"Then transporting these treasures down from the mountains would increase the difficulty and risk of exposure exponentially. Didn't the royal family of the previous dynasty consider this?"
Su Yinguang thought about how huge the project would be to transport the treasure down from the towering iceberg.
Could it be done during that period when the royal family of the previous dynasty was themselves in danger?
So considering these two points, Su Yin felt that the so-called treasure spot above was a place where people went to die.
The reason why she was so sure was not just because of the speculation she had just said, but also because of the precognitive dream she had last night.
In the prophetic dream, in order to reach the place where the treasure is hidden, one must pass through that natural moat, and the natural moat is connected by a layer of ice. Just imagine how they transported a large amount of treasure in such a short time. How will the descendants in the future transport it out?
Su Xiaozhong thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense."
Uncle Huo didn't understand. "Why can't they do it? Look at what we encountered since we entered Hulu Valley. These layouts show that the previous dynasty spent a lot of effort on hiding the treasure. It's safer for them to transport the treasure here. It's not normal."
Su Wuming was also confused and felt that what Su Yin said was a little difficult to understand.
Su Xinguang said, "You are wrong. The other party has grasped this mentality. In the eyes of everyone, if it is a treasure, it must be hidden in the best, most hidden, and most difficult place. But since we came into contact with the treasure map, the person who designed the treasure map is very good at playing with human nature."
"He could deliberately make a big fuss about the treasure map, making it extremely difficult for you to decipher it. After you decipher it, you will think that the treasure location revealed by such a complicated treasure map must be real."
"This is the first trap he dug for you."
"When your people follow the direction indicated by the treasure map and walk along the way, and experience numerous dangers and difficulties, they will become more and more certain of the authenticity of the treasure map and the location of the treasure, and will have no doubts about it. This is the second trap the other party has dug for you."
"When you are fooled, I will give you the most fatal blow. I think this final fatal blow is probably on this snowy mountain. This is the third trap he dug for the people behind him."
When talking about the last pit, Su Xin looked at Su Yin with a vague gaze.
Su Yin nodded and added: "These traps don't actually require too much manpower and material resources. All it takes is a person who understands people's hearts to design a set of chain schemes. So it can be done with enough precision and realism."
"But if the treasure really had to be transported to the snowy mountains, the royal family of the previous dynasty would have to spend a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. At that time, the royal family was in danger of losing their power, so it was difficult to do this. The only thing they could do was to use this trick to cover up the true location of the treasure map. At the same time, it was also a guarantee to prevent the treasure map from falling into the hands of non-royal members in the future."
"I'm afraid the royal family of the previous dynasty must have left behind a secret formula, or a 'key' to decrypt the code."
Su Wuming understood the deeper meaning behind this.
After Uncle Huo slowly understood it, he roughly understood it.
"The previous dynasty is too far away from now. I'm afraid that even the descendants of the previous royal family may not know the secret formula to decrypt the code." Su Wuming said.
Uncle Huo then spoke up, "If the location of the treasure is fake, what should we do? Return?"
Su Xiaozhong shook his head, "The place where the treasure is hidden is not necessarily fake."
This sentence confused Uncle Huo and the others.
Is this true or false?
"The treasure spot may be fake, but the treasure location may be here, just placed somewhere else."
Su Xiaozhong pointed to this large area.
And this area is where they are now.
Su Yin nodded in agreement. "They found such a good place, it's impossible that they found a similar treasure hiding place. This is a good place to hide treasure."
This place is deep in the hinterland of Qilian Mountains and is completely uninhabited.
As they talked, the sky outside gradually brightened, and a ray of golden sunlight shone obliquely into the cave. One of the rays of light fell on a dagger on Su Yin's waist, and the light was refracted onto the upper wall of the cave.
Su Yin took a casual glance and her sight was immediately drawn to the cave wall above.
She looked up at the marks above, and immediately stood up to carefully examine the walls of the cave. After gently touching them with her hand, she looked up at the top of the wall again.
The others noticed her actions and followed her gaze to check the cave wall.
"There are traces of artificial excavation here, but over time, many of them have been worn away by some animals and plants."
The caves here are not only chosen by humans to live, but also by many animals.
When I came to this cave yesterday, I just cleaned it a little bit and didn’t observe it carefully.
If I hadn't seen the obvious signs of artificial excavation above, I would have missed it.
"Look for it, maybe there are some clues left here."
Su Xiaozhong spoke and everyone took action.
Su Yin and Su Xinguang walked deeper into the cave at the same time. In fact, the entire cave was not long, about two meters long and less than ten meters wide, which was wide enough to carry things.
The two of them groped the wall of the cave, "Did you find anything?"
"There are bluestone slabs."
"This is something smeared on the bluestone slab."
Su Yin had to admit the wisdom of their predecessors. They were able to find soil that was very similar to the cave wall, or they mixed the paste themselves to make it look like a natural stone wall.
This is somewhat similar to the vine-like guardrails often seen in modern forest scenic spots.
"Dad, there's something here." Su Xinguang spoke and called everyone over.
Five people stood in front of the cave wall and tried to push it, but it didn't move at all.
They searched the cave wall again to see if there was any mechanism. After the five of them searched the cave walls inside and out, they found nothing.
"Do we have to use brute force to break it open?" Su Wuming asked.
It takes time to break it down. If there was gunpowder, this wall could be blown up easily.
"It's laborious to break it open. If there is saltpeter here, there would be a quicker way."
They had no doubts about the method Su Yin proposed.
"Saltpeter?" Su Wuming asked, "Wait a moment."
As he spoke, Su Wuming left the cave and used his lightness skills to jump continuously on the trees in the jungle. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in front of the four people.
After a while, Su Wuming came back with a large piece of ore in his hand. He handed it to Su Yin and said, "Take a look at this, is it?"
After Su Yin looked at it, she nodded and said, "It's saltpeter."
There was surprise in her eyes.
