Xu Da walked back to the two of them and shone the flashlight around them, as well as the stone wall above their heads, for them to see. Li Rui observed with the help of the light and saw that the stairs they came from were relatively narrow, less than one meter wide, only enough for one person to pass through at a time. The walls on both sides were uneven, as if they were naturally formed. After taking a total of four steps down to the cave, they estimated that they were about 1.78 meters below the ground. After entering the cave, they suddenly opened up. The cave was more than four meters wide, but they couldn't see how deep it was. It was less than two meters high, giving people a sense of oppression. The ground was bumpy, but the stone walls on both sides were relatively flat, showing traces of artificial carving. Above their heads were solid mountain rocks.
As a whole, the entrance of this underground cave seemed to be formed naturally. Even the first half of the underground cave was a natural stone cave. Later on, it was dug deep inside and finally formed such a huge half-natural, half-artificial dark room. The entire dark room was located under the right half of the temple, but if one didn't go down into the cave, no one would know that there was such a scene underground.
After seeing it, Gao Zixuan murmured, "Treasure, that guy really went all out to hide the treasure. He actually dug such a big basement under the temple." Xu Da laughed, "You should change your words. He didn't dig a basement under the temple, but dug this basement first, and then built a temple on top of it. Otherwise, there's no way to explain the entrance of the cave that was previously blocked by the temple wall." Gao Zixuan exclaimed, "A temple behind the temple? Then why did he build this temple? To hide the treasure? Then how many treasures did he hide here? Is it worth spending so much manpower and resources to find them? " Xu Da shook his head, "It's not as simple as hiding the treasure, and there aren't many treasures." Gao Zixuan was surprised, "Ah?" Xu Da laughed, "You two will know when you come in. It's very strange, very magical!" As he spoke, he turned around and led the way into the depths of the cave.
The cave wasn't too deep, only about the depth of a room, about five or six meters. After a few steps, they reached the innermost part of the cave. Under the illumination of Xu Da's flashlight, the scene inside appeared in front of Li Rui and Gao Zixuan.
At the end of the stone room was a stone platform that was about a meter tall. The stone platform ran through the left and right sides of the stone room and was about a meter deep. The deepest part was the stone wall at the bottom of the cave. At this time, on the left side of the stone platform, there was a pile of gold bars, gold ingots, and silver ingots, as well as a lot of colorful jewelry.
Li Rui had seen piles of treasures in his old home before, so when he saw the huge pile of treasures, he was not moved at all. His eyes were quickly attracted by the things piled up on the right side of the stone platform. There was a pile of swords and spears. Although the tips of the spears were no longer sharp and the blades were no longer shiny, the shapes of the swords and spears could still be easily distinguished. On the walls on both sides of the stone platform, there were more than ten quaint bows and a few bags of arrows.
Seeing this scene, Li Rui was a little uneasy. He felt that he had mistakenly entered an ancient armory. He asked himself in his heart, "Did I time travel?"
In the graveyard, a red light flashed in his eyes and something appeared. He looked over and found that there was a pile of weeds in the upper left corner of the stone platform. In the pile of weeds, there were four or five little foxes with gray and yellow fur. They opened their red eyes and looked over curiously. Their eyes were big and round, and under the illumination of the flashlight, they emitted a deep and bright red light like rubies, which was very eye-catching. Beside these little foxes, there was a big fox the size of a puppy lying on its stomach. This fox was very nervous. Its four limbs were on the ground, and its body was slightly bent. It stared at the three of them like a tiger watching its prey, as if it would pounce on them at any time. It made a strange sound in its throat.
Gao Zixuan also saw them at the same time and cried out in surprise and joy, "Ah, there are really foxes here. What cute little foxes. Wow, I love them so much … Hey, baby, don't be nervous. We are only going for the treasure, not you. "
Li Rui looked at Xu Da and said with a bitter smile, "We found the treasure as we wished, but what about those knives, spears, bows and arrows?" Xu Da said, "I just said that it was strange. It seems like we have entered a bandit's lair. It seems that only a bandit's lair has gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as knives, spears, bows and arrows." Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Could it be that in ancient times, there was a group of bandits in this mountain temple? And this cave is where they hid the treasures and weapons they plundered? " Xu Da also thought for a while and shook his head, "It shouldn't be. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain the treasure dug out from under your family's old house. Since the bandits had such a big treasure house in the mountains, why would they bury part of the treasure in the village? Why would they leave a treasure map in the jar? Who would they leave it for? "
These words were very reasonable. Li Rui nodded repeatedly, but he was even more confused. At this moment, he only wanted to know the true identity of the person who hid the treasure, and did not care about the pile of gold, silver, and jewelry on the stone table.
