No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

The huge stone gate is the only entrance and exit to the space.

The stone walls on all sides were two heads taller than him. The height from the floor to the dome was about ten feet, the depth from front to back was about one hundred and fifty steps, and the width from left to right was about thirty steps, which means an area of ​​thirty feet by six feet, nearly one thousand square meters.

There were countless things placed in the spacious secret room.

The front half of the space near the stone gate is lined with densely packed treasure chests, and each shelf on each treasure chest is filled with boxes of various sizes. In the back half of the space, large wooden boxes are placed irregularly on the ground. Some of the boxes are locked, and some are stacked one level higher than other boxes.

The calligraphy and paintings that Ji Qingyue saw when he came to this space were piled in the middle of the entire space, which happened to be the cross intersection formed by the junction of the box and the treasure cabinet and the middle aisle.

The scroll that serves as the new entrance and exit should be hidden in this pile of calligraphy and paintings.

Although this is a secret room for storing items, what is surprising is that the owner of the secret room actually placed dozens of simple copper lamp holders in the secret room. The lamp holders are half a person's height, and a bowl-shaped vessel filled with lamp oil is supported on the top of the slender pillars.

Only a few of these lamp bowls showed signs of having been burned. The wicks and lamp oil in most of the lamp bowls were intact, and they were in a state of being filled with oil but not burned.

This discovery made Ji Qingyue very happy. After all, the lighting time of a candle is very short and its effectiveness is far less than that of an oil lamp.

Ji Qingyue moved a lamp holder to the pile of calligraphy and paintings, and after lighting the oil lamp in the bowl, the candle could then retire.

The secret room didn't seem as cold as the painting. After being out for so long, Ji Qingyue felt a layer of hot sweat gradually appearing on his back.

He took off his cloak, put aside his backpack, water bag and saddlebag, and then his next task was to concentrate on examining the scroll on the ground.

There seemed to be hundreds or even thousands of paintings and calligraphy in this pile, and it would obviously take a long time to find his painting among them.

Fortunately, the thing he has the most right now is time.

In order to protect his butt from getting frozen, Ji Qingyue placed his cloak on the ground, sat on it, reached out and pulled out a scroll, and repeatedly unfolded it, scanned it from top to bottom, signed it to show that it was not Monk Bai Qingshan, and then folded it up and put it aside.

After an unknown amount of time, the discarded scrolls had gradually piled up into a small hill beside his hand, and his stomach was reminding him that it was time to eat.

In a pitch-black environment, it is easiest to ignore the passage of time.

Ji Qingyue had no idea what time it was, nor how long he had been here.

He felt bored while chewing on his dry food.

After filling his stomach, he continued to repeat the process.

After a while, the height of the pile of scrolls that had been checked had unknowingly become higher than the scrolls that had not been checked. Just when Ji Qingyue was feeling depressed and irritated again, the scroll he had just picked up gave him a very familiar feeling.

that's it.

The scroll slowly unfolded, and familiar inscriptions and familiar seals appeared before his eyes, enough to prove that this was the scroll he was looking for!

This painting is full of layers of steep mountains!

The foreground, middle ground and background in the picture are all steep mountains that tower into the clouds. Some mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, some mountains are covered with snow, some mountains are rocky, and some mountains have a winding tree growing diagonally...

Ji Qingyue stared at it for a while and found that there was an inexplicable concave gap between the mountains in the foreground and the middle ground of the painting, a gap that was nearly circular.

After looking at it for a while, it seems that we can infer that the sudden depression in the mountains is either a plain or a lake!

Whether it is a plain or a lake depends on whether the painter depicts water.

On the left side of the picture, there are several parallel curved waves, looming between the mountains, and the direction of the waves is exactly the sunken area at the same height in the picture.

Therefore, it can be inferred that the sunken area is a lake.

Monk Bai Qingshan did not spend any time describing the appearance of the lake. Viewers of the painting can only guess that there is a lake in the mountains. The shape of the lake, the scenery on the lake, and the scenery around the lake are all unknown.

In addition to a lake that was not depicted by the painter, Ji Qingyue also noticed that the sky in the painting was actually the night sky.

The high moon and the scattered stars shine brightly in the sky.

