Mai Ke first walked to the nearest stone cave, grabbed the lock on the door, and twisted it vigorously, trying to break it, but to no avail. So he took out his military dagger and cut the lock in one fell swoop. Pushing open the door, a musty smell hit my face. He waited outside for about a quarter of an hour before walking in.

There are tables, chairs, and beds in the room, which is obviously a place for people to do things and sleep. On the large table in the center, there is a white jade paperweight. A piece of paper is pressed underneath the paperweight. There is faint handwriting on the paper.

Mai Ke stepped forward and opened the paperweight, and saw that the paper was slightly larger than the paperweight, the exposed part was yellowed and brittle, and the pressed part was still white and soft. The handwriting is written in small letters, although the penmanship is not very good, but it is neat and powerful, and it seems to be from the hands of military generals.

If you look closely, it turns out that there is not only one, but three. Due to the good quality of the paper, it is as thin as a cicada's wings. He took a look at the first one, which began with the words "To the Visitor."

Before reading the content in the middle, Mai Ke first went to the end of the letter to see who wrote it. At the check-in place, I saw that the letter writer was "Li Shuangxi", and the title and date were with the name. Among them, the title is "Special Envoy of the Great Shun Emperor under the Command of the Yihou Weiwu General Southbound", and the date is "The 10th day of the third month of the second year of the Great Shun Kingdom".

It seems that this is the righteous son of the king of Chuang. Mai Ke didn't know much about the history of the late Ming Dynasty, except for King Chuang Yizi, he didn't know anything about his title and why it appeared here. Let's see what he had to say.

It turned out that Li Shuangxi was sent here by Li Zicheng. After the rebels captured the Ming emperor's lair in April 1644, Li Zicheng was immediately proclaimed emperor at the instigation of everyone. And Li Zicheng himself actually knows better than other rebel leaders that they are already in crisis.

So he secretly sent his most trusted son Li Shuangxi as a special envoy to the south, and went south by sea to prepare for the worst. In addition to the 3,000 most elite soldiers, he was accompanied by a great deal of wealth.

These riches are the result of the rebels taking away all the treasures in the palace after breaking through the imperial capital. At the same time, the generals also forced the rich to hand over their wealth in the name of "recovering stolen goods and helping them to pay money". Most of this wealth was also handed over to Emperor Dashun and transported away by him.

Most of the wealth is made up of silver, but there are also gold and jade. The palace also has a large collection of art, crafts, pictures, calligraphy, etc. These are all funds prepared for the purpose of equipping the army and establishing political power.

"Recently, I suddenly heard that my father left Beijing and moved south, and I decided to go to the trouble in a hurry. Treasures and other items are temporarily stored here. If the visitor has the same aspiration to destroy the Qingqing, he can use it as much as he wants. If you don't have this heart, you will take nothing in vain, and God will punish you. If our peers go to the ends of the earth, we will seek them out!"

After expressing this meaning, Li Shuangxi recounted the contents of two other sheets of paper, one explaining how he led his army out, and the other explaining the distribution of treasures in the various caves.

Mai Ke first picked up the treasure map, which listed a total of twenty-two caves, arranged in the order of the heavenly and terrestrial branches. Among them, the ten caves of the heavenly stem are all silver, and the twelve caves of the earthly branch are all kinds of rare treasures. Judging from the mentality of the principal at that time, the most important thing was silver, which was not only in huge quantities, but also placed in the Tianzi Cave.

Although Mai Ke is not a collector, he still knows a little about the value of these treasures. Any one of them is probably priceless. I'll just see what kind of treasures these are.

So, he took the contact map and walked to the last cave of the earthly branch, which had a quaint character "Hai" on it. According to their logic, it should be the least important thing to hold here.

Like all the caves he walked through, there was no lock on the door of this cave, but a turntable in the style of a Bagua diagram. If you are an ordinary person, even if you find this place, you will be helpless. Such a device must be proficient in the messaging mechanism in order to be opened safely. If you force it open, even if you can break into the door, all the contents inside will be destroyed.

Before Mai Ke joined the special forces, he and his master had a long time studying the application of high-tech in ancient China. After entering the special forces, this kind of organ information science is also one of the skills they have to master, and they can't always use machine guns, artillery, and bazooka everywhere. If the protected object is trapped in such a trap, it also needs to be proficient to break it without harming the protected object.

For Mai Ke, who has mastered all kinds of mechanisms with the help of modern digital databases, it is really not a very serious challenge to break such a device.

I saw that he did not hesitate, stepped to the door, his feet were split against the two door frames, and his hands grabbed the door knocker in the shape of the Bagua diagram, first turning to the left twelve times, and then turning to the right twelve times. Then turn right six times and then turn left six times. Then he folded his feet and jumped back.

After five minutes, the door opened leisurely, revealing a secret in the cave to Mai Ke. "Sure enough, it's the same as what I learned at the time. Mai Ke secretly wondered. It was the first time he had turned on such a mechanism.

After waiting for a while, waiting for the air inside and the outside to communicate together, without the long-accumulated filth, Mai Ke stepped in. The first thing to do was to destroy the protections that were still tense. In order not to open the door without triggering the mechanism, after seeing the treasure, one gets carried away, hits the muzzle, and kills himself.

