ps: Today's second shift, Tanabata does not go out, and still lives in code words, which is very powerful. Rainbow Net, with you all the way! How many monthly passes, let's smash it down, ask for support.

"More than a hundred years of ancient temples......" Qi Xiang's eyes showed interest: "Then between the temples, it must be not only Mexican Yinyang, there must be something else." ”

"That's right."

Under Qi Xiang's reminder, the middle-aged man immediately reflected and shouted loudly: "Don't look at the excitement, go and continue digging to see if there is anything left." ”

With the harvest, it is a good start. A group of young men were also very excited, and immediately picked up the hoe and shovel, and they were about to take action.

"Wait......" Qi Xiang suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him.

"What's wrong?" The middle-aged man was a little puzzled: "Little brother, is there something?" ”

"It's fine." Qi Xiang smiled: "I just want to say, in fact, there are certain tricks to digging these things, and there is no need to search aimlessly, which is very inefficient." ”

"What?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and immediately smiled: "Little brother, when I heard you say this, do you know some doorways?" ”

"I know a little bit." Qi Xiang admitted: "After all, I have been digging the house for a long time, and I have accumulated some experience. The ancients, there were only a few places to hide things. Especially in the temple ancestral hall, where the things are hidden, it is very particular, there are many taboos, and they cannot be placed casually, so as not to collide with the gods. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, we must pay attention to it, and we must pay attention to it." The middle-aged man thought so, and then said with a smile: "Little brother, can you give us some advice?" ”

"No problem!" Qi Xiang readily agreed, and then walked to the side of the half-collapsed ruined temple, pointed to the roof beams and said: "You don't care about those bricks and tiles for now, the top priority is to drag the beams out and get between the cracks." There should be something. ”

The middle-aged man seemed to be surprised and suspicious, but his mouth was not slow, and he called, "Come on a few." Take a hand. ”

He personally went out and uncovered some of the tiles. Then, together with a few young men, he carefully moved out the thick beam and placed it in a flat clearing.

Where it joins the beams, there are also planks nailed to them. As soon as the main beam moved, the planks tilted, and then everyone heard a few ding-dong sounds, as if something had fallen and smashed on the bricks.

Someone leaned over to take a look. Immediately overjoyed: "Copper coins are copper coins with holes." ”

"Pick it up quickly......" The middle-aged man immediately grinned when he heard it. His insight is not bad, and he naturally knows that the value of some copper coins is definitely far above the ocean.

While a group of villagers were busy picking up copper coins, Qi Xiang's attention was focused on this beam.

After he took a closer look, he found that the surface of the main beam wood was black and scorched, which should be the result of being smoked by incense all year round. It is also thanks to this that there is no trace of moth-eaten decay of the beams.

"I don't know what kind of tree this is...... Qi Xiang looked sideways, but the dust covering the beams was too thick. You can't see the wood grain at all, and it's hard to judge.

"Village chief, this money doesn't seem right."

All of a sudden. Some villagers shouted: "It's strange money, it's abnormal." ”

"What?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was naturally stunned, and hurriedly walked over to watch: "What's abnormal?" ”

"Village chief, see for yourself."

A villager handed over a copper coin and gestured by the way: "Here, and here, the text is wrong." The ornamentation is even stranger. ”

As a citizen of the Divine Capital, the villagers' knowledge is not bad. At least there are some basic understandings of some copper coins of various dynasties. He compared. I found the clues.

Generally speaking, normal copper coins, or common copper coins for the public, have obvious characteristics, that is, a certain Tongbao, or a certain heavy treasure, or a certain ingot.

Anyway, it is named according to the era name of the emperors of the past dynasties, what Kangxi Tongbao, Qianlong Tongbao and other copper coins, I am afraid it is already familiar.

But now, the middle-aged man looked down and found that the copper coin in his hand was not a treasure, but a bare back without words, a star and moon decoration on the other, and a four-character yang inscription.

"Abundant wealth?"

The middle-aged man discerned the words and said thoughtfully: "Could it be that this is spending money?" ”

The so-called money is similar to modern commemorative coins, but it is only minted in the style of money, and in fact does not have the function of circulation. Spending money is an important branch of ancient coins, which can be divided into several categories according to their uses, namely palace money, auspicious language, religion, games, and special purposes.

The money in the hands of middle-aged people should belong to the auspicious language type of money.

"That's a good thing."

The middle-aged man, as the village head, is also a lot more knowledgeable, and suddenly smiled and said: "This kind of money is more valuable than coins like Tongbao." ”

"Really?" A few villagers were somewhat skeptical.

“…… Forget it, I won't tell you. ”

Seeing that someone questioned himself, the middle-aged man was a little unhappy, and turned around to greet Qi Xiang: "Little brother, you are an expert in this area, tell them, what I said is right." ”

Qi Xiang walked over and asked curiously, "What's right, isn't it?" ”

"Look, is this costing money?" The middle-aged man handed the things over.

