Chapter 185: Treasure
"Going to Mt. Akagi?" Yu Fei frowned, pretending to be very embarrassed and said, "Ah, I'm not feeling well, I won't go tomorrow, right?" You also know that Japanese food is raw and cold, and I am really not used to it. ”
Yu Fei, who was still alive just now, suddenly became a delicate treatment, and he actually had a stomach upset.
"Really?" Saori Mitsui said lightly: "That's a pity, I thought Yu Feijun would be interested in the treasures of Akagi Mountain!" ”
"Mt. Akagi...... Treasure?! Yu Fei said in surprise that what attracted him was of course the word treasure.
He knew almost nothing about the history of Japan, and he had never heard of the so-called treasure of Mt. Akagi, but now he suddenly heard about it, of course, he was very surprised, and from ancient times to the present, the treasure two people have an inexplicable attraction to people.
According to Saori Mitsui, Mt. Akagi, located in Gunma Prefecture in the northern part of Japan's Kanto region, is a dormant volcano that is known as the three mountains of Kamimo, along with two other mountain ranges in the eastern part of Kanto, Mt. Haruna and Mt. Myogi. In Japan, Mt. Akagi is not known for its tallness or majesty, but for its legendary astronomical amount of gold. It is said that the amount of gold buried in Mt. Akagi is as high as 4 million taels. That was in the 19th century, in the first year of Wanyan (1860). At that time, at the end of the reign of the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, the exchange rate of gold and silver in the world was 1:15, while in Japan it was only 1:3, and there was a large outflow of gold from the country. In order to prevent this negative phenomenon and to store blood assets for the sake of armaments, the Elder (the supreme consul of the shogunate) Ii Naobu formulated a plan to bury gold in a highly secret manner in the name of storing military expenses. Mt. Akagi was chosen as a place to hide gold. At that time, the reformers of the middle and lower ranks of the powerful feudal clan stabbed the shogunate samurai to death outside the Sakurada Gate in Edo (present-day Tokyo). After his death, his subordinates, Hayashi Daitou and Oguri Uenosuke, continued to carry out the plan to bury the gold. At the end of the 60s of the 19th century, the Tokugawa shogunate was finally overthrown by the shogunate. The end of the Edo period. In July 1868, the new government changed Edo to Tokyo, and the Meiji government came to power, and the Akagi mountain gold became a mystery for a century.
4,000,000 taels of gold?! If it is converted into RMB, it will cost 40 or 50 billion yuan (at the beginning of 2000, a gram of gold was only more than 200 yuan), and such a large fortune immediately attracted Yu Fei's attention. Of course, Yu Fei didn't want to get this huge wealth, this reaction was just the natural reaction of people who love money to gold.
"That, Saori. What time do you leave tomorrow morning? Yu Fei, who just kept saying that his stomach was not used to it, was cured without medicine, and even he felt blushing for such a change.
"Huh? Yu Feijun, aren't you sick to your stomach? Or don't force it too much, right? "Saori Mitsui obviously grasped Yu Fei's weakness. Deliberately teasing him.
"I can't say that, Saori, as a member of the Ningdu University team, of course I have to advance and retreat with others. Otherwise, what is it like? Yu Fei said sternly. I completely forgot who left a bunch of people to go to the antique market in the afternoon to pick up the leaks.
"Yu Feijun, are you sure there is no problem?" Saori Mitsui was full of smiles, she really rarely saw someone as thick-skinned as Yu Fei, who didn't even blush when she said such inconsistent words.
"No problem, how can this little problem be difficult for me? Feel relieved! Bearable. Yu Fei patted his chest hard to show that his body was as strong as an ox.
Saori Mitsui smiled and said, "Okay, Yu Feijun, then we'll see you tomorrow morning." Good night! ”
After breakfast the next day, the group drove to Mt. Akagi. When on the road. Yu Fei and Saori Mitsui sat at the back of the car, and Yu Fei asked in detail about the treasures of Akagi Mountain.
It was rumored that in 1866, the Japanese shogunate was about to come to an end. On January 14, 30 samurai suddenly appeared near Mt. Akagi, overseeing the transportation of 22 heavy oil drums and 20 bundles of heavy goods by seventy or eighty hired laborers. The clandestine work went on for almost a year, and most of them were wiped out after it was over. According to later investigations, the items they hid were 4 million taels of gold that the Tokugawa shogunate had prepared to use as a military reserve.
