Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 568 Treasure Stealing

When Chu Xiangqian came to Kerala this time, he naturally had to put on some makeup and dress in a very Indian style.

Moreover, there is a small state in the north of Tianzhu. Most of the people there have East Asian looks. My ancestors heard that there were Han people who established a country here.

Therefore, Chu Xiangqian doesn't have to worry too much about his appearance, as others will deliberately make things difficult for him.

Paint your face a little darker, and it looks like it really smells like curry.

With Titmouse guiding the way, Chu Qianqian rode his bicycle and arrived near the target temple in no time.

However, it was still daytime, and he could not enter the temple as easily as a stingray. He could only follow the example of some worshipers and sit in the open space outside the temple.

But Chu Xiangqian forgot that even though he put on makeup and wore very ordinary clothes, his aura was still a little out of tune with the people around him.

Not long after, he was noticed by a monk in the temple.

When Chu Xiangqian saw five or six people wearing yellow robes, white trousers, and turbans on their heads coming out of the temple and looking at him, Chu Xiangqian instantly understood that he didn't know why he was being stared at. On.

I sighed inwardly. Fortunately, the stingray entered the treasure house first, and then dug out a tunnel that could allow adults to pass through.

Otherwise, just stealing the cave is enough to let people know that someone is coming to steal the treasure.

Chu Xiangqian originally wanted to stay, pretending that he was coming to the temple to worship like the people around him, but then he thought, since he was being targeted by these people who were obviously attendants, he would definitely have to contact them after staying. , maybe it will be more troublesome.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian stood up without hesitation, quickened his pace, and left the crowd in a few seconds.

Walking towards the downtown area not far away.

Seeing this, several attendants quickly chased after him.

But not long after walking, Chu Qianqian was lost in the crowd.

With Chu Qianqian's skill and the tits acting as surveillance in the sky, it's really not easy to avoid these people.

After dozens of attendants went back to report, the monk did not punish these people.

And when he heard that Chu Xiangqian left on his own, the monk didn't care.

At night, Chu Xiangqian hid on the roof of a vacant three-story building near the temple. Not long after, the stingray climbed up along the wall.

Chu reached forward to take the little thing, and saw that the pair of front claws of the stingray were quite worn again. He took the stingray into the novice village and fed him two blood bottles.

A pair of claws recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seven or eight seconds later, the yellow marten, which had fully recovered, climbed onto Chu Qianqian's shoulder and rubbed its little head against Chu Qianqian's cheek affectionately.

One look at it and you can tell that this little thing is in a very good mood right now.

Chu Qianqian laughed and took out some chicken hearts and livers from his storage compartment. The stingray jumped directly into his hand, held a chicken heart in his paws and stuffed it into his mouth.

After eating, the little thing chirped a few times. Chu nodded forward and took the stingray back to the real world.

Then follow it and climb down the hidden building, slowly approaching the temple.

This temple occupies quite a large area and is divided into temple, main hall, auxiliary hall, and two huge circular verandas inside and outside.

There are also 3-meter stone buildings surrounding the temple, which are not only usable rooms, but also courtyard walls, dividing the inside and outside.

The six treasure houses are under the Lord's Highness, four on the left and two on the right.

According to official records, the last time the six treasures were opened was more than a hundred years ago, but in fact, treasure house No. 6 has been opened several times in recent years.

Moreover, 6 of the 4 treasure houses are actually empty, so what is beneficial to Chu Xiangqian is that the family responsible for managing the temple does not care about the management of the temple.

The reason is that the two treasure houses on the right, not to mention the largest one, have never been opened even in later generations.

The fifth treasure house has actually been opened a long time ago, but there is a secret passage behind this treasure house. After entering, it is the secret room where the treasure is actually hidden.

Therefore, the family that manages this temple actually always thought that the fifth treasure house had been empty a long time ago.

If stingers hadn't been able to dig through even rocks, and they were digging holes from top to bottom, it wouldn't have been that easy to find this secret room.

Chu Qianqian followed Huang Mao, climbing over several courtyard walls and buildings, and soon entered the temple and came to the verandah of the main hall.

Wing Mao pointed to a carved hollow ditch for drainage under the verandah. Chu leaned forward and took a look, and immediately recognized that this was where Wing Mao dug into the treasure house.

After crawling into the ditch, he saw a cave that only stingrays could enter and exit. Chu Xiangqian felt happy and took out a hunting knife from his storage compartment.

Gently pry the floor tiles around the hole.

The stingray has actually dug a hole under the floor tiles that can accommodate an adult to crawl into.

