Chapter 317: The Treasure of the Duke of Qian


Yang Jing grabbed the vines and quickly climbed down, and soon came to the stone door, at this time Yang Jing found that the stone door that was originally immovable, now began to slowly sink down, and at the same time, Yang Jing also found that about one and a half meters below the stone gate, a large amount of fine sand continued to leak out of a hollow, and poured down directly along the cliff.

After a little pondering, Yang Jing figured out where the mechanism of this door was.

When the stone gate was first erected, the bottom should have been empty, and then a large amount of fine sand was filled in the hollow space below, and then the door was placed on top of the fine sand.

As long as the fine sand does not leak, then it will always hold on to this door, so that the stone gate cannot sink.

But once the sand begins to leak from the bottom, the sand will sink and the heavy stone door will sink with it, eventually exposing the entire passage.

And the mechanism that controls the leakage of fine sand is the stone fifteen meters above!

As long as the stone is pushed in, the sand leak underneath will be opened.

After pondering and understanding the structure of the entire mechanism, Yang Jin couldn't help but sigh secretly that the guy who designed this stone gate was too smart.

As the fine sand continued to pour outward, the stone gate descended more and more.

However, when the stone gate descended to a position of about one meter, it did not even descend downward.

Yang Jing looked down, and sure enough, the opening no longer poured fine sand outward.

As soon as you think about it, you will know what is going on.

I don't know how many years these fine sand have existed in this, the upper part is estimated to have already occurred the phenomenon of compaction, and the sand that is not compacted below flows out, and the cemented sand does not move, and the stone gate naturally cannot sink.

But this doesn't matter, anyway, now the stone gate has opened an opening of about a meter and a half, and it is completely possible to drill in.

Yang Jing did not rush to drill in, but put his face close to the open opening, and when he clearly felt that the cool breeze that continued to gush out from this opening did not have any rotten smell, he was relieved to boldly drill in.

A cave like this, which has been sealed for an unknown number of years, is usually dangerous if you venture into it.

But it is clear that this cave where the treasure is buried is obviously not a completely sealed cave, and there should be vents in the cave, otherwise there will be no air convection.

But even so, when Yang Jing got in, he still took out a set of miniature oxygen tanks from the space, and also took out a miner's hat with a spotlight on his forehead and a gas mask.

After putting it on, Yang Jing turned on the spotlight on the miner's hat, held a strong light flashlight in his hand, and at the same time took out the 4 combat shotguns with bullets on his body, held a strong light flashlight in one hand and a combat shotgun in the other, and then began to walk slowly towards the depths of the dark passage.

The passage is clearly natural and wide, more than two meters high and more than two meters wide.

It is narrowed at the entrance, and judging from the narrow place of two or three meters at the entrance, this section should be artificially excavated.

Yang Jing walked carefully along the passage diagonally downward, walked for about three or four minutes, and after walking an estimated distance of fifty or sixty meters downward, his eyes suddenly opened up, and a huge hole appeared in front of Yang Jing's eyes.

The cavity is seven or eight meters high, the longest is more than 40 meters long, and the narrowest part is about 20 meters, and the exit of this passage is located about five meters above the ground.

Standing in this place, Yang Jing could clearly feel that there was constantly a cool breeze pouring from this huge hole towards the passage where he was standing, it was obvious that this hole was not sealed, there should be other exits or vents or other passages.

Standing at the edge of the passage, Yang Jing cautiously looked down and found that there were some hollows on the rock wall below the passage entrance, and it was obvious that these depressions were used up and down.

Put the flashlight in his pocket, and put the combat shotgun back into the space, Yang Jing carefully climbed down along these hollows, and when standing on the hollow ground, Yang Jing felt that the hollow was really big.

This is not a cave in the ordinary sense of the word, because the mountain is not limestone, but solid granite.

In other words, this cavity must have been formed during the orogeny, perhaps when the mountain was still in the soft stage, and the gas rushing up from the ground washed out such a huge cavity in the mountain.

Not far from the passage down, there was a more spacious passage that extended diagonally downward, Yang Jing stood at the mouth of the passage and tried it, and found that there was no convection air there, but it was obvious that this wide passage should be another exit from this cave.

Yang Jing wore a gas mask and carried an oxygen cylinder with him, so he walked down this more spacious passage without hesitation.

After walking for seven or eight minutes, Yang Jing estimated that he had walked out for more than 200 meters, and he should have almost arrived outside, and the front was completely blocked by a pile of rocks.

After walking this circle, Yang Jing knew it in his heart.

Obviously, the huge hollow just now should be located on the mountainside of this lonely mountain, and the general location should be at the location where the "wotou" and "cut cake" are connected, and it should be more southeast.

