Winter is over soon.

When Xie Jing's health was getting better, there was also news from Jiangkou Buffalo Town.

The excavation of the underground palace went smoothly, and it took a winter to finally dig it up. Fortunately, it was the dry season, and the water from the underground river was also pumped away in time.

As for why the underground palace is under the government office, it is said that it is because the old mayor was fascinated by power and wealth, and paid attention to adding officials to the "coffin", so he buried his own sarcophagus below, and used the real government office to suppress his luck. Here A lot of feng shui was used to pay attention to the head, and a lot of thought was spent.

Sure enough, after the stone tomb that locked Liu Ruyi was dug up, there was another layer under the phoenix bed, and a huge sarcophagus was dug out.

The last hope of the old mayor was shattered. On the day the sarcophagus came out, he was bumped to death in the ruins of the government office.

With a long-standing obsession, he went mad, and he will die here even if he dies.

After the death of the old mayor, there were still a few people in Buffalo Town talking nonsense, cursing people with horrible faces. These were the most loyal followers of the old mayor back then. Not long after the old mayor died, , They also committed suicide in prison one after another.But such lunatics are still a minority after all. The other villagers in Buffalo Town are more afraid of the old mayor and the underground palace. They are ignorant and their wisdom has not yet been enlightened, but the basic desire to survive is still there, and they do not have the courage to commit suicide. .

These villagers are timid, and they will listen to whoever is in charge of this place.

Cao Yunzhao is a local parent official who ordered them to work voluntarily and reform themselves.Buffalo Town lacks manpower, so these villagers were asked to level the surrounding government office and build a school building. In addition, they also rebuilt the wharf, ferry, etc., and the materials used were also cleared from the excavation of the underground palace. The most abundant stones and soil are used to the best of their ability.

The chief of staff led troops to dig up some gold and silver antiques in the underground palace. Those treasures were all piled up in one place, but it was a bit difficult to deal with them.

The great professors from Peiping hoped that they would donate, but the chief of staff would not agree, and even many antique dealers came here after hearing the news, and came all the way to try to buy the ancient artifacts from the underground palace and resell them abroad at high prices.Although the Shu region has not been affected by external wars in the past two years, warlords scuffle is inevitable. There are many foreign strongmen. On the one hand, we must be wary of those foreign robbers who want to take advantage of the fire, and on the other hand, we must be careful of those who are eager to steal treasure.

A few squires from Meishan sought Cao Yunzhao for this reason. They lived in a corner and were used to being local snakes and bullies. .Cao Yunzhao hated this deeply, and punished the two of them ruthlessly, and the atmosphere gradually began to subside.

Cao Yunzhao took a long-term view. He gave all the conveniences he could provide, and tried his best to help those great professors in Beiping and Huang Mingyou to protect the treasure.

And Commander Luo's troops were stationed here, and no one dared to use force.

In the stone tomb.

Old scholars are intensely inspecting the excavation.

There are murals on the walls of this tomb, painted about a hundred years ago, recording a grand narrative.

The Western King was in power for a very short period of time, but he plundered countless ancestral temple ritual vessels and famous historical books. He even specially painted such a huge mural to highlight and commemorate his achievements.On the murals, there are dense and tall buildings and courtyards, as well as chariots following the King of the West, a huge ceremonial guard, crowned like clouds, and an army following the King of the West, and behind him are countless palace people holding sacrificial ceremonies, with bells and drums ringing ...The depiction is delicate and vivid, and even the expressions of the drummers raising their hands and roaring are clearly depicted.

Because of the long time, the murals have been incomplete, and they were repaired with gold powder by later generations.

Generations of people in Buffalo have believed in these and have taken their ancestors seriously.

Some of the big professors from Peiping were serious about surveying and mapping, while others were talking quietly while watching. Professor Fu was the leader of the Peking team.

Huang Mingyou asked: "Old Fu, it's a joy to be able to rescue such a mural. What are you sighing for?"

Professor Fu smiled wryly and said: "I heard today that Commander Luo is in a hurry, and I'm afraid they won't be able to wait for us to raise the money. We need to melt the above batch of gold and silver first. The rest is fine, but it's a pity to have a few gold books. "

The person next to him said: "It's not just the gold book, those antique jars were salvaged, and they were still intact. Before I got closer to look at them, the chief of staff put them away."

After hearing this, Mr. Huang could only sigh dejectedly.