Qi Xiang glanced at it, then nodded and said: "It's a cost, but to be precise, this should be called temple money, or offering money, incense money, and it can also be classified as spending money." ”

"Temple money? Incense money? The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment: "There is still this statement?" ”

"Yes." Qi Xiang immediately smiled and said: "This kind of coin is actually a Ruiwu. The ancient emperor believed in Buddhism and Taoism, and in order to express the meaning of offering, he specially asked people to mint a batch of gold coins and enshrined them in the Buddhist temple and Taoism. ”

"The so-called upward and downward effect, the emperor opened this head, and the people naturally followed suit. Gold coins can't be minted, but copper coins are still competent. ”

Qi Xiang explained: "Over time, this has formed a trend. As soon as a new temple was erected, the people spontaneously cast it in the temple to pray for the protection of the gods. ”

However, as time passed, most of the incense money was scattered. The remaining ones, sandwiched between the corners of the roof beams, are not so much temple money as feng shui disgust. ”

Qi Xiang smiled: "If you screen carefully, you will definitely be able to find out." In addition to these coins, there are also bronze coins such as protectors, apparitions, and prayers. ”

At Qi Xiang's prompting, several villagers hurriedly rummaged through the copper coins.

"The village chief. There really is. ”

Instantly, a villager grinned, "Look. There are two words here. ”

“…… Harvest of grains! ”

"The wind and rain are smooth......"

"Live and work in peace!"

Others also made discoveries at the same time, confirming that Qi Xiang was not wrong, this was indeed temple money.

"Good good ......"

The middle-aged man smiled, waved his big hand and said: "Put it away, this money can't be sold, go back and wait until the new temple is repaired, and then put it back as it is." ”

"Wow!"

When Qi Xiang heard this, he was suddenly a little surprised and surprised. Unexpectedly, this middle-aged man was even smarter than he imagined. You must know that these temple money, after a hundred years of incense offerings, have somewhat condensed some incense wishes.

In other words, these coins also belong to the flow of feng shui ritual instruments, which have the effect of deterring ghosts and gods.

If the middle-aged man is willing to make a move, Qi Xiang doesn't mind taking it all. It's just that the middle-aged man's insight is not shallow, and he realized that these incense money were good things, and immediately set the tone.

Some young villagers. I definitely don't understand it very much, but a group of old people in the village are in favor of the middle-aged man's decision.

"Hey. There are still many smart people in the world, but there are really few bears and blind sheep. ”

Qi Xiang shook his head slightly, and then watched the middle-aged man put on the majesty of the village chief, and suppressed a group of young villagers in three or two clicks, and let them continue to clean up the broken temple.

"Little brother, where do you need to look next?" The middle-aged man asked with a shy smile, Qi Xiang had a harvest as soon as he made a move, this is a master with real skills. Be sure to ask for advice in a timely manner.

"Next...... Qi Xiang's eyes turned and fell on the broken temple: "Tear down the wall." Don't use brute force, go from top to bottom. Take apart the bricks one by one and see if there are any mezzanines, empty bricks, cellars, etc. ”

"Walls, empty bricks, cellars!"

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up again, and he shouted without hesitation: "Let's do it, clean up the tiles, and then tear down the wall." ”

In ancient China, due to the lack of banks, even if there were money banks similar to the origin of banks in the later period, the credibility of the money banks was also very doubtful. Therefore, when the ancients became rich, they generally liked to buy fields or keep gold and silver treasures at home.

As for how to hide money, I am also very particular.

However, everything remains the same, no matter how wide the house is built, there are only a few ways to hide money. Sandwich walls, empty bricks, cellars, this is the necessary storage room of the ancient landlords and gentry.

Of course, Qi Xiang is not sure that there must be a similar hidden space in this ancient temple. But it never hurts to explore, does it?

A group of villagers were busy in full swing, and Qi Xiang stood by and watched, and he was also a little looking forward to it. The broken tiles and wood chips were quickly cleaned up by the villagers, followed by the brick-mortar walls.

More than a dozen young and strong villagers worked together, and the demolition must be faster than the construction. In the blink of an eye, a wall has been torn down, but nothing has been found.

However, everyone did not give up and continued to dismantle. After all, a temple, although the structure is not complicated, has three or four rooms, and a small courtyard. The walls are stacked on top of each other, and there are more than a dozen of them.

It's just a wall that has been demolished, so there's no need to rush......

When the temple wall was half demolished, a villager suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Village chief, there is a discovery, and there is a discovery." ”

"What did you find?"

In an instant, everyone left what they were doing and quickly surrounded them.

"This brick is empty, there is an empty brick!"

The villager was so excited that he immediately picked up a small hammer in his hand and gently struck a piece of masonry on the wall. In an instant, the echo of tuk tuk tuk reached the ears of everyone.

"Sure enough, it's empty......," the middle-aged man said happily, "Quickly dismantle it and see what's inside." ”

"Bang!"

Others directly started to smash the empty bricks easily, and then they saw it...... (To be continued)
