Chapter 77: Treasure
How many generations of the Murong family have been married to protect it? Is it to protect yourself? Except for the Guardian, no one in the family knew about this duty. Leaving suddenly, appearing suddenly, getting married suddenly, each of which appears or leaves years or even decades apart, and at one point has to take a boy with good qualifications.
I really don't know how they explained all this to the family, and I really don't know how the Murong family accepted it.
This made Liu Tong feel weird at the same time, and at the same time, he was in awe, if nothing else, just for this promise, even thousands of thousands of pounds, and even thousands of thousands of pounds, which could not even be measured by quantity, this is an infinite spiritual power.
"Senior, what are you guarding when you fall to the ground?"
"Grain, grass and treasures, rich enough to rival the riches of the country!"
"Ah", Liu Tong had also thought before that they might be guarding wealth, but after coming into contact, especially considering this environment, he thought that they were guarding some kind of holy place or something related to Taoism. After all, Taoists don't care about money, and this place doesn't look like a rich place.
"Why did the senior tell me this secret?"
"The ancestors sealed and disposed of this wealth at that time for the sake of the family and the country, and also complied with the decree of Zhao Shengzhen. Now that the prime minister and the champion Hou, as the heirs of Zhao Zhenren, have taken control of the country, and are also trying their best to unify the country and benefit the common people, it is time for the old man to hand it over to you. ”
A huge wealth, is a personal like, now that the princes are divided, the north is not long settled, everywhere to use money, Liu Tong to this unexpected joy, of course welcome.
"Let's go, let's take a look!" Liu Tong was very excited.
Murong Qing nodded to Murong Ran, and Murong Ran immediately got up and walked out of the stone room with Liu Tong and Duan'er to the opposite side.
Came to a stone cave opposite, the stone cave was slightly larger, and the inside was very messy, which was used by them as a kitchen, and some utensils were scattered around. Murong Ran lit the torch on the wall and handed it to Liu Tong. Then he removed the things on a wooden shelf, moved the shelf away, and pushed the stone wall inward, and the stone door moved, and suddenly a hole appeared.
Murong Ran beckoned to Liu Tong, Liu Tong put away his surprise and hurriedly followed. Murong Ran was in front, and Liu Tong followed closely with Duan'er. The three of them walked up the stone steps, and after walking about twenty steps, they came down the stone steps to a stone wall. Murong Ran still pushed the stone wall, and the stone door opened.
I saw another huge karst cave unfold in front of me. Murong Ran picked up a loose handle from the root of the wall, lit it on the torch in Liu Tong's hand, and continued to walk forward. Liu Tong looked carefully, this cave was not much different from the previous cave, but it kept falling. The further the people walked, the lower the terrain became, and the temperature became lower and lower.
After entering the big karst cave, there are no stone steps, several people walk forward on the uneven ground, after walking for a while, Liu Tong saw that there is a slope on the left to go up, but the high place is not connected to the top of the cave, it seems that there is no cave, so he walked there.
"Master Hou, go this way." Murong Ran discovered Liu Tong's whereabouts and shouted a little anxiously.
Liu Tong heard his eager voice, which aroused his curiosity even more. Pedaling up quickly, Duan'er was standing in place waiting for Liu Tong, who was leaving the route, and also hurriedly walked up when he saw this.
After Liu Tong climbed up, he saw that there was an irregular spindle space below, and there seemed to be some dry firewood placed at random below, which was covered with dust.
Duan'er came up and looked at it curiously, and suddenly grabbed Liu Tong's arm, Liu Tong's arm was forced, a little painful, and he was suddenly startled, looked at Duan'er strangely, and asked with an expression.
I saw Duan'er's face was strange, and he lowered his head and said, "How can there be so many dead people?" ”
"Ah", Liu Tong reminded Duan'er, only to find that if the dust is filtered out, the "dry firewood" below does look like a human bone, and if you look closely, you seem to see a lot of skulls! Liu Tong suddenly became terrified, there should be thousands of corpses down here!
At this time, Murong Ran had already stood beside him, and Liu Tong asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" ”
Murong Ran said heavily: "They are all soldiers and captives who built caves and transported goods and food!" ”
Liu Tong nodded, it should be like this, such a secret cave hides this big secret, these people who know the secret still have a way to live? It's just that he doesn't know who executed them, Liu Tong didn't dare to ask, because he still couldn't accept an answer, and he couldn't accept that these people were executed by Zhao Sheng, Cang Chunzi and others.
