Chapter 16 Ruins of the Ancient Arsenal

"The book says that there are no ghosts in this world." Zeng Rong thought in his heart, curiosity finally defeated the terrifying thought, and controlled Heibao's body to swim down.

As long as it is not that kind of demon god and monster, Zeng Rong believes that even if he can't fight against any species, Heibao will definitely be able to escape.

When he arrived in the cave, Heibao quickly discovered that this was a passage, and the posture of these skeletons was also quite special, with their heads all facing one direction.

Following this direction, Heibao continued to move forward, and along the way, skeletons appeared from time to time, and he walked two or three hundred meters away, and finally found the entrance to the cave.

The entrance of the cave was sealed by several huge stones, and there were more than a dozen skeletons lying on the entrance of the cave, it seemed that these skeletons wanted to escape from the cave, but the entrance of the cave was sealed, so they could only die in the cave.

Turning around, Black Treasure headed towards the cave.

This time, Heibao carefully found that some skeletons had arrows hanging on their skeletons, and some skeleton bones obviously showed signs of being cut off, obviously, these were signs of human killing.

The cave stretched for more than five hundred meters, and a huge space suddenly appeared in front of you. The space is clearly excavated by hand, and there are traces of artificiality everywhere.

This space is the size of two football fields, the ground is more than 20 meters high from the top of the cave, and there are four or five thick stone pillars erected in the huge cave.

Originally, these pillars were part of the mountain, but the excavation of this huge cave deliberately left these pillars as the pillars to support this space.

There are more skeletons in it, and Heibao roughly estimated in his heart that there are no less than two hundred skeletons in it. Many of the skeletons were still wearing iron armor.

Obviously, this is a site left over from the Cold Weapon Era, bows and arrows, iron armor, and spears and knives scattered on the ground, all of which show that this is a remnant of the Cold Weapon Era of Chinese feudalism.

In this huge space, more than thirty large bellows were erected, each bellows was connected to a furnace, on which were erected ceramic containers, and under the containers a tubular thing was connected to a pool.

Next to this pool, there are all kinds of molds, which are easy to distinguish, they are all molds for making weapons and armor.

Black Treasure surrounded one of the bellows and stoves, relying on his sensitivity to metal, and immediately knew that there was a lot of iron in the ceramic vessels and pools.

It seems that these thirty or so bellows represent more than thirty groups of handicraft workshops for refining weapons and armor.

Zeng Rong was immediately sure that this was the site of an ancient arsenal, an arsenal built by a certain force in the middle of the mountains, providing weapons and armor for his troops.

Wandering around this huge space, Black Treasure soon made new discoveries.

Several small rooms have been carved out of the stone walls of this huge cave.

One room was filled with refined weapons and armor, and one room was a kitchen-like place that provided three meals a day for the staff of the arsenal.

What caught Heibao's attention were two other small rooms that had been carved out.

In one of the rooms, as soon as I entered the black BMW, I smelled a strong, extremely tempting smell, and the black BMW was able to confirm that this was the smell of gold!

There was also a set of smelting tools in this room, but the smell of gold emanated from the container, and Zeng Rong immediately understood that this room was a place dedicated to smelting gold.

Climbing onto the container on the stove, the small half furnace of golden solids was lying quietly inside, and through Heibao's nose, Zeng Rong immediately judged that the gold ore in this furnace had been smelted to a purity of fifty or sixty percent, that is to say, half of those golden solids were actually gold.

Seeing the situation inside, Zeng Rong was excited, this furnace is like a big vat, and the golden yellow solid matter in it is at least a hundred catties, if the gold in it can be extracted, then at least fifty catties of gold can be extracted! That's nearly 10 million dollars!

It's another windfall, no wonder the ancients said, people are not rich without windfalls, this really didn't lie to me, Zeng Rong thought in his heart, and what was reflected in Heibao was that Heibao looked up to the sky, looking like he wanted to look up to the sky and shout.

The last room was a little strange, this house carved out of the stone wall actually pressed an iron door and slipped into this house, but inside it was a neat bedroom.

There are wooden beds, tables, chairs, and a few thread-bound books on the table.

Hei Bao climbed onto the table, and a book that had been opened was densely written in traditional characters.

Wanting to see what the title of the book was, the black treasure tail swept over the book, and a strange scene appeared.

The place where the tail swept was like sweeping on a pile of ashes, and the book was immediately destroyed, and the place that had not been touched was still the appearance of the complete book, but the place where the black treasure tail had moved became a pile of ashes.

The book had been left in the air for too long, and without any protection, it had already been charred into ashes. However, in this sealed cave, there is no external force, so it remains the original appearance, and now after the black treasure moves, immediately, the passive place will reveal the carbonized appearance.

When I looked up, I saw a poem written on the stone wall.

Although it was written in traditional Chinese, Zeng Rong was still recognizable.

On the wall is written:

The wind is from the dragon, the cloud is from the tiger, and the dust and earth are famous.

Looking at Shenzhou, the people are bitter, and thousands of miles of fertile land are barren.

Look at the world, as much as you want, and make up for the defects of heaven.

Good boy, don't be a parent, just for the common people, not for the lord.

Holding a steel knife of ninety-nine, he killed Hu Er before stopping.

I am a dignified man, what is a Tartar as a horse and a cow.

The strong man drank the wine in the bowl and did not look back on the journey of a thousand miles.

The golden drums roared in unison, and the yellow dragon swore endlessly.

The final payment is the five words of Xu Shouhui at the end of the day.

Seeing the three words Xu Shouhui, Zeng Rong's mind lit up, this Xu Shouhui was Xu Shouhui, the leader of the Red Turban Army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the rule was dark, and there were peasant rebels everywhere, and it was the Red Turban Army led by Xu Shouhui who was active in the areas of Jiangnan, Jiangbeibei, and Huxi! Zeng Rong remembered seeing the poem just now in a certain novel, and this poem was the military song of the Red Turban Army!

Thinking of what he saw all the way in the cave, Zeng Rong immediately understood that Xu Shouhui must have discovered the gold ore here, sent people to smelt, and dug a huge cave in the process of smelting, and then directly established an arsenal here. Become a secret stronghold of Xu Shouhui.

Linji County, which belongs to what is now Hubei Province, is not far from Xu Shouhui's hometown, which should be the center of Xu Shouhui's activities.

It is not surprising that the smelting gold mine left by Xu Shouhui appeared here, and the ruins of refining weapons and armor.

Hey, the real name of the place just appeared, it was locked, so I had to send it again, and I got up at four o'clock in the morning today, tired! Sleepy! I still wrote three chapters hard, this is the third chapter, look at the hard work of Shanshan, vote for it, beg, ask for recommendation votes!!