But Chu Xiangqian knew that the follow-up had to be kept secret, so naturally he would not let the stingray dig through the floor tiles.

It took some time to pry open a few floor tiles, put my hand on the floor tiles and silently said "collect" in my mind, and the floor tiles were instantly put into the portable storage compartment.

Chu Qianqian's face was filled with joy. According to this method, it only took ten minutes to collect all the floor tiles.

After collecting hundreds of dollars, a hole slowly appeared under the ground.

Chu Qianqian smiled. After he came out, he restored the floor tiles and applied adhesive. Not only could the half-meter-deep floor tiles be restored to their original appearance.

The mouse holes originally dug by stingers can also be sealed by disturbing the position of the floor tiles.

After a few days, the adhesive dries completely, which not only makes it waterproof but also prevents rainwater from entering the treasure house.

And as long as you are careful, there is basically no sign that it has been touched.

Chu Xiangqian took out a few candles and matches from the warehouse and gave them to the stingray, and then directed it to enter the treasure house first with the candles and matches in its mouth.

After going back and forth twice and lighting four candles, Chu Xiangqian saw the candles burning steadily through the sight of the stingray, and felt relieved.

As for poisonous snakes, the secret room has been sealed for who knows how many years. There is neither water nor food such as rats in it. It is impossible for snakes to guard the treasure house all the time.

What we need to worry about are things like agencies.

Fortunately, in addition to digging holes these days, Chu Xiangqian had already seen the treasure house through the sight of the stingray countless times.

After making sure that there was no problem with the air inside, Chu Xiangqian crawled into the hole with his head facing downwards. He also did not forget to take out a one-meter-long wooden board from the Novice Village warehouse and cover it with the hole.

Lest the faint golden light coming out of it attract the attention of the temple guards.

After sliding for three or four meters, when I saw the entrance of the cave, I held my hands on the cave wall and my body slid down quickly.

Then he exposed his upper body, and when he was free-falling, he turned around and landed easily on a pile of gravel and soil.

These gravels and soil were naturally what was left when the stingray dug holes. Chu looked forward and around.

Although I knew what was inside through the stingray, my heart still couldn't help but beat loudly when I was there.

The most eye-catching thing is a pure gold statue of about 3.5 feet, which is 1.066 meters long. On the wall behind the statue, there is also a curtain made of pure gold wires and gold threads.

And both the statues and the curtains are inlaid with hundreds of sparkling rubies, sapphires, agates and diamonds.

Even the curtains are covered with gems. Under the light of candles, it makes people feel a little dazzled. However, Chu Xiangqian was not in a hurry to hold the statue.

This statue is very heavy at first glance, and it is placed on a high stone platform in case there is a heavy device.

Holding the idol may activate the mechanism.

Of course, judging from the news from the past life, there is a high probability that there will be nothing boring here, but Chu Xiangqian is worried that it is not the same world anymore, and maybe there will be different places.

Then he looked at the gold thrones everywhere in the treasure house, as well as piles and piles of sparkling gold coins, gold bottles, gold swords, gold plates, and small gold pagodas.

Hundreds of treasure chests filled with bracelets, necklaces, and tiaras set with rubies, sapphires, and diamonds.

There were even a dozen silk bags containing rubies and sapphires of different sizes, as well as colored diamonds, white diamonds, and emeralds.

After a few laps, Chu Xiangqian's eyes were almost blurred.

I grabbed a handful of gold coins and quickly recognized them as gold coins from the Roman Empire.

Beside it is a large number of European Napoleonic gold coins from the 18th century.

From these gold coins, Chu Xiangqian could roughly estimate that this secret room had been opened many times in the past.

After all, ancient Tianzhu gold coins, Roman Empire gold coins, and Napoleon gold coins are all separated by hundreds of years.

Moreover, various styles of gold thrones, pure gold tables and chairs, and gold jewelry also show that this treasure house can contain such a huge amount of gold jewelry. It was collected bit by bit by the temple over hundreds of thousands of years.

Chu Qianqian stopped talking and squatted down to place his hands on a pile of gold coins, silently collecting them in his mind.

In an instant, this pile of gold coins, half a person's height, entered the Novice Village warehouse.

Before Chu Xiangqian could react, the sound of +17.2 gold coupons came from his head.

Chu Qianqian's mind was instantly focused on the Novice Village, and his body subconsciously entered the Novice Village.

It's just that the aperture, which was supposed to expand to 1720 meters, stopped after rapidly expanding to 1403 meters.

