Star Patterns Attract the Sky

Introduction to the work "Star Patterns Lead the Cangming" A family heirloom "star pattern shell" caused the family destruction of Chen Mu, a boy from the fishing village, on the night of the Jiajing Dynasty's strict sea ban. In the blood and fire, he narrowly escaped with his innate "sea sense" that can sense ocean currents and rocks, and was forced to board the crisis-ridden smuggling ship "Fuchang". The imperial court's maritime ban is as strong as iron, and the undercurrent of ships on the sea is turbulent. A mysterious killer disguised as a Japanese pirate, a tycoon who controls maritime smuggling, a powerful man in the Ministry of Industry who embezzles military resources, a Portuguese careerist who travels across the ocean... All forces are like sharks smelling blood. For a "Cangming Map" that is said to point to overseas secrets and routes, a huge undercurrent is set off along the southeastern coast. The star pattern shell in Chen Mu's hand is the key "star key" to piece together the "Cangming Map". From the Longtan Tiger's Den in Shuangyu Port, to the dense secret warehouse of the Ministry of Industry in the capital, and then to the fog-shrouded Penglai Island overseas, he relied on his increasingly sophisticated navigation skills and extraordinary courage to struggle to survive in the cracks of all parties. The star patterns refer not only to gold and silver treasures, but also to a shocking secret that could shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. Can Chen Mu solve the mystery that his fathers guarded with their lives, and find a path of survival and revenge for a small person among the angry waves and the ghosts of the human heart? This is an epic that combines historical research, navigation adventure, suspense and puzzle solving, and court intrigue. Follow the young man Chen Mu and go deep into the turbulent "maritime arena" during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.
