Chapter 179: Entering the Pile Warehouse for the First Time
Ma Degui seemed to think for a while, and then asked, "Yuxi, the secret and key to this library are in your hands, what do you think?" ”
"I don't have any ideas yet. The chief of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info suddenly told me about this object, and I really didn't know what to do. After all, this pile is an ownerless wealth, and it has also attracted the attention of many people, and it is still unknown whether it can be guaranteed or not. ”
Dong Shuhuai said: "In my opinion, we still have to solve the matter of why we want to protect this wealth first, and then solve the matter of how to protect it." ”
Liang Yuxi nodded: "That's what I mean, so I also ask Uncle Ma and Big Brother to come up with ideas and think of a way." ”
Ma Degui: "The Void Seal Daoist has gone this way, and I don't know how many years it will take to meet." He was at ease, and threw the stall to the three of us. I see, this treasury originally came from the people, and although it is now an ownerless wealth, it should be returned to the people after all. ”
Dong Shuhuai: "Well, that makes sense. What is taken from the people and returned to the people, as it should be. ”
Liang Yuxi: "I also agree with Uncle Ma's statement, as for how to pay it back, I think it should be considered in the long run, after all, it is not charity and charity." Three times five divided by two, the silver was scattered. It's simple, and we have a false name, but it's not the best for the people. ”
Ma Degui: "Yuxi said it well. The county government watched this wealth closely, and then it could be used to dredge water conservancy and improve fields, and it could also help the poor and help the old and weak. ”
Dong Shuhuai: "Having said that, we talked so much about this silver, I don't know how much it is, whether it is really as rumored, there are tens of millions of taels." ”
Liang Yuxi smiled: "It's not simple, let's go to Nanshan Temple tonight." ”
That night, the three of them took the official errand to the ruins of Nanshan Temple. Obviously, the officials were guarding everywhere, and then the three of them went to the location of the Scripture Pavilion.
Liang Yuxi took out the waist of the ivory carving and said with emotion: "This thing is so ordinary, I didn't expect it to be a secret key." There is a way that people die for money, and its whole body is stained with human blood. May we be worthy of it and not let this wealth fall into the hands of the greedy. ”
Dong Shuhuai pointed to the ivory carving: "How should this object be used?" ”
Liang Yuxi shook his head, "The Void Seal Dao Chief didn't elaborate, he only said that it was in the Scripture Pavilion, and I didn't have time to ask about the specific location." ”
Ma Degui: "Then let's split up and look in the ruins." ”
So the three of them began to search in the ruins of the Scripture Pavilion, looking for a floor or stone foundation with a key fit. Also, the moonlight this night is also bright, and you can see it clearly without a torch.
But after the three of them searched around, they still found nothing. Liang Yuxi stood there thinking about it, and always felt that they had not found the right way. If the place is true, this stone foundation has not been burned, and it should be found directly in the Kumen. But the problem now is that if nothing unusual is found, I don't know how to use the key.
All three of them stopped, then sat down and pondered.
Liang Yuxi said while thinking about it: "This Nanshan Temple was burned because someone wanted to burn out of the treasury gate, but in fact, it couldn't be burned. At first, they imagined that no one would enter the warehouse door for a hundred years, which would mean that their family would be cut off, so they cleverly set up a mechanism to let the warehouse door open automatically. That is to say, it is likely that when the pile warehouse was built, there was no Nanshan Temple at that time. Later, after there was Nanshan Temple, it hindered the opening of the Kumen, so it was necessary to burn it. In this way, the key is not on the stone base, because the stone base is also a later thing. Then let's look around the Scripture Pavilion again. ”
The three of them then looked for it near the Scripture Pavilion, but there was nothing special. Just when everyone was a little depressed, Liang Yuxi looked at a well behind the Scripture Pavilion, and said a little strangely: "Eh, this well is a bit strange, there is a well on the hillside?" It's still a good sign, and this well looks older than Nanshan Temple...... Maybe ......"
So, the three of them found torches and ropes, and Liang Yuxi took the lead in tying ropes around his waist, and then went down to the well. There is still some water underneath the well, and the moon can be seen reflected in the well. The bluestone walls of those wells are piled up, but they are not wet, and they are very dry to the touch, which is very different from ordinary wells.
Liang Yuxi descended cautiously, paying attention to the wall of the well. And it didn't take long for a gratifying discovery to be made. In a place on the wall of the well, there is a small place that is recessed, and that place naturally reminds Liang Yuxi of ivory carving. So he took off the ivory carving, and slowly pressed it into the recess, and saw that the bottom of the well began to rattle.
Liang Yuxi said to the two of them in surprise: "Big brother, Uncle Ma, there is a drama in this well." ”
Sure enough, when the water at the bottom of the well slowly disappeared, a hole was revealed. Liang Yuxi slowly descended to the entrance of the cave, only to see that the entrance of the cave could accommodate one person to stand, and there were stone steps down.
Liang Yuxi took the rope around his waist, shook the rope and said, "You guys come down too, there is a hole under here." ”
So, he took the torch and went down. The passage was indeed steep, and it went straight down. It is said that this warehouse is dozens of feet above the ground, just to prevent tomb robbers.
Liang Yuxi walked like this for almost half an hour, very laborious, tired and sweating. When he finally stood down, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw that I was in a huge secret room, which was so big that it could almost fit a Lichun Courtyard. There were still some candlesticks around the secret room, so Liang Yuxi walked over and lit all the candlesticks. After a while, the room was as bright as day.
When he looked back, he saw that the leather boxes around the secret room were stacked together, and he walked into one of them, and when he opened it, he saw that it was full of silver ingots.
This is indeed amazing, if the suitcases in this secret room are full of silver ingots, Liang Yuxi dares to assert that the wealth of this secret room can be at least equivalent to the income of Qinghe County for a hundred years.
Ma Degui and Dong Shuhuai also came down one after another, and they were also shocked by the scene in front of them.
Ma Degui said: "The people of Qinghe County are blessed with this wealth. ”
Dong Shuhuai: "I'm very strange, so much silver, did they carry it down by this narrow passage at that time?" Impossible. ”
Liang Yuxi was also looking around, "Well, I also think it's strange. I dare to assert that there should be an exit, or entrance, to this chamber. ”
So the three of them searched again, but found nothing.
This secret room is obviously not structurally complicated, and it should be obvious if the mechanism is cleverly arranged. But there is another possibility, that is, the secret passage has been sealed because of the silver brought in.
The three of them walked around the secret room for a while, but they couldn't get the essentials, so they had to exit first. Liang Yuxi was also going to find some craftsmen and ask them some tricks about setting up mechanisms. (To be continued.) )
