Chapter XXVII

The leading guards divided the team into four teams, according to the four directions of southeast, west, and northwest, and scattered in this valley to look for and check, after all, this valley is very wide, grass and trees are everywhere, and there are many hidden corners, and it takes a certain amount of time to check the surrounding situation.

Wei Wei and Hui Di took a few people to search for wine and tea houses in the heart of the valley, in the market town.

"It seems that the people here left suddenly, and the dishes and wine glasses on the stone table have not been cleaned up," Wei Wei said, lifting the wine jug on the table, which was empty and had long since dried up, and the dish was so dark that it was impossible to make out what was eating.

"How hasty it is that money, clothing, and clothing have not been taken away," said Emperor Hui, "and tens of thousands of people were evacuated at the same time." โ€

In Stone House Town, the contents of each house have never been tidied up, as if the owner of the house will come back to live at any time, but everyone has disappeared out of thin air.

"Brother Jing, you say, when we go in and out of the valley, the souls in the deep pit we see are the inhabitants of this stone house?" Vivi asked.

"It's hard to say."

"Could it be that someone deliberately kept these tens of thousands of people in the stone houses in the valley, just to refine Gu in the pit?" Wei Wei looked at the current situation and felt that it was very possible.

"It's a sin to do that." Hui Di sighed.

At first, there were a few guards collecting property, but then they were numb, so that in the end, they thought that the gold was too heavy on their bodies, and they fell directly to the ground. This place, the most important thing is gold, but unfortunately it is an empty city, I really don't know what it was like when he was prosperous.

Weiwei walked to a library, and the plaque at the door mentioned the word "Yayuan", the font was clear and beautiful, soft and rigid. Walking into the garden, I found that there were a lot of calligraphy and paintings piled up inside, and more than 10,000 books were neatly stacked on the bookshelves hewn out of the stone wall. Emperor Hui stepped forward to look through it, and there was a lot of dust piled up on the books, and no one had cleaned them for a long time.

"There is a unique calligraphy book from Hanjiang City here!" Whitich Road.

"It took a lot of manpower and financial resources to be able to transport so many books from outside." "Moreover, the books that have been transported here with such great effort are certainly not ordinary products. โ€

Emperor Hui smiled after hearing this: "Cai Wei, what you analyzed is that every book hidden here can be called a unique treasure in the world, as well as the dusty calligraphy and paintings here, each of which is worth thousands of gold!" โ€

"It seems that the owner of this elegant garden is a big tyrant who worships literature!" Vivi sighed.

"It's not just money that you can buy." Emperor Hui explained to the guards below, "You can take the money here at will, but you can't take these paintings and calligraphy as your own." โ€

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The guards answered.

"If there is a way, I want to take these paintings and calligraphy out and leave them here unattended, I'm afraid it will be a pity if they are moth-eaten and corrupted!"

"If they could have brought it in, they would naturally have a way to bring it out again, but I don't know what method they used." Vivi said.

The two were gossiping, and two guards were looking around on the stone wall bookshelf, and suddenly who didn't know what mechanism they had touched, a "buzzing" sounded, and a bookshelf slowly moved backwards, revealing a secret room inside.

Everyone gathered around, only to see that it was dark inside, without any light, and no one dared to rush forward for a while.

"Unexpectedly, there is also a secret room here, so many priceless paintings and calligraphy are not hidden, could there be anything more important in it!" Emperor Hui was very curious, and ordered someone to light a torch to light the secret room, and go in to see what was going on.

There is a stone staircase going down in the secret room, and it will reach the ground below about a few dozen meters, and wherever the torches shine, it is empty, and the area is not small, because it is at the bottom of the valley, and the air is humid and cold.

"Your Majesty, there doesn't seem to be anything special!" One of the guards looked around.

The space in the secret room below was about the size of half a football field, and there was no object to block the view, and just when everyone was about to leave, Vivi suddenly said, "Wait! Look up! โ€

Everyone raised their heads, raised the torches in their hands, and looked at them intently, and couldn't help but gasp, "Mom! One of the guards exclaimed.

"I just noticed when I was passing under it with torches and there was a shadow on the ground, and I only noticed it when I looked up." Vivi explained.

