Because time is precious, I immediately contacted Dr. Song’s husband, Lao Kong, and asked him to help me buy seven sets of diving suits and supporting tools from Sea World. Lao Kong on the other end of the phone said in a somewhat excited voice: “Seven sets! You fucking Yes! It would be okay if the warehouse was short of two or three sets! You want seven sets at once! And you are in such a hurry! You think I am doing wholesale here!"
I smiled and said: "Brother Kong, you have to think of a way! After all, money can't be taken for nothing! Don't forget that you also get a share. Helping me is equivalent to helping yourself."
On the other end of the phone, Lao Kong's tone instantly sounded like a deflated rubber ball. He said: "At 4:30 in the afternoon, we will pick up the goods at the same place."
.......
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.
A speedboat was sailing on the Xin'an River. I sat cross-legged on the stern of the boat and felt a little cold.
Except for Brother Yu and I, everyone else on the boat was a helper hired by Li Xiangling. I didn’t know any of these people, but they had one thing in common, which was good water quality.
The boat sailed for a while, and Li Xiiling patted me on the shoulder. He pointed ahead and said, "Brother, look, is it that small island?"
"It should be so. Masson pine grows here in this area." I looked at it and said.
It is said to be an island, or more accurately, it is a section of rocky mountain above the water. There are many masson pines growing on the mountain. This should be the "Tata Mountain" described by the old man. It is hard to imagine that this area was still a lively place before 1959. village.
We parked the boat on the back of the hill and tied the boat to a big rock with a rope. After putting on the equipment, I ordered: "Two of you will follow me to the stepping point. The others will stay put and watch the equipment."
Li Xiangling and another man immediately volunteered. Li Xiangling didn't say anything anymore. This man was tall and round, and he was probably a good hand in the water. Just like that, following my order, the three of us jumped in at the same time. Into the lake.
The visibility underwater at night was very low, so I had to rely on a waterproof headlight for illumination, but even so, I was still shocked by the scene after entering the water.
No need to look for it at all, you can see it at a glance.
An ancient blue brick pagoda with eight floors! Standing impressively in the water! Right behind the hill, from a distance, the entire ancient pagoda glows with a strange "green light" under the water. I think this should be due to the refraction of light.
Li Xiangling and the big man probably had never seen this scene before. Their eyes were so wide that the boss didn’t dare to step forward. I cursed silently, and then dragged the cylinder and swam around the brick tower. Soon I saw, There is a closed door at the bottom of the brick tower. It is made of wood and half of it is buried in the mud. I thought that if I open this door, I can take the stairs to the top of the tower, but I don’t know whether the stairs inside are made of wood or stone. of? If it was made of wood, it would probably be too rotten to leave. After all, this tower has been around for four to five hundred years since the Ming Dynasty.
Because the tower door has been soaked in water all year round, a layer of white hair similar to a spider web has grown on the surface. I guess it is the white hair formed by the superposition of water bugs after death.
The height and size of Fude Pagoda are similar to what the old man described to me. There is a bluestone tablet embedded in the brick wall on the upper right side of the tower door, with a bunch of names engraved on it. In the first row on the top floor, the word "Fang Gong" is engraved. .
This must be Fang Weixun.
After studying the tower body, I focused on the tower base, and found that the situation was much worse than I imagined.
It was all silt, accompanied by all kinds of waste and garbage, which completely covered the base of the tower! I calculated that if there was a hidden underground palace within this area, if I wanted to dig into it, I would have to go down at least four meters deep, which is equivalent to the height of a one-story building.
This is not the most difficult thing. The most difficult thing is that I don’t know the specific location of the entrance to the underground palace. This means that I have to dig up the 20-meter radius of the ancient pagoda.
Let’s take a step back and say that there is an underground palace under the base of the tower. That’s what I guessed based on experience! What if you don’t find it in the end?
Before I came here, I was full of confidence and wanted to make a fortune by doing big business. However, reality poured cold water on me. The difficulty and the amount of work were too great... No wonder the silver ingots have been gone for so many years. was found.
After going up, I sat on a rock and stared at the lake in a daze. Li Xiangling handed me a cigarette and a lighter.
It was windy at night, and his voice was a little louder.
