There is a lock on the chest, but due to the passage of time, the locks have been badly rusted, and only a slight smash of the tool can be opened.

Meng Zitao opened the first box, but saw that the box was full of silver, and when he opened the second box, it was still the same, and the third box was still like this.

Meng Zitao was a little speechless, is the silver stone worthy? It must be valuable, but there are only some silver stones that come all the way over, and even the shadow of the "Yongle Grand Canon" cannot be found, which is too disappointing.

When he opened the fourth box, he saw that it was shining with golden light, and he bought gold pills, if it was someone else, at this time, it was likely that his eyes would have lit up, but for Meng Zitao, this was really nothing, but he felt even more disappointed.

In the last box, I don't think there will be anything I want.

Meng Zitao thought so, while smashing the lock with a tool, and then opened the box, but found that the lid was very heavy, and it was much more difficult to open it than just now, and as the lid opened slowly, he also heard a rattling sound.

"Something is wrong!"

Meng Zitao hurriedly stopped the movement in his hand, but it was too late, only to hear a bang, he looked back, the entrance was sealed by a stone slab, countless holes appeared in the wall of the stone room, and the rushing water shot out, only in an instant, the water did not pass the surface of Meng Zitao's feet.

"Zitao, what's wrong!" Lu Wenle, who found the movement, asked anxiously, this is also because the rope is relatively tough, the slate is not broken, and the communication line with the rope is not completely damaged, and it can still talk for the time being, but once there is water, it is difficult to say.

"The entrance was sealed with stone slabs, and water poured into the stone chamber. Meng Zitao took the water beads, he was not in a hurry about this situation at all, his mood was no different from usual, and it may be because of this that the sixth sense did not react at all, if he changed people, it was estimated that he could only wait to be drowned.

"What!" Lu Wenle's face changed greatly, not only him, but also the people around him who learned about this situation were also anxious, but Meng Zitao didn't bring oxygen equipment down, he would drown.

"Don't worry, I can stay down there for at least half an hour, enough time to push the slate away. Meng Zitao comforted the people above, but at this time, the water rose very quickly, and it was almost flooding his chest.

"Half an hour?" The people around who didn't know anything about Meng Zitao's situation were very surprised, Meng Zitao could hold his breath for half an hour?

"Okay, I'm not going to say anything, the water is going to reach my mouth. ”

When Meng Zitao said this, he put the water-repellent beads in his mouth and swam towards the entrance of the cave, but fortunately, the lamp he brought was waterproof and the light was not affected.

But before he could make a few strokes, he saw a white crystal thing rushing out of a hole where the water was discharged, and he swam over to pick it up, and found that it was a huge pearl, but a closer look gave him a strange feeling, as if it did not look like a pearl.

Now in this situation, Meng Zitao also had no intention of studying this bead, he put the bead close to his body, swam to the entrance of the cave, and pushed the stone slab pressed against the entrance of the cave, but he did not have a good support point now, so he couldn't exert too much strength, and the slate had no reaction at all.

Checking the surrounding walls is also deliberately designed so that people don't have a point of focus.

"I don't believe it anymore. Meng Zitao also launched a ruthless attack, and there was no focus on it, so he made one himself, so he took out the knives and other things he carried with him, and dug holes in the wall.

Although it is difficult to work in the water, Meng Zitao is different from ordinary people, and he still quickly chisels out a place where he can focus on it.

"Hey!"

Meng Zitao tried, the slate moved, and at this time, he heard the sound of a drill bit, it should be that the above was working hard to rescue him.

Now the intercom equipment can no longer be used because of the water, and Meng Zitao can't manage too much, so he directly pushes it up, the slate is pushed up, and the water below immediately surges up, and the sound of the drill bit stops.

"Hell!"

No matter how hard Meng Zitao tried, he found that he couldn't push the slate away no matter what, and immediately understood that there should be something pressing on top of the slate or left and right, because of the reaction force, it was difficult for him to push the slate anymore, and the embarrassing thing was that he couldn't get out at all at the point where he pushed away.

"Yes, we can only wait for rescue from above. ”

At this time, Meng Zitao understood the truth that when manpower is poor, unless he spends time and energy to work hard, it is impossible to escape from here. Even he can only do this, if it is someone else, without advanced equipment, he will definitely have to wait for death.

