Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Treasure Cave Forced Palace
Lin Tao was puzzled, "Why didn't Wang Bao, the leader of the CIA and Miao special forces, use this wealth?" You must know that when Wang Bao was in difficulty, he was desperate and had to use opium to pay the soldiers."
Liu Guodong patiently explained, "The people of Baixing have confessed that Wang Bao has never entered this base, and the people under him who have entered the base are all dead. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept sending people to find things here. In addition, the CIA controlled this place, and they would not let Wang Bao get close to the core secrets of the base, and at the same time, they never thought of giving up these things. To this day, they still fund the White Star Army to control this base, which speaks for itself. ”
Xu Tianyi didn't want to dwell on these issues, because they didn't matter anymore. "Army M in the Vietnam War was a sudden defeat, and the troops of the M people and Wang Bao were very wolf when they retreated from Lancang, and they did not have time to transport these things......"
"The Qing Dynasty bought this batch of stones, and the deposit cost 200,000 taels of silver, 200,000 taels of silver is equivalent to how much is it now?" Lin Tao asked.
Liu Guodong said, "According to the conversion in kind, the value of one tael of silver in the middle and late Qing Dynasty is about 200 yuan now, and 200,000 taels is equivalent to about 40 or 50 million yuan." ”
"Alright, boys, this is the end of the historical discussion, let's unravel the mystery that interests you the most!" Xu Tianyi said.
"Wait, Sister Xu, there's another question that I haven't been able to figure out. In winter, the black snake hibernates, and there is no problem for people to enter and exit. But at other times, how did Vic Daoan and Colonel Billy get in? Why don't black snakes eat them? Lin Zhumin asked.
"Rare and weird, do you have a problem with your IQ?" Lin Tao explained, "We all have snake repellent powder equipped by the state, and the French national expedition team, will there be no snake repellent powder?" ”
Liu Guodong shook his head and said helplessly, "The snake repellent powder developed by various countries has similar ingredients in the formula, and it is not completely effective. I have the idea of developing my own snake repellent powder, and the last time Sugong and their research was more effective than that developed by the state. ”
Xu Tianyi smiled and said, "I really let you say it, Old Vic Daoan did record this problem." ”
It turned out that in the process of building the treasure house, the elder Vic Daoan had also considered other places. But when he explored the Black Snake Cave, a strange idea came to him.
He began to develop a snake repellent, and after a few months of experimentation, he found a snake repellent that was more effective than the snake repellent powder produced by Europeans. The Lancang jungle is full of herbs, this kind of medicine, is composed of airplane grass, pepper as the main material, with Chonglou, Angelica, Angelica Angelica, Half Branched Lotus, Wolf Venom, Bone Seeking Wind, etc., a total of more than 20 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine formulas.
Old Vic Daoan once wrote in surprise, "The Lancang jungle is full of treasures, and the snake repellent powder, which is mainly based on airplane grass and pepper, can make snakes and snakes retreat, which is amazing!" ”
"What kind of trick is a pepper, is it a pepper?" Lin Tao asked.
"Yes!" Yingya nodded, "It's the peppers that grow on the trees, and there are places in the jungle." We all use it as a condiment, this thing is so spicy that it can kill people! ”
Lancang grows a woody plant, the pepper tree, called "tree pepper". This pepper grows all year round, and its fruit is a small pepper. The color is blue, the volume is very small, one or two centimeters long, but it is very spicy and powerful. Ordinary people only need to use their tongues lightly, and the strong spicy taste suddenly makes people smoke, their lips tremble, and they don't know what to do.
The mountain people of the Lancang mountain tribes will climb the big tree, sit on the fork of the tree and patiently pick it one by one, then fry it in oil, put it in a glass jar, and marinate it for about half a month before it can be eaten as a condiment.
Looking at the watch, more than an hour has passed by this time. Liu Guodong and Lin Zhumin put on gas masks and entered the cave one after another. The cave wall has iron feet, and it climbs down one by one, about ten meters deep. At the end of the day, it turned out that there was a large secret room below, with hundreds of square meters, and there were indeed heavier discoveries inside.
"Oh my God......"
Under the flashlight, the gold was brilliant, the light was wonderful, Liu Guodong and Lin Zhumin were amazed!
There are more than a dozen large and small golden Buddha and bronze Buddha statues hidden in the secret room, the size is half a person high, and the small one is more than ten centimeters. There are several jade Buddhas, several crowns of pure gold and phoenixes, a large number of ornate gold and silver utensils and various types of jewelry...... In a corner of the basement, there are all kinds of bronze vessels, such as wine vessels such as 斝, 卣 and 罍, food vessels such as ding, 甗 and 簋, water vessels such as 匜 and 盻, as well as a set of incomplete ceremonial instruments such as Chu people's chimes. The gold utensils are mainly tableware, tea utensils, ritual utensils and other living utensils.
Next to these gold, silver, bronze and jade objects, there are two small brocade bags of diamonds, precious stones, and a small pile of ancient paintings.
