Chapter 86 (13) The Treasure of the Nation

Hu Xuan's words made people suddenly brightened, and everyone couldn't help but get excited, and they got up one after another, looking for the layout and traces of the rocks on the ground. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, although there are many rocks on the slope, it is not easy to find the origin, there are some traces, because of the age, it is difficult to judge, fortunately, there are many people, Hu Bolt delineates the approximate range, everyone looks for it separately, and when the two teas are held, they found signs.

On the empty field where Shi Suo, Yuan Zuo and others gathered that night, there was a lying cow boulder.

This lying cow stone is about a zhang long, I am afraid that it will not weigh thousands of catties, Shi Suo still remembers that that night, Hong Lingzi also jumped up and scolded the other party. He saw Hu Bolt circling around the stone, patted the rough surface of the stone with his hand, and said, "You mean that this stone has a doorway?" ”

"Hmm." Hu Xuan agreed, "You see, this stone is very big, when it is not right, it is not right, it is placed in this empty field, if it was operated in the quarry back then, wouldn't it be very obstructive?" In ancient times, people moved stones, and needed to use wood to make rollers, and move them down the mountain little by little. ”

"Get out of the way." Shi Suo said eagerly.

The people present, except for Hu Bolt, are all martial arts masters, everyone quickly found some thick branches as a bar, on the platform of building a temple, there are some shovels, iron drills and other tools, the stone lock first dug a ditch on one side of the big cow stone, and then everyone lined up on the other side, stretched the iron drill wooden stick under the boulder, shouted, and worked together to pry.

Slowly, under the pry of several strong men, the boulder moved.

As soon as the stone was crooked, Hu Xuan and Dafeng and others stuffed the stone under the stone to consolidate the results, and then everyone pried again, the time was not big, the big stone was crooked sideways, and fell into the ditch dug by the stone lock, "boom", the stone fell to the side, and smashed up a cloud of dust and smoke.

Underneath the boulder, a hole is exposed.

A musty smell gushed out from below, and Hu Shuan asked everyone to hide to the side, "Be careful, if the bottom is not breathable, it will be stuffy for a long time, and the gas inside will be toxic." ”

After a while, when the mountain wind blew away the musty smell, Hu Bolt lit a branch, stretched into the hole and shook it, and the fire on the tree was not extinguished, so he held the branch and walked slowly to the cave. Shi Suo and the others followed him closely, and in the cave, there were irregular stone stairs leading to the diagonal bottom.

Jiang Yu Niang was careful, took a few more branches, lit two torches, and walked in front with Hu Shu, several torches, illuminating the stone cave below.

Diagonally down dozens of steps away, then arrived at a large cave hall more than ten zhang square, rectangular, the four walls are all traces of artificial excavation, just like the house built, the top of the cave, the wall of the cave are square, the iron brazing imprints on the stone wall one by one, both regular and uniform, the stone lock praised: "The stone house here is really good, how to chisel so neatly." What he said caused an echo in the cave.

"This is the wisdom of the ancients," Hu Xuan said: "digging a big hole for quarrying, not only to protect the outside environment, but also to mine out the stones, are neatly uniform, with artificial cutting into a piece, than from the outside of the chiseling, in fact, the work efficiency is much higher, when they are quarrying, just like cutting tofu, a piece cut out, and then cut down a piece, not only do not waste resources, but also improve the quality of the finished product." ”

Everyone tried to move forward step by step, this stone hall, there is a portal on the stone wall next to it, leading to other cave halls, the hole is set in the hole, forming a chain of holes, everyone is amazed, and groped forward.

It can be seen that the ancients picked a hall, then left a part of the stone as a "wall", and then went to dig out a cave hall, each cave hall, is square, straight and straight. Some places are damp and mossy, while others are very dry, and the iron drill marks are as if they had just been constructed yesterday.

"Here," Dafeng shouted as he held up his torch and hummed beside him.

On the side, a long, arched stone door leads to another black hollow, and in the light of torches, something seems to glitter. It's like a dark night, and the stars jumping out of the canopy of the sky are shining brightly.

Everyone's heartbeat accelerated, and even people like Gai Tou and Jiang Yuniang, who are usually old and serious, were so excited that they followed Dafeng and ran into the side hole. Several torches, all held high, illuminated the side hole.

This is a square cave hall more than one zhang high, there are more than 30 steps in length and width, inside, there are piles of large and small dusty wooden boxes, many wooden boxes are rotten, the wood chips decay into gray black, collapse to the ground, the contents of the inside are exposed, some are crooked, scattered on the ground, covered with thick dust. The entire cave hall is filled with an air of silence, a kind of silence that has been sealed in history for hundreds of years. The changes in the outside world have nothing to do with here. For hundreds of years, darkness and silence have quietly accompanied these aged wooden boxes through the long river of time.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the scene in front of them, except for the slight beating of torches. Under the dust, there are some strangely shaped jade vessels, with a soft light under the firelight, some gray-white carved products, which can vaguely be seen to be ivory, and some statues covered with dust, which cannot be seen to be made of what material, the shape is strange, like a god with grinning teeth, and like a deified animal, which reminds people of the ancient beliefs and customs of ancient people. A few scimitars, because the box was rotten, were scattered on the ground, the handles were black and gray, and some of the ornaments had rotted away, but the blades were not rotten, and they were shining.

Hu Xuan handed the torch in his hand to Chen Peng next to him, and slowly walked forward, he gently stroked a box, and after he touched it lightly, a corner fell silently, as soft as tofu.

"Be careful," Chen Peng reminded, "It's all rotten, be careful." ”

"Don't worry, Xiaohu is our archaeological expert." Jiang Yuniang said softly.

Hu Shuan straightened his waist and breathed a sigh of relief, "I have to tidy up well, but the conditions in this cave are very good, and the iron tools can be preserved, and the stone and jade tools are no problem." ”

"Sure enough, it's a treasure," said Gai with satisfaction, "I have roughly counted the chests, about a hundred, not as many as the legend suggests, but this is enough to shock the world." ”

The wooden box that had been touched off the corner by Hu Bolt just now, revealing a bulging thing inside, because it was placed in the box, there was no dust on it, dark green, flashing a faint dark light, Shi Suo asked: "Hu Bolt, what is that?" Jade? ”

"No, it's a stone statue, something that ancient people put in the temple." (To be continued.) )
