Chapter 285 The 24 Seals of the Ming Dynasty
5 minute later.

Tang Yuan held an octagonal hammer in his hand and looked at the huge stone tablet in front of him, his eyes slightly dim and unclear.

"call……"

Tang Yuan took a deep breath, and then without any further hesitation, he lowered his arms to his shoulders, held the octagonal hammer tightly in both hands, and smashed it heavily at the huge stone tablet in front of him.

"boom!"

A dull sound resounded in the huge presidential suite.

This stone tablet, which had withstood hundreds of years of wind and rain, had a slight depression in the center due to Tang Yuan's heavy pounding. At the same time, many fine cracks appeared around the depression.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Tang Yuan anchored this position, and then began to exert force continuously, causing more and more cracks around this sunken position to get bigger and bigger.

One, two, three, four...

Tang Yuan just hammered one after another. Finally, when the 18th hammer fell, the entire stone tablet collapsed and countless rubbles were scattered all over the ground.

At the same time, Tang Yuan saw something different in the rubble on the ground. They were cubes wrapped in layers of oilcloth. They were scattered in the rubble, and there were many of them.

Tang Yuan looked at these things in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but beat loudly. He walked slowly to the pile of rubble, carefully picked up the cubes wrapped in oilcloth.

"One, two, three, four..."

After Tang Yuan picked up these things, he put them all in the study. After careful inspection, he determined that there were exactly 24 cubes hidden in the stone tablet.

Ignoring the other stone tablets, Tang Yuan went to the bathroom, washed his hands first, then found a pair of white gloves, and returned to the study.

"let me see……"

"What the hell are you."

Tang Yuan looked at the cube in front of him, with a strange light shining in his eyes. Then he randomly selected one from it, and slowly and cautiously opened the layers of oilcloth wrapped on its surface.

About 10 minutes later, after Tang Yuan peeled off ten layers of oilcloth and pried open two iron boxes, he finally knew what this stone tablet had been sealed for hundreds of years.

"Fuck!"

"It's actually a jade seal!"

"This is simply outrageous!"

Under the illumination of the light, the white jade seal in Tang Yuan's hand was 8 centimeters high and 12 centimeters long and wide. It was extremely well preserved, crystal clear, the seal was exquisite, and the seal text was also very clear.

Tang Yuan has master-level calligraphy skills and has been passed down by famous calligraphers of all dynasties. He is naturally no stranger to ancient writing, so he quickly identified what the seal of this jade seal was.

The seal is clearly - the treasure of the Emperor of Heaven!
After Tang Yuan saw the seal clearly, he looked at the unopened oilcloth boxes in front of him. Even with his Qi-nourishing skills, his breathing could not help but become rapid at this moment.

In the past seven days, Tang Yuan crazily crammed in a lot of knowledge related to the Ming Dynasty, including the content related to the Jade Seal of the Ming Dynasty.

Since Li Zicheng broke through the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty in 1644, it meant that the Ming Dynasty, which had lasted for 276 years, officially withdrew from the stage of history.

After Li Zicheng captured Yanjing, he carried out a large-scale looting, and indulged his subordinates, allowing them to rape, loot, burn, kill, and loot in Yanjing City, and committed all kinds of evil.It was precisely because of Li Zicheng's atrocities that Li Zicheng quickly lost the support of the people. In just one year, the Qing army, together with Wu Sangui and the squires in Yanjing City, broke through Yanjing City and started his escape in despair.

According to historical records, before Li Zicheng invaded Yanjing City, his sleeves were clear and his pockets were empty. But when he fled, he had countless gold and silver treasures, which required 850 million mules and horses to carry them.

It can be said that all the treasures of the Ming Dynasty went into Li Zicheng's pocket.

During his escape, carrying so much gold and silver treasure naturally greatly hindered his marching speed. Therefore, during his escape, Li Zicheng buried the gold and silver treasures and Ming Dynasty treasures in his hands through various means. Folks, keep it for future restoration.

Legend has it that when Li Zicheng fled to Shanxi, he disguised some gold and silver treasures as goods and stored them in the shop of a merchant named Liu Zhonglian. Since these people were vicious and looked like military personnel, Liu Zhonglian did not want to offend them. , and did not dare to offend, so they agreed to these people.

After these people left, Liu Zhonglian's life returned to peace. Even after many years, these people had not returned. When Liu Zhonglian's warehouse was in a dilapidated state and needed to be repaired, Liu Zhonglian had to open the batch of goods. , only to realize that it was all filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

With these gold and silver jewelry, Liu Zhonglian soon became the richest man in Shanxi merchants.

However, these gold and silver jewels that made Liu Zhonglian the richest man in Shanxi were just one of the countless treasures buried and hidden by Li Zicheng along the way.

Later, Li Zicheng was defeated and fell, and these treasures became legends. The 24 seals of the Ming Dynasty, which represented the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, were also hidden in history with the death of Li Zicheng, and their whereabouts are still unknown.

"turn out to be……"

"Li Zicheng sealed the 24 seals of the Ming Dynasty in this stone tablet."

Tang Yuan's thoughts were swirling and he quickly straightened out his logic based on his memories.

It seems that according to historical records, Li Zicheng was killed by local militiamen loyal to the Ming Dynasty Cheng Jiubo in Nanjiugong Mountain, Tongshan County, Hubei Province. I don't know if the Nanshan Village recorded on this stone tablet has anything to do with Nanjiugong Mountain.

Of course, these are just Tang Yuan's guesses.

After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, the truth has long been buried in history. It is completely unrealistic to want to find out the origin of this stone tablet.

Tang Yuan looked at the jade seals in front of him and didn't think much more. Although he had roughly determined the origin of these jade seals, to be on the safe side, Tang Yuan still used the mysterious ancient ring to detect them.

[Item: Jade Seal]

[Material: white jade]

[Year: 1369]

[Grade: Heirloom Grade]

The answer given by the mysterious ancient ring completely calmed down Tang Yuan's heart.

Obviously, this jade seal is one of the 24 seals of the Ming Dynasty.

What surprised Tang Yuan a little was that the grade of this jade seal was not the peerless grade, but only the heirloom grade.

Tang Yuan thought for a moment, and when his eyes fell on the other jade seals again, his eyes showed a little thoughtfulness.

"Is it possible that only the combination of these 24 jade seals can be called peerless?"

Thinking of the peerless level judgment criteria given by the system, Tang Yuan felt that his guess should be correct. If it were just a jade seal, it seemed that it was not worthy of the peerless level judgment criteria.

But if they are combined together, the meaning is extraordinary.

In a sense, the 24 seals of the Ming Dynasty can indeed represent the 276-year history of the Ming Dynasty. Even if they are described as world cultural treasures, it is not an exaggeration.

Thinking of this, Tang Yuan slowly put down the jade seal engraved with "Treasure of the Emperor of Heaven" in his hand, set his eyes on the other oilcloth boxes again, and then continued to happily open the blind box...
