C1896 The Logbook of Six Hundred Years Ago(3)

From six years to eight years, Zheng He had been busy in India. The clerk in charge of the log didn't know what Zheng He was doing, but Lin Bai knew very well that what Zheng He was doing must be the Dragon Guards of Ganges and Lumbini!

The setup of the eight door locks of the Dragon Bureau was extremely complicated, and involved all sorts of forces. It was because of this that Zheng He needed a lot of manpower and time to carry out the project.

However, what Lin Bai could not understand was why Zheng He died here! According to historical records, Zheng He died at the age of sixty-two. For ordinary people, sixty-two was a long life. But with so much protection from his teacher and Zheng He's martial arts background, he lived to be 62 years old. It wasn't considered a long life!

Most importantly, if Zheng He died and the fleet returned, how would they explain the appearance of these precious ships? It couldn't be that some alien or black hole had moved them here, right?

Thinking to this point, Lin Bai suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued flipping through the books, hoping to clarify the answers to these questions.

Xuande 8 years, April 5th, Qingqing! Lord Wang Jinghong didn't seem to care much about the news of Lord Zheng's death. He had already begun instructing us to pack up the ships and conduct a final exchange of spices and gems before returning to Huaxia.

His attitude made me very angry! But I'm glad that Lord Wang Jinghong finally made a new decision. He wanted some of us to stay here and wait for the immortal masters to bring back Lord Zheng's remains to be buried in Hua Xia!

Having gone through four dynasties and achieved unparalleled feats, Lord Zheng is strong and powerful, his spirit knows everything, and I am the only one who can enjoy it!

Xuan De 8 years April 6th, Qingqing! Master Wang Jinghong left. He took a portion of the sailors away and left us here with the other sailors to welcome the remains of Master Zheng. However, I noticed that when he left, the ships he took with him were all smaller treasure ships. The real giant ships stayed behind and even prepared a lot of food and fodder for us.

I don't understand what Lord Wang means. Does he think that Lord Zheng's Heroic Spirit will continue to lead us deeper into the ocean?

Xuande 8 years April 8th, Qingqing! Those immortal masters who had not been heard from for two whole years had finally returned!

However, the coffin that returned with them was nowhere to be found! Because they did not need a coffin! It was because Lord Zheng was on the treasured vessel himself! He was living well, and his spirit looked better than it had in the past. It was as if his wish had been fulfilled!

All the crew members were shocked. Including me, we thought that this Lord Zheng was just a ghost brought back by the immortal masters! But soon, we knew we were wrong. The one who came back was indeed Lord Zheng!

According to Lord Zheng, the reason for this loophole was simple. It was because Lord Wang Jinghong had received the wrong information. He had quarreled with a small tribe within the barbarian race. Those barbarians had lied and reported his death.

However, I feel that the matter isn't as simple as Master Zheng said. Furthermore, Master Wang Jinghong seems to have long known that Master Zheng was still alive! If not, why would Lord Wang Jinghong leave behind so many treasured ships and provisions to receive a dead man's coffin back to Hua Xia? At most, two ships would be enough and he wouldn't need so many people to escort them.

No matter what, Zheng was still alive. That was lucky enough! What's more, the news that we're following Master Zheng is even more shocking. Master Zheng wants to lead us deeper into the ocean. According to him, there should be another continent on the other side of the ocean.

I don't believe it, but I have to follow you! More and more, I want to know what is Lord Zheng trying to do!

Zheng He did not die! Upon seeing this, Lin Bai's eyes could not help but turn cold as he clenched his fists! When he was trying to crack the Eight Lock Dragon Bureau in Mexico, he already had deep doubts about the history of Zheng He's death. Because without a strong and courageous pilot, even with a strong fleet, it would still be impossible to complete the ocean voyage!

It was just that he didn't have any evidence back then, and now the evidence was right in front of him.

Moreover, he knew even better than the clerk what kind of place the continent that Zheng He spoke of was, that is, the American continent! The reason why Zheng He knew about the existence of that continent was likely because of the deductions of those 'immortal masters'!

What happened next? What are the unanswered questions in the logbook? The doubts in Lin Bai's heart grew deeper and deeper. And with these doubts in his mind, the speed at which he flipped through the logbooks became faster and faster.

