Chapter 112 Southern Jin Treasure
Xiao Yibai said, "These things should be left over from the previous dynasty. Most of the utensils and objects are from the Southern Jin Dynasty, and some are from before the Southern Jin Dynasty. So over a long period of time, these wooden boxes have fallen apart. Most of the ones that haven't fallen apart contain objects of little weight."
Mu Xiyue had read the local history books. The Southern Jin Dynasty preceded the Tianqi Kingdom. The Southern Jin Dynasty was extremely prosperous in its middle period, even ensuring adequate food and clothing for the people. However, the last two emperors were increasingly incompetent, especially the last Southern Jin emperor, who indulged in debauchery and licentiousness. To satisfy his extravagant lifestyle, he repeatedly raised taxes until the people suffered unbearably. Ultimately, it was Xiao Yibai's ancestor, then a general who defended the country, who overthrew the Southern Jin Dynasty and established the Tianqi Kingdom.
Therefore, it is reasonable that a family in the Southern Jin Dynasty would hide such a large number of treasures here.
Xiao Yibai walked over to a wooden box and took out a vase. "These should be from the collection of the Southern Jin Dynasty royal family. This kind of thing is used exclusively by the royal family, and almost one-third of the artifacts here are used exclusively by the royal family. You can collect all these, and I'll have someone make a batch of boxes for them later. When I have some free time, I can slowly sort them out with you."
"Okay, I'll put them all away. Just tell me if you need them."
Xiao Yibai didn't emphasize the fact that all of this had been given to her. He just smiled and said, "Okay, do you want that luminous stone? We'll go dig some and make them into night-shining pearls for your bedroom. It's best not to take out the things in your space on weekdays."
Mu Xiyue naturally wouldn't normally use modern things. Xiao Yibai said this, and Mu Xiyue nodded in agreement, "Okay, then go dig some. Is that luminous stone easy to dig? Is it hard?"
"It's much harder than ordinary night pearls. I have a dagger made of black iron that can dig it out."
Mu Xiyue's wind blade could easily slice through bricks, but it couldn't cut through metal. If the luminous stone was made of something like Flower Steel Rock, the wind blade definitely wouldn't be able to cut through it. However, she also had an alloy steel knife in her space. It was only a palm's length, but it was extremely sharp and hard. It was a trophy she had captured from killing a small gang leader.
Xiao Yibai took her on a winding journey for half an hour, and the roads they took were all roads they had never walked on before.
Mu Xiyue, who believed that she would never forget the way as long as she walked it once, was actually confused.
"Xiao Yibai, if you leave me here now, I probably won't be able to find the exit by myself."
Xiao Yibai opened another mechanism, "Silly boy, how could I bear to leave you alone? Behind this cave is the secret room where I hid those things. This kind of luminous stone can only be found in this area."
So they came around to the back of the secret room. This cave hall was the largest cave hall Mu Xiyue had seen in the cave below. Although the cave hall was very large, the walls were covered with luminous stones, so the scene inside was still clearly visible.
The glowing stone seemed to be embedded in the cave wall. Mu Xiyue tried to cut it with the wind blade, but couldn't do it. She then took out an alloy steel knife to pry it open, but still couldn't do it. Xiao Yibai pried off two pieces in a short time, just like cutting cabbage.
Mu Xiyue injected the wind power into the steel knife and pried it open. This time, she was able to cut. Although it was not as smooth as Xiao Yibai, she was still able to cut.
The two men cut off a dozen or so pieces and then stopped. It was enough for their own use. If they really polished it and sold it, it would definitely be valuable, but they already had more silver than they could spend, so there was no need to sell the stone.
Mu Xiyue looked at the glowing stone on the ground and said, "Did you always polish it into a round shape before? Actually, it doesn't have to be round, a square shape will do. It will be stable on the table."
Xiao Yibai gestured for her to put all the stones away. "I made a few round ones. I gave one to Father and my sixth brother took one. I have two round ones and two square ones for my room."
Mu Xiyue picked up the stones on the ground and said, "Let's go! You really have a treasure trove here. Even if you run out of money in the future, you can get some luminous stones and polish them into night pearls, which will definitely sell for a lot of silver. I wonder if there is such a cave in my farm."
The two villages are five miles apart. There is a very thin soil layer for two or three miles in the middle, and there is a rock layer underneath, so there are no other villages or fertile fields between the two villages.
"We can go back and take a look, but I don't think there's any. If there was, the people at your farm would have known about it long ago. This cave goes deep into the mountain, and there's no other exit except the one we spent the night in last night."
The two did not return to the valley where they spent the night. After wandering around in the cave for about half a day, Xiao Yibai took her out.
There was no one guarding the lakeside, but there was a bamboo rack with two coats hanging on it, for the two men to wear when they came ashore. This was Xiao Yibai's order before he went into the water. In summer, people wear thin clothes, and coming out of the water with wet clothes sticking to their bodies would look very uncouth.
When they returned to the yard, the servants attentively brought hot water to the two of them. After Mu Xiyue took a shower and changed her clothes, a servant came over to invite her to have dinner.
Xiao Yibai was the only one sitting in the dining hall. Mu Xiyue hadn't seen Xiao Tao since she came out of the cave.
Xiao Yibai seemed to know what she was thinking. "Xiao Tao and Qi Yun went hunting in the mountains. There are no wild beasts on this side of the mountain, but there are a lot of rabbits and pheasants. If you go deeper, you can also find wild boars. If you are lucky, you can even hunt roe deer."
"Really? Now that I've mentioned that, I'm interested. How about we go hunting in the mountains this afternoon? I haven't hunted since I came to Shangjing. I was thinking of going to the mountains in the south to catch some wolf cubs or tiger cubs to raise, but then I ran into some private soldiers and failed to catch any. No, I'll go back in a few days and see if I can catch a few to raise."
Xiao Yibai placed a piece of fish in her bowl and said with a smile, "Well, we'll go into the mountains this afternoon. But don't go to Prison Beast Mountain. I'll send a message to the people guarding the mines over there to look for it for you. You might not be able to find it if you go there alone."
Okay, Mu Xiyue thought about it and it made sense, so let’s wait for a while before talking about it.
After lunch, the two of them went into the mountains. The nearest road up the mountain was between Mu Xiyue's farm and this farm. There was a stream running from top to bottom, with man-made stairs on the side. It was a mountain road built by the government specifically for nearby villagers to go up the mountain to chop firewood. However, the mountain road was very steep and not easy to walk on.
Mu Xiyue didn't necessarily want to hunt something, she just wanted to have fun. They were accompanied by eight secret guards, so they naturally got a lot, but they didn't encounter the roe deer that Xiao Yibai mentioned.
After playing in the mountains for more than an hour, Mu Xiyue was about to go down when she heard Xiao Tao's voice. She made a gesture to silence everyone.
Xiao Yibai watched Mu Xiyue tiptoeing towards the direction where the sound came from. He walked up to her with amusement, put his arms around her waist, and flew up a big tree.
It was indeed Qiyun and Xiaotao. Qiyun was holding a few rabbits in his hands and a prey on his back, while Xiaotao was pulling a wild boar. Judging from the size of the wild boar, Xiaotao must have been exhausted from dragging it, so the two stopped to rest.
