Chapter 67 Buying and Returning the Pearl

Although Tasim was also very excited, he still wanted to hit Shakru, so he said: "Yes, yes, yes, my dear Shakru, you are right, but everything is still uncertain until we see the treasure, let's go in and have a look and then talk about it!" ”

At this time, Shakru gradually calmed down, and did not immediately take people into the passage, but cautiously let people get the blower in first, and poured a lot of fresh air into the passage, after all, this passage has been blocked by boulders for hundreds of years, and the air quality inside must be very poor, and it is easy to have a situation if you rush in.

After entering the air, a group of people waited for the bright light to enter the passage, but fortunately, it didn't take long for everyone to find a huge stone room, and then everyone was stunned by everything in front of them!

Because there are treasures here, and there are more treasures than anyone could have imagined, and everyone's eyes are dazzled by the golden light that glistens in the bright light. Although there are countless gold ornaments and diamond jewelry here, they are not stacked in a disorderly manner like in film and television dramas or cartoons, but are placed in a regular manner. (I've always wanted to complain about this, how can the treasure room of a really rich person be placed in a mess, which is not sightful and not conducive to inventory and access, it is not reasonable at all!) )

At the door of the chamber are two elephants made of gold and tall enough to be man-high, and in the center of the chamber is a three-and-a-half-foot-high statue of Lord Vishnu, in front of which are three crowns of pure gold decorated with various precious stones, and behind the crowns are ten lamps made of pure gold; To the left of the idol were hundreds or thousands of long, thick (how strange the adjective looks) gold chains stacked neatly; The right side of the idol is divided into small pieces of various diamond jewels in small areas; Behind the statue is a mountain of gold coins, all of which are from the East India Company period.

This massive wealth suddenly shocked everyone, and it took a long time for everyone to recover, and Tasim grabbed Shakru and shouted excitedly: "Hey, Shakru, you, you really helped me find the treasure!" ”

Shakru patted him very calmly and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, there are a total of six secret rooms, this is just one opened, let's continue next, maybe there will be bigger surprises later." ”

Tasim replied again and again: "That's right, that's right, there is still the Infernal Treasure Room waiting for us, come, boys, let's continue to work, rest assured, this time everyone's wages will be doubled!" ”

Shakru glanced at him: "You give you double the money?" ”

Tasim patted his chest and said, "I'll give it, such a large amount of treasure has been discovered, can I still miss that little salary?" ”

In the next few hours, the group opened two more secret rooms, which were still full of all kinds of treasures, but the gold and silver ornaments began to decrease, and most of them were extremely fine ancient Indian art.

Not long after dinner that day, Shakru came to Tasim's room and said to Tasim with a serious face: "Mr. Valma, although only three secret rooms have been opened now, I guess you are very satisfied with this harvest. ”

Tasim replied enthusiastically: "Satisfied, quite satisfied, speaking of which, this time it is really thanks to you Shakru, otherwise these treasures don't know how long they will have to stay underground." ”

Shakru was not infected by Tasim's enthusiasm, but said calmly: "If you are satisfied, then I can collect my share now, right?" ”

Tasim asked very strangely: "Shakru, why are you in a hurry now, aren't there still three secret rooms that have not been opened, is there anything wrong with those three secret rooms?" ”

Shakru shook his head and said: "What can I say, all the secret room cracking methods are the same, you see that the distribution we opened today is A, C, D three secret rooms, without any rules, the result of the cracking method is not the same, isn't it full of treasures." ”

"Well, that's right. But now that all of the secret rooms have been opened, the total value of the treasures cannot be calculated. Tasim asked, still puzzled.

Shakru pondered for a moment, and then said: "I have calculated, I only need those gold chains in the first secret room, and I don't want anything else, even if it is a rough estimate, these gold chains are less than one-tenth of today's harvest, so you will definitely not suffer." ”

Tassim was surprised by Shakru's words, and the reason for his surprise was not that Shakru wanted too much, but that he wanted too little, he had thought that Shakru would have the jeweled statue of Lord Vishnu or other antique artwork, but he did not expect that he would ask for hundreds of gold chains with no added value.

Although from today's rough statistics, the value of these gold chains is also close to one-tenth of the total, but the problem is that the value of other treasures is only calculated according to their material, and their artistic value and research value are not added, if they are taken out for auction, then the price will at least increase several times, Shakru's approach is obviously stupid to the extreme, according to the words of the Chinese, isn't this just buying pearls?

So Tasim frowned and asked, "Shakru, are you sure you only need these golden chains?" I kindly remind you that the statues and jewels are worth even more. ”

"I naturally know this, but those things belong to your Varma family, and they all have the mark of your family on them, and it doesn't look good for me to take them, but these gold chains are different, there are no marks on them, and it won't have any impact if I take them.

Also, say another word that might hurt feelings. Today is only the first day that we came to dig the secret room, and the manpower we both brought is about the same, but you have already said when you disbanded just now, you will send people from the family to guard and sort out these treasures, and when your manpower is ready, I am worried that you will directly turn your face and deny people, so it is better to take a batch of things safely and securely now, and then drive away directly, me and my people only need the golden chains of this truck, and the rest will all belong to you."

Before Shakru could finish speaking, Tasim stood up very dissatisfied and defended: "Shakru, it's too hurtful for you to say that, right?" How could I, the Varmar family, be one of the best families in Kerala, do such a life-saving thing? ”
