Chapter 407

"It may be because it is high, or the cave roof is dry," recalls Professor Tian Dongmin. "The ancient skeleton has been completely preserved, and the hair and some clothes are still recognizable. We are all archaeologists. We can see from the remains that it was a Ming Dynasty man!

"It was a man who died in middle age, but the cause of death was unknown.

"The most evil thing is that in his hand, we found a piece of cowhide. The cowhide should have been soaked with tung oil and treated specially. After so many years, there was no sign of decay.

"We carefully took down the cowhide, and after unfolding it, we were surprised to find that there were words written on it.

"Dong peizhuo has deep attainments in writing. He interpreted the words on cowhide at the scene!

"In retrospect, it's really like writing a movie script," Tian Dongmin said bitterly. "What's written on that cow leather is a suicide note! But on the suicide note, there is a shocking secret! Really, at that time, we were all like a dream. We couldn't believe it! "

"Is it about the Golden Buddha?" Zhao Yu guessed a little disappointed.

"Yes! The posthumous note was written by Qiu Cheng, Lu Ya's Grand Chancellor, "Tian Dongmin replied in the affirmative." the ancient corpse should be the descendants of Qiu Cheng, Lu Ya's Grand Chancellor, either son or grandson. Since he can get the posthumous note, it should be his most immediate relative!

"The general content of the suicide note is that Qiu Cheng hid a large number of treasures, including the twelve golden Buddhas, in a safe and secret place in Qinshan mountain in case of emergency in the future.

"In order to remember the location of the treasure, he also secretly made two treasure maps!

"Later, Qiu Cheng was ill and bedridden. Before he died, he had no time to transfer the treasure, so he passed two treasure maps, one to his family and the other to his grave!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying not only did not solve their doubts, but added more questions. So it seems that the ancient remains and suicide notes are the key to the whole case, which is very different from what they thought before.

"The suicide note also revealed a detail," Wang Taiming continued to introduce Zhao Yu and Miao Ying as he struggled forward. "Qiu Cheng, who is very cautious, engraved the treasure map on two ancient jades in order to hide people's eyes and ears! In other words, the suicide note we found is not a treasure map, but ancient jade!

"But we searched every corner where the body was found, and we didn't see the ancient jade! I don't know if the suicide note separated from the ancient jade, or if the ancient jade was accidentally lost by Qiu Cheng's descendants! "

"We checked the information later," Tian Dongmin said again. "In fact, Qiu Cheng had only one son. He once inherited Qiu Cheng's post of prefect, but not long after he took office, the peasant uprising broke out! There will be no relevant records in the future!

"Therefore, we think that the ancient remains may be Qiu Cheng's son!

"We saw many ancient soldiers' equipment at the scene. I suspect that after the destruction of Luya City, Qiu Cheng's son fled to the cave with his family and some soldiers, lived in seclusion there for several years.

"But later, there may have been an outbreak of disease or something, and people died! Qiu Cheng's son died in a higher place, which left his body!

"So we thought, is it true that the Golden Buddha and treasure are still hidden in Qinshan mountain and have not been found? If we can find the lost ancient jade, will we be able to find them? "

"But..." hearing this, Miao Ying frowned and asked, "since the ancient jade with the treasure map has been lost, has the treasure been found?"

"Yes!" Zhao Yu also agreed with Miao Ying, "so far away things are full of countless possibilities! The dead man may be a gangster. He killed Qiu Cheng's descendants long ago and took the treasure away, didn't he? In addition, relatives and friends are also likely to betray. After all, they are a large number of valuable treasures! "

"No!" Tian Dongmin shook his head and said, "according to our later research, the possibility of the twelve golden Buddhas being found is no more than 5%!"

"No? You can be so sure? " Zhao Yu still doesn't believe it.

"Believe me, we have been engaged in cultural relics all our life!" Wang Taiming said, "no one knows more about the value of the twelve golden Buddhas than we do! With the twelve heavenly statues as the prototype, the whole body is made of pure gold. Its significance, specifications and attainments have definitely reached the level of national rare cultural relics!

