Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zuo Shan was startled when he heard this. He really didn't expect Chu Chen to give such a reason.  When it comes to the word "treasure", many people may immediately think about it.  The dazzling gold and silver jewelry really has the power to make people imagine.  This is also the main plot of many martial arts novels, such as "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain" by Jin Yong and "Ping Zong Xia Ying" by Liang Yusheng.  It should be said that China is a vast land with rich resources. Since ancient times, most of the legends about treasures are unclear, and treasure maps are everywhere. But if you can really find treasures based on legends or treasure maps, Zuoshan has never heard of anyone succeeding in it before.  Pass.  However, generally speaking, no one will let everyone know that they have found a treasure. Therefore, it is possible that someone found a treasure based on a treasure map but kept it secret.  Moreover, Zuo Shan also thought that there is indeed a place in the city of Xiazhou where priceless treasures are buried, and this place is the Three Gorges.  As we all know, the Three Gorges waterway is full of dangerous shoals. The 660-kilometer waterway from Xiazhou to Shancheng has a drop of 120 meters. There are 139 dangerous shoals that are major obstructions to navigation. There are endless incidents of shipwrecks and shipwrecks.  In this section of the waterway, some sections are full of rapids and dangerous shoals. Historically, it is also famous for its twists and turns, strange rocks, many shoals and fast water, making boating thrilling.  It is precisely because of the dangerous shoals in the Three Gorges waterway that countless ships have sunk here over the past thousands of years. Many of these sunken ships contain large amounts of gold and silver treasures and precious cultural relics.  For example, the famous Yinwo Beach is due to the fact that in ancient times, wealthy families traveling from south to north often passed by boats, and accidents often occurred, such as boats capsizing and people being buried in the belly of fish. The gold and silver treasures they brought with them fell into the water on the beach.  middle.  Hence the name.  ¡°However, due to the fast and dangerous water flow, as well as financial and technical limitations, these cultural relics and treasures sunk at the bottom of the water have never been unearthed, causing them to accumulate more and more.  become a huge fortune.  It is said that someone picked up property there in the 1970s.  That winter, after the Yangtze River entered the dry season, a large number of fish were blocked in Qingtan, blocking the channel, and lived in the house of villager Liu Laohan.  Because there was a shortage of firewood for cooking in the morning, the three people went to the river to collect wood.  During this period, someone suddenly fell in the river. When the other two people hurried over to help him, they forcibly lifted a large "square brick" from the water. The "square brick" was black and sticky.  It was about a foot square, and I later learned that it was made of lead. It might have been a mechanical device on the ship, but there was something else.  For example, there were large silver ingots, silver ingots, smaller gold ingots, and some copper coins. They were originally in bunches, but they were picked up as soon as they were picked up.  The rope immediately broke.  There have always been rumors of endless treasures at the bottom of the river, because this incident has been further confirmed.  But frightened by water danger.  Only a few brave people went to salvage, but there was no big harvest.  The matter was settled.  Thinking of this, Zuo Shan wondered if the treasure map recorded by Chu Chen was these treasures, but when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.  What they faced was a mountainous area, which had nothing to do with the sunken treasure.  Could it be that someone salvaged the treasure and buried it here?  Thinking of this.  Zuo Shan couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked: "Master Chu, what kind of treasure are we here to find? Is it the legendary sunken treasure?" Chu Chen was also stunned when he heard this, and laughed and said:  "Brother Zuo, not all the treasures hidden in Xiazhou are shipwreck treasures. As for what treasure we are looking for, let me give it a try first. Let's find the location of the treasure first." Seeing what Chu Chen said, Zuo Shan also  He could only suppress the curiosity in his heart and asked: "Master Chu, which direction should we go now?" "Wait a minute" As he said that, Chu Chen took out a simple map based on the treasure picture.  , after unfolding, compare them carefully.  Zuo Shan curiously came over to observe for a moment, and found that the terrain depicted in the treasure map was at least 70 to 80% similar to the situation here.  Considering the rudimentary and distorted lines of the treasure map, this is an extremely high ratio.  He estimated that the place recorded on the treasure map should be almost here.  "Let's go and inquire about the situation first." Chu Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then walked towards a small mountain village not far away with only twenty or thirty households.  The two of them asked an old man about the situation and found that it was indeed as shown in the treasure picture. There used to be a small temple on the mountain next to it, but it had long since collapsed due to disrepair.  It doesn¡¯t matter to Chu Chen whether it collapses or not, as long as he can confirm that the treasure map is correct.  After saying goodbye to the old man, Chu Chen and Zuo Shan walked towards the location of the treasure marked on the treasure map.  As the old saying goes, if you look up the mountain and run to death, the location on the map doesn't look far away, but walkingIn the end, Chu Chen and Zuo Shan almost died.  