Chapter 70: The Treasure of Tanglin
The black hole inside couldn't see clearly, and I was a little hesitant in my heart, and at this time, I remembered the voice of peeping at the sky in my mind,
"Master, there are some opportunities waiting in there, let's go in and have a look"
Wang Chao thought about it, secretly made up his mind, and then walked in.
The ground was wet, and the air didn't smell as bad as expected, and it seemed to be mixed with some fragrance, but I couldn't smell what the specific fragrance was.
Twelve points of energy, gazing to use perspective to the extreme, see that the inside is showing a downward trend, there are obvious traces of excavation on the ground, the top of the cave seems to be natural, but there are also traces of axes on both sides, some stones blocking the road are bulldozed, it seems that the things that enter the hole should have a certain width, but the height is no problem.
The road inside is not upright, but follows the natural trend of the cave and twists left and right, fortunately, Wang Chao's visualization cultivation is close to Dacheng, and his vision in the dark is no longer hindered, otherwise he must rely on flashlights and other equipment to illuminate.
After walking about 50 meters, the eyes suddenly opened up, and came to a large karst cave, which slightly exposed a ray of sunlight, it seems that there should be a crack on the top of the cave to communicate with the outside world, and this also makes the air circulation in the cave, not fully enclosed.
I saw that the inside of the hole is a slightly flat high platform, about 1 meter high, surrounded by a circle of water, it is estimated that it has been accumulated by rain for many years, the ditch is not wide, and you can go up to the high platform by stepping.
There were a few boxes on the table, right next to the boxes, and suddenly found that there was a person lying there, which frightened Wang Chao, and he didn't go over easily, staring at it, and found that it was just a dead man, the flesh and blood had already rotted, and only a pair of dry bones remained.
But the posture is very strange, the head is raised, the left hand is stretched forward, and the right hand is pressed under the body. Legs curled up, I don't know what is going on, is it caused by unnatural death?
I didn't think much about it, I looked around, there was nothing else, and when I looked at the box on the table, I found that the style of the box was not ancient, and even the lock on the box was not an ancient thing, it seemed that this was not as old as I imagined.
After looking at it for a long time and seeing that there was no abnormality, he immediately walked towards the high platform. Just cautiously, the footsteps are raised high, the breath is lifted lightly, and the legs are lifted without taking away a trace of clouds, no, not taking away a trace of dust.
Walking on the high platform, seeing that there was nothing abnormal, Wang Chao not only relieved his heart. I was secretly ashamed that I was too nervous. Squatted down and looked at the skeleton first, although the clothes on the body were rotten, but the style was buttoned in the middle, and there were several buttons scattered on the ground. It's a modern clothes CCTV, and it's really not very ancient.
Suddenly, I saw a gun thrown in front of this person, yes, it was indeed the kind of "Wang Ba box" seen on TV, and the wooden handle had rotted. But the barrel is still there, and I can vaguely see the "style" of the year, but it is also rusty.
I can't see the identity of this person anymore. Turn your head and look at the boxes again, there are 3 in total, none of them are too big, the length and width are less than 30 centimeters, there is a rusty lock hanging on it, and there is a slender wooden box in the middle of the two boxes, take a closer look, it is made of high-quality iron wood, about four feet long, about a bundle wide, I don't know what is inside.
Wang Chao circled around the three boxes, staring at the past before opening them,
"Woo" found that the box was emitting a silver-gray light, filled with necklaces, gold and silver jewelry, jadeite and other things.
Wang Chao not only gasped, it turned out that these three were valuable things, it seems that this trip was not in vain, and these three boxes don't know how many years they have been here, they seem to be really lucky.
Bending down to pick up the boxes, "so heavy" I didn't expect each box to be fifty or sixty pounds, but for him now, the so-called good weight is just unexpected, with his current physique, let alone a box, even if three boxes are moved together, there is no problem.
I moved the three boxes and the long box to the entrance of the cave, and came back to prepare to move the bones to a pit next to them and bury them - death is great, no matter what you did in life, people die like lights go out, and they should not be exposed to the sky after death, which is also the excellent quality of Wang Chao's nation.
Hey, just as he was moving the dead man, something suddenly fell out of the place under the dead man's body that seemed to be the inner pocket of his jacket, like a folded handkerchief, the hand was a little rough to the touch, and there were dense pinholes around it, it seems that this "handkerchief" should be sewn into the clothes, which can be seen from the fact that there are no objects around the bones to prove identity.
