Chapter 1061: Exploring the Bottom of the Sea [7]
Picking up the silver coin on the ground, Liu Yuhao thought it was still an ancient Egyptian object, so he didn't pay attention to it and looked at it casually and was about to throw it away, but just as the hand he took the silver coin drew an arc in the air, the smile on his face slowly solidified.
"Cat, silver owl?"
Liu Yuhao thought that he was dazzled, and once again put the silver coin in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully, and finally determined that what he was holding in his hand was not the ancient Egyptian currency, but the ancient Greek owl silver coin that represented the entire ancient civilization of the Mediterranean.
Greece is recognized worldwide as the birthplace of European civilization.
In the thirties of the fourth century BC, the rise of the Greek Macedonian Empire, the famous Alexander the Great eliminated the Persian Achaemenian Dynasty, and then launched a series of eastward crusades, a large number of Greeks flowed into Central Asia, which led to the eastward spread of ancient Greco-Roman culture and the Hellenization of Bactria.
In order to meet the needs of commercial trade and circulation, the kings of all dynasties have made a large number of coins, the material is gold, silver, copper, gold and copper coins are few, and the vast majority of them are silver coins.
Among them, the owl silver coin, which represents the most complete and colorful of that period, and is based on myths and legends, is the most ancient Greek silver coin.
Most of the gods in Chinese mythology and mythology are expressions of feudal ideology and etiquette concepts, talking about the official eunuchs, the retribution of good and evil, and the persuasion of self-denial and abstinence, and the retribution of good deeds. Evil must be evil, and good must be good, which is immutable in nature.
Greek mythology, on the other hand, is nothing else.
Ancient Greek mythology deduces that the Greeks were thoughtful, passionate, youthful, strong, and the spirit and the flesh are the same. The Greeks loved beauty, loved strength, loved bravery, loved literature and art, loved liveliness, loved excitement, loved music, loved bravery, and loved group life, the owl was the perfect existence of all the combinations in the minds of the ancient Greeks, and was a vigorous, wise, and invincible warrior.
Alexander the Great, having created the most glorious history of ancient Greece, ordered his country to mint a batch of silver coins featuring the goddess Athena on the obverse and an owl representing the emblem of the city-state of Athena on the verso.
What god is Athena?
It's the god of war!
What was the owl in the hearts of the ancient Greeks?
A brave and fearless warrior!
Liu Yuhao looked carefully at the silver coin in his hand, did not let go of any detail, there were bows and arrows on both sides of the silver coin, and it was beneficial to see that Alexander the Great used silver coins as a weapon of the country, declaring the kind of invincible militarism that he longed for in his heart.
It can be said unceremoniously that the silver coin in Liu Yuhao's hand symbolizes the most glorious period of ancient Greece's history and the incomparable ambition of Alexander the Great
If Liu Yuhao remembers correctly, there was once an owl silver coin that sold for a sky-high price of 1.8 million euros at an autumn auction at Christie's five years ago, equivalent to nearly 18 million RMB.
Liu Yuhao was really stunned, and looked at the silver coins that covered the entire ground for a long time.
"Damn, how much will it cost if I ship all these silver coins out?"
Anyway, Liu Yuhao couldn't count how many silver coins were under his feet, and it seemed that the number of owl silver coins was definitely more than what he saw now, and there were at least five or six boxes of the same silver coins in the twenty or thirty large boxes next to him.
The sheer number of those silver coins is definitely a staggering number.
Not to mention Liu Yuhao, no matter who sees those silver coins, his jaw will be dislocated in shock, and his eyes will be round.
Splashing heaven and wealth suddenly came from the sky, Liu Yuhao seemed a little caught off guard, if it weren't for the fact that he himself had earth-shattering wealth, he would be afraid that he would have been scared stupid.
Just imagine, twenty or thirty large boxes are full of real money and silver, not to mention that those are treasures themselves, even if they are exchanged for gold and silver, they weigh more than ten tons, so much money is in front of them, and there is definitely something wrong with the brain that is not stunned.
But the surprise in his heart didn't last long, after all, Liu Yuhao had only hacked Wu Lingbai's five tons of silver not long ago, and he was indeed not very interested in those smelly metals.
The mysterious and cold aura that always permeated the surroundings was the main target he was looking for today.
After observing the situation in the treasure room for a while, Liu Yuhao's attention was quickly attracted by the dozens of clay pots in the innermost part, and in the dark, Liu Yuhao seemed to sense that the mysterious cold aura came from that corner.
"There are still smart people who know how to use clay pots to preserve things."
Liu Yuhao was too lazy to use his ability to see what treasures were in the clay pot, but directly used the Xuanyuan Sword to gently pick open the seal of the can.
The clay pots covered with cracks are themselves one of the thousand-year-old relics, and Liu Yuhao would never have smashed them directly.
However, those containers were much stronger than Liu Yuhao imagined, and they were still intact after more than a thousand years of precipitation, as if they were telling Liu Yuhao about the glorious history of their ancient civilizations in that period.
