The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

A month later, Yang Jiayan's daily profit was around 1500, and the whole restaurant had its own habits no matter what it did, Yang Dongxu was finally free and didn't have to go to the restaurant to stare.

"Dong'anfu Hutong? Where are you going? Someone sold the yard again?" Yang Dongxu asked in surprise.

"That big yard you bought is going to be kept like that?" Old man Xuan took a sip from the small teapot the size of a palm in his hand.

During these days, he has become more and more prosperous. Half a month ago, he did not know where to get a set of purple sand pots and kept them as treasures. Yang Dongxu didn't even want to touch them. This made Yang Dongxu think to himself more than once, I don't know how many people have used such an old thing, so I don't care about it.

"Let's put it away for now. The place is too big. Let's not talk about how much it will cost to renovate. It will look empty if all of us live in it? By the way, what is the origin of the old man who bought the house?" Yang Dongxu said lazily. Leaning on the sun lounger on the mountain, the sun after the spring makes people always want to sleep.

Yang Dongxu, the original owner of the house, had been curious for a long time, but he never had the chance to ask. Even if Yang Dongxu is a layman with antiques in courtyard houses, he still knows that the Guangliang gate is not something that ordinary people are qualified to use.

"Imperial Merchant." Old Man Xuan spit out two words simply and directly.

"So awesome?" Yang Dongxu's squinted eyes suddenly opened, he turned his head to look at the old man Xuan who was drinking tea leisurely, and asked after a while, "Is there any point in asking me to buy that yard?"

Now Yang Dongxu understood why the house owner, whose ancestors were all businessmen, could buy such a large yard in Dong'anfu Hutong, and the gate could use such a high specification.

"Fortunately, you're not so stupid. You think I let you buy that crappy place just because I know the owner and want to help him?" Old man Xuan blinked at Yang Dongxu with a meaningful smile on his face.

There is really a secret, Yang Dongxu sat up from the recliner with a groan, and came to the back of old man Xuan with a look of hospitality, first he squeezed his shoulders, then he beat his back in a doggy posture.

"People like you were most suitable to be sent to the palace as eunuchs in the past." Old Man Xuan glanced at Yang Dongxu.

I didn't call Wu Aibing, I went out and called for a bright cart, and the two went straight to Dong'anfu Hutong. Before leaving, old man Xuan carried two flashlights in his arms.

Without going through the gate, the two of them entered the yard from the side door. It had already been spring for a while, so the weeds in the yard began to sprout tender buds, revealing their vitality in a panic. Regardless of other things, they walked directly through the large courtyard, and the two of them came to the back room in the last row.

Except for the back wall, the house was basically collapsed, leaving only the broken eaves and walls on the ground. Old man Xuan stood at the door of the house on the east side that hadn't completely collapsed and took a look, then he crawled inside like a cat.

"I'll go, old man Xuan, this place won't fall and beat us to death, will it?" Yang Dongxu, who gritted his teeth and followed, looked at the slightly sloping roof above his head, and waved his hands to clean up the spider webs in front of him.

"It's just right, you can stay underground and be a bastard." Old man Xuan said horizontally, walked around the dusty room, came to a lamp holder, took a few steps to the left from the lamp holder, and then Turn around and change direction and measure again. Finally he crouched down in front of a dusty floor.

"Why are you still standing there in a daze? Why don't you come over and give me a hand." Seeing Yang Dongxu shrinking his head and standing aside, ready to rush out at any time, Old Man Xuan yelled.

"Oh oh oh, here it is, here it is." Yang Dongxu hurried over, looked around and found a piece of tattered rag that had been there for an unknown number of years, and followed Old Man Xuan to clean up the ground, while Cleaning up Yang Dongxu looked at old man Xuan with sparkling eyes: "Is there a baby here?"

"Nonsense, of course there is a baby, or you will bring you here for the sake of the old man?"

"You always rest, you always rest, how can you do this kind of rough work, I will do it, I will do it." Yang Dongxu erupted with enthusiasm like a volcanic eruption in an instant, and his body seemed to start a small motor. Hulala cleared a large piece of the ground.

"Leave a way." Seeing that the cleaning was almost done, the old man Xuan waved to Yang Dongxu, and then walked to the lamp holder and twisted for a while.

Yang Dongxu, who had moved out of the way, only heard a click, as if something was opened, but after the sound, he looked at the slate, and then looked around, as if there was nothing different.

"Is the mechanism broken?" Yang Dongxu scratched his head and looked at old man Xuan.

"You're broken, it won't be broken." The old man Xuan snorted, walked to the cleaned floor and stomped on the stone slabs on the ground. Under Yang Dongxu's incredulous eyes, the big stone slab that had been cleaned It turned up.

The stone slab was two meters wide and three meters long, and when it was tilted up, a large black hole was revealed. Yang Dongxu looked at the edge of the stone slab, it was a recessed stone trough, and looked down at the edge of the hole where there were obvious protrusions I took it back.

