Among the entire Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty, Cixi's mausoleum is the most exquisite and exquisite. The stones used are all made of fine white marble. The beams and beams in the three main halls are all made of precious huanghuali. The coffin is made of precious golden nanmu. It can be described as "
Every inch of wood is worth every inch of gold.”
According to the records of the Qing Palace, before Cixi was buried, six batches of treasures were placed in the golden well of the mausoleum, including 108 golden Buddhas, emerald Buddhas, emerald Buddhas, etc., as well as 200 emerald watermelons, melons, peaches, plums, apricots and other treasures.
Remaining pieces.
These treasures alone are worth millions of taels of silver.
After the burial, because there were still holes in the coffin, four liters of pearls were poured into the coffin, and more than 2,000 precious stones were filled into the coffin. The coffin was so large that it was evident how extravagant it was.
What attracts the most attention is the luminous pearl that Empress Dowager Cixi held in her mouth when she was buried. It is said that this pearl can illuminate a person's hair within a hundred steps at night. You can imagine how precious it is.
However, the most precious burial object in the coffin is not the luminous pearl, but the Nine Exquisite Pagoda carved from white jade, which is said to be able to "flow clouds of smoke".
Unfortunately, this is just a rumor and the world has never seen it.
Therefore, it is quite normal to find some beads under the water.
Chen Wenzhe actually didn't care much about the treasures scattered at the bottom of the pool, because even if these things were taken out, they couldn't be his.
He admitted that the situation was small, but this was his true opinion.
Therefore, after the initial frantic search, he quickly calmed down.
There shouldn't be much oxygen in the oxygen bottle, and he can't waste any more time.
So, while groping around, he found Tan Di's treasure, so he picked it up and stuffed it into his backpack.
If he couldn't find it, he wouldn't force it. Even if he saw a treasure that was farther away, he wouldn't go out of his way to pick it up.
In this way, Chen Wenzhe quickly figured out the situation of this water pool.
In the process, he also saw other people, who were searching around for something.
They had to touch and step on almost every silt at the bottom of the pool.
Especially some people from the Mu family, they must be looking for something in a targeted manner.
No matter what they were looking for, Chen Wenzhe didn't care. It was their ability to take it out privately.
Anyway, he doesn't have this ability, so he won't be jealous.
After making the decision, Chen Wenzhe speeded up and kept swimming at the bottom of the pool.
When he reached the bottom of the small waterfall, his heart moved, and his eyes could not help but stare at the bottom of the waterfall.
There seems to be something unusual where the waterfall hits.
At the very least, the pothole over there should have been hit the deepest, but that is not the case now, so there seems to be a problem there.
However, if you want to go there, you must endure the erosion of the waterfall. Chen Wenzhe does not have this time now.
Therefore, he just paid a little attention and ignored the suspicious place.
When they met Zheng Yu, Chen Wenzhe pulled him and the two of them headed towards a water outlet at the bottom of the pool.
The water here is relatively turbulent and makes people unstable, but Chen Wenzhe still pulls Zheng Yu and tries his best to get closer to the passage.
Just as the two of them were trying to stabilize their bodies, Zheng Yu pulled his arm.
Chen Wenzhe took a look and found a lot of gold near the passage.
Big yellow croakers as always, it seems Sun Dianying has collected a lot of them.
Zheng Yu pointed at the pile of gold and then at Chen Wenzhe's backpack.
As if he was afraid that Chen Wenzhe wouldn't understand, he pointed to his backpack again.
Seeing Zheng Yu who was very stable, Chen Wenzhe suddenly realized.
So there is such a benefit to picking up some gold?
Chen Wenzhe no longer resisted the gold that could be seen everywhere. He stuffed his backpack piece by piece until it was full.
At this time, his body was completely pressed to the bottom of the pool.
After moving a little bit and feeling that there was no impact, Chen Wenzhe made a gesture.
Zheng Yu smiled proudly. At this time, Chen Wenzhe saw that he actually held two gold bars in his hands.
The gold bars during the Republic of China were the standard twelve gold bars, commonly known as "big yellow croaker".
According to the old system, 1 catty is 16 taels, 1 tael = 500/16 = 31.25 grams;
Therefore, the equivalent weight of the "big yellow croaker" gold bar today is 312.5 grams.
In other words, Zheng Yu holds more than 600 grams of gold in one hand.
Also, his pockets are heavy, but judging from his size, they shouldn't be big.
I think it must be a small yellow croaker, but here, small yellow croakers are even rarer than large yellow croakers.
Chen Wenzhe ignored Zheng Yu and walked towards the passage first.
We still don’t know what the situation will be like on the road ahead, but Zheng Yu followed him out, so he will naturally be responsible for the journey.
With a backpack of gold as ballast, Chen Wenzhe entered the underground river very smoothly this time.
And when he entered the underground river, he felt that the water flow was not so fast.
After stabilizing his body, Chen Wenzhe checked for a moment and then started walking quickly.
Under water, even with a backpack of gold, the buoyancy is very high, which does not affect his speed much.
Swim with one hand and hold the waterproof flashlight with the other to move forward quickly underwater.
After barely advancing a few meters, Chen Wenzhe could see some scattered gold.
Here, the number of small yellow croakers is much greater than the number of large yellow croakers.
I think a large part of the gold that fell into the pool above washed into here, right? Or was it brought here?
Think about it, along the way, the most discovered thing is actually gold.
But think about it, who hid this treasure?
Once you know the identities of these people, it becomes clear that hiding gold is not so unimaginable.
According to some historical materials and unofficial records, Sun Dianying was not a cultural person, nor did he pay much attention to cultural relics. What he liked was money.
For example, the Qianlong tomb he robbed was said to be full of calligraphy and painting works, and for the big-headed soldiers at that time, they were too disgusted to use such things.
Therefore, it was said at that time that after Qianlong’s tomb was excavated, calligraphy and paintings were thrown everywhere.
These treasures that were once treasured and stamped by Old Man Shiquan were trampled on and burned so casually.
There is still no specific statement on how many cultural relics were lost in the end.
It is impossible to verify how many burial objects Qianlong had.
Because in ancient times, in order to prevent thieves from taking advantage of wealth, what exactly was buried with the royal family and nobles was not recorded in the history books.
After Sun Dianying robbed the tomb, he did not explain how many treasures he had stolen until he was arrested.
However, Sun Dianying later confessed that the most valuable items buried with Qianlong were a string of beads and the Nine Dragon Sword.
It can be seen from this that Sun Dianying believed that jewelry was a treasure, not calligraphy and painting.
Therefore, this time, we did not see many other cultural relics except pearls, jade and other jewelry in this pseudo-ancient tomb.
