The situation in the sarcophagus was somewhat expected by Liu Dong, but also somewhat beyond his expectation.??
What was expected was that there was no gold or silver in the sarcophagus, and what was unexpected was that the bones were intact. Obviously the person who took the treasure respected the owner of the tomb, but this style was not like tomb robbing.
thief!
"Huh?"
Liu Dong's expression changed. He bent down and reached out and took out a piece of yellowed paper from the bones in the sarcophagus! The paper was filled with traditional Chinese characters. After reading through the content, Liu Dong understood that this was a sacrificial text. Through this sacrificial text,
, and Sun Wen who was the last person to sign the name, we now understand whose hands the treasure that was originally hidden here by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fell into!
If the description in this memorial article is true, then the Northern Expedition in 1927 was probably thanks to the support of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom treasure here!
"But the bones of Hong Xiuquan are not in this coffin?" After receiving the memorial inscription and taking a look at the white skeleton lying on his back in the coffin, Liu Dong crossed his legs and did a horse riding squatting position. His left and right hands had firmly grasped the two sides of the sarcophagus.
side!
"Hey!"
Exhale loudly, and the huge force starts from the feet to the waist, then rises to the arms, and explodes instantly from the hands.
"Stab it!"
After a harsh friction sound, the giant sarcophagus weighing three to four tons was slowly moved by Liu Dong.
Fortunately, there was no one around in this underground cave. Otherwise, if someone saw such an amazing scene, it would have spread all over the world in just half a day!
"Boom!"
When Liu Dong lowered the sarcophagus, there was a loud noise and the ground felt shaking.
“I didn’t expect this thing to be quite heavy!”
Shaking his slightly numb arm, Liu Dong looked at the black hole that was originally blocked by the giant sarcophagus.
This is a square stone cave with a side length of one meter! It is hidden enough. If the sarcophagus is not moved, no one will know that there is a cave under the sarcophagus!
But if you want to move this heavy sarcophagus, which weighs three to four tons, I'm afraid it won't be possible for just a few people! After getting the treasures in the three caves outside and satisfying your inner greed, I'm afraid no one will know the real treasure.
The core is not in the three caves at all. It is under the sarcophagus!
This is why Liu Dong noticed at the beginning that these three caves had been climbed first, but still came here!
Of course, now this place is no longer just a treasure, but should become the tomb of Hong Xiuquan!
However, the construction of this tomb is really clever. The real main tomb chamber is not in these three caves, but is hidden on the lower level. A complex tomb structure like this is also the least likely to be detected by tomb thieves.
Even if one floor is stolen, the hope of preserving the next floor is very high.
Of course, a double-layered composite structure tomb like this is not the most complicated. The three-layer or even multi-layered composite structure tomb is the burial system that really tests people's wisdom!
According to unofficial rumors, the 'Cao Cao Tomb', which has been hunted by many tomb robbers and even archaeologists for thousands of years, has a multi-layered composite structure in addition to a large number of suspected tombs!
After detouring around the front of the cave and taking a brief look, Liu Dong slowly walked down the stone steps extending downward in the cave.
The stone steps spiral downward, and there are horn lamps for lighting on the surrounding walls. Of course, they have been extinguished long ago.
Liu Dong walked along the steps for about a hundred meters. After feeling that he was nearly 15 meters deep into the ground again, his eyes suddenly opened up. A tomb about 100 square meters appeared in front of him.
While the situation in the tomb opened Liu Dong's eyes, he also felt that his trip was worthwhile.??
Except for some empty space at the entrance of the tomb, the rest of the space is actually densely filled with gold, jades, jewelry, porcelain and other funerary objects!
And guarding these funerary objects is a golden nanmu coffin on the coffin bed in the tomb!
After controlling the scope of the relic's original light, Liu Dong found that what was stored in the golden nanmu coffin was a body lying on its back on gold and silver jewelry, wearing a dragon robe, a golden crown on its head, a sword hanging on its waist, and holding a jade seal in both hands.
Male corpse! No, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say it was a skeleton.
Over the past 150 years, if it had not been for extremely sophisticated embalming methods, the body would have rotted into ashes.
Taking a few steps forward, Liu Dong bent down and picked up a blue and white dragon-patterned plum vase from the ground! This plum vase was just a very common burial object in the 100-square-meter main tomb chamber.
But the base of this plum vase is inscribed with the six characters "Made in the Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty". From the perspective of craftsmanship, although this is not the top quality, it is only for the emperor to play with, but it is also reserved for the royal family and is exclusively used by vassal kings from all over the world.
One of the imperial kiln wares! The reason for this judgment is mainly based on the dragon pattern on the plum vase. The ones supplied to the emperor usually have five-clawed dragon patterns, while the princes and grandsons have four-clawed dragons. Among the vassal kings and the royal family
Most people are three-clawed chilongs. And the dragon pattern on this plum vase is exactly the three-clawed chidragon pattern.
But even so, the value of this Xuande imperial kiln blue and white piece is no less than ten million.
However, although the Xuande blue and white flowers are precious, they are only average among the funerary objects in this place.
Next to it are the more precious Hongwu underglaze red porcelain, genuine royal kiln Xuande blue and white porcelain, Wanli multicolored porcelain and other fine Ming Dynasty porcelain.
