One hundred and nine. King Tupac's Treasure

There are really a lot of good things in the Yuan Xiye family, especially in the Song and Ming dynasties. It's no wonder that there is such a saying in the antique world, if you want to see the good things of the Song and Ming dynasties, you can go to Yuan's hometown.

However, Ai Xiaohai basically doesn't know these collections.

He saw that the pair of Ming Dynasty porcelain he had placed in Yuan Lao's place was carefully placed in the most conspicuous position, and he thought that he was not afraid that someone would come to steal it? This is a precious cultural relic that is not sold for hundreds of millions of dollars in Yuan Xiye's mouth.

At this time, Yuan Xiye's whole person was immersed in the diary, while reading, he kept recording something on the paper, and occasionally flipped through a Latin dictionary. It looked like he was completely drawn to the journal.

After a while, Ai Xiaohai was a little bored, and his eyes fell on a plant in the corner. The plant was turquoise, but strangely black on its head.

Ai Xiaohai's heart moved: "Old Yuan, what kind of grass is this?" ”

Yuan Xiye hurriedly glanced at it: "Aconitum Cuicao, a friend gave it, that Aconitum has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, if you like it, take it." ”

Aconitum emerald grass? I just ate donkey urine, and now the aconitum emerald grass has appeared? Is there a providence in the dark? Why did that post say that with donkey urine and aconitum emerald grass, the poison of the coffin cricket was not cured?

These two plants are obviously used for detoxification.

Ai Xiaohai thought about it for a long time and didn't understand......

Back in his seat, seeing that Yuan Xiye was still translating there, Ai Xiaohai yawned and fell asleep unconsciously......

He had a very strange dream that the coffin cricket was alive again, and it had become very big, bigger than his own people...... He opened his fangs and swallowed himself in one gulp......

Ai Xiaohai woke up smartly, and when he looked at the time, it was already 12:30 in the evening.

Good fellow, I slept for four and a half hours.

Looking at Yuan Xiye again, there was the diary and a bunch of translated materials in front of him, and his eyes were red. Could it be that he has been translating for so long?

Seeing Ai Xiaohai wake up, Yuan Xiye hurriedly asked, "Have you shown this diary to anyone?" ”

"Nope. Old Yuan, it's so late, I'd better come back tomorrow. ”

"No, no, I'm not tired." Yuan Xiye asked Ai Xiaohai, who had just stood up, to sit back down: "It's amazing, this discovery is really amazing, I must tell you the original ......."

Yuan Lao's tone was very resolute, and Ai Xiaohai could only listen carefully as he said:

"The owner of this diary is Ferdinando Prio Majmas Sandos, captain of the Spanish Navy's 'Sharp'. By chance, in the basement of his house, Sandos found a diary left by my grandfather, Tadeo, which reads, 'The ancestors of the Incas crossed the Bering Strait to the American continent about 10,000 years ago. In the decades since the Incas arrived in the Americas, they created their own civilization and established the Inca Empire, which was unprecedentedly vast. The abundance of gold and silver in the Americas is even more sought after by the populace...... And I, following Governor Pizarro on the glorious path to conquer the Inca Empire, became the lieutenant of His Excellency the Viceroy and one of the thirteen warriors of Calvary......'"

Pizarro? The colonist who defeated the elite 80,000 Inca troops with only 169 men, including him? As for the "Thirteen Warriors of Calvary", it refers to the thirteen knights who were the first to follow Pizarro on his incredible adventures.

"In my grandfather's diary, I learned that the legend that circulated on the continent of Europe was true, that the wealth we had acquired in the Inca Empire was less than a third of the total. And a large amount of gold and silver were hidden in three secret places by Tupac, the last emperor of the Inca Empire, before being arrested. Tupac killed almost all of the people in the know, but one Inca soldier escaped by pretending to be dead, and in the process of escaping, fell into the hands of my grandfather......"

The Inca soldier put up a fierce resistance when captured, only to be impaled through his body, and was dying when Tadeo interrogated him. He confessed the secret of King Tupac, and also said that after King Tupac left, he went to the place where the treasure was hidden and stole a batch of treasures, and hid them in a safe place.

Tadeo asked where the treasures were, and the Inca soldiers only took out a few knots, Chip, and died.

Having discovered this great secret, Tadeo hurriedly tried to stop Pizarro from executing the newly captured King Tupac, but it was too late. Only King Tupac knew the location of the three treasures.

