Chapter 368 'One or Two Tian Huang and One Tael of Gold'

…… Although there is only one oil lamp in the room, it is still bright when reading a book under the lamp.

However, before reading the book, Liu Dong first took out the white jade shanzi that he bought for 50,000 yuan when he was in Shahe.

The base of this white jade mountain is mahogany, which is not bad, but the jade quality is too poor.

After taking the jade mountain from the base, Liu Dong turned the jade over, then turned the bottom side over, and then took out a sharp carving knife from the mustard seed space, and then looked at a place and slowly cut it.

Soon a thin piece of jade with a thickness of about half a centimeter was cut off by Liu Dong, and then he picked up the jade mountain and gently swallowed it in his hand, and then saw a piece of Tianhuangshi with a length of fifteen centimeters, a width and a height of about eight centimeters, and a slightly uneven surface appeared in Liu Dong's hand.

Looking at this piece of Tian Huang Stone, Liu Dong happily held it in his hand, and then the light looked up and down carefully, the material of this Tian Huang Stone is not the top frozen bottom Tian Huang, but the same precious 'silver wrapped in gold', silver wrapped in gold Tian Huang is like a fresh egg that has been shelled, and the appearance has a layer of light-colored white skin, which is bright and bright, and it is very precious.

After taking this precious silver-wrapped gold Tianhuang stone in his hand and gently shaking it, Liu Dong estimated that this thing weighed at least five catties, that is to say, more than 2,500 grams, although everyone knew that 'one or two Tianhuang and one or two gold', but that was the most ordinary Tianhuangshi, the real best Tianhuang, one gram is hundreds of times that of gold. And this piece in Liu Dong's hand is tens of millions larger according to the current market price.

The real value does not have to be a Qing dynasty three generations of imperial kilns with low prices.

However, Liu Dong was not ready to sell this thing, such a large piece of silver wrapped in Jintian Huangshi. It is really the supreme treasure of making zuò seal stones. Liu Dong does not have his own seal yet. And this piece of superb Tianhuang is the best material.

"However, such a good thing must be carved by the best printing master!" Liu Dong said secretly in his heart.

If you really want to talk about it, he can engrave it himself, but he has a specialization in the art industry, and although his jade carving skills are at the peak of the younger generation, few people can compare. However, he is still at the level of a craftsman, not a real master, and if he is allowed to carve it himself, I am afraid that he will really be blind to such a good material.

However, the matter of making the seal will be talked about later, and the most important thing now is to find the treasure of King Zhuang that Uncle Li hid. And, if possible, Liu Dong also wanted to take a look at the situation of King Zhuang's mausoleum.

After sorting out the chaotic thoughts, after putting the Yushanzi and Tian Huangshi in his hand into the mustard seed space, Liu Dong took out the German textbook that he hadn't finished reading before.

Afterwards, the whole room fell silent. In addition to the frequent sound of flipping books, the faint light of the oil lamp is always accompanied by Liu Dong's figure swaying.

Liu Dong kept reading until the second half of the night. before lying on the bed to rest. Then I opened my eyes at five o'clock in the morning, and then came to the courtyard, stood on the pile and practiced, and then swallowed and breathed.

I don't know if it's because it's far away from the world, the air is fresh, and the aura in the mountains is strong, in short, after Liu Dong felt that he had reached the peak of dark energy, he didn't make any progress, and there were further signs. It was an unexpected surprise for him.

"Liu Dong, are you practicing?" Looking at Liu Dong, who was sitting cross-legged in the yard, Liu Lao, who happened to go out to exercise, couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw it.

"Hehe, yes, Liu Lao! This is a set of breathing and breathing methods that I learned from the monks in the temple when I was a child, which I used to strengthen my body. What's the matter, you're old and it's also a workout? At this time, Liu Dong couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at Old Man Liu with a short fight and a sword in his hand.

Noticing Liu Dong's eyes, the old man smiled and said, "Yes, I've been practicing all my life!" ”

Then, I saw the old man come to the courtyard, draw his sword out of the sheath, the whole person looked solemn, and then slowly exercised in the courtyard.

"Tai Chi Sword!" Liu Dong said secretly in his heart. Of course, compared with Liu Dong's Bajiquan and Mantis Boxing used in actual combat, as well as the internal skills used to practice qi, Liu Lao's set of Taiji swords is just a routine for exercise.

After the old man finished practicing the sword, Liu Fang also happened to come over, and soon made breakfast for the two of them, noodles, bean skin, and porridge.

After breakfast, Liu Dong went out with his sketchpad easel on his back.

