The only thing valuable to the tribe now is these lands, and the useless sacrificial hall that they have to face reality now.
If they can exchange it for half a million dollars, the people in the tribe can have a better life whether they go out to settle or stay here!
Yin Kelam whispered to his father:
"Promise, father! We only have one chance! Otherwise, the hall may be occupied by relevant departments, and nothing will be left by then..."
Ai Li is old and rough, and he is still wondering why Zhu Yu spent half a million dollars to keep this hall.
Needless to say about the land, now that Kazakhstan has fewer people and more land, the land in this remote place is definitely worthless.
With half a million US dollars, Zhu Yu can start breeding near big cities such as Almaty. Not only is the transportation convenient, it is also easy to find workers.
Then there must be something in this hall that attracts Zhu Yu!
However, Aili obviously couldn't see as clearly as his son. Yin Kelamu felt the reason for his father's hesitation and continued to persuade:
"Father, have you forgotten? It's not like we haven't searched around the hall or even underground, but we didn't find anything! Zate even bought a metal detector from the city at a high price, but we couldn't find the treasure hidden anywhere! Even if there is , that’s not what we can find...with these five hundred thousand dollars, we have enough to live in the city peacefully!”

Yin Kelamu doesn't have much ambition, he just simply doesn't want to live here anymore.
How wonderful life is in the city!
Even if you buy a house and find a job in a town near the city, it will be better than here!
Ai Li sighed and nodded, so be it!
Taking Zhu Yu and the others to the huge yurt, Aili first asked Yin Kelamu to send the experts away.
Those experts obviously didn't want to leave. The leader guessed that the conditions given by Zhu Yu made Ai Li's heart move, and he shouted loudly:
"You can't do this! They are Chinese! You can't hand over the things of our ancestors to them!"
However, the people in the tribe ignored what he said. They followed Yin Kelamu and packed the experts into the car. After threatening them, the driver immediately drove away with a puff of smoke.
Of course, the words left by the expert in the sky are indispensable: "I will come back!"
At this time, Eli began to gather other adults in the tribe.
Zhu Yu took out the copper seal at the right time.
"This is my token." Zhu Yu showed the copper seal to Aili.
He felt that this copper seal had something to do with the hole on the altar.
But Ai Li obviously didn't recognize this copper seal, and his expression didn't show the joy of seeing the copper seal.
But Ai Li smiled on the surface and said:
"That's great! At least if we sell that square kilometer to you, we won't be violating the rules of our ancestors!"
Zhu Yu was a little disappointed. He thought that there was at least a record of this bronze seal passed down in Aili's tribe, but there wasn't.
However, this disappointment only lasted for a moment. He took out the copper seal just to make things smoother, and had no intention of getting close.
As long as the money is paid, he believes that these people will not stop him or make things difficult for him.
Of course, Zhu Yu will not be lenient if he is blocked!
Calling together the relevant people in the tribe, Ai Li announced excitedly:
"This Mr. Zhu from China is the person our tribe has been waiting for for thousands of years!
He holds in his hand the token sent by our ancestors thousands of years ago, and now he has found us! He promised to let the people in our tribe live a good life!
He has brought a large amount of funds. If people in our tribe want to move out of here and go to towns in the future, it will be possible! Our tribe's thousand-year guardianship responsibility has been completed, so everyone, cheers! "
When Aili said this, the people in the tribe showed shocked expressions on their faces!
Some people even cried with excitement!
The thousand-year protection of the tribe is both an honor and a pressure for them.
It used to be okay, this place was like a paradise. During the war, at least it won't be affected here. The water here is abundant and the grass is beautiful, so there is no pressure to raise cattle and sheep.
But it was easy to feed people in the war years, but now it is difficult.
It's not that they can't survive, but once they've seen the colorful world outside, how can these young people calm down and stay here?
Now that someone has taken over this responsibility and is willing to pay to help them settle down near the town, how could they not be willing?
Although half a million US dollars is not much, Kazakhstan's country's consumption level is not high, and the tribe itself has some wealth accumulation, so it is completely possible to settle down near the town. As for how to survive in the future, these people are not worried.
As long as we leave here and don't have that heavy burden, we can survive no matter what!
Not everyone has a strong sense of responsibility like Eli!
The matter was settled like that.
