Chapter 535 Treasure Hunt 2
The drill has begun here. Zhao Yuan joined Wugang and others and had quietly arrived at the Jinyiwei to the foot of the Guilai Peak. There is still enough distance from the two hills in the drill. Moreover, he also drew the line during the drill. If he crossed the drill area, he would be directly sentenced to be eliminated. Of course, the explanation for those disciples is to ensure their safety, but in fact, he does not want anyone to enter this area!
"Sect Master, we found that this area should be more suitable as a village in the past!"
Wugang pointed to the area in front of him and said!
The area in front of me is close to the lake, and the terrain is relatively flat, and there is no one in it. However, it has been a hundred years since no one has lived here. At least on the surface, there are no traces of people living there. After all, these are basically made of wood. After all, no one has rushed in. It is also close to the lake. The water vapor in the air is heavy, and the rotting of wood is relatively serious. It will take no time to turn into a ruin.
Therefore, in terms of the area in front of you, there is no trace of anyone living.
However, Zhao Yuan believed that as long as someone lived, there would be traces. The honors of the houses and wood were rotten, but some other things would not be. For example, the sound of porcelain such as bowls and dishes were all destroyed in the village. Even if someone came in to look for gold, silver and jewelry, they would not take away the commonly used porcelain. After the house collapsed, these dishes would naturally be buried in the ruins. When the woods rotted at any time, they would not.
Zhao Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Look for it!"
More than fifty people immediately picked up hoes, shovels, etc. and started digging the soil. Their purpose was to determine whether there were traces of people living in the past. It was not archaeology, so they just dug in a mess.
In addition, these fifty people are also divided into a relatively small way, so that they can be more likely to discover the things hidden below.
As time passed slowly, Zhao Yuan was also constantly walking between these fifty pits, and then there was no trace of life as imagined below these grounds. Each pit was dug at least about three feet deep and three feet square. Except for the weeds on the surface, the color of the soil layer below was basically the same, and they were all relatively solid soil layer.
"Sir, it seems that this is not here!"
Wugang touched the sweat on his forehead. He was not as good as Zhao Yuan. He followed Zhao Yuan to see that pit from this pit. Even in the cave, there was a lot of sweat on his forehead now.
Zhao Yuan also saw it and said, "Yes, I didn't see anything after digging so deep. No one should have lived here, but besides this, is there any other place?"
Wugang looked around and said, "In terms of geographical environment, this is the most suitable place, but other places are not ruled out. It is better for people to look around and maybe other discoveries can be made!"
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "That makes the brothers want to rest, and then each three people have a group, spread out everywhere and check it everywhere. Although it is very likely here, it does not mean it is here. The painting is the Return Peak, but it is not said that it must be hidden in the Return Peak. Maybe other places are also very likely!"
Wugang nodded and immediately ordered a rest. After half an hour, people took the order and began to disperse everywhere. Wugang accompanied Zhao Yuanchao behind the Return Peak. Behind this was the temporary camp of more than 50 people. It was a mountain separated from the Iron Blood Sect disciples who were practicing. The place was also relatively hidden, and even a fire was not a problem.
"Sect Master, what did you say is that the treasure is really hidden in this Feilai Peak?"
Wugang was still a little confused. Since it was hidden by Zhu Yun's sending people, the number of this treasure must be very large. If this treasure can be found, it would be a great achievement, and even if one of them is taken away, it would be priceless.
Zhao Yuan said: "There is no real record of whether there is a treasure. Whether it is Zuiyu Pavilion or rumors, it is a legend now. Whether it is true or not, you must find it to know whether it is true. Everything is not sure before it is found. This is why I asked you not to report this purpose for the time being. It is not that I want to take this treasure alone. For us, even if the treasure here is found, it is a disaster, not a blessing!"
Since Zhu Yun planned to use this treasure as his future restoration, it must be an astronomical figure. If the Iron Blood Sect finds this treasure, they can get rich overnight. However, the treasure was transported out of the palace, and once it is known, the Iron Blood Sect will be doomed.
So whether it is the Bai family or the Zuo family, their ideas are too naive. If these treasures were treasures from the previous dynasty or a previous dynasty, they might have the chance to hide some of them themselves, but these treasures are things from this dynasty. It is like a thief stole a lot of things from the home of a rich man and hid them. After more than a hundred years, they were discovered and found. Perhaps ordinary landlords cannot pursue them. The key is that this landlord is really outrageous. The entire Ming Dynasty was his yard, and the son of this landlord family is the current emperor!
In addition, the imperial court has been fighting against the Japanese pirates in coastal areas over the years, and it consumed a lot. If these treasures were not discovered, it would not matter. Once discovered, they would definitely be taken back to the treasury after being discovered.
Therefore, the treasure that seems to be rich and can match a country is actually a sword, and whoever is greedy will die.
Wugang sighed: "It's still the sect leader who can see it thoroughly!"
Zhao Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not okay to not see through this. I am in the world, but I am a Jinyiwei. Although I don't accompany you, as long as I am an official in the court, I will accompany you as a tiger. What's more, there are so many people around me, in addition to my own family, you, and those disciples under my disciples, who are not careful, will not die alone, and will involve many people. Therefore, these steps are like walking on thin ice! This time, we heard that even if the court knows, we will not have any serious crimes. But if we find it, for the current court, it is not a timely help, at least it can add icing on the cake!"
The more relatives he had around him, the more Zhao Yuan felt that he was a little scared all day long, walking on thin ice, afraid that if an accidental accident would lead to the destruction of his family. He was not a great minister now, but he still felt that he was in a cold place.
In this era when even an official cannot end well, the more trust you get, the more dangerous you get, because you don’t know when the emperor will distrust you. From a high-ranking minister to a prisoner, it will almost be just a moment of effort.
