Chapter 52: Finding the Treasure and Entering the Peach Garden
I saw that it was dark under the stone gate, and there was no bottom, but there was a row of stone steps extending downward. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoOuyang Yue picked up a stone and threw it under the stone gate. It took a long time to hear the echo of the stone falling to the ground. Ouyang Yue heard that it was only the sound of the stone falling to the ground, and it did not trigger other abnormalities, so he said with peace of mind: "Stone, let's go down." However, it is quite deep underneath, so we should be extra careful when walking so as not to fall down. As he spoke, he blew the fire fold he brought with him and took Zhao Lei step by step down the steps.
They went all the way down fairly smoothly and did not encounter any unexpected situations. It wasn't until they reached the bottom that they found that there were dark stone walls all around, and there was no treasure. Zhao Lei said: "Yue'er, there's nothing here." ”
Ouyang Yue didn't answer, just tapped the surrounding walls a few times with the hilt of his sword. When you hit the wall in front of you, the sound was crisper than anything else. Ouyang Yue said: "This is also a door. We look for anything special in the vicinity, or if there are bumps in the neighborhood. These could all be the mechanisms that open the stone door. With that, he and Zhao Lei looked for the starting point together.
Soon, Zhao Lei touched a stone wall with a door knocker exactly the same as the one on the ground. Ouyang Yue unscrewed the door knocker according to the previous method, and then inserted the 'Dragon Tooth Sword' into it and twisted it half a circle to the right, and sure enough, the stone door in front of him opened again. When the stone door was just opened, a strong and dazzling golden light immediately made Ouyang Yue and Zhao Lei dizzy, unable to open their eyes. When I opened my eyes, I saw that there were mountains of gold, silver, jade, antiques and all kinds of rare treasures. All of a sudden, Ouyang Yue and Zhao Lei were dumbfounded. Even Ouyang Yue, who opened a money bank at home, said after a long time: "There are a lot of gold and silver jewelry! Although my family is a money bank, I have never seen so much gold and silver jewelry." If I use it, I won't be able to use it for ten lifetimes. So saying, he ran to the front box and took a string of pearls and played with it. After Ouyang Yue commented on the string of beads, he went back and looked back to see what Zhao Lei was doing.
I saw Zhao Lei looking left and right, neither touching anything, nor excited, still looking stupid. Ouyang Yue said strangely: "Hey, what are you doing, you don't seem to like these things, do you?"
Zhao Lei heard Ouyang Yue's question, but he didn't know how to answer. I want to say I like it, but I really don't have much interest in these things. If you don't like it, seeing Ouyang Yue's excited and happy appearance, she can't bear to spoil her interest. So he said: "Yue'er, it would be nice if you liked it yourself." I don't even know if I like it or not. ”
Ouyang Yue was even more strange when he saw Zhao Lei's answer so vaguely, and walked over to Zhao Lei with the string of beads and said, "Stone, do you know how much silver this string of beads is worth?"
Zhao Lei shook his head.
Ouyang Yue said again: "This string of beads, each one is the size of a thumb, and the grains are full and flawless. Behold, it is worth at least a million taels. Ouyang Yue felt that Zhao Lei would be surprised when he heard one million taels, so when he said 'one million taels', he deliberately lengthened his voice to emphasize. However, I didn't expect Zhao Lei to react flatly, as if he didn't care. Ouyang Yue was quite disappointed and said, "Stone, do you know what a million taels can do?"
Zhao Lei said: "I don't know. Ouyang Yue said again: "One million taels can buy another 'Cold Light Sword'." You can eat what you want for a lifetime, or you can go around and play for a lifetime. You said that a million taels is not a lot of money. What's more, there are all kinds of treasures all over the place, and if they are all exchanged for silver, it is really incalculable. I'll give you this string of beads. As he spoke, he put the beads in his hand on Zhao Lei.
However, Zhao Lei was still confused: "Yue'er, but I don't know what I want it for?"
