681 Seawater inflow
When he arrived at the entrance of the tunnel, Chu Qianqian lay on the ground to hide himself, took out a bundle of more than a dozen candles and kerosene lighters from the storage compartment, and handed them to the stingray who crawled out.
Let it bite into the cloth bag containing candles, lighters, and enter the treasure house again.
When the candles were lit in the vault, the also got in, and cast the to make sure that there was no danger in the vault.
Chu Xiangqian began to drill into the tunnel.
Will be so careful, I have really seen a lot of news in my previous life, about the temple No. 5 treasure house, carved two huge cobra statues, and all kinds of mysterious side secrets.
Now that we're in the final step, it's always good to be careful.
After climbing into the treasure house, Chu Xiangqian suddenly felt that his eyes were swaying, and the light of pieces of gold and various gems was a little invisible.
In the treasure house that was stolen by himself before, there were more than 230,000 gold coins of various types.
Although there were not two or three hundred thousand gold coins in front of him, there were also 10 boxes, about 30,000 pieces. But these gold coins are all Gu Tianzhu gold coins.
And on the obverse of these gold coins, there are golden bulls, giant crabs and goats.
When Chu Xiangqian was with Margaret in London before, he asked Hawkins Butler to buy a lot of books about Gu Tianzhu's currency.
It is mentioned that it was made during the Mughal Empire.
The gold bull coins were struck at the Agra Mint in the Mughal capital, and are scarce in existence, with an estimated value of about $8,000 to $10,000.
Even fewer are Cancer gold coins, which are rumored to have been specially minted in the early 17th century by a Mughal king named Jahangir for his own future.
At this point, it was already estimated at forty or fifty thousand dollars.
Chu Xiangqian roughly calculated that there were about 20,000 Golden Bull gold coins.
There are about 10,000 Cancers, and the two gold coins alone are now valued at more than $500 million or 600 million.
Of course, if you put such a large number of gold coins on the auction market, the price will definitely plummet.
But if you sell more than a dozen pieces a year, the price will slowly be super high, maybe ten or twenty years later, it will skyrocket ten times.
It's a pity, it's still the same sentence, this thing can only be shot slowly, and the target customer group can only be Tianzhu wealthy businessmen.
——
Putting away all the gold coins, Chu Xiangqian's eyes were on the jewelry and goldware.
There are 358 pure gold tables, chairs, thrones, 12 bags of gems, and hundreds of jewels in the No. 3 treasure house.
There are more than 1,700 gold artifacts, 120 3-meter-long pure gold chains, and 560 gold nuggets of 20 kilograms.
26 scabbards of pure gold, golden knives with hilts, and 12 spears of gold.
Hundreds of garments of various jewels and gold threads used to serve the gods.
These treasures have already made Chu Xiangqian feel that he and his children and grandchildren will not be able to spend them for several generations, or even ten generations.
But there were at least two or three times as many gold objects, all kinds of diamond jewelry, thrones, and gold statues in Treasury No. 5.
The most exaggerated thing is that a carriage made of pure gold 2 meters long and 1.5 meters high is inlaid with countless ruby sapphires and diamond agate.
With this car alone, Chu Xiangqian felt that the future Tianzhu people would be sorry for their ancestors if they didn't spend $1 billion to buy it back.
After all, the pure gold chariot weighs several tons, and the value of gold and jewelry alone will be worth hundreds of millions in the future.
Not to mention this golden chariot, it is most likely the car of a certain king of the Mughal Empire.
The archaeological and historical value is extremely high.
If you don't sell it, just take it out for exhibition, Tianzhu people will definitely hate themselves to death.
Chu Xiangqian smiled and began to follow the periphery of the treasure house, collecting all the treasures and gold in the treasure house into the warehouse of the novice village.
Ten minutes later, one by one, the treasures and gold artifacts looked at Chu Qianqian, and their eyes were dazzled.
Slowly, whether it was rubies, sapphires, diamonds, or emeralds, in his eyes, they began to become more ordinary.
If something has too much and loses its scarcity, it will naturally become like a glass ball.
However, Chu Xiangqian is still reasonable, but he can't leave it to the Tianzhu people.
It took more than two hours to collect all the gold and jewelry in the hundreds of square meters of treasure house into the warehouse of the novice village.
When the golden carriage was finally put into the warehouse, there was a sudden clicking sound in the chamber.
Then the entire chamber shook a few times, and a layer of ash rose on the granite wall on the top floor.
Chu Xiangqian screamed in his heart, he didn't want to rush towards the tunnel he climbed into, and then crawled out frantically.
