Standing on the same stone slab inside the ancestral hall, Baichi looked around. Except for a large altar table facing the gate, the entire ancestral hall consisted of two rows of weapons leaning on both sides.

Shelves, nothing else.

The shelf behind the altar where the ancestors' rankings should be placed is also empty. Bai Chi has known this since he was a child. It is strange that Baijia Village only has genealogy but no tablets.

He habitually took out a trumpet from his pocket, and Bai Chi wanted to light it up and take a few puffs. He got this bad habit after staying in the detention center for two months. But when he looked back and thought that this was an ancestral hall, Bai Chi grabbed the trumpet in his hand.

Inside, it accidentally fell on the bluestone slab at my feet.

Just when Bai Chi was about to bend down to pick it up, his eyes widened suddenly, because the bluestone slab was a little different at this time. There was a trace of light in the dark ancestral hall. When he took a closer look, it turned out to be the four pillars on the four sides of the ancestral hall.

Among the light coming in from the small window, one of the lights shines on this stone slab.

Is there something special about this? Looking at the light reflected in, Bai Chi's heart moved. He looked up and looked above his head, and he actually discovered something different. The light reflected from the other three stones on the floor did not appear again.

Refracted, the piece at the foot of the Baichi reflected towards the dome of the ancestral hall again.

There seems to be a small piece of shiny stuff in the reflected place on the dome of the ancestral hall. The light reflected from the floor is reflected on the shiny thing again and is refracted to the ground. Although it is only a very inconspicuous line as thin as a finger.

, if you really don’t pay attention, you won’t be able to see it at all, because the light that has been refracted three times is very dim.

Bai Chi slowly walked to the last refracted place and discovered that it was a corner behind the altar table. Two feet above the ground, there was a wall full of bluestones. The walls of the entire ancestral hall were not one piece.

The bluestones are piled up thoroughly, and there are some small stones at the joints. The refracted light shines on one of the bluestones that is about the size of a fist.

Gently tapping the small bluestone with his hand, Baichi was surprised to find that it was also solid. There was no hollow echo behind the wall, which meant that there was nothing behind it. Baichi, who was full of doubts, was about to walk away, and couldn't help but use his fists

Knocked hard on the small bluestone.

At this time, Bai Chi was surprised to find that the small bluestone seemed to be a little loose. He couldn't help squatting down again and observing carefully. He thought for a moment and realized that digging it out was unrealistic, so Bai Chi put his palm on the bluestone and pushed hard into it.

I pushed inside, but I didn't expect that the bluestone actually sunk into the wall about a foot after pushing.

At this moment, Bai Chi felt the entire Bai family ancestral hall shake slightly, and a lot of dust and some bird droppings and other debris fell from the dome. Then Bai Chi's eyes widened, because just now he

The stone slab that was standing on, that is, the one with forty-nine numbers at the front and back, was missing.

Quickly walking over and taking a look, Baichi found that a one-meter-square hole had appeared where the bluestone slab originally had been, and the slab had sunk to two meters below. Baichi wondered in confusion: Isn't it solid?

?Why is there a hole?

There was nothing to be afraid of in his own village. Bai Chi turned around and walked to the door of the ancestral hall. He looked around and saw no one. So he gently closed the door of the ancestral hall, turned around and walked to the entrance of the cave, turned over and jumped.

Go down.

After his feet landed on the ground, Bai Chi looked up. The distance was only two meters high and less than three meters away. What appeared in front of him was a dark corridor filled with an ancient and decaying smell. It was less than two meters high and only about 3 meters wide.

About one meter, just enough for one person to move forward.

Seeing this, Bai Chi turned over on his hands and knees and climbed up again. He quickly walked to the altar table and picked up a candlestick with a candle as thick as half an arm. Then he returned to the cave again. After lighting the candlestick with a lighter,

, Bai Chi bravely walked forward slowly along the dark passage.

While walking, I looked around and found that the entire passage was very clean, probably due to the long-term isolation from the outside world. There was not much dust inside. The two sides of the passage were not hastily dug, but were made of the same bluestone.

Bai Chi walked forward for about ten meters, and suddenly found that there was a small lampstand every ten meters on the wall. The lampstand should be made of bronze, only the size of a fist, with a little finger sticking up on it.

wick.

Bai Chi moved the candlestick in his hand and lit it immediately. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of material the lamp oil in this candlestick was made of? Can it still be lit after so many years?

Just walking all the way, he lit all the lampstands on the wall. As he walked, Bai Chi couldn't help but feel more and more surprised, because he didn't know how long the corridor was. Why did the ancestors of the Bai family build such a long corridor? And

It seems that there are some ventilation facilities inside, because judging from the lighted lamp on the wall, there is still enough oxygen inside.

The only thing that was certain was that the passage was not upward, but downward. After walking forward for about half a mile, Bai Chi finally saw a simple stone door in front of his eyes. There was a thin layer of dust on the stone door.

, with a tiger pattern carved on it.

Standing quietly in front of the stone door, Bai Chi took a deep breath, raised his hand, put his palm on the stone door, and pushed inward.

"Rumble"

With a dull sound, the stone door slowly opened inward, and there was an indescribable strange smell, like the smell of lamp oil on the wall of the corridor, accompanied by boundless darkness.

The candlestick in Bai Chi's hand can illuminate a distance of about five or six meters in front of him. It seems that the inside is like a hall. It's unclear how big it is. On the left side of the entrance, one meter above the ground, there is something that looks like a horse.

It's the same thing as a manger, but it's much smaller than an ordinary manger. There's also a thin layer of lamp oil inside.

This kind of lamp oil looks like amber-like golden yellow, with a high concentration. Bai Chi dipped a little of it with his hand and found that it was very sticky. But this was not the time to think too much, so he put the candlestick in his hand close to it.

"Bang!"

The sound of rising flames startled Baichi, and then an amazing fire dragon spread along the fire trough along the periphery of the hall. The height of the flames was about half a meter high. If Baichi hadn't retreated quickly, he would have said

It might even set his eyebrows on fire.

As the fire tank was lit, the entire hall became brighter. Bai Chi, who turned around, was stunned by what he saw.

The whole hall was glittering with gold, blinding Bai Chi. He couldn't believe what he saw. He saw countless gold, silver and ancient jade piled in the middle of the hall, as high as a hill.

At this time, the entire hall was also displayed in front of Baichi's eyes. There was only one feeling for Baichi, and that was shock. The area of ​​the hall was about one thousand square meters, and there was a circle of fire tanks surrounding it, which illuminated the entire hall.

Very bright.

In the middle of the hall, there are piles of ancient objects as high as a hill, including some ritual vessels. There is also some gold, gold nuggets of different sizes, various ancient jades, and some small tripods made of bronze, and even some of them.

Ancient weapons and armors and the like.

If we were to calculate the weight of this pile of things, gold would account for at least about one-third, and the weight would be about ten tons. Ancient jade weighs several thousand kilograms, and there are many, many other cultural relics. That is simply

You can't estimate it by weight and value.

After walking around the pile of treasures that looked like a hill, Bai Chi was speechless for a moment, and couldn't close his mouth for a long time...
Chapter completed!