Waiting is not Mencius Tao's style, he thought about it and felt that he should still go and find out the unopened box.

Meng Zitao swam back to the box, and this time he directly removed the lid with a dagger, revealing the contents of the box.

The contents of the box did not surprise Meng Zitao, it was the beginning of a mechanism, but because it had to drive the mechanism, it was difficult to lift it.

However, in addition to the mechanism, Meng Zitao also found a box inside, and he took the box out, fearing that it would damage the contents in the water, so he did not open it directly.

Meng Zitao searched around again, but found nothing else, so he carried the four boxes to the entrance of the cave one by one, and then just waited patiently.

Fortunately, in this treasure hunting operation, there are a lot of preparations, and a lot of plans have been formulated after encountering danger, and a lot of tools have been prepared. With the joint efforts of everyone, the stone slab above the cave entrance and the surrounding area were cleared.

Meng Zitao put away the water beads, went out from the cave with his things, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief to see that he was safe and sound.

"Zitao, don't be so reckless next time. Lu Wenle said with palpitations.

"Isn't that fine? Meng Zitao smiled: "Besides, my life is my life, isn't it someone else's? This time, it is also a loss that I go down, and if it is someone else, I can only wait to collect the body." ”

Although he was worried about Meng Zitao's safety, what he said did make sense, and whoever else present went down, unless he went down with an oxygen cylinder, he would definitely die. But then again, this hole can only barely be entered by one person, and the oxygen cylinder can't be carried out.

Meng Zitao said: "Okay, the peace has also been reported, I will go down again and bring up the following boxes of gold and silver." ”

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to this, and Lu Wenle was surprised: "Is there only a few boxes of gold and silver?"

Meng Zitao said: "Yes, in fact, this is obviously a trap, even if you don't put gold and silver, you can be fooled, maybe you want to make people feel more realistic." Oh, by the way, and this box, I just got it and haven't opened it yet, and I don't know what's inside. ”

"Let's open it first. Compared with gold and silver, Lu Wenle is much more curious about the contents of the box.

Meng Zitao took off the lock on the box and slowly opened it, and a touch of yellow appeared in his eyes, which should be something made of topaz.

Since ancient times, topaz is a precious jade species, favored by the royal family, and the utensils made with it must be precious, not to mention, the Ming Dynasty royal utensils are generally used and Khotanese jade, green jade, white jade have, with green jade in the majority, white jade is second, and topaz is rarely seen, and is generally used to make fine products.

As the box opened, the utensils inside were unobstructed, but it was a seal of a coiled dragon button.

"Baoxi, it must be Baoxi!" Lu Wenle became excited, he couldn't wait to put on his gloves, gently took Baoxi out of the box, turned it over and looked at the inscription, for "Fengtian carries the treasure of tomorrow".

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were 17 imperial treasures. They are: "Emperor Fengtian Treasure", "Emperor Treasure", "Emperor Xingbao", "Emperor Letter Treasure" and so on.

But there are unforeseen circumstances. In the first month of the ninth year of Zhengde, a fire broke out in the palace, and most of the seventeen treasures were destroyed. Therefore, in February of the 18th year of Jiajing, it was rebuilt. According to the record of "Ming Shizong Record", a total of 11 imperial treasures were made this time. There are "Fengtian Carrying the Great Treasure of the Son of Heaven", "The Treasure of the Son of Heaven", "The Treasure of the Son of Heaven", "The Treasure of the Emperor's Letter", "The Treasure of the Emperor", "The Treasure of the Ming Dynasty" and so on.

Among them, in addition to the "Treasure of the Son of Heaven", "The Treasure of the Son of Heaven", "The Treasure of the Emperor", and "The Treasure of the Emperor" are the original seventeen treasures of Hongwu, the remaining seven parties are newly added. In this way, the imperial treasure in the Shang Bao Division has a total of twenty-four squares, and it has never changed since then, and it has become customized.

The twenty-four treasures of the Ming Dynasty "have different texts, each with its own use". For example, the "treasure of the emperor to worship heaven" is used to worship heaven and earth, the "treasure of the emperor's line" is used for canonization and labor, the "treasure of the emperor's respect for relatives" is used for the number of honors, the "treasure of the edict" is used for the orders issued to the officials of the first to the fifth rank, the "treasure of the edict" is used for the orders issued to the officials of the sixth to the ninth rank, the "treasure of Guangyun" is used for rewarding the ministers, and the "treasure of respecting the heavens and diligent people" is used for the officials of the imperial pilgrimage, and so on, and so on.