Several people gathered together with torches, the firelight accumulated more, this secret room was extremely dark, at this moment on the fire, only to find that in the center of the empty secret room, hanging a sarcophagus, the sarcophagus is painted with red and bright paint, in the faint firelight is more bewitching and weird, people accidentally glimpse suddenly, it is inevitable that they will miss a beat in their hearts.

"This chamber is actually a burial chamber!" Hui Di said.

"Maybe it's the owner of this garden!" Vivi continued.

"How many of you can figure out what's in this coffin?" Emperor Hui instructed the guards.

Several guards looked at the blood-red sarcophagus a little worried, but the emperor's order had to be listened to, and they had the courage to run under the sarcophagus to look around, and after a closer look, they found that there were many iron chains around the sarcophagus, and the end of the chain was connected to the stone crack above.

The guards led by him performed light skills, jumped up, tapped the stone wall with his right foot, borrowed strength, his body flew up, and his left foot stepped towards the position of the sarcophagus, and he fell down and stood lightly on the sarcophagus.

The guards took a closer look at the sarcophagus, "Your Majesty, the lid of the sarcophagus is actually depicted with a pattern of a flying dragon in the sky!" "The guards report.

"The person who can use the dragon pattern must be related to the royal family." Emperor Hui shouted, "Hurry up and open the coffin, I want to see who is inside." Hui Di looked a little excited.

"Brother Jing, do you suspect that this coffin is ยทยทยทยทยทยท?" Wei Wei looked at Emperor Hui's worried appearance and comforted, "No matter what you see, Brother Jing must accept it naturally." โ€

Emperor Hui hugged Wei Wei beside him and sighed, "I understand! โ€

The guards over there went up two more people, and the three of them worked together to open the lid of the sarcophagus, but the coffin lid was not tightly closed, and it didn't take much effort to open a crack, and one of the guards held a torch to look into the coffin, and told Emperor Hui below: "Your Majesty, this coffin does not contain a corpse." โ€

Emperor Hui was visibly relaxed, and asked, "Let's see what's inside?" โ€

The guard jumped into the sarcophagus, got inside, and then leaned out and said, "Inside are some calligraphy and paintings that are the same as the outside." Then, a flying body, jumped out, fell to the ground, he took the coffin of the calligraphy and painting in front of Emperor Hui, the entourage who had been standing silently behind Emperor Hui immediately stepped forward to check it, confirmed that it was non-toxic, and then handed it to Emperor Hui.

Emperor Hui looked through these paintings and calligraphy one by one, and suddenly a square scarf-sized yellowed brocade fell from the book, Wei Wei quickly leaned over and picked it up, it was another embroidery picture, but it was full of Chinese characters, Wei Wei recognized, "alchemy" a few words.

"Brother Jing, look at this Jinpa!" Vivi shouted and handed it to Emperor Hui.

"Alchemy?" Emperor Hui was surprised, "Is there really such a magic in the world?" โ€

Hui Di Tsai carefully read the content of this brocade, "No wonder there is gold everywhere in this valley, it turns out that there are strange people refining stones into gold here!" โ€

"Turning stone into gold?" Weiwei suddenly remembered the TV series she saw when she was a child, could there really be someone in this world who can turn stones into gold! "And is this gold real?" Vivi thought to herself that it couldn't be some fake gold, just like the counterfeit banknotes of our time!

"Will it turn back into stone when you leave the valley?"

"No!" Emperor Hui replied, "This brocade pa said that only this Yunyang Mountain, only the stones at the bottom of this valley, can be refined into gold using secret techniques. In other words, the stone here has a special texture and contains gold in its composition. โ€

"Your Majesty, your subordinates know." One of the guards excitedly shouted, "I have an uncle who traveled to the South Seas when he was young, and it is said that gold can be found in the sand and gravel there!" โ€

"If my dynasty can master this alchemy method, then everyone in the world can be healthy, and there is no need to go hungry!" The guards were delighted.

"There is no one to produce and work, to grow food, and no amount of gold can buy food!" Vivi said.

"It seems that in this valley, not only Gu is refined, but also gold is alchemized!" Hui Di pondered.