The sable picked up the in her mouth, followed Chu forward and ran out quickly.
And in just three or two strokes, the little mink rushed out of the gap beside Chu Xiangqian, and then surpassed Chu Xiangqian in three or two steps.
Chu Xiangqian not only didn't blame the stingray, but shouted for it to climb faster.
Once the secret room really collapsed, Chu Xiangqian could only enter the novice village, and there would be mink and outside at that time.
It can not only be used as an eyeliner, in case he returns to the real world again and is trapped in a collapsed secret room, but also allows the stingray to dig a new tunnel for himself.
There are newbie villages and Middle-earth, so you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and it's still no problem to live.
So although Chu Xiangqian was anxious, he was not very afraid.
Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian's physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, ordinary people need more than ten minutes, or even half an hour to crawl through the tunnel, and it only took him less than 1 minute to climb out smoothly.
But as soon as he climbed out, there was a sudden whining sound in the treasure house of Temple No. 5.
Then in the tunnel, a gust of wind rushed out.
Frightened, Chu Xiangqian didn't care how the noise and the wind came from, and ran out quickly.
When passing by the wall, several monks were awakened by the unusual noise and were coming out to check.
Jump a few meters directly, turn over and go out of the temple.
Then continue to run into the distance.
And his move to climb over the wall was also clearly seen by those monks.
Soon there was a shout from the temple, followed by a temple guard with a sword and a spear in his hand, who quickly ran out of the temple and chased him in the direction he had fled.
It's a pity that Chu Qianqian's running speed has long exceeded the limit of human beings.
In just a few tens of seconds, he ran a kilometer and went directly out of the town where the temple was located.
After he released the red rabbit, he rode a horse and continued to escape, running for more than ten kilometers, and the town where the temple was located was scattered and searched by dozens of torches.
Then the torches expanded to several hundred, but unfortunately, let alone catching up with Chu Xiangqian, he didn't even find his whereabouts.
Chu Xiangqian rode the red rabbit and ran all the way for 1 hour, running hundreds of kilometers, and then he was relieved.
It's just that when he continued to escape, the exploring the way in front of him suddenly came with a warning, and Chu Xiangqian hurriedly pulled the reins of the red rabbit.
Keeping his eyes on the, he soon noticed that there were a large number of villagers with knives, guns, and firearms in front of him, scattered in search of something.
Hiding in a wood, Chu Xiangqian quickly found that many people with torches gathered beside the river where the tiger hurt people before.
Needless to say, it must have been the one who escaped by luck among the previous 7 bullies, and fled back to the village to report his experience to the villagers.
This guy can't hide it if he wants to, after all, 7 people went out, but he was the only one who came back.
If you don't say it, you will be beaten half to death by the families of the 6 bullies.
This attracted so many people to come out overnight to check and look for the wounded tiger.
As long as there is a gun in his hand and dozens of people are gathered together, the tiger is no longer a fierce beast to fear.
On the contrary, if the tiger is never found, most people will worry that they or their families will be attacked by the tiger.
In this case, it is better for everyone to come out together and take the initiative to hunt the tiger.
With the as an early warning aircraft in the air, Chu Xiangqian easily avoided all the villagers and crossed this piece of land.
But after thinking about it, I entered the novice village after passing through the crowd search range of more than ten kilometers.
Since you want to make a big news and suppress the matter on the temple's side, then let's just make it bigger.
At this time, it was already more than 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, and I saw that there was really a tiger on the island in the middle of the river.
Chu Xiangqian smiled, and when he dodged the tiger's attack with his bare hands, he reached out and easily grabbed the opponent's neck, and his mind moved, appearing in the real world.
Grabbing the fur on the tiger's neck, he threw the stunned tiger out more than ten meters away, and continued to walk south quickly.
By the time the tiger got up, Chu Xiangqian had already run dozens of meters away.
wanted to catch up, but stopped because of the experience of being thrown out by Chu Xiangqian just now.
With this hesitation, Chu ran forward for another twenty or thirty meters.
For beasts like tigers, instinct will keep them from exerting a lot of energy.
When tigers hunt for food, they often sneak within twenty or thirty meters of the target before attacking.
Animals that have already run away are rarely caught up.
He could only roar at the back of Chu Qianqian, who had already run more than 100 meters, which was a warning.
But it was this tiger roar that made the villagers in the surrounding areas for several miles, or even more than a dozen miles, frightened and excited.
Wait for Chu to run forward for more than ten miles, avoid leaving the footprints of the horse, and ride the red rabbit.
