Inherit For Three Thousand Years

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

This is because Mount Akagi is one of the territories directly under the jurisdiction of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and the garrison defense is justifiable, so such a delicate matter is not easily noticed by the outside world. In addition, the garrisons at Mount Akagi are usually directly subordinate troops of the Tokugawa shogunate, so it is easy to keep secrets, which is very important.

In addition, Mount Akagi is located between the two rivers of Negawa and Katashinagawa, surrounded by rolling mountains. It is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and its security is greatly guaranteed. If the Tokugawa shogunate army is finally defeated, Mount Akagi 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 gold storage plan.

Yu Zonghei, who implemented the gold storage plan, later wrote a book-A Brief Introduction to the Reasons for the Ueno Kingdom's Burial.

It is recorded in the book that this little-known batch of gold buried as military expenses was transported to Chicheng Mountain in two batches. 3.6 million taels of gold were shipped from Edo, and 240,000 taels of gold were shipped from Yujinzang. Including other gold products, the total storage capacity has reached 4 million taels, and there is only a lot more.

As for the treasures hidden in Chicheng Mountain, so far only a few have been found sporadically, and the real gold deposits have not been discovered yet.

Although this treasure hunting company did not find the well-known hidden gold in Mount Akagi, it has attracted much attention because it was unearthed in Mount Akagi.

After Iwasaki Shinichi's brief introduction, the auctioneer finally said: Along with this golden statue of Sakyamuni, the consignor also presented the Fujiwara treasure map as a gift. Although this treasure map has no practical significance, it has commemorative value. It is very high, especially together 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 each increase should not be less than 100,000 U.S. dollars. The following bidding begins!

7.5 million dollars!

7.8 million dollars!

Eight million dollars!

...

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, there were calls for prices one after another. It seems that this golden Buddha statue of Sakyamuni was extremely welcomed and valued by the guests present.

Due to fierce competition, the asking price has been continuously rising until it broke through 10 million US dollars, and the number of guests participating in the competition has decreased.

After the price topped $15 million, there were three remaining contenders.

Until this time, Shinichi Iwasaki raised his placard to ask for the price, 20 million US dollars!

He directly increased the price by 5 million US dollars, and his intention to win was undoubtedly revealed.

Regardless of whether it was due to the determination of Iwasaki’s substantial price increase or the awe of him, the three parties that were still competing gave up the competition after his bid.

$20 million for the first time!

The auctioneer paused for a moment, but there was still no one competing to bid, so he could only continue: 20 million US dollars for the second time!

Although the price of 20 million US dollars was not low, it was not high either. The auctioneer felt a little regretful, but he knew very well in his heart that Iwasaki Shinichi's deterrence was too great, and under normal circumstances no one would dare to compete with him.

There was silence in the audience. He knew that there was no point in procrastinating, and finally shouted: 20 million US dollars for the third time! Let us congratulate Mr. Iwasaki for being the owner of this treasure.

Iwasaki Shinichi must give face, and everyone applauded spontaneously.

I successfully photographed this Sakyamuni Buddha statue that Xiao Yao was very interested in.

Iwasaki Nobu said to Xiao Yao: There has never been a gift that can be given to Mr. Xiao. I hope you can accept my little favor.

You have a heart, I like this Buddha statue of Sakyamuni very much.

Xiao Yao was in a good mood. This trip was really not in vain. He unexpectedly got a lucky treasure, and it was a top-grade lucky treasure. Such a harvest can be regarded as huge.

Treasures of fortune are very rare, and each one is very precious. For Xiao Yao, even low-grade treasures of fortune are more important than ordinary third- and fourth-level magic weapons.

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

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

Until now, Xiao Yao still has a half-knowledge of the formation of the Fortune Treasure, and cannot fully understand it.

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

After photographing this golden Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, Xiao Yao never showed interest again, but Shinichi Iwasaki felt that it was far from expressing his feelings to only photograph such a piece of art and give it to Xiao Yuan, so he again On his own initiative, he took a photo of the finale auction.

The last lot, a Monet painting, was sold by Iwasaki for $38 million.

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

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

If he had obtained such a top-grade fortune treasure before he obtained the seal of luck, Xiao Yao must have been very excited. But now he already has the Divine Seal of Luck, which is second only to the Holy Soul Realm. Although a top-grade fortune treasure is very important to him, its importance is not as good as before.

After putting away the Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, the accompanying treasure map of the Fujiwara family 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 searched for the treasure based on this treasure map can still have such a big harvest, it is purely a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

Although they found two boxes of treasures in the end, such a small amount would definitely not belong to the Fujiwara family's treasures.

If this treasure map is real, then for Xiao Yao, this treasure map is indeed of great value.

Although this treasure map is blurry and the exact location of the treasure can no longer be identified from it, for Xiao Yao, a rough range is enough.

If it wasn't for this treasure map, he certainly wouldn't have thought of taking a trip to Chicheng Mountain. Regardless of whether this treasure map is true or not, and whether the treasures of the Fujiwara family actually exist, the Tibetan scriptures on Chicheng Mountain are very likely to be real, and the 4 million taels of hidden gold is worth his trip.

