Chapter 411: The Treasure Room That Came Out

"Huh? Is it an architectural drawing? Xiao Shikai nodded, and then asked disapprovingly, there are a lot of drawings of the Old Summer Palace in the people, but many of them are hand-copied versions, or some small-scale planning drawings, and the overall drawings are impossible to fall out of the city, although the abdication of the Qing Dynasty may lead to the most difficult drawings to fall out of the country, but no matter what, it is not uncommon for the people to buy the drawings, so Xiao Shikai does not care.

"No, I won't talk about architectural drawings, strictly speaking, it's a treasure map." Yang Yiwei shook his head and said directly.

"Treasure map? The treasure map of the Old Summer Palace? Xiao Shikai and the three of them all asked a little strangely, and after a long time, Xiao Shikai shook his head and said: "Then you should buy a fake, there is no treasure map in the Old Summer Palace, and even if there is, the Old Summer Palace has become a ruin, and nothing can be left at all, so this drawing must be a forgery." ”

Yang Yiwei doesn't know if there is such a drawing, but the treasure is piled up there, anyway, whether this treasure map is there or not, as long as the things can be dug out, those things are buried in the ground, and in a few hundred years, there may really be no more, which is a witness to Chinese history.

"No, this drawing should not be fake, I asked someone to do a professional appraisal, the time of the drawing is indeed more than 200 years, it is from the Old Summer Palace, according to the description of this treasure map, in the underground of the Old Summer Palace, there seems to be a treasure room, which is buried a lot of precious treasures of the Qing Dynasty, according to the person who sold my drawings, this treasure is even the retreat left by the royal family at that time in the Qing Dynasty." Anyway, no one knows about this thing, so whatever Yang Yiwei says about this thing, it is impossible for Xiao Shikai and them to find the "person who sold Yang Yiwei's treasure map".

"It can't be. Although the Qing Dynasty government said that it had begun to decline at that time, the Qing Dynasty government at that time did not realize that it was impossible to have this kind of foresight, and began to leave this kind of retreat treasure room, even if there were, this treasure room should be the birthplace of the Manchu people in the northeast, and it was impossible to build it under the Old Summer Palace, the garden of ten thousand gardens at that time, which does not make sense. Xiao Shikai waited for Yang Yiwei to finish speaking, then refuted Yang Yiwei as soon as possible, shook his head and said.

"Not necessarily......" The other old men were about to say something. Li Xiangyou said suddenly.

"Huh?" Xiao Shikai and several people looked at Li Xiangyou inexplicably, "This thing may be true." Li Xiangyou's expression was very solemn, "I once got a wild history, and the things are old objects that have been handed down from the Qing Dynasty government. What is recorded in it is also the events of the construction of the Old Summer Palace, it is like a diary. It should have been the foreman at that time. Or the diary of the overseer, this wild history is incomplete, I found it in the antique street in Beijing, you wait......" Li Xiangyou dropped a few words, and then stood up and walked directly to his study.

"Wouldn't it? Is there such a thing? "If they talk about Yang Yiwei, they will think that Yang Yiwei has bought something fake. But Li Xiangyou is not only a famous professor of the history department of Tsinghua University, but also an expert in antiques, his usual hobby is collecting, and although Xiao Shikai and others are not experts in identifying antiquities. But after all, he is a professor at the Palace Museum, and there are many talents in this area among their friends, so they also know that Li Xiangyou's appraisal level is not low.

"Xiao Yang, is that drawing still there?" Ji Zhenggang turned to Yang Yiwei and asked.

"It's gone, the drawing was very worn out when it was handed over to me, and then I accidentally broke it, but it doesn't matter, because when I got the drawing, I directly rubbed all the patterns drawn on it, and left an electronic copy in the computer." Yang Yiwei shook his head, nonsense, this thing is made up, where did he go to find this treasure map, as for the electronic manuscript, Xiaoxi can get it out casually.