In the first few days, Liu Dong did not plan to go all over the mountains to find the treasure of King Zhuang stolen by Uncle Li, but really carried an easel on his back and painted in the village.

The figures, houses, mountains and trees in the distance, under a few pencils of Liu Dong, are presented on the paper with a real and artistic sense.

For three days, Liu Dong drew no less than ten sketches around the entire village, and at this time, people's enthusiasm for watching him paint gradually faded. Only the children who still coveted the candy and snacks in his pocket were still around Liu Dong all the time.

In the past three days, Liu Dong took the opportunity to chat with people to find out the situation in this village.

The reason why this village is called Guan Jiachong is because more than 80% of the villagers here are Guan, and they think that they are the descendants of Guan Yu, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms.

However, they basically have an impression of Uncle Li and the villagers here, and they are connected with Uncle Li and others, as well as a person named Guan Liu in this village.

From the mouths of the villagers, Liu Dong learned that this person named Guan Liu was a ruffian in Guanjia Village, stealing chickens and dogs all day long, but just more than three years ago, Guan Liu's whereabouts suddenly became secret, and there were many strangers around Guan Liu's home.

However, after more than three years, nothing unusual happened in the village, and people have basically become accustomed to these people from other villages who often go in and out of the six houses.

Until three months ago, after Guan Liu mysteriously disappeared and all the strangers in his family disappeared, the villagers talked about it for a while, but now no one cares.

Once, Liu Dong took the opportunity of painting to inspect Guan Liu's home with relics and yuanguang, and he really noticed something abnormal at a glance.

Because in his home, Liu Dong saw the Luoyang shovel, a tool often used in tomb robberies and archaeological excavations. There were also some wire ropes, and even a walk-behind tractor in the yard, but looking at the tractor's worn tires, you know that they were once overused and left here for damage.

Moreover, in Guan Liu's home, Liu Dong also found a large number of empty wine bottles, and five decomposed bodies of Yan Zòng were buried two or three meters deep in the courtyard. Obviously, they were supposed to belong to Uncle Li's tomb robbery gang, but after being killed for unknown reasons, their bodies were buried under the courtyard.

In addition to these clues, Liu Dong has not found anything else, but it is very good to have these. At least it proves that he is not looking for the wrong place, this is indeed the place where Uncle Li robbed the tomb and hid the treasure.

Moreover, the reign of King Zhuang of Chu was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the bronzes at that time, especially the Ding, were all tens of kilograms, or even hundreds of kilograms.

Moreover, judging from Liu Dong's acquisition of the 'Chaoguo Dading' and the 'Zongguo Dading', Uncle Li and the others did not choose to steal small pieces of gold and silverware, jade and smaller bronzes that were easy to take away, and smashed the larger bells and shengding to sell copper, but chose to steal all the large and small bronzes in the tomb. And for this result, Uncle Li and they did not hesitate to spend three years here.

"But where the hell is the thing?" With this question in mind, on the fourth day, Liu Dong began to go out of the village and search the surrounding low hills.

From the bronzes that have been in hand, Liu Dong can understand that the bronze burial goods, jade, lacquered wood, gold and silverware, bone tools, teeth, horn ware, etc. in the tomb of King Zhuang must be extremely rich, and small places cannot be placed.

Then there is only one place left where zài can be stored - the cave!

Only in these natural spaces can they hide the treasures in the tomb that King Chuzhuang spent 23 years building.

So Liu Dong's goal is very certain.

However, even if the goal of the cave is clear, it is not too easy to find it, and there are many caves near Guanjiachong, and it is even more difficult to find them one by one.

"If only we could find the tomb of King Zhuang first!" Liu Dong stood on a small hillside and looked into the distance, thinking to himself in his heart.

For the tomb forms of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Liu Dong has learned a lot during this time. Generally, the tombs of the princes of this period are sealed earth tombs, and the most typical representative is the first emperor-mausoleum, which is as high as 120 meters, which is really the same as a hill. However, after more than 2,000 years of erosion, many of the sealed soil has been washed away by water. Liu Dong didn't know what the situation was like the sealing of King Chuzhuang's tomb now, so it was too difficult to find the mausoleum.

Fortunately, the tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were not the form of digging mountains for tombs in the Han and Tang dynasties, otherwise he would be completely blind, and there are really not too many mountains here.

After carefully analyzing the possible location of King Zhuang's tomb and the place where Uncle Li hid his treasure, Liu Dong also had a goal, and began to carry his sketchpad around the surrounding fields and mountains, as well as the nearby hills. (To be continued......)
