    Chu Chen searched the surrounding area of ??five to six hundred square meters and found that apart from mud and rocks, there were only some shrubs and weed roots, and some beetles and the like. Not to mention treasures, not even a mouse.  None were found.  "Have I been deceived by Zhang Huoni?" Regarding this result, Chu Chen felt disappointed. He would not have been like this if the treasure contained other things, but Zhang Huoni said that the treasure contained the imperial seal.  You can't care less.  But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. He felt unwilling to think about it.  "Is the key information really in a few words that I didn't recognize?" Chu Chen thought as he walked towards the camp, but in the end he felt that it was unlikely because these words were intermittent. In general,  It is impossible to combine it into useful information. Of course, it is also possible that Zhang Huoni did this on purpose, but the possibility is slim.  Since it is not a matter of treasure maps, there are only two possibilities. One is that Zhang Huoni only placed a few gold and silver ingots here. As for the imperial seal, he made it up.  Another possibility is that there is still key information in the treasure map that he has not found.  Based on Chu Chen¡¯s understanding of Zhang Huoni, it can be said that both possibilities are very high. In this case, Chu Chen must first consider the second scenario to see what clues he has not yet found.  "That's right! I almost forgot about those three things!" Chu Chen clapped his hands, and he suddenly remembered that he still had two landscape and figure bottles and a pen holder in his hand. Zhang Huoni had said that these  Three things can play a key role in finding treasure.  But previously he was concerned about these three things.  I have also studied it carefully, and mainly studied the position of the character's finger on the pattern of the three things.  But I don¡¯t know if there are any key clues missing.  Or he hasn't found the right way so far.  He hadn't yet figured out why.  Originally, because the remaining treasure map had already marked the location of the treasure, Chu Chen did not study these bottles and jars. Now that he thinks about it, the clues to the real treasure may still fall on this.  But the difficulty comes again. Unless he can find the right way or find other clues, there is still no way.  Fortunately, when he came this time, he also brought these three pieces of porcelain.  It is now stored in the hotel safe, otherwise he would feel a little depressed if he returned to Beijing like this.  "Well, let's dig out those gold and silver ingots first. After a hard trip, we can't come back empty-handed." With this thought in mind, Chu Chen walked back to the camp. At this time, Zuo Shan had already packed the tents and other camping items.  It's all packed up.  After the two had a simple and nutritious breakfast, they took out their tools and started working.  Zuo Shan asked: "Brother Zuo, where should we start digging?" Chu Chen pretended to observe for a while, then pointed slightly to the side, but would not affect the location of the treasure hunt, and said: "Let's start from here.  Let's start digging. If we can't find it after a while, we'll go back." Zuo Shan nodded and said, "Yes. I think the air is humid today and it's better for us to move quickly.  , otherwise it¡¯s still a bit dangerous here.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Chu Chen was startled when he heard this.  Mudslides have occurred here. If it really rains and the rainfall is relatively heavy, it is indeed quite dangerous. And even if there are no mudslides, this is a mountainous area and walking in the rain is very inconvenient.  "The possibility is very high." Zuo Shan said.  Zuo Shan is a soldier who is familiar with the mountain environment. He said that the possibility is very high, which means that the possibility of not raining is very slim, so Chu Chen quickly waved his hand: "Then what are you waiting for, let's dig!" Next, two people  People are just digging like crazy. Needless to say, Zuo Shan is no stranger to digging holes and other tasks, because he has skilled skills and is very efficient.  Chu Chen has been used to farm work since he was a child, and he is much stronger than Zuo Shan. If he hadn't controlled the speed, he alone would be as fast as the two of them combined.  In this way, the two dug a large pit with a diameter of more than two meters and a depth of about three meters at a speed that ordinary people would find incredible, but they did not even find the shadow of the treasure.  Generally speaking, there will definitely not be many people burying treasures, and it is unlikely that they will bury the treasures to a depth of five or six meters, which is as high as two floors. Even if the person who buries the treasures does not consider the time of burial,  As for the workload, you should also consider the workload when taking out the treasure, right?  ??Besides, if it encounters a geological disaster such as a rock flow, and it is buried so deep, is it possible that it is not ready to be taken out?  Zuoshan looked at the excavated soil and found that it had not experienced any geological disasters such as mudslides.Under the influence of ?, I planned to express my thoughts, but right here, I heard a "bump", and Chu Chen's shovel seemed to hit something.  "There's something!" Chu Chen showed an expression of surprise just right, and then quickly used a digger to remove the soil around the thing he just encountered, and Zuo Shan also came to help.  After a while, a small box suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.  This box is not big, with length, width and height of 30, 20 and 20 centimeters respectively. The material should be camphor wood. After so many years of being buried, it looks like it has been severely corroded.  