Zhu Yu wanted to transfer money to them, but Yin Kelamu was unwilling.
"We want cash."
"Well, let's go to the city. This land transfer also requires a contract, so we can handle this together."
Zhu Yu took out his backpack, first took out 10,000 US dollars and handed it to Eli:
"This ten thousand US dollars is a deposit. How about we go through the formalities and settle the rest in person?"
Ai Li and Yin Kelam looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Let's go through the formalities tomorrow." Yin Kelamu suggested, "It's already late today. Why don't we celebrate here and go to the city to go through the formalities early tomorrow morning."
This was approved by Zhu Yu.
When a big event is completed, the whole tribe is in a festive atmosphere.
Zhu Yu walked around the tribe, while Aili, Yin Kelamu and others celebrated by killing cattle and sheep.
Everyone Zhu Yu met had a smile on their face and greeted Zhu Yu enthusiastically. Although Zhu Yu couldn't understand, he knew what they meant.
"Boss, I can see that they like you very much." Cao Dalong couldn't help but say as he watched a beautiful tribal girl smile sweetly at Zhu Yu.
After the girl left, Zhu Yu said:
"That's because you have bad eyesight - they are all happy today and smile when they see everyone."
Cao Dalong Didigu:
"I want them to smile when they see me, but they don't look at me either."
Towards the afternoon, Yin Kelamu invited Zhu Yu and others to the large yurt and asked him to take the main seat. After a very emotional talk, Mr. Aili began to celebrate.
Yin Kelamu cut meat for Zhu Yu and introduced the people sitting in the yurt.
Most of them were old people about the same age as Aili, and there were not many young people. Soon a few girls came in wearing national costumes, dancing and toasting with wine glasses.
Zhu Yu was the first to be toasted, and each girl toasted with a toast, singing and dancing at the same time.
Although he didn't understand it, Zhu Yu knew it.
Zhu Yu did not reject anyone who came, and drank after being greeted. It was okay at first, Yin Silamu and the others didn't feel much at all.
Most people on horseback can drink, but I didn't expect that Zhu Yu was like the one with a cheating device. After a while, he drank two kilograms, but his face didn't change and his mind was clear. This is a bit awesome!
Zhu Yu didn't just drink passively, he also took the initiative to toast Aili and others. As a result, these old men fell down one by one without eating much meat.
Ran Jie and others knew Zhu Yu's drinking capacity and did not dissuade him. However, they did not drink. Yin Kelamu tried to dissuade him several times but did not persuade him, so he stopped dissuading him.
After all, it would be difficult for them to deal with Zhu Yu alone.
After two hours, everyone including Yin Kelamu went back to the yurt to rest.
However, Zhu Yu did not rest. He told Alimujiang who was accompanying him that he would just take a look around and left the yurt.
Alimujiang was also a bit too much. After all, he was the bridge between the two sides. Those young people were happy, so they gave him a few more glasses, and then there were more.
Zhu Yu slowly walked towards the back mountain as if looking at the scenery.
Ran Jie and others quickly followed, and Zhu Yu said:
"Ran Jie just comes. Qin Fei, you and Da Long stay here. If there is any unexpected situation, it's better to deal with it."
Qin Fei nodded. Although Cao Dalong was a little reluctant, Zhu Yu was the boss and Cao Dalong didn't want to listen to him when he made the decision.
After entering the mountain, Zhu Yu's pace quickened, and he arrived in front of the main hall again in less than two-thirds of the time it took him to do so.
"You stay outside and I'll go in and take a look."
Ran Jie immediately found a place to guard and observe the surrounding situation.
Zhu Yu went downstairs and walked all the way to the altar.
The hole on the altar was really square. He had guessed it before, so he took out the copper seal and stuffed it in.
The copper seal was a bit big. Zhu Yu looked carefully and found that the hole had been stained with some soil for a long time.
Zhu Yu took out a knife from the space, carefully scraped away the dirt and sand around the hole, then took out the soil inside, and then put the copper seal in again.
Perfect fit.
If it weren't for the wolf's head button on the copper seal, it would not be easy to lift it up.
Zhu Yu looked at it and started twisting the copper seal.
He previously thought that by twisting it left and right like this, he should be able to make the altar move.
After all, the clairvoyance can tell that there is a mechanism under this altar, a very ancient mechanism made of bronze and stone.