The selfish Tadeo did not tell Pizarro about the secret, and he could not search for the treasure openly, especially Chip, who he simply did not understand. A month later, he returned home as one of the glorious conquerors.

Upon returning to China, Tadeo fell ill after years of wandering at sea, and he told his son the secret, but he did not believe in these ridiculous legends. As a musician, he thinks his father has been driven crazy by the treasure hunt.

Old Tadeo had to write down the secret in his diary, and hid it in the basement with the knots, and died after a while.

Fortunately, his grandson Sandos continued his grandfather's adventurous personality and became a navyman and discovered the diary.

Santos is convinced of King Tupac's treasures, and the key to finding them is to crack the knots. Sandos struggled to find an old slave of the Inca Empire, who used to be an accountant of the Inca Empire, and under the coercion and temptation of Sandos, the old slave told him the secret hidden in the knot.

Sandos excitedly kills the old slave, which is the best "reward" for him.

After months of preparation, Sandos and his "Sharp" set out on a quest for treasure.

At sea, they met the British armed merchant ship "Northern Rose" and defeated it. Sandos and his crew obtained a large amount of silverware from the "Northern Rose".

This would explain where the box of silverware came from...... Ai Xiaohai thought to himself......

A box full of silver candlesticks, silver tableware, and silver ornaments are all on the "Northern Rose" ......

Sandos and his "Sharp", following in the footsteps of their grandfather, reset foot on the territory of the Inca Empire, which of course is now a Spanish colony.

Guided by the knot, he and his crew made their way into the eastern jungle. A large number of primitive troops still live here, and they were never truly conquered by the Inca Empire. Of course, after the arrival of the Spanish colonists, in front of steel, the primitive tribes were almost slaughtered clean.

However, the horror of the primeval jungle is far beyond Santos's imagination. Poisonous snakes and unknown beasts continued to attack them, and a plague began to spread, and one by one the sailors around Santos fell......

Spurred on by the treasure, Sandos overcame unimaginable difficulties and finally found the hidden treasure of the Inca soldier in a cave when the sun rose for the twentieth time. A gold plate, a gold necklace encrusted with precious stones, and a crown made of gold......

Ai Xiaohai immediately understood that the treasure that Sandos had searched was in that box......

Sandos knew very well that with the physical strength and mentality of the Inca soldiers at that time, he could not carry that much gold to run too far, so King Tupac's treasure must be somewhere nearby.

However, there were only three sick men left with him at this time, and he could no longer move on, so he could only leave a special mark nearby, and leave the primeval jungle with a chest full of gold with three of his subordinates.

Returning to the "Sharp", he ordered to return to the ship immediately, and when he returned to the next place, he would surely leave with King Tupac's treasure after more careful preparations.

However, what he didn't expect was that when he brought back the gold, the plague was also brought to the ship by him.

In those days, the encounter with plague at sea was the most terrible thing. One by one, the crew fell...... Even Sandos did not escape the clutches of the plague in the end......

Two-thirds of the sailors died, and everyone was infected with the plague. It rained overnight, and they met the HMS Black Sir of the British Royal Navy, who had come to avenge the Northern Rose.

The "Sharp" was no longer capable of fighting, and once it fell into the hands of the British, they would all be hanged on charges of piracy.

And what about the treasures? Sandos would never let his hard-won treasure fall into the hands of his enemies. He placed the treasure and the diary in three specially made chests and ordered the ship's wreck.

The Sharp sank with Santos, the sick crew, and King Tupac's treasure...... Since then, no one has known the story of this treasure......

Ai Xiaohai was thrilled to hear, Sandos had worked hard to find the treasure, but before he could enjoy it, he sank to the bottom of the sea with his treasure. Is this irony?

"What Sandos found was only a tiny fraction of King Tupac's treasure, stolen by the Inca soldier." Yuan Xiye said with a solemn face: "I firmly believe that King Tupac's treasure exists, and its clue is in this diary. ”

Ai Xiaohai was immediately attracted.

Yuan Xiye turned to the last page of the diary: "Look, this is the road map drawn by Sandos for the convenience of the next treasure hunt. After so many years, no one has found a bits and pieces of information about King Tupac's treasure, so this treasure is still waiting to be discovered! ”

Ai Xiaohai couldn't read the road map.

"The primeval forest, I have checked, a treasure is buried in this primeval forest."

"But where is the primeval forest?"

Yuan Xiye said slowly: "Peru! ”
