C1894 Diary from Six Hundred Years Ago(1)

After an unknown period of time, Lin Bai finally woke up from his coma.

The moment he woke up, Lin Bai did not hesitate. He gripped the flying sword and the brush tightly and looked around with incomparable vigilance. However, wherever his gaze passed, it was still shrouded in black mist. The surface of the sea was calm and devoid of any ripples of life. This discovery made Lin Bai heave a sigh of relief.

After going through the pressure of the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, the five elemental energies in his body had been completely expelled from his body. The five elemental energies in his body had been nourished by the mana from the five elemental energies, and his body had regained a strong life force. Those wounds had already healed to about seventy to eighty percent of its original strength.

"The feeling of having power is great!" As Lin Bai felt the pure Fa Li flowing through his four limbs and meridians, he felt that he had regained his strong belief. He clenched his fists and laughed out loud. His eyes slowly gathered onto that deep cabin!

The ruins from hundreds of years ago were right in front of their eyes, not to mention that this fleet also had the sacred mission assigned to them by the Six Ancestors! If it were any ordinary person in this place, they would not be able to suppress the curiosity in their heart, let alone Lin Bai. Moreover, his Fa Li had already recovered, and he was brimming with confidence. With the treasure mountain in front of him, how could he not explore it?

Furthermore, Lin Bai was clear that if he wanted to escape from this strange space, he had to find out what was so strange about this place. It was the best choice to start from the treasured vessel that was just inches away from him.

After muttering to himself irresolutely for a moment, Lin Bai no longer had any hesitation. He gripped the flying sword and the brush in his hand and slowly walked towards the pitch black cabin. The sky above the sea was completely silent. Even the entire treasured vessel was deathly silent. In this deathly silent space, even the sound of a needle dropping could be clearly heard. As soon as Lin Bai took a step forward, the space around him was filled with the rustling sounds of his footsteps.

He slowly walked to the cabin and lightly pushed on the cabin door. With a creaking sound, the cabin door opened with the motion of Lin Bai's hand! And just as the door was cut open, a slightly foul air assaulted Lin Bai.

Without any hesitation, Lin Baiden dodged to the side. It has to be said that in these ancient ruins, as long as they are sealed for a long time, there will be a large amount of foul energy remaining. Moreover, this foul energy is very toxic, so once touched, one's life will be in danger. Back then, the explorers who discovered the pyramid and died in it were not prepared for that. That was why after the excavation was done, they died one after another, causing the world to be cursed.

However, the reality before him proved that Lin Bai was overthinking things. Although this cabin was also sealed, it was completely different from the kind used by the pyramids. After the door was opened, a cloud of dust fell and the interior returned to normal without any other auras. One must know that the cabin door was not locked, but it could also be considered sealed. This meant that there must have been someone inside the cabin back then, but now, the interior of the cabin was filled with the foul aura of human decay.

Although he had some doubts, Lin Bai still slowly walked into the cabin. After entering, with the aid of the biting cold of the sword ray, Lin Bai was even more shocked to discover that even though he had experienced the onslaught of history, the interior of the cabin was still intact, like a ship's hull. The arrangement of the cabin room was extremely simple. There was only a simple bed and a small closet. However, the closet seemed to have something inside that was tightly closed.

After going through all the facilities on the Queen, Lin Bai did not dare to imagine that the ancestors of China relied on such simple and crude conditions to sail the ocean. Such simple facilities, the endless ocean, on such a journey, the seafarers of these treasured ships, how desolate their lives at sea must be.

However, they were able to endure the unendurable desolation. Not only that, they had even made it to the other side of the ocean! This was a tenacious spirit, and it was also a precious quality of the Chinese nation!

After lamenting in his heart, Lin Bai slowly searched the cabin, trying to find something that could explain the doubts in his heart. According to Lin Bai's conjecture, the treasured vessel he was on could already be considered large among all the treasured ships. And in that strictly hierarchical society, the person who could ride this treasured vessel was most likely a grand character among the treasured vessel's seafarers.

Such a person would often be able to understand some of the literary knowledge. Perhaps, he might even be able to find something similar to a logbook. After searching around the room and finding that the cabin was empty, Lin Bai lifted his hand and released a strand of Innate True Divine Light before opening the door to the closet.

As the door to the closet opened, a cloud of dust immediately scattered into the air. The contents within then slowly appeared in front of Lin Bai's eyes. Inside the closet, aside from a few items of clothing and a small bottle that was obviously used to store medicine, there was nothing else.