Wang Chao didn't open it, worried that it would cause damage if he opened it without any tools, and the light was very dim here, so he carefully put it in his clothes pocket, and then looked around carefully, there was nothing else, and then he turned around and buried the bones with stones, which was worthy of him.
Walked to the entrance of the cave and moved the three boxes and a box out, covered the hole again, and then carried them down the hill one by one, relieved and then moved directly to grandma's house, put them in the trunk of his car, and no pedestrians saw them on the road, and then covered them with a few clothes.
Although Wang Chao's body is already very strong, he still feels that his arms are sore after carrying this more than 100 catties of things for a long time.
As soon as I put it down, I saw that my cousin was coming out of the house, it turned out that Wang Chao told my cousin that he was going to dig some wild mushrooms and let him go home to get the guy, who knew that this kid was too slow to go down the mountain, and he had already returned, and he was just about to go out.
However, he didn't see him moving the box, and Wang Chao didn't tell his cousin for the time being, worried that this big mouth would cause unnecessary trouble if he publicized it everywhere.
Soon it was noon, after lunch at grandma's house, my cousin mysteriously called Wang Chao out, originally wanted to try two of his cars, Wang Chao let him drive slowly, who knew that this kid quickly learned, it seems that he has a talent for driving, Wang Chao promised to wait for him to graduate and send him a car, then he gave up, but said that if Wang Chao did not leave after the New Year, he would go to him to drive, Wang Chao nodded and agreed.
The winter afternoon was very short, and soon it was getting dark, so Wang Chao and his mother got up and left to return to their home.
In the car, the mother did not find a few more boxes, the old man fell asleep in the staggering, Wang Chao tried to drive slower and more steady, and woke up as soon as the car stopped at home, and then the mother got out of the car, Wang Chao watched his mother go home, and secretly moved those things to his room, and then parked the car.
Had dinner. After chatting with his parents for a while, Xinyu called, and took this opportunity to return to his room and tell him what had happened in the past two days, but he didn't mention the box.
Put down the phone, Wang Chao turned on the light, first carefully observed the three boxes, the appearance was dark and swarthy, there was no brilliance, he twisted his hand hard, and broke the lock with a "click".
"Hmm" found that the lock was broken, revealing a yellow and clear eye. And there was a faint handprint on it that he had just pinched, not only did his heart move, but he immediately turned on the lamp and looked carefully.
"Ah" was stunned - the lock turned out to be golden, the "golden lock" was really unbelievable, and suddenly his heart moved, and he took out a small knife from the table, and made a few cuts on the box, revealing a silvery white light, and then scratched it lightly a few times. More silver was revealed, and not only was he stunned - the box turned out to be made of silver.
Wang Chao was stunned, no wonder he was carrying such a heavy load, and then he didn't break the locks on the other two boxes. Instead, the buckle connected to the lock and the box was unscrewed, only to find that the locks and even the buckles of the three boxes were made of gold, and the boxes were all silver boxes. Not only was he a little stunned.
"What a stroke!" Wang Chao was even more puzzled by the bones in the cave: this must not be an ordinary person, otherwise he would not have these things, even if he didn't open the box. With only these three chests and golden locks, it can be worth at least tens of millions, who is so extravagant and corrupt?
Not in a hurry to open the box, Wang Chao put the three boxes side by side, screwed the lamp to the brightest, carefully examined, and found that there were several big birds engraved on the front of the box and on the lid, well, look at this posture, it should be the legendary phoenix, raising its wings, roaring in the clouds, the eagle is vivid, the eyes of the phoenix, the unfolded phoenix wings are lifelike, at first glance, it is from everyone's hands, but I have not seen anyone in any book who painted the phoenix so expressive.
Looking left and right, looking forward and back, I couldn't understand it, so I had to put it aside for the time being, breathed a sigh of relief, and then opened one of the boxes, and under the light, all kinds of light were reflected inside, green was jade, white jade, yellow gold jewelry, scorching and shining, and Wang Chao was a little dry.
I opened the other two as well, and found that they were all rare pearls, jade, agate and other things, which were priceless, and one of them contained a cabbage carved from jadeite, "Huh? Wang Chao felt a little familiar, and thought about it carefully,
"Yo" remembered, "This, this... Isn't this the favorite jade watermelon of Cixi Lafayette?"
