Chapter 649 The Legendary Secret Treasure
After a slight "click", the box was finally opened!
Brother Huanxi's heart was raised to his throat.
He was almost sure that there must be something particularly valuable in the box, but he had never been able to open it, and now the secret in the box was about to be presented to him.
What would it be?
Qiao Yuanfan carefully lifted the lid of the box.
A small jade utensil is also pressed underneath a piece of "paper" made of unknown material.
"This is called quail jade Ruyi. It can be used to play with it or scratch itch." Qiao Yuanfan was knowledgeable and picked up the jade Ruyi and looked at it: "It is very exquisitely made, and the material is also made of the most expensive jade. According to the current market conditions, if its historical value is not calculated, it is estimated that it can be worth hundreds of thousands or even millions."
Brother Huanxi's eyes lit up suddenly.
God, can such a jade Ruyi be sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions?
Qiao Yuanfan didn't seem to care about Yu Ruyi, so he put it aside. Then he picked up the piece of paper pressed under Yu Ruyi: "This is kraft paper, which is very different from the kraft paper we are now. It has been specially processed and can be preserved for a long time. If I'm not wrong, assuming that there is a text pattern on this piece of paper, it is also painted with specially processed ink."
Qiao Yuanfan was not wrong at all, and there were really patterns on the kraft paper.
Moreover, after so many years, not only did the kraft paper not cause much damage, but the patterns on it are basically clearly visible.
But what is it drawing? It seems to be a map? It draws mountains and water, and it looks very complicated.
What to do? Is this just an ancient map?
In addition to the map, there are some words on the kraft paper, and Qiao Yuanfan read it softly:
"Three thousand heroes died for their country. Swallows flew over, and the auspicious traces were empty."
What does it mean?
What does this mean?
Brother Huanxi was completely confused when he heard it.
But his father Qiao Yuanfan's expression became extremely serious: "Three thousand heroes, the auspicious traces are empty. Auspicious traces, auspicious traces. Is the legend true?"
"Dad, what legend is it?" Brother Huanxi was covered in confusion.
"Three Thousand Monks and Soldiers. Ruiji Temple." Qiao Yuanfan slowly told Brother Huanxi a legendary story.
After the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, King Zhu Di of Yan raised an army to rebel, which is known in history as the "Jingnan Campaign".
At the beginning of 1402, he had entered the late stage of the Jingnan Campaign. Emperor Jianwen was appointed as the commander of Zhenhaiwei Zheng Xi Shangfang's sword, and led 3,000 imperial guards to escort the national treasury gold, silver and treasures. He first came to Ruiji Temple in Jinhan Township, Ningde County, Fujian Province, as well as the surrounding Anren Temple, Sanfeng Temple, and Jinbi Temple.
All the 3,000 imperial guards shaved their hair and became monk soldiers, and the commander Zheng Xi himself became the head of Ruiji Temple.
Zhu Di captured Nanjing and found that the national treasury was empty, so he sent Jinyiwei to investigate the whereabouts of the huge amount of gold, silver and treasures of the treasury.
It was not until early 1406, the fourth year of Yongle that the Jinyiwei discovered that Emperor Jianwen transported the national treasury gold and silver to Fu~Jianning~Deruiji Temple and Anren Temple.
Zhu Di immediately ordered Zhu Wu, the son of the general Zhu Neng, to lead 10,000 troops to Ningde, surrounded Ruiji Temple and Anren Temple, and the two sides immediately launched a bloody battle. After a day and night of fierce fighting, all 3,000 monk soldiers from Ruiji Temple and Anren Temple were killed and more than 2,000 people were killed or injured in the Yan army.
Because there were too many corpses in Ruiji Temple, they could not be buried. The Yan generals in charge of cleaning the site had to push all the corpses into the ravine in front of Ruiji Temple, then shovel down the turf and soil on both sides of the hillsides, buried them deep, and killed all the monks in Ruiji Temple and Anren Temple, and razed the temple to the ground.
Ruiji Temple killed too many people because of this, and was too resentful. Later, when the temple was rebuilt, the presidency specially sank nine large jars into the release pond in the temple, and recited scriptures every day to save the unjust souls killed by the Yan army.
The Yan soldiers dug three feet into Ruiji Temple and the surrounding area, but they could not find the treasures. It turned out that General Zheng Xi had received a letter from Fei Ge two days ago. Knowing that Yan soldiers were about to arrive, he sent his confidant general to transport all the treasures to the depths of Nanshan to hide them.
"Later, Zhu Di and the subsequent emperors of the Ming Dynasty sent troops to search for the depths of Nanshan Mountain. But they never found this batch of treasures. Gradually, they no longer believed that Zheng Xi had hidden the treasures in Nanshan Mountain, but moved them to another place." Qiao Yuanfan sighed and said.
Brother Huanxi's eyes lit up completely.
The treasure of Emperor Jianwen? The treasure of the Ming Dynasty?
God, my God, if this treasure really exists, it will be an astronomical number!
Is this kraft paper a treasure map?
If it is really, that's amazing!
When Brother Huanxi asked this question, Qiao Yuanfan said lightly: "Is it important to have treasure maps? Three thousand heroes sacrificed their lives for their country; swallows flew in, and the auspicious traces were empty. Swallows were talking about the King of Yan Zhu Di at that time. This proves that the legend of Zhu Di's bloody washing of Ruizhi and Anren Temples is true. This piece of paper is inestimable for historical research."
Dad, dad, dad, the treasure map is not important? Then what do you say is important!
Three Thousand Monks? Well, that's amazing. I admire them too, but these heroes have been dead for many years. If they can open the treasure and see the light of day again, will they respect the martyrs who swear to guard the treasure to the death?
"Happy, I can be sure this is a treasure map." Qiao Yuanfan put the kraft paper in front of his son: "Save it well, it belongs to you, but have you really decided to find this batch of treasures?"
Brother Huanxi was stunned, what does it mean?
Do you even know that there is a treasure and don’t look for it?
"Happy." Qiao Yuanfan sighed again: "This is the legendary Jianwen treasure. For more than 600 years, the legend of Jianwen treasure has troubled countless people, but it has always fallen asleep somewhere. Maybe they don't want to be discovered by the world. Even if you really have the chance to find them, think about what kind of uproar will this batch of treasures be caused when this batch of treasures is released? Also, from a legal point of view, the treasure belongs to the country and you can't swallow it privately."
Yes, this is a problem.
Brother Huanxi is thinking about another aspect.
The treasures left over from history do belong to the country. Even if anyone discovers them, they must be handed over. At most, the country will only give you some rewards!
This question needs to be carefully considered by myself.
Of course, it is too hasty to discover the treasure now, so you have to prepare well, right?
This treasure map also needs to be carefully studied. The patterns are too complicated. My father must know how to find it, but he has no interest in treasure hunting at all, depending on his appearance.
Forget it, let’s find a way for yourself, you have a dragon as your assistant.
Of course, the time for treasure hunting must be calculated carefully.
