Chapter 1257 Treasure
Du Fei and Ci Xin came to the basement of the temple.
The darkness does not affect their sight, and the underground organs have also been destroyed. Now they only need to pay attention to avoid the poisoning place.
The most obvious sign of these places are dead rats.
Du Fei unhurriedly came to the door of the nearest secret room.
A wooden and iron-clad gate blocked the doorway.
It was useless for Du Fei to do anything, and Ci Xin stepped forward to push the Demon Pestle forward.
She didn't use too much force, the latch inside had already been bitten off by Xiao Hong, the door "creaked" and slowly opened, hitting the wall with a bang
Inside is a space more than four meters wide and six meters long.
I don't know how long it hasn't been opened, and everything inside is covered with thick dust.
There are two rows of wooden shelves along the left and right sides of the room, on which there are countless treasures.
The eyes are all gold, all kinds of utensils, and statues, inlaid with gems of various colors.
In the innermost part of the secret room, there is a box along the corner. The box cover is not closed, and it is full of gold coins.
These gold coins were not only minted locally, but also brought by the Spanish and grape-eyed colonists.
Du Fei was not polite, he went straight in, stretched out his hand and waved beside the wooden frame, and put a piece of treasure into his carry-on space.
Before coming here, Du Fei made a special effort to organize the portable space, just because he was afraid that it would not be enough at critical times.
Now, except for some necessary things, most of them are munitions, which take up about one-third of the space.
Although the mercenaries with Du Fei were all armed to the teeth, they were marching on foot after all, and their load was limited.
It's okay to deal with ordinary enemies, but once you encounter heavy weapons, you will be stretched.
After searching all the gold and treasures in this secret room, Du Fei checked the portable space.
If the value of art and cultural relics of these treasures is not counted, but only by the weight of gold, there are nearly ten tons of gold in this secret room alone.
A smile appeared on Du Fei's face, and he went directly to the second secret room.
This is the opposite door of the secret room just now, and there is no other situation, it is almost the same as before.
With a bang, the door of the secret room opened and hit the wall.
The inside is still full of gold, but it is different from the first secret room. In the place facing the door of the secret room, there is a box full of gold coins in the first secret room, but here is a box full of gold coins. As tall as half a person, a solid elephant sculpture cast entirely in gold!
Du Fei couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Before he crossed over, when he saw this news, he mentioned the statue of the golden elephant.
It's a pity that there are no photos, so I can only imagine what this golden elephant looks like.
Now I have a chance to see the real face.
Du Fei walked over and wiped the dust off the golden elephant's head. The statue of the elephant was about one meter high. The trunk of the elephant hung straight down, and the eyes were inlaid with sapphires.
In the darkness, Du Fei couldn't help but look at the elephant a few more times.
Especially the gems on the elephant's eyes seem to hide some kind of weird power.
Du Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a thought, he put the golden elephant in his portable space.
Suddenly there was a bang, and Du Fei felt his portable space vibrate.
I collected so many gold objects and precious stones in these two secret rooms before, but I didn't have such a big reaction.
With this golden elephant in the portable space, it's like adding a handful of mints to Coke.
The entire portable space vibrated violently, the white light ball that was originally suspended in the center of the space began to rotate rapidly, and the blue light band surrounding the white light ball also accelerated its rotation, as if it had been beaten with chicken blood, and flew around.
Du Fei could feel that a huge amount of energy was released from this golden elephant, directly causing the boundary of the portable space to expand outward rapidly.
Just a few breaths, the radius of the space extended three or four meters.
Feeling that the total volume of the portable space has nearly doubled, the white light and blue light in this golden elephant no longer leak out violently.
At the same time, Du Fei also felt that there seemed to be something else in this golden elephant.
That feeling is somewhat similar to the feeling when I saw the statue of Vishnu when I entered the temple just now.
But in the portable space, no matter what is wrong with this golden elephant, it will not help.
In the blink of an eye, the energy contained in it was exhausted, and the strange aura contained in it also disappeared.
Du Fei didn't care about these, whether it was the statue of Vishnu enshrined on the temple or the golden elephant statue, if they were placed in ancient times, due to low productivity, people really couldn't deal with them.
But now, with thermal weapons becoming more powerful, times have completely changed.
