Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 148 The Progress of the Treasure

The atmosphere of the crowd was good at night, everyone gathered in the main house for dinner, and after dinner they got together to discuss the treasure hunt.

Everyone sensibly did not mention the killing of Daisuke Misaku, but the group of treasure hunters still talked about the legend of the mountain boy with ill intentions.

However, this legend did not have a very good intimidating effect. Except for Kohei Himura who seemed a little uneasy, there were no good people who could come here for treasure hunting, so there was no one who was as frightened as Nanase Miyuki.

Although the group of treasure hunters were very inconspicuous, they were quite professional.

Yashishima Takazo specializes in folklore and told a lot of stories about this island; Kakimoto Asahi is physically strong and has strong survival skills, and shared some survival knowledge; Yadi Hisagi, despite his strange appearance, unexpectedly cooperated Strong personality, all aspects of skills are also available.

It can be seen from the speech and demeanor that these three people should have cooperated before, and they cooperated very well.

Although pretending to share a lot of information inadvertently, but the authenticity of these information... You need to judge by yourself. Anyway, according to Chris's knowledge, what these people said is half-truth and half-false, and there are many confusions Audiovisual speculation.

Before they knew it, it was midnight, and everyone returned to their cabins to rest and prepare for the next day's treasure hunt.

Kakimoto Asahi was the first to leave, and left before ten o'clock, saying that he wanted to recharge his batteries and get up early tomorrow to go treasure hunting.

Chris was the last one to return to his cabin, and it was almost two o'clock, but it didn't matter, he was insomnia again anyway.

In his cabin, Chris summed up today's harvest.

Chris was different from Kindaichi. He had prepared information about the island early in the morning, including a map of the island.

There is no house built by Daisuke Misaku on the map of this island, only the terrain.

The overall shape of the island is a triangle, the topography is high in the north and low in the south, high in the east and low in the west.

The higher place in the north is now a piece of flat land. The main house was built here, and there are the fewest relics and the most open space here, so the surrounding fields have been reclaimed to grow food and vegetables, and many poultry are also raised.

Daisuke Misaku was originally so self-sufficient.

There is also a natural hot spring here, because there is a geyser at the bottom of the northernmost cliff on the island, and every twelve o'clock at noon, 120-degree hot water will spurt out.

The reason why the water temperature can reach 120 degrees is because the water is rich in minerals.

By the way, there is a black torii gate next to the fountain, because it is not very obvious under the cliff, so Jin Tianyi did not find it today.

Turn clockwise to the northeast direction. The northeast direction has the highest terrain and the highest cliff. There is a long gap in the east. There are two small wooden houses between the cliff and the gap. Misaka Aoki and Iwata Hidesaku live here.

Although the terrain here is high, the road is flat and easy to walk on.

In the southeast, the terrain is getting lower and there is a beach. There are two small wooden houses between the beach and the gap, where Takazo Yasoshima and Asato Kakimoto live respectively.

This can be said to be the most remote place, because not only is it the farthest from the main house, but also because of the gap, the road connecting both sides is a steep and winding ramp, which is very difficult to walk.

To the west of their two cabins is a small forest, and through the woods are two more cabins, where Chris himself and doctor Huo Cunping live.

This place is already due south, close to the pier due south, there is a road in good condition between the pier and the main house, but because it runs through the relic forest, it is not as easy to walk as the north road.

There are also two cabins on the west side of the pier, where Mao Xingzi and Yadi Jiuyi live.

The road conditions here are similar to Chris's. The southwest side here is the largest beach on the entire island, and the green torii is here.

Kazuji Kaneda and Miyuki Nanase's cabin is directly west of the main house. Although the terrain is slightly lower than that to the east, the road conditions are slightly worse.

This alone is easier than any road in the south.

In the center of the island is the Relic Forest, full of relics and statues.

Everyone's initial judgment is that the treasure should be in the ruins forest. As for whether anyone believes it...it's a matter of opinion!
By the way, the white torii is just south of the relic forest, which looks like its gateway.

Speaking of torii gates, it's not that Chris doesn't know the patterns on it, but he just doesn't want to share them with Kaneda one by one.

It was ancient Hebrew, but it seemed to have been artistically and locally processed, plus it had been eroded over time, so only a few words could be vaguely discerned.

Don't ask why Chris understands ancient Hebrew, just ask because he is knowledgeable, and besides, King Solomon originally used ancient Hebrew.

After all, he is a descendant of King Solomon!

Based on his own knowledge and the information provided by the treasure hunters, Chris guessed that this passage of ancient Hebrew was the original riddle that revealed the location of the treasure, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi and others didn't know it, they just thought it was a spell, so they put this passage After localized processing with a little knowledge, it was engraved on the torii gate.

Torii is a unique building in Japan, so it was definitely not built by the person who buried the treasure, so it is probably a marker set by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to find the treasure again.

Perhaps the treasure is hidden next to one of the torii gates.

The ornamentation of the two torii gates is the same, but the degree of incompleteness is different. Chris only extracted five words from them.

"Moon, Moses, Glory, Greed, Heads of Saints."

The "moon" was also mentioned in the previous ancient poem!
Maybe the place where the treasure is buried has something to do with the moon?

What exactly does the moon refer to?

No clue.

Among the other words, the words glory and greed probably don't have much meaning.

The top of the saint's head may refer to a certain location.

Moses is the name of a person. If Chris guessed correctly, this should refer to an ancient man, the leader of the ancient Hebrews.

This man can be said to be the "sage" of the Hebrews. He led the ancient Hebrews who were enslaved by the Egyptians across the Red Sea and arrived at Canaan (the land of milk and honey prepared by God) (now Jordan River). and the west coast of the Dead Sea)", which has made great contributions to national independence.

"Exodus" is the story told.

He also has a particularly famous allusion - Moses parting the sea.

This story is recorded in the Bible.

Legend has it that when Moses led the Hebrews to escape Egypt, they were blocked by the Red Sea.

A miracle happened at this time. Jehovah used divine power to divide the Red Sea into two, and a road was exposed in the middle, so Moses and his team crossed the Red Sea. They were all submerged in the sea.

There are other versions of this story. For example, because Moses was God's messenger, he used divine power or a magical staff to part the Red Sea.

and many more!

Fenhai······
moon······
passing water
Gradually rise...
This does not refer to the tides!
With this inspiration, Chris looked at the ancient poem again, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was right.

The passing water refers to the ebb tide, and the magic eye refers to the cave.

If so, the treasure should be hidden in a place that will appear whenever the tide goes out!
