Since the day they set off,MoFan and his companions have been drifting sea for six days. As previously stated, druing this period, the sea was shrouded in thick fog with extremely low visibility. Therefore, MoFan and his companions could only rely on the compass to keep heading towards the direction closer to Japan.
Perhaps it was because of the approaching Mid-Autumn festival, although the visibility at sea was poor, the moon in the sky became rounder and rounder each day. At this moment, Mofan was standing alone at the bow of the boat, gazing at the moon in the sky and quietly contemplating something.
Suddenly, behind Mo Fan, a gentle voice came," What are you thinking about all by yourself here?" The speaker was indeed LinJing.
Mofan turned around and looked at Lin Jing, saying, "Why did you come? I was just thinking about Donghuang Island."
LinJing asked curiously," What are you thinking about regarding Donghuang Island?"
Mofan answered," I am thinking what kind of Island is that odd. I have some bad presentiments of the Island."
linJing comforted MoFan and said," Don't worry, I think everything will be ok."
MoFan continued to say," As I said before, the total lunar eclipse is approaching. Then we will be able to see this Island. During this period, we must be extremely vigilant to prevent any accidents from happening."
Lin Jing curiously asked, "Why do you want to go and find Donghuang Island, and also want to find the map of the underground tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang?"
Mofan said seriously, "Perhaps this has something to do with my family's history? I am a descendant of Mozi, who was a military strategist and thinker during the Warring States period in China. Throughout history, members of our clan have always been proficient in the studies of the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, the Hexagram Method of Hidden Arts, and mechanical weapons. The Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang has always been a mystery that all of us, the descendants of Mozi, have been eager to uncover. It is said that within it are the most ingenious traps and treasures that could rival those of a kingdom. I really want to know the secrets hidden inside. Let's consider this mission as fulfilling our family's dream and satisfying my curiosity."
Lin Jing heard Mo Fan's words and said, "Actually, my dream is also to become an outstanding historian, constantly exploring the gaps in the study of Chinese history. I think we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."
Mofan replied, "We will definitely have a pleasant cooperation."
While the two were continuing to talk about some interesting things that had happened in their respective fields of work, suddenly one of Uncle Jun's attendants came to the bow of the ship, interrupting their pleasant conversation and saying, "Sorry to disturb you, sir. The boss has asked you to come to the cabin to discuss something with you."
