Vol 2 Chapter 12: Treasure Lost

"It's such a coincidence, we just made an appointment with Professor Saito for an interview tomorrow, and I didn't expect to meet Professor Saito's apprentice here in advance?" Kanako said enthusiastically.

"There, there! It was the most unforgettable experience in my life that I was fortunate to study with Professor Saito. Looking back now, do I still remember the treasure discovery with Professor Saito in the Buddha Village?" said.

"Oh! You also participated in the work of excavating the treasures of the Buddha Village?" Lin Xiu suddenly became interested when he heard this.

"Yes, this is also an unforgettable experience in my life, it's like having a direct conversation with characters from the Warring States Period! I just heard Miss Kanako's description of the situation when the treasures of the Buddha Village were unearthed, which reminded me of the experience back then. So I couldn't help but want to meet the two of you. By the way, did you mention Shingen's buried gold just now? I wonder if the two of you have unique opinions on this issue?" Yamazaki asked Kanako.

"With your expert present, I don't dare to show my ugliness! We actually want to hear the introduction of professionals, right, Shuichi-kun!" Kanako changed the subject and returned the right of explanation to Yamazaki Ichikosuke.

"Since the two of you are so humble, then I'll show my ugliness! Speaking of Shingen's buried gold, it seems to have become an intractable but fascinating mystery in the history of RB Warring States!"

"Emperor Xinxuan became increasingly weak in his later years, and he knew that his life would not be long. Therefore, he began to consider the issue of his successor. Among the many descendants of Duke Xinxuan, the eldest son, Yixin, was ordered to have his belly cut off, and the second son, Xin, was born blind and could not be taken with him. During the battle, the three sons died early, and the four sons, Shenglai, were reckless by nature, so brave and ruthless! Looking around the sons of Xixia, there was no suitable candidate to inherit the position of the family governor."

"It was under such circumstances that Duke Xinxuan set his sights on his grandchildren. Among the many grandchildren, only Shenglai's son Xinsheng was the most favored by Duke Xinxuan, so Duke Xinxuan took the position of family governor. It was passed on to his four sons, Shenglai, and I hope Shenglai will keep the family business for Xinsheng, and when Xinsheng comes of age, the Takeda family will dominate the world."

"King Shingen left a lot of gold as military resources for the future after Shinsheng ascended the throne. It is a pity that people are not as good as heaven. After just a few years after Shenglai ascended the throne, the huge Takeda family business was defeated. Erjing. In the end, Shenglai and Xinsheng, as well as the six sons of the Takeda family, Xinzhen, all died in the battle of Tianmu Mountain."

"At the Battle of Tianmu Mountain, there were only 48 samurai left in the Takeda family. They were surrounded by 3,000 troops of Takigawa Kazuma and fell into a hard battle. The official history records that Xinsheng died in battle, and Shengli committed suicide. However, there was a rumor that the body of Xinsheng in Tianmu Mountain was a shadow warrior. The real Shinsheng was actually rescued by his own samurai and fled elsewhere."

"It just so happened that shortly after the end of the Battle of Tianmu Mountain, there was a legend that the monks of the Buddha Temple tried to make money and kill themselves in the vicinity of the Buddha Village of Jiazhou. However, in Professor Saito's view, the Buddha Temple originally belonged to the Tiantai Sect, and Duke Xinxuan himself was the Tiantai Sect. The great monk is right. The claim of murdering someone for money is actually very suspicious."

……

Ichigo Yamazaki talked freely to Lin Xiuyi and Kanako, and Lin Xiuyi felt that he had gained a lot. At first, Lin Xiuyi thought that Yamazaki was deliberately showing off his knowledge in front of Kanako. However, Yamazaki was not tired of Lin Xiu's occasional interjection to ask for advice. Instead, he was happy to answer. Lin Xiuyi felt that Yamazaki simply liked to discuss historical issues with people.

After a chat, the three gradually became familiar with each other. At this time, Lin Xiuyi still had a big question in his mind, that is, why did Professor Saito not sell the Jin Xiaojun he had obtained, but instead donated it to museums and universities?

Ichigosuke Yamazaki did not answer directly, but continued to talk about another matter.

"Shuichi-kun, in the valley near the Buddha village during the Meiji period, a man's body was found who fell to his death, with dozens of gold sticks hidden on his body and a notebook recording the gold buried by Shingen. Here comes the boom of the Nuggets. But despite the large number of people, it has always achieved nothing.”

"Since then, there has been an upsurge in the field of history to study Shingen's buried gold, but from the Meiji era until now, the only one who has made a breakthrough in this regard is Professor Saito, who can be regarded as the only successful person in the past century. The excavation uncovered the scholar who buried Shingen's gold."

……

Ichigosuke Yamazaki didn't continue talking, seeing that Lin Xiuyi was still confused, Kanako simply explained to Lin Xiuyi.

"After Professor Saito discovered new clues about the treasure of Shingen, he published several monographs for ordinary people, which won wide acclaim in the publishing industry. Soon after that, Buyantang hired Professor Saito with a high salary. Special advisor. In addition, because this discovery is of great significance in the field of archaeology and history, Professor Saito has become the youngest full professor at Yamanashi University..."

Lin Xiu suddenly realized when he heard this. No wonder they all said that Professor Saito has made a fortune. If nothing else, the annual income of a full professor at the National University has exceeded 10 million~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is not counting What about the consultant fees for Going to Wuyantang, and the readers who come for the treasure. It seems that after this Professor Saito donated the Jin Xiaojing he discovered, he earned far more than the direct auction of these treasures!

"I'm sorry, the question I just asked was too much!" After Lin Xiu repeatedly got the answer he wanted to know, he took the initiative to apologize.

"Please don't mind, Professor Saito's life is legendary, and it's normal for people who don't know it to be interested!" Yamazaki Ichiko said with a smile.

"By the way, do you still remember the scene when Professor Saito discovered these Jin Xiaoshen?" Lin Xiu became more interested in this Professor Saito, and was also very concerned about the clues of the treasure. Because the rib cage that killed Ayu was not an ordinary thing, it was a samurai rib cage in the Warring States Period. Could this rib have something to do with the treasure?

"I also participated in the excavation work that year, and I can still remember the excitement of excavating these treasures! At that time, I was studying as a trainee at Yamanashi University. During the summer vacation, I followed Professor Saito to the Buddha Village to meet a quilt. We carried out excavation work on the tombs of warriors from the Warring States Period that had been robbed. Just when we felt sorry for the stolen tombs, Professor Saito miraculously found these four Warring States Period Jin Xiaojings in the tombs..."

When he mentioned the excavation experience at that time, Ichigosuke Yamazaki was very excited. He even introduced to Lin Xiuyi some things that should be paid attention to when cleaning up these Jin Xiaojing after the excavation.

"Because these Jin Xiaojings are old, there are many traces of use on them, such as silt and dirt in some pores and cracks. For these traces, we must also preserve them completely, because these traces are also historical witnesses... "