There is no way to get there, and the road is full of shrubs and weeds. In addition, it is almost July, and there are many poisonous insects and the like in the mountains. Along the way, they encountered as many as seven or eight venomous snakes.  This is why Chu Chen didn¡¯t tell Wu Ke in advance that he came to Xiazhou this time to hunt for treasure.  , otherwise Wu Ke would definitely come together out of curiosity.  By then, walking so many mountainous roads would take a toll on her physical strength. It would be terrible if she was injured by a poisonous insect or snake.  In this way, the two of them walked for more than two hours before finally arriving at a small mountain col.  "This Mr. Chu, is the treasure really buried here?" Zuo Shan looked at the scene in front of him and asked a little dumbfounded.  Chu Chen also had a wry smile on his face and said: "This is the place marked on the map, so it shouldn't be wrong." The reason why the two of them had such expressions was because there had been a mudslide here, and they could only see that nearly half of the mountain was in the col.  All were buried under boulders and soil.  In this way, if the treasure happens to be buried under boulders and soil, it will be difficult to operate without an excavator. ??????????????????????????????????? If Chu Chen and Zuo Shan really have to dig with their hands, even if they dig for three to five months, they don¡¯t expect to be able to dig out the treasure.  ¡° Moreover, given how difficult it is for them to walk here, in order to bring in an excavator, other than digging into the mountain, they can only use helicopter airlift.  This situation made Chu Chen very depressed, and thought to himself: "I don't know what happened to this fire clay, and I didn't find a cave to hide the treasure in such an open place. Could it be that he just didn't want people to hide it?"  Has the treasure been found? Or is this treasure map actually a fake, a joke made by Zhang Huoni? " Chu Chen scratched his head in distress, and then said: "No matter if there is a treasure or not, since we are here, we have to look for it.  "However, they did not take action immediately. After walking for more than two hours on the mountain road, no matter how strong their physical strength was, they were still a little tired, so they sat down first, drank some water, ate some dry food, and rested.  After more than twenty minutes, we set off to the center of the mountain col, which is where the treasure is marked on the map.  During this period, Chu Chen let go of his supernatural powers and walked around to check if there were any treasures. When he got close to the center of the mountain col, he sensed the treasures buried underground.  However, Chu Chen was not happy because the treasure under the ground was not the imperial seal he wanted, but a few gold and silver ingots. This made him a little stunned immediately. Although these gold and silver ingots were valuable,  , but it is not what he wants at all now, and with his financial strength, he is not short of a few gold and silver ingots.  "Is it that I am so unlucky that the less than 10% of the characters that I failed to identify are really the most critical clues to the treasure? Or is it that Zhang Huoni has never obtained the national jade seal at all, and all this is just fabricated by him.  I traveled thousands of miles to Xiazhou, but in the end I could only bring back a few gold and silver ingots? "Although Chu Chen didn't put much effort into getting this treasure map, it was clearly written as a national jade seal, but in the end it was just a treasure map.  The huge contrast between ordinary gold and silver ingots made him feel extremely disappointed when he thought about it.  Seeing Chu Chen standing still with a frown on his face, Zuo Shan asked, "Mr. Chu, have you discovered anything?" Of course, Chu Chen couldn't say that he was very disappointed because he discovered the treasure under the ground. Control yourself.  With his own emotions, he said: "Well, I have a clue. I think the treasure not far away from the boulder should be the place where the treasure is buried." As he said that, Chu Chen pointed to the boulder not far away.  Zuo Shan looked in the direction Chu Chen pointed and felt that it was indeed that place in his impression, so he nodded subconsciously.  However, he looked at the darkening sky and suggested that as it was getting late, they should put up the tent first, rest for the night, and then start digging for treasure early tomorrow morning.  Chu Chen¡¯s previous preparations were quite sufficient. He had prepared tents and other camping tools in advance. Zuo Shan was a little strange about this beforehand, thinking that Chu Chen was planning to go out to the wild?  I didn¡¯t expect that the wild is a wild place, but it¡¯s not about playing but about treasure hunting.  After all, Zuo Shan was the former King of Soldiers, and camping was a common occurrence for him. In addition, Chu Chen was also very capable. The two worked together and built a temporary residence in a short time.  In addition, in the wild, especially in mountainous areas, you must beware of dangers such as poisonous insects and beasts at night. Zuoshan also took this into consideration.  Speaking of which, Chu Chen had never spent the night in the wild before. Normally, he would have had some novel feelings in his heart, but now his mind was filled with treasures, so he couldn't care less about it.  After a restless night, Chu Chen got up early in the morning and exercised, then walked around the col. He told Zuo Shan that he did this because he wanted toLook for more clues, just in case there is no treasure in the place mentioned yesterday. In fact, he used his powers to detect the situation in the surrounding mountain walls.  The result made Chu Chen very disappointed. Except for the gold and silver ingots he found yesterday, all the places he visited were empty. Not to mention the national jade seal, not even a single copper coin was found.  (To be continued)