Liu Guodong picked up a long scroll and slowly unfolded it, only to see that the gold seal clearly wrote "Gu Kaizhi". His eyes widened in surprise, could it be Gu Kaizhi, the saint of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then look at the name of the painting, "Autumn Water Singing Picture". picked up another one casually, and it turned out to be Zhao Ji of the Northern Song Dynasty's "Bianshui Night Banquet". According to the age, it must be obtained from the tomb of the king of Dali.
"My gods, they are all true national treasures!" Liu Guodong looked at these rare treasures, and trembled with excitement for a while.
Looking at the side, there are also a large number of stones of different shapes. The largest is the size of four or five blue balls, and the smallest is the size of a fist. Liu Guodong scraped open one with a diving knife and looked at it, then he screamed, and he couldn't stop inhaling cool air in his mouth. "My God, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone. The superb, high-grade, and superlative of the full water and foot varieties are all the top jade jade rough stones! ”
Liu Guodong, an engineering expert, saw these stones, and he couldn't walk, so he studied them piece by piece. It was Lin Zhumin, who accepted the lesson of not inspecting the bed, and used a flashlight to thoroughly inspect the four walls and floor of the secret room. After being sure that there was no omission, he pulled Liu Guodong back to the ground.
The two returned to the vault and excitedly reported to Xu Tianyi and Yingya. Xu Tianyi smiled happily, "The value of the pile of stones below is probably immeasurable." It's a pity that we can't bring it back, so let's keep it underground forever. ”
"Mr. Xu, eldest sister, don't don't...... You listen to me, you listen to me......" Liu Guodong heard this, like five thunders on the top, he was about to cry in a hurry, and he almost knelt down as soon as his legs were weak.
Everyone looked at Liu Guodong's gaffe in surprise, Xu Tianyi was also stunned for a moment, and said, "It's not easy to transport a large pile of stones back to Banbahang." You stand up straight for me, speak well! ”
Liu Guodong grabbed Xu Tianyi's hand tightly, and said with a crying and pleading, "Sister Xu, Guodong begs you, think of a way...... It's not an ordinary stone, it's a superb jade jade rough stone, there is no one to gamble, it's priceless, immeasurable, you can't give it up......"
Among the four, Xu Tianyi and Yingya are the most assured, it is this Liu Guodong, who is calm and serious, tepid, and smart. Now, his words made Xu Tianyi stunned, what's wrong with this bear child today?
"Why? Is it just because it's precious? Have you ever thought about it, the true value of the jadeite jade rough is to be gambled. It is not easy to have one valuable stone out of a hundred stones. Even if we risk being exposed and shipped back, can you be sure that every stone here will have jadeite in it? ”
Xu Tian has been looking at Liu Guodong, the sharp knife unit known as the country's heavy weapon, could it be a group of "minions" born for money? !
Liu Guodong argued, "Mr. Xu, from ancient times to the present, gambling stones have been popular in the jadeite industry. Indeed, as you said, one of the hundred can bet on it, and it will be issued, and the investment risk is huge. But these stones here do not need to be gambled, they are the masters of the Qing Dynasty have gambled out, and they are 100% non-parallel gemstone gemstones. Let me put it this way, if we need to give it up because we can't transport it, we'd rather not have the gold, the banknotes, the jewels, the artifacts, and make sure we can bring back a few more stones underneath......"
Xu Tian looked at Liu Guodong, who was red-faced, as if he didn't know him, frowned and thought for a while, patted Liu Guodong's shoulder, and held his shoulder with both hands.
"Don't be in a hurry! Alas! You are an engineering expert, you know this, we understand your feelings. Let's think about it again and see if there's a way to get the best of both worlds. These treasures, they originally came from China, let's see if we can try to get as many as possible back. ”
"Mr. Xu, I want to review it with you. The witch also insisted that there was something under the bed, however, we were carried away by the victory and did not search for it properly. If it weren't for you and Sister Yingya's ......" Yu Songyuan chose the wording and reviewed it in an orderly manner.
Xu Tianyi waved his hand, "When anyone has a horse that stumbles and looks away, there is no need to review." Besides, your main task has been overdone. Let's go, take us to see the rest of the catches. ”
After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the outside of the vault. Everyone reluctantly followed out, but Liu Guodong had a bitter face, and couldn't hear Xu Tianyi's affirmative answer, his legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he couldn't move at all.
"Brother Guodong, even if you want to transport it back, you have to go out and find a way!" Yingya took his hand and persuaded. The four members of the team are all her sisters-in-law, and the Lancang people are too polite, so Yingya is more often referred to as their younger brothers.
Liu Guodong's eyes were red, he glared at Xu Tianyi, and said word by word:
"Sister Xu, Guodong said a hard word, but it is also a heartfelt word, don't take it to heart. The country is in ruins, and 186 is short of money even for training. Nagasin was devastated and needed money everywhere. There is something in the stone line, if God does not take it, it will be blamed! This is the territory of the CIA, you must blow up the cave, just don't go...... Gordon is willing to live and die with this batch of jade! ”
"You? Licentious! You're forcing the palace! ”
These words were too much and too heavy, and Xu Tianyi was extremely shocked. "Smack!" She shook her hand and gave Liu Guodong two heavy slaps. She was shocked that her authority had been challenged, and she was even more shocked that this Liu Guodong turned out to be more stubborn!
