Like the two floors above, the third-floor basement is also filled with densely packed brick and stone shelves. On these brick and stone shelves, there are sarcophagi. On the lid of each sarcophagus is a human figure carved. Yang Jing knows that this human figure sculpture is actually the posture of the person in the coffin before his death.
This cathedral covers a large area, so the area of the underground crypt is not small either. It is estimated that there are hundreds of such sarcophagi on each floor.
So many sarcophagi are densely packed together, coupled with the damp and cold air here, it really gives people a chilling feeling...
If it were any other time, Yang Jing would never come to such a place for nothing, but this time he came here for other purposes, so he simply stopped focusing his attention on these sarcophagi and walked towards the location where the precious light was emerging.
The priest who came down with them went back on the second floor on the pretext of having something to do. It seems that even the priest of the church is unwilling to come to such a place. And it is estimated that the priest is also very clear about the situation down there. There are only sarcophagi down there, and there is nothing to see at all. Even if he does not need to follow these three people, he is not worried that these three people can cause any trouble down there.
The priest did not follow, which greatly facilitated Yang Jing's actions. So after arriving at the third floor, he only delayed a little and walked to a corner in the northeast corner of the basement, because the precious light came out from this position.
This church has existed for more than a hundred years, so the basement has long been filled with sarcophagi. Even the northeastern corner of the third floor is filled with sarcophagi.
However, when he got here, Yang Jing could clearly see the location where the treasure light came out. To Yang Jing's surprise, these treasures were not placed in the sarcophagus as he guessed, but were actually inside the wall!
Obviously, after the Japanese occupied Lavague, this most luxurious church naturally became an important stronghold for the Japanese. However, after the Japanese surrendered, the treasures that they did not have time to take away were hidden in the basement of the cathedral by the Japanese.
However, in order to prevent these treasures from being discovered by others, the Japanese did not put the treasures in the sarcophagi. Instead, they chiseled open the wall of the basement in the northeast corner of the third floor of the basement, dug out an extra basement, put the treasures in it, and then sealed the basement wall from the outside.
In this way, with the sarcophagus and the wall outside as cover, no one would have thought that there were so many treasures hidden in this place!
If Yang Jing didn't have the skill of the third eye and discovered the slightly leaked treasure light, he would not have thought that there would be treasure hidden in such a place!
All I can say is that the Japs are very cunning!
Obviously, the Japanese knew that even if they were defeated, the Americans would not doubt these ancient churches after they took over the Philippines. Because of their faith, the Americans were busy protecting these churches, so how could they destroy them? Therefore, hiding the treasures under the church was the safest.
It is estimated that there are quite a few Japanese devils who hold this idea, otherwise there would not be a large number of treasures buried under the Catholic church in San Fernando.
The treasures hidden under the two churches were not discovered by the Americans. Of course, this may also have a lot to do with the fact that the information about the two hidden locations has not been leaked. Yang Jing is even sure that the defeated Japanese would not tell anyone about such hidden locations. After all, such places can hide a large number of treasures, which are likely to be collected from several places and hidden together.
Even among the high-ranking officials of the Japanese army, few people probably know about this hidden place.
I just don't know how Alfred got such accurate information back then, even marking the coordinates of the location.
It was a pity that Alfred, the leader of the three great men of the DuPont family's revival, had spent a lot of effort to find these eight hidden locations, but he did not have time to dig them up, and in the end, they all fell into the hands of Yang Jing.
"There are a lot of treasures buried underground in two of the eight locations. Does that mean that the Japanese buried treasures in more than just these two churches? Perhaps there are also a lot of treasures buried underground in some churches in big cities like Manila, Batangas, Davao, and Cebu? Well, this possibility is actually very high. Should we wait for a chance to go to the churches in those big cities and take a look?"
Yang Jing stroked his chin and thought, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up...
PS: I would like to bow to thank "First Kiss Was Given to the Hand" for the reward of 500, and "Very Lazy Fish" and "Little Fish 62" for the reward of 100.
