Inherit For Three Thousand Years

Why did the Tokugawa shogunate choose Mount Akagi as the place to store gold?

This is because Mount Akagi is one of the territories directly under the jurisdiction of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The defense of the garrison is justified, and such a delicate matter is not easy to be noticed by the outside world. In addition, the garrison of Mount Akagi is usually the "direct relatives" of the Tokugawa shogunate, and it is very important to keep secrets easily.

Furthermore, Mount Akagi is located between the Negawa and Katashinagawa rivers, surrounded by rolling high mountains. It is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and its safety is greatly guaranteed. If the Tokugawa shogunate is finally defeated, Akagiyama will be the last line of defense for the collapse of the whole line.

Based on the above reasons, the Tokugawa Shogunate finally chose Mount Akagi to implement the Tibetan gold plan.

Tamazoubei, who carried out the Tibetan gold plan that year, later wrote a book-"A Brief Account of the Reasons for Burying in Ueno Country."

The book records that this little-known batch of gold buried as military expenses was transported to Mount Akagi in two batches. 3.6 million taels of gold were shipped from Edo and 240,000 taels of gold from the imperial gold store. Together with other gold products, the total storage volume has reached 4 million taels, and only a lot more.

Regarding the treasures of Mount Chicheng, only a few have been found sporadically, and the real treasures of gold have not been discovered yet.

Although the treasure hunting company found in Mount Akagi is not the well-known hidden gold of Mount Akagi, it has attracted much attention because it was unearthed at Mount Akagi.

After Iwasaki Shinichi's brief introduction, the auctioneer finally said: "Along with this golden statue of Sakyamuni, the client also presented a Fujiwara treasure map. Although this treasure map has no practical significance, it is of commemorative value. Very high, especially with this golden Buddha, it is of great significance. The starting price of this lot and the treasure map is 7 million U.S. dollars, and the price increase shall not be less than 100,000 U.S. dollars. The bidding starts below!"

"$7.5 million!"

"$7.8 million!"

"8 million dollars!"

…

As the auctioneer’s voice just fell, and the bidding sounded one after another, it seemed that this golden Buddha statue of Sakyamuni was extremely welcomed and valued by the guests present.

Because of the fierce competition, the asking price continued to rise until it exceeded 10 million U.S. dollars, and the number of guests participating in the competition decreased.

After the price exceeded $15 million, there were still three competitors left.

Until this time, Shinichi Iwasaki raised a placard, "20 million U.S. dollars!"

He directly increased the price by 5 million US dollars, and his inevitable thought was undoubtedly revealed.

Regardless of whether it was because of feeling Iwasaki Shinichi's determination to increase prices significantly, or in awe of him, the three parties who were still competing gave up the competition after he bid the price.

"The first time for $20 million!"

The auctioneer paused for a moment, and there was still no one on the court to compete for the bid. He had to continue to say: "The second time at $20 million!"

Although the price of 20 million US dollars is not low, it is not too high. The auctioneer feels a bit regretful, but he knows very well that Iwasaki Shinichi's deterrence is too great. Under normal circumstances, no one dares to compete with him.

There was silence off the court. Knowing that there was no point in delaying, he finally shouted: "The third time with $20 million! Let us congratulate Mr. Iwasaki on becoming the owner of this treasure."

Iwasaki Shinichi's face must be given, and everyone spontaneously applauded warmly.

I successfully photographed this Shakyamuni Buddha statue that Xiao Yao was very interested in. Iwasaki Shinto said to Xiao Yao: "There has never been a gift that can be given to Mr. Xiao. I hope you can accept me. Be careful."

"You are interested, I like this statue of Sakyamuni Buddha very much."

Xiao Yao was in a good mood. This trip was really not in vain. He unexpectedly harvested a treasure of fortune, and it was also a treasure of good fortune. This kind of harvest was considered huge.

The treasures of fortune are very rare, and each one is precious. For Xiao Yao, even the treasures of fortune of lower grades are more important than the usual third and fourth level magical artifacts.

He has successively obtained several treasures of good fortune, but this golden Buddha statue of Sakyamuni is definitely one of the most precious.

As a top-grade treasure of good fortune, this golden Buddha statue of Sakyamuni gathers purple fortune, and because of its age, the total amount gathered is already very considerable, even more than the total amount of fortune obtained from the Yasuda family this time. a bit more.

Up to now, Xiao Yao still knows little about the reasons for the formation of the treasure of good fortune.

There should be many reasons why this golden Buddha statue of Sakyamuni can become a treasure of good fortune. For example, it is a Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, has been enshrined by eminent monks, and has gathered the faith of many believers for countless years, etc. .

After photographing this golden Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, Xiao Yao never showed any interest, but Shinichi Iwasaki felt that only photographing such a lot and giving it to Xiao Yao was far from expressing his heart, so he again Self-proclaimed and photographed the last finale.

The last lot is an oil painting by Monet, which Iwasaki Shinichi bought for 38 million U.S. dollars.

Xiao Yao always admired Monet's works, and naturally would not refuse his kindness, and he happily accepted Iwasaki Shinichi's intentions.

After returning, Xiao Yao took out the Golden Buddha Shakyamuni again to appreciate it, and then put it away again.

Xiao Yao would be very excited if he got such a high-quality treasure of good fortune before he got the seal of luck. But now he already has the seal of luck, second only to the Holy Soul Realm. Although a high-quality treasure of good fortune is very important to him, its importance is not as good as before.

After putting away the Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, the gifted Fujiwara family treasure map aroused Xiao Yao's interest.

Because time has passed for a long time, many places on this treasure map have been blurred and difficult to distinguish. The treasure hunting company that looked for hidden treasures based on this treasure map was still able to make such a big gain, purely because the blind cat came across dead mice.