On the seventh day of the seventh month of the eighth year of Xuan De … We arrived at a strange continent. The barbarians that lived here were all black in color, and looked no different from wild beasts. Moreover, there were many strange beasts that only existed in the legends of Huaxia. Some of them had long necks of wild beasts, while others were fat and could only stay in the muddy water.

I could feel that after separating from Lord Wang Jinghong, Lord Zheng's mood was much better than before. I could feel it from the more he spoke to us. He told us that strange beasts that I am not familiar with are actually very common on this continent. The qilin that he brought back with him on previous voyages is also one of the products of this continent.

I thought this continent was the land we were looking for, but Lord Zheng and the other immortal masters told me that this wasn't the land we were looking for. I don't believe it. Go on, is that the end of the ocean?

Also, I noticed that there was one more person on the ship, or more accurately, there was one more immortal master. Moreover, the other immortal masters, including Lord Zheng, were extremely respectful towards that immortal master. Even when facing the emperor, they were not as respectful as that immortal master. To them, that immortal master was the true immortal master of legends!

In addition, I seem to have heard those immortal masters address that old immortal master as' Immortal Liu '! I don't think much of the way they address the old immortal master. Who does he think he is? How dare he call himself an immortal?

_

Old immortal master?! Immortal Liu?! As Lin Bai read up to this point, he felt a rush of hot blood in his mind. Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded out in his mind, as if he had been struck by lightning. He froze on the spot!

[Who else in the world could have Zheng He be but the sixth generation Patriarch, who could have so much reverence?!] At this moment, he had a strong premonition that this old immortal master was definitely the sixth generation ancestor!

After the sixth generation ancestor sealed Yao Guangxiao, he actually didn't die. He didn't go to any other place, but was still setting up the eight-door locked dragon chief! But according to what Yao Guangxiao had said before, hadn't these eight locks already been set up?

No, that's not right. The Sixth Ancestor was a learned man. How could he let Yao Guangxiao grasp the truth of the matter with such meticulous care and thought? When he sealed Yao Guangxiao back then, it was definitely just to lay a pretense! The real Eight Lock Dragon Department had yet to succeed at that time. It was just that Uncle Liu knew Yao Guangxiao's thoughts in advance and had no choice but to make this move!

The more he thought about it, the more Lin Bai felt that this idea was extremely precise. The Dragon Bureau of the Eight Lock Doors had such an exquisite layout. If it were just a few blueprints and articles, it would simply be impossible to perfectly present it. Only someone who could come up with such a method would be able to accomplish something like this, and that person was none other than Uncle Liu!

But, what Lin Bai couldn't understand was, if the immortal master on the boat was really Uncle Liu, then after the eight dragon guards were successfully arranged, why didn't these treasured ships return to Hua Xia to announce the discovery of the new world to the world?

What in the world was going on here? The more he thought about it, the more the doubts in Lin Bai's heart grew, and the more he wanted to unravel the truth of the matter. One had to know that what the Sixth Patriarch did in his lifetime was inconceivable, to the point where Lin Bai felt that everything he did before was somehow related to that Sixth Ancestor. This made Lin Bai want to find out the truth behind everything!

Without any hesitation, Lin Bai flipped open the book and looked at the log book in ten lines!

Xuan He, April 5th, Qing Qing! After a year of sailing, we finally arrived at the continent that the immortal masters and Lord Zheng were talking about. I really didn't expect that there would be such a land on the other side of the ocean.

Not only that, I discovered that this land was even more fertile than Hua Xia's disciples, and the climate was even better. There were many specialties that Hua Xia had never heard of and had never seen before. I don't dare to imagine, if we bring this news back to China, what kind of huge shock would be caused by it, and China would probably become the world's largest empire!

Not only me, even the immortal masters were extremely shocked when they saw this continent. Only the old immortal master whom they called 'Immortal Liu' was not surprised by this. It was as if he had known about the existence of this land for a long time.

However, in my opinion, this old immortal master's attitude is just an act. Even if he is an immortal, how would he know about this secret?!

Xuanhe and May 6th, Qingqing! All the ships have docked, and we find that there are very few people living on this continent, and many are still drinking blood and painting all sorts of fancy things, and they are very hostile.

After a fight, we won an absolute victory. After tonight's bonfire party, Lord Zheng announced a shocking piece of news to us. He's taking us deep into the continent, leaving only a small portion of us to guard the ships!

And he wants to take me with him to the depths of that continent, including me!