Seeing this, Zuo Shan said with some surprise: "Hey! There really is a treasure! But what can I put in such a big box?" Chu Chen chuckled. Even though the box was small, it was because the weight of the gold and silver ingots was inside.  Not light.  Of course, you can't tell Zuo Shan directly about this. He said: "If you want to know what's inside, just open it and take a look." After saying that, the two of them placed their eyes on a small lock on the box.  It was an iron lock, stained with rust and corroded to the point of disgrace. Chu Chen tried it with his gloved hands, and with a slight twist, the lock came off.  Chu Chen frowned secretly, because this made him think about what would happen if the real treasure was buried in the ground like this?  And that box is still a machine box. It would be terrible if the self-destruction device inside the machine box is triggered due to corrosion.  However, no matter how worried Chu Chen was, the outcome would not change, so this idea just flashed through his mind, and then he opened the box with Zuo Shan's curious expression, and there was  The things hanging there were the gold and silver ingots he saw earlier.  "It's just a few ingots!" Zuo Shan looked a little disappointed.  Although Chu Chen was also quite disappointed, because he had adjusted his mood a long time ago, he didn't care too much now. He smiled and said, "Then what do you think should be put in the box?" "Whatever, you have to put some jewelry.  Or antiques? " Zuoshan muttered, but after thinking about it, he thought it was quite normal. Whether it was before or now, in the eyes of many people, gold and silver are symbols of wealth, and treasures are generally gold and silver jewelry.  , it is normal to put a few gold and silver ingots in this small box.  The reason why Zuo Shan feels disappointed is that gold and silver are just the icing on the cake for Chu Chen, a billionaire, and are not as real as jewelry or antiques at all.  Chu Chen smiled slightly and looked at the gold and silver ingots in the box, but when he saw it, a look of surprise appeared on his face.  Because he was disappointed before, he did not pay too much attention to the gold and silver ingots in the box when using his powers. Now he discovered that these gold and silver ingots are actually ingot-type gold and silver collars, which are objects like gold and silver ingots.  These gold and silver collars were all in perfect condition, and what surprised him even more was that judging from the inscriptions, they were actually made during the Southern Song Dynasty.  You must know that since ancient times, although gold-made currency has taken the form of currency, it has rarely become a medium for commercial transactions. Under normal circumstances, it must be exchanged for market currency before transactions can be carried out. It is one of the most important gold items in our country.  The most prized special type, of course, is how it is used today.  Since the beginning of the Chu State's love of gold during the Warring States Period, gold coins such as gold cakes and horseshoe gold in the Han Dynasty, gold cakes, and gold collars in the Tang Dynasty were rewarded by the palace, which reflected the supremacy of imperial power.  In terms of the quality of gold currency, it reached its peak during the Southern Song Dynasty.  During the Southern Song Dynasty, the management of the creation and trading of gold and silver was quite strict.  According to records, gold collars at that time were mainly used for currency exchange, taxes, rewards, donations, military expenditures, state expenditures, etc. Initially, the government recruited private craftsmen to smelt them in Wensi Yuan.  Because the wages of craftsmen in Wensi Yuan were relatively low, skilled craftsmen were often hired without going there.  Therefore, during the Chunxi period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the "common craftsmen" or "gold and silver shops" in Lin'an were responsible for the production of gold and silver, and it was stipulated that the gold and silver craftsmen who supported the government officials must have a certain amount of property and two gold and silver craftsmen.  The shop owner provides a guarantee to prevent cheating and is responsible for compensation.  During the Qingyuan period, it was also stipulated that gold and silver tributes in the future must be engraved with the name of the gold and silver shop, the name of the craftsman, the quality, etc. This can not only ensure the quality, but also improve the credibility of gold currency and stabilize the financial market.  According to data records, in the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, one tael of gold was equivalent to about 24,000 copper coins, which shows its high value.  There are not many gold collars in the box, only three. All three gold collars have beautiful lines, brilliant gold color and steady handles.  The manufacturer and weight are stamped in the middle of the front of the collar. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the Song Dynasty is 15 taels, the other two are both 10 taels. The Song Dynasty made a pound of 640 grams, a pound of 16 taels.40 grams per day.  With a simple calculation, you can know the approximate weight of these three gold collars.  Although the gold produced in the Song Dynasty was definitely not pure gold, such gold collars were relatively rare and were cultural relics. In terms of market value, they would definitely be more expensive than today's pure gold.  The same goes for the value of the silver collar in the box.  Chu Chen felt that this was an unexpected compensation for him.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
