Treasure Shenhao

Chapter 153: Chapter 153
Stepping on the soft mud, Shen Xi felt at ease.

At this depth, he also felt a lot of pressure.

But this is not the spot of light, he still needs to go to the center of the lake.

Looking at the brightness and concentration of the light spot, Shen Xi knew that the possibility of hiding the treasure was very high.

It is very likely that it was transported to the center of the lake by boat and then thrown away.

He didn't understand why such a hidden treasure.

Because of that era, it is impossible for anyone to salvage at this depth.

Isn't that the same as throwing it away?
Regarding this, Shen Xi was very puzzled.

Of course, history is a mystery, and no one really knows what happened.

The records in the history books are not very accurate.

From the end of the Shogunate to the Meiji Restoration, it was a turbulent and chaotic era.

The slope at the bottom of the lake is not that big. As Shenxi moves forward step by step, every step is deep into the silt.

He didn't dare to move too far, otherwise the water would be muddy and he wouldn't be able to see how far away.

Even now, his line of sight does not exceed two meters.

Still hazy.

That's even more scary.

The icy lake, the dark and hazy world.

Especially the silence, the silence like deep space.

Even if Shenxi Yigao is bold, he is still a human being after all, not a god.

Humans have fear.

Of course, this kind of psychology was suppressed by Shen Xi.

Try to think about why gold was hidden at the bottom of the lake back then.

In this way, distracting thinking will not amplify the sense of fear.

Human beings seem to have an instinctive fear of the abyss.

Step by step forward, cautiously, from time to time, there is only the rumble of bubbles.

Yes, at the bottom of the silent lake a few hundred meters deep, the sound of the bubbles he spouted was booming.

Maybe it's because he has good hearing, or maybe it's because it's too quiet here.

Finally, Shen Xi reached the center of the lake and stood on the spot of light.

It is not yet known how deep to dig to reach the point of light.

Another glance at the depth gauge, 450 six meters.

At the bottom of the lake with a slight slope, there is still a drop of more than [-] meters.

The bottom of the lake is shaped like a pot.

The light spot is on the bottom of the pan.

Shen Xi squatted down slowly and started digging.

Time cannot be delayed, the time for oxygen is limited.

Silt is the most difficult thing to clear, and it is still sinking while digging.

Shen Xi didn't care about it, and directly dug towards the bottom of the lake, and the submerged mud soon buried him.

It's like he got into the mud.

Seeing this, Shen Xi had an idea to dig and backfill behind him.

In this way, the pressure on the body began to decrease.

And as it continued to descend, hard soil appeared, accompanied by gravel.

Ten meters, 20 meters, 30 meters, 40 meters...

Shen Xi found that something was wrong.

Can the gold thrown from the center of the lake sink so deep?
Even after so many years of siltation, it is impossible to accumulate tens of meters of siltation, right?

Although he was puzzled, he didn't stop. He continued to dig deep and went straight to the light spot.

Finally, at a depth of almost 60 meters, solid rock has been dug.

Under his spiritual consciousness, he also found piles of neatly stacked gold in a large hole in the rock formation on the left.

The entrance of the cave was sealed by boulders.

Inside, the wooden box containing the gold has long since decayed, and the pieces of gold ingots are all very neat and huge, in the shape of long strips.

Seeing these neatly arranged gold, Shen Xi was full of doubts.

How could it be arranged so neatly?
Or in a cave in a rock formation?

At this time, he suddenly discovered that there was a rock wall not far to his right, and a square hole appeared on the rock wall.

The entrance of the cave is very flat and large, almost one person can enter and exit it upright.

It's just that the consciousness that passed through the dirt and gravel also saw that the entrance of the cave was blocked by neat stones.

Strictly speaking, he dug a few times and approached the opening of the rock wall.

This time, he understood.

This is a tunnel, a tunnel that leads directly to the bottom of the lake.

And it has been blocked to death. I am afraid that the entire tunnel has been backfilled and blocked.

As a result, Shen Xi suddenly realized.

He got it.

It turned out to be the case.

Gold is not thrown from above the lake, but transported to the bottom of the lake through this tunnel.

Then cut a big hole in the opposite rock formation and put the gold.

It seems that the exit of this tunnel must also be very secret, and it may be connected to a naturally formed lava cave.

First cut through the tunnel, drain the lake, then transport the gold in, and then seal the tunnel completely.

When the lake accumulates some water, it will be able to cover everything.

It seems that the siltation of these years is really tens of meters!
After figuring it out, Shen Xi naturally wouldn't delay, and began digging into the rock cave while collecting piles of gold.

The huge number made him unable to breathe steadily.

One hundred and fifty to sixty tons is definitely there, which is a huge sum of money.

Of course, the issue of purity goes without saying, it is incomparable with modern gold.

After collecting all the gold, he also left the cave.

It is still digging and backfilling at the same time, otherwise the upper layer of silt and gravel will collapse, which is very dangerous.

Now he is only relying on his spiritual sense, which is equivalent to a big loach.

After finding the treasure and collecting all the gold into the Lost Realm, Shen Xi is also ready to return.

But after thinking about it, driven by curiosity, he prepared to dig out along the tunnel to have a look.

Of course, it is natural to excavate and backfill at the same time, and the backfill should be firmer.

The tunnel is descending, but only to a limited extent.

There were also talents in the shogunate era!

The depth of the lake and the position of the tunnel were all measured very accurately.

After entering the tunnel for tens of meters, after backfilling and reinforcement, there was no more water. Shenxi also put away his diving equipment and took off his diving suit.

The whole person feels much more relaxed.

Wearing a diving suit always feels a sense of oppression.

Afterwards, he changed into clean clothes and shoes and felt much more comfortable.

The next step is to explore the blocked tunnel and where is the exit.

Still excavating and backfilling at the same time, the tunnel also began to change direction, and the slope increased even more, winding all the way down.

Shen Xi was tireless and became more and more curious.

He wondered how the ancients hid the entrance of the cave.

In this way, you can also accumulate some experience, and give you a broader hint and idea for future treasure hunts.

Shen Xi also felt that the tunnel did not run through the mountain directly, but meandered down within the mountain.

The twists and turns refer to the slope, not the direction of the tunnel.

The tunnel is a straight line from beginning to end.

Only the slope keeps changing.

Shen Xi didn't know how far he dug and how much time he spent.

But when he finally dug out a whole boulder, he was instantly submerged by water.

Cursing secretly, he swam out of the water and finally emerged from a river.

Seeing this, Shen Xi was also convinced.

This hidden treasure is really unique, with all the organs and talents!
The exit is actually in a small river in the valley below the mountain.

Judging from the direction, it is likely to be on the Kurohokane Town side.

In other words, it was not very far from the mountain village where Sun Xiu'e and the others lived.
