We set off early the next morning. Although the sky was a bit gloomy, there were no winds and waves. The guide, Uncle Luo, said there would be no strong winds, so there would be no problem. However, the sea area where we were going was already very windy and it was not advisable to stay for a long time in case of strong winds.

Such a yacht cannot withstand heavy waves.

Not far out to sea, we encountered a border patrol ship, which used a loudspeaker to shout for us to stop. I frowned secretly, trouble was coming. This place is very close to Taiwan, so we were afraid that we would not be able to run around, and we were not allowed to stay at the location of the sunken ship.

Yes, this is a sensitive area.

Lu Qingwen walked to the cockpit and said to the pilot: "Master, come over, I will negotiate with them."

The driver looked at me and I nodded, so the yacht slowed down and approached the patrol boat. Everyone was waiting nervously. Lu Qingwen, however, took her time and waited for the boat to stabilize. She climbed onto the other side's boat and took out her small leather bag.

He took out a blue-covered ID and a document and handed them to the leader of the other party. When the officer saw it, he immediately saluted Lu Qingwen, nodded and bowed, and changed his attitude 180 degrees.

Judging from the few words they talked about, I guessed that this document was actually signed by a senior leader of the Central Military. I was a little surprised. Although I had already suspected that Lu Qingwen's parents were from the military or worked for the military, I did not expect that

She was able to obtain such a high-level document. It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Chengshan is the "Queen Taoist".

The officers and soldiers were very enthusiastic and asked if I wanted them to escort me. I refused because it was inconvenient for outsiders to get involved. Lu Qingwen politely asked them for a diving suit and a satellite navigation and positioning instrument. It seemed that she had already prepared for it.

Get professional tools from these people, and these people will deliver them to your door.

Xiaoxue was originally a little dissatisfied with Lu Qingwen's joining, but now she has no objection. She is a universal pass. Without her, we would have given up halfway this time.

Qian'ao Town is only ** kilometers away from Niushan Island. We will arrive in a short time. This is a very small island, less than a thousand meters long and not very high, but there is a very tall lighthouse on the island. Tingluo

The uncle said that this lighthouse can be seen from forty to fifty kilometers away at night, and it is a direction sign for ships and fishing boats passing through the Taiwan Strait to return home.

I knew the distance and orientation between the sunken ship and Niushan Island. I originally planned to use Niushan Island as the base point and use a compass to measure the direction and roughly estimate the distance. It would take a lot of time to search. Now that I have the positioning instrument borrowed by Lu Qingwen, I will not

If it's too much trouble, go straight to

It took more than half an hour to reach the shipwreck site. It is between the mainland and Taiwan, which is equivalent to the mouth of the canyon, so the wind and waves are relatively strong, but the sea water is not too deep and the water quality is pure. According to the files I have read, the shipwreck is in the water.

About fifty meters down.

Zheng Wanfeng, Luo Xusheng, the driver and others did not know my purpose, but they guessed it when I stopped at this location. In the past, many fishing boats were towed near this area and were hooked or snagged and could not be recovered, so

Experienced fishermen deliberately avoid this place. In addition, there was a large-scale salvage operation 20 years ago, and a large number of troops and boats were deployed. Everyone in Pingtan's older generation knows this.

Although they had guessed it, they saw that Lu Qingwen had a big background and I was mysterious. They were very knowledgeable and didn't ask any more questions, but they didn't avoid it, waiting to see what was going on.

In front of so many people, it was inconvenient for me to take out the rhinoceros horn, so I had to take off my clothes piece by piece, wearing only a pair of shorts and climb over the guardrail on the deck to jump down.

Lu Qingwen was shocked: "You're going to jump down like that?"

I turned around and asked her: "Isn't it okay?"

"Of course not! I know that you have advanced cultivation and are not afraid of the cold, but can you dive directly to such a deep depth? It is difficult even if you wear a professional diving suit. You must proceed carefully. The huge water pressure generated by rising and falling too quickly can kill people.

of!"

I spread my hands and said, "But I don't have diving equipment, so I can only jump directly. If I can't dive anymore, I'll come up."

Lu Qingwen was so angry that she jumped up and down: "You don't even have a diving suit, and you come here like this. Do you think you are going into the river to touch snails?"

"Even if I have a diving suit, I don't know how to use it, so I just jumped." After saying that, I jumped out lightly and jumped straight down.

Before I even touched the water, I secretly performed a trick to avoid water. My spiritual energy circulated throughout my body. I entered the water with almost no sound and no splash. Lu Qingwen's exclamation and Uncle Luo's voice could be faintly heard from above.

: "What kind of jumping method is this..."

I have a special fear of deep water, so I never go deep into the water. I rarely use the Water Avoidance Technique after learning it. I tried it before on the third level of the Yin Yang Jue, but it couldn't completely separate the water. It just reduced the resistance in the water. At this time

I found that my body was not exposed to water and was very flexible in the water, with almost no resistance felt.

The Water Avoidance Technique is not just a magic trick, it also requires the coordination of the spiritual energy in the body. This principle is somewhat similar to the Five Elements Water Escape, which is to convert the spiritual energy in the body into the water attribute. I am very close to the characteristics of water, so the resistance in the water will naturally change.