In other words, about one-tenth of the huge "cake-cutting" at the top of the mountain is located on this hollow.

As for this blocked passage, it should be the original entrance to this hollow, but when this hollow was used to hold treasures, this entrance was completely blocked.

The man who buried the treasure opened an exit from the passage above, and set up a heavy stone door at the exit Although he didn't know if his guess was right, Yang Jing also felt that he should guess eight or nine, otherwise why would he use so many boulders to block it?

Yang Jing turned around and walked back, and after walking to the hollow, he began to carefully examine the hollow. walked around the edge of the hollow, and finally when he walked to the other end, a raised stone platform made Yang Jing completely excited.

This stone platform is more than 30 square meters, more than a meter higher than the uneven hollow ground, and on this stone platform, dozens of huge wooden boxes are placed, and the Holy Ring has a strong sense of being attracted, which comes from these huge wooden boxes.

Each of these boxes was a meter square and covered with dust.

Strangely enough, I don't know how many years these boxes have been here, and although there are vents and other passages in this hollow, this is in northern Myanmar after all, and although the air is not as humid as outside, it is definitely not dry.

It's obviously a bit unbelievable that these boxes are intact in such a humid environment.

If the average wooden box is in this environment, it is estimated that it will rot in forty or fifty years, but it is obvious that none of these boxes in front of me are rotten.

Yang Jing gently wiped off the dust on the box and quietly activated the identification skill, but the answer given by the Holy Ring made Yang Jing almost jump.

"Jin Si Nan gloomy wooden box, 1659, Mu Tianbo."

"Hiss" Yang Jing gasped, these dozens of large wooden boxes turned out to be made of Jin Sinan's gloomy wood, which was too extravagant!

Gloomy wood, also known as ebony, is caused by earthquakes, floods, and mudslides to bury all the plants and creatures on the ground into low-lying places such as ancient riverbeds.

Some trees buried in the silt are formed by the carbonization process of thousands or even tens of thousands of years under the action of bacteria and other microorganisms under the condition of lack of oxygen and high pressure, so they are also called "carbonized wood".

There are many kinds of gloomy woods, including hemp willow tree, green oka tree, camphor tree, golden silk nanmu, small-leaved nanmu, red almond wood, yew wood, masang, yellow willow wood, cork, locust wood, etc.

These logs have been buried in the ground for thousands of years, and because of their age, their density is very large, and their quality is strong, among which the golden silk nan gloomy wood is the most valuable.

It is one of the most precious varieties of ebony, and it takes great chance to find it.

There is a saying among the people that "10,000 taels of gold are sent to the underworld, in exchange for ebony sacrifices to the heavenly spirit".

Because the gloomy wood of Jin Si Nan is a mysterious and precious "treasure" and "artifact", there is another folk saying that "even if there is a box of jewelry, it is not as good as the ebony side".

This precious wood is known as the "Emperor Wood".

It's no wonder that these wooden chests have been stored here for so long and have not decayed, and they turned out to be made of gloomy wood.

This kind of ebony can remain incorruptible for thousands of years even if it is buried in the ground.

And what shocked Yang Jing was not these wooden boxes, but the person who made these wooden boxes turned out to be Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo!

Who is Mu Tianbo?

The founding general of the Ming Dynasty, the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the eleventh grandson of Mu Ying, the Duke of Qianguo, and the last generation of the Duke of Qianguo in the Ming Dynasty.

Mu Tianbo has been the hereditary duke of Qianguo since he was ten years old, and guarded Nanyun for the Ming royal family.

Later, Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang fled to Nanyun, and Mu Tianbo followed Emperor Yongli into Burma to flee, and finally died in the cursed water disaster.

The Mu family has guarded Nanyun for generations and is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youlang, fled to Nanyun, and Mu Tianbo also assisted Zhu Youlang in resisting the Qing army together with Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang.

If Mu Tianbo, Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang could work together, Zhu Youlang's small court might not be able to maintain it in Nanyun, but Sun Kewang's wolf ambition betrayed Emperor Yongli, which led to a great reduction in the power of the Ming army, and Wu Sangui took the opportunity to break Nanyun.

In desperation, Zhu Youlang had to leave the general Li Dingguo to lead the army to continue to resist the Qing army in the Yungui generation, while he led the small court to flee into Burma.

As a result, he did not end well in Burma, and was finally wiped out by the rebellious Burmese king, which completely ended the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Jing is also familiar with this period of history, and his natural way is that Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo at that time, was the main minister who escorted Zhu Youlang into Burma, but how could these big wooden boxes containing obviously royal treasures appear here?

Mu Tianbo's loyalty to the royal family is naturally undoubted, but how can these treasures be explained?

Yang Jing scratched his ears and cheeks a little
