Chapter 7: The Treasury of the Ages
I looked back at the moat in front of the city wall, muttered to myself as I walked over, squatted down and filled a locust wooden bowl with water.
"Zhu Yuanzhang relied on this bowl to ascend from a beggar to the Ninety-Five, a bowl can hold the world, and it can also fill a bowl of water, which is very popular...... The human heart is not satisfied, and greed and lust can never be filled. I slowly stood up, looked at the bowl in my hand, and said with emotion. Zhu Yuanzhang left the foundation of the eternal world in the Fengyang City Tower, I have always misunderstood, not that this imperial mausoleum is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, it is the water filled in this bowl, if the mirror is in the heart to stop the water, just like the human heart should be clear and visible, the heart is open for benevolence, that is the real foundation of the country. ”
I sighed heavily and walked like the stone statue, holding a wooden bowl full of water in my hand.
"Are you here, this is Zhu Yuanzhang warning future emperors, if he violently kills and rules the world, just like Zhu Yuanzhang himself, he is not the emperor waiting to open in the imperial mausoleum, he is in the netherworld! Zhu Yuanzhang is a lesson from the past. ”
I didn't ask Wen Zhuo for their opinion after speaking, I put the locust wood bowl in my hand in the palm of the stone statue very calmly and confidently, my arm slowly sank, and the bowstring from the left and right parapet mechanisms pulled my body, the arrows were already in the string and ten thousand arrows were fired at once, I looked up calmly, and the sound gradually disappeared in this spacious underground palace.
Bang!
A loud bang came in front of us, and the closed city gate slowly rose under the gaze of our eyes, and I saw Xiao Lianshan's nervous expression gradually lose sight and turn into excited shock.
When the city gate was raised, we saw clearly, it was a boulder more than two meters wide, the whole boulder made of the tomb gate man-made of human force there was no way to open, a corridor exposed in front of us, I visually saw another stone gate ten meters in front of the open city gate, the same is also slowly rising, this road has been leading to the depths of the underground palace imperial mausoleum, every time we open a heavy stone gate, we can only move forward a few steps, such a stone gate is no more than no less than a total of just nine, from the organs on both sides, even if someone is lucky enough to avoid the first city gate, Forcibly pry open the tomb door, but if the eight stone doors behind it are to be fully opened, I am afraid that the manpower required is difficult to calculate, and if each stone door is forcibly opened, the imperial tomb of the underground palace will collapse in an instant.
There are grooves on both sides of the corridor, which is used for lighting fish oil, and after Wen Zhuo lit it, the fire path continued to extend until the last stone door slowly rose to the highest level, and the moment we walked in, almost everyone stretched out their hands to cover their eyes.
Resplendent.
The real golden splendor, the dazzling golden light makes us unable to open our eyes, I have seen the dazzling wealth in the fourteenth tomb of the great uncle Haiming, but now standing here, I can only say that those treasures and everything we see in front of us is simply not worth mentioning.
The paved road made of gold bricks refracted the dazzling golden light in the firelight, Xiao Lianshan opened his mouth, and then rubbed his eyes with his hands uncertainly, in the rumors about the Ming Fourteenth Tombs, the emperors of the past dynasties will store a layer of treasury silk in the Ming Dynasty every year, I didn't think about how much wealth there should be before, after seeing the treasure of the Great Sea, I was convinced that it was the national treasure of the Ming Empire, and now I understand that it is still Zhu Yuanzhang's trick to hide from the sky and the sea.
This is the real Ming Fourteen Tombs, the wealth of the sea is just the tip of the iceberg of the real Ming Fourteen Tombs, we stand at the door and see the priceless treasures, the fire is still spreading, far away I can still see the swaying firelight, I am afraid there is no more luxurious imperial tomb than here, as long as it is the place where the fire reaches, it is all dazzling golden light.
Xiao Lianshan just took a step forward and slid to the ground, when he got up, he was holding a handful of beads in his hand, the size of a goose egg was round and natural, Xiao Lianshan didn't know what it was in his hand, I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I looked at it.
The night pearls in the mouth of the nine unicorns on the Jiulin Chengrui plate are rare treasures, and each of the nine night pearls is worth a fortune, but it is only half the size of Xiao Lianshan's hand, and he holds a large handful in his hand, and it is scattered on the ground at will.
We walked slowly forward in a state of great shock, although it was spacious, everything was stacked in an orderly manner, like a low mountain of boxes piled up, due to the age of some have been broken and rotten, the bottom of the complete deformation, should not be able to bear the weight, from the broken box into it, the boxes are full of gold nuggets, such a low mountain towers on both sides of the road paved with gold bricks.