"How did you do this?" Yang Dongxu looked at the lamp holder a few meters away, and then at the stone slab in front of him with a look of astonishment.

Although he had seen many mechanisms in ancient tombs in movies and TV shows, and some of them looked even better than the intelligent and automated sensor doors of later generations, he still couldn't help being a little shocked when he saw such mechanisms with his own eyes.

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Old man Xuan glared at Yang Dongxu angrily, then turned on the flashlight, bent over and walked from the raised stone slab to the exposed hole.

Yang Dongxu didn't hesitate to follow after Old Man Xuan took a few steps down, but his heart couldn't help beating wildly looking at the pitch-black place below, "There won't be a python or something inside here, right?"

"The entire basement is sealed with granite, and the air vents on it are at most the thickness of chopsticks. Not to mention pythons and even mice can't get in. Moreover, the granite has been soaked in potions before use, and the bugs that can get in will be harmless. near here."

Old man Xuan took a flashlight to take a picture inside, and then walked down, not worried at all about the lack of oxygen inside. Going down a few more steps, the old man Xuan stretched out his hand to lift up, and the stone slab that had been sinking in front of them was lifted up, only to hear a click, the stone slab returned to its original position, and there was no light shining in.

Looking at the closed hole, I raised my head and took a closer look with the flashlight. I was stunned that this thing is quite advanced, so I followed old man Xuan and started to walk down.

The steps in the cave are a bit steep, but they are more than two meters wide like the stone slab above the head, so walking does not feel too depressing. After walking down for about ten meters, Yang Dongxu estimated that according to the steepness of the steps, he would come to At a depth of five meters underground, the steps came to an end.

Putting the flashlight under his arm, old man Xuan took out a box of matches from his pocket and lit them with a click. Afterwards, a ball of yellowish light lit up in the basement. He walked around with the flashlight in one hand and the oil lamp in the other. , The originally dark basement instantly lit up.

"Eternal lamp?" Yang Dongxu asked in surprise, looking at the lamps full of ancient beauty around him.

"Stupid eternal lamp, the eternal lamp is for the dead, okay? As long as it is in a ventilated place, it will ignite. If this is an eternal lamp, it will burn out by now." Old man Xuan glanced at Yang Dongxu.

Yang Dongxu touched his nose in embarrassment, and then realized that the everlasting lamps in the ancient tomb are made of phosphorus or something. When the ancient tomb is closed, the air inside is exhausted and extinguished. When the ancient tomb is opened again, the air flows into the everlasting lamp. It will automatically ignite when it meets air. .

So the legend that the ever-burning lamp in the cemetery will never go out for thousands of years has been left behind. But the huge stone room in front of him obviously has vents, and the air in the ground can circulate. These lamps are obviously just ordinary oil lamps.

As the old man Xuan kept walking, the oil lamp in the stone room was gradually lit. Yang Dongxu's eyes grew bigger and bigger, and his mouth grew bigger and bigger, looking like a ghost.

"How big is this?" When they came to the center of the stone room and looked up, it was at least about 20 meters high, because there were several steps for each distance they walked forward, so the stone room extended down layer by layer.

The whole stone room is like a circular awl shape, like an inverted terraced field, with several large wooden shelves inlaid on each floor. It was obviously a huge warehouse before, but unfortunately the wooden shelves are empty.

"Except for the pond in the yard, the ground floor has been hollowed out from the back house to the front gate of the house." Old Man Xuan pointed to the stone wall not far away, which had apparently bitten off a piece of the upside-down awl-shaped terrace.

"Where are these things?" Yang Dongxu swallowed while looking around in shock.

"Things have been emptied a long time ago. Otherwise, you kid thought you could buy this place with that much money? In the past, you wouldn't even be able to buy a wooden shelf here with your little money, let alone one that cost so much. The underground stone room built with all my strength." Old man Xuan patted the wooden frame in front of him with a look of reminiscence on his face.

"These wooden shelves..." Yang Dongxu went to the wooden shelf and touched it with his hands. It was covered with dust, and the outer layer was coated with a layer of smoothness. With Yang Dongxu's eyesight on the wood, he couldn't see it at all. What is this woody.

"Golden nanmu is all high-quality golden nanmu shipped from the Land of Abundance. Such a shelf can only be built with at least two golden nanmu. At that time, a single golden nanmu was worth a thousand gold. You must know that golden nanmu Even if it is buried underground, it will not rot for a thousand years." Old man Xuan sighed.

"Golden nanmu? Wow, you've made a fortune." Yang Dongxu jumped up directly. Although he didn't know the price of the later generations of golden nanmu, he knew that there were so many zeros and a total of more than a hundred wooden shelves. The money for the house was also earned back with interest.

"Will this...that homeowner get back these things in the future?" Yang Dongxu looked at old man Xuan worriedly.

"Don't worry, he doesn't know about this place. Otherwise, do you think he will sell this yard to you?" Old man Xuan snorted, as if he was not happy with helping Yang Dongxu take down this yard.
