The candlelight flickered in the dim cave, and Liu Ruxiang and I looked back together.
Then nothing could be seen.
I saw the sparks of fire on the incense, and the smoke from the incense floated directly outside the cave.
Liu Ruxiang and I sang Master's scriptures in unison. In the blink of an eye, we found that the entire cave was much cleaner, and there was no longer the gloomy feeling just now.
A simple salvation ritual that didn't even open the altar could have such a great effect.
Liu Ruxiang said in a deep voice: "Those words written on the ground are not true at all. This family of five, three eldest and two young, wanted to die to express their will. It can be said that they are full of resentment. If there were really Ming court officers and soldiers who touched this cave at that time, they would have been killed by this." The ghost's revenge will not only endanger the whole family, but at least drag one or two people to death."
"Hundreds of years have passed today, and the souls of these ancestors can rest in peace."
Liu Ruxiang sighed softly, and then led me towards the wooden door deep in the cave.
The humidity in the deep mountains of Lingnan is relatively high. Hundreds of years have passed, and the wooden door has long since rotted, and the large iron lock on it has long been opened.
This cave is hidden in a hidden location. Once someone comes, they will definitely know that there is a treasure hidden in it, and they will definitely try to destroy the door to get in. No matter what they use to block it, it will not work. After all, this is not the tomb of an emperor or a king.
Liu Ruxiang took out a machete and slashed at the wooden door a few times, and a lot of debris fell out of the gray-black wooden door.
After a while, she immediately pulled me back and saw the entire door collapse backwards.
"Boom——"
Stirring up a large pool of smoke, dust and sand.
I covered my nose and eyes and waited for a while before relaxing.
Turn on the flashlight, and tiny dust floats in the beam.
Finally, we have opened this treasure that so many people have been dreaming about and are willing to kill each other for it.
Liu Ruxiang sighed and fanned the air in front of her nose.
"Come on, let's go in."
Shining the flashlight inside, it is indeed very similar to the descriptions of the ghosts.
The cave is quite large, and you can tell from the inside that it was dug manually.
Tan Gongwang is also a smart man. If you want to get up such a cliff, you can only pass through the big tree. When there is no way out, cutting down the big tree can isolate the enemy's impact and attack.
Moreover, Jiu has finally been discovered. If he wants to hang a rope from the cliff on the top of the mountain and attack by force, as long as the people in the cave hold a spear and come down and stab each one to death, it will not take any effort.
There are many huge wooden boxes placed throughout the cave.
Liu Ruxiang took out a handkerchief, held it carefully, and then walked to one of the treasure boxes.
Liu Ruxiang said that ancient people liked to put poisons in institutions and treasures to prevent others from stealing.
But since Qin Gongwang's cousin just said that he would ask future generations to take it away, there is no big problem in thinking about it. Such a righteous person will not lie to others.
Liu Ruxiang emphasized that it is better to be careful.
There was no lock on these wooden boxes, only an iron buckle. With a slight lift, the long rusty iron piece broke and fell to the ground.
Opening the wooden box, I saw the contents inside.
Those things had a faint copper-green sheen, and you could tell without even looking that they were coins of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu picked up a few pieces with his handkerchief and looked at them.
"The coins are of good quality. These things can be worth a lot of money if sold to people in this business."
I got excited when I heard the money, and immediately encouraged the master to continue opening the box.
Liu Ruxiang rolled her eyes at me and slowly walked towards a closed box next to her.
The contents of this box were extraordinary. It was actually a box full of silver and several stacks of white paper.
Seeing that I didn't understand, Liu Ruxiang explained: "The output of paper in ancient times was very low, and high-quality paper was priceless. Many scholars from poor families did not dare to write on paper, and only some dignitaries and wealthy families used it. You can afford paper. There is even a sentence that says, 'If you are poor, you will dig up gold and turn it into copper; if you are rich, you will pick up white paper and turn it into cloth.' So it can be seen how valuable white paper is."
There was just a slight look of surprise on my face, and then I sighed: "That's it, these papers are worthless now."
But Liu Ruxiang said with a smile: "That's not what you said. This is ancient paper after all. It seems to be high-quality rice paper. You must know that it is very expensive to have ancient characters on it, and it is in good condition. , I believe there are many people who specialize in making fakes who will like this kind of thing."
Liu Ruxiang just made a few hints, and I understood immediately.
Yes, why didn't I think of this?
Sure enough, vision determines wealth.
If I were to deal with these things and sell the copper coins and silver in batches, I would probably not even look at these papers.
Liu Ruxiang closed the wooden box first, then turned around and opened another box.
The contents of this box are quite interesting.
It was full of spear heads.
Liu Ruxiang slowly explained to me: "In ancient times, the imperial court specialized in salt and iron, and the circulation of iron among the people was very small. In some periods, the rulers of the feudal dynasty were afraid of the people's rebellion, so they directly confiscated the world's iron tools, so that the people could only use them to cut vegetables. Porcelain tiles.”
"If the rebels want to make a comeback, the most lacking thing is iron weapons. Those ancient novels and books are too fake, and they only have broadswords and long swords. There is no one in the army who is so arrogant. Common generals use them. A long sword is only as long as a person's forearm. Therefore, the iron spearhead is the most cost-effective weapon with the greatest lethality."
I nodded, feeling like I gained a lot of knowledge.
Liu Ruxiang continued to open the box, and finally opened a whole box of gold from a small wooden box.
These gold are not gold ingots, but the shape of pancakes.
In ancient dynasties and generations, although gold was not a commonly used currency, it was still a precious metal and most people would never own it in their lifetime.
These resources are definitely enough to make a comeback.
This Tan Gongwang seemed to be a rough guy, but he didn't expect that he was so thoughtful.
At this moment, Liu Ruxiang looked at the small wooden box containing gold and seemed to see something.
She shook the wooden box, pulled the gold pick aside, and then slowly took out a thin slice from the bottom of the wooden box.
Liu Ruxiang took out the thin slice and put down the wooden box.
Uncover the sheet and flatten it completely. There are many small words written densely on it, and many patterns are drawn on it. After completely spreading it out, I found that it is a piece of oil paper the size of a tabletop.
This paper should have been treated with special oil, making the words on it look very transparent.
But only in this way can the above information be preserved intact from the Ming Dynasty to today.