If it was hundreds of years earlier, with the current strength of compassion, it would definitely be worshiped as a god.
But now, in the face of a powerful war machine, even if it is as strong as compassion, it is impossible to be unscrupulous.
What's more, these things left in the corners.
After coming out of the second secret room, Du Fei immediately came to the third secret room.
According to the young man just now, there are only two secret rooms under the temple.
But before Du Fei was reborn, he saw news that there were four secret chambers under the temple.
But now under the temple, through Xiaohong and Xiaohui's investigation, there are more than four secret rooms!
In addition to these four secret rooms, there are actually two more secret real secret rooms.
Du Fei collected the gold treasures from the other two secret rooms, and finally came to the fifth room, which was also the first real secret room.
In fact, the first four rooms, strictly speaking, cannot be called secret rooms at all.
From the stairs, you can see the door directly, and it is there.
Only the last two rooms do not have 'doors'!
It can only be opened through secret organs.
Du Fei couldn't help it, and the released mouse quickly found the mechanism hidden in the wall.
Then, logically, the entrances to the two secret rooms were all found out.
These two secret rooms are smaller than the previous four rooms, and the things stored in them are different.
The previous four rooms were filled with various utensils, which were obviously offerings to the gods.
But in the last two rooms, one of them is full of boxes of ancient gold coins, filling a room full!
The location of Kerala was originally an important hub of ancient East-West trade, from the earliest Arab merchants to modern European colonists.
East-West trade brought untold profits to the royal family of Kerala.
Du Fei collected these gold coins, which are roughly estimated to be more than [-] tons. The time span is very large. The earliest can be traced back to the [-]th century, and the latest is the gold pound issued by Yingguo in the [-]th century.
And in another secret room, it is also filled with gold, but it is no longer gold coins, but gold ingots one by one!
There are 50 taels, [-] taels, and gold cakes, which are bigger and have Chinese characters on them.
Looking at the date of the Yuan Dynasty, the earliest is the Yuan Dynasty, and the most recent is the Xianfeng Year of the Qing Dynasty.
After reading these two secret rooms, Du Fei probably guessed what was going on.
The first four rooms should be tributes offered by believers, while the last two secret rooms are the past royal family, which stored their wealth here.
No wonder the temple that originally belonged to the Tubang royal family was suddenly closed.
It should be that the royal family realized that a major change might occur and their family's wealth would be threatened, so they hid here secretly.
I have to say that Indu is really rich. If this little-known king of Kerala is really counted, the total value of his wealth is still higher than that of the king of Hyderabad.
However, this is not important to Du Fei anymore, these things belong to him now.
With a sudden thought, he put the last box of gold into his portable space.
Du Fei could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The purpose of his personal visit to India this time is these golden treasures.
Although the exact amount is not yet known, Du Fei estimates that the total value of the treasures in the six secret rooms will not be less than 20 billion US dollars.
Don't underestimate the 20 billion. In this era, even for the country, 20 billion is a huge sum of money.
Moreover, the 20 billion is not an asset, but a hard currency, which can be used as a reserve in the bank to directly issue currency.
With this financial support, Du Fei has financial support for his next plan to develop the Kingdom of Sarawak.
At that time, all kinds of assembly and processing plants that stay on the planning map can become a reality.
Through these assembly plants, domestic components can be turned into consumer goods, which can be directly consumed locally in Nanyang in the south, and exported to Big Goose in the north through Beigaoli.
In this day and age, there are no technical thresholds for home appliances. As long as a better design is made, the same performance will look better, and the price will be cheaper, so it will naturally sell well.
While thinking about it, Du Fei prepared to take Xiao Hong, Xiao Hui and those mice back.
But at this moment, there was a sudden "da da da" gunshot.
Du Fei's heart trembled, he immediately opened his vision, and synchronized to Xiao Hei in the air.
Condescending, the entire temple and the surrounding scene are revealed.
The gunshots just now came from the southeast.
Because the temple is surrounded by dense jungle, even if you look down from a high position, you can't completely penetrate the dense tree canopy.
So the crows on alert in the air did not notice anyone nearby.
It wasn't until the gunshot that Du Fei realized through the synchronization of his vision that some figures were approaching vaguely, and there were quite a few of them!