Wugang nodded and said, "That's true. Although my subordinates were not in the capital before, I knew a lot of such things. Many people wanted to get in after sharpening their heads. They used various means, but there were not many people who ended up having a good ending! The people envied this official, and they knew how good it was to be an official sometimes. The most imprisoned in the Jinyiwei prison were those high-ranking officials. They were so powerful that they were not like a dead dog when they entered."
Zhao Yuan said: "Yes!"
Looking at the endless blue wave in front of him, he said, "You said that Zhu Yun had hidden so many treasures at the beginning and planned to make a comeback one day. If he was still alive, perhaps he would later discover that the imperial edict was just a dream in the end. Wouldn't the game life be happier?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Yuan was somewhat moved, and he accelerated his pace slightly, and soon arrived at the camp. This place was chosen under a cliff. Behind it was a straight steep cliff, dozens of feet high, as if it was cut by a knife. On the other hand, facing Taihu Lake, it was already after noon, and Taihu Lake was sparkling under the sun, and sails were dotted on the lake.
"Good, a good place!"
Zhao Yuan nodded, and suddenly the Feixian Valley sounded, and the place where Zhuge Tian was buried was also like this. When he felt like he was moved, he suddenly felt nostalgic and said, "You are waiting for them here, I'll go up and take a look!"
Wugang looked up and said in surprise: "How can the sect leader get up so steep?"
Zhao Yuan said: "It looks steep. In fact, there is still a place to settle down on this stone wall. For example, at the half-slope, have you noticed that there is a piece of grass and a tree? Since it can grow grass and trees, it means that there are some locations and you should be able to settle down!"
As he said that, he immediately rose several feet high and rushed directly to the stone wall.
When approaching the stone wall, Zhao Yuan grabbed a protruding place with his hand, took a deep breath, and exerted force, his whole body immediately rose two feet high again, and he stepped on the stone wall, and grabbed the stone and breathed again.
After a few strokes, Zhao Yuan was already a dozen high above the ground and landed steadily at the location of the tree.
Wugang, who was watching below, was so scared that he didn't dare to go out. In such a steep place, even apes and monkeys dared not climb. During Zhao Yuan's ups and downs, people were already more than ten feet high from the ground, and there seemed to be no place to settle on the cliff. It was not until Zhao Yuan landed on the platform that he breathed a sigh of relief.
After Zhao Yuan landed, he realized that the protruding platform in front of him was actually only recessed into the cliff less than half a meter wide, and was only half a meter long. Due to his age, this small platform was full of dead branches and leaves and small gravels rolling down from above. The whole place was sloped and soft when stepped on it. The tree in front of him was probably growing a little old. The trees were not very big, but they took root on it tenaciously and watched the rain live tenaciously.
Zhao Yuan took a short breath and looked up. The position he occupied was at least ten feet away from above. When he was really planning to breathe up, suddenly, a mouse suddenly came out of the place close to the cliff, and then quickly escaped along the steep mountain wall.
"mouse?"
Zhao Yuan was a little surprised. You should know that the composition of this cliff is mainly composed of stones. This mouse obviously came out of the grass close to the cliff. Could it be that this mouse is so powerful that it can actually make holes in the stones?
Curious, Zhao Yuan reached out and grabbed the dead grass and pulled it out slightly. The dead grass was pulled up immediately, and then the stone below was exposed, as if he did not see the mouse hole!
Zhao Yuan was a little unwilling to accept it and slapped it with a palm. As soon as the strong wind arrived, an inch of land suddenly flew. After the dust dissipated, some stones suddenly appeared. However, these stones were obviously different from other stones on the mountain wall. These stones were obviously built up. You must know that the cave where Zhuge Tian’s tomb was also built up in order to seal the cave.
"There is a cave here?"
Zhao Yuan felt moved, and after thinking about it, he did not go in rashly, but gently floated down the cliff. As soon as he landed, Wugang said, "Sect Master, is there anything above?"
Zhao Yuan's palm was floating just now, and he could see it clearly below.
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "There is a cave in the tree. The entrance of the cave was obviously blocked by a stone. You are anxious immediately. Make a winch, climb uphill from the back, and then go down the entrance of the cave. Find a way to open the entrance to let the inside and outside ventilate, and send someone in to check it!"
Wugang quickly took the order and immediately went to summon anything, but now the Jinyiwei had been scattered until dusk, and Zhao Yuan did not gather. After setting up camp here for a night, he and his group climbed to the top of the cliff from behind the cliff, used materials to cut down trees and made winches, and put the two down!
The two of them came down to the platform with shovels. Soon after, they cleaned the weeds and the like, revealing a small platform. At this moment, the entrance of a half-person-high hole could be clearly seen on the mountain wall. However, the entrance was indeed sealed and the stone was used, so it could still look artificial.
The Jinyiwei changed two more people, and the iron shovel and the iron hammer went into battle. Soon, they cleaned up the stones blocked at the entrance of the cave, revealing a dark hole. However, according to Zhao Yuan's instructions, they did not go in rashly, but opened the cave and waited for ventilation. After all, they didn't know when the entrance of the cave was blocked. The air flow inside did not move, and it would be easy for people to die if they entered rashly.
After waiting for another night, Zhao Yuan decided to go, but Wugang stopped him and said, "Master, the cave has been around for a long time, and I don't know what is there. Please wait outside and the subordinates go first!"
Zhao Yuanzhen planned to refute, and Wugang said again: "Please give the Iron Blood Sect the priority!"
In this way, Zhao Yuan really couldn't refute again, so he could only nod and agree!
Chapter completed!