It is said that when the Eight-Nation Coalition came to burn and loot, this jade watermelon disappeared, some people said that it was for Lafayette to be buried, but later when the warlords were fighting, the Tanglin thief Sun Dianying dug a few of the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty, and it is said that the tomb of Lafayette was thrown away and stolen by him.
Some people also said that they were robbed abroad by those devils, and there are different opinions, but they are indeed gone.
Unexpectedly, it was buried deep in that cave and was discovered by Wang Chao.
Trembling with both hands, the jade watermelon was gently reported out and placed on the table, through the light, only to see that this legendary jadeite is green on the top and white below, but it is valuable that this is carved from a whole piece of jadeite, not glued together, so it highlights the value of this piece of jadeite in history, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as priceless.
Although it is difficult to estimate its price now, Wang Chao believes that it will definitely be worth more than the piece of Luo Guo Green sold to Suo Wencheng, gently stroking this piece of jade watermelon, Wang Chao YY thought: If this thing is sold at the top auction, it is estimated that it can be sold at a sky-high price, and hundreds of millions of dollars should be worth it.
But he didn't dare to show it publicly, otherwise there would definitely be "relevant departments" who would come forward to invite him to tea, and by the way, he would give it to Shangzheng, if he opened his mind, it was a good thing for you to take the initiative to contribute, otherwise it would be good for you, me, and everyone, otherwise......
I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I immediately put this piece of jade watermelon on my bed, and there was a thick mattress underneath, so that there was no worry of breaking.
Continue to look at the other items in the box, in the first box found a string of pearls dazzling, a piece of gold jewelry dazzling, and these jewelry carved either dragon or phoenix, at first glance is not an ordinary person can have, dare to carve objects.
A brocade bag was found in an inconspicuous place at the bottom of the box, the mouth was tied with gold velvet thread, and it was round and slippery inside, and it was gently stretched open, and it was found that there were three beads the size of a ping-pong ball, one red, one green, and one transparent, and the three beads were lying quietly in the bag.
I didn't recognize what this was after looking at it for a long time, so I had to pull the gold thread at the mouth of the bag again, tie the bag tightly and put it aside, and wait for the opportunity to check the information in the future.
Open the second box, found that there is still a box inside, made of good rosewood, carved with two jade phoenixes, but the strange thing is that the outside of the box is actually sealed with wax, I don't know why, I raised my nose and smelled a refreshing fragrance, it seems to be the fragrance of rosewood, but not completely.
Take out the box directly from the box and put it on the table, calm down first, and then open the box
"Slow, don't be in a hurry to open it, let's see through it first to see what is inside" Before opening, Wang Chao calmed down, and then looked through the past, and found that there was a box inside, looking at the wood, different from the red sandalwood outside, the appearance was black, and I couldn't help but be taken aback when I looked at it quietly.
This is not an ordinary wood, its preciousness is no less than rosewood, but it is a rarer ebony, which is commonly known as gloomy wood, which is mostly used to make coffins in the ancient royal family, buried in the ground for hundreds of years will not rot, good sealing, keep the hidden things without losing their properties.
So Wang Chao was even more curious about the contents of the box, looked at it again, and found that there were two long items lying quietly in the small box, which looked like a human, and looked at it again, not only gasping.
Ginseng turned out to be two ginseng that resembled human shapes, with a round head on the top, an oval in the middle, and two roots on the bottom. The other one is oval in the middle with two small protrusions on it, like a woman's breasts. Two ginseng side by side were tied with red rope, tied together, and lay in a small box covered with gold velvet,
Wang Chao has read some legends circulating on the Internet, it is said that ginseng with a human form has grown for at least 3,000 years, and like this pair of ginseng, it is even rarer to look and even have vivid facial features, at least 5,000 years, or even more than 8,000 years, this kind of thing can only be seen in legends or novels.
"A male and female pair, even if it is estimated once in 10,000 years, it is difficult for anyone to have this kind of opportunity to find out, could it be that I really have green smoke on my ancestral grave? How else would you get this kind of thing?"
The value of this ginseng has surpassed that of the jade watermelon, and it is a truly priceless treasure, and it is said that even if you smell it, this ginseng can prolong your life; If you eat him, you can bring the dead back to life and rejuvenate you.
Wang Chao solemnly put the box on the bed, and understood why the box was made of rosewood on the outside and gloomy wood on the inside, because only in this way could the medicinal properties be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
Twisting his neck and rubbing his eyes, Wang Chao was even more looking forward to what was in the last box. (To be continued......)
