Chapter 210 Discovering the Treasure Vault
This stone door is very hidden and difficult to find. Even if you tell you that there is a mechanical door on the stone wall, it will take some effort to find it.
When you meet Zhang Ming, a group of people who regard Zhang Junping's orders as life, the monks from Wuran Temple are also unlucky.
Zhang Junping stepped forward to check the stone door, knocked it hard a few times, confirming that it was indeed a stone door with a large space inside.
Before, Zhang Ming and the others found the stone door by this method. Every servant was holding an iron hammer in his hand. He knocked and beat around according to Zhang Junping's instructions, and searched for the secret room through echoes. Sure enough, he found this stone door on the stone wall.
"Look carefully and see if there are any mechanisms nearby!" Zhang Junping explained, and he also looked around, looking for possible mechanisms.
This is not a fairy tale, a fantasy world, and the mechanism is not that magical.
Like this stone gate, it means that the stone gate is controlled through the mechanism, retreating inward or downward.
Zhang Junping pointed his eyes at a stone lion not far from the stone gate.
The stone lion has a high status in Buddhism. He is one of the auspicious beasts that protects houses and wards off evil spirits. It is nothing to be surprised to see a stone lion in Wuran Temple.
However, the stone lion was placed in the wrong place.
Anyone who has known the stone lion knows that the stone lion is a auspicious beast guarding the gate.
Putting it here obviously means guarding the gate, so it is naturally this stone gate.
Zhang Junping walked into the stone lion, squatted down, and carefully studied the stone lion.
"You can look for it again to see if there are any stone lions nearby!"
The stone lions are all paired, and there is only one here, which is obviously abnormal.
While thinking, Zhang Junping reached out to grop on the stone lion.
The eyes, nose, mouth, limbs, tail, ears, and places that may become mechanisms. Zhang Junping touched them all, but they were not.
Zhang Junping even reached out to push Shi Shi Zi's body, but it was still not a mechanism.
Looking for another stone lion servant there, but there was no harvest, and no other stone lion was found.
“Has another stone lion flew away?
Damn, do you have to force me to use violent means?" Zhang Junping cursed inwardly, preparing to stop looking for someone and arrange for someone to directly break the door violently.
At this moment, the stone gate suddenly shook, making a squeaking sound, and then opened inward.
As the stone door gradually opened, a stone lion slowly emerged from the ground.
"What's going on?" Zhang Junping was shocked and asked loudly.
Everyone was a little confused, wondering why the stone door suddenly opened.
"Report... the magistrate, the young man just wanted to check the rockery, pressed a stone, and the stone was retracted into the rockery, and then the stone door opened!" A yamen runner replied nervously.
"Not bad! I remember your great achievements! I will reward 100 taels of silver and transfer it to the squad as the head of the class!" Zhang Junping was very happy, and the reward was naturally generous.
While speaking, the stone door was completely opened.
"Be careful, there may be hidden weapons inside!" Zhang Junping hurriedly explained to Zhang Ming when he wanted to go in and explore the way.
He was completely impressed by the wisdom of the ancients.
It is actually a chain mechanism, controlling the stone lion through the mechanism on the rockery.
The stone lion appears and the stone door opens.
With such a exquisite mechanism arrangement, who knows if there will be hidden mechanisms inside?
This is a thousand-year-old temple, and there are too many secrets hidden.
"Mr.!" Zhang Ming screamed in shock.
Zhang Junping looked at Zhang Ming's cry, and he was also shocked. No wonder Zhang Ming was so out of control.
I don’t know how deep the cave is, but you can see from outside that it is full of gold, silver and jewelry.
This is a treasure cave!
Inside the cave, against the wall, wooden boxes are neatly placed together.
There are many scattered gold, silver and copper coins in the middle of the cave, which are piled up like mountains.
Two servants who were ready to die took the lead in entering the cave. After some inspection, there was no imagined hidden weapon in the cave.
Perhaps the person who designed this cave was a truly enlightened monk. He designed the cave only to store food or to take shelter for monks in the temple.
It was just used by later generations and turned into a treasure cave.
"You report to the magistrate, this box is full of gold!"
"You report to the magistrate, the box here is weapons and armor!"
The boxes were opened one by one, and the servants who went in loudly reported their discoveries.
"Pick that knife for me!" Zhang Junping ordered.
The servant inside picked up a knife from the box and walked out.
This is a Tang Heng sword, one of the four Tang swords.
There are four systems of Tang swords, divided into ritual swords, horizontal swords, barrier swords, and unshak swords.
The art knife is slender and gorgeous in shape, mainly used by the Imperial Guards.
The horizontal sword is an ordinary soldier, and it is used by the official constable and is the most widely used.
The barrier knife is a short knife, which is also the predecessor of the Japanese samurai sword.
Modao is a powerful weapon for fighting on the battlefield and infantry against cavalry.
This is the most common horizontal knife in Zhang Junping's hand.
The origin of the horizontal sword was not in the Tang Dynasty, but in the Sui Dynasty. During the Sui Dynasty, there were already large-scale horizontal swords equipped with military soldiers.
A horizontal knife alone is not enough to infer the era of this knife.
But it has been hundreds of years since the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty.
The knife from hundreds of years ago is still shiny and has no rust at all, which shows how exquisite the forging process of this knife is.
Zhang Junping reached out and bounced on the blade, and a light whistle made.
This is the hundreds of refining treasure sword that Zhang Junping wanted.
"Mr. Li, the second requirement I mentioned before is in advance. I will requisition your servants now!" Zhang Junping held the knife and turned his head to the same shocked ten masters.
The wealth in this cave exceeded Zhang Junping's estimate. A few hundred wing troops alone are no longer enough to deal with emergencies.
While requisitioning servants from the ten major families, Zhang Junping ordered people to mobilize the imperial guards.
At this time, the gold and silver mines are no longer important.
The only thing that is to transfer the imperial guards to the present is true.
The reason why the old monk Huijue surrendered was to measure Zhang Junping and the others that he would not find a cave.
Now, the treasure house of the cave has been discovered. The gold, silver and copper coins accumulated in the middle of the cave are millions of coins. With such a huge amount of wealth, it is inevitable that someone will take risks.
Zhang Junping recruited servants from the ten major families to prevent them from happening, put them under his nose and formed a triangle with the Xiang army and the imperial guards, supervising and restraining each other.
In this way, no matter whether it is the Xiang Army or the Imperial Army, or the servants of the Ten Major Families, the idea of any family that wants to make a treasure will work.
Unless three teams unite.
However, that is impossible.
After explaining everything, Zhang Junping walked into the treasure cave.
Zhang Junping did not pay much attention to gold, silver and copper coins, but came to the place where weapons and armor were stored.
Zhang Junping casually opened a wooden box, which contained a well-preserved set of bright light armor.
