Chapter 691: Different
Rather than three tombs, it is better to say that there are three rooms, with stone doors blocking the rooms.
And there is a stone tablet in the middle.
When Xia Liang came to the stone tablet, it was already covered with dust.
After wiping off the dust, he found that some words were engraved on the stone tablet.
After reading it carefully, Xia Liang also roughly understood the meaning of the stone tablet.
It means that it is not easy for outsiders to come here.
There are a lot of money and property in the two rooms next to it. Take these things and leave. If you continue to go deeper, you will definitely die.
There is also a signature of "Zhuge Kongming" at the end of the stone tablet.
"This stone tablet should be written by Zhuge Liang."
Xia Liang couldn't help but look at the three rooms next to it. Which tomb owner would deliberately gather the property in the cemetery together and wait for others to take it?
And the inscription only mentioned two rooms, and there was no explanation of what was in the other room.
Weird, too weird!
Before, Xia Liang had an idea that Zhuge Liang welcomed others to rob his tomb. Now that the main tomb chamber has not been found, the other party has erected a monument here, and even stated that all the treasures in the tomb chamber are here, so that people who come in can take them away.
"Could it be that Zhuge Liang just wants to use these treasures in exchange for others not disturbing his body?"
Xia Liang frowned and walked to one of the tomb chambers.
There is a mechanism on the stone door. Just twist it lightly, and the stone door is easily opened.
And when Xia Liang saw the things in the room, he was also a little surprised.
Treasures, a whole room of treasures!
Gold bars and silver blocks filled three dozen boxes. In addition, there are various jades, weapons and the like on the ground.
Then he came to the second room. When he opened it, he found that there were also many treasures here, including many bronzes.
"This..."
Xia Liang raised his eyebrows. If any of the things here are exported, it is worth tens of millions of hao, not to mention tens of millions of hao.
If all the things in these two rooms were taken out, Xia Liang could not imagine their value, but it would be no problem for him to easily own tens of thousands of yuan of wealth.
"There is another room, I don't know what's in it."
Thinking of this, Xia Liang walked towards the third room. The third room was not mentioned on the stone tablet.
In Xia Liang's opinion, it was impossible for Zhuge Liang to forget, and there might be no treasures in the third room.
"Boom..."
With a series of roars, the boulder in the third room slowly rose. Xia Liang shone the flashlight into it, but found that there were indeed no treasures in it, only wooden barrels.
"What are these wooden barrels for?"
Xia Liang was puzzled. When he came to a wooden barrel, a pungent smell swept over.
Looking into the wooden barrel, he found that it was empty. He opened a few more wooden barrels and found that they were still empty.
"Hmm? There seems to be something in this wooden barrel."
Looking at the last wooden barrel, this wooden barrel is heavier than the other wooden barrels.
After opening the wooden barrel, Xia Liang soon saw the black liquid inside, and when he saw the black liquid, Xia Liang showed a surprised look.
"Is this fierce fire oil?"
Fierce fire oil is what we now call petroleum. In ancient times, the period when fierce fire oil was most used was the Five Dynasties and the Song, Jin, Liao and Yuan Dynasties. It was a weapon of war at that time.
The use of fierce fire oil was actually earlier. Xia Liang had seen relevant records in the "Book of Han: Geography" written by Ban Gu, a historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty: Gaonu County has flammable Weishui.
The Weishui mentioned here refers to petroleum, and Gaonu County in the Han Dynasty is in the current Sanqin area, not far from the Qinling Mountains.
It is very likely that this oil was transported by Zhuge Liang from Gaonu County in the Han Dynasty.
"Oh my god, so much fierce fire oil, what is Zhuge Liang going to do?"
Looking at the dozens of wooden barrels in front of him, Xia Liang raised his eyebrows.
Along the way, he didn't encounter fierce fire oil, that is to say, these fierce fire oils are likely to be arranged on the road behind.
He was sure that if he continued to go inside, he would definitely encounter a sea of fire caused by the burning of flaming oil.
"No wonder Zhuge Liang said that if he continued to go inside, he would die. If so much flaming oil burned, it might not be extinguished in three days and three nights."
At this time, Xia Liang already understood why Zhuge Liang did not mention the third room on the stone tablet.
It is very likely that the other party deliberately placed a bucket of flaming oil here. If they found it, they would know the dangers they might encounter later.
Of course, if they did not find it, then there would naturally be only one way to die.
"Cruel, who is as cruel as you!"
Xia Liang secretly smacked his lips, and admired Zhuge Liang's calculations, but looking at the three rooms in front of him, he had more doubts in his heart.
"There is flaming oil in this room, which is a practical warning to people who come here not to go in. The other two rooms are filled with various gold and silver treasures, which is different from the Zhuge Liang recorded in history."
In history, Zhuge Liang once pointed out in a memorial that he had no extra property, only 800 mulberry trees and five hectares of land. Even the clothes he wore were awarded by the court. His sons were self-sufficient and had no extra property.
But looking at the gold and silver treasures in the two rooms in front of him, Xia Liang was also confused. What the hell is there no extra property?
If these gold and silver treasures were taken out, in that war-torn era, Zhuge Liang would not be as rich as a country, but it is estimated that he would be almost as rich.
The most important thing is, how did this guy get so many treasures, not only was he not discovered, but he also left a good reputation for devoting himself to his work until his death in later generations. Xia Liang secretly admired that the other party played this hand beautifully. He seemed to be a poor guy on the surface, but he was actually rich in secret. The key is that there is really oil here.
"Strange, he collected so many treasures just to give them to people who come here?"
Since these treasures are placed here, and there are no traps, this also means that these treasures themselves are not for the other party to bury with him, but for the people who come here.
It's like rewarding those who came here with great difficulty. Don't let these people go home empty-handed.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party wants to spend money to avoid disasters, and hopes that people who come here can take these treasures away and don't disturb his bones.
But this possibility is too low. After all, there are so many treasures before entering the main tomb. Who would give up and continue to explore inside?
"Weird, it's really too weird!"
Xia Liang shook his head. He couldn't guess Zhuge Liang's thoughts at all. Since he saw the "Departure Memorial" in the passage before, there was something weird here.
