Chapter 4411 Chapter 4413 [Hidden Treasure]
Xiang Nan took care of the former deputy sheriff, wiped out the big pirate Red-Eye Sharok, and returned the seized goods to the merchant ship...
For a time, his name began to spread in the Caribbean. The citizens, merchant ships, and pirates all knew that there was a great peace officer coming to Port Royal.
Merchant ships came to Port Royal one after another to do business, and the pirate ships that used to patrol near Port Royal immediately fled without a trace, for fear of accidentally hitting Xiang Nan's gun.
Therefore, in the short term, there is no need to worry about the security of Port Royal.
Xiang Nan then secretly started his own business, which was to find treasures. For this reason, he began to decipher the secrets of "Mao Kun Tu".
According to the description in "Pirates of the Caribbean Settings", "Mao Kun Tu" is the work of four unknown adventurers. It is based on the "Zheng He Navigation Chart" in the early Ming Dynasty, and also adds information from other navigation charts. The final creation was created.
It records information about almost all sea areas, routes, treasures and lost cities in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
But to interpret it, one must be proficient in the languages of various countries, the divination techniques of yin and yang, five elements, six lines, and eight trigrams, as well as rich navigation knowledge.
Therefore, even Xiao Feng, Barbossa, and Jack Sparrow could not completely unlock the secret of this navigation chart because they all lacked certain knowledge.
However, this navigation chart has no secrets in front of Xiang Nan.
Not only did he inherit the secret agent skills of Jason Bourne, James Bond and others, but he also had no problem speaking in various languages. Moreover, he also inherited Partridge Shao's tomb robbing skills, as well as Huang Yaoshi, Xiaoyao Sect, and Wuhen Gongzi's Qimen Dunjia.
Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Six Yao, and the Bagua, which seemed like a mess to outsiders, were as simple to him as reading a text on the palm of his hand, so Xiang Nan quickly cracked the "Mao Kun Tu" in a comprehensive manner.
The information contained in "Mao Kun Tu" really opened Xiang Nan's eyes.
…
In this nautical chart, there are not only routes to all parts of the world, but also routes to other worlds. For example, it leads to Davy Jones's prison, to the other side of the dead, and so on.
In the Age of Discovery, the profits from an unexplored hidden route were very considerable. Because this trade route is completely monopolized by oneself, and monopoly will inevitably lead to huge profits.
For these routes alone, "Mao Kun Tu" is already priceless.
What's more, it also contains information about a large number of treasures, such as the treasure of Alexander the Great, the treasure of the Knights Templar, the treasure of King Arthur, the treasure of the Inca Golden City, the treasure of Solomon, the treasure of the Mayan Kingdom, and so on.
In addition, there are some lost underwater cities, such as Troy, Amazon Island, Atlantis, etc.
These places were once prominent, possessing extremely high status, power and wealth, but then they disappeared in the long river of history and are nowhere to be found, and "Mao Kun Tu" can just guide Xiang Nan to find these secret places.
You know, there is a real **** in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean". It's not the "God of Death" who only exists in legend in the world of "Harry Potter"; nor is it the ancient **** whose dragons are invisible in the world of "Devil Blowing Out the Lamp".
Therefore, in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean", although the protagonists are all average in strength and not much beyond ordinary people, the height of this world is far higher than that of "Harry Potter", Jin Yong Martial Arts, Gu Long Martial Arts, Wen Ruian Martial Arts, and Huang Above Yi Wuxia (drama version).
And those hidden treasures and lost cities are often related to "gods".
Such as the treasures of Alexander the Great. Legend has it that he was the son of Zeus and was born with lightning and thunder. And his mother is a witch with extraordinary abilities.
Therefore, after Alexander the Great inherited the throne at the age of twenty, he swept away all powerful enemies and established a huge empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa.
And after his death, his empire collapsed. It is said that he hid all the plundered wealth in a secret place. For more than a thousand years, people have been searching for it, but they can't find it. The "Mao Kun Tu" records the information about his treasure.
Another example is the ancient city of Atlantis, which was first recorded in the Greek philosopher Plato's work "Dialogues". Legend has it that the ancient city of Atlantis was founded by Poseidon, the **** of the sea. It not only possessed huge wealth, but also had a developed civilization.
According to the "Dialogues", in the city of Atlantis stood a temple dedicated to Poseidon, his wife, and his children. The temples were decorated with gold, silver, ivory, etc.
And the whole city's energy supply comes from a kind of "magnetic stone". Legend has it that this gem can convert sunlight into energy, which is very strange.
In addition, the weapons created by the Atlanteans were also very powerful. The Triton sword used by Blackbeard Edward Teach to control the ship in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" came from the lost city-state of Atlantis.
But in the end, the Atlanteans were disgusted by Zeus because of their excessive luxury and depravity, so they imposed divine punishment. Eventually the entire city-state was flooded, earthquakes occurred, and it sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared without a trace.
Throughout history, countless people have tried to find the whereabouts of Atlantis, but to no avail. The location of Atlantis is recorded in "Mao Kun Tu".
…
Xiang Nan was very excited after cracking "Mao Kun Tu". He didn't expect that there would be so many hidden treasures, which really made him salivate. He wanted to go there immediately and take out all these treasures.
But Xiang Nan knows that there are true gods in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
For example, Quetzalcoatl who cursed the Aztec gold coins, such as Poseidon Colybuso, who was sealed by the nine pirate kings, and Poseidon, the Poseidon who left the trident... In the official novel "Pirates of the Caribbean: Prequel: The Price of Freedom" 》, the lion **** also appeared in Africa.
The abilities of these gods are often very strange. They may not appear to attack directly, but their curses are very evil.
Quetzalcoatl, a **** worshiped by the Incas, did not show up to fight with Spanish colonist Hernán Cortes when their country was conquered by the Spanish colonizer, but he placed a curse on gold coins, cursing him of immortality.
In the official novel "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Voice of the Siren", Quetzalcoatl also cursed an unlucky man, Torrance, so that he would always be surrounded by storms wherever he went;
Corybusso cursed Davy Jones to turn into seafood and lose his human appearance; the Lion God can also curse those who take away his treasures to die violently.
Therefore, Xiang Nan was not afraid of anything else. He was afraid that he would be cursed by the gods without knowing it, which would be a big trouble. So he planned to put some security measures on himself first.
