent people to build a bronze coffin to suppress the ancient corpses, and an expert refined a bronze mirror as a magic weapon to suppress the corpses.

It is said that if you use this bronze mirror to look at people, you can see the internal organs, meridians and bones, which is more amazing than modern X-ray perspective instruments!

This ancient mirror was placed on the lid of the bronze coffin. With this treasure suppressing it, even a corpse fairy with high mana would not be able to stand up!

To be on the safe side, Qin Shihuang sent someone to dig through a mountain, buried the bronze coffin deep in the mountain's belly, and cast a bronze giant beast to suppress it, so he was relieved.

It's a pity that this operation did not prevent the catastrophe from coming. Just over 30 years later, the overlord of Western Chu invaded Xianyang, and Qin II died.

After hearing this, Ji Changsheng couldn't help asking.

"In this case, why did this bronze coffin appear on the Marisianu?"

Zhang Yingchuan replied immediately.

It turned out that in the Northern Song Dynasty, a big earthquake shook a mountain, and someone found a bronze giant beast in the crack and reported it to the court.

Song Weizong thought it was an auspicious object from heaven, so he sent a large army to dig it out, and dug out the bronze coffin.

An expert in the court saw it, and immediately recognized that it was a magic weapon used by Qin Shihuang to suppress the ancient zombies.

Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty was a man who loved strange things, he was headstrong by nature, and refused to listen to dissuasion. He left the bronze coffin in a Taoist temple, saying that there would be Taoist real people guarding it, and nothing would happen.

As a result, within a few years, the Jin people went south, and Song Huizong and his son Song Qinzong were captured together. The father and son died in the Northern Kingdom, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished.

This bronze coffin disappeared in the flames of war. Some people say that Taoist masters buried it deep in the mountains to preserve the country of the Southern Song Dynasty for more than 100 years.

Later, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, a group of tomb thieves dug up a bronze coffin in the deep mountains. At that time, after the Opium War, the Qing government signed a series of unequal treaties with foreign countries that humiliated the country and the land of China was wantonly ravaged by Western robbers.

The group of tomb robbers sold the bronze coffin to foreigners. The Royal Navy of Great Britain thought it had obtained a treasure, so it sent a sailing warship to escort it back to the country, and prepared to give it to the Royal Museum.

As a result, when the battleship passed through the coral forest, it encountered a sudden big storm. The ship was overturned by the storm and sank to the bottom of the sea.

After Ji Changsheng listened, he understood the whole story.

"It turns out that this is the case, then there is only one problem left."

The ancient zombie should be in the bronze coffin, why did it become a ghost?

To know the answer, you have to ask Colonel Hawke himself.

Seeing Ji Changsheng turning around and walking towards the cockpit, Zhang Yingchuan hurried forward and said.

"What I just said is confidential, please keep quiet, Mr. Ji."

Ji Changsheng nodded, indicating that he was not interested in these things and would not be a gossip.

After the two returned to the cockpit, Colonel Hawke had woken up from a coma, but his cheeks were swollen and turned into a pig's head.

Colonel Hawk said vaguely.

"You inferior people, dare to offend the nobles of Great Britain, I will definitely not let you go!"

Ji Changsheng couldn't help laughing.

"Colonel Pig, I advise you to recognize the reality."

"Whether you live or die depends entirely on my mood. It's best not to make me angry."

Colonel Hawk shut his mouth in fright when he heard the words, his eyes were still aggrieved.

Ji Changsheng stretched out three fingers and said.

"I have three questions for you. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, I'll screw your head off and kick it as a ball."

"Anders single?"

No matter how stupid Colonel Hawke was, he knew that his life was in the opponent's hands, so he didn't dare to continue to be presumptuous, so he nodded helplessly.

"clear."

Chapter 795 Hawke's past

As the saying goes, situations are stronger than people. As a British nobleman and captain of the Royal Navy, Colonel Hawke has been arrogant and domineering all his life.

But today he fell into the hands of a powerful enemy, and he had to bow his head. Only by obediently cooperating can he save his life.

Ji Changsheng pulled up a chair, sat opposite Hawke, and said calmly.

"I'm in a hurry now, and I don't want to listen to unnecessary nonsense."

"You can answer a question for no more than 5 minutes. If you exceed it, you will throw it into the sea to feed the sharks."

Colonel Hawke nodded heavily with a livid face.

"go ahead."

Ji Changsheng looked at the time before speaking.

"How did you become a living dead? The timer starts."

After Colonel Hawk quickly organized the language in his mind, he began to answer with the fastest speaking speed.

More than 100 years ago, he received an order from his superiors to escort a batch of treasures back home. Ji Changsheng and the others had already seen the cargo on board.

After the warship went to sea, Colonel Hawk became interested in the huge bronze coffin.

There happened to be a diplomat who was proficient in Chinese culture on board. After consulting the diplomat, Hawke learned that there was an ancient corpse of more than 3000 years in the coffin, which was a legendary zombie, which made him even more curious.

Colonel Hawke has a wide range of interests. He is half a naturalist, and he is interested in mysterious things.

It's a pity that he doesn't know anything about Chinese culture, and after several days of fiddling with Western methods, he couldn't open the bronze coffin at all.

Until the night of the seventh day, Colonel Hawk could not sleep in the middle of the night, so he went to the cargo hold to study the bronze coffin alone.

Unexpectedly, when he came to the cargo hold, the lid of the coffin opened automatically!
