Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 341: The old emperor of Nanchu is indeed a nouveau riche

She gently stroked the embroidery on a dragon robe and said:

"Chu embroidery has unique needlework and exquisite color matching. Every stitch and every thread contains the ingenuity of the embroiderers.

Take the golden dragon on this dragon robe, for example. It is embroidered with gold thread. The thickness and direction of the gold thread are carefully considered, which makes the embroidered dragon so lifelike.

Madam Bai raised her head and said:

“As long as you give me some time, I will be able to thoroughly study the techniques of Chu embroidery and restore this art.

With these embroidery samples, I can bring Chu embroidery back to the world."

Master Bai smiled and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Put all these dragon robes and phoenix robes in the box and pack them up and take them away later."

Huangmao opened all the boxes here. The warehouse was full of such boxes. The old emperor of Nanchu was indeed born into a nouveau riche family.

Master Bai raised his hand and opened another box. In an instant, a dazzling golden light hit his face.

A pure gold Qilin ornament half a person's height suddenly caught the eye, with each scale on the Qilin's body clearly visible.

The Qilin holds its head high and glares fiercely, its four hooves galloping, and two pigeon-blood rubies are embedded in its eye sockets.

The box next to it was filled with stacks of ceramic vases.

One of them is a uniquely shaped double-handled vase with strange auspicious beasts and swirling fairy clouds painted on the bottle body.

Each color is rich and bright, the glaze is thick and lustrous, and when tapped gently, it makes a crisp and pleasant sound.

He opened another box, which was filled with various gold ornaments.

A gold necklace as thick as an arm, the chain body is made up of countless small gold rings linked together.

Adjacent to it is a phoenix crown inlaid with countless tiny rubies.

Lin Wanwan was stunned. She picked up an object at random, and it was either made of pure gold or inlaid with gold and gems.

Those bottles are even more colorful and eye-catching, with bright red, green, bright yellow and bright purple. When matched together, they are tacky yet gorgeous in a different way, making people unable to take their eyes off them.

In addition to these dazzling gold and silver objects, there are also many precious ornaments, each of which exudes a luxurious atmosphere.

What surprised her most were the ancient books. Although the pages were yellowed, they were well preserved.

Lin Wanwan sighed inwardly, this warehouse must have moved all the essence of the Nanchu Dynasty's warehouse, and each item is priceless.

Master Bai looked at the mountain of treasure and waved his hand, saying, "Take everything away. Be careful with those bottles; don't knock or bump them!"

Everyone took action immediately, and fortunately they found a few carts quickly.

This cart is made of rare ebony unique to Nanchu. The wood is hard and fine, with beautiful and elegant texture and a faint fragrance.

Ebony is extremely precious, and using it to make carts shows the extravagance of the royal family of Southern Chu.

Everyone moved the treasures onto the cart one by one, handling the porcelain with care, wrapping the ancient books properly, and placing the gold jewelry neatly.

With each trip back and forth, the things in the warehouse gradually decreased, but even so, it still took hundreds of trips back and forth to move all the treasures out.

When the last batch of treasures was transported to the village, Master Bai stood in the middle of the hall, looked around, and said with a wry smile, "I used to think our village was quite large and spacious, but after putting all these treasures in it, it suddenly seems pitifully small."

He looked at the food stored nearby, pondered for a moment, and said:

“These grains have been preserved for so many years, they should still be edible.

Let's see how long this food will last us, and if there's any left, we can give it to the disaster victims outside."

Li Dongyang nodded and said, "I'll calculate it when the time comes. Even if this food is enough to eat, it won't be suitable to store it for a long time."

"Yes, you can do whatever you want when the time comes! But the most urgent thing is that we should dig a cellar to store these things!" Master Bai was a little worried. With so many things, it would be unsafe to put them anywhere.

Naitang made a few "squeaking" sounds and pulled Mr. Bai's trouser legs, and Mr. Bai followed.

When they arrived at the place, Toffee stopped and scratched an inconspicuous stone with his claws.

Master Bai went closer to check and found a hidden mechanism next to the stone. He reached out and pressed the switch. With a loud bang, the ground slowly cracked open, revealing a staircase extending downwards.

Everyone was shocked. No one had expected that there was such a place hidden in this mountain village.

There are dozens of rooms arranged in a circle, each with an arched stone door.

Looking closely, the room was filled with all kinds of shelves, all made of mahogany.

These shelves are of simple shape and carved with intricate patterns. Once upon a time, they must have been filled with rare treasures, gold, silver, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which must have been a dazzling array.

However, at this moment, the shelves were empty, leaving only traces of dust.

In the corner, there were some weapons piled up, with swords, knives, and spears scattered all over the place.

These weapons are all rusty, the swords are covered with rust, the blades are no longer sharp, and the gun tips have long been blunt.

Wang Fa coughed and said, "Goodness! Why does this feel so wrong? Is this just an ordinary cottage?"

Master Bai also shook his head and said, "Yes, this is definitely not an ordinary stronghold. Let's see if there are any clues."

Liu Yanshi suddenly said, "This is indeed not an ordinary stronghold. Look at these weapons. They should all belong to Nanchu."

The weapons of Nanchu are very distinctive, with slender swords and smooth lines. Both sides of the blades are often engraved with complex and detailed runes, which are not simple decorations.

Rather, it is part of Nanchu's unique sword-making process, which is said to enhance the toughness and sharpness of the sword.

The shape of the knife is broad and majestic, and the handle is often inlaid with jade with a warm color, which is not only beautiful but also prevents slipping when holding.

The spear's shaft is made of tough wood unique to Southern Chu and has been specially treated to make it light and not easy to break.

The spear tassel is made of high-quality red yak tail hair, which is bright in color and looks like flying flames when dancing.

Liu Yanshi then speculated:

"This should be where the remnants of Southern Chu once stayed, judging by the number and types of these weapons.

This place may have been a secret stronghold of the remnants of Southern Chu. They hid and stationed troops here, trying to wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.

But for some reason, they eventually gave up this place, perhaps because they were forced by the imperial court, or perhaps because of internal disputes."

After Liu Yanshi finished speaking, he no longer cared about anything else and began to study these weapons seriously. The obsession in his eyes could not be hidden.

Liu Quanzhou looked at him with disdain and said, "That's all you can do. That means this is a stronghold left behind by the former Southern Chu Dynasty. What went wrong? Those Southern Chu Dynasty..."

Then Li Dongyang said loudly: "There are still a few books left here. I flipped through them and found records about this..."