It just happened that the matter of taking over the Yasuda family business has come to an end. Instead of staying with the old man Iwasaki Shinichi all day, it is better to explore the legendary hidden treasures, maybe there will be a big harvest.

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

Searching according to the treasure map, he quickly circled the approximate treasure location.

The more specific location can no longer be distinguished, but according to the signs on the map, we can tell that the treasure location is in the middle of the two peaks in front of us.

For ordinary people, even if this is confirmed, it will not help, because the range between these two peaks is too large, and the search is too difficult, so they can only rely on luck.

But for Xiao Yao, this range is accurate enough. He only needs to use the magic of fortune to check the soaring wealth within this range, and he can easily find the exact location of the treasure.

After obtaining the Divine Seal of Fortune, he became more comfortable with the various secret methods of the Divine Fortune Art, and the scope of checking wealth has increased a lot.

He didn't need to move his place to observe the entire area between the two peaks, and the result didn't disappoint him. The soaring fortune near the left mountain was directly reflected in his observation range.

Judging from the scale of wealth, the hidden treasures of the Fujiwara family are extremely astonishing, and their value is far greater than the legendary Akagi Mountain hidden gold.

The amount of gold hidden in Chicheng Mountain is said to be 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 worth? Estimated according to the scale of the soaring wealth, the value of this batch of hidden treasures should be about 90 billion yuan, which is half more than the legendary Chicheng Mountain hidden gold.

It was nothing short of a surprise!

Going directly to the mountain peak on the left, Xiao Yao began to use his spiritual sense to investigate. In less than a quarter of an hour, he found the exact location of the treasure.

No wonder so many people came to Chicheng Mountain to search for hidden gold but did not find this Fujiwara treasure. The reason is that the location of the treasure is too deep inside the mountain, and there are not many gold and silver objects in the treasure. Modern metal detectors It doesn't work.

Xiao Yao also planned to explore the hidden gold in Chicheng Mountain by the way, so he didn't want to waste too much time here, so he directly took the treasures in the belly of the mountain into the Holy Soul Realm with his spiritual consciousness.

Xiao Yao roughly checked the categories and preservation of these hidden treasures, and felt relieved when he saw that they were well preserved.

The categories of hidden treasures are very messy, the most of which are books and scriptures, followed by porcelain, and some calligraphy and painting, but there are not many gold and silver wares.

Before setting off, Xiao Yao checked the history of the Fujiwara family. According to the information, the Fujiwara family was one of the most famous big families in ancient Japan. They were in charge of sacrifices for generations, and they were the leading big families in terms of financial resources and power.

Such a big family, no matter what the reason for hiding such a batch of treasures, the quality of the collection must be very high.

The fact is true, the number of treasures in this batch is actually not much, there are only 26 large and small boxes in total. But if you pick any one from the collection in the box, it is extremely precious, so it has such a high value.

Most of these collections in the box are antique relics from Japan’s own country, only a small part of which comes from Hua, and there are almost no antique relics from the West.

Xiao Yao didn't want to stay in Chicheng Mountain for too long, so he simply checked the types of collections stored in each box without too careful identification.

Because he could search for clues according to the map, the process of finding Fujiwara's hidden treasure was smoother than he expected. But it is not so easy to find the hidden gold in Chicheng Mountain. The scope of Chicheng Mountain is so large. Even after he has the seal of luck, the scope of detecting wealth has increased many times. If he is unlucky, it may take a day. It will take time to search Chicheng Mountain thoroughly.

Fortunately, his luck was pretty good. He had just explored 1/3 of the range at noon, and a wave of wealth entered his observation range.

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

According to his spiritual observation, there is a passage from the foot of the mountain leading directly to the cave where the gold is stored. The first 100 meters of this passage were excavated manually, but the further depth is a naturally formed cave. The cave is very deep, 2 kilometers long. , this batch of hidden gold is placed in the deepest part of the cave.

The first 50 meters of the 100-meter cave dug by hand have been sealed off manually, and the entrance has been camouflaged. After so many years, there is no trace of it. If Xiao Yao hadn't come here, it is unknown when this batch of hidden gold would be born.

The hidden gold in Chicheng Mountain really existed, and it took only half a day to find it. Xiao Yao was very happy.

After absorbing all the hidden gold into the Holy Soul Realm, Xiao Yao deliberately calculated that the amount of this batch of hidden gold was 210 tons. Although it was slightly more than the legendary amount, it still fit the record.

It took only half a day to find the Fujiwara treasure and the Chicheng mountain treasure, which made Xiao Yao interested in finding treasure.

Up to now, I don't feel hungry at all if I don't eat a meal, so I just continued to search for hidden treasures in Chicheng Mountain without even eating lunch.

But it turns out that Chicheng Mountain is not full of treasures. He has already found the two largest treasures, so the next search is destined to not yield much.

Of course, his work all afternoon was not completely useless, and he found three treasures one after another, but the number of treasures was not large, and the total amount was less than 80 million yuan.

For others, if you can get such a big harvest in half a day, you will be crazy, and you will definitely continue to search the next day. But for Xiao Yao, the half-day search only yielded so little, and it was unnecessary at all.

This little motivation is too small, and half a day is enough to wear away all his nature.