"It's a pity, some ancient treasure maps may also have hidden information, such as some hidden potions on the paper, unreadable handwriting, and so on." Ji Zhenggang said with some regret.

The three of them learned about the treasure map with Yang Yiwei again, about ten minutes or so, Li Xiangyou walked back with a worn-out book in his hand, and after carefully putting the book on the table, Li Xiangyou turned it to the middle page and said: "You can see, this book similar to a diary is more like a record book of the supervisor or foreman at that time, and you see that there is such a sentence here, the dug passage has reached a depth of 123 feet...... The handwriting on the back is illegible...... The progress of the stone masonry is expected to be completed in a week, and it has been transferred to the next page, but you see, there are obvious signs of tearing in the middle. ”

Li Xiangyou pointed to the contents of this diary and said to the four people, Xiao Shikai and the others also came over, and sure enough, although the middle of the thread-bound book was torn very carefully, but if you broke it hard, you could still see that there were traces of tearing inside, and about several pages were torn off.

"One foot in the Qing Dynasty is about 9 inches and 6 minutes of the current city size, that is, 32 centimeters in modern times, and 123 feet, that is, about nearly 40 meters deep, what is dug in the Old Summer Palace at this depth? Although the Old Summer Palace has a relatively old drainage system, it is actually very simple, that is, a limited number of them, and it is impossible to dig more than 40 meters deep, and there is an obvious mention of passages here, and a passage is more than 40 meters deep...... This is obviously something similar to a secret passage or a secret room, several of you are experts in this area, and the research on the Old Summer Palace is not a day and a half, have you ever found something similar in the Old Summer Palace? Li Xiangyou asked.

Xiao Shikai and the three of them looked at each other for a moment, and then Xiao Shikai shook his head: "No, there is indeed a secret passage, but it has been destroyed, about four or five meters deep underground, and more than 40 meters deep...... At this depth, with the location of the Old Summer Palace, it is obvious that there should already be water, how did the ancient people solve the problem of water? Especially digging through the secret passage. ”

"I don't know about this, although I saw this sentence at the time, but because the language is unknown, I have checked a lot of other information, and there is no one in the official history. I searched through a lot of historical materials, but I didn't find the most unfounded, so I didn't mention it to you, because there is no exact place here, if it wasn't for Xiao Yang's mention, the treasure map of the Old Summer Palace, I wouldn't have thought of it here. Li Xiangyou shook his head and said.

Yang Yiwei was also very surprised, there is no doubt that this book is an antiquity, Li Xiangyou and all of them have their own portals, and it is not a problem to find those experts. Therefore, whether the book is an antiquity or not is very easy to identify, Yang Yiwei did not expect that there is really evidence handed down. "That Xiao Yang, is the electronic copy of the treasure map you kept on this computer of yours? Can you figure it out and show us? Xiao Shikai hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Of course, I bought this at the time and wanted to give it to the state, but then I forgot about it because of something. Just now, Professor Shao's words made me suddenly remember this matter, and this electronic manuscript is in my mailbox. Wait, I'll find it out for you. Yang Yiwei immediately smiled and nodded. Then, without saying a word, he directly opened the webpage of the computer, and directly opened his mailbox, Yang Yiwei quickly found the electronic version of the treasure map made by Xiaoxi in the attachment.

After Yang Yiwei opened this, Yang Yiwei didn't know what Xiaoxi would look like, but Yang Yiwei was not worried, he had to believe Xiaoxi! Soon. This JPG image was opened, and a clear picture appeared on the computer screen, which was outlined with lines, and I looked at this drawing. Yang Yiwei knew that there should be no problem, although this drawing is very simple, but it can be seen that there are important references.

"This is Chunxi Temple!" Seeing several obvious architectural signs on this drawing, Xiao Shikai directly pointed to one of the buildings and said, "According to the description of this drawing, the tunnel of this treasure room seems to have been following the bottom of the Wanquan River, and the location of the last treasure is under the main garden of the Old Summer Palace, where it is now a ruin." There's nothing on it. "Xiao Shikai and the others are worthy of being experts in the study of ancient gardens, and the Old Summer Palace must have been studied a lot, and the location of this treasure was almost directly pointed out.