However, due to the fact that the national treasure of the Ming Dynasty has undergone changes such as Li Zicheng's entry into the Forbidden City, the survivors have not been found so far. The treasure seals collected by the Palace Museum in the capital today are the same as the 24 treasures of the Ming Dynasty. Its system, texture, and size are very different from the original national treasure. Comparative study, its production when in the middle of the Ming Dynasty Chenghua.

Now, a Ming Dynasty treasure seal has been discovered, and it is also a "Fengtian Carrying the Great Tomorrow Treasure", it is strange that Lu Wenle is not excited.

For historians and archaeologists, the discovery of every treasure seal is a matter of significance. Therefore, the appearance of this treasure seal has greatly encouraged everyone, at least diluting some of the adverse effects caused by the accident that happened just now.

Lu Wenle shook his head while observing the treasure seal: "The person who hid the treasure seal is really damaged, how could he think of putting it together with the mechanism, fortunately there is Zitao, otherwise, how can this treasure seal have a chance to see the light of day again!"

"Maybe I think it's impossible to 'regain my sight'. ”

Meng Zitao smiled, he asked Lu Wenle to continue studying the treasure seal, and he tried his best to overcome public opinion, and went down again to get the box containing gold and silver. The appearance of gold and silver worth hundreds of millions of dollars has also made everyone's mood a lot more than that.

Zhang Shouping was still very dissatisfied: "It seems that there is still something wrong with the so-called treasure map." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "For ordinary people, getting these gold and silver can already eat and drink for a lifetime without worrying, in their eyes, of course, this is a genuine treasure map, besides, this treasure map is likely to be fine, the real treasure we haven't found yet." ”

"What do you say?" everyone looked at Meng Zitao, waiting for his answer.

Meng Zitao took out the treasure map and pointed to the location of the treasure marked on the treasure map: "Everyone, please see, according to the scale, is the place we found now the place shown on the map?"

Everyone looked over, thought about where they were, and found that there was a distance of dozens of meters between the two.

Zhang Shouping was very embarrassed, he was the person in charge this time, and it was really undeserved that he would make such a mistake.

Meng Zitao smiled slightly: "Team Zhang, you don't have to blame yourself, after all, we can't be sure of the authenticity of this treasure map, whether the place it marks is the place where the treasure is hidden, since you found this place first, you will definitely go down." ”

What Meng Zitao said is also human nature, but Zhang Shouping thinks that his work is not in place, but he didn't say much, but secretly remembered in his heart that he can't make such a mistake in the future.

Next, Zhang Shouping personally led the team, according to the display on the treasure map, to find out if there was another entrance, and after a while, news came that the entrance was found.

Everyone walked over and found that the entrance was not big, two-thirds larger than the hole just now, because there was camouflage at the entrance, if it weren't for the treasure map, Zhang Shouping would probably miss it if he had observed it carefully.

There is a long staircase down the entrance, but the hole below is sealed with boulders, which must be removed in order to enter.

There are professionals like Zhang Shouping, and there is also Lu Wenle, an old archaeologist, and these boulders have not stopped everyone's pace.

When you take the boulder out of the passage and go inside, there is a stone door in front of you, and there is a lock on the stone door, which has been rusted after centuries of erosion, and it is impossible to open it even if you have a key.

After violently removing the lock and pushing open the stone door, there was a stone chamber inside, but this stone chamber was much larger than the previous one, about three or four times larger.

In addition, the stone chamber is also full of chests, probably due to environmental factors and other factors, the chests here look newer than those over there.

There was a lot of space here, and there was no danger for the time being, so everyone walked into the stone room one after another.

Lu Wenle looked at the stone chambers full of rooms, his eyes lit up, a treasure seal was found in the stone chambers over there, there should be more treasures here.

"Senior brother, what are we going to do with these boxes next?" Meng Zitao asked.

Lu Wenle said: "Let's just move them out one by one and transport them to the ship, these boxes may contain ancient books, which are very inconvenient to open here, and it is very likely to cause irreparable damage." ”
