Chapter 206 Discovery(1/2)

Han Peacock stepped on almost every inch of the ground and found no other hidden places. Only then did he feel that the treasure hunt had failed.

He had been out for too long. Although he didn't bring his mobile phone, Han Kongque guessed that he had been out for more than two hours.

Not wanting to get out of the place full of dead people, Han Peacock entered the narrow passage again. As long as that place was opened, Han Peacock believed he could easily get out from there.

If there really is a treasure here, Han Peacock really doesn't believe that the treasure can run away on its own. Just because he can't find it in a short time now doesn't mean he won't find it in the future.

After he got out, Han Kongque asked Jiang Lin to help buy this place. He would have plenty of time to come here to hunt for treasures.

Since Han Peacock has determined that there is a treasure here, he will naturally not give up easily.

Having made his decision, Han Peacock inserted an iron rod obtained from an abandoned small steamer directly into a stone crevice and pried off a large stone weighing more than 300 kilograms.

One stone came out, and all the other stones moved. Han Kongque threw the iron bar aside. He picked up ten pieces weighing more than three hundred kilograms with his bare hands and threw them backwards with all his strength.

This passage is too narrow. Since you want to open the passage from here, you don't care about preserving the road behind it. Anyway, if you come in in the future, the Korean peacock will not dive in from underwater.

Although the abandoned dock was buried, with the tunnel as a guide, you can easily enter here by digging through it. As for this passage, you can just hire someone to clean it up in the future.

Therefore, Han Peacock had no scruples and directly threw the huge stone back. As long as he left himself enough space to move.

Han Peacock moved very quickly. It only took him more than ten minutes to move forward two meters.

"Huh?" At this time, Han Peacock discovered that the stones blocked here were thicker than the door inside.

Is there something fishy here?

This made Han Peacock become more motivated again, and he kept throwing boulders behind him. Finally, Han Peacock threw a boulder behind him, and was bounced by the boulder thrown behind him before, hitting the wall on the side.

Just hearing a "dong" sound, Han Peacock was stunned.

It took him a while to realize what he was doing. He picked up another stone and threw it directly against a wall. Then, there was another "thud" sound.

It wasn't a "bump" sound, but a "dong" sound. Is this wall hollow?

Han Kongque was so happy that he was completely disappointed at first, but he didn't expect that at the last moment, it actually gave him hope again.

Han Peacock took back the thrown iron rod and shoveled a large piece of moss off the wall. At this time, a golden light was revealed.

Golden walls? Is it gold?

Soon Peacock Han discovered that it was not gold, but copper.

After clearing away a large area of ​​moss, copper boxes stacked neatly together were revealed.

Looking at the copper boxes that were as neat as a wall, Han Peacock was shocked. Could it be that both sides of this narrow passage were all built with copper boxes?

Han Peacock cleaned up the areas where the golden light was exposed, from top to bottom.

The two-meter-high passage is stacked with four large copper boxes, each of which is half a meter high.

Han Peacock moved the top box down and looked at the box, but didn't see how to open it.

The opening of this box has a bulge at the seam, which welds the entire seam. This is sealed by casting copper water, making the entire box a whole.

Han Peacock wiped off the patina on the outside of the box. There was only a gap on the box. The rest of the box was poured out as a whole. No other openings were found, and it was not possible to see what was inside. However, Han Peacock found the connection between the box and the box.

In the seam, I found a few words: God's decree, God is born, and God sits on mountains and rivers.

God decrees that God is born and sits on mountains and rivers. This sentence seems to be the handwriting on a seal of Hong Xiuquan.

At this time, Han Peacock's extraordinary memory came into play again. In November 1858, Hong Xiuquan issued an edict to the British envoy Elgin, which was stamped with two golden seals. One of the golden seals seemed to be God's decree that God was born to sit on mountains and rivers.

The length and width of these two golden seals are 9.5 centimeters. The text on the former one is "God decrees that God is born and sits on the mountains and rivers", and the latter one is the golden seal "Serves heaven to kill demons, kill evil and leave righteousness for the Taiping Heavenly King and the king is complete".

Han Kongque was very lucky, thanks to Bai Xiaoyi and the others. Without the research report submitted by Bai Xiaoyi and the others, he would not have been able to write down so many things.

In his report on the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Bai Xiao also focused on analyzing the possibility of the existence of the treasures, whose hands they might fall into, the general area where they might be buried, and the key treasures among them, and these two golden seals are the best among them.

So Han Kongque remembered it very clearly.

The size of the writing on this copper box is exactly the same size as the legendary golden seal there.

Han Kongque breathed a sigh of relief when he discovered a copper box sealed with the calligraphy of God's decree: God born in the mountains and rivers. This should be the treasure that Li Xiucheng got. Although it is not confirmed whether it comes from Hong Xiuquan's holy treasury, it is

It's no longer important.

Han Peacock condensed a ball of water, wrapped it directly in the copper box, and instantly put it into the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.

One, two, three, ten, a hundred, five hundred, a thousand. As each copper box was collected by Han Peacock into the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, this originally narrow passage slowly changed.

It became a huge cave.

After putting away a thousand copper boxes, Han Peacock discovered that there were changes in the things stored here.

At this time, the boxes were no longer wrapped in copper. These boxes could already be opened. Han Peacock opened a few boxes at will. Inside were either gold or silver nuggets, as well as some gold and silver ingots.

