Chapter 147: A Million Treasures Underground Arsenal
Xiao Xiong's words made Jiang Donghai excited. He thought to himself: Since the Shu family has dug this underground cave, it must be of his use. We didn't find anything in the hole above, so we might be able to find the treasure in this hole.
So, the clever Jiang Donghai began to take a closer look at this huge cave. Standing in the position of the sarcophagus, he found that there were several caves of various sizes in the cave, and that the underground river was flowing along the largest cave. With his instincts, he went to the nearest small but highest cave, climbed the rocks, and climbed up.
Jiang Donghai climbed the slippery stalactites and climbed to the entrance of the cave that was only half a person high, and could only be entered by one person. He lit a torch and pushed forward. He had only advanced more than 10 meters, and suddenly, three dark red porcelain jars appeared side by side in front of him, each porcelain jar was almost three feet high, and their bellies were very large, and an adult could only hold it with both hands, and the openings of the porcelain jars were all tightly sealed.
He suddenly felt unusually excited, so he lowered his head, bent over, and hurriedly walked over.
Before coming to the porcelain jars, he tried to move them, but he used all his strength to pull the porcelain jars, and the strange thing was that the three porcelain jars did not move at all, as if they were growing on the ground.
Jiang Donghai hurriedly retreated to the entrance of the cave and shouted excitedly to Xiao Xiong under the cave:
"Commander Xiao, come and see! Three large porcelain jars were found here, which were too heavy. I can't move any of them. ”
"Hulala". And all the people ran over. Several members of the team with greater strength hurriedly climbed up. Together, they carried the porcelain jar to the entrance of the cave first, and then the team members below took it.
Three porcelain jars were placed in front of everyone. Xiao Xiong did not rush to open them, but first carefully observed them around the three porcelain jars for a while, and flicked the surface of the jars with his fingers, because the porcelain jars were full of things, and the sounds they made were dull and uncrisp.
Xiao Xiong asked the team members to wipe the outside of the porcelain jar clean with a gun cloth, and at this time, everyone saw it. The porcelain jar, which was not at all inconspicuous just now, presents a brilliant scene at this time, which is very beautiful. Everyone couldn't help but be amazed.
Xiao Xiong squatted down, held a torch, and examined the three porcelain jars carefully.
I saw that the more Xiao Xiong looked at it, the more surprised he became, and he kept caressing these porcelain jars with his hands, as if caressing a baby. Everyone looked at Xiao Xiong's expression, but the more they looked at it, the more confused and dazed they became.
Wang Xiaofei couldn't help it and said:
"Commander, open the porcelain jar and see what treasure is hidden in it. What's the point of those broken porcelain jars? ”
Xiao Xiong shook his head. Stood up and said:
"You really don't understand, the value of these porcelain jars is no worse than the treasures inside."
"What do you say? No way. Isn't this what we use to hold water and grain? Is it worth that much? Impossible. I've got a couple of them in my house. ”
"Can you compare to them in your home? This is something from the Tang Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago. If I'm not mistaken, these things are the porcelain that Jingdezhen fired to pay tribute to the emperor back then. You see, this one is celadon, and these two are white porcelain. Originally, there were very few celadon firing back then, and the main tribute was given to the palace, but the Shu family didn't know what magical powers they had, and there was even a royal product used by the emperor. These three porcelain jars, if they are sold on the market now, it is estimated that the price will not be less, and it will certainly not be worse than the famous 'Tang Sancai'. If the little devils find out, they have to do everything they can to rob it. ”
Historically, Jingdezhen's ceramics were famous not only in the Song Dynasty, but also as early as the Tang Dynasty. The emperor once ordered that the famous celadon and white porcelain porcelain products fired in Jingdezhen should be sent into the palace for royal use. At that time, celadon was burned less, and now it is mainly some white porcelain that remains.
Liu Zongyuan, a great writer of the Tang Dynasty, in the eighth year of Yuanhe (813 AD), wrote an article on "Generations of People Entering Porcelain" for Raozhou Thorn Shi Yuan Cui. In "Into the Porcelain Shape", Jingdezhen porcelain is praised, "Hetai and Harmony are fused, Kebao is steadfast, and there is no sound of the tile kettle, which is called the virtue of Tu Quan". He said that the quality of Jingdezhen Tang Dynasty porcelain is like a chime.
Everyone finally understood why Xiao Xiong was so surprised. Unexpectedly, the treasure of the Shu family is not only well hidden, but also contained in such a precious porcelain jar. It's inside and out, but it's all treasures.
It is really not easy to open this porcelain jar, and the porcelain jar is very well sealed. Maybe there must have been some way for the Shu family to open it easily.
Under the guidance of Xiao Xiong, the team members carefully used a very sharp hunting knife made of stainless steel to pry off the sealing mud on the mouth of the porcelain cylinder little by little.
When everyone opened the lid, they were stunned by what was hidden inside. The three porcelain jars were filled with three jars of gold, and because of the good preservation, the pieces of gold were still as golden as when they were put in.
Xiao Xiong estimated that the market value of these gold should be more than one million US dollars, which means that if you use them to buy airplanes, you can buy more than a dozen planes.
None of the people said anything at this time, and no one present had ever seen so many treasures, and everyone didn't know what to say for a while. What flashes in most people's minds is: this is a fortune, a fortune!
Xiao Xiong stood up, looked at everyone with a smile, and said wittily:
"Do you think we've gotten rich, and we've made a fortune? If we divide the gold, each of us will become a rich man. Buying a house, buying land, marrying a wife, there is everything. Isn't it? ”
Some of the team members' faces were flushed, and they didn't dare to speak.