In addition to the gold nuggets and full of boxes of jewelry and jade, dazzling, most of them are scattered on the ground because of the decay of the box, it looks like a mountain made of jewelry, it is shocking, at the beginning it is also classified and placed, we should go inside should be stored too many treasures, there is no time to take care of the problem of placement, all are randomly piled together, gradually leading to the front of the gold brick paved road is completely covered by countless treasures, we step on it, the calf is not in all kinds of treasures, We are completely lost in this vast treasure trove, because from any place we can see, there is nothing but golden light.
"Brother...... You, you're giving me this?! Xiao Lianshan squirmed his Adam's apple and said dumbfounded.
"It's said that you will be rich in the future, you should believe it now." I replied with a faint smile and patted him on the shoulder.
"I ...... Where can I use it up alone! In addition to surprise, Xiao Lianshan's face was also annoyed.
"You just have fun, fortunately Qianling is not here, if you let her know, hehe." I scratched my head and replied with a smile. "Brother Ting said that I have no luck, and if I find a treasure, I will destroy one, fortunately, this may be the last treasure I found, you keep it, I said that you broke your hands and feet for three generations and couldn't eat and drink, I think it should be more than that, your Xiao family is a loser from generation to generation, and it is also a headache to lose here."
"Chongzhen estimates that he will die on these treasures when he sees this, and a generation of emperors will be poor to death in the end, and there is no money to recruit troops and horses." Wen Zhuo casually picked up a golden pot, looked at it, threw it aside, and said with a smile. "Zhu Yuanzhang is still negligent in taking precautions, I'm afraid he won't be able to close his eyes in Huangquan, and Daming will die in the end without money."
Gu Xiaotian was already a person who had seen through the world, and he was a little hesitant and shocked when he arrived here.
"Wealth...... People all over the world flock to it, in the past I burned Afang Palace to see you hoarding in the palace piled up a mountain of jewelry and gold also heartbroken, a word of greed, ordinary people, the eternal overlord, after all, it is impossible to see through the money, Afang Palace burned for more than 30 days, I ordered someone to carry it for more than 30 days, I thought that the wealth of the world is so much, but compared with here, on the wealth of you, the emperor of the ages, defeated Zhu Yuanzhang. ”
We are completely clueless to move forward, has been unable to distinguish the direction, I am completely in accordance with the pattern of the mausoleum in the direction of the distinction, deep one foot shallow one foot in the treasure difficult forward, in addition to gold and silver jewelry, there are a whole box of calligraphy and painting calligraphy, history has been said to be the beginning of the dynasty of antiques of the real work suddenly disappeared and lost, there are rumors that the emperors of the dynasties are not keen on calligraphy and painting, and a large part of it was destroyed in the war, so throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty can get the calligraphy and painting calligraphy are very few.
It turned out that all were secretly hoarded here, I picked up a scattered calligraphy and painting, the picture layout is rigorous and neat, the shape is real and vivid, the mountains are majestic, the stone is steep, the axe is chopped, the penmanship is strong, the ink is dripping, and then look at the next paragraph is the owner of the peach blossom hermitage.
I smiled weakly again and handed it to Xiao Lianshan.
"Don't say that this mountain of gold and silver, if you don't want to move it, you can take one of the calligraphy and paintings here and sell it, which is enough for you to eat and drink in your life."
Xiao Lianshan is still a little hesitant, but what I said is not an exaggeration at all, a large part of the real works of everyone in the Ming Dynasty are here, I flipped through a few calligraphy and paintings, but the names of the names are the best people in the world.
Walking through the mountains of treasure, the shock and excitement of the previous time slowly replaced by a numbing feeling, everything here was so much that it was a little unreal, and what we were treading on was almost the same as the dirt, and my attention was withdrawn from the gold and silver jewels, and I walked forward according to the judgment of the mausoleum's specifications.
All around are submerged in jewels, stopped in front of a huge Hetian jade gate, the relief on it can be clearly identified as Zhu Yuanzhang's brilliant life, we have no way in front of us, I cleaned up the gold and silver jewelry on the ground, and the road paved with gold bricks that could still be seen before appeared again.
But to this Hetian jade door can also come to an abrupt end, I carefully checked on the Hetian jade relief, this is not a whole piece of Hetian jade, I found a very slight gap in the middle, I asked Xiao Lianshan to extinguish the torch, cut out a piece of bamboo and slowly poke in, behind the Hetian jade seems to be hollow, not a stone wall, I take back the bamboo piece, and look at this treasure again, needless to say that Qin Yishou must have put the sealing beads here, but compared with the magic power that penetrates the sky, these treasures seem to be vain, Qin Yishou would never put the sealing beads together with these gold and silver jewelry.
Then there is only one place left in this imperial tomb, and I knocked on the jade door with my hand.
"Behind this is the main tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang's Imperial Mausoleum, and the seal bead should also be inside."