"If there has been an occurrence in history, it can not be recorded!

"Also, the treasure map is engraved on the ancient jade. Qiu Cheng's son must have memorized the treasure map, so he doesn't have to keep the jade and break it! It is more secure to keep the treasure map in mind! "

"Then explain it to me," Zhao Yu asked. "Since Qiu Cheng's son remembers the treasure map, why didn't he take it out himself? Why do you still die in... "

Before Zhao Yu finished speaking, he gave the answer: "yes, there was chaos in the world at that time. Even if he took out the treasure, it was useless!"

"Yes!" Wang Taiming said, "whoever takes out the treasure is of no use! At that time, the most important thing is to keep your life! Unfortunately, Qiu Cheng's descendants didn't even save their lives in the end! "“ Oh... "Zhao Yu realized," so you guys have been thinking about the Golden Buddha and treasure since then! You want to find the treasure map and find the Golden Buddha! Moreover, he chose to keep it secret and make a fortune himself? "“ That's not true! " Tian Dongmin sighed, "we've worked on cultural relics all our life, and we won't be obsessed with treasures! It's just... Alas! Maybe... It was the death of section chief fan that made us have some obsession? We made such a choice! "“ So... How did chief fan Peng die? " Miao Ying quickly asked“ Alas! " Tian Dongmin replied, "let's... At that time, we didn't think too much. We think that finding the clue of the Golden Buddha is also a huge archaeological discovery. When we go back, we naturally have to write the report materials and apply for treasure hunting“ But unexpectedly, on the way back with the samples, we encountered a mountain torrent once in a century in Qinshan“ It's horrible! The flood came to us from all directions. The place where we could walk just now turned into a rolling black river... "We ran and hid in panic, but we were finally washed by the flood and rolled into the water“ Fortunately, there were many vines on the bank. Lao Wang and I climbed onto the bank, leaving only Dong peizhuo and section chief fan, "Tian Dongmin recalled bitterly." section chief fan could have climbed onto the bank directly, but he saw that Dong peizhuo was about to be washed away by the flood, so he went back to save him and let him drag the vines“ However, Dong peizhuo went ashore, but suddenly a big wood rushed into the water, hit chief fan, and knocked him into the middle of the flood“ We were scared and wanted to go down to save people, but we couldn't go down in such a big flood“ Later, we saw that chief fan struggled several times in the water and shouted to us loudly. He shouted, 'Golden Buddha! We must find the Golden Buddha... The Golden Buddha... "Just shout for one or two words, and people will never be found again!" Speaking of this, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying can clearly see that Tian Dongmin's eyes are wet and excited“ After coming back, you can imagine the mental state of old Dong! He doesn't eat or drink. He's lost his soul. He looks like a wandering ghost every day. It's no use persuading anyone! " Wang Taiming continued to tell Tian Dongmin, "later, we two really couldn't see it anymore, so we took the initiative to find him and told him that since chief fan's last wish is to let us help him find the Golden Buddha! So... Why don't we take our own actions and show him the Golden Buddha? Isn't it better to use the Golden Buddha to comfort the spirit in heaven of section chief fan than to live meaninglessly“ After listening, old Dong finally refreshed his spirit and found the meaning of life again! He vowed that he would find the Golden Buddha after exhausting his whole life“ But... "Speaking of this, Wang Taiming suddenly changed his words," but if we want to find the Golden Buddha, there is a difficulty in front of us. Because if we truthfully report the Golden Buddha, the superior will report to the State Administration of cultural relics. Then the task of finding the Golden Buddha will not fall on us“ At that time, if we go to look for the Golden Buddha again, we will have a lot of constraints and concerns. If we don't do well, we will not only lose our job, but also implicate our family and friends“ Therefore, we thought it over and over again, and finally hid it. We decided to use our own strength to find the whereabouts of the Golden Buddha, so as to repay chief fan Peng“ In this way, we embarked on the so-called road of seeking 'Buddha', "Wang Taiming said with tears in his eyes," but unexpectedly, this road is too long. It will take 20 years! Moreover, it is still an irreparable - no way back!