Although they finally found two boxes of hidden treasures, such a small amount would certainly not be the treasures of the Fujiwara family.

If this treasure map is real, then for Xiao Yao, this treasure map does have great value.

Although this treasure map is vague, it is no longer possible to identify the exact location of the treasure, but for Xiao Yao, a rough range is enough.

If it weren't for this treasure map, he would definitely not have thought of taking a trip to Chicheng Mountain. Regardless of whether this treasure map is true or not, whether the Fujiwara family's treasure is real or not, the scriptures of Mount Akagi is very likely to be real. The 4 million taels of gold is worth his trip.

The matter of taking over the business of the Yasuda family has come to an end. Instead of staying with the old man Iwasaki Shinichi all day, it is better to explore the legendary treasures. Maybe there will be a big gain.

On the second day, Xiao Yao found an excuse, rejected Iwasaki Shinichi’s invitation, and went to Mount Akagi alone.

According to the treasure map to find, he quickly circled the approximate location of the treasure.

More specific locations can no longer be distinguished, but you can tell from the signs on the map that the location of the treasure is between the two peaks in front of you.

For ordinary people, even if this is confirmed, it is of no avail, because the range between the two mountains is too large, and the search is too difficult, so you can only try your luck.

But for Xiao Yao, this range is accurate enough. He only needs to use the Heavenly Luck Divine Art to check the skyrocketing wealth within this range, and he can easily find the exact location of the treasure.

After getting the seal of Qi Luck, he became more comfortable with the use of the various secret techniques of Heavenly Luck Divine Art, and the scope of checking fortune has increased a lot.

He could observe the entire area between the two mountain peaks without moving the place, but he was not disappointed in the result. The soaring wealth of the mountain on the left was directly reflected in his observation range.

Judging from the scale of wealth, this treasure of the Fujiwara family is surprisingly amazing, and its value is far greater than the legendary Mount Akagi.

In legend, the amount of gold in Mount Akagi is only 4 million taels of gold, which is about 200 tons. The current price of gold is 300 yuan per gram, and the value of 200 tons of gold is about 60 billion yuan.

And how much is the Fujiwara treasure in front of you? Based on the scale of the soaring wealth, the value of this batch of treasure should be about 90 billion yuan, which is more than half of the legendary Mount Chicheng.

This is simply a surprise!

When he came directly under the mountain on the left, Xiao Yao began to unleash his divine sense to investigate. In less than a quarter of an hour, he found the exact location of the treasure.

It’s no wonder that so many people came to Mount Akagi to look for the hidden gold but did not find this Fujiwara hidden treasure. The reason is that the location of the treasure is too deep inside the mountain, and there are not many gold and silver wares in the hidden treasure. Modern metal detectors Doesn't help much.

Xiao Yao was also going to explore the Chicheng Mountain's hidden gold by the way, so he didn't want to delay too much time here, and directly ingested the hidden treasures in the mountain's belly into the Holy Soul Realm with his spiritual sense.

Xiao Yao roughly checked the categories and preservation of these treasures, and found that the preservation was okay, so he was relieved.

The types of treasures are very messy. Among them, the most are books and scriptures, followed by porcelain, and there are also some paintings and calligraphy, except that there are not many gold and silver wares.

Before setting off, Xiao Yao had checked the history of the Fujiwara family. According to the information, the Fujiwara family was one of the most famous big families in Hishima in ancient times. It has been in charge of rituals for generations, and it is second to none in terms of financial resources and power.

No matter what the reason is for such a large family to hide such a lot of treasures, the quality of the collections must be very high.

The fact is true, the number of this batch of treasures is actually not many, there are only 26 large and small boxes in total. But picking out a piece of the collection in the box is extremely precious, so it has such a high value.

Most of the collections in the box are antiques and cultural relics from Japan, only a small part of them are from China, and there are almost no antiques from the West.

Xiao Yao didn't want to delay too much time in Chicheng Mountain, so he simply checked the types of collections stored in each box, and did not identify them too carefully.

Because he could find the treasure according to the picture, the process of finding Fujiwara's hidden treasure was smoother than he expected. But finding Chicheng Mountain’s hidden gold is not so easy. The scope of Chicheng Mountain is so large. Even if he has the seal of luck, the scope of investigating wealth has increased many times. If he is unlucky, I am afraid that it will take a day. Time will be able to thoroughly search Mount Akagi.

Fortunately, his luck was not bad. He had just explored the range of 13 at noon, and a burst of wealth entered his observation range.

The Fujiwara treasure he found just now is deep enough, and the Akagi Mountain treasure in front of him is even better.

In his divine sense observation, there is a tunnel from the foot of the mountain that leads directly to the cave with Tibetan gold. The first 100 meters of this tunnel was dug out manually, but it is a naturally formed cave when it goes deeper. The cave is very deep, 2 kilometers long. , This batch of Tibetan gold is placed in the deepest part of the cave.

In the 100-meter cave that was manually excavated, the front 50 meters has been manually sealed, and the entrance has been disguised. After so many years, there has been no trace of it. If it weren't for Xiao Yao to come here, this batch of Tibetan gold wants to be born, and I don't know when it will wait.

The Chicheng Mountain Tibetan Gold really existed, and it didn't take a long time to find it, Xiao Yao was very happy.

After taking all the Tibetan gold into the Holy Soul Realm, Xiao Yao deliberately calculated that the amount of this batch of Tibetan gold turned out to be 210 tons, although it was slightly more than the amount in the legend, but it was still in line with the record.

It only took half a day to find the Fujiwara Hidden Treasure and the Akagi Mountain Hidden Gold, which made Xiao Yao interested in finding the hidden treasure.