Murong Ran saw that Liu Tong bowed his head and turned to leave without squeaking, and continued to walk forward, so he also followed.
At this time, the terrain is getting lower and lower, the space is getting smaller and smaller, and the temperature is getting lower and lower. Judging from the trend just now, Liu Tong should have walked from a high place to the surface and walked down for nearly a hundred meters. At this time, the position should be about 100 meters down from the middle of the mountain, and it is not surprising that there is such a temperature.
At this time, a fork appeared in front, and Liu Tong stopped.
Seeing this, Murong Ran squeezed past Liu Tong and walked to the left, "Master Hou walks to the left, and the right side is the previous exit, and the exit is the blocked place that I saw at the bottom of the mountain before." ”
Liu Tong finally had a sense of direction at this time, and he had already walked a long way from the cliff to here, and if he came in from a blocked place, he must have traveled less than a third of the way.
After walking for a while, I came to a larger space again, and came in through the aisle, this time there was no stone gate or anything like that.
Suddenly, Liu Tong's eyes lit up, because in the light of the torches, Liu Tong saw a lot of wooden boxes stacked along the left and right stone walls, and there were iron sheets and rivets at the corners of the boxes. Could it be that there is a so-called treasure inside!
Seeing Liu Tong's expression, Murong Ran immediately went over and opened the outermost two boxes, only to see that one box was full of jade, and the other box was filled with gold cakes!
Liu Tong was stunned, only to see that such boxes stretched along the stone wall inside, and there were thousands of them! What a fortune this must be! Liu Tong and Duan'er also wanted to open a few boxes, but except for the boxes near them, which were not locked, the other boxes were locked, and although the seals had long been differentiated, the faint traces could still be seen.
Murong Ran saw that the two of them were embarrassed to start fumbling with the boxes, so he said, "Master Hou, it's okay to open them, the boxes outside have already been used up by us." ”
Murong Ran saw that Liu Tong not only didn't open it, but also stopped it, so he said again: "We need to buy a lot of our living expenses from outside, and grandpa said that this is allowed." ”
Of course, Liu Tong knows that their ancestors and grandchildren are guarding here, there is no need to make extraneous branches for life, and it is very small to use some property, Zhao Sheng and others are estimated to have ordered it like this, if they have no source of livelihood and make a living everywhere, maybe there will be some accidents. Therefore, it is the safest way to stay here and use the money here to buy supplies to live.
The reason why I don't open it myself is because there is no need to inspect it! Their ancestors and grandchildren can stick to it for a hundred years, what else can't be believed! I stopped because I was shocked!
Liu Tong ignored Murong Ran and continued along the road in the aisle formed by the box.
Further on, there were stone steps, and the stone steps rose, and the smell of sake mixed with musty smells permeated the air, and there was such a smell before, but it was not so strong.
Coming to a platform, Liu Tong was stunned by the scene in front of him. I saw that a large platform was actually a larger cave, but the terrain was a little higher. And in this huge cave, there are some sacks of grain, grass and burlap piled up all over the space! Because of the weathering, many of the bags have been crushed, and the blackened particles are scattered below, forming a hill-like pile of grain.
Corn, it's all corn, it's a miracle that after a hundred years, the corn hasn't rotten!
Liu Tong walked over quickly, picked up the black corn, the corn was cold, Liu Tong pinched it with all his strength, and immediately became a powder, no longer the appearance of the original grain, Liu Tong opened the corn pile, found that some were crushed, and some rice worms could be seen everywhere!
Hehe, this is not food anymore! Even if it is stored at low temperature, it has been too long, and these grains have already turned into dusty things, but they are just a superficial thing!
Liu Tong looked at this mountain of grain, and his heart ached! It's been too long! So much food was wasted in vain!
"That's all you eat?" Liu Tong turned his head and asked!
"No, we have been buying food from outside since I was sensible, and my grandfather said that he ate it when he was a child!"
"Well, why do you stay here? Just take the treasure home and keep it, so why suffer here? ”
"Grandpa said he couldn't leave no matter what! This is also the reason why Grandpa is in a hurry to find you, because in a few days all this grain will turn to dust, and our ancestors and grandchildren will not be able to make a difference! ”
After hearing this, Liu Tong had to be silent-