Of course, there is another advantage to using the Xuanyuan Sword to open the seal of the clay pot, that is, in case of any unpredictable situation, the position where Liu Yuhao is standing will not be harmed.
You know, the long-lost Maoshan spells will appear in this ghost place, who knows if there are other cats in the clay pot?
Be careful to sail a 10,000-year-old boat!
"Cut, why is it gold and silver jewelry, and you will come back with something else that doesn't know how to open the door?"
This time, Liu Yuhao was even more "disgusted" and pouted in disappointment.
After opening the clay pot, Liu Yuhao looked inside, and there was no mysterious atmosphere in his heart, but all kinds of earrings, corsages, rings, gold, various gem inlays, and exquisite memorial utensils.
But it's a pity that because the castle finally sank to the bottom of the sea, all the gold and silver jewelry that has not undergone special protection has been corroded beyond recognition by the seawater, and it took a lot of effort for Liu Yuhao to vaguely identify that some of the utensils are engraved with the goddess of victory - the goddess of Victoria in Rome and other legendary foreign gods.
Liu Yuhao shook his head in disappointment, frowning slightly and looking around, as if the gold products in front of him that could be piled up like a mountain could not arouse his interest at all.
Of course, if he can't find the source of the mysterious aura that Liu Yuhao has in mind in the end, he will still ship these treasures out, just take a little more time.
Suddenly, Liu Yuhao's eyes narrowed.
There are several packages made of animal skins behind the rows of clay pots, just now because there are too many clay pots, Liu Yuhao didn't pay attention, and now all the clay pots have been removed by him, and the animal skin bags have naturally appeared in front of him.
"This is the last thing."
Liu Yuhao silently prayed for himself in his heart before walking towards the packages.
Cowhide, deerskin, leopard skin
Each package is made of different animal skins, although it has been more than a thousand years, it is still resilient, Liu Yuhao pulled it with his hand and did not break it apart.
"Zla!"
Liu Yuhao added a little strength in his hand and tore open the nearest package.
It's not that Liu Yuhao has any violent tendencies, but that he has been in the water for a long time, and if he doesn't go up again, he must have been impatient to wait.
There are so many unsolvable mysteries in this strange underwater castle, and Liu Yuhao doesn't want his friends to come here to meet any accidents because they want to find themselves.
"What's, what is this?"
Suddenly, Liu Yuhao's eyes widened, and he refused to take his eyes off anymore, looking at the object that emerged from the corner of the package stupidly and couldn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, Liu Yuhao stretched out his hand that trembled slightly because of excitement and took out the first artifact.
"This is the Taoist Dharma Seal!"
Not to mention how shocked Liu Yuhao's heart was, just looking at his slightly dull gaze, you could guess how complicated the thoughts in his heart were now.
The Dharma seal is the official seal of Taoism to reach the heavenly court, and it is also a Dharma object that exercises divine power. "Dong Xuan Jing" cloud, "Where the law is sealed, the charm and evil perish." ”
Generally, there are three types of seals: wooden, copper, or jade. The printed surface is engraved with words with Taoist meanings, and some are even engraved with completely stylized patterns, and the seal buttons are generally lions or other evil beasts. Taoism has been passed on to the Dharma seal since the ancestor Zhang Daoling, and it has been inherited to this day.
And what Liu Yuhao is holding in his hand now is a jade law seal, although the utensils have not been touched for thousands of years, the jade law seal is still warm and meticulous, and the luster is like fat.
Liu Yuhao touched it lightly, and he could immediately feel the smell of the spiritual spring coming out of his hand.
Look at the past carefully, faintly, the luster on the law seal still looks thick and simple, although its shape is with the shape, but the surface has been polished and polished by nature for thousands of years, and the artificial is only slightly milled, which shows the realm of its essence and light.
"The Dharma seal is a Taoist magic weapon, how can it appear in the treasure secret room of foreigners?"
Liu Yuhao put a big question mark in his mind.
Tearing the mouth of the skin bag a little wider again, Liu Yuhao successively took out a few more Taoist artifacts from it.
The so-called ritual utensils are the tools required for the Taoist Zhai Jiao altar, which are generally used in the Jiao altar with the rhyme and rituals, and some can also be used when practicing spells.
Taoist magic weapons, the upper can summon the gods to send generals, the lower can exorcise evil spirits, so there are many varieties.
Liu Yuhao opened his eyes today, and after a while, he had already taken out the wat, Ruyi, Fa Yin, Seven Star Magic Sword, Five Thunder Tokens, Zhentan Wood, Ruler, Bell, and Drum from his skin
"One, two, three"
After carefully counting the Taoist artifacts on the ground, Liu Yuhao's face showed a deep sense of consternation.
There were as many as nineteen magic weapons in that leather bag, and none of them were duplicates, each of which was an exquisite Taoist treasure.
Who got these artifacts here?
And what was the reason why a Taoist master lost the treasure weapon he was carrying?
The suspicion in Liu Yuhao's heart became more solemn.