Then I looked around, and I saw that it was full of calligraphy and paintings! This is so interesting. What they don't fancy is turned upside down today. Any calligraphy and painting in Ouchi's collection is probably priceless, and one piece is equal to the value of a house full of silver.

Mai Ke picked up an ordinary box, opened it, took out the picture scroll inside, and then unfolded it and watched. Halfway through it, he was taken aback. What did he see?

"Qingming Riverside Map"!

"Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival"?

When he was on a mission before, he had been associated with this famous painting twice. One is the Palace Museum on this shore. It was a heavyweight international art exhibition, and this famous painting was transported from the north to Shanghai as the grand finale. Mai Ke was simply tied to this scroll that time, from escorting, to exhibition, to preservation, to transporting the object back to its original owner, he never left an inch.

As he completed the task, he also had a clear understanding of the painting. It is estimated that he said that he was second in the world, and no one dared to say first. Who is okay for ten days and eight days inseparable from this painting. Someone really wants to, he doesn't have the ability to get close.

If that were the end of the matter, it would be simple. It's strange and strange. Soon after, he went on a similar mission to the other side.

At first, he thought that the object of protection was other famous paintings, but when he saw the true face of the protected object, he couldn't help but rub his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled. When I opened my eyes and looked again, I was sure that there was no problem with my eyesight, and what I saw was real.

It turned out to be another "Qingming Riverside Picture"!

During the week of his mission, he repeatedly compared the differences between the two, trying to find out the flaws and determine who was the imitation. As a result, there was no progress.

After he returned, he carefully analyzed and compared the pictures of the two paintings he had taken during his work. As a result, it was determined that the two were still 100% similar.

In the end, he even used a high-precision image analyzer without finding any meaningful differences.

In this regard, all parties concerned have tacitly remained silent.

What kind of person has reached the level of imitation painting to Cheng Dù, or is it that Song Dynasty court painter Zhang Zeduan had nothing to do, and deliberately made a joke, and made two copies of the same painting?

He was a little indignant at the time, but now it's a little messy. If you come out of the palace directly, you can't be fake. If this is not a fake, and it is really hidden here, where should the two famous paintings that do not give in to each other and claim to be genuine?

He especially checked the inscription of the emperor of the Song Dynasty who had no skills in governing the country but was quite artistic, and the so-called thin gold body of Song Huizong later became a family of his own. With his discerning eyesight, he didn't notice any difference.

Whether it's true or not, such a national treasure-level calligraphy and painting is placed here at will. You don't need to look at the others, even if it's not more expensive than this one, at least it's on par.

Then, Mai Ke opened the door of the word 戌 in turn, the door of the unitary word, the door of the word Shen, the door of the word of the word, the door of the word of the noon, the door of the word Si, the door of the word Chen, the door of the word Mao, the door of the word Yin, the door of the ugly word, the door of the sub-word, a total of twelve caves.

It is filled with nothing more than jewels and jade, and rare and strange objects. The last two rooms are filled with copybooks and books.

Mai Ke rummaged through the last book caves and found that most of them were out-of-print books, many of which were banned at the time, and these may have been the only ones that survived.

To Mai Ke's surprise, there was a Bible inside! Although it was not the entire 66-volume book, the name was a bit strange, what was it called "Proverbs for Blessings in the West".

Except for the Bible in his equipment bag, Mai Ke did not touch anything else, and closed the caves from Zimen to Haimen.

These mechanisms seemed to be the same as before, but they were secretly manipulated by Mai Ke, making it three times more difficult to open the door. Now even if the mechanism that designed these doors came in person, it would be impossible to open them.

Haha, this is a fortune! Mai Ke teased himself about his sudden wealth. Of course, he didn't have any ambitions to do that.

I'll take these treasures unceremoniously! Mai Ke really received them with peace of mind. I definitely meet the requirements of General Li Shuangxi. I came to establish the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Manchu regime definitely has no place to stand. Give me the money, you can rest assured, I promise that good steel will be used on the blade.

Then Mai Ke picked up another piece of paper, took a cursory look, and saw that there were two parts on it.

Part of it is to illustrate this underground space. It turned out that after arriving in Gwangju, they continued to sail along the Zhujiang River, then turned to the Xijiang River, and finally stopped at Zhaozhou.

When Zhaozhou was preparing to establish a provisional regime, they were led by a middle-ranking local officer who participated in the uprising, and then they found it, and then remodeled the river, and then transported all these treasures here to hide them in case of danger.

The other part talks about how those people went out from the Dark River. These are quite tragic. Reading between the lines is full of determination to succeed if you don't succeed.

It turned out that they didn't know the specific situation of this dark river, but they had only heard the local say that what floated out of here could be found in the lower reaches of the Zhujiang River. So, in order to break through the enemy's encirclement and bypass their blockade along the Xijiang road, they gathered all the camel skin bags, one for each person, put them on their bodies, and drifted down from here.

This camel skin bag is an invention of the rebels. The whole camel skin is tanned into mature leather and sewn into a tight bag, and the person can walk or float under the water by burrowing into it. They had never tried long distances before, though.

This method is too unreliable, isn't it? While Mai Ke admires their courage, he also laments their recklessness. Judging from the fact that these people have no longer heard from history, most of them are more than lucky.

It's time for Peter to come back. Maybe he can bring back some clues?