There was already a team of more than 20 people, and they found this tiger who was subconsciously walking in the opposite direction from Chu.
However, although this tiger was large, it had just been beaten by Chu Xiangqian, and when he saw more than two dozen humans like Chu Xiangqian, and many of them were carrying torches, they ran towards the woods in the distance without thinking about it.
Seeing the tiger avoiding it, the villagers who were also scared became excited.
The living bully said before that this tiger should have been shot twice.
This is one of the reasons why the villagers dare to come out in groups to hunt and kill this tiger.
Of course, the bigger motivation is the heirs of the Lavanko family in this area, who are willing to offer a reward of 20,000 rupees.
In this year, 20,000 rupees is about equal to more than 200 heavenly coins, which is equal to 80 or 90 dollars.
This amount of money, for the villagers, is seven or eight years of income.
But for the landlords, the tiger skin alone can be sold for two or three hundred, or even five or six hundred dollars, if bought in Bombay.
Plus tiger bones and tiger whips, another one or two hundred dollars.
Being able to hunt down this evil tiger that dares to hurt people can be regarded as a good reputation to a certain extent.
Waiting for more than two dozen villagers, armed with guns and swords, they entered the woods, expecting to find the tiger quickly.
The fact is that the two sides did meet quickly, but because the woods were not large, the tigers who were forced to attack easily killed and killed several of them.
The tiger, which was still scared, suddenly became even more ferocious.
But no matter how ferocious the beast is, when it encounters a human with a gun in its hand, although it can easily force back and scare away the faint-hearted, there are still some people who are bold and want to kill the tiger and get a bounty, and dare to shoot it.
After two bullets, the tiger was wounded, and although the man who shot at him was killed, the gunshot wound and bleeding would slowly weaken it.
If you can hide in the deep mountains and dense forests, maybe you can recover from your injuries for a month or two.
But most of this area is farmland, and the few woods are not large.
In the second group of people who were alive, they were sure that the tiger had eaten the spear, surrounded the woods, and waited for the arrival of the large army, and the end would be needless to say.
On this night, at least a dozen people died and many were injured.
The news couldn't be hidden, not to mention the heirs of the Ravanko family, who took the initiative to show off that they had hunted a tiger that hurt people.
The news soon spread to the surrounding cities.
More than three hours later, Chu Qianqian rode the red rabbit overnight and continued to gallop for 300 kilometers, almost reaching the outskirts of Mumbai.
Even the people and horses entered the novice village, and then washed the wheels and body of the Land Rover with water, washed off the dirt, and the left got into the car, appearing in the real world.
Drive up the concrete road and head back to your hotel.
After washing up and waking up, it was already past 10 o'clock in the morning.
Called the breakfast service, turned on the radio at the same time, last night when he was sleeping, flew back to the temple, soon came the news.
Last night's secret room shook, and it was actually seawater pouring into the secret room.
The temple is actually very close to the sea, and once the sea water really pours into the treasure house, the treasure thieves composed of ordinary people really don't have the ability to escape from the secret room in just a minute or two.
Even the time given to treasure thieves is actually only a few tens of seconds.
The tunnel dug by the stingray is dug down from the ground of the temple, which is equivalent to when the sea water rushes in, as long as the tunnel does not collapse, Chu Xiangqian is actually very safe.
After all, it's common sense that water stays low.
At this time, although the entire temple was not flooded by the sea, the secret room group on the right side of the temple where the No. 5 treasure house was located was also completely flooded.
For the treasure house builders hundreds of years ago, this method was to prevent thieves, but now, it has helped Chu Xiangqian.
The flooding of the secret room greatly increased the difficulty of the investigation.
Even because Chu Xiangqian entered the treasure house from top to bottom, the main door of the treasure house was not opened, but the water slowly filled the secret room outside the treasure house along the gap.
It is basically impossible to break through the huge stone door of the treasure house in the water unless it is blown up with explosives.
And once explosives are used, the monks in the temple and the Ravanko family, who are in charge of managing the temple, will not agree to the first.
It was already flooded with seawater, and if it was blown up with explosives, it was really possible to destroy the entire temple.
Once the monks of the temple and the people of the Ravanko family, incited the faithful to defend the temple.
Just pulling the skin may take a few years, more than ten years, and at that time, it will be even more difficult to find Chu Xiangqian.
But Chu Xiangqian was happy at first, and then scolded a few words secretly.
The chambers were flooded, and it was much more difficult for him to enter chamber 4 next to chamber 5 on the right side of the temple to see if there was also a hidden treasure trove.
