Although Jin Shaoqing had told Li Youqian not to let him move, Li Youqian still swam forward.

This is a natural cave. Li Youqian is now in the pool in the center of the cave. If you go up the shore, you will find a platform above it, with several long black boxes placed on it.

A minute later, Li Youqian finally swam ashore. Looking at the few black boxes that were so close, Li Youqian also felt a little excited.

"This is called a blessing in disguise." Li Youqian murmured to himself. He was swept here by the underground vortex. Who would have thought that the treasure they were looking for was placed here.

Taking off his helmet, Li Youqian placed his hand on the black box.

After some observation, I found that the black box should be made of wood and the workmanship is quite fine. It is made of mortise and tenon structure spliced ​​with tight threads and almost no gaps.

After looking back and forth, Li Youqian was helpless to find that he could not find the opening of the black box.

"No." Li Youqian tried to move the black box. The box must weigh forty or fifty kilograms, and something must be placed in it.

After thinking for a while, Li Youqian felt that there was no hope of opening it up, Li Youqian took out a small dagger she carried with him and began to pry it up at the mortise and tenon interface.

The box is made of wood, and the black on it is not its original color. But something like paint is supposed to protect the things inside.

Although the wooden box has been stored here for unknown amounts, the wood is still extremely solid. Li Youqian finally pried open a gap after spending a lot of effort.

Then he picked up a stone from the side, smashed the dagger with the stone, and finally knocked down a layer of wooden board on the black box.

"hiss!"

Looking at the things inside the wooden box, Li Youqian instantly took a breath of cold air, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his breathing became rapid.

Under the lights, it’s a pity that I clearly saw that there were all kinds of gold and silver jewelry in the box, which was dazzling!

Li Youqian grabbed it with his hands and grabbed it. These necklaces and bracelets were piled together like street stall goods.

Li Youqian took out a gold necklace from the box with trembling hands and weighed it. It was at least 100 grams. According to the current gold price, this necklace alone would be worth 30,000!

There are 10 or 20 similar gold necklaces in this wooden box. In addition, there are more expensive jade necklaces and precious necklaces. Even if Li Youqian doesn’t understand the market, it is roughly estimated that the various jewelry in this wooden box will add up to tens of millions!

Next to Li Youqian, there are four identical wooden boxes. Even if the things in the other wooden boxes are not as expensive as this wooden box, the total value is definitely over 100 million yuan.

"Is this a pie falling from the sky?" Happiness came too suddenly. Li Youqian felt like he was dreaming, and his blood seemed to be boiling.

After taking a deep breath for two minutes, Li Youqian still couldn't calm down his agitation.

Li Youqian looked at the other black boxes and did not open them. Otherwise, it would be troublesome when transporting them out later.

Putting the gold necklace back into the box, Li Youqian checked around with a flashlight, wanting to see if he could find relevant information about this batch of treasures.

After some inspection, Li Youqian found an article carved with a knife on a stone wall in front of him.

Although it is classical Chinese, Li Youqian is still a bachelor's degree. He still has his skills back then and can't understand the full text. It is not difficult to figure out the general meaning.

After reading the engraving, Li Youqian's heart once again stirred up storm.

It turned out that this batch of treasures was buried here for more than 300 years, and the person who buried the treasures was Li Youqian and his ancestors!

By reading the engravings, Li Youqian discovered a shocking secret!

Among the older generation of Xingfu Village, they have always been rumored that they are descendants of Li Zicheng, but in fact it is not the case. Their ancestors did not have the surname Li, but Song, and were the confidant of Li Zicheng, the military advisor of Dashun Army, Song Xiance!

After Li Zicheng was defeated by the Qing army at Shanhaiguan, he began to flee. Niu Jinxing and his son Niu Quan fled from Li Zicheng in Xiangyang, while Song Xiance and Liu Zongmin were captured at Fuchikou, Hubei. Liu Zongmin was killed, while Song Xiance was taken back to the capital by Nurhaci's twelve son Ajige.

After escaping from the capital, Song Xiance was taken in by some remnants of the Dashun Army. Because the Qing army was too powerful back then, in order to avoid being completely wiped out, Song Xiance brought some people and some gold, silver and treasures to Xingfu Village several times.

At that time, the struggle to kill the remnants of the Dashun Army was still quite fierce, so Song Xiance began to hide his name and buried all the treasures here, so that one day the descendants could make a comeback and restore the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

It’s just a pity that fortune is so good that since the death of Song Xiance and the older generation, fewer and fewer people know about this secret, so that later everyone thought they were descendants of Li Zicheng, and the treasure legend has long been destroyed in the long river of history.

If Jin Shaoqing hadn't wanted to detect the water volume and let Li Youqian enter the cryptana, I'm afraid no one would have discovered this secret in a few hundred years.

