Chapter 37: The Cave Is Discovered

"Boss, that's where I found my gold jewelry." Li Ergou pointed to the waterfall in front of him.

"Everyone dispersed to see if there were any other clues nearby." After Chen Sen finished speaking, he took the lead in taking off his shoes and walked into the small river below the waterfall, and the thirteen sailors next to him immediately scattered by the waterfall to look for clues.

The small river formed by the waterfall is fast, and Chen Sen carefully groped along the river's edge to prevent it from being washed away.

"Boss, come here, I found a cave." Chen Sen was walking forward, and when he heard the shouting, he immediately went ashore and followed the sound.

"Where's the cave?" Chen Sen ran to the place, looked at the bushes in front of him, and did not find the location of the cave.

"The Boss is here." Li Ergou said and walked to the foot of a bushy mountain more than ten meters away, and used a machete to cut down the surrounding dwarf trees, and sure enough, a Hessian hole was exposed.

"Boss, I was in a hurry to urinate just now, so I ran to the bottom of the mountain to pee and found this cave not far from peeing." Li Ergou stood at the entrance of the cave and said.

"This cave is so hidden, maybe the gold is in it, everyone come with me to clean up the cave entrance."

More than a dozen people cleaned the thorny bushes at the entrance of the cave, and soon saw the whole picture of the cave.

The cave is about two meters high and one meter wide, and the mountain walls are smooth and neat, obviously artificially trimmed.

"Ma Ying, tell the prince about the cave we found. I and the others went to the cave to check it out. Having discovered a major clue, Chen Sen immediately commanded his subordinates beside him.

"Understood." The sailors quickly put on their shoes and left.

"Boss, I used to hear the old people in the village say that the place where the treasure is buried will be arranged with mechanisms, so we should be careful when we go in."

"Well, you have a point, let's prepare outside, and then go into the cave immediately."

Looking at the darkness of the cave from the outside, Chen Sen estimated that the area inside was not small, and ordered his sailors to cut down a small oil palm tree, cut it into thirteen wooden sticks for ignition, tie their clothes and set it on fire, and the thirteen people walked cautiously towards the cave.

The tent where Li Mingyuan temporarily lived was more than ten miles away from the waterfall. Chen Sen's sailors ran away on horseback and ran for more than ten minutes to reach the camp.

"Report to the son, the brothers outside have an important situation to report."

"Hurry up and let him in." Li Mingyuan put down the book in his hand and immediately stood up.

Li Mingyuan's Titicaca Lake is here for treasure, and what can make his subordinates report as a major event must be related to treasure.

Ma Ying entered the big tent and said directly, "Shizi, we found a man-repaired cave by the waterfall, and this cave is probably related to treasures. ”

"Take me there at once, and find a treasure, and each of you will have a reward." As Li Mingyuan expected, a major clue was discovered.

"Inform Regiment Commander Li, gather all the soldiers of the regiment, and go to the destination immediately."

"Yes." ……

After the news that Chen Sen had discovered the clue to the treasure spread in the barracks, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment immediately boiled, and under the command of the platoon commanders of their respective companies, they quickly assembled and marched in the direction of the waterfall.

Chen Sen and his men entered the cave, and the firelight reflected on the walls, reflecting strange murals. There were Indians dancing around serpents, tall palaces, and Indian priests with feathers.

"Boss, how do I feel like I'm in a mausoleum. The murals on this wall are for the burial of the dead. ”

"I also feel that the cave is gloomy, and there will be no monsters."

"Nonsense, there are no monsters in the world," Chen Sen reprimanded.

However, after they said this, Chen Sen also felt that something was wrong.

The Incas were invaded by the Spanish colonizers at the time, and it was impossible to spend a lot of effort to decorate the treasure site, and the murals here took a long time to complete.

Chen Sen thought as he looked at the murals on the wall, suspecting that he had come to the wrong place.

"Boss, what do you see ahead?" Li Ergou's words interrupted Chen Sen's thoughts, and he looked ahead, and a little star-like glimmer flashed in the cave.

Chen Sen and the others walked forward a dozen steps, and saw clearly what the white light was, which turned out to be a mirror made of silver.

The mirror weighs about five pounds and carries a lot of weight in your hand.

"Boss, we didn't come to the wrong place, we didn't enter the cave for a hundred meters, and we picked up a silver mirror, maybe there was something higher in it."

When Li Ergou saw the silver mirror, the suspicion just now immediately disappeared.

"Yes, it's a good start, everyone follow me forward."

After getting a silver mirror, Chen Sen and the others were even more curious about what was inside the cave, and couldn't help but speed up their pace and walk inside.

After walking forward for two hundred meters, Chen Sen and the others walked into a wide stone room. There were more than 100 large boxes in the stone room, all of which were neatly placed in the center of the stone room.

"Boss, is all the gold in the big chest?" Li Ergou's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

"Open it and see it, won't you?" Chen Sen said calmly.

The wooden box had been in the cave for hundreds of years, and most of the wooden planks were decaying, and Chen Sen's sailors quickly opened a wooden box.

With a loud sound, the left plank of the wooden box fell, and the sailors next to him immediately went up to watch, but the contents of the box were very disappointing.

"Boss, there's no gold in the chest, it's empty."

"Then open the other wooden boxes."

The sailors did not give up, and opened ten wooden boxes in a row, but all of them were empty.

"Boss, there's no treasure here, we're working in vain."

Chen Sen walked around the stone chamber and found that there was a coffin in the middle of the wooden box.

"Open this coffin."

The coffin found by Chen Sen was also made of wooden planks, and it was difficult to be found in the middle of more than a hundred large boxes.

The material of the coffin was much better than the wooden box, and it took a dozen sailors a lot of time to open the coffin.

"Boss, there's a body in the coffin."

Chen Sen looked into the coffin, a white skeleton dressed in gorgeous clothes, a large necklace made of gold hung on his body, and a huge gold crown on his head.

Chen Sen picked up the crown on the white bone with his hand, and as soon as he picked up the crown, the head of the white bone was crooked to the side, Chen Sen handed the crown to the sailor next to him, and carefully looked at the neck of the white bone, and found that the neck bone of the white bone was misplaced, much like being hanged to death.

Chen Sen spent three years in the mines in South America, and often saw Chinese laborers who escaped and were captured, and the mine owner would hang the captured Chinese laborers in front of everyone, and then the Chinese laborers were not allowed to be buried after their deaths, and were thrown directly on the mountains to become food for vultures.

In the past three years, Chen Sen has secretly buried more than 20 corpses of Chinese workers who have turned into white bones. There is a deep impression of the corpse that was hanged to death.

"Boss, this white bone has a lot of gold on his body, he must have been very rich before he died."

Li Ergou said with a crown.

"If my guess is correct, the owner of this body was a king of the Indians during his lifetime, and when we captured Arequipa, we captured the same crown as this one." Chen Sen looked at the corpse in the coffin and said.

"Boss, since this corpse was a king before his death, this should be his mausoleum, but why is there no burial goods?"

"Could it be that the treasure in the box was stolen by tomb robbers?"

"No way, if there were tomb robbers, the crown in the coffin would definitely be taken away." Another sailor retorted.

There were many doubts in the cave, but Chen Sen was not in the mood to think about this, the purpose of entering the cave was to find treasures, but he only found an empty mausoleum, and the people who informed Shizi had already set off for half an hour, and when Shizi arrived here, he could only return disappointed when he saw empty boxes in one place.