"The cold and icy waters are reflected in the water, and the frosty texture is moistened by the clouds. The streams are full of water, and the forests are far away and the rocks are dense. - Bai Qingshan Monk"

Looking at the poems on the painting, Ji Qingyue suddenly felt that he was really illiterate and that all his nine years of compulsory education were in vain. He could understand every word in the poem, but it was obviously a bit difficult for him to read the words connected together.

Anyway, the poem definitely mentions water...

After thinking for a while, Ji Qingyue decisively decided to give up trying to understand the meaning of the poem. He put the "Picture of Mountains" aside in frustration.

Suddenly, he accidentally touched the screen and disappeared from the secret room the next moment.

On the top of the mountain, the cold wind is howling, the mountain is covered with ice and snow, and the sun is setting in the west.

The sudden scene change left Ji Qingyue no time to react, and the unexpected strong wind made him a little dazed.

He stretched out his hand and touched the barrier again, and immediately returned to the secret room the next second.

Ok?

Looking at the messy scrolls on the floor under the dim light, Ji Qingyue was stunned.

It seemed like night when we reached the top of the mountain, so how come it’s dusk now?

To confirm again, he jumped into the painting again and found that the sun was indeed in the west.

Ji Qingyue looked at the mole on the palm of his hand, which was still bright red!

The eight-hour limit for going out has long passed. Logically, he should have been forced back into the painting. How could he go out now?

Ji Qingyue immediately had an answer and the deadline was extended.

In order to determine the new time limit for going out, Ji Qingyue paid special attention to the mole on the palm of his hand. Whenever there was a slight change in color, he would immediately return to the painting.

After testing, Ji Qingyue was pleasantly surprised to find that the eight-hour outing limit was extended to seventy-two hours! !

Three whole days!!

Oh my god! When Ji Qingyue was forced to return to the painting again, he didn't feel unhappy at all because he didn't have enough fun. Instead, he was so excited that he almost cried!

No more having to find excuses for not being able to go out!!

The wind on the top of the mountain still did not stop, but fortunately the sky was clear that night, and the bright moon was hanging high in the sky, illuminating the way down the mountain.

Ji Qingyue, wrapped in a windbreaker, climbed down the dirt and rock slope slowly, while silently putting the plan of building stairs forward in his mind.

At dawn, Ji Qingyue returned home. The first thing he did was to take a hot bath to warm his body. While taking a bath, his brain did not rest, but was organizing the information he had obtained.

These three days were almost all spent in the secret room. The secret room was so secret that one could not tell day from night. No light could enter the secret room. During the day, even if one lay on the crack of the door and looked out, no light could be seen.

This further confirms that this secret room is either underground or in the mountain, or that the stone door is just the last checkpoint leading to the secret room.

Although the space was almost airtight, a lot of dust still fell into the secret room because of the gap in the door that allowed air to pass through.

The arc-shaped scratches formed by the friction between the stone door and the brick surface when it was opened and closed were not very deep, which showed that outsiders had entered the secret room very rarely. The layer of dust covering the scratches indicated that no one had opened the door recently.

These discoveries would undoubtedly make Ji Qingyue worried. If no one came in, he would have no chance to leave the secret room. If the owner of the secret room had forgotten the existence of the secret room or something unexpected happened, then no one would open the secret room...

Thinking of this, even though he was soaking in hot water, Ji Qingyue couldn't help but shiver.

He immersed his head in the water to warm it up. The comfortable water temperature allowed him to selectively forget this unpleasant situation and continue to think about other information.

Unlike the thick dust covering the treasure chest and the large wooden box, there was very little dust on the scroll, which meant that the scroll entered the secret room later than the treasure chest and the large wooden box.

Most of the wooden boxes were hung with heavy iron locks. Ji Qingyue could only try to weigh the box by holding the iron ring on one side. Unexpectedly, he found that the boxes were extremely heavy. Even if he used all his strength, he could only barely raise them a little.

When he let go, the bottom of the wooden box hit the ground heavily with a dull "bang" sound, and an obvious metallic collision sound came from inside the box.

He had been doing business with Tai'anlou for a long time and knew what kind of sound was made when copper coins or silver ingots collided. The collision sound in the box was not the sound of copper coins or silver ingots colliding.

Ji Qingyue tried to move a dozen locked boxes and found that they were all filled with the same things.

I don't know what metal object it is.

Checking one by one, he found that some of the wooden boxes had no locks.

Ji Qingyue casually opened a box, and the next moment he saw what was inside the box without any preparation, and in an instant, there was only a golden light in front of his eyes! !

