Chapter 149: The Secret Room in the Valley
The mural is from right to left.
In the first, a man is as strong as an ox, born with heavy eyes, holding a gold medal in both hands, and the surrounding people are holding wooden poles and cheering.
"Uprising..."
Jiang Lingyun muttered to himself.
The meaning in the painting is self-explanatory. "Heavy pupils" is the image of an ancient saint, and this man must be the leader of the people.
As for that gold medal...
In the second painting, the people have changed their attire from peasants to soldiers, and they go out with the men.
As in the first picture, the man holds the gold medal in both hands, emitting a glittering divine light, and the enemy forces that rush up are routed.
Jiang Lingyun's eyebrows furrowed.
Throughout ancient history, there are countless legends related to emperors and generals. But this "gold medal" is really unheard of.
He shook his head slightly.
If you don't guess wrong...
These murals are all depicting the great achievements of the owner of the valley, that is, the man in the painting.
So I want to come.
That gold medal is just a fabrication, and it doesn't exist in reality.
There is no need to explore the deeds that have not even been recorded in the history of the wilderness.
Jiang Lingyun was about to withdraw his gaze.
But out of the corner of my eye, when I caught a glimpse of the third mural...
His pupils constricted!
"This is..."
When viewed, under the thick ink and color of the mural, some of the hidden lines and coils are revealed, hooked with each other, like a map.
Jiang Lingyun's heart was shocked!
Previously, he had hidden a piece of gold paper in the stone he had photographed from Sioux City, and the map in it was incomplete, but only partial.
And in front of me, this map hidden by a mural...
It's the other part!
"Sioux City?"
After several identifications, Jiang Lingyun can almost determine that the map in the painting is from here as a starting point to the northwest corner of Su City.
With the Sioux River as the boundary, the entire northern part of the city of Sioux is covered.
The mark in the painting...
It is the commercial center of Sioux City today!
After a moment, Jiang Lingyun calmed down.
"Treasure map?"
The gold paper map guided him to find this valley and get the Marshal Seal and the Qing Gang Dagger. Then it is not difficult to deduce that the mural map also refers to something.
But after thinking about it, he shook his head after all.
Now, it's not the time to go there, the Zhao family in Su City has a deep heritage and huge power, plus Qiu Xian.
With his current strength, he may not be able to cope with it.
"But this chamber..."
Jiang Lingyun's gaze shifted from the mural to the southeast corner, staring at it for a long time, and finally showed a smile.
Down there...
It's a gold mine!
The small secret room has countless precious relics, a mysterious map hidden in the mural, and a gold mine that has just been dug up.
It's incredible!
In fact, combined with the content of the mural, it is not difficult to guess what happened to the owner of the valley back then.
First, gold was discovered.
In order to be reasonable and legal, he privately melted and cast the gold medal, and called it "God-granted" Yunyun, which won the support of the villagers and became the "true dragon son of heaven".
The costumes of the enemy soldiers in the mural changed from Yuan to Ming.
It can be seen that after the rebellion of the owner of the valley, he experienced the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, but he never succeeded, so he could only defend here.
"Even if you guard the gold mine, you don't have a chance to mine it..."
Jiang Lingyun shook his head and sighed.
"It's a pity!"
In the frescoes, there is no record of the end of the valley owner.
But according to Jiang Lingyun's guess, the large array outside the valley was not destroyed, and there were no extra bones in the valley.
Maybe this valley master was tricked out and killed by spies, maybe he didn't know.
This is really embarrassing.
Jiang Lingyun obtained the Marshal Seal, and its owner Guo Tianxu was also betrayed by a spy and died. The two have the same opportunity, which is really a coincidence.
"Hmm..."
Rao is with his see-through eyes, and in the face of such a rich and huge gold mine, he also feels endless.
Far from a small gold mine!
Plus other associated mineral resources...
With such a huge wealth, it is impossible for anyone not to be moved.
