566 Treasure Theft
When Chu Xiangqian came to Kerala this time, he naturally had to put on some makeup, and he was dressed very naturally.
Moreover, there is a small state in the north of Tianzhu, most of the people are East Asian, and the ancestors heard that there are Han people who have established a country here.
Therefore, Chu Xiangqian doesn't have to worry too much about his appearance, he will be deliberately made difficult.
If you darken your face a little more, it looks like it smells like curry.
With leading the way, Chu Xiangqian rode his bicycle and didn't take much time to reach the vicinity of the target temple.
However, it was still daytime, and it was not as easy for a sable to enter the temple as a sable, so he could only learn from some worshippers and sit in the open space outside the temple.
But Chu Xiangqian forgot that even if he wore makeup and wore very ordinary, the momentum on his body was still a little out of place with the people around him.
It didn't take long for it to be noticed by a monk in the temple.
When Chu Xiangqian saw five or six people in yellow robes, white trousers, and turbans wrapped around their heads, coming out of the temple, and then looking at him, Chu Xiangqian instantly understood that he didn't know why he was being targeted.
sighed in his heart, fortunately, the sable advanced the treasure house, and then dug out of the treasure house, a tunnel that could be passed by adults.
Otherwise, just stealing the cave is enough to let people know that someone is stealing the treasure.
Chu Xiangqian originally wanted to stay, pretending to come to the temple to worship like the people around him, but after thinking about it, since he was targeted by these people who were obviously attendants, after staying, he would inevitably have to contact the other party, and maybe it would be more troublesome.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian got up without hesitation, his steps quickened, and he left the crowd in three or two clicks.
Walk towards the downtown not far away.
Seeing this, several attendants also hurried after them.
But it didn't take long to lose Chu Xiangqian's figure in the crowd.
With Chu Xiangqian's skills, coupled with the being monitored in the sky, it is really not too simple to avoid these people.
After dozens of attendants went back to report, the monk did not punish these people.
And when he heard that Chu Xiangqian had left by himself, the monk didn't care.
At night, Chu Xiangqian hid on the roof of a vacant three-story building around the temple, and it didn't take long for the sable to climb up along the wall.
Chu Xiangqian reached out to take the little thing, and saw that the pair of sable's front paws were a little worn out again, and took the sable into the novice village and fed two vials of blood.
A pair of claws recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seven or eight seconds later, the sable, which had fully recovered, climbed onto Chu Xiangqian's shoulder, and rubbed his little head on Chu Xiangqian's cheek affectionately.
One look at it tells that this little thing is in a very good mood right now.
Chu Xiangqian laughed, took out some chicken hearts and chicken livers from the storage compartment of his carry-on compartment, and the sable jumped directly into his hand, holding a chicken heart with a pair of paws and stuffing it into his mouth.
After eating, the little thing chirped a few times, Chu nodded forward, and returned to the real world with the sable.
Then follow it down the hidden building and slowly approach the temple.
This temple occupies a large area, divided into a temple, a main hall, a secondary hall, and a huge circular verandah on the inside and outside.
There is also a stone 3-meter building around the temple, which is not only a room that can be used, but also a courtyard wall, separating the inside and outside.
And the 6 treasury are under the Lord's Highness, four on the left and two on the right.
According to the official records, the last time the 6 treasures were opened was more than a hundred years ago, but in fact, Treasure House 4 has been opened several times in recent years.
Moreover, 4 of the 6 treasure houses were actually empty, so what was beneficial to Chu Xiangqian was that the family responsible for managing this temple did not care about the management of the temple.
The reason is that there are two treasure troves on the right, the largest one is not to be said, even if it has not been opened in later generations.
The fifth treasure house has actually been opened a long time ago, but there is a secret passage behind this treasure house, and after entering, it is the secret room where the treasure is really hidden.
So the family that manages this temple has always thought that the fifth treasury has been empty a long time ago.
If it weren't for the sables, they could even cut through the rocks, and they would have made holes from top to bottom, and it would not have been so easy to discover this secret room.
Chu Qianqian followed the sable, climbed over several courtyard walls and buildings all the way, and soon entered the temple and came to the verandah of the main hall.
The sable pointed to a carved hollow drainage ditch under the verandah, Chu leaned forward and immediately recognized that the sable had dug into the treasure house from here.
After climbing into the ditch, he saw a thief hole that could only allow sables to enter and exit, Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed, and took out a hunting knife from his storage compartment.
Gently pry the floor tiles around the thief hole.
The stingray had actually carved a hole under the floor tiles that could accommodate an adult to climb into.
