Chapter 644: What is the Reason?
No one would cast gold and silver into the shape of armor for preservation, so after seeing that these glowing things were actually armor, everyone knew that these armors were not of much value at all.
"Treasure, this is the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang?" Seeing that what everyone was looking for was nothing more than these mountains of armor, Yang Lei was a little hysterical, and rushed down while scolding, rummaging through the pile of armor.
Probably because his heart was full of resentment, Yang Lei's movements were unusually violent, he was not rummaging with his hands at all, but kept lifting one piece of armor after another high with his toes, and then kicked it to the side.
After a while, Yang Lei rummaged through a large area, and the armor was piled up with a lot of dust, all of which were dust picked up by his feet, and one by one the armor flew up, and fell down again, smashing on the other armor and clanging.
Chen Ziyang also felt very depressed, he didn't expect the so-called treasure to be these things, this was really something he didn't expect.
The other four people didn't react as violently as Yang Lei, after all, the purpose of their coming here was to help Chen Ziyang, and they didn't think about how much money they would share, but they all had some loss in their hearts, after all, they all knew the purpose of Chen Ziyang's coming here to find treasure, and they felt a little worthless for him.
Then a few people began to rummage, and kept pulling out one piece of armor after another from the armor pile, trying to see if there was anything else of value under the armor pile, which would be a worthwhile trip.
At first, Chen Ziyang had not recovered from his disappointment, but when he rummaged for a while, he was very surprised, there were too many of these armors!
Yang Lei, who was the first to attack, had already turned out a big pit near him, this pit was actually filled with armor before, and all the armor inside had been thrown by him elsewhere, and there were almost hundreds of pieces of armor thrown out by him from here alone.
The others were in a similar situation, and when they removed the armor with dirt on it, there was nothing other than armor that came out below, and the armor was stacked on top of each other, and I don't know how many there were.
Running to a high ground, Chen Ziyang stared at the place where the armor was stacked. This is located in the center of this small dirt bag, and the area where the armor is stacked is very large, and it almost occupies the entire small dirt bag.
Judging from the surrounding topography, the center of this small dirt bag should be a large depression, like a volcanic crater, but because it is full of armor, it looks like a flat land.
Although Chen Ziyang didn't know how many layers of armor were stacked, if he used the number of layers of gray armor he saw now and the area of this small earthen bag to convert, the number of armors stacked here was no less than tens of thousands, so thinking about it, it was very likely that there were hundreds of thousands of armors stacked here.
These armors are mainly cuirasses and helmets, and other parts that protect the limbs are relatively rare, and the quality of the armor is also uneven, the golden armor contains more copper, which should be considered better, and the silver-white armor has a slight difference in quality, which is only made of iron.
Moreover, the armor is very rough cast, and in many places there are even burrs left over from the casting process that have not been polished flat, and there are no decorative patterns on the armor.
Although the number of armors is very large, none of the armors that have been turned out so far are of good quality, not even one percent of the previous nine armors, which should be worn by the lowest level soldiers.
"Gee, that's weird. Although the quantity of armor is large, the quality is not very good, even if there are more such things, even if they are ten times more, they are not worthy of Yuan Tiangang's identity! Why is the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang these things? β
After rummaging for a while, Chen Ziyang sat on a pile of armor and thought about this question. In other words, what he was thinking about was a question that he hadn't figured out since he got the treasure map left by Yuan Tiangang, that is, why Yuan Tiangang left the treasure.
Chen Ziyang doesn't know if Yuan Tiangang has children, but he knows that even if he does, Yuan Tiangang's children will definitely rely on Yuan Tiangang's power to enrich the party, or cover the sky with one hand, and there is no need to go to great lengths to leave treasures. So who is the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang for?
In terms of Yuan Tiangang's identity in the Tang Dynasty at that time, he had no reason to leave a treasure at all. Yuan Tiangang's tomb is not large, and there should not be many burial objects left in it, so why didn't he take the good things to accompany the burial, but hide them in another place.
Judging from the formation of the previous nine armors and the mechanism in the Taoist holy land where the treasure map was placed, Chen Ziyang estimated that there was a chance that this treasure was left by Yuan Tiangang to the descendants of the Taoist. Is it in the hope that through these treasures will promote Taoism? This argument is also not valid.
The reason why Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian recorded the location of the Taoist holy land was because the two of them knew that they had made a big mistake and that alchemy poisoned Yongzheng, so they guessed that Taoism would inevitably decline in the future. That's why they hope to revive Taoism with the help of things in the Taoist holy land.
But Yuan Tiangang was different, Yuan Tiangang at that time could be said to be a monstrous power, Wu Zetian trusted him very much, and Taoism was also extremely prosperous at that time. So no matter which way you look at it, Yuan Tiangang has no reason to leave the treasure.
This question has been raised since Chen Ziyang came out of the Taoist holy land and studied the treasure map left by Yuan Tiangang, but he has never received an answer.
Because these things had nothing to do with cracking the treasure map, he didn't take Yuan Tiangang's reason for leaving the treasure seriously at all, so he put it aside. And what happened today made Chen Ziyang feel that this was precisely a key.
Looking at these soldiers all over the ground, Chen Ziyang thought for a long time, and then an idea slowly took shape in his heart, but this idea was a little too bold, and he still needed something tangible to verify.
"Alright, don't look for it. There is nothing here except armor. Chen Ziyang stood up and said this to the five people who were rummaging in the field.
"Eryang, did you just give up? Let's look for it for a while, maybe we can really find something valuable, but even if we can't find you, don't be discouraged, let's take that sword and go back to the car beads and sell bracelets. Yang Lei said, standing at the bottom of a large pit made of armor.
