The two people entered the rapid underground flow almost at the same time.
There was a sudden spin, and the two of them soon appeared in an underground river.
This is definitely not the surface of the Yangtze River, because there are rock caves above.
The lights kept shining, and Chen Wenzhe knew that the few people who came in earlier had stopped. They seemed to be looking for something.
After calming down, I took a closer look at the surroundings and found that there was another underground pool here, but there was a gap in the water flow here.
The water that poured in from the underground passage just now rushed into the pool where he was now like a waterfall, and the water here was still flowing to unknown places.
Soon, Chen Wenzhe reacted.
The Mu family father and son knew the situation here, so after they came in, they did not come up to the surface, but ran around underground in the pool looking for things.
He is professional when it comes to finding things!
Chen Wenzhe's gold-finding skills are most useful in this unknown environment.
When he enters a strange place, he can easily tell if there is anything of high value by just taking a few glances.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe just scanned the bottom of the pool and discovered a strange place.
There should be something covered under the mud over there.
Chen Wenzhe didn't hesitate at all. He reached out and fished out a bead.
The bead was not small, about the size of a table tennis ball. After a quick glance, Chen Wenzhe was sure that it was an jade bead.
Under the illumination of the light, the bead was emerald green. I don't know if it was because it was underwater, but the bead looked very moist, just like the ice green he had seen.
"What was found here shouldn't be glass!"
Chen Wenzhe just muttered and stuffed the beads into his backpack.
This kind of thing is of high value, but has no characteristics. If it is genuine, it is probably buried with Cixi in the tomb.
Just discovering one thing doesn't prove anything. If more of these things are discovered, things will become obvious.
In the tombs above, the Dongling treasures that have never been discovered are probably found in this underground river.
Obviously, this cannot be Sun Dianying's idea, it can only be done by his subordinates.
If anyone sees such a large amount of treasure, they will be interested in it.
What's more, the distance between here and Sun Dianying's army is half a country.
Such a long distance, if you meet a capable person, it is not difficult to move these treasures away without anyone noticing.
However, something must have gone wrong during the transfer of the treasures, otherwise, these treasures would not have been scattered here.
There was insufficient oxygen, and Chen Wenzhe didn't think much about it. He quickly swam underwater.
It's easy to find pearls hidden under the water, after all, there is a waterfall above this pool.
Although the waterfall is not big, it has been washed away all year round, and there is basically not much silt left in the bottom of the pool. Therefore, the bead just now was only covered by a thin layer of silt, so it was still quite conspicuous.
Since there is one, there must be two.
In just a short time, Chen Wenzhe touched a dozen beads nearby, mostly jade beads, with only a few jade beads and even two pearls.
"Dongzhu? What a pity!"
Dongzhu, called "Tana" in Manchu.
In the Qing Dynasty, pearls produced in the Northeast were called East Pearls (or Northern Pearls) to distinguish them from Southern Pearls produced in the South.
It is produced in Songhua River, Heilongjiang, Wusuli River, Yalu River and their basins.
One of the Dongzhu, which was the size of an egg yolk, made Chen Wenzhe feel distressed after he got it.
This thing is not easy to preserve. After staying underwater for seventy or eighty years, it will basically be scrapped.
However, after discovering the Dongzhu, we can basically confirm that this is Sun Dianying's hidden treasure, because not everyone can own the Dongzhu.
The rulers of the Qing Dynasty regarded Dongzhu as a treasure and used it to inlaid it on crown jewels to express power and honor.
The winter crown of the Queen and the Empress Dowager is decorated with about 300 Eastern beads and pearls, with 13 Eastern beads and 51 pearls on the top of the crown.
Earrings, court beads, etc. are also inlaid with east beads to express identity and show royal authority.
The Dongzhu, which is as big as an egg yolk, must be a treasure among treasures. If it is found, it will definitely fall into the hands of the royal family.
It's a pity that Cixi controlled everything during her lifetime, but was ignored after her death!
Beads the size of egg yolks must be dead. They have lost their luster and are no longer beautiful.
Maybe it can be played with if it is well maintained, but it is probably about to reach the end of its life.
Pearls are rather strange treasures. Because nacre is not very stable, pearls have a long life.
A pearl can generally only "live" for more than a hundred years, and its puberty lasts for about fifty or sixty years. Over time, the water droplets contained in the nacre will slowly escape and appear dull.
Eventually, it will age, change color, and even dry up and turn to powder.
Therefore, ancient pearls generally cannot be passed down to today.
This egg-yolk-sized pearl must have existed for more than a hundred years. By now, it is almost dry, so even if it is soaked in water, it looks a bit powdery.
The other one, on the other hand, looks relatively plump, round and crystal-clear, and there is no problem at all.
Even under water, this pearl can emit colorful luster. I think the jewelry made from it will be sparkling and beautiful.
It’s no wonder that such a beautiful pearl was buried with Cixi.
According to legend, Cixi, an old witch, was buried with a lot of beads.
The actual ruler of Wanqing was the Empress Dowager Cixi. After her death, she was buried in the Dingdong Tomb of Putuoyu.
The Cixi Mausoleum is also very unusual. It took a total of thirteen years to build.
According to Cixi's status at the time, the level of the mausoleum was definitely not low.
It is said that there are many treasures in Cixi's tomb, but the whereabouts of some valuable items are currently unknown. After all, the country was suffering from internal and external troubles at that time, and many things could not be taken into consideration.
According to Chen Wenzhe's understanding, the theft of Cixi's mausoleum actually planted hidden dangers very early on.
Because by the late Qing Dynasty, the Manchu and Qing government could no longer suppress the various forces that were ready to move.
After the death of Empress Dowager Cixi, her coffin attracted prying eyes, which made people jealous.
Legend has it that the coffin of Empress Dowager Cixi was very heavy and huge. The yellow coffin looked like a heavy piece of pure gold, and the coffin clothes seemed to be made of metal instead of brocade.
According to records and legends at the time, on the day of Cixi's funeral, the coffin of Empress Dowager Cixi looked like a golden waterfall under the sun.
Carried by more than a hundred bearers, the coffin of Empress Dowager Cixi was carried step by step to the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty.
Such a grand and extravagant funeral, while being talked about by everyone, undoubtedly attracted many coveters.