It is small and can move freely. With the special effects of the magic formula and the body protection of spiritual energy, water will not get on the body.

I exerted a slight downward force, and my body sank faster. When I stepped forward, I moved forward without any effort. Everything went smoothly up, down, left, and right. It was more free than on land, where you can't rise at will!

It seems that my cultivation level is high now, and I can come and go freely in the water without the water-proof rhinoceros horn. However, there is still a small problem. When using the water-avoiding technique, you must maintain the magic formula and the aura properties in the body, and maintain it according to a certain intention.

It is inconvenient to fight and do complicated things.

As soon as I thought about it, Xiaoxue put the water-proof rhinoceros horn into my hand. I injected some spiritual energy, and the water-proof rhinoceros horn emitted special energy, forcing the sea water away. It was like I was hiding in a huge bubble. Using the water-proof rhinoceros horn, I felt like I was hiding in a huge bubble.

The water rhinoceros horn is also very convenient for moving in the water, but it is not as flexible as the water avoidance technique. However, it consumes less spiritual energy. I only need to simply inject spiritual energy, and I can concentrate on doing other things. Both methods have their own advantages.

With the double insurance, I feel much more at ease, but Xiaoxue is not used to it and is very nervous. Her range of perception has been greatly reduced, even worse than mine.

I took the water-proof rhinoceros horn without injecting any more spiritual energy and used the water-avoiding technique to dive down. The water was clear and the visibility was very good. Colorful and strange fish were swimming back and forth in the water, which was so beautiful. It was like the constriction of a funnel. To the northeast is my country's East China Sea, to the east is the Pacific Ocean, and more than two thousand kilometers straight ahead is the Mariana Trench, the deepest in the world, so it is rich in fishery resources and is a famous fishing ground.

As the depth of the dive increased, the light gradually dimmed and the seawater turned blue-green. I did not feel the influence of the water pressure at all, and the descent speed was very fast. After a while, I was close to the bottom of the sea. Although the light here is dim, ordinary people can also

I can see things within a few meters, but I can see things a hundred meters away.

Turning around, I saw a huge black shadow on the left rear. It didn't look like a ship, but there shouldn't be such a big rock here. It should be the wreckage of Awa Maru I was looking for. I walked forward on the water.

As we got closer, we could see that it was indeed the wreckage of a ship, with many broken fish and seaweed hanging from it.

The hull is huge, but it has been riddled with holes. In many places, only the supports are left. In addition to broken fish and seaweed, there is also a lot of silt. Many shellfish have made their homes on it, forming a thick layer that is almost

There is no steel material. In this dark seabed, such a shabby big thing looks scarier than the most eerie haunted house. It’s not that I am timid, but I have never been to such an environment and atmosphere, so I can’t help but feel uneasy.

.

The ship was broken nearly one-third of the way to the bow. The small part of the bow had been broken apart and lifted away twenty years ago, and the large part of the stern where the mud was exposed was also almost completely dismantled.

Now, after twenty years of sand accumulation, the originally dug areas have been buried again. Now it is impossible for me to get into the depths of the cabin. The places that can be seen have been carefully searched.

No need to search.

My only advantage is that I have a sense of perception that ordinary people don't have. Jade talismans have very strong spiritual power. If there is a jade talisman here and it is not tightly wrapped in an iron box, I may be able to sense it as long as I get within ten meters.

.If there are a lot of treasures under the cabin, they should also emit spiritual energy.

I floated a little higher, and before I even got into the boat, I was startled by a large number of aquatic creatures of various shapes. Giant strange crabs covered in thorns ran rampantly, and groups of small fish swam away quickly like frightened birds.

A sea snake the size of a sea bowl even came straight towards me. I was startled and hurriedly moved sideways to get out of the way. I used my palm as a knife and concentrated my spiritual energy on it to slash at it, which scared it away.

God knows what kind of monsters might be lurking here. I might get dizzy after being eaten by a sea monster. I gave up using the water-avoiding technique and instead used the water-repelling rhinoceros horn to divert water. I took the magic knife "Torikiri" in my right hand.

I first walked around the large wreckage and found nothing of value, so I had no choice but to venture into the wreckage to search. Not only was the aquatic life living in it jumping around, it was scary, but the vibration of the seawater stirred up sediment and fish.

It will become very turbid and affect my vision. This job is more difficult than I originally expected. I am not affected by the water pressure and can move easily. It is so difficult to search. If it were an ordinary person wearing a diving suit, it would be even more difficult.

.

After searching for more than an hour, I found nothing. It was just a pile of rotten metal. I wanted to give up, but when I passed a cabin, Xiaoxue suddenly said: "Do you see how those five holes were made?"

What this cabin originally looked like can no longer be seen. Only the outer iron shell bulkhead is still there, with five holes of different sizes on it. Each hole was punched out from the outside inward, and it is thick.

The iron plate is rolled inward, and the outside of the break is slightly larger than the inside, and the angle of each hole is also slightly different. These five holes are all very large and relatively far apart. If you don't observe them carefully, you won't be connected.

"This should have been scratched with a huge steel claw. The people who salvaged it in the past used many large machines..." I explained to Xiaoxue, but I denied it in the middle of the sentence. The steel claws salvaged would not be so sharp.