"Don't look for it, the things we need to find aren't here."
Hearing Chen Ziyang's words, Yang Lei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "What did you say?" Aren't these the treasures left by Yuan Tiangang? Listening to the meaning of your words, Yuan Tiangang may have other treasures left, do you know where the treasure is? β
"I'm not very sure, but I know that what Yuan Tiangang left here is definitely not just these armors, the reason is very simple, so far, we haven't found the female worm of the Sun and Moon Nose Worm."
When Chen Ziyang said this, Shangguan Kangning slapped his head violently, he was thinking about the treasure just now, and he ignored the most important Gu worms, so Shangguan Kangning hurriedly took out the bottle containing the ground green worms and stared at the two insects inside.
The two bugs were still restless, no different from the sword just now, Shangguan Kangning looked up, and it was obvious that the place indicated by the two bugs was not in the armor pile.
Several people looked in that direction at the same time, and not far from this armor mountain, there was a huge shadow that looked like another island in the middle of a lake.
It seems that Shangguan Kangning's previous speculation was wrong, the direction of the Sun Moon Nose Worm's existence is the same as the direction of Armor Mountain, it is just a coincidence, it is very likely that the Sun Moon Nose Worm is in that place.
All of a sudden, a few people cheered up again. According to common sense, the place where the female insect of the sun and moon nose worm exists should be the real location of Yuan Tiangang's treasure, it seems that Chen Ziyang is very right, there should be more than these armors here.
After working for so long a day, the water-soaked clothes of several people had just dried up, and they were about to go into the water again.
On the way to the second island in the middle of the lake, Chen Ziyang found that the water here was a little deeper. The shallowest part was already up to the waist of several people, and the deepest part was almost to his heart.
"Weird, where are those cute glowing little fish?" Xu Xiaoyuan walked and looked east and west, wanting to see the transparent small fish that were glowing around the waists of several people before, but this time he didn't see even one.
"Maybe the fish like to live near the lake, or maybe the water is a little deeper, so the fish don't like to wander here." Jin Huang replied casually.
Xu Xiaoyuan's words made Chen Ziyang's heart rise a trace of vigilance, something was wrong. The water here isn't much deeper, and it's a trivial matter for the fish.
And since a few people left the island in the middle of the lake where the armor was stacked, they didn't see those fish, even if Jin Huang said something true, those fish like to wander around the lake, but isn't the edge of the island in the middle of the lake also a lake, why are there no fish?
"Be careful, maybe there's something wrong, everyone pay attention to the water."
The bottom of the lake here is still extremely dark, even if you use the flashlight beam to see the situation at the bottom of the lake, a few people can only grope their way forward, but fortunately nothing happened along the way. Soon, the six of them landed on the second island in the middle of the lake.
As with the first island in the middle of the lake, there is a strange smell in the soil, and there is still not a single glowing mushroom on the island.
But there is one thing that is different from the first island in the middle of the lake, this small island is relatively flat, and the terrain is relatively low, only a little higher than the water, and there are huge boxes neatly stacked on this flat island in the middle of the lake.
Each of these boxes is nearly two meters long and more than a meter high. All the boxes looked exactly the same, covered in one piece on the island in the middle of the lake, and I don't know how many there were.
"I'll be a good girl, it's not all gold ingots." As Yang Lei spoke, he was about to step forward to see what was in these boxes, but he was pulled back by Chen Ziyang.
"Dead money fan, you don't want to die, be careful." After pulling Yang Lei back, Chen Ziyang knocked on the ground here a few times.
There was only a thin layer of soil on the ground, and there were rocks underneath, and it didn't look like it was hiding some mechanism. Then he threw out the Five Emperor Coins, and used the inertia of the Five Emperor Coins to wrap the red thread tied at the back around the protrusion of a box.
After taking a lot of effort to pull the box closer, Chen Ziyang was relieved to see that there was no mechanism triggered when moving the box, so he carefully observed the box in front of him.
The box is wooden, and there are thin copper sheets wrapped around several corners of the box, and the outside of this box is painted with a thick layer of lacquer, and the wood made of the box should be very tight, so even after so many years, the box still does not rot.
The box has a latch on it, but it is not locked. Chen Ziyang asked a few people to move away, and then he turned the box in one direction, so that the lock was facing away from everyone, and then tied the red rope behind the Five Emperor Coins to the lock, and also retreated a distance.
After keeping a relatively safe distance from the box, Chen Ziyang pulled the red line in his hand hard. With his strength, the lid of the box slowly lifted. When the lid was fully opened, there were no bolts or anything like that coming out of the chest.
Several people gathered around the box again and looked into it. Long strips of items wrapped in dark yellow oiled paper were neatly stacked in boxes.
Yang Lei's hands trembled with excitement, the shape of this long strip was what he had been looking forward to seeing, maybe these oil paper wrapped in gold bars of his dreams.
But the umbrella Shi Shuai, who was standing aside, frowned. It's a joke, there is no need to use oil paper to preserve such things as gold, although he doesn't know what these long strips of things are, but Umbrella Shishuai knows that it is very likely that Yang Lei will be disappointed again this time, these things are definitely not gold and silver.
After grabbing a long strip wrapped in oiled paper, Yang Lei was stunned again, he knew from the feel and weight that these things were not gold bars at all.
The oiled paper was torn open, revealing a shiny, white, pointy object. What was wrapped under the oiled paper turned out to be a spear head cast from stainless steel.
βhatοΌβ Yang Lei was so angry that even English came out, he hurriedly threw down the gun in his hand, and then kept taking out the things wrapped in oil paper in the box one by one, tearing the oil paper outside.
Without exception, the contents of the crates were all of these tips.
"Yuan Tiangang, my day is your uncle!"
