Chapter 98: The Treasury is Full of Gold and Silver
Nie Zheng stood at the entrance of the treasure vault.
Looking at the black hole in front of him, he took a deep breath, took the candle flame in his hand, and slowly touched it.
The treasure house of Tiger Village is actually not large.
Nie Zheng only walked forward less than three meters before he saw that the space in front of him suddenly became wider.
With the help of the light of the candle flame, Nie Zheng touched the cave wall of the treasure house, preparing to find the candlesticks inlaid on the cave wall.
According to his understanding, generally this kind of treasure house belongs to the private treasure house of the mountain owner, and in ordinary times, if you make some big business and rob some gold, silver, jewelry and other valuables, you will store them in it.
This treasure house built in the cave of the mountain god is owned by the mountain owners of the Qiu family of the Tiger Village, and it is estimated that it is the same as the Tiger Village, at least a hundred years old.
Since the treasure vault has been built for so many years, it is estimated that ordinary Qiu Xiaotian has not been in and out of the ordinary, so in order to facilitate access, Qiu Xiaotian will definitely install many lighting facilities in the treasure house.
For example, those common candlesticks and ever-bright lamps should be found inside.
Thinking of this, Nie Zheng was patient and searched silently in the treasure house.
If he didn't light the candlesticks around the treasure house, the light was not enough with the candle in his hand, and it was not very convenient to do things with the candle in his hand all the time.
Finally, with the help of the dim candle flame in his dark hand, it took Nie Zheng a long time to slowly find the six candlesticks embedded in the cave wall.
The candlesticks around the treasure trove were all lit.
In an instant, the light inside suddenly brightened, which made Nie Zheng, who was accustomed to dim light, a little unaccustomed to it visually at the beginning.
Under the reflection of the six candlesticks, all of a sudden, the scene in the entire treasure house was completely reflected in Nie Zheng's eyes.
This treasure trove is a natural cave, about dozens of square meters, and it is neatly stacked with dozens of copper and wooden boxes.
Aside from these huge copper and wooden boxes, there is hardly a single thing or item of value that can be seen outside.
However, Nie Zheng thought about it carefully and felt that it was reasonable.
If everything is left outside and exposed to the air, it is estimated that it will be subject to varying degrees of decay and damage over time.
Since this treasure vault is used to store treasures, Qiu Xiaotian and the others will definitely seal and store all the valuable treasures in these large wooden boxes wrapped in copper.
Thinking of this, Nie Zheng nodded secretly, and walked quickly to these copper and wooden boxes, ready to open them all to see what kind of treasures were stored inside.
All the copper wooden boxes in the treasure vault are equipped with copper buckles and strong copper locks, which are estimated to be difficult to open without a special key.
As for the keys to open the wooden box, they should have been hidden by the dead ghost Qiu Xiaotian.
wanted to find the key to open these wooden boxes, but Nie Zheng didn't have the time, let alone the patience.
In order to be able to open these copper and wooden boxes as soon as possible, Nie Zheng immediately ordered Jack to teleport a shotgun out of the arms shopping mall.
You know, when I was on Earth in my previous life, the shotgun was an artifact specially used to open locks and break doors.
With a shotgun in both hands, Nie Zheng was ready to unlock the lock.
Just as he was about to shoot a copper lock and was about to shoot it, suddenly, Nie Zheng remembered that the stone door of the mountain god cave outside had not been closed.
If you don't close the entrance to the mountain god cave, I'm afraid that when the time comes, the movement of shooting and breaking the lock will spread to the outside and attract the attention of those bandits outside.
You know, it's late at night, and the slightest movement can be easily noticed.
Although it is said that the Mountain God Cave is located at the back of the Tiger Village, far away from the cottage area below the playground, Nie Zheng still decided to close the Mountain God Cave outside for the sake of safety.
Thinking of this, Nie Zheng put down the shotgun in his hand, quickly rushed out of the treasure house, came to the entrance of the Mountain God Cave, and pressed the mechanism to control the stone door from the inside, and finally, in a dull friction sound, the huge stone door of the Mountain God Cave slowly closed.
After closing the Mountain God Cave, Nie Zheng's mood was much calmer.
Immediately, he returned to the treasure vault and prepared to use the Shotgun to unlock the lock.
However, before shooting and breaking the lock, in order to avoid the eardrum being injured by the gunshot, Nie Zheng privately took two pieces of cloth from his body and firmly blocked his two ears.
Only in this way can you wait for the loud noise generated when the shotgun is fired, so that you will not injure yourself by mistake.
You must know that firing a shotgun in such a closed space of only tens of square meters, the huge sound can definitely crack the eardrum of an ordinary person. Absolutely not if you don't do noise protection.
After Nie Zheng did all the protective work, he slowly picked up the shotgun, aimed it at the lock of a copper wooden box, and quickly pulled the trigger.
There was a muffled "bang", and the whole cave was shaken.
Although Nie Zheng had rags in his earbuds, he was still shocked and his heart was turbulent, and his blood was rolling.
Taking a deep breath, Nie Zheng stuffed the cloth in his ear tighter again, and then he continued to hold the shotgun, firing in an endless stream.
A moment later, the dozens of copper and wooden boxes piled up in the treasure vault were all broken by Nie Zheng.
Looking at the piles of copper locks on the ground, which had been blown to pieces, Nie Zheng quickly took off the pieces of cloth in his ears, and couldn't wait to open these copper wooden boxes.
As Nie Zheng lifted the dozens of huge wooden boxes in the treasure vault, one by one.
Suddenly, inside the treasure cave, there was a jewel and a brilliant glow.
Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng's eyes lit up, his heart shook, and he was so excited that he almost stopped breathing.
At this moment, he dared to swear to the heavens, he had lived for decades, and so far, he had never seen so much gold and silver treasure.
Inside the entire treasure vault, there were a total of thirty-seven huge copper and wooden chests.
Each wooden box is filled with a large number of jewelry, jade, antique calligraphy and paintings.
However, these treasures could hardly stir Nie Zheng's heart.
For, in the thirty-seven chests of treasures, twenty of them were made of copper and wood, filled with silver ingots of snow white and bright. There were also seven large wooden boxes containing golden ingots.
Nie Zheng endured the excitement in his heart, took a few deep breaths, and tried his best to calm himself down.
According to his visual estimates, each of these huge wooden boxes containing gold and silver ingots contained at least a thousand taels of gold and silver.
Twenty boxes of silver ingots, a total of no less than 20,000 taels.
As for the seven large boxes of gold, there are at least seven thousand taels, and it is estimated that there will be more.
