Chapter 149: The Box
Half an hour later, I looked at the front from a distance and saw a little light faintly!
My footsteps stopped abruptly, and my face suddenly turned white.
If I were somewhere else, I would be ecstatic to see this light, but in the current environment, seeing the light in front of me is not necessarily a good thing.
This is the bottom of the lake, and it is very deep, and there are caves and rocks buried in the bottom of the lake to block the light.
It stands to reason that no matter how strong the light from the outside is, there shouldn't be light to see here.
According to the path I had taken when I was going, I should not have risen much in height from the level I had just taken as my base.
If there is light ahead, it either means that it leads to a certain diving area in Poyang Lake, or that there is something in front of it.
Taking a deep breath, he quickly pulled out the knife of Baitang Pear, and immediately stiffened his head, moving towards the place where the light was located step by step.
Faintly, I had an extremely uneasy feeling, and in a vague way, I already felt that the front was probably not as simple as an exit.
Although I had some ominous premonitions in my heart, I still hoped that the light in front of me would be the direction of the exit.
I slowly walked along the tomb path, the light in front of me getting brighter and brighter, and as I went, my eyes narrowed slightly, as if I saw the outline of the exit not far away.
By the time I was getting faster and faster, after three or two minutes, I was out of the tunnel.
As I expected, the light in front of me was not the light from the outside world.
In my line of sight, a small space appeared, a small stone chamber completely dug out of the rock wall.
The style is exactly the same as before, the stone chamber is completely integrated, and the area is only about 30 square meters, opposite the passage I came from, opposite the passage.
In the middle of this stone room, an octagonal box the size of a human head is placed in the middle, and the walls on all four sides are inlaid with round gems the size of fists at different heights.
There is a warm glow on these round gemstones, and the light I have seen before should be the light emitted by these gemstones.
If I am not mistaken, these gems should be the pearls of the night, and they are the best pearls of the night to produce the brilliance of the moon.
These orbs are truly priceless, perhaps even more valuable than the treasures we took out of the coffin before!
The walls around this place are the same as before, and they are also in this overall structure, not like there is some hidden mechanism, and all the night pearls are inlaid in the walls.
The most likely place to hide the mechanism in the whole room is the octagonal box in the middle, and this octagonal box is distributed on top of it, with a total of five layers, each layer decreasing, like a pagoda.
It seems that a faint sound can be heard from inside the octagonal box.
Even though I don't know about these treasures and the like, when I saw this box, it was obvious that this box was not simple.
After a moment's hesitation, I ignored the night pearl inlaid on the wall for a moment, and slowly stretched out my hand to the box in the middle of the stone room.
When I reached for the box, I realized that the box was not connected to the ground, but was placed on the ground like an ornament.
This ornament is not heavy, and it is easy to pick up this ornament.
When the octagonal box was held in my hand, my eyes looked up and down the box.
Each layer of the box is movable, and it is clear that this box is an extremely elaborate mechanism box, and even the craftsmanship shown on this box alone is stronger than the box with white powder we have seen before.
Although each layer of the box can be turned, the gaps in each layer are pitifully small, and from my naked eye, it is estimated that the blade of a thin paper cutter must be used to penetrate a little.
I slowly opened the backpack I was carrying and put the box in it safely, and at the same time I took out a knife and began to walk to the edge of the surrounding walls, slowly scraping the night pearls on the walls with the knife in my hand.
The night pearl on this wall is worth a lot of money, of course I have no reason to give up, the short knife in my hand moves quickly, although the night pearl inlay is relatively dead, but it is not that there are no gaps to prie.
After a little activity, I peeled off these night pearls from the wall one by one.
In the process, there were no triggers or other dangers, but I was relieved for a long time.
Then a flash of joy flashed across my face, and in this way, this time I got a lot of gain, there were 16 night pearls in this whole stone room, and all of them were in excellent condition, and they were placed in the dim tomb like a bright moon.
In such a condition, if you take it out, it is estimated that there are millions of night pearls alone, which is different from most of the night pearls in circulation on the market now.
The night pearl here, planing off its own existence value, there is a very high historical value, more importantly, this is the night pearl is not like the night pearl artificially processed now, the night pearl here can be said to have not been processed by modern technology, the only processing is the first step of excavation.
At present, most of the night pearls on the market often have red areas on the surface, which is because the natural raw materials are processed by modern high temperature and high pressure, but even such night pearls have a diameter of 100mm and are as high as tens of thousands.
Not to mention that this is the night pearl is buried in the tomb buried for thousands of years, without the polishing of modern technology, it is almost a pure natural night pearl, and the market value is definitely more than 100 times that processed by modern technology.
What's more, these night pearls were discovered by me alone, and even if they meet when the time comes, the distribution ratio will definitely be adjusted in this aspect.
I stuffed 16 night pearls into my bag, and my bag was already bulging, and with the treasure I had found out of the coffin before, my bag had long been out of place.
I let out a long sigh and began to clean up the contents of the package, except for a multi-purpose folding shovel, a knife from Baitang Pear, a compass handed down from my ancestors, and the two books I had brought with me, the rest of the things were thrown out by me.