For more than a century, many people who want to become rich overnight have come to Akagi Mountain to explore treasures, and since no gold has been excavated so far, in 1905, the island chasing old couple found a few wooden bottles containing gold here; Later, during the construction of the road, 57 oval gold coins with solid gold slices were found in ancient Japan.
And the most enthusiastic about discovering the hidden gold in Akagi Mountain is none other than the three generations of Mizuno family.
The first generation of Mizuno Tomoyoshi was the son of the Nakajima Tibetan, who told him on his deathbed that Mt. Akagi contained the gold of the Tokugawa shogunate, and that the treasure spot was related to an ancient well. As a result, Tomoyoshi Mizuno germinated the belief of finding Akagi's gold. He sold his property to raise 160,000 yen and began to investigate the inside story of the treasure. Later, in May 1890, Tomoyoshi Mizuno excavated a pure gold statue of Tokugawa Ieyasu from the ground 30 meters north of a well, and it is speculated that the gold statue was buried as the guardian deity of 4 million taels of gold. Soon after, three copper plates that Mizuno Tomoyoshi believed were indicative maps of the burial site were dug up under the foundation of a temple, but the mystery of their meaning was not understood. In April of Showa 8, Tomoyoshi Mizuno discovered another giant artificial turtle. This is the harvest that the first generation of Mizuno fought for all their lives.
The second-generation Mizuno Aizaburo son inherited his father's business and found a hole under the artificial turtle glans, and there were five-colored rocks in the hole, I don't know whether it was natural or man-made.
Tomoko Mizuno, the third generation, further learned about the legend of Mt. Akagi's gold across the country, and he cooperated with others to hunt for treasure using so-called special functions, but with little success. The excavation tunnels of the three generations of the Mizuno family in Mt. Akagi are 22 kilometers long, but no gold hiding points have been found. What challenges Mizuno's semi-blind mental and physical work is the use of high-tech techniques. Metal reactions were found in the tunnels dug by Mizunoya with the latest metal detectors, and it was analyzed that it was extremely difficult to use natural metals in the stratum, and it was possible that the Tokugawa gold was hidden, but due to the soft geology, strong support was needed for excavation, so it had to be temporarily stopped.
In other words, although treasure hunters flock to it, no one has ever discovered where the gold treasure is. Therefore, some people think that the matter of hiding gold is completely imaginary, fabricated, and impossible. Some people believe that this should be true, because the Tokugawa Shogunate's Edo North and South Town Offices had 10,000 taels of gold in small departments, not to mention the shogunate.
But where the 4 million taels of gold went, no one knows yet.
After breakfast at a restaurant at the foot of Mt. Akagi, the group began to climb the mountain. This made Yu Fei secretly complain, is it so hard to hunt for treasures? But look at how easy it is for those archaeologists, someone specially invited them to go to the mausoleum, take a small brush there and leisurely brush the dust off the antiques. How can he be like himself, he still has to climb the mountain quietly, but he doesn't know where the treasure is, and at this moment Yu Fei feels as if he has been deceived by the little girl skin of Saori Mitsui.
Although Akagi Mountain is the highest of the three mountains in Shangmao, it is very small compared with the mountains in China.
Everyone was going to have lunch on the mountain, so they brought a lot of ingredients, and everyone carried some on their backs, and of course Saori Mitsui's share was now on Yu Fei's back. Now Yu Fei finally understands that when he just divided the items, Saori Mitsui's expression was so strange, and he had already thought about carrying it on his back, this little girl's skin was too unkind.
Although he understood this, Yu Fei's heart was not nervous at all, with the words of Chaos Qi on gravel, he was really not afraid of carrying more things.
On the mountain road, you can often see some traces left by the predecessors when they excavated the treasures of Mt. Akagi, there are temporary sheds, and there are rust-damaged excavators, but it can be seen that it has been idle for a while, so it seems that the treasures of Mt. Akagi have gradually been forgotten recently. Or is this a complete hoax to increase the number of tourists in Akagi Mountain, otherwise, why are they keen to hype these non-existent things?
When I walked halfway up the mountain, there were already a lot of people who were too tired to do it, and today's climbers are the pride of the sky, the likes of scholars, and they have little exercise on weekdays, and this baptism can be described as painful.
Yu Fei originally wanted to secretly guide a stream of chaotic qi to smoothly comb his body, but when the chaotic qi escaped from his body, he had a very unexpected gain. (To be continued......)