But he couldn't twist it left or right.
Could it be that the mechanism is rusty? Or is there another way to enable it?
After all, it’s right to think about it. With such a hole, many people should be able to think of stuffing it with something similar, such as a chipped piece of wood, stuffing it in and seeing if it can be twisted.
Someone must have tried it.
Zhu Yu opened his heavenly eye and took another look, and found that the mechanism could only be opened here, otherwise he would have to try to blow up the door to the other side.
The amount of work would be huge. If the technology is not up to standard, the space behind it may be blown up!
Zhu Yu took out the copper seal, reached out and dug through the hole, but nothing came out.
However, he touched it carefully with his fingers and could feel that there were two layers inside the hole: an upper layer and a lower layer.
Zhu Yu suddenly remembered that this copper seal was also two-layered!
He inserted the copper seal in again and twisted it hard.
It’s really screwed!
With his Heavenly Eye open, Zhu Yu could see that only the upper half of the copper seal was rotating, and the lower half was not moving!
really!
"Boom!"
There was a huge noise in the wall directly opposite the door.
But looking at it with the naked eye, nothing can be seen.
Zhu Yu knew that the stone skin blocked the movement inside!
If it's someone else, I really don't know what's going on.
Zhu Yu stepped forward and slowly groped around the stone skin, and then felt a little gap.
He took out the knife again and slowly pried along the stone binding. Soon, he pried off a layer of stone slab that was one meter high, one meter wide and ten centimeters thick!
As soon as the stone slab was pried off, Zhu Yu saw the dark stone door behind!
A large gust of wind rushed from Zhu Yu's side into the cave.
There was also a wave of moisture inside.
Zhu Yu didn't go in immediately. He waited until the moisture gradually became sluggish, then opened his eyes and walked in.
This Shimen Cave is very long, almost ten meters long. Even if someone comes with a metal detector, they can't find anything behind it.
After walking through the cave, the scenery suddenly opened up!
The enclosed space at the back is the size of two basketball courts.
The ceiling is lower than the sacrificial hall outside, but it is still more than ten meters high.
On the stone platforms on both sides of the entrance, there are two "deer stones" made of gold and almost half a meter high, or in other words, the image of a grassland stone man.
A big-headed doll with a stone pillar underneath.
Such ancient stone relics have been found in Yinli and Alt in Western Xinjiang. Some people call it grassland stone man, while others call it deer stone.
But here, it's made of gold!
Then there are two golden sitting wolves!
Just these four gold statues weigh at least nearly a hundred kilograms, which is almost five to six million dollars in US dollars, and that's not counting the value of antiques!
This is ten times the profit!
Looking further inside, there are gold or gem products placed on each stone platform.
Pairs of gold kettles with beams, gold daggers, and gold back-bound kneeling figurines.
It can be seen that they should all be sacrificial items.
There is also a gold mask inlaid with dozens of red and emerald stones.
It's not an exaggeration, just put it on your head.
Zhu Yu could feel that these sacrificial items also had some energy - could this be related to the fact that they were sacrificial items?
This made Zhu Yu immediately think of the energy in the sacrifices of the Indian tribe.
Is this connected?
But this is not something that can be studied now. Zhu Yu could feel that there was not a lot of energy in these things.
After Zhu Yu admired it for a while, he immediately put these things away one by one.
At the very back, on the largest stone platform, was a piece of wood.
This made Zhu Yu very curious, there was actually wood placed here!
This position should be the most important, why is there wood?
Zhu Yu stepped forward to take a look and found that the wood was slowly changing after contact with the air.
Zhu Yu immediately put the wood away and would study it later when he had a chance.
After collecting the items on the stone platform, there were only eighteen items in total, including one mask and one piece of wood, which added up to an even number.
After putting these things away, Zhu Yu looked around again and found that there was nothing else, so he immediately walked out.
Although it feels like there should be ventilation holes in it, the smell is still not very good.
After leaving this closed space, Zhu Yu felt much more comfortable.
He pressed the stone slab back, then returned to the altar, and twisted the copper seal in the opposite direction. There was a rumbling sound from the secret door again, and the stone door was closed.
After taking out the copper seal, he found that the lower layer was not brought out, so Zhu Yu used a knife to slowly pry the copper seal out.
After adding some more soil to disguise the hole, Zhu Yu left with satisfaction.
