Chapter 483: A Huge Fortune

And compared with Loulan, the rule of Kangju has lasted for more than 500 years, and the scope of its reign is even wider than the current Xin*jiang in its heyday, plus Central Asia has been rich in gold since ancient times, so Ye Xiang can already imagine that if nothing else, the Kangju royal tomb discovered by accident this time will allow him to obtain extremely rich returns.

Bypass the stele from the left side and come to the back of the stele. It is still depicted with dense ancient Lu scripts, and these ancient Lu scripts record the origin of the Kangju people and the major events that have happened in the history of the Kangju people!

It is less than a thousand words, but it covers the history of the Kangju people for nearly 500 years, and it is obvious that this Kangju royal tomb will be opened often during the hundreds of years of Kangju's existence!

Opposite the back of the stele are two white marble doors with a width of four meters and a height of two and a half meters, the pattern on the stone door, Ye Xiang is not unfamiliar at all, and the five-clawed dragon pattern of the relief is completely a symbol of imperial power in Chinese culture.

Obviously, Kangju's culture has also been influenced by Chinese culture.

Walking forward to push the stone gate, as expected, although the stone gate is heavy and cannot be pushed by one person, it is not like in the Chinese tombs There are still running stones behind the door!

The reason for this is obviously also to allow future generations to enter it.

Of course, this descendant is not a tomb robber, but a descendant of the Kangju royal family!

"Squeak, squeak, squeak......"

With a piercing grinding sound, Ye Xiang forcefully pushed open half of the two heavy stone doors with a thickness of nearly 10 centimeters.

Not surprisingly, another wide passage appeared in front of me.

Compared to the passage that Ye wanted to enter from the gargoyle before, this passage was even wider, at least four meters, and the polishing was smoother and smoother.

After walking forward for about 20 meters in the silent stone path, an even larger stone cave appeared under the strong flashlight, but Ye Xiang didn't think that this was still a stone cave, this was a gorgeous palace, the difference was only that it was underground.

The palace, which is about 6 meters high, is topped with elaborate reliefs and surrounded by brightly colored frescoes on the walls.

But what is more eye-catching than the mural is that this underground stone hall covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters can almost be said to be a mountain of gold and jade, gold and jade, which is the most famous specialty of Central Asia, and today it has been best interpreted here, all kinds of gold jewelry, gold collars, gold ornaments, and even gold nuggets, as well as various shapes of Hetian jade and Afghan jade made of jade are stacked around the main hall.

Originally, they should have been stored in the wooden box, but now after the wooden box decays, scattered gold and silver jewelry, tooth and horn bone carvings, jade corals, bronze faience and other dazzling precious things cover most of the stone hall!

Of course, in addition to gold and jade, there are fewer other precious things!

However, in addition to the eye-catching gold jewelry, the most conspicuous thing in the aisle when Ye Xiang came in was the white marble spirit tent placed in the center of the main hall, which was completely shaped like the Han Buddhist spirit tent, but the height reached the top of the cave, no less than six meters.

And in this six-meter-high, five-meter-long, and three-meter-wide spiritual tent, the dense spiritual position was slowed down.

Ye Xiang simply counted, no more, no less, exactly fifty-eight! That is to say, in the 500-year history of Kangju Kingdom, there have been fifty-eight kings!

On the left and right sides of the spiritual tent, above the main hall, there are two huge golden lions with powerful shapes, although most of the ancient gold is impure, but these two golden lions are twice as large as African male lions, each weighing no less than 10 tons!

The worship of lions is clearly influenced by Greco-Roman culture, and it is not surprising that Kangju is located at the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures.

At the beginning of Alexander's crusade, Greek culture also influenced Central Asia!

Therefore, next to the two golden lions, the two three-meter-tall golden warriors holding spears also wore the common cuirasses of Greek warriors, but without the ridiculous helmets like cockscombs!

In addition to these four golden statues, there is also a huge gold case about 150 centimeters high, 80 centimeters wide, and the same length as the spiritual tent in front of the huge white marble spirit tent.

On the long gold table are three gold trays with a diameter of more than 60 centimeters, which are delicately shaped and surrounded by relief animal motifs, inlaid with various ruby sapphires, tortoiseshells and emeralds, and on these three trays are white bones that have almost decayed to ashes.

Of course, it is not a human bone, but a bone like a cow, a horse or a sheep, and a skull.

Seeing the furnishings in front of him, after looking at the contents of the surrounding murals, Ye Xiang seemed to have traveled through thousands of years to see the Kangju people who put down three animals when they sacrificed their ancestors, and then put the gold, silver and jade and other tributes they brought aside, and then withdrew from the tomb after holding a grand sacrifice ceremony!

And as time went on, the gold and jewels in this hall also accumulated more and more, so that Ye Xiang saw the mountain of scenery now.

It is easy to get rich in business, and the amount of gold and silver in the treasure house of the Kangju people, who have guarded the Silk Road for more than 500 years, is much more than the amount of gold and silver that Ye Xiang saw in his tomb robbery notes.

Moreover, in this tomb of the Kangju royal family, there are the most various gold and silver objects. The gold coins after BC, including ancient Greek gold coins, ancient Roman gold coins, and gold cakes in the Han Dynasty, are less horseshoe gold!

Even less gold and silver, which can only be used as a general equivalent.

But even if it is less, Ye Xiang estimated that it would not be less than fifty tons!

This estimate frightened Ye Xiang himself, the wealth that the Kangju royal family has monopolized on the Silk Road for more than 500 years is too strong!

But after the surprise is a great satisfaction, these things will be his!

Ye Xiang was also a little surprised to see these gold and silver, these kings really deserve to be the lords of a country, and the wealth collected is really enough.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Xiang collected these gold and silver treasures into the Nine Dragons Space Li Man, and then bypassed the white marble spirit tent and entered the passage leading to the deeper part of the tomb at the back.

However, before entering the passage, there is a huge white marble stone gate, the stone door is embossed with exquisite three-headed lion ornaments, and there are two bronze statues of human heads and lions with a height of nearly 3 meters on both sides of the stone gate, arching and guarding the stone gate!

Ye Xiang was amazed by the brilliant civilization of the Kangju people more than 1,600 years ago, and even more sighed at the fact that the information handed down from the Kangju country with a history of more than 500 years to this day is really pitiful!

The civilization created in more than 500 years has almost completely disappeared in the dust of history, so that not even the name of a single king has been handed down in history.