Could it be that he guessed wrongly, the person who lived in this cabin was not some big shot, but a little pawn? Reaching out his hand, Lin Bai searched the clothes and the small bottle for a moment. He could not help but frown. After searching for a while, he actually did not find anything.

No, that's not right. This treasured vessel was rather large, and this cabin was quite spacious. Furthermore, it was extremely close to the cabin door. This was definitely where the great characters of the treasured vessel resided. It was probably because he had yet to find out where else.

After his gaze slowly swept across the room, Lin Bai's gaze landed on the ancient wooden bed. According to his past experience in movies and TV dramas, it seemed that the ancient people liked to put precious things in the wooden bed of some kind of secret box.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Bai sent a wisp of his Divine Sense into the wooden bed. His spiritual will seemed to swim like a thread as it instantly wrapped around the wooden bed. After some investigation, Lin Bai astonishingly discovered that there was a black object in the lower left corner of the bed.

Since he had already discovered something, Lin Bai did not hesitate any longer. He slowly walked towards the wooden bed and extended his hand to touch the place where his spiritual will had reached. As soon as his hand touched it, he gently pulled out a small wooden box. The wooden box was not carved at all, and it was obviously made together with the wooden bed. The combination of the two was flawless, and from the outside, it didn't even have a hair's breadth of crack. This was the reason why Lin Bai hadn't discovered the wooden box before.

Lin Bai lifted his hand and placed the heavy wooden box on the wooden table before him. Then, he opened it! Inside the wooden box, there was actually a small, old oilskin bag. When Lin Bai opened the oilskin bag, an old notebook that looked extremely old and worn out dropped out. The spine of the book almost fell apart.

After glancing at the cover of the notebook, Lin Bai could not help but be surprised. On the cover, there were six flamboyant words written in large calligraphy: Oceanic Exploration exam!

What the exploration exam was, it was the log of the entire fleet! According to the original maritime rules, the only person qualified to write such a thing was the fleet's registrar. Lin Bai had never imagined that his luck would reach such a heaven-defying level by a coincidence like this. He had randomly picked a treasured vessel, and it was actually the treasured vessel that the clerk was on.

When Lin Bai opened the title page and saw the row of graceful words, Lin Bai was so shocked that he almost fainted! On the title page, there was a line of delicate calligraphy written like a woman's calligraphy. It was actually written: Xuande 5 years, seven conquest of the Western Ocean, and the imperial edict for this exploration.

The translation of this passage into modern language was very simple: Five years after Xuan De left for the seventh time in the Western Ocean, a peacemaker ordered the registrar to write down a copy of the survey, recording the route and the voyage log for the use of future generations.

Upon seeing these words, Lin Bai was so astonished that he was on the verge of fainting. Excitement could be seen on his face. Who was the He in this passage other than the Zheng He who had gone to the West seven times and became the pioneer in the age of great navigation?

Lin Bai had never thought that the words written by the great man who had fought with King Yan, Zhu Di, in the war to the north, and had personally led a division of generals and set sail seven times in the Western seas would actually be so gentle and light.

However, when he thought of Zheng He's other identity, Lin Bai did not find it strange. This grand man who had accomplished an unfathomable feat actually had another name for himself. As for that name, it was the Three Treasures Eunuch. Under that heinous system, the education that the eunuchs received wasn't much different from that of women. Zheng He's calligraphy was so elegant and beautiful that it wasn't surprising.

A eunuch who had set up such an order and led his fleet to cut the wind and cut the waves, creating such a wondrous feat was enough to cause the men of the world to be ashamed.

What was even more surprising to Lin Bai was that, in his casual examination, he actually ran into Zheng He's imperial secretary so skillfully, and even personally witnessed the Mo Bao that Zheng He had personally left behind. It could be said to be extremely precious.

What was the logbook? It was the most precious written record of the size of the fleet's shipping routes. Moreover, there was a high chance that this log record would record the reason why the treasured vessel fleet appeared here in the first place, and the reason why the seafarers of the treasured vessel fleet encountered such a matter here, as well as the reason why the treasured vessel was here for such a long time.

Most importantly, the opportunity to escape from this space might very well be in this log!

Taking a deep breath and calming his heart, Lin Bai rubbed his hands together as his fingers slowly flipped through the extremely old and worn out notebook! As he flipped through the pages one by one, the magnificent history of navigation from six hundred years ago slowly appeared before Lin Bai's eyes.
