A few people easily sneaked into the hiding place, and under the illumination of the surrounding lights, they saw the stone slab.
At first glance, some experts among the crowd knew that this was a piece of rock that was grooved or carved from a nearby cave.
The corrosion of the caves here is very serious. If you are willing and prepared, it is not difficult to create stone slabs that are about ten centimeters thick and more than one meter square.
Under water, this stone slab is not very heavy. At this time, a gap has been opened in the last stone slab, and a stone has been placed underneath.
In this way, through the light, you can already see the situation below.
There was actually a square vertical pit of more than one square meter. After Chen Wenzhe pried out a large number of stone slabs, a wooden box was revealed inside.
The wooden box is dark brown and looks a bit like rosewood.
However, everything seen underwater is a bit distorted, so even Chen Wenzhe cannot accurately determine what material it is made of.
If he couldn't confirm it quickly, he would identify it slowly, so Chen Wenzhe started the system decisively.
After gaining new abilities, Chen Wenzhe was eager to touch whatever he saw.
Take action decisively and immediately feel a delicate feeling.
Its cut surface is smooth, the wood grain is fine, and if it is polished properly, it can achieve a mirror-like finish. This is definitely not something ordinary people would find.
Although the cut surface was smooth, Chen Wenzhe still felt a trace of wood grain on it, and it felt a bit hard.
Harder than mahogany, what kind of wood is this?
Then some intermittent images came into my mind.
His mind was running rapidly, and soon, Chen Wenzhe had the answer.
"ebony?"
"Gloomy Wood?"
Chen Wenzhe glanced at the officer next to him. No wonder he was able to take charge of the salvage work here. It turned out that he was also an expert, and he was well hidden!
He was able to identify him so quickly through a golden finger, and this officer actually recognized him at a glance. He was not easy!
Through internal communication, Chen Wenzhe said: "It should be ebony."
The best choice for preserving treasures underwater is ebony.
Some ebony wood is better than rosewood, and it never fades, decays, or grows insects.
Ebony is caused by earthquakes, floods, and mudslides that buried all ground plants and organisms in low-lying places such as ancient river beds, and some of the trees buried in the mud. Under the action of bacteria and other microorganisms under the condition of anoxia, high pressure, etc.
It is formed through a carbonization process that lasts for tens of millions of years, so it is also called "carbonized wood".
Throughout the ages, ebony has been used to ward off evil spirits and to make handicrafts, Buddha statues, and amulet pendants.
An ancient saying goes: "Half a square of ebony at home is worth more than a box of treasure."
This thing is incorruptible and will not even deform under water. This kind of treasure is now just an ordinary box.
Seeing this box, Chen Wenzhe felt stable.
There must be precious treasures hidden inside, but I don't know if there is anything he wants.
This is his only chance, otherwise, when he gets out, in broad daylight, even if he touches what he wants, he won't dare to absorb it at will. If he really absorbs it, he will be in even greater trouble.
The box cannot be moved, and besides, they probably won't be able to lift it.
Also, if he could really lift it, he couldn't get it all out at once. Otherwise, how would he have a chance?
Although he does not want to be corrupt and is not greedy, there is no way Chen Wenzhe would give up on the treasure that strengthens his golden finger.
"The box cannot be carried out directly. We can only open it here, take the contents out one by one, and then deal with the box."
Soon, Chen Wenzhe thought of a way to deal with it.
"Okay, I think it's impossible for those people to hide things and just bring a box full of treasures."
The officer agreed. Besides, he never imagined that someone could cause trouble under his nose.
He believed that Chen Wenzhe was a smart man and would not be careful here.
Cheng Wenzhe naturally doesn't steal things, he just wants to touch them. If he encounters something he likes, he can fish in troubled waters. No one knows how many treasures are in the box anyway.
After a little research, Chen Wenzhe found the opening of the box.
The opening is very delicately designed, but judging from the design, it cannot be a temporary act.
Chen Wenzhe moved a little and opened two doors.
The small door that opens opposite the door emits a bright treasure light when it is opened.
Although it is not as bright as the golden light of gold, the precious light of jewelry is more brilliant.
"Gems? They can't all be gems, right?"
What was exposed in front of Chen Wenzhe's eyes were either rubies or sapphires, densely packed, filling the entire box.
"Take it out and have a look. Maybe it's just caulking," the officer said.
With that said, the two of them started working together, and soon, a large number of gems were teleported to the pool like a relay race.
As the gems were transported away, the spire of a pagoda was exposed.
"Linglong Pagoda?"
"Coral tree!"
The two looked at each other. Chen Wenzhe's question was while the officer's was affirmative. He really knew these treasures very well!
"Is this the Linglong Pagoda? You were a professional and recognized this treasure immediately. I could only identify it as a coral tree based on its appearance."
"I'm sure, this is Cixi's legacy, the second of the top ten treasures!"
The Lingling Pagoda is said to be the most valuable funerary object in the Dongling Tomb of Cixi. It is a "Nine Linglong Pagoda" carved from white jade and is said to be able to "flow clouds of smoke".
"Look below to see if there are any jade objects." Chen Wenzhe started directly.
After cleaning up the gems buried in the pagoda and slightly moving the exquisite pagoda above, some small pieces of jade below were exposed.
Under the exquisite pagoda, there is another jade lotus root.
This treasure is carved from a whole piece of Hetian jade, with three colors: red for flowers, green for leaves, and white for lotus roots. There are gray traces on the white lotus roots, which are used as mud, like floating in the water, fresh and magnificent as if alive.
things.
There are also countless water chestnuts carved in black jade, and there are also Hotan jade Buddha statues, Guanyin, fruits and vegetables, grasshoppers, birds and animals, rare and strange animals. Although it cannot be expressed as innumerable, the jade items in this box
, really a lot.
In this way, the coral tree seemed to be somewhat overshadowed.
Of course, this coral tree is also unique.
This is a bright and magnificent large coral tree. This coral tree is covered with clusters of small cherry trees with bunches of fruit, green stems, green leaves, and red fruits. It is delicate and bright.
Under the coral tree, there were many pearls. As he moved them outwards, Chen Wenzhe discovered that although there were not many pearls, each one was a treasure.
It can also be seen from this that Empress Dowager Cixi still loves pearls very much.
There are not many pearls here. It must be because we know that pearls cannot withstand storage, so we only selected some treasures and put them here to hide them.
