Chapter 1092 Underground cave, amazing discovery
After the accident, Li Jiangnan quickly came here.
He looked at the deep hole and heard the miserable screams of Shui Guixiang and others below. He thought it must be some kind of anti-theft trap, but when he jumped down with the mine lamp, he realized that this was not a mechanism trap, but an authentic tunnel similar to that in an air raid shelter.
"Are you okay?" Li Jiangnan pulled up Shui Guixiang and the other two half buried in the soil one after another. Looking at them, there was nothing big except a boatman's finger fracture. At most, he was a little scared.
"No, it's okay. Mr. Li, why is there an authentic tunnel here?" After Shui Guixiang recovered from his fright, he used the light of the mine lamp to see the bad situation below.
"This tunnel should be a tunnel for hiding troops, which is equivalent to an ancient refuge. It can use the tunnel to mobilize troops, or hide in the tunnel when the enemy attacks in large numbers and avoid the limelight."
Li Jiangnan looked ahead. Except for the tunnel that collapsed was covered with soil, the tunnel in front was not damaged. You can clearly see the bluestone floor tiles that were only found in ancient times, as well as the ancient engravings representing serial numbers such as "A, B, C, D" engraved on the wall of the bluestone cave.
Li Jiangnan led Shui Guixiang and others to explore the tunnel. After walking for a while, he found that this tunnel of Tibetan soldiers was not simple. Not only was it large in area and the passage was very long, but the passage was also broken and sometimes there were forks.
Fortunately, there are no dangerous things like mechanism traps. Except for the fact that the air inside the tunnel is a bit moldy, everything is normal.
After another period, Li Jiangnan and others found a side room. The iron gate had already been rusted and fell to the ground. The side room was filled with mottled swords, rotten and dilapidated flints, and several red-clothed cannons covered with copper rust. They were neatly arranged, and there were many round stone ball shells on the side. It was obvious that this was an armory.
Shui Guixiang and others looked at these things and said in surprise: "Mr. Li, is this authenticity the rebels that store military supplies?"
Li Jiangnan looked at the ancient red-clothed cannons and nodded and said, "It should be."
"According to data records, the anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago took advantage of the unimpeded access of armed fleets to carry out ship trade in the waters of Danmasi and Luzon Island. On the one hand, they sold ceramics, tea and other materials from the Central Plains to the coast of the South China Sea. On the other hand, they obtained military supplies such as red-clothed cannons from the hands of the Red-haired Japanese who were active in the South China Sea. This Treasure Island, which is where we are now, should be their material transfer warehouse."
Shui Guixiang and others nodded one after another, walked to the row of red-clothed cannons, and while watching, they smacked their tongues: "There are more than a dozen red-clothed cannons alone. There are piles of ancient muskets and so many rusted swords and shields. If they were all exchanged for money, it would be a huge sum of money!"
Li Jiangnan nodded and said, "Yes, this Rebel fleet should be very rich in that era."
Several people looked at this armory, then left here and continued to explore ahead of the tunnel.
Not long after, they found another cave room full of moldy smell and the ground was full of rotten black mud. It is estimated that hundreds of years ago, this cave room should have been a warehouse for storing grain, but the countless grains stored here have now turned into black mud.
Li Jiangnan ignored the cave room and led a few people to continue exploring. After walking for a while, the narrow tunnel gradually became wider, and two huge arched stone doors appeared in front of him.
The closed bluestone door was carved with some ancient patterns such as dragons and phoenixes, and there were two copper rings on the door. They were originally locked together with iron chains, but for some reason, the lock and iron chain fell to the ground, with mottled rust and no longer able to be used.
"Mr. Li, you have a wide range of knowledge. Can you tell me what kind of divine beast is this?"
On the left and right sides of the stone gate, there were two stone beasts with majestic claws standing on each seat, and a sailor following Shui Guixiang pointed weakly, wondering if this was a stone lion or something else.
"This is a Pixiu stone sculpture."
Li Jiangnan looked at the two stone beasts and said, "In ancient times, Pixiu was regarded as a god of wealth gathering beast. It can not only conquer the house, but also attract wealth. It is often placed at the door by rich families."
"Since you have found these two Pixiu stone beasts, you can conclude that behind these two stone doors is the warehouse where the rebels store gold, silver and treasures."
After hearing this, Shui Guixiang and a few boatmen who followed him all showed surprise expressions. Immediately, two strong boatmen stepped forward and wanted to work together to push the heavy stone door open.
The loud noise in Kerala continued to make, and the thick stone door rubbed against the ground, and the sound was so terrifying that it sounded.
The two strong men were covered in the heads of falling soil and dust. After all, they gritted their teeth and pushed open a half-witted crack in the door.
There was no mechanism or any trap, and everything went surprisingly smoothly. Li Jiangnan led the way and walked into the stone chamber with a few people. The advanced place was the front hall. There was a rusted weapon rack on the left, and a sword placed on the weapon rack. It was estimated that this front hall should be a security check area with soldiers standing guard.
From this front hall to the right and passing through an arch, Li Jiangnan and his men almost stopped at the same time before they even walked in a few steps.
Shui Guixiang and others even showed shocked eyes.
In front of them were gold mountains piled up like hills. Each of them was more than one person tall. Like a small pyramid, they were all piled up by round gold coins.
Although time has passed so long, under the illumination of the mine light, Li Jiangnan and others could still feel the shining golden light reflected by the golden mountain.
In addition to those mountains of gold, there are piles of jewelry, agate, jade, and ancient cultural relics that cannot be named after Li Jiangnan.
For example, the quaint incense burner half a man high, for example, if it is a gilt tiger talisman used by generals, or even a diamond-inlaid crown used by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty or the prince, it is quietly placed on the stone platform, luxurious but not without simplicity, as if it is a symbol of eternal power.
Seeing these countless gold, silver and treasures, Shui Guixiang and others were stunned for a while, and finally someone laughed, haha, and finally couldn't help laughing.