"Thinking about the time when the Taiping Army swept through the richest places in China such as Huguang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and destroyed countless wealthy families, it is no wonder that they were able to collect so many porcelains, paintings, jades and other fine works of art!"
Thinking back to the Taiping Army's heyday more than 150 years ago, when it occupied almost the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River provinces, and then looking at the large number of works of art with astonishing value, Liu Dong was not surprised.
Along the way, Liu Dong was also using the mustard space to slowly pack up these rich burial objects. Excluding jewelry, there were no less than 1500 pieces of paintings, jades, porcelain, bronzes, etc. in total. And there was even more gold.
Amounting to 150 tons! As for the silver, Liu Dong didn't see it! It was probably placed in the three large stone caves outside and Sun Wen took them all away!
After spending more than an hour clearing away the things on the floor of the main tomb chamber and the coffin bed, Liu Dong walked around the coffin several times! Looking at the closed environment around him, Liu Dong also turned off the switch. Otherwise, even if
Even though I held my breath, I still felt very tired inside.
Fortunately, the relic Yuan Guang was there, so even if the switch was not turned on, it would not delay Liu Dong from taking out the contents.
As for the first target, Liu Dong set his sight on the jade seal held by the skeleton.
As soon as he thought about it, Liu Dong felt his right hand sink. When he looked around, he saw a golden jade seal three inches long, two inches wide, with a chilong button on the top and four characters of "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" printed on the bottom.
Appeared suddenly in front of my eyes.
Although this square jade seal is not one of the six necessary seals for the emperor, looking at the skeleton specifically holding it in his arms, we can also see how precious this square jade seal is. If Liu Dong's prediction is correct, the seal on this square is "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom"
'The golden seal is probably the real symbol of power of the Taiping Rebellion.
And this Fang Yuxi can be regarded as one of the most precious treasures among the treasures obtained by Liu Dong this time!
After carefully examining and appreciating the jade seal, Liu Dong put it into the mustard space! When he reached out again, the sword hanging from the waist of the skeleton in the coffin appeared in Liu Dong's hand.
The scabbard of the sword is made of shark leather inlaid with gold thread dragon patterns. The beast-faced mouth of the sword and the sword are each inlaid with two red sapphires! Judging from the aging of the scabbard and sword jaw surfaces, it is obvious that this scabbard is a later accessory, not
Original.
But this is not important, what is important is the blade of this sword!
Therefore, after just sizing it up briefly, Liu Dong held the hilt of the sword with his left hand and pulled it upward with a little force!
"laugh!"
Amidst the slight friction sound, a cold light burst out instantly, causing Liu Dong to close his eyes involuntarily, and he also felt a slight tingling in his hands. Maybe it was an illusion, but Liu Dong believed that it was contained in
The murderous intent on this sword!
"Qinghong!"
On the sword body that was exposed and shining with green light, Liu Dong saw two familiar ancient Han Li!
"Qinghong? Qinghong Sword? Isn't it?" Seeing the two Han officials on the sword, Liu Dong's face showed a look of disbelief.
Anyone who is familiar with the Three Kingdoms knows that Zhao Zilong of Changbanpo made seven entries and seven exits, and rescued Liu Adou, the unlucky emperor of Hou Shu! However, in addition to Liu Adou, who was taken away by Zhao Yun was also Qing Qing, who was as famous as Cao Cao's sword Yitian Sword.
Rainbow Sword'!
The Qinghong Sword and the Yitian Sword are two divine swords forged by Cao Cao. They cut iron like clay and are extremely sharp. The Yitian Sword suppresses power and is equipped by Cao Cao himself. The Qinghong Sword kills people, so it is handed over to Xia Houen, a close relative of his family!
During the battle at Changbanpo, Xia Houen used his strength to join the battle behind Cao Cao's back. He was later stabbed to death by Zhao Yun. This Qinghong Sword became Zhao Yun's trophy. It was also thanks to this sharp sword that it could cut iron like clay.
With the Qinghong Sword, Zhao Yun was able to defeat more than fifty generals of Cao Cao with one shot and one sword, and gained the reputation of Nuo University.
Later, this Qinghong Sword accompanied Zhao Yunnan in the Northern War and became one of the most famous divine swords in later generations!
It’s just that Liu Dong couldn’t guess how the Qinghong Sword, which was famous all over the world a thousand years ago, became the object buried with Hong Xiuquan?
"Qiang!"
With Liu Dong's force, the Qinghong Sword, which was about 90 centimeters long, was pulled out completely.
Soon, Liu Dong felt a cold air rushing towards him. His exposed skin even felt a slight tingling sensation.
In surprise, Liu Dong looked at the divine sword flashing with azure brilliance in the darkness, and thought to himself: "It is indeed the Qinghong Sword, it is so murderous!"
Nowadays, although there are not many divine swords and weapons in Liu Dong's hands, there are still a few! But whether it is the Chixiao Sword, the general Mo Xie, or the Yuchang and Qijian, even with the addition of the 'White Deer Sword',
In terms of killing power, it is not as strong as the Qinghong Sword!
It can be seen from this that this Qinghong Sword is really a divine sword purely designed for killing! (To be continued.)
