"The Taotie of Pearls is well-deserved!" The officer sighed while carrying the jewelry.
It is said that every time she encountered a major incident, Cixi would hold a big pearl in her hand to help her calm down and make decisions.
During Cixi's reign, the number of death among pearl divers in the Qing Dynasty was more than ten times that before.
After Cixi was buried, there are records that four liters of pearls were poured into the burial, including 500 eight-point pearls, 2,200 three-point pearls, and 1,000 two-point pearls.
There are so many pearls just to fill the gaps in the coffin.
Later, some people called it "Pearl Taotie", which is no exaggeration.
Of course, there are not that many pearls here, but they are also used to fill the gaps in the coffin, no, just to fill the gaps in the box!
Chen Wenzhe was very excited after discovering so many good things, because he felt that throbbing again.
There is indeed something he needs in here.
"What a pity, there is no chance of a gold-woven Dharani quilt appearing here!"
Chen Wenzhe glanced at the officer with strange eyes.
He was so greedy that he actually wanted to catch all the ten treasures buried with Cixi!
"You don't have to think too hard about that thing. If I remember correctly, there is one in the National Palace Museum. It's a pity that it's damaged."
In the National Palace Museum in Shendu, there is a remnant woven gold Dharani quilt. According to records, the quilt was embellished with 820 pearls.
When Cixi was buried, a tennis quilt decorated with 6,000 pearls was covered on top of the quilt.
"Who can prove that the sutra quilt came from Cixi's tomb?" The officer was a little reluctant.
Chen Wenzhe smiled: "First of all, Sun Dianying must have despised the quilt used by Cixi. No matter how good it is, it is useless. Otherwise, the paintings and calligraphy in Qianlong's tomb would not have been lost so much."
"In the Qing palace, as long as there were pearls, they would fall into Cixi's hands, not to mention the quilts made from so many pearls!"
This is not nonsense by Chen Wenzhe. After all, Pearl Taotie is not picked at will.
Cixi loved pearls very much during her lifetime. She was not satisfied even if she had the Dongzhu in the palace all to herself. The next-level pearls were provided to her first. The next-level pearls were also used as medicine and were used in meals for Cixi to enjoy first. The rest were
It was the turn of the emperor and his concubines.
After meeting such a person, how could other emperors use countless pearls to make the same gold-woven Dharani quilt?
The only possibility is that the one in the Forbidden City belongs to Cixi.
While talking, the two of them cleaned the things in the box.
Of course, they first clean up the small pieces used to fill the gaps, especially the small pieces of jade, as well as gems, pearls, jade beads, etc.
There are the most gems in it, especially sapphires, but some of them seem to be tourmalines.
Although Chen Wenzhe has checked a lot of information, he still doesn't know much about tourmaline. He only knows how much the top-grade tourmaline is worth.
The tourmalines, rubies and sapphires here are all held with both hands.
Each time, he would give a large handful to the warriors behind him, and then these warriors would be put into some boxes and sent out.
This speed is still very fast.
Cleaning up what they saw earlier, what comes next is what they didn't see.
For example, there are emerald lotus leaves, 10 emerald Buddhas, 8 jade carved horses, 18 jade arhats, four emerald watermelons, 10 emerald peaches, two emerald cabbages, and countless small jade pieces. I think this was also used in those days.
Come to plug the gap in the coffin.
"There's something wrong. There are too many treasures here."
As treasures kept appearing one after another, Chen Wenzhe realized something was wrong.
Other things were easy to talk about, but four emerald watermelons and two emerald cabbages suddenly appeared here, which made him feel very surprised.
"There is nothing wrong. Even this box may be made from the coffin boards of Empress Dowager Cixi."
Chen Wenzhe was stunned for a moment, then looked at the box in front of him.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong with it. What kind of box was this?
This is a coffin, right? A gloomy wooden coffin inserted vertically into the water.
The small double doors on it must have been processed later. Who could be so ingenious in handling a coffin like this?
Could it be a prophet? He knew that the coffin would fall into the water and be inserted into a hole under the water?
Definitely not, this was deliberately arranged by someone.
At this time, Chen Wenzhe realized that the golden finger was not omnipotent. He seemed to be unable to see some things through the golden finger.
I hope this is due to special circumstances, otherwise, wouldn't his golden finger be too weak?
Well, the ability to be able to see what is happening on any object and around you is not bad!
I shook my head to get rid of these thoughts. It might be a coincidence.
No matter what, this box is surprisingly big, and the contents inside are beyond everyone's expectations.
"This may be the most precious cultural relics among the entire Dongling relics." The officer said with emotion.
Chen Wenzhe admired the greed of those people for hiding so many treasures.
It seems that people are really prepared for this day. They may have been planning for this day since their ancestors.
But they didn't expect that although their goal was achieved, it would end up in Chen Wenzhe's hands.
They were not greedy to collect the gold, and the things were hidden under the waterfall and in a natural shaft.
If Chen Wenzhe hadn't been involved in the search, he wouldn't have been able to find it even if he scraped the ground three feet away.
As long as there is no metal, a metal detector is useless.
Besides, the environment here is too special, and in many cases metal detectors are useless at all.
No matter what, Chen Wenzhe was in a good mood because he could feel that a treasure that attracted the Sui Marquis Pearl was about to appear.
After the jade, jade, pearls, gems, tourmaline, agate, and other large items were cleared away, what was left was just some stuff to fill the gaps in the coffin.
To the Empress Dowager Cixi, these were just gadgets, but to modern people, each piece is priceless.
Seeing these things and handling every one of them made Chen Wenzhe feel a little excited.
No one dislikes beautiful things. This is not greedy.
Every time he sees a beautiful carving, Chen Wenzhe will leave behind some skills after handling them, and he will slowly learn these in the future, and even become proficient in them.
As a large number of small items were taken away, the overall image of the gloomy wooden box was also exposed.
Chen Wenzhe didn't have any taboos. He directly put his head into the coffin and continued to move things out.
At this time, his other hand had accurately grasped something.
This time he controlled the Pearl of Sui Hou and did not let it absorb it immediately.
Therefore, this time he could clearly see what attracted Sui Hou's Pearl.
As long as you understand what it is, you can search for it purposefully in the future.
