Bean Sprout's eyes gleamed and he immediately wanted to reach out for it.
I opened his hand.
This box has been buried underground for hundreds of years. Since it was well preserved and sealed, it is no exaggeration to say that the moment we opened it, a golden light emerged and dazzled people's eyes.
Inside, there is actually a well-preserved gold leaf book!
I took it out carefully, my heart beating very fast.
This kind of gold book was made as thin as cicada wings. It was a kind of currency used in place of copper coins in the Song Dynasty. It could not be used by ordinary people and had special purposes. At that time, it was mainly used in taxation, worship to heaven, military expenditures, and rewards. Although it was
It is made of pure gold, but it is actually very difficult to preserve it completely. You may make a hole by pressing it hard with your fingernails, and this thing will rarely appear in tombs. This is the first time I have seen the real thing.
After counting, there were a total of sixteen pieces folded inside the golden book, which was even more rare.
It's a pity that there is no inscription on the gold book, otherwise this thing would be extraordinary.
As far as I know, most of these things in the industry are "single pieces". The better ones can have five or six pieces in a row, and anything more than ten pieces is very rare.
This is a total of sixteen pieces! Perhaps it is the largest number of pieces discovered in China at present.
Douyazai said excitedly, "Fengzi, let me see it! Let me get started! It's the first time I've seen this!"
I carefully put it back in the box and said, "Look again when you go back. You are so careless. If you accidentally break one, we will suffer great losses. What did I just say? Don't underestimate the leftover pot. As long as you are careful enough, the leftover pot will be broken."
You may also get fat meat from the pot to eat."
"I really admire you Fengzi, you are really awesome. If you asked me to find eight achievements and missed it, no wonder I asked you to be my successor. We haven't made any money for two months. Now those two white horses and black oxen are here.
With the addition of this complete golden book, it’s all restored at once.”
Brother Yu said, "Yunfeng, why do I think you are not very interested?"
Of course I'm happy, and I'm also excited, but I don't put all my thoughts on my face like Dou Sprout.
At the same time, I was still thinking about another thing.
Why should the golden book be hidden here in such a grand and hidden way?
It is true that gold albums are very valuable now, but in the Song Dynasty they were not considered rare treasures, they were just a special kind of currency.
So were the Manichaean believers of the Song Dynasty hiding here? Or were the rebels hiding here?
Or maybe he simply joined the Manichaean rebels?
Assuming that according to my speculation, the rebel army looted the entire Hangzhou, there should be many such gold books. Why would Mao hide one here alone?
I don't think this is very logical.
Could it be
Thinking of some possibility, I immediately took a short-handled shovel and continued digging along the same spot.
After digging down another thirty or forty centimeters, the soil underneath became harder and harder.
Dou Sprout took a look and said, "Don't dig up the peak. This is dead soil. There must be nothing there."
I grabbed a handful of soil and observed it carefully under the flashlight.
The soil was gray and yellow, and after crushing it vigorously, I found that it was mixed with some sand. I licked a little and tasted it and threw it away.
Dou Sprout is right, it is indeed dead soil. It seems that I am a little greedy.
The three of us were chatting when we suddenly heard a "pop!" behind us.
I quickly looked back and saw that the urn originally placed in the wall hole had fallen and shattered into pieces.
Ordinary people might be frightened, but the three of us were more or less experienced in many battles, so we didn't pay much attention.
But the next second, there was another snap!
Another urn fell by itself! It also shattered into pieces!
Then the third
indivual!
In just a few seconds, three urns fell down and shattered into pieces.
Dou Sprout took two steps back, turned to me and said, "Fengzi, what the hell is going on? Did you just go up and read it and didn't fix it properly?"
Looking at the broken pottery fragments and old ashes scattered on the ground, I turned pale and said, "No way, these urns have supports at the bottom and no one touches them, how could they fall by themselves?"
Douyazai swallowed, held up a strong flashlight and looked around, and said in a slightly frightened voice, "Did we take the golden book and make the owner here unhappy?"
As soon as Dou Sprout finished speaking, an even more nerve-wracking scene appeared.
I saw a few beetles crawling out of nowhere, just like the beetles we just saw when we pried open the stone slab.
At first, I only saw a few scattered ones, but in a blink of an eye, there were more and more, so many that I couldn't count them at a glance. They seemed to appear out of thin air from the ground, and they became more and more dense.
Within a few minutes, many unknown beetles appeared under my feet. These unknown beetles crawled very fast.
The cave environment is dark and humid, so it's not surprising to see all kinds of cave bugs. These are not corpse turtles. Even if they are corpse turtles, don't be afraid. They can't eat humans.
But the scene in front of me was very abnormal. These insects seemed to be awakened by something, and my intuition told me to leave quickly.
"Brother Yu! Pack your things quickly! Let's get out of here!"
Brother Yu didn't waste any words. He acted quickly and immediately packed up all the tools.
"hiss"
Suddenly I felt a stinging pain in my heel, like being pricked by a pin.
I quickly took off my shoes.
Only then did I realize that a beetle had gotten into my shoe and bit me through my sock.
After crushing the bug with one foot, I put on my shoes and asked the two of them to run outside.
"What's wrong
Yunfeng?"
Seeing me walking slower and slower, Brother Yu asked.
"Damn, my heel hurts! I didn't pay attention and got bitten just now!"
"Can we go then? How about I carry you?"
"No need, Brother Yu. It will probably be fine in a while. It's not a big problem."
We ran up to the hot spring in one breath, and then we dared to stop and take a breath.
The gold album and the silver box containing the gold album were both in my bag. I handed the bag to Brother Yu, then sat on the ground and took off my shoes and socks to look at it.
"Fengzi! Why are your feet swollen?" Douyazai asked loudly.
Brother Yu explained that I had just been accidentally bitten by those beetles, and Bean Sprouts immediately said, "Damn! That must be poisonous! Fortunately, I ran fast and didn't get bitten!"
Brother Yu asked me nervously, "Yunfeng, do you feel dizzy or dizzy or anything like that?"
I grinned, "That's not true. It just feels like being stung by a scorpion. It hurts more and more every time it touches the ground."
Dou Sprout analyzed and said, "In my opinion, if it's like a scorpion sting, it should be fine. It'll just hurt for a while."
Brother Yu frowned and said that the bite was so swollen, so we don’t dare to be careless. After all, we don’t even know what kind of bug it is, so it’s best to deal with it first.”
My face was so painful that I was sweating. I asked Brother Yu what to do. We didn’t bring any disinfectant or bandages in our bags before we came down.
Brother Yu thought for a while and said, "You can use a knife to cut the bitten area, and then try to inhale the poison. Yazai, how about you help me?"
"Me? Let me suck it?"
I cut my heel with a knife, stretched out my foot and said urgently
"As Brother Yu said, do me a favor! Hurry! If it's too late, I might have to have my leg amputated!"
Seeing that I was sweating in pain, Dou Sprout gritted his teeth and didn't hesitate.
He held my feet and slowly leaned over with his lips pursed.