Chu Xiangqian also saw clearly for the first time. The novice map was a circle with a radius of 2 kilometers.

Just as Chu Xiangqian was cursing in his mind that the map was too small, a large cave entrance actually appeared in the hills to the west of the map.

Chu Xiangqian subconsciously thought that this must be a new map.

I was so happy that I wanted to ride the red rabbit and run over to have a look. But after I took a few steps, I suddenly thought that I only had one life.

It's better to play it safe.

With a thought in mind, I left the Novice Village, came to the treasure house, and collected everything into the Novice Village.

Sure enough, the gold coupons kept increasing, but the aperture in Xinshou Village still stayed within 2 kilometers.

But Chu Xiangqian was already a little too excited and his breathing became heavy.

It can be seen from the increase of 257.2 million gold coupons that the value of these thrones is impossible to estimate.

The quantity is simply too large.

Just 23 Napoleon gold coins and 14 Roman Empire gold coins alone, I don’t know how much they are worth.

And because the quantity is too large, it will make it difficult for Chu Xiangqian to take out large quantities in the future.

Otherwise, the value will suddenly plummet ten times or a hundred times.

However, the 280 17th-century Venetian gold coins and the 2600 ancient Tianzhu gold coins will definitely be treasures enthusiastically pursued by coin collectors regardless of the era.

As for the specific price, although Chu Xiangqian didn't know, he still remembered the news he had read in his previous life, saying that a Venetian gold coin identical to his own had been sold for US$38.

Even if it is only 61 years old, the price cannot be that high. Even in the future, the auction price may not be the accurate price.

But decades later, these 280 coins would be valued at over million US dollars, which still made Chu Xiangqian extremely happy.

Of course, in terms of true value, these 280 gold coins are naturally at the level of little brothers compared to the 23 Napoleon gold coins and the 14 Roman Empire gold coins.

As for the 2600 ancient Tianzhu gold coins, Chu Xiangqian really didn't know how to value them, or even what dynasty or where they came from.

You can only wait until you return to Hong Kong Island, or go to England, take out one or sketch it with a pencil, and then ask someone.

After collecting all the gold coins, Chu Xiangqian's eyes naturally focused on the various gold products on the ground.

1730 golden bottles, plates, golden towers, scepters, and golden coconuts.

12 silk bags containing red sapphires of different sizes, colored diamonds, and white diamonds.

There are hundreds of treasure chests filled with bracelets, necklaces, tiaras, rings, brooches and other jewelry set with rubies, sapphires and diamonds.

Now Chu Xiangqian really felt that from now on, unless it was a particularly good jewelry or diamond, ordinary jewelry in front of him would be no different from glass beads.

And you no longer have to worry about what gifts to give your wives.

Then Chu Qianqian's eyes focused on those golden thrones and chairs.

At one count, there were 340 pure gold seats inlaid with dozens or hundreds of jewels and diamonds, and 18 pure gold thrones. Chu Xiangqian instantly felt that there should be more than ten tons of gold alone.

Then there were 120 pure gold chains, each weighing an average of 30 kilograms and 3 meters long, and hundreds of gold nuggets of different shapes, weighing to kilograms each.

Moreover, 26 gold knives with pure gold scabbards and handles, and 12 gold spears were also found in these piles of gold coins and gold products.

Hundreds of pieces of clothing with gold threads and various jewelry used to worship the gods.

These things are really difficult to value, but Chu Xiangqian believes that in the future, rich people in Tianzhu will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to buy them back from the auction house.

In the future, Chu Xiangqian will only need to take out one or two items from time to time to earn hundreds or tens of millions of dollars.

After the treasure house was emptied, all that remained was the 3.5-foot, 1.066-meter-long pure gold statue and the curtain covered with various gemstones.

Chu Qianqian did not rush to take it away, but installed a wooden ladder next to the robbery hole. Once it was clear, he could step on the ladder and climb up to a height of three or four meters in a few clicks and climb out of the robbery hole.

After getting ready, I took away the statue and the curtain. Fortunately, after waiting silently for a while, everything around me was normal.

Chu Qianqian felt relieved and was about to leave when suddenly the stingray chirped several times.

When Chu looked forward, he saw that the yellow marten had run to the stone platform under the statue, pointed at the stone platform and called several times.

Although Chu Xiangqian didn't understand what Huang Mao really meant, he also knew that there must be something wrong with the stone platform.

I walked over and touched it. Suddenly my heart moved. I took out my hunting knife and slashed it on the stone platform.

Then he took a breath of cold air.
