Chapter 392

Countless thoughts churned in Tianzhen's mind, and Fatty kept discussing it as well.

Just as the two were constantly connecting Zhang Lin's storytelling content, they suddenly felt the ship shaking violently.

The sea, which had just had wind, began to surge with big waves before they knew it!

After only a few minutes, raindrops the size of soybeans fell down with a swish.

Making the few people standing on the deck instantly soaked like drowned rats!

As the wind and waves grew, it became increasingly difficult to stand on the deck.

Professor Chen had already requested everyone to return to the cabin amidst the captain's shouts.

Just at this moment, Zhang Tianshi Zhang suddenly pointed not far away and said: "What is that thing?"

Tianzhen turned his head and tried hard to squint his eyes in the wind and rain.

He saw a huge shadow approaching not far away!

After seeing it clearly, Tianzhen's lips trembled.

"My god, it's a ship! It's a Ming-style treasure ship!"

……

The Ming-style treasure ship is the exclusive name for the ships Zheng He took on his voyages to the Western Ocean!

Those that could be called great treasure ships could reach a length of one hundred and forty meters, with a displacement of ten thousand tons, the largest in the world at that time!

Moreover, the great treasure ships belonged to the category of tower ships, with many layers.

From the bottom of the cabin to the deck, it could be divided into five layers, and the deck was larger than a football field!

No wonder Tianzhen looked from afar and only felt a huge shadow attacking!

The largest treasure ship could carry at least a thousand people!

And the ship Professor Chen led the team to sea on this time was not a ten-thousand-ton cruise ship specializing in the Xisha tourism route.

It was just a two-thousand-ton patrol ship, which had been dispatched by the authorities.

At that time, Tianzhen felt that a two-thousand-ton ship was already huge enough, but he didn't expect it to appear very small in front of the great treasure ship!

The crowd preparing to enter the cabin also heard Tianzhen's exclamation.

Professor Chen only took one look into the distance and was so shocked that he couldn't move his feet!

"My god! Could this…… be the main ship of the Eunuch Sanbao?!"

At this time, the wind and waves intensified, and the rain poured down; the captain was already extremely anxious.

Especially when he saw a behemoth approaching in the distance, but there was no display on the cabin radar, the captain's heart jumped!

He shouted for everyone to enter the cabin quickly: "Don't look, get in quickly! This treasure ship has problems!"

"We'd better speed up and sail away from this sea area!"

The captain was extremely anxious, but unfortunately, this group of people were all archaeological experts.

Seeing the appearance of a Ming-style treasure ship, of which there were no physical objects left in modern times, everyone was extremely excited!

If it weren't for the wind and waves being too big, Professor Chen would have wanted to let the captain sail closer to the great treasure ship and board it to take a look!

The captain was anxious, and the fishing guide found by the archaeological team was shaking like a sieve.

He kept begging everyone to go in quickly and leave this place.

"Professor, let's go quickly! This is a ghost ship! We can't get close!"

"That's a vengeful ghost coming to claim a life; we can't look, we can't look!"

But his voice was drowned out in the rainstorm, and no one paid any attention.

Amidst the wind and waves, everyone needed to grab the handrails to stand firm.

Not only were they soaked through, but the rain and sea waves had already made it impossible for people to open their eyes at all!

Professor Chen, at his age, held onto a railing firmly, but tried hard to open his eyes to see the appearance of the great treasure ship clearly!

Just as the crowd was pulling and tugging, the great treasure ship had already approached silently!

On the pitch-black sea, accompanied by the occasional flash of lightning, one could vaguely see the sails of the great treasure ship.

When Professor Chen confirmed again that this giant ship was a pure wooden Ming-style treasure ship, he was already having the team members prepare ropes, wanting to wait for the treasure ship to approach!

Fatty moved his body and slowly crawled to Tianzhen's side, shouting in the wind and waves: "This ship is not right! Why does it feel like there are still lights on the ship?"

Tianzhen, hearing this, squinted his eyes to look carefully, and sure enough, he discovered that in the center of the treasure ship's cabin, there seemed to be a dim yellow light!

It was just that in this pouring rain, it was not very clear.

Fatty shouted again: "This damn Ming Dynasty ship, how could it still be sailing now?"

"That fisherman said this is a ghost ship; Fatty, I see something fishy, it's better to run away early!"

Zhang Tianshi Zhang didn't know when he had also come over.

Unlike Tianzhen and Fatty, he only needed to grab the railing with one hand to stabilize his figure; except for being soaked all over, his movements were not embarrassed at all.

"This ship does have problems; not only are there lights, look at the hull!"

Following Zhang Tianshi Zhang's pointing, the two looked at the treasure ship's hull together and discovered that the wood was actually reflecting a patch of white!

Zhang Tianshi Zhang said loudly: "That's sea rust; this ship shouldn't be appearing on the sea at all!"

"The traces of erosion on this layer of wood clearly look like it has been soaked in water for many years."

"It's truly bizarre that it hasn't rotted or fallen apart."

Hearing this, Fatty and Tianzhen's hair stood on end.

Even though they were soaked through, it didn't stop them from breaking out in a cold sweat behind their backs!

A Ming-style great treasure ship that should have been rotting in the sea was suddenly sailing on the sea surface just fine.

If this isn't a ghost ship, what is?

Amidst the wind and waves, that huge treasure ship seemed to be able to drift, getting closer and closer to them!

Tianzhen felt a chill in his heart, but suddenly heard Fatty laughing on the side.

That laughter gave Tianzhen goosebumps; swaying, he tried hard to free one hand and slapped Fatty on the back of the head!

"What time is it, you damn fool, what are you laughing at?"

Fatty was hit but didn't get angry; instead, he couldn't help but laugh wildly: "I listened to Mr. Zhang's storytelling and saw this Ming-style treasure ship appear, and I had a wonderful association in my heart!"

Tianzhen's heart stirred; he didn't know what Fatty could associate with in this big wind and wave.

Before he could ask, he heard Fatty shout again: "It's the Unbeatable Stone! The Unbeatable Stone!"

"Listening to Mr. Wei's meaning, that stone was suspected to have been obtained by the Hongwu Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"But the Great Ming eventually failed; you say, if the descendants of the Great Ming always had the Unbeatable Stone, why would they fail?"

Fatty's shouting passed through the wind and waves, and by the time it reached Tianzhen's ear, it had dissipated almost entirely.

Others couldn't hear what he was shouting at all!

Tianzhen, however, had no time to pay attention to Fatty's muttering, because that treasure ship was getting closer and closer!

The oppressive feeling brought by the five-story treasure ship made one's heart feel cold.

Tianzhen responded perfunctorily: "How would I know why they failed? It must be that the descendants were not up to the task!"

Who knew Fatty would laugh and say: "No! It's that the Unbeatable Stone was taken away!"

"It was taken away by Zhu Yunwen! So the Eunuch Sanbao's voyage to the Western Ocean was to find this stone!"

"Tianzhen, you say, this stone disappeared since the Buddha Lord's period; could it be on this ship?"

Amidst the wind and waves, Fatty's words were like a lightning strike, making Tianzhen's whole body shake!

He opened his mouth wide and looked at the eerie treasure ship, his heart surging.

As if through the dim yellow light of the treasure ship, he saw Zheng He, who stood at the bow of the ship three hundred years ago with a mission to go to the Western Ocean!