But Chu Xiangqian knew that the follow-up would have to be kept secret, so naturally he would not let the sable dig through the floor tiles.
It took a moment to pry open a few floor tiles, put my hand on the floor tiles and silently said 'collect' in my heart, and the floor tiles were instantly put into the carry-on storage compartment.
Chu Xiangqian's face was happy, and according to this method, it only took ten minutes to put away all the floor tiles.
When the hundred pieces were taken away, a hole was slowly revealed under the ground.
Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, and when he came out, he restored the floor tiles and applied adhesive, not only the half-meter-deep floor tiles could be restored to their original appearance.
The rat hole dug by the stingray at the beginning can also be sealed by disrupting the position of the floor tiles.
After a few days, the adhesive dries thoroughly, which is not only waterproof, but also prevents rain from entering the treasure trove.
And as long as you are careful, there is basically no sign of being moved.
Chu Xiangqian took out a few candles and matches from the warehouse and handed them to the sable, and then instructed it to enter the treasure house first with the candles and matches in his mouth.
After going back and forth twice and lighting 4 candles, Chu Qianqian looked through the sable's sight and saw that the candles were burning smoothly, and he was relieved.
As for poisonous snakes or something, the secret room has been sealed for I don't know how many years, and there is neither water nor food such as rats in it, so it is impossible for there to be snakes guarding the treasure house all the time.
It's the mechanism that you need to worry about.
Fortunately, these days of sables, in addition to making holes, Chu Xiangqian has already looked at the treasure house through the sable's sight I don't know how many times.
After making sure that the air inside was fine, Chu climbed into the thief hole head-on, and did not forget to take out a one-meter-circumference wooden board from the warehouse of the novice village and cover it on the hole.
lest the faint golden light that emerges from it attract the attention of the temple guards.
Gliding for three or four meters, when you see the entrance of the cave, you hold the wall of the cave with both hands, and the speed of your body sliding down quickly decreases.
Then he exposed his upper body, and when he was in free fall, he easily landed on a pile of gravel and dirt with one turn.
These gravel and dirt were naturally the things left over from the sable's burrowing, and Chu looked forward and left and right.
Although I had already passed through the stingray and knew what was inside, my heart couldn't help but pound when I was there.
The most eye-catching thing is a 3.5-foot, 1.066-meter-long pure gold statue, and a curtain made of pure gold wire and gold thread hangs on the wall behind the statue.
And whether it is a statue of a god or a curtain, it is inlaid with hundreds of sparkling ruby sapphires and agate diamonds.
Even the curtain is full of jewels, and under the light of the candles, it makes people feel a little dazzling.
However, Chu Xiangqian was not in a hurry to hold this statue.
The statue was very heavy at first sight, and it was placed on a high stone platform in case there was a heavy object.
With the idol in hand, you might be able to activate the mechanism.
Of course, judging from the news of the previous life, there is a high probability that there will be nothing to be tired of here, but Chu Xiangqian is worried that it is not the same world, and maybe there will be something different.
Then his eyes were on the treasure house, the golden thrones that could be seen everywhere, and there were piles and piles of glittering gold coins, gold bottles, golden swords, gold plates, and small pagodas.
Hundreds of treasure chests filled with bracelets, necklaces, and headdresses encrusted with ruby sapphires and diamonds.
There are even more than a dozen silk fabric bags with ruby sapphires of various sizes, as well as colored diamonds, white diamonds, and emeralds.
After a few laps, Chu Xiangqian's eyes were almost overlooked.
Grabbing a handful of gold coins, he quickly recognized them as gold coins from the Roman Empire.
There is also a large number of 18th-century European gold coins.
Through these gold coins, Chu Xiangqian can probably estimate that this secret room has actually been opened in the past.
After all, the ancient Tianzhu gold coins, the Roman Empire gold coins, and the Napoleonic gold coins are hundreds of years apart.
Moreover, all kinds of different styles of gold thrones, pure gold tables and chairs, and gold ornaments also show that this treasure trove can have such huge gold jewelry, which has been collected by the temple little by little over hundreds of thousands of years.
Chu Xiangqian didn't say anything long-winded, squatted down and pressed his hands on a pile of gold coins, and silently collected them in his heart.
In an instant, this half-human-high pile of gold coins all entered the warehouse of the novice village.
Before Chu Xiangqian could react, the voice of +172,000 gold coupons came from his head.
Chu Xiangqian's mind instantly placed in the novice village, and his body subconsciously entered the novice village.
It's just that the aperture that was supposed to expand outward by 1,720 meters stopped after a rapid expansion of 1,403 meters.