These boxes did not have the words "God decreed that God was born to live in mountains and rivers", so Han Kongque believed that these boxes should have been looted by Li Xiucheng later. The wealth here was either stolen from Suzhou and Hangzhou or belonged to the Li family.

Han Peacock didn't care where they came from now. As long as he was sure that he was not afraid of flooding, he would put them all into the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.

Many more copper boxes were collected, and the next boxes changed again. These boxes were wooden boxes, but these wooden boxes were all sealed with oilcloth, and the seams of the oilcloth were sealed with a large amount of wax. This was completely

A waterproof preparation.

Since it is waterproof, Han Peacock did not destroy these packages, so it was directly included in the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.

After putting away all the neatly stacked boxes, the things at the back were rather fragmented. Han Peacock saw the stacked screens, neatly stacked vases, and some gold and silver tableware.

Seeing the words "Li's Refined" on a silver plate, Han Kongque knew that these should be the things of the Li family.

These things were scattered here and there. After cleaning them up, Han Peacock found some more copper boxes at the very back.

These boxes are also sealed, and there are writings on them, but the writing is no longer God's decree, but the gold stored in the Li family's hoard. These should be the gold and silver stored in the Li family's hoard.

The Li family has a lot of treasures that have been stored for thousands of years. Han Kongque roughly counted them. There are hundreds of boxes here. If one box contains tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, these treasures must also be in the millions.

Han Peacock didn't move these things, there were still many people waiting for him outside!

It wouldn't make sense if he took away all the things here and left nothing for people outside. Besides, there were too many things and he couldn't use them openly, so he might as well leave some for Chen Jiayi and the others.

Han Peacock looked at it casually, and as long as he liked it, he would put it away without politeness.

Porcelain, gold and silverware are not afraid of water, so whenever Han Peacock meets someone he likes, he will collect the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.

Han Kongque did not open some other calligraphy and painting oil packages that were obviously scrolls, but directly put them into the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.

This kind of calligraphy and painting oil packages were stacked very neatly, and they looked like they were classified and packaged. Han Peacock didn't take them all away. He just put away a few in places where there were a lot of them, and kept most of the things.

Although some should be left for Chen Jiayi and the others, there is no need to leave too many good things behind.

At the end of the cleaning process, Han Kongque opened countless tarpaulins. He didn't stop until he saw the one thing he had guessed.

It was a bunch of wooden doors, windows and other things. Looking at the ox-hair pattern and color, I tried the weight again. What is this if it's not rosewood?

Although they were scattered wooden products, Han Kongque could still tell from the simple shapes that this was actually a Bab bed, but it was just a Bab bed that had been dismantled.

Seeing this bed made Han Kongque completely convinced that he had found the so-called Li Yuan treasure.

The Li family really sacrificed their lives rather than their wealth. When Li Xiucheng besieged his Li Garden for several months, they actually thought of moving all the beds.

They had cleaned up Li Yuan so well, so of course Li Xiucheng would not let them go, so Li Xiucheng followed them closely and chased them all the way here, leaving everyone in the Li family in this treasure house.

I think the fate of Li Xiucheng's men who knew about this treasure house would not be much better, otherwise, these treasures would not have been preserved to this day.

Han Peacock looked at the pots and pans in the treasure house, as well as calligraphy and painting ancient books, tables, chairs and stools, bowls, chopsticks and tea cups. The Li family was really going to move.

So many things were actually found in the underground palace. It seemed that he hated Li Xiucheng so much that he didn't intend to leave a single thread for him. However, in the end, Li Xiucheng was more skilled.

These things were packed carefully. It seems that the Li family decided to flood the underground palace, so they made all their things waterproof in advance.

Fortunately, they took care of it. Otherwise, given the level of moisture in this underground palace, no matter whether it was wooden or paper, it would not have been preserved.

The Babu bed was made of rosewood, so it was not afraid of being flooded. Han Peacock put it away without ceremony.

Finally, he took out forty or fifty exquisite gold nuggets from a box and put them in his pocket. He planned to keep everything else here.

Since he decided not to touch the remaining Li family treasures, Han Kongque began to clean up the traces of Li Xiucheng's treasures.

After cleaning up, Han Peacock smiled when he looked at the much enlarged passage. That narrow passage was really reserved for people to leave.

Han Peacock looked at the other moss-covered wall: Isn't it also built with copper boxes?

Thinking of a good thing, Han Peacock casually hammered the wall. "Boom", a very beautiful sound came again.

Han Peacock was stunned. Could he really have guessed?

He picked up the thrown iron rod again, cleaned up some moss and let it flow out. The wall on the other side turned directly into copper boxes.

This made Han Peacock a little dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that he almost lost Jingzhou because of his carelessness.

This time he did not hesitate at all. As long as it was something that would not be damaged by water, he quickly put in the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag. Soon he cleared a huge empty field, and of course, there were thousands of copper sheets.

The box was put away by him.

The things on this side are obviously neater than the things on the other side. Everything is packed in boxes. This lets Han Peacock know that these things, except for the more than a thousand boxes outside, contain gold stored in the Holy Treasury. What's inside should be

This is what Li Xiucheng gained from his time in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

These things are different from the Li family's things. They are all packaged, which is obviously more convenient for transportation.

Most of the things robbed during the war were gold, silver and jade, with very few porcelain, calligraphy and paintings. This is because these things are not conducive to transportation and preservation.

Besides, there are not many educated soldiers in the rebel army, so most of them don't pay attention to calligraphy, painting and antiques, so there aren't many such things here.