Ouyang Yue took a sip and said, "Stone, why are you stupid again." Didn't I just say, you can exchange it for silver in the future, and then you can buy what you want. ”
Zhao Lei was a little embarrassed: "However, I follow you to have both delicious food and fun, what do I want these things for? What's more, these things belong to others, how can we take them casually." Let's put it back where we came and go. ”
Ouyang Yue was quite happy after listening to Zhao Lei's first half of the sentence, and felt that Zhao Lei was also reasoning about the second half of the sentence. So, he retrieved the bead on Zhao Lei's body and put it back in its original place.
Zhao Lei said again: "Yue'er, who did you say put this thing here?"
Ouyang Yue said: "It's Goujian, the king of Yue." ”
Zhao Lei said: "Oh! Then Goujian, the king of Yue, must be very powerful." You can have so much gold and silver jewelry, and you can hide it all here. ”
Ouyang Yue laughed after hearing this: "Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was an emperor of Yue during the Warring States Period, of course he is powerful. Not only that, but the sword in your hand is the same one he used back then. ”
Zhao Lei said ashamedly: "So that's the case, I thought that the Yue Wang Goujian you said was just an ordinary person." It turned out to be an emperor in ancient times, no wonder there were so many gold, silver and jewelry, and such a good sword. Ah, by the way, Yue'er, why did he hide so much gold, silver and jewelry here?"
Ouyang Yue said: "The emperor's mind has been difficult for ordinary people to guess since ancient times. I don't know why he did it. I only heard my father and mother say that Goujian, the king of Yue, buried such a big treasure here, so that his children and grandchildren could use this wealth to save Yue when the Yue country was in danger. However, what he didn't expect was that before this wealth was used, the Yue Kingdom would have already come to perish. It can be seen that even if you have countless wealth, sometimes you are helpless. In the end, Ouyang Yue couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Lei said again: "Yue'er, then where should we go now?"
Ouyang Yue said: "It's so rare for us to come here, let's take a look at it first and see if there's anything interesting here." As he spoke, he took Zhao Lei to wander around. However, after walking through the whole treasure house, there was nothing special except gold, silver, and jewelry. This made Ouyang Yue quite disappointed. When she just wanted to leave with Zhao Lei, she found that there seemed to be a stone door at the end of the treasure house.
The stone door is also opened by a mechanism, and this mechanism is not installed in a hidden place, but on a wall lamp on the right side of the stone door. Ouyang Yue rotated the wall lamp, and the stone door slowly opened. When I entered the door, I saw a bed, a table, a chair, and a desk. And these things are not only beautifully made, but also carved dragons and phoenixes, like an emperor's bedroom. Ouyang Yue felt quite strange, and said in his heart: "Could it be that in addition to burying treasures here, people can also live here?" Ouyang Yue lit the lamp inside and saw that there was another stone door in the bedroom. Flip the switch of the stone door, and the stone door opens. I saw that outside the stone gate was a hall, on which a dragon chair and some other court utensils were placed. Presumably, the hall was used to convene the emperor's ministers to discuss the matter. Ouyang Yue was even more strange, and said in his heart: "There is a bedroom here, there is a hall, it is like a basement that can be lived in for a long time." Could it be that it was designed as a place of refuge where treasures can be hidden and hidden?If so, then there should be a place to store food, so where is it?" So Ouyang Yue took Zhao Lei to find another passage in the hall.
Soon, they found another stone door on the left side of the hall. Turning on the stone door reveals a passageway. Ouyang Yue and Zhao Lei walked along the passage, turned left and right, walked for half a burnt incense time, and finally came to the end of the passage. As soon as they walked out of the passage, Ouyang Yue and Zhao Leidun felt that the air was fresh and fragrant. The two of them looked around and saw that the exit was located in a hidden spot on a small hillside. The birds and flowers are singing at the foot of the mountain, the fruit trees are in the forest, and the spring water is murmuring, as if you have come to a paradise.
