After having dinner at Chen Jie's house, Su Jiu went directly to her third uncle's house.
The countryside in the evening, with the setting sun slanting and the afterglow of sunset, makes Chenjia Village look particularly beautiful.
The Buddha is shrouded in a layer of golden light, which is brilliant, and the smoke is lingering in the distance, showing a sense of tranquility.
"Master Su, you are here. Come on in, sit down, and have a cup of hot tea." The third uncle saw Su Jiu's arrival from afar, stood at the door, stepped forward, and said enthusiastically.
"Third uncle, you're welcome. There have been no other changes in Niu Shen Cave recently!" Su Jiuyi entered the door without saying much and went straight to the topic.
It had been several months since the last time I left Chenjiacun. I told my third uncle to pay more attention to the situation in Niu Shen Cave, so I started asking as soon as I came in.
"Nothing has changed yet. I really want to thank Master Su for what happened last time. To be honest, I have seen the changes in Chenjiacun in the past few months. When Chenjiacun met Master Su, I really met a noble person.
!" Third Uncle Ruoyou said with a sigh.
"Third uncle, please don't say that. Chen Jie and I are good brothers and classmates. This is what I should do!" Su Jiu said comfortingly after hearing this.
"Look at me, this man sighs a lot as he gets older. Master Su is already laughing at his old age." The third uncle put his mind at ease, moved a stool, and went to make some tea.
"It's okay, Third Uncle. Listen to Chen Jie, you called me over. Do you have something to say to me?" Su Jiu said politely and smiled to Third Uncle.
According to the original plan, I plan to go to my third uncle's house early tomorrow morning, and then go directly to the Niu Shen Cave in the back mountain like last time, go down directly to the cave, solve the problem of the inverted sarcophagus, and take a look at it together.
What is the secret of the ancient tomb? However, when I entered the village just now, I heard the youngest's words and felt that the third uncle had something to say to me. That's why I went out at night.
"Yes, Master Su, there is something I want to give you." After hearing what Su Jiu said, the third uncle's expression suddenly became serious.
"Master Su, come with me." The third uncle paused, then said, pulling Su Jiu towards the back room.
When Su Jiu saw it, she didn't say anything and immediately followed him.
The third uncle's house was an ordinary private house, with two floors and two entrances. There was a small courtyard behind the house. Su Jiu followed the third uncle directly to the small courtyard.
There is only one simple wooden house in the small yard, which is not big. The small yard is empty.
The third uncle took Su Jiu to the small yard and walked directly towards the wooden house. He took out the key and opened the padlock of the wooden house. He turned on the light and dim light shone in the wooden house.
The wooden house was full of debris and looked a bit messy. The space in the room was not large. After the third uncle came in, he closed the door of the wooden house.
This series of actions made Su Jiu feel a little confused. However, Su Jiu did not ask any questions and kept following him.
After the third uncle closed the door, he walked towards the innermost end, where there was a push of firewood. The third uncle moved the firewood away, and a special object appeared on the ground. Its color was somewhat different from other wooden boards. Su Jiu used the dim light to
The light turned on and something was wrong immediately.
After the third uncle removed the firewood, he opened the wooden board and revealed a dark secret compartment.
"This is..." Su Jiu was a little confused. The box that the third uncle was holding was about the same size as the suitcase that his daughter used to get married. It was half a meter high and about one meter long and wide. Looking at the third uncle, he couldn't see anything.
Without saying anything, Su Jiu handed the box to him directly. Su Jiu was confused.
"Master Su, I'm sorry, I hid the matter of this box last time. After thinking about it, I still felt a little uneasy and decided to give this box to you." The third uncle said to Su Jiu with some embarrassment.
"What's in here?" Su Jiu was a little confused and took the box from the third uncle's hand. The third uncle hid this box so tightly. Naturally, it was something that the third uncle valued very much. From what the third uncle meant, what was in this box
The thing should be related to Niu Shen Cave. What exactly is it?
"Master Su, you will know after you open it and take a look." The third uncle said a little sarcastically, with a somewhat guilty look on his face.
"Okay!" Su Jiu saw the expression of the third uncle. Su Jiu was not so pretentious. The box had some weight, but it was not very heavy. There shouldn't be many things in it. Su Jiu placed the box on the wooden board on the ground.
superior.
The padlock of the box was entangled with iron wire. Judging from the iron wire, it was rusty. It was obviously old. Su Jiu used one hand to break the iron wire directly.
When she opened the box and saw it, Su Jiu was immediately shocked.
"This is……"
"Third Uncle, this thing was taken from Niu Shen Cave!" Su Jiu was shocked, looking at the things in the box in front of him, and asked.