"The question is, can this treasure map be taken seriously?" Several people didn't know whether to believe this drawing, everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Yiwei's body, Yang Yiwei shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I don't know, when I got this treasure map, I thought, even if there is a treasure, it must be obtained by the state, but I still bought it, as for whether the country dug it out, I don't know." ”

"Nope." Ji Zheng shook his head directly without thinking about it and said: "The ruins of the Old Summer Palace, such as the renovation and repair, etc., several of us have participated in when we were young, the country has not dug up anything, and there has never been any secret passage found there, even if the middle part of this secret passage is built at the bottom of the Wanquan River, this is a clever place, but its exit must be close to the ground, no matter how deep the underground secret room is, but there must be an exit, but the exit has never been found." ”

Ji Zhenggang's words, Xiao Shikai and the others also nodded in agreement, they have all worked in the Palace Museum for not a year or two, and they naturally know whether the country has anything to do. Yang Yiwei hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I don't know about this, but I once read a novel, although it is said that the novel may be fake, but this matter may happen, that is such an important treasure place, there must be countermeasures, the Old Summer Palace was burned down by the British and French forces, if at that time, there was already a treasure in this treasure room, I think someone must know that this treasure room, and the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace, this person, Do you think it will ruin this passage? After all, the definition here is the backhand left by the Qing Dynasty, which means that it is impossible to use this treasure unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

Yang Yiwei's words Xiao Shikai and the others' eyes immediately lit up, Xiao Shikai nodded, and agreed: "It is very likely, after all, at that time, the Qing court still looked like the Heavenly Empire, so it was impossible to let the treasures collected by the Qing Dynasty cheapen the British and French forces in the heart of being able to break the jade, so it is very likely to destroy the passage." ”

"In this way, it's very simple, according to the location of this passage, we apply to the state, directly call the excavator to dig here, even if the passage is destroyed, but such a long report, and the construction is so deep, according to the description in Lao Li's book, it should be piled up with stones, as long as the stones are dug out, can you find the destroyed passage, don't you know if there is a treasure room in the road?" Ji Zhenggang pointed to the electronic picture on Yang Yiwei's computer screen and said.

"It makes sense, whether Xiao Yang's treasure map can be printed for us, this matter must be applied to the state." Xiao Shikai opened his mouth quickly.

"No problem." Yang Yiwei nodded happily, Yang Yiwei brought up this matter because he didn't want these things to be buried in the ground, and he didn't expect to get any profit in it, so naturally he didn't care about this treasure map. Li Xiangyou has a printer at home, Yang Yiwei directly connected to his computer, and then printed a copy of this treasure map for Xiao Shikai, after a few people greeted each other, Xiao Shikai and Ji Zhenggang hurriedly left with the treasure map.

Li Xiangyou also followed, and Yang Yiwei and Shao Jichang naturally opened it from Li Xiangyou's house, "Hehe, Xiao Yang, I didn't expect you to let us help but didn't help, but instead made such a treasure room, if this is true, your contribution to the country is immeasurable." Shao Jichang said with a smile.

"Elder Shao said with a smile, but Elder Shao, I'll trouble you about the ancient construction company." Yang Yiwei was also polite and said with a smile.

"No problem, I'll leave this matter to me, don't worry." Shao Jichang readily agreed, "In addition, if you need experts in this area, I can also introduce you to a few." Shao Jichang took care of this matter on himself.

"Then I'll thank Xie Shao first." After separating from Shao Jichang outside Li Xiangyou's community, Yang Yiwei and Wei Lei returned to the hotel where they lived, called Shi Lao to thank him again, and then confirmed the time of going to Shi Lao's research institute, and Yang Yiwei hung up the phone.