If the chief of staff hadn't led the troops to guard here, the underground palace would have been looted long ago, and all of them, the literati, had no strength to restrain the chickens, so they couldn't protect this place at all.

But the chief of staff came here for a clear purpose, what he wanted was military pay.

The old professors were distraught.

There are indeed treasures in Buffalo Town, but in the eyes of the old professors, these treasures are far more valuable than gold and silver, especially in the last sarcophagus tomb, which is covered with a layer of oracle bones, ivory wat boards, and several extremely rare exquisite gold pieces. Booklet, the content of Xiwang Shanggong written on it is clear, and all have name textual research, which is really rare.

Mr. Huang was so anxious that his mouth foamed and he couldn't sleep well all night.

Two days later, Master Jiu sent someone over.

After Mr. Jiu heard about Mr. Huang and those great professors, he used his own name and Xie Jing's to trade with the chief of staff. They didn't want gold and silver, but only Those worthless "broken", all the oracle bones with writing, yellowed ivory tablets, books and ancient scrolls, bamboo slips... The Bai family gathered all these and donated them to the country.

Even the gold book that Mr. Huang wanted was bought with additional money, and the chief of staff also made a favor, letting the people from the Bai family take Mr. Huang in to choose at will, and the price was set at will - Bai Jiuye didn't take those gold books. They had already given back one hundred thousand oceans for the cake and silver bricks, and they were already satisfied.

Mr. Huang relieved his urgent need and smiled happily.

The great professors from Peking were even more overjoyed, and wrote articles to the two of them, praising them and calling them patriotic businessmen.

Those literati, as long as they are famous, have pride, even if they spend money, they will not easily write anything, but this time they all started to write about Bai Jiuye and Xie Jing. Money generally keeps writing.

A very well-known university scholar spared no effort to write several articles, which praised the actions of people in Shu, and the names of Bai and Xie were often seen in newspapers and books for a while.

These lonely literati have their own tempers, but they all love this land and this country in different ways.

As long as you love your country, you are all friends.

It's a friend they've never met.

March, spring day.

As soon as the spring breeze passes through the grass tree Su.

The mountains and forests in the Shu region are full of greenery, and the treetops and branches have sprouted new leaves, which are tender, green, and full of vitality.

Xie Jing's body has recovered after resting for a winter.Master Jiu and Xie Siquan were very nervous about him this winter, and kept him recuperating in Xie's mansion, and did not let him go out. They waited until the weather was warmer, and after discussing, they took Xie Jing out together, and found a name for an outing, so that He ran for a while to relax.

Everyone didn't go far, and chose an Arhat Temple on the mountainside.

The carriage was swaying, Xie Jing opened the curtain to look out, Xie Siquan leaned crookedly on the side cushion, took a fruit and handed it to him: "Look what, there is nothing to see along the way, wait until the place is more beautiful, here, eat A fruit, I tasted it, it was sweet."

Xie Jing took it, put it on his mouth and took a bite, "Uncle, is that the Arhat Temple you mentioned to me before?"

Xie Siquan smiled and said: "Yes, it's the place where your mother and I used to go when we were young. When the elders in the family were around, we went there. Afterwards, only sister and I were left, and she took me there." After Xie Yuan was gone , he hadn’t been there for a long time, and after thinking for a while, he said, "The vegetarian food there is delicious. I remember that there is a tofu stuffed dish that is very good. Don't you like tofu? Let's eat this at noon."

Xu Jun on the side couldn't listen anymore, and said, "Jing'er is not picky about food."

Xie Siquan raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

Xu Jun: "He eats everything, but you should follow suit."

The two often quarreled over trivial matters, Xie Jing was used to it, and would just sit aside and laugh when she heard it.

There was the sound of horseshoes approaching outside, Xie Jing lifted the curtain of the car, and saw Master Jiu.

Jiuye rode a horse today, bent over to look at him, and asked, "Are you tired?"

Xie Jing shook her head, bent her eyes to look at him, and her eyes were full of smiles.

Master Jiu also raised the corners of his lips and asked, "Would you like to come out and ride a horse? I'll take you."

Xie Siquan heard that he didn't care about arguing with Xu Jun, and just wanted to stop him, when Xie Jing agreed, jumped off the carriage and went to look for Bai Jiu, the two cooperated well, and Xie Jing got on board Bai Jiu's horse back, rode away.

Xie Siquan yelled twice, but he didn't come back.