"I've sent it." Li Youqian worked hard and had been intriguing with others for nearly half a year. Now he is worth only tens of millions, less than half of the value of this treasure. If he exchanged all of these treasures for cash, he would definitely live a life of ease.

However, Li Youqian soon became worried. This was a treasure left by their ancestor Song Xiance. It was logical that the entire Li clan should be divided equally, but people's hearts were the most unpredictable. It was impossible for Xingfu Village to fall into chaos because of the emergence of these treasures.

After all, under the temptation of huge wealth, both father and son can turn against each other, and both brothers and feet can fight each other, not to mention that everyone's clan concept has faded. Once there is a dispute over interests, the harmonious Happy Village will probably fall apart immediately, making neighbors enemies.

"Forget it, wait until these things are transported out." Li Youqian thought for a long time but did not make a decision.

Then Li Youqian resealed the box that he had opened and then began to wait for Feng Nian.

Time passed quietly, an hour passed, but there was still no news.

However, Li Youqian was not in a hurry at this time, because he believed that Jin Shaoqing and the others would be able to find him.

Half an hour passed again, and a rustling sound of water suddenly came from the pool. Li Youqian quickly turned on the flashlight and shone it over.

"Feng Nian, I'm here!" Seeing the figure floating out of the water, Li Youqian quickly waved his arms and shouted.

Seeing Li Youqian, Feng Nian breathed a sigh of relief and slowly swam to the shore.

"Mr. Li, be anxious. I've been here just now, but the rope was not long enough, so the Jin craftsman sent another section of it." Feng Nian explained to Li Youqian.

"It's okay, safety is the first priority." Li Youqian was still immersed in the joy of discovering the treasure, but he had no complaints.

"Shaoqing, I am Feng Nian. I have found Mr. Li and am ready to return." Feng Nian communicated with Jin Shaoqing from the outside world through radio.

"I know, you must pay attention to safety." Jin Shaoqing replied.

"Mr. Li, let's go. You follow the rope forward and I'll cushion the back." Although the waterway along the way is complicated, it is not a problem to go out with a rope as a guide.

"Wait." Li Youqian called Feng Nian.

"What's wrong?" Feng Nian asked in confusion.

"I found those treasures." Li Youqian said, and pointed the light at the five black boxes containing treasures.

Feng Nian was also shocked when he heard this. They actually completed the investigation very early and could go out, but because they found that mark and wanted to try their luck to see if they could find the treasure, they kept swimming deeper, and eventually Li Youqian was swept away by the underground whirlpool.

Li Youqian didn't shy away from anything and opened the wooden box.

Seeing the jewelry inside, Feng Nian looked in disbelief, and Jin Shaoqing from the outside world was also shocked when he saw this scene through the camera.

Li Youqian also gave Feng Nian a look at the engravings on the rock wall and told him the origin of the treasure.

"This...this is too unbelievable!" Because of the excitement, Feng Nian was a little incoherent.

"Feng Nian, let's move these things out first." Li Youqian said.

"Okay, okay." Feng Nian quickly stepped forward and moved a wooden box to the waterside. Li Youqian also moved one.

Each box has dozens of kilograms. According to common sense, moving such heavy things can't swim in the water at all. But unexpectedly, the wooden box has a very strong buoyancy. If Li Youqian and the others let go, the box with dozens of kilograms will not sink to the bottom!

In this way, Li Youqian and the others became much more relaxed. They each transferred the treasure chest to the outside little by little along the fixed rope.

"Hu." After stepping out of the culvert, Li Youqian breathed a long sigh. The black cave was too depressing. If he stayed for a long time, he would really drive people crazy.

"Cousin, those boxes are not full of treasures, right?" Li Wenliang looked at the treasure chest transported out by Li Youqian and swallowed.

Just now, the rope was not enough, so Jin Shaoqing called Li Wenliang and asked him to bring two plates of ropes. He didn't leave because he was worried about Li Youqian's safety. He happened to see the jewelry in the box from the camera with Jin Shaoqing.

"It should be that you two are optimistic about this. Feng Nian and I will transport the remaining three boxes." Li Youqian saw that there was no one besides Jin Shaoqing and Li Wenliang, so he quickly followed Feng Nian back to the cave on the same route. It took nearly an hour to transport two more boxes.

For this reason, Feng Nian had exhausted all the oxygen bottles, and the last box was returned and transported out by Li Youqian himself.

Li Youqian and Jin Shaoqing came here after dinner in the afternoon. It was only 1:30 when we arrived, but now it is already 6:30 and it is dark.

After a while of rest, when night fell completely, Li Youqian and his friends divided the work and carried all five black boxes to their homes.
Chapter completed!
