Courtyard House: Starting by inheriting the tradition and suppressing the barbarians.

After dealing with the lone wolf, Li Xuan didn't rush down the mountain.

Looking at the sky, there's still some time before it gets dark.

He was now deep in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing.

If you continue north for a while, you'll reach the famous Ming Tombs area.

"Since we're already here, wouldn't it be a waste not to visit that auspicious place over there?"

Standing on the hilltop, Li Xuan gazed at the distant, faintly visible imperial mausoleum complex, and a thought struck him.

The Ming Tombs are the burial place of thirteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and the feng shui there is excellent.

It is also accompanied by countless legends and undiscovered treasures.

Although he couldn't enter the imperial tombs that were on the surface, as they were too deep and sealed off.

But his current mental detection range has reached twenty meters!

At this depth, the underground palace cannot be detected.

However, it is more than enough to explore some burial pits or wild caves that were missed by tomb raiders back then!

"Let's go!"

Li Xuan moved like lightning, darting through the mountains and forests.

The closer you get to the Ming Tombs area, the more solemn the atmosphere seems to become.

He did not visit the main mausoleum areas that were already open to the public or guarded by tomb keepers.

Instead, they deliberately ventured into remote mountain valleys overgrown with weeds and rarely visited by people.

"Mental scan, full activation!"

The invisible spiritual force, like radar waves, penetrated deep into the earth beneath our feet, centered on this point.

Soil, rocks, tree roots...

He constructed a 3D model of all the underground structures in his mind.

For the first half hour, they found nothing but stones and mud.

But Li Xuan was very patient.

Finding a bargain is all about luck and perseverance.

Just as he was passing by a seemingly inconspicuous shady hillside.

"Um?"

Li Xuan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

In his spiritual perception, the soil suddenly became soft about eight or nine meters below his feet.

Moreover, it presents a regular square outline!

Those are traces of rammed earth!

Let's explore further down...

"Empty?"

Li Xuan's heart pounded wildly.

Beneath the rammed earth was a hollow cavity of about twenty or thirty square meters!

Although it's not large, it's definitely a tomb!

Or it could be a burial pit!

And judging from the location, it is extremely hidden, and there is no mound of earth on top.

Clearly, it was for theft prevention or hasty burial.

"We've struck it rich!"

Li Xuanqiang suppressed his excitement.

He immediately concentrated all his mental energy, penetrated the thick layer of rammed earth, and probed into the interior of the tomb chamber.

In the dark tomb chamber, there was no coffin, only rows of rotten and collapsed wooden frames.

And beneath those wooden shelves, countless dazzling objects were scattered about!

"That's porcelain!"

"Blue and white porcelain! And polychrome porcelain too!"

Although covered with a thick layer of dust, one could still sense the warm luster of the porcelain surface through spiritual power.

Judging from its shape and decoration, it is clearly a fine piece from the Ming Dynasty imperial kiln!

Large plates, plum vases, jade pot springs... there were over a hundred pieces, piled up haphazardly.

Next to the pile of porcelain, there were several large boxes.

The box was so badly damaged that its contents were exposed.

Golden and white!

Those are gold and silver ingots!

The words "pure white" and "official silver" are also engraved on it!

A rough count revealed at least dozens of gold ingots and hundreds of silver ingots!

"Take it all! Take it all!"

Li Xuan could no longer hold back and waved his hand.

The treasures were enveloped in spiritual energy.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

The contents of the underground tomb vanished instantly.

They were all moved to the open space in the Purple Cloud Space.

After looting the gold, silver, and porcelain, Li Xuan did not stop.

At the deepest part of the tomb chamber, there is a relatively well-preserved stone platform.

Several large wooden crates wrapped in layers of tarpaulin were placed on top.

These boxes look even more solemn than those containing gold and silver.

"What's in here?"

Li Xuan's curiosity was piqued, so he directly put it into his spatial storage.

……

Inside the Purple Cloud Space.

Standing in front of the newly unearthed treasure, Li Xuan felt his eyes were dazzled.

"We've struck it rich! This time we've really struck it rich!"

He picked up a Ming Dynasty Xuande incense burner. It felt heavy in his hand, and the patina was a deep reddish-brown. It was definitely a genuine article!

He picked up another gold ingot, which was engraved with the words "Wanli Fortieth Year"!

Good guy!

If this were sold at an auction in later generations, it would be considered too cheap even if sold by the gram!

But Li Xuan's gaze eventually fell on the most mysterious large wooden boxes.

He carefully peeled off the carbonized tarpaulin and pried open the box lid.

A musty, old scent of paper and ink wafted over.

Inside the box, neatly stacked volumes of thread-bound ancient books were arranged!

Although the pages are yellowed, the book is in remarkably good condition.

It is clear that special preservation methods were used.

Li Xuan's hands trembled as he picked up the top book.

On the cover, four large characters were written in neat official script: Yongle Encyclopedia!

Volume 11,100...

"boom!"

Li Xuan felt a roar in his mind and was completely stunned.

The Yongle Encyclopedia?

This is the largest encyclopedia in Chinese history, and it is hailed as "the largest encyclopedia in the history of the world"!

Unfortunately, its whereabouts have been unknown throughout history.

Most of its copies were destroyed in war and looting, and very few survive!

Each and every one of these books is a national treasure among national treasures! Priceless!

Now, what lies before Li Xuan are three large boxes, containing at least several hundred books!

Moreover, judging from the paper and handwriting, the cinnabar is bright and the ink is as black as lacquer.

This could be the legendary, long-lost Jiajing edition!

It might even be a fragment of the original Yongle edition!

"Oh My God..."

Li Xuan's hands, which were holding the book, were trembling slightly.

Gold and silver treasures may be desirable, but compared to these books, they are nothing but dung!

This is the inheritance of culture!

They are the backbone of the nation!

If these books were to end up scattered abroad or rot underground, it would be a loss for the entire nation.

"I never imagined that I, Li Xuan, would have such a fortuitous opportunity today!"

Li Xuan took a deep breath and solemnly put the book back in the box.

Then, with a thought, he stored all the boxes into his spatial storage.

"Rest assured, you will exist eternally within my Purple Heaven Space!"

"When the time is right, I will bring you back to the light of day and shock the world!"

At this moment, Li Xuan's sense of satisfaction reached its peak.

This is not only the accumulation of wealth, but also a sense of accomplishment in protecting civilization.

After calming his excited emotions, Li Xuan looked outside the space.

As the sun sets, the sky is already tinged with a blood-red sunset glow.

"It's time to go back."

"Today's trip yielded wild game, antiques, and even national treasures."

"If those beasts in the courtyard knew this, they'd probably have a stroke on the spot."

Li Xuan's lips curled slightly as he exited the spatial dimension.

They then left in a hurry, heading straight for the courtyard house...