At this time, Gao Zixuan could no longer suppress her love for the little foxes. She took a few steps forward and came to the stone table, looking at the little foxes closely. The little foxes seemed to have never seen anyone before and were not afraid of her. Each one of them was acting cute. Some were chirping, some were looking at her curiously with their heads tilted, and some were shrinking back shyly. The big fox was still staring at her vigilantly, but it seemed to have seen that she had no evil intentions and did not run away. Of course, maybe it was because it loved its children.
Gao Zixuan smiled at the big fox and said, "I know you love the babies and are afraid that I will hurt them. But don't worry, I will not harm your family."
The big fox seemed to understand her words. It suddenly lowered its head and stuck out its tongue to lick the nearest little fox.
Gao Zixuan was very fond of it and said, "This nest of red-eyed foxes is so cute. I really want to take a few of them home and raise them." Li Rui said, "Forget it. The place where the foxes live is smelly and smelly. If you raise foxes, do you still want people to live in your house?" Gao Zixuan was stunned and said, "That's true. How could I forget this? But there is no smell here … "
Li Rui walked to her side and looked at the gold, silver, and jewelry on the table. The first thing he saw were the yellow gold bars, which were stacked together. There were at least fifty to sixty of them. There were also copper gold ingots, which did not look good and were probably not pure gold. There were about thirty to forty of them. Of course, there were also shining silver ingots, which were the most numerous, nearly a hundred of them. As for the pile of jewelry, there were gold hairpins, pearl necklaces, sapphire rings and so on. There was a large pile of them. There was a mixture of good and bad, and many of them were already rotten. This pile of gold, silver, and jewelry was either gold or white. Some were colorful and dazzling. It gave people the feeling that they had fallen into a treasure trove.
Li Rui casually picked up a gold ingot. It was heavy in his hand. He looked at it carefully. The ingot was about six centimeters long and could be considered a small ingot. After being stored underground for so many years, there was no dazzling light on the surface and it looked like it was made of copper. The texture was fine and it could be seen that the craftsmanship was very good. The front was in the shape of a boat and there were symmetrical engravings on the inside. It was hard to tell whether it was a word or a picture, but it gave people a feeling of auspiciousness. Looking at the bottom, there were three rows of words of different sizes engraved on it. The four words in the middle were the largest and were "Great Ming Yuan Dynasty". The two words on the left were "Ten Liang" and the four words on the right were "Gengchen Era".
After looking at it, Li Rui thought to himself, "Great Ming ingots. Could it be that these treasures were hidden in this cave during the Ming Dynasty?" He thought about it again and realized that he had made a mistake. When he saw the ingots engraved with the word "Great Ming", he thought that they were hidden in the Ming Dynasty. In reality, these ingots could be passed down from generation to generation. It was possible that they were hidden in the Qing Dynasty or even during the Republic of China. It was all possible. If he wanted to know the exact era when these ingots were hidden, he could only find something that could verify the era.
"Wow, so many treasures!!"
Gao Zixuan suddenly exclaimed. He opened his mouth and looked as if he had just seen five million yuan in the air. It was as if he had just seen the gold, silver, and jewelry on the stone table.
Li Rui smiled and said, "Compared to the treasures in the pottery jar that was unearthed in our old house, this is a lot more. Compared to the real treasure trove, it's not a lot. However, hehe, this might be the biggest treasure trove we've seen in our lives. We didn't come here in vain, haha. "
Xu Da suddenly asked, "I don't think you brought a bag with you, right?" Li Rui's smile froze on his face. He was stunned for a moment before he bitterly smiled and said, "I thought of everything, but I didn't think that we would really find treasures. That's why I didn't bring a bag. Oh no, how are we going to take all these treasures away?" Xu Da smiled and pointed at the jacket he was wearing. Li Rui lowered his head and looked at the thin jacket he was wearing. He quickly understood and smiled, "Yes, you can wrap them up with clothes." Xu Da handed the pocket flashlight to Gao Zixuan and took off his jacket. He spread it in the middle of the stone table and said, "Hurry up and pack them up. Don't wait for more people to come." He grabbed a pile of gold bars and put them on the table.
Li Rui also hurried to help. He didn't forget to tell Gao Zixuan, "Look around the stone table to see if there are any books, stone tablets, or writing objects." Gao Zixuan asked curiously, "Why are you looking for those things?" Li Rui said, "I want to know the identity of the person who hid the treasures. I also want to know what this cave that was hidden by the temple is for. How can there be treasures and weapons?" Gao Zixuan stupidly said, "Oh." He opened his beautiful eyes wide and looked around.
On the stone table, the small mountain of gold, silver, and jewels slowly shrank. Li Rui's and Xu Da's bags slowly expanded. When there was only one silver ingot left on the stone table, the bags were already full. They couldn't fit another piece of clothing.