When the group arrived at Luohan Temple, Xie Jing's face was rosy, and riding a horse and blowing the wind didn't have any effect, but his complexion became better, Xie Siquan was relieved.

The people of Luohan Temple were old acquaintances with the Xie family, and the Xie family offered incense here. After the worship, Xie Siquan followed the host to another incense room.

He only brought Xie Jing with him, and took him to pay homage to a memorial tablet. The name "Xie Yuan" was written in gold lacquer on it, and the handwriting was very new.

After Xie Siquan looked at Xie Jing respectfully and worshiped, he was a little lost in thought.

Xie Jing stood aside without opening his mouth, waiting in the sandalwood for a while.

Xie Siquan said: "There was no name on this tablet before. I always felt that the one He Dongting found was not my sister. As long as I don't recognize it, I can find it again. But I am afraid that my sister is alone outside. It’s not on the way home, so I asked the master to enshrine the longevity card.” He sighed softly, let go of something in his eyes, and smiled lightly, “Now it’s a matter of my mind, sister went there early By the way, let's live a good life, and when we cross the Santu River in the future, we won't be laughed at when we meet her."

After he finished speaking, he bowed to the memorial tablet again, offering incense earnestly, with gentle eyes.

noon.

Everyone ate vegetarian food, Xie Jing really liked the stuffed tofu dish, and each of them ate half a plate.Seeing that he likes it, Xie Siquan also ordered tofu buns, as well as some steamed glutinous rice snacks, all of which Xie Jing likes, the portion is small, there are many varieties, and he loves his nephew very much.

Master Jiu calmly put the glutinous rice snack that Xie Jing took a bite into his own bowl, fearing that he would eat too much and it would be difficult to digest, so he put another bowl of porridge by his hand, and talked to him in a low voice.

There were many people at the table, but Master Jiu had more eyes to see here, Xie Jing was uncomfortable being watched, so he slowed down while eating.

Master Jiu raised his head and looked at the opposite side, and the people on the other side immediately didn't dare to look here any more, only Bai Mingyu was still staring at Xie Jing in a daze.

Bai Hongqi touched him with her arm and coughed lightly.

Bai Mingyu was stunned, but it was too late, as soon as he raised his head, he met Master Jiu's displeased gaze, and his heart skipped a beat.

Bai Hongqi smoothed things over. She looks good, loves to laugh, and speaks crisply and interestingly: "Uncle Jiu, I heard people from Buffalo Town talk about the underground palace a few days ago. It turns out that this underground palace is really related to Xiwang Chen Yin. According to Mr. Huang's newly recognized figure on the golden book, the person who first built this underground palace should be Xi Wang Yizi."

The righteous son of Xi Wang is named Zhang Kewang, and he is also a capable person.

Back then, Zhang Xianzhong received a secret order to use the quarrying of mountains as a cover, and secretly excavated and built an underground palace to hide treasures.

It's just that they didn't expect the Great Western Kingdom to be destroyed so quickly. This batch of treasures became the power they wanted to restore. It's just that generations of people stick to this place, becoming more and more pedantic. When it comes to the generation of the old mayor of Buffalo Town, it is even more important in the county annals. It says, "Heaven shows miracles, mountains crack and stones come out, don't worry about transporting chariots, don't raise money, add dozens of couplets to government houses"... The translation is, the ancestors show their spirits, I am sincerely grateful, and the stones don't need to dig mountains by themselves Cracked, and new government offices and houses were built out of thin air without moving them.

This is absolutely impossible.

Guarding the treasure, the old mayor became greedy.

He used the stones in the underground palace, so the stones didn't need to be mined to crack themselves; he used part of the treasures and used the money to build a living tomb for himself, so he added to the government office, only to add officials to the "coffin".

The slave who guards the treasure holds the treasure until death and refuses to open his eyes to see the world.

They had already "killed" themselves to death in this small buffalo town.

A dream for a hundred years.

After Bai Hongqi finished speaking, she was a little bit embarrassed.

Bai Mingyu was somewhat repulsed by those in Buffalo Town. He felt that those people were crazy, and when he remembered how weak his aunt was in his arms, his heart ached.He picked up vegetables for Miss Hong, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk about that, I don't like to hear it. Auntie, try this, the tip of the lotus root is so crispy, and it tastes delicious after marinating."

Bai Hongqi glanced at him, feeling that she had saved a fool.

If it wasn't for Bai Er, she should have let Uncle Jiu punish him for what she was doing by telling stories.
