Chapter 31: The Treasure of the Cave

Mrs. Shi finished telling the story of her father-in-law Liu Shenxian.

He turned around and said to the master: "Since the water in this reservoir has been turned off, the dampness in the cave is getting heavier and heavier.

"Those books and belongings can no longer be put in the cave, many of them have been destroyed, so quickly find a dry and safe place, rearrange them, and keep them.

"If you can't let these things be destroyed in your hands, your Hu Sheng's sin will be great! You can't afford it.

"You can't let me, an old woman, figure it out, right?"

The master was so anxious that he sweated and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I am trying to find a way to move everything out before the year."

Mrs. Shi said, "All move out? Where to move to? Have you figured it out?

"There are so many things, pulled by the ship, you have to think about it carefully, you can't show the stuffing and attract thieves."

The master said: "I'm afraid of this, I'll find a way, first move some important ones to me, and some damp books out and let Qing'er and Aunt Chen dry them."

Mrs. Shi said angrily: "You are confused! Can you put something there? Do you ants move a little bit to the mountains?

"There is no one in the house who doesn't talk all day long, and those books that are hundreds of years old will be broken when they are sun, so they can only be put in the house to ventilate and dry.

The master opened his mouth, grabbed his head helplessly, and muttered, "I'll hurry up and find a way!" Find a way! ”

Mrs. Shi waved her hand: "Go, go and bring out the box of "The Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics", and let Pi Yang sort this out first."

"Okay, I'll go." The master turned around and left, and after walking a few steps, he saw me standing there and beckoned: "Nine, what are you doing standing?" Come with me. ”

I immediately followed.

Walking into Mrs. Shi's house, the room is not big, with a bed and a few cabinets. There is a desk in front of the bed, and above the desk is a niche, in which is a jade statue of a goddess, and I don't know who it is.

The master asked me and him to lift the bed to the side, and uncovered a piece of wood under the bed, revealing a square hole.

The house is covered with pine floors, and you won't find the planks until no one tells you.

The master picked up the flashlight on the table and drilled it down first.

I also followed to the entrance of the cave, and the master shone a flashlight below, and I found that it was a wooden ladder.

"Slow down." The master said.

I climbed down the ladder, which was wet and a little slippery.

The master lit a few candles on the stone wall, and by the dim light of the candles, I found that it was a stone cave.

The stone cave in front of me is not large, and it seems to be an entrance.

The master turned on the flashlight, kept going down, and lit the candle on the stone wall.

I walked forty or fifty meters to the winding stone cave, and the walls of the cave were wet, and in some places there was dripping water.

The air in the cave was very humid, cold, and smelled musty.

I walked more than ten meters of flat road, and at the end of the road, there was a stone gate.

The master pushed open the stone door, and in the light of the master's flashlight, I found that it was a large cave, the size of a dozen rooms.

The hole is also very damp, the ground is slippery, and the musty smell is stronger.

The master handed me the flashlight, and he lit a very old kerosene gas lamp.

At first, the lights dimmed, and the master was full of energy, and the gas lamp became brighter and brighter, illuminating a large area in front of him.

I found that the cave was full of large and small wooden boxes, some of which were piled up in a pile, and some of which were placed directly on the ground, estimated to be hundreds or even thousands.

Each wooden box has a wooden sign hanging on it, and the wooden sign has words on it.

The master flashed the flashlight, and used the flashlight to shine on these wooden boxes, and said in a low voice, "Do you know what these wooden boxes contain?"

I shook my head blankly.

The master said: "This is the treasure cave of King Kuang of Changmao, when he was defeated and fled, he hid the treasures of King Kuang's Mansion and his Taiping Army Holy Treasury here.

"This cave was later discovered by your master Liu Shenxian, who built this house and put the secrets of our Xuanyin Gate and some treasures of the Qingyin Gate for more than 2,000 years here."

I opened my mouth and stared wide, and in front of me was the treasure of Alibaba, which is the gold and silver sea that Mrs. Shi said!

The master said while looking for it: "The reservoir was repaired in five or eight years, and the water was stored in seven O's, and the cave became more and more damp, and things began to mold and rust.

"I've been sorting out with your master since I was seventy-two, and I've been shipping it out little by little.

"You see there's so much left, we're going to start hurrying.

"If it is destroyed in our hands, it is a great sin, I am sorry for the ancestors and ancestors, and the heads of the generations."

I was shocked again, the cave treasures in front of me, not to mention the treasures of the gold mountains and silver seas of King Kuang's mansion,

Not to mention that for more than ten years, the Taiping army has been in the richest place in the world, one by one, in the south of the Yangtze River, collecting countless wealth of Kuangwang Holy Treasury.

It is the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and antiques collected by the disciples of the Xuanyin Sect for more than 2,000 years, and they are all priceless treasures.

The piles of wooden boxes in front of me seemed to be a pair of glittering mountains of gold.

Rich, rich, I'm rich!

Soon, I calmed down.

Mrs. Shi asked me to pass the money pass, but the money pass is just a ghost gate.

I suddenly remembered the words of the ghost woman: If the ghost door is closed, how can you make a lot of money?

The gold and silver mountains in front of me, that is the wealth of Xuanyinmen, not me Zhang Tianyang, no! Zhang Piyang's personal property.

It was the common property of thousands of disciples of the Xuanyin Green Worm Heavenly Medicine Sect scattered all over the country and all over the world.

Mrs. Shi is right, just don't think about how much it's worth, it's just a cold piece of scrap copper and rotten iron.

Let him be of my use, and I shall not be plagued by him.

What is the master looking for with a flashlight? Look at it one plank at a time.

Finally he stood in front of a pile of wooden boxes, handed me the flashlight, and told me to shine it.

He moved the two wooden boxes on top, opened the third wooden box, and took out a bookcase from inside, with a line of seal script on it: The Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics.

"The Yellow Emperor's Outer Canon"? Could it be that this is the legendary long-lost Yellow Emperor's Outer Canon?

I know that there is the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, which is a must-read classic for students of Chinese medicine.

This is the Heavenly Doctor Sect's Heavenly Doctor's Peerless Learning?

The master closed the wooden box again, and put the original wooden box on the base.

I said, is the wooden box underneath all soaked? Let's get the following stuff out first.

The master said, "These wooden boxes underneath are empty, and your master and I have already moved out, let's go."

The master asked me to walk in front with the bookcase, and he turned on the gas lamp in the back and closed the stone door.

We walked back along the stone cave from which we came, and the master blew out the candles on the stone wall in the back.

Crawling out of the hole, I finally got a breath of fresh air. The air inside was too humid and smelly too musty!

Put the planks back up and put the bed back in place.

When we came outside, the boatman was already standing at the gate of the courtyard and came to pick us up.

After the master had already packed up her things, she handed me the clothes that had been dried, and asked me to change out of my robe, wrap it in a bookcase, and put it in a bamboo basket.

We were ready to leave and say hello to Mrs. Shi.

At this time, Wanqing said to me softly: "Senior brother, please can you find a Kangxi dictionary, there are many words in these books in the Xinhua dictionary."

Kangxi Dictionary. I haven't seen it either, it's in the university library, I've never borrowed it, and I don't know if it's sold.

But I promised Wanqing: "Okay, I'll look for it." What else do you want, next time I'll come along? ”

Wanqing thought for a while and said, "What do you think I want?"

I was blindfolded all of a sudden, what do girls want? How do I know?