Chu Xiangqian also saw clearly for the first time, the novice map was a circle with a radius of 2 kilometers.
Just as Chu Xiangqian secretly cursed in his heart that the map was too small, in the hills and mountains to the west of the map, a cave with a large area was actually exposed.
Chu Xiangqian subconsciously thought that this must be a new map.
As soon as I was happy, I wanted to ride the red rabbit and run over to take a look, but just after walking a few steps, I thought about it, and I only had one life.
It's better to be on the safe side.
With a thought, he left the novice village, came to the treasure house, and collected all the things into the novice village.
Sure enough, the gold coupons kept increasing, but the aperture in the novice village still stayed within a range of 2 kilometers.
But Chu Xiangqian was already a little excited at this time, and his breathing became heavy overhead.
It can be seen from the addition of 2.572 million gold coupons that the value of these thrones cannot be estimated.
It's just too much.
Just 230,000 Napoleonic gold coins and 140,000 Roman Empire gold coins, I don't know how much they are worth.
And because the quantity is too large, it makes it difficult for Chu Xiangqian to take out a large number in the future.
Otherwise, the value will plummet tenfold or hundredfold all at once.
However, 280 17th-century Venetian gold coins and 2,600 ancient Tianzhu gold coins are sure to be treasures that numismatists are fanatically pursuing.
As for the specific price, although Chu Xiangqian didn't know, he still remembered the news he had read in his previous life that a Venetian gold coin with the same price as his own had been auctioned for $380,000.
Even if it is only 61 years old at this time, the price cannot be so high, and even in the future, the auction price may not be the exact price.
But these 280 pieces are placed decades later, with a valuation of more than 100 million US dollars, which still makes Chu Xiangqian happy.
Of course, in terms of true value, these 280 gold coins, in front of 230,000 Napoleonic gold coins and 140,000 Roman Empire gold coins, are naturally at the level of the little brother.
As for the 2,600 Gu Tianzhu gold coins, Chu Xiangqian really didn't know how to value them, and he didn't even know what dynasty or what provenance.
I can only wait until I return to Hong Kong Island, or go to England, take out one or sketch it with a pencil, and then ask someone.
After collecting all the gold coins, Chu Xiangqian's gaze naturally rested on the various gold products on the ground.
1730 gold bottles, plates, golden pagodas, scepters, golden coconuts.
12 silk bags containing ruby sapphires of various sizes, colored diamonds and white diamonds.
Hundreds of treasure chests filled with bracelets, necklaces, tiaras, rings, brooches, and other jewelry encrusted with ruby sapphires and diamonds.
At this time, Chu Xiangqian really felt that in the future, unless it was that kind of particularly good jewelry, or diamonds, ordinary jewelry in front of him would be no different from glass beads.
And you don't have to worry about what gifts to give your daughters-in-law anymore.
Then Chu Xiangqian's gaze was on those golden thrones and chairs.
According to statistics, 340 pure gold seats inlaid with dozens or hundreds of jewels and diamonds, and 18 pure gold thrones, instantly made Chu Xiangqian feel that there should be more than a dozen tons of gold alone.
This was followed by 120 chains of pure gold with an average of 30 kilograms each, 3 meters long, and hundreds of gold nuggets of different shapes, each twenty or thirty kilograms.
Moreover, in these piles of gold coins and gold products, 26 golden knives with pure gold scabbards and hilts, and 12 golden spears were also found.
Hundreds of garments of various jewels and gold threads used to serve the gods.
These things are really hard to value, but Chu Xiangqian believes that in the future, rich people in Tianzhu will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to buy them back from the auction house.
And Chu Xiangqian only needs to take out one or two pieces from time to time in the future, and he can earn hundreds or tens of millions of dollars.
After emptying the treasury, all that was left was the 3.5-foot, 1.066-meter-long pure gold statue and a curtain of various gemstones.
Chu Xiangqian didn't rush to take it away, but installed a wooden ladder on the side of the thief hole, once it was emptied, stepping on the ladder, he could climb up to a height of three or four meters in three or two strokes and climb out of this thief hole.
When I was ready, I put away the idol and the curtain, but fortunately, I waited silently for a while, and everything around me was normal.
Chu Xiangqian was relieved and was about to leave, when suddenly the sable chirped a few times.
When Chu looked forward, he saw that the sable had already run to the stone platform under the statue of the god, and pointed to the stone platform and shouted a few times.
Although Chu Xiangqian didn't understand the true meaning of the sable, he also knew that there must be something wrong with this stone platform.
I walked over and touched it, and suddenly my heart moved, and I took out my hunting knife and slashed it on the stone platform.
Then he took a cool breath.
