Chapter 210: Discovering the Treasure Vault
This stone gate is very hidden and not easy to find, and even if you are told that there is a trap door on the stone wall, it will take a lot of effort to find it.
When encountering Zhang Ming, a group of people who regarded Zhang Junping's order as their life, the monks of Wuzhi Temple were also unlucky.
Zhang Junping stepped forward to check the stone door, and knocked hard a few times to confirm that this was indeed a stone door, and there was a large space inside.
Zhang Ming used this method to find the stone door before, each family member carried a hammer in his hand, according to Zhang Junping's instructions, knocked and knocked around, through the echo to find the secret room, and sure enough, he found this stone door on the stone wall.
"Look carefully and see if there are any traps nearby!" Zhang Junping explained, and he also looked around, looking for possible mechanisms.
This is not a fairy tale, a fantasy world, and the mechanism is not so magical.
Like this stone gate, that is, to control the stone gate through the mechanism, retreat in or down.
Zhang Junping set his eyes on a stone lion not far from the stone gate.
The stone lion has a high status in Buddhism, he is one of the auspicious beasts that ward off evil spirits, and there is nothing surprising to see a stone lion in the temple of Wuran.
However, the stone lion was placed in the wrong place.
Anyone who has known the stone lion knows that the stone lion is a rui beast that guards the door.
Placed here, it obviously has the meaning of guarding the door, and it is naturally this stone gate to guard.
Zhang Junping walked into the stone lion, squatted down, and carefully studied the stone lion.
"Look again and see if there are any stone lions nearby!"
The stone lions are all in pairs, and there is only one here, which is obviously abnormal.
Zhang Junping pondered while reaching out to grope on the stone lion.
Eyes, nose, mouth, limbs, tail, ears, places that may become organs, Zhang Junping touched them all over again, but they were not.
Zhang Junping even reached out to push the body of the stone lion, but it was still not a mechanism.
The family who was looking for another stone lion over there did not find anything, and did not find another stone lion.
"Did the other stone lion fly away?
Damn, do you have to force me to use violent means? Zhang Junping scolded secretly, he was not going to look for it, and arranged for someone to break the door directly and violently.
At this moment, the stone door suddenly shook and creaked, and then opened inward.
As the stone door gradually opened, a stone lion slowly emerged from the ground.
"What's going on?" Zhang Junping was taken aback and asked loudly.
Everyone was a little dazed, not knowing how the stone gate could suddenly open.
"Enlightenment...... The county magistrate, the little one just wanted to check the rockery, pressed a stone, the stone retracted into the rockery, and then the stone door opened! A servant replied nervously.
"Not bad! Thank you for a great job! I will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver and transferred to the Zhuang class as the team leader! Zhang Junping was very happy, and the reward was naturally generous.
As he spoke, the stone door opened completely.
"Be careful, there may be a hidden weapon in there!" Zhang Junping saw that Zhang Ming wanted to go in to explore the way, so he hurriedly explained.
He had been thoroughly impressed by the wisdom of the ancients.
It's actually a chain mechanism.,Control the stone lion through the mechanism on the rockery.。
The stone lion is now, and the stone door is open.
With such an exquisite arrangement of mechanisms, who knows if there will be hidden weapons inside.
This is a thousand-year-old temple that hides too many secrets.
"Lang Jun!" Zhang Ming screamed in surprise.
Zhang Junping followed Zhang Ming's shout, he was also stunned, no wonder Zhang Ming was so out of shape.
I don't know how deep the cave is, but from the outside, you can see that the inside of the cave is full of gold, silver and jewelry.
It's a treasure cave!
Inside the cave, against the wall, wooden boxes are neatly stacked together.
In the middle of the cave, there are many scattered gold, silver and copper coins, piled up like a mountain.
The two family members who regarded death as if they were at home were the first to enter the cave, and after some inspection, there was no imaginary hidden weapon in the cave.
Perhaps the cave was designed by a real monk, who designed the cave only to store food or for the monks in the temple to take refuge.
It's just that it was used by later generations and turned into a treasure cave.
"Lord Qiqi Zhixian, this box is full of gold!"
"Lord Qiqi Zhixian, there are weapons and armor in the box here!"
One by one, the boxes were opened, and the housekeepers who entered loudly reported their findings.
"Bring me the knife!" Zhang Junping commanded.
The housekeeper inside picked up a knife in the box and walked out.
This is a Tang horizontal knife, one of the four systems of Tang knife.
Tang knife four systems, divided into instrument knife, horizontal knife, barrier knife, Mo knife.
The ceremonial knife is slender and gorgeous, and it is mainly used by the Praetorian Guard.
The horizontal knife is an ordinary soldier, which is used by the government to catch quickly, and it is the most widely used.
The barrier sword is a short knife and the predecessor of the Japanese katana.
The Mo knife is a sharp weapon for battlefield fighting, infantry against cavalry.
This is the most common horizontal knife in Zhang Junping's hand in the Tang Dynasty.
The origin of the horizontal knife is not the Tang Dynasty, it should be the Sui Dynasty, and there was already a large-scale horizontal knife equipped with army soldiers during the Sui Dynasty.
A horizontal knife alone is not enough to infer the age of the knife.
But whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the Sui Dynasty, it has been hundreds of years since then.
The knife from hundreds of years ago is still shiny and shiny, without the slightest rust, which shows how exquisite the forging process of this knife is.
Zhang Junping stretched out his hand and flicked it on the blade of the knife, and the blade made a soft sound.
This is the Hundred Refining Treasure Knife that Zhang Junping wants.
"Li Yuanwai, the second requirement I said before is going to be advanced, and your family will be requisitioned now!" Zhang Junping carried the knife and turned his head to the ten masters who were also stunned and said.
The wealth in this cave exceeded Zhang Junping's estimates, and a few hundred troops alone were no longer enough to deal with emergencies.
Zhang Junping requisitioned the family members of the ten major families and ordered people to mobilize the forbidden army.
At this point, the side of the gold and silver mines no longer mattered.
It is true to transfer the forbidden army first and keep the wealth in front of you.
The reason why the old monk Huijue obediently obeyed was that Zhang Junping would not find the cave.
Now, the cave treasure trove has been discovered, and the gold, silver, and copper coins piled up in the middle of the cave alone are as many as millions.
Zhang Junping requisitioned the family members of the ten major families, also to prevent accidents, put them under his nose, and formed a triangular trend with the Xiang army and the forbidden army, supervising and restraining each other.
In this way, whether it is the Xiang Army, or the Forbidden Army, the family members of the ten major families, any idea of wanting to fight the treasure will not work.
Unless three teams join forces.
That can't be, though.
After explaining everything, Zhang Junping walked into the treasure cave.
Zhang Junping didn't pay too much attention to the gold, silver and copper coins, but came to the place where the weapons and armor were stored.
Zhang Junping casually opened a wooden box, and inside was a set of well-preserved Mingguang armor.
Among the thirteen armors of the Tang Dynasty, Mingguang armor ranked first!
