He looked outside the door, and after making sure that no one else was coming at this point, he bolted the door from the inside.
When he walked to that corner, in order to save time, Zhang Yu directly collected all the garbage on the ground into the secret space, then took out a new shovel from the space and quickly dug in the previous direction.
It was only after he cleared away all the soil around the stone slab that he saw the specific shape of the stone slab.

The round stone slabs used here were slightly smaller than those used by his grandfather. Zhang Yu felt that he should be able to move them by himself.
He used a shovel to pry up a corner of the stone slab, then bent down, put his hand into the place where the shovel had been pried up, and started to exert force.
After the stone slab was removed, a dark cellar was revealed. Zhang Yu poked his head inside and smelled a rotten smell. He hesitated for a while and decided to ventilate the cellar first and go in later.
.
He was not idle while the cellar was being ventilated, but casually looked at the place where the house used to be. After looking for a while, he suddenly discovered a strange place.
When he was passing by, he accidentally stepped on a floor tile made of bluestone. When he looked down at the floor tile, he suddenly discovered that it was a fire point.
Although the bricks and tiles of the house have been removed, the bluestone slabs on the ground are still there. The marks on those slabs clearly told Zhang Yu that this place was the first place where the fire broke out in the whole house, not
Kitchens like those people doubt.
The house had been on fire. It was not surprising that there were fire points. But yesterday, he asked the old people in the yard. The old people said that the yard suddenly caught fire. When someone found out and went to put out the fire, the beams and other things in the house were all burned.
It was already on fire, and when they broke open the door and came in, all the rooms were burned together, and the kitchen was burned the most, so some people suspected that the kitchen was the first place where the fire broke out.
The old man still clearly remembered that they worked for most of the night that night and failed to put out the fire. In the end, a sudden heavy rain stopped the house from continuing to burn.
After the fire was brought under control, when a few young people took the risk to go in to rescue people wearing wet quilts, they found that the whole family had unfortunately died.
The original homeowner's family of six, including a newborn daughter, were all killed in the fire, and no one survived.
Because it was discovered late, and the fire was too strong at the time, and it was night, no one could really tell where the fire started.
The heavy rain that followed also caused many traces to disappear. As a result, the owner of the house had no relatives and no one to pursue them on their behalf. Coupled with the inaction of the government at the time and the laziness of the police, the matter ended in the end.
It happened unexpectedly, and then nothing happened.
The original homeowner had no relatives, and the police didn't care. Naturally, no one took the risk of offending the police by checking for any fire hazards.
When talking about the original homeowner's family, the old people all showed expressions of pity.
Such a good family was gone, especially the small children.
The old man sighed when he thought of the few little corpses that were carried out from that room. The children were still so young and had not seen the world, so he followed them away.
Thinking of what those old people said, and looking at the fire spot in front of him, the structure of the house and the distance between the houses, Zhang Yu suddenly had some ideas in his mind.
Could it be?
In order to verify this idea, he carefully checked the floors of all the houses and finally determined a total of six fire points.
Once these six ignition points were discovered, the cause of the fire became clear.
He can now say with certainty that this fire was definitely not an accident. If there were only one or two ignition points, it could be barely involved in an accident.
But there are six fire points. Six places. Whose house can have six fire points in a fire?
Looking at the fire spot in front of him, Zhang Yu's eyes flashed. He wondered if all this had something to do with the cellar he discovered?
It happened that the cellar had been opened for half an hour at this time. Full of doubts, Zhang Yu bit the flashlight in his mouth, tightened the self-defense tools in his hands, and slowly climbed down the stairs.
The moment he landed, a burst of dust hit his face as he moved.
"Cough cough cough cough." Zhang Yu covered his nose with his hand and coughed hard. After a while, he felt better.
He shined a flashlight over it and easily saw what the cellar looked like.
The space in the cellar is not large, about seven or eight square meters by visual inspection. There are two large boxes placed near the corner, and there are no locks on the boxes.
Zhang Yu slowly approached the box and carefully used the tool in his hand to open the lid, revealing a piece of stuff wrapped in yellow silk. He used the tool to open the silk as well.
"The jade seal, it's actually the jade seal!" Zhang Yu exclaimed in disbelief. He couldn't believe his eyes.
While his mind was still in shock, his body reacted first, and without caring about any danger, he rushed forward and held the piece of jade seal in his arms, looking at it up and down.
Yes, this is the treasure, the legendary thing.
The book describes this jade seal, which is four inches in diameter and has five dragons on it. On the front, there are eight seal characters engraved on it: "Ordered by heaven, you will live long and prosperous."
Right, everything is right.
Zhang Yu turned his attention to a corner of the jade seal. There were traces of gold inlay and repair there, which matched the legend.
Legend has it that Wang Mang, a powerful official in the Western Han Dynasty, felt that he was a good candidate to become emperor, so he proposed to try for a term.
Queen Xiaoyuan of the Western Han Dynasty faced Wang Mang's usurpation of power and forced the palace and asked for the jade seal passed down to the country. She thought that this life would never go away. In desperation, she picked up the jade seal and threw it to the ground, causing a corner of the jade seal to fall off.
Wang Mang grinned in distress and ordered the craftsmen to repair it with gold. From then on, the national jade seal was also known as "gold inlaid with jade".
Zhang Yu recalled all the records about this jade seal in the history books and compared it. After all the details and all the anti-counterfeiting measures were matched, he finally confirmed that this jade seal was really the jade seal passed down from the country.
This result made him feel weak and he almost fell over.
But thinking about what he was holding in his hands, he felt full of strength.
It's not that he was excited, but it was actually said that the concept of jade seal to Chinese people is different from any other cultural relics. Since the Qin Dynasty, this jade seal has been given a special meaning, which also contains the people's hearts.