"Yes, that's right. When I brought it in for the first time, I encountered the statue. It was different from what you saw last time, Master Su. These things were all on the statue. At that time, we also encountered
When those strange insects attacked me, the discovery of this thing helped me avoid a disaster. However, because I didn't have time, I was the only one who survived. It was precisely because of this that I was still young at the time, and I couldn't help but have some private thoughts in my heart.
I kept the things by myself, and no one else knew about it."
"For so many years, I have always been uneasy in my heart. The things in this box are like thorns, piercing deeply into my heart. Originally, I wanted to tell you when Master Su came last time, but
, I still hesitated. Now, I hand over this thing, and I feel much more comfortable. This thorn has been pulled out and is no longer pierced into my heart."
The third uncle had a relaxed expression on his face and spoke slowly.
After Su Jiu listened, he looked at the things in the box. They were shining with gold. Yes, the thing in the box was exactly a piece of gold silk clothes and trousers, something like armor. It felt like it was made of pure gold. When he held it in his hand,
It weighs more than ten kilograms.
Imagine that a pound of gold weighing more than ten kilograms weighs 500 grams. In other words, more than ten kilograms weighs at least five or six kilograms. The price of one gram of gold, based on the current price, is at least more than two hundred yuan.
In terms of money, just based on the value of gold, the contents of this box are worth more than one million.
This is still the lowest estimate. Obviously, the value of this gold silk dress must be more than this. Even a fool can imagine it with his toes.
Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times. Obviously, apart from anything else, this gold silk garment is definitely an antique in the eyes of some experts, and it is worth a lot of money. If it is put up for auction, its value of hundreds of millions is nothing.
It is understandable that Third Uncle was tempted at first. If Su Jiu was put in front of such a thing, Su Jiu would be tempted.
"Uncle Third, these things are what should have been on the statue!" Su Jiu took a deep breath and closed the box. The golden crown, gold clothes, and gold trousers were all in one set.
Among the ancient tombs of Niu Shen Cave, there is only one statue with such a set of things on it, which obviously has some meaning.
Burial objects? It shouldn't be that simple. When I took the golden crown back, I studied it and found that there was a very special aura fluctuation in the golden crown, but I couldn't feel any other abnormalities.
The fluctuation was very obvious yet very hidden, and seemed very contradictory. I searched for it in the golden compass in my mind, but could not find any relevant content.
"Yes, it is a complete set. Originally, we wanted to take away the golden crown as well, but due to the appearance of the strange insect, we did not have time, so it has been left below. Master Su, the golden crown should be there
Take it in your hands!" The third uncle heard this
Su Jiu asked and answered immediately.
"Yes, the crown is in my hand."
Su Jiu agreed and didn't say anything else. He couldn't figure out the contents of this box for a while. He paused in his heart, thought for a while, and spoke.
"Third uncle, let's do this! I have accepted this thing, but I will leave it in your hands for the time being. I will come back to get it after the Niu Shen Cave matter is resolved. Third uncle, don't worry, I won't take it for nothing. How much is this thing worth? I
Just pay as much as you want to buy it, and the money will be used as start-up capital for the development of Chenjiacun."
Su Jiu said with a serious face.
"Okay, listen to Master Su. Our Chenjia Village has been so poor for so many years. With such a sum of money, repairing the road is an opportunity for our Chenjia Village. Here, I would like to thank Master Su.
"
After hearing Su Jiu's words, the third uncle hesitated and pondered for a while, and then said affirmatively.
Su Jiu handed the box to his third uncle, who took it carefully and put it back into the secret compartment intact, restoring everything to its original state.
Su Jiu and Third Uncle walked out of the wooden house, left the small courtyard, and returned to the main hall. There was no one else in Third Uncle's house. After chatting with Third Uncle for a while, Su Jiu left Third Uncle's house and returned to Chen Jie's house.
.
There aren't many entertainment programs at night in the countryside. The greatest pleasure is to chat with a few neighbors or watch TV with the whole family.
When Su Jiu came back, it was already dark, and dogs barking could be heard from time to time in the village, which seemed very quiet.
Chen Jie's parents had already gone back to their room to watch TV. Only Chen Jie was still waiting for Su Jiu.
Tonight, Su Jiu and Chen Jie are together.
Along the way, Su Jiu was thinking about the box that her third uncle took out. She had a lot of thoughts about the things in the box. When she returned to Chen Jie's house, she didn't talk much. Su Jiu started to rest. In fact, in her mind
That's what I was thinking about.
"It is the same set as the golden crown. What is so special about this thing? What is its connection with this ancient tomb and the blood sacrifice of the Gu seedlings?"
"What are the connections between these ancient tombs, Niu Shen Cave, King Liang Xiao, and the inverted sarcophagus..."
More and more questions popped up in Su Jiu's mind.
No matter what! Tomorrow, all the answers will be revealed... (To be continued)