Who would have thought that these unlocked boxes contained gold!!

A box full of gold!!!

The gold is in the shape of cakes, each about the size of a fist.

Ji Qingyue picked up a gold cake, tossed it up gently to weigh it, and found that it weighed about half a pound.

Turning the gold cake over, you will see several stamps on the back, with different characters engraved on them. It looks like there are four or five different symbols, including nouns, numerals, directional words, surnames, etc. The symbols on different gold cakes are not exactly the same.

Thinking of something, Ji Qingyue opened several adjacent wooden boxes.

When he opened the fifth box, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

Looking at the next dozen unlocked boxes, he felt powerless and didn't need to look any further.

Each layer of the box can hold thirty gold cakes. If we look at the height, and assume there are eight layers, then each box contains at least one hundred kilograms of gold! !

There are more than twenty unlocked boxes here!!!

At least two thousand pounds!

Powerless, really powerless.

In the end, Ji Qingyue remained cautious and opened all the unlocked boxes, and as expected, they were all filled with gold.

According to the currency exchange rate of Dali, one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, or one thousand copper coins.

Based on the current rice price in Dali, the gold here can buy almost 100 million kilograms of rice.

The gold was not locked, but the unknown metals were locked up. The locks were all iron locks that were difficult to pry open, which showed that the owner of the secret room cared more about the objects made of unknown metals.

Ji Qingyue looked at the countless treasure chests arranged in the front half of the secret room. There were many boxes on the treasure chests, and the boxes also had no locks.

Ji Qingyue tried to open some more boxes and found that the things inside the boxes were varied.

Porcelain and lacquerware, raw stone and jade, jewelry, wood carvings and stone carvings, writing brushes, inkstones, stringed instruments, etc.

The length and width of the box will vary depending on the size of the items.

As he continued to unpack the box, Ji Qingyue could roughly guess what was in the box based on its size.

Three days were all spent on opening the box.

Finally, Ji Qingyue had to face the fact: the owner of this secret room was extremely rich.

No matter what the origins of these things are, the fact that the owner of the secret room could dig out this secret room and place these things shows that he is extraordinary.

Ji Qingyue sat in the bathtub with his eyes closed, thinking back to when he first saw the box of gold, and his heart was calm.

It only took three days from the initial shock to the struggle and then to numbness.

The most important thing right now is how to leave the secret room.

I don't know the direction or the structure of the secret room, so I can't rashly chisel a hole in the wall. If I get buried alive, there will be no one to help me.

Although he has never tested whether he would die like a normal person if he encountered fatal danger, he would not rashly test it when the circumstances were unknown. No one would use his own life to test whether he would die.

After all, dead is dead.

If you can't dig a hole and get out, then there is only one way left: wait!

Without help from outsiders, Ji Qingyue could only use primitive means to record time, scratching characters on wood to record the date.

I lost contact with the outside world on the sixth day of the first lunar month in the sixth year of Baoying. I have been in the secret room for three days. Now it is the tenth day of the first lunar month.

Three months. If no one comes in for three months, no matter what the situation is outside the secret room, he will try to chisel open the stone door.

After figuring out the next plan, Ji Qingyue came out of the water. He did not go back to the kang to catch up on his sleep immediately. Instead, he fed the hungry livestock and then went to the granary to check the remaining grain and seeds.

The three pregnant ewes had been sent away by him, and in return, Li Aong caught five half-grown lambs for him. Now there was a ram and five ewes in the sheepfold.

There are a large number of chickens, ducks and geese, nearly a hundred in total, with more females than males. When he doesn't want to increase the number, he feeds them separately. The eggs they lay when the weather warms up are enough for him to supplement protein.

Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to bring the pig in, so we won’t be able to eat pork for the next while.

As for food, most of the rice, wheat and millet were given to Li Erlang. Now there are only less than 200 kilograms of rice and less than 100 kilograms of wheat in the granary, as well as some storable vegetables. There are still two months before spring plowing, so in the coming days, as long as we plan our food, we don't have to worry about starving before the first crop is harvested.

Likewise, the livestock also had to follow his lead and reduce their rations.

Ji Qingyue attaches great importance to seed preservation, so the storage of other seeds is still sufficient. There is no need to worry about the lack of any seed. As long as it is planted, it will survive, and as long as it survives, there will be seeds.

After sorting out the inventory, Ji Qingyue finally felt at ease and went back to sleep.
