Chapter 21: The Secret of the World, the Treasure Hidden by Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty
Seeing this piece of wood, everyone was stunned.
This is actually a Lu Ban lock made by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty himself!
Everyone knows that there was a famous carpenter emperor in the Ming Dynasty, namely, Ming Xizong Zhu Youjiao.
This carpenter emperor did not like to take care of state affairs, but was very interested in being a carpenter. He usually handed over all matters to the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and he himself made various wooden products in the harem every day.
If Su Yuan had not unlocked the Lu Ban lock, revealing the words and seal engraved by Zhu Youxiao himself, no one would have thought that this wooden artifact was actually made by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty himself!
Zixuan immediately took the piece of wood with the words and seal from Su Yuan, and after looking at it carefully for a long time, he couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Oh my god! This... this is actually the Lu Ban lock made by Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty himself!"
If it is a Lu Ban lock made by an unknown person and its age cannot be determined, it is worth at most one million.
But once it is confirmed to be a wooden artifact from the Ming Dynasty, and made of golden nanmu wood, plus it has the halo of being created by the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao himself, and it is written by him personally and has the emperor's seal, then it is worth more than one million.
But many millions!
In an instant, all the onlookers were stunned.
"Oh my god, brother, you got lucky again!"
Zixuan's eyes were shining with excitement, and he seemed to be even happier than himself for finding a bargain.
Sonija Yang was also very excited.
She originally wanted to do an exclusive interview with Su Yuan, but she didn't expect to witness such a legendary transaction.
On the side, Xu Wenliang and others were also amazed.
They didn't expect that Su Yuan would be able to pick up such a big bargain on his first day.
The Luban lock made by Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao himself has more than 300 unlocking instructions, with his own handwriting and the emperor's seal on it, and is made of golden nanmu wood...
How much is this worth!
A group of people looked at the Lu Ban lock with shining eyes, and their hearts were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also excited:
"Wow, it's actually a Lu Ban lock made by Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao himself, and it also has his own calligraphy and seal!"
"A treasure passed down from generation to generation, amazing!"
"Brother Su has made a fortune this time!"
"We were just thinking about crowdfunding to help him pay off his debts, but now we can only worship the rich!"
"That's right, this Luban lock must be worth tens of millions!"
"Keep it to yourself, brother. If it was an obscure golden nanmu artifact whose age could not be confirmed, it would only be worth three or two million. But this one is incredible!"
"I can't estimate the exact value, but it's probably more than 20 million!"
"Good fellow, it turns out that people like us can only watch others get rich!"
"That's right. If this thing is placed in front of me, I'm afraid even Phoebe nanmu may not be able to recognize it, let alone the one made by Emperor Xizong himself!"
"Brother Su is amazing. How did he recognize it?"
"This is the power of vision and knowledge!"
At this time, Sun Guang looked at the Lu Ban lock, his eyes moved for a moment, and then whispered something to the follower who was following him.
The follower immediately turned around and walked out.
Meanwhile, Su Yuan's decryption is still going on.
This Lu Ban lock has more than 300 ways to unlock it, but Su Yuan has only unlocked nearly 200 of them, and there are still more than 100 to be unlocked.
It has to be said that Xizong Zhu Youxiao might not be able to be an emperor, but he was definitely a good carpenter. He made this Lu Ban lock very complicated and difficult to unlock. Even though Su Yuan had unlocked it two hundred times, the joints of the back half of the wood were still very tight, and it still needed to be unlocked slowly step by step.
However, Su Yuan has the secret record of Luban Lock analysis, so he can naturally follow the clues to slowly unlock it. All he needs is time.
But as he untied the lock, Su Yuan's eyes lit up. He could clearly see that as the Luban lock was untied, the light from inside, which was only faint before, became clearer and brighter!
There are treasures inside!
Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sped up the decryption process.
Soon, there were less than a hundred pieces of golden nanmu Lu Ban lock left, and a corner of a wooden object hidden inside was vaguely revealed!
At the same time, a long-lasting, refreshing fragrance wafted out from inside.
People with sharp noses quickly smelled it, took a deep breath, and suddenly their pupils contracted:
"Agarwood!"
"This... there is an agarwood object hidden inside!"
When everyone heard it, they all smelled it carefully and were immediately all excited:
“It turns out there are treasures inside!”
"Golden nanmu is already very valuable, and there are actually agarwood objects hidden inside it!"
"Oh my god, this thing... is such a treasure!"
The live broadcast room was boiling again:
"Brother Su has made a fortune now!"
"An inch of agarwood is worth an inch of gold. Agarwood is expensive to begin with. If it is an agarwood item made by Zhu Youxiao, it will be even more expensive!"
"Zhu Youxiao likes wooden objects, so the things he makes are definitely good!"
"Oh my god, I can see that people are building tall buildings. Brother Su has suddenly become rich this time!"
"That depends on what's inside. It can't be just a lump of wood!"
"How could you hide a piece of wood inside such a sophisticated and complex golden nanmu Luban lock? Please stop messing around!"
"The Luban lock made by Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty must have a secret of sudden death hidden inside!"
"That's hard to say. Let's wait until Brother Su unlocks the Luban Lock!"
At this time, Zixuan was already a little impatient. He took out the pocket flashlight that he always carried with him for identifying treasures and shone it inside through the gap of the Luban lock.
Under the light of the flashlight, you can vaguely see that the wooden furniture inside seems to be a wooden pavilion.
The delicate and small windows and the slanted and flying eaves seem vaguely visible!
Zixuan's heart almost forgot to beat.
"Mom..."
"Good stuff!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't hold back their expectations and excitement, and quickly asked:
"Teacher Zixuan, what's in there?"
"Yeah, what did you see?"
Zixuan shook his head, smiled mysteriously and said:
"Just wait and see. You'll know once Brother Su solves it!"
Seeing him holding his breath and gasping for breath, everyone became even more anxious, and their hearts felt itchy as if they were being scratched by a cat.
But Su Yuan had already unlocked the Lu Ban Lock to the critical moment, and the last sixty Lu Ban Lock modules were the most difficult to unlock.
Each of the sixty Lu Ban locks has more than two mortise and tenon joints, and is tightly connected, and the steps are extremely complicated.
So, at this time, his speed slowed down.
A group of people gathered there, all stretching their necks anxiously, watching with shining eyes, their hearts beating so hard that it seemed like they were about to jump out of their chests.