The smile on Xiao Xiong's face disappeared, and he said to everyone seriously:
"Yes, brethren, this gold is what we have found, but it belongs to the state, and no one dares to take possession of it alone. At this critical moment when the country's survival is at stake, every penny must be used in the face of the anti-Japanese devils. We will give all this money to the state, and the state will use it to buy airplanes. Buy cannons. Buy everything you need. Used to fight the little devils. In this way, we have once again contributed to the country. Brethren, do you understand? ”
"Understood!" There was a very solemn look on everyone's faces.
"Our next task is to find a way to get this gold to the rear. I used it to buy the necessities of the anti-Japanese resistance earlier, and the country needs it now! ”
Xiao Xiong turned to Jin Biao and said:
"Brother Jin Biao, these things may have been left by your ancestors, but they are at the time of national crisis. The little devils are still occupying our homes, slaughtering our fathers and brothers, ravaging and insulting our mothers and sisters, do you agree with what I do? ”
Jin Biao looked at the body of his father lying not far away, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said:
"Commander, you're right, as long as these things are beneficial to the devils, you can deal with it as you like. However, I can't stay in Maoshan anymore. In the future, I will follow you to kill devils. Good no good? ”
Xiao Xiong patted Jin Biao's shoulder and nodded repeatedly: "Good brother!" ”
Xiao Xiong called Wang Xiaofei, Li Minghua and Jin Biao aside again, and then looked at his watch. He whispered a few commands to them. He then walked up to them and commanded loudly:
"All of them! Except for Wang Xiaofei, Li Minghua and Jin Biao, the others immediately set off with me, and we are going to find a new exit and strive to highlight the encirclement of the devils before dawn. Let's go! ”
Let go of Li Minghua first, and the three of them will not show it. The group followed Xiao Xiong all the way to search and advance.
Xiao Xiong did not blindly move forward, the watch compass in Xiao Xiong's hand told him that this underground river was flowing in the northeast direction, and they were walking east along the underground river.
The cave is very long, and since you walk along an underground river, the road is tortuous and bumpy, but it also saves you the trouble of finding a route. So, the journey was relatively smooth.
They had walked more than ten miles, and they were already very tired from tossing and turning from morning to midnight. Xiao Xiong asked everyone to rest for a while.
As soon as the team members heard the order to rest, they all lay down, straightened their bodies, and slept on the ground on their backs, talking nonsense.
Suddenly, Liu Junshan suddenly turned over and got up, and there was a "shhh" sound from his mouth, and the brothers lying on the ground didn't know what was going on, so they immediately shut up and didn't dare to speak.
Liu Junshan hurriedly came to Xiao Xiong's side and pointed to the top of the cave for Xiao Xiong to see. Seeing that Xiao Xiong didn't notice anything unusual, he extinguished a few torches. Immediately the cave darkened a lot.
At this time, Xiao Xiong and everyone noticed that a round spot appeared on the top of the cave that was not too bright. This startled Xiao Xiong. He also hurriedly asked everyone to stop talking, and carefully checked the source of the light. After a while, he noticed that the spot of light was coming from the left. However, he looked at his watch, and it was only two o'clock in the evening, and it was still very early before dawn. Where did that spot come from?
It's just weird.
Xiao Xiong made a gesture, and he asked Liu Junshan to take someone to the stone wall on the left to check it out and see what was going on.
Liu Junshan and his two team members quietly came to the front of the stone wall on the left, and they carefully inspected the stone wall, only to see that there was a smooth stone wall in front of them, without a single gap. He motioned for the two team members to squat down, and he stepped on their shoulders and stood up against the stone wall, his head almost touching the roof of the cave.
He walked slowly along the stone wall, all eyes on him. Suddenly, he patted the head of the team at his feet and motioned for them to stop.
I saw Liu Junshan leaning his face against the stone wall, as if he was looking at something. After a while, he jumped down and walked in front of everyone. With a happy face, he said to Xiao Xiong:
"Commander, we are really lucky, we picked up three jars of gold just now......" Xiao Xiong hurriedly covered his mouth, and then said to everyone:
"In the future, no one will be allowed to mention the matter of gold, understand?"
"Yes." Everyone replied softly.
"Commander, guess what I saw?" He lowered his voice and pointed to the left, "We're rich again, this is a military warehouse for devils!" There's everything in there! Alas, it's just that I'm really hungry, I saw a lot of cans, cigarettes, and so on, and I'm dying of hunger now. You said that when you see these, you can't see it, you can only see it, you can't eat it! Hey, but I didn't see any devils in there. ”
"Military warehouses? That is, we are almost at the exit. All right! Xiao Xiong was very happy, he didn't care about the military warehouse first, but called everyone up, and immediately walked to the front.
Sure enough, after only walking more than ten meters, I saw a bright light in front of me. Everyone rushed forward, and found that there was no road ahead, and saw an underground river flowing out of a hole. There was a gap more than a foot high above the opening.
Lao Zhong looked at Xiao Xiong and said:
"I'll take a look outside the cave." So saying, he took off his clothes and went into the water and swam out of the hole. After a while, he swam back from the mouth of the cave.
When he came ashore, he said in a muffled voice:
"You can go out here, the devil is on the left, that is upstream, surrounded by barbed wire, on the right is downstream, the river flows along the side of the mountain, there are a lot of miscellaneous trees outside the entrance of the cave, and you can't see the entrance to the cave outside."
"Great! This is really God's eyes, and God is also helping us. ”
Xiao Xiong then led the group back to the place where the light had just been found. He himself climbed the stone wall and carefully examined the situation.
He went down to the ground and walked some way before everyone could light the torches. He picked up a rock, drew a map underground, and explained the terrain here. (To be continued......)