Jiang Lingyun could only smile bitterly.
In order to exploit minerals, it is necessary to obtain the right to prospect, the right to exploit, and the right to sell the mineral.
When it comes to prospecting rights alone, you need to go through the bidding procedure.
With such a large gold mine, millions of dollars are given for nothing, and at least tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of funds are prepared.
But luckily...
No one knew this chamber existed!
Soon after.
Jiang Lingyun returned to the thatched house and turned the mechanism.
Bang...
The clay kang is tightly together.
That secret passage never seemed to exist.
After some time, when he left the valley, Kuju stood by the ladder to the sky, and when he saw him coming up, he hurriedly asked.
"Are there any new discoveries?"
"Yes. ”
Jiang Lingyun nodded and walked into the large array of organs.
As he walked out, he replied truthfully.
"There's a secret room down there, and there's a lot of artifacts hidden, but..."
"I see!"
Kuju suddenly realized: "There are also mechanisms in it, so you won't let me follow you." ”
"Shouldn't I tell Bureau Zhao about the cultural relics?"
She followed closely behind Jiang Lingyun, staring at his back.
Inner entanglement, struggle.
Generally speaking, cultural relics with historical value must be handed over after they are discovered, but Jiang Lingyun is in the antique business, will he want to swallow it privately?
"It's up to you. ”
Jiang Lingyun was noncommittal.
Those artifacts...
Of course, he can stay on his own, but once he appears in the market, it is difficult to tell where he came from.
If you have a heart.
Anyone can make a big deal out of it...
As a result, cultural relics will be confiscated at the worst and jailed at worst.
It's more than worth the loss!
Rather than this, it is better to be a favor.
And...
Jiang Lingyun smiled slightly.
With this large array guarded, it will be difficult for others to enter the valley.
Half an hour later.
The two followed the mountain road and returned to the van.
The night is getting thicker, only the mountain wind is whistling in my ears, and this barren mountain is lonely.
Along.
Kuju was in a hurry, and she didn't know how many text messages she sent.
Every few minutes, he had to sneak a peek at Jiang Lingyun, and he was quite a thief.
All of this was seen by Jiang Lingyun.
Jingle bells!
When driving into the downtown area of Anshi, Kuju's mobile phone finally rang.
"Hey, Zhao Ju..."
Kuju lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of being heard.
But soon, she was slightly stunned.
"Looking for him?"
"Then I'll ask. ”
Kuju put down her phone and asked tentatively: "What, Zhao Ju wants to talk to you about things." ”
"Look?"
"Give it to me. ”
Jiang Lingyun pulled the car to the side of the road.
As soon as I answered the phone, laughter rang out from the receiver.
"Mr. Jiang, you are really amazing!"
Zhao Song changed his previous steadiness, and as soon as he spoke, he even slapped his ass.
"This discovery will definitely shake the whole province..."
"Where's that valley?"
"I heard Kuju say, there is still some miasma around, how did you get in..."
Old fox!
Jiang Lingyun laughed in his heart.
He asked rhetorically: "Zhao Ju, even if I tell you the right path, you can't move all the cultural relics out, right?"
So many artifacts.
Many of them require several people to work together to move.
It's easy to say, but while working together to carry cultural relics, you have to be careful not to touch the mechanism, which is too difficult.
Again.
Cultural relics are indeed important, but the lives of the staff...
Isn't it more important?
"Hey, look at what you said!"
Zhao Song laughed a few times, very helpless.
"Mr. Jiang, we can be considered a little friendly, right?"
"Since you know how to get through the mechanism, don't you..."
"Do you know how to demolish it?"
The corners of Jiang Lingyun's mouth turned up slightly.
Zhao Song is really shameless for this batch of cultural relics.
But...
That's exactly what he wants.
"Of course I do!"
Jiang Lingyun said with a smile.
"But Zhao Ju..."
"If you want to dismantle these mechanisms, the cost is not low, you have to be mentally prepared. ”