At this time, the mercenaries who were alarmed by the gunfire immediately reacted and began to shoot back.
However, at the next moment, Du Fei suddenly discovered that there were figures shaking in another direction!
Immediately understood, it turned out to be a sudden attack, using gunshots to attract attention and then flanking from behind.
The gunfire was intense, and the exchange of fire was extremely intense.
The mercenaries brought by Du Fei are undoubtedly elite, but the enemy has the superiority in numbers, not counting the counterfeiting from behind, the frontal enemy alone can have hundreds of people.
Fortunately, these people's firepower is insufficient, there are only two automatic rifles that can fire continuously, and the others are old-fashioned bolt-action rifles.
On the contrary, the mercenaries on Du Fei's side, all equipped with automatic weapons and individual bazookas, quickly gained the upper hand...
Du Fei and Ci Xin came up from below, Wei Chenggong had already gone outside to direct the battle, Song Zhenzhu stayed here, saw the two of them, and immediately stepped forward.
Without waiting for her to speak, Du Fei said directly: "There is an outflank behind you."
Although Song Zhenzhu is young and has little experience in the battlefield, she was born for the battlefield.
In less than two years, he has grown up and can stand on his own.
Hearing Du Fei's reminder, he immediately responded, and then called out: "Lao Zhang, Mike, Hakiz...follow me~"
The three people whose names were called came over immediately. Each of them was accompanied by two people, forming a combat team. Together with Song Zhenzhu as the leader, it happened to be an infantry squad.
Going out from the gate of the temple, more intense gunshots soon came.
Du Fei and Ci Xin also left the temple.
In this situation, Compassionate did not act rashly, her only task now is to protect Du Fei's safety.
Du Fei glanced at Song Zhenzhu's side.
Song Zhenzhu poured out firepower without hesitation, and at the moment Du Fei looked over, two bazookas were launched.
There were two loud bangs, and two fireballs exploded tens of meters away.
Followed by several more grenades, the momentum of the opponent's advance was instantly strangled.
In any battle, it is the real main force who often perform roundabout outflanking tasks, let alone take it lightly.
At this time, Wei Chenggong came over quickly, panting: "There are a lot of enemies..."
Du Fei understood what he meant, the mercenary team around him only had more than 20 people, and they couldn't afford to fight a war of attrition.
He nodded and said, "As originally planned, let's go."
Du Fei didn't plan to go back the same way.
There were more than 1000 people when they came, and there was a lot of commotion.
It would be fine to pay it back quietly afterwards, but Eagle led more than 1000 mercenaries to kill.
No matter how dull he was, he should have guessed what was going on.
The Indu people also know that it is not too late to remedy the situation.
It is no longer safe to go back the same way.
Therefore, Du Fei's retreat plan at the beginning was to directly cross the southernmost tip of the subcontinent to the east coast after obtaining the treasure of the Padmana Temple.
Then take a boat across the Palk Strait, and it is only a few dozen kilometers to Sri Lanka.
The straight-line distance from Padmana Temple to the east coast is about 220 kilometers.
First stop was Utamapa.
This is a small town with thousands of people. Eagle made arrangements here before. There is a secret stronghold and two cars left.
If all goes well, it takes only a day to drive from Utamapa to the East Coast.
After receiving the retreat order, Wei Chenggong breathed a sigh of relief.
What he is most afraid of now is that Du Fei's purpose of coming here has not been achieved, and he needs to lead someone to defend for a period of time.
The enemy's firepower is not weak, it should be the power left by the princely family of Kerala in the past to protect the Padmana Temple.
These people are not at all like the paper Indian army. They showed a strong combat effectiveness just after the exchange of fire, and they are quite brave and fearless.
Being attacked by two sides again, if the delay is too long, sooner or later the more than 20 people under him will be exhausted.
Wei Chenggong is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of Du Fei's troubles.
Wei Sanye moved to Nanyang, and the honor, disgrace and wealth of his family rested on Du Fei. If there was an accident, the consequences would be disastrous.
Now that he was leaving, Wei Chenggong heaved a sigh of relief and no longer had to think about ammunition consumption.
After finishing this battle and arriving in Utamapa, you will get new supplies.
Immediately shouted: "Prepare the bazooka for me!"